“Operator, how much time left?”


  [You will return to the Hunter’s Hall in 17 Minutes and 24 Seconds.]

  After asking for the time, Kei turned to leave. Hiro, who had his forehead touching the ground, looked up and stood up to follow.

  “Sensei, where are you going? I will go with you.”


  The other two people, Henrik and Kultu, looked at each other. The Boss monster was killed, but there was bound to be more undead mobs remaining somewhere.

  In other words, the safest place right now was standing close to Kei.

  “.……Let’s go too.”


  The two men understood each other without communicating. They, too, followed Sungjin. Akanna briefly wiped the blood off of his face and followed behind the others.

  The other hunters followed Kei like a Shadow. Hiro stayed close to Kei and continued to try and make conversation with him.

  “Sensei, please give me one word of advice. How can I become powerful like you?”


  Kei finally broke the silence and half-heartedly gave a response.

  “Operator already said how. Increase your stats, get good items…… And stuff.”


  He recited a textbook answer.

  “Do you have no comment about my Kendo skills?”


  Kei bit his lips for a moment and pondered, but he gave another half-hearted answer in the end.

  “Just do a lot of fighting. Forget everything you learned at the Dojo.”


  “Excuse me?”


  Kei explained himself.

  “We’re not fighting Humans. We fight monsters. Real combat experience here is more important.”


  “Ah…… Thank you for your teachings Sensei.”


  Kei shook his head at Hiro’s words. And along the way

  “Sensei? Where are you headed to anyway? Don’t go too far. A Ghost appears somewhere ahead.”


  At that moment,

  “A ghost?”


  Kei, who was responding in a half bored and half annoyed manner, changed his tone of voice. He stopped in his tracks and turned to interrogate Hiro.

  “What ghost?”


  Seeing Kei’s sudden spike in interest, Hiro excitedly explained what he knew.

  “Well, You know, a female ghost like those you see in scary movies. With pale skin and blood dripping from the lips……”


  Kei took hold of Hiro’s shoulders and spoke once more.

  “Where did you see it?”


  “Way over there~ It was flying around. Right before we saw the boss. You know, it’s pretty hard to tell where we were though……’


  Kei glanced at Kultu and Henrik. The two men shook their heads. Kei returned his gaze to Hiro.

  “That ghost…… is it very noticeable?”


  “Very. She wore a white dress and seemed to glow slightly. She should be visible from far away.”


  Kei suddenly turned his head.

  “Hidden……”


  He muttered something under his breath and suddenly shouted

  “Swift Paw”


  His boots suddenly grew claws. And before the others recovered from the surprise, Kei began running away at an incredible speed.

  No, it was beyond incredible. It was completely outside the boundary of human limitations.

  Although Henrik and Kultu stared with their mouths open, Hiro yelled

  “Sensei! Wait for me!”


  Only Hiro chased after Kei in the darkness.
