Chapter 46. The Stem
Kim Do-Joon passed through the academy's main entrance, heading straight for the shelter building. He knew the location from his orientation with Kwon Soo-Young on the first day.
"Hey, there is an opening there! Block it!"
"Yes, sir!"
A dozen people were already fighting monsters at the entrance. They were security Hunters from the academy. The one who seemed to be the team leader was giving orders, but widened his eyes as soon as he saw Kim Do-Joon. Not only was Kim Do-Joon covered in blood, he was also wielding a long spear.
"Are you a Hunter?" the team leader asked.
Kim Do-Joon nodded. "Yes."
"Great timing! We were in desperate need of support!" the team leader stared at Kim Do-Joon, full of relief.
Kim Do-Joon spoke to him with a serious expression. "I'm sorry, but can I please check the shelter for a moment?"
"Huh? Why would you do that?" the team leader looked at him suspiciously.
Their duty was to protect the shelter, so it was natural for them to find a blood-soaked Hunter seeking entry without explanation suspicious.
"My daughter is inside. I want to make sure she's safe," Kim Do-Joon explained.
