Episode 9

Chapter 9: Advice? (1)

Although Dohyun had defeated Jiyuchan, the trainees were still staring at the sparring area with bewildered expressions.

And for good reason—they had blinked once, and somehow Jiyuchan was lying on the ground.

They couldn’t even see exactly what Dohyun had done.

“What, what just passed by?”

“Did, did Yuchan lose?”

“No, how?”

“Do, Dohyun won, right?”

“I, I think so?”

“Crazy, I couldn’t even see it…?”

Not one of the eight people excluding Dohyun and Jiyuchan had seen it properly.

That’s how much faster Dohyun’s speed was than they could imagine.

At first they couldn’t understand, but since Jiyuchan was down and his opponent Dohyun was standing, the match was decided, wasn’t it?

Belatedly realizing this, the Team 1 members excluding Dohyun burst into cheers.

“Waaaah!”

“Dohyun oppa is the best!”

“Really incredibly fast! I couldn’t even see it!”

“Hyung is really the best!”

They burst into cheers looking at Dohyun, but unfortunately Dohyun was looking at Gangjihun with an aggrieved expression rather than enjoying it.

Thanks to Gangjihun using a technique on Dohyun, Dohyun was able to analyze it and gain Rush for free without spending AP, so you could say he was lucky.

Getting a skill for free was definitely good.

But having learned Rush, Dohyun couldn’t help feeling a bit aggrieved by Gangjihun’s words.

‘Even if not Rush specifically, I think most people could do something similar if they learned mana manipulation…’

Rush was ultimately a skill that made the body as fast as possible, so it was at a difficulty level where you could do something similar by applying mana manipulation.

That shouldn’t be surprising enough to call someone a crazy monster bastard.

‘Well, whatever. More importantly, what other skill should I choose?’

Anyway, Dohyun left Gangjihun, who didn’t seem like he would correct himself, and didn’t miss the opportunity to still gain a skill.

If gaining Rush was something he got because he barely managed to dodge an attack, what he would get this time was from successfully analyzing the status window.

After briefly examining Gangjihun’s status window and thinking for a moment, he chose a skill.

‘Great, good.’

He considered choosing Dagger Arts, but since it was already about to rise from F-rank to E-rank, he just chose a different skill.

Since it would rise soon anyway, rather than choosing a higher rank, it was better to increase new skills, so he chose Stealth.

But an unexpected message appeared.

‘Huh?’

He wondered if it was some kind of bonus, then more messages appeared afterward.

‘Crazy?’

This was possible too?

Proficiency automatically increasing just from seeing a higher skill—this really had all the elements a god-tier game should have.

As Dohyun blinked, his agility increased and the world felt slower than usual, and he felt his body moving in more detail than before.

Well, it had to be that way.

The total amount of agility he just gained was a whopping 7.

Since it increased by as much agility as Dohyun originally had, it was essentially doubled, so he couldn’t help but feel the difference dramatically.

‘Crazy.’

When Gangjihun called him a crazy monster bastard, he felt a bit aggrieved, but now he had to admit it.

‘I am a crazy monster bastard.’

Dohyun’s feelings changed as easily as flipping his palm, but probably other people would be similar, right?

Or maybe not.

Dohyun thought this while grinning broadly.

Leaving behind Dohyun who now acknowledged himself as a monster, Gangjihun fell into contemplation alone with a quite serious expression.

Although Hwang Hana and Choe Phil had said he was amazing, who would have thought it would be to this extent? He could only be described as an existence beyond specifications.

This wasn’t a matter of genius or anything.

‘Even seeing it, I can’t believe it.’

Could a talent to simply copy a technique seen once without even a manual really exist in this hunter industry—no, throughout all alien races?

A genius far beyond comprehension.

After thinking that far, Gangjihun shook his head and looked toward where the fallen Jiyuchan was.

Honestly, Jiyuchan also seemed to have outstanding talent.

Since he instinctively tried to dodge his own Rush that Dohyun had just used, just that alone showed he was a guy who could be called tremendously talented.

