Chapter 912 – 912. Hawaii
I had a great time with Ha Seunghee and entered the lecture hall in a refreshed mood. Oh Junhyuk was already there, but unlike me, he was sitting in his seat with a gloomy face.
“Junhyuk, why are you so down?”
It was obvious. He must have realized that hitting on the freshmen wouldn’t work.
“These days, the freshmen are so bold… They don’t hesitate to say things that hit you right in the bone…”
“Because they’re in the Hunter Department.”
If they were ordinary university freshmen, they would be mindful of their seniors. But the Hunter Department was different. They respected their seniors, but they didn’t excessively watch their every move.
“But you look happy? What were you doing?”
“I was just having some fun.”
Just as I was about to sit down, my smartphone vibrated.
“Who is it, a girl?”
“It’s Professor Park calling. I’ll be right back.”
I left the lecture hall and entered Professor Park’s office.
Professor Park wasn’t alone. He was talking to a man in a suit. The man stood up as soon as he saw me.
He was in his early 30s. He had a neat, parted hairstyle and a well-defined face. He looked like an office worker, but I could sense the aura emanating from him. He was definitely not an ordinary person. He was a Hunter.
“Nice to meet you, Hunter Sung Yoojin. I’m Park Ohjong from the Seikull Guild.”
“Yes, I’m Sung Yoojin.”
I shook his hand.
The Seikull Guild.
It was one of the top 10 guilds in Korea, ranked 4th. Of course, that was an unofficial ranking made by people who liked to rank things.
“I came to see Professor Park… but it’s my lucky day to meet Hunter Sung Yoojin. What a coincidence.”
It wouldn’t be a coincidence. He must have come after receiving a tip from someone else.
“Professor Park, you called me because…”
“You’re a senior now, and you’ll be graduating next year. You need to prepare for the future. Hunter Park Ohjong is an executive at the Seikull Guild, and he’s interested in you, so I called you to have a chat.”
I was a little annoyed, but I didn’t show it. I knew that Professor Park was saying this for my sake. The top 10 guilds in Korea were like the top conglomerates in the country. He was introducing me, who hadn’t even graduated yet, to a major corporation.
‘If I were an ordinary Hunter, I would be so grateful that I would bow down to him, but that’s not me.’
I sat down in front of him as Professor Park led me.
“Hunter Sung Yoojin, are you currently affiliated with any guild, or have you decided to join one?”
“No, I haven’t.”
“Ah… that’s fortunate. Then, would you like to join our Seikull Guild? With your abilities, Hunter Sung Yoojin, we can accept you right away, even before you graduate. You’ll start in the second team, but I promise to promote you to the first team once you gain experience.”
Park Ohjong was very eloquent. He spoke non-stop. It was clear that he had prepared in advance.
An annual salary of 30 billion won. Free use of the guild’s exclusive training facilities. Training support. Guaranteed exclusive equipment. In addition to that, consumables, housing, and so on.
It was a lot to offer a rookie. Even executives of well-known global conglomerates wouldn’t receive this much.
‘I have no intention of joining a guild… but listening to this makes me feel good.’
The reason why the Seikull Guild was guaranteeing me this much support was obvious. I had become a B-rank Hunter in just two years since becoming a Hunter, making me one of the most promising talents in Korea. Due to my rapid growth, there was talk that I might become an S-rank Hunter in the future. In other words, the Seikull Guild had determined that I would become an S-rank Hunter in the future.
“I’m sorry.”
“…May I ask why you are declining?”
Park Ohjong’s face hardened. He had made an amazing offer, but I had rejected it without hesitation, so it was understandable.
I couldn’t say that I was rejecting him because it was annoying. Even if I said that, he wouldn’t understand and would keep pestering me.
“Actually, it’s not confirmed yet, but I’ve been in talks with other guilds.”
“……Other guilds, you say?”
“The Suwol Guild and the Jaun Guild.”
Both were giant guilds that belonged to the top 10 guilds in Korea.
Suwol was the 2nd-ranked guild where Han Ahyeong belonged, and Jaun was the 6th-ranked guild where Jin Seyoung and Jin Woosung of the Yeongcheon Sword School belonged.
“What kind of talks are you having…”
“I’m sorry, I can’t tell you.”
