Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 226



Episode 226

The Baekho Guild and the Hyeonmu Guild are rivals that the entire nation is aware of.

The size of the hunters and the brand value are similar.

That’s because the name comes from the White Tiger and Hyeonmu of the four directions.

The two guilds were always lumped together as a set and were on people’s lips.

However this was truly unfair from the Hyeonmu Guild’s perspective.

‘Our guild was created a year earlier!’

In the first place ‘Hyeonmu’ was not the Hyeonmu of the four directions.

‘Hyeonmu of the Hyeonmu River! ‘They just named it after me!’

That’s right.

In fact it was just a name I came up with intuitively.

But one day a year later.

Suddenly a man named Baek Yun-ho left the Shinigami Guild and founded the ‘Baekho Guild’ named after himself.

From then on Baekho Guild and Hyeonmu Guild began to come up as a set in people’s mouths.

From there the Hyeonmu guild began to have more and more headaches.

Friendly competition? Everything is good.

Competition between guilds was okay.

The problem was Baek Yunho.

‘what? Baek Yunho That hypocritical person donated again?!’

It was crazy.

On the subject of a new guild that has just been formed.

Just go hunting quietly and make money.

The White Tiger Guild started giving out too many good deeds for no reason.

Targeting a field that doesn’t make any money.

Like saving low-level hunters.

Taking care of the welfare of miners.

As a result the White Tiger Guild grew at an alarming rate.

People began to praise Baek Yun-ho in unison.

As a result I suddenly started getting criticized for being compared to Hyeonmu Guild because their names were similar.

In terms of sales alone the Baekho Guild could never beat the Hyeonmu Guild.

Because I only choose things that don’t make money!

On the other hand the brand value was quickly overtaken.

Even lower-middle level hunters who had just awakened revered the White Tiger Guild and were anxious to join it.

As a result the Baekho Guild was always overflowing with applicants and the number of hunters applying to the Hyeonmu Guild which was relatively reviled gradually decreased.

Then when the Baekho Guild announced that from now on it would only hire hunters with the skill to become a beast the number of people applying to the Hyeonmu Guild increased again but that was also unlucky for Hyeonmu Gang.

At that time the beast hunters were treated as half-human beasts by the citizens and were the object of fear so Baek Yun-ho who was in the same position as them made a bold decision to personally embrace them which once again gained great favor among the people.

At that time it was natural for the Hyunmu Guild to be compared again and become a hot topic among people.

…for this reason.

Strictly speaking the two guilds were not on bad terms with each other but the Hyeonmu guild unilaterally disliked the Baekho guild.

“Baek Mi-ho.”

Hyeonmu-gang glared at Baek Mi-ho in front of them with disapproving eyes.

“What are we going to do now?”

“So Hyeonmoo-gang what are you trying to do to Hunter Seong Su-ho?”

“I am simply making a recruitment proposal to a new S-class hunter. “They were also offering very generous contract terms.”

“Not a slave contract?”

“…Baek Yunho.”

At that moment Hyun Moo-gang’s impression was crumpled once again when he saw Baek Yun-ho appear next to Baek Mi-ho.

“What kind of nonsense is this a slave contract?”

“Don’t you know better? “There are rumors spreading throughout the industry that the Hyeonmu Guild is forcing hunters to sign slave contracts.”

“under! That kind of fake news….”

“Fake news? 10 year contract. Huge penalty for leaving the guild. “Can you confidently say that it’s really fake news?”

I flinch.

At Baek Mi-ho’s words Hyun Moo-gang’s expression momentarily flinched but instead he stepped forward with an even more shameless look on his face.

“There is clearly a confidentiality clause in the contract but it looks like there were some people who kept their mouths shut. Yes there is definitely such a contract. “But what’s so bad about that?”

“What?”

“This is a contract that the hunters themselves decided and signed. Penalty for withdrawal? What is that? “Isn’t that a natural clause since we paid a large down payment?”

“Of course? “It’s only been two years since the cataclysm occurred so what’s tying Hunters up for 10 years but a slave contract?”

