Chapter 26: S-rank Dungeon (1)

Sung Joon, who had checked his messages, belatedly remembered that he had promised to eat with Eun Joo .

“Should I go…” he wondered .

Rishubalt interjected, “You need adequate rest for the next battle . You are already well aware of that, aren’t you, my lord?”

“You’re right about that . ”

Sung Joon, with his ample combat experience, knew just how important rest was .

 

[Just a little while ago, an S-rank dungeon emerged . I, along with other assault teams, applied for the preferential rights* to occupy a dungeon . I’d like to talk to you about this as well, if you have time . ] (*Just a reminder: it means that they get to go into the dungeon first . )

 

Despite Sung Joon reading the message, he didn’t reply; yet, Eun Joo sent another message . Sung Joon, who read the contents of that message, was interested .

Because Sung Joon was an rank Hunter, it was impossible for him to apply for an S-rank dungeon solo run .

‘If there are official records of attacking an S-rank dungeon, my rating should increase by a lot, right…?’

The Eroding Dungeon had been acknowledged as an S-rank dungeon, thus dropping a lot of magic stones, but in the official records, it was recognized as an rank .

Even if one just safely clears an rank dungeon, their rating would increase by a lot, but it wasn’t at the level that could be compared to an S-rank dungeon .

 

[Please message me the location and the time . ]

 

Sung Joon was an rank Hunter, so he could apply for matching for the one level higher S-rank dungeon, but due to their rarity, guilds or regular assault teams would often use their preferential occupancy rights in order to secure the dungeons . Thus, it would be difficult for him to schedule an appointment .

Sung Joon thought of Eun Joo’s offer as a chance, and sent his reply . And in just a short time, Eun Joo messaged him the location and the time .

“Ridis Hotel, huh…”

It was a place that large business conglomerates or rich Hunters used .

‘Well, she’s an S-rank Hunter, so she probably makes a lot of money . ’

Sung Joon belatedly remembered that Eun Joo was an S-rank Hunter and nodded his head . Sung Joon also made quite a bit of money, but an S-rank Hunter’s earnings was beyond his imagination .

‘I’m not the one buying, so it’s great to eat somewhere nice . ’

Sung Joon smiled .

Sung Joon had returned to his studio apartment and accessed Hunter . com, gathering information regarding the newly emerged S-rank dungeon

.

All the information uploaded on Hunter . com confirmed that the appearance of the S-rank dungeon was real, but in order to make sure, Sung Joon called Hyun Sung .

“This is Kim Hyun Sung . ”

Hyun Sung picked up the phone .

“Team Leader Kim, they say that an S-rank dungeon appeared just a little while ago in Seoul… is that true?”

“Yes, it’s true . I know for sure because our team is helping out with the Dungeon Bureau’s investigation . ”

“If that’s the case, is it true that Ms . Choi Eun Joo’s regular assault team, ‘Dike’s’ preferential occupancy rights have been acknowledged for this S-rank dungeon that appeared?”

“Yes, Ms . Choi Eun Joo’s regular assault team, ‘Dike’ and Ms . Park Ha Yeon’s ‘Royal Cross’ jointly used their preferential occupancy rights, so it was acknowledged . ”

At Hyun Sung’s words, Sung Joon sifted through his memories regarding Park Ha Yeon . He had often heard about her being the 10th place S-rank Hunter, so he definitely remembered her .

Since he had his computer powered on in front of him, he browsed Hunter . com for information regarding Park Ha Yeon .

Since it was information that was disclosed to the public, he couldn’t procure any detailed information on her, but he was able to figure out that she was a Supporter Hunter, as well as the vice guild leader of the 11th rank guild, ‘Imperial’ without much difficulty .

He just couldn’t figure out what kind of person she was .

‘I’ll figure it out if I meet her in person . ’

Sung Joon decided to think about it in a carefree way . He finished his call with Hyun Sung and passed the time by briefly browsing through Hunter . com .

