Chapter 99
Ark Guild Headquarters Master Room.
Gu Hwang-seok headed to the underground Alpha Room, a secret space in the master room.
[Sensing the magic power level. please wait for a moment.]
After installing nerve sensors all over his body, he entered an artificial capsule that helps circulation of mana.
He lay down in an upright position with his eyes closed.
His magic power level measured through a neural sensor.
He tested it today to check the maximum level of his mana gauge.
[average mana values 23, 24, 25, 26.]
His allotted mana figure was slowly rising.
As in the past, the magic power level did not rise exponentially.
Normally, around this time, half of the average mana figure should have been easily passed.
Raising the gauge to 50% was slow these days.
[Average mana figures 48, 49.]
[Measured at an average mana figure of 49.6%.]
‘!!’
When the magic power level was measured, Gu Hwang-seok hurriedly came out of the artificial capsule.
“Heuk!”
I focused all my attention on raising the level of magical power.
After checking the mana level according to the analysis result, I suddenly felt a sense of shame.
Among the values measured so far, the lowest mana value.
Moreover, it was a whopping 5% decrease from last week.
It was the first time he had experienced such a rapid decline, so he risked entering the artificial capsule once more.
[Measured at an average mana figure of 49.6%.]
However, the mana figures were the same both times.
The moment I realized that it was not a mechanical defect.
Gu Hwang-seok’s expression also hardened.
“I never thought it would fall this far.”
The number of mana that gradually decreases.
In the future, if this phenomenon continued all the way, it seemed that the remaining magic power would not be much.
Leaving his confused mind behind, he thought about the past.
“Is there really a way?”
Suddenly, the words Cha Min-joon said began to come to mind.
[It’s not like there’s no way. A way to increase the magic regeneration ability again.]
The heartache that I had been doing alone all this while.
However, due to the previous guild tour, the stories of meeting Minjun Cha and exchanging interviews were not easily erased.
Minjun’s words, which were confident and confident, continued to flicker.
“I’m such a fool, too, to bet on the words of such a young friend.”
Gu Hwang-seok felt sorry for himself.
It was true that his magic regeneration ability had significantly decreased, but it was funny to expect to hear the confidence-filled voice of a friend who was much younger than himself.
Afterwards, leaving behind complicated thoughts, he moved to the master room.
The sunset reflected in the window seemed to represent his feelings today.
‘Is it really time to leave… .’
From being an unknown hunter to getting to where you are now.
The splendid days passed by like a kaleidoscope in Gu Hwang-seok’s head.
With a sense of mission as a hunter, Gu Hwang-seok made numerous contributions in the global alliance war.
Hunters have often regarded him as an icon of envy, even calling him the ‘Master of Magic’.
Hunters, who had no way of knowing his inner circumstances even now, were still calling him ‘Master of Magic’.
However, those are just stories that are told without knowing the current situation.
Now, he has declined as much as he would decline, and the modifier ‘Master of Magical Power’ is now unfamiliar to him.
Gu Hwang-seok let out a sigh of relief at the brutality of the years.
For him who has the status of a guild master.
The fact that his magic power gradually decreased was in the same context as taking his life.
maybe he thinks
Often, the phrase “Leave when the applause claps” seemed appropriate.
“Ark Guild” that is recognized globally
His contribution to making it to where he is today has no choice but to be acknowledged no matter what anyone says.
smart-
“come in.”
Soon, with the sound of knocking, Chief Lim bowed his head.
“I brought the tobacco you mentioned before.”
“Five? okay?! I’ll try smoking it in a while.”
“Oh, it’s a big deal. I can see you looking for a new beginning of the year after 10 years.”
“Yeah, I thought I’d never find it again. I guess I’m too old It reminds me of old things often.”
“I hate to say this, but I would recommend that you smoke in moderation as it is harmful to your health.”
“Of course, I just miss the old scent a little bit.”
“All right.”
He even recalled the days when he had stopped smoking for about ten years.
Chick-chick-
Gu Hwang-seok naturally lit a cigarette.
Along with the hazy smoke, a sip at the beginning of the year gave me a strange feeling of freshness.
“Long time no see. This taste too.”
He kept making subtle expressions all the time in the cloud of tobacco smoke.

two days later.
Returning to the Zenix Academy, Minjun was exhausted.
All I remember from Jeju Island.
Other than drinking all night, I don’t remember much.
That’s a fortunate thing.
First day of the trip.
It was to obtain the ‘special magic stone’ by attacking the 5th floor of the ‘lowly tower’. Looking back, I thought it was a really good move.
Otherwise, the second day of the trip.
It would have been difficult to enter the ‘lowly tower’ in a sane state.
