Suspicions

'Do you need any help?'

Min Ari cast a telepathy spell. Although Min Ari is a Fire Mage, it doesn't mean she only has Fire Element. All mages can use basic sensing magic and telepathic spells. As long it's not Element spells, Mages could learn those skills.

To learn those types of skills. It's either through studying skill books or skill orbs. Using skill orbs can acquire skills in an instant.

But you can not use skill orbs above your rank.

'Yes, if you can.'

Yo-han turns his head to the people he already anticipated. Yo-han did not plan to appear before the group without a plan. It would make him a target of suspicion.

With the help of Min Ari's team, they easily subdued the demons. Among the group of demons, Min Ari's team captured three demons with some special items.

"H-Hi, I'm Min Ari." Min Ari approached Kim Yo-han with a slight nervousness. She reached out her hand.

"Hello, I'm Kim Yo-han. Thank you for helping me." Kim Yo-han accepted the hand.

Min Ari's face blushed feeling Kim Yo-han's hand. She reluctantly pulls her hand away.

"Where is your team?"

"I'm alone."

"Eh? Alone? In this place?" Min Ari was dumbfounded.

She thought Kim Yo-han was separated from his team or something. But she did not expect he was alone.

"Yeah." Kim Yo-han nods. He didn't have to lie about having a team with him. It would expose his lie if they investigated him.

"Can I see your terminal? But you don't have to, you know. It's just a protocol between Hunters."

"No, it's okay."

Kim-Yohan opened the terminal on his wrist. A holographic panel appeared. With his godly powers, Kim Yo-han could tweak the terminal as long as he wanted.

[Hunter License

"No problem. To be fair with you this is my terminal." Min Ari opened her terminal.

[Hunter License

Name: Min Ari

Gender: Female

Age: 20

Class: Fire Mage

Rank: S

Guild: Ares]

"You're from Ares?" Kim Yo-han pretends to be relieved.

Min Ari saw his expression and smiled. She was quite proud of her guild. Seeing someone appreciate her guild made her happy.

"Can I ask some personal questions?"

"Of course you can."

"Why are you alone in this place?" Min Ari asked the question that was on everyone's mind.

"I'm training." Kim Yo-han answered truthfully.

"You know you can't get out of this place without clearing the boss right?" Min Ari asked with doubt.

"I know. That's why, I'm waiting to join a group. This place is good for training my mentality."

"Although you're handsome, you are strange." Min Ari could not help but blurt out what she was thinking.

"This guy is crazy! What the hell is he thinking?"

"Training? That's the most incredible thing I've heard."

"Captain Min Ari is right, this person is weird but handsome!"

"Oppa I love you!"

"..." Kim Yo-han's mouth twitched.

"So you are group hopping?" Min Ari sighed. She was using a Lie-detection spell on Kim Yo-han. She found him telling the truth.

Kim Yo-han knew she used a Lie-detection spell on him. That's why he was answering truthfully while leaving out some things he should not say.

Group Hopping is not uncommon for Hunters. It was common in repetitive dungeons. Some group of Hunters has only a few survivors and cannot fight the boss. They would need to wait for a new group of hunters to join the group.

"If you'd like you are welcome to our group." Min Ari suggested.

"I plan to, I'm done training."

"Great!" Min Ari's eyes lit up.

Kim Yo-han was prepared to be barraged by serious interrogation. It's also not uncommon for other Group Hoppers to trap other groups in the name of Group hopping.

Kim Yo-han looks at the pop-up panel. It was his hidden attribute.

He didn't know if he was lucky or too charming.

Min Ari's team and Kim Yo-han proceeded to go back to the main group.

"Why did you decide on training at this place?" Min Ari and Kim Yo-han walked side by side.

The men were envious of Kim Yo-han. They were cursing him under their breath for being too handsome. Min Ari is the goddess of their Guild. Seeing her being chummy with a man, felt their world turn upside down.

"No way, My Ari is in love!"

"Who's your Ari? You shameless bastard. You think she is yours! She's mine!"

"Fuck off, She's ours!"

The conversation between men was heated. The girls were looking at them with disdain.

