    Episode 2

    “Aaaah!”

    The situation was worst.

    Screams wailing here and there.

    Emergency evacuation orders ringing frantically.

    The Mist Bundle which had multiplied in an instant continued to create new victims.

    “If this continues we will all end up like that!”

    Assistant Professor Lim screamed.

    Mist Burn was not a monster he could catch at his level.

    Moreover Mist Burn… was the being that stimulated his most painful trauma.

    Slap!

    “uh? Assistant teacher! Where are you going!”

    Suho was surprised.

    I can’t believe that Assistant Manager Lim the only hunter here is running away!

    Assistant Professor Lim narrowly avoids Mist Burn’s attack and escapes out of the exhibition hall alone.

    Should I follow him?

    Suho who thought for a moment soon moved his body.

    However the direction is opposite to that of Assistant Professor Lim.

    Hot!

    Suho ran to the corner of the exhibition hall and picked up a fire extinguisher.

    ‘I don’t know if this will work…’

    I couldn’t bear to run away and leave the others behind.

    Suho ran to the place where the mist bundles were gathered holding a fire extinguisher.

    Sigh!

    White powder spurted out and covered the mist bundle.

    [Grrrrrr!]

    Of course since it is an attack that does not contain magical power there will be no significant damage.

    However it was not difficult to temporarily suppress their firepower.

    ‘That’s enough for now.’

    Fortunately Suho confirmed that the fire extinguisher was effective and continued to move the tip of the fire extinguisher spraying other mist bundles as well.

    Sigh!

    [That’s it!]

    [Kaaaa!]

    During that time I looked around.

    Suho found his friend who had fallen and helped him up.

    “Are you okay?”

    “Ugh.”

    My friend’s face was covered in tears and snot.

    “Hey come to your senses!”

    Suho shook his body but his eyes remained restless.

    Slap slap!

    They forced him to come to his senses even if it meant slapping him in the face.

    “Su-ho?”

    My friend’s eyes barely came back into focus.

    Suho’s gaze glanced downward.

    ‘Did you sprain your ankle?’

    “Let’s get out of here first.”

    Suho picked up his friend and surrounded him.

    Thanks to the fire extinguisher the movement of the mist bundle was temporarily weakened.

    There was only now a chance to escape from here.

    “Hehehehe. “What about Assistant Professor Cho?”

    The friend who was being carried by Suho cried and asked.

    Every painting department student knew that Assistant Professor Lim was a hunter.

    However in this emergency situation it was impossible to see where he had gone.

    “I heard you were requesting support from the Hunter Association earlier?”

    I didn’t think there was any need to say that I threw it out after that.

    ‘I was already scared.’

    Hearing Suho’s words a sigh of relief came from the mouth of the friend who was riding on his back.

    * * *

    I came out of the exhibition hall.

    But it wasn’t over once we got out.

    In fact it was even more chaotic outside.

    Grumble!

    [Big!]

    ‘It didn’t just appear at the exhibition hall.’

    Suho bit his lip.

    It seemed like the entire museum was filled with mist bundles.

    ‘They say it’s a proliferative demon beast. It’s really awful.’

    I thought all I had to do was get out of the exhibition hall.

    “Aaaah!”

    “Save me…!”

    “When will the hunter come!”

    People were gathered here and there shaking.

    The Korea University Museum of Art building has obvious passageways.

    Stairs and elevators.

    However mist burns were fluttering along all the roads.

    ‘If things continue like this people will be in danger.’

    Suho quickly assessed the situation.

    All escape routes are blocked and the number of demonic beasts is increasing.

    If things continued like this I didn’t know what people in fear would do.

    Jumping out of the window is no problem but if you jump out and turn into a magical beast the situation will only get more complicated.

    ‘I think it would be better if I gave them the means to protect themselves.’

    Suho shouted holding up the fire extinguisher he had brought.

    “everyone! Pay attention here!”

    Some of the people who were scared looked at Suho.

    “There is a way to deal with monsters!”

    “…!”

    At those words more people turned their heads in this direction. And then I found a fire extinguisher in Suho’s hand.

    “I see!”

    “that’s right! “If it’s a fire extinguisher…!”

    “You can kill monsters!”

    Light returned to the eyes of those who had been helpless.

    Suho was embarrassed.

    ‘Oh it’s not like I can kill him. ‘Does it matter?’

    First of all it was important because it gave people hope.

    People were scattered and scrambling to find fire extinguishers.

    “I found the car!”

    “I found it too!”

    People who found a fire extinguisher cheered.

    At the same time people who could not find a fire extinguisher became thoughtful.

    There was no way there were that many fire extinguishers on one floor in the first place.

    But that was enough.

    Suho shouted to them.

    “You don’t have to carry a fire extinguisher at all! Anyone with a fire extinguisher please follow me!”

    “Hey.”

    Disappointment appeared on the faces of the people holding the fire extinguishers.

    Now I see that only those holding fire extinguishers are taking the lead in the fight.

    Suho took the lead and aimed the fire extinguisher at Mist Bun.

    Ssssssssssssshhhh!

    From now on actions rather than words.

    [That’s it!]

    Mist Burn’s firepower has noticeably weakened.

    The complexions of the people who saw the scene brightened.

    “It works!”

    “good! me too!”

    Sigh!

    As they gained confidence fire extinguishers began to spray out of their hands.

    “Great! Let’s keep pushing forward like this!”

    Suho continued to run ahead and push the mist bundle.

    In the meantime people follow Suho and carefully come down the stairs.

    It was then.

    [Kaaaa!]

    The problem was that mist bundles were coming from behind as well.

    “Ugh!”

    “It’s in the back too!”

    People who had barely calmed down fell into panic again.