Suho scratched his cheek while looking at the people fiercely arguing over him.

‘…There is no room to intervene.’

It’s embarrassing.

I have no intention of signing a contract with anyone Hyunmu Guild or anywhere else.

Rather what was more important to Suho was how many S-class hunters were gathered in the association.

‘Could it be that there are only five people?’

In order to go to North Korea the approval votes of five S-class hunters were required.

However only five people gathered.

He turned his head and looked at General Manager Lee Se-hwan who created this place.

Director Lee Se-hwan who was busy chatting with his subordinates behind the scenes caught Su-ho’s gaze and shook his head and said.

“okay. I guess this is it. “Other S-class hunters have expressed their refusal to contact me because they are busy raiding dungeons or cannot be contacted.”

In fact S-class hunters rarely gather in one place except for reasons like today.

Because they were so busy it was difficult to keep their schedules in sync and the opportunity costs that would be missed in the meantime were enormous.

Then if a dungeon break breaks out in the distance who will take responsibility for the countless sacrifices made by citizens?

So even today there were only five S-class hunters who ultimately accepted the association’s invitation.

The remaining people responded that they were either unable to contact them because they were in the middle of clearing the dungeon or that they would not be able to come.

“But consider yourself fortunate that the five of us somehow gathered together. The problem is that everyone here must allow you to go to North Korea…”

After hearing Director Lee Se-hwan’s words Su-ho looked at the five S-class hunters excluding Baek Mi-ho one by one.

First Lim Tae-gyu of the Reaper Guild.

He asked looking at Suho’s side.

“Suho I can’t see Do-gyun. Where are you and what are you doing these days? “You couldn’t have taken him all the way to India right?”

“…I’ve been running hard on the treadmill at the gym these days.”

“Oh really? Good. “Moderate exercise is good for your health.”

“yes. sure.”

Although it is not very appropriate it will definitely be good for your health if your lower body is strong.

Thanks to the mummy bandages and healing potion there is no need to worry about dying.

“….”

Still without realizing it Suho was avoiding Lim Tae-gyu’s eyes.

Anyway the other four.

Baek Yun-ho and Hyun Moo-gang are fighting hard in front.

And then the two men and women behind them caught Suho’s eyes.

Seo Ji-woo of the Blue Dragon Guild.

Ma Dong-wook of the Myeongseong Guild.

“Don’t you think it will be easier than you think?”

At that moment Lim Tae-gyu was next to him and spoke up for Su-ho.

“Sure.”

“You don’t know about me and Baek Yunho but the other three won’t accept you easily. “We S-class hunters are competing with each other due to conflicts of interest between guilds and at the same time we don’t want other S-classes to go to North Korea and die.”

Lim Tae-gyu continued his explanation while leisurely crossing his arms and leaning his back against the wall.

“Regardless of national prestige or security issues if there is one less S-class member right now those of us who remain will become busier. It might be easy for you because you have a lot of summons but we’re not kidding we’re so busy that we’re almost dying. But how did you really end up with so many summoned beasts?”

“I just happened to see it.”

“Turning words. I came here because I was curious about that so if you just answer that question properly this time I will allow you to go to North Korea or whatever. “On the condition that I will not take Do-gyun with me.”

Lim Tae-gyu was always worried about his son.

In fact at this very moment the son was suffering to the point of death from Ammut before North Korea but sometimes ignorance is medicine.

“Anyway in order to get the consent of all five people gathered here it is essential to prove your own strength and meet the requirements presented by each person. “It might have been better if there were more people but since only five people gathered you are now a strict member.”

[Little Lord don’t you ignore the laws of ugly humans. Is there a way to just sneak away among ourselves for the sake of the greater good?]

At that moment it was Ver who was next to Suho sticking his face out and whispering like a devil.

Then on the other side Quay a former villain showed his face and whispered like an angel.

[You must not be deceived by such devilish words! The moment you are caught the Master will become a wanted S-class villain! In that case how about killing everyone gathered here and destroying the evidence? Should I secretly sting you with a poison needle?]

[Quaresha of the Plague the king of bugs blinks.]

