"What the heck?!"
"Why are you shouting for Myeong-suk-ssi?"
"Look at the ranking chart! I was curious about it and decided to open it but what the heck!?" Hwang Myeong-suk pointed at the floating panel with a great shock on her face.
The team was having an afternoon chat as they had been practicing their respective breathing exercises for hours. Kim Yo-han also told them to take a rest and not to get into practice too much.
"Oh my." Kim Hayan covered her mouth. She was equally surprised but did not show a reaction like Hwang Myeong-suk.
"W-Why are our Guild t-t-top 1?" Yoon Yuna asked but no one could answer her question.
"Is this some kind of Bug?" Hwang Myeong-suk closed her eyes tightly. She was pretending to think but failed to come up with something.
"Is this Boss doing?" Imchul was also thinking but seeing Kim Yo-han's absence. He could only come up with such a simple question.
"..." Jin Hyunjun stared at the panel for a long time before shaking his head. He doesn't know what his Guildmaster is thinking. 'In my previous life, this Guild did not become number one but the Knights of Round... It should be because of that. Guildmaster is in a hurry. Well, with Guildmaster, I don't have to worry much.'
"Ah, now that I think of it. Where is Yo-han?"
"Oppa said he would take a stroll." Kim Hana replied.
'This girl, calling him Oppa now huh? Sly kid.' Hwang Myeong-suk's face twitched. There is so much competition. "What kind of stroll is it that made our Guild top 1?"
"T-That is-...I have no clue." Kim Hana tried to come up with an answer but she was also clueless.
"Does anyone want to answer my question?" Hwang Myeong-suk asked flatly as she surveyed everyone's expression. Seeing them shaking their head. She gave up.
"M-Maybe we should wait for Yo-han-ssi." Yoon Yuna shakily raised her hand.
"...Haah~ that's the only answer huh? Well, we can only get the answer from the person himself." She sighs while flicking her wrist in exasperation.
"Anyway, I'm close to breaking A-rank. Maybe if we hunt some monsters right now. I will become an A-rank officially. It's not even a month but I have already improved leaps and bounds. Hahaha, following Yo-han wasn't a mistake after all." Hwang Myeong-suk then proceeds to divert the topic.
"I'm a-also close to upgrading! My skill is now A-rank." Yoon Yuna agreed.
"It's thanks to everyone's hard work." Kim Hayan released an elder sister aura and praised everyone. As the oldest person on the team, she sees everyone as her younger siblings. Seeing them happy also made her happy.
She never had to grieve again. Every day was very joyous for her.
"Unnie! Thank you!" Hwang Myeong-suk hugged Kim Hayan and buried her head in the deep valley. Kim Hayan patted her head gently.
Everyone's face has a faint blush being praised by Kim Hayan. It was not the first time they were praised by her, even so, they were not immune to her praises.
Imchul and Jin Hyunjun averted their heads. Such a scene should be erased from their memories. They can't think of any inappropriate thoughts on their Guildmaster's Sister.
"How about we hunt monsters, ourselves? I think we can upgrade our rank and Guildmaster already gave us a map." Jin Hyunjun brought out a map on his terminal.
"Great! Let's go!" Filled with enthusiasm, Hwang Myeong-suk released herself and walked off.
"Um, now that our Guild is at the center of attention. What should we do? I think everyone will become looking for us." Kim Hana raised her hand shyly.
"She has a point. How are we going to tackle this problem?" Hwang Myeong-suk turned around.
"Let's leave it to the Guildmaster. I think he can solve this problem." Jin Hyunjun threw the Guildmaster card. As a regressor, he does not know how to solve this kind of problem.
"Don't worry everyone. I sure know that Yo-han is not doing this without a reason." Kim Hayan followed Jin Hyunjun's suggestion.
"I guess we can only wait for Yo-han. Let's get stronger for now. I think we will have endless troubles in the future now that there is a paint on above our head." Shrugging in defeat, Hwang Myeong-suk continued walking off.
Everyone followed her. They can only wait for their guild master's instruction. They did not blame Kim Yo-han, cause no matter what happened, their gratitude to him surpassed above all.
