00:00To be continued...
00:30I thought you said you had your fill of hunting, bum sheep.
00:32That was before baby number two was on the way.
00:35A successful raid will definitely score you a pretty nice mint for your new kiddo.
00:40Pretty nervous. It's been a while, so you know I'm super rusty. I was always weak to begin with.
00:45Huh. Is that a genus song I see?
00:47Yo, what's going on? Came out despite the cold, huh?
00:51Yeah. Nice to be working with you guys again.
00:55Hey, kid, have you eaten yet? Can't find magic beasts running on fumes.
00:58Right. I did eat before I got here. Thanks.
01:02Why is everybody flagging him down? Is that kid like a big deal or something?
01:06He's the exact opposite.
01:08Gino joined up not long after you quit.
01:10Well, I call him the weakest hunter of all mankind.
01:14Wait, really? That's a thing?
01:16It was once he got hospitalized after a trip through an E-rank gate.
01:20If that isn't weak, then I don't know what is.
01:22It's hard to picture someone being that bad.
01:25But he is, so just him being here means it's going to be a real easy raid.
01:29Uh-huh. Gotcha.
01:30We should probably drop it. I'd hate for him to overhear us.
01:34Too late. Heard every word.
01:37Well, they didn't say anything that isn't true, so I can't argue.
01:40Gino! You got hurt again!
01:43Yeah, but I'll live. It's good to see you, Chuyi.
01:46How about you skip the small talk and explain what happened to you?
01:49Oh, uh, yeah, the same thing that usually happens.
01:53You seriously need to be more careful!
01:56I heard you even had a hospital stay.
01:58Hey, silver lining, though, is that I was the only one hurt.
02:01So, what exactly went wrong?
02:03The rest of the team was a higher rank, and the dungeon was an E, so they didn't think to
02:07bring a healer.
02:08They didn't bring a healer? Of all the thoughtless, self-centered things to do!
02:11Not like a mad. It isn't their fault I'm so weak.
02:14I'm used to being treated that way by hunters.
02:17Figured you knew that.
02:20It looks like they're ready to head inside. Come on.
02:23The name's Chiyosung, and unless any of you have objections, I volunteer to be the leader of our dungeon raid.
02:29Speak now or hold your peace.
02:31Nope, I'm all for it.
02:32Chiyal is the most skilled out of everybody here.
02:35One less worry if he's in charge.
02:37Working with you, sir, is an absolute privilege.
02:39Thanks.
02:40Now, with that settled, shall we?
02:48Hey, kid.
02:50Hang behind the rest of the pack, and don't get yourself hurt.
02:53Good idea.
02:54I'll try.
02:55Focus on succeeding, not trying.
02:59This knife has barely any magic power in it, but it was the only weapon I could afford.
03:05Hey, it's better than nothing.
03:10Alright, let's see this through to the end.
03:20Ah, welcome back, Chairman Goh.
03:23How was your meeting with the administration?
03:26We covered the usual talking points.
03:28Dungeon breaks are a constant problem, but they still want the resources we collect from every open gate.
03:35Their demands are logical.
03:37Anyone with sense would agree.
03:38Hunting's now one of the most lucrative careers on Earth, thanks to the treasures found in those monster dens.
03:48Who would have guessed the trophies inside Magic Beasts, these essence stones, would be so valuable?
03:59I actually got one.
04:01I can hardly believe it.
04:02G. News!
04:17You have to fight him off!
04:18Say back, G. News!
04:24I gotta go back and help with the main assault.
04:26Look after him and patch him up if you can.
04:28Right, I will.
04:30You're going to be okay.
04:32I'll make you good as new.
04:49We hunters gather essence stones from high rank beasts and use them to create weapons and armor that allow us
04:55to take down even more creatures in a vicious cycle.
04:58One would think we just harvest monocrystals since they perform the same function, yet they're less potent and make for
05:04weaker gear.
05:05But the government's interested in a much different use?
05:08As a new power source, yes.
05:11They're safer than nuclear, more efficient than water, wind, or geothermal, and don't pollute the atmosphere like fossil fuels.
05:19Quite simply, the ideal clean energy.
05:22As we speak, scientists are working to get those magic minerals to produce electricity.
05:26A rare fuel source only hunters are able to collect.
05:29Making the burden that all hunters bear heavier than it already was.
05:40We did it!
05:42I gotta hand it to you, Mrs. Hassan.