“….”

It was Suho who silently pushed Ber and Quay into the shadows.

At that moment Seo Ji-woo and Ma Dong-wook came up to Suho and started talking.

“Wow what were they just doing? You said you were an S-class summoner. Are those your summons? It looks similar to the black guys I saw in the Loktak video? no way?”

Seo Ji-woo the representative of the Blue Dragon Guild was a combat hunter specializing in close combat and a person with strong muscles and fighting spirit.

He had been fully armed with gauntlets and armor stained with the blood of a demonic beast as if he had stopped by while raiding a dungeon just a moment ago.

On the other hand Hunter Ma Dong-wook of the Myeongseong Guild was an old man with a warm appearance wearing baggy clothes as if he were drinking let alone armed.

But the problem is its size.

“Heh heh. “You are the new S-class hunter!”

Ma Dong-wook an old man so enormous that it was difficult to believe he was human approached Su-ho with a kind smile.

Then he began to admire Suho’s shoulders and arms as he touched them.

“oh! The body is very solid! What a great physique! If you don’t have a guild in mind wouldn’t you come to us? Our guild is all about magic so we lack combat skills. Oh my I forgot to say hello. My name is Ma Dong-wook. “He leads a famous guild in Honam.”

He was groping Suho’s body and belatedly shook his hand and Suho also greeted him and shook his hand.

however.

“Nice to meet you. “My name is Seong Su-ho…”

Wow.

“…?”

Suddenly Ma Dong-wook who was holding Su-ho’s hand began to feel an enormous grip.

When Suho raised his head with a puzzled expression Ma Dong-wook’s expression looking down at him suddenly had a mischievous look mixed in.

“I was curious. “Did you really explode that huge beast with your fern-like fists?”

Unlike Seo Ji-woo Ma Dong-wook’s only interest was power.

The black beasts known to the public to be Dungeon Break were controversial but the scene where Suho burst a huge beast like a balloon with a single punch was broadcast live around the world.

“Let me see how I can hold on to my strength. “That’s the end of my requirements.”

Coo coo coo coo…!

A mountain-like force began to radiate in all directions from Ma Dong-wook’s whole body as he grabbed Su-ho’s hand.

‘This power… is sincere.’

Suho was in a similar situation to when he first met Thomas Andre so he wasn’t embarrassed anymore.

‘In all this time I haven’t seen one or two grandfathers who like to show off their strength.’

Suho smiled and asked Ma Dong-wook.

“Is that really your only requirement?”

“Hoo. Can you hold on to this? of course! “If I send a guy who can’t even withstand my strength to North Korea I’ll be so worried that I won’t be able to sleep… Ugh?!”

moment.

Ma Dong-wook’s expression who had been laughing heartily and tightening his grip even more crumpled.

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!…

Something shocking started to happen.

…?!

Baek Yun-ho Baek Mi-ho and Hyun Moo-gang who were fighting next to him at that unusual appearance stopped talking and looked at him with wide eyes.

Ma Dong-wook’s face turns bright red and he grits his teeth.

He started out as a joke but now he has started to increase his magical power to withstand the power of Suho.

The air around the area spread around Suho and Ma Dong-wook.

Suho’s calm voice flowed from the center.

“Director Se-hwan Lee.”

“Uh huh?!”

Lee Se-hwan who had been frozen in embarrassment next to him came to his senses and hastily responded to Su-ho’s words.

“Are there any A-level healers in the association right now?”

“It’s all natural. “Why is that?”

Again it is not common for S-class hunters to gather like today.

And when we occasionally got together something like this would often happen.

It’s like a sparring where people exchange strength with each other in the name of ranking or pure training.

So this time too Director Lee Se-hwan had an A-class healer on standby in case of emergency.

For reference an A-level hunter had the ability to regenerate limbs even if they were cut off.

“Then it will be okay.”

Upon hearing Director Lee Se-hwan’s answer a smile appeared on Suho’s lips.

and.

Kwasik!

“…!”

A silent scream burst from Ma Dong-wook’s mouth.
