Chapter 74

The top floor of the Odin's Guild.

There was an extraordinarily tense atmosphere in the small meeting room.

The five largest guilds in Korea, recognized not only domestically but also internationally. Today is the day when these leaders gather.

Since each guild master had a different personality, the atmosphere was already tense, but today it was even worse. After observing the silent meeting room, Park Yoon-sung spoke first.

"Is everyone ready to accept my proposal now?"

“...”

“...”

The guild masters of each guild looked at each other in response to Park Yoon-sung's question. Their gazes finally landed on Song Cha-hyun, the guildmaster of Freya Guild, who was sitting with a calm face.

The news that the Freya Guild had cleared the Sæ Dungeon in the shortest time had caused an uproar among the major guilds. Guilds that had once sent mercenaries to conquer the Sæ Dungeon in the past were even more shaken.

Sæ dungeon was one of the most difficult dungeons in the world. It had the worst terrain conditions, being located in the ocean, five different areas, and powerful monsters. It was a dungeon so difficult that no other guild could manage it.

It was truly amazing that the Freya Guild managed such a place exclusively and the dungeon break never occurred.

However, with the occurrence of the dungeon anomaly phenomenon, the response of each guild changed. The general opinion was that even the Freya Guild would not be able to manage the Sæ dungeon as exclusively as before.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

However, it was still difficult for the guild masters of large guilds to understand that a hunter had reversed the game.

"Everyone's still in disbelief."

"Hmm..."

Cha Kang-tae, the guildmaster of the Thor Guild, groaned as he frowned at Song Cha-hyun's cold words.

"Honestly, that Kang Yoo-hyun, who's an SS-rank or something, I don't know if it's because of him, but a mere auxiliary skill is actually that helpful... huh?"

"..."

"Am I the only one who finds that hard to believe?"

Cha Kang-tae shrugged his shoulders and laughed. But no one laughed along with him in the chilly atmosphere.

“Whether you believe it or not, the results will tell.”

Seo Jin-han, guild master of the Heimdall Guild, spoke calmly. Cha Kang-tae chuckled at his words.

"Oh well, I'm the only bad guy again, aren't I?”

Looking away from Cha Kang-tae who shook his head, Seo Jin-han looked at Park Yoon-sung.

"And I don't think that guildmaster Park Yoon-sung and guildmaster Song Cha-hyun would joke around at this crucial time."

Due to the rating anomaly, each guild had difficulty clearing dungeons. The Heimdall Guild also lacked the resources to manage the dungeons they owned. Honestly, any help is desperately needed.

"Hmm... You’re right."

Cha Kang-tae, who only expressed negative opinions, nodded. His guild had just cleared a dungeon that had a rating anomaly not long ago. His eyes turned to the report in front of him.

"I'll say it again, the detailed report on the Sæ Dungeon is confidential, so you must never leak it elsewhere."

"Yeah, I know. I even signed the contract."

Today, Park Yoon-sung was being particularly fussy even before entering the meeting room. Cha Kang-tae, who had dyslexia, skimmed through the report and managed to read the summary at the end.

“So, A-class and S-class hunters who received that auxiliary skill sweep through Areas 1 and 2 alone, and SS-class hunter Kang Yoo-hyun took down an SS-rank boss monster by himself?"

"That's correct."

Jin Sang-hyun bites his lip.

Initially, the title of number one guild in Korea was occupied by the Tyr Guild.

However, the Odin Guild, a group of high-ranking hunters led by Park Yoon-sung, has risen to the top of the rankings and taken over.

Now, there was even an SS-class Kang Yoo-hyun and someone with an S-grade auxiliary skill. The gap was widening to the point where nothing could be done. However, this wasn't the time to be picky. With the Muspelheim Dungeon's Break approaching, there was no use in letting one's ego get in the way.

"I hope we're next, we're in a bit of a hurry here too."

‘We're not to be underestimated either. I'd like to borrow a cat's hand If I could."1

"You have a cat. Ask for help from it.”

"Are you kidding me?"

Seo Jin-han glared at Cha Kang-tae as if contemptuous of his poor joke and Cha Kang-tae laughed at his gaze.

"If there are no other opinions, let's end today's meeting."

"Yeah, everyone stay alive until we meet next time."

"Don't say such unpleasant things."

"Hahaha."

Cha Kang-tae slapped Seo Jin-han's shoulder, which annoyed Seo Jin-han, and went out. Jin Sang-hyun, with a crumpled face, also followed them out of the meeting room. Only Park Yoon-sung and Song Cha-hyun were left in the meeting room.

"Yoon Sung-ah."

"...Yes, Noonim."

Song Cha-hyun got up from her seat and approached Park Yoon-sung. Her eyes looked at Park Yoon-sung.

"Thanks to your support, we were able to clear the dungeon safely. I just want to say thank you."

"I'm glad I could be of help."

Before the gate opened, the two were seniors and juniors in college. Moreover, for Park Yoon-sung, Song Cha-hyun was a very distant senior. Maybe that's why the relationship between them still remains.

Of course, Song Cha-hyun was well aware that even though Park Yoon-sung had a gentle expression, it didn't reflect his true feelings, and Song Cha-hyun's lips curled into a long arc.

"Hunter Han Yi-jin's temporary contract seems to be quite short."

"..."

"I wonder if his next contract will also be with the Odin Guild."

The contents of Han Yi-jin's contract were confidential, even within the Odin Guild. Maybe Song Cha-hyun was trying to find out, not leak information. Park Yoon-sung, who knew that, smiled brightly as usual.

"Since it's a temporary contract, we will do our best to keep him.”

"That’s right. Do your best."

"..."

"..."

Sharp invisible gazes exchanged between them. For now, they had to join forces against a common enemy. Song Cha-hyun coveted S-grade auxiliary skill, and now that she had confirmed his ability with her own two eyes, she wanted Han Yi-jin.

So, the day would come when they would compete with the Odin Guild. Song Cha-hyun, who squinted, waved her hand once and left the meeting room casually.



T/N: Sorry for the delay. Recently, I started job hunting again, already resigned from my last workplace. So, yesterday I had an interview and it turned out that the HR actually need a male helper. Bruh, she just wasted my time (just want to rant) ????????.

Anyway, I need a side story about Seo Jin-han and Cha Kang-tae. They seemed sussy ????
