Today we decided to form a group for our guild. Because yesterday we have successfully recruited 14 hunters now we have a total of 18 hunters in this guild. I have to start forming groups so we can raid well.
Besides that, since Seoul also has a Blood Moon guild, there should be fewer portals that we need to monitor. So for now I think I only need to form 3 groups, and 1 group will contain 6 people and since we only have 17 hunters I will make my group only 5 people.
I'm still confused about how I should determine the members in each group. Because there are still many low rank hunters who still lack experience. However I must not make them fall into a dangerous situation.
That's why I think I need to do raid training with these new members. I'm planning on doing raid training right away at the portals that pop up around Seoul. This morning Ye-Jin already gave me a list of portals that need to be watched.
For now there are 3 D-Rank portals that need to be monitored, while there is 1 B-Rank portal but since the portal has just appeared it should still be safe at this time. I can do raid training in one of those D-Rank portals.
Since I was a little confused I tried to ask Ji-Hae.
"Ji-Hae do you have time?"
"Of course hyungnim!"
"Then I'd like to ask your opinion."
"My opinion? About what?" Ji-Hae looks at me a little confused.
"I'm planning to do raid training for new members, I'm at a loss on how to divide the group."
"Ohh that seems like a good idea, for group division I think we should adjust the portal rank."
"You're right, but I don't want to harm them."
"For D-Rank portals I think it would be good if there were C-Rank hunters in the group, and we have 4 C-Rank hunters I think we can include them in the group."
"You're right, but we will form 3 groups and each group will contain 6 people. But 2 groups other than mine don't need to do high rank raids." I said.
"Okay then I'll arrange the group hyungnim!"
Then Ji-Hae went to create our raid groups. This issue has been resolved but I still have to think about what to do next. Actually I don't need a party myself to raid, but I have to increase the abilities of my guild members.
Besides that Gabriel is an A-Rank hunter, he will be very helpful later. I will try to make him an S-Rank hunter, and I will try to raise the rank of all my members who are still D-Rank at this time.
After all our guild members arrived at the office, we immediately gathered them. And Ji-Hae had also finished dividing the group.
Since today is only for training as well as seeing their performance in direct combat then I won't intervene. I will oversee their raid and of course I will also ask Gabriel to supervise the other groups.
"Good since everyone is gathered here I will announce something important." I spoke loudly and they all watched me.
"I will divide into 3 raid groups, and the 2 raid groups will conduct raid training today. Of course you will be monitored, I am doing this to see how you perform in battles against real monsters." I said.
Then after a while Ji-Hae came forward to read the group aloud.
"Now in my hands there is a group that I have divided, 1 group will contain 6 people so listen carefully."
"I divided the group into 2 raid groups and 1 core group. The core group will contain our guildmaster, and other great hunters. And the raid group will be the raiding group, and of course the raids are just low rank raids." Ji-Hae continued.
"But if your group becomes stronger, then you will be allowed to raid higher ranked portals."
After that Ji-Hae read the names of each group. And of course since the core group won't be raiding today, I asked them to help oversee raid training.
The core group consisted of me, Gabriel, Ji-Eun, Luca, and Ji-Hae. This is a good group, and since they all have experience in raids I won't have any trouble organizing this party later.
Besides Nakao Yui he's actually quite great, but for now it's better to put him in the raid group. He will really help the group to become strong. And fortunately we have 3 support members to fill the support positions in both groups.
There was Jae Yun who was a priest, Oh Yu-Jin who was also a priest, and Sun-Ja who was a bard. That way both groups have a good composition.
"Okay! Since you've heard your names, now line up according to your respective groups!" I said that out loud.
Then after they lined up according to their respective groups, I started giving directions for today's raid training.
"There's no need to be afraid in training this time, Gabriel and I will oversee each group so you guys are safe. So show me if you can, and for those who can't I'll take them out immediately." I said that seriously.
Then I shared the location of the portal where we would raid, fortunately there were two D-Rank portals that appeared near a park in Seoul. So we can do the training closely.
Finally I brought them all to go there, I ordered the 3 people who weren't participating in the raid to keep an eye on the portal from the outside. Surely they were Ji-Hae, Ji-Eun, and Luca.
