I Am The Anti-Mage

Chapter 11: Failed



Chapter 11: Failed

Seoul, at Public Hospital, hunters medical center.

“How is their condition?”

A representative from the Hunters Association was asking and looking at 20 people occupying the hospital beds.

“They will be fine in an hour. The poison isn’t deadly.”

A C-rank healer replied to the representative.

“Glad to know. But people from the Demigod guild are already here. Let me do the talk with them.”

The C-rank healer smiled and nodded. “Well, I don’t have a wicked mouth like yours. So, I’m not a match with the people from a guild.”

“Aish, you want to get a beating? Also, I do this for your sake! We should not let a guild like them possess all high-ranked healers.”

“Sure, sure. Whatever Noonim says is always right.”

“You punk!” The representative from Hunters Association sneered at C-rank healer teasing.

—- —-

At the corner of the room, a hunter from the Demigod guild was busy talking on the phone.

“It’s bad. We lost 9 E-rank hunters at tier-1 Portal Gate. And that Witch is here too.”

The person on the other end. “What is the exact situation?”

“We don’t know yet. All of our hunters are still laying down, Unconscious.”

After a moment of silence, “Don’t let that woman talk or interrogate our hunters and make sure the porters keep their mouths closed. I will come to the hospital in a few minutes.”

“Alright, sir!”

Tut, Tut–

The phone call ended. The Demigod hunter put away his phone, turned around, and looked toward the patient on the beds.

Then there was a voice directed at him.

“Hello, are you from Demigod guild?”

The hunter got approached and asked by a woman. The hunter twitched after looking to the side.

‘So, she came to me first, shamelessly?’

But the hunter didn’t dare say what he thought about the woman.

“Yes, I am.” The hunter replied nonchalantly.

The woman smiled. “Ah, I am from the Administrative division of Hunters Association, Yoon Soo-ah,” while offering a handshake.

The hunter knew the woman, even though they had never met before.

Yoon Soo-ah notorious was not a secret between all of the South Korea Guilds. An A-rank hunter specialty in Fire Magic. No one in the country could get compared to her fierceness on the battlefield.

Other than that, the most well-known one was Yoon Soo-ah’s mouth that made her famous and earned her the nickname of The Witch!

Even Chairman Yu from Hunters Association will avoid her at all costs.

“Ah, yes. Demigod guild, Im Taek-won.”

Both of them shake their hands, greeting each other.

“I’m straight to the point, Mister Im. This incident might happen again later. So, you should know how important a healer is for the hospital in our country.”

“But…”

“A guild shouldn’t keep high-rank healers to themselves. They should spare some of them to the hospital.”

“I know…”

“If the guild is not this selfish with the possession, we can save many hunters and civilian life in the past and the future.”

“That not…”

“You lucky. This time a C-rank healer is enough to save your hunters on time. What if they got wounded and poisoned by a high-grade creature?”

Im Taek-won could only gulp hearing the barrage of words by Yoon Soo-ah. He really hated and cursed the woman in his mind.

‘F*ck you uncle, what the h*ll this kind of mouth it is. She even didn’t let me talk. Hyung~nim, came faster, please!’

“What if a C-rank healer can’t do anything to your members of the guild? Should we let them die?”

“Can you give…” Im Taek-won tries to refute, but his effort got futile.

“Your guild should let the hospital have an A-rank healer, or you might consider an S-rank healer as another option for the hospital.”

‘Holy sh*t, mother***ker! She even asked for an S-rank healer?! Damn it! It’s is S-rank one that we are talking about b*tch. S-rank!’

Im Taek-won couldn’t help but keep cussed on his mind even though he didn’t dare say it aloud. He still had the courage to say it in the thought.

Long short, after being scolded for 10 minutes.

Im Taek-won felt numb, his anger already unbearable. He didn’t care anymore whether the one in front of him was The Witch of Fire or not.

If Yoon Soo-ah kept talking any longer, Im Taek-won would start a fight in this public place. Without thinking of the consequences anymore.

Tep, Tep–

Suddenly they heard footsteps coming closer to them.

“Ya, Taek-won~ah! Hyung is here!”

Hearing someone called Taek-won, Yoon Soo-ah stopped her talk and shifted her gaze to where the voice was coming.

Im Taek-won’s anger subsided. He was pleased to hear a familiar voice calling his name.

The man that just came walked toward Yoon Soo-ah’s direction and stopped at Im Taek-won’s side.

The man patted Im Taek-won’s shoulder and told him, “I handle it from here. You go to our injured members there.”

