chapter 15
Episode 15
In front of Hankuk University Hospital.
In front of him was a very rare sight.
The director of the hospital was waiting for someone in front of the hospital lobby.
People murmured.
“What? What happened to the hospital director?”
“Is the president coming?”
Kikki-
Soon, a luxury car stopped in front of the hospital.
Clap-
The door opened and a man got out.
The hospital director looked at him and lowered his head.
“Chairman Jeong Nam-cheol is here.”
“Long time no see. Hospital manager.”
He bowed his head too.
“I heard that my daughter Jeong Ha-yeon is being taken care of here.”
“Go inside. We will guide you.”
He was the head of the Hunter Association, which manages each and every hunter far beyond the human category.
If you leave the monstrous hunters alone, they will run amok and the world will become very chaotic.
To prevent their deviant behavior, I had no choice but to control them with much stronger power.
Jeong Ha-yeon’s father was the head of the Hunter Association, who took on that role.
If he went abroad, he was such a big man that he would report directly to the president of that country.
Soon, Nam-cheol Jeong arrived at Ha-yeon Jeong’s hospital room.
She smiled when she found her own father.
“Dad!”
“Is my daughter hurt badly?”
The eldest son-cheol said in a very soft voice.
“I wasn’t hurt too much. The doctor said it was just exhaustion from using too much mana.”
Ancheol Jang glanced back at the doctor behind him.
“..Ah..N..Yes, that’s right.”
The doctor stuttered nervously.
“More than that, Dad.”
“Huh? Why? My daughter?”
“Your brother went on a business trip to the US right now. Are you doing well there?”
Jeong An-cheol smiled and said.
“Of course not. Our daughter Whose son is he?”
Jung Ha-yeon’s older brother is now active as a hunter.
He is making tremendous achievements to the extent that everyone considers him a talented person who will succeed the chairman of the association, Ahn-Cheol Jang.
“…Hey Ha Yeon-ah.”
Ancheol Jang said with a very serious expression.
“Huh? What’s the matter?”
Ancheol Jang was looking at her trembling fingers.
Anyway, because of what happened today, it seems that my heart still hasn’t calmed down.
“Yeonah Ha. Hunters aren’t the only ones with a path..”
As a hunter, you must never back down no matter how strong a demon or monster appears.
For the safety of the citizens, it is the Hunter who has to jump into a fight where he is sure to die.
I didn’t want to make such a small daughter walk such a rough road.
Jeong Ha-yeon nodded as if she understood Jung An-cheol’s intention.
“But, I want to become a good hunter like you.”
Ang Ancheol Jung laughed at those words.
He was always away from home because of his busy work.
So, only she and her brother were left in her house all the time.
That’s why their relationship was much stronger than other siblings.
Her For her, her older brother, whom she grew up with from a young age, was her spiritual support and a milestone in her life.
“Yes. I can’t help it if you want to.”
Jeong An-cheol smiled bitterly.
If it is a daughter, she will give her best support.

Numerous buildings rising in Seoul.
Among them, there was an exceptionally large building.
It was the office building of the ‘Crystal’ guild, the No. 1 Guild right now.
The highest peak of the office building.
In a room marked [‘Crystal Guild Leader’ Private Room]’, Two women were sitting facing each other.
“Hyeyeon?”
Hayoon Kim, the guild master of the Crystal Guild, said.
“…Yes…Your guild leader”
Standing in front of her, Hyeyeon Jin continued to fidget with her fingers as if she was anxious.
“So you didn’t lead the children of ‘Elpon’ Academy and just let them go, saying it was a free trip?”
“……Yes”
“Ha…. Hyeyeon.”
Kim Ha-yoon let out a deep sigh.
She came to the guild she is running, and the students of the academy came to experience learning.
Then, from that moment on, the safety of the students becomes the responsibility of the guild.
By the way, today’s mine runaway incident. Two children were involved in the incident.
If even one person had died there, it was clear that the ‘Crystal’ guild would have been heavily criticized.
Fortunately, no one was seriously injured.
“Hyeyeon-ah.”
“Yes..Yes! Guild leader.”
“What did you say were the names of the students who got caught up in the mine attack this time?”
“Nam Do-yoon and Jeong Ha-yeon are students.”
“Ummm… “
Jeong Ha-yeon’s father is Jeong An-cheol, the president of the association.
A very difficult character to deal with.
However, for some reason he didn’t want this incident to be known to the outside world.
“Have you researched Nam Do-yoon?”
“Yes. I did a search, but there is no record at all. The parental relationship has not been confirmed.”
“Umm, then it’s fine.”
Kim Ha-yoon grinned.
The biggest stumbling block to covering up this case was Chairman Jeong An-cheol.
By the way, seeing that he is also quiet, he seems to be able to cover this incident quietly.
“Let’s divide the compensation of 5 million won from ‘Mine’ to the two of us, and let’s move on with this case.”
“Yes. All right. Guild leader.”
“More than that, Hyeyeon.”
“Yes?”
“What were you looking at?”
Kim Ha-yoon pointed at the laptop in her hand and said.
“Ah.. This is nothing special, this is a CCTV video taken on the day of the incident. I was also going to watch it from now on.”
“Really? Show me one more time. I was curious too.”
“Yes. All right.”
Kim Ha-yoon looked at the laptop in front of her desk.
10 Minutes.
20 Minutes.
30 Minutes.
“……”
Time passed, but she continued to stare blankly at the laptop video.
