Chapter 75

Hoyeong recruited a Martial Artist with a Hidden Class!

As this news spread like wildfire, the guilds that were planning operations to recruit the Martial Artist found their efforts ended before they even began.

“Damn it! Hoyeong found him.”

“That damn Martial Artist… he always goes around with his profile set to private, how could we possibly find him.”

From the Capsule event to the Hidden Class that appeared on the South Korea Server, then the 2nd Job Advancement, and even the siege war.

They were certain.

That the Martial Artist was the same person in all cases.

Otherwise, there’s no way that Yeo Min Ji, called the fist technique fanatic, would have participated in the siege war event.

“How on earth did Hoyeong find out?”

“That’s what I’m saying…”

Of all guilds, it had to be Hoyeong.

Especially Yeo Min Ji, who was obsessed with fist techniques, was famous for having absolutely no interest in recruiting talent despite being an executive.

And she had made her move.

She must have brought him over by offering an outrageous amount of money.

“Let’s just give up…”

“Ha, this is really disappointing.”

No matter how much they said Martial Artist was trash, if he showed that level of performance, he was different from the start.

They deeply regretted missing out on such a super-elite prospect.

The same was true for Mythology Guild.

Lee Hwa Rang and Park Jin Hyeok were having a heated conversation about that Martial Artist.

“Is that really true?! The Martial Artist used a bow?”

Lee Hwa Rang’s eyes gleamed fiercely.

Park Jin Hyeok, sitting across from him, nodded.

“Yeah. That’s what the users who participated in the siege war event said.”

“…What did the bow look like?”

“They don’t know the exact appearance, but they said it was gray?”

“Really? Then it’s not it. Shit!”

The Red Dragon Bone Bow was a bow with a red bone frame and the head of a Red Dragon carved into it.

He thought he might have found a clue, but it wasn’t the case after all.

“Anyway, the guild master seems disappointed too. A Martial Artist of that level would be talent suitable for Mythology Guild.”

The fact that he single-handedly defeated a Lv.175 Dragonia that had used Breath and even Annihilation while being adjusted to Lv.150.

This meant that the Martial Artist had a skill that could neutralize Annihilation.

In other words, he was the first Hidden Class to appear on the South Korea Server.

“That would make sense. A Martial Artist using a bow… it means there’s something that allows him to handle skills from other classes.”

Hidden Classes were extremely diverse and their performance was outstanding.

So it wasn’t an impossible story.

Of course, he couldn’t be certain.

There was currently no information about the Martial Artist’s Hidden Class at all.

Park Jin Hyeok let out a brief exclamation of admiration.

“Oh, that’s a good approach? You were thinking about Strong Will?”

“Yeah.”

Lee Hwa Rang made such an assumption because of the passive skill provided to Martial Artists.

“Certainly… if that’s the case, it could be a Hidden Class related to Strong Will.”

Strong Will.

It was one of the skills branded as essentially useless and didn’t even receive attention.

But what if a Hidden Class was related to such Strong Will?

It would surely cause a sensation in New World.

“That’s probably why the guild master is disappointed. Of all people, it had to be Hoyeong who took the talent.”

Hoyeong was positioned below Mythology, but it wasn’t a guild that could be ignored.

If they tried to steal talent that such a guild had acquired, they had to consider the possibility of war breaking out.

So Mythology had no choice but to give up.

* * *

“This should prevent other guilds from approaching.”

Yeo Min Ji made a V sign with her fingers.

“Yes.”

Even he thought the performance he showed in the event was abnormal.

Especially in the last Wave, he had defeated the Dragonia single-handedly despite many eyes watching.

He never expected Ling Ling to appear and deal damage to users, then send out the Dragonia.

The moment the stronghold was destroyed, he would repeat the past, so it was an unavoidable choice.

“Then shall we get started?”

Yeo Min Ji stood in front of Jung Hoon with a face full of anticipation.

The place where the two were located was the Training Ground.

Only guild members who joined Hoyeong could use it, and since Jung Hoon had become a member of Hoyeong, he could enter.

