249 Safety Device (5) “Why?” Park Seo-hyun, gnawing at the end of her pencil, lifted her head. “Huh?” “Is something bothering you?” Choi Jin-woo pointed at the pencil, now covered in teeth marks. “You always chew your pencil when you’re worried about something.” “Ah. Uh, yeah… No, I’m not worried about anything.” Seo-hyun blushed slightly and slipped the ruined pencil back into her case. For some reason, she felt embarrassed by the mess she’d made of…

250 The Archmage’s Apprentice’s Apprentice (1) …… …… Kim Chae-min slowly looked over the contract again. …… Still, she said nothing. I racked my brain, trying to figure out how to explain this without sounding like a delusional lunatic or a cultist, but there was no way. I should have worried about this back when we were wrestling over the contract. ‘I’m from the future.’ ‘From nineteen years ahead.’ ‘What happened in the future? Everything was…

251 The Archmage’s Disciple’s Disciple (2) “So, when it comes to the manifestation of mana, this method is more efficient than the traditional one, right?” “If you ask me that, I really don’t know.” “Oh, come on! How can you say that?” “I told you, I’m not a mage. I only know the theory—I have no idea how it actually works in practice. Isn’t it simply that this method is used now because it’s more efficient than the previous one?” “Hmmm. Fine. Then, next…

252 The Archmage’s Disciple’s Disciple (3) “…Huh?” Park Seohyun sat up from her dormitory bed. She sensed a surge of mana that shook her entire body. No, strictly speaking, it wasn’t all that strong. It was a faint ripple, like a breeze so gentle you could barely tell if it was blowing at all. Yet Park Seohyun’s expression grew grave as she looked out the window. How often does one sense an artificial wave of mana on a peaceful afternoon? …Not never. If you’re unlucky, you…

253 The Archmage’s Disciple’s Disciple (4) Park Seohyun is acting strange. This… well, there are quite a few sensitive kids at this school. Not that I blame them. It’s a time in their lives when emotions run high, and on top of that, most of them have had pretty rough lives. Thinking about it that way, Hong Seokyoung really did a good job bringing these kids together. Despite childhoods more turbulent than most adults could imagine, they’re trying not to go astray, making an effort to…

254 The Archmage’s Disciple’s Disciple (5) “It seems Seohyun looks up to you quite a bit.” Hong Seokyoung spoke languidly, leaning back in his chair. “It’s good to see the kids trying so hard in a school with fewer than ten students.” “…It’s also quite something to see a principal so quick to wash his hands of things that aren’t his problem.” “How is the students’ passion a sign of me shirking responsibility?” “I meant the part where you say it’s not your…

255 Jirisan Fairy (1) “Have a safe trip!” Kim Chaemin waved her hand energetically, beaming with a wide smile. “Well then, I’ll leave things in your care.” I bowed to Kim Chaemin and climbed into the driver’s seat. Jirisan was a long way off. There had been talk about whether it wouldn’t be better to take public transportation, but that was out of the question with Hong Seokyoung coming along. It was only after the car started moving that Kim Chaemin turned away. I glanced at…

256 Jirisan Fairy (2) The mana meter serves many purposes. Because it records the fluctuations of mana at the gate in real time, it’s capable of much more than most people realize. Of course, its primary function is to measure the danger level of a dungeon and prevent dungeon breaks. But that’s not all there is to it. What we need to consider here is: when else do changes in a dungeon’s mana occur? When the dungeon becomes unstable? Then what, exactly, does “unstable” mean? The…

257 Jirisan Fairy (3) Clang! No matter how many golems there were, each one by itself wasn’t much to worry about. Their massive size might have been threatening on open ground or inside a building, but in this densely wooded forest, they couldn’t perform to their full potential. On top of that, their numbers worked against them; they kept bumping into each other and getting in their own way. The golems’ hard, unyielding material also played a part in this situation. Other hunters might…

258 Jirisan Fairy (4) "……!!" My breath caught in my throat. I leapt upward to avoid the collapsing ground. I climbed onto a nearby tree, but the branch I landed on bent sharply beneath me. Of course, it wasn’t so thin that it couldn’t support my weight. The other branches were the same. The ground, heaving and trying to swallow us, could hardly be called ground anymore. My ankles sank deep into the thick, sticky mud. This was no longer a floor—it was a swamp. A bottomless mire. A mass…