Perhaps he was the appearance of another genius who might surpass Hwang Hana.

But what good was that, when he became classmates with a monster-like existence who far surpassed such geniuses? Would he really be able to grow well?

‘Tsk, poor guy.’

After inwardly consoling Jiyuchan, Gangjihun glanced at him, realized he had no major injuries, and laid him on his side.

Then Team 2 members approached the fallen Jiyuchan.

“In, Instructor, Yuchan oppa is okay, right?”

“Did Yuchan really lose?”

“He didn’t just suddenly collapse, right?”

“Did that person, Lee Dohyun, really win?”

Rather than worrying about Jiyuchan being down, the Team 2 members seemed more unable to believe the fact that he had lost, asking Gangjihun like this. When Gangjihun glared at them as if they were pathetic, they all had no choice but to shut their mouths tight.

‘To think of losing before thinking about Jiyuchan, who could be called the team leader, collapsing. What terrible luck with teammates.’

Gangjihun looked at Jiyuchan with a bit more pity.

Either way, the class wasn’t over yet.

“The sparring isn’t finished yet. Let’s move on to the next match. I couldn’t mention it earlier, but you can choose whatever weapon you want from over there. Since we haven’t distinguished specialties yet, feel free to choose.”

Dohyun and Jiyuchan’s levels seemed higher than the other trainees, so he had them go without weapons for now, but the other trainees were different.

They were all so weak that he needed to see them handle weapons to even gauge their level somewhat.

However, at Gangjihun’s words, everyone gulped nervously.

Of course, they weren’t weapons made of iron but wood, but they couldn’t help hesitating, thinking they might get hurt if hit by even these.

It was a natural reaction for people living in modern times, but an inappropriate reaction for hunters, so just as Gangjihun was about to frown.

“I, I’ll take this one then…”

“Hah, a man needs a spear!”

“I’ll take the longsword.”

“I’ll take… a one-handed sword and shield?”

The members of Team 1, Dohyun’s team, began choosing weapons first.

Seeing Dohyun, who went first, achieve victory seemed to stir something in their hearts as well. Gangjihun unconsciously nodded slightly while watching Team 1.

‘It definitely seems to be having an effect.’

After all, wasn’t Dohyun someone who could be called their leader? When such a Dohyun confidently achieved victory, they couldn’t just cower with their tails between their legs like frightened dogs.

Moreover, even that impressive-looking Jiyuchan had collapsed pathetically, so they felt it wouldn’t matter if they fell too.

Anyway, after Team 1 showed this positive effect and each chose their weapons, Team 2 belatedly moved as well.

“I, I’ll choose too.”

“M-me too…!”

“Ahem, I, I’ll take a sword too…”

“Hmm, then I’ll take a shield…”

The team members of Team 1 and Team 2 hurriedly moved to choose weapons.

Gangjihun casually acknowledged them and continued the sparring by assigning opponents, but only Dohyun looked at his team members with a displeased expression.

‘…Why are they choosing swords with those traits?’

From his position with analysis, it was incredibly frustrating, but since there was no system, his teammates chose weapons they liked.

Yesul Park, who had F-rank warrior traits, should have chosen a mace, shield, or spear, but she chose a longsword.

Yongchan Kim, who had F-rank swordsman traits, should have chosen a sword but picked a spear, and while Guminah, being a mage, matched quite well with a shield and one-handed sword since she hadn’t learned magic yet, Jeongminwoo, who had E-rank assassin traits, was holding a longsword.

Except for Guminah, it was a complete disaster, but at least it was better compared to the opposition.

‘At least the other side has a buffer and mage, so that’s fortunate…’

It couldn’t be helped since there was no system.

They had to go through trial and error, trying various weapons to find ones that suited them, and since all hunters did this, it wasn’t necessarily bad.

But from Dohyun’s perspective, it was so frustrating he could go crazy, so Dohyun pondered for a moment.

‘Should I tell them?’

His teammates were already praising him more than necessary, so he had tried not to show off, but he really couldn’t stand this.

How could he hold back from giving advice when they were so obviously wrong?

