Kang Yoo-sik, who left the club after leaving Ban Kyeong-hoon behind, drove off the road in Lee Hyun-chang’s sports car. 

Kang Yoo-sik, who solved the problem wonderfully after a long time, looked refreshed while Lee Hyun-chang, who was driving the car, looked troubled. 

‘Oh, my God. How did I..….’

Killing people itself didn’t matter, because Lee had been an experienced murder in the past when he was at the bottom of the Hunter world.

However, it was very worrisome that he, a teacher of the Sungjin Military Academy, committed such a thing under the order of his student. 

How should he say this to Kang? When Hyun-chang was reading Kang Yoo Sik’s face. 

“Don’t worry.” 

Kang Yoo-sik, who was looking out the window, spoke calmly.

“Ban Ki-chan is going to be a total wreck because of mana exhaustion, and Ban Kyeong-hoon will settle the rest so there will be no problem.” 

Today’s incident had been set as a case where a subordinate, who was about to be a B-level hunter, attacked under the request of someone, and the accident occurred while two brothers and guilders resisted.

Of course, this scenario was possible when Ban Kyeong-hoon cooperated, but Kang Yoo-sik was confident about him.

Because it was impossible for Ban Kyeong-hoon, whose debt rating went up to A-level, to resist Kang Yoo-sik.

‘Like someone.’

Lee Hyun-chang, who got goosebumps as Kang Yoo-sik looked at him with a smile, immediately turned his head and changed the topic. 

“Well, I’m glad to hear that, but……but don’t call me for such a case from now on.” 

“I’m not brave enough to do this thing many times, either.” 

“I think you are brave enough, but…….”

“What?” 

“Oh, nothing.” 

Lee Hyun-chang flinched at Kang’s keen glance and focused on driving. Kang Yoo-sik, who saw the scene, looked displeased. 

‘As soon as his debt felt into B-level, he tries to challenge.’ 

The debt rating has dropped from A-level to B-level because of the forced pull on this job, but it seemed that his responsibility had become a bit light.

Kang Yoo-sik, who was thinking about how to tighten it again, came up with a nice idea. 

“Oh, I have one more favor to ask you.” 

“……what?”

“I’m trying to invest 500 million won in another place, but if I do it in my name, I’m afraid I’ll have a problem with my tuition exemption. Could you do it for me?” 

“You invest?” 

“Yes, I’ve heard some good news.”

Lee Hyun-chang had a tempting expression on Kang Yoo-sik’s story. 

Other people might think Kang might hear some fake news, but Lee knew what Kang Yoo-sik told was different. 

“……where should I invest?” 

“It’s a company called Myeong-jang. Something is going on soon.” 

Accurately, the company would succeed in mass production of the world’s first defense zone with a mana barrier function at a technology exhibition in June, two months later.

Since it was the function of only equipment acquired from Dungeon, there would be a big sensation, and Myeongjang, which was a small or medium-sized company, became one of the world’s leading equipment companies. 

‘They were doing exaggerated advertisement, but they weren’t that bad.’ 

Kang Yoo-sik reminded the armor that had been shattered before his return, and the items made by the most outstanding craftsman from Myeongjang company. Kang glanced at Lee Hyun-chang.

“Please invest all 500 million won. It’s a piece of hard information, so if you want to make money, you invest, too.” 

“I, I don’t do that.” 

Lee Hyun-chang, who cleared the tempting expression, answered firmly, and Kang Yoo-sik smiled at the expression. 

“That’s it.”

***

Ban Kyeong-hoon settled the case and it was quietly swept inside the Black Snake guild.

The eldest son, who was not a normal guild member but was to be the next guild leader, was attacked and became an unconscious person. 

This was an incident that would deal a heavy blow to the reputation of the Black Snake Guild, and the guild leader decided to save the guild over his eldest son, who was almost dead.

“From today you are the heir to the Black Snake Guild. You must be stronger than now, even for your brother’s revenge!”

“I will find them and pay them back!!”

Ban Kyeong-hoon, who had to watch his brother helplessly, cried and captivated his father’s heart. 

