The Skill Maker

Chapter 114



Chapter 114

Excluding Hyun-Soo, everyone was in the same situation, so they promised to keep quiet about this .

“We need make sure Team Xeon keeps their mouths shut too!”

One person urged that they get rid of the evidence .

Blehhhhh!

Team Xeon was busy vomiting, so they didn’t really have to worry .

However, the more important members of the guild looked at Hyun-Soo oddly .

Hyun-Soo felt their stares and put on a big smile while looking back at them .

There was no reason to avoid them .

He actually wanted them to see, judge and think about it .

The floor that shined brightly was actually the first floor .

“Is it because it’s a colorful portal? Nothing is easy . ”

No one had any idea as to what kind of space they were in .

Once they realized that they landed on the first floor without dying, they released a sigh of relief .

If something went wrong, the first floor would’ve be covered in blood .

The hunters that come in after won’t have any idea as to what happened and how they ended up dying this way .

“Tsk, tsk . How much longer are you guys going to keep vomiting?”

“Should we dismember while waiting?”

“Yeah . ”

They were supposed to dismember the monster with Team Xeon .

Kim Yoo-Na’s clan did all the hunting and the only thing Team Xeon did was get in the way .

But, they did participate so that they could guide Team Xeon during the hunt .

That’s why it’s better for both sides to observe and see how the situation works out .

However…… .

Blahhhhhhh!

Brad looked over at Team Xeon and then shook his head .

A few talented members of Xeon noticed and approached the group .

Leon was in that group .

“The outside looks fine, but it looks like the internal organs have been damaged . ”

“It seems like the internal organs were the monster’s weakness . ”

“Despite of that, the monster hasn’t been affected that much . We should try running a simulation . ”

The members were contemplating on whether to dismember the body, but decided not to and took the whole body .

Dismembering the monster would make it easier to move, but it was a waste .

There wasn’t a monster in the first colorful portal, and Karazhan, who was in the second portal, was destroyed . .

That’s why, even though the internal organs have been damaged, the Puppeteer’s body was in pretty good condition .

“Then, I guess we’ll just take it as is . ”

They also decided not to dismember it for research purposes .

The second corpse of a monster they obtained from a colorful portal .

It’ll be a valuable sample .

Team Xeon quietly approached, but didn’t say anything .

They didn’t do anything to earn it .

They finished negotiating in the beginning anyways .

‘They were right when they said that Team Xeon was going to act like that . ’

All the members knew that Team Xeon purposely showed respect towards Kim Yoo-Na .

However, just after two meetings, the way the members and Leon acted made them look suspicious .

‘But this hunt confirmed it . ’

That Team Xeon was now under Kim Yoo-Na’s clan .

They were famous within the hunter world, but now, they were starting to become well-known in society .

And now, they could be considered as specialists .

But, they still needed more time in order for others to acknowledge them as being the best .

Leon, the leader of the clan, stooped down to get here .

‘I can’t tell if he’s smart or if he’s just skilled at getting things he wants . Oh, he could be quick-witted . ’

Kim Yoo-Na’s clan was big .

The clan will only get bigger and that meant that the clan will receive a lot of attention .

Hyun-Soo didn’t have Ariel’s ability, but that’s what his gut told him .

So, he understood why Xeon was acting that way .

They observe the clans to see which one is growing and becoming the best and stick with the clan that has a better chance .

The clan was well-known all over the world and the reason why they begged her to take them in is because…

‘They’re trying to survive by using Kim Yoo-Na . ’

Their plan was obvious .

The powerful clans were wiped out because of the colorful portal .

Will the popular guilds and groups be able to maintain their fame?

Hyun-Soo’s answer was no .

‘It would make sense if it was impossible for everyone, but we already cleared three portals . ’

The more a person succeeds, the more the others are affected by it .

‘Because of that, we have more people keeping us in check . ’

Something big was going to happen soon .

And Xeon teamed up with Kim Yoo-Na’s clan .

It was a change they needed to make in order to survive .

This can be considered as the clan’s first alliance .

Kim Yoo-Na must’ve felt that she needed them, so that’s why she accepted .

She could’ve come to the realization about the necessity and importance of power .

‘Well…okay, fine . Everything is fine, but why do I feel like something is off? I’m getting a feeling that that’s not the only thing they’re after . ’

Ismael and David must’ve also felt the same, because they quietly approached him .

They stood next to Hyun-Soo .

They whispered as if they were discreetly making a drug deal .

“Hey, rookie . We shouldn’t just stand around like this . ”

“You’re right . We shouldn’t just stand still like this . We have to be cautious!”

