Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 22



Episode 22

“Suho don’t you have a personal protective suit yet? “Wear this.”

In front of Seoul Station Assistant Professor Lim handed Suho some thick clothes.

When I received it it was a one-piece work uniform with connected top and bottom.

“Now these gloves and work shoes are a set so put them on.”

“thank you.”

“What am I thankful for? Since I called you suddenly it’s natural that you didn’t prepare anything. Learn it this time. “Hazardous clothing is a must-have for collectors.”

Season 2 following the explanation of the miner last time.

Assistant Professor Lim’s lecture on the collector continued.

“Being a scavenger is a much more dangerous job than being a miner.”

Miners were a job that was not very dangerous except in special cases such as the last field at Korea University.

This is because all you have to do is pickaxe safely at the very back of the dungeon where all hunting has ended.

“But the collector is different.”

The location of the scavengers is right between the raid and mining teams.

In order to collect the corpses of the demonic beasts the raiding party hunted I had to follow closely behind the raiding party.

Naturally accidents in which the raiding party was attacked by demonic beasts that they were unable to catch occurred frequently.

“Of course there are only one or two at most so if you are careful when they first suddenly pop out the raid team will immediately come running and rescue you.”

“It’s a protective suit for just that moment.”

“that’s right. But actually it is more useful when collecting the corpse of a demonic beast. “If the beasts have sharp thorns or scales ordinary clothes will get scratched and ruined while working.”

“Instructor….”

“Oh but I’m not too impressed. “Compared to what you did.”

“No this smells like a widower.”

“…It’s because I live alone.”

After a while.

Raid hunters arrived at the scene.

Suho calmly observed them.

There are a total of 10 members.

‘Are there four D-class magic hunters five D-class combat hunters and one C-class healer?’

It seemed like that C-rank male healer was the leader of the raid team.

However the attack leader walked towards Su-ho and glared at Assistant Professor Lim.

“what. Why are the number of collection teams so small?”

At those words Assistant Professor Lim lowered his head with an embarrassed expression.

“I am sorry. For some reason the collectors went diving as a group. Instead today this friend….”

“What? Is that the answer? What kind of irresponsible thing can you say about signing a contract? “Do you know how much damage there will be if the schedule goes wrong?”

“No no. There will be no disruption to the schedule. “This guy is actually a summoner so there won’t be any problems with his work…”

“What? Are you kidding me? “Summoner?”

The longer Assistant Professor Lim spoke the more grim the attack leader’s expression became.

Then he glanced at Suho and looked up and down.

Suho stands blankly.

Assistant Professor Lim quickly stepped in front of him and scolded him.

“Oh my Captain! You really don’t have to worry. These friend summons will make up for the lack of personnel. “I’ve specially invited a friend who is good at work.”

At those words the attack leader sighed deeply.

“Is it okay if you say it? So in the end we trusted this one person and didn’t add more personnel. “Just take the daily wage and leave!”

As his voice grew louder other raid hunters also flocked here.

“What is it boss?”

“What is this? “Why are the number of collection teams like this?”

“Is this how you’ll do the job properly?”

The collectors surrounded by their cold eyes could not help but shrink more and more.

In fact the raiders’ anger was justified.

If the number of collectors is small the work speed will be slow.

Then the raiding party hunting in front of it had to slow down as well.

The purpose of hunting itself is to make money from the corpses of demonic beasts so there is no point in abandoning the collection team and hunting on your own.

Even here in the Seoul Station field there were no magic minerals so money had to be made purely from the corpses of magic beasts.

“colon. That’s it. That’s it. Normally do you see the irresponsibility of mayfly services for a day or two? “Now I can’t change my schedule for today so I have to go in as I wish.”

“Okay Captain. “Let’s go in at a time like this.”

After being dissuaded by the members the attack leader finally scolded Assistant Professor Lim.

“Anyway just try to catch up today. I will file a formal complaint with the association. “I will take responsibility for you and make sure you never work again.”

“Yes yes. I will work hard. Please believe me.”

As the 10 members of the attack group took turns saying one thing at a time Assistant Professor Lim who was standing in the center lowered his head with a look of mental breakdown.

Since I had committed a crime no matter what I said it could only be an excuse.

But he also felt unfair.

‘I’m not the leader of the collection team so why am I…’

In fact the real collection team leader was also one of the collectors who took the dive.

So Assistant Professor Lim who was nominally the deputy team leader instead became a criminal and bowed his head.

Still the attack leader’s anger seemed to have calmed down a bit perhaps thanks to his skill in bowing down to his professors.

“Tsk. “This is why they are low-level hunters.”

It was the moment when the attack leader clicked his tongue and turned around.

“Get up.”

Kihihihi-

“What the hell!”

Suddenly the hunters looked around in shock at the sound of evil laughter floating in the air.

[Keruk keruk!]

Black demonic beasts suddenly rose from the floor!

The evil goblins with black vapor wafting all over their bodies were giggling and glaring at them.

But its size… was much larger than that of an ordinary goblin.

“Goblin Captain? No even a centurion!”

“Why are the demon beasts outside the field…!”

The members of the attack team hastily took out their weapons.

‘oh my god! ‘I can’t believe you’re approaching me so secretly!’

“They don’t seem like ordinary guys!”

“Everyone ready for battle!”

“Captain! “Get back!”

The basis of the raid is to protect the healer!

They quickly prepared themselves and fought against the goblins…!

[Keruk?]

Fight….

[Kerrruk?]

“…huh?”

But the goblins actually had no will to fight.

[Kerreuk Kkeruk?]

