chapter 208 – First Sight(4)
"Is it possible to deliver?"
"Yes." Lee Manwoo, who checked then ten artifacts Kang Shin-hyuk had prepared, let out a sigh.
"This level deserves a bonus. You've improved your skills again, but how did you improve sofast?"
"Where'd all of this come from? We just finished." Lee Na-hee sounded a bit upset as she responded.
She wasn't very happy with the idea that Kang Shin-hyuk was hiding too many things from his partner.
"I will also accept the next request. Are there many people looking for artifacts these days?"
"Tons. As the number of gates increases, the number of new awakenings does as well.
You've heard of the new superhuman training center to beestablished?"
"Yes, I heard." No one knew when they would awaken. Those who did so during childhood were treated as elites by the time they attended a superhuman school like Shinyoung, as they had their whole life to learn and accumulate skills systematically.
That was what the superhuman training center was for: to educate superhumans in the most urgent common sense combat methods over a short period of six months. However, as gates exploded in occurrence after the previous raid, the number of awakened people increased as a result.
The original training center couldn't handle all these people, so a new one had to be established. That would explain why Shin Eunah was so busy, as all those new superhumans neededteachers.
"But we're dealing with high-ranking guilds, so don't rushit."
"Yes, our brand will be going premium. I have to make a high-end logo." Lee Na-hee seemed to be thinking about the brand's logo these days.
It was something Kang Shin-hyuk had never thoughtof.
"It'll be a year or so until I graduate, so we must firmly establish our brand's position."
"Can I get your autograph?"
"How about K&L? Its official name is K&LWorks…"
"My name in front…?" Kang Shin-hyuk snorted, but Lee Manwoo looked a little surprised.
"Na-hee, you…"
"Oh, what is it? You're still there, grandpa?
Let's work quickly." Lee Na-hee beckoned for her grandfather to go away, her face subtly red, but it was Kang Shin-hyuk who stood up.
"Oh, I'll go early today too. There is a call for the Wyvern Knights. Teacher, let's leavetogether."
"…Do I have togo?"
"Yes." Lee Na-hee pouted, but Shin-hyuk didn't notice as he packed his bag.
Then, Lee Na-hee put on her jacket and rebuttoned the shirt she hadreleased.
"Then, I want to go seeEllie."
"Are you going to fight withus?"
"Then, I'll play with Karen."
"That…"
"Let's hurry!" Lee Na-hee grabbed his hand and started to run, leaving Lee Manwoo laughing alone as he saw them off.

As soon as he arrived, he expected Eleanor would start dueling with him as usual, but today there was a man he hadn't seen in a while in the center of the outdoor battleground.
Overwhelming size, a muscular body. He swung his greatsword with all hisstrength.
"Douglas Payne?"
