Chapter 42

While flying a little far from the mountain Hye thought well and decided not to go to the dungeon flying but by car.

He went back to the foot of the mountain, got his car and headed for the dungeon. When he arrived at the scene one of the members of the Scarlet guild group said "who is this idiot here?"

"Stop talking like that. He is also a member of the group. " said a woman who was sitting next to that man

"But why do we need it? Why doesn't another member of the guild come with us? " asked the man looking unpretentiously at Hye who was still getting out of the car

"It's because this is a test to see if he can join the guild too" said a really beautiful woman

Seeing that when this woman spoke, everyone else was quiet. Hye realized that she was probably the vice leader of the guild or the scarlet beauty as she is best known.

(Vice leader of the Scarlet guild or scarlet beauty as she is better known, she also had a nickname for fast punches due to her great speed, but she doesn't like being used because she is ugly and doesn't match anything with her guild name. His real name is Byeol Cha.)

But Hye paid attention to something that the deputy leader said, walked slowly away from the car and towards the portal and asked "how is this a test?"

"This dungeon is meant to be a test for newcomers to the guild and also for someone who wants to enter it, but this time only you came to take the test without being in the guild yet. Everyone else is a novice. " replied Byeol

'What the hell! Where did I go? … I think I better leave. 'Hye thought this because he thought that if he passed the test he would be forced to join the guild, and he didn't want it.

Hye walked back to his car and said "I'm sorry but I think this was a huge mistake, I don't want to audition to join your guild. I just wanted to go to the dungeon. I'm sorry but I'm going to have to go. "

Byeol did not understand what was happening there, but she did not want Hye to leave since the more members she had in her guild, the higher her position would be and the more power she would have as a vice leader.

Thinking about it she tried to use her beauty to convince Hye to stay. But that obviously didn't work since in Hye's mind she was nowhere near Mina.

Seeing that even using her appearance she would not be able to make Hye stay, she told him that even if he entered the dungeon he would not be forced into his guild.

Hye was almost getting into his car again but on hearing this he saw that he would have no problem even if he passed the test, that he didn't even know the requirements.

After Hye agreed to go to the Byeol dungeon too, he ordered everyone to get ready quickly to enter the portal. Byeol only said that to Hye because she wanted to see if it was worth recruiting him or not. And she, too, wanted to know why he was so confident that he would pass the guild test. So if he were really strong she would do anything to make him part of her guild.

After a few minutes, everyone was ready to enter the dungeon. So after checking everything, Byeol gave the order for everyone to enter.

______________________________

Inside the dungeon Byeol told all members of the guild group to split into groups of less than 5 people each, when all groups were formed it gave a total of 5 groups. But there was a catch. The total number of members who entered the dungeon was 27 people so there were still 2 people left outside the groups.

That was Byeol's plan. She wanted to pair with Hye to find out how strong he is. But Hye ending her plan said that it was better for him to go alone since there was no way to form another group. Everyone in the group was surprised at what Hye had said since not even an A-rank or even a low-level S would be so sure that he could get into an A-rank dungeon alone and make it out alive.

Some of the people in the group were worried about Hye, while others were telling him to stop wanting to show off. Byeol, on the other hand, continued to wonder why he was so confident.

Without listening to what the others said, Hye walked into the dungeon. And there was a cold place, very cold indeed. There were several mountains everywhere, and they were all frozen. It was so cold that Hye had to use some of his fire to keep his body warm constantly. Seeing how cold it was, Hye knew that people in that group could either die with difficulty in battle because of the cold, or even literally freeze. But that had nothing to do with him so without even looking back he kept walking further and further into the dungeon and leaving the others behind.

After walking for a few minutes Hye found something like battle marks. But that was strange there was not just one brand, but two different brands. And this was new to him since he did not know that he could have more than one species of monster inside a single dungeon.

And those marks were strange in themselves, one looked like the mark of a giant fin and the other looked like the shape of a seal's tail. As Hye saw this, he felt he was being followed. Not feeling any dangerous aura, he just put it aside and continued to move on.

______________________________

After Hye walked into the dungeon Byeol sent each group in a different direction within the dungeon and then followed Hye discreetly.

As she walked after Hye she realized that it was getting colder and colder. She did something different from Hye, something he didn't even know was possible. She put a mana pad around her body so she wouldn't feel too cold.

After a few minutes of walking behind Hye she was startled to see the battle marks where Hye was. Only by seeing the marks did she know that those beings were not weak, and that perhaps if she went alone and came several at once on her she might not be able to bear it.

As she looked in amazement at the huge marks that were close to Hye she realized that her mana shield was no longer advancing against that intense cold. Seeing this, she decided to add more mana to the shield making it stronger and more resistant.

However, when she increased the amount of mana used on the shield, it seemed that Hye had noticed that someone was following him. But looking at him, she saw him looking sideways and then continued walking as if nothing was happening.

She was relieved that Hye didn't seem to notice her, but was wondering how normal he was even with all the cold he was doing. It looked like he wasn't even caring.
