Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 8



Episode 8

“Are you okay? “You’ve been passed out for two whole days!”

The person who entered the hospital room was none other than Assistant Professor Lim.

He was looking at Suho’s complexion as he sat on the bed and the moment his eyes met his.

“I’m sorry! “I’m really sorry for running away alone!”

I started by pinning down apples.

In fact there was nothing the E-class hunter could do alone in that situation.

In the first place E-class hunters’ physical abilities were not much different from those of ordinary people so they did not use their full strength even in dungeons.

The first precaution that Assistant Lim learned after awakening to Class E was ‘If you see a demon beast run away with all your might.’

However Suho who was just an ordinary person at the time was extremely heroic.

‘Saving people in that dangerous place until they faint!’

Thanks to Suho’s performance which contrasted so much with his own Assistant Professor Lim had never felt so embarrassed and flushed in his life.

However Suho was resolute after receiving his apology.

“It’s okay. “There’s no need for the teaching assistant to feel sorry for me.”

“no. “Even if I really had ten mouths I wouldn’t have anything to say.”

After repeatedly apologizing Assistant Professor Lim took out hot porridge from the shopping bag he had brought with him and served it in front of Suho.

“Now are you hungry? Since I’m on an empty stomach eat the porridge first. Now spoon.”

“oh. “Do you have this kind of sense?”

Gurgling!

As soon as he saw it a rumbling sound was heard from Suho’s stomach.

The smell of sesame oil is strong. It was beef porridge with good color and taste.

Without hesitation Suho grabbed the spoon and started slurping down the porridge.

The porridge I ate in two days tasted like honey.

“If you’ve finished eating would you like me to peel the apple for you?”

Somehow I heard there were apples in the refrigerator.

It turned out that Assistant Professor Lim had been visiting Suho yesterday and today while he was unconscious.

‘As I live I receive help from all the assistant professors in the department. I’ve leveled up and there’s no pain at all.’

I was thinking about leaving the hospital today when Assistant Professor Lim handed me an apple and asked.

“You were an employee of the people’s association who left the hospital room a little while ago? “Come and say something?”

“They were measuring horsepower.”

“uh? Did you measure it? “Are you really awake?”

Assistant Professor Lim’s eyes brightened.

“How much horsepower? “I heard this dungeon is grade D. If you survive there at least…”

“They say it’s class E.”

“Huh? “Really?”

Assistant Professor Lim’s eyes widened.

Suho unfolded the magical power results sheet that the association employee had left behind earlier.

“Oh what. Is it really class E? “The horsepower value of 46 is low even among the E-class.”

“Why are you disappointed assistant teacher? What did you expect? Wow creepy. If I tell you that I have awakened to become a great hunter are you going to give me a line? “For some reason he treated me well.”

“No man! If you were a great hunter in the first place would you have fainted in that dangerous place? “At first glance I thought it was D-level.”

“Look. “I thought about it.”

Assistant Professor Lim jumped up and said that it was really unfair.

Then he put down Suho’s result sheet and comforted him.

“Hey it’s better. E-level is good too man. “Don’t you know that E-class is much more stable than the mediocre D-class?”

“I don’t know do I?”

“Hehe. Of course you don’t know. “I have just awakened.”

Assistant Professor Lim put his hand on Suho’s shoulder with great condescension.

“From now on just trust this older brother and follow him. “I an E-class old man will lead you to the world of an E-class hunter.”

* * *

Dungeon raiding is done through a thorough division of labor.

A raid team that attacks the dungeon first.

A collection team follows behind to collect the corpse of the demonic beast.

A mining team mining the dungeon’s resources at the very back.

Among these the roles played by E-class hunters were virtually all except the raid.

“That means there are the most jobs in class E.”

It was true that Assistant Professor Lim said that E grade was much more stable than the mediocre D grade.

D-class hunters are the weakest among the hunters who can join the raid.

In some ways it could be said to be the position most exposed to risk.

On the other hand since Class E was excluded from combat troops it was great to be able to earn daily wages just by working hard in a safe place.

“Of course there are some E-classes who volunteer for the raid despite the risk of needing urgent funds but it is not common. There are more hospital bills. “I wonder if there’s a healer I’m close to.”

The next day after leaving the hospital.

The place where Suho arrived after listening to Assistant Professor Lim’s explanation was the Korea University Art Museum.

‘…I never thought I’d come here again.’

Suho reflected on his emotions as he looked up at the art museum that was completely destroyed ‘because of Ver’.

The purpose of coming here today was none other than to become a miner.

With the exception of the shadow dungeon this was my first time in a real dungeon so I decided to accept it when Assistant Professor Lim offered to help me.

“Oh by the way all classes at school have been converted to non-face-to-face classes until the dungeon is completely conquered. Suho since you’ve become a hunter of course you’re going to take a leave of absence right?”

“I intend to do so. “The exhibition is over anyway and this semester is over anyway.”

“okay. I’ll stop by the teaching assistant’s office and apply for Hunter’s leave of absence. “Then shall we get started now?”

Assistant Professor Lim’s eyes lit up as he looked at Suho with a look of motivation.

I could feel the force of a senior in character in those eyes.

“Hehe. Today I will give you thorough guidance on how to live a wise E-class hunter life! First of all what a digger is!”

[You’re bragging about such a crappy thing.]

“Huh?!”

At that time Ber suddenly jumped out from Suho’s shadow.

Assistant Professor Lim was so shocked that he fell on his butt.

“Demon beast?!”

Ber looked down at Assistant Professor Lim with an insignificant gaze and muttered.

