Chapter 70 – Awakening Test
“Yes, please talk about personal matters after the meeting. Almighty Priest.”
“I see.”
The chancellor gave a simple warning to the almighty priest who cut off the flow.
The meeting of the Imperial Guild was not that formal.
Everyone sits in a comfortable position and observes the meeting.
“But if you reached the highest level in 9 months, wouldn’t that be a warrior level?”
‘Changwang’, who had been yawning with his legs wide apart and doing other things throughout the meeting, showed interest.
A long spear slung over his shoulder.
He was ready to fight anytime, anywhere.
“Yuna, who was doing well recently, took a year to reach the highest level.”
“It’s strange that the two of you have a party, right?”
“Shin Na-yeon’s alumni.”
I chatted with the King of Kwon next to me.
Local broadcasting turned on in the middle of the meeting.
Almighty Priest took part instead of stopping the broadcast.
“Although I am an alumni, I am not very close with them. Please don’t think we know each other well.”
The interest of the King Chang and King Kwon frowned as if they were displeased.
“And please don’t call me Shin Na-yeon. Call me Charlotte, Charlotte.”
“Oh yeah.”
“Yes.”
King Chang and King Kwon answered Shin Na-yeon’s point in a half-hearted manner.
She pointed out that they should be called Charlotte, but no one listened.
Because the name Nayeon Shin sticks in your mouth.
After the commotion was roughly settled, the chancellor opened his mouth again.
“Chunun Hunter says he doesn’t have a guild yet. After a week, I heard that I will undergo an awakening test and become an official S-class hunter. He’s a very talented and promising hunter, so don’t you think someone will step up and encourage you to join the guild?”
“What are the characteristics of that Hunter?”
“It’s an all-master.”
“Five.”
Everyone nodded at the characteristic of being an all-master.
It was an arrogant attribute name for mastering all occupations, but most of the hunters here had morale attributes comparable to that.
I welcomed the plausible characteristics.
“I’ll try, invitation to join.”
Changwang raised his hand and stepped out.
There seemed to be a sense of triumph.
“Nope. I’ll take a look.”
The almighty priest also raised his hand.
Contrary to the previous words that they were not close friends, it was an active attitude.
“Charlotte. Didn’t you say you weren’t close?”
The ‘saint’ opened her mouth softly.
The top seat across from the ‘Hero’.
Although her demeanor was mild, everyone focused on her words.
‘Saint’ and ‘Hero’ were the two major mountains representing the current Imperial Guild.
As long as the ’emperor’ didn’t show up well in public, the two people actually led the imperial guild.
“Still, since I’m an alumni, it would be better than having this person go to ask me to join.”
Shin Na-yeon let go of Changwang.
“Yes. I also prefer Charlotte-nim to invite me to join the guild rather than the spear king. Also, since Charlotte-sama is close to Lee Yu-na, can I ask her about my personal business?”
“Personal business?”
“I wonder if Lee Yu-na’s wounds are okay. When I saw it, it was impossible to recover, but I want to know how it got better.”
I could understand why the saintess suddenly spoke out.
The curse of the rift in China could not be solved even by the saintess who is currently ranked 7th.
An incident in which the best healer in Korea blew his pride.
It was a great shock to Lee Yu-na that she was fine.
“I see what you mean. I will also find out why Lee Yu-na is fine.”
Shin Na-yeon nodded her head.
As long as her saintess agreed, she, an all-round priest, would be the one to invite her to join the guild.
The hero is on the quiet side, and when the saintess speaks, everyone follows.
“Then, ask the Almighty Priest.”
The chancellor summarized this topic.
King Chang was sorry that his opinion was ignored, but he relaxed his posture by leaning back on his chair.
Originally, the window king was not sent out in the invitation to join the guild.
Looking at other S-class hunters, she had never entrusted scouting.
“Anyway, the significance of this incident is that even Neverland, one of Korea’s representative safe zones, has cracked. Now, the boundaries of the safety zone are becoming meaningless. Now is the time for the proud Imperial Guild members to put in more effort.”
The Prime Minister awakened the sense of responsibility in the people in the meeting room with a solemn tone.
Indeed, they were the representative hunters protecting Korea.
“Ah, Neverland is destroyed. I was going to go play once in the spring.”
“Where? Look at the picture.”
“Wow, it’s completely ruined.”
There was still no tension in the conference room of the Imperial Guild.
The agenda flowed like water.

After a week,
It was the day of the awakening test appointment.
I put on a juseom juseom suit and refined my style.
Since all of the hunter’s profiles are updated when he becomes S-class, the hunter’s registration card photo will also be changed.
It will be a photo that I will be using throughout the future, so I need to pay special attention to taking it.
Looking in the mirror in the bathroom, I folded my collar and buttoned my sleeves.
With a well-developed body and a thick suit, he became manly and handsome.
“Wow…”
Lee Yu-na watched from her side and smirked.
“It’s like this.”
If her hair was disheveled or her coat was folded, she would reach out her hand to tidy it up and intervene from the side.
“What are you doing, it’s itchy.”
Every time Lee Yu-na’s fingers touched her skin, I blinked.
It felt like I was getting more sensitive when I touched it gently.
The reason why I am smiling broadly whether I am uncomfortable or not.
It seemed like he had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Well, she was interested in awakening.
She was especially sensitive to my awakening test.
When the set date arrived, I checked my style as if I was determined.
Anyone who sees you will know that you are taking wedding photos.
She is wearing a pure white dress.
It was a costume that gave me more strength than usual.
“Yuna, why are you dressed like this? It’s not even an awakening test today.”
I asked her when she came out with her beautiful makeup on.
“It’s your awakening test day. I will be by your side to support you.”
