333 – Area 7 – Old Shelter (1)
A month ago from now.
After completing my promotion to S-class holder, just before moving to Europe.
I have made a grand plan to reorganize personnel within the Clan.
An executive meeting held with Master, the assistant master, Han Sang-jin, head of the planning team, and Jae-ho Yoon, head of the scout team.
The key issue was the allocation of departments to each team.
“The hunting team does not deviate much from the temporary team we formed earlier.”
Han Sang-jin, head of the planning team, brought out a plan that had already been conceived.
“The composition of teams 1 through 5 is the same. “Although new teams may be added in the future, we judged that the composition of 5 teams was appropriate within the current strength.”
“Yes. “You can create more teams after recruiting additional clan members.”
After I lightly agreed, Han Sang-jin continued to recite the plan.
“Instead, there was a change in the assignment of team leaders. The most important matter is the personnel transfer of Deputy Master Yoo Eun-seol Holder.”
Master also quietly nodded his head at those words.
It appears that this has already been communicated to some extent.
“Actually, he was the team leader because it was a temporary hunting team with an urgent schedule. If you look at any other clan, you won’t find a case where the assistant master is the leader of the hunting team.”
“That’s right.”
“So, the assistant master escaped the personnel assignments of the general hunting team and took on the role of team leader of the newly created hunting team.”
“A direct hunting team?”
“Yes.”
Han Sang-jin calmly handed over the plan and continued his explanation.
“After the area 6 attack was over, several holders, led by clan member Moon Ga-eun, requested the creation of a special hunting team.”
“Are you Ga-eun?”
“Yes. The point is that we would like to have a special team centered around dispatched clan members. Since you never know when dispatched clan members will leave the clan, if they are assigned to a regular team, there is a high chance of problems if they leave. In particular, the clan members’ grades and levels are high, so the gap may feel bigger.”
It made sense.
Right now, Moon Ga-eun and Kang Joo-yeon are telling me that they will never leave , But the contract I made with my father-in-law is to be a clan member dispatched for a certain period of time.
It was also unknown when the inter-clan agreement would change and they would be able to return.
Creation of a special hunting team to prepare for this.
It is an understandable request.
“But what does this mean, my direct team?”
“The Master is basically out of the hunting team’s personnel assignments, but he is the holder who is most active in hunting activities among all clan members. Therefore, the direct hunting team came about from the idea that it would be a good idea to create a team focused on special activities with such a master as a free role team member. In other words, the master also becomes a member of the team’s free roll team.”
Including dispatched clan members Kang Ju-yeon (Judgment by Fire), Moon Ga-eun (Royal), Lee Yu-chan (Yonggwanggeomro), several temporary clan members (I don’t know why, but Kim Chae-eun is also said to be included in this team), and myself, the clan master. Hunting team.
Here, Deputy Master Yoo Eun-seol is also exempt from personnel assignment as the team leader.
It was a team worth utilizing if its creation was confirmed.
“Were you pressured by Ga-eun and Juyeon?”
“… Absolutely not.”
However, it is questionable whether the request for creation was really intended.
Anyway, the intention itself was good, so I allowed the creation of a direct hunting team.
“For your information, Team Leader Park Jin-woo also hoped to be assigned to this direct team.”
“That will never work. “Jinwoo is already the team leader.”
“Yes. So I dismissed it early.”
“Well done.”
Park Jin-Woo has consistently proven his outstanding leadership and destructive combat power, from the deputy leader of the To the team leader of the temporary hunting team of 5.
It was a waste of manpower to assign him, who was already a team leader, to a team member.
‘… Even the direct hunting team is a waste of manpower.’
Master and I.
And Chae-eun Kim, Ju-yeon Kang, Ga-eun Moon, and Yu-chan Lee.
For now, the only team members selected are 2 S-level members and 4 A-level members.
In fact, it was a small elite team that could be considered the most core force of the clan.
“Anyway, the hunting teams will remain the same from teams 1 to 5. “There were some changes in the team members, but the team arrangement was similar to that of the temporary team.”
In other words, the composition of teams 2 to 5 is maintained.
Only one team had a major change, with team leader Yoo Eun-seol leaving.
“Then the team leader of Team 1….”
“We are currently nominating clan member Yun Ji-ah, who was recently promoted to A-level holder. “As long as the Master gives permission, it will proceed as is.”
This time, Jaeho Yoon, head of the scouting and personnel team, spoke.
Jia Yoon.
One year my senior who was in the Circle with me.
He was the holder who gave up his title as a promising player in Korea’s top 3 clan And transferred to our clan.
Because of his outstanding potential, he was recently promoted to Class A holder.
A huge achievement considering she is only in her first year as a professional holder.
However, as the term ‘first year’ explains, he was also a holder who lacked leadership experience.
“Isn’t it too early to take on the role of team leader?”
“When we first suggested clan member Jinwoo Park for the team leader position, the master said that.”
Han Sangjin looked at me with a slight smile.
“You will do well enough. “Isn’t this a clan member that the Master recruited with confidence?”
“Um….”
“And I think these personnel assignments fit well with our clan’s colors.”
I opened my eyes slightly at those words.
“Clan color?”
“Yes. A land of opportunity where any skilled clan member can take a high position. “I think this is the biggest advantage that our new clan, Evil Hunters, has.”
