Michael Douglas.

A Hunter with a reputation as the strongest S-class Hunter.

Skill is also skill, but he was a person who was respected by many people for his many good deeds.

Michael Douglas was the one who stepped into the dangerous battlefield before anyone else and kept peace on Earth by attacking many gates and monsters.

Almost 10 years have passed since he suddenly disappeared, but many people still missed him.

‘Is it that Michael Douglas has been in the demon realm for a while?’

I can’t be sure yet.

All I can know is that they have the same name and that they use magical powers.

But the more I thought about it, the more plausible the hypothesis was.

In the case of appearance, it can be changed as much as it wants with magic.

‘If, like Rain, he fell into this demon realm for an unknown reason, and disguised himself with magic to survive.’

everything makes sense

He is strangely familiar with the cultures of the Earth, even using magical powers.

And it was also possible to explain why Michael suddenly disappeared and never returned.

‘It must have been that they couldn’t find a way to return from the Pandemonium that suddenly fell away.’

According to Cedric, it was still difficult to find a way to go to another dimension, especially to Earth, because the difficulty was very high.

‘It’s a little nice to see you.’

When we were on Earth, the position of Michael and I was the difference between heaven and earth.

Michael was one of the strongest hunters that everyone recognized, and I was a student who started training at the academy.

It was a difficult level to pass through.

After some time, he became an S-class hunter, but at that time Michael disappeared, so Michael would not know the existence of Kang In-hyeok.

However, I thought I was the only person from Earth in this world of demons, and the fact that there was one more person was a little comforting.

‘I’m in no position to reveal that fact.’

It’s still a situation where you can’t completely trust Michael.

When we became more acquainted and completely trustworthy, it felt like we should open up and talk.

‘Besides, if he’s definitely from Earth, his strength is unexpected.’

No matter how much Michael was the strongest hunter, on Earth, at most, 600 units would have been the limit.

But now Michael has over a thousand abilities.

It was a story that raised his abilities almost twice as much in this Demon Realm.

‘Considering my case, it’s not impossible.’

It is the case of a normal demon tribe.

I had an excellent lineage of being the son of the Great Demon King, had excellent Evil Force, and became strong quickly in a short period of time because I received the help of my skills.

It was difficult for a normal human being.

‘What… I’ll have to check it out later.’

I naturally started a conversation while eating food.

“It seems to have a unique taste that is different from that of the Demon World.”

“It’s nice to meet a student who can do this. But you seem to be interested in Earth.”

“I am very interested in other dimensions besides Earth. That’s why I joined the Other World Exploration Club.”

“Ohh? Is there such a coincidence? I am also the professor in charge of that club.”

“yes? I know that Professor Cedric is in charge of the Other World Exploration Club, isn’t it?”

“Professor Cedric is right, and I am also right. It would be comfortable to think of me as an associate professor.”

Thinking about it, I remembered what Cedric had said before.

I am in charge of other clubs, but there is a professor who wants to join the other world exploration club.

‘right. It must have been Michael Douglas in charge of the cooking club.’

It seemed that he was in charge of both clubs.

“Is the professor in charge of the cooking club by any chance?”

“How did know? right. That’s why I was able to study the various Earth foods.”

It seemed that the other world exploration club was researching ways to return to Earth, and the cooking club was researching earth foods.

‘It seems surprisingly easy to get along with.’

As long as he knew that Michael was from Earth, the way to win his favor was simple.

All you have to do is have a conversation in a field related to the earth.

In the first place, I also had no one to talk to about the earth, but it was rather a welcome situation to meet like this.

“If you are interested in other foods, let me try them later.”

“I look forward to it.”

It would have been a great welcome if I could also taste the food of the earth.

Not from the same region or country, but from the same planet. Michael’s presence gave me a strange sense of relief.

So I was able to make a new relationship.

* * *

The craze for quests is spreading more and more maniacally.

As the number of students who became stronger as rewards increased, obtaining quests became a competitive situation.

of course.

‘Not me.’

In the first place, there was no quest suitable for the level, so he was unable to do anything.

At least, it was comforting that the opponents in sparring became more diverse after meeting Michael.

‘I haven’t tried it yet, but it seems to be of great help.’

Michael might be able to use skills as well.

Maybe you have the ability to check the status window like me.

Of course, in my case, the help of Sebastian fused with the Hunter Launcher was great, and it was unlikely that the same situation would have happened to Michael.

In any case, they weren’t close enough to reveal their secrets yet, so it was true that they needed more time.

“by the way… .”

I turned my head and looked at the uninvited guest next to me.

“Aren’t you going on a quest?”

“Why should I do such unproductive work?”

An uninvited guest who clicks his tongue with a look of exasperation.

She was Serena.

“There must be many things you can get through quests.”

“You can get any number of artifacts and elixirs. It’s a specification to be bothered to move just because of that.”

Certainly, it seemed that if she was the daughter of the Succubus Queen, she would be able to get pretty good things.