“Let’s do that.”

However, he could feel countless guild members positioned not far away, watching them.

Since he was the Martial Artist she had personally brought and rumors were circulating that he was the first Martial Artist to obtain a Hidden Class, they couldn’t contain their curiosity and came in.

“Should I go chase them away?”

Yeo Min Ji, noticing Jung Hoon glancing in that direction once, tactfully asked.

“Yes. And I have one favor to ask. From now on, during fist technique training sessions, please make it appear as if Min Ji is teaching me.”

This current situation was, after all, him coaching her on areas where she was lacking.

Moreover, she was the nation’s number one ranked Martial Artist.

How could it look normal for someone to be teaching such a Martial Artist?

“Understood.”

Understanding Jung Hoon’s meaning, Yeo Min Ji sent the guild members out of the training ground.

With this, only Jung Hoon and Yeo Min Ji remained in the training ground.

“Now then, before we begin, let me see your fist technique once. Please only use Wind Fist for skills.”

Jung Hoon gestured with his chin toward the scarecrow in front of them.

The scarecrow’s level was 300.

And its health and defense had been abnormally boosted so it could withstand her performing fist techniques dozens of times.

“Yes.”

Yeo Min Ji took her stance.

Then she deployed her Movement Technique to get close to the scarecrow and began performing her fist technique.

Initially, she mixed Normal Attacks with Wind Fist to deal damage.

Jung Hoon quietly observed the scene.

[Wind Fist 2nd Form]

Once a certain amount of damage and combo had accumulated, Wind Fist advanced by one stage.

Wind Fist consisted of a total of 7 forms, with the 1st form being only at the level of other classes’ 2nd tier Combat Skills.

However, the power increased as it progressed to the 2nd form.

Afterward, it continued through the 3rd, 4th, and 5th forms before Wind Fist concluded.

“Phew, finished.”

Currently, the 5th form was the limit of Wind Fist that Yeo Min Ji could perform.

To chain up to the final 7th form, she would need to reach level 400 and complete her 5th class advancement.

“There are many openings.”

Jung Hoon simply pointed out her problems.

Since she had no choice but to focus on striking, it was natural for her stance to collapse.

Taking care of everything was nearly impossible due to the nature of Martial Artist skills.

[Buff Martial Artist you fucking bastards]

-Are you kidding me? To activate the 3rd tier core skill, you need to build up damage and combos with basic attacks. What kind of bullshit is this? This is fucking ridiculous ㅡㅡ

└You screwed up lol Who told you to pick that?

└We told you not to do it but you stubbornly went ahead, serves you right lol

└This game was always a balance disaster lol You should’ve raised something efficient

└Idiot tsk tsk martial artists are trash worse than idiots later on, why even bother lol

└That’s pretty harsh language above lol

Even when calling for Martial Artist buffs, Earth blatantly ignored them, and users were busy mocking.

That was the current evaluation of Martial Artists.

“If I don’t do it this way, the damage doesn’t build up.”

She concentrated mana into her fist and exploded the condensed mana upon impact to build up damage.

At this moment, her center of gravity shifted forward, exposing openings.

Yeo Min Ji knew this and covered it with equipment stats, but that too was probably reaching its limit.

“You’re obsessed with dealing damage. There’s a way to deal explosive damage without necessarily doing that.”

“What?”

“Martial Artists have a Passive. Critical Hit.”

“Critical Hit?”

She tilted her head.

It was a basic Passive Skill that only Martial Artists possessed, but since it wasn’t displayed, most users didn’t know about it.

Jung Hoon was a lucky case who discovered it, so it was understandable that she didn’t know.

“It’s a Passive Skill where damage explosively increases when you hit the same area with Consecutive Hits. Min Ji, you also have that Passive Skill.”

“…What? Is that really true?”

Her suspicion was natural.

The nation’s number one ranked Martial Artist.

How could there be a Passive Skill that someone like her didn’t know about?

However, as time passed, her face gradually filled with shock.

* * *

At that time.

