Chapter 38: (2): Season 1: Preparation


    Ha Jong-won and Hong Se-young were a strangebination, seeming to fit well together, not fit well together, and yet still somehowplement each other. The current location of Inha Guild was Bukhansan, where the Twin-headed Trolls used to appear. Back then, the Twin-headed Trolls appeared as boss monsters, granting achievement points. However, that was no longer the case. Although they were still difficult to defeat and ssified as top-tier monsters, they had be much weakerpared to when they were considered boss monsters.


    Ha Jong-won slumped down and grumbled.


    You exhaust yourself so much by moving around like that!


    .


    Hong Se-young nced at Ha Jong-won and smirked. She didnt respond. Jong-won stood up bravely.


    Are you trying to provoke me?


    Hong Se-young nced at Jong-won again and smirked once more.


    Ah You cant even y Twin-headed Trolls without me.


    .


    Hong Se-young nced at Ha Jong-won and smirked again. Herughter contained a clear provocation and mockery, saying, No matter how hard you try, you havent even touched the tip of my hair. Youre a perfect, shattered loser. Jong-won immediately suggested engaging in PvP, but it only made him angry alone. And even if they were to engage in PvP, there was a high chance of him beingpletely defeated once again.


    Recently, Inha Guild had been practicing ying in Bukhansan.


    Hyun-seok, with his extraordinary stats, was practicing power control, with a particr focus on thebination of Se-young and Jong-won. Se-young was undoubtedly fast and precise, possessing sufficient ability to disturb and confuse the monsters line of sight. Even though her regr attacks were weak, she had the ability to deliver critical shots.


    On the other hand, Jong-won was a yer known for his powerful single strikes. When they formed abination, their synergy was remarkable. And whenever a monster was stunned due to Jong-wons skill, Se-young never failed to follow up with her unique precision,nding a critical shot.


    While it was a -0 damage critical shot for Hyun-seok, it was effective against the monsters. They had been steadily building their skills while supporting Pyeong-hwa and Min-seo from behind. Especially in the case of Peace, thanks to Hyun-seok obtaining a rare high-level healing skillbook, they were able to learn not only Ratio Heal but also Advanced Heal. It was a great stroke of luck for Pyeong-hwa and a wise investment for Inha Guild. (Hyun-seok, on the other hand, had discovered something after attempting to learn Advanced Heal, but the details would be coveredter.)


    As the levels of Ratio Heal and Advanced Heal increased, a new skill emerged called Advanced Ratio Heal. It could be considered a customized skill for Hyun-seok since the H/P recovery range increased to 40%.


    The difference between raising it from 0% to 30% and raising it to 40% was significant. Although it didnt fill the H/P from 50% to 90%, the fact that it could raise Hyun-seoks massive H/P from 0% to 40% was impressive. In the first ce, situations where Hyun-seoks H/P could drop that low were exceptional, simr to Cyclops. In such situations, Ratio Heal showed its tremendous power. Of course, using Pyeong-hwas current abilities, she could only use the skill once a day due to the high stamina consumption.


    Hey, Hyun-seok. Havent you heard from Myeong-hoon?


    Well, not yet.


    Its not like dungeons can be found that easily. Its not like you have a cheating-ss character like you. But still, nothing? If you learn the Exploration skill, you might discover hidden dungeons.


    Jong-won, exhausted from ying Twin-headed Trolls, copsed on the ground.


    Seriously. Two Combat yers ying Twin-headed Trolls together.


    Upon hearing that, Se-young nced at Hyun-seok. It was a fleeting nce, but it was different from when she looked at Jong-won. Two Combat yers ying trolls together was quite an impressive feat. Although Hyun-seok was there as a reliable support, a kind of safety, the fact remained that they had sessfully in together. Having a safety or not made a big difference in confidence. Just having Hyun-seoks support provided them with great strength.


    However, if they continued to familiarize themselves with theirbination, it seemed possible for them to y Twin-headed Trolls even without Hyun-seok. Hyun-seok felt Se-youngs gaze and looked back at her. Se-young turned her gaze sideways, staring straight at him. No, she red.


    That sight made Pyeong-hwa feel a bit uneasy.


    Something doesnt feel right


    Pyeong-hwa also nced at Hyun-seok. She caught a glimpse of him smirking. It seemed like he smiled in response to their eye contact.


    Well something needs to be done!


    She couldnt express it outwardly, but she anxiously worried inside. This doesnt feel right. She had always relied on others for protection and had never taken the initiative herself. Until now, she had been doing well, but somehow, she felt a sense of urgency. Thats why she was nning to suggest a date on Sunday, even if it was just for a meal.


    Then, a call came in from Hyun-seok.


    Giljang, I found it.


    It was Myeong-hoon. Myeong-hoon was the same age as Hyun-seok and Jong-won, and they had decided to speakfortably with each other. Myeong-hoon was the one who made the suggestion, and although Hyun-seok was slightly surprised when he abruptly suggested it, by now, after a few days had passed, he had bepletely ustomed to it. Nevertheless, he refrained from using casualnguage and still respectfully referred to him as Giljang.


    Hyun-seok unintentionally raised his voice.


    What did you find?


    Ill send you the location. Come quickly. Its Bukhansan, okay? Close by.


    So, what did you discover?


    A dungeon! A hidden one! A hidden dungeon!


    Using the Trappers skill, he found a dungeon. The problem arose from there. Unlike in easy mode, the dungeon didnt reveal itself on its own. But this time, it was discovered by the Trapper, just like in easy mode.


    There was a sensitive issue when they arrived at the entrance of the dungeon.
