Chapter 16

“How is the guild aid?”

“Considering the dungeon grade, we requested assistance from the Eternal Guild and the Guardian Spirit Guild. Both the guild leader and the deputy guild leader of each guild will participate.”

The atmosphere around the office that was full of fear relaxed after Do Junyoung’s remarks.

The Eternal guild was the un-changing top guild in Korea, and the Guardian Spirit guild was mostly composed of healers and wizards, so the combination of the two guilds could be said to be the best in Korea.

‘……So, the guild with the deputy leader who cries for a resignation, and the guild with a guild-leader who likes to go sightseeing.’

Seora, who saw their true faces in the S-Rank community, could not hide her displeasure.

Shit. If she hadn’t known anything, she would have admired them with everyone else.

Seora looked at those who were admiring the dispatched with a nervous face, dissing their taste buds.

“A grade 2 dungeon…… It’s the first time I’ve seen one while working.”

Gong Haeyeon muttered in a terrified voice. Seora comforted her by patting her back since she could understand her heart.

So far, there had only been a total of two grade 2 dungeons in Korea, each one causing great damage.

Still, the second time was around when the association and the guilds had started establishing themselves to some extent, so it was better……

When the first grade 2 dungeon appeared, it was like hell.

Even though it was 12 years ago, many people remembered that time.

The civil servants who nervously bit their lips didn’t look very good.

And when the dispatch team arrived at the scene and Seoul Forest appeared on the screen of the situation room, everyone was shocked.

“……What is that?”

The size of the gate that filled the screen was unusually large.

It felt suffocating even if they were only looking at it through a screen. How on earth can they manage to attack something so overwhelming?

People’s faces were once again filled with fear.

Even if the attack was successful, if the result of the raid failed, Seoul might come to an end.

“……What should we do?”

Gong Haeyeon muttered without realising and grabbed Seora’s arm.

Seora who was similarly bewildered started comforting her after recalling the relaxed emoticon sent by the administrator.

“It’s okay. They said that the Eternal and Guardian spirit would be together. They are strong people, so let’s believe in them.”

After reawakening, she had already seen 5 S-Ranks up close.Because she had checked all their skills she believed in them.

If it was them, they would be enough to attack that dungeon.

“It’s a grade 2 dungeon. Something unpleasant comes to mind.”

At that moment, an alluring voice filled with anger rang out. Everyone who was staring blankly at the screen turned around.

It came from Song Hanna, the president of the association, who was dressed in a perfect suit and was looking at the screen.

“Association President……!”

“Association President, are you also going to the raid?”

Song Hanna, the unofficial number 1 in the domestic ranking.

However, she rarely went to attack dungeons herself.

As the association president, her role was to always prepare for the worst.

In other words, when she steps in, it would mean that the worst had come.

It was only natural that the people were instantly frightened.

“Huh? No, no.”

But Song Hanna waved her hand saying not to worry.

“I just came here to take a closer look. The screen here is the largest in the association.”

Reassuring her staff, she swept her chin and looked at the gate on the screen.

“I can’t say for sure since I’m only seeing it with my eyes, but I don’t think there’s anything to be afraid of. Even though the gate is big, I don’t think it will be as bad as the first or second Grade 2 dungeon.”

At Song Hanna’s assertion, the atmosphere around the office eased at once.

The words of the longest surviving S-Rank in Korea was reliable.

“Of course, because it’s grade 2 it’s still dangerous. That’s why there is one problem right now…… Well, yes. Hunter Yoon Seora?”

She opened her eyes wide once the gaze of Song Hanna reached her. Hanna pointed to the screen with a vague face.

“I’m sorry, but Seora needs to go over there.”

“……Yes?”

Where?

“I’m not asking you to go into the dungeon, just go and bring an item to Chief Do.”

Uh, she didn’t think of such a development.

Somehow, she got the chance to see the Grade 2 dungeon up close it seems.

***

After Seora checked that she had the items Song Hanna asked for, she immediately understood why she had to be the one to take it there.

It was none other than the Grade S that Do Junyoung used only when he was attacking dungeons.

‘No, how do you go to a dungeon without your weapon? It’s an S grade dungeon too!’

Seora, who received the sword, lost all her strength. Song Hanna put on an embarrassed expression.

‘He is disguised as an A rank, so he usually attacks with weapons of the same grade. There is a saying that a famous pen doesn’t cover its brush. Of course, he always had S-Grade weapons in his inventory, but I guess he left them for reinforcements recently.’

Seora touched her forehead. Wasn’t this basically like going into a dungeon naked?

No matter how urgent the situation was, she didn’t know why he was so reckless.

‘Am I the only one among the people in the association that knows that he is an S-rank? All right. I’ll go.’

Since Song Hanna shouldn’t recklessly leave the association, Seora readily agreed.

“Then why did he have to disguise himself as an A-rank?”