Time flew by quickly and it was now time for him to met Eun Joo, as he had promised . Sung Joon went outside and rode in his Hunter sedan towards the Ridis Hotel .  

“You may go in . ”

As it was the most luxurious hotel in Korea, there were armed guards protecting it . There was a low chance, but if there were an outbreak of a Raid nearby, they were there to protect the guests .

Aside from that, it was because public order had lessened when the dungeons and Raids had appeared . Contrary to the past, people could often see armed security guards in Korea now .

“Mr . Sung Joon! Over here!”

Eun Joo, who had been waiting in the lobby, discovered Sung Joon, and waved her hand with a joyful expression . It looked as if she were a puppy who had discovered her owner

owner and was waving her tail .

Sung Joon thought that he might be late, so he checked the time, but it was twenty minutes before their appointment .

“You came early,” Sung Joon commented .

“I didn’t have anything to do and I was bored . That’s why I came first and waited,” replied Eun Joo, smiling timidly .

He didn’t know what was making her so happy; her smile wouldn’t leave her face .

When he saw her expression, Sung Joon just thought that perhaps something good had happened for her .

“You’re hungry, right? Let’s hurry and go in . ”

Sung Joon nodded at Eun Joo’s offer . The two ate in the hotel’s restaurant while conversing .

They started their conversation lightly, but soon started talking about the S-rank dungeon .

“You know Ha Yeon, right? We’ve decided to attack this S-rank dungeon together this time . ”

Eun Joo and Ha Yeon were close . Therefore, they were familiar* when they talked to each other . (*Lack of honorifics . )

“How is the party organized?” Sung Joon asked .

A party’s configuration was one of the most important issues when attacking a dungeon . Eun Joon grinned, and opened her mouth .

“The S-ranks are me and Ha Yeon . And if we include you, Mr . Sung Joon, there are thirteen ranks,” she said .

“That seems quite adequate . ”

Sung Joon nodded his head . That was enough people to attack an S-rank dungeon .

“That’s fifteen people altogether . ”

“One Supporter, one Mage, and two Healers . ”

It wasn’t just the number of people, but the composition also wasn’t bad . Especially since they had Park Ha Yeon, who was the first amongst Supporter Hunters in Korea to achieve S-rank, so their combat strength would increase significantly .

There was a massive difference between an rank Supporter Hunter’s buffs and an S-rank Supporter Hunter’s buffs .

“Ha Yeon and I both definitely want you to join us . ”

“If you give me an additional payment of 10%, I’ll think about it positively,” Sung Joon replied .

Eun Joo furrowed her beautiful slender long eyebrows at his response . In no time, they had completed their meal and dessert was coming out .

Sung Joon hurriedly finished off his dessert and when he was about to stand up from his seat…

“Please give me just a minute . ” Eun Joo called out to Sung Joon .

Sung Joon sat back into his chair, and smiled faintly .

“We’ll give you an additional payment of 10% . Let’s go together . ”

“That sounds good . When is the attack scheduled?”

“It’s in one week .

. However, we’re thinking of practicing our teamwork at ‘Iron’ . You have a membership there, right?” Eun Joo asked . Sung Joon nodded his head .

“Of course . ”

“Hehe . Thank you . ”

Eun Joo laughed bashfully . She felt great, since she could attack the dungeon together with Sung Joon .

“Since it seems like we’ve also finished our meals… Shall we get up?”

“It’s disappointing to separate like this… Shall we have a drink? The bar here is pretty good . ”

“A drink?”

“Yes . ”

Sung Joon briefly pondered her offer . And when he thought about it, he hadn’t even had a sip of alcohol because he had been so busy .

He didn’t have the money back then and lately, he didn’t have the mentality to spare .

“My lord, you loved alcohol . It’s not great to drink heavily, but it wouldn’t matter if it’s just recreational,” Rishubalt said .