“……What are you saying?”

“Can’t you tell? It’s time for your second hunt to begin . ”

“Huh? But it’s already been cl…”

“No, no . Why are you so dense? I’m talking about over there . ”

Hyun-Soo looked where Ismael’s finger was pointing at .

It was Kim Yoo-Na and Leon .

“Hey, rookie . Can you see?”

“If you’re talking about Yoo-Na, I can see her . ”

“Do you see the sardine next to her?”

“Sardine?”

“Yeah, he smells fishy . ”

He didn’t even know what a sardine looked like .

They usually say ridiculous things like this, so Hyun-Soo didn’t really say much .

But, it was odd that he couldn’t stop looking at Kim Yoo-Na .

“You see, a long time ago…that guy acted out of place and…”

“Doesn’t he look unpleasant? But that guy…!”

It was obvious as to why they were telling Hyun-Soo this .

They were using metaphors to reveal something to Hyun-Soo .

They were telling him to catch onto what they were talking about .

‘I’m sure they’ll complain if I don’t ask…’

Even the middle-aged housewives wouldn’t be as annoying as them .

Hyun-Soo asked to keep them quiet .

“What happened between them?”

David and Ismael replied right away .

“I heard that when Yoo-Na was an active hunter, that fishy guy asked her out on a date . ”

“Really? I heard that it was just a crush . But he was so obvious about it that everyone knew . ”

And their faces were telling Hyun-Soo to ask them more .

Hyun-Soo felt overwhelmed, so he asked .

“A-and then?”

“Isn’t it obvious? Yoo-Na rejected him . Our Yoo-Na is pretty prideful . She said she didn’t want to and that now wasn’t a good time, so she coldly rejected him . ”

“The people watching were embarrassed for him because she was so cold . ”

“But that’s when the problem started . ”

“……Problem?”

“That sardine had a grudge against her, so he created a guild . ”

“……Excuse me?”

Anyone was able to create a guild, right?

Of course they needed power, wealth and supporting members in order to get approval .

“Wait . Just wait . Don’t you think that’s just an assumption? It could seem that way because of the timing . ”

Creating a guild because he got rejected once by a girl?

That just seems overdramatic .

He asked because it sounded absurd, but their replies were ridiculous .

“No way . He’s so petty, that he put others in the same situation . That was when the clan was established!”

“And do you know what he said after he created the guild before us?”

“N-no”

“To join his guild!”

They both said the last part at the same time .

If what they said was true, then it was understandable as to why they didn’t like him and his clan .

“He joined another large group because Yoo-Na rejected . And they were able to grow because of that . Since Yoo-Na wanted a small group, our level of awareness was…just a little!…behind theirs . But we were more talented than them!”

“Oh, I see…… . ”

“But that same guy came back and is acting like nothing happened between them . ”

David placed his hand on Hyun-Soo’s shoulder .

“What do you think?”

“……About what?”

He did have an assumption .

That they were bitter towards the leader of Team Xeon .

“That…he’s a bad guy?”

According to the members, he was a bad guy .

He was more petty than bad .

He left because he couldn’t be in the same room with the girl that rejected him, but he came back, so that would make him petty .

‘Only if what they said were true . ’

Like any members of a clan, they leaned more towards Kim Yoo-Na .

So he couldn’t exclude the fact that they had biased opinions .

Even though Hyun-Soo felt that something was off with Leon .

“Yeah, he’s a bad guy . That’s why, it’s time for you to go in, rookie . ”

“So go over there and destroy that petty sardine . ”

“……Excuse me?”

“You heard me . Can’t you tell? That guy is using the alliance as an excuse and is trying to make his move on Yoo-Na!”

Hyun-Soo glanced over at Kim Yoo-Na and Leon .

They were talking, but it didn’t seem like they were talking about the things that David and Ismael were worried about .

“I don’t think……?”

“Oh, jeez . You’re so dense . Just go . Bring her here . That’s your mission . ”

Hyun-Soo thought it was absurd how they spoke to him as if they were giving him orders .

“Then why did you tell Kim Yoo-Na not to agree on the alliance?”

It was obvious that they didn’t like Leon .

Despite of that, they accepted the offer, but it seemed like they left their personal thoughts out of it… .

“Heh heh…honestly, we agreed because we want to see him struggle . ”

……Or not .

Anyways, Hyun-Soo approached Kim Yoo-Na because the two pushed him .

“Oh, Hyun-Soo . ”

Kim Yoo-Na greeted when she noticed Hyun-Soo approaching her .