Kim Yo-han helped them so much they could not repay him. They are even having trouble repaying him. Being ungrateful would be stupid for them.
If he ordered them to go west, they would not go east or anywhere. They will follow until they bleed.
This past few days, they have seen miracles Kim Yo-han has shown them. They are suspecting him that he was hiding his full power. Now that they saw the ranking. They are sure now, that their Guildmaster is one of hella strong.
They saw him fighting a bunch of S-rank monsters, he looked like he was having a hard time with many wounds. However, after the battle, as if nothing had happened. Kim Yo-han's wounds and broken armor were as good as new. As if nothing happened at all.
Furthermore, when some SS-rank monsters decided to sneak attack them. Kim Yo-han killed it instantly. When he was training with his teammates, Kim Yo-han did not rely on his godly senses, so he miscalculated.
He slowly revealed his strength.
Kim Yo-han's plan was simple. To gain the trust of his future comrades, he needs to give them some assurance. He had already seen that everyone could be trusted, so it was their turn to trust him.
Kim Yo-han already told Kim Hayan about Jin Hyunjun then he revealed his capabilities to her. Although, he only told her he was very powerful. He did not say he is a God.
She was very surprised at first and had a lot of questions. Kim Yo-han answered her questions one by one, patiently.
...
[The Battle has ended. The Humans have won the war. The top 10 in Individual and Group ranking will be rewarded]
[Earthlings, you can now freely explore [Paradise]. However, Before you can, Please register your identity. The inhabitants will help you with the procedure.]
[The Link between [Paradise] and [Earth] is now available. However, once you enter [Paradise] you cannot go back to your world for 1 year vice versa. Proceed with caution. The time ratio is 1:10]
[Now, expulsion of the people who did meet the requirements.]
...
[Scouting task completed: 1000 points]
[Total Points: 5,005,000]
"So all our points are joint? That means if one group acquired the minimum requirements we passed?" Hwang Myeong-suk asked.
"No, the minimum requirement is 500 individually. If you open your panel and click on the word points. You can see the total points for a group we should acquire. 500 points x number of people and divided it in half as we are in a group. That's the advantage of having a group." Jin Hyunjun corrected her.
"Oh, I found it. Anyway, how should we deal with that monster?" Hwang Myeong-suk's eyes move and gestures her eyebrows at the monsters lurking in the bushes.
Imchul has already prepared the large shield in front. Hwang Myeong-suk, Jin Hyunjun, and Imchul protected the three girls, Kim Hayan, Kim Hana, and Yoon Yuna.
Kim Hana pulled the bowstring with an arrow attached. Preparing to shoot at any time.
Yoon Yuna prepared a magic spell in advance and the same for Kim Hayan.
The monsters in the bushes showed themselves. They look like a bipedal Hyenas. The fur on their back looked like sharp needles and they were drooling excessively.
"Rawr!"
The Bipedal Hyenas or Berserk Werehynas launched an attack. The force on their leg was powerful, propelling this creature like a grasshopper. These Bipedal Hyenas have teeth and claws of steel as weapons.
They are an A-rank monster. A whole pack will be rated as an S-rank. Luckily, Hwang Myeong-suk and the others only face three of them at this moment.
They didn't panic as this was not the first time they faced opponents a rank higher than them. They even faced S-ranks with the help of their Guildmaster in the name of training which made them exhausted.
...
Far away from his Guild members. Kim Yo-han was standing on top of a Grand Canyon cliff and watching the retreating Demons. No one knows what he is thinking.
Does he hate Demons?
No. Kim Yo-han doesn't hate Demons as he sees a few Demons have good nature. Actually, the stronger the Demon the more they could control their bad temperament. The less the desire for blood and flesh.
However, most of the High-ranking Demons are used to their nature and still eat Humans and other species. Which made Kim Yo-han a human irked...
He isn't righteous but he is not someone who would ignore something he deemed horrible. Call him a hypocrite but he is just a human in the end. He cannot define what is good and evil as a whole, as there is an evil intention in good for some and vice versa.
At the end of the day. Just live your life however you want. If someone tried to stop you, its the time you can accept that not everyone is willing to accept the way you live. When that time comes, just prepare.
