Chapter 65: Judgment of Fire (1) (2)
What’s with the metaphorical rap?
I’ll demolish this long speech in an instant.
I nodded vaguely and provided some support.
“I get it, I get it. Don’t be disappointed. You fought really well too. Among the warrior types I’ve met, you were one of the best by far.”
“Ugh… I’m not talking about myself…!”
She denied it to the end, blushing.
Losing doesn’t necessarily have to be embarrassing, but it seems the result of the duel with me was quite humiliating.
After the light morning incident was over.
I returned to Shin Yuna’s desk in the Hunting Team 5 office and was learning various things about the clan and the team.
The orientation called ‘Operation OT’ that she had been talking about since earlier.
It was a hellish OT that lasted for more than two hours.
” … This covers the basic clan rules and precautions when using the clan tower.”
“… It’s so much.”
No matter which orientation you attend, it’s probably the same…
Rules for the Holder class.
There were an unusually large number of clan precautions.
That’s how many etiquettes must be observed among Holders, and there were many things to be cautious about among clan members.
It wasn’t until I listened to the explanation for a while that the topic of the clan came to an end.
Shin Yuna nodded as if to assure me about my complaints.
“Don’t worry. We’re almost done. Now we just need to talk about the team members.”
“Okay, I’m ready. Go ahead.”
“Sure-“
Shin Yuna burst into laughter at my light joke.
She seemed tired after the lengthy explanations and handovers.
Even for such a small joke…
…Speaking of which, she’s pretty when she smiles.
Her red hair stands out so much, but Shin Yuna was undoubtedly a beauty who might have received numerous love confessions back in her Academy days.
“Our Hunting Team 5 consists of a total of 12 members. There are 2 clan members for each major class, and now with you and Holder Kang Juyeon joining, it’s become 14.”
“14 members? That much for a team?”
“Yeah. It’s divided into B and C grades. There’s one member for each class and grade.”
So, there are 2 members for each of the six major classes, divided further into B and C grades.
Shin Yuna is one of the C-grade members in the warrior-type.
Although it’s quite a number for a ‘team,’ when you consider the division by class and grade, it’s not that many members.
Anyway, they’re the core combat force of the <Judgment of Fire> clan.
I suddenly became curious and asked a question.
“So, when you go on missions, do you really separate like that? C-grade with C-grade, B-grade with B-grade?”
“No, not necessarily. Sometimes a B-grade clan member might join a C-grade party as a leader or for training purposes, and conversely, when a B-grade party is short on members, they might select from the C-grade.”
“Ah… so it’s not always six members per party.”
“Right. The minimum number for an ideal party is 5 members anyway.”
That’s good news for me.
If I join missions with only C-grade members, I could handle dungeon raids or field hunting slightly below my current level.josei
For someone like me who needs to accumulate as much experience as possible in two months, I prefer joining missions of moderate difficulty.
Shin Yuna searched the desk and took out a well-coated booklet and handed it to me.
“Now, look at this.”
“What’s this?”
“Do Jae-hyun, the names of the seniors in the 5th hunting team and the main Holders in the clan that you will have to memorize later. The team leader said there is a strategy meeting tomorrow, so you have to memorize it by tomorrow.”
“….”
Is it important?
I don’t know almost any of my academy classmates except for a few, but I have to memorize all of the <Judgment of Fire> clan members.
It’s like working in a company.
… Is it the same with clan life?
“Do I have to memorize everything?”
“Huh. I’ll ask you tomorrow morning. That is your mentor’s order, so you must… !!”
Those are your instructions as a mentor?
Until just now, she was worried about how she, a newcomer, would be a mentor.
I sighed and handed over the coating booklet.
Coming in as an intern…
Enter the dungeon right away! Field hunting outside the barrier!
… Was what I dreamed of.
As expected, the clan life was not easy.
It seemed that the theoretical and office work aspects had to be completed before being put into practice.
In fact, it was the same process no matter which group it was.
Shin Yuna suddenly clapped her hands and spoke.
“We’re done! Let’s go eat now.”
“Oh, lunchtime.”
I raised my head at the anticipated time.
After becoming proficient in [Cooking], I found it hard to stomach others’ food, but exploring new dishes and restaurants was always a delightful experience.
The <Judgment of Fire> clan’s cafeteria.
I need to confirm how delicious their food is.
Before I left the office with the unfamiliar team members, Shin Yuna and I were about to leave when someone suddenly stood in front of us with a loud noise.
Disheveled hair and a slightly anxious expression.
The same clothes as yesterday and the same elegant atmosphere.
… It was Kang Juyeon.
Where has she been until now?
Judging by her attire, it doesn’t seem like she overslept.
She took a deep breath.
And slowly spoke while looking at me.
“Let’s… have lunch together.”
“….”
Have lunch together?
Did she rush here just to say that?
