Chapter 148 – Return (2)
“uh···”
Seo-joon was momentarily dazed at the scene unfolding before his eyes.
And that was true not only for Seo-jun but also for the other party members.
“excuse me! Seojun Kim, Hunter!”
“Where are you!”
It was because of too many people.
Not to mention countless reporters, but even people who came to see the Dream Team’s face once they heard the news.
“Hunter Kim Seojun! Please take a moment to say something!”
“I heard that you dealt with monsters that even the heroes of Cataclysm couldn’t handle, is it really true?”
“What exactly did you do in Italy!”
There is nowhere to set foot.
Can you find a more appropriate expression than this?
Incheon Airport was literally crowded with huge crowds.
“uh···”
All of the party, including Seo-joon, were dazed at the sight in front of them.
chump chump chump chump!
As if the camera was going to capture even that scene, the flash fired non-stop.
It’s been a while since I’ve been dazed by the flood of flashlights and questions.
“I’ll be gone for a while.”
A familiar voice came from somewhere.
At the same time, the crowd began to split in an instant, like the sea parting.
And the person who appeared in the crowd was none other than Lee Tae-beom, the president of the Korea Pro Hunter Association.
Lee Tae-beom, accompanied by the association’s staff, approached Seo-joon.
The association’s staff made their way through the crowds.
In fact, the words were employees of the association, all pro hunters who passed the pro hunter exam.
As the association staff became a barricade, a road was created from in front of Seo-joon to the entrance.
“Ah, president of the association.”
“long time no see. Hunter Kim Seo-joon.”
At Seojun’s greeting, Lee Taebum smiled a little.
And the people who looked at them like that.
“Lee Tae-bum?”
“The president of the association came out to meet you?”
“Is that Lee Tae-bum?”
People opened their eyes in amazement and started whispering.
Taebum Lee looked around and said to Seojun.
“It would be nice to move from one place to another. Come this way.”
Lee Tae-beom guided Seo-joon and his companions.
Seo-joon followed Lee Tae-bum’s guidance and moved.
Seo-joon and his party were able to easily get out of Incheon Airport.
Then, Lee Tae-beom boarded a vehicle prepared in advance and headed to Seoul, where the Dream Team building was located.
In the car on the way back to Seoul.
“The news came right away. He did well in Italy.”
Only then did Lee Tae-bum slowly open his mouth.
“What the heck…”
Seo-joon blurted out his words in an awkward mind.
Seeing Seo-jun like that, Lee Tae-bum smiled deeply.
“There is a small gift we have prepared for those dream team members.”
“yes? A gift?”
“Congratulations on returning home… should I call it a gift? In fact, I don’t even call it a gift…”
At the same time, Lee Tae-bum pulled out something from his chest.
It was a small card that looked like a driver’s license, but it was all shiny gold.
Lee Tae-bum unfolded it clearly.
The words written on it, A-class hunter license.
Lee Tae-bum said with a grin.
“You did a really good job in Italy.”
Except for Seo-jun, Lee Tae-bum handed them over one by one according to their names.
“We requested the Italian Pro Hunter Association to include all the dungeons handled by the Dream Team in our performance. It’s still not up to S-class hunters… but everyone seems to have enough qualifications to become A-class hunters.”
In a word, it meant that all members of the Dream Team were upgraded to Class A Hunters.
“and!!”
“My, I’m a Class A Hunter!”
The team members who received the certificate were delighted with a lot of recalled expressions.
He must be so, and being an A-rank hunter is a level that professional hunters do not want.
The treatment is different from the existing B class.
Even if you go to a guild in the top 20 called a large guild, not a small or medium guild, you will receive special treatment.
Elite raid teams are natural, and the income and rewards of advanced dungeons are enormous.
In addition, if there is no guild you really like, there is also a way to become a master yourself.
The small and medium guilds currently located in Korea were guilds created by these A-rank hunters.

A-rank hunter was just such a level.
“The day will come when I will become an A-class hunter too.”
“Seoyoon unni is new to me too.”
In a way, it was natural for the inside of the car to become noisy in an instant.
Lee Tae-beom called Seo-joon with a gentle smile.
“And Kim Seo-joon.”
Hearing the voice calling him, Seo-joon turned his head and looked at Lee Tae-bum.
Taebum Lee took out a small card from his pocket and handed it to Seojun.
Brilliant white light radiating out.
It didn’t even seem unusual to look at.
“This···?”
“It’s an S-class Hunter license.”
Seo-joon quietly received it and confirmed it.
