Chapter 148 – 148. Dungeon Survival
148. Dungeon Survival
I asked Professor Park while filling out the application form for the ‘Dungeon Survival Reforged’ program.
“It seems that we are participating as representatives of the Hunter Department at Kukchon University… Who is the other?”
“Eun Sang-min. Are your ancestors You know that Eun Sang-min is a C-class hunter, right? He has enough experience as a Hunter, so he just needs to listen to him and act.”
I frowned slightly.
Sangmin Eun.
He is a 4th grader, a guy who got to grade C a week ago. I don’t like him very much. It must be Porok that he rose to C rank. I saw him not too long ago, but he didn’t look strong. I felt like I would win if I fought.
More than anything, the thing I didn’t like about him was when I just got promoted to the second year. The entire Hunter department had a dinner, and on the spot they cursed at me for not awakening my abilities.
He said he was drunk, but he was the first guy there to openly ignore me. Others secretly despised me or mocked me behind the scenes.
And Eun Sang-min hasn’t apologized since then.
“That senior didn’t come today….”
“I heard that the Hansuri Guild is raiding an important dungeon. They say it’s over in three days, so I’ll be in touch with you guys then.”
Hansuri Guild.
It is one of the many small and medium-sized guilds.
Eun Sang-min’s brother-in-law is Han Soo-ri, an A-rank hunter and master of the Han Soo-ri guild.
‘If you listen this far, you will get an answer. With the help of the guild, Eun Sang-min quickly became a C-class.’
However, it cannot be completely ignored. Being a C grade means you can handle mana.
“The documents here are about the rules of Dungeon Survival. Read carefully.”
As I was reading the paperwork, I opened my eyes wide.
‘Baek Ji-eun? Baek Ji-eun is giving a commentary?’
Baek Ji-eun.
An A-class hunter belonging to the Association. He is not only talented, but also looks good enough to work as a model. These days, he often appears in variety shows. He is rumored to be preparing for his acting job.
‘Wow. You mean you can actually meet Baek Ji-eun, right? It was good to participate.’
29 years old.
The fact that she became A-class in her 20s is enough to call her a genius. She is and she is a woman with the potential to become S-class.
‘I remember her clearly because her breasts are F-cup.’
I am very much looking forward to the first convocation of the program participants in a week.
‘Isn’t Baek Ji-eun not appearing on the convocation day? Oh no way.’
•••
I took a small breath, relaxed, and rang the doorbell.
I couldn’t hear anything, but the inside must have reacted properly.
As evidence of that, a voice came from the speaker attached to the doorbell.
“What’s up?”
It is Han Harin’s voice. I’m currently ringing the doorbell of Han Harin’s house.
We live in the same officetel. She is on the 4th floor and I am on the 6th floor. But even when she and I actually run into each other, we don’t talk much.
“Senior Han Harin. It’s a team like us. I came because I had something to say about dungeon survival.”
It was a good excuse, I think. Of course, the inside was full of darkness.
“… You agreed to meet and talk with Eun Sang-min later. There is no need to talk today.”
“Then I can’t help it. As a hunter, I wanted to share some know-how…. See you later. Senior.”
I said that and pretended to step back. Inside, a shit line was burned.
‘Ask. Ask Ask!’
Did my earnest thoughts reach you? Han Harin’s voice came from the speaker.
“For a moment. Shall we share our know-how?”
The other day, I found out while hacking Han Harin’s smartphone. She has a big problem with mana awakening.
And I recently awakened my mana. Her hunter level is higher than hers, but her actual skills are higher than me who has awakened mana. Han Harin is probably feeling that too.
“Yes. Since I am also lacking as a Hunter…. And it’s the same team. Wouldn’t it be nice to share some good information?”
“…… I think so too. Come in.”
The door is open. Han Harin was there. She came home and was wearing the same clothes she had seen in college. She wears white pants and a blue shirt. Being inside the house, her black jacket is naked.
‘Since I have a good body, I look good in any clothes.’
I greeted her and went into her house.
I was expecting what Han Harin’s house would be like, but it was neatly organized and nothing in particular stood out.
Surprisingly, she treated me well.
A cup of orange juice is all I need, but I’m satisfied with what they gave me.