Most of Hoyeong’s guild members had been kicked out of the training ground and returned to their original positions.

However, a few couldn’t give up their lingering attachment and were hovering around the area.

They were trying to somehow peek inside the training ground.

But Yeo Min Ji, who had kicked everyone out, had locked the entire training ground, making even sneaking a peek impossible.

“I’m dying of curiosity. Really.”

“Since the young lady brought him, he must have abilities, right?”

“Hey, don’t you know? That’s a Hidden Class Martial Artist.”

“Really?”

“That’s what I’m saying. I heard the young lady actively asked the guild master for help. She said we had to bring that Martial Artist no matter what.”

“Wow… His level looked like 104 and appeared to be normal grade though.”

“It’s blinded.”

While they were whispering among themselves, the locked training ground door opened.

Jung Hoon came out and made eye contact with them.

“Hmm? What are you doing here?”

When Jung Hoon tilted his head, the guild members laughed awkwardly.

“Haha… It’s nothing.”

“We were just resting here.”

It was a poor excuse, but Jung Hoon didn’t mind and nodded before continuing on his way.

“I see.”

After he disappeared, the guild members cautiously peered inside the training ground.

Yeo Min Ji was sitting on a bench with a dazed expression.

“M-Miss?!”

The guild members were greatly flustered by her absent-minded appearance.

However, they couldn’t easily enter the training ground.

“What on earth happened?”

“I don’t know…”

“Should we go back…?”

“Let’s do that…”

It wasn’t the right time to interfere.

They tried to leave tactfully.

“One of you come here for a moment.”

Just then, an eerie voice came from inside the training ground.

One of the guild members hurriedly entered the training ground.

“Miss, what’s wrong?!”

Yeo Min Ji slowly stood up and pointed to the training ground.

“Sorry, but could you spar with me?”

“Spar…?”

The guild member asked back with a surprised face at her request.

Why would she, the number one ranked martial artist in the country and an executive, ask him to spar?

It seemed like she was giving punishment for not following the order to leave the training ground.

“I have something to test. I won’t use any skills.”

“Uh… You won’t use skills?”

“Yes. Additionally, I won’t wear knuckles either.”

Wouldn’t this be manageable?

His current level was 210.

Although there was a level difference of over 100 between him and her, if she wasn’t wearing weapons and wouldn’t use skills, it would be a sufficiently doable spar.

“Understood!”

And three hours later, he regretted the answer he had given.

“Let’s go again.”

“M-Miss… Can’t we stop now?”

“That won’t do. If you had left when I told you to leave the training ground, this wouldn’t have happened, right?”

“…”

Please spare me…

* * *

‘Should I head to the Martial Tower soon?’

Among the several towers located north of Autoban, the Martial Tower was in the deepest location.

The Martial Tower was called the Holy Land of Martial Artists and was a place he absolutely had to visit.

Of course, waiting for Mother to finish her game came first.

Whoosh-

The capsule opened and Mother came out.

Since she wasn’t familiar with games, Mother seemed a bit awkward.

“Are you finished?”

“Yes. But this is really amazing…”

Lee Na Yeon had marveled at New World’s technology countless times.

She understood why her son had become so absorbed in the game.

“What class did you choose?”

Jung Hoon hoped Mother would choose an efficient class and had written a comment in his notebook recommending Mage.

With his knowledge of the future, he would help Mother grow as a Mage as much as possible.

‘Mage would be quite efficient.’

Warrior required physical prowess, so it might be a bit difficult for Mother, who had no knowledge of games, to adapt.

And Archer also required bow proficiency, so she would need to practice shooting arrows diligently at the Archery Hall in Primordial Village until the first job advancement.

Only then could she obtain Archery Mastery at the first job advancement and finally become useful.

Rogue wasn’t bad either, but from Mother’s perspective, Mage seemed like the best choice as it offered various paths and relatively comfortable combat.

“Gunner.”

But Mother’s answer completely missed Jung Hoon’s expectations.

“Excuse me? Gunner…?”
