Chapter 73 – 73. Class C Is Busy

Choi Yi-yeon frowned at him while checking the message. He involuntarily strained his feet and the thing under him screamed.

“Turn it off!”

Looking down at her own feet with her cold eyes, she kicked it in the abdomen with her shoe. Puck! It wriggled in her pain with a clatter and rolled across the floor in her ensuing shock.

After making sure it wasn’t moving anymore, she turned her attention back to the message.

‘A brazen man?’

It was a word rarely used by the general public.
That would be someone from the church, or at least someone with some knowledge about exorcism.

She called the number from which her text message came and asked for details, but the reply she got back was that she didn’t send it.

‘A young man borrowed a phone and sent a message?’

Smelling something suspicious, she called somewhere. Before the signal rang twice, a dry male voice came over the phone.

─Yes, Judge Choi.

“I will send you a number, so check the CCTV near the cultural center to find out who sent the message to this number. Also, look out for a hunter named Yujea. There is a report that he is a brat.”

─I see.

“What happened to the pillars?”

─All three of them succeeded in persuasion.

“I am fortunate. I know.”

After hanging up her phone, Choi Yi-yeon muttered, frowning at her in disgust as she watched it disappear as black smoke.

“Damn Krapin bastards.”

When she went around the D-class gate, she was notified that she had passed the test through the Hunter app within a few days.

All three of us became C-class hunters without exception. After a brief self-congratulation, when they headed to the SSLK training center the next day, Su-ri Lee called the passers-by.

When I said something, it was an advertisement about mentoring.
While listening to Lee Soo-ri’s explanation, I carefully looked at the first of the two prints handed out by the trainer.

‘If I become a B grade, I have to work for SS Knights for 2 years?’

Even if you get loot, you have to pay 2% of the profits to the mentor. No matter how good the relationship with the B class is, this isn’t it.

I had no intention of joining the SS Knights in the first place.

After the promotion of mentoring, the explanation of guild points began.

Simply put, if you bring the loot, you will change it to guild points. I was able to purchase various products with the exchanged guild point loan.

I looked at the second print.
At the top of the product list was the jacket worn by E-cup beauty guardian, Yirura.

‘This is a bit appealing.’

The desire to collect soared, but looking at the required guild points, it seems impossible. 100,000 guild points. One hwajeongseok is 1,000.

‘Other than that…’

Weapons made of attribute stones caught my eye.
The sword he is using now is a good sword, but it was true that it could not compare to a sword made of such a special material.

‘In addition, Ha-ryun and my sister have to change their equipment.’

After i-shopping, I looked at the back page and there was a list of gates where loot could be obtained.

Reverse Gate, Hidden Gate.
And independent gates?

It was a type of gate that did not appear in the Hunter app.
There was even a sentence written in front of it saying that it was managed by the SS Knights.

When asked about this, Lee Soo-ri gave a short answer.

“It is a time-limited gate that occurs when the reverse gate is closed.”

I nodded and turned my gaze back to the print. Most of them were B-class or higher gates, but there were also places with C-B written on them. It was a place where mana stones were given as trophies.

‘…It’ll be worth a visit later.’

Before becoming a B-class, if you can use magic consciously, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to go and experience it.

After the promotional time was over, Soo-ri Lee gave a brief briefing on the upcoming training and sent the successful applicants away.

You worked hard, so you said you should take a break this week.
There is flexibility though. I thought it was going well, so I headed to the hive battlefield with my lovers.

At this point, I was thinking of getting a girl from the C-class gate.

“Hey, so where are you going?”

“The Ruins of the Human Hunters.”

“Where does that wolf come from?”

I nodded my head at Seol Dajin’s question.
The C-level gate ‘The Ruins of Human Hunters’ was where the werewolves came out, as she said.

I chose this place in the first place for two reasons.
One was that it took less time than other C-class gates, and the other was that the boss monster was honest.

There is no such thing as a gimmick like a puppet master in a puppet theater, so all you have to do is fight simply and honestly as you have been doing until now.

Instead, the monsters belonged to the stronger side, though.

After completing the attack application and heading to the heart of the battlefield, the C-class hunters who come and go are silent. Certainly, the manners are different from the D-class hunters.

“Everyone is kind…”

“It could be because we are SSLK.”

…Is it?

