Chapter 29

Friday.

Germany’s E.S Guild sent an official apology to the Republic of Korea and paid compensation accordingly.

The world was taken aback by the sudden apology from the E.S Guild, but when the story became known, harsh criticism poured out towards Haxen Baldur.

The artillery commander ordered Haksen to stay away from the Republic of Korea and the vicinity of Park Hyunsoo, who had made an unreasonable trip.

However, the restraining order was subject to the condition that it would inevitably be lifted in a crisis situation in which an S-class hunter was urgently needed.

It is known that the E.S Guild separately compensated Park Hyunsoo for an apology, but it was not revealed what it was.

* * *

Park Hyunsoo was having a conversation with a middle-aged couple at the front door, not like someone who was about to attend a major event (?).

They had slightly terrified faces, and Park Hyunsoo didn’t know what to look for.

“Hey, you can sign here.”

A middle-aged couple owned this dilapidated mansion.

Park Hyunsoo lived in a semi-basement apartment there.

However, five days ago, the Haxen raid caused them to avoid direct and indirect damage.

The raid, which was carried out on Haxen’s account, did not harm the landlord’s family, but they were unaware of it.

The homeowner’s family was terrified.

It’s surprising that great people live in their houses, but once they’ve been in danger, they thought it was impossible to coexist.

So he asked Park Hyunsoo to get out.

It was also very courageous.

Park Hyunsoo was perplexed.

His house had a black hole leading to the field.

It wasn’t good to get caught on this, so he made the choice of buying a house.

What if the landlord and couple refused, but they immediately signed the contract as if it was better.

“thank you.”

“no. Me, us.”

As soon as the middle-aged couple signed the contract, they disappeared as if running away.

This dilapidated house now belongs to Park Hyunsoo.

The first house I owned was a dilapidated house like this.

Park Hyunsoo was both happy and a little sad.

[Isn’t it okay to have a house like this?]

“Well, it’s nice to have a house at this age.”

Although not in the center of Seoul, I bought and sold the entire building in Seoul, which was quite expensive.

Compared to before the beginning of the portal era, it was actually not a huge amount.

However, for a young man in his twenties, it was still hard to get money, and he was able to buy a house like this because he was a hunter.

Of course, it was ironic to think that hunters of the same class or below were living in a much better house than this.

“Do I have to live here for the rest of my life because of a black hole?”

Thinking like that made my bones go numb.

[If you don’t like it, you can build a new one.]

“New?”

[Isn’t this your house now? I have money on hand, what else can I not? If you bought a building, you also lived on the land, so what else can’t you do?]

The teacher’s words were natural, but Park Hyunsoo opened his mouth wide as if he had never thought of such a thing.

he was a citizen

He had rented a house with a full monthly rent of 300,000 won a month, and he had never even thought of building a new house.

I don’t know if I had planned such a thing from the beginning.

“Build a new one.”

[If possible, I would like it to be built in the form of a palace. The top room always has a wooden floor, the walls are white, and a dragon is drawn on the ceiling… … .]

“Even if we build a new one, we won’t make it!”

[son of a gun.]

Who’s house is going to be made into the residence of the Chinese emperor?

Even if you die and wake up, that will never happen.

‘I’ll be fine.’

When your little brother wakes up, he will love you if he has a nice house.

When I imagined that, a smile was naturally drawn on Park Hyunsoo’s lips.

“After work, I’ll have to find an architect first.”

Even because of the black hole, the house cannot be completely demolished.

So, I decided to do a remodel.

However, I was planning to leave the current living quarters as they are.

The black hole must not be discovered by anyone.

“It’s gathering time soon. We prepare quickly.”

[There is no need to prepare this seat?]

“Damn, that’s right.”

Park Hyunsoo grunted and entered the house.

* * *

Jaehyuk Choi, the owner of the Aegis Guild, checked his armed status.

He clutched the pale gauntlets of his hand.

