9 First Gate
"PR emergency?" Yoonho asked Byeol after seeing him hurriedly running out of the re-evaluation room.
The online page of the Association was updated just moments ago and the reporters must have realised it.
"Do you need any help?" He asked Byeol who was about to open the doors to the exit.
"Hmm. I think I can take care of it." He opened the door and came face to face with hundreds of cameras and microphones, all pointed towards him.
One of the reporters jumped forward and asked Byeol while pushing his microphone forward.
"Mr. Go Byeol! Any specific reason why you have joined the Korean Hunter's Association?"
Byeol had already prepared his business smile and replied, "I feel that working under my father can help me learn more about being a Hunter faster and more efficiently."
Another jumped up and asked him, "Mr. Go Byeol! Your wings are currently a hot topic on Social media! Do you have anything to add?"
"These wings help me in using my skills but are extremely tiring to deal with in my daily life."
Another person tried to ask him a question but Byeol made a hand sign behind his back which only the guards of the Association were able to see. They surrounded Byeol and declared that it was over for the interview and that they would escort him out of the premises.
Byeol thanked them and followed them into the building. He then gave a few of his Business Cards to Yoonho and the S-Rankers and then quickly left the building with his mother.

Two weeks had passed since the day Byeol was classified as an S-Rank. Today will be his first proper Gate clearing.
In these two weeks, he had returned back to his company and completed all the jobs that needed his supervision at the earliest. After awakening, the effects were not only physical but we're mental too. Now he didn't get bored or become mentally exhausted, so he didn't need any kind of breaks. His mind also seemed to run a lot faster than before, completely days of work in hours.
With so much of his work done, he had agreed to his father's request to clear a B-Rank Gate on his own.
He flew to the venue and arrived within a few seconds. There he saw a large blue circle that was floating in front with hundreds of barriers sealing it off. He could also see many other groups of people. Some had pickaxes while some others held large carts. These were the mining and collecting team.
He landed on the ground in front of the gate, grabbing the attention of everyone present. A man wearing a black suit and carrying a clipboard walked up to him and asked if he needed anything.
Byeol shook his head and asked the man to keep the mining and collecting teams ready. The man informed him that they are ready to go the moment he is done with the gate.
Without saying anything else, Byeol entered the gate. On the other side was a dense forest. He materialised his sword and flew upwards. A few dozen metres above the ground he stopped himself and observed his surroundings. It was filled with dense trees for as far as his eyes could see.
He shifted his body to the right and dodged the hundreds of arrows that were about to hit him. He looked down towards the direction from which the arrows came from but suddenly more arrows were shot towards him from the completely opposite direction.
This time instead of dodging he incinerated all the arrows using his sword. Immediately different kinds of visions played in his mind. The visions showed the location of the monsters that launched the last set of arrows.
He swooped down towards them and appeared in the middle of a herd of Centaurs, who were still in the action of pulling back their bows. Before any of them could realise what happened, Byeol swung his sword.
The entire herd was immediately obliterated.
"Oh fuck." Byeol cursed himself because he forgot to not disintegrate the monsters as their bodies are quite precious.
*Zoom zoom* Byeol cut down more arrows that were heading for his head. The arrows had weaved between the trees of the forest. Before another set of arrows could hit him he flew directly towards the other herd. His wings tore apart the trees and plants in his path apart without a single feather being harmed.
He appeared in front of the second herd and swung his sword again. But instead of "burn", he willed for the sword to "cut". This time instead of the entire body being obliterated, only a small section of the body vaporized.
The centaurs fell dead with various chunks of their body removed from existence. Byeol looked down towards his sword and nodded his head in satisfaction.
He did the same with three more tribes before going back towards the gate.
*Boom Boom*
He suddenly heard loud booming sounds which sounded a lot like footsteps. He flew upwards and saw a large part of the forest rising up from the ground.
"Wait wait!" Byeol desperately tried to stop the boss from waking up. The mining and collecting of the resources was still left. But it was of no effect.
He shook his head and made a dive towards the boss which was also a Centaur except it was almost 4 stories tall.
When he arrived in front of the Centaur he cut the limbs off. It suddenly started regenerating it's legs back which seemed to anger Byeol for some reason.
He grabbed the throat of the Centaur and picked it up. Tens of thousands of kilos being lifted by him using a single arm. His wings kept both him and the Centaur afloat.
Byeol twisted his arm and threw the Centaur. It crashed through hundreds of trees before stopping down. The monster tried to get up but before it could even twitch a single muscle Byeol appeared above the monster and kicked it towards the ground.
He took his sword and jammed it into the stomach of the monster. He finely controlled the flames of his sword to prevent the Centaur from regenerating but also to not kill it.
He left the sword inside and flew back towards the gate.
