“It’s been a while, Jae-hyun.”

A soft voice is heard, and a beautiful smile settles on her lips.

Seeing that, I thought I was lucky.

Because.

This smile is a painting that can’t be easily found anywhere else.

In official settings, she rarely shows emotions, and when meeting people, she’s often evaluated as cold due to her unique atmosphere.

Yet, only in front of me, she would.

Often show such a smiling face.

‘She’s so pretty when she smiles...’

Of course, she’s beautiful even normally.

But when she smiles, it feels like her usually cold aura is melting away.

A flower blooming in the snow.

Is there a phrase that could describe her more perfectly?

Her main rune [Snow Plum Blossom] suits her better than anyone else.

Like a flower blooming beautifully in a snow field, she seemed to shine nobly alone.

It was my master, Yoo Eun-seol, whom I hadn’t seen in what felt like months.

“Hmm... Has it been so long that you won’t even greet me?”

“Ah...!”

Her lips part again, and I hear what sounds like a playful reproach.

Only then did I realize that I had been staring blankly at my master without responding.

“I’m, I’m sorry, Master.”

“Were you lost in thought?”

“No, just...”

I scratched my head as I answered.

“Your smile is so pretty, Master... So I was just thinking it would be nice if you smiled more often.”

I thought about making an excuse but decided to be honest.

After all, if it’s Master...

She’d probably see through such a small lie right away.

“...What?”

But it seems Master’s thoughts were different.

She couldn’t hide her surprise at my words.

I could see her gaze wavering and her body trembling slightly.

I inwardly scolded myself as if hitting my own head.

‘Ah, why did I say such an unnecessary thing...’

I should have just made some excuse.

It’s been so long since we met, I worried she might think it strange.

“Ahem. You said you went to Russia this time, right?”

So I quickly cleared my throat and changed the subject.

After conquering <Transcendent’s Chamber: Canales> with me, Master had been traveling around domestically and abroad.

With just one purpose.

To find ways to develop her rune from various angles.

Even though she’s already at the pinnacle of skill in certain areas, reached S-grade Holder status, and gained all the honor... She constantly strived to elevate herself to higher levels.

Perhaps this initial mindset and passion is why she receives so much respect from domestic Holders.

Anyway, this time Master had briefly gone to Russia and returned today.

“Ah... Yes. Though there wasn’t much gain.”

Master, who had been briefly flustered, quickly regained her composure.

Her usual cold-like atmosphere returned.

But after seeming lost in thought for a moment...

She soon smiled slightly and said to me, “It seems Jae-hyun has been up to quite big things while I was away?”

...Somehow, it looks like a very awkward smile.

Is she smiling because of what I said earlier?

‘...This level of delusion is a sickness.’

I shook my head to clear away such idle thoughts.

“Yes. I’ve had quite a headache because of it lately.”

“For something like that, your clan members seem quite impressive? You even brought along colleagues who had worked with me for a long time.”

...

The news of the master’s new clan membership spread quickly and made headlines.

The fact that the pinnacle of the assassin class, who had only aimed for solo play until now, was joining a clan, and a newly created one at that, provided quite a fresh shock.

And that’s not all.

Veteran clan members who have been active solo for a long time.

Second-year students are called the golden generation and have various promising talents....

There were quite a lot of anticipated resources.

Even though it was a new clan, a force that couldn’t be ignored was being completed.

And along with that.

Expectations for our clan were rising from various places.

“Then I’ll declare the establishment right from tomorrow and prepare so that we can start activities.”

“Thank you for your assistance, Mr. Chairman.”

“Haha. No need for such words. If we’re talking about who received help, the association received much more.”

The clan establishment, which was in the planning stage, entered the concrete stage.

The list of recruited clan members, selection of civilian staff, setting up internal departments, short-term operation plans, etc...

We finished the very basic stage of clan composition and completed all related meetings with the Academy and the Holder Association.

The preparations were done, and all that was left was to make the declaration.

The implementation happened in an instant.

Especially thanks to Professor Tak Won-ho, who had been preparing for this longer than I had, our clan’s establishment proceeded quite quickly and concisely.

-Do Jae-hyun establishes a clan! The name is <Evil Hunter>...

-<Evil Hunter> finally unveiled, what path will it take?

-Scouts from each clan unanimously say, “A historic new clan.”

...

...

The clan name was decided as <Evil Hunter>.

Directly translated, it means ‘a hunter who punishes evil’, which carried on the banner of <Anti-Villain> which could be seen as the clan’s predecessor, and also encompassed our clan’s first goal of pursuing the Ludenark Sect.

‘...Actually, it’s named because of the Rune Hunter, though.’

There’s also a hidden meaning.

The fact that the name was created centered on the ‘hunter’ of my main rune [Rune Hunter].

Since [Rune Hunter] is a rune not yet revealed to the world, no one knows about this meaning... But it was quite a meaningful name in that it’s a clan created directly by my power after experiencing all the events so far.

“Luckily, we also quickly found a clan tower.”

<Evil Hunter>’s clan tower was completed centered on a building near the Academy.

Originally, it would have taken an enormous amount of time to acquire the site and build the interior, but fortunately, there was a site and building nearby that was being converted into a clan tower, so we were able to finish by purchasing this.

The clan that owned the building was <Dragon Sword>.

For some reason, they passed on the building, which was already nearing completion, to our clan at a very reasonable price.

-We’re quite late, so this much is necessary to catch up. If it were up to me, I’d like to give the building as a gift, but... There will be views from the outside... Anyway, I hope this opportunity will make us closer.

Song Do-hyuk, whom I first met at the friendly clan agreement.

He threw such a puzzling remark while trading the clan tower.

What’s late, and what are they catching up to....

As expected, S-grade Holders seem to have one quirky aspect each.

Anyway, thanks to <Dragon Sword>’s goodwill, our clan was able to quickly obtain a quite magnificent and splendid clan tower.

“Really... I’ve created a clan, haven’t I?”

The large building I face standing in front...

The so-called EH Tower...

‘Our clan’s’ clan tower.

Only after taking this in with my eyes does it finally feel real.

The moment everyone doubted, and even I thought impossible.

It has finally become a reality.

<Evil Hunter>.

A clan I established directly with my own power.

From today, I was the master of this clan.
