.

A notice widely posted in the Holder community to fill the manpower needed for the assault on the 7th District.

Although the recruitment period was short and the notice was put up urgently, many outstanding Holders and capable clans gathered.

Reading their motivations for applying, most are similar.

Termen, Vampires, Ludenark....

Content about wanting to eliminate the Adapters who have newly emerged as enemies of humanity, and to share in that glory.

It was a moment when Kwon Young-hoon’s recruitment strategy of completely opening up the assault information hit the mark perfectly.

‘...Except for the fact that Holders I never expected applied.’

I looked at the Holders in front of me.

Park Ji-hwan, Kim Myeong-hyun, Na Hye-rin.

Names that anyone active as a Holder in Korea would have heard of.

Na Hye-rin’s application is something to welcome with open arms.

She was a Holder who handled the rather rare earth attribute among A-grade wizard types (the earth attribute itself is common, but very few high-level Holders have raised this attribute to A-grade level), and was already a proven talent even among independent Holders.

It ends with the fact that Vice Master Yoo Eun-seol personally recommended her.

For a talent like her, this interview was merely a formality.

The problem is the other two people.

“I can understand Holder Park Ji-hwan being here, but... Master, why are you here?”

I ask, clutching my throbbing head.

Park Ji-hwan seems to have applied for the interview half-jokingly, half-seriously.

He probably planned to participate in this assault as he did in the previous one, and applied like this as a surprise to tease me, the interviewer.

But why the Master?

Shouldn’t he be teaching at the Academy right now...?

“I took a vacation.”

And he neatly resolved my question.

“No, can you just take a vacation like that? It’s during the semester.”

“As it happens, a fellow professor had some free time. When I said it was a family matter, the students understood.”

“Family matter...?”

When I questioned the unexpected topic, Professor Kim Myeong-hyun smiled gently.

“My daughter keeps entering dungeons where her life might be in danger. As a father, I couldn’t just stand by and watch anymore.”

As soon as I heard those words, I immediately bowed my head.

“I’m sorry, father-in-law!!”

I have no words even if I had ten mouths.

I promised to protect his daughter for life, but in reality, I’m walking hand in hand with her into danger.

I’m a son-in-law deserving of a beating.

“It’s alright. I didn’t bring it up to blame Holder Do Jae-hyun. I was purely stating my motivation for applying.”

Fortunately, Master was merciful.

He forgave me with his usual warm smile.

Watching this, Park Ji-hwan asked me with a strange expression.

“Holder Do Jae-hyun, why aren’t you asking for my reason for applying?”

“Ugh- Please don’t use that strange polite speech. You’re just trying to tease me, aren’t you?”

Park Ji-hwan laughed heartily at my words.

“Haha. Was I caught?”

“Yes. It was very obvious.”

As expected of Park Jin-woo’s father, even the type of pranks he pulled were similar.

This mercenary recruitment notice was divided into individual and clan sections for recruitment.

While there were achievements in the individual section where many independent Holders joined, the most crucial part was still the clan section.

Various mid-sized clans that lost assault rights to the top 3 clans all applied as mercenaries.

In fact, at first, they all seemed a bit hesitant, probably worried about their reputation.

They clearly wanted to participate, but didn’t want to openly bow down to , a new clan.

‘...To think would reach out first.’

But , which seemed unlikely to participate, moved first.

The Clan Master called me directly, gladly agreeing to come as a mercenary, and cooperation was decided.

And following that, other mid-sized clans came in succession.

In fact, was a clan I didn’t view too favorably because of Jung Hyun-seok, the heir who was supposed to have a matchmaking meeting with Moon Ga-eun, but this incident somewhat cleared away that negative perception.

“We will participate in the form of dispatching clan members.”

The most unexpected was the decision of the domestic top 3 clans.

, , .

The three clans, each holding assault rights to the 7th District, completely transferred their rights to me.

The reason is simple.

While all clans participated from a grand perspective, originally the right to assault itself was held by ... And as such, they judged that was also the clan that could most efficiently assault it.

Therefore, they chose the form of directly dispatching their clan’s elite hunting teams to receive our clan’s command.

In other words, even the top 3 clans were recruited as mercenary clans under us.

...Honestly, even I was dumbfounded when I heard that decision.

-In accordance with the friendly clan agreement, we will accept the request for aid from Clan.

From overseas, the clan provided help.

The method was the same as last time, in the form of protecting Korea in preparation for the Deserters’ invasion of the current world.

It was a way to help as best as possible without infringing on each other’s interests.

Anyway, thanks to the active cooperation of Holder-related institutions both domestic and foreign like this, we were able to complete all preparations for the assault on the 7th District.

***

And the , returned to after a month.

The edge of the 6th District, .

All the forces gathered for this assault were concentrated in one place.

A force where as many as 3 S-grade Holders participated, and all the leading domestic clans participated as mercenaries.

It was literally a force that should be seen as an ‘army’.

And all those overwhelming numbers of Holders were looking at me from one place.

The edge of .

A hill where darkness had settled deeply.

I, standing alone on top of it...

Stuck a dazzlingly shining holy sword into the ground and grasped it like a support.

And quietly.

But loud enough for everyone to hear, I murmured.

“From now on, we will enter the 7th District of the Room of Deserters.”

It was the moment when a large-scale dungeon assault, to be recorded in the history of the Holder world, resumed.
