"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.…."

After 48 hours of long tests.

Hunters were each knocked out in the waiting room.

The blood and mucus of monsters that are full of supply suits.

Dark circles that come down to the cheeks and hair.

For the past two days, Hunters have.

I did my best to get a promotion to grade A.

Swoosh.

"Good work."

Walk to Cha Ye-ji, exhausted and squatted on the side of the waiting room.

Dojun smiled and gave me an ion drink.

"Manager... ...Thank you for the drink."

Boom boom!

Empty out 500 mI of pet at once.

If you open your hunch and look at the state of Cha Ye-ji.

Mana has long been exhausted.

That\'s the same for other examinees.

Everyone hit the limit of their physical strength, and with their mental strength, they clenched their teeth and endured it.

"By the way, the acceptance rate is 80 percent."

for the last few years

The passing rate of the promotion test to grade A was less than 30 percent.

However, there were a lot of successful candidates in this exam alone, and the examinees looked at each other with curiosity. No, there was nothing novel about it.

In a way, it was a natural result.

There was a fact that the Hunters didn\'t tell us outwardly.

roam around the test site If you look at it, there\'s no combat aid artifacts.

Plants that are not to be eaten are marked small, etc.

Many things have happened in favor of hunters.

And there were a lot of colony monsters, but they didn\'t stick together more than three.

The bodies of the crushed monsters were scattered from time to time.

I felt as if someone had deliberately helped me.

You\'re the chief, aren\'t you?\'

Han Minji is close by.

I whispered to Dojun in a whisper.

I don\'t know why Dojun did this.

Class S hunters knew that Dojun walked around the blind spots of the camera and indirectly helped the examinees.

"......it just reminded me of the old days."

"What?"

When Dojun was in Murim.

when its strength fell short of second-rate masters

I recalled the memory of going to a place called Cheonmu Academy and being tested.

It was a long time ago that I had been tested to pass the truth test with my fellow alumni. It was a long time ago that I had to take the test as a group.

***

the lobby on the first floor of the Hunter Administration

The large screen display showed the results of the A-level Hunter promotion test.

Reporters from each broadcasting station were waiting for Hunters.

Of course, it was to interview successful applicants.

There was definitely a unique presence among the successful candidates.

"It\'s out!"

Reporters rushed to Cha Ye-ji.

And each of them held a camera, and a microphone.

"How do you feel about being first place?"

"What is your awakening skill?"

"Please say a word to the viewers!"

Have you ever received such spotlight so far?

Cha Ye-ji looks more embarrassed than ever.

He blushed at the same time and stared blankly at the camera.

"Yes, yes?"

I\'m surprised to see the results on the big screen.

A few months ago, he was an F-level hunter.

I never dreamed that I would pass the A-level Hunter test as the first place.

"Well, there... ...."

Just coming up from the basement.

Cha Ye-ji looks at Do-joon as if she wants help.

Dojun smiled and raised his thumb.

Soon he jerked around and avoided his seat.

"Gwa, I\'m the manager!"

**8

"Director, no....... General supervisor!"

One woman is running towards this side.

When did you change your clothes? A female hunter who changed from a supply suit to a plain clothes.

She was Yoo Ha-na, who had just become an A-class hunter.

"Anything you want to say to me?"

"Yes, I do."

Yoo Ha-na looks up at Do-

He was quite tall for a woman.

It only reached Dojun\'s chin.

Apart from that, Yuhana decided to ask point-blank.

"Are you the first hunter?"

the first hunter

Ten years ago, when the crack broke out.

A term referring to legendary hunters who have survived the chaos by awakening for the first time.

Officially, all of the first hunters currently remaining were Behimos Guild members, including Lee Kang-hyun, Ryu Jun-yeol and Moon Ae-kyung.

However, there was a public rumor in the public that the first hunter who had not revealed his identity might remain, and Yuhana concluded that Dojun was one of the first hunters to remain.

"No."

"Then what is it? How is it so strong? You have a reason to be a general supervisor. Do you know who you are now?"

a nagging question

Dojun sighed.

Aside from overpowering Heo Young-chang.

It seems that Yoo Ha-na was the source of trouble when she showed her holding the ougger.

I thought nothing would happen, but I couldn\'t imagine it coming after me and prying into it persistently.

"I..."

Dojun, who was trying to make excuses.

Rather, I felt lazy and decided to answer vaguely.

"Think on your own."

with a jerk

I finish my journey.

But Yoo Ha-na blocked Do-jun\'s way.

The moment Dojun frowned and said something.

Flap!

"......what are you doing?"

Yuhana knelt on the concrete floor.

said, bowing his head on the spot and bowing.

"Please accept me as a disciple. First Hunter."

Dojun is kicking his tongue.

Naturally, I tried to refuse, but I swallowed my words.

Instead, they decided to offer other conditions.

Dojun gave her a card of his own.

Swoosh.

Yuhana raises her head to check her business card.