Im Taek-won nodded. “Yes, Hyung~nim.”

Yoon Soo-ah stared at the man that made Im Taek-won go away and stand in front of her. She didn’t speak immediately. She just kept looking at him.

“Ah, how rude I am without introducing myself. Demigod guild, Jung Hyun-don. Nice to meet the famous Miss Yoon.”

“Tch, a bunch of retards that didn’t know about the manner.”

Jung Hyun-don frowned while listening to Yoon Soo-ah vulgar words. But he wasn’t angry and quickly calmed down. He knew the relationship between a Guild and Hunters Association was always sour. They mocked and tried to downgrade each other despite showing cooperative manners to the public.

Yoon Soo-ah didn’t care how Jung Hyun-don felt about her attitude and words either.

“Let me repeat what I said to your Dongsaeng previously.”

But before Yoon Soo-ah could continue her ramblings, Jung Hyun-don cut her off with a stern voice.

“I’m sorry to cut you off, Miss Yoon. But this is our Demigod guild matter.

“I thank the Association for helping and saving our guild members.

“Give my gratitude to Chairman Yu.”

Jung Hyun-don then bowed to Yoon Soo-ah and left her behind.

“Jung… Hyun-don!!!” Yoon Soo-ah could only mutter the name while holding her anger.

‘How long did I need to close my eyes? If I fall asleep here, I could get into trouble with these guys.’

Kim Ji-woo felt uncomfortable after lying down for too long. And he couldn’t be the first one that wakes up in order to avoid getting questioned all over round.

Ji-woo then started to worry about his family too. Since his phone was still inside Hwang Eun-bi’s car, he couldn’t contact his mother.

Luckily, all the items in the location were brought together to the hospital, except for heavy items.

“Ah, where am I?” Eun-bi was the first one that came to her senses.

Im Taek-won instantly approached Eun-bi. “Miss Hwang, are you okay? What happened…”

“Not here.” Jung Hyun-don hastily interjected Im Taek-won’s inquiry.

Taek-won glanced at Hyun-don then nodded, understanding the meaning.

One by one, the survivor came to their senses, with the last one being the porters.

Include the porter Ji-woo as the last one that awakened from the rest.

Having all of their members woken up, Hyun-don asked the C-rank healer.

“Thank you for the help. Since the incident is not severe, I will take all of our members back with me now.

“I take the responsibility from here on.”

The C-rank healer shrugged and accepted Hyun-don’s wish.

Hyun-don then ordered Im Taek-won to take care of the porters, and he would handle their hunters.

After giving the instruction, Hyun-don was the first one that left the medical center, followed by the Demigod hunters.

Eun-bi took her time for a moment and spoke to Ji-woo. “Wait for me at the entrance later. I will come to you shortly.”

Subsequently, Im Taek-won took command of the porters after all of their hunters left the room.

“Follow me to the front. Don’t speak anything on the way. Unless I am the one asking.”

Ji-woo still follows everything obediently like a kid without throwing a tantrum.

Yoon Soo-ah was really irritated when she looked at the Demigod guild members smoothly leaving the room. And she couldn’t run havoc with carrying the Hunters Association name in the hospital carelessly.

—- —-

“Alright, all of you can go back to guild headquarter first.”

All of the porters walk in low spirits. But, when Ji-woo’s turn to go to the Demigod bus transport. He got stopped by Im Taek-won.

“Only our Demigod members can go back to the headquarter.”

‘Huh?’ Ji-woo confused, then asked Taek-won back.

“But, they are not hunters? How come they are Demigod members?”

Im Taek-won shot him back with another confused face.

“They are working for the Demigod guild, but you are just a part-timer for today’s hunt.”

“Pardon? Then what about my payment?”

Im Taek-won didn’t know whether Ji-woo was an idiot or dumb.

“Already take your belongings from inside the room, right?”

Ji-woo nodded after touching his body.

“Then you can take off the artifact suit and hand over the porter bag that used to collect Magic Crystal or Magic Stone.”

Ji-woo was surprised by the demand. He could take off the suit, but the bag was already gone after being left in the dungeon.

Ji-woo now felt that he made a huge mistake about his role in the dungeon.

However, Ji-woo’s hurdles were not over yet.

Im Taek-won stared at Ji-woo for a moment and realized something was missing. He looked at Demigod porters inside the bus.

He then looked back at Ji-woo. Asked, “Where is your artifact helmet?”

Hearing another query from Im Taek-won, Ji-woo suddenly felt he got struck by the thunder.

Ji-woo was busy plotting everything that he forgot what porters were supposed to do in the dungeon.
