Chapter 77
Chapter 77: Enlightenment? (2)
The Dohyun Party returned to the Dormitory after their battle with Gallaclro and rested immediately.
Naturally, Hanalin and Jiyuchan were also quite exhausted, so they bathed and fell asleep right away. Since the Dohyun Party rarely returned so quickly from hunts, some Hunters found it odd, but most feared the Dohyun Party enough not to ask questions.
Dohyun, a newcomer who had defeated Ihae-in, was the same way, but Hanalin and Jiyuchan acted somewhat foolish only among their Party Members—toward others, they were infinitely cold.
Because of this, the Dohyun Party could rest more comfortably at the Dormitory than expected, and a day passed. On the third day, they rested under the pretense of studying, and on the fourth day, they essentially wasted a day because of Gallaclro, so wouldn’t Dohyun push hard with hunting today, the fifth day?
That’s what Hanalin and Jiyuchan thought, but as if to betray their expectations, Dohyun spoke.
“Sorry, let’s take it easy today too.”
“…Huh???”
“…What, what did you just say???”
The statement was so unexpected that both blinked and asked again, and Dohyun couldn’t help but chuckle. Even for Dohyun, such a reaction was somewhat hurtful—well, not really, but still, it felt excessive.
In any case, since both of them looked bewildered, Dohyun explained.
“Well, after fighting yesterday, I realized that just hunting quickly and growing isn’t everything. We should also spar, and honestly, we’re not fully utilizing all the techniques we currently have, right?”
From Dohyun’s words, Hanalin and Jiyuchan could understand.
The battle with Gallaclro had indeed made them realize that rushing wasn’t everything, so Dohyun spoke that way, and both nodded in agreement.
“…That’s certainly true.”
“…We didn’t use everything we had.”
Because they were so focused on combat, the range of techniques they used naturally narrowed, and both felt momentary hesitation, so they could empathize with Dohyun’s words.
In situations like this, they needed to quickly understand what they possessed and make swift decisions about what to do right now, but all three lacked that.
Well, to be precise, Dohyun did use techniques through Analysis. Backflow also allowed him to gain sudden new insights and somehow stop Gallaclro, allowing Hanalin’s Frost Ray to land and actually deal damage.
But Dohyun didn’t think he was much different from Jiyuchan and Hanalin.
He hadn’t used Final Word, one of the techniques still burdensome to employ, and there were other techniques he hadn’t used either.
Especially.
‘Using magic still feels unnatural.’
If Hanalin or Jiyuchan heard that, they would glare at Dohyun asking what he meant, but what Dohyun said was true.
It was a result confirmed through Analysis.
[Analyzing your magical application in the current battle.]
[You use magic, but your perfect utilization of it is still insufficient.]
[You use magic appropriately in each moment, but because you’re using it hastily, your timing is lacking or you’re giving enemies time to prepare.]
Analysis was certainly right.
I was still struggling to use magic simultaneously while moving my body and swinging my sword. It was as if turns existed—I would swing my sword and cast magic, or cast magic and swing my sword, so I felt that aspect was lacking.
There were times when I swung my sword while simultaneously using magic and utilized them together, but to truly call myself at full strength, shouldn’t I be able to do that in every situation?
That’s why Dohyun suggested taking it easy today.
Moreover, since he had obtained the Aesthetics of Sacrifice this time, he needed to perfectly master his techniques.
At Dohyun’s words, Hanalin and Jiyuchan nodded vigorously in strong agreement.
While F-rank and E-rank required at least a week before they could leave, D-rank allowed them to leave after six days, with one day reduced.
And now the Dohyun Party had been here for five days, and after today they would have six days and could leave, so Dohyun’s suggestion to train while staying here was reasonable.
“It’s not true that only real combat makes you stronger.”
“We can train at the Hunter Association Gymnasium, but the efficiency isn’t as good as here.”
As Jiyuchan said, they could train at the Gymnasium, but the efficiency was poor.
First, there was a stark difference in mana concentration. The D-rank Zone had mana far denser than F-rank, yet Earth outside the Black Gate possessed mana density less than one-tenth of the lowest F-rank inside the Black Gate, making training efficiency inevitably poor.
This was fundamentally why I had agreed to two days of training in the first place.
Besides, as Hanalin said, actual combat wasn’t the only means to grow stronger.
With that settled, Dohyun rose from his seat.
“I should head to the backyard and get some sparring in.”
Dohyun stood and spoke to Jiyuchan.
“What do you say, Jiyuchan? Hamtaesik is sturdy enough, but sparring with him feels more like hitting a stationary target than actual combat.”
“That’s exactly what I want.”
Hanalin wanted to join as well, but instead she spoke as she watched the two of them.
“I should organize my magic. I know all the spells I’ve learned, but I need to sort through how to apply them and in what situations to use them.”
“That makes sense.”
Dohyun and Jiyuchan nodded in agreement.