"You're quite popular. Ari-ssi." Kim Yo-han said.

Min Ari glances at the men as she sighs. She knows her beauty. So it's not surprising for her to have a fanbase.

"Don't mind them, Yo-han-nim... You can drop the honorifics and call me Ari." Min Ari twirls her hair in front of her ear.

"Okay, Ari."

Kim Yo-han calls out her name calmly. But, Min Ari has a different reaction. Her heart stopped beating from excessive excitement. He called her name so intimately.

Kim Yo-han did not know the consequences of his actions.

No, he knows but he is a man who is loyal to the woman loves. He unconsciously ignored the women who had feelings for him.

The girls on Min Ari's team bite their clothes in jealousy. Kim Yo-han is too handsome and it was a love at first sight!

Kim Yo-han converses with Min Ari on the way to the main group. Oblivious or not, Kim Yo-han ignored the passionate look in Min Ari's eyes.

If Lucas were here, he would already pounce on this beauty.

...

"They are here! Recruits! Ready yourself up the test will begin soon!" Choi Kang-dae shouted at the tense newbies.

The C-rank hunters who were lazing around felt their souls shaken by that loud voice. 'It's finally here' they thought.

"Huh? Who is that?" An S-rank hunter next to Choi Kang-dae frowned. He is Li Jinghyun, another S-rank hunter from the Ares guild.

Li Jinghyun likes Min Ari. He constantly tries to win Min Ari but to no avail. She clearly emphasized to him that she didn't like her. But, Li Jinghyun is stubborn and does not care what she thinks.

When he saw Min Ari speaking intimately with the man beside her. Li Jinghyun squinted his eyes.

"Min Ari, who is this person?" Choi Kang-dae asked.

"Kang-dae-nim, this is Kim Yo-han." Min Ari excitedly introduced Kim Yo-han to Choi Kang-dae.

Li Jinghyun felt something had snapped. He couldn't believe the woman he liked would have an expression like that.

"Hello, I'm Kim Yo-han. I'm here to join your group." Kim Yo-han reaches out for a handshake.

"Oh, since Min Ari approved of you. I will not question your identity. But, we can't clear the dungeon today." Choi Kang-dae is a simple man. If he was respected, he would show respect.

Choi Kang-dae already knows what group joining means. He encountered this kind of people in the past.

Choi Kang-dae and Kim Yo-han exchange terminal information.

"I'm fine with that. I could wait for a few more days." Kim Yo-han nods in understanding.

Min Ari told the 2 S-rank hunters about Kim Yo-han, and why he is here in the dungeon alone. Not forgetting, singing praises about him.

"Are we sure we can trust this guy? He looks suspicious in my opinion. Can you really believe he is alone? I think he is not someone we could trust." Li Jinghyun scoffed at the side. He was angered by Min Ari, praising the new guy.

"What's with you, Li Jinghyun. I already said we could trust him. Although he is suspicious, my spell says he is telling the truth." Min Ari became irritated, She hates Li Jinghyun. Not only he was a pervert who kept looking at her, but he was constantly pursuing her despite, her, declining his advances.

"Min Ari, you are too naive. You know, spells like Lie-detection can be exploited. There were many instances where a person would answer you truthfully while not speaking the whole thing."

"... T-That" Min Ari wanted to retort but she could not find the words. "Yo-han is not someone who will lie to me."

Li Jinghyun became even more irritated. Seeing the woman he liked calling the name of another guy so intimately, Li Jinghyun glared at Kim Yo-han.

"Enough! Li Jinghyun and Min Ari do not fight. We are here to train the newbies. There is no need to be agitated. Kim Yo-han, you're still under suspicion so, I trust you won't do anything funny?" Choi Kang-dae stopped the two people from getting into a fight.

"I vow to you, that I may have hidden some things. But I'm not hiding it to fool all of you. I just want to get out of this place."

"Good, I hope you keep your word." Choi Kang-dae nodded. Even if Kim Yo-han did something, He was just an A-rank.

"Yo-han." Min Ari muttered.

"..." Li Jinghyun glared at Kim Yo-han.
