I Am The Anti-Mage

Chapter 164: Spend Time Leisurely

Before Ji-woo came home from the Hunters Association, he stopped by the weapon shop on the 13th floor. He intended to buy all the stock of Magic Crystals and Magic Stones the shop had. Ji-hye could only offer 17 Magic Crystals and 8 Magic Stones to Ji-woo.

It was because that was all the shop had. Ma-no ordered Ji-hye to fulfill Ji-woo's request. It was a form of apology that information about Ji-woo as a supplier of magic items sold by shops got widespread. So, they were willing to offer without holding anything back. They were even ready to present it without being paid a penny.

Ji-woo refused and paid the shop anyway. He took out 117 million won for it and said goodbye to Ji-hye. After that, he used the Magic Crystals and Magic Stones to his wrists and ankles weights. Thus, the weight he was carrying now reached 536 kg in total.

In the afternoon, 2 o'clock,

Dal-soo and Chairman Yu were the first to arrive on set. They arrived just in time and mourned the tier-3 Portal Gate that was about to be entered while waiting for the person in question to come.

"Dal-soo~ya, is it possible that you know what business Ji-woo is referring to with the Demigod guild?"

Dal-soo sighed at Chairman Yu's words. "That's a tier-5 Portal Gate. I need Ji-woo~si in the Vanguard team. Hyung, you know yourself that if Gang-ho Hyung~nim has already decided to enter the Portal Gate, it will be hard to stop."

Chairman Yu made a face as if he understood what Dal-soo said about Gang-ho. "Yeah, I understand that. No wonder you asked Ji-woo to join. With just three S-rank hunters, it's impossible to hunt in a tier-5 Portal Gate dungeon."

"The way you talk has changed, Hyung. You talk as if you completely believe that Ji-woo does have the power I said before. Is it because of what happened to Ji-woo and Akuma this morning?"

Chairman Yu laughed awkwardly and did not refute the statement. "Well, that too. But, now I wonder if one person really has the power to take care of a tier-3 Portal Gate."

"Believe me. I've seen him enter a tier-3 Portal Gate before."

Dal-soo tried to convince Chairman Yu. He knew that it was perplexing to believe that a person of equivalent strength to an Apex-ranked hunter could enter a lower-tier Portal Gate. Having someone of that immense power and could enter all tiers of the Portal Gate was basically cheating.

"Well, have you guys been waiting long? Sorry, I'm ten minutes late. The bus took a while."

Not long after, Ji-woo came in his casual clothes, like the style of a college kid. It got coupled with a sling bag which was none other than the Spatial Bag.

Dal-soo couldn't help but wonder why Ji-woo still preferred to use the bus instead of buying his own car when he had the money for it. Moreover, he and Chairman Yu wonder why Ji-woo got dressed as he was when he was about to fight with the creatures of the Portal Gate.

"Ji-woo~si, is that your fighting suit?"

"Are you sure you're going to come in like that?!"

Ji-woo raised his arms and looked all over his body. "Is there something wrong with this? What I'm wearing shouldn't be a problem, right?" He didn't understand why the two S-rank hunters were making a fuss about what he was wearing.

"Well, that's true. But, still. Those things will help you in your fight with those creatures."

But then, Dal-soo noticed the bag Ji-woo was carrying. "That's the Spatial Bag. Isn't it? So you have two magic items, after all. It's no wonder you want to sell the other one." He was initially surprised that Ji-woo was willing to sell the rare magic item before. As it turned out, Ji-woo had another one.

Chairman Yu was surprised to hear that. Two Spatial Bags was undoubtedly a fantastic amount for such a rare magic item.

"Ah, is your hunting gear in there? Well, you can use it later in the dungeon. It's a nice and practical magic item indeed."

However, Ji-woo disagreed with what Chairman Yu said. No matter how comfortable the Spatial Bag was, it was not as practical as the Spatial Ring. Nor was he interested in explaining further about his hunting gear and his opinion on the Spatial Bag.

"Okay, I'll come in." Ji-woo then walked over and entered the tier-3 Portal Gate without any trouble.