Although Seo-jun was unfamiliar with jewelry, he quickly noticed that it was made by mixing platinum and diamonds.
An S-class hunter called the pinnacle of professional hunters.
The de facto end point that pro hunters can reach.
This was a certificate proving that he had become such a Hunter.
“ah···”
Of course, it had already been confirmed before going to Italy.
However, when I received my license like this, I felt new.
“and! The captain’s one is really cool, isn’t it?”
“oh my god! Are these really platinum and diamonds?”
“Sure.”
Lee Tae-bum nodded at Soo-yeon’s question.
“Then the price of the card itself would be too expensive…!”
At that moment, Suyeon stopped talking and looked at Seojun.
At the same time, everyone in the party looked at Seo-jun.
It’s like, ‘Could it be…?’ facial expressions.
“… isn’t it?”
To Soo-yeon’s question, Seo-jun answered as if asking what he was talking about.
“Anyway, it is. can i sell this What does everyone think of me?”
“That, right?”
Still, for some reason, Suyeon’s expression was dubious.
Seo-joon tapped his finger at Su-yeon’s forehead.
“Aw!!!”
Then Su-yeon complained of great pain and ran away.
He was rubbing his forehead as if it was quite painful.
“What, what…? Why does it hurt so much?”
“Eh? sick? Did the captain just touch it with his finger?”
Minyul tilted his head as he looked at Suyeon.
That would be the case, because Seo-jun’s action was nothing more than a flick of the finger.
However, in addition to the divine power that works passively, the power that I learned this time.
The combination of the two was not to be taken lightly.
“Really! It hurts so much!”
Soo-yeon frowned and rubbed her forehead again.
“It’s tough.”
Seo-joon only let out a smile.
However, Lee Tae-beom watched the scene from the side.
‘That’s just…!’
Taebum Lee opened his eyes involuntarily.
To others, Seo-joon’s actions were simply seen as tapping and tapping his fingers.
To be honest, Lee Tae-bum thought so too.
If only he hadn’t been sitting right next to Seojun.
Lee Tae-bum would have just ignored it.
However, Seo-joon’s actions, which he watched from the sidelines, were not simply finger tapping.
Exactly in the process, Lee Tae-bum could see it.
The power that was concentrated only at the fingertips.
It was a job that required precise control of power reaching the limit of the limit.
Even Lee Tae-bum wanted to imitate him right now, but he couldn’t.
‘What is this…’
Lee Tae-bum couldn’t hide his surprised eyes.
Do you know or don’t know how Lee Tae-bum feels?
“Certainly… the qualifications are cool.”
Looking at the S-class hunter license, Seo-joon only burst into admiration.
A thought passed through Lee Tae-bum’s head at the sight of Seo-joon.
‘······ Are you really an S-class hunter?’
It was a crazy idea.
It was a really crazy idea.
But for some reason, Lee Tae-bum couldn’t nod his head.
Come to think of it, that was the case just looking at what happened in Italy this time.
The situation that broke out in Italy was something that even the hero of the cataclysm, Andrea, could not handle.
That’s why everyone shook their heads saying no.
He pointed at me as an object.
However, Seojun honestly pushed ahead.
And then, as if to show off, he overturned all the impossible.
As if the impossibility was nothing, he raised Italy from collapse.
Even the heroes of Cataclysm couldn’t do it.
In other words, the level of Seo-joon could only be seen as a hero of at least a cataclysm.
‘No, maybe Kim Seo-joon Hunter is already…’
Suddenly.
Lee Tae-bum shook his head roughly.
No matter how you think about it, it made no sense.
#
The Dream Team building has arrived.
Seo-joon stood in front of him, blankly for a while.
“It doesn’t look like you’ve been gone for a long time…”
Maybe it’s because it’s a building I’ve been with since I was a student.
Seo-joon felt as if he had returned to his hometown.
And the others seem to do the same.
“No matter what, my house is the best!”
“I feel like I’m really at home!”
“Something… I feel welcome.”
“Shall we tear down and repair the building with the money we earned this time?”
Everyone entered the building with friendly faces.
Seo-joon let out a smile and followed him inside.
The interior, which opened the door, was no different from before leaving.
It was even more tidy than before I left.
“Is everyone here?”
It was because none other than Youngseong (靈星) stayed here and took care of it.
“Master!”
At the voice of such spirituality, Lee Ha-yoon ran forward.
Young-seong stood up and greeted Lee Ha-yoon.
It was like seeing a grandmother and her granddaughter.
“Hey, did you do well? Are there any injuries?”
“yes! I’m fine!”