“Hoo. I understand. It seems we were too late. But Hunter Sung Yoojin, the doors of our Seikull are always open to you. If your mind changes, please come and find us anytime. Ah, here’s my business card.”
Park Ohjong handed me his business card with a business smile. I took it for now. I wouldn’t be the one to contact this man first.
After Park Ohjong left, Professor Park sat across from me.
“You were in talks with Suwol and Jaun? It seems I did something unnecessary.”
“No, it’s okay. I’m satisfied just by making a small connection with the Seikull Guild this time.”
I spoke plausibly. After experiencing various things in the game world, I had become better at speaking in a way that made me look good.
“That’s a good mindset. The Hunter world is all about connections. The more people you know, the more helpful it will be.”
“Yes, I’m trying to build as many connections as possible.”
I smiled. I was confident that I had already built a lot of connections.
S-rank Hunter candidate Han Ahyeong.
A-rank Hunter and executive of the Association, Baek Jieun.
The third-generation chaebol of Sejin Group, Ha Seunghee.
The head of the Yeongcheon Sword School, Jin Woosung.
My connections were already solid.
***
I got on a plane to Hawaii with Han Ahyeong and Han Harin. We took a car that was waiting for us at the airport and moved to our accommodation. The weather in Hawaii was bright and sunny.
How did I end up in Hawaii?
It all started with Han Ahyeong.
Although she was an S-rank candidate, Han Ahyeong, who had not yet reached the level of an S-rank, received support from the government beyond the guild. The existence of an S-rank Hunter greatly boosted the nation’s power, so the government actively supported Han Ahyeong.
What does that have to do with Hawaii?
In Hawaii, there was a famous A-rank dungeon called the ‘Vortex of Heroes’. This dungeon was well-known as a training dungeon. Hunters who entered this dungeon achieved small and large growth and came out. To enter this place, you had to get permission from the United States and pay a huge fee.
Han Ahyeong was able to enter this Vortex of Heroes dungeon for free with the support of the Korean government. Not only that, but I and Han Harin were also able to go with her.
‘Usually, they don’t allow companions to enter… It also means that the Korean government is very mindful of Han Ahyeong.’
Han Harin was my younger sister, so that was one thing, but it was quite unexpected that they allowed me to go as well.
‘Are they thinking of investing in me this time?’
I glanced around.
It wasn’t just Han Ahyeong, Han Harin, and I who came to Hawaii. There were also employees of the Korean Association and government officials. In addition, Jang Gojoon, an A-rank Hunter who was a colleague of Han Ahyeong from the same guild, was also there. Somehow, Jang Gojoon also ended up entering the dungeon with us.
The accommodation was a pension. The Hawaiian sea was in front of the mansion. If you stood in the yard, you could smell the salty scent of the sea.
“You can enter the Vortex of Heroes dungeon from tomorrow afternoon, so please rest well today.”
The Association employee who came to guide us said and left.
We entered the pension and looked around the rooms. The refrigerator was full of fresh meat and vegetables.
“Let’s all gather first. Let’s divide the rooms.”
Jang Gojoon called us.
“There are many rooms, so I think we can each choose the room we like.”
I said.
“That’s right. Gojoon, as Yoojin said, we can each choose the room we want.”
Han Ahyeong said with a smile. She naturally grabbed my shoulder. Jang Gojoon looked uncomfortable, but no one paid attention to him.
“Okay. I can choose later, so you guys choose your rooms first.”
The first one to step forward was Han Harin. She pointed to the room at the end of the second floor without hesitation.
“I want that room.”
“Oh, Harin, I’m okay. What about Ahyeong and Yoojin?”
“It’s okay. I’ll take the room next to Harin’s.”
“I…”
I trailed off. There were four rooms on the second floor. Jang Gojoon would probably think that I would choose a room on the second floor.
“I’ll choose that room on the first floor. What about you, Gojoon hyung?”
I chose the room in front of me. If Jang Gojoon chose a room on the second floor here? It would be too obvious and would only make people frown. If he was a normal person with common sense, he would have no choice but to choose a room on the first floor.
“…I’ll choose that room.”
Jang Gojoon also chose a room on the first floor. Now that the room distribution was over, we each went to our chosen rooms, unpacked our luggage, changed into comfortable clothes, and came out of our rooms.
“Guys, why don’t we go out for dinner? We’re in Hawaii, after all. I heard that Loco Moco is so delicious, let’s try it. Since we’re in Hawaii, let’s take a walk too. It’ll definitely feel good.”
