Chapter 90
90: Rewards and Status After the Calamity (2)
As I regained consciousness and opened my eyes, the familiar ceiling of the Dormitory came into view. Dohyun quickly gathered his senses and pushed himself up on the bed.
Though my body felt a bit sore, stretching right there helped ease the discomfort somewhat.
“Uuuuuh.”
As I stretched and made that sound, Jiyuchan and Hanalin, who had been sleeping on either side, unconsciously woke to the noise.
Hanalin rubbed her eyes and pushed herself up, while Jiyuchan stretched much like I did and rose.
“G-good morning.”
“Uuuuh.”
Watching Hanalin greet me drowsily and Jiyuchan greet me with a stretch, I chuckled softly, then was the first to get out of bed and head to the Bathroom to wash up.
Next came the diligent Hanalin, and after her was Jiyuchan.
My routine at this Dormitory was simple: wake up in the morning, wash like this, head outside, and eat breakfast.
After that, whether I trained or went hunting didn’t matter—I always made sure to eat breakfast. And I wasn’t the only one who did this.
Hanalin did the same, and Jiyuchan also made sure to eat breakfast, so I waited for the two of them to finish washing. As the Dohyun Party all emerged from the Dormitory room together, we could sense the atmosphere was somewhat unusual.
“Haha, what a relief, what a relief!”
“Man, I wish I’d participated too.”
“Right? The Heterogeneous Beings active in the First Luminous Realm really are different!”
“You mean the Bruton Party? Well, the Coleon Species is certainly an incredible race.”
The atmosphere was far more excited than usual in the Dormitory.
Given what happened yesterday, Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan thought it reasonable and didn’t think much of it. As we headed to the Dining Hall to eat breakfast, several Hunters greeted us.
“Oh! Isn’t this Minwoo’s party? When did you get back? You left not long ago, didn’t you?”
“Wow, it’s really you!?”
“Minwoo, you came back late yesterday and went straight to sleep, right?”
Because of my training, this D-Grade Dormitory had begun to change, so everyone staying here or who had stayed here knew who I was.
Since they greeted me like this every morning, I was accustomed to the considerable attention and nodded naturally.
“Yes, I came back yesterday.”
“Ah! Then you wouldn’t know about it!”
“You know the Zone Boss, right?”
“Krkk, apparently it was caught in front of our Safe Zone yesterday!”
“The Bruton Party, a capable party active in the First Luminous Realm, stepped forward as the Attack Party commander and caught it!”
“Haha… I see.”
“…Haha.”
“…Ha.”
The entire Dohyun Party laughed somewhat awkwardly at that story.
They all shared what they’d heard, but since the Dohyun Party had been directly at that scene yesterday, we didn’t know how to react and just laughed awkwardly in response.
When the Dohyun Party showed little interest, they didn’t push further.
They weren’t people without tact, after all.
Since I often showed disinterest in stories like these, they just chattered among themselves.
As the Dohyun Party, relieved, grabbed a table and ate moderately, the adjacent table also began to talk.
“Bruton will probably rise to A-rank, won’t he?”
“Phew, we need to step up our game too.”
“How in the world did they defeat a Zone Boss that consumed two Safe Zones?”
As such rumors spread throughout the Dining Hall, Dohyun simply let them pass, while Hanalin ate with a subtle smile, clearly pleased deep down.
Jiyuchan, somewhat embarrassed, blushed and pretended not to hear as he listened to all the chatter.
Since the Dohyun Party had earned the greatest credit for genuinely defeating the Zone Boss, the praise being offered now was essentially directed at them.
Jiyuchan had every reason to feel awkward.
Then, at that moment.
“Hey, but listen to this.”
“What is it?”
“What’s going on?”
“I went to the Proprietor earlier to buy something, and today he was unusually kind. I was about to ask why, but I held back for fear of being ignored. That’s when he told me he didn’t know there was such a strong Human Party.”
“What do you mean by that?”
At those words, the Dohyun Party all stopped their spoons with a sharp clink.
As they leaned in to listen to what came next, the Hunter continued.
“So I asked him what he meant, and he frowned slightly before saying the rumors were slow to spread. He told me that one of our Human Parties was the hero of this subjugation???”
“Not Bruton?”
“What?”
“So I asked him—’Not Bruton?’—and he said there’s a human that even Bruton acknowledges. According to the rumors, Bruton even handed over command to this person, who led the entire operation?”
“A Human Party???”
“How is that possible?”
“Yeah, at first I thought it might be Minwoo’s Party, but apparently not. The name was Doyeon? Or Dohyun? Something like that.”
Having heard this much, the Dohyun Party exchanged glances and felt relieved that at least it wasn’t worse.
And only then could they recall that they had mentioned the name Dohyun to Bruton.
It was an accident that had occurred because Jiyuchan had accidentally called out Dohyun’s name correctly. Jiyuchan looked at Dohyun with an apologetic expression. Dohyun had created a sound barrier using ultrasonic waves and magic, preventing sound from leaking out while allowing them to hear the surrounding noise.
