 Jinwoo Sung : That's two of the three ingredients
I need for the Elixir of Life. |
(0:00:11.62) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Just one to go: |
(0:00:15.71) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : the purified blood of the demon monarch. |
(0:00:17.79) |
Jinwoo Sung : When I go for it,
I'll need to be fully prepared. |
(0:00:20.69) |
Jinwoo Sung : I've leveled up a fair bit from
visiting the Demon's Castle. |
(0:00:24.19) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : But officially, I'm still E-Rank. |
(0:00:27.76) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : I might want to get stronger, |
(0:00:31.42) |
Jinwoo Sung : but I won't be able to participate
in higher-level raids with that rank. |
(0:00:33.48) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : I need to stop faking. |
(0:00:38.98) |
Jinwoo Sung : And it's not like the truth
can stay secret forever. |
(0:00:41.65) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : I'll get my hunter rank reassessed. |
(0:00:45.49) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Sure. |
(0:02:58.49) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : ＂As long as you're not E-Rank,＂ huh? |
(0:03:29.70) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Coming. |
(0:03:34.72) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Sung Jinwoo. |
(0:03:39.80) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Right. |
(0:03:42.93) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Sure. |
(0:04:01.65) |
 Jong-In Choi : Is there any news on the
winged ants from before? |
(0:04:45.59) |
 Woo Jinchul : The intel department's
commenced their necropsy. |
(0:04:48.74) |
Woo Jinchul : They'll be comparing their biology and
trace magic power levels with past examples |
(0:04:51.39) |
|
Woo Jinchul : in order to see what's going on. |
(0:04:54.77) |
|
Woo Jinchul : The results will take a bit longer, though. |
(0:04:57.53) |
|
Jong-In Choi : I see. |
(0:05:01.00) |
|
Jong-In Choi : So many strange things lately... |
(0:05:02.32) |
|
Jong-In Choi : Like the red gate, for instance. |
(0:05:05.27) |
Jong-In Choi : Apparently an outsider who was participating
in the White Tiger Guild raid |
(0:05:08.79) |
|
Jong-In Choi : ended up beating the dungeon boss? |
(0:05:12.09) |
|
Jong-In Choi : Who exactly is he? |
(0:05:14.85) |
Woo Jinchul : I was present during the investigation,
but not the entire time. |
(0:05:17.40) |
|
Woo Jinchul : So I don't have all the details. |
(0:05:22.72) |
|
Jong-In Choi : That's a shame. |
(0:05:24.28) |
Jong-In Choi : Oh, something seems to be
going on over by the lobby. |
(0:05:26.52) |
Woo Jinchul : Most likely an awakened making a fuss
after having been assessed. |
(0:05:30.41) |
|
Woo Jinchul : I'll check it out. |
(0:05:34.19) |
|
Jong-In Choi : I'll join you. |
(0:05:37.15) |
|
Jong-In Choi : I'm curious about the commotion. |
(0:05:39.47) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Understood. |
(0:05:58.76) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : He who stands at the pinnacle of fire magic, |
(0:06:19.93) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : the hunter known as the ＂ultimate weapon＂... |
(0:06:23.99) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : The counterpart to my old nickname. |
(0:06:26.94) |
|
Jong-In Choi : Well, that explains the commotion, then. |
(0:06:29.68) |
|
Jong-In Choi : It's a pleasure to meet you. |
(0:06:34.50) |
Jong-In Choi : My name is Choi Jong-in,
and I represent the Hunters Guild. |
(0:06:35.95) |
|
Jong-In Choi : Have you decided on a guild yet? |
(0:06:40.12) |
Jong-In Choi : I'd like to discuss it with you
if you're not busy. |
(0:06:42.72) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : I am, sorry. |
(0:06:45.12) |
Jong-In Choi : Manager Woo, I did mention that I was Choi
Jong-in from the Hunters Guild, didn't I? |
(0:06:53.85) |
|
Woo Jinchul : Yes, I'm certain. |
(0:06:59.23) |
|
Jong-In Choi : It seems I've grown conceited. |
(0:07:02.07) |
|
Woo Jinchul : Hunter Sung... Then it's really true. |
(0:07:06.01) |
|
Jong-In Choi : And now he's gone without a trace. |
