Chapter 75 (2/2)

“I just got the S-Rank title. I don’t have much official dungeon attack experience. I am sure they won’t welcome me,” Su-hyeun said.

“…Yes, you know well. You should have done many dungeon attacks before.”

“It’s a waste of time just going around similar dungeons,” Su-hyeun said.

It was the same story as before. For Su-hyeun, attacking low-level dungeons was just a time-consuming task. Usually, C-Rank awakeners or people who wanted to get Ether stones attacked small dungeons.

“Oh, well.”

Lee Ju-ho shook his head as if he knew it. But unlike what he said, he trusted Su-hyeun a lot.

<> Lee Ju-ho thought.

As far as Lee Ju-ho knew, Su-hyeun joined dungeon attacks no more than 10 times, and most of those attacks were with him. Although they didn’t do them together that many times, Lee Ju-ho could tell Su-hyeun was not a beginner.

<> he thought.

The leader of the raid group was obliged to reveal the rank and raid history to other participants. Perhaps the other guild awakeners would question Su-hyeun’s experience. No matter how strong he was, it was inevitable to doubt him, who did not have much experience.

As Su-hyeun appeared, three people from each guild walked towards him. They were the guild master from three guilds that joined in on attacking this green colored dungeon. They were Gambler, Papillon, and Red Devil Guilds. Su-hyeun shook hands with them one by one, with an indulgent smile.

<> Lee Ju-ho thought.

He had known Su-hyeun for about a year. He was sure he knew a lot about him. Su-hyeun was kind to the point that it made Lee Ju-ho wonder how such a good person could exist. He was strong but did not show off or brag to anyone. He was a nice man and had no patience for injustice. He realized more about Su-hyeun while they had come here together.

However, this did not mean that Su-hyeun was kind to everyone. The Dump Guild was a good example. Also, he became sharp as a razor when people bared their teeth at him or when things were illogical or unjust.

<> Lee Ju-ho continued his thought.

He knew about the many dark things happening in the dungeons. The most dangerous thing in the dungeon was not monsters — it was your fellow human beings. Of course, he could not imagine that Su-hyeun was in any danger.

“What are you doing? Come over here, please!”

At Su-hyeun’s calling, Lee Ju-ho went to close to the crowds. Soon, he exchanged words with many people that he did not want to.

Act 5

Nothing special happened after that. It was already known to the press that the Authority found attacking members for the green-colored dungeon, so the reporters were busy covering the new S-rank Su-hyeun and took photos with the guild masters and Su-hyeun side by side.

Lee Ju-ho also suffered from reporters. He had appeared several times in the broadcast, but it was the first time that he had been covering for a long time with so many people. It was the same for Su-hyeun. He felt that he should have come later. He felt appreciative of Lee Ju-ho’s suggestion to take a car in order to kill time.

“You look tired.”

The guild master of the Papillon Guild approached Su-hyeun. His name was Lee Kang-hee. It was time to prepare personally for a while before entering the dungeon. Su-hyeun was wearing Falcon’s Holy Armor and tidying his sword tightly.

“I’d rather fight the monsters,” Su-hyeun said.

“What can you do? You are already a celebrity. I am sure you will have a lot of these moments,” Lee Kang-hee said.

He wore a smile on his face and laughed in a high tone. His lips were smiling but eyes were not. Su-hyeun looked at his eyes for a moment and replied, “If it is something I can’t help, I guess I have to get used to it.”

“That is a good attitude. I am sorry for being late to greet you. It was because of all the damn many journalists. I look forward to your cooperation.”

“Same here.”

Su-hyeun shook hands with Lee Kang-hee. It was the first official greeting, not a greeting to show to the media.

“But you are so young, and you don’t have much experience…,” Lee Kang-hee spoke in a subtle voice.

Su-hyeun, who knew why he had come to him, nodded his head.

“Yes, you are right.”

“If you need my help, feel free to tell me. Of course, I can’t be compared to you, but I am quite a veteran compared to anyone else about dungeons. Haha.”

Lee Kang-hee’s words meant to give him the role of leader of this attack. That way, Papillon Guild could take more Ether stone after they completed it. Su-hyeun had known that someone would say this to him.

“Thank you for your suggestion,” Su-hyeun said while he got up. “I don’t know if that is going to happen.”

“…What?”

“I want you to take care of the people under you more than anything else. I will not take any responsibility for the accidents caused by personal actions.”

It was an unexpected intimidation. Lee Kang-hee could not close his mouth with embarrassment.

Su-hyeun raised his voice and said, “It’s time! Let’s go!”

At that time, the only person who survived from that dungeon was the guild master, Lee Kang-hee.

Su-hyeun turned his head and looked at the green light in front of Gwangalli Beach. It was the entrance to the green-colored dungeon. Just a month ago, two green dungeons occurred at the same time. And again, a month later, another green dungeon appeared. He came here to check in person. It was not in his memory.

“Did I just not remember this? Or…”

But he knew that was not going to happen. It was the first time that three green dungeons appeared in a row. There was no way he could not remember such a big event.