Anyway, after reaching our destination, we briefly warmed up and stepped into the gate we applied for.

When I opened my eyes, what I could see was the scenery inside the small house that had become Pungbibaksan. The house built of wood and soil looked similar to that of the Middle Ages, seen only in movies and dramas.

“Brother.”

Jeong Ha-ryun pointed to the floor where bloodstains remained.
Bloodstains ran from where the bed was supposed to be to the outside.

Holding the sword, I asked Seol Da-jin to look outside through the window and carefully opened the door.

After confirming that no one was around, we went outside.

‘It’s so sad.’

There were three more houses around, but I didn’t feel the slightest presence. Silence the sound and follow the bloodstains up the hill.

Whoops, Kwajik!… Whoops.

In front of a house that looked twice as big as the other house, a werewolf with gray fur was lying on his face.

‘…Crazy.’

Scattered around it was blood and bones that appeared to be human.

I knew it through the gate information column, but seeing it in person was more shocking than I thought. I endured the upset inside and looked at the lovers.

They, too, were biting their lips and enduring disgust.

‘…I was worrying for nothing.’

I felt like a fool for worrying that I might be shocked and make a mistake. They are also hunters who came all the way here by catching countless monsters, just like me.

With her slightly embarrassed face, she sent her signal to Jeong Ha-ryun, and as if she had waited, she raised her magic wand.

At that time.

Sniff, sniff… Kreung?

The one with his head down sniffed and looked straight in our direction. My image is captured in the beast’s yellow eyes.

“Chit.”

It was already too late for a surprise attack with magic bullets.
As I ran toward him, Seol Da-jin kicked the ground after me.

Aww!!!

After a long howl, the guy leaped and swung his sharp claws.

Caan!!

Sparks fly as his nails collide with his sword.
Then there’s the pretty heavy impact. In terms of strength, it seems to be twice as strong as Puppet Doll.

‘But.’

It wasn’t too heavy.
Once again, I hit my claws with all my might. Seol Da-jin uses the gap to dig into the werewolf’s arms.

A fiercely shot fist hit the guy’s abdomen, and two fists in succession landed in his chest.

The werewolf backing away swings his arms with a roar of rage. Seol Da-jin, who twisted his upper body to avoid the attack, stepped back.

‘The strong current of the heart.’

The magic power wrapped around the sword struck the wolf’s head.
It was after Jeong Ha-ryun’s magic had already been completed when the fallen guy shook his head and got up.

Quaang!!!

With the explosion, a part of the upper body was blown off and the werewolf’s body collapsed. After confirming the kill by inserting a sword into his neck, I approached the spot where he was stabbing his muzzle.

The bone fragments, which seemed to be human, crumbled and flew away as dust. As if I could sleep comfortably now.

“Hey, come.”

If you tried to pray for peace of mind with a complicated mind, Seol Da-jin told you to prepare. As she said, another werewolf was running from the forest under the hill.

You must have heard the howl of the man you just killed.
I asked as I looked at the guy who was running at terrifying speed.

“Haryeon-ah, can you guess?”

“I don’t know.”

“Then just blow it all up.”

If one isn’t enough, shoot five.

Jung Ha-ryun nodded and fired a bomb.
Five explosions occurred within a few meters away, and the werewolf bounced off and rolled in front of us.

The fur was tanned, but there were no major injuries. A direct hit was avoided.

“Where are you going to wake up?”

Hit the guy who tries to stand up on the ground with a giant stream. After that, Seol Da-jin slammed the back of his head with his foot. Beside him, Jeong Ha-ryun, with an angry expression, was kicking.

Well, it was the first time that he didn’t die despite using bombs, so his pride was hurt.

After waiting for a while while making him meat, I saw another werewolf running from the forest.

It was two this time.
Perhaps they were conscious of Jeong Ha-ryun’s bombardment, and they were running away from each other.

I said when I put my sword in the werewolf’s back.

“My sister and Ha-ryun take charge of the left.”

“Call me if you feel like you’re going to be pushed.”

“No way.”

At Seol Dajin’s words, I burst into laughter.
It is said to be much stronger than Puppet Doll, but that is all.

I was sure from the moment I blocked the first guy’s attack. If you use the giant heart, you can overwhelm one of them alone.

Immediately after Jeong Ha-ryun’s bombing.
I swung my sword at the guy who lunged at me.
