397 The Path of Learning (2) ‘Get inside the classroom!’ ‘Don’t come out!’ ‘Hurry!!’ The commands were sharp and firm. There was no time to ask what was happening. Woo Hee-jae dashed out to the field, Kim Chaemin following in his wake. Still, those stern words were enough to make her hesitate and head for the classroom, where the Hunters from Dasun approached. They repeated the same warning. ‘Don’t come outside.’ The school staff gathered as well—nurses,…

396 The Path of Learning (1) Yoo Ji-eun was bored. And with good reason—there was simply nothing to do at this school. Lately, there had been more activities, what with the so-called “hobby tour” and all, but… It still wasn’t enough. An empty classroom had been turned into a cute little library, there was now an audiovisual room for watching movies or playing games, and there was even a badminton net set up in a corner of the field. Lee Seung-yeon had put that up, but the ones who…

395 Greeting (4) ‘Come out. Now.’ ‘…….’ ‘You’re not coming out?’ ‘Uh…’ ‘Number 2. Stay put.’ ‘…….’ ‘I said, come out.’ ‘…….’ A cold silence. Without thinking, I gripped the hem of his clothes, and a gentle hand pried my fingers loose, careful to keep the woman at the door from seeing. Slowly, I got to my feet. The hem of his black clothes brushed past my nose. I reached out again, but before my fingers could touch, he moved away.…

394 Greeting (3) “Hee-jae!” Unlike Hope, who radiated clear displeasure, Tati, the dungeon’s fairy, gave Hope only a single glance before completely ignoring her. I thought, since she was a monster herself—well, formerly, at least—she might react in some way, but I hadn’t expected her to dismiss Hope so thoroughly. Was it proof that Hope, after losing those wings, was now entirely human in every sense? If you carried something like that on your back, even monsters wouldn’t see you as…

393 Greeting (2) “Uwaaah!!” Han Taekyung shook himself off with a loud yell, mud splattering onto the ground. “……” I glanced at him, then looked up at the sky. Unlike the pitch-black dungeon, the sun blazed in a cloudless sky, dazzling my eyes. We hadn’t actually spent that long in the dungeon, but it felt as though we’d been inside for ages. I could guess the reason for that feeling, but I chose to blame the least burdensome cause. Humans are meant to live under sunlight.…

392 Greeting (1) Short-cropped hair. Eyes fixed on the camera. An awkwardly stiff smile at the corners of her mouth. Shoulders held tense with effort. And yet, on the face beneath the police uniform, there was a pride that could not be hidden. I couldn’t tell when the photo was taken. But considering what happened to Kim Yuhwa, it must have been quite some time ago. Perhaps it was from when she had just become a police officer. What was that young officer in the photograph thinking…

391 Inside (3) The strategy for clearing this remote dungeon in Gangwon Province is laughably simple. Catching the crocodiles that inhabit the dungeon isn’t exactly easy. Even if they can’t see, that doesn’t mean their other senses are dull. Besides, in modern society, what really raises the difficulty of a dungeon isn’t the form of the monster, but its size. No matter how big a human gets, it’s hard to surpass two meters. But monsters? There’s no limit. And compared to humanoid…

390 Inside (2) “A missing police officer.” “Police?” Hope’s eyes widened, as if she hadn’t expected that answer. “She was a police officer who went undercover inside the Ark and then lost contact.” “Oh…” Hope let out a sound that was somewhere between a sigh and a murmur of awe, then walked further in. She stopped in front of the crow mask, gazing down at it in silence before speaking softly. “Did you know her?” “Personally? No.” “But she…

389 Inside (1) “You know,” Alex Hope spoke up, slowly, as she checked her raincoat once more. “It’s true the school was suffocating. Not that I’m trying to complain, but do you know how hard it is to avoid the kids’ eyes?” She’d already complained plenty, so I had no idea what she was getting at. “There’s nothing fun to do, either!” “What are you trying to say?” “I mean, I did ask how long I’d have to keep hiding because I was bored! But still!” Hope…

388 Clue (3) Sometimes… no, honestly, quite often, I find myself wondering how my life ended up like this. It’s both in a bad sense and a good one. It’s not healthy to assign meaning to every step you take in life. But you can still look back on the road you’ve traveled, can’t you? To figure out whether you’ve lived well, or if you’ve failed as a human being. In that regard, I have no shame. I don’t think my life has been without crises, but all things considered, I’d say…