S-Rank Seora, disguised as an F-rank, grunted, took off her sneakers and changed into her combat boots.

Song Hanna had taken care of it, and it was an equipment that would increase someone’s speed significantly.

“It definitely makes my feet lighter. It is also an A-grade item, I will arrive at Seoul Forest in no time.”

She stood on the roof of the building and looked in the direction of the Seoul Forest.

From afar, a wave of magical power was transmitted little by little. Even though it was quite a distance, you could feel it all the way here.

This was the magic of a Grade 2 dungeon.

It was pretty creepy. If she had her old F-Rank body instead of S-Rank her legs would have lost strength pretty quick. She would have to pretend she was scared once she got there.

“Then let’s go.”

Seora tapped the floor with the front of her boots and smashed the rooftop.

With the ankle items that were equipped with instant haste ability, and the combat boots ability to increase base speed combined, Seora’s body began moving at a terrifying speed.

A delightful laugh burst out of her mouth as she felt like she was flying through the sky.

“Oh, this is great!”

The ground looked small like a toy. If she hadn’t become an S-rank, she would have never felt this refreshing feeling.

Her heart was overwhelmed at the feeling that her life really had turned upside down.

【Administrator: ε=ε=(⊃≧□≦)⊃】

Together with the administrator’s emoticon, Seora lightly kicked the roof of the building again and flew into the air.

Although the dungeon was getting closer, she was just as excited as a child.

She no longer felt afraid.

***

It took only 10 minutes to run from City Hall Station where the association was located to Seoul Forest.

Even if you went by car, it would take close to an hour, but her S-rank ability combined with the items was truly amazing.

Seora, who flew around like a madman and quickly arranged her hair and clothes, and ran towards the gate without delay

“Chief Do!”

“Yoon Seora?!”

Jeong Taeseok and Shin Jaemin were astonished. However, Seora didn’t have enough time to give them an explanation.

“Where are you, Chief Do? The president of the association said that I have to deliver the weapon quickly!”

Seora’s lips trembled as if she was too scared and afraid.

Regardless, she looked at the two of them with a firm gaze, as if she was trying to put up with it.

She was fortunate enough to have a smokey face making the two people worry about her.

“Give it to me. I’ll take it to him right away, Yoon Seora, don’t go any closer and go back right now.”

‘Oh, I can’t. I want to see more.’

She wanted to see the area more, but Taeseok was stubborn in his protection. Seora clicked her tongue in regret.

“Excuse me. I’m sorry to have accidentally overheard your conversation, but I think I can help.”

The three of them turned around in surprise at the polite and calm voice that came out in a moment.

Standing there was a man with light brown hair and more translucent eyes.

He was a handsome man who looked very young, but they all knew this subtle man’s age was difficult to guess.

“E-Eternal Guild Leader.”

It was Jueun, the guild leader who leads Eternal, one of the top guilds in Korea.

“I think that’s Chief Do’s weapon, right?”

When Jueun pointed at the weapon she was holding, Seora nodded her head in embarrassment.

“Oh, yes! The president of the association asked for it to be delivered.”

“I See……”

A strange realization flashed through his eyes for a moment. Jueun immediately nodded his head and held out his hand.

“Thank you for your hard work. If it’s ok with you, I’ll pass it on to him. It’s dangerous for you to get any closer, so leave it to us from now on.”

She was moved by the polite attitude of the eternal guild leader.

The reason why she liked the Eternal Guild the most was because of Jueun’s elegant atmosphere.

……But then why did the deputy leader act like that?

Seora glanced behind him, but Kangseo, the deputy guild leader, was nowhere to be seen. Somehow she felt relieved.

“H-here it is. Well then, I will trouble you, Eternal Guild Leader.”

Seora handed Do Junyoung’s sword that was wrapped in cloth to Jueun.

As if he knew well to not entrust this kind of weapon to anyone else, Jueun carefully accepted it.

“For the sake of everyone’s safety, we will definitely attack the grade 2 dungeon. Do not worry.”

After bowing politely, Jueun headed straight to the gate.

Seora’s eyes were wide open as she looked at his back.

‘How can you be so handsome? Indeed, you are a handsome man overflowing with the dignity of a leader who leads the domestic top-one guild.”

【Administrator: (๑و • ̀Δ ́•)و!!!】

But why was the administrator like this again?

【Administrator: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻】

‘Why are you so angry?’

She didn’t think she thought that much, so why was he suddenly angry?

However, it was very difficult to understand what was going through the administrator’s mind since he only communicated with emoticons.

“Seora-ssi, just go back.”

“Yeah, then I’ll ask you to come back.”

Being greedy and entering the grade 2 dungeon was not a possibility here, so Seora quietly retreated.

Of course, she didn’t forget to perform a hot performance of staggering as if her legs were loose until the end.

Hearing Jeong Taeseok and Shin Jaemin’s regrets from behind, Seora grew more and more confident in her acting.

Perhaps she had some talent in this?
