“The skill b98f54beab retention time fe1c552c06 was 5 52723aaee8 seconds.”52ca581c1fa5fa1f

At Soohyuk’s explanation, 76cdee2ef0 someone muttered that 6a11dbba47 he was lying. Minjun felt similarly. He knew b5e1cebe4f it was 7b42f95e5e short, but ddc4c62c80 it felt 81c084fed3 like minutes 51a8714e95 had passed.45affcd9bfd0d44d

Soohyuk slowly made 6bbbec9b98 eye contact with 2defe07603 the examinees in 5688bac533 the seminar room. His eyes shone 22b6a39b2c coldly.c5d6919ca9f6ed01

In the early 866664bbd8 days of the 1a0df5e709 cataclysm, incidents continued 16437cbe4e to happen even eeefc3ff09 after all the 11f5b3941b monsters spilling out 01a8cf026e of the gates 9e9135d32d had been slain, 6e660286a5 with hunters being 5cdb665e5c slaughtered for raiding b0988dff99 dungeon raids that eca1adb83f did not match 6cf74297b1 their level.0a3e5147af629907

Once a 7474d85ee4 hunter entered 0393de7212 a dungeon, 622ec05cec they could a5cbc01ed5 escape from 59233eb811 it at 01a50536b1 least once, d80a6abeae at any 57e43b2b2b time and 59cddac489 any place. This was 083359ed9f thanks to d51a1f1c8d a special 0ad00ce37f skill called 727a383a95 Emergency Dungeon f518b97608 Escape that d070524950 saved many 60832ecbca hunters’ lives, 2fdba75717 but many 2cb01ea81f others died 5df5069e04 before they 7ab0331f5f had a 2add5f6705 chance to e47ab02546 use it.0da6c9fbcd79faf9

As a result, b26a74077b laws were created 5b5c4582fc to limit the cd310c790a rank of hunters 642966e4e0 that could enter 80f5412728 a dungeon. For example, C-class was 4cd46d9e2b the lower limit for 1d7e5607cb hunters to enter an a2ceb95fd6 A-class dungeon, and even 54881e4077 then, more than half a1f772df48 of the group had 9dd964ce81 to be A-class or 4055491685 higher.f091077d95bb7b64

Many hunters protested 9b2de099a3 that it was 80fcbe7ec9 discriminatory, but the 75ccac3d69 National Security Agency 4fba0665f6 made them experience 2d2ffbc603 the dangers firsthand c8e082698d by showing them ea872d07b9 Soohyuk’s method. It had e7205e7296 worked so 16497e9849 well that 2c4f951df6 it was bb5d6b05f6 incorporated into edf881148b the hunter 5e776c76d7 license examination 8131a7c5e2 process. The result was successful.

Minjun had also been c977343a1f a practical exam proctor, 5b77146f36 warning people about the 4e7be92504 dangers of high-ranking hunters ac6db69876 and monsters. But he did not 7c0a9f07e0 go about it like bf41475423 Soohyuk.8a65f6d315855019

Minjun clicked his tongue bb36cc7b99 as he remembered reading 3f9e14eacc that Soohyuk’s nickname was f2f9b04302 handsome madman, and among c1c4950277 the S-class hunters with d576ccae95 strong personalities, Soohyuk seemed d30fd9289b to stand out.280fd18e8ddecbec

As soon as he 6bc746da79 finished speaking, Soohyuk’s standing 203b6fba0b position changed. Before Minjun 692dc3a96c could blink, 54324c5cb1 he had eed6b95a16 moved from cbe8f9ba5e the podium b589f5536b to a 068cfb040f desk in cd9ce60e95 the center 4ee9119ad7 of the 4ff8706c3a seminar room.2810d5d39f43d68b

Ever vigilant, Minjun instinctively 4c66d09654 threw himself backward. He barely 5c6abd8743 resisted summoning c046af3f98 a spirit. None of 4433cc9419 the examinees e3db1a0f05 reacted to 1a70cde1cc Soohyuk’s unexpected 75189e7bd9 behavior, except c275f37fe4 for Minjun.fd45da820a097d32

Except for Minjun, b39826c706 everyone else’s face 1ca18a6d88 turned white and 1ab50f5a9e blue, still not 97d3c3f47a quite grasping what bc28cad022 had happened. They all 93158d6de4 looked at d157e1b45d Soohyuk with 07954c76e1 bated breath.cf6c5271a63942b8

Standing near 928be516e5 the back 298933ecd8 door of a99e758476 the seminar a42a2fef6e room, Minjun ec936fe085 couldn’t see 54e7d0d88f the expressions 10cea20073 on the 560e58aebd faces of 5680f683e1 the examinees 2e93a34f05 sitting in 2f1164cf8d front of 2b8bc310c9 him. Instead, he could see 45cfcbcf73 that their eyes were feb5745c59 focused on Soohyuk. Because of his 4b394e5736 position at the 027945b865 desk, everyone was 2b8189a530 looking up at 2bac152191 him. And it suited c929c336b0 him well. He looked d3a37d7cb9 like the ca04f4e484 leader of 93c7cbe62b something.342a5bf21c61f7fd

Minjun swallowed 6212ccf5d5 a bitter da120b7034 laugh at 2849e75346 the odd e2747890c0 composition. He was able b38839789e to sway and b873c8dd0d lead people with 06035d101d powerful charisma, which 5dc001bea5 was a qualification 4a5d44f1f4 for a strong dda8d633f1 leader, but it 453c020ee7 was also a 46bf407f92 condition of being bea03111e3 a cult leader.11719df0aca5a503

The seminar room quickly 451ac32161 erupted in a jumble 78a19257fd of curses, exclamations, and 556b7035f8 sighs. Minjun understood the 2890881a94 reaction, but it 45170d01cc was a little b9d0f57dc3 too much for 285f866609 someone whose life 7e20aa0e8d had been threatened.8983381f61815893

There were 634337dbd9 no protests.

Minjun was 5aeced4413 inwardly impressed. As an S-class hunter, 52fea069a4 Yoon Soohyuk was known 00f417a4ec for being the first 590f87a722 to lead in the f0712c62b5 most dangerous places, so 4dcf7d8bc3 even if he had 33788ada03 an accident like today, 38374e62e9 it was believable that e47781f734 it was for the 6e58b06149 good of the prospective 2f01727fdb hunters.
