Chapter 66 – Great problem of Martial arts (Mu) And Chivalry (Hyeob) 1.1

It took exactly three days for Ye Sa-hye to quit from her department of hunting supporters and sign for Yoo Seodam’s Guild. She spent those 3 days sorting through her department and family affairs. She was craving for a job called Hunter much more than she ever thought, and was filled with aspirations.

Some speculation flashed through Yoo Seodam’s mind, but if Ye Sa-hye had originally joined Dharma, based on her talent and passion, she could have acquired Mugong at a rapid pace and become a powerful force for Lee Dong-joon.

Yoo Seodam felt relieved that he could snatched her in advance.

-You already have three guild members?

“Yeah.”

Ryu Jin-soo was also actively helping Yoo Seodam establish his guild. Yoo Seodam still couldn’t grasp his intention. Did he help because he had some business with Yoo seodam or because of their 16 years old friendship?

-How’d it go with Wi-Hoon?

“I’m not sure. I think we’re on good terms, but it seems he didn’t think so.”

-You should get along with your friends.

“Are you talking about Yourself?”

-I’m getting along just fine with all of my friends.

Ryu Jin-soo was polite to everyone. Rumor was that he even spoke formally to the cat he raised at home. But this was unbelievable even for Yoo Seodam who knew him for 16 years. In any case, it was true that Ryu Jin-soo approached everyone in a friendly manner, but he did not get any closer to his colleagues.

Taylor had been reluctant to see his sly smile from the beginning, and the woman who now active under the name ‘Helloni’ seemed to have a story with Ryu jin-soo. And for Wi-hoon, well, he was simply blinded by jealousy.

It could be said that Ryu Jin-soo’s social skills were pretty poor. Ryu Jin-soo still didn’t know that every gentle smile and a compliment didn’t mean that they could have a good relationship. He would have been in big trouble if his guild had gone into business, and not a guild that valued ‘tradition.’

-Anyways, I want to talk to you more about the equipment industry, so do your best.

“Do you have any good tips? Like a way to get some more equipment.”

-I don’t know because our guild hasn’t received any support from the industry.

“······”

Ryu Jin-soo awakened his supernatural powers and made a fortune by taking advantage of it. Even now, he probably had so much money that there was no reason to get sponsored by the equipment industry. Unlike Yoo seodam who waited for sponsorship from somewhere else, he probably had a contract with a private workshop. In many ways, Yoo Seodam’s guild was far from catching up with Leyton One.

-Anyway, good luck. I’ll contact you next time I have time for the union case.

“Okay.”

Ryu Jin-soo, in many ways, was a gritty and burdensome friend. But it was no exaggeration to say that he was the most helpful person for Yoo seodam in the process of establishing his guild. No, actually, It seemed that Wi-hoon was more helpful.

Yoo seodam almost had all the essential elements for establishing a guild. Not long ago, the Hunter’s Association had given him their approval regarding this matter.

However, that was not the most important part.

“Huh? Aren’t you supposed to make the guild right away?”

“No, I planned to hold it back for at least two years.”

“Why?”

“Because I don’t have a building..”

“Ah…”

Ha Sun-young couldn’t help but be stunned after hearing Yoo Seodam’s words. It was understandable since the person who was recruiting people for the guild didn’t even have anything to do with it.

During the last Great Rift, Yoo Seodam earned quite a lot of money, and now that he didn’t have to rely on expensive equipment, there were still a lot of places where he had to spend money.

One of the most important points for the headquarters of a guild was a facility that could test or train superpowers separately. It would cost quite a bit to find a building that is able to withstand a superhuman’s power output.

“What am I supposed to do for two years, then?”

This was the problem. In the case of Ye Sa-hye, Yoo seodam could teach her swordsmanship in his old Dojo, and Shin Hye-ji would grow stronger by accepting her father’s Mugong. But Geom-hee was banned from using her Mugong and could not do anything. There was nothing Yoo seodam could do for her.

“What were you doing before?”

“I was working part-time at a PC room. I got fired from a part-time job at a cafe last time. The customers kept pestering me and I couldn’t stand it, so I got a little bit violent. Man, it’s hard to make ends meet, it’s so hard.”

“…..”

She said it in a joking manner, but Yoo Seodam couldn’t laugh.

It is said that people from Murim who got their Mugong sealed and couldn’t make good use of their abilities were working around at the construction site and part-time jobs. They had been away from society for so long, it was hard for them to adapt to modern times.

How wonderful would it be if they could use their ability to hunt?

“What? Why are you staring at me like that?”

“I just looked at you normally.”

“Fyuuuhh…..”

She clicked her tongue as if she knew what Yoo seodam was thinking.

“What can I do? I don’t want to die because I used Mugong for some dumb reason. It’s a bit frustrating not being able to use it, but it’s kinda okay these days.”

Ha Sun-young and Yoo seodam were at the Geumgang Gymnasium right now. They were there to confirm her ‘ban’. The Geumgang Gymnasium was also a training place for both superhuman and wannabe Hunter students. But today Yoo Seodam was renting the whole place.

“Can I see the ban myself?”

“Of course you can. There’s a tattoo on the right side just below my nape.”

With that in mind, Ha Sun-young undid her top and rolled it down slightly. When she pulled her hair aside and let it flow down, the line of her white neck was clearly visible.

On her white skin, a foreign red tattoo was carved.

The tattoo, unlike the usual Mugong, had some trace of ‘mana’ on it. It seems Mugong also uses some sort of mana. However, the method itself was completely different from the magic that Yoo Seodam knew.

‘White Witch’s Library. Search it.’

[Skill ‘White Witch Library (E)’ is activated.]

[Searching……]

[Search Results: None]

[Shall I search for something else?]

‘No, thanks.’

First of all, it doesn’t seem like magic. If so, was it witchcraft or sorcery or something else.

“It was a Tao art.”

“I see.”

Only

Well, the only thing that could be inferred from the martial arts world is a martial arts. The basic framework of the tattoo was very similar to magic, but unlike magic, which used all kinds of circuits to systematically control natural phenomena, Tao arts seemed to have given meaning to the mana itself.

In other words,

‘There’s nothing I can do.’

Too bad. If Yoo seodam had successfully lifted her ban here, Ha Sun-young could have started working as hunter of the C-rank by wearing a mask and hiding her strength just like Lee Dong-joon.

That would give Yoo seodam another power he could use except for Shin Hye-ji, who was not an ally, Ye Sa-hye, who was still an aspiring student, and Celeste, who was a business partner.

No matter how much he thought about it, he felt undoing the ban right now would yield him a great benefit.

‘Should I go to another world which is related to magic?’

-Hey, Witch~