Just by looking at it, it looked clunky and very heavy because it was large, but in reality, the gauntlet did not contain even 1g of weight.

It was one of the three effects of the B-class weapon type item ‘rock crushing’.

With Choi Jae-hyeok’s caress, countless enemies have been literally ‘crushed’ by this gauntlet.

It was both a monster and a person.

“great.”“Are you ready?”

“Let’s go right away. Your sister will be waiting for you.”

Choi Jae-hyuk smiled as he looked at his five subordinates who were waiting.

Today, help the Red Lion attack the fragments of paradise.

My heart was pounding.

How long have you been waiting for this moment

Finally, I was able to see the face with my own two eyes.

‘Park Hyunsoo!’

What Choi Jae-hyuk was waiting for was not an attack on the fragments of paradise.

To actually see Park Hyunsoo appearing there was what he had longed for.

That feeling has grown stronger since the Haxen invasion five days ago.

‘I survived against the S-class. It’s not just an S-class, I survived facing a white wolf! Alas – how wonderful this is! how strong how awesome How would your sister react when you crush his neck?’

A twisted smile spread across Choi Jae-hyuk’s face.

Just imagining it made my lower back bulge.

Ha Yu-rak warned himself not to touch Park Hyunsoo.

The warning was not false, he even added that if he really did, he would be prepared.

Of course, she had no intention of listening to her.

Rather, because she reacted that way, Jaehyuk Choi had no intention of quitting.

Jaehyuk Choi is a person who lacks something.

And that was part of the madness, turning Choi Jae-hyuk into a maniac.

The madness was not pushed back even compared to Haxen Baldur.

“I look forward to it.”

“We are also looking forward to it.”

“I think it will be very fun.”

And it was the same with his men.

* * *

Park Hyunsoo joined the Red Lion Guild headquarters.

The A-class hunters of the guild to be with were already prepared.

One of them found Park Hyunsoo and raised his hand.

“Oh, are you new?”

He was a man of some age, and his name was Myung-jin.

Park Hyunsoo looked at him and widened his eyes.

“Seo, Myung-jin Hunter.”

“haha. What is Hunter? It’s the same now.”

Myung-jin laughed out loud.

He had a warm-hearted impression, but he was a very famous hunter in Korea.

Although not a star hunter, he has personally saved many civilians in disaster-related events.

The number was close to a thousand, so it would be faster to find someone you don’t know.

He wasn’t the only one.

“Yo~ newbie~”

“Hunter Ha Jun-seong!”

It was Ha Jun-seong, a hunter who had tremendous recognition in Korea along with Myung-jin.

Contrary to his skinny appearance, he was a hunter with tremendous strength.

With that power, he also saved many citizens and attacked many portals.

He was even quite handsome, so he appeared frequently on television. He wasn’t even a star hunter, but in terms of recognition, he was a little higher than Jin Myeong.

“What about Hunter?”

“It is an honor to meet you.”

“It’s embarrassing. Nice to meet you too.”

“I’m counting on you.”

The two shook hands with Park Hyunsoo’s reaction as they were accustomed to it.

Ha Jun-seong let go of Park Hyunsoo’s hand and said.

“Before, the guild chief said that if you come, come to him.”

“all right.”

“You don’t have to be tough. From now on, we are part of the family.”

It was Myung Jin.

He tapped Park Hyunsoo’s forearm a few times and returned to his place.

“thanks for your effort.”

Ha Jun also put his hand on his shoulder and disappeared to the other side.

[Are you skilled?]

Chungyeong looked at the two and smiled faintly.

“It wasn’t like this when I saw S-class hunters.”

Was it because the S-class hunters were so tall?

Rather, seeing the Named Hunters who were close with ordinary people made his heart pound.

How does this feel when a fan meets a celebrity they like?

He’s never liked celebrities, but he probably did, Park Hyunsoo thought to himself.

* * *

As Park Hyunsoo headed to Ha Yu-rak’s office, he ran into a few more hunters, and each time he nodded his head with a face full of emotion.

