12 Mana Acquired
With his raid completed...Yu Jin-Ho went back to his apartment to rest as his work for the day is finished and received his pay for the raid. The money Jin-Ho got this time is multiple times larger than what he usually earns raiding F-rank dungeons back on his time in the association.
Yu Jin-Ho took a quick shower to scrape of the dirt he accumulated in his raid earlier. Just before finally sinking in his comfy bed to sleep...Jin-Ho took out the mana stone he stored inside his storage box.
Upon looking at it carefully...the mana stone more or less just looks like a nothing out of the ordinary unpolished stone.
"System...will this piece of stone really help me activate my mana?"
[Affirmative]
[Does host wants to absorb the mana stone]
Seeing as Yu Jin-Ho most likely won't have anyone to disturb him in the middle of the night...he proceeded in undergoing the absorption of the stone.
"Yes..."
[Starting mana stone absorption]
The black stone on Yu Jin-Ho's hand started glowing a dim light. The light slowly traveled across his hand to his whole body. Yu Jin-Ho expected it to be rather painful by relating it to his past agonizing experience with the System but all he felt is a small amount of tingling sensation.
"System...is it really supposed to feel like this..."
[Yes...the mana stone helps to open up channels in the host's body where the mana flows]
The process took quite a bit of time before completion. The System suggested Yu Jin-Ho to get into a meditating position to hasten the process.
While in a meditating stance...Jin-Ho's stomach begins to feel warm as the light on his body seems to be gathering at a single point on his abdomen.
At this point...Yu Jin-Ho is sweating heavily as the heat begins to build up inside him. Wanting to know what's happening...he asked the System.
"What's happening to me..."
[Mana is currently being stored inside the mana pool located in the host's lower abdomen]
The absorption process went on for approximately three hours straight. When Yu Jin-Ho finished...he didn't feel anything different on his body.
[Mana stone absorption complete]

Yet again...Yu Jin-Ho's stats we're out of proportions to his level. At this rate...he will most likely be regarded as a growing threat rather than a helping Hunter.
It seems that the absorption process is indeed successful as Yu Jin-Ho had really acquired mana.
Although mana is no longer a problem...Jin-Ho still really hadn't had any use for it on the meantime as he didn't have yet any single set of skills to use it for.
"System...how can I acquire skills that I can use?"
[Skills can only be acquired by having Class]
"Then I want to attain a class..."
[Host's level does not meet the exact requirement to obtain a Class]
At this time...Yu Jin-Ho didn't have much of a choice but to patiently grind to meet the required level he needs to obtain a Class.
Drowsiness now hits Yu Jin-Ho as his eyes can now barely open themselves. With all day working himself out...Jin-Ho finally hit the bed for the night.

The next day...the still sleepy Yu Jin-Ho got a call on his phone. He reached out for it and answered in a somewhat tired voice.
~Hello...who is it?~
The one who called him so early in the morning is his sister.
~Oppa...mom wants you to come back home.~
This startled Yu Jin-Ho as he jumped out of bed.
The reason Yu Jin-Ho's mother wants him to go home is because she found out that he's working as a Hunter from his sister.
~I thought I told you to keep it a secret...~
~I tried but you know mom...nothing can slip past her.~
Yu Jin-Ho just face palmed himself. It was dumb of him to even think that he can try and deceive his mother.
~Tell her I'm just fine and she doesn't have to worry.~
~I'll try...~
The call ended with Yu Jin-Ho insisting to stay in Seoul to still be a Hunter. He knows this will only make his mother angrier but Jin-Ho would just fix this up when the time comes.
Seeing as it's already early in the morning...Yu Jin-Ho did his daily routine of shower and breakfast and put on his working clothes. As his previous shirt got ripped yesterday...Yu Jin-Ho replaced it with a dark gray turtleneck sweater.
A few minutes later...Jin-Ho arrived at the guild. He then went to the guild master's office to get another raid request.
As soon as he entered...Jin-Ho saw some familiar faces. Right inside...Dam Min-Jee is currently having a conversation with Gye Haeun, Hu Joon and, the rest of the Hunters who are a part of his team yesterday.
They were just discussing about what to do with Hu Joon and the rest as they violated a rule in a raid and what they did is highly punishable.
Yu Jin-Ho came just right on time as he also has a say in this matter. Dam Min-Jee called out for him and he sat besides Gye Haeun...with some distance.
Min-Jee spoke first...
"Jin-Ho...what do you think we have to do to them..."
Yu Jin-Ho looked at Hu Joon with an amused look on his face as if Hu Joon's fate lies at the palm of his hands.
"Oh...if isn't the guy who ran with his tail between his legs."
Veins came bulging out Hu Joon's forehead as he gripped his fists wanting to hit Yu Jin-Ho in the face right this instant but Hu Joon knows he can't because it will only make things worse.
After a short while...Yu Jin-Ho finally has his suggestion and turned his head towards Dam Min-Jee...
"I want you to remove them from this guild..."
Even though she did ask what Yu Jin-Ho suggests to do with them...Dam Min-Jee can't possibly afford to lose an A-rank member and a few more high ranked Hunters. She then tried to reason with Yu Jin-Ho.
"D..don't you think that's going a little overboard?"
Before answering her question...Yu Jin-Ho requested for the rest of the Hunters to leave the office for the meantime except for Gye Haeun.
After Hu Joon and the rest walked out of the office...Jin-Ho began to talk.
"I know you don't want to lose such significant forces in your guild...but keeping human trash in here will only ruin your guild..."
Dam Min-Jee understood Yu Jin-Ho's point. Indeed...getting other Hunters to replace them is not a hard thing to do given her connections and the power she holds as a guild master. To finally decide what to do with the deserter Hunters...Min-Jee asked Gye Haeun if she's aligned with Yu Jin-Ho's idea.
"Do you agree to this...Gye Haeun..."
"Yes."
Dam Min-Jee just let out a sigh as she called back Hu Joon and the others back in.
And thus...they indeed got removed from the guild and even got their license revoked as a Hunter to make sure they can never think of trying to be Hunters ever again.
While all of that seems to be sorted out...Hu Joon on the other hand won't just take this lightly. Due to his arrogant and prideful personality...Hu Joon will definitely have his revenge on Jin-Ho.
'Just you wait...I'll have my revenge...'
