"You are saying in under a year from now we should become Immortals?" Hwang Myeong-suk rubs her forehead. Still, finding this unbelievable.
"You heard that right."
"But how?"
"It's not that hard. I could have cut the time in half if you want to achieve that level faster."
"It became even more absurd. Yo-han are you sure you are not joking around? No matter how much I think, I don't know how are you going to do it?" Hwang Myeong-suk creased between her eyebrows. The more she listens to him, the more she cannot believe such nonsense.
"Myeonh-suk, I know you have difficulty accepting my words. I'm not lying to you... To tell you the truth, I'm stronger than I look. Helping you all to achieve Immortality isn't that hard for me." His voice contained confidence. He didn't even have an ounce of hesitation, it's as if he wanted to make them immortal in an instant he could do so.
Well, if Kim Yo-han wanted to, he could. But, making them Immortal in an instant is not ideal. The mortal rank is the foundation for the Immortal body. That would mean they would have an unstable foundation and have less chance to achieve godhood.
"If I want to become an Immortal in half a year like said so, how will you do it?"
"The training you have now, let's see... A hundred times the difficulty and you need to do it alone. Every time will be a near-death experience or you may die."
"H-Hundred times?" Yoon Yuna's expression looked like she had seen a ghost. Paler than a vampire.
Everyone also looked at Kim Yo-han while their hair was standing. Their training was already difficult and you tell them, a hundred times more? Wouldn't they be dead at this point? Furthermore, Alone? No team-up?
"Does that count as su.i.ci.de?" Hwang Myeong-suk laughed dryly. She looked like she was leaving the world behind.
"You jest. It's even more than that."
"I want to know the reason why you want us to become immortal that fast?" Hwang Myeong-suk resigned to her fate.
"I don't know if you believe it but since I trust all of you. It won't hurt to tell you... In the future, there will be a huge war that will happen and [Paradise] will be destroyed killing 98% of the population."
Without a sense of hesitation. Kim Yo-han dropped a bomb. No, this one is even stronger than just a bomb. Everyone's faces were dumb-stricken.
"..."
"Guildmaster, now that you spell out the truth. It appears you are making a big plan for this, isn't it?" Jin Hyunjun was the only person who did not find the information explosive. Since his identity is an explosive in itself.
"Yeah, Hyunjun once we get my Noble Title. You will become one of my vassals and I will appoint you to recruit people. You know the ins and outs of this world. Do you wish to accept?"
"I will accept Guildmaster! I won't disappoint you!" Jin Hyunjun kneeled on one knee placed his right hand on his chest and bowed his head.
"Hyung what's wrong with you?" Imchul tilted his head in confusion.
"No need to hurry, Hyunjun I still have to accept my Noble title from the King first." Kim Yo-han approached the kneeling Jin Hyunjun and patted his shoulder.
"Yes." Jin Hyunjun stood up.
"Good. Imchul, don't ask your Hyung for now. Wait for him to tell you the truth. In this world, we have to learn etiquette cause our Guild is part of the hierarchy. you all have received the reward, right?"
"Yeah, I got appointed as Knight in your family Yo-han?" Hwang Myeong-suk said.
"M-Me too" Yoon Yuna raised her hand.
"I got one too." Kim Hana also answered.
"Boss, I'm also a Knight," Imchul replied.
"Yo-han, I'm not a Knight but the Count's sister?" Kim Hayan tilted her head in confusion.
"So, I want to ask all of you? Who wants to become an Immortal in Half a year?"
Kim Yo-han looked at their hesitation and did not get mad. Their hesitation is not unfounded, after all, it's not something they can decide on the spot. But Kim Yo-han will not wait for them to decide.
Because this is related to their will. If they show hesitation that would mean they are not ready for the hell training.
"Boss! I will do it!" After contemplating for a moment, Imchul raised his arm.
"I-I-I will do it." Yoon Yuna slowly raised her hand nervously. Her face was quite pale.
"What Yuna? You? Then I can't show my weakness. I will also do it!" Hwang Myeong-suk was shocked to see Yoon Yuna raising her hand before her.
Only Kim Hana and Kim Hayan did not raise their hands. Although, Kim Hana has strong willpower. She is still young and Kim Hayan has reasons.