Chungyeong did not like such a disciple.

[What are you doing?]

“What?”

[Why do everyone who sees bow their heads? What are you afraid of?]

“Oh no, why are you like that? It could be because of the fan spirit.”

[If you are a disciple of the main seat, you should not bow your head to anyone. keep in mind You are the heir of the Heavenly Demon who will lead the Heavenly Demon Church. Even if this land is not Moorim, you will always have to live with that thought in your head.]

“… … I’ll keep that in mind. sorry.”

Park Hyunsoo apologized after realizing that his just act had insulted his teacher, Chungyeong, who was the celestial horse of the time.

[You must be the head.]

“Yep.”

be the head

Those words meant that someday, they would have to become independent even in the Red Lions.

Park Hyunsoo had minimal courtesy to the hunters he met after that.

So he reached the top floor of the headquarters.

Park Hyunsoo knocked on his office door.

“This is Park Hyunsoo.”

“come in.”

As he entered the office, Ha Yoo-rak, who was unusually armed, greeted him.

“Come on.”

She wore a variety of rings on all of her ten fingers, and it felt more mysterious than flashy.

[I can feel various powers. It is a piece of equipment.]

“What about those rings?”

“It’s an item. They all have the effect of ‘amplification’.”

Simply put, it was an item that could increase the maximum output.

Park Hyunsoo imagined her using her force while wearing that ring of hers.

It was Hayu-rak, emitting tremendous flames and heat.

But what if we were to deal with a much greater power than we have now.

‘Ugh.’

Just imagining it makes me sweat.

“sit down.”

Ha Yoo-rak pointed to the other side.

Park Hyunsoo sat there and asked what he was doing.

“I heard you called.”

“Not great.”

Ha Yu-rak smiled lightly, then said with a smirk.

“Your power.”

“Yes?”

“What do you think?”

“Suddenly what… … .”

“You know. Your strength has far surpassed that of Class A.”

Ha Yu-rak pondered whether or not to say this before today.

Park Hyunsoo is no longer an A.

No, it wasn’t A-class before that.

On the day he was subjugating Lee Moo-gi, Ha Yoo-rak watched Park Hyunsoo fight from behind.

It seemed to be a temporary power, but it was definitely an Imoogi that was difficult to subdue with a single A-class hunter.

How was it this time?

He was not behind even against Haxen Baldur, one of the strongest among the S-Class.

Although Haksen didn’t do his best, the fact that he endured was proof that he had surpassed A-class.

“I don’t know why you were rated A. It could have been A-class back then, but now I can say for sure.”

“… … .”

“You are an S-class hunter.”

S-class Hunter.

She said that she heard the S-class hunter.

Park Hyunsoo didn’t just talk, he knew.

From the moment you first awakened until now.

I got a lot of power and achieved a lot of growth.

Chungyeong even described himself as ‘crazy’.

I thought that I had reached the S-class level immediately, and in this battle with Haksen, my thoughts changed to certainty.

“Our contract was until you became S-Class. Until then, I had decided to serve as a prop to protect you.”

However, Park Hyunsoo became like an S-class hunter, and if he immediately went to the association and re-measured, the contract would be cancelled.

“Why are you saying that?”

“Actually, I didn’t want to say anything. ‘Cause I’m the only one hurting Still, people have a conscience.”

Ha Yu-rak said as if muttering with a self-helpful expression on his face.

“I can’t force others to do well.”

Park Hyunsoo thought.

Ha Yu-rak has absolutely no talent for business.

If she weren’t an S-class hunter, she would have somehow been taken over by other hunters like this guild or disappeared.

Park Hyunsoo rubbed the back of his neck.

“Well, since you said it, it would be right to give you an answer.”

“Huh.”

On such an important day, I don’t know what to say.

Park Hyunsoo scratched his cheek, and he spoke the thought briefly.

“I’ve never done anything right here, so I think it’s a bit like going out.””Huh?”

