"Didn't I tell you! Min Ari!" Li Jinghyun shouted at the top of his lungs. He pointed at Min Ari. He receives a strike with his sword.
Min Ari frowned at her eyebrows. She felt vexed. Is she disappointed? No one knows. She gritted her teeth and shot some fire spells.
"..." Kim Yo-han shrugged his shoulders. Even if he tried to say something, they would only be suspicious of him.
They were ambushed by people wearing dark cloaks.
Choi Kang-dae frowned but he was grinning, showing his gold teeth. "Kim Yo-han don't make a move. I don't know your intentions but I can't let you do anything... Watch this man. I have prey to hunt."
Choi Kang-dae ordered a few A-rank Hunters to watch Kim Yo-han. Rubbing his fist, Choi Kang-day's Fighting aura exploded. Scaring the shit out of the C-rank newbies huddled together.
...
2 days earlier. Kim Yo-han observes the newbie training. He also felt nostalgic memories of watching these newbies struggling.
But in Kim Yo-han's situation, he was D-rank, and for him to endure the Demon's fear was an absolute menace. It wasn't exaggerated that he was on the verge of death every time he endured.
No matter how much he endured the fear creeping on him. As if fate is laughing at him, his attributes never rank up. It was a pitiful and excruciating endeavor.
A useless training. But with the comfort of his sister. Kim Yo-han never gave up no matter how hard it was.
Most of the C-rank Hunters were teenagers and most of them were on the ground screaming for help. Those with weak bladders pissed themselves.
Some A-rank hunters snickered at the pathetic sight.
"Hahaha, I remember you pissing when we took this together."
"Huh! You're the one screaming for your mother."
"What did you say, you bastard!"
These A-rank hunters are not taking these seriously. Well, it's just a babysitting some newbies.
"We have some promising newbies. Look at that boy, he is still standing."
"Isn't that Lee Seol, the little brother of Phoenix Guildmaster, Lee Hanseol!"
"Phoenix Guild are lucky bastards, they have another promising Hunter"
"They are one of the strongest guilds in South Korea after all. Lee Hanseol reached SS rank, making him one of the few prominent Hunters in the whole world."
"How strong is SS rank? Our Guildmaster Choi is already so powerful, that he can obliterate hundreds of demons with just a punch."
"What's the use of pondering, we could never reach their rank. We already reached our potential."
"Hey, look at that girl! She is standing up. Who is she?" An A-rank Hunter pointed at a Bob cut girl in the middle of the C-rank newbies struggling to stand up.
"Who knows? I don't recognize that girl."
Kim Yo-han was also surprised. Because that girl only has C-rank skills. Compared to Lee Seol who has an A-rank skill.
It was common sense that those with high-ranked skills after awakening would have high potential. Those with low-ranked skills cannot reach the top with hard work and effort alone. Kim Yo-han was an example.
[Name: Kim Hana
Age: 16
Class: Archer
Rank: C
STR: D+
AGI: C+
DEF: D+
WIS: C
STA: C-
MGC: D
Skill: Bow Mastery (C), Light arrow (D)]
To be able to stand up against fear with this kind of status. Kim Yo-han is amazed. But, seeing her potential, he knew she wouldn't be able to reach a high level.
Kim Yo-han found someone like him in the past. 'Those eyes, just like I was in the past. A heart that will not be shaken by any obstacles. Never give up, no matter how difficult the situation.'
Kim Yo-han tightened his hand into a fist. He decided.
For the past few days. Kim Yo-han kept thinking about what he should do after his revenge. With his power, he could easily solve his revenge but what happens after that?
He is already strong. He doesn't need to do anything. He also doesn't want to ascend, he wants to be with his sister. She is the only family he has.
So he concluded that he would help her sister get stronger and become immortal and ascend together. If Kim Yo-han can ascend, he can resurrect his loved ones.
Reviving mortals outside the mortal plane is not prohibited. On the contrary, reviving is a common occurrence.
