Chapter 44
Next to the corpse of Uradon, 2 horns had dropped.
Jung Hoon ate one horn.
Once you eat one, the other turns red, meaning it cannot be consumed.
So that one had to be eaten by another party member.
“Hey, catch.”
Ha Jin, who had eaten the horn, initiated a trade and handed that horn to Jung Hoon.
“Thanks.”
With this, he had fulfilled the Quest requirements.
“Don’t mention it. But didn’t that end too quickly?”
The time spent on subjugation was 27 minutes.
For something with increased difficulty, it was a disappointingly easy battle.
“Right. For something we waited over ten days for, it was pretty anticlimactic.”
Despite his words, Jung Hoon’s expression was full of smiles.
During the waiting period, he had focused on leveling up and reached 51, so he had met the conditions to reach the opportunity as soon as he completed the Quest.
In his mind, plans for after entering the Magic Tower were already being formed.
However, those plans got twisted before they could even begin.
In front of the dungeon, a woman in her early twenties was looking at Jung Hoon with a sly grin.
* * *
Yeo Min Ji had developed a new habit.
Checking Welcome’s posts every hour.
‘I will definitely find you.’
The reason she was scrutinizing Welcome with fire in her eyes was all because of that one Martial Artist.
She had been just one step away from finding him by timing it with his class change Quest, but he immediately used a portal to escape and she missed him.
Was that why?
The Fist Technique was one thing, but feeling completely fooled, her stubborn pride had been triggered.
If she didn’t find him, she felt like she wouldn’t be able to shake off this unpleasant feeling.
“Huh?”
Then one post caught her eye.
[Saw that Martial Artist who defeated the Instructor.]
Yes! He appeared!
Yeo Min Ji hurriedly tapped on the post.
-He was really fucking amazing. Damn
The content was brief, but what mattered was that they had found that Martial Artist.
She hurriedly left a comment.
└Where did you see that Martial Artist by any chance?
Please respond.
Did her earnest wish reach the post author?
Fortunately, a reply came quickly.
└Author here. Saw him in the Eastern Edenhark Region. It’s not a lie so believe me.
└Eastern Edenhark Region?
└Yeah seemed like he was doing the Uradon Quest.
└You’re not lying?
└No no I swear on my parents it’s not.
└If you’re lying your parents disappear from this world ok?
└Look at this attitude? Yeah, I’m not lying ㅡㅡ
So he went to Edenhark.
If he was hunting Uradon, that meant he had raised his level considerably.
If he was willing to swear on his parents, it was at least not a lie.
Yeo Min Ji hurriedly entered her capsule and logged in.
Her avatar appeared in the guild building.
“Huh? Miss, didn’t you say you were taking a break today?”
Park In Tae, who had been handling business, approached at her appearance.
“I found him!”
“What? The Martial Artist?”
Even without a subject, Park In Tae quickly caught on.
That was because after returning from the Hall of Combat Arts, her pride had been triggered and she had been frantically searching for traces of that Martial Artist.
“Yes. I need to go right now.”
Yeo Min Ji hurriedly departed.
Her destination was the ‘Land of Withered Flames’ in the Eastern Edenhark Region.
Fortunately, when she arrived, a dungeon subjugation was in progress.
“Yeo Min Ji…?”
Users who recognized her widened their eyes.
Korea’s Martial Artist ranking 1st place and an executive of Hoyoung Guild.
It hadn’t been long since named players including Lee Hwa Rang had returned, and now another named player was appearing.
“Wow… this is amazing.”
“But why is she standing in front of that dungeon? Don’t tell me she made a reservation?”
“Huh? Aren’t we the ones with the next reservation?”
Users who had visited the dungeon entrance for the next subjugation tilted their heads in confusion.
“Sorry. There’s someone waiting for a moment.”
She hurriedly asked for their understanding and waited near the entrance.
“Someone waiting?”
“Who is that?”
the dungeon entrance opened, proving that the subjugation had ended.
As if to prove that the subjugation was complete, the dungeon entrance opened.
And the low-ranking martial artist that Yeo Min-ji had been waiting for poked his head out.
