Episode 40
“How strong has it become?”
Sihyeon muttered while looking at the stat window.
First of all, I succeeded in getting all of my stats over 160 except for horsepower.
But more than anything, it was important to have two more active skills that did not consume magic power.
In fact, the sorrow of the Muskill Hunter is now a thing of the past. Coincidentally, there was a D-class gate raid this weekend, and another quest appeared.
It was a great opportunity to test your skills. Yelling was natural, and he had never even shown a guild member any fighting skills. After gaining the skill, he skipped raids for various reasons, including personal reasons, and there were no situations in which he could particularly use it.
However, after looking at the quest, it seemed like I had no choice but to use it.
[Poseungjul is not only a tool for using the art of holding a gun, but it is also a tool that can strangle an opponent. Poahim wants to see you use the rope to strangle a strong enemy.]
[Quest: Strangle the boss monster with a rope. 0/1]
‘But this… .’
Boss monsters usually have very large bodies. There were many boss monsters with very thick necks. Moreover, the boss monster is the party members’ joint prey, so I don’t know how many chances there will be to approach it and strangle it with a rope.
‘Well, if you think about it carefully, there might be a way.’
I decided to think positively.
“I should watch the broadcast.”
Sihyeon turned on the TV.
I took a day off to watch the live broadcast. Because 6 o’clock was the broadcast time, I couldn’t get home from work by that time. However, when viewing it on a smartphone, the screen is too small to be enjoyable.
This time I didn’t tell my family or friends. If you ask how you have such extraordinary skills, it will be a headache.
Actually, I was curious. Are all shouting skills like Lion’s Roar capable of stunning and catching fish? I don’t know, but I’m probably the first person to use the shouting skill. So even hunters with that skill won’t know for sure whether it will work or not.
“It’s starting.”
Sihyeon focused on the screen.
◈ ◈ ◈
“….”
I felt my hands and feet shrinking, something I didn’t feel when I watched the prison guard documentary. Why is it so embarrassing to catch a fish while shouting loudly even when you see it on the screen? .
It was compared to what appeared in the prison documentary.
Forget it, forget it.
Still, I was curious about the reaction on the Internet.
‘Let me see.’
I opened the community site and looked through the list of posts, starting with the most recent. When I looked, there were quite a few related articles. Among them, I clicked on a title that caught my eye.
-Title: It’s 100% fabricated.
-Content: Among my acquaintances, there is a hunter who has the Lion’s Roar skill and has a really loud voice, but this is a complete fabrication. They say they put on a show using batteries. There is water, but it can never be like that.
‘That damn acquaintance drip.’
Sihyeon chuckled.
He read the comment.
-Where does the manipulative information go?
-70% to 80% of that program is planned and played. Anything that is advertised as a good restaurant means you have to pay money.
-Don’t you know everything? Haha, I watch this show because it shows a lot of pretty women.
-Let’s go to a program that knows the value of the license fee. I’m scared that it will be abolished. I need to see naked women.
-I acknowledge the good manipulation.
“Wow, this is completely unreliable compared to public broadcast documentaries.”
It was such an outrageous scene that it was hard to believe it unless you saw it in person, and it seemed like they thought it was because the program itself was mostly about gossip.
“Well, my popularity would have gone up at least a little.”
That was the purpose of appearing on the broadcast anyway.
“Ah, I guess I should at least send a message this time.”
Sihyeon tapped his cell phone.
[I enjoyed the broadcast, PD Han. It came out fun.]
-Thank you for enjoying it. A good video came out thanks to the prison guard willingly deciding to appear. Thank you again. ^-^
[What are you saying? ^^; Then, I will contact you again next time.]
-Yes~~ Have a nice evening.
“I’m glad I didn’t forget this time.”
Sihyeon muttered.
◈ ◈ ◈
“What? Why is Class B here?”
Sihyeon, who arrived at the gate early as usual, tilted her head upon hearing Minjun’s words. Today was the day I was supposed to have a joint raid with the Black Tiger Guild, which I had a connection with through my work as a cotton ball technician.
It was a D-class gate.
It was natural to have doubts because it was a vision that I realized while running a raid that a B-class hunter would not be seen even with his nose removed at a D-class gate.
“You know the White Dragon Guild, right?”
“I’ve heard of it.”
While Sihyeon has been playing raids, her knowledge related to the industry has naturally increased to some extent.