However, since the quest also had the effect of strengthening oneself, one should not simply think of rewards.

“Aren’t you weak? Think of becoming stronger by rolling a little more.”

“Who is weak… ! No, I’m weak compared to you… ”

Serenia lowering her tail right in my gaze.

The confidence and arrogance of when we first met are long gone.

It’s only natural since he’s already been badly beaten by me and his weakness has been caught.

“So why are you hanging around here?”

Serenia did not practice much.

No, it could have been done separately from behind, but at least it didn’t show that way in front of me.

However, the fact that they came to the training ground now means that they clearly have a purpose.

“Ah, that… .”

After hesitating for a moment, Serenia struggled to open her mouth.

“… Help.”

“What are you asking for help with? Speak straight.”

“That’s it… .”

Serenia explained her situation.

“Do you remember the Queen’s Mirror that you broke last time?”

“It’s a mirror… I remember you.”

It was an artifact that became a great threat when combined with Serenia’s trap.

“To perfectly repair the Queen’s mirror, special materials are needed… I can get it through a quest.”

“therefore?”

“It’s a bit difficult to go through the quest alone. I need your help.”

In a word, it was a story of asking for help on a quest.

“Why should I?”

“You damaged the Queen’s mirror!”

“It happened because you attacked me.”

Nonsense from my point of view.

It was the opponent who dug a trap and attacked.

Rather, it was normal to be grateful for not completely destroying the mirror.

“that… Right. I’m so sorry. I will apologize again.”

Serenia apologized even while bowing her head.

Considering her usual attitude, it was definitely unusual.

‘What’s going on?’

No matter how weak I was, I wasn’t the type to bow down like that.

“To be honest, I will think about it.”

“under… .”

Serenia let out another deep sigh.

Seeing that his face was full of worry, it didn’t seem like a normal problem.

“… My mother said to send the Queen’s Mirror back.”

When it comes to her mother, I mean Carina, the succubus queen.

“If you send it in a damaged state, you’ll get a big scolding.”

“Right. I bought some more time saying there are still places to use it, but… Eventually you will have to send it back. So, I have to fix it… .”

“I’m sure you said earlier that you don’t do anything unproductive.”

“I have to do it because it is productive this time.”

After hearing it, I wasn’t wrong.

“What is the quest for?”

Although broken properly by me, Serenia is also a strong student.

He specialized in utilizing others rather than his personal strength, but even so, he had the ability to solve quite a few quests.

It seemed that it wouldn’t be a normal difficulty if she was asking for it.

“It’s a mission to visit a certain area and find something there.”

“Find something… .”

I had seen many missions in the form of hunting monsters in the quest list, but this was the first time.

“Strange. Originally, fighting power wouldn’t be so necessary for that kind of side, right?”

If you use Serenia’s ability, you will be able to easily find things using many subordinates.

“… The area where the item is located is a problem.”

“A region?”

“Because the quest area is Duke Ethlon’s castle.”

I don’t know who.

However, if you are a duke, your rank is never low.

Besides, if Serenia, the daughter of the succubus queen, cares about her, it probably isn’t just because of her status.

“Duke Ethlon is the leader of the Demon Wolf clan. And they have a bad relationship with the succubus clan.”

“Hmm.”

Listening to her, it was clear.

Entering the territory of the opponent with whom you are not on good terms, it is obviously dangerous for Serenia to stir around using her abilities there.

Just walking around could cause problems.

“So you’re saying you want me to be your escort?”

“It’s similar, if you ask me. However… I’m never going to look at you lightly and ask for a favor. I ask you because you are strong.”

“Hmm… .”

If you just listen to the story, it doesn’t seem that difficult.

I don’t know how wide that place is, but Serenia had an idea, so she must have tried to take on the mission.

the problem is.

“If the difficulty of the mission is low, I cannot join.”

Until now, the quests I could do had not appeared.

Because of this, participation in the quest was semi-forced.

Even if I wanted to help, there was no way if it was a quest that I couldn’t do.

“No worries about that. Because I already checked everything. It’s a mission you can take on.”

Seeing that he had done all his research beforehand, he seemed very urgent.

It was a valuable artifact borrowed from my mother, so it wasn’t that I couldn’t understand it.

“You just have to go with me. I will try to make as little fuss as possible.”

“Is that enough?”

“yes.”

“great. Let me go with you.”

I wanted to do it, but I couldn’t do it because there was no quest, and I was getting tired of just training.

There was nothing bad about it from my point of view.

“I will explain the details as I go. First of all, let’s move quickly. The magic circle prepared separately.”

Serenia hurriedly moved on.

I stayed where I was watching it.

“What are you doing? We have to move quickly.”

Serenia, with a flushed expression, urged.

“okay. It’s good to move fast. But are you forgetting something?”

“You mean you forgot?”

I raised the corner of my mouth as I saw Serenia putting on a puzzled expression.

“What can I get in return for helping you?”

A situation in which you are together at the request of the other party.

At least I didn’t intend to work for free.