===
[Player Information]
-Nickname: Hoon
-Level: 51
-Occupation: Low-rank Warrior (1st Class)
===
A low-rank martial artist, I’ve finally found one.
“Huh? Isn’t that Yeo Minji?”
After looking over her information, Hajin whispered quietly to Jeonghun.
“That’s right.”
At the same time, he felt curious.
Jeonghun nodded with a nonchalant expression.
At the same time, I became curious.
He knew that Yeo Min-ji was looking for him, but how could she time it so perfectly to run into him right in front of the dungeon?
The gang that had picked a fight with him before entering the dungeon.
If those guys had posted on Welcome, it wouldn’t have been impossible for Yeo Min Ji to find out about this location.
“Excuse me, hello?”
Yeo Min Ji approached Jung Hoon.
===
[Player Information]
-Nickname: Minzi
===
-Class: Fist Technique Master (4th tier)
===
Fist Technique Master 4th tier.
It was fitting for her, who shone as South Korea’s Martial Artist ranking 1st place.
===
“What can I do for you?”
Jung Hoon wasn’t completely uninterested in her either.
The cause was that all the core members of Hoyoung Guild had gone missing when New World became reality.
What on earth had happened?
“I’m really sorry for suddenly coming to find you. Please be assured that I absolutely didn’t do anything like stalking.”
Jeonghun wasn’t entirely uninterested in her either.
The Hoyoung Guild, which had been closely pursuing the legend established by Sword King Sa Jae-hyuk as a named guild of South Korea, collapsed in a short period of time.
When Jung Hoon openly made an incredulous expression, Yeo Min Ji coughed awkwardly and averted her gaze.
“That… you’re the Martial Artist from the video posted on Welcome, right? The Martial Artist who achieved victory in sparring against Instructor Altio.”
It seemed she had decided to brazenly put on a thick face about this situation.
“What if I said no?”
No, if this isn’t stalking, then what is it?
When Jeonghun openly made an incredulous expression, Yeo Minji cleared her throat awkwardly and averted her gaze.
“Um… you’re the fighter from the video posted on Welcome, right? The fighter who won against Instructor Altio in that sparring match.”
Since it’s come to this, it seems like he’s decided to be completely shameless.
However, Jung Hoon twisted his body and lightly dodged the punch.
It was a sensation honed through countless real battles.
“As expected…”
0.1%
Of course, if he hadn’t been able to react, she had planned to stop in front of him, but she clearly saw Jung Hoon’s eyes.
So even though she had thrown the punch prepared to log him out, the result was a complete miss.
However, Jeonghun twisted his body and easily dodged the punch.
Because even though it wasn’t visible to the eye, I predicted the attack through her step patterns.
It was a sensation honed through countless real battles.
“As expected….”
I threw a punch to gain certainty, as I had a feeling it might not be the case.
Of course, she had planned to stop in front of him if he didn’t react, but she looked straight into Jeonghun’s eyes.
Jeong-hoon had his steps down perfectly.
So I threw a punch with the resolve to log him out, but the result was a spectacular miss.
“Excuse me! How can you suddenly attack like that?!”
When Ha Jin shouted with a flustered face, she quickly bent at the waist.
“I’m sorry! It seemed like you would keep making excuses…”
She knew it was rude.
But it seemed like there would be no progress with just words, so it was an unavoidable choice.
She couldn’t think of any other good methods either…
“That’s enough. So what’s the reason you came looking for me?”
Jung Hoon asked with an indifferent expression.
Since he had no particular feelings for Yeo Min Ji in the first place, he could let this much slide.
“…Please become my master!”
“What?”
Jung Hoon furrowed his brow at the unexpected request.
He naturally thought she would propose joining Hoyeong.
“I fell in love with Hoon’s fist technique. I won’t ask how you obtained that fist technique. I just hope you could teach that fist technique to me as well.”
Yeo Min Ji was someone completely obsessed with fist techniques.
Going to the Hall of Combat Arts, searching through Welcome countless times, and coming here so boldly to commit this rudeness – it was all because of that fist technique.
“…I’m only level 51 right now though.”
