Chapter 314
The Core, especially the Deep Realm, was a gathering place for beings of immense power. A perilous region beyond the reach of any ordinary mortal, its inhabitants possessed strength incomparably superior to most, if not all, Hunters on Earth.
There was a time when Do-Jun personally dealt with entities emerging from the Deep Realm, but recently, he hadn’t needed to intervene. He wasn’t sure why, but it was a welcome change, meaning less troublesome work for him. Occasionally, an S-rank Great Fissure, which was commonly called a “catastrophe,” would appear. However, those were usually handled by the S-rank Hunter operation team of the Hunter’s Bureau, so there was no reason for Do-Jun to worry.
With a light rustle, Do-Jun leisurely picked up his newspaper.

There was a concept called “talent donation.” It referred to an act of volunteering one’s skills for the benefit of others. Surprisingly, the residents of the Deep Realm were benefiting from such a donation from none other than Kiriel. Every Wednesday, Kiriel would pack children’s Korean lesson books and head to the Deep Realm. Teaching Korean to the uneducated residents brought him great joy. Sharing his knowledge so generously gave him a deep sense of fulfillment.
“Ah...”
Wei Zhongqi returned after practicing swordsmanship in the remote caves of Mount Yeongryunsan within the Deep Realm. As he approached his property, he noticed the banner hanging outside his straw-thatched house that read “Kiriel’s Korean Class.” Realizing it was Wednesday again, he pressed his temple, fearing the imminent rush of the crowd.

Kiriel’s class started with only a handful of students. However, as word spread, more and more residents flocked to Mount Yeongryunsan to learn Hangul, turning the area, which was unfortunately Wei Zhongqi’s home, into a thriving hub of eager learners. What started as lessons in basic consonants and vowels had now advanced to practical expression.
Kiriel understood exactly why the residents of the Deep Realm were so determined to learn Hangul, and he catered to their needs.
“You have my utmost respect.”
“Please, just this once!”