***

It\'s sizzling.

Shrimps in frying clothes are fried crisply in cooking oil.

The table was full of dishes as if it were going to break.

Seol hummed and put fried shrimp on a plate with salad on the table.

Karshiel stood on a small pedestal, cutting potatoes for curry beside Sul Yun-hui.

Today was the day when Do-jun, who worked overtime for two days, returned home, so he was showing his skills to the fullest.

Beep beep.

I can hear the door lock password.

Seol Yoon-hee turned off the gas and took off her apron.

He rushed out to the front door.

"I\'m home."

Did you usually go? Seol Yoon-hee, who welcomed me.

Standing on the porch, staring at Dojun without saying a word.

Dojun shook his palm in front of Seol\'s face to call attention.

Width

Seol Yoon-hee, who stared blankly at Do-joon.

He hugged Dojun without saying a word.

"......what\'s wrong?"

Swoosh.

Seol Yoonhee, take your body off.

I walked back to the kitchen.

Dojun came into the house with his head tilted.

I\'m Joo-ni! I\'m going to say hello to them! I missed you so much. Black, black, blue.\'

Yong-yong hung from Do-jun\'s ankle and had a tearful runny nose.

I wonder why she\'s overreacting today.

Byul was sleeping quietly in her home room, and only Carthiel\'s reaction was normal.

"Master. Thank you for your hard work."

"How have you been?"

"Yes. I...I\'m doing fine.Yes."

If you look closely, there are dark circles around Karsiel\'s eyes.

"Now... ...may I wake Byul up...…."

***

"Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Would it feel like this if separated families were reunited?

What makes Byul so sad.

I cried a bucket of tears in Dojun\'s arms.

Carthiel, who was watching from the side, explained what happened for two days.

Do-jun, who was listening quietly, laughed.

First of all

If you look back on the first morning.

Moon Byul has been playing outside as usual.

It is said that he came back home in the evening.

The problem begins here.

You\'re always late?

It was [question] at first.

Dojun, who usually went home around 7 p.m.

I wondered when it wasn\'t nearly eight o\'clock in the evening.

The second was [negative].

It\'s almost time to sleep in the evening.

There was no Dojun who was always lying within reach.

This dog, uh, caged?

The third was [fear].

Dojun didn\'t come back the next day.

Byul was filled with grief and fear.

Abba goes rice.

The fourth was [adaptation].

Byul thinks that Dojun abandoned her.

Always a bright feeling disappeared and I was dazed all day long.

But the problem happened here.

What have you been doing?

Abba can\'t do it again. Geun vs Yongyo can do it well. Bye! Do you want me to do it?

rice, rice, rice, rice, and rice.

Dojun who was listening quietly.

He laughed in vain.

a snotty shirt

Byul raises her head and looks at Dojun.

"Pumba. You\'re not going to pay for it. You\'re the last dog to walk in the dog."

Dojun vowed to leave work on time.

***

after dinner

Dojun moved to Hunter Management Station and went back to the test site on the second basement floor.

The staff were arranging the monster\'s body and so on.

Dojun closed his eyes and expressed his feeling.

\'There he is.

In Zone C, a spirit with the power of Class S monsters has been detected.

Silphid, the Spirit of Advanced Wind that followed him around throughout the test.

Perhaps because he disappeared for a while on his way back home, Sylphid was in a flurry of embarrassment.

Tak

Dojun hiding his spirit.

I landed behind the Spirit.

He stared silently at the spirit with a troubled expression.

Soon, the Spirit looked back.

#@$%##!

He hurried back with an unknown remark.

Then he hid behind the coniferous tree and glanced at Dojun by sticking out his head.

Dojun sighed and lifted his finger.

Dorye.

The spirit shook its head with all its might, closing his eyes.

Was it because he was afraid or was it because he was not happy?

Then I couldn\'t figure out why they were following me around.

The smell of my mom...

At last he spits out his words.

But I can\'t believe it smells like mom.

Dojun easily understood the meaning of the spirit.

"Are you talking about Ragheim?"

Nodding.

"I smell ragheim?"

Nodding.

The smell of a spirit is.

Not just the olfactory part.

It meant that I could feel the energy of Ragheim, the king of spirits.

......whoa!

The spirits were surprised as if they had realized something.

He flew over to Dojun, and looked at the water.

And I make one conclusion.

Dad?

He seems to be completely mistaken.

***

Dojun decided to hand over the spirit to Ragheim.

When it came into the crack, the Spirits flew around what was so good.

When Ragheim found him walking slowly, he smiled broadly and headed to her.

Mom!

When I see you happy.

Do-joon felt a smile built around his mouth without realizing it.

I didn\'t expect the answer to be lost.

"Thank you, master." For taking Sylphid home.

Master?

The Spirit alternates between Ragheim and Dojun.

Isn\'t that Dad?

뭐What...... not yet.

Ragheim looked at Dojun and said cautiously.