387 Clue (2) Through my personal experiences, the time I’ve spent caring for Uirok, and the lessons I’ve learned teaching the students at Yangseong High, I’ve come to realize something. Children are always eager to know secrets. …Of course, this isn’t something limited to children alone, but when it comes to being easy to handle, it’s certainly more true for them. Especially the ones who think themselves clever—those are the ones most curious about the secrets of adults. Among…

386 Clue (1) “…It’s not my fault.” “Did anyone say it was your fault?” Sitting in the passenger seat, Hong Seok-yeong snickered. “Why are you so lacking in confidence?” “It’s not that…” “You shouldn’t apologize when you haven’t done anything wrong.” Hong Seok-yeong spoke with a voice tinged with laughter. “Even if you really did something wrong, you should still act with confidence.” “That’s not right.” “Why not?” “What do you…

385 Tied Feet (3) “To be blunt, I’ve been led around by the nose this whole time.” Hong Seok-young began his story without holding anything back. He was so utterly unreserved that Mr. Daniel, who was almost certainly affiliated with some American intelligence agency, shifted uncomfortably in his seat. “The U.S. government is no help at all. They don’t know how to do anything.” Yet Daniel said nothing. And Daniel was beginning to resemble more and more the pitiable victim of a…

384 Tied Feet (2) Hong Seok-young is strong. No one can deny that. But when it comes to the question of just how strong Hong Seok-young is, there’s inevitably a degree of subjectivity involved. Is Hong Seok-young the strongest in the world? He would be the first to deny it. Yet people love to rank things, and whether online or in the real world, there is always talk about who the strongest hunter is. For over a decade, Hong Seok-young’s name has never once been absent from those…

383 Tied Feet (1) Brrring. A classic, uninspired ring—devoid of even a hint of creativity. As if playing a game of tag, the moment one phone rang, others began to follow in quick succession. Groans echoed from various desks around the room. "Hello, this is Hunter Training High School." "...No, not at the moment." "If you're a student..." With a satisfied expression, I glanced around the director's office. Even though it was called the director's office, Imi-seon's time at…

382 Girl of Dreams (5) Thirty minutes ago. The Grand Conference was proceeding in a relaxed atmosphere. According to Alain Richard, there hadn’t been a conference this peaceful in years. In fact, he said it was the first time he’d seen one like this. European mages, huh... Well, I can’t say I was surprised. I’d been curious to see what kind of train wreck might unfold. But I knew why things had turned out this way, instead of the disaster I’d half-expected. Was it because of…

381 Girl of Dreams (4) A rose that absorbs magic. Kim Chaemin even showed me data on what happened when she transplanted the rose into contaminated soil. Just a single rose. It didn’t have a dramatic impact on the polluted land, but you could see with the naked eye that the ground, which had turned unnatural colors like factory wastewater, had regained a bit of its original hue. “It depends on the type of contamination, but it definitely worked on land tainted by monster poison or magic.…

380 Girl of Dreams (3) Once upon a time, there lived a kind and gentle mage who loved tending gardens. “Isn’t ‘kind’ and ‘gentle’ the same thing?” “Be quiet.” “Yes.” The kind and talented mage cultivated a beautiful garden of her own. Her favorite flower was the rose she’d inherited from her grandfather, but her garden wasn’t filled with roses alone. The mage wanted to help others with the flowers she grew... “Wasn’t she already grown up?” “Don’t…

379 Girl of Dreams (2) “…A school, you said?” The reporter in front of me barely managed to swallow her confusion, though she couldn’t hide the tremor in her voice or the uncertainty in her eyes. Honestly, at this point, it wasn’t so much that she was hiding her surprise as simply wearing it openly. Still, the fact that she kept the interview going was something. “Yes. A school. So that young Awakened can learn about dungeons and monsters.” “Uh, um… so that’s why it’s a…

378 Girl of Dreams (1) ‘Her? She’s just annoying and a pain to deal with.’ Alex Hope never hesitated to offer his testimony about Noah Michel. It was less testimony and more like a coworker’s complaint—in fact, to be blunt, it was just gossip. And the content, well... it was childish whining, perfectly in line with Hope’s mental age. She annoyed him, she bothered him, that sort of thing. There was some subjectivity mixed in, but Hope was the only one who personally knew Noah…