“…? Guild leader?”
Jin Hye-yeon said with a questionable expression.
“… Hey. Ha Yeon-ah.”
“Yes?”
“Come and look at this.”
Jin Hye-yeon approached her side.
She and she started watching the video together.
The video was when Jung Ha-yeon was aiming an arrow at her mana and gathering all her mana.
That moment. Mine moved in front of Jeong Ha-yeon.
It’s fast enough to be said to be like teleportation.
And without hesitation, Mine swung her terrifying hand toward Jeong Ha-yeon’s face.
Hyeyeon Jin swallowed her saliva.
No matter how you look at it, the first thing you could see was Jeong Ha-yeon’s head being blown off by her hand that she swung.
By the way, the report said Jeong Ha-yeon’s arrow killed Ma-in.
What the hell happened?
“Huh?”
Hyeyeon Jin tilted her head.
“Isn’t the video stopped?”
It was because her arm, which she was swinging, had suddenly stopped.
At that, Kim Ha-yoon shook her head.
“No. Hyeyeon, take a good look here. Jeong Ha-yeon’s arrows are constantly gathering mana.”
“Ah… “
It was so strange.
That devil continued to watch Jeong Ha-yeon’s arrow gather mana.
In a stopped state.
The moment when all the mana was concentrated in Jeong Ha-yeon’s arrow.
Wedge-
Jeong Ha-yeon’s arrow pierced the demon’s body and destroyed the demon.
Main stood still even as the arrows came towards him.
As if his movements were restricted by something.
“…Why did the mine suddenly stop?”
Hyewon Jin tilted her head.
Kim Ha-yoon pointed at a man in the CCTV.
“This is the man.”
“Yes!?”
The one she pointed to was Nam Do-yoon.
In the ‘Elpon’ Academy, the entrance grade was 500th out of 500 students, the lowest overall.
Besides, he was not from any family.
A man who makes you wonder how he got into the ‘Elpon’ academy.
“But, no matter how you look at it, that man just stood still.”
Jin Hye-won said.
From the start of the battle, the man just watched the battle between Jeong Ha-yeon and Ma-in.
He didn’t make any moves.
It was questionable that he was a student at ‘Elpon’ Academy.
“Hyewon. Do you know Mana flows through humans, but demons flow through demons.”
“Yes. I know.”
“You know that if you can control the mana that flows through a person, you can also restrict their movements, right?”
“Of course. Isn’t that what you learn in the academy class?”
“Then did you know that you can control the magic that flows to demons?”
“…I know that in theory it is. However, mana and magic are so different that no one can control them… “
“Yes. I thought so too. Until I met the dragon”
“…Yes!?”
“I have seen it. An existence that controls demons.”
Dragon are beings who have mastered all the knowledge in this world.
They do not grow old, do not die, and live by accumulating knowledge for a very long time, over several thousand years.
The knowledge they possess far exceeds the human category.
“I happened to see a dragon fighting a demon when I entered a dungeon.”
“!!!”
Hyewon Jin widened her eyes.
That’s right, dragons are extremely reluctant to expose themselves to the outside world, so they may or may not be seen by people once every 100 years.
“There I saw the same thing. Seeing the demons stop for a moment and die from being hit by the dragon’s breath.”
“…Could it be so?”
“Right. I took the same action as the demon who suddenly stopped in front of this man.”
“Ah… “
Only then did Jin Hye-won burst into her sigh.
That man wasn’t just standing still and watching the fight between Jeong Ha-yeon and Ma-in.
Just as you have to interfere with a person’s mana to twist the flow of magic, that man was interfering with the devil’s magic and twisting the flow of magic.
“Hyewon.”
“Yes.”
“I can’t just skip this. I need to open the guild storage.”
“…Really?”
“You can’t give such a talented person the impression that he is petty. That way, it will be advantageous when scouting later. You know what I mean?”
“Yes. All right.”

Nam Do-yoon, Jeong Ha-yeon, and the homeroom teacher are invited to the ‘Crystal’ guild, and are on their way to the ‘Crystal’ guild office by car.
That’s because he received the privilege of taking out the items he wanted from the warehouse of the No. 1 Guild ‘Crystal’ guild.
Beside them, Nam Do-yoon and Jung Ha-yoon were making faces full of anticipation.
The homeroom teacher shook her head.
Surely, there are a lot of great treasures sleeping in the warehouse of the ‘Crystal’ guild, the No. 1 Guild.
Among them, there were items that cost tens of millions of won for just one weapon.
However, there are only 1 out of 100 such items.
The rest are just items that cost several hundred thousand won.
I have an eye for choosing good things, but the students couldn’t have such an eye.
In fact, children are only going to get a few hundred won.
“You can go here.”
As I entered the guild office, a guide came out.
He guided the three of them towards the guild’s warehouse.
“Come on. Here it is.”
The guide soon led the three people in front of a huge iron gate.
Coo goo goo-
Soon the big iron door opened.
There were a lot of things piled up like a mountain inside.
“It only takes 5 minutes. There is only one item to choose from. Oh. Could the homeroom teacher step back?”
This was to prevent the homeroom teacher from tipping them off so that they could pick out the good stuff.
Jeong Ha-yeon tilted her head.
“No matter how much I look at it, I don’t know what’s good?”
However, from the side, Nam Do-yoon was grinning.
“I will eat well.”
