Seol's daily routine begins at 6 a.m.
Rub your sleepy eyes, get up from the bed mattress in the corner of the living room and take a shower.
Do-joon said he could sleep in the living room, but Seol refused. I thought I was living on top of it's a living situation.
flutter flutter
After taking a shower, Seol Yoon-hee took out a corrugated bag that was stuck between the bookshelves.
Admission guide from the National Hunter Academy.
That was good enough.
"······휴우."
attached between the entrance guidelines, .
It is required to deposit 'tuition fees' including equipment rental fees, instructor fees and other facility maintenance costs by the end of this month. It was a national subsidy, so the amount decreased.
It was a mere fifty million won.
If tuition is not deposited by the above date, admission may be canceled or suspended.
"How can I tell you this?"
50 million won, not even a few million won.
As Seol Yoon-hee, who knew how much Do-jun's salary was, she couldn't easily bring it up.
It is also thankful that he accepted the fact that he had no place to go.
However, there is less than a week left until the announced date.
Beep beep!
"Oh. Time already."
7 a.m.
If he didn't prepare breakfast, there could be a situation where Do-jun had to starve.
In a hurry, she left the papers in her seat and walked to the kitchen.
* * *
7:20 a.m.
Getting out of bed, Dojun came out to the living room and was walking straight to the sink, when he found a pile of papers lying on the floor. Then I picked up the document and read it slowly.
"Oh, he's up. Father, ·····. Argh!"
Seol Yoon-hee ran to Do-jun in a hurry, screaming.
Then Do-jun jerked out the document he was reading and raised his eyes.
"Bo, have you seen it?"
"Yes. You mean the entrance notice? What are you hiding?"
Seol Yun-hee breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had not seen Do-jun's urging.
Then he hid the document behind his back and gave a clumsy smile.
"Nothing. Oh, I'm done with the meal, so eat it."
"Yes. I'll wash up and eat. Thank you."
"Hehe. No. Of course I have to."
bound by a contract
The relationship between father and daughter.
Dojun nodded and entered the sink.
* * *
Tuk tuk.
Dojun checked the balance of his bank account on his smartphone.
818,070 won.
In his previous life, Dojun worked for about a year and didn't save a little.
I order delivery food every day, drink beer.
the result of not doing a little bit of frugality
Furthermore, starting this month, Seol Yoon-hee has increased her living expenses.
After deducting monthly rent, food, transportation, telecommunications and utilities, nothing fell on my hands.
Entrance fees are not even in the contract anyway.'
Dojun shut down the screen on his smartphone and turned his eyes to the computer monitor screen.
I tried to concentrate on my work again.
But, why?
I couldn't get my hands on the work.
Unknowingly, he wrote 'loan' in the portal search box and typed in the entry.
And I could tell.
It is impossible to borrow as much as 50 million won from Dojun.
Of course it was possible to use third-tier financial institutions, but it would not be able to cover murderous interest.
with a dash
Dojun, who was preparing import details such as Goblin's Mana Stone and Body, which he acquired while exploring a grade F crack with Cha Ye-ji, was slightly surprised to see the total amount. About 2 million won.
All the by-products that came out of the crack monster were paid to the contracted hunter, which was of course quite large for Dojun, who was paid 3 million won a month.
"How much is the Mana Stone of a monster of Class A?'
Dojun searched the Mana Stone unit price table by grade, and was surprised.
Unlike Class F, which costs 50,000 won per unit, the unit price increased exponentially as the rating went up.
The Mana Stone of Class B is about 30 million won.
'That's why they're all going to be hunters. Class A, 억··· 2. 200 million?'
If you hunt just one.
Seol's admission fee can be solved at once.
But Dojun couldn't do that.
'If you enter the breach, you'll be on record.'
It was not difficult in itself to enter the crack.
It was stipulated that public officials in the crack management department could freely enter any crack.
Whether it's class B or class A. Whether it's an S class or not.
But there was no such precedent.
Class B, I mean, it was strictly, implicitly, the Hunter Administration's territory.
'In addition to that'
Enter and catch the monster.
It was good up to that point. It wasn't hard to catch a monster.
But if there's a rumor going around.
Right now, "normal" public life ends.
'······지긋지긋하다.'
To get attention from people around you.
It was a very tiring job.
There was no reason for the term "silver goose" to emerge.
Dojun had lived more fiercely than anyone else in the midfield.
And when it reached its zenith, the attention of everyone in the world had been directed to itself.
It was so tiring.
It's nothing.
Dojun suddenly remembered what Seol Yoon-hee said in the morning.
I lied because I didn't want to burden you.
It wouldn't have been any worse if I asked for money directly.
"That's why I didn't want to be attached."
Dojun opened the drawer with his tongue clapping.
Then he took out a Hunter ID card that said F.
The dust is piled up,
A temporary pass card that is no longer used.
In the past, when the crack management department was newly established, it was distributed under consultation with the Hunter Administration for crack access by public officials.
with a tap
Dojun accessed the Saeol administrative system and entered the 'Hunter Management' tab.