“You said you wanted to share your know-how, right? What know-how would you like to share?”
“I recently had a second awakening. It’s the ability to handle lightning, a natural ability…. Senior Han Harin deals with gravity, right? Do you have any good know-how?”
“…… Lightning?”
“Yes. Although I call it thunderbolt.”
Paper weave.
Lightning flashed on my palm.
“Don’t use your abilities at home.”
“Ah. Yes. Sorry.”
The cold words immediately got rid of the thunderbolt. Han Ha-rin crossed her arms and thought about something before speaking to me.
“Find a book specializing in lightning. You might find an unexpected use for it.”
“Okay. I’ll remember. Senior, don’t you have any questions about me?”
At my words, Han Harin stared at me. She seemed to hesitate about something, but then she parted her lips and asked me.
“…… How did Mana awaken?”
“Ah. Don’t you Actually, this is a secret I haven’t told anyone…. I will only tell you.”
“…….”
Han Harin’s eyes get stronger. She was so focused that I could see her determination not to spill a word of my words.
“I received a special mana massage. You know mana massage, right?”
“Know. It’s a massage using mana.”
Mana Massage. It was otherwise called qigong massage. The principle was not difficult. It’s all about using mana to massage. However, it was quite effective, and it had a sensational popularity a few years ago.
And mana massage is still a massage that finds people who are looking for it.
“Wasn’t mana massage only effective for relieving fatigue?”
Most people know like Han Harin. However, in fact, it has a great effect on physical health, including recovery from fatigue. Because mana itself is beneficial energy. However, it doesn’t work very well for hunters.
“What I received was a special mana massage. Roughly a month? … I got that consistently. Then one day, with the second awakening, mana was suddenly awakened.”
“…… You want me to believe that?”
Of course you won’t believe it. She would have researched deeply about her mana and her awakening, so the special mana massage would have been unheard of.
“If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing you can do. But that is 100% true.”
“…….”
Han Ha-rin bit her lower lip.
I was unconcerned It’s because I know it’s not me that’s urgent.
Han Ha-rin is suffering because of her mana awakening, so she will want to believe even if it is a nonsense story.
“…… Where can I get that special mana massage?”
“I can’t take it. The masseuse was a B-class hunter, but she passed away some time ago.”
“…….”
Han Harin looked slightly disappointed.
“Ah. But I know how to do a massage because I’ve worked for him for a while. He also told me the secret to being talented. He was a good person….”
I acted as gloomy as possible. To be honest, I’m not confident in acting, but I can’t speak lively when an acquaintance I know has died. Although it’s all lies.
“You say you can?”
“Ah. You can’t believe it. Senior. Can I go to the bathroom for a minute? I’ll show you something interesting.”
Han Ha-rin pondered and nodded his head. Her bathroom was the same as ours.
‘Isn’t it natural that it’s the same building?’
The only difference is the type of shampoo.
I got a little water in the bathroom and stood on top of it. It triggered the award.
“That… Water walk? You can do that?”
Han Harin’s eyes turned round.
“I have some talent for controlling mana. The masseuse said I had a talent for this. And I have the secret mana oil at home that I use for a special massage… I’ll bring it. Please wait for a moment.”
Before I could say anything to Han Ha-rin, she hurried home. Then, after entering the world of play, he earned some points and came out.
[Sacred Water
Maybe good things will happen if you drink or apply the holy water?
Price: 2 points
※Caution
Depending on the amount, the effect and duration vary.]
Bought with 2 points.
I took this and went back to Han Harin’s room.
“Senior. Give me a hand. This is a secret drug… When applied, it gives off such a soft glow. It means the effect is working properly.”
I personally poured holy water on her hands.
Han Ha-rin looked at her own hand, which was shining softly, and exclaimed her small exclamation.
“There was something like this….”
If you show these amazing things, you can’t help but trust them.
“But this has to be massaged in a certain way using mana. They say it won’t work if you don’t have extremely good mana control like me. If you want, I will give you a special mana massage.”
And I added
“Ah. It’s not free. This is a bit expensive I also paid 15 million won for a special massage.”
If it’s free, you’ll be suspicious. She had a lot of money, so she charged a reasonable price.
‘Because Han Harin originally had a lot of money. It’s about 15 million won for one massage. It’s nothing.’