"Okay since we're here, I'll lead group A. And Gabriel will lead group B. Remember this we won't help you unless you're in danger. So make sure you remember that."
After that we entered the portal, and Gabriel's group also entered their portal.
It seems like this portal is an easy one, it's the same as the one I used to enter. This forest area does look similar, this is where the orcs are. But there's also a werewolf here so it's going to be pretty tough.
"Alright you guys can start now, I'll be watching from behind."
In group A that I lead they have a fighter, Yong Ju Won, and their tank is Minsu. This is a pretty strong group and they should be fine doing this raid even without me.
"Who will lead our group?" asked Ju Won.
"I can lead this group if you want." Minsu said.
"I think Minsu can also be the leader of the group." Jae Yun added.
"I have no problem with who is the leader." Young-Ho said.
"Okay, then let's make Minsu the leader." Ju Won ended.
Then they started walking into the forest, and they seemed to have good awareness. Young-Ho who was someone with the Hunter class he kept his eyes on his surroundings to secure the area. While Minsu, who led him, kept an eye on his team's movements.
This is a good start for the group, apart from that Ju Won also positioned himself a little behind to protect their support. Even though this is a newly created group, they can work together this well.
After walking for about 5 minutes, they found 2 orcs in front of them. It would be interesting to see how they fought the two orcs together.
"Everyone stop!" Minsu said.
"There are 2 orcs in front of us all ready!" Ju Won said.
Then they formed a fighting formation, they all looked serious in this situation.
"I will withdraw their aggro!" Minsu said.
"Let's attack them!"
Then they immediately attacked the two orcs, it was seen that Minsu stepped forward to attract the two orcs. The orc attacked Minsu head-on, but he was able to withstand it. Jae Yun also immediately focused his healing on Minsu.
Then Ju Won ran towards the orcs, and Young-Ho shot a few arrows at the two orcs. And it managed to hurt the orc, after the orc was injured they were seen trying to run. But Ju Won chases after them.
After that he used his fist to kill one of the orcs, and the other one tried to run. Suddenly someone with a chaser class appeared next to the orc and directly stabbed the orc's head with a knife.
Woah that's something great, I didn't expect to see such good cooperation in a newly formed party. And that chaser seems to be Hyong Jin-Sang. Although he is still a D-Rank hunter but he seems to have good instincts for a chaser.
And lastly there is Mo Kwan, even though he is not that conspicuous in battle but if you see his movements from earlier he always protects their support. He was good at defense because he was a spearman so he could fight enemies with the distance he had.
"That was good, you just need to improve it more. And don't forget to keep in touch with your fellow group members." I praised them while providing input.
They looked quite excited, and their faces also looked happy. It was a good start, but I also wanted to see how they fought the werewolves.
Then Minsu returned to lead the group, and Jae Yun had also healed all their wounds. Even though only Minsu received the most damage because he had to endure the monster, he was a good leader.
After exploring the forest for about 15 minutes they had trouble finding monsters. This is unusual, there should be a lot of orcs around here but we have been looking for 15 minutes and still can't find them.
Suddenly there was a sound that sounded from the bushes in the forest to our right. And the sound was getting closer, suddenly a werewolf jumped out of there.
"Everyone stop! There's a werewolf emerging from the bushes!" Minsu quickly gave the order.
The werewolf tried to attack them quickly, but Young-Ho shot several arrows to slow the werewolf's movement. And he managed to hit his leg, but that didn't stop the werewolf's movement completely. He tried to attack Jae Yun because Jae Yun was behind.
But luckily Mo Kwan quickly stabbed the werewolf with his spear. The werewolf was still not dead, he drew the spear and tried to attack Mo Kwan. Minsu quickly used his shield to push the werewolf, and Ju Won immediately used his fist skill to kill the werewolf.
Then the werewolf died, but suddenly there were a lot of footsteps around us. I feel very familiar with this situation. And unexpectedly, 6 werewolves appeared to surround us from all directions.
If it's like this, it seems I have to intervene. Seeing their shocked faces it seemed like they didn't expect to fight this many werewolves at once.
"From here on out, I'll take over." I said that out loud.