“Yes, you suffered.”
At Yeongseong’s words, Lee Ha-yoon smiled and looked away.
And Soo-yeon and Seo-yoon, who watched the scene.
“Ha-yoon unni… did you know you could make a face like that?”
“That’s right… I’m seeing it for the first time too.”
“But unnie, she’s so pretty when she smiles like that… She usually smiles a bit too.”
The two muttered with puzzled expressions.
Certainly, the image I see now is a little different from the image I had in the past.
Afterwards, Young Sung and Lee Ha-yoon exchanged a few more words and shared a meeting between teachers and students.
After such a short story, Young-seong came to the party.
“Are you guys hurt anywhere?”
“yes.”
“What are we…”
“No problem.”
In response to the answer that followed, Youngseong showed a proud expression.
“Everyone has worked really hard.”
At the words of such spirituality, the party could not hide their proud feelings.
A word from a cataclysmic hero.
What hunter in the world could not be proud of it.
Young-seong looked at the expressions of the party and slowly turned his gaze.
Then, his gaze stopped at Seo-joon, who was standing in a daze.
‘This child is…’
Youngseong stared blankly at Seojun.
With an honest heart, Young-seong tried to stop Seo-joon from going to Italy.
No grand reason was needed.
The death of Andrea, the cataclysmic hero.
All the reasons could be explained in this one sentence.
That’s why spirituality didn’t even know how to explain this feeling right now.
Youngseong looked at Seojun slowly.
‘I can’t even judge this child’s level anymore…’
I knew it was a crazy idea.
Young-seong, the hero of the cataclysm, knew that better than anyone else.
‘······’
That’s why spirituality didn’t come up with anything to say.
I just couldn’t figure out how to explain my feelings right now.
“I… Yeongseong-nim.”
At that moment, Seo-joon’s voice was heard.
Spirituality answered while shaking off the thoughts that were rushing in.
“Why?”
“It’s an unexpected request, but…”
After a brief moment of thought, Seo-joon spoke again.
“The money you promised last time…”
And a word that followed.
“If you could give me some now… I was afraid it wouldn’t work. I need something urgently… haha.”
Seo-joon scratched the back of his head, shyly avoiding his gaze.
also spirituality.
“·······”
I just couldn’t figure out how to explain my feelings right now.
#
The meeting, which was neither short nor long, came to an end.
The Dream Team was able to return to their normal routine.
Even if it was the same daily life as usual, it was all about training each other.
It was literally everyday, nothing grandiose.
However, there was one thing that was a little different from usual.
It was none other than that the training intensity of the team members had increased considerably.
On the outside, I pretended not to, but it seemed that what happened in Italy had stimulated me quite a bit.
It seemed that he desperately felt the need to develop further.
Anyway, in the scenery where everything goes back to its place.
Seo-joon was able to receive a whopping 35 billion in money from Young-seong.
In addition to the cost of saving lives the other day, 35 billion won plus lodging expenses.
To be honest, the word is 35 billion, but this was an enormous amount of money.
It was strange that Youngsung gave 35 billion won to me with his stupid words.
But is it because of Article 46 received from Italy?
“·······”
For some reason, Seo-joon only felt a deep sense of desolation.
no, not exactly.
[Imitation] – Seondo (仙桃).
<₩ 35,000,000,000>
It was because the 35 billion had evaporated together with the elixir again.
With this, Seo-joon’s balance is 0 won again.
“······ shit.”
Now I just don’t want to do anything beyond despondency.
“What if I earn it? This f*cking transcendent academy sucks it all up.”
I really didn’t want to do anything.
“ha···”
I really didn’t want to do anything.
Seo-joon really did it after a long time.
I was barely able to come to my senses.
Seo-joon sighed, calmed down, and grabbed the lead.
Seondo (仙桃), a fruit known to be eaten by freshmen as a heavenly peach.
And the reason why he immediately spent 35 billion to take the elixir was simple.
When Seo-joon barely cast the Thousand Moon Meteor Spear.
It was because there was something none other than Jecheon Daeseong said.
.
.
[Currently, at your level, the Celestial Moon Meteor Spear is overspec. It’s also a far-fetched overspec. Because the heavenly moon meteor spear is literally transcendent.]
[That’s why the recoil from using this is incredible. Existence itself may collapse. That’s why I have to take that recoil with magic.]
[Of course, even that would be absolutely impossible in a normal case… but since you use the magic of Samdanjeon (三丹田), it’s possible.]
[But keep in mind. Because it is literally only possible.]
[So, really steadily increase your magic whenever you get a chance.]
