SPELLCRAFT: Reincarnation Of A Magic Scholar



Sung Han Soo and Aloe Vida ventured into the confirmed A Rank Dungeon quite early that morning, and they had been inside for the whole day.

The reason wasn't due to Aloe Vida's incompetence, or the Dungeon posing some sort of special difficulty for her.

The true reason behind them taking their time relied on the fact that an early clear would be too suspicious in the Hunter Association Records.

In order not to draw too much attention to themselves, they had to resort to such means—even going as far as filling the raid member count by employing ghost members.

As a result, while the other team members were outside the Dungeon, busy with other activities after registering for the Dungeon, only Sung Han Soo and Aloe were actually in the thick of it.

Both of them were used to this, though. Ever since Aloe made the agreement with Korea's Hunter Association, she had been helping them this way

A complete one-man-army!

"How long has it been since we started camping again?" Aloe asked, sitting opposite Han Soo as they both huddled close to the campfire that separated them.

All the monsters in the Dungeon had been defeated, except the Boss.

They were currently waiting outside the Boss Room, and just Han Soo only needed to tilt his head a little to see the imposing frosty gate that menacingly invited them to venture inside.

It wasn't time yet, though. Since Aloe had eliminated all the monsters too quickly, they had to wait for a couple of hours before they could subjugate the Boss Monster.

"It's been almost three hours. Two or three more, and we should be good to go." He checked his Hunter-specific equipment.

It was a watch that calculated the dimensional energy wavelength and used it to determine how much time had passed in a Dungeon.

Considering how gravity, time, space, along with other laws that existed in the normal world, functioned relatively different in certain Dungeons, this was an item that at least one member of a Hunter's Party had to have on them.

"I see. Well, that's fine, I suppose." She smiled, her eyes trailing to the Boss Room's massive gate.

"Haha..." Han Soo could tell that she wanted to subdue the monster and get rid of the threat of this Dungeon.

He had learned to read a lot of her facial reactions and and derive intentions from them over the past couple of weeks.

Perhaps that was because he found himself looking at her more times than he would consider normal.

'What am I doing?' He sighed to himself, hearing the flickering flames breaking the silence the silence that existed between the two of them.

'Miss Vida is just such an awesome woman. No, she's a goddess.'

As the son of one of the world's greatest S Class Hunters, and the grandson of the Chairman of South Korea's Hunter Association, certain expectations had been thrust upon his shoulders, especially by society.

People expected him to follow the footsteps of his predecessors, and even he thought he would.

Unfortunately, unlike his father and grandfather, he simply didn't have the talent.

His natural affinity for Dimensional Energy was extremely low—only enough for him to be an E Class Hunter.

The backlash he recieved from the very society that cheered him on and praised his heritage, was heavy.

At some point, he even despaired.

Despite that, he purposed within himself that he wouldn't give up no matter what. He picked himself back up and chose to do the best he could do as an E Class.

He became a Guide, serving as a Porter, or even Monster bait when the situation demanded for it.

'South Korea is incredibly short-staffed. Especially after that S Class Dungeon Break...'

The disaster that took the lives of his parents—both of whom were Hunters.

A lot of South Korea's top Hunters perished that day, and it was because of the strange nature of the Dungeon Break.

Three S Class Dungeons... all appearing and bringing out monsters at the same time...

It was the most catastrophic event in South Korea.

In the end, it led the country to receiving the aid of the Zenith, which was just starting out at the time.

The Zenith promptly subjugated the problem that had plagued South Korea for several days, handling everything so swiftly and precisely.

Their leader, Chad, even made an appearance.

After that incident, South Korea became subordinate to the Zenith, and other countries followed not long afterward.

'Why didn't they just help on time? Why did so many have to die? Why...? Why could I not do anything?!'

Sung Han Soo perhaps hadn't let the past completely go. His current actions reflected that, at the very least.

'I... I don't want disasters like that to occur again. Even if it's in my own little way... I want to help people!'

As a result of that desire, he often ventured into Dungeons any chance he got.

Of course, someone of his caliber could never be allowed beyond C Class Dungeons, and even that was a stretch.

Still, since his role was non combative, he was allowed some of the time.

And... it was during one of those expeditions that a sudden Dimension Spike appeared, merging two Dungeon landscapes into one, which in turn increased the power and number of the monsters.

Before anyone realized it, the difficulty had skyrocketed from C Class to Class.

No, it wasn't simply S Class. It was something more.

The first recorded SS Class Dungeon!

Every member of his Party was slaughtered, and the remaining monsters began toying with him as he hid behind his barrier.

He really thought he would die right there and then.

There was no apparent hope of survival, and all hope seemed to be lost.

But...

>BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!<

... It was in that exact moment that the brilliant light of hope shone the brightest.

Within mere moments, the source of illumination eliminated all the monsters, and in one hit, the Boss Monster perished.

He was saved by that light—no, the source of it.

That was the first time he met Aloe Vida—the one who saved his life and rescued him from the pits of despair.

Sung Han Soo still remembered the only thought that coursed through his mind when he witnessed her radiant beauty.

'She... she's a goddess!'