“Hmm, should we keep a low profile for a while?”
“Yeah, I think we should.”
“We haven’t done anything wrong, but our cover identity could be exposed, so it’s better to be cautious.”
Jiyuchan and Hanalin responded to Dohyun’s words.
In truth, since everything being said was praise, there was no real harm in revealing themselves, but since their cover identity could potentially be compromised, it was better to be careful.
Han Muyeol had specifically instructed them not to expose their cover identity.
Then, as if suddenly recalling something, a few Parties spoke up.
“Huh? Dohyun? Isn’t that a Korean name?”
“Right? Chinese would have a different pronunciation.”
“Wait, hold on. Dohyun, you said?”
As the Dohyun Party listened again, the concern they had been dreading came to pass.
“A few days ago, there was a Party Leader named Dohyun from an E-rank Party who wiped out an Elf Party and cleared the Dungeon?”
“Oh! I think I’ve heard about that! Isn’t that the Party that was selling Dwarven weapons?”
“Wait, did that Party already get promoted and is now active in the D-rank Zone?”
“That’s an incredible pace!”
“Plus, they said that Party belongs to our Association.”
The Dohyun Party sat in silence like criminals caught in an ever-tightening dragnet, unable to breathe as they listened to the news.
Though they wondered what to do now, who could possibly discover that Dohyun was Minwoo?
Dohyun spoke while looking at Hanalin and Jiyuchan.
“We need to be more careful from now on.”
“…Okay.”
“…Sorry, I’ll be more careful.”
The two responded to Dohyun’s words and nodded their heads.
Since they had worked hard yesterday, they decided to rest at the Dormitory today rather than train. They agreed to spend the day together indoors.
If they wandered outside and ran into those who had participated in the Attack Team yesterday, who knew what would happen? Rumors were spreading everywhere, and their cover identities could be exposed, so they decided to spend today only in the Dormitory.
* * *
While the Dohyun Party rested, rumors in Sector 53 Corridor were swelling and spreading further throughout the area.
Rumors that a Human Party was so incredibly strong.
“A Human Party that strong?”
“Those inferior beings?”
“Hmm, I’m not sure.”
“I’d need to see such humans for myself.”
However, as with most rumors at first, not many believed it.
They thought it impossible that humans, an inferior species they had long dismissed, could have accomplished such feats.
But soon, as testimonies poured in from the parties who had participated in the Attack Team before their promotion, the reactions of the Heterogeneous Beings began to shift gradually.
“But a Human Party that even Bruton acknowledged?”
“When I asked Bruton himself, it was true.”
“It’s not just Bruton. I asked other parties who participated in the Attack Team, and they confirmed it was true.”
And naturally, the rumor spread through each Safe Zone by word of mouth, and eventually other Heterogeneous Beings began to shift their perception of humans little by little.
Only slightly, but in the direction that inferior species could still produce strong parties.
Four Heterogeneous Beings sitting at a table in a Dining Hall were taking interest in these spreading rumors.
A Birdman with a raven-like appearance, a peculiar-looking Heterogeneous Being resembling a wooden puppet, a tree-like Heterogeneous Being, and finally a woman who resembled a serpent but had much of human form mixed in—these four were chattering away as they listened to the story.
“So there’s a Human Party strong enough to be promoted soon…”
“Puhahahaha! Interesting fellows.”
“A Human Party that strong?”
“Fascinating. They might be worth hunting.”
Even as they spoke such words, their posture remained perfectly composed. To any observer, one could feel the ominous and corrupt aura that bound them.
All four bore the same mark, and people at nearby tables gradually abandoned their seats one by one.
They knew exactly what that mark meant.
Spending time in the Black Gate, one often encounters those marked as Subordinates, and seeing that all four members of this party bore the Subordinate mark, people vacated their tables one by one.
Still, the four paid no particular attention and continued their conversation.
“I hope we can meet them after advancing to C-rank. Such a strong inferior species party.”
“We’re already marked as Subordinates, so waiting is foolish.”
“That idiot Scarecrow reduced our party numbers with his personal activities.”
“Let’s advance here and wait for them in the next rank.”
Speaking of anticipating the next opportunity, the Villains smacked their lips in frustration.
And the snake birdwoman who had been sipping tea let out a chuckle and spoke.
“Gallaclro seems to be dead, and catching the culprit looks difficult anyway, so let’s leave as well. Finding suitable allies in our dimension is hard to come by. It’s a shame, but there’s nothing we can do about it.”
At the woman’s words, the other three nodded and rose from their seats.
The party that Galarkro Headricks had belonged to—a party composed entirely of villains—departed from the D-rank Zone.
They looked forward to meeting that formidable human party again in the next C-rank.
“While we’re at it, let’s head to where the humans gather. That should be entertaining.”
