The Skill Maker -
Chapter 111
Chapter 111
The leader was one of the few skilled hunter in the guild .
‘Isn’t it the guild leader’s job to help the members increase their experience?’ .
It can be pretty dangerous if the guild only focuses on a few of the members .
What if something happens to that hunter during the hunt?
If a majority of the hunters were just supporting, can that really be considered as hunting?
Guild leaders should be like Kim Yoo-Na and consider each of the members’ skills important .
And that’s what the leader of Team Xeon lacked .
Hyun-Soo considered that to be the reason why he didn’t like their leader so much .
“He’s here again…tsk, tsk . He just doesn’t know when to quit . ”
“He should choose his opponent carefully . Yoo-Na isn’t even talking to him, but he’s acting all friendly . ”
“What’s with that attitude? They’re the ones getting our help, but they’re acting as if we’re hunting together . ”
The big hunters gathered together and quietly complained .
It was like seeing those middle-aged women in the markets .
‘I didn’t think I would experience the traditional Korean market atmosphere in the US…’
Katrina, who didn’t know anything about the conversation they were having, intercepted .
“What? Isn’t he supposed to talk to Yoo-Na since he’s the leader?”
“Hey . Kids don’t need to get involved . Shh . Go away . ”
“Who are you calling a kid? I’m old enough!”
“How tall are you?”
“…You’re mean . I’m not talking to you . I’m leaving . ”
Katrina was simply asking why it was odd for two leaders to talk to each other, but the members just ignored her .
When Katrina got attacked because of her height, she pouted and ran to Eugene .
The members didn’t really have any issues hunting a colorful portal .
The hunt itself involved a lot of social and political reasoning .
However, since they were only human, it was difficult for them to treat the other guild nicely .
“Hey, rookie . As the Super Rookie, hurry up and go save the princess . ”
“……Princess?”
“Yeah, the Snow White over there . ”
Their finger was pointing at Kim Yoo-Na .
“…… . ”
Kim Yoo-Na really was like Snow White .
She had black hair with fair skin . And she was beautiful too .
If Snow White lived in the present, she probably would’ve looked like Kim Yoo-Na .
However .
‘Snow White that kills a monster with her bare hands…’
It didn’t match at all .
“Oh, they’re finally calling us . It’s time, my friends . Let us defeat that villain . ”
After the leaders talked briefly, it was time to check the number of participants and their conditions .
The members stood up as if they were preparing for war .
They definitely weren’t nervous at all .
Hyun-Soo wasn’t sure if it was because they were confident in their skills or if there was something else .
‘…Now that I think about it, there is something . ’
Hyun-Soo recalled Riri, who was rolled up in his pocket .
The members promised to take Riri on this hunt and Hyun-Soo saw their determination .
The members dragged Hyun-Soo to the portal to test it out .
Thankfully, Riri was able to enter the portal, so a lot of the members felt relieved .
However, Riri couldn’t consume as well as they had expected .
Because of that, most of Hyun-Soo’s time was spent on going to other portals because the members forced him .
‘I was able to obtain ingredients for the potion thanks to that, but . ’
He was pretty tired .
It was a green portal, so the hunt wasn’t difficult .
Hyun-Soo was mentally tired .
“Why are you only staying with the rookie?! I’m the one that explained it, Riri!”
“Sigh . It would be nice if Riri cutely asked me for compliments…”
“I have hands…shoulders…and a head too…”
“Hey . You’ll die if you don’t have ahead . ”
Whenever Riri learned something new, she would fly to Hyun-Soo and ask for compliments .
Riri was like a puppy .
The way Riri asked for compliments was extremely cute and lovable .
The problem as that she only asked Hyun-Soo .
‘Man, I’m tired . ’
Hyun-Soo felt tired when these grown men were expressing their jealousy towards him .
It happened every time during Riri’s training .
The members in the clan were now saying how they wanted a daughter like Riri .
But the members that said it weren’t married .
“Riri . ”
Hyun-Soo lightly tapped his pocket .
Kyuuu?
Riri looked outside the pocket when she felt Hyun-Soo’s tap .
Riri tilted her head once and flew around Hyun-Soo after spreading out her wings .
Since both groups were near Kim Yoo-Na, the members of Xeon saw her too .
“Gasp! What is that?”
“Fairy? Is it a fairy?”
“Why is a fairy over there?”
The members of Xeon must’ve been surprised because they were talking about Riri .
Thanks to that, the members’ pride shot up .
They all had a satisfied expression and it was as if Riri was their own daughter .
Look at my big and awesome…no, small and cute Riri!
Be jealous!
Even though they didn’t say it, it was obvious as to what they were thinking .
‘We definitely got their attention . ’
It seemed like it happened all of a sudden, but this was actually part of their plan .
The purpose of this hunt was to show Xeon that they were on a different class than them .
That’s why, the more they were surprised and shocked, the better it was for them .
Kyuuuu-
Riri flew higher and after spinning around once, she sat on Hyun-Soo’s shoulder .