.
.
So, at Seo-jun’s current level, casting the Thousand Moon Meteor Spear barely once was the limit.
In order to increase the limit, it was necessary to take the elixir.
“Isn’t there a job where you can make a ton of money…”
It seemed that I would have to go round and round the dungeon right away from tomorrow.
Seo-joon sighed and bit Seon-do with trembling hands.
crunchy
The juice spreads in your mouth with a refreshing sound.
“Well… it tastes good.”
In fact, it wasn’t just delicious, it was ecstatic.
It is a fruit worth 35 billion won, but does it make sense that it has no taste?
crunchy
That way, 35 billion disappeared into Seo-jun’s body in less than a minute.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung…!!!
At the same time, a tremendous energy began to burst through Seo-jun’s body.
Seo-joon quietly closed his eyes and calmly captured the energy.
And, is it because the efficiency increased as the progress rate of the magic lecture increased?
But is it because the magic power increased as he continued to take the elixir?
Woe———————Evil!!
The wave of magical power that erupted from Seo-jun was several times higher than before.
Unsurprisingly, the eyes of spirituality were wide open at the creepy energy that suddenly burst out.
‘This, what is this…!!’
Young Sung couldn’t believe the reality of this aura.
A terrible aura bursting out to the point of numbness.
This made even Youngseong, the hero of the cataclysm, nervous for a moment.
“Seojun-san…?”
“Large, captain…?”
“What is your brother…”
“scared···”
And even the other team members stopped training and looked at Seo-joon’s energy bursting out.
But Seojun didn’t really care.
To be precise, it was right that there was no time to pay attention to the collapse that evaporated money.
‘How the hell is this…!!’
The surprised eyes of spirituality did not fade away easily.
And it wasn’t just a feeling felt by spirituality.
“This energy…!!”
An old voice from somewhere.
When I turned my head and looked at it, there stood a sword star I didn’t know when.
“Ha, Grandpa?”
Seoyoon shouted in surprise, but the swordsman didn’t answer.
I just put on a face that I couldn’t believe with my eyes wide open.
With the sudden appearance of the swordsman, the two heroes of the cataclysm were just staring at Seo-joon with their eyes wide open.
How much time had passed like that?
“Whoa…! Shall we just do this for today?”
Seo-joon, who had finished capturing the eolchu, slowly rose from his seat.
Maybe it was because the progress rate of the Magical Lecture had risen, but somehow the speed of capturing the energy seemed to be getting faster.
And the face of the sword star.
“what? Sword Master? When did you come?”
Seeing the sudden appearance of the Sword Master, Seo-Jun tilted his head and asked.
“What happened all of a sudden…? Oh, did you come because you were worried about Seoyoon?”
And at the repeated question, Geomseong was able to come to his senses.
A spirit that has not yet fully calmed down.
Swordsman turned his gaze and looked at Seoyoon standing to one side.
Perhaps because of her sudden appearance, Seoyoon opened her eyes in surprise and stood there blankly.
But that’s just because of the literal surprise.
Fortunately, there did not appear to be any major problems with the body.
‘Isn’t it swept away?’
A sigh of relief escaped involuntarily.
Swordsman turned his gaze away from Seoyoon.
And the place where the gaze was directed was none other than Suyeon.
Geomseong looked at Suyeon and slowly opened his mouth.
“I came to tell you something.”
“Yes, yes yes??? Me, me?”
Then Suyeon pointed her index finger to her chest.
A gaze focused on a moment.
“Why, why, why me…?”
Soo-yeon was very upset and did not know what to do.
And other people were just as bewildered.
That would also be the case because Geomseong and Soo-yeon were not matched at all.
In fact, the reason Geomseong came here was to check Seoyoon’s condition.
Even though he was the Sword Saint, he did not know the full story of the incident in Italy.
Of course, I couldn’t help but worry.
Still, fortunately, I was able to let go at the end of the news that it was finished well.
For some reason, even though Seoyoon returned from Italy, she did not come to visit her.
There wasn’t even a single phone call.
Feeling sad… I really couldn’t help it.
In the end, the swordsman couldn’t stand it and came to visit him directly like this for a suitable cause.
Even though it was not necessary for the swordsman to come, it was the reason why he had to come directly.
And that justification was appropriate enough that the Sword Saint would literally act directly.
“What happened to Soo-yeon all of a sudden…”
Along with the question of Seo-jun, who tilted his head, his eyes focused on the swordsman.
Before long, the words of the Sword Master were heard.
“The demon is in critical condition.”
