The Path To Power

As Hee-Joon decided to take all the courses available in the training facility, he noticed that most of the other students had only selected one or two roles to learn, while others had chosen only one based on their interests. However, Hee-Joon was surprised to see a student around his age who had signed up for all the roles in the facility.

Hee-Joon's eyes were drawn to the student with a distinctive mushroom-shaped haircut and a commanding presence. The young man's pale complexion seemed to glow with an aura of calmness and restraint, giving him an air of sophistication and maturity beyond his years. Hee-Joon found himself intrigued by the stranger's reserved demeanor, as though he was holding a deep, dark secret within.

He decided to approach the student and introduce himself, hoping to make a new friend in this unfamiliar environment.

"Hi, I'm Hee-Joon," he said with a friendly smile.

The other student turned his gaze toward Hee-Joon, and he couldn't help but feel a little intimidated by his stoic expression. Hee-Joon waited patiently for the other student to introduce himself.

After a few moments of silence, the student finally spoke.

"I'm Hyun-Soo," he said in a monotone voice, his expression unchanged.

Hee-Joon couldn't help but feel a little disappointed by the lack of enthusiasm in Hyun-Soo's voice, but he didn't let it discourage him. He decided to try and strike up a conversation with Hyun-Soo and get to know him better.

"So are you also taking all the courses available here?" Hee-Joon curiously asked.

"Yes" he replied

"Great! Even I have taken all the courses" energetically Hee-Joon spoke.

But to his disappointment, Hyun-Soo only said Ok and was uninterested.

Despite several attempts to engage Hyun-Soo in conversation, Hee-Joon found it challenging to connect with the distant young man.

Hyun-Soo continued to focus intently on his tasks at hand, barely acknowledging Hee-Joon's presence. However, Hee-Joon refused to give up and made one final attempt to get through to him.

"So which rank you have awakened, Hyun-Soo?" asked Hee-Joon

To Hee-Joon's surprise, Hyun-Soo finally responded, his voice calm and measured.

"I have awakened F-rank power" Hyun-Soo replied calmly.

He revealed himself to be an F-rank awakened individual, which was a low level but added that he had no interest in fighting in the dungeon. Instead, he only wanted to make money and secure a comfortable life for himself and his family.

Hee-Joon couldn't help but feel curious about Hyun-Soo's cool demeanor, wondering what was behind it. Was he hiding something, or was he simply a reserved person by nature?

Hee-Joon then excitedly launched into his tale, eager to regale Hyun-Soo with his own awakening experiences.

"You won't believe it, Hyun-Soo! I discovered my powers one day while playing with my friends. It was incredible" Hee-Joon continued recounting.

As Hee-Joon shared his ambitions. "I want to become stronger, you know? I want to face all sorts of dungeons, go on thrilling adventures, and uncover the mysteries of this world. It's like an endless journey waiting for me!"

As Hee-Joon finished his animated monologue, he looked around, expecting Hyun-Soo's enthusiastic response. However, to his surprise, Hyun-Soo was nowhere to be found. Hee-Joon's excitement quickly turned to disappointment as he realized he had been talking to himself for the past few minutes.

Feeling a twinge of a letdown, he muttered to himself, "Guess my story wasn't as interesting as I thought. Oh well, maybe I'll find someone else who's willing to share in the excitement of awakening."

Hee-Joon left the registration office after finalizing his course selections, excited to begin his journey to becoming a skilled hunter.

Hee-Joon was eager to learn about the various types of monsters that he might encounter during his hunts. From the powerful behemoths to the nimble goblins, he wanted to know everything there was to know about them.

He was particularly interested in the mana crystals and how they worked. He knew that mana stones were essential for hunters as they provided a boost to their abilities, and being able to extract them efficiently would be a valuable skill to have.

Overall, Hee-Joon was excited to start his training and couldn't wait to see where this journey would take him. He was determined to put his heart and soul into learning everything he could and become a skilled hunter who could take on any challenge that came his way.

The first class on his schedule was a basic Porter course, and he quickly made his way to the classroom. Upon entering, he noticed that most of the students had already arrived and were waiting for the faculty to begin the lesson.

As he scanned the room for a place to sit, he spotted Hyun-Soo, the quiet student he had met earlier. Remembering their brief conversation, Hee-Joon walked over and took a seat next to him. To his disappointment, Hyun-Soo seemed uninterested in making conversation and instead was lost in his phone.

Undeterred, Hee-Joon began to observe his fellow classmates and the classroom environment.

The faculty, Mr. Lee, entered the room with an air of authority, introducing himself as a seasoned hunter with years of experience. He began the lesson by addressing the eager students, setting the stage for the importance of porter duties in dungeon expeditions.

"As a porter," Mr. Lee began, "your role is not to be taken lightly. You will be the lifeline of the team, responsible for carrying the assets of other hunters and providing vital supplies during dungeon raids."

"You'll be tasked with carrying backpacks filled with essential items—medicines, potions, and whatever the team may need to survive and thrive in the treacherous depths of the dungeon. Your contributions may not always be glamorous, but they are absolutely crucial to the success of the mission." continued his lecture.

"Remember, without a well-equipped and capable porter, the entire team's performance and safety may be compromised."

"You are the backbone, the support system that ensures the hunters can focus on their combat skills while relying on your logistical expertise."

Mr. Lee continued his lecture, delving further into the requirements of becoming a porter. He emphasized that physical strength and stamina were essential attributes for those aspiring to take on the role.

"As porters, you will encounter physically demanding tasks," Mr. Lee explained.

"You'll be responsible for carrying heavy loads, traversing challenging terrains, and engaging in various physical activities during dungeon expeditions. This job requires not only brute strength but also endurance and resilience." Mr. Lee continued.

As Instructor Mr. Lee concluded his lecture on the tasks and responsibilities of porters, he instructed the trainees to proceed to the training facility dedicated to porters.

Hee-Joon and the other trainees followed Mr. Lee to the facility, where they were shown various dummy porter bags that were kept for training purposes.

"Alright, everyone, pay close attention," Mr. Lee called out, gathering the trainees around him.

"I will now demonstrate how to distribute the porter bag's contents efficiently during a raid." Mr. Lee continued.

"First, you need to locate the potion storing slots," Mr. Lee explained, pointing to specific areas on the porter bag.

"From there, you'll move on to the food storage and water bottle slots." He stressed the importance of knowing the location of each item for a successful and speedy raid.

As Hee-Joon observed, Mr. Lee demonstrated how to handle the Porter bag with precision. Different types of items were carefully organized, showcasing the practicality of the design. Hee-Joon jotted down notes, eager to remember the crucial details pointed out by Mr. Lee.

With the demonstration complete, Mr. Lee divided the trainees into groups.

"Now, it's time for you to practice what you've learned," he announced.