259 Strategy Meeting (1) At last, Han Tae-kyung had lost his mind. That was the only way I could see it. Where had it gone wrong? Was it calling Han Tae-kyung here to stand guard? Leaving him alone at the gate? But then, Han Tae-kyung had always been strange… Still, I’d believed that, at least when it came to dungeons, he wouldn’t do anything reckless. It seemed it was time to revise that assessment. “No, just listen to what I’m saying.” Han Tae-kyung waved his hands wildly,…

260 Countermeasure Meeting (2) “But! Don’t worry!!! I, Han Taekyung, am always prepared! The man who never dies! No matter what happens, I’ll return with all my limbs intact!!” …Well, what on earth…. Han Taekyung, even going so far as to salute, was spouting utter nonsense, no matter how you looked at it. I glanced at Hong Seokyoung. Hong Seokyoung shook his head vigorously. I had no idea what that was supposed to mean. Was he saying it wasn’t his fault? That he didn’t know Han…

261 Countermeasure Meeting (3) “What?!” Han Taekyung practically leapt to his feet. Was what I said really so shocking? If someone told me I didn’t have to go into the dungeon, I’d be grateful and accept it without hesitation. But Han Taekyung, as if he couldn’t possibly accept it, began to protest, full of indignation. “How could you…!” This is why I say I’m not suited to being a Hunter. That must be the real reaction of a Hunter. “Take me with you, too!!” Han…

262 Tati (1) Petals of an unknown white flower fluttered down onto the mud. The petals, as round as eggs, curled inward. The pristine white flower, untouched by even a speck of mud, resembled a lotus, yet I was certain it was unlike any flower found on Earth. And that made sense, for this was a dungeon. A dungeon. And that flower did not bloom on water like a lotus. It had simply fallen from above. Slowly, I lifted my head. I saw the monster, breathing heavily, clutching a wound on its…

263 Tati (2) <That one, where did you get it.> I hadn’t misheard. The creature pointed at my sword and repeated the question several times. Where did I get it? When I didn’t answer, it began pounding furiously on the shield. <Where!!!> Bang! Bang! Bang bang!! <That one!> Bang!!! The shield shuddered in fine tremors. Hong Seokyoung had mentioned it, too. There had been monsters capable of speaking human language. He said the one he met only muttered his name…

264 Tati (3) ‘Irok.’ A low, gentle voice. ‘Will you be alright without me around?’ ‘…Are you leaving again?’ ‘Probably.’ ‘You’re always going somewhere.’ ‘I suppose I am.’ A small laugh followed. ‘Someday, someone might come looking for you, Irok.’ ‘Me?’ ‘Yeah. A friend of mine.’ ‘You have friends?’ ‘…Don’t ask other people questions like that, okay? Just me.’ It would be a long time before I understood what that…

265 Tati (4) “Does your species have the concept of family?” <Huh?> “How do I even explain this… Do you give birth to offspring? Or are you born from eggs? …I guess I shouldn’t think in human terms. Maybe you just sprout from the ground.” <Heejae?> “No, no. Tati, is there someone who gave birth to you?” <Me… um?> A whole storm passed as I tried to explain the concept of “giving birth.” Fortunately, Tati understood without much…

266 Tati (5) Nothing in this world ever goes exactly as you wish. Of course, there are days in life when everything seems to go right. Days when, for some reason, everything just falls into place. Days when even the water you drink in the morning tastes unusually good. Days when every traffic light on your way to work turns green just as you approach… days like that. But most of life isn’t so lucky. If people could live doing only what they wanted, the world would have met its end much…

267 Meeting (1) It goes without saying, but the existence of the fairy Tati was kept strictly secret. I made sure to impress this upon Han Taekyung as well. “Huh? But if the dungeon is that dangerous, wouldn’t it be better to clear it?” “I said no.” “Why not?” “I said it’s not happening.” So I explained, logically, why it couldn’t be done. “But why exactly can’t we?” “It just can’t be done.” Fortunately, Han Taekyung caught on right…

268 Meeting (2) Unlike the somewhat slapdash way things ran at the Hunter Training High School, Guild Mimi operated with a certain order and deliberate planning. For one thing, Guild Mimi was smaller than Yangseong High. And, in contrast to Yangseong, which was tangled up with Dasun and various other interests, even Lee Miseon couldn’t easily meddle here. She had helped with recruiting Sandra Gamble, but that was as far as it went. The people involved weren’t students who needed to be looked…
