    The hunter’s license practical exam was held in a seminar room on the first floor of the association’s east building.

    It was the first Saturday in February, and Minjun arrived on time to register and turn in his cell phone. He found a chair in the seminar room with his name on it and sat down.

    There were quite a few people in the large, tiered seminar room. There were 79 people taking the practical exam this quarter.

    As Minjun slowly looked around, he was struck by a strange feeling. Before being swept into the other world, Minjun was a first-generation hunter, put to combat without any testing. Later, when laws were put in place, he was given a license, but was exempt from the test.

    On several occasions, he participated in practical exams as a special proctor a few times. It seems like just yesterday that he stood on the podium and looked out at the would-be hunters. But today, sitting on the other side of the podium, he realized that he was definitely living with a new identity.

    Minjun skimmed the pamphlet he was given at the entrance. The practical test started at 10. From 10 to 11, there was a brief briefing and safety lecture before the actual dungeon raid. At 11, the actual test would begin.

    The practical test was simple. It was to clear a D-class dungeon managed by the association. It had been held in the same dungeon for several years, it was already known what was happening inside. All they had to do was pass through the swamp where poisonous plants grew and kill the boss in the meadow.

    Everyone commented that the practical exam was too easy. However, the point of the test was just to give prospective hunters an experience of the dungeon, so they couldn’t greatly increase the difficulty.

    Everyone fought a lot…

    Minjun laughed out loud as he recalled how in the past, the S-classes had argued over the difficulty of the hunter test and ended up fighting over it. The most belligerent S-class hunters had even lobbied the association and the government that it wasn’t enough, but to no avail.

    Before he knew it, it was 10. Just in time, several test proctors showed up, dressed in black suits. They were hunters and officials from the Hunter Association and the National Security Agency.

    One of them, a burly middle-aged supervisor, took a few steps forward and explained the practical exam.

    Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

    “Hello, my name is Park Jungwoon from the National Security Agency. As you may have noticed, the hunter license practical test only requires you to clear the dungeon without any major incidents. The monsters may be weak compared to the strength of some of you. This is a D-class dungeon, but if you rely on your own strength and disobey orders, you’ll fail no matter how high your rank. For your own safety, you must follow the orders of the proctors, please remember that.”

    The test proctor from the National Security Agency explained in a rather bureaucratic tone. But the test takers, including Minjun, did not pay attention to what he said.

    There had been quite a few instances of high-ranking hunters failing their practical exams because they went wild. It was a well-known anecdote that a very successful A-class hunter once failed a practical exam for acting like a fool.

    The proctor gave them a few things to watch out for in the dungeon. After that, a short briefing on the dungeon, the location of the hunter’s license practical test, began. It wasn’t much different from a typical guild briefing – covering the dungeon’s terrain, monsters that might be encountered, and byproducts that could be obtained from the dungeon.

    At the end of the briefing, Park Jungwoon introduced the special supervisor.

    “Hunter Yoon Soohyuk, Guild Leader of the June Guild, will be accompanying you.”

    Park Jungwoon descended the podium and opened the front door of the seminar room. As Soohyuk slowly emerged, the room erupted.

    Minjun stared at Soohyuk as he walked up to the podium in his pure white guild robes. The fame of an S-class hunter was as high as that of a top celebrity. Apart from the familiarity through TV or the Internet, it was difficult to meet him in person, so it was like meeting a famous celebrity.

    Minjun swallowed a bitter laugh when he realized that an S-class hunter was actually participating as a proctor for the practical exam.

    The government wanted to keep control of the hunters once they were no longer special civil servants. Their position was that everything should be government-led, from reporting powers to licensing to hunting, and they wanted to see the S-class hunters, who could take down a building if they wanted to, cooperate with the government.

    The government had created a pretty plausible picture with the bait of subsidies for the hunter industry and the whip of the law.

    As a result of a mix of money and political logic, it has been a tradition for over a decade now that S-class hunters became proctors for the practical exam. This, too, was a rare sight outside of Korea.

    “Nice to meet you, I’m Yoon Soohyuk.”

    Standing on the podium, Soohyuk smiled and introduced himself. For security reasons, it had been revealed only a day earlier which of the six S-class hunters would be participating in the test.

    For the best reading experience, visit lilyonthevalley.com

    When Minjun saw the announcement last night that Soohyuk would be appearing for the practical test, he remembered his notoriety. The six S-class hunters were all belligerent, and Soohyuk was known to be relentless, even in practical tests.

    “You all know my notoriety.”

    Soohyuk’s not-so-subtle joke caused a few chuckles.

    “The President of the Association has been nagging me until my ears are bleeding, but I will do it properly considering the purpose of the test. If you feel threatened and attack me, feel free to do so. The last hunter who attacked me broke his arm, but I could heal him. Don’t worry, I have plenty of potions that will do the trick. It’s just a broken arm, it’ll heal in no time.”

    As Soohyuk explained, still smiling, the atmosphere softened. That was when it happened. The air density in the seminar room instantly increased.

    The aura exuded by the S-class hunter made everyone swallow their breath. Minjun wanted to run away right away, but his intuition told him not to make any rash moves, so he kept his guard up and kept an eye on Soohyuk.

    Then their eyes met. The man’s eyes twinkled with amusement, and he smiled.

    Just as he was about to say something, the atmosphere changed. The air, which had been oppressively heavy, now felt like a sharp blade pressed against his throat.

    ‘Woah… fuck.’

    Minjun cursed under his breath. The smirking man on the dais must have used some kind of skill, either fear or restraint.

    He choked on his breath and froze, unable to move a single finger. He felt like a frog in front of a snake.

    He hadn’t experienced anything like this since he awakened as a hunter. Back in the other world, when he had been downgraded to C-class due to the side effects of dimensional travel, he had avoided dangerous places. Even in the face of a high-level demon that was charging at him with murderous intent, he was still unable to do anything.

    It was a moment that reminded Minjun that hunter ranks were ruthlessly hierarchical, and that Soohyuk’s notoriety for using the skill despite being in the presence of F-ranked hunters was not for nothing.

    Stiffening, Minjun thought quickly. Calling in the spirits to attack Soohyuk would create a gap, but he didn’t act on it. It was better to hold out than to have his arm broken. Instead, he glared at the smiling man and cursed him silently with his eyes.

    After what seemed like an eternity, the terrible pressure was gone. Suppressed sighs and rushed breaths echoed throughout the seminar room.