“Hmm, should we?”
Han Ahyeong agreed. Han Harin didn’t say anything, but she seemed interested in Hawaiian food.
“Hyung, I’m tired from the flight… I’ll just grill some meat at the pension. Hyung, you go eat Loco Moco.”
“……I’m tired too. I’ll stay inside.”
Han Harin said.
Jang Gojoon’s face brightened. It was obvious that he hadn’t completely given up on Han Ahyeong.
“If Harin says that, I’ll stay home too. Ah, Gojoon, you like going to restaurants and taking walks. Don’t worry about us and go.”
“Ah, no. How can I go alone and leave you guys behind? I’ll just stay here too.”
“Hey, no. You don’t have to worry about us. Go.”
“It’s okay…”
When Han Ahyeong pushed him, Jang Gojoon had no choice but to say that he would go. Before Jang Gojoon left, he looked at me with uneasy eyes. Judging by his appearance, he would definitely be back within an hour. Only the sisters and I were left in the large pension.
“Noonas, let’s go out to the yard and have a barbecue. There’s also a swimming pool… Did you bring your swimsuits?”
“I brought them. Do you want to see my swimsuit?”
“No, thanks. What swimming? Let’s just eat.”
“Harin sunbae… no, now that you’ve graduated from university, Harin noona. Can I look forward to seeing you in your swimsuit later?”
I got close to Han Harin in a friendly manner. I put my arm around her shoulder and brought my face closer.
“You, wait a minute… uh…”
Before Han Harin could get annoyed, I kissed her.
“What, what? Are you two having fun without me?”
Han Ahyeong hugged me from behind. The sisters’ huge breasts were pressing against me from the front and back. My dick was already erect and demanding attention.
***
Jang Gojoon looked at the map on his smartphone and found a nearby restaurant. He had even researched the best restaurants in Hawaii, but they were too far from the pension.
‘Let’s go back quickly.’
Jang Gojoon thought of Sung Yoojin, Han Harin, and Han Ahyeong who were left at the pension. Sung Yoojin was not dating Han Ahyeong. He had asked Han Ahyeong and confirmed it.
‘I saw them go to a motel last time… but it’s possible that they didn’t go to the motel for that purpose. Ahyeong said that they weren’t dating.’
If they weren’t dating, then he still had a chance. Not only Han Ahyeong, but Han Harin was also in the pension, so nothing would happen.
‘…But why am I so uneasy?’
He gave up on his favorite restaurants and walks and returned to the pension in 40 minutes.
They were having a barbecue in the yard. Han Ahyeong and Han Harin were sitting quietly at the table, and Sung Yoojin was cooking with tongs.
“Gojoon hyung, you’re back early?”
“…I ended up coming back early. Nothing happened, right?”
“What could happen while grilling meat? Hyung, let’s eat some meat too. Sit down.”
“I’ll help.”
“I’m almost done.”
Click, click. Sung Yoojin smiled brightly as he touched the tongs.
Jang Gojoon couldn’t resist Sung Yoojin’s words and sat down at the table. He was across from Han Ahyeong. Han Ahyeong had her arms crossed. Was it because of the hot weather? Or was it because of the beer glass on the table? Her face was flushed red.
“Gojoon, was the Loco Moco delicious?”
“Yeah, it was delicious. Ahyeong, you look a little restless.”
Drip, drip.
The sound of water droplets falling was heard. Jang Gojoon tilted his head. It was coming from below Han Ahyeong.
“I, I spilled some while drinking. Don’t worry about it.”
Han Ahyeong quickly started wiping the area below with a napkin on the table.
“Harin… why are you covering your mouth? Are you not feeling well?”
“……”
Han Harin was frowning deeply and covering her mouth with one hand. With the other hand, she was pressing down on her chest as if to cover it.
Gulp, gulp.
Her Adam’s apple moved. It seemed like she had swallowed something in her mouth. She wiped her lips with her hand and lowered it.
“I had alcohol in my mouth.”
“Alcohol in your mouth? Why?”
“It was a punishment. A punishment to keep it in my mouth for 10 minutes.”
“Is that a punishment these days?”
Sung Yoojin approached with a plate of meat.
“Here, here, hyung. Let’s eat some meat first.”
