Chapter 47: Suspician of Yoo Hee-yeon.

The fact that Han Seong-gil went berserk at Broad Academy spread publicly. While few knew the specific details,

those with connections like Yoo Hee-yeon were aware that the cause of the berserk episode was likely due to the

Berserker Trait.

Normally, when a knight possessing the Berserker Trait was discovered, people would be amazed and intrigued, but

this case was slightly different.

At the Artemis Guild headquarters, the guild leader, Yoo Han-beom, sat in his chair, shuffling through papers and spoke.

“Hmm… Han Seong-gil, you said? That guy, he’s definitely got the Berserker Trait, right?”

Upon hearing this, Deputy Guild Leader Bae Gi-young responded.

“Yes, as shown in the documents, when he was found at the scene, the red eyes that appear when the Berserker Trait

manifests were confirmed. Based on the traces of battle and the mana left behind at the scene, it’s clear that he

possesses the Berserker Trait.”

“Do you think he can control the Berserker Trait?”

“…Based on the gathered information about Han Seong-gil, it seems like he’s not the type who could control it. It

doesn’t appear he’s someone driven by money either. In fact, there are records of him going berserk multiple times in

the past, so even if he does have the Berserker Trait, there’s no real merit in recruiting him into our Artemis Guild.”

The Berserker Trait. If controlled well, it could become a huge asset. As soon as the incident broke out at Broad

Academy, Yoo Han-beom quickly ordered an investigation into Han Seong-gil to determine if he was someone worth

recruiting.

He wanted to confirm whether Han Seong-gil was usable or not. If he was a suitable talent for the Artemis Guild, Yoo

Han-beom would have considered hiring him, but after reading the report, he spoke with a disappointed look.

“Hmm… An uncontrollable Berserker is worse than a cheap dagger. It’s the perfect example of ‘pearls before swine.’

Some with the Berserker Trait are able to control it, but it’s a shame. This guy has no value for us. Anyway, what

about Lee Hyun-seung? Have you looked into him properly?”

“Yes. In fact, it’s Lee Hyun-seung’s movements that are more surprising than Han Seong-gil’s.”

Bae Gi-young handed over the data on Lee Hyun-seung. It was only about three pages long—details like where he

lived, his origin, favorite places, frequent visits, purchase history, and his residence. The materials were illegally

obtained.

In contrast to Han Seong-gil, for whom there were dozens of pages of data, almost nothing existed about Lee Hyun-seung.

Yoo Han-beom glared at Bae Gi-young and spoke.

“Is this all you’ve gathered? There must be more.”

“I… I’m sorry. This is everything I could find. Ah… it seems he’s the type of person who doesn’t have much

information available…”

“Tch.”

Yoo Han-beom clicked his tongue in frustration. However, after a moment, he looked at the documents Bae Gi-

young had brought with a curious expression.

• Lechis Orphanage alumni. Age: 21. Birthday: Unknown. Entered Broad Academy as an Unawakened individual. Special Notes: Skills are in the lowest tier, but academic performance is always top-tier. Has never missed a question in any written exams. Well-regarded by instructors. After graduation, mostly stays at home, not seeking other places…

The basic personal details were all there, but one phrase stood out clearly to Yoo Han-beom’s eyes.

• Entered Broad Academy as an Unawakened individual

Yoo Han-beom tapped the text and spoke.

“Is this information correct? If Lee Hyun-seung entered Broad Academy as an Unawakened individual, that means

until recently, he was basically no different from an ordinary person. Are you sure about this?”

“Everyone around him, including the results from his aptitude test when he entered the academy, confirms that he

was an Unawakened individual… There’s no way this is wrong. He was definitely Unawakened just a few months

ago.”

“Hahaha!”

Yoo Han-beom laughed joyously for the first time.

“Is this for real? He was an Unawakened individual, and then recently awakened, and now he’s even beaten an Epic-

class Knight with the Berserker Trait while being a Gunmage?”

The events at Broad Academy. Han Seong-gil’s berserk episode, which Lee Hyun-seung had stopped single-

handedly, was also clearly detailed in the report. Yoo Han-beom then came across another phrase that made him

gasp in shock.

• Used crafting abilities during the F-Class Representative Selection. Considered a dual-Awakened individual, both a Gunmage and Blacksmith. Expected ratings: Epic-level or higher.

“Now this is tempting… really tempting… Not only is he a dual-Awakened, but in just a few months, he’s already

mastered his abilities enough to overpower a Knight?”

“I was also… surprised by that. Normally, after awakening, it takes time to adjust to one’s abilities, but Lee Hyun-

seung adapted far too quickly. In the footage from the F-Class Representative Selection, he moves like someone

who’s been using a gun for years. His movements, skill usage, and boldness—all of it shows the marks of a veteran

Gunmage. So, I investigated to see if there was a hidden instructor, but there was no trace of anyone.”

Yoo Han-beom, while watching the footage of Lee Hyun-seung from the F-Class Representative Selection, spoke to

Bae Gi-young.

“You fool. Do you really think these movements and actions could be learned in just a few months? This is innate.

There are monstrous geniuses born with natural talent. This guy… he’s a monster.”

“….!”

The story progresses with high tension and intrigue as the guild leader, Yoo Han-beom, and his subordinate, Bae Gi-

young, continue to discuss the potential recruitment of the mysterious character, Lee Hyun-seung. Yoo Han-beom,

normally stoic and strategic, shows rare excitement and fascination with Lee Hyun-seung’s abilities. Despite his

usual skepticism and calculating nature, Han-beom is genuinely intrigued by the potential of Lee Hyun-seung, who

was once a non-awakened individual but has suddenly shown extraordinary capabilities.

The tension rises when Bae Gi-young raises concerns about Lee Hyun-seung’s past, particularly a stalking incident

involving Yoo Han-beom’s daughter, Yoo Hee-yeon. While Han-beom dismisses the accusation of stalking as

unlikely, he decides to investigate Lee Hyun-seung directly. His decision is fueled by his belief in the importance of

evaluating talent firsthand, reflecting his desire for capable individuals rather than just judging based on hearsay.

In the process, we see Han-beom’s sharp and unyielding character. Even when presented with potential moral

conflicts or doubts, he remains focused on the pursuit of powerful individuals for his guild. This chapter further

explores his ruthless decision-making and his view of talent as a necessary tool, regardless of the obstacles or ethical

dilemmas involved.