“…Huh?”

The black goblins are tilting their heads asking why they are so angry.

When the guys didn’t attack the raiders stood hesitantly holding their weapons.

“Hmm.”

Assistant Professor Lim intervened between the two clearing his throat.

“What is that boss? “These are the summoned beasts I mentioned earlier.”

“…ah.”

It was only then that the members of the attack squad realized the situation.

When they looked around they saw that the collectors were staring at them blankly as if the conversation had already started.

In the end only the raiders were surprised and made a fuss.

“Yeah yeah. okay.”

“The number… is a lot.”

“One by one there are seven of them.”

“yes. “That’s twice as many as the missing collectors.”

“Keuhumhum.”

At Assistant Professor Lim’s words the members of the attack team eventually looked embarrassed and avoided eye contact.

In response to their reactions Assistant Professor Lim slightly raised his thumb towards Suho.

Suho also smiled at him.

In the first place these seven shadow goblins had been extracted in advance during the daily quest so there was no need to go through the trouble of picking up their bodies again.

“Now then let’s go in.”

As Suho moves the shadow goblins swarm after him.

Suho muttered as he passed by the raiders who were still standing there awkwardly.

“Don’t fall behind for no reason.”

“….”

* * *

So they entered the Seoul Station field in earnest.

The inside of Seoul Station which had already been eroded was full of darkness as the electricity was cut off and the walls and floor were full of unidentifiable vines and moss.

“It’s slippery so watch your step.”

The attack leader who was walking ahead glanced at his colleague.

“Clear visibility.”

Grumbling.

Fireballs rose from the hands of the magic hunters and swirled around them.

Thanks to this as the surroundings became brighter I could see a light blanket of blue fog.

At the same time the identity of the demonic beasts hiding in the darkness was revealed.

“Shaaaak!”

Spiny lizards crawling everywhere climbing the walls and ceiling!

“Everyone ready for battle!”

At the command of the attack leader the hunters ran out and started using skills.

And the attack leader who was protected behind them as a healer looked back at the collectors.

The embarrassment from earlier still remained on his face.

“Then the collection team… please follow us carefully and begin the work. “If you collect the carcasses of spiny lizards you can make some money.”

‘It’s not the devil.’

Suho said he was disappointed and quenched his appetite.

It seemed like the cursed random box had no other purpose other than to give me a useful sword for someone who needed dual swords.

Still it was rewarding to come here with Assistant Professor Lim.

‘It’s my first time seeing other hunters fight.’

Suho moved the lizard carcass into a cart and watched the raiders’ battle with his eyes.

The way several hunters fought by linking different abilities and skills was definitely fun to watch.

‘The battle of the raid is like this. It’s helpful.’

In order to effectively command seven shadow soldiers it was necessary to learn group combat when the opportunity arose.

Until now I had only extracted and used the same type of demon beasts due to the situation but later on I wanted to fight strategically by using various demon beasts at the same time.

To do this it was necessary to obtain corpses of various types of demonic beasts in advance and store them in the shadow dungeon.

‘That’s why we’re a collection team.’

The reason why Suho readily accepted Assistant Professor Lim’s offer in the first place.

The collector was the perfect job to save the corpses of demonic beasts.

Moreover from Suho’s perspective the job of a collector was not difficult at all.

“Pick it up.”

[Keruk!]

“Put it on the cart.”

[Scream!]

Shadow goblins move in unison at Suho’s words and collect dead lizards.

All Suho had to do was walk leisurely behind him as if he were taking a walk.

Meanwhile Ver was sneaking one or two dead lizards into the shadow dungeon.

There were too many lizards anyway so even if I stole a few it didn’t make a difference.

Wag-jak wag-jak.

Of course there were lizards that disappeared from time to time as Ver’s snacks.

Then a problem arose.

Suho did his job too well.

The collector’s job basically consisted of picking up the corpse of a demon beast and putting it in a cart.

However if it was a large monster it had to be cut into pieces with a saw or knife and divided into parts which was actually the most difficult and time-consuming work.

Because it was never easy to split the tough skin and bones of a demonic beast with the power of E-class hunters.

But that was nothing to the shadow soldiers made up of goblin ten and centurion commanders.

[Keruk keruk!]

Thanks to their activities the collection team’s work speed eventually overtook the raid team’s hunting speed.

Thanks to this the collectors had nothing to do and just watched in silence as the hunt ended.

“Hwaam.”

“Ugh.”

The attackers who were hunting had their faces widened as they saw Assistant Lim yawning profusely from behind.

If I hadn’t been told not to fall behind in the beginning I wouldn’t have been in such an embarrassing situation.

It was then.

“for a moment. “Stop fighting.”

Suddenly the attack leader stopped hunting and walked towards the collection team with a stern expression.

Suho was standing exactly at the end.

‘What is it?’

‘Why are you going to start another fight?’

The collectors’ expressions became serious at the sight of this simmering momentum.

Trudging.

The attack leader eventually arrived in front of Suho.

“Hey there you are.”

He looked intently at Suho’s face and opened his tightly closed mouth.

“Are you interested in signing a contract with our raid team?”

[Hehe.]

At those words Ver nodded behind him with a very proud expression.

[As expected our Solord’s extraordinary talent shines anytime and anywhere. He is a guy with a pretty good sense of vision…]

“Be our exclusive collector!”

[No that bug?]

“You have the natural talent of a collector… your salary is at the highest level in the collection industry…”

Assistant Professor Lim barely managed to stop Ver from putting a twinkle in his eye and planning to kill that bastard.