That was just the reason.
Why is Lee Yu-na dressed up like this?
Tell me to cheer up
I laughed out loud.
Since she is an S-class hunter, she will of course be registered as an S-class, but she pays special attention to it.
Is that day in high school particularly painful?
A look of nervousness was also visible on his face.
I must definitely show the level.
I’m an S-class hunter, and it’s true that I’m awakened.
So you don’t have to worry
The old memories had to be completely erased.
After getting ready, I got into the car.
She headed to the Central Awakening Center in Seoul with Iyuna.
The largest awakening center in Korea.
The awakening test for S-class hunters took place here.
The front of the Awakening Center was crowded with people.
There were people who simply came to get their Hunter grades regularly measured, and there were also Hunters who challenged themselves to get new grades.
Acquaintances who came to cheer, and sales teams waiting to scout talented hunters.
Reporters looking for news.
The purpose was varied.
After parking the car in the parking lot outside the building, we headed towards the entrance.
A few people in the crowd saw me and approached me.
Is Lee Yu-na’s outfit too conspicuous?
I wanted to take the awakening test quietly, but it was noisy from the start.
“Aren’t you the hero of Neverland, Cheonwoon?”
“Is it true that you are an S-class Hunter?”
Reporters came and held their microphones.
Where did the information flow.
A lot of people knew I was doing an arousal test today.
“The results will come out after the awakening test whether it is an S-class hunter or not.”
I gave a definitive answer.
“You said you learned qigong, is that true?”
An old man with a shabby expression approached.
The momentum was so great that the people around them left their seats.
What, all of a sudden
This man who seems to be good at tai chi.
Long hair, beard, and uniform.
He was a shabby old man who would have looked like a natural person if it weren’t for his strong magic.

“They came from the Yulcheon Guild.”
“Yulcheon Guild?”
I was surprised to hear the name.
It was not the three super-large guilds corresponding to the guild rankings 1st place Empire, 2nd place Hyeonmu, and 3rd place Wizard Union, but Yulcheon Guild was also a prestigious guild that ranked in the top 10.
Especially because I am more surprised.
This place specializes in qigong techniques.
People who really love martial arts.
In this age where the two letters ‘mu’ and ‘hyeop’ have become a vulgar joke, people are immersed in enlightenment without forgetting the romance of the old days.
If my technique was just a gimmick to hide milking, then these were real.
They were real qigong people.
No matter how bold I was, when I faced the uncle’s sincere courtesy, I remembered the lies I had been telling me, and my back was dripping with sweat.
“Wow, aren’t they the ones who wrote [The Standard of Qigong]?”
Lee Yu-na asked from the side.
Yulcheon Guild’s representative work is the skill book [The Standard of Qigong]
These were the authors of the book I had been memorizing for five years.
“I did participate in the writing, too.”
“What’s your name?”
“I use Gonja and Cheongja. They say my name is Hagongcheong.”
If it’s Haengcheong, it’s 75th in the Hunter Ranking.
He was the third person in the Yulcheon Guild.
Uncle, why are you here?
I became embarrassed like a fake facing the real thing.
“I will ask again. What kind of qigong techniques have you realized? Cheonjiin, Six Harmonies, Bagua, Yin-Yang and the Five Elements, Taegeuk, Chilseong, Gugung… I was curious about that, so I came all the way here.”
He asked with his eyes shining.
I answered inwardly.
‘[Milk].’
Even if you look back a hundred times, this is a kind of qigong that is hard to belong to.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you. I don’t think it would be rude to tell people about it because I’m still lacking in practice.”
“Oh hey, this guy. Humble, will this old man fret?”
When I answered politely, the uncle liked it even more.
But what should I do? My qigong is really just a gimmick.
I’m not being humble, I really don’t know.
As I was eagerly searching for an excuse for my embarrassment, another person intervened.
This Hunter is also quite powerful.
He showed off a similar presence to Hagoncheong.
“Oh hey, Mr. Hagoncheong. Isn’t that young man in trouble? I politely decline, but you look at me like that. It’s not worth the age.”
A thin, lanky-looking man came out.
Unlike Haengcheong, it had a worldly appearance equipped with all kinds of luxury goods.
“My name is Choi Tae-hyun of the Geumyeong Guild. Cheonwoon-nim, nice to meet you.”
“Hello.”
A light formal greeting.
It was a mean-looking impression, but it was more comfortable than dealing with an old man.
Because I’m not a mechanic.
“Are you interested in making money? We are Korea’s largest merchant association. Fortunately, there is a lot of work and a lack of S-class hunters, so I’ve been waiting for Cheonun-nim here. If you work with us, the reward is…”
“Go!”
As Choi Tae-hyeon was advertising to me, Ha-gon-cheong shouted from the side.
A voice that contains inner strength.
Taehyung Choi shut his mouth.
“Where is the dirty peddler! Are you interfering in the conversation of the holy Taoists and making fun of your sly mouth!”
“Ah, this old man. What kind of idiot is that? If it’s money, they’ll change money.”
“Do you think I don’t know your filthy insides? Wasn’t it an ulterior motive to lure an inexperienced young S-class hunter into a slave contract?”
“A slave contract? Are we crazy? With what courage do you have the courage to enter into a slave contract against an S-class hunter? Isn’t that what you’re trying to do to flirt with a young man by dazzling him with outdated theories about qigong techniques? Aren’t you tired of the patterns you do every day?”
Fortunately, we were busy fighting each other.
My voice rose, and I gradually lost my mind.
Yulcheon Guild and Geumyeong Guild seem to have a bad relationship.
A swordsman and a merchant. Uncomfortable with each other
Thanks to that, I entered the Awakening Center comfortably.