The White Dragon Guild was founded a few years ago by a man named Kim Cheol-joong, who was famous for his skills among A-level hunters. Perhaps because it was a guild founded by an A-level hunter with great reputation and connections, its resourcefulness in recruiting hunters was beyond imagination.
In particular, recruiting familiar hunters from other guilds was effective. Hunters with skills and experience took their place first, creating an atmosphere that the guild could be trusted even though it was a new guild.
With that awareness, it was easy to attract investment from capitalists. Thanks to this, the White Dragon Guild continued to grow rapidly, and has now become one of the largest guilds in Korea.
“Is there an internal regulation that has become a tradition that new members of the White Dragon Guild must go through once?”
“what is that?”
“Before participating in a gate raid of intermediate or higher levels, we make them take a look at low-level gates such as E-level or D-level gates. I know that even A-level hunters are no exception.”
“Really? Is it something like new training?”
Minjun answered Sihyeon’s question.

“Before you start working in earnest, you should get a taste of what the gate is and build your confidence.”
“So, a B-rank hunter from the White Dragon Guild is coming here today?”
“huh.”
“Today, the Black Tiger Guild, you, me, and Eunhye were supposed to go on a raid. Can the list suddenly increase?”
“It doesn’t matter. Just think of it as a comfortable experience.”
“Some people will be dissatisfied if the income is divided.”
“Ah. It’s just a service, a service. We don’t take any income. We help new recruits gain experience and confidence, while also managing our external image. Who would say no to getting paid for free?”
It may not be possible for a C-level hunter, but for a B-level or higher level gate, the low-level gate was, as Minjun said, awesome. It was not an event that came around every day, but it was an opportunity that hunters also welcomed as it was an occasional opportunity to go around the gate comfortably without affecting their income.
“I see what you mean.”
Sihyeon nodded.
After some time, grace arrived. She waved her hand and said hello.
“You guys came first.”
“I heard all our guild members are fast.”
Minjun said.
Newcomers from the Black Tiger Guild and the White Dragon Guild have not arrived yet.
After some time, a van carrying members of the Black Tiger Guild arrived. Perhaps because we overcame a desperate crisis together with the Black Tiger Guild, we became closer, and the number of joint raids like this increased.
“Hwii, the main character is definitely coming late.”
Minjun whistled.
As I was exchanging greetings with the Black Tiger guild leader and guild members, a blue Porsche approached. Everyone’s eyes were on Porsche.
Eventually, the door opened and a very young-looking man with pomaded hair and a man in a suit who appeared to be in his mid-30s got out together.
“Are you from the White Dragon Guild?”
“I see.”
“Nice to meet you. My name is Jeong Tae-seong, leader of the Black Tiger Guild. Please take care of me today.”
“Is there any need to make a full statement when we don’t see each other again? I will never come back to this low-level gate again.”
The pomade man, who seemed to have lost his youth, snorted and passed by without even accepting the handshake offered by Taeseong, the leader of the Black Tiger Guild. Taeseong’s face heated up at that incredible example.
However, like a hunter who has experienced all kinds of hardships, he quickly got his emotions under control.
“That bastard.”
“Stop. Your brother is also patient, so just be patient.”
The gaze of the members of the Black Tiger Guild was naturally not kind, but when the guild leader Taeseong showed patience, he seemed to be suppressing his anger.
“That bastard. Just because the young guy became upper class, he’s already got a lot of energy.”
Minjun grumbled so quietly that he couldn’t be heard.
“I guess it’s because I’m still young.”
Eunhye said that, but Sihyeon shook her head.
“No, that guy continues like that.”
I experienced so much in prison that I was sick of how little people change. Seeing criminals coming into prison over and over again for similar crimes.
“I’m sorry. Maybe it’s because he’s still young, but he’s really shy. My name is Na Hyeong-cheol from the White Dragon Guild, and he’s my supporter today. His name is Kim Jin-su.”
Fortunately, Na Hyeong-cheol, who was also from the White Dragon Guild, apologized to Tae-seong and the atmosphere calmed down a bit.
Taesung also looked like he didn’t really care.
“Then are you both B-class hunters?”
“Yes, that’s right. It’s just a day, but let’s be nice to each other.”
“Please take good care of me here too.”
The pomade guy, Jinsu Kim, grumbled openly as if he wanted me to hear him.
