Episode 93
People accept things they experience more easily than what they hear.
There is a reason why the saying, “seeing is believing” has been used so openly from the time it was first introduced to the present.
Seo Sang-ho, who did not believe in the existence of Su-in, had no choice but to acknowledge their skills after seeing them for himself.
The idea that there were beings other than humans was a story that went against his common sense.
With the evidence right in front of my eyes, it was natural to accept it.
“They are residents of another dimension… … .”
After hearing the explanation, Seo Sang-ho felt as if the foundation of his common sense had been shaken.
“It’s a world where monsters and hunters actually appear, so it’s not impossible.”
Seo Sang-ho muttered to himself and tried to understand the current situation.
To begin with, weren’t Kang Jin-hyeok’s actions up until now nonsensical?
He was only a D-rank hunter, but he rose to the position of guild leader of a large guild in less than a year.
Having experienced such an unrealistic history, I couldn’t be so surprised by the appearance of Suin now.
“Where on earth did you get all these people?”
“secret.”
Kang Jin-hyeok didn’t want to tell other hunters about the dungeon’s existence.
Seo Sang-ho and Lee Hye-na seemed like trustworthy people, but they were planning to keep that a secret.
Although Seo Sang-ho felt a little disappointed, he understood Kang Jin-hyeok’s attitude.
As a hunter, it was wise to keep any secret methods hidden until the end.
“It’s a secret… … Then how are you going to explain it to the association?”
“I should ask Lee Jun-cheol to create a fake identity for me.”
“All these numbers?”
“entire.”
Seo Sang-ho laughed with a dejected expression.
If Lee Jun-cheol and his organization members exerted their power, it wouldn’t be completely impossible, considering the power of Pantheon as a large guild.
Seo Sang-ho prayed for the repose of Lee Jun-cheol’s soul, thinking of all the hardships he had to endure during that process.
“Even if you resolve the issue, if you don’t intend to reveal it to the association, it would be difficult to bring it to the forefront.”
“I’ll call you when another guild raids or there’s a monster attack.”
“So where will they stay in the meantime?”
“There are a lot of rooms here.”
The current headquarters building of the Pantheon, left behind by Tyrant, was filled with facilities for guild members.
But now, there are almost no people using the facility.
Lee Jun-cheol and his organization members already had their own residence.
Guild members who joined from Titan also mainly operated in Titan’s territory.
Kang Jin-hyeok thought that it would be much more profitable to hand it over to Soo-in rather than leaving the empty room unused.
“It would certainly be more comfortable for us to live here.”
Living among the general public would be more of a burden to the people.
Seo Sang-ho thought it would be better for them to live a comfortable life under the protection of the guild.
“Okay, then let’s say the people’s problem has been roughly resolved.”
Seo Sang-ho pointed with his finger at the pure white object next to Kang Jin-hyeok.
“What the heck is that lizard?”
“Watch what you say, human.”
The dragon, which had shrunk to human size, showed a displeased expression towards Seo Sang-ho.
“I will forgive you this time, seeing your face, sir. If you show such rude words and actions again, be prepared to die.”
Seo Sang-ho looked at the dragon with curious eyes as he heard the voice directly in his head.
“Just looking at it, it doesn’t seem like it’s Suin. What on earth did you bring?”
“I didn’t bring you here, you just followed me.”
Kang Jin-hyeok glanced at the dragon and sighed deeply.
As great as the dragon’s power was, there was no urgent need to use it here.
The dragon’s existence was burdensome to Kang Jin-hyeok, as he wasn’t even sure if it would be properly controlled.
“Can’t you just go back?”
Dragon shook his head sharply at Kang Jin-hyeok’s heartfelt words.
“That can never happen.”
Dragons are originally beings that seek knowledge.
I couldn’t miss the opportunity to see the other dimension with my own eyes.
“At least change into the form of a human or another animal.”
“I don’t like it.”
For a dragon, turning into a human was like turning into a cockroach.
Even if it was Kang Jin-hyeok’s request, I had no intention of turning into such an inferior species.
“Then you’re going to walk around like that?”
『I will normally use the invisibility magic. Then there is no need to change my appearance.』
As soon as the dragon finished speaking, his body turned transparent.
Kang Jin-hyeok wasn’t impressed since he had already seen it once, but Seo Sang-ho and Lee Hye-na were not like that.
“Transparency? That’s amazing.”
“Even among the assassin class hunters, there is no one who can hide so well.”
The dragon became proud as the two people showed their admiration.
“This is a very easy task.”
The dragon, which had reappeared, stared at Kang Jin-hyeok.

In front of those eyes that wanted recognition, Kang Jin-hyeok eventually declared surrender.
“Okay, I understand. Do whatever you want.”
“thank you.”
“But never kill other people without my permission.”
“……All right.”
The dragon hesitated for a moment, but soon accepted Kang Jin-hyeok’s offer.
The dragon wanted to investigate other dimensions, so there was no need to kill humans.
“Is it okay to do some experiments without killing them?”
“no.”
Kang Jin-hyeok felt it once again when he saw the dragon’s gloomy expression.
That we must return this dragon to its original place as soon as possible.