Right now, each of them needed training to better utilize their own techniques.
Dohyun and Jiyuchan went out to spar, while Hanalin opened a notebook in her dormitory room and began listing and analyzing all the spells she could use.
During the sparring, Jiyuchan focused on wielding the Golden Sword as his primary fighting method, while Dohyun, with his keen observational eye, refrained from using magic but instead thought through the timing of when to use it and which spells would be most effective—making the sparring genuinely beneficial for both.
Naturally, other D-rank Hunters from the Korean Hunter Association gathered one by one to watch their sparring, swallowing hard at the high level of skill displayed by Dohyun and Jiyuchan.
“…What level is this….”
“They’re supposed to be newcomers….”
“No, what….”
“Wow.”
They all let out exclamations close to sighs, watching the sparring with sweaty palms.
The ones who had been steeped in defeat when Dohyun first arrived were no exception.
Something stirring and warm bloomed in their chests watching the sparring, and as they observed Dohyun and Jiyuchan, some of those who had been drowning in defeat began to regain their resolve, their eyes gradually kindling with determination.
“…I should train too.”
“Watching this makes my body itch to move. Let’s do it together.”
“…We used to have that kind of passion too.”
“It’s not just talent.”
Some marveled at the talent displayed by Dohyun and Jiyuchan, but those who had been drowning in defeat couldn’t help but feel something watching even these geniuses spar, then pause to train what they had individually realized—they couldn’t help but feel something.
If even these geniuses trained endlessly, what right did they have to blame talent and do nothing? Shouldn’t they be working even harder than these two?
With such thoughts, the Hunters who had been steeped in defeat began to step forward and train, and when Ihae-in returned to the dormitory in the afternoon, she couldn’t help but be astonished at the sight.
“Huh.”
The atmosphere of the dormitory, which had been the same for days since the Dohyun Party arrived, was suddenly changing rapidly.
Originally, there were quite a few pessimistic people regardless of who came.
Those who had reached their limits, given up, and exhausted all their remaining strength to advance.
Dohyun had called it the eyes of the defeated, but Ihae-in had thought of them as those who had compromised with reality—yet it was Dohyun who reignited the passion even in such people.
Even now, Dohyun was training and sparring with Jiyuchan again. Watching the two of them, Ihae-in could feel something warm blooming in her own chest.
It seemed the other Hunters felt something similar.
And.
“…Ihae-in, want to spar with me?”
“Can I join too?”
Ihae-in’s party had already been hunting and was exhausted, but seeing those two, their spirits ignited. The party members urged Ihae-in, and he couldn’t help but smile softly.
Then he nodded and replied.
“Fine. Let’s have a sparring match for the first time in a while.”
Thus, the Dohyun Party transformed the entire D-rank Dormitory, though whether Dohyun and Jiyuchan knew it or not, they bickered and shouted at each other.
“What was that just now!? That was cheap!!!”
“There’s no such thing as cheap in a sparring match.”
“That’s what you say in actual combat!”
“Ah, is that so?”
Jiyuchan raised his voice, clearly feeling wronged, but it didn’t last long before the two resumed their sparring.
Dohyun and Jiyuchan, drenched in sweat, swung their blades back and forth, trailing golden light.
Dohyun felt a slight smile cross his face as he realized how much Jiyuchan had changed—the aloof, perfect gentleman he’d always seen at the Training Facility was no longer the same—and he swung his blade.
“Ugh!”
What Jiyuchan endured from Dohyun wasn’t much different from the Training Facility days.
* * *
Being inside the Labyrinth Region, there was no way to tell if the sun had risen or set, but with a watch, they could tell evening was approaching. Once Dohyun and Jiyuchan had thoroughly washed away the sweat and emerged, Hanalin also decided to call it a day and closed her notebook.
All three had spent meaningful time.
Dohyun himself, sparring with Jiyuchan—someone truly worth training against compared to other Hunters—had grasped how to employ his techniques, and Jiyuchan had done the same.
Now, unlike before, though not perfect, he could apply the Golden Sword’s techniques precisely where needed, and Dohyun had become capable of using the power of Severing Life, which he had sealed away until now, to a certain degree.
Originally, it was a technique he’d avoided using because it took too long to execute in actual combat and consumed considerable mana, but now things were different.
While not to the point of wielding it freely, he had made it efficient enough to draw upon it whenever he wished.
And Hanalin too, as she organized her magic, felt her mind becoming clearer.
All three had spent a satisfying day.
As all three became absorbed in their training like this.
Grrrrrr———
Grrrrrr———
Grrrrrr———
The three of their stomachs growled loudly.
Come to think of it, they had all skipped meals while training after breakfast. Only now realizing it, they felt quite hungry.
Hanalin’s ears turned red from embarrassment, but neither Dohyun nor Jiyuchan paid it much mind, and Dohyun spoke as if things had worked out well.
“Then shall we go out and grab some food?”
It was a declaration of a group meal.
