Justice Guild Healer Yeo Joo Stops S-Rank Berserk Hunter
News Daily | Reporter Kim Sang Geun

During the Guild Cup quarterfinals held on the morning of XX, three S-rank hunters—Sa Ma Young from Sama Guild, Sung Ro Sa from Fantasia Guild, and Yoo Myung Hwa from Dongbaek Guild—experienced berserk phenomena in the Double Dungeon’s Second Zone located within Seoul.
S-rank hunter Yeo Joo from Justice Guild, who was present at the scene, successfully stabilized all three hunters’ berserk states by employing a unique-class purification ability despite the extreme difficulty of calming and subduing the berserk hunters.
During this process, Yeo Joo herself exhibited signs of exhaustion from excessive ability usage. She has since been transported to the Korean Awakener Hospital and is currently receiving treatment. The hospital stated, “She is conscious but requires detailed examination,” and the Awakener Association plans to make an official announcement in the future.
The Association stated regarding this incident, “Yeo Joo’s ability is presumed to be an atypical purification-class skill not included in existing classification systems,” and evaluated it as “an event that opens new possibilities for countermeasures related to berserk states.”
Currently, the Association is conducting analysis of the ability in question alongside investigating the causes of the mass berserk incident that occurred within the Double Dungeon and the conditions for berserk occurrence. They also plan to cooperate with Justice Guild to conduct additional verification regarding the circumstances and scope of the purification ability’s manifestation.

(HOT!)(BEST!) What was that thing that stopped the berserk?!!! | Views: 5,449,856
Did anyone stream the Gwanak Mountain Double Dungeon…?
I’m not the only one who saw Yeo Joo stop the berserk, right???
Does this even make sense???!!?
The Double Dungeon alone was terrifying, but seeing Yoo Myung Hwa and Sung Ro Sa go berserk genuinely scared me
What was that potion?
What was that skill?
At the end, it looked like Sa Ma Young did something with a skill
Or not? Did she give him another potion?
I thought the Double Dungeon was going to explode
And now I’m just left with a million question marks?!?!

Comments
-Comment 1: The Hunter community is in absolute chaos right now;;;
└ It’s not just the community—the entire country is losing it;;;
└ Not just the country—the whole world is going insane;;;
Comment 2: If there’s actually a potion that stops berserk, isn’t that revolutionary?
└ It’s not an “if”—it seems like it actually exists
└ But why wasn’t this revealed until now?
└ Did it appear when she re-awakened as S-rank?
└ Doesn’t seem like it. Someone posted a new thread saying the wristwatch distributed by the Awakener Association activated when a Hunter went berserk. At least the Association knew about it
└ That wristwatch shows addiction rate or something like that
Comment 3: What on earth is going on here???
└ Meanwhile, I heard that Na Yeo-ju’s healer was hospitalized, so I’m worried.

Hunters – [ Free Board ]
Justice Guild recruitment page server crashed;;;
TomCracker | Views: 158456
Everyone was acting so busy
How many people were on it that it crashed? lol
I’m waiting for the server to be fixed so I can apply too;;;
If you can prevent berserk, honestly it’s not just Justice Guild—
even Hako or any new guild would be a must-join

Comments
Comment 1: I got accepted
I never even said I’d pick the second comment, but you’re getting ahead of yourself lol
└ Dude, they can stop berserk—is counting chickens really the problem?
Comment 3: Wait, when did they have this ability?
└ Honestly, shouldn’t an ability like that be public property?
└ That ideology is dangerous;;;
└ But if you can prevent berserk, that’s not wrong either…?

