#37. Iris’s guild master, Cheongunak
Inside the Sangun Guild Training Center.
Quang! Quang!
A man eagerly swings his sword at a wooden doll.
The people around were glancing at the man.
“oh my god… “It’s really Yudamdeok.”
A slim man said that with his mouth slightly open.
Then several people gathered around and began to speak out.
“Wow, the movement is killing me… .”
“That person is the rookie hunter who was recently promoted to 6 stars, right?”
“Oh, right. “There was a 6-star gap in our country for quite some time, but you filled that spot right away.”
“Why was he famous on social media as ‘Corea Hunter’?”
“Hey, it’s more famous for destroying the gate than that. Do you know how many views related videos have? “When I saw the news this time, I heard that they had exclusive rights to investigate the gate.”
Everyone was talking about the man’s achievements.
In fact, it was common in the hunter world to talk about other people’s achievements, but Damdeok’s case was a little special.
“however… I heard that person was originally untalented? I got goosebumps when I heard that. and! Even as I say it now, I still get goosebumps. “Look at this.”
A man overacts and rolls up his sleeves.
The short-haired woman next to me said, “Ugh!” she added.
“It’s amazing, it’s really amazing. No matter how many miracles happen, the original talent blooms only until the growth plate closes… .”
It was common knowledge to everyone.
However, when it was revealed that Damdeok was untalented until his growth plate closed due to Cheonjungak’s struggles, not only the hunter world but also the entire academic world was turned upside down.
Everyone was eager to study Damdeok’s special case, but Damdeok flatly refused them all.
“It’s something I’ve wanted to do my whole life. I want to live believing that this is a blessing from God. “I no longer want to have any interference with modern medicine.”
Damdeok explained the reason quite convincingly at the press conference, but in fact, the real reason was… .
‘bothered.’
Officials who had no way of knowing this fact desperately went into persuasion mode, but in the end, no one has been able to study Damdeok’s mysterious case until now.
“But it’s a little strange.”
The short-haired female hunter tilted her head.
“what?”
Everyone focused on the short-haired hunter.
“Some people who had no talent became 6-star hunters… .”
As the woman trailed off, everyone’s bodies slowly moved forward.
“Is it okay?
“Okay, but what?”
“Hey, I’m curious. Tell me quickly!”
The short-haired hunter looked at the man training with strange eyes.
“… No, there are 6-star hunters, so what are you going to use the gate investigation rights for?”
Everyone’s expressions changed strangely at those words.
When I thought about it, it was like that.
The monsters at the gate are weak, so it can’t be used for training, and there won’t be any magic stones or items that can be obtained in the dungeon… .
Why did a talented person who could turn a country upside down suddenly receive the right to investigate the gate?
“hmm… “We don’t know either.”
A man shrugged his shoulders and said. Everyone’s opinions pour in.
“Well, isn’t it better to be safe?”
“Maybe you want to explore the unknown.”
“Or maybe dungeons are still scary? “Kkkkkk.”
People giggled and added nonsense.
For them, this was one of the few moments of sweet rest during their arduous training.
‘I can hear everything. Hey guys .. hey guys.’
After completing the 10,000th strike, Damdeok straightened his sword and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
‘It’s nice that Namgoong Do-eok is considerate and can use the training center as he pleases, but it attracts too much attention.’
Of course, what they say is done without malice, so it doesn’t really bother me.
But now that my senses have become more sensitive thanks to my combat concentration skills, how can I pretend not to know the vivid words I hear?
And I keep hearing my name… .
‘I liked training in Apollo’s backyard.’
It was a quiet space with only wild birds and deer.
When I fired my bow while listening to the cool sound of the waves, I felt like my heart was being opened.
‘But we can’t stay in the world of gods forever.’
Now that he met Jo Soo-yul, Damdeok’s future goals were clear.
‘Subjugate all the 12 guardians mentioned in the prophecy and prevent the war of the gods.’
And here in the human world is its first guardian.
That was the reason Damdeok trained here every day.
‘They said you would definitely meet the first Guardian at the Sangun Guild Training Center.’
Ju Ju-yul knew the faces and names of the 12 guardians in the wisdom, and even what abilities they had.
However, the first guardian only said that an unnatural meeting would only be poisonous and not to worry as they would meet naturally.
It’s already been a week since Ju Soo-yul hasn’t been seen since he left those words.
‘Hehe, if I give you more hints than I already know, what’s the point?’
Waiting like this every day for a guardian I don’t even know who he is makes me feel sick to death.

After looking around once more, Damdeok silently returned Baekseol’s wooden sword to its original state.
– will!
“Let’s end today’s training here.”
From dawn until 7 p.m.
Snow White continued to transform into the sword, knuckles, bow, shoulder blade, and sword without stopping, and her expression clearly showed signs of exhaustion.
“great job. “I’ll order chicken today.”
– will?!
At the word chicken, Baek White’s half-closed eyes lit up! It was opened.
Saliva was already leaking from the mouth.
“Hey! It’s like this again! “Stop drooling!”
– will! will!
“okay. “You’re leaving now!”
Baekseol grabs the hem of Damdeok’s clothes and runs forward with great force. A man blocked the way.
… what?
A familiar face that Damdeok sees as soon as he raises his head.
Damdeok looked at the guy in front of him with a pitiful expression.
“… Are you unemployed?”
“You’re noisy, you bastard.”
It was Cheon Jung-ak, a man of sturdy physique who twitched his eyebrows.
A fierce wolf held tightly in his hand.
– Crrrrr… !
