After talking about various things with Ji-Hae, he suddenly talks about something that sounds cool.
"Hyungnim, have you heard of the hunter league?"
"Hunter league? what is it?"
"Hunter league is a tournament held to see the talent of new hunters"
"That sounds cool, how can I join that?"
"That's easy, registration will open soon, you just have to register. And the tournament will be held in 3 months"
So the hunter league will be held in 3 months, I want to compete there against other great hunters. I wonder how far I've come, and I'll show the world the necromancer class I have. Maybe it would be a good time for me to show off my skills.
"I think you can win easily hyung!" Ji-Hae looks at me with confidence.
"I will prepare my best for the day"
"There will be a lot of people watching, you will also meet a lot of high rank hunters so I think it will be a great opportunity"
That sounds great than I thought, I can show my skills not only in front of everyone but also in front of high rank hunters. Maybe then I can also show my skills in front of Pyon Hee-Ra. Even though it's only held in Korea, but making my name famous in Korea is a good thing. That way I can go even higher, and also help raid portals internationally. It's an opportunity that I shouldn't miss especially if later I want to build my own guild.
"Ji-Hae can you help me strengthen my skills?"
"Of course Hyung-nim!"
It's a good thing because Ji-Hae will help me improve my skills. I still don't know how to use all of my abilities to the fullest. I have to practice as well as do portal raids in order to gain more experience. I also hope to get new skills while raiding portals. For now training on a D-Rank portal would probably be more than enough for me. And again I have Ji-Hae, she can help me set up the portal. Maybe I should pay for it later, but I don't even have that kind of money to pay for a rich person like him. That I will think about later how to repay his kindness.
For now I will focus on the hunter league later. I have to look up various information about this in order to prepare myself properly. I don't know why, but my heart is pounding and I'm so excited. I feel my adrenaline is pumping because of the hunter league. I will do the best.
"By the way Ji-Hae, how many participants can join the hunter league?"
"As far as I know there are around 300 hunters, and the hunters consist of E-Rank to A-Rank hunters."
"Why aren't there S-Rank hunters?"
"Because this is a battle for young hunters who have potential, and S-Rank hunters will win easily"
"Isn't that the same as A-Rank hunters?"
"Not really, not all A-Rank hunters have very great abilities"
"Last year a B-Rank hunter defeated an A-Rank hunter with his abilities even though his class was not as good as the A-Rank hunter"
"Woah... that guy must be really great"
After hearing all that I became convinced that I had a chance to win. I plan to strengthen my swordsmanship abilities, because I want to use my necromancer abilities in bigger moments like semifinals or finals. I think I can attract the attention of many viewers if I do it like that.
I can find some more information about the hunter league on the hunter forum. It seems like there are a lot of people who are enthusiastic about this tournament, judging by the number of people discussing this on the hunter forums. Looks like Chong Seong-Hun is the favorite to win with his Lancer class. It was normal, he got a B-Rank after the test, and also the class he had was one of the highest ranked classes. Lancer will be quite difficult to fight, in addition to having a large range in his attack. The skill is also very annoying, I can see on the forums many people are talking about Chong Seong-Hun's Imperion Lance skill. It seems he also has a fast movement and his ability to dodge attacks is great.
The Hunter league would be an extraordinary event. Looks like this event has been held several times. As Ji-Hae said, this event was held last year. Looks like I'll have to discuss the portal raid with Ji-Hae.
"Ji-Hae regarding the next portal raid-"
"About that how about we do a portal raid just the two of us?"
"What do you mean?!" I looked at him in shock.
"I'm sure with your necromancer skills we can complete the portal raid together"
"Are you sure about that?"
"I'm sure, and my abilities aren't bad either."
This sounds crazy, I don't know why he would suggest something like this. But if that's what he wants I'll do it. Although I'm a little unsure, but since he looks confident then I will follow his wishes.
To think we've spent so much time talking about so many things. Since it's late now I think I should go home.
"Ji-Hae since it's getting late, I'm going home"
"Alright hyungnim, should I have my driver drop you off?"
"No need to bother, I will go home by taxi. Then see you later"
"See you hyungnim!"
After that I walked back while thinking about various things. There are many things I have to do from now on, my goal is not just to be strong. But I will protect everyone, establish my guild, and also become no. 1 in the world. This sounds like a dream, but one day I'll make it happen.
.
I opened the hunter forum and it looks like the hunter league registration will open tomorrow. I've been able to access the website but haven't been able to register myself. There are only 300 slots, I can't miss it. After all, I have to join the hunter league and show everyone in Korea that I can be the strongest. And also I will show you a special class that no one else has, my Necromancer class. Maybe it will go viral all over the world, but I won't know until it happens. In 2 more days, I will contact Ji-Hae to do a portal raid which sounds crazy. Doing a D-Rank portal raid with only 2 people, everyone would think it was a joke. But we will take that seriously.
I've been thinking about some ideas, creating a formation for my skeletons. Tried as many combinations of attacks as we could. Strengthening Luck the skeleton I trust the most. Besides that I have to strengthen my swordsmanship, so far I've only swung my sword by instinct. But it might be better if I learn proper sword techniques. So that in the future if I fight a very strong enemy I can fight well. It would also be beneficial for me if I was dealing with sword users during the hunter league.
Later I can also watch videos of hunter fights in the hunter league last year. I wanted to see the ability of the person who won the hunter league, curiosity filled me. I'm thirsty for all the knowledge I can learn. I can't just rely on my necromancer's power.
When I got home I met my mother and sister. And their reaction was the same as everyone else's.
"Oppa is that you?" my sister asked me and fell silent for a moment after seeing my appearance.
"My son has become very handsome" My mother compliments me, and she's the only one who still recognizes me since I changed my appearance.
"Stop it, I'm tired of hearing it from people" I didn't think changing my appearance would have this kind of impact. But it's also a bit of fun.
.
Unexpectedly 2 days have passed, and I have rested my body well. I've also made preparations with my skeleton army. I'll try all the things I prepared in today's portal raid. Then I called Ji-Hae.
"Ji-Hae I'm ready, where should we meet?"
"Our portal is in Seoul this time, I'll send you the full address"
"Okay!"
A two-person D-Rank raid portal is about to start. It makes me excited, I might get hurt if I'm not careful but this will also be a chance to test my skills to the fullest. And also there is Ji-Hae he has the Trickster class so he will be able to set traps well, besides that he has good knowledge of portals. So I will not be afraid of unexpected things later. And now it's time for me to go to the portal with the address that Ji-Hae sent.