If it’s too cheap, Han Harin will be rather suspicious.
“…… That special massage. Which part are you massaging?”
“Each part has a different effect… The whole body works best. Mana has to be felt with the whole body. Special massage. Would you like to take it?”
“…….”
Harin Han is deeply troubled. My heart trembled.
But Han Ha-rin shook her head.
“Done.”
Still don’t believe me Or maybe it was burdensome to entrust yourself to me. I hid her regret and told her.
“You can tell me whenever you want. I’ll do it. Oh, it’s a secret. I thought it would be a bit annoying if I found out.”
“Okay. I won’t tell anyone.”
“…… I’ll just go back today. It is also evening time.”
“Okay.”
Han Harin was still cold. She doesn’t even ask to have dinner together.
•••
3 days later.
Han Harin and I met Sangmin Eun at a cafe.
Eun Sang-min is a man with small eyes and sharp eyes. He is smiling and looking at us. His self-confidence was unlucky.
‘Why is this not-so-good-looking guy splitting the room?’
Eun Sang-min glanced at me, then turned his gaze to Han Harin.
“Harin. Nice to see you here. Is this your first time meeting in person?”
“It’s not like we’re meeting in person.”
Harin Han replied coldly. She is an equally cold woman to everyone else except her own friends.
She was 100% sure. That guy has a dark heart for Han Harin.
‘Ignoring me is second to none…. How dare you go after the girl I took?’
Can’t forgive I’m going to kill myself.
“Well. It is true that we gathered for a meeting. How about having dinner together after the meeting? I’ll shoot I know a good hotel restaurant.”
“I have an appointment in the evening, so I will skip it. How will you move in Dungeon Survival?”
“I don’t even know what kind of dungeon it is yet. I’ll give you an order at that time, so all you have to do is follow along. I’m a C-class hunter, so you guys don’t have to worry about anything.”
Han Ha-rin frowned at her. This wasn’t the meeting she wanted.
“…… Okay. I see. Then we’ll break up here.”
When she tries to get up from her seat. I said to Sangmin Eun.
“Senior Eun Sang-min. I cannot accept my senior as a leader.”
“What? What does that mean?”
Eun Sang-min asked again as he wrinkled his face. It’s not that I’m asking the wrong question, it’s that I’m asking because I’m dumbfounded.
I decided to make it easier for him to understand.
“I don’t listen to orders from hunters who are weaker than me. I think the senior is weaker than me. So in Dungeon Survival, I will act as the team leader. Any problem?”
“Is this crazy? Hey, what grade are you in?”
“Eighteen! It’s your class number.”
“Her…. It’s ridiculous. No matter how free the Hunter Department is, don’t you know how to respect your seniors?”
The guy who doesn’t even go to school properly is talking like a senior and he’s falling for himself. After having a proper conversation at least once, act like a senior.
“I am not wrong. Isn’t it basic that the strongest hunter in the party is the leader? I know so Ah, seniors only work in groups in guilds, so you don’t know these basic things well, right? Ah! Envy! I also want to join a guild and hunt comfortably!”
Eun Sang-min’s face hardened.
“I am not crazy. Wake up baby You let me teach you some manners today.”
“You want to fight? It’s good. After losing, don’t linger.”
“I saw that Harin was calling Gao ahead of me…. You made a big mistake.”
“It was like this even without Harin. I’m careful not to listen to orders from those weaker than me…. But why did Harin suddenly appear? Do you like Harin?”
I glanced at Han Harin. She is watching us with her cold expression. It doesn’t look like it’s going to dry up at all. Perhaps, from her point of view, we are just strangers who have nothing to do with it.
Judging by Han Harin’s attitude, it seems that she is ignoring us and just going home.
“Follow me, man!”
“I will go without screaming. Go. A frightened dog barks. Were you scared?”
In front of a woman, he is a senior and nabal.
“Aren’t you taught not to say things you can’t handle?”
“I did it because I could afford it. It’s a cub. “
I suddenly came to my senses.
“Ah. Sorry. Senior. I was a little excited, so I didn’t say it well.”
“This bastard is here…. Why are you starting to get scared?”
“No. That’s not it. It’s a dog. “
A fist comes flying in my face.