‘If I leave it alone, I don’t know what kind of accident will happen.’
To Kang Jin-hyeok, the existence of the dragon was like a nuclear missile.
The problem was that the nuclear missile launch button could be pressed at will.
It would have been a hundred times better if there had been no such thing.
But what can we do? That damn missile has an ego, so we have to try to appease it before it gets upset and explodes.

“Huh? On vacation?”
Jeong Dae-yoon, who heard the news from Lee Hye-na, looked at her with a look of suspicion as if he couldn’t believe it.
“You said the guild would fail without me?”
Until now, Pantheon has been making up for the lack of guild members with Jeong Dae-yoon’s welcome skill.
The pile of MP potions next to Jeong Dae-yoon showed how long he had been working without rest.
“The guild leader has replenished his forces. So there is no need to fool our eyes with tricks anymore.”
“Is that true?”
“Do I look like the kind of person who would go around lying about things like this?”
“No, that’s not it.”
Jeong Dae-yoon simply couldn’t accept the idea of a vacation, as he hadn’t had a single day of rest since Pantheon was founded.
This is what is called forgetting how to rest.
“Hey… what should I do when I rest?”
“I think it would be a good idea to get some sleep first.”
In Lee Hye-na’s eyes, Jeong Dae-yoon looked like a piece of chaff that would crumble at any moment.
It was very fortunate that Kang Jin-hyeok brought Su-in before anyone in the guild died from overwork.
“That’s good. I think you should get some sleep. Go home quickly.”
Lee Jun-cheol, who was working in the same office, congratulated Jeong Dae-yoon on his vacation.
Jung Dae-yoon saw that dark circles had formed under his eyes as well.
“If the personnel have been supplemented, shouldn’t Mr. Lee Jun-cheol also rest?”
“Those are the ones who only know how to fight… … .”
I couldn’t assign these people who couldn’t communicate to the work that Lee Jun-cheol was in charge of.
As a result, rather than Lee Jun-cheol’s workload decreasing, he was given the additional task of obtaining undercover identities for 50 people.
“Mr. Lee Jun-cheol, please hold on tight, I’ll let you rest once this matter is over.”
“No, I’m fine. My body is tired, but I feel good because the money is piling up on its own.”
Lee Jun-cheol’s words were sincere.
It was a hundred times better to use the power of a large guild to jump into the market than to trade in the back alleys.
“Pantheon is a new guild, so if we pull it together now, we’ll have something to eat later on.”
The first step is important in anything.
Lee Jun-cheol walked all the way to the organization, not wanting the line he had joined to end up as just another guild.
Even if my body and mind were a little tired, I wanted to get this guild back on track.
“By the way, what country did you bring them from that you can’t even reveal your original nationality?”
“The guild leader said it was a secret, so we don’t know.”
“Hold on. You keep it a secret while dropping this kind of bomb. Our guild leader is really being selfish.”
Lee Jun-cheol grumbled on the outside, but there was a smile on his lips.
It was an unexpected event to see the number of fighters increase by as many as 50.
No matter how much you build up your internal strength, if you don’t have the most important ‘soldiers’, you won’t be able to eat or drink.
Now, the aftereffects of the battle between Titan and Tyrant are slowly fading away, and it is time for other large guilds to raise their heads one by one.
There must be more than one or two forces targeting the new guild among them.
“Are you sure about the information you gave me?”
“I can 100% guarantee it because Mr. Sangho tested it himself.”
“Seo Sang-ho’s evaluation… …. Then I guess it’s trustworthy.”
The documents that Lee Jun-cheol was looking at contained the specifications of the people.
Although they have virtually no skills, their physical abilities are so excellent that they compensate for their shortcomings.
If it comes down to simple hand-to-hand combat, their strength will shine brighter than that of other guild members.
‘The more I look at him, the more amazing he is.’
Lee Jun-cheol decided not to think anymore about where Kang Jin-hyeok had brought these people from.
It didn’t seem like they would teach me even if I asked anyway.
If we were to dig up information out of curiosity, it would only hurt each other’s feelings, so now was the time to think about how to use these people most efficiently.
“Oh, that’s right. This request from the guild leader. Is this really necessary?”
“What are you talking about?”
“This is it. This.”
The paper that Lee Jun-cheol handed to Lee Hye-na contained Kang Jin-hyeok’s request regarding clothing.
“A hood that fits tightly, a beanie, and a mask… … Are you really going to make this your uniform?”
“It’s an inevitable choice if you want to hide your identity from other guilds.”
“This is it. If you dress like this, people will think you’re a member of a gang, not a guild member.”
“Isn’t it okay since they’re not the type of people that can be put out front?”
Kang Jin-hyeok planned to mobilize Su-in only when the guild was in danger.
Not only was there a risk of his identity being discovered if he showed his face frequently, but Kang Jin-hyeok did not want to treat the people he had brought with him carelessly.
“If anyone knew, they would think you mobilized criminals.”
Lee Jun-cheol chewed over what he had said and burst into laughter.
Using criminals as guild members? Isn’t that exactly what you were talking about for yourself and your guild members?
People who used to do gangster work in the black market are now working here, and now there is no sign that they are increasing in number.
