Five years have passed since the dungeon break, and the world has undergone significant changes. Abilities have emerged, and people known as Hunters are managed by various guilds under the Hunter Association. hunters possess the power to enter and to prevent dungeon breaks. Hunters have only one ability. Having two or more abilities are known as unique awakener. The Awakened Academy exists to teach Awakeners how to enhance and advance their abilities.
A meeting was held regarding the upcoming opening ceremony at the Awakened Academy.
"So, this is the lineup of guild representatives for this year" EOC(EVALUATION OFFICE CHIEF)Kim said while holding the list of guild representatives. He's the Head in the EO that responsible for hunters application, Administering exams, and ranking hunters.
Everyone was busy evaluating the documents submitted by the different guilds. They were meticulously reviewing each paper to ensure that the representatives of each guild passed the requirements.
"The Harin Guild continues to impress us with their chosen representatives every year. They're not only known as the best tamer guild, but also for their unique beasts." Mr. Jeo the Manager Agent smiled while looking at the screen. He's managing the agents that responsible for gathering informations, intelligence, conducting investigations.
"Speaking of the Harin Guild, there's also the Haeun Guild, renowned as Korea's number one guild thanks to its top-tier Awakener affiliates, including the third-ranked Awakener in the country with the rank of S." Mr. Min said this with a proud smile. He's the Head of Registration department that responsible for the management of the dungeon.
"It's not just the third-ranked Awakener, but they also have many strong affiliates including the three representatives this year" The others laughed in amazement at the mentioned guild.
"Not only the two guild but there's also the Korea's second best the Dapp Guild. They're known for being led by the fourth-ranked Awakener and the best Saintess hoho." Ms. Celestine said while grinning. She's the Head of the Human Resources Department that responsible for managing the association.
"It's certain that many non-affiliates will be eager to join these three guilds." Mr.Min
"There are still many Awakener's who haven't joined any guilds because they're still not sure which one to join right Director Lee?" Mr. Hwang, the Executive Assistant, said and then looked at Director Lee, the director of the Awakened Academy and 2nd S-rank hunter in korea
Director Lee didn't say anything, so Mr. Hwang frowned, feeling ignored.
Since people gain their awakened abilities, many were unable to rise in rank and level due to the limitations of their powers. That's why many were unable to affiliate with different guilds because of their low rank and level. Some chose not to join any guild or to go solo instead.
"But what I don't understand, Director Lee, is that there seems to be more guild member representatives this year. Veil Guild." Mr. Hwang said in curious face, while holding the papers with Veil representatives list.
"We all know the Veil Guild is known for having a small number of Awakener's. Not only that, but they're also known for having no Guild Master and their members aren't registered in Awakened Association" Mr. Jeo said, in disagreement.
They assumed that because the Veil guild had a small members, it was due to the members having low ranks and levels and failing to pass the requirements of other guilds, so they thought they just stayed in the Veil Guild.
Director Lee straightened up in his seat and smiled.
"Well, you're right, but the President and I discussed this matter, and the President personally registered their guild the other day" Director lee said
They were confused by what Director Lee said.
"The other day? Why didn't we know about this?" Ms. Celestine asked angrily.
"We also didn't receive any reports that the Veil Guild was registered." Mr. Kim shouted and slammed the table.
"It's been almost five years, and they only decided to register now?" Mr. Min
"You're wondering why the Veil Guild registered with the KHA now? We all know that the Veil Guild is the first guild since the Dungeon Break five years ago. After the KHA was established and tested the abilities and ranks of Awakener's, some decided to form their own guilds, right? That was the reason for the Veil Guild's downfall. Not only that, but their registration was block several times for unknown reasons. The President knew about this, but allowed it because the Veil Guild ask for a favor that their registration just be put on hold." Director Lee said with a straight face.
*Gulp*
Because they believed that the Veil Guild had no hope of rising, many were opposed to registering with it, especially since the guild members weren't active in dungeon raids.
The others swallowed nervously at the Director's words and looked away.
"Well, it was me and the President's decision to include the Veil Guild this year. It's not like the world will end if we include them, right?" Director Lee said while looked at each of them one by one.
"Are you sure they'll participate? They're known to be the weakest Guild in Korea, right?" Ms. Celestine asked in curious face and the others nodded like they're agree in Ms. Celestine Said
"They won't survive this year, especially in the National and World competitions." Ms. Celestine added.
Director Lee smiled and stood up.
"Well, let's see. Remember, the President and I also came from the Veil Guild. It's only a week until the Awakened Academy opening. Look forward to it." Director Lee began walking out of the conference room and waved goodbye to them.
The people inside the conference room couldn't hide their looks. They never expected the Veil Guild to participate this year.
ONE WEEK LATER
*mur mur mur*
Today is the opening of the Awakened Academy and many are excited, especially with the rumors surrounding the representatives of the three guilds.
"Did you hear the rumors? They say the best representatives from all three guilds were sent this year."
"Not only that, but they are also included in the Korea rank."
"I can't wait to see Enkyung oppa"
"I heard Sanghoon is also one of the representatives this year. He just dropped his newest album this week, right? Best Awakener and idol at the same time. We're so lucky this year. Kyaaaa"
"Im Nari is also participating this year. To think that Nari has a unique beast and the youngest sister of Harin Guild Master. I can't wait to see her beast."
Many students were excited to see the representatives from the said guild. The three guilds were the main topic of conversation outside the campus when they suddenly arrived.
"KYAAAAAAA THEY'RE HERE"
All the students turned to look at the newly arrived representatives of each guild and surrounded them.
"KYAAAAA JEONGHOON OPPA"
"YUNHEEE YOURE SO CUTE"
"HAYOON YOURE SO PRETTY"
Seeing the student rushed to them, the representatives couldn't help but smile at the screams and excitement of the students.
"Easy guys haha" Jeonghoon while enjoying the scene
"Wow I can't believe we're so famous" Eunkyung while doing a pose
"Argh so noisy" Hanuel while covering her ears
"Come on Hanuel don't be a kill joy" Sanghoon Said while trying to stop Hanuel from covering her ears.
"I can't believe this is how we're greeted as soon as we arrive." Duri Said while can't stop smiling and waving at the students at the same time.
Because they were surrounded by many students, they didn't notice that an unexpected guild had just arrived.
"Damn so noisy" a man said with a irritated voice.
Everyone stopped and looked behind the representatives. Even the representatives. The unexpected guild was walking towards them.
"Fvck. I can't believe i lost the game" The woman said.
The other students, as well as the representatives, were confused by the four people who just arrived.
A tall woman with neon green hair in a wolf cut, hands in her pockets. Beside her, a woman with white hair, sleeping soundly on a floating cloud bed, wearing a black blindfold. A tall man with sky blue hair, with an irritated expression, and behind him a tall man with white hair, also wearing a blindfold.
*mur mur mur*
"Who…are they"
The students were confused, as they didn't recognize the four people. The representatives of the three guilds shifted their gaze, looking at the four with suspicion.
One of the representatives couldn't help but use their appraisal to check the status window of the unexpected guild.
"So, they're the representatives of Veil Guild" *smirk.
