“What? What are you filming here?”
A man approached the gate where filming equipment was being set up. His voice sounded somewhat familiar to me, so I turned around and saw that it was Kwon Seong-gil.
“Hyung!”
“Hey, In Yoo-shin. How are you? Gyu-ha isn’t bothering you, right?”
“Umm, yes. What are you doing here, Hyung?”
“My honey, I came to meet you... Uh, I made eye contact with you, but isn’t that rude face that doesn’t even say hello to Hyeon Gyu-ha? So is this it? Filming a promotional video for the public safety department, that?”
Team Leader Noh came rushing over with a surprised look on his face.
“Master Kwon! Hunter Lee Hye-yeon is in the dungeon?”
“I went in with a friend of mine to provide support because there were not enough people in the attack team, but we decided to come out later in the evening...”
“This is a big problem.”
Perplexed, Team Leader Noh called the Hunter Support Bureau and began to assess the situation.
This is a short shot that captures the time when the sun is setting.
All of the hunters who were hunting in the dungeon to film the gate scene were to withdraw from noon, and administrative procedures were in place, which were announced a few days in advance. It doesn’t matter as long as the hunters currently inside continue to hunt. However, if they had come rushing out of the gate while the camera was rolling, today’s filming would have been ruined.
It might take a few more days to get permission to film again, to evict the street vendors in front of the gate, and to issue a notice to the talkative hunters to vacate the dungeon.
“Team leader, the engineering school that Lee Hye-yeon Hunter applied to is the engineering school of Hunter Kang Eun-ij’s, right? They say they delivered it properly, but it seems like the engineering school confused the date. You can’t even make phone calls through the gate...”
Team leader Noh scratched his head and then looked back at the director.
“Let’s proceed with filming first. I can only hope that the engineering school inside will come out a little later.”
“If it doesn’t work out, there is a way to do it with CG.”
“Our production costs...”
It was the sorrow of a working-level worker trying to save every penny from a tight budget.
Anyway, filming resumed.
With the gate in the background, Hyeon Gyu-ha meticulously organizes the beast and turns around, the hem of his long coat fluttering, and the light of the setting sun bends beautifully... This was roughly the storyboard full of the production team’s selflessness.
“Um.”
Hyeon Gyu-ha, who was standing in front of the gate and creating a scene from a pictorial of a handsome man in the sunset, tilted his head without cutting.
“It looks like a monster is going to come out.”
The words came out so casually that it took several seconds for the audience to understand what they meant.
“I beg your pardon!”
Hyeon Gyu-ha still responded indifferently to the people who were screaming in embarrassment.
“The mana at the gate entrance is a little unusual.”
“D-dungeon break?!”
“It’s not that bad, I think a bigger one will come out. It will be sorted out soon, so stay back.”
People swallowed their saliva as they remembered the fact that the main character with the calm voice was an S-class hunter.
[Current status: Murderous. Interesting, free.]
In Yoo-shin was probably the only person who looked at him with concern. Hyeon Gyu-ha made a slight gesture.
“Master, come here. You are safest next to me.”
“Hey! Hyeon Gyu-ha! Me?!”
“You have a lot of shield cores.”
[Current status: Murderous intent. interest.]
In Yoo-shin asked, recognizing his sense of boredom that disappeared the moment he caught his eye.
“Will it be okay?”
“It’s probably weaker than Ataveira.”
He didn’t mean to ask whether he could defeat the monster, but... In Yoo-shin sighed slightly.
What color are the emotions of a man dominated by boredom when faced with a monster that controls the life and death of an ordinary person?
“At this level, the magical beast’s bodily fluids won’t splash out.”
Hyeon Gyu-ha placed a light force field around In Yu-shin.
He’s not worried about getting injured, but rather about splashing bodily fluids.
Seeing as how he was not worried about getting injured but rather about getting dirty from splashing bodily fluids, he must have been an easy opponent. In Yoo-shin decided to bury his secret concerns in his heart for now.
The distorted entrance of the gate vibrated like an image formed on opaque glass. The moment when someone with a weak heart let out a small scream.
“Shyaaaaaaaa!”
The monster jumped out of the gate with its huge ring-shaped mouth wide open, as if it could swallow a person whole. The monster, whose face without pupils was fluttering, immediately rushed towards Hyeon Gyu-ha, who was in front of them.
The forehead tree, which resembles an earthworm with a centipede’s feet, had the property of moving under the ground, as befits its appearance. Perhaps that’s why the hunters inside missed it.
“Uwaaak!”
The shadow of the demonic beast was cast heavily. People screamed because it seemed as if Hyeon Gyu-ha and In Yoo-shin had been eaten all at once, but that was all.