[Tsk. It’s because I’m so scared. Little Lord I know much better what a Hunter is. Rather learn from me.]

Then he flew in front of Suho spread his short arms wide and shouted majestically.

[A hunter is a natural hunter! Slaughter dominate and eat your enemies! That is the essence of a hunter. So please kill me and kill me again and use all that power… Kuek?]

Suho’s hand grabbed the glowing Vert like a baseball.

“Why did you come out suddenly?”

[Hmm. I could feel the energy of the dungeon nearby. Right now Little Lord is like a weak ant larva so I have to stick by his side and protect him to feel safe.]

Joowoouk-!

As he said that Ver’s body stretched tightly and escaped from Suho’s hands.

Then Mini Vere jumped up on Suho’s shoulder and began to be wary of the surroundings and the look in his eyes was very cruel.

But Suho is no longer fooled.

‘When we actually fight over this I’ll just talk to the side again.’

At that time Assistant Professor Lim who belatedly came to his senses carefully pointed at Ber and asked.

“Suho is this really a summoned animal?”

[no.]

Instead of Suho Ber answered firmly.

Strictly speaking Ber was not Suho’s summon but Suho’s father’s summon.

“If it’s not a summoned animal what is it…?”

Assistant Professor Lim who had already been defeated in the first battle of momentum began to use polite language without even realizing it.

Ber’s eyes sparkled intensely.

[I am a nanny.]

“…childminder?”

Assistant Professor Lim tilted his head.

[okay. By human standards… he’s a kind of uncle?]

“…?”

[Hehe. Well there was a time like that.]

What on earth is this guy talking about?

It was Ber mumbling something incomprehensible and looking vaguely at Suho’s face.

Assistant Professor Lim ignored Ber and asked Suho directly.

“Did you awaken as a summoning hunter?”

“Yeah whatever. “I think that’s what happened.”

“Hmm. It’s fascinating. “This is my first time seeing an E-class summoner.”

Assistant Professor Lim did not say anything.

There’s no need to mention how bad summon hunters are.

What’s more it’s a combination of an E-class hunter and a summoning skill.

‘Is it Minor of Minor?’

Assistant Professor Lim is looking at Ber who is standing on Suho’s shoulder.

I was just surprised that he suddenly popped out a little while ago but now that I’m seeing Ber’s cute appearance in person…

‘I guess it’s useless for nothing?’

[Those eyes are very blasphemous. Shall I pull it out?]

“….”

Assistant Professor Lim quietly closed his eyes.

Still it seemed like a summoned beast that would be good at looking out as it was quick-witted.

Plus since you can talk it might be surprisingly useful right?

“Hmm. Still there are many E-class hunters without skills so I guess I’m lucky. “For your information I have running skills.”

“aha. So you ran away well.”

“….”

Assistant Professor Lim was hurt by Suho’s innocuous words.

It hurt more because it was true.

* * *

So Su-ho became a miner at the recommendation of Assistant Professor Lim.

“ego! Let’s work hard today too!”

The mining team made up of E-class hunters was practically working hard at a construction site.

“Hey newbie! Come and get the pickaxe.”

chuck.

The dungeon pickaxe was held in Suho’s hand.

The man who was handing out pickaxes said to Suho with a friendly smile.

“If you break something while working come get it from me. Instead the cost of the pickaxe is deducted from the daily wage so use it carefully. Still the young friend is amazing. “You said you were a student at this school?”

“Hey this is that friend right?”

Surprisingly most of the miners recognized Suho and spoke to him in a friendly way.

‘It’s because of the news.’

Suho smiled bitterly as he recalled the news posted on the Internet yesterday and today.

Was the title ‘Becoming a Hero E-Class Hunter of Hankook University’?

It was ambiguous news whether it was a compliment or an insult.

Of course if he had become the hero of the museum as an ordinary person he would have received a brave citizen award but because he woke up in the middle he was just a hunter doing the job of a hunter.

However since my level as a hunter was actually the lowest it was an ambiguous situation in many ways for others to see.

But even that situation seemed to be a favor to these men.

“Heh heh. What a waste. “If I had gotten even one or two levels higher during my awakening my situation would have been completely different.”

“But don’t be too disappointed because your grade is low~ We eat well and live well right?”

“Go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go “It’s a bit hard on the body but how great is it because you don’t need any special skills and just need to be good at using a pickaxe?”

It was the first time in a while that a very experienced new person came in and everyone was anxious to give Suho some advice.

And Ber hated this warm atmosphere.

[Little Lord while you’re chatting with these idiots why don’t you go level up? Time is a waste.]

“oh! “Is this a summoned beast?”

“Key. “This is my first time seeing this guy again.”

“It would be cute to take you with me.”

“It’s so small that it would be useless for mining?”

The miners gathered in amazement at the sudden appearance of Ber.

In response Ber was fiercely wary and spewed out murderous energy at them.

[Uh huh! Don’t come near you rude bastards! Our Little Lord is a weak person and if you hit him he could die! Rest assured Solord. I will protect you!]

“…?”

Suho looked at Ber in confusion.

Is this really overprotection?

“Hahaha. “The summons are reliable.”

“Now then let’s go do some work.”

The diggers scattered in groups carrying pickaxes laughing at Ver’s cuteness(?).

When Suho saw that a good idea suddenly occurred to him.

“Ber.”

[Yes. If you give me the order I will cut off the heads of those blasphemous bastards.]

“…don’t cut me.”

[Then what kind of command was given?]

“Bring out the goblin corpses from the shadow dungeon.”