Other people couldn’t hear his voice, but his voice was certainly relayed to Sung Joon .

Sung Joon wordlessly nodded, nodding so slightly that other people wouldn’t notice . Eun Joo was beside him, so even if he responded with a soft voice, he might be treated like he was crazy .

“Are you buying, Ms . Choi Eun Joo?” Sung Joon asked, laughing slyly .

He had just bought a meal that cost thousands of dollars, so she could at least pay for the drinks .

The bar would probably be expensive, but if he attacked the S-rank dungeon as she suggested, the reward he’d receive from that would be much higher, so it wouldn’t matter .

However, contrary to Sung Joon’s expectations, she took out a gold card from her cute wallet and smiled with her eyes .

“Today’s an anniversary, so I’ll buy . ”

“An anniversary?” Sung Joon asked .

“It’s a thing like that,” Eun Joo said, smiling peculiarly, and led Sung Joon to the hotel’s bar .

The Ridis Hotel’s bar boasted a fittingly luxurious interior and was filled with expensive-looking liquor .

The two sat in their seats and Eun Joo expertly ordered for them . The liquor and snacks came out, and the two made small talk, beginning to enjoy the drinks and the snacks .

‘It tastes good…’

It may have been because it was expensive liquor but it was different when he swallowed it . He hadn’t had spare time, so he couldn’t enjoy alcohol, but when he had drunk on occasion, he drank soju, so it was a new taste for him .

“This place is pretty good, right?” Eun Joo asked .

Sung Joon couldn’t help but nod . They filled his glass without pause and the pause and the moment he started to feel intoxicated…

“Mr . Kang Sung Joon?”

He turned his head in the direction of the familiar voice and there stood Seol Ah wearing a suit . She looked surprised at the unexpected meeting .

“Who are you?”

Eun Joo’s eyes filled with various emotions and shook confusingly . Sung Joon opened his mouth with a calm expression .

“She’s someone I know,” he responded calmly, before turning his gaze towards Seol Ah .

“Ms . Yoon Seol Ah? Why are you here?”

“I just… I came just because,” Seol Ah replied, trying hard to hide her awkward smile .

She tried her best to hide it, but it seemed like something bad had happened to her, as her dark expression remained .

“I see . Please enjoy yourself . ”

If she had been a close friend, he might’ve offered for her to join him, but since he didn’t have that kind of relationship with Seol Ah, he turned his head away immediately .

“Ah…”

Seol Ah’s voice was filled with disappointment . She was surprised herself when she realized that fact .

‘Why… Why am I…’

She kept turning her gaze towards Eun Joo . Eun Joo seemed to have also figured out the truth, as she looked at Sung Joon meaningfully .

When Seol Ah saw that, she couldn’t just leave . She didn’t know the reason, but it bothered her .

“May I join you?” Seol Ah asked .

Sung Joon turned his gaze towards Eun Joo . Rather than respond, Eun Joo smiled faintly and nodded her head .

“It seems like you can join us,” Sung Joon said, relaying Eun Joo’s intent for her .

“Thank you,” Seol Ah said .

Seol Ah sat beside Sung Joon . Seeing that, Eun Joo’s eyes widened and she opened her mouth .

“P-Please sit over here!” she stuttered .

Seol Ah smirked .

“That’s alright . This seat is comfortable . ”

As Seol Ah said that, she drew a little closer to Sung Joon, and Eun Joo bit her lip lightly . In order to pacify her anger, she gulped her drink down in one go .

“Please drink slowly,” Seol Ah said .

It was a light provocation, but Eun Joo let it pass, beginning to drink without stopping . Seol Ah accepted the challenge, continuously gulping down drinks .

Sung Joon had left briefly, but when he came back, it was too late .

Seol Ah and Eun Joo had lost consciousness and were speaking irregularly, to which he didn’t know the meaning . Seeing that, Sung Joon sighed lightly and had no choice but to book a room .