A lot of eyes followed Rir’s movement .
Leon, the leader of the Team Xeon, followed as well .
The way Leon looked at Hyun-Soo was different from when he was talking to Kim Yoo-Na .
Smirk .
When Hyun-Soo felt Leon’s eyes on him, a smirk appeared on his face .
He didn’t do it on purpose, but a frown appeared on Leon’s face when he saw it .
“Yoo-Na, what is that?”
“It’s a monster that a member is raising . ”
When Kim Yoo-Na replied, the members of Xeon started talking amongst themselves .
“It’s a monster? Then, isn’t it dangerous?”
“She told you that I’m raising the monster . She’s not dangerous . At least not to her allies . ”
When Leon asked, Hyun-Soo stepped forward and answered for Kim Yoo-Na .
Leon still had a frown on his face .
“I asked Yoo-Na . ”
“Oh, really? You kept on looking at me, so I thought you were talking to me . ”
Hyun-Soo shrugged and then took a step back .
Leon was still looking at Hyun-Soo, but Hyun-Soo didn’t care and let Riri fly again .
Riri understood what Hyun-Soo wanted, so she spun around Team Xeon .
Tap, tap!
“……?!”
Someone hit his back while he was watching Riri fly around Team Xeon .
He slightly turned his head and saw that it was the members .
He followed their eyes and looked down and noticed that all of them had their thumbs up .
Thumbs up .
It seemed like they were complimenting him, but he didn’t know why .
‘…It’s difficult to understand them sometimes . ’
A war of nerves took place during the last minute check-up and that war ended when they announced that they would be moving on soon .
Riri returned to Hyun-Soo’s shoulder and then flapped her wings .
And then .
“We’re here . ”
The third colorful portal appeared before them .
***
The creaking wooden floors created an unpleasant sound .
When they entered the portal, they ended up inside a wooden building .
At first, they didn’t know they were inside a building .
There were a few things they noticed, but overall, they couldn’t really see much .
“Maybe it’s because it’s a colorful portal, but it feels like they haven’t finished building this place . ”
There was a floor and ceiling, but no walls .
And there were stairs, but there wasn’t anything to support those stairs .
The stairs were just floating in the air .
Would it break if someone walked on it?
“We need to go up there . According to the report, there shouldn’t be any problem going up a level . But still, don’t let your guard down . ”
Everyone knew about that .
The team explored the first floor and after going up to the second floor, they discovered a set of stairs that led to the third floor and then returned .
‘They should do better than that . ’
Hyun-Soo couldn’t help but feel that way, but he decided to try to understand them .
Since there were a lot of limits, there was definitely going to be flaws in the report .
They enter the portal without any information and on top of that, they don’t make any plans prior to entering .
They usually look around and create a general report, so of course the report would be lacking a lot of information .
The first floor was worn out, but the second floor was worse .
After walking up the old, shabby stairs, it revealed a sight that was worse than the first floor .
Weird wooden models were lying in different areas .
It seemed like someone was creating a wooden doll, but messed up while making it .
They were falling apart and looking at them didn’t make them feel very good .
“Riri . ”
Riri flapped her wings and appeared in front of Hyun-Soo .
“Can you check the floor above? If it’s dangerous, come right back . ”
Kyuuu!
Riri followed the stairs and flew up to the third floor .
When Hyun-Soo slightly turned his head back, he saw that Leon had a shocked look on his face .
‘Yeah, I’m sure you guys will never experience this again . Take a good look and make sure to tell your friends . ’
Riri returned moments later .
Riri started explaining about the situation on the third floor .
“……?”
The problem was that he couldn’t understand .
Kyuuuuu!
Even though he couldn’t understand, he was able to make an assumption based on her body language and the way she flapped her wings .
‘I guess there aren’t any issues or monsters, so it’s probably not dangerous . ’
Kyuuuu?
“Oh, right . So you’re saying that it’s not that dangerous, right?”
Riri nodded her head .
“Let’s head upstairs . She said it’s not dangerous . But, we should still be cautious . ”
After Hyun-Soo translated Riri’s movements, Kim Yoo-Na, who was watching her surroundings, nodded her head .
And then she ordered the group to move .
“Wow…I guess it’s possible to use it that way . ”
Leon admired Riri because she was better than any other exploration devices .
Kyuuuuu-
Riri flew in a circle as if to show off .
It was like she was saying, “I did well, right?”
The way she acted was cute and praiseworthy, and it made Hyun-Soo smile .
“There aren’t any traps . ”
“There’s nothing hidden here either . ”
The third and second floor were pretty much the same .
Just a shabby floor, ceiling and stairs .
Riri took the lead this time too .
They were only given information about the first and second floor .
That’s why they had to be extra cautious .
Kyuuuu!
Riri used her body and wings again .
That happened several more times .
It’s because every time they walked up, the same style floor appeared before them .
Every time that happened, they became even more envious of Riri .