“It gives off a trendy clan vibe.”
“Yes.”
Any skilled holder can move up.
Experienced holders also receive their own treatment.
A clan with an appropriate mix of old and new.
However, it is not that the clan lacks reputation, so it is a new clan that is expected to succeed the top three clans in Korea.
These points could be a great advantage for high-ranking holders considering joining a clan.
“Good. “I will select clan member Yoon Ji-ah as the leader of Hunting Team 1.”
“Yes!”
The most important agenda, the assignment of personnel to the hunting team, has been completed.
And Han Sang-jin paused and looked at me.
“Then now….”
“Yes, let’s talk about opening a multi-purpose R&D department.”
Second agenda, creation of a new department.
This was a proposal I proposed directly to Han Sang-jin.
* * *
Allied forces crossed the And entered a new area.
Area 7 had none of the dark atmosphere felt in the previous districts.
In other words, it is an area without ‘undead’, which can be seen as the main force of the Ludenarch School.
It is a completely new type of area.
‘… But you can’t let down your guard.’
The absence of undead means that there are monsters or adaptors of a similar or higher level within the area.
[Step into the ‘old shelter’. Traces of grandeur and cruel punishment remain everywhere. Speed and durability decrease significantly.]
[The special power of the ‘Bright View Index’ rune maintains the target’s clear mind. It is not shaken by any curse or condition.]
The name of Area 7 is .
Looking at the name of the area and the nature of the debuffs, there is a high probability that Termen’s warriors are staying there.
In fact, the three major clans that attempted to invade the area all reported seeing adaptors presumed to be ‘Thermen.’
Was difficult from the beginning.
A debuff with a strong effect that reduces speed and durability is spread throughout the area.
Unlike me, who completely ignored the area effect with [Light Index], Most of the Allied personnel seemed to frown at the debuff.
That is not the end.
[The magic trap ‘Blood Drain’ is being activated in the area! As long as you step into the ‘old resting place’, the blood in your body is sucked into the ground little by little.]
[The magic trap ‘Altar of Symbols’ is being activated in the area! As long as you step into the ‘old resting place’, there will be a singularity in your magic power array, making normal operation difficult.]
[Magic trap…… ]
A feast of debuff information windows that fill the field of vision.
These are all debuffs that are applied to .
No matter how many potions you eat and how to remove them with a divine spell, you cannot remove all debuffs.
In the first place, debuffs like [Altar of Symbol] Were a type of trap that could not be resolved with divine power.
‘It lives up to its reputation.’
Area 7 is not called the impregnable zone for no reason.
The level of various traps and debuffs, such as monsters and adaptors that appear by default, easily exceeds Class A, so it was difficult to attempt to attack them with any reasonable preparation.

But in other words-.
“Arin Choi Holder.”
“Yes, Master.”
Now that we have declared our attack on Area 7, we have been prepared for this to some extent.
“Please explain to the Allied personnel.”
“I understand.”
After being recruited as an official clan member.
Arin Choi treated me respectfully as a master every time I met her.
When I first met Choi Yu-min, I felt like she was a bit of a tomboy, but now she has a completely different vibe.
If you had met Arin Choi, who grew up in the original, wouldn’t she have given off this cold feeling?
In fact, this change in her occurred after being rescued from the … I don’t know what exactly triggered her to change like this.
“This is Choi A-rin from Evil Hunter.”
When I was thinking about something else for a while.
Arin Choi stood at the front of the allied forces and opened her mouth.
And then takes out an item from the magic bag.
An item made of old wood and various magic materials, with four large magic stones set on the edges.
What appeared was a magic tool that looked exactly like a ‘wooden sign’.
“Everyone must have received this item before the operation began. From now on, you can install the items at each point in the area according to your turn. This item is a magic tool that can disrupt the flow of magic in a certain area and nullify magic traps installed in that area.”
Most Allied personnel were taken aback by the short explanation.
“There is such an item?”
“Then the difficulty of the attack will be significantly lowered, right?”
The reason why I asked Choi A-rin to give this explanation is simple.
This is because she is the one who knows best how to use all the magic tools she will use in the future, including the magic tool [Sign of Disruption] That she is explaining now.
And besides, she is the ‘co-creator’ of this item.
◎Name: Sign of Disturbance
◎Type: Special (Equipment + Magic Tool)
◎Rating: Epic
◎Producers: Dong-wook Kang, Arin Choi, Yu-min Choi, Hyun-ho Lee, Chang-min Son, Jae-yeol Kim……
…
…
‘As expected, it was good to make a team.’
I nodded with satisfaction.
During the special clan member recruitment period, I did not only recruit the ‘freshman trio’.
A large number of talented student holders were recruited into the academy’s special branches, and blacksmiths and alchemists who were quite famous in the holder world were brought in under exceptional conditions.
And even the recruitment of Professor Kang Dong-wook, who recently announced his retirement from active duty.
The ‘R&D team’ of Is made up of them all.
As they conducted joint research, tremendous results emerged in a short period of time.
“Next, I will explain the magic tools to be used. Please check the light brown potion among the supplies.”
And Choi A-rin perfectly meets the expectations and explains clearly.
She was a new clan member of And a clan member who was unexpectedly appointed as the team leader of the new R&D team.