Anyone could see that it was a monster that looked to be about 3 meters tall with gray fur.
Is it some kind of hound?
Why does this crazy guy bring monsters to the indoor training center?
When Damdeok looked at him as if he was crazy, Cheonjungak smiled and said.
“Kkeuk, what is it? Didn’t anyone tell you? The Taming Master Competition is being held here today. Well, you are not even a member of the Sangun, so who would have told you? Anyway, you idiot, you’ll be a nuisance even when you grow up.”
For a moment, I thought about hanging him upside down from the ceiling chandelier due to the harsh swear words he spat out, but I soon decided against it.
Even if I react to them all, I’m the only one who gets tired.
‘Now that I think about it, is this what the official told me this morning?’
I was told that late night training would be difficult because there was an event scheduled at the training center starting at 8pm this evening.
Didn’t you say no to the offer to open a separate personal training center?
‘These days, all my interest is focused on meeting that damn first guardian… ‘I just forgot.’
I guess the competition being held today was the Taming Master competition.
Damdeok looked at Cheonjungak’s hound in silence for a moment.
Cheonjungak seemed to be aware of those gazes and chattered proudly.
“What are you looking at? Cool, right? Of course, this guy should win. “Iris’s successor, Cheonjungak, tamed it, so isn’t it only natural that it was tamed?”
They talk about things without even asking.
Damdeok, who was listening, muttered with a shocked expression.
“For a hound, he looks quite shabby… .”
“what?!”
One of Cheon Jung-ak’s eyebrows rose.
– Crrrrr! Cough! Wow!
The dog must have sensed its owner’s anger and started barking furiously at Damdeok.
“Oh, yes, yes. Our Giant, knock that guy! Do you want to bite me and kill me? Sigh. Actually, I am like that too… Evie!”
– Cough!! Wow!!
When Cheonjungak slightly loosened the leash, the hound’s ferocious teeth came close to Damdeok’s hand and hit him.
Perfect! Tick!
“… … .”
As Damdeok stood silently, Cheonjungak twirled around happily.
“Kkeuk, don’t worry, don’t worry. There are so many people, do you think I would kill you? “I thought you didn’t know the greatness of the Giant, so I just showed it to you.”
As Cheon Jung-ak said that, he was constantly loosening the leash and pulling it, repeating the dangerous action.
“… Move.”
“Nope?”
“Other people can’t pass because of you.”
Cheon Jung-ak was standing blocking the entire training center door.
Because of this, everyone was watching and no one could go out.
Cheonjungak was very annoyed by Damdeok’s calmness.
‘Why isn’t this guy responding?’
Giant is a greyhound brought from Germany at a high price.
It is known for its fierce temper and strong jaw, so it is a fearsome creature that can rip off entire bones with one bite.
But instead of being scared in front of the hound, Damdeok was looking at him with a pitiful expression.
It was no wonder that Cheon Jung-ak’s face crumpled.
“You bastard, why do you always look like that… .”
Cheonjungak’s hands trembled with anger.
I really hate Yu Dam-deok.
Didn’t everything about me change after that guy appeared during my school days?
My father always saw that guy without a drop of blood… !!
“What are you doing here?”
Cheonjungak, who was shaking at the sudden voice, suddenly turned around.
A man walking in hurriedly.
After that, about 20 employees in black suits come in.
Cheonjungak hesitated and took a step back.
He was dressed in a tight suit, had a nice physique, and had his hair all white, and although there were some wrinkles on his forehead, the energy the man exuded was unusual.
In short, he was someone who seemed to have a high status at first glance.
“I asked what are you doing here?”
Cheon Jung-ak, who was blocking the door, had already retreated a long way back.
“Ah, father… .”
As Cheon Jung-ak stuttered and could not make eye contact, the middle-aged man clicked his tongue.
“If you’re going to participate in the competition, you should do it quietly. Are you still out of your mind? Are we going to forcibly send troops overseas again?”
Cheon Jung-ak’s body trembled slightly at those words.
“President. The event will start soon. Come on in… .”
The secretary cautiously approached and spoke to him, but when he met Cheongunak’s gaze telling him not to interfere, he hurriedly backed away.
Cheongunak.
The current head of Iris, the No. 1 guild in Korea in name and reality.
Two years ago, as Iris established itself as one of the world’s top 10 guilds, he was also one of the top 100 most influential hunters in the world selected by the New York Times.
“… “It’s been a while.”
He said, looking at Damdeok, who was standing in front of him instead of his son.
“yes. Long time no see.”
At that simple answer, Cheongunak kept his mouth shut for a moment.
He looked like he had a lot to say, but he soon hardened his expression, perhaps because he was conscious of people’s gaze.
“If my son was rude, I will apologize on his behalf. “I’m a poor guy, so please understand.”
That was the end of it.
Cheongunak passed by Damdeok, and Cheonjungak turned bright red and trembled even to his ears at his father’s words.
“How long are you going to stay like that!”
Only then did Cheongunak rush to the shouts of Cheongunak.
Of course, he didn’t forget to curse harshly as he passed by Damdeok.
“Bogs, you don’t really leave it next time.”
Damdeok looked at the back of Cheonjungak and his hound as they walked away.
‘It’s a Taming Master competition… .’
Participants who had brought monsters with them were already gathering inside the training center.
Damdeok, who was looking alternately at Cheongunak, who was sitting in the judge’s seat, the officials next to him, and Cheonjoongak’s extremely obnoxious face, raised the corner of his mouth.
“I’m sorry, Baek Seol. “I guess I’ll have to eat some chicken later.”