“Shyaah!”
The monster opened its mouth wide, dripping saliva that corrodes matter, and did not move from its spot. No, you can’t move. Captured by Hyeon Gyu-ha’s psychokinesis.
“If I hadn’t hit the force field, it would have been a big problem, right?”
“It’s a bit weird to take a shower in an earthworm spit.”
The monster’s saliva could not penetrate the force field and flowed down.
In Yoo-shin’s complexion turned pale. Since Hyeon Gyu-ha was next to him, he didn’t feel any danger of being attacked by the beast, but seeing the beast’s wide-open snout right in front of him gave him goosebumps.
‘Wow.... It’s really gross.’
A reddish, finely wrinkled esophagus and numerous teeth sticking out of the snout. As In Yoo-shin closed his eyes in disgust, Hyeon Gyu-ha laughed softly.
“I’ll take care of it right away.”
And he did.
Unlike during filming, where flashy action scenes were shown to suit the director’s excitement, Hyeon Gyu-ha used a mana-infused sword in a light, straight line. The mana contained in his sword struck the air and cut the demon beast’s body in half. That was the end.
“I previously developed a new skill that uses psychokinesis, and it’s called ‘firing sword energy’.”
“It sounds so good.”
Gap-sik and Henri Raymond-Charles Françoise have a cool naming sense, so if they’re firing off sword energy, wouldn’t they have thought really hard about it?
“No, I... that, uh...”
Unlike In Yoo-shin, who went to the dungeon with him once and became numb to Hyeon Gyu-ha’s strength, the outside were people who lived an ordinary day.
A demonic beast was slaughtered in the blink of an eye before their eyes. The demon beast, split in half, was rolling around right in front of them, raising dust. However, while they listen to the two people’s seemingly calm conversation, another identical beast appears.
“If this is enough, get some rest! You disgusting earthworm!”
“Burn it quickly!”
“Fireball!”
“Goblin playing with fire!”
“Stop calling that damn skill name because it’s cheesy!”
With the hunter-raiding party that hunts.
“Oh my, I’m so sorry! While we were hunting, we lost it right in front of our previous base. Is anyone hurt?”
It seemed like the couple’s calmness could also be tied to the promotional video’s theme of public safety. Of course, if that were to happen, Hyeon Gyu-ha, who is reluctant to have her boyfriend exposed publicly, would be cut off.
“Oh, you’re saying we’re going to edit the video of us burning a demonic beast outside the gate and include it in the promotional video?”
“I’ll have to edit the details to find out, but I think there will also be a hugging scene between Master Kwon and Team Leader Lee. The hunter who returns from hunting and the family who waits safely to greet them! Isn’t this a great scene?”
“Oh, indeed. It’s a bit embarrassing to say it so openly.”
Lee Hye-yeon laughed and tapped Kwon Seong-gil, who was hanging on her neck, on the shoulder. In Yoo-shin looked at the two and thought they looked like a bear clinging to a rabbit. They were a couple known in the hunter world as a particularly good couple.
“Of course, I will give you a small appearance fee.”
“Ah, it’s okay. It’s okay. It’s only a brief appearance, but it’s a lot of money to do it. Instead, please finish well. Hey, you don’t need an appearance fee either, right?”
“Yes!”
“I guess it’s like serving the country, right!”
Not only did they almost ruin the filming by misunderstanding the date, but the engineering team members, who were upset because they had lost their magic in front of the civil servants of the Ministry of Public Safety, readily agreed. A big smile appeared on the face of Team Noh, whose production costs were solid.
Lee Hye-yeon waddled over with Kwon Seong-gil hanging behind her. She looked close to him like a lover who had had a dramatic reunion after 10 years, but from what he heard, it was only this morning that Lee Hye-yeon went to work at the dungeon.
“Gyu-ha, you said you dealt with the guy who came in front of you? Man, thank you.”
She laughed heartily and tried to tap him on the shoulder, but Hyeon Gyu-ha resolutely avoided her body.
“Uh-huh. Has this Noona lost her mind? Why would you carelessly touch the body of a man?”
“What? What kind of crazy things are you talking about all of a sudden? Did that earthworm’s spit corrode your brain?”
“Noona, Noona, the boy next to Gyu-ha is Gyu-ha’s boyfriend.”
“Ah! That Master?”
What kind of rumor was spreading among Hyeon Gyu-ha’s acquaintances that made him the ‘Master’?... In Yoo-shin glanced up at Hyeon Gyu-ha without realizing it, but his face was still shameless and handsome.
“...How did the rumor about me get out?”
Then Hyeon Gyu-ha’s eyes narrowed significantly. As if he was waiting for In Yoo-shin to ask that question.