“If level 51 can perform like that, you’re definitely a monster.”
Ha Jin unconsciously muttered.
“What does level matter?”
Yeo Min Ji tilted her head.
At her reaction that level didn’t matter at all, Jung Hoon smiled slightly.
‘It’s like seeing my past self.’
Before his regression, Jung Hoon had also changed to Martial Artist and tried to learn anything.
Of course, it wasn’t for a pure purpose like hers, but with the purpose of ending that damned game.
Anyway, it seemed like he could see his past self reflected slightly.
‘Even so, she won’t be able to master the Myeongwang Fist Technique.’
Even if Strong Will reacted, it would probably create a derivative of the Myeongwang Fist Technique.
It wasn’t a Legendary grade fist technique for nothing.
To reproduce the Myeongwang Fist Technique, Strong Will would need to be at least Legendary grade or higher.
“I refuse.”
So the answer was already decided.
There was no reason to invest time in Yeo Min Ji.
“I, I’ll definitely provide proper compensation!”
“As you may have noticed, the fist technique I learned was obtained through a fateful encounter. It means there are clear limits to learning it with Strong Will.”
“…”
“So I’ll politely decline that proposal just now. Let’s go.”
Leaving her standing there in a daze, Jung Hoon left the Field with Ha Jin.
* * *
Yeo Min Ji was persistent.
Coming to her senses, she followed closely behind Jung Hoon.
‘Wait a moment! Then please at least add me as a friend!’
‘…If it’s just that much.’
Only after Jung Hoon accepted the friend request did she leave with peace of mind.
“Did she really give up?”
Ha Jin tilted his head.
He couldn’t believe that she, who had been following them so persistently, backed down with just a friend request.
“No, she’ll come again soon.”
Jung Hoon had some understanding of that type of person.
When someone obsessed with one field becomes curious about that field, they have to resolve it somehow to be satisfied.
She would definitely try to approach using other methods.
“…Anyway, I’m logging off.”
“Alright.”
Ha Jin logged out, and Jung Hoon headed to his destination, the Magic Tower.
“Hm? You’re back already?”
Rune, who was guarding the Magic Tower, widened his eyes when he saw Jung Hoon.
Had he already obtained the materials that Jaiko, a senior of the Magic Tower, had requested?
“Yes.”
“Wa, wait a moment.”
Rune took out a crystal orb and sent a signal somewhere.
Not long after, Jaiko appeared.
An exclamation mark was sparkling above his head.
“You brought it already?”
Jaiko also seemed flustered by the earlier than expected return.
“Yes.”
Jung Hoon handed over the 2 Uradon’s Horns from his inventory to Jaiko.
Jaiko nodded after confirming the horns.
“That’s correct. I’ll engrave the mark here for you. With this mark, you’ll be able to freely enter and exit the Magic Tower.”
With those words, a very small Diamond Mark was engraved on the back of Jung Hoon’s hand.
[You have completed the Quest.]
[Magic Tower entry restrictions have been lifted.]
Done.
Now he could enter and exit the Magic Tower.
For now, he could only access the beginner mage’s Magic Tower including the Martial Artist’s Tower, but having this mark would make it much easier to receive quests from other Magic Towers in the future.
“Thank you.”
“Yes. Would you like to enter now?”
[Would you like to start NPC Jaiko’s guidance?]
No.
He wasn’t interested in the interior of the Magic Tower.
His purpose was solely to find the hidden opportunity in this Magic Tower.
Jung Hoon refused without hesitation.
“I’ll look around leisurely by myself.”
“Hmm…”
Jaiko pondered for a moment.
Would it be alright to leave a foreigner entering the Magic Tower for the first time alone?
‘Allow maximum freedom to foreigners who meet the conditions.’
If it weren’t for the Magic Tower Master’s words, he would have easily dismissed it.
“Understood. Then please look around comfortably.”
With those words, Jaiko’s figure scattered and disappeared.
“Y-you may pass through.”
With Jaiko’s permission given, Rune no longer had any justification to stop him.
“Yes.”
Jung Hoon entered the Magic Tower with leisurely steps.
