Chapter 92:

Having close ties with S-Class and being respectfully referred to as ‘Hyung-nim’ by A-Class... At this point, there’s nothing more surprising.

‘W, what kind of connections does that bastard have that are so impressive?’

Ahem!

While they were focused on their greetings, the association president quickly escaped, repeatedly giving awkward coughs.

***

A few hours later.

‘Oh.’

Sparkle.

I held the ring in my hand up to the sunlight.

A thin band engraved with an unfamiliar constellation. Is this the new equipment I’ll be using from now on?

‘Earth’s enchantment!’

I finally got back the ring I had entrusted. Gu Seohyeong just brought the item over, saying the enchantment was complete.

‘Just by looking at it, I can’t really tell how much it has improved.’

I rolled the ring around in my hand.

‘Hmm.’

By the way, it’s quite strange. When I received the ring earlier, I subtly made a new proposal to Gu Seohyeong...

-Ask for money instead of enchantment?

-What do you think? Wouldn’t that be more beneficial for you too?

For some reason, she was very displeased with the idea of ​​repaying the favor with money. To the extent that when I asked for cash, she couldn’t control her expression and looked quite serious.

‘Was it impolite by Earth standards?’

Gu Seohyeong said this in a very hesitant tone.

“If you really insist, I could prepare the money for you, but wouldn’t it be better to repay the favor by accepting the free enchantment...?”

So I just said I got it. To be honest, from the perspective of receiving it, it’s a bit weird to say this or that.

‘Anyway, it’s free!’

I decided to think positively.

“Hyung-nim!”

Well then, I got my ring back, now I need to focus on today’s schedule.

“Please take a look at this! What do you think?”

“Oh.”

“I’ve stabilized the skills just as you instructed, Hyung-nim!”

Since the last Red Gate attack, I have been training the A-Class every Thursday.

“Yeah, you’re doing well.”

But it’s quite regrettable. Before we knew it, the lesson had reached its final stages. The buff skill known as [Stone Skin] is Ahn Yoon-seung’s last magic...

‘I can’t come up with any more excuses.’

Now, even my teaching has reached its limits. This next level of teaching is dangerous territory to teach to primitive magicians.

‘Ugh.’

Progress and growth should be something to be happy about, but why do I feel so conflicted? I don’t think that Earthling would actually do that, but... What if they think there’s nothing more to learn from me and stop contacting me in the future...?

No, no, let’s not think bad thoughts.

‘Y, Yoonseung is a good Earthling, so he won’t be so cruel.’

I closed my eyes tightly and took a deep sigh.

-Wake up! It comes to mind every morning♩♪~

But then, at that moment, a clear singing voice flowed from Yoonseung’s pocket suddenly.

It was a cell phone ring.

“Huh? Why did the chief call at this hour?”

“Is the guild calling you?”

“Yes, I’ll take it for a moment.”

Eventually, Ahn Yoonseung started a conversation. Of course, with Kim Kiryeo’s hearing, he couldn’t eavesdrop on their conversation.

“Heuk!”

But looking at that reaction, it doesn’t seem to be good news.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

“That’s....”

A little while later, Ahn Yoonseung ended the call and said with a trembling voice. As expected, something urgent had happened at his company.

“It’s, it’s a strange mutation!”

Today is the day when Neo Sisters’ C-class hunter team sets out to attack the gate. However, there’s been a problem during this process. The difficulty of the dungeons has been changing, and the C-class gate has been replaced with a B-class gate.

“One person managed to escape somehow, but the rest are still inside the gate...”

From what I heard, this time, even the structure of the place has changed dramatically. Thanks to this, some guild members are reportedly trapped inside a maze-like gate.

‘Oh my.’

If things continue like this, the C-class hunters in the guild may die in droves. That’s why the Neo Sisters have taken urgent action. They’ve called in available A-Class and hastily formed a rescue team.

“Yoonseung-ah, shall I call a taxi for you?”

“P, Please do!”

Ahn Yoonseung hurriedly prepared to leave.

However, wait a moment, why am I so relaxed in this urgent scene? Of course, an F-Class person like me is of no help in this situation. If I were to exaggerate a little, honestly, a rock rolling on the side of the road would be more helpful in an attack than someone like Kim Kiryeo.