    Rumble!

    People rushing down the stairs in fear.

    Suho gritted his teeth.

    ‘We’re almost there.’

    It seemed like if we left it like this we would all collapse down the stairs.

    Suho said as he put down his friend who was carrying him.

    “Now you can go alone from now on right?”

    “Huh? “What are you going to do?”

    My friend looked at Suho with a very embarrassed face.

    Suho shouted to the people holding fire extinguishers with a stern expression.

    “I’ll take care of the back so those in the lead can clear the way!”

    “Oh I understand!”

    Suho eventually turned around and went back up the stairs.

    ‘I don’t know what I’m doing.’

    The non-awakened person was suddenly imitating a hunter.

    But I couldn’t help it.

    The body moved first.

    Sigh!

    [That’s it!]

    Suho’s fire extinguisher attacked the Mist Burn approaching from behind.

    Then suddenly.

    “…hmm?”

    [Huh?]

    The powder that had been spewing out with such force suddenly stopped.

    At the same time Mist Burn and Suho’s eyes which had been helplessly pushed away became awkwardly intertwined in the air.

    “under.”

    Suho laughed helplessly.

    “It’s ruined.”

    […Kaaaa!]

    A mist burn attacked Suho.

    Grumble!

    Blue smoke engulfed Suho.

    And it also multiplies into new mist buns….

    It was then.

    Shwaaagh!

    […?!]

    That moment.

    Mist Burn ended up facing it.

    The deep deep abyss sleeping within Suho.

    * * *

    Mist Burn born from the remnants of magical power was a weak being that moved only by instinct.

    At the same time it was also a troublesome demonic beast that could become strong and endlessly increase its number of clones as long as it had enough fuel.

    So which fuel is the best?

    A living thing.

    Among them humans with abundant vitality were good fuel that burned easily like dry firewood.

    In that sense Suho was the perfect prey for Mist Burn.

    however.

    Shwaaaagh!

    The moment Suho’s body was swallowed up.

    The Mist Burn was swallowed up in the pitch-black abyss hidden within the guardian.

    […Kuh?]

    A confused Mist Burn looked around.

    No matter where you look there is no end to the abyss.

    But someone was looking at him from the deepest part of the abyss.

    Mist Burn growled fiercely billowing blue smoke.

    [Wow! Big! Wow…?]

    But no matter how much I bark all I get back is an empty echo.

    Then Mist Burn suddenly realized something.

    That it is not someone in the abyss but the entire huge abyss that fills the surroundings that is looking down on you.

    And that too with my mouth dripping as if I was looking at delicious food.

    [Kiyaak?!]

    The abyss opened its mouth wide at Mist Burn who was startled and tried to run away.

    Gulp.

    * * *

    Push-hik.

    “…uh?”

    Suho had a puzzled expression.

    The mist that was covering him suddenly dispersed into the air.

    Crispy.

    The human body which was the culprit also turned into ashes and collapsed on the spot.

    But that was then.

    [Mist Burn has been defeated.]

    [You have met the completion conditions for ‘Secret Quest: Courage of the Powerless’.]

    “…what?”

    Suho’s eyes widened at the message that suddenly appeared in front of him.

    [Your level has risen!]

    Flash!

    A dazzling light enveloped Suho’s entire body.

    * * *

    Suho’s friend Kim Dae-hyun managed to escape from the museum.

    dump.

    The moment my leg which had been walking with a limp came out I lost all strength.

    Daehyun who was sitting helplessly in front of the art museum instinctively looked for Suho.

    “What about Suho? “Have you not seen Suho?”

    “Who is that? Oh that friend from earlier?”

    People remembered the student who took the lead and fought with a fire extinguisher.

    But Suho was nowhere to be seen.

    Someone hesitated and opened his mouth.

    “You said you were going back up to take over after that person?”

    “No way….”

    “You’re not out yet?”

    People were buzzing.

    Someone muttered in a hopeful voice.

    “But since he’s a hunter wouldn’t it be okay?”

    “Suho is not a hunter!”

    Daehyun shouted in an urgent tone.

    Those words were even more shocking.

    “what? “You’re not a hunter?”

    “You’re not even a hunter so how can you…!”

    Their eyes simultaneously turned to the art museum.

    Suho… still couldn’t get out.

    Hunters arrived just in time after receiving the report.

    “Here we go!”

    Assistant Professor Lim was the first to run away dragging the hunters with him.

    Assistant Professor Lim breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the people who escaped the museum safely.

    ‘Ha I’m really glad. It looks like everyone escaped somehow.’

    As an E-class hunter I convinced myself that I had chosen the best method but when I actually looked at the people I felt guilty at the fact that I had been a coward.

    “So how did you all get out?”

    The hunters who came with Assistant Professor Lim looked at the people with puzzled expressions.

    Mist Burn appeared in such an isolated space but so many people survived?

    It was fortunate but I was curious about the circumstances.

    “There’s someone else who hasn’t escaped yet!”

    Daehyun shouted with an urgent expression.

    “Suho is still there…!”

    “Suho? “Suho is still in there?”

    At those words Assistant Professor Lim was surprised and turned his head towards the museum.

    “If it weren’t for Suho we would all be dead!”

    The expressions on the faces of everyone who survived became gloomy as Daehyun cried.

    The hunters asked curiously when they saw that.

    “Is that Suho a hunter? “What’s the grade?”

    “…Ordinary people.”

    “yes? How can an ordinary person…?”

    It was the moment when the hunters were about to ask for more details.

    Grumble!

    An ominous roar was heard from the museum building.

    “…!”

    People’s heads turned in that direction at the same time.

    An ominous magical power was surging above the building.

    “this. Has erosion begun?”
