Part 2 recording began.

The first part focused on introducing the ten hunters and explaining this special episode, but the second part included a talk show with Q&A.

“Among the gates you’ve cleared so far, is there a gate that stands out most in your memory? Shall we hear the story?”

“Um… 5 years ago, the Aclass gate that was opened on Namiseom Island is what I remember most.”

Oh… the audience was abuzz. The ‘Namiseom Aclass gate’ that Windmaker spoke of appeared on August 7, 2026.

At that time, the association had measured this gate as Aclass, but the boss monster that appeared, the ‘Eye of the Demon,’ was a staggering Lv.76.

The average level of monsters in an Aclass gate ranged from 41 to 60. So, the alltoocommon ‘gate error phenomenon’ had occurred at that time as well.

A monster above level 70 required at least five Aclass hunters to strategically fight to defeat it. Otherwise, the participation of an Sclass hunter was absolutely necessary.

Unfortunately, at that time, there were no Sclass hunters among those first deployed, and there were only three Aclass hunters.

While struggling tremendously in the boss fight, ‘Doctor Plant’ made an entrance like a comet. The master of Rose Guild and the most famous healer in Korea, one of the six Sclass hunters in Korea.

“My God, Doctor Plant, you say?”

The recording studio began to stir. The MC, unable to hide his excitement, asked an unscripted question.

“What was Doctor Plant like?”

“Just as beautiful and dignified as she seemed on screen. Her abilities were beyond imagination. Her summoned petals wrapped our wounds, and the vines she created moved the injured safely out of the gate. It was an extraordinary sight.”

“Indeed, Sclass hunters are on another level.”

“Yes. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t be here. After clearing the gate, I went to see her, and she─.”

Windmaker went on to recount the events of that day in great detail. The experience of clearing a gate with Doctor Plant seemed to be quite a remarkable one. It could have been boring, but everyone was listening to Windmaker’s words.

Among the hunters gathered here, he was the only one who had worked with an Sclass hunter. That fact made him even more special.

“How is the Black Flame Princess?”

Pop.

The light turned on above Eunha. Her face was reflected on the large LED screen behind.

“What was the most memorable gate for you?”

Eunha closed her mouth at the MC’s question. A slight static flowed through the studio.

‘A memorable gate.’

For a brief moment, Eunha recalled all the gates she had cleared. There were literally ‘countless’ ones.

If she had to pick one that stood out, it would be the Unknown Gate where she was trapped for a long time.

‘But I can’t answer that here.’

Holding the microphone, pondering what to say, Eunha slowly opened her mouth.

“…There are too many to remember clearly.”

Tsk. Someone’s sneer could be heard.

“You’ve only cleared two gates so far; are you saying those two were too overwhelming?”

A hunter sitting in the general hunter seat openly mocked. That became the trigger, and another hunter spoke up.

“Don’t be too blunt with the criticism. Concept hunters might feel that way. Their main activity isn’t gates, after all.”

From afar, a writer was seen looking at the PD’s face. But the PD did nothing to stop them or halt the recording, just watching the recording studio with arms crossed.

With the nature of recorded broadcasting, any problematic part could simply be edited out.
“Apparently, he even took down a highlevel monster. What’s there to regret that you’re sticking to your concept? It’s not like it pays anyway.”

Another regular hunter asked. The audience fell silent. In the frozen atmosphere of the arena, a hunter abruptly stood up.

“Will you stop?”

He was a hunter sitting at the far left of the concept hunters, wearing a traditional Korean hat. He seemed unable to conceal his fiery temper as he slammed his tightly clenched fist on the table with a bang!

“Such words aren’t in the script.”

“Is there a rule that we can only say what’s in the script? Then the broadcast won’t be fun.”

“Everyone’s curious, aren’t they? Why the new star mercenary of the wolves is playing the concept while wearing a dress. Right?”

Regular hunters, concept hunters, the audience, and even the staff all eyes were fixed on Eun Ha.

“That’s correct. I’ve only cleared two gates.”

Eun Ha slowly opened her mouth.

“But that’s not because I’m a concept hunter.”

Eun Ha turned her head towards the hunter standing alone on the far left, wearing a traditional Korean hat.

“This hunter here cleared six gates just this year.”

“…….”

The hatwearing hunter slowly unclenched his fist. Did that woman remember the words he had casually mentioned in the waiting room?

Eun Ha turned her attention from him to the regular hunters, and slyly licked her red, curled lips.

“How many gates have you cleared this year?”

“…….”
“…….”
