After the conquest of ended.

About a month has passed since then.

During that time, Korea, which had been chaotic due to various incidents, gradually regained stability, and the domestic Holder community also returned to its previously relatively peaceful and systematic state.

Holders began to leave for hunting in dungeons and fields again, and each clan continued to pursue their own interests through major operations or unexplored dungeon searches as before.

However, there was still a clan organizing the achievements from the conquest.

The clan.

Those who had recorded the most achievements and played the most crucial role in the conquest at that time... Began to take steps towards becoming a global clan by making their reputation known to the international Holder community as soon as the conquest ended.

-The soaring wingbeats of ! Reaches the top ranks in Korea just 3 months after establishment!

-, which joined as a mercenary clan, confirms merger with !

-Former master: “All clan members agreed... I think it will be a good opportunity.”

The first step was clan mergers.

By absorbing , which had joined as a subordinate mercenary clan during the allied forces, they recruited a large number of archer-type Holders and support Holders that had been lacking in the clan.

Additionally, merger discussions with the clan were ongoing, potentially allowing for the recruitment of warrior-type Holders as well.

If all these mergers are successful, it would result in the birth of a clan that wouldn’t be inferior in size to other large clans.

That’s not all.

“...The reason I want to join Evil Hunter is because I’ve long admired Holder Do Jae-hyun, the clan master! If given the chance, I absolutely want to join the clan and conquer various dungeons with Holder Do Jae-hyun!”

They also accelerated the recruitment of new clan members.

Since was established not long ago, they preferred constant special recruitment rather than official recruitment, but as their reputation soared through this conquest, all sorts of unaffiliated Holders applied to join.

From unaffiliated Holders who were well-known domestically, to famous Holders active in the United States and Japan, Holders leaving their affiliated clans to apply for .

Even student Holders who hadn’t yet graduated from the academy...

Due to the uniqueness of starting as a student clan in its early days and its reputation reaching the top ranks in Korea, all kinds of Holders applied indiscriminately.

As a result, Vice Master Yoo Eun-seol, who was in charge of the final interviews along with the HR team leader, had been experiencing stress every day lately.

“...Holder Yang Su-jin.”

“Yes!”

“You said you’ve long admired our clan master, but the master hasn’t even been active as a pro Holder for a year.”

“Ah, that’s right.”

“...Ah, that’s right?”

“Oh, I’m sorry! But my desire to lead the clan together with Holder Do Jae-hyun remains unchanged! If I could just meet him face to face even once....”

Most of the unaffiliated Holders coming for interviews were like this.

As Do Jae-hyun rose to become Korea’s top Holder (although there are still differing opinions on this), and also made its name known as an emerging large clan... Many Holders applied to join to ride on this popularity.

Especially like just now, the majority were female Holders who said during the interview that they ‘really want to be with Do Jae-hyun!’

Every time Yoo Eun-seol saw them, she felt angry for some reason.

...It wasn’t for any other reason, just that she didn’t like people coming to join the clan with such a frivolous attitude.

Really.

“Hello! I’m A-grade Holder Na Hye-rin, applying to Evil Hunter this time!”

Of course, there weren’t only chaff applicants.

Skilled individuals like Na Hye-rin, a mercenary Holder who participated in the conquest and the top resource in the unaffiliated Holder community, were also being recruited.

Anyway, the important thing was.

That was becoming a strong clan.

“It’s growing much faster than Jae-hyun thought.”

Yoo Eun-seol smiled as she thought of her disciple.

Do Jae-hyun.

This clan, which he had established himself while facing numerous prejudices, was now taking big strides towards the name of the best in the country.

The question marks that had been poured towards them in the early days...

Were now turning into exclamation marks that everyone was certain about.

At my voice, Moon Ga-eun immediately brightened her expression and linked arms with me.

“Hmph- Kang Juyeon, see you later. We’re not done talking yet.”

“...Idiot. I’m still not going to tell you no matter what.”

“Tch, this is really...”

...Did the mediation not work?

I scratched my head in dismay as I started walking.

The empty left arm, of course, was Moon Ga-eun’s share.

“There’s a lot to do, so much to do.”

All the complicated matters have ended, and the academy has reached its end of semester.

Even the clan, which was my biggest task, is now on track and slowly building up its reputation.

Now everything has truly entered a stable state.

But even so, my work still shows no sign of decreasing.

Now, I’m not just a student Holder, but the clan master of a large clan and the lover of three women.

The number of Holders I’m responsible for has increased, and there are many people I need to protect.

I’ll probably need to stay busy for at least another half year before there’s any leeway in my work?

It’s a bit excessive, but not to the point where I can’t handle it.

Moreover, since it’s work I enjoy doing, it doesn’t even feel that excessive.

“Still... I should work while doing what needs to be done.”

As soon as I arrived at my destination, I took out the equipment I had prepared in advance.

These aren’t my main equipment like divine swords or divine armor.

Leather armor made of ordinary materials and...

An iron sword made of ordinary metal.

These were the normal equipment I mainly used when I was once an F-grade Holder.

I couldn’t help but smile seeing that equipment with some memories attached.

And then.

“You’re here.”

A familiar voice coming from nearby.

My friend, who appeared wearing ordinary equipment just like me.

It was Park Jin-woo.

The place we gathered was the .

It was the place where Park Jin-woo and I first met and had a duel, and where everything at the academy began.

At that place filled with memories, I grinned as I looked at Park Jin-woo.

“No matter how busy... We should do what needs to be done, right?”

“Oh, of course.”

Park Jin-woo responds happily to my words.

Even after we both got busy, we always gathered like this to have a duel whenever the academy ended its semester.

It was like a kind of routine.

Today, for some reason, feeling nostalgic, we changed the location to the unlike usual... But nothing much would be different.

As we always have.

We would simply exchange blows with our swords.