In the meantime, Ban Kyeong-hoon’s brain has been working well enough to target the position of a guild leader, although he had been under pressure for a long time. 

As a result, Ban returned to school as a full-fledged successor from his family’s neglected position.

“Your necklace looks good?” 

Kang Yoo-sik called Ban and took money from him. 

“Hey, Ban Kyeong-hoon has been promoted. Life is one shot, isn’t it?” 

Kang Yoo-sik was smiling with his shoulder around him and Kim Jin-hyuk was standing next to him in a sloppy manner. 

Ban Kyeong-hoon replied, sweating a lot, at the sight of the two.

“Isn’t it good…….” 

“Not what, dude. It’s a Nebello necklace of level B. It has a mana barrier with resistance attribute.” 

“…….”

Ban Kyeong-hoon rolled his eyes. Kang Yoo-sik stuck his thumb and middle finger in front of him. 

“Heehee……”

Kang Yoo-sik smiled when Ban Kyeong-hoon shuddered at the scene because Kang was about to bounce his finger. 

“Take off your necklace before I borrow your ring.” 

“Yes, yes…….” 

Ban Kyeong-hoon quickly took off Nebello’s necklace, and Kang Yoo-sik, who was handed it over, grinned, lowered his hand, and patted his shoulder. 

“I’ll use it for a while and return it to you later. You know I keep my words, right?”

“Oh, I know…….” 

“Okay, go ahead. Enjoy your lunch.” 

After Kang Yoo-sik patted his back, Ban Kyeong-hoon stumbled out of the alley, and Kim Jin-hyuk, who was watching it, looked worried. 

“Is it Okay? Isn’t he going to tell on to the teacher?”

Kim Jin-hyuk, who was worried that Kang might be caught, not blaming him for taking money from others. Kang Yoo-sik patted his shoulder with a look of satisfaction as he looked completely different from the time before his return. 

“I didn’t steal it, I just borrowed it. He will not say anything because it is a well-earned punishment.” 

“Then, I am relieved…….” 

“And he needs some direct punishment to wake up.”

Of course, the real intention was to break the spirit of Ban Kyeong-hoon, who has become a little more confident with the support of his family, but the results were similar, so there was no difference. 

“Come on. Let’s go eat.” 

Pushing Kim Jin-hyuk’s back, Kang Yoo-sik headed to the school cafeteria, each choosing a menu and sitting in an empty seat.

Kang Yoo-sik chose Korean noodles, kimbap, and Kim Jin-hyuk took Japanese curry, but this time, the rice was piling up of three portions, not double ones.

“……How come you’re eating more and more?”

“Hmm. Maybe I’ve trained a lot, so I can eat all.” 

Kim Jin-hyuk, who answered casually, began to scoop up rice at a rapid pace, and Kang Yoo-sik, who was looking at him, touched his chin.

It could be one of the two reasons when the amount of food he took was increasing rapidly.

Either the stats were in a period of rapid growth or were about to awaken a great skill. 

‘Now that you’ve been learning the leader skill, maybe it’s both.’

By the way, natural talent could not be hidden when Kang Yoo-sik was eating by clicking his tongue. 

Beep!

The sound of a notification rang. Kang Yoo-sik, with a mysterious look on his face, immediately took out his cell phone and read it. 

[Namgoong Ryun: If you’ve finished your lunch, come to the lab alone.]

He looked surprised at the unexpected text. 

‘Come alone?’

Why was Namgoong Ryun calling him alone? Kang Yoo-sik texted him to check if he sent it wrong. 

[Namgoong Ryun: Kang Yoo-sik, I sent it to you, so come alone.]

A confirming message arrived.

‘What’s going on?’ 

What happened to him? Because he used to stare at Kang every class. He just called Kang to his lab alone.

Kang Yoo-sik, who had been pondering for a while, shrugged his shoulders and put his cell phone back in. 

He would find out when he got there. 

Namgoong would stab him just because he doesn’t like Kang?