Zap, Zap–

Chairman Yu was astonished to see that with his own eyes. The cheating he had thought of at the beginning was actually happening before his eyes.

'Doesn't this mean there won't be a Portal Gate that Ji-woo can't enter? And with the strength seen since at the auction and this morning. At least tier-1 to tier-4 isn't a problem for him.'

Chairman Yu's face brightened at the thought. South Korea's chance to completely close all Portal Gates with tiers 1 to 4 was at least possible.

And it would also make South Korea have a fighting force of hunters that would not get reduced by dying in a dungeon. Thus, the preparations for the Red Gate would get easier to deal with by having a sufficient number of hunters. Although, that would later lead to clashes between the guilds, who also wanted to profit from the Portal Gate.

Magic items and Mana items were the most sought after by the hunters.

If Chairman Yu let Ji-woo take care of the Portal Gates, then that thing would become the envy of the hunters. And there was only one solution for it. It was the privileges like those of Black Market VVIP members. That was the only thing that could make the hunters not oppose that the Portal Gate got owned by a hunter. For the hunters who were displeased and questioned his decision, he didn't care about it. At least, he could ask Ji-woo not to kill those reckless hunters if they do something stupid later.

Dal-soo looked at Chairman Yu's face. He knew what the leader of the South Korean Hunters Association was thinking. 'Too naive. Ji-woo is not an easy person to ask for help.' He shook his head. He didn't want to spoil Chairman Yu's mood, who got overjoyed at the possibility of them eradicating the Portal Gate calamity.

The two S-rank hunters casually waited at the first tier-3 Portal Gate while chatting casually. Both have high expectations of Ji-woo.

But, after an hour and thirty minutes of time have passed, Dal-soo and the Chairman frown on their faces. That meant Ji-woo had been inside the Portal Gate for more than a day.

"Hey, nothing's wrong. Right? Don't you think this is too long for someone who can hold two S-rank hunters and can withstand the pressure of an Apex-ranked Hunter's Mana Presence!?"

"Hmm…, seems like everything is fine…, maybe!?"

After talking like that, Dal-soo and Chairman Yu finally spend another hour and a half waiting. They started to get restless and panicky like a parent waiting for their child to arrive.

"What I've seen these past few days is just a trick? Why did he spend 3 hours in a Portal Gate, and on top of that is a tier-3 one!?"

"Damn it! We can't go in to check. Should I call Team 3 of the Demigod guild?"

In the midst of the panicked Dal-so and Chairman Yu, suddenly a sound got heard from the direction of the Portal Gate.

Zap, Zap–

"Yep, here I am."

Dal-soo and Chairman Yu immediately stopped their movements when they saw Ji-woo was fine, exiting the tier-3 Portal Gate. Even Ji-woo's condition was too good to say that there was a problem in the dungeon that it took more than 3 hours to get closed.

"What took you so long!?"

"We thought something was going on in the dungeon! Are you all right, Ji-woo~si? Should we stop this event for today?"

"What are you guys talking about? Ah, I forgot that I had to enter another Portal Gate besides this one. So, I spent some leisurely time in the dungeon. Sorry."

Ji-woo then walked past the two hunters. Meanwhile, Dal-soo and Chairman Yu were still confused as they looked at the dissipating Portal Gate.

"Why are you still standing there? You don't want to go to the next Portal Gate? Well, fine then." Ji-woo lamented how he had to take another bus to go to another Portal Gate.

On the other hand, Dal-soo and Chairman Yu then rush to Ji-woo's side.

"That's not it. We're still going to the second Portal Gate." Dal-soo replied as he took his car keys out of his pocket, which Chairman Yu chimed in later.

"If I may know, why did it take you more than three days there, Ji-woo~si?"

"Ah, that? I just wanted to increase the profits of the Portal Gate. So, I was busy going around the dungeon to pick up anything useful."

Chairman Yu was busy glancing here and there, searching for the items in question until he became aware of the Spatial Bag's existence.

'Oh, right. This kid has that magic item.. Surely, what he got in the dungeon is in there.'
