And a few days later.

As if to prove the power of the Wolf Guild, Jehwi brought work for Eunha, who was measured as Frank, as if to show off.

“……How?”

Eunha slowly blinked her eyes while checking the gate deployment schedule. The total number of personnel deployed was twenty.

15 members of the ‘Roar’ Guild,

2 Gatherers,

2 Porters, and

Support: Princess of Black Flame – Wolf

Eunha’s nickname was tacked on at the very end like a tail.

In the case of the lowestranked F, it’s not only in Korea, but it’s hard to find work anywhere in the world. They say that if you are measured as Frank, you should quit being a hunter right away and return to your main job.

“I told you. In front of the Wolf’s name, rank is not important.”

Jehwi puffed out his shoulders triumphantly.

He had a reason to. In gate conquest, the recruitment of Frank hunters was mainly limited to ‘gatherers’.

Gatherers mainly collected and transported resources inside the gate, such as ore needed for research, plants, monster corpses, and other spoils. Similar jobs include porters, who simply carry loads.

Combatants could receive a portion of the spoils’ sales amount in addition to the basic payment according to the difficulty of the gate. However, gatherers and porters were akin to temporary workers or parttimers.

There were not many guilds kind enough to pay a high allowance to an Frank hunter, who would be of no help in combat.

“Guilds are mostly greedy. Even a Crank gate makes good money, so they hate to give even one spot to an outside hunter. It’s an unavoidable thing since it’s a group of hunters gathered for profit.”

Underground parking lot. Jehwi, getting into the car, shrugged his shoulders.

“But doesn’t a guild like Wolf have even one Crank gate conquest right?”

Eunha, who had taken her eyes off the schedule, looked at Jehwi, who was gripping the steering wheel.

“From the beginning, Wolf doesn’t even participate in Crank gate auctions. There’s no need.”

There were fewer guild members low enough to be deployed in a Crank gate, and Wolf Guild members trained in the ‘simulated gate’ at the guild’s exclusive training center, fighting battles close to real combat.

A ‘simulated gate’, created by gathering enchantment hunters. It was Wolf’s own training system, something that set them apart from other guilds.

“But if I had known something like this would happen, I would have bid for at least one Crank gate in advance, the president said.”

You never know, soon he might sweep all the lower gates. Jehwi turned the steering wheel, grinning playfully.

In addition to that, he kept talking nonstop about how many bottles of soju he emptied to get this gate, how important this debut stage would be for future hunter activities, what would be good for tonight’s dinner menu, whether this air freshener scent was to her taste, etc… His chatter continued without pause until they arrived at their destination.

Jehwi parked the car in a suitable place, and he and Eunha walked towards the gate entrance. Many hunters had already arrived and were waiting.

Somehow, it seemed that all their eyes were on Eunha.

Was it because of the recent internet buzz? Was it because of this annoyingly flashy outfit? Or perhaps for a simpler reason?

The hunter society was subtly hierarchical, and the possibility was great that the fact that the most novice Frank Black Flame Princess arrived last did not sit well.

“Hunter, here.”

Jehwi held out a small backpack to Eunha.

“What’s this?”

“I brought it just in case it might be needed. A first aid kit, bottled water, wet towels, and a wireless charger.”

Eunha stared at it intently.

“Is there anything else you might need?”

Jehwi tilted his head. However, Eunha shook her head and took the backpack.

“It’s okay. Thank you.”
“Please don’t mention it. Ah, by the way, there’s a BJ among the hunters participating in the gate today. It’s a chance to be on the broadcast, so it would be good for you to stand next to that BJ if possible. He’s the man wearing the red hooded tee.”

“Yes.”

“Um, and also……”

“The entrance has opened. I’ll go take a look.”

“Ah. Go ahead! Fighting!”

Jehwi clenched both hands tightly. Eun Ha turned away with a faint smile.

“We will open the gate! Hunters, please stand in three rows, and collectors, please enter behind them!”

Hunters scattered here and there lined up in turn.

“Hold on, you there.”

“…….”

“You, in the black dress.”

Someone put a hand on her shoulder. Turning her head, she saw a wellbuilt man looking down at her.

“Frank should stand in the back row. What are you doing confidently in the first row?”

Tittering, stifled laughter came from the surroundings.

“I…… didn’t know.”

Thump. Eun Ha nonchalantly brushed off the hand on her shoulder and retreated to the back row. As she did, something seemed to displease the man, who scowled.
