A week had passed since they arrived at [Paradise]. Kim Yo-han's party became famous. As for how they became known, let's backtrack to what happened for the past week.
On the first day of the war, hundreds of thousands of Demons perished in the war. While only tens of thousands lost their lives on the Human side. That's what Kim Yo-han received from the communication device.
The communication device apparently can be used as a news update. It was convenient.
The next day, Kim Yo-han trained everyone, and he made Kim Hana join the team. The team was very worried about Kim Yo-han's words last night.
Thankfully, due to Kim Hana, they only hunted weak-rank monsters. They thank Kim Hana in their minds. If not for her, they would been through hell.
Unfortunately, the next day they did go through hell. Kim Yo-han did not hold back from training them. Though he is being careful not to let them get killed.
What kind of hell training you asked? Kim Yo-han kited a few A-ranked monsters to use them as training... Yes, a B-rank team with two C-ranks battling against an A-rank. That's suicide.
There is no way they would survive such a thing. They could only curse Kim Yo-han in their minds. Kim Yo-han did not speculate on the battle this time, he joined the team.
Of course, he suppressed his level down to A-ranked and fought against the monsters. How did he fair, you asked? It was terrible.
The reason why he suppressed his rank? It was a simple reason. For him who got this power, is cheating. He doesn't have any hands-on experience.
What about memories? Are you talking about God Lucas's memories? That guy is frivolous, although sometimes he fought, most of the time he was just humping his hips on Goddesses. When he battles against someone, he always has the upper hand. Cause this guy is also a living cheat.
Lucas prioritizes conquering goddesses rather than fighting anyone. Too bad, in the end, due to a lack of fighting abilities he could hold against millions of gods chasing him.
That is why, Kim Yo-han did not want to follow Lucas's path. He wanted a power that could overpower anyone. Because there is a chance someone would recognize him.
He still could not get the words that Lucas told him. The both of them are the same yet not. Kim Yo-han did not know what Lucas meant, even through his memories, Kim Yo-han did not find any clue related to that.
That is why, Kim Yo-han challenged himself in this unfair battle. The battle was very hard even for him, he also suppressed the rank of his skills to the same rank. He didn't want to cheat.
The team training schedule was 6 hours a day. But these 6 hours are hell to them, sometimes if the monsters are very hard to defeat the time would exceed.
For instance, they came across an A-rank Crystal Deer pack. Kim Yo-han has trouble dealing with the deer crystal antlers and its hide is also made of crystal. To defeat one, they had to target the eyes which were guarded by antlers.
Hwang Myeong-suk complained a lot but she didn't give up. She saw the improvements, she was sure she would become an A-rank after a week or two.
Yoon Yuna on the other hand did not complain. It's just his mental health is on the verge of collapsing. She kept experiencing Mana drain and it took a toll on her mind.
Kim Yoh-han was forced to pamper Yoon Yuna by Kim Hayan.
"Yo-han, can you take care of Yuna? She is not feeling well. Sometimes she would be dazed for hours and I couldn't help but be worried for her. Even with my spells, I cannot cure her."
"...I see. I will do what I can." Kim Yo-han thought for a moment before he accepted. This was partly his fault, so he should help his teammate's mental health.
"Good, that girl is very stubborn. I told her to look for you..." Kim Hayan placed her hand on her cheeks while tilting her head. She looked troubled but her intentions were seen through by Kim Yo-han.
Kim Yo-han knows Yoon Yuna's thoughts about him. He doesn't know how to handle it. To be honest, except for the flirting skills in Lucas's memories, In Kim Yo-han's experience, he did not know how to talk to girls except his girlfriend.
Since Lucas's memories are too vulgar. It was hard for Kim Yo-han to do something that suited this kind of situation.
Kim Yo-han approached Yoon Yuna in the nearby clearing. She was sitting cross-leg on top of a tree trunk. Closing her eyes and circulates the mana on the air through breathing.