05:44You know how to call him!
05:46Now be honest.
05:47You weren't just staying on as a hunter because you're too stubborn to quit, right?
05:51It's only a matter of when, not if, something much worse happens.
05:55I thought your stomach was all that needed healing, but you're hurt everywhere!
05:58Sorry.
05:59I'm not asking for an apology here, okay?
06:01I'm worried about you!
06:08Everyone good?
06:09All loot collected?
06:10If it can fetch a price, safe to say we got it.
06:13Monocrystals are scarce here as essence stones.
06:15This dungeon was one dry cash cow.
06:18I guess it's over.
06:20And all I have to show for it is a single E-rank essence stone.
06:25What a crap reward for risking my life.
06:29Hey!
06:30Come take a look at this, guys!
06:33A cave?
06:34Or a tunnel, maybe.
06:35Either way, it seems to go pretty far.
06:37This has to be a double dungeon.
06:39Never seen one in person, though.
06:41I was wondering why there weren't any signs of this place shutting down after we beat that mutt.
06:45I have to admit, that thought crossed my mind, too.
06:47Then there's more.
06:48Maybe.
06:49This cash cow might not be as dry as we assumed.
06:51Listen up, ladies and gents.
06:54Standard procedure is to report cases like this to the Hunters Association and wait for their approval.
06:59Now hang on a second here.
07:01That'd give other Hunters a chance to beat the boss and loot the goods.
07:04There isn't any part of a D-rank dungeon that would be out of our group's league.
07:08He's got another kid on the way.
07:09He was banking on a decent haul from this raid.
07:12It'd be okay to bend the rules a tiny bit, right?
07:14Just a smidge?
07:15I understand how you feel, but going any farther would endanger our lives.
07:19So I say we put it to a vote.
07:21I'm not feeling it.
07:22Well, I am.
07:23I vote no.
07:24Same here.
07:25It's worth checking out.
07:26I agree.
07:27Me too.
07:28I beg to differ.
07:29Come on, let's go.
07:31We'll be fine.
07:32I'm sorry, everyone.
07:33I really don't want to.
07:34All right.
07:35That's six in favor of going and six opposed, which would make Genu here the deciding vote.
07:40Well, it's up to me.
07:43Even if the danger isn't above a D-rank, I'm in trouble no matter what.
07:48Still, with Dad missing, I'm the only one who can provide for my family.
07:53Mom's treatments aren't free.
07:54And then there's my sister's college tuition.
07:57I don't want money.
07:59I need it.
08:01I vote yes.
08:08Raise your right hand, place it on the black crystal, and just try to relax.
08:17We are ready for whoever's next.
08:25Just look at that bottom section and you'll find our labor conditions listed in extensive detail.
08:33As of right now, a B-rank hunter and two C-ranks agreed to sign with our guild, so it's
08:37going rather well, I'd say.
08:38I think you'll be pleased, guildmaster.
08:40I already am.
08:42If anybody seems like an asset, make them an offer, regardless of their age or gender.
08:47I doubt they'll compare to someone like Kane Cha, but the world is full of surprises.
08:53We're thieves!
08:54Stop them!
08:55Out of the dead of way!
08:56Move!
09:00Move, lady!
09:01Do you want to die?
09:02Give me!
09:22Gosh, that was incredible.
09:25Thank you so much!
09:26Same shot!
09:28Get out!
09:29The S-Rank Hunter!
09:31Goddamn!
09:31I'd like to leave.
09:39Look at her go!
09:41That's an S-Rank Hunter for you.
09:45How long has it been since we started this track?
09:48About 40 minutes.
09:49Gates close an hour after the boss is defeated, so we'll have 20 minutes to spare.
09:54Juhi, I'm really sorry.
09:56What'd you do now?
09:57I voted yes to come down here, even though you hoped that we'd call it quits.
10:01I'm the last thing you should be worried about, so stop it.
10:04Now stop, if you're sure you're okay.
10:06You've got to be kidding me.
10:08I'm obviously not okay!
10:10In a sudden case of amnesia, or has it not occurred to you that Goblin could have struck a little
10:14higher and ended your life?
10:15Killing up that wound along with your arms and legs wasn't easy, Genu.
10:19I swear you hit your head.
10:20That's the only explanation for how much of an idiot you're being.
10:23I'm sorry.
10:24I can't deny, Juhi's B-Rank healing spells have come in clutch on more than one occasion.