(0:07:10.33) |
|
Woo Jinchul : Maybe he's an assassin type? |
(0:07:13.10) |
|
Jong-In Choi : President Baek... |
(0:07:17.61) |
|
Jong-In Choi : I see how it is now. |
(0:07:21.33) |
|
Jong-In Choi : The White Tiger's office isn't far from here, |
(0:07:23.64) |
|
Jong-In Choi : but he ran hard enough to be short of breath. |
(0:07:26.85) |
|
Jong-In Choi : That's how badly he wanted to talk to him. |
(0:07:30.07) |
Jong-In Choi : Jackpot. This must be the outsider
who cleared the red gate. |
(0:07:34.28) |
Jinwoo Sung : She looks like she could
wake up at any moment. |
(0:08:02.08) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Just a bit longer now, Mom. |
(0:08:13.17) |
|
Woo Jinchul : It seems my eyes have failed me all this time. |
(0:08:18.15) |
|
Woo Jinchul : The surveillance team's job is to watch hunters |
(0:08:22.11) |
|
Woo Jinchul : and punish any who break the law. |
(0:08:25.36) |
Woo Jinchul : I'm usually confident about
my judgment, but this time... |
(0:08:28.68) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Do I need surveillance? |
(0:08:32.13) |
|
Woo Jinchul : Not the same way that a criminal might. |
(0:08:34.43) |
Woo Jinchul : The surveillance team is the only group
able to handle hunter-related incidents. |
(0:08:37.01) |
Woo Jinchul : But when dealing with S-Ranks,
even we're powerless. |
(0:08:41.54) |
Woo Jinchul : There's someone who'd like
to meet you, Hunter Sung. |
(0:08:46.59) |
 Gunhee Go : It's a pleasure. |
(0:08:58.52) |
Gunhee Go : My name is Go Gunhee, and I'm the
chairman of the Hunter's Association. |
(0:09:00.06) |
Gunhee Go : First of all, congratulations
on your S-Rank assessment. |
(0:09:05.75) |
Gunhee Go : The reassessment is but
a formality at this point. |
(0:09:10.56) |
Gunhee Go : From the moment you're confirmed to be
off the charts, you're S-Rank by definition. |
(0:09:14.13) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Why bother, then? |
(0:09:18.75) |
|
Gunhee Go : With the formal reassessment? |
(0:09:20.33) |
|
Gunhee Go : It's something of a grace period. |
(0:09:24.85) |
Gunhee Go : It allows us to make contact
with individuals such as yourself. |
(0:09:27.47) |
Gunhee Go : Sadly, despite our reach, the Association
does not have many skilled hunters. |
(0:09:32.60) |
Gunhee Go : We can't really compete with large guilds
in terms of pay or fame. |
(0:09:37.62) |
Gunhee Go : Manager Woo is one of our top-level hunters,
and even he's only A-Rank. |
(0:09:42.93) |
|
Gunhee Go : I'll get to the point now. |
(0:09:49.55) |
|
Gunhee Go : I would be thrilled if you could join us. |
(0:09:52.85) |
Gunhee Go : I can prepare a key position
in the Association for you. |
(0:09:57.53) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Why go so far? |
(0:10:01.85) |
Gunhee Go : The nation's greatest advocates right now
are not the government, |
(0:10:03.67) |
Gunhee Go : but the hunters, who protect
the people from magic beasts. |
(0:10:07.48) |
|
Gunhee Go : The core of which is the five largest guilds. |
(0:10:10.80) |
|
Gunhee Go : In a sense, it's like five great dinosaurs |
(0:10:15.97) |
Gunhee Go : maintaining a delicate stalemate
against each other. |
(0:10:17.73) |
Gunhee Go : But should you join any of them,
that balance will collapse. |
(0:10:20.99) |
Gunhee Go : The Hunter's Association is vital
to the nation as a deterrent to them— |
(0:10:26.92) |
|
Gunhee Go : a sixth power, essentially. |
(0:10:31.40) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : And that's why you want me to join? |
(0:10:34.32) |
|
Gunhee Go : You certainly possess the strength for the job. |
(0:10:36.28) |
|
Gunhee Go : Perhaps even one day... |
(0:10:39.76) |
|
Gunhee Go : So, what do you think? |
(0:10:43.83) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : It's a good offer. |
(0:10:46.29) |
Jinwoo Sung : A job inside of the Association
is basically a guaranteed career track. |
(0:10:48.61) |
Jinwoo Sung : I doubt there's anyone with
greater reach than Chairman Go, |
(0:10:54.00) |
Jinwoo Sung : especially with the press
and the government. |
(0:10:57.04) |
Jinwoo Sung : Plus, he's an amazing hunter.
