Chapter 7 - CHAPTER 7

Jin-Hyuk and Deok-Gu exited the Association and headed towards Jin-Hyuk's Home .

 

"Hey , Jin-Hyuk let's spar "

"What ?"

"Let's spar to see who is the strongest "

"Is there a need ? I am definitely the strongest "

"I don't accept "

-sigh- "Okay , let's go to the training ground of the Association"

"Let's go"

"But , first I have to ask the Association President"

 

Jin-Hyuk called the Association President and said

 

" Hello , President ?"

"Yes , what is it Jin-Hyuk ssi ?"

"I need to ask for a favor "

"Please tell me "

"Can I borrow the Association Training Ground for 2 hours ?"

"Why suddenly ?"

"Actually , Deok-Gu is asking for a spar between us S-Rankers "

"Haha , you are really something Jin-Hyuk ssi"

"Sorry for disturbing"

"No problem , you can use the training ground "

"Thank You "

"And Jin-Hyuk ssi don't ask every time when you are gonna use the training ground . Show your hunter license and enter "

"Okay , Thank You President"

-beep-

 

"What did the President say ?"

"Let's Go to the training Facility"

"Yay!!"

 

Jin-Hyuk and Deok-Gu went to the training facility where there were guards from the Hunter's Association standing in front of the gate

 

Hmm , the security is indeed tight . Those two are A-Rank Hunters

 

"Please show us your Id before entering"

 

Jin-Hyuk and Deok-Gu smiled and gave them their hunter's license . As soon as they saw their license the guards expression changed .

 

"Sorry , we didn't recognise the S-Ranks of Korea"

"No problem , I am still not famous though " said Jin-Hyuk

"And I awakened just 3 days ago so I am not too popular either " said Deok-Gu

"No no , you both are already famous from being S-Ranks "

"Thank you , Now can we enter ?"

"Yes , of course "

 

Jin-Hyuk and Deok-Gu took their hunter's license and went in. It was a big hall where there were seats surrounding the arena . It was big enough for atleast 10,000 audience . The arena itself was large and had three doors on their sides . On one door , it was written "Weapon Room" .

 

Jin-Hyuk and Deok-Gu went towards the weapon room to select their weapons . Jin-Hyuk scanned his license on the scanner next to the door and it opened . Jin-Hyuk went towards the section of the long swords and took a mythril sword .

"Hmm , this looks pretty good " Jin-Hyuk thought

 

Even though he took his weapon Deok-Gu was still confused as to which weapon is good for him . Jin-Hyuk went towards Deok-Gu and asked

 

"Why are you so confused ?"

"I don't know which weapon will suit me best "

"Wait a moment , I am selecting one for you"

 

Jin-Hyuk roamed around the weapon hall once and took out a small dagger from the Dagger section

 

-Ti-ting

-[Skill : Eye Of Gluttony(SSS)] activated

-WEAPON : DAGGER

-RANK : A

-EFFECTS : Damage Resistance +30%

 Physical Attack Damage +20%

 

Jin-Hyuk handed the dagger to Deok-Gu and told him to use it . Deok-Gu was confused at first but when he used the dagger he felt an unusual familiarity with the weapon . It seemed like he is used to using daggers for fights .

 

Jin-Hyuk and Deok-Gu came to the arena and stood opposite to each other at a distance of about 10 metres . Jin-Hyuk said

 

" I am telling you the rules . We can use any skills we want and the winner will be decided on the basis of fighting . If the weapon leaves the hand or the other person gets exhausted the other person will win. Understood ?"

"Understood "

"Let's begin "

 

Deok-Gu charged towards Jin-Hyuk with full speed but Jin-Hyuk smirked and activated his skill

-Ti-ting

-[Skill : Glacier Formation (EX) ] activated

 

Jin-Hyuk froze the ground and formed an ice spike in Deok-Gu's path . He managed to dodge it but Jin-Hyuk was already ready with a hundred ice spikes which he launched towards Deok-Gu at full speed . Deok-Gu dodged each one of them but he was slightly bruised in some places . Deok-Gu launched himself towards Jin-Hyuk but as he was about to hit him Jin-Hyuk disappeared .

