Yoo Ee-Na, Kim So-Eun, and Jeong Gi-Hoon were in a C-rated gate.
Kim So-Eun was curious about sothing, so she turned to the older woman and asked, “Ee-Na, may I ask you sothing?”
“Go ahead.”
“What happens if an F-rated Hunter kills an SS-rated monster? I noticed that I’m growing rapidly by killing C and B-rated monsters.”
“That’s true.”
“Then how much can a person like grow by killing an SS-rated monster?”
Yoo Ee-Na thought for a bit before answering.
“First of all, F-rated Hunters cannot hunt SS-rated monsters. As you know, they won’t even be able to cause damage to it.”
“But what if they manage to hunt them down?”
Yoo Ee-Na thought of the possibility.
“Then that person will rapidly grow. That F-rated Hunter will imdiately beco B-rated, at least. However, that’s just my theory.”
When Lee Hwan had given them rlin’s gold coins, he said that they would beco one of the strongest people in the world. He told them to be ready.
With this in mind, Kim So-Eun summoned Excalibur. She would be the strongest. She would exceed Lee Hwan’s expectations and beco the strongest.
Yoo Ee-Na was also prepared to be stronger.
The two won charged towards the C-rated monsters.

With a loud bang, the bullet was shot from the gun’s barrel. Lee Hwan’s words were echoing inside Yoo-Jeong’s head.
‘Synchronize your mind and aura.’
That was easy to understand; she didn’t have to be a genius to know what he ant.
She was ready to step forward and grow stronger. Since she never had anyone that taught her properly, she was just repeating the sa unhelpful process over and over. But because of Hwan’s advice, she knew the next steps she had to take, and that made her progress rapidly.
Rahab was falling into the water. She could feel that her bullet had struck the monster and exploded inside it.
Yoo-Jeong realized that she had killed it. A D-rated Hunter had killed an SS-rated monster. Despite Hwan’s support, it was her who caught the opportunity and didn’t let her chance go.
As soon as she stood up, the system announcents started appearing.
[ The skills you have just learned are now combined. ]
[ You got unique skill ‘Magical Bullet.’ ]
[ Your title is now ‘Der Freischütz.’ ]
[ Your physical ability and aura are not balanced. ]
[ Skill ‘Sense of the Elegance’ is tuning your unbalance. ]
[ Every stat has exceeded A-rated. ]
[ First Transcendence is occurring now. ]
So many ssages appeared simultaneously from the system. With this, Yoo-Jeong closed her eyes and fell unconscious.
Soon, her body began changing its form. Her bones were breaking to reform the body so that she could beco stronger. She didn’t even notice that Lee Hwan was nearby.
Hwan approached her and smiled fondly.

I knew she could do it.
She was willing to grow and she had a desperation to beco stronger, and that was why she has been working so hard. She just needed a person who could teach her properly. I did just that, and she proved herself.
I observed her growth for a while. I was proud of her, but I had to do sothing to support her. I fixed her position so that she can undergo the process more efficiently. I also pressed her blood vessels down so her skin can be hardened.
Now, every piece of aura inside her is connected.
I didn’t expect her to undergo this process today. I would just explain it to her later; it definitely looked like she needed more ti.
I turned my head and looked at Rahab’s dead body, using my hand to cut its carcass in half. Inside the gaping body, I could see the blue heart of Rahab. It was not beating anymore, but it was an amazing sight nonetheless.
As a divine animal, this one lived for a long ti. Unlike the others, it was still alive when we entered this gate. The heart was like the life orb of the monster; that was how powerful it was. I had also cut Musmahhu’s dead body to check whether it still had one, but it had been revived from the dead, so it was already gone.
However, Rahab still had its heart, one of the best life orbs that I had ever seen.
Seeing it made curious. The other boss monsters did not have a heart like this, which ant that soone else had taken them already. At least, it was clear that the system could revive a monster that’s already dead. There was a possibility that Arthur took Musmahhu’s heart, but that didn’t seem right.
Whatever it was, it would eventually be solved.
What I had to do was focus on the present. We had just one more SS-rated gate to clear before Tiamat, the mother of all the other SS-rated gate boss monsters, appeared.
I was anticipating her arrival. I enjoyed fighting with stronger opponents and feeling the thrill of fighting with soone stronger.
I wonder what kind of monster she was.
What type of power did she have?
Could she use a black aura like ?
However strong that opponent was, I was still confident I could beat them.
I looked at the blue gem from Rahab again. Who should I give this to? The answer was fairly easy to conclude.
My brother.
I hadn’t really done much for him, so this would be an appropriate gift.
As Kim Yoo-Jeong rested, I took everything from Rahab. I packed the loot neatly and headed back to her, just in ti to see her wake up. She was clenching her fists repeatedly, but when she caught sight of , she smiled.
“What you said was correct.”
I wondered what she ant.
“I did say a lot of things, so specify it for .”
She ca closer. “You told that I have the talent to beco a wizard.”
“I did.”
“Now, I’ve beco like a wizard. I received a unique skill and title… And like you said, I can collect more aura. Most importantly…”
She paused for a bit and smiled, her eyes misty. “I’m A-rated now.”
I smiled and patted her shoulder.
“Congratulations. I know that you worked hard for that.”
She shook her head and looked into my eyes. “Thank you… Thank you again.”
“No worries. I always do my best for my people.”
As she was drying her tears, she spotted the object I was holding.
“What’s that?”
“It’s so sort of elixir from Rahab.”
“Isn’t that valuable?”
“Do you know anything about it?”
“Of course. After ingesting that, Hunters can grow rapidly.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, that’s why so people buy a lot of those and eat them.”
Usually, people were greedy. That greediness made them act in heinous ways that changed the world. Even before I returned to Earth, I had gotten objects that were similar in value to the blue gem of Rahab. Soone close to had wanted that as well. Despite already receiving a lot from , they still had no hesitations in going behind my back. I didn’t trust those types of people, so I wanted to test Yoo-Jeong’s response.
Would she show her greediness?
She then asked , “Is that for your brother?”
“That’s correct.”
She whispered the words to summon her inventory.
“Put it in here. I will keep it safe.”
“You’ll keep it for ?”
“Yes. You can’t use your inventory now.”
She was not greedy at all. All I could see from her was her gratitude. That emotion was true and clear. Yoo-Jeong would not beco greedy.
I smiled and passed the object to her. Without hesitation, she put it safely in her inventory.
“I don’t have the intention of taking this from you,” she added.
“Is that so?”
“I’ve already gotten a lot from you. How can I ever betray you?”
She was truly not like the others who had betrayed before.
“You don’t have to worry about betraying you. I’m not that kind of person.”
I suddenly realized how rude it was to project my past onto others. I was even about to think of her as soone who would betray . That was rude of .
“I tested you. I’m sorry.”
Yoo-Jeong shook her head. “No worries. If that earned so credibility, I’m fine with it.”
She then hugged tight and whispered.
“I have sothing to confess.”
“What is it?”
“My weight is not as light as I ntioned.”
I smiled. I knew that the number she had given was unrealistic.
“So, how much do you weigh, exactly?”
She whispered her honest answer.
Wow.
“How much have you deceived ? That’s quite…”
Before I could finish my sentence, Yoo-Jeong covered my mouth and whispered sothing.
“I heard that I would lose a relationship with soone if I do as my mind says.”
She looked up at and asked, “…Would that apply to you as well?”
I laughed. She certainly was a great woman.
“Not to .”
We then hugged each other. I kissed her as well.
The portal was ready for us, but I was not interested in going out just yet.
We were doing our best for now, and that made us beautiful.
Besides, I now had a person to trust.