'Just this once.'
To keep from getting caught.
One F-hunter belonging to the Crack Management Division will be added.
A fictional character who will enter the crack on his behalf.
* * *
Saturday morning.
Dojun got up at 6 a.m.
Then he approached Seol Yun-hui sleeping in the corner of the living room, covered her up straight with a blanket that had been swept down, and crept to keep her from breaking and took off a note from the refrigerator.
I'll be back from work.
Put it on the handle of the refrigerator so that you can see well.
Shrinky jeans, stretched gray hoodie.
After wearing the hood over deeply.
Swoosh.
I wore a white mask on my face.
And I opened my smartphone and looked at the location of class A crack, which I put in the photo box. The entrance of Guryongsan Mountain, located in Yeomgok-dong, Seocho-gu.
It was possible to arrive in an instant using light attack, but it was not possible, considering that it was detected by Hunter Administration when the Chunma Sword was activated.
'I'll take a taxi.'
Considering the distance, the taxi fare would be at least 20,000 won.
Considering the income to catch a dark ogre, that was the price of gum.
a gain in talent
Thick.
With the door closed.
After a while, Seol Yun-hee slowly opened her eyes.
Then Seol Yoon-hee, who woke up from the matri, took the note from the refrigerator and looked at it.
"It's the weekend."
Looking at the tightly closed gate.
I felt sorry without realizing it.
And I once again vowed never to talk about tuition.
* * *
Vroom.
A taxi that dropped Dojun at the entrance of Guryongsan ran out along the road.
Dojun activated the map application to confirm his position.
Then I began to walk towards this point.
a restricted area
There were bars with no sign of entry.
And if you look away along the iron bar, you can see the door locked in a little distance.
Dojun walked to the door and put his Hunter ID card on the door lock.
Hunter Kim Hyun-woo has been confirmed.
The door opens,
Dojun entered Guryongsan Mountain.
Early in the morning, less than 8 a.m.
Heoobuck.
Did he walk for about 20 minutes?
Dozens of meters of space were torn up into the sky.
In the case of class C or lower, or general cracks, the Hunter Management Bureau staff and military were stationed, but not from the major cracks. So he didn't even print his fingerprints. If I just put my ID card on it, I could enter the building in a big way.
Hunter Kim Hyun-woo has been confirmed.
Warning! Cracks are too difficult compared to Hunter Rank. Still, if you want to enter, please give me another card.
Beep.
* * *
a shady swamp
A waterside full of dried, twisted trees and algae.
The glimmer of moonlight flushed down the floor, and it was dark as a whole.
Pudduck!
Several birds flew past Dojun's front, flying up into the sky.
Dojun closed his eyes and showed his feeling.
I could feel the monster's supposed energy from all sides.
Hunter of Class F, Kim Hyun-woo.
He entered Guryongsan Mountain without knowing anything, entered the A-class division without knowing anything, and came out again in fear.
'I'm sure one of them won''
Do-jun, who drew the scenario in his head, walked forward.
But it was then.
The entrance to the crack cracked.
Three people appeared.
Swoosh.
Dojun looked back.
* * *
"······누구지?"
Han Dong-hyun frowned and glanced at the hooded person.
It was difficult to identify him because he wore a white mask with only a perforated eye and was dark due to the nature of the swamp. But one thing for sure.
"Is he crazy?"
Even though we're in the middle of a big rift.
He wasn't even wearing a suit.
Besides, there was no weapon in my hand.
He should have been a hunter who knew his face to the point of entering the A-class rift.
But jeans, hoodies, masks.
Never seen, never heard of.
"I'm Han Dong-hyun of the Mezai guild. You?"
"·········."
"You don't want to be told? Did you know where you are?"
Dojun sighed.
Now that the situation is like this, it doesn't work to say that he came in without knowing anything and left right away.
I thought I'd leave the crack as it is, but it was a waste of time to do so.
"I know."
"Are you, Hunter? Don't you know that coming in that outfit is like committing suicide?"
"Thank you for your concern. But, don't worry too much because we're only going to catch one."
It was then.
[Crack warping occurs.]
[Prince Ougar shows up.]
[Entrance is closed during crack twist.]
[If challengers within the crack die, the crack opens.]
Kugugugugu Palace!
The earth shakes.
"씨···."."."."
The faces of Han Dong-hyun and three others have hardened.
The twist of a crack, which appears only in large cracks and aberrations.
Why did it happen now?
"Turn on the emergency cam."
an emergency cam
It was a camera with a screen recording function.
A very small camera paid by Hunter Administration for Hunter of Class B or higher, entering the Great Crack.
It was to prepare for something that was only seen in the Great Crack.
When Hunter turns on the emergency cam, the screen is transmitted to Hunter Management Office in real time, where Hunter Management identifies the situation inside the crack through the transmitted screen.
Prepare to deploy S-class hunters.
If all the "challenger" inside the crack dies, all the monsters in the crack will escape to Earth.
"I need you to worry again. We can't just catch one."
Han Dong-hyun, who turned pale, smiled dejectedly and said.