“It’s kind of hard to go out. How long have you been contracting? You haven’t been able to get along with people yet, you haven’t been able to become a hunter and attack portals properly, and you haven’t been able to enjoy the guild welfare you want to enjoy.”

Above all, in the long run, there was a lot to learn from Ha Yu-rak as a hunter.

She’s one of the few S-class hunters in the world, so she’ll probably be able to show her some way to go.

“So it’s a little bit… … . Her conscience is quite pricked as she has received a down payment.”

At those words, Ha Yu-rak’s sharp eyes widened.

She squinted her eyes and opened her mouth.

“Then can I think that we can be together for a while?”

“what… … . Yes.”

“I’m counting on you.”

As if waiting for those words, Ha Yurak held out her hand.

As if she was preparing.

Park Hyunsoo looked at the hand and held it together with a grin.

The contract was definitely signed a month ago, but somehow it felt like I was actually part of the Red Lion now.

Ha Yurak smiled and got up from her seat.

“Then there is nothing more to worry about. let’s go right out It’s a little delayed Guild members will be waiting for you. Agent Park Hyunsoo to leave right away.”

The cautious attitude he had before had vanished out of nowhere.



Park Hyunsoo was a little squeamish about his appearance, but his superior’s orders were absolute.

“Yep.”

“More than that, you want to go out like that?”

As Park Hyunsoo answered and was about to leave, Ha Yoo-rak’s words stopped him.

“Why am I like this?”

“… … If you go to the first basement floor, you’ll find battle suits in your private locker. change clothes It’s an order.”

“Yep… … .”

Park Hyunsoo nodded his head and came out.

He then flinched to look at Chungyeong.

[Why?]

“No, I just bowed my head without realizing it.”

[You idiot. I mean don’t lean on anyone. Who are you to that wife?]

“… … .”

[Now that wife is your boss. You mean you’re holding your neck tight to your boss, right?]

“It’s difficult, it’s difficult.”

[It is difficult. It’s because your head is ugly.]

Park Hyunsoo and Chungyeong grumbled down to the first basement floor and changed into their battle suits in the lockers.

It wasn’t particularly surprising to see the combat uniforms worn by other guild members.

He went out right away, and found the hunters lined up.

They were clasping their backs and looking straight ahead.

[The flag is tight.]

Chungyeong glanced over at them with the expression “Jeong-jeok”.

As Park Hyunsoo was looking at them with a puzzled face, someone tapped him on the back.

“Ugh!”

“What are you doing, Park Hyunsoo. Run quickly to your seat!”

There, Yoo-Rak Ha was standing there with a face like a goblin.

It was the first time he had seen him, so Park Hyunsoo couldn’t help but be embarrassed.

“Jump!”

“Yes, yep!”

Park Hyunsoo ran to the designated place as soon as his order was issued and quickly backed up.

[Heh ha ha ha!]

And Chungyeong burst into laughter.

[Usually, I liked his dignity because he didn’t die, but now it’s different! Isn’t it like a female girl?]

heroine.

That word was the most appropriate to describe the current Ha Yoo-rak.

Ha Yu-rak is far from Yu-Yam because he has such a sharp impression, but his personality is a good fit for others, so he was a comfortable opponent.

But what about now?

“Today we are attacking ‘Fragments of Paradise’.”

Her voice was the same as usual, but the power it contained was enough to bring goosebumps to the back of her neck.

“It doesn’t take much to attack the shards of Paradise.”

She stared at her men with her red glowing eyes.

“With our strength, we will not need much. Got it!”

“Yes!”

“Your voice is low!”

“Yes!!”

The lioness slapped the palm of his hand with the baton he held in his hand, seemingly satisfied only then.

“Today we will win.”

“Yes!”

“let’s go!”

“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

The hunters, who consist only of A-class or higher, gave out a powerful shout.

Park Hyunsoo also shouted at the same time.

They headed to the West Sea, where there is a ‘fragment of paradise’.

And the attack began.