“Yeah. Take care, and come back safely~”

Inevitably, I will be sitting idly. I had no intention of interfering with their affairs.

Of course, this difficult world never goes the way you think...

Guild members struggling in a square barrier filled with water. This isn’t even an EX-level dungeon, so why are there so many traps?

‘Hmm.’

Fortunately, it didn’t escalate into a major problem. The female A-Class hunter who came with us possessed monstrous attack power.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Shot!

When she made up her mind and fired arrows, the barrier they were trapped in quickly lost its shape. The entire trap was destroyed.

“Senior! Above! Above! Above!”

“Watch out above!”

But unexpectedly, contrary to my anticipation of an emotional reunion, those who escaped from the underwater prison all pointed towards the ceiling...

‘Above?’

I unconsciously raised my head.

Tduk, tduk.

If I had known I would make eye contact with such a monstrous creature, I would have just not looked.

‘Hiiik!’

On the high ceiling, something ominous is attached. It doesn’t have matching pairs of legs to call it a centipede, and its body is too bulky to be called a snake.

“W, w, we were being chased by that thing and fell into that trap earlier!”

That’s a monster. Moreover, it seems to be boss-level...!

The A-class hunters who saw this quickly took their stance without anyone else taking the initiative.

“Yoonseung-ah!”

“Yes!”

The ideal arrangement is that Ahn Yoonseung takes the lead and marks the enemy, and the other A-class keep them in check with crossbows. In that case, I’ll need to do my part on this while they fight.

“We’re stepping back a bit.”

“Ah, yes!”

“But who are you...?”

I led the stranded people to a safe place. For weaker ones like us, staying in the corner was the best way to help.

-Boom!

Before long, the skills of all A-class members explode. From her crossbow, each white bolt leaves a silver streak as they shoot straight ahead. Moreover, each bolt contained magical power rivaling intermediate spells, so explosions were inevitable.

-Boom!

As soon as the arrowhead touched, the body joints of the hideous monster exploded violently.

‘Strong!’

However, the real problem started just now. As the monster neared its death with only about eight body segments left, it began to reveal a terrifying pattern.

“Heuk!”

“What is that!”

Tsssk!

It trembled violently all over before suddenly all its body segments detached. Then, the eight divided segments each became a head and scattered in all directions to ensure its survival!

“Crazy! Don’t come!”

“Kwaaah!”

Of course, there is an A-class defense hunter named Ahn Yoonseung here, so the situation will be sorted out just by staying still...

‘Yoonseung-ah, I trust you.’

When the monster ran towards me, my body moved first.

‘I believe it, but I have to jump now!’

I went on the run with the C-class hunters who were in panic. We were frightened by the approaching monster and sprinted at full speed.

But at this time, there was something that the C-Class hunters and I overlooked for a moment.

-Click

This was a gate with many strange traps.

“Huh?”

I couldn’t believe the unfolding situation. Right after that, the lead C-class hunter tripped over a device on the floor and fell hard.

“Wait!”

“Ugh!”

“Keugh!”

Rumble.

The person in front suddenly fell, and the hunters behind couldn’t overcome the acceleration and fell one after another. I accidentally ended up at the top of the group, which was the worst spot choice.

‘Ahh!’

As if that wasn’t bad enough, the activated trap caused something to fall from the ceiling. It’s like going from bad to worse.

I just realized that I didn’t bring [Twin Guardian Angels] with me.

‘Aaaahhh, idiot!’

It seems like I accidentally left yesterday’s pants in the laundry and washed them along with everything else...

Shoo shoo shoo.

After a brief fleeting thought, a rain of black blades falls from the sky.

I closed my eyes tightly.

-Tick!

Heuk. It was a short but good life. After all, I retired, enjoyed plenty of delicious food during that time...

-Tick!

The only regret is that I didn’t get to enjoy Earth more...

-Tick, tock, tick...

Wait a minute, why is there such a weak sound effect when the blade pierces the body?

‘Huh?’

By the time I opened my closed eyes. I took a deep breath when I saw the scenery that came into view.

“....!”

Because all those blades miserably lay scattered on the floor without even piercing through a single F-Class.