“Hyung-cheol, you are doing such a useless thing. After all, people live in different places. Why should you care about people who will only breathe the air downstairs for the rest of their lives?”
Although he only said a few words earlier, everyone here could tell that Kim Jin-su’s personality was not cheesy.
“…That bastard is a very innocent person.”
One of the Black Tiger guild members frowned and muttered softly.
The opponent is a B-class hunter from a large guild. It was something that could not be done carelessly. I didn’t have the ability to do that. Because he knows that, that young guy is acting so arrogantly.
“From now on, I think I’ll get a bad feeling if I’m ranked B.”
Sihyeon muttered.
The worst killer, a cotton ball technician, is also a B grade.
That rude little guy is also a B grade.
I haven’t even met a few B-class people, but it looks like this.
“I’ll just ignore it because it’s just a day. It would be terrible to be in the same guild as that guy.”
Minjun shook his head as if his personality did not suit that kind of person at all.
“Shall we go in slowly?”
Hyeong-cheol, who appeared as a supporter of the White Dragon Guild, said.
◈ ◈ ◈
High-level hunters who came to the low-level gate usually did not take raids seriously. This is because there was no problem in slaughtering the monster even if it was a bit fluttery.
Jinsu Kim also had a very relaxed expression and slaughtered monsters with light movements, as if swatting away flies. While doing so, he occasionally glanced at the party members behind him with arrogant eyes.
I’m different from you guys. To me, a gate like this is like a joke to the point of making me yawn.
It was as if he was showing off by saying that with his eyes. Whatever his cocky attitude, thanks to that, Sihyeon and the members of the Black Tiger Guild only had to occasionally catch monsters that came out behind them or act as porters.
“Let’s go at this slow pace.”
Hyeong-cheol said. He also had a relaxed expression, like someone who had just gone for a walk.
“Do whatever you want. I’ll take care of this for you two.”
Taeseong, the leader of the Black Tiger Guild, answered.
When the difference in skill was this drastic, anyone could see that it was right to focus on advanced hunters.
“Hyung-cheol, that’s right. Even you guys are worrying about something. Just turn off your mind and go.”
When Jinsu said that, the atmosphere became tense again.
“Well, aren’t those words too harsh?”
One member of the Black Tiger guild eventually couldn’t bear it and became angry.
“If it gets worse, what are you going to do?”
Jinsu glared coldly.
“….”
The Black Tiger guild member, who was furious, could not speak and bit his lip. This was because he knew the reality that there was nothing he could do about it. There are few worlds where skill determines everything as much as the hunter world. It was almost like the grades were stratified.
Everyone knew that, so it seemed like they would just put up with it and move on, even if it was dirty. After all, there are people with dirty personalities everywhere. This time it’s just a B-class hunter. For such people, there are times when bumping into something is not the only solution, and avoiding it is the right response.
“I guess that’s why they say it’s bothersome to get involved with people from the lower class.”
Jinsu muttered as if to listen and turned around.
“Oh, I’m sorry. It’s because I’m still young. Please understand.”
Hyeong-cheol apologized with an embarrassed look on his face. I’m a B-class hunter who just signed a contract and can run for 5 years, but my personality was like that, so it was a bit of a problem. He was the epitome of a personality that was weak to the strong and strong to the weak. Seeing how he treats A-class hunters very politely and condescendingly, he seems to be fine, but when he thinks of them as people below him, his original personality comes out like a ghost.
“It’s just today anyway. Please understand again.”
Hyeong-cheol apologized again.
◈ ◈ ◈
Sihyeon and Eunhye looked a little reluctant from the moment they entered the gate. It wasn’t because of the arrogant new member of the White Dragon Guild. Because it brought back bad memories.
Coincidentally, this gate was a tower similar to that time. It was also the same as the fact that it was on the 10th floor.
“Why did you guys look like that from earlier?”
Minjun asked.
What happened at that time was kept a secret from everyone, so even Minjun didn’t know.
“…It’s no big deal. I don’t like going up stairs.”
“Yes, Minjun oppa. Me too.”
As Sihyeon gave a vague explanation, Eunhye also gave the same reason.
When I first entered the gate, the expressions of the Black Tiger guild members were not good. No wonder they lost two guild members.
When such painful memories come to mind, the expression on your face naturally doesn’t look good. Moreover, a young guy called a B-class hunter touched the seed.
“Come on, let’s go.”
Hyeong-cheol said that and took the lead and started going up to the second floor.
