Chapter 77

 

Chapter 77: Enlightenment? (2)

 

After the battle with Gallaclro, Dohyun’s party returned to the dormitory and immediately rested.

 

Naturally, Hanalin and Jiyuchan were also quite exhausted, so they washed up and went straight to sleep. Since Dohyun’s party rarely came back this early from hunting, some Hunters found it strange, but most found Dohyun’s party intimidating, so they didn’t particularly ask about it.

 

Not only Dohyun, who was a newcomer yet had defeated Ihae-in, but Hanalin and Jiyuchan only acted somewhat foolish among their party members—they were endlessly cold toward others.

 

Because of this, Dohyun’s party was able to rest more comfortably in the dormitory than expected, and a day passed like that. They had rested on the third day saying they were studying, and the fourth day was practically wasted because of Gallaclro, so wouldn’t Dohyun hunt really intensively today on the fifth day?

 

That’s what Hanalin and Jiyuchan were thinking, but as if to betray those expectations, Dohyun said:

 

“Sorry, let’s rest today too.”

 

“…What???”

 

“…What, what did you just say???”

 

It was such an unexpected statement that both of them blinked and asked again, and Dohyun couldn’t help but chuckle. Even for Dohyun, such a reaction was a bit hurtful… well, it wasn’t hurtful, but it was still too much, he thought.

 

Anyway, since those two were bewildered, Dohyun explained.

 

“Hmm, after fighting yesterday, I don’t think just hunting quickly and growing is the answer. We should also spar, and we’re not actually utilizing all the skills we have, right?”

 

At Dohyun’s words, Hanalin and Jiyuchan could also realize.

 

Certainly, due to the battle with Gallaclro, they felt that rushing wasn’t the answer, so Dohyun said that, and both nodded their heads.

 

“…That’s true.”

 

“…We couldn’t use everything we had.”

 

Being too focused only on combat naturally narrowed the range of what they used, and both felt momentary hesitation, so they could empathize with Dohyun’s words.

 

In times like these, they needed to be able to quickly judge what they possessed, what they should do right now, and use it accordingly, but all three lacked this ability.

 

No, to be precise, Dohyun did use analysis. With Reverse Flow, he also gained new enlightenment in an instant and somehow managed to stop Gallaclro, making Hanalin’s Frost Ray hit and actually deal damage.

 

But Dohyun thought he wasn’t much different from Jiyuchan and Hanalin.

 

He couldn’t use Fatal Strike, one of the techniques that was still burdensome to use, and there were other techniques he couldn’t use as well.

 

Especially.

 

‘Using magic is still unnatural.’

 

If Hanalin or Jiyuchan heard this, they would glare at Dohyun asking what kind of nonsense that was, but Dohyun’s words were actually true.

 

It was a result confirmed through analysis.

 

Certainly, what the analysis said was correct.

 

He was still having difficulty using magic while moving his body and swinging his sword simultaneously. It was like turns existed—he would swing his sword then use magic, or use magic then use his sword, so he thought that part was lacking.

 

There were times when he swung his sword while simultaneously using magic and utilizing them together, but shouldn’t he be able to do that in all situations to call it his true full power?

 

That’s why Dohyun suggested resting today.

 

Plus, since he had obtained Aesthetics of Sacrifice this time, he needed to perfectly master his techniques.

 

Hanalin and Jiyuchan also nodded as if they strongly agreed with Dohyun’s words.

 

While F-rank and E-rank required more than a week to exit, D-rank was shortened by a day so they could exit in six days.

 

And now Dohyun’s party had been here for five days, so if today passed, it would be six days and they could leave, so Dohyun’s suggestion to train a bit while they were here was reasonable.

 

“Real combat isn’t the only way to become stronger.”

 

“We can train at the Hunter Association Gymnasium too, but the efficiency isn’t as good as here.”

 

As Jiyuchan said, they could train at the gymnasium, but the efficiency was poor.

 

First, the mana concentration was drastically different. Although the D-rank Zone had much denser concentration than F-rank, the mana concentration on Earth outside the Black Gate was less than one-tenth of F-rank, the lowest inside the Black Gate, so efficiency was bound to be poor.

 

This was also the fundamental reason they agreed to train for two days instead.

 

Moreover, as Hanalin said, real combat wasn’t the only means of becoming stronger.

 

Once that was decided, Dohyun stood up.

 

“I need to go to the backyard and spar a bit.”

 

Dohyun stood up like that and looked at Jiyuchan as he spoke.

 

“How about it, Jiyuchan? Hamtaesik is sturdy, but rather than the taste of sparring, it feels like just hitting a stationary target.”

 

“That’s exactly what I want.”

 

Hanalin wanted to join too, but instead, she looked at the two and said:

 

“Then I should organize my magic a bit. I know all the magic I’ve learned, but I think I need to organize how to utilize them and in what situations I should use them.”

 

“That’s definitely true.”

 

Dohyun and Jiyuchan also nodded.

 

Right now, each of them needed training to better use their own techniques.

 

Dohyun and Jiyuchan went out to spar like that, and Hanalin spread out a notebook in the dormitory room and began listing all the magic she could use, starting to classify them as if analyzing.