That would be too.
On the second day of the trip, I was in trouble because of the tight schedule to the extent that I traveled all over Jeju Island.
Minjun took out a special magic crystal from inside his dormitory room.
“On the outside, it doesn’t look much different from other magic stones.”
A special magic stone with the effect of increasing magic regeneration.
However, it was not easy to distinguish it from any ordinary magic stone by just looking at the outside.
“I wonder how much it will feel.”
Tomorrow is the one-month anniversary of the promise made with Gu Hwang-seok.
Indeed, Min-jun was curious about Gu Hwang-seok’s expression when he experienced the special magic stone.
“I’m pretty sure I’ve reached my limit by now.”
Gu Hwang-seok’s career was well known to Min-jun.
Some people refer to it as the ‘Ark Guild’, which is subordinated to Woohwang Guild, the best guild in Korea.
This is an erroneous thought and statement.
Because it had the uniqueness and nobility that only the ‘Ark Guild’ had.
Even now, among the guilds representing Korea, there was no objection that the ‘Ark Guild’ was an indispensable guild every time.
and tomorrow.
Minjun is planning to visit the Ark Guild office again with this ‘special magic stone’.
It is sure to be a place to prove to Master Gu Hwang-seok that he is not wrong.
Indeed, he was also very curious about how he would evaluate Minjun.
Minjun immediately contacted Im.
To-to-to-to-
By the time you hear a hand signal or two.
Lim’s voice was immediately heard.
“Hello, how are you? I am Cha Min-joon.”
-Long time no see.
“Is it possible to have a meeting with Master tomorrow? I made a separate appointment a month ago.”
-With Master?
“Yes, if you tell me, you will probably know.”
– As soon as I confirm, I will contact you again.
“All right.”
After a brief phone call with Mr.
Minjun waited for his call to come again.
Has it been like 5 minutes?
Lim called again.
-Cha Min-joon, please visit our office building around 3:00 tomorrow.
“All right. See you at that time.”
***
next day.
Minjun visited the ‘Ark Guild’ office once again.
Upon entering the lobby, Im greeted him in a black suit.
“Welcome, long time no see. So, shall we go? Master is waiting for you.”
“yes. I see.”
Director Lim and Min-joon climbed into the VIP elevator.
I headed straight to the 72nd floor where the master room was.
[You have reached the 72nd floor.]
Upon arriving on the top floor, the 72nd floor, Director Lim guided Min-jun to the door of the master room.
“You will be waiting. Then, have a good time.”
“yes.”
Without hesitation, Minjun approached the door of the master room.
smart-
[Come in.]
Gu Hwang-seok’s thick voice came across the door.
Minjun also cleared his throat and opened the door.
“long time no see.”
I don’t know if it’s been about a month, but there was a thick white beard growing around Gu Hwang-seok’s mouth.
From the outside, it seemed that the sternness was oozing out.
On the contrary, the feeling of intimidation was noticeably reduced compared to before.
“Welcome, it’s only been a month.”
When Gu Hwang-seok readily shook hands first, Min-jun also held hands.
“I see you again after a month. I heard at first glance that it’s vacation time these days… . So, did you come to keep your promise?”
“If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have to come here.”
“hahahaha, whether it was in the past or now, that confident appearance is still the same. What did you come to say today?”
“Well, I came today to give Master a present.”
“It’s a gift… .”
Minjun opened his inventory and carefully took out the ‘Express Magic Stone’.
In front of him, there was no change in Gu Hwang-seok’s expression when he confirmed the ‘special magic stone’.
Rather, he just stared at Minjun indifferently.
“Look, isn’t this just an ordinary magic stone? I can collect as many magic stones as I like.”
“It’s not just an ordinary magic stone. Have you ever heard of a special magic stone?”
“Special… Special Magic Stone?!”
When Min-jun finally mentioned the special magic crystal, Gu Hwang-seok’s eyes widened.
He had been living as a hunter for almost 40 years, and he had no history of seeing a special magic stone in his lifetime.
While hunting hundreds of thousands of monsters, there has never been a single case in history where a special magic stone has been dropped.
Because of that, it was difficult for Gu Hwang-seok to believe Min-jun’s words straight away.
“If you want to play a prank on me, you’d better stop. There hasn’t been a case where a special magic crystal has been dropped in Korea yet.”
“If you don’t believe me, check it out. Because there is nothing better than this to increase magic regeneration.”
“!!”
Min-jun approached Gu Hwang-seok and handed him the ‘special magic stone’.
Although he looked full of doubts, Gu Hwang-seok, with some unknown attraction, put his hand on the ‘special magic stone’ given to him by Min-joon.