Having organized his thought, Kang Yoo-sik finished his lunch and took off Kim Jin-hyuk before heading to Namgoong Ryun’s lab at the main building of the Gold Class. 

Knock, knock

“……come in.” 

Kang opened the door listening to Namgoong’s reluctant voice, and he could see the face of Namgoong Ryun, who had no intention of welcoming him.

At that familiar appearance, Kang Yoo-sik went inside without even blinking his eyes. 

“What did you call me for?”

“…….”

When asked by Kang Yoo-sik, Namgoong Ryun looked at him with an unsavory look and pointed to the chair opposite him. 

“Sit down for now.”

A neat chair with no papers piled up unlike usual. At the unusual treatment, Kang Yoo-sik sat down with a strange look on his face. 

Looking at Kang Yoo-sik for a while, Namgoong Ryun thought hard about something and slowly began to talk. 

“Mask. Which level have you reached?” 

“Oh, the mask? I finished level 4 yesterday, and now I’m practicing level 5.” 

“……level 5?”

“Yes, I’ve got a hunch.” 

To be exact, thanks to the stamina stats collected from Ban Ki-chan, his body’s strength and stamina had increased, and he mastered levels 3 and 4. 

‘Level 5 becomes very difficult suddenly, but… well, in three weeks, I will reach level 6.’

Kang had been doing it for decades, and he thought it would be possible. Kang Yoo-sik didn’t think it was that serious. 

‘You……crazy nut…….’

With the story of Kang Yoo-sik, who was challenging level 5, technically level 7, Namgoong Ryun lost his mind. 

At level 6, the suppression rate of breathing and mana was 60%. Even in this state, it was never easy to use mana arrangement skill. 

‘But it is possible up to that level if you practice.’

No matter how long it took, an area that anyone could reach if they had practiced for a long time. That was level 6.

But level 7 was different from the moment the suppression rate exceeded 70 percent and approached the ‘limit point’. 

Even for the extraordinary geniuses, called heroes, level 7 was divided into possible and impossible to master. 

‘But you’re practicing it in a week?’ 

The one with the worst potential in his class? Namgoong couldn’t accept it.

“Bring it and give it a try.” 

“You doubt everything…….” 

“Hurry up!”

“Okay. Okay. It is deafening.” 

Kang Yoo-sik, who muttered in discontent, took out the mask he had prepared for class and put it on straight away and raised it to level 5 (7).

The tightness of the breath and the restless mana within the body. In its helplessness, Kang Yoo-sik moved the mana step by step and began to arrange the mana. 

Woong- 

Although the arrangement has not been straightened due to the unfamiliarity, the will of Kang moves the mana. 

It was ridiculous that it was possible in level 7, and Namgoong Ryun stared blankly at him, unable to hide his feeling.

The demonstration lasted for about a minute. Kang Yoo-sik immediately took off his mask and exhaled. 

“Oh! I’m dying……. Is it confirmed now?”

“Ah! Yes, yes. That’s enough.” 

Namgoong Ryun, who came to his senses belatedly, nodded and soon looked at Kang Yoo-sik. Namgoong was lost in thought. 

Kang Yoo-sik, who was watching the strange scene, finally figured out why Namgoong Ryun called him to do this.

‘This…… looks like he is going to give me something.’ 

Whatever the potential of being a leader, the growth he showed was certainly amazing. 

Since it usually took about a month to reach level 4, he must be a huge record to master it in less than a week. 

Therefore, Namgoong must be worried about something he should have taken care of, but he must be worried about it because it’s not an easy thing.

‘I’ve only got level 4 and he is stingy…….’

Kang Yoo-sik, who had no idea that he had succeeded in level 6 and was practicing level 7, clicked his tongue at Namgoong Ryun. 

“……Kang Yoo-sik.”

After agonizing for 10 minutes, Namgoong Ryun slowly talked. 

Kang couldn’t find any trace of worrying on the face of Namgoong, but his eyes were not shaking. He might make a big decision. Kang Yoo-sik made a mysterious face. 

“From today, take the class in Group 1.” 

Finally, Kang was among the best elites taught by Namgoong Ryun.