 

Jiyuchan was fighting mainly by handling the Golden Sword while sparring, and although Dohyun didn’t use magic because there were many watching eyes, he was sparring while thinking about what timing he should use magic and what magic he should use if he did, so it was definitely helpful.

 

Naturally, other Korean Hunter Association D-rank Hunters gathered one by one to watch their sparring, and swallowed their saliva at Dohyun and Jiyuchan’s high-level sparring.

 

“…What kind of level is that…”

 

“Those guys are newcomers…”

 

“No, what the…”

 

“Whoa.”

 

Everyone let out admiration close to sighs while watching their sparring with sweaty palms.

 

The guys who were initially crushed by defeat when Dohyun first came here were the same.

 

They felt something heart-warming from the two’s sparring, and seeing Dohyun and Jiyuchan’s appearance, some of those who had been crushed by defeat began to come to their senses, with determination gradually dwelling in their eyes one by one.

 

“…I should train a bit too.”

 

“Watching this makes my body itch. Let’s do it together.”

 

“…We used to be that motivated too.”

 

“It’s not just talent.”

 

Some admired the talent while watching Dohyun and Jiyuchan’s sparring, but some of those who had been soaked in defeat couldn’t help but feel something seeing those two, who seemed like geniuses, sparring like that and sometimes stopping to train what each had realized.

 

If even such geniuses made countless efforts, what right did they have to blame talent and do nothing? Shouldn’t they actually work harder than those two?

 

With such thoughts, the Hunters who had been crushed by defeat also stepped forward and began training, and when Ihae-in returned to the dormitory in the afternoon, he couldn’t help but be surprised at the sight.

 

“Huh.”

 

The atmosphere in the dormitory, which had remained the same for several days since Dohyun’s party arrived, was suddenly changing dramatically.

 

Originally, there were quite a few pessimistic people no matter who came.

 

Those who had reached their limits, given up, and exhausted their strength to move forward.

 

Though Dohyun had described them as having the eyes of losers, Ihae-in thought of them as people who had compromised with reality, but it was Dohyun who made even such people rekindle their passion.

 

Even now, Dohyun was training and sparring with Jiyuchan again. Watching those two, Ihae-in could feel something stirring warmly in his chest.

 

It seemed like the other Hunters felt something similar to what he was experiencing.

 

And.

 

“…Ihae-in, want to spar with me?”

 

“Can I join in too?”

 

Though Ihae-in’s party was already exhausted from hunting, seeing those two seemed to fire them up as his party members spoke to Ihae-in like that, and Ihae-in could only smile gently.

 

Then he nodded and replied.

 

“Sounds good. Let’s have a sparring match after a long time.”

 

Thus, Dohyun’s party changed the entire D-rank dormitory, but whether they knew it or not, Dohyun and Jiyuchan continued bickering and shouting.

 

“What was that just now!? That’s cheating!!!”

 

“Where’s the cheating in sparring?”

 

“Isn’t that something you say in real combat?”

 

“Ah, is that so?”

 

Jiyuchan raised his voice as if he felt quite wronged, but that didn’t last long either, and the two started sparring again.

 

Dohyun and Jiyuchan, drenched in sweat, once again swung their swords here and there with golden light flashing.

 

Dohyun chuckled as he swung his sword, feeling that Jiyuchan, who had always shown only an arrogant and cold demeanor at the Training Facility, had changed a lot too.

 

“Ugh!”

 

Getting beaten by Dohyun wasn’t much different from the Training Facility days, though.

 

* * *

 

Since they were inside the Maze Region, they couldn’t tell whether the sun had risen or set, but they had a clock so they could tell it was gradually becoming evening. When Dohyun and Jiyuchan came out after washing their sweat-soaked bodies clean, Hanalin also closed her notebook, saying she should call it a day.

 

It had been a meaningful time for all three of them.

 

Dohyun was also able to get a feel for how to use his techniques by sparring with Jiyuchan, who was definitely a worthy opponent compared to other Hunters, and the same was true for Jiyuchan.

 

Now, unlike before, he could utilize the Golden Sword techniques in the right place at the right time, even if not perfectly, and Dohyun had become able to use the power of Fatal Strike that he had sealed away to some extent.

 

Originally, it was a technique he was reluctant to use because it took too long to use in actual combat and consumed considerable mana, but now it was somewhat different.

 

Though he couldn’t use it freely yet, he had made it efficient enough to pull out and use when he wanted to.

 

And Hanalin also felt her mind becoming somewhat organized as she sorted through her magic.

 

All three of them were able to spend such a satisfying day.

 

As all three of them frantically trained like that.

 

Grumble———

 

Grumble———

 

Grumble———

 

All three of their stomachs rumbled as if churning.

 

Come to think of it, after eating breakfast, all three of them had skipped meals while training. Only now realizing this, they could feel quite hungry.

 

Hanalin seemed a bit embarrassed by this as her ears turned red, but neither Dohyun nor Jiyuchan particularly minded, and Dohyun spoke as if this worked out well.

 

“Then shall we go out and get some food?”

 

It was a declaration of a dinner gathering.