The first S-Rank to awaken in this country. |
(0:11:01.53) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : He possesses overwhelming magic power |
(0:11:06.97) |
Jinwoo Sung : and a physique that's makes it
hard to believe he's over 80. |
(0:11:08.83) |
Jinwoo Sung : He's retired, yet he's on even footing
with me after all my efforts to level up. |
(0:11:12.09) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : If I accept his offer, my life will change. |
(0:11:18.92) |
|
Gunhee Go : Well, Hunter Sung? |
(0:11:24.54) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : I'm sorry. I have to refuse. |
(0:11:29.00) |
|
Gunhee Go : I suppose it all comes down to money, then. |
(0:11:34.03) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : I want to fight, sir. |
(0:11:37.32) |
|
Gunhee Go : You mean against magic beasts? |
(0:11:40.53) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Right. The dungeons are where I belong. |
(0:11:44.84) |
Gunhee Go : Incredible. I can tell from his eyes
that he's not lying. |
(0:11:50.63) |
Gunhee Go : How many years has it been
since I've felt this sensation? |
(0:11:55.72) |
Gunhee Go : I'm impressed my heart can still
make these kinds of noises. |
(0:12:00.09) |
Gunhee Go : If I were twenty—no, ten years younger,
I could've stood aside someone like him. |
(0:12:03.91) |
|
Gunhee Go : Understood. I won't press the issue. |
(0:12:12.67) |
Jinwoo Sung : My sister is at home alone,
so I should get going. |
(0:12:16.06) |
|
Gunhee Go : Thank you for your time. |
(0:12:21.73) |
Gunhee Go : I remember how crestfallen I was
when I aged past the point |
(0:12:28.33) |
Gunhee Go : that even an S-Rank healer
couldn't offset my decline. |
(0:12:32.40) |
|
Gunhee Go : Cancel the rest of my schedule for today. |
(0:12:37.07) |
|
Gunhee Go : I don't want anything to disrupt this feeling. |
(0:12:40.29) |
|
Gunhee Go : Manager Woo, would you join me for a drink? |
(0:12:43.83) |
Woo Jinchul : As long as you don't mind
that I won't partake. |
(0:12:47.32) |
|
Gunhee Go : Not a problem. |
(0:12:50.92) |
|
Gunhee Go : I wonder if he likes to drink? |
(0:12:53.63) |
Jinwoo Sung : The Association mostly handles
D and E-Rank dungeons. |
(0:12:57.88) |
Jinwoo Sung : I need to level up as soon as possible
so that I can heal Mom. |
(0:13:01.92) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : I don't have time to waste. |
(0:13:07.52) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Because I can keep growing! |
(0:13:10.47) |
Jinwoo Sung : Artifacts: a word that usually
refers to man-made relics. |
(0:14:46.29) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : But in the world of hunters, |
(0:14:50.73) |
Jinwoo Sung : artifacts are high-level gear that even
experienced craftsmen can't produce. |
(0:14:52.16) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : With the increase in hunters, |
(0:14:57.22) |
Jinwoo Sung : you can find them in online auctions
like anything else, but... |
(0:14:59.33) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Do they have to be so expensive? |
(0:15:03.13) |
Jinwoo Sung : I want my gear to be flawless before
I take on the rest of the Demon's Castle. |
(0:15:06.97) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Nothing in the store seemed a good fit. |
(0:15:10.90) |
Jinwoo Sung : The Sphere of Avarice can be transferred.
I should be able to sell it. |
(0:15:15.05) |
Jinwoo Sung : Most of the best gear in circulation offers
a 20-30% increase in performance, |
(0:15:19.30) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : but this sphere can double magic damage. |
(0:15:24.53) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : And that means it'll fetch a high price. |
(0:15:27.85) |
Jinwoo Sung : Which will raise the question:
how does an E-Rank like me have it? |
(0:15:30.69) |
Jinwoo Sung : People are bound to try and
find out where it came from. |
(0:15:34.74) |
Jinwoo Sung : If there was a record of me entering an
A-Rank gate, that'd serve as an excuse. |
(0:15:37.81) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : But I can't join a raid like that as an E-Rank. |
(0:15:41.29) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Wait, someone's actually recruiting? |
(0:15:45.90) |
|
Gunhee Go : This is our data from four years ago? |
(0:15:50.86) |
Gunhee Go : His photo looks completely
different. Like a child. |
(0:15:53.19) |
Gunhee Go : Is there a chance he
falsified his original rank? |
(0:15:57.03) |
Woo Jinchul : He's on the record as being
severely injured several times. |
(0:15:59.82) |
|
Woo Jinchul : That makes it unlikely. |
(0:16:03.59) |
Gunhee Go : It's incredible that he held out
for so long, after so many raids. |
(0:16:05.73) |
Woo Jinchul : Paying for his mother's Eternal Sleep
treatment and his sister's tuition... |
(0:16:11.09) |
Woo Jinchul : He's been supporting his family
with his income. |
(0:16:15.21) |
Gunhee Go : You don't see that kind of devotion
from young folks these days. |
(0:16:18.06) |
Woo Jinchul : There's been a report that Hunter Sung