 

-Ti-ting

-[Skill : Sword Demon King's Steps (SSS)] activated

 

Jin-Hyuk said "You are fast but it's still not enough to catch me"

 

-Ti-ting

-[Skill : Grave Of Swords (SSS)] activated

 

Jin-Hyuk jumped towards Deok-Gu and started to slash him from every side but Deok-Gu dodged and blocked trying his best to free himself from Jin-Hyuk's grasp . Deok-Gu's senses were heightened and he was able to dodge most of the attacks . Deok-Gu managed to form some distance between them .

 

-Ti-ting

-[Skill : HellFlame(EX)] activated

 

Jin-Hyuk launched a ball of purple-blue fire towards Deok-Gu which he barely managed to dodge . As soon as Deok-Gu dodged and leaped sideways to avoid the fireball he saw Jin-Hyuk standing exactly in front of him and pointed his sword towards Deok-Gu's neck just 5 inches away .

 

"Bingo!!" Jin-Hyuk exclaimed as he sheathed his sword

"Looks like the winner is decided "

-sigh- " You win Jin-Hyuk"

 

Suddenly , they both heard a clapping sound from above . Both were startled for a second before looking up and saw Cha Seol-Ah sitting in the audience gallery . Cha Seol-Ah got up and jumped inside the arena and landed in front of Jin-Hyuk

 

"What are you doing here Seol-Ah ?"

"Whoa , Seol-Ah at first meeting ?" Deok-Gu exclaimed surprised

"This is not exactly our first meeting , we went to a A-Rank dungeon together along with the team 1 of Dawn Guild just this morning"

"That's right . So can I call u Jin-Hyuk oppa from now ?"

"Sure , why not ?" said Jin-Hyuk

"So , why are u here ?"

"When I heard that 2 S-Ranks will be facing each other I wasn't able to control my excitement "

"Oh , so did u watch the full fight ?"

"Yeah"

"Hey , don't forget about me " frowned Deok-Gu

"Right , Seol-Ah I have some matters to discuss with u . Are u free right now ?"

"Yeah , I have something on my schedule but that can be prosponed "

"Good , come with me"

 

Jin-Hyuk and Deok-Gu entered the weapons room again and kept their weapons in their place and came outside . They three exited the training facility as they headed towards the café near the training facility . They entered and took a table . Jin-Hyuk ordered coffee for the three of them and sat on the table beside Deok-Gu .

 

"I want to discuss about our mission and our next course of action for now " Jin-Hyuk said

"Please continue Jin-Hyuk oppa"

"I want this matter to stay here only and no one except the three will know about this information"

"Right" said Cha Seol-Ah

"Done" said Deok-Gu

"I want to ask a question to Seol-Ah first "

"Huh !? S-Sure please continue"

"Seol-Ah how is your guildmaster ? I mean his nature"

"H-He is pretty nice to all the members of the guild espaically his wife the vice guildmaster"

"Did u ever sense any hostility from him or bloodlust ?"

"No , he doesn't get angry often"

 

"Just as I suspected" thought Jin-Hyuk

 

"Do u perhaps know his skills or the type he usually uses ?"

"He goes to dungeons rarely but he uses flames if he does . So , I think he is a mage"

"Don't mind if the news I am telling u catches u off-guard . But I think your guild is related to the Demonic Humans "

This statement really caught Cha Seol-Ah off-guard for a few seconds

"W-Why do u think that ?"

"Your GuildMaster uses flames but do you know what his actual skills is ?"

"Actual skill ??"

"Yes , he is a Necromancer "

"What ??"

"Yes , the president said that these demonic humans are also necromancers "

"Y-Yeah I remember . But this is unbelievable "

"I will ask for a favor from you "

"W-What ?"

"Please keep the guildmaster in your sight for as long as possible . Specially during night "

"O-Okay , no problem"

"Hey , I want to say something" said Deok-Gu

 

Both of them forgot about the presence of Deok-Gu for few minutes

"What ?" said Jin-Hyuk

"My role in this mission ?"

"I told u that u are way less experienced for this mission . So I have to train u for atleast this week "

"Okay , I don't mind" said Deok-Gu with an immature expression

"Seol-Ah , please watch over the guildmaster for this week . If u find anything useful inform me "

"Alright , oppa"

"Now , let's head back "

 

Jin-Hyuk , Cha Seol-Ah and Kim Deok-Gu exited the café as Seol-Ah headed towards her guild Jin-Hyuk and Deok-Gu continued their way towards Jin-Hyuk's home .
