123 Chapter 16: Hunters, No Questions (1/2)
Cheol Kin party made their plans before they finally separated from them and disappeared into the forest.
Tae turned to Susu ”Let's go,” who in return followed Tae without any questions.
”Ah! Wait for me” Said the B-rank female who followed then with the two excluded hunters tagging along.
Long had explained to him that all the recruits in this training would be heading into this dungeon for the first time. And that they were trained by the guild first before actually heading into the dungeon. They were unafraid just because they received some education; there is a big difference between hearing about it in the classroom and experiencing it in real life.
In fact, walking around as if they knew the dungeon, the slightest crack in their confidence would bring down their arrogance. It takes time to build something like that which could be broken down in an instant like glass.
Tae already knew the fate of Cheol's party, and that's why he didn't even bother with fool's like them.
”Hey!” the B-rank women said in order to get Tae's attention, Tae turned around and faced the women. ”I am Yue Heejin,” she said looking at the stale gaze that Tae had.
Cheol Kin was leading his party down he thought the party back there were fools to be following an E-ranker.
”Whoa?” he heard one of his party's members say when they approached a tree that had large bear claws on it
Of the beast type magic beats, the bears were just as dangerous as the real-world ones except they were even stronger. As that their E-ranker was leading that group into a large field of them.
'What does an E-ranker know' his expression turned into one of mocking.
'…Wait' he thought 'their team has D-ranks and a B-ranker. So, why did he considerer that e-ranker the leader. 'Well, whatever, they will be dead sooner or later. Cheol decided to focus and put the weaklings over them out of his mind. Afterall the dead are the dead, but the living should strive to keep on living.
”Did you see those markings over there?” Yue said pointing toward the tree logs with large claw marks waged into them ”Those belong to Ice bears, your leading us into a den.”
”I'm not leading you guys, and nobody said that you had to follow u,s” Tae said
”…” Yue was speechless as she had been shut-down like that. But her words made the rest shiver.
Tae clicked his tongue and looked at her condescendingly. Which made Yue double speechless and making her face red from embarrassment.
”What?!” she raised her voice.
”Since it's hard to find an unmarked tree here that means there are a lot
of ice bears, right?”
”Yes, so that's…”
”That's why we are heading into the forest.”
Yue's eyes widen in surprise ”Huh?”
”It means in this forest all we have to worry about is the ice bears.”
”Ah!” Yue mouthed as she finally understood the meaning of Tae's actions 'Why didn't I think of that?' she wondered.
One of the scariest things about a dungeon was that you did not know what is around the corner, including enemies. And in this forest, he could find out everything he needed to know about his enemies before him. And now he knows that no matter how strong these ice bears where they were no doubt weaker than the snow elf's seeing as how many of them where wearing their pelts.
”Why is your face so red?” Tae asked Susu.
”I'm cold,” she said slowly
Tae had forgotten that they where in a colder dungeon he looked at the other hunters who where also shivering, even the B-rank hunter was instinctively doing so while lost in thought.
Opening his inventory, Tae decided to pull [Warm fur Coats] for them.
You have a dimensional pocket” she gasped.