“Yes, this is the Korean Awakener Hospital located in Seoul. This afternoon, it has been confirmed that Yeo Joo, an S-rank Healer belonging to the Justice Guild who quelled the mass berserk incident at the Gwanak Mountain Double Dungeon, is currently receiving treatment here.”
The area outside the hospital building was in turmoil.
It was due to the broadcasting stations continuing their live coverage reports related to Yeo Joo.
However, unlike the chaos outside, the hospital room was silent as a tomb.
In the dim space where only the breathing of deeply sleeping Yeo Joo could be heard, Kang Han sat beside the hospital bed.
His gaze, rigid as a statue without the slightest movement, never left the face of the sleeping Yeo Joo.
After staring intently for a long while, Kang Han carefully extended his hand.
He then placed his own hand over Yeo Joo’s hand resting on the hospital bed.
It was far too small.
“Yeo Joo.”
Kang Han called her name softly, his brow furrowed.
He was angry.
At himself, not at Yeo Joo.
He had never realized how small this person was—someone whose fingertips barely peeked out when covered by his own hand.
She had been his salvation from that very first moment when he walked into the Justice Guild carrying his prize money.
Yeo Joo, who had always seemed infinitely larger and carried everything on her shoulders, was this small.
And he had lived leaning on her, depending on her.
Like a parasitic creature incapable of surviving alone.
What was more despairing was that he would have to continue relying on her to survive in the future.
As long as the dangers of darkness and berserk existed in this world.
Moreover, people like him would only increase in number going forward.
Sa Ma Young and Je Hwa were not enough—many hunters would seek her help.
His gaze, which had been fixed on Yeo Joo’s tightly closed eyes, shifted to their joined hands.
‘Even so, now…’
After losing everything in the Fifth Dungeon Break, the shadow of misfortune that had relentlessly pursued him seemed to have grown slightly fainter.
At least now, he possessed the strength to protect Yeo Joo from danger.
‘I will never let you know sadness.’
It was at that moment Kang Han made such a firm vow.
Click.
With the sound of the door, Director Seo Yu Baek quietly entered the hospital room.
“How is Yeo Joo doing?”
“…The same. She’s sleeping without waking.”
“That’s fortunate. Rest is what she needs right now.”
Seo Yu Baek spoke while placing both hands in the pockets of his white coat.
“I’ve restored all her physical strength, but skills aren’t omnipotent. There will be depleted areas, and for recovery, it’s best to let her sleep like this for a while.”
Kang Han nodded in agreement at those words, and silence fell briefly in the hospital room.
Both men simply gazed at Yeo Joo without speaking.
Just when it seemed the conversation had ended, Seo Yu Baek opened his mouth with a grave voice.
“Today, Yeo Joo didn’t just save the three hunters who had gone berserk.”
Once again, Kang Han simply nodded silently.
If the Double Dungeon had ruptured, no matter how deep within Gwanak Mountain the Gate had opened, the aftermath would surely have claimed many lives.
Moreover, considering how many people a single S-rank Hunter—one who had displayed signs of berserk—saved on a daily basis, she truly deserved to be called a hero.
That was undoubtedly why journalists from every broadcasting station had set up camp outside the Hospital.
‘She’ll love this.’
As I imagined Yeo Joo waking up and laughing at the media coverage saturated with her name and the Justice Guild’s name, warmth finally spread across my face.
But the peace did not last long.
“Director, sir!”
“Kim, you need to keep quiet in a Hospital Room.”
Seo Yu Baek cautioned the Awakener Hospital staff member who had burst through the door.
The man called Kim, though realizing his mistake, could not hide his urgency.
“I apologize! But Director, I think you need to come out for a moment!”
“What’s the matter outside?”
“It’s… something related to Healer Yeo Joo.”
Sensing the staff member’s cautious glance toward me, I felt the unusual atmosphere and rose from my seat.
“Speak.”
Though my tone remained courteous, the aura distinctive of an S-rank and my stern expression drained the color from Kim’s face.
I could already envision the reactions of the two of them upon hearing the news.
“Outside… that is, on the first floor of the Hospital, there are people from the government looking for Healer Yeo Joo.”
“The government?”
Seo Yu Baek’s brow furrowed in rare confusion.
“Why would the government be looking for Yeo Joo?”
“I’m not sure… but the atmosphere felt rather intimidating….”
At Kim’s final words, I, having tucked the blanket carefully up to Yeo Joo’s neck, asked:
“Where on the first floor are these people from the government?”

* * *

Kang Han’s eyes sharpened as he led Kim down to the lower floor.
He’d expected only a couple of suited government officials, but seven people stood in the first-floor lobby.
Indifferent to the furtive glances of passing patients and hospital staff, they surveyed their surroundings with remarkable composure.
A middle-aged woman who appeared to have the most experience noticed Kang Han approaching first.
Her gaze swept downward from top to bottom, finally settling on the military boots he habitually wore.
“I heard you came to find the Healer Yeo Joo. I’m Kang Han, Guild Master of the Justice Guild.”
“Nice to meet you. I can’t disclose my affiliation, but here’s who I am.”
Kang Han examined the business card handed to him and swallowed a sigh.
No affiliation or logo to identify her—just the name Yoo Se Ran and a phone number.
He knew the type of people who used such cards.
“You’re from the military.”
“Oh, you can tell right away?”
Her smile, though cordial, cut at the fact that Kang Han had once been a promising soldier but became a civilian again after his awakening, inheriting the Justice Guild.
He was well aware that they regarded him as a kind of traitor.
The military had its own units where awakeners were gathered.
These people standing before him now were from those ranks.
“It’s such a waste. Your former superiors always spoke highly of you.”
“As a hunter, I’m fulfilling my own sense of duty, so I have no regrets about leaving the military.”
“Is that so? But now we’re entangled again—what to do about that.”
“I’d appreciate it if you’d tell me why you’re looking for the Healer Yeo Joo.”
At Kang Han’s words, Yoo Se Ran chuckled and spoke.
“I’ve received orders to secure the Healer Yeo Joo’s conscription into the military, effective immediately. I trust you’ll cooperate. I’d rather not fight with a former colleague.”
