Chapter 52 - The A-Rank Dungeon!

Right now, a massive A-Rank gate hovered over a Seoul intersection. 

The Hunters Guild's 'A-Team', led by the veteran A-Rank Tank Son Ki-Hoon, was fully geared up.

Shields were enchanted, swords were sharpened, and the healers were meditating.

Everyone got ready for the battle they would face. Yes, they might be veterans who had faced various dangers, yet they were about to face an A-Rank dungeon, which posed a level of danger that required their highest level of alert. 

Some might think that they would become arrogant as they had finished many dungeons. Still, Choi Jong-In was a businessman first and a hunter second, so he had always made his guild members follow his SOP, Standard-Operating-Protocol. 

So despite their experience, they never let their guard down. 

Still, their team was ready, the support was around, and everything was just set except for the two people that they had been waiting for. 

"He is here." 

"The new S-Rank Hunter." 

"Kim Minjun." 

Instead of an armored car, Minjun walked out of a luxury sedan, wearing a bespoke suit and holding a cup of premium iced americano, rather than his bow. 

No, he didn't even seem to bring his bow, yet this was normal, as his bow could change its form into a ring. 

Naturally, Cha Hae-In also followed, but unlike him, she was dressed in her usual battle gear. It was red in color and wrapped tightly around her body so that it wouldn't bother her movement, yet what she didn't know was that she was erotic, especially when the silhouette of her womanly form was shown lewdly under that tight battlegear. 

More importantly, the way she tied her shoulder-length hair into a ponytail was just too dazzling, especially when her ponytail swayed as she walked, causing him to catch a glimpse of her white, smooth nape. 

Kim Min-Jun wasn't a SIMP, but he was still a man, so of course, he would be affected by Cha Hae-In's charm. 

If he wasn't affected, then wouldn't he be gay? 

By learning psychology, he might be able to handle his emotions better, but this was a natural biological attraction stemming from his healthy, young body. 

How could he stop it? 

Turning off his emotions by becoming an emotionless robot? 

It was absolutely impossible, as while he might become a perfect being in the process, he would lose his humanity, which was something that he didn't want to do, and frankly, it wasn't fun. 

Minjun gained a unique power from his other self, the Manager, and also awakened as an S-Rank Hero. 

If he couldn't enjoy it, then what was the point, right? 

[Don't worry. The user has a high percentage of making Cha Hae-In fall in love.]

"..." 

Minjun sighed inwardly, feeling complex since he knew that it was dangerous, as he didn't really want to take away Sung Jinwoo's original waifu. 

Instead of Cha Hae-In, he should focus on someone else, someone who had been staying with him for so long, after all. 

Still, he should think about the problems of emotions later, as he listened. Son Ki-Hoon, the leader of this current raid, is an A-Rank Tanker.

Yes, Son Ki-Hoon might have a lower rank, but even so, he had a lot of experience, and under everyone's understanding of an Archer, Minjun needed this man the most, even though... well, let's listen first.

After all, they were all kind. 

"Alright, Minjun-nim. Standard A-Rank protocol. I will take the vanguard and draw aggro. Our mages will provide AoE cover fire. You stay in the center with the Healers and snipe the high-value targets." 

The plan was simple and easy to understand. 

"What do you think, Minjun?" Cha Hae-In asked, looking at him, waiting for Kim Min-Jun's decision. 

"..." Son Ki-Hoon. 

"Okay. Let's listen to the captain since I am new here. Please take care of me." 

"Yes, leave it to me!" 

Son Ki-Hoon's pride swelled up as he felt respected! 

If Minjun was arrogant, they couldn't say anything; they would grumble at first, accept it, and when he faced the dangers, they wouldn't save him, letting him face the dungeon's dangers. 

However, Minjun was polite and understood that he needed them, which improved their moods, and told him to focus on his snipe, handling the high-level monsters as they handled the rest. 

"......" 

Yet, Minjun was at a loss. 

How simple!

Minjun was speechless, but he knew well that the reason why he could have all of their attention easily was, first, because of his status as the S-Rank Hunter. No matter how hard they tried to become powerful, their potential was lower than his. He also had Cha Hae-In accompanying him, which showed how important he was in the eyes of Choi Jong-In, the guildmaster of the Hunters Guild. 

No one disrespected Choi, as everyone knew that the reason they could become the best was because of Choi, a master businessman. 

Still, after Minjun subtly controlled their affection for him with a psychological trick, he looked at the map, and had the "Manager" analyze it, having it carry predication about the monsters, numbers, and all other details of this dungeon, and—

[In conclusion, the user can finish this dungeon in 45 seconds.]

"....." 

'Really?' 

[Yes. Would you like to start the auto-mode, letting us handle the battle?]

"....." 

Should he? 

As he thought so, he said, "Captain Son, sorry, but can you change the plans?"

"Yes?"

"I will walk in first. You and your men wait exactly 45 seconds, then bring the mining carts." 

"....." Everyone. 

"What? Sir, that's suicide! It's an A-Rank—"

"Let me face the danger of the dungeon, since if I am being pampered all the time, I don't think I can grow, so will you let me?" 

"That's..." 

No matter what they said, they knew well that they pampered Minjun, as he was the youngest and had the highest potential. 

Still, as Minjun had said, if he didn't really understand the danger, he wouldn't grow stronger, but if he was hurt? 

Only—

"Are you sure, Minjun?" 

As the staff nearby held up a smartphone with a nervous expression, it was clear that Choi Jong-In had said those words.

Yes, Choi might not have followed them, but he watched their interaction in real time because he wanted to see Minjun's potential, too. 

"Yes, Guild Master. Let me." 

"Good." Choi didn't intend to stop Minjun, and he felt that it was better to let Minjun face the danger, so he could understand how important his comrades were. More importantly, there was Cha Hae-In by his side, along with all the other powerful Hunters. 

Lastly, it was just an A-Rank Dungeon, so it didn't matter. 

"..." Sung Jin-Woo. 

"Show me what you have got, Minjun." 

"Leave it to me." 

Stepping forward, Minjun materialised his bow as he entered the dungeon!