10:30Do you really grasp the issue here?
10:32Yeah.
10:34Well, in that case, you could always show your thanks by taking me out to eat somewhere.
10:39Why the shock? Is the thought of treating me to a meal so upsetting to you?
10:43No, no, no, no, no. That's not it at all.
10:45Finally! We found the lair!
10:49Rare to see an actual door on one of these.
10:51It's kind of unnerving.
10:53Mm-hmm.
10:55Didn't walk that marathon to turn back empty-handed.
10:58No? Sure as heck didn't.
10:59The team moves forward, together. All 13 of us. Isn't that right?
11:05Yep, that's the deal.
11:10For those who don't know me, I'm Gunhiko.
11:12Greetings, from the Hunters Association's current chair.
11:15Some of you newly awakened will choose to become hunters.
11:18Some won't, but I ask that you consider carefully before deciding.
11:22It's been ten years since the gates appeared, yet they still remain a mystery for the most part.
11:26So to become a hunter is to risk your life.
11:29Even those accustomed to raids cannot let their guards down.
11:32Refrain from growing arrogant or careless.
11:34My best advice to ensure your survival would be...
11:37Stay both humble and afraid.
11:46Let there be light.
11:48And a dope atmosphere.
11:50This dungeon's unique, all right.
12:00What's with the old statues?
12:02They each have something different.
12:04Yeah, a weapon or an instrument.
12:06Oh, whoa.
12:11He makes the others seem like toys.
12:13That's damn huge.
12:15He a king?
12:16King of creepiness.
12:17So where are the monocrystals and magic beasts?
12:20I'm saying.
12:21I don't even see bugs.
12:23What's this for?
12:25Divination?
12:26Mr. Song!
12:27Something's written over here.
12:29In ancient script, of course.
12:32The Kartenon Temple's commandments are as follows.
12:35First, thou shalt worship God.
12:37Second, thou shalt praise God.
12:40Third, thou shalt prove thy faith.
12:43That huge stone statue.
12:45I saw its eyes move.
12:47It's been watching us this entire time.
12:51There's no way.
12:52I'm seeing things.
12:54You will not leave alive.
13:00The door.
13:01It just shut its own.
13:02But why?
13:03It's fine.
13:04I'm sure we can open it back up again.
13:06Better hope so.
13:08See, this is what we get for taking a stupid risk.
13:10I knew we shouldn't have kept going, but I was outloaded.
13:14If there's treasure lying around, you idiots are welcome to it.
13:17I'm leaving.
13:19Look out!
13:20It's a trap!
13:37Let's stand a chance.
13:39They'll get us too.
13:40What now?
13:41Do we fight those links?
13:43We can't just...
13:44That guy who died, it must have been D-rank at least.
13:47Stronger than me, anyway.
13:49I mean, who is it?
13:52It was gone.
13:53Just like that.
13:54What's going on?
13:55This is a D-rank dungeon.
13:57No, no, there aren't supposed to be things like that down here.
13:59If these statues are moving, then that means...
14:15I've stared death in the face plenty of times since I became a hunter.
14:19In my first raid, I lost my party and wound up stranded.
14:23E-ranked monsters have hospitalized me for weeks.
14:26It was a time I nearly starved to death in a labyrinth.
14:29We could be the lowest of low-ranked dungeons,
14:31but I'll still be fighting for my life.
14:35Most hunters buy upgraded gear with the cash they make from selling essence stones.
14:39They take down stronger beasts,
14:41need bigger rewards.
14:42But I break the bank just splurging on cheap knives.
14:45Once they break, that's it.
14:47Back to fighting with my bare hands.
14:50Even my shoes are short.
14:52And so, day after excruciating day,
14:58I endure the mockery and perform this life-threatening job
15:01that takes way more than it gives.
15:03Because I've learned that I can survive most anything
15:05if I keep my eyes peeled for opportunities.
15:08Maybe that's why I was able to tell.
15:11Get down now!
15:26What the hell?
15:28Please.
15:28How do we trigger it?
15:30I think I know.
15:30You're all right, Pumpkin.
15:32Somehow.
15:33What about you?
15:34I'm fine.
15:35No more.
15:36Please, no more.
15:37What just happened?
15:40This can't be real.
15:42When it is, we're trapped.
15:45Then for...
15:47Dead.
15:50We're all gonna die!
