I was a little worried.
There were many people who glanced at Choi Joo-hyuk who was following behind him.
'Well, that's because it's a face that's been shown so many times on the news.'
Fortunately, due to the nature of my job as a hunter, people didn't talk to me easily.
Unlike celebrities who are like idols, it takes a lot of courage to talk to someone who walks around with a long sword hanging from their waist.
"Hunter Choi."
"yes."
"Do people usually recognize you this often?"
"Yes, I do that often. If it's uncomfortable, I'll wear a mask."
"Oh, are you carrying a mask?"
"Yes, I have a combat mask.
Huh? For combat?
Choi Joo-hyuk suddenly took something out of his bosom.
It was a full-face mask that could cover the entire face.
It had a strange color to it, as if it was made of an unusual material.
Knock knock.
Choi Joo-hyuk tapped the mask a few times and then put it on his face.
I blankly looked up at Choi Joo-hyuk.
'It looks like it's going to attract more attention...'
Still, the people around him probably didn't know that it was Choi Joo-hyuk.
You wouldn't think that the guy wearing a full-face mask in early summer was Choi Joo-hyuk.
I bowed my head slightly to Choi Joo-hyuk, who was wearing a mask.
"Thank you for your consideration."
"No. I am in a position to ask a favor. Please take care of it."
There has been no conversation since then.
I just walked and walked.
Actually, Choi Joo-hyuk and I had nothing to talk about.
As I was walking, I arrived at the Hunter Association.
"Oh, you've arrived. I'll go alone."
Are you taking Choi Joo-hyuk to the Hunter Association?
If you want to be on the news, there's no simpler way. Becoming famous comes later.
"Yes, I will wait outside."
Luckily, Choi Joo-hyuk said he would wait outside.
I gave my thanks and went inside the Hunter's Association.
There were two familiar faces at the desk.
'Manager Lim and Manager Park!'
It was Manager Lim, the female desk clerk who gave me my hunter's license, and Manager Park, the male desk clerk w ho gave me the magic test.
Manager Lim and Manager Park seemed to recognize me as well.
"Oh, hello. You're back so quickly? Are you the one who awakened as a healer back then?"
Manager Lim smiled brightly.
Well, now that I see that kind face, I understand his businesslike attitude at the time.
'If only one such person appears a day, that's 365 people in a year.'
If you do a rank check, you can prove that it is S-rank.
No, I don't know.
Could it be that S-rank may not come out because of the healer's unique magic power?
"What brings you here?"
In response to Manager Lim's question, I took out my cell phone and showed it to him.
"Oh, I'd like to apply for the gate raid. They said I need to apply offline at first."
Manager Lim nodded vigorously and pointed to the tablet in front of me.
"Yes, I see. Which gate do you want to conquer? If you look at the tablet in front of you, you can see the gates that have been discovered and reported. The empty gates that can be conquered right now are marked with a green square, the gat es that are reserved are marked with an orange square, and the gates that are being conquered are marked with a red square."
I lowered my head and put the tablet down.
Of course, there were no S-class gates that we had only heard of, and most of them were C-class or D-class gates. Occasionally there were B or A class gates, which were already reserved.
It seems that a large guild probably bought it at auction.
'Let's see, F-class gate.'
When the gate public attack time is over, Hunters belonging to the Hunter Association or members of the Hunter Group directly take the lead in the attack.
Even if it was an F-class gate, if it was not attacked, the ground would explode even in a small radius.
'There are so many F-grade gates that they give a lot of benefits. So even low-grade gates will be actively attacked.'
If you conquer the F-class gate, the government will give you special benefits.
It was a minor benefit, like giving a higher price when selling magic stones.
In order to deal with even the minor F-class gates, the Hunter Association's Hunters and Hunter Army personnel are insufficient, so they are resorting to bait.
At that moment, I saw an F-class gate open on the mountain behind my house.
There was still more than 3 hours left until the gate was opened.
"I'd like to use this gate."
"Oh, yes. Then I will check the party member status."
Manager Lim tapped the keyboard a few times and then nodded.
"Yes, two party members have been confirmed. But... the party members' nicknames are unique..."
I glanced at the screen and chuckled.
I was the party leader, and the party members were my attachment dolls.
"Yes, I can't sleep without my doll."
"Hahaha, me too."
Manager Lim smiled faintly and informed us that the reception process was complete.
"It's done, Hunter Han Ji-woo!"
"Oh, okay. Thank you."
"No, come again!"
"Okay, then thank you for your hard work."
I left the reception desk with a brief thank you.
And then the next complainant passes by me...
'uh?'
I looked back hurriedly.
I could tell who it was just by looking at its profile.
Well, if you can't tell by looking at that blue hair, then you should quit being a hunter.
'S-class Hunter Guraon!'
