This is Seoul, South Korea.

To test the aggressiveness of the hunters, she suddenly raised the level of dungeon difficulty that is going on.

“UR Level? With this level of power? Ah fuck. I’m speechless.”

“I barely managed to get assigned for a R level, but I’m not good enough for UR level.”

“This is ridiculous, raid leader. We need to go outside and ask for help right now!”

“There are only five hours left. It’s a limited-staffed quest dungeon, so the portal outside must have already closed, so how do you expect to get external support and what about the civilians inside?”

“Hey! You are the iron bowl of heroism, so you might be worried about the civilians inside, but for me, my mother, who will live alone when I die, is more important! Do you understand?”

The effect was great.

Since he belongs to the former team 1, Tak Lamin was at least a B-class hunter.

So the average D-class hunters rolled their eyes at him.

The main culprit of this situation,

The three high rankers.

Gyeon Zio (1st Place/S-rank), Hwang Hon (6th place/S-rank), and Yoon Eui-seo (29th place/A-rank) stood a little farther apart and watched the unexpected argument.

Zio (1st place) tossed the ball first.

.

“Um… well, life is a life, there are moments when it is completely broken, aren’t there…?”

‘Of course not me.’

Hwang Hon (6th place), who had been smoking a lot, quickly took the opportunity and hit the spikes.

“…That’s right. Wow I also don’t really know? I’ve been through difficulty adjustments, credit rating adjustments, and there were times where I wasn’t sure if I would lose my mind or not. It hurts, it’s youth.”

‘Of course he hasn’t been in any pain.’

A fantastic collaboration made by the S-ranks.

Yoon Eui-seo (29th), who was a normal person, looked at the two with a blank look, but the two of them neatly ignored him.

“I don’t think it’s something to be so angry about. Everyone is so aggressive.”

“That’s exactly what I thought. I totally agree. Wow, girl, are you maybe my lost twin? Wow, do you think the same? Do you want to be my younger sister? Just by looking at it, I can see that you are cute like a cat.”

“Eh? Isn’t your younger brother Hwang Jang? It goes all over the place.”

“…perhaps. I was politely asking if you want to change your name to Hoogsi or Hwang Jang. Lowering Casket.”

Hwang Hon started to calm down a bit and it seemed to have been a wake up call for him.

In the middle of talking to Gyeon Zio he suddenly started pretending he wasn’t calm and started tearing up a bit.

Difficulty re-adjustment, overly calm attitude, etc. they would slowly start getting suspicious.

Zio accepted that strange look with a smirk.

What are you looking at?

‘It’s not like I’ve been hiding my skills for 10 years just to get caught by a gangster tofu.’

〈Rankers who hide their power〉

Excluding China, this was a fairly frequent phenomenon in Northeast Asia, especially in Korea, where the ratio of rankers to land was high.

Since it was not uncommon, even the slightest mistake was likely to attract suspicion.

That’s why Zio had been blocked before meeting with the center people due to the ‘Dungeon Rage.’

Gyeon Zio’s strength and breathing today was absolutely perfect. Perfect.

What happened the last time at the tower was an exception.

Unless it’s a sudden situation like that time, the probability that others will notice Zio’s identity is quite low.

The teacher who taught her how to restrain herself was Tiger, because the psychology of suppressing power was almost obsessive.

Zio unconsciously touched the scar on the palm of her hand.

It was already 10 years ago.

「Is your name Zio? Oh.」

「…」

「Yeah… I see. It’s you. Jo. You are ‘Jo’.」

「Who are you Ahjussi?」

「Me?」

The man spoke leisurely, showing that he was having fun introducing himself.

「I am Silver Lion’s Tiger. From now on, I will be your protector, teacher, and… if you will allow me, I want to become your friend.”

A man who seems to have been carved out of a cool bronze.

His ripe smile smelled of incense and light tobacco.

‘Tiger.’

He was the first top ranker that young Gyeon Zio met.

***

Article 8 Paragraph 1 of the Awakened Special Act.

A Korean national who is a preliminary awakened person shall faithfully engage in training to adapt to his/her abilities through a national institution, as stipulated by this Act.

However, an exception is made if the age of the pre-awakened person is under 14 years.

“You’re right. Children under the age of 14 are not subject to compulsory education. You sure took a good look at it, haven’t you? But this is a different case.”

The long-awaited birth of Korea’s first S-rank.

It was right after Zio’s name ‘registration’ was over.

After some tidying up.

Although the center has mentioned the mandatory education of the registered awakeners (star spoons) after the first awakening.

It seems that they didn’t plan on having a child memorize the relevant provisions.

「Don’t you know, Zio-yang? It’s dangerous to leave it like this. To both Miss Zio and others.」

Jang Il-hyun, the team leader, begged as if he was pleading.

Please hide your identity.

She absolutely hates the idea of telling her mother, and she doesn’t want to be educated.

All of the requirements were so reckless that it made one choke, but that elementary school was the first S-class in Korea.

Considering it was the request of the hero who saved the country, he felt humble.

So, if possible, he wanted to grant them all, but…

This couldn’t be conceded.

Just imagine. A nine-year-old nuclear bomb walking around unattended!

Jang Il-hyun followed her along and began a long series of persuasion.

Sometimes they would hide in front of Saebyeol Elementary School and wait under the ballet academy.

Or sometimes they would pretend it’s an accidental meeting at the playground.

The effort was virtual (inconvenient) and she sat down to see if she could hear it.

There was a card that was pushed towards Zio.

「How about 1:1 tutoring?」

「I have many academies I must attend to. Bye.」

“I, please… you don’t have to think of it as education. Trust me just

 once and see. He is a very good hunter. He is the most recognised in the field of control. It will definitely, really help.”

[Your contractor, ‘Reader of Fate’ advises you to accept that offer.]

‘Why? Unni said you could control it.’

Even Little Zio had her own beliefs about stretching this way.

It was an excessive amount of power compared to her immature body, but until now, the contractor had taken control of it.

Hasn’t she been living well since her awakening?

However, the contractor had a different opinion.

[He informs you that the frequent opening of stigmata can cause your small body to collapse.]

[He expresses concern saying if the cat’s body collapses oppa’s mentality will collapse too.]

‘…Incompetence itself.’

[Babel Baby Monitoring Mode on – Filters out high-level remarks.]

‘swear word? Did you swear? just now?’

[The deity, ‘Reader of Fate’ jumps up at you for saying such a horrible thing.]

[He didn’t swear, but he thinks Babel is suffering from heat. He is not used to your age, so he coughs in vain saying that he will be careful from now on.]

In fact, he’s a noisy and goofy star, but Zio knows very well.

They share their destiny every moment.

And he will watch her until the last steps, just like he promised.

They give it to themselves more than anyone else in the world.

Therefore, she knew that it was right to follow his advice.

Even the people in the center were amazed saying this was the first time they had seen such a devoted deity.

‘I really don’t want to go…’

Can’t you help?

And so, the deity’s judgement was accurate once again.

「Zio! What’s wrong with you? Zio, o-oh my God, who are you?」

「Please move away. I’m from the management department.」

It was the day before she promised to visit the center.

The child, who suddenly collapsed during ballet class, was hurriedly taken away by the agents who watched over her while undercover.

Inspection results

Forced load blocking status due to out of control phenomenon.

There were many days where Little Zio couldn’t wake up.