Now, Kim Yo-han found another goal he would like to do while helping his sister get strong. He wants to help the people who fall from despair because of a bottleneck.
He doesn't want another him who was looked down upon and berated behind his back. Making a fool of themselves... He wants to help the people who have an indomitable will but are dragged by their limited potential.
I forgot to tell you, that Kim Yo-han is a god. He can read mortal thoughts. He knew what others were thinking about him. He just pretends he doesn't know.
He can see all the hatred that Li Jinghyun is giving him. The overflowing adoration of the women. Kim Yo-han doesn't know how to deal with it, he chooses to ignore it.
Time passed by, An hour had passed. The A-rank Hunters cut off the heads of the shackled Demons. As Demons keep letting out a screech, they would always emit fear.
"Good, We have three survivors." Choi Kang-dae grinned.
"Lee Seol, Kim Hana, and Lin Fusu, you three passed the test." Min Ari opened her terminal and searched for the information of the three Newbies.
The other C-rank hunters are standing up with pale expressions. Dry lips and dark eyes looked like sleep-deprived. Some C-rank Hunters had passed out.
"Those who did not pass the test. You all will need to retake the test after resting for 3 hours until we finish this test for three days. And those who passed, don't think you are exempt to the next test. It will be your training." Min Ari said seriously. The coy expression, she was showing to Kim Yo-han was replaced with a chilling expression.
The three newbies felt a chill running down their spine. "Yes!"
"Now, camp out!" Min Ari ordered the C-rank hunters. When she turned her attention to Kim Yo-han her expression softened.
"Yo-han, we will stay in this dungeon for three days. Is it okay to you?"
"Yeah. I don't mind." Kim Yo-han sweated. This girl is showing so much affection to him.
Despite lacking some reaction, Kim Yo-han couldn't deal with the shining pink light in Min Ari's thoughts. As the two of them kept chatting with each other, the more Min Ari became even more affectionate.
Min Ari is also a girl. She likes to read romance novels. She is someone who believes in love at first sight... Since she has pride as an S-ranker. It was hard for her to find a romantic partner. Some handsome guys wanted her but they weren't her type. Those men only want to get into her pants.
But when she saw Kim Yo-han her unmovable heart skipped a beat. She didn't want to throw this chance away. The women around her are also eyeing him, which means his charm is incredible.
"Tsk! Captain Min is a sly woman. I never thought a woman like her would be intimate with a man."
"Sigh, who can blame her? Yo-han-ssi is so handsome. I also want to chat with him... Captain Min is so selfish."
"Right~ Oppa is so cool. I want to replace Captain Min."
The girls gossip with each other. Loathing Min Ari for being a fox. They didn't dare to face Min Ari. Among them, the newbies were also gossiping about the same thing.
They heard the Famous Min Ari, The Blazing Empress. With her fire magic, she could destroy mountains. Such attributes correlate to a fiery temper but it was the opposite.
Due to her fiery beauty, there were thousands of men trying to get her attention. But, Min Ari would always ignore those men, with a cold expressionless face.
This is the first time the newbies saw the Famous, Blazing Empress getting coy with a man. The girls in the newbie groups squealed as they glanced at Kim Yo-han. They know what the empress is feeling.
...
2 days had passed.
"Out of 103 recruits, 65 had passed. This is better than the last batch... But it seems most of them are females. I wonder why?" Choi Kand-dae read the report while his mouth was still grinning as usual. He knows the reason...
"Guildmaster! Something happened!" An A-rank hunter barged at the tent where Choi Kang-dae is doing his job.
"Oh, what is it?" Choi Kang-dae replied clamly.
"Some unknown people are attacking us. Captain Min Ari and Li Jinghyun tried to interrogate them but they suddenly attacked us."
"I see. It seems troubles has come. Great, I'm getting bored this days. I think my muscles are getting rusty." Choi Kang-dae crunch his hands into fist. The grin on his face became clear. His eyes looked like a predator.