For Jin Hyunjun, he was appointed to search for people to get recruited. He could only become an Immortal in a year or so. But if he thinks about it, that's already an absurd amount of time. So he was not losing out.
"Good. I admire your bravery... Don't worry, even if you die. I will not let you." Clapping his hands loudly, Kim Yo-han smiles widely.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Hwang Myeong-suk asked nervously.
"That's a secret..." Kim Yo-han blinks at her.
"Yo-han, why do I feel we are going to die?"
"Hahaha, that's just your imagination. Work hard not to die." Kim Yo-han laughed while covering his mouth.
"Did I sign up wrongly?" Hwang Myeong-suk regretted her decision.
"Myeong-suk Unnie l-l-let's do our b-b-best!" Yoon Yuna tried to cheer her up.
"Yuna, don't you see. We are going to die?"
"I-I-I think we would hehe...b-b-but I trust Yo-han-ssi."
"Yuna don't laugh, you look crazy." Hwang Myeong-suk slaps her forehead. Her comrade has lost her mind.
"Myeong-suk-ssi it's not too late to back off?" Imchul crossed his arms. Knowing the danger, he trusted his Boss.
"Don't tempt Imchul-ssi. This is my decision." Hwang Myeong-suk stops Imchul with her hand. She was afraid she would back off.
"Now, let's report to Leader Shana for now. I think she will guide us to register our names or something."
...
"Hey, Ziba?" Once they arrived at the Support Division Camp 46. Kim Yo-han and the others found Ziba and they wave at him.
Ziba who noticed their group quickly dashed toward them. His face was looking excited it seemed he was waiting for them.
"Kim Yo-han! You're all here! Thank god you came. There are so many higher-ups looking for you. If not for our Leader hiding your information they would have crowded this place. Right now, millions of people are looking for your group. What the hell did you do?"
"This guy can run his mouth." Hwang Myeong-suk looks at Ziba expressionlessly.
"Hahaha, I apologize." Ziba scratches the back of his head. He didn't find Hwang Myeong-suk rude. It was normal, he was called Mouthy Ziba, after all. "Anyway, The leader is waiting for all of you. She has many things to talk about. Did you recruit someone?"
At the back of the Kim Yo-han's group. A person in a black robe with a mask. This person is something, Kim Yo-han created.
He told Hwang Myeong-suk and the others that this person would be the person who helped them become the top 1.
"Yeah, this person is our newest member. Forgive his appearance. He doesn't want anyone to see his appearance." Kim Yo-han nodded.
"Oh, this must be the powerful person. Lucky, Kim Yo-han your group is very fortunate. Where did you meet him?" Ziba whispered.
"When we were scouting. We found him in the woods and helped him. He was seriously injured."
"Can I greet him?" Ziba asked excitedly. Kim Yo-han saw her eagerness to talk to the black-robed masked man behind them.
"I don't mind. He doesn't really talk."
"Thanks... Hello Mr-" Ziba approached the Black-robe masked man, but he didn't his name. Due to excitement, he forgot to ask the name of this man from Kim Yo-han.
"Name is John." The Black-robed man answered.
"Forgive me for my insolence noble John. I'm Ziba. Can I talk with you?" Ziba stretched out his hand for a handshake.
"..."
However, John did not ignore him. Ziba awkwardly took his hand back and laughed wryly. Kim Yo-han approached him and patted his shoulder.
"Ziba, don't mind Mr. John, it's his personality. He doesn't interact much. Come on, please guide us to Leader Shana."
"Hahaha, Mr. Kim thanks for the save."
Kim Yo-han and Ziba walked together. Ziba was grateful and quickly saved him from awkwardness. It would be bad if he offended John.
Hwang Myeong-suk and the others chuckled at the side. They don't know how to react. They know this John is not real but seeing Ziba at was loss for words, they can't help but find this funny.
The usually mouthy Ziba was stopped by the mighty John.
Ziba brought the group inside the tent. Apart from Ziba and Shana, no one knows about Kim Yo-han's group. That's because Shana del Heron did not submit her report
Shana has been busy daydreaming recently. She forgot to submit it.
