Chapter 81 – Clan (4)
Lately.
“Kyaaaaagh!!”
Lee Yeon-hee screamed of joy after receiving the acceptance letter.
Tears welled up. Every day has been a nightmare since her mother passed away. I couldn’t handle a rapidly declining family.
‘Five, five hundred in one month…?’
It was the first time she knew her hospital bills were so expensive.
Having become the head of the household, she felt weighed down by the burden on her shoulders.
The school I went to immediately closed. I moved from part-time job to job, but I couldn’t afford even half of the hospital bills.
I couldn’t get a job with the major I learned. Because there was no company in this industry that would hire undergraduates who hadn’t even graduated.
When the debt only increased. Awakened like a miracle.
It felt like I had found a hole in the sky that was really falling apart. But the hole was too narrow.
‘Summoning stones.’
It didn’t help the fight at all. That said, she couldn’t fight a monster with her bare body, let alone her martial arts, as she had never exercised before.
Someone approached her in despair at her continued rejection of the party. If it’s okay with porters, I’ll contact them to come to their party.
‘Ugh… So, goose bumps.’
But when I went there, I was very suspicious. The eyes of the party members were strange. She looked at her and licked her lips again.
Lee Yeon-hee seemed to know what a mouse in front of a cat felt like.
“Crazy. Are you going to quit now?”
“I’m sorry.”
She eventually left the place as if she were running away.
Belatedly, hearing rumors about them in the Hunter community, Mogol complained.
It was said that half of the porters who entered the rift with them did not return alive.
After that, I didn’t have the confidence to be a porter.
‘What do we do..’
There were many posts of hunters similar to him on the Internet. Hunters unfit for battle.
In particular, as soon as they woke up, those who quit their previous jobs and jumped into the hunter-up tasted the bitter taste.
There were also hopeful writings.
Even if you’re a porter, if you join a good clan, at least you won’t get in trouble.
It was written that if you learn about the rift and the grade goes up, you will eat and live.
I read it and made up my mind. Then, I found the Salvation Clan.
‘Only basic salary of 500 for room and board, separate profit from cracks? Wow..’
The conditions were so good that it was worthy of an award. After hesitating, he made up his mind after seeing the news about the clan leader.
‘SH Smith is a company I know. I don’t think anyone would use them as models in a place like this.’
When I was about to apply, I felt so insignificant, but I applied with my eyes closed.
Because she didn’t have her back.
*
The moment Lee Yeon-hee saw her high school secretary, her eyes fluttered. I wondered if this was a normal clan.
But she couldn’t run away again.
‘Mi, let’s believe.’
She took a deep breath and clenched her fists. Fortunately, the fearful situation that I had been in was gradually farther away.
“This is a restaurant. You can come down and eat it whenever you want.”
The food prepared in a buffet style was lined up. Preservation magic circles were shining softly on all food plates.
The classmates who didn’t know much about the magic circle just liked it. However, Lee Yeon-hee was shocked.
Her major is magic engineering. She knew how expensive magic circles were.
‘Eh, how much is this…’
“Has everyone eaten?”
“Ah.. I’m still.”
“I ate.”
Ida Som, the chief secretary, nodded to her, and she said.
She said, “There are desserts, so I will give her classmates time to get to know each other and talk. I’ll be back in an hour.”
She sat with her classmates huddled together. She was awkward at first, but the conversation quickly came and went.
“Is the restaurant better than I thought?”
“Iknow, right. Oh! This is delicious.”
Lee Yeon-hee piled food like a mountain and held back the desire to eat it. I filled the plate with things that looked as delicious as possible.
Each dish was exquisitely delicious. Growing up rather poor, there were many foods she had never seen before.
For the first time, she realized how delicious meat juices can be.
‘This melts in your mouth. It’s free.’
There were also people who appeared to be office workers in the restaurant. They were eating casually.
This kind of food is everyday.
She coughed at the same motive that scared her into the chicken coop quarters, she said.
“Oh, the food is fine. The accommodation might be better than I thought.”
“How was the last clan?”
“In the first place… There was no Clan House like this. We just went around the cracks and bought and ate nearby.”
“Ah..”
“Now that I think about it. It just felt like a party agency.”
Lee Yeon-hee nodded and turned her head.
A healer girl named Seo Ga-yoon was arrogantly eating the dessert as if she were praising it.
“Um… Not bad.”
After eating the dumplings sprinkled with pure white powder, she nodded her head slightly. I guess she liked it.
Lee Yeon-hee, who was curious, also tried the same dessert.
“Suck..!”
Tears seemed to flow from the heavenly taste. It felt like hugging myself. The taste of sweet happiness.
‘Ha.. Mmm, it’s delicious..’
*
Lee Yeon-hee held back the admiration that leaked out from time to time. Now I just thought it was a good idea to apply for this clan.
Accommodation was provided to each individual room.
It was larger than the house she and her mother had lived in. She rents an officetel that is likely to cost hundreds of millions of won for free.
“Hey, are you really alone here?”
