Sister of the Ranking 1st (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 36

Lee Ryeo Hyun looked visibly disgruntled, complaining that three people should be more than enough—so why weren’t they going yet? I thought to myself: How could it possibly be enough?

Swallowing the sigh welling up inside me, I first asked about the situation outside.

In response to my question, Lee Ryeo Hyun replied:

“Oh, outside? It’s serious. They’re in chaos over internal meetings and discussions among themselves. No official directive to raid has even been issued, and the relatives of those trapped are making a huge fuss, crying and screaming. The order was to hold off entering until information verification is complete.”

“…And then?”

“Are they insane? People are probably dying right now—what’s there to wait for? So I came first.”

It was truly a mad reply. Even if he was S-rank, was it really okay to blatantly violate the Hunter Special Law?

Moreover, it seemed Lee Ryeo Hyun had acted entirely on his own initiative, without even internal discussion within Am Wol.

Ultimately, his actions had saved many lives—but crazy was still crazy.

“Hmm. Well, I suppose you’ve been trapped inside all this time, so you wouldn’t know what’s happening outside. Fine. I, Baek Ya, shall explain.”

I suddenly recalled the old saying that Rankers’ wits were all misplaced somewhere.

“You know this Gate is estimated to be S-rank, right? ‘Unknown’ is just what happens when luck goes horribly wrong. Attributes include Death and Darkness—both manifested. And Death attribute is notoriously insane, isn’t it? Normally, even to clear a single S-rank Gate, you’d need one S-rank plus several A-ranks forming an elite squad. But here’s the problem: there are only five S-ranks in the country. The old hag’s busy with something, the shut-in recluse isn’t even combat-oriented to begin with, one’s identity is completely unknown… and Jeok Cheon isn’t even here right now. Besides me, who else is left?”

“…I understand why you came, but won’t there be trouble if you just enter on your own?”

“That’s legal team’s problem. Anyway, I insisted on coming as vanguard and entered first, so… who knows when the backup team will actually arrive.”

His explanation was somewhat biased, but it was sufficient to grasp the situation.