has joined a Hunters Guild raid team. |
(0:16:22.31) |
Gunhee Go : Then, in spite of what he said, he was
lured in by a lucrative signing bonus... |
(0:16:28.27) |
Woo Jinchul : From what the report says,
he's joined a mining team of theirs. |
(0:16:33.70) |
|
Gunhee Go : A mining team? |
(0:16:38.19) |
|
Woo Jinchul : Yes, sir. |
(0:16:39.79) |
|
Gunhee Go : He's certainly hard to predict, isn't he? |
(0:16:43.75) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Yes, sir. |
(0:16:48.65) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : This is my first time. |
(0:16:50.90) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Right. |
(0:17:02.79) |
Jinwoo Sung : Major raids that take place in high-level
dungeons demand a degree of specialization. |
(0:17:03.96) |
Jinwoo Sung : You have the strike team
that deals with magic beasts, |
(0:17:09.07) |
Jinwoo Sung : the mining team that collects
the mana crystals in the dungeon, |
(0:17:11.75) |
Jinwoo Sung : and the collection team that
recovers the beast carcasses. |
(0:17:15.18) |
Jinwoo Sung : It's a lot of personnel,
but the profits justify it. |
(0:17:19.38) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : I bet right now, inside the dungeon... |
(0:17:23.21) |
|
Jong-In Choi : Back up, please. |
(0:17:26.82) |
|
Jong-In Choi : They don't seem to appreciate the light. |
(0:17:28.72) |
|
Jong-In Choi : Tanks... |
(0:17:51.84) |
|
Jong-In Choi : If you would, please. |
(0:17:55.57) |
Jong-In Choi : The carcasses aren't of much use
if they're cooked to well-done, |
(0:18:10.05) |
|
Jong-In Choi : so I tried to keep it at medium. |
(0:18:12.99) |
Jong-In Choi : I believe that takes care of most
of the nearby enemies. |
(0:18:15.65) |
|
Jong-In Choi : Let's move on. |
(0:18:19.04) |
Jong-In Choi : I know one of us has a sensitive nose,
so do mind the smell of burning beasts. |
(0:18:21.34) |
Jinwoo Sung : Then everything but the
dungeon boss is dead already? |
(0:18:30.07) |
Jinwoo Sung : I could sense he was strong
during our encounter yesterday, |
(0:18:33.29) |
Jinwoo Sung : but for everyone to emerge from an
A-Rank gate without a scratch... |
(0:18:37.29) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : just goes to show how strong. |
(0:18:40.07) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : That's her... |
(0:18:48.30) |
Jinwoo Sung : The vice guild master of the Hunters Guild,
and the ninth S-Rank hunter in this country. |
(0:18:50.21) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Cha Hae-in, the Dancer. |
(0:18:56.43) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Incredible... |
(0:18:59.54) |
Jinwoo Sung : I have to wonder how many people
in the world have that much aura. |
(0:19:01.94) |
 Hae-In Cha : I thought I just sensed
something incredible... |
(0:19:09.99) |
|
Hae-In Cha : Was I imagining it? |
(0:19:13.09) |
Hae-In Cha : For a second, I thought
Chairman Go was around. |
(0:19:14.51) |
|
Hae-In Cha : But now there's no trace of whoever it was. |
(0:19:17.90) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : She's even sharper than I thought. |
(0:19:23.29) |
Jinwoo Sung : With the strike team's work finished,
it's the mining and collection teams' turn. |
(0:19:28.49) |
Jinwoo Sung : There's a magic power signal
coming from deeper in the dungeon. |
(0:19:44.61) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Must be the A-Rank dungeon boss giving it off. |
(0:19:48.67) |
Jinwoo Sung : It's stronger than Vulcan and Metis
from the Demon's Castle. |
(0:19:53.65) |
Jinwoo Sung : I'm tempted to find out for myself
how strong an A-Rank boss really is. |
(0:19:58.11) |
Jinwoo Sung : No matter where you go,
E-Ranks get the same treatment. |
(0:20:12.81) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Not that I intend on doing this for long. |
(0:20:16.93) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : I just want to finish up here first. |
(0:20:59.58) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Sure. |
(0:21:05.60) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : I'm finally alone. |
(0:21:16.93) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : I can't let this chance slip by. |
(0:21:18.75) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Break time lasts an hour... Let's take a peek. |
(0:21:21.32) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : This must be the boss chamber. |
(0:21:29.37) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Definitely seems stronger than Metis. |
(0:21:32.19) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : I realize that I shouldn't defeat this boss. |
(0:21:35.94) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : If I do, the gate closes, |
(0:21:40.47) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : at a huge loss to the Hunters Guild. |
(0:21:43.27) |
|
Jinwoo Sung : Still... A little poke can't hurt. |
(0:21:47.17) |
|
Hae-In Cha : What are you doing there? |
(0:21:51.38) |
|
Hae-In Cha : I'll ask again. |
(0:21:59.42) |
|
Hae-In Cha : What do you think you're doing? |
(0:22:01.90) |