“Yeah. There are many empty rooms.”
It was a brand new building, so the facilities were good.
The story about the chicken coop that my classmate had scared me of had already disappeared from the other side of my head.
“This is the training room.”
“Wow..!”
“We have a group training room and an individual training room.”
Lee Yeon-hee’s eyes twinkled. However, there was one training room with exceptionally good facilities. Even the latest magic circles were installed on the walls and floors.
She was recognizable as something related to her major.
‘It’s a little different, but… A soundproof magic circle… Clean? Wow, I heard this is expensive.’
Just installing the magic circle doesn’t end there. Maintenance costs are high because magic power must be continuously supplied.
Seo Ga-yoon’s eyes, which had not responded so far, also twinkled.
“Wow! This room is especially good. Uh? Do you have a bed and a shower room?”
Her sudden question made her high school secretary’s face slightly reddened.
“Hmmmm… This is a special training room. I’ll use it when I receive magic training lessons from the clan leader.”
“A magic training method?!”
A magic training method that is secretly taught only to core personnel in large guilds. Tell me that
“Later, when you become a formal guild member, the clan leader will tell you directly.”
The pink bed sheets in the training room looked exceptionally soft.

It’s already been a month since I left the academy district.
As the size of the clan grew, big and small problems arose.
Some people were dissatisfied with the fact that Han So-young, who had just awakened, was the vice-clan leader. However, the dissatisfaction disappeared after a couple of couples.
“Kyaaaaagh!”
It was because during the sparring, she was beaten by the barrier-clad fist.
The most important thing in the hunter industry was skill. It was natural enough to entrust each other’s lives and enter the rift.
Maybe it’s because he’s the owner of the building, so even though he gave it to his clan members, he still had money left over. Now, even without doing anything, I am receiving tens of thousands of won a month.
‘It’s so… So good.’
Right now, only Han So-yeong and Lee Da-hye were hugging each other, but as time passed and they had a sense of belonging to the clan, they planned to hug each other one by one.
He now has a few problems left to solve.
One of them is Lee Yeon-hee.
Her physical talents were hopeless.
I didn’t have too much stamina. Her cracks weren’t as formidable as the one she had been keeping away from her workouts.
It’s a lot of hard work just to go through the forest where there is no road. It’s not for nothing that hunters receive basic education at the academy.
‘Should I say it’s fortunate?’
Now that this had happened, I was thinking of bringing up the story of alchemy.
***
In the hunter industry, it was natural for the superiors to speak rudely.
It was also because of the quick order in case of emergency, and also to clarify the command authority in the crack.
“I heard from Mr. Yeon-hee’s deputy clan leader that his stamina is very weak?”
“Ah···! That, sorry about that!”
“No. It’s better.”
Lee Yeon-hee’s face turned white as if she had accepted it. I don’t know what she’s misunderstanding, but she was more surprised before she spoke.
“Your major is magic engineering, but how about a non-combat job? I’m willing to support the alchemist as well, if you don’t mind.”
She was staring into the air with her pale face. She wasn’t listening at all.
“Black..”
Then, with a sad face, she started to cry.
“Why are you crying? You don’t want to be an alchemist like that?”
“Huh.. Yes, yes..? Alchemy.. Sorcerer?”
Lee Yeon-hee’s mouth opened slightly.
“If you don’t like it, just continue fighting…”
“I’ll do it!!”
It seemed that he now understood what I was talking about. She said earnestly.
“Please let me do it. Please!”
“Is that what you really want to do?”
“Yeah!! I really want to do it. Please do it!”
I even used false detection just in case. I was going to give you otherworldly knowledge, but I couldn’t give it to someone who didn’t want it.
‘Hmm… That’s true.’
First, the mana contract I bought at the Karma Shop was firmly promised to keep secrets.
“What I will tell you in the future and what is happening now are all secrets. You can’t tell anyone.”
“Yeah! I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Introduction to Basic Alchemy”
A basic alchemy book I bought on my day off from the academy world. It was a best-selling steady seller.
It was a book that even Lee Yeon-hee could read because it was the same Korean language.
‘Come to think of it, it sounds like a strange word.’
I thought about it for a while, but couldn’t figure out anything.
She traced the magic circle on the very first page with an alchemy pen. Alchemy aptitude determination magic circle. It was supposed to test the flexibility of mana, but I didn’t know the details.
It was enough just to know the talent for alchemy.
“Just drop a drop of blood here.”
“Ah yes.”
Lee Yeon-hee’s eyes were trembling violently with only her alchemy pen. Even this pen that draws a magic circle simply doesn’t exist in this world.
‘Oh… Superlative? If you have low innate magical power, I can help you. That’s good.’
I flipped through the book and looked at the next one. I was thinking of helping you out here.
“Can you do the basic magic training method written here?”
“Now, wait a minute.”
Lee Yeon-hee closed her eyes and groaned for a while, but there was no change either.
It was almost impossible for an F-class Hunter to manipulate the magical power in his body at will.
“I will help you.”
The time has come to use the special training room.