Yoon Yuna practiced this art, called magic meditation from Kim Yo-han. It's an exercise to expand mana capacity, condense the mana core, purify the impurities, understand the magic through the mantra, and manifest a magic circle.
If there is a ranking system for mages, wizards, and witches. It would be called the magic circle.
Kim Yo-han found this kind of practice in Lucas's memories. If he recalls correctly, it's a thing that the Magic Goddess learned in her world. She is one of the mortals who became a god. In the end, she fell into the hands of the frivolous guy.
The ranking should be, D-rank = 3rd circle, C = 4th circle, until SSS-rank = 9th circle. The reason why the D-rank is comparable to the 3rd circle. It's because in Magic World where the Magic Goddess comes from. Mortals who don't have talent can practice in 2nd circle.
However, there is a massive difference between the 2nd circle and 3rd circle. To explain it, let's start at the 1st circle. To be able to use magic, one should have mana.
Everyone in the Magic world has mana, so they in are 1st circle from the start or the moment they are born. The 2nd circle is to conjure life spells.
Life spells as its name suggests. A spell is necessary for daily life. A small flame to start a fire, water to fill a barrel, a wind to freshen yourself on a hot day, a block of earth to create a shelter, etc. To put it simply, these spells don't have damage enough to use in battle.
So for the 3rd circle and more, it's the start of mage paths. 3rd circle is to condense your mana to create a magic core.
This practice, Kim Yo-han taught everyone about this. Although, only Yoon Yuna, Kim Hayan, and Kim Hana could practice this technique.
However, the other three were not dejected because Kim Yo-han gave them another type of technique. It's called the Aura Breathing Exercise. This type of technique suits them the most as they are not mage type.
Kim Yo-han waited for Yoon Yuna to finish practicing. As he observed her, he could not help but compliment her cuteness in his mind. She is usually timid when facing him.
After an hour or so, Yoon Yuna's eyelashes flutter as she slowly opens her eyes. A person was standing before her, she looked up.
"...Wawawawawa G-G-Guildmater?! W-What are you d-doing here?!" Her face turned red in an instant. She looks left and right in panic.
"Yuna I want to talk with you." Kim Yo-han chuckled seeing her reaction, she was like a lost hamster.
Yoon Yuna was never alone with Kim Yo-han before. She was always with Hwang Myeong-suk or Kim Hayan. Now that she was facing Kim Yo-han alone, she didn't know what to do.
"W-W-What should I-I-I do?" Covering her face with her hand.
"Yuna do you want to come with me for a stroll?" Kim Yo-han reaches out his hand.
Yoon Yuna looked at his hand, she hesitated for a bit before reaching out. Her face is still red from embarrassment.
Kim Yo-han did not mind her shyness. He pulls her with him as they take a stroll. He chatted with her about things and she replied curtly as she was too embarrassed to answer. Stuttering and all.
"Yuna don't force yourself okay? Tell me if you are tired. I don't want any of you to collapse just to pursue strength. Your training is difficult but it's the most effective method... So, I decided we need to take a break from training okay?"
"...Y-Y-You don't have t-t-to stop because of m-m-me. I-I-I don't want to be a b-b-burden." Tears coming out from her eyes.
"Shhh, you are not a burden Yuna. Do not blame yourself. We are not in a hurry after all. No matter the pace we have, we will reach it." Kim Yo-han wipes her tears with his thumb. Caressing her cheeks.
"Un...O-Okay."

"Whose group is this?"
"What the heck? How did they surprise the Knights of Rounds in a single day!?"
"Unknown? Can your name be hidden?"
"I heard that If you enter the top 10, the system will ask you if you want to enter your name."
"For real tho. Who are they? How did they accumulate points in a single day?"
Unbeknownst to them. The group in question is just having the time of their life. Everyone in Nova Elpida doesn't watch the ranking at all as they spend their time training.
Except for one person, Kim Yo-han. He was intrigued by the reward. So what happened?