Just as the sparring was about to begin, Dohyun stepped forward.

“Wait a moment.”

“…What is it?”

When Dohyun suddenly intervened, Gangjihun asked with subtle wariness.

Dohyun looked at Gangjihun and asked carefully.

“I’d like to give my teammates some tips, is that okay?”

“Tips?”

“Yes.”

“Hmm.”

At Dohyun’s words, Gangjihun looked at Dohyun with a puzzled expression.

From Gangjihun’s perspective, or objectively speaking, Dohyun was indeed a monster beyond genius. But that didn’t mean he could teach others well too.

Even geniuses were dominated by intuitive aspects, so they had limitations in teaching ordinary people.

Still, stepping forward was probably out of consideration for his teammates, wasn’t it?

‘Or it could be arrogance.’

Either way, Gangjihun nodded without much expectation.

“Do as you please.”

Gangjihun honestly didn’t think Dohyun would give any useful tips at all.

The gap between geniuses and ordinary people was as vast as heaven and earth, so there was no way ordinary people could comprehend such teachings.

Hadn’t Gangjihun experienced this himself? That’s why he allowed it.

“Thank you.”

Then Dohyun thanked Gangjihun and approached his teammates, saying this and that.

Gangjihun tried not to pay attention but became curious inside, so he enhanced his hearing to listen carefully to what was being said.

Then.

“Yongchan hyung, you should use a sword rather than a spear. While spears are quite easy and have the advantage of being usable by anyone, looking at your body, your arms are a bit longer than the rest of your body, so considering balance, I think you’d be good with a sword. And Minah, you chose well, so you should continue with shield-focused defense while attacking. And Yesul, since you’re short, rather than a longsword that requires good reach control, it might look a bit crude but a short blunt weapon and shield would look good on you. Block with the shield and endure, then attack heavily with the blunt weapon. Finally, Minwoo, try holding a dagger instead of a longsword. Your movements are fast, so rather than a longsword, a dagger that allows for an out-boxer style would suit you better.”

“…?”

Hearing Dohyun’s rapid-fire explanation, Gangjihun looked at the other team members in disbelief.

The reasoning behind his words was somewhat weak. However, when Gangjihun also looked carefully at the other team members after hearing this, most of what Dohyun said was correct.

The weapons he chose for them also seemed to have quite good compatibility, and his advice fit quite well too. No, even if the reasoning was weak, there wasn’t a single wrong fact.

As if he was speaking while looking at the correct answers.

Seeing this, Gangjihun looked at Dohyun with disbelief.

With an expression that said ‘what the hell is this guy?’

‘Can a beginner give advice like that?’

No matter how exceptional one’s senses were, could they really speak as if looking at an answer sheet?

Gangjihun couldn’t even begin to comprehend what kind of monster this was.

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

“…How did you just give that advice… no, never mind.”

He was about to ask how he did it but stopped himself.

It seemed like he would just say something like “I just gave advice based on what I could see.”

When Gangjihun mumbled vaguely like that, Dohyun tilted his head wondering what was going on, then just let it pass.

And from the perspective of someone who had heard that tip, Gangjihun made a bored expression.

Thus, the sparring resumed.

Gangjihun acted as if he already knew everything, and things proceeded as expected.

The result was Team 1’s complete victory.

“Wow! Crazy! When I changed weapons like Dohyun said, I can use it like it’s part of my body!”

“R-right! At first when you said blunt weapon, I wondered what you meant, but it fits perfectly in my hands!?”

“I’m glad we all won.”

“…Hyung, you’re really the best. I’ll follow you for life.”

“…Haha.”

Team 1 was in a festive mood while Team 2 lay sprawled out dejectedly.

But Team 2’s misfortune didn’t end there.

“Team 1 gets free time and I’ll give Team 2 some training.”

“Uhhhhh.”

“P-please spare us!”

“Y-Yuchan hasn’t woken up yet, so c-could we wait just a little…”

“Sob sob.”

At Gangjihun’s words, the joy and sorrow of Team 1 and Team 2 diverged.
