SOLO LEVELING- CH-19. Entering the red gate

In the evening outside Jinah's school.

Jina was standing there, waiting for Han Song-Yi. As she waited, someone came out of the school gate.

'She's here.'

It was none other than Han Song-Yi.

'Hmm~ She's cute.' Jina thought as she looked over Han's body, 'A beautiful face, medium-sized boobs, a thin waist, a cute ass, and long legs.'

In simple words, Han was Jina's type—someone she would definitely fuck.

"Korea is small, after all." Jina spoke, "As expected, it was you. Nice to meet you again, Han~"

"Unnie!" Seeing Jina, Han was completely surprised, "What are you doing here, Unnie?" she asked, confused.

But suddenly, a thought crossed her mind.

"Wait! The hunter my teacher wanted to introduce me to...was you, Unnie?" She asked with a surprised look.

"Yes, that's right." Jina agreed.

"I don't know what my teacher said to you, but I don't plan to quit being a hunter." Han said and continued, "Even if you're my best friend's big sister, I won't listen to you." She stated directly.

Hearing her, Jina smiled and stepped closer, "Don't worry; I'm not here to convince you to stop becoming a hunter." She said, rubbing Han's head, surprising her and making her blush.

"T-Then why are you here?" Han asked back, enjoying Jina's pat.

'Why does this feel so refreshing?' Han thought. It was her first time feeling this way.

"I'm here to take you with me and show you how a gate looks from the inside and how a hunter fights monsters."

"Really?" Hearing this, Han was genuinely surprised. At first, she thought Jina was there to stop her, but after hearing her words, she was elated.

"Yes."

___

International Airport, South Korea.

From the main gate, a tall man with a strong build came out. He wore an orange T-shirt and black pants, a trolley bag in his right hand.

"The atmosphere is great."

"I ended up visiting South Korea earlier than I expected."

He was none other than Hwang Dongsoo, younger brother of Hwang Dongsuk. As he enjoyed the view of the clear sky, a voice called to him.

"You're here."

Turning around, Dongsoo saw a man in a black suit with orange hair, standing and bowing.

"Oh~ What business does Korea's Hunter Guild's Woo Jinchul have here?" Dongsoo asked with a smile.

"Long time no see, Chief Ahn." Jina said to the two people in front of her.

"Yeah, it's been a while, Miss Jina." Ahn replied with a professional smile before looking at Han, "You must be the student from before. I'm the chief of the second department of management, Ahn Sangmin." he introduced himself to Han.

As Ahn introduced himself, the second person stepped forward and also introduced himself.

"I was so surprised when I received a call from you and learned you wanted to experience a new recruit's training session..." Ahn continued explaining everything necessary, just like in the manhwa.

"It's already past 9 o'clock. Let's stop the chatter and get started. We're not here for a picnic." A man wearing silver-colored full-body armor with a big shield on his back said loudly, gathering everyone's attention.

But Jina ignored him, scanning the area for someone in particular.

'There she is.' Jina thought as she finally spotted Park Heejin.

Heejin stood near the gate with some other party members. Her body was similar to Joohee's—a body perfect for fucking.

"Hmm?" Feeling someone's gaze, Heejin turned and met Jina's eyes. Jina smiled, licked her lips seductively, and blinked one eye at her.

'W-What?' Seeing her, Heejin was surprised. Her face turned red. She never thought a woman would openly hit on her.

Heejin turned away shyly, her heart racing, 'What is happening? Why am I getting shy? I'm not a lesbian!' She thought, embarrassed.

"Okay, everyone, let's go!" Suddenly, Kim Chul said loudly, pulling Heejin out of her thoughts.

"Unnie, let's go." Seeing everyone heading into the gate, Han became excited and pulled Jina by the hand.

"Yeah, let's go."

As everyone entered the gate, its color started changing from blue to dark red, shocking those outside.

"Chief! Its color is changing to red!"

"Yeah, I know! It's a red gate!" Chief Ahn exclaimed, quickly taking out his phone, "I must call the master directly!"

While fear spread outside the gate, inside, people were just as shocked.

"What the f*ck! It's a red gate!"

One of the team members shouted in fear.

"Unnie, what is a red gate?" Han asked, confused by the situation.

"It's a gate that connects us to another world. Once we enter, it won't reopen until it's cleared." Jina explained calmly.

Using shadows, she scanned the surroundings and spotted Ice Elves hiding in the trees.

Suddenly an ice arrow suddenly shot toward Han's head, aimed to kill her.

"Not happening."

But before the arrow reached Han, it stopped midair, surprising her and everyone else. Among them, Heejin was the most shocked.

Using Dominator's Touch, Jina crushed the arrow without touching it.

Suddenly, more arrows flew toward them. One man was killed in the onslaught.

"What the hell is happening?"

"Look! On the trees! Ice Elves!"

Seeing the Ice Elves, everyone was shocked except Jina. Then events unfolded as in the manhwa and two teams were formed.

"Are you sure you want to stay with them?" Kim Chul asked Heejin, surprised by her decision to remain with Jina and the lower-ranked hunters instead of joining him, an A-Rank hunter.

"Yes, I'm perfectly sure." Heejin replied confidently, standing beside Jina.

On Jina's right stood Heejin, and on her left, Han nervously held her hand.

'Tch! Fool!' Kim Chul thought before turning away with his team.

"Kim Chul didn't notice the arrows, but you did." Heejin said to Jina with a smile after Kim Chul left, "You're not an E-Rank, are you?"

Jina leaned closer, brushing her nose against Heejin's, "You're wrong. I am an E-Rank, but I'm much stronger than a normal one." She teased.

"Y-You, are you hitting on me?" Heejin asked in embarrassment as she took one step back.

"What if I am?" Jina replied with a smirk.

"You! You're shameless!" Heejin said shyly, turning away to hide her reddened face, 'What should I do?' She thought.

Meanwhile, Han watched the interaction with a completely red face.

'Unnie's into women.' She thought.

'What are we? Side characters?' While the other two men who stayed with Heejin thought, dumbfounded.

___

Outside the Gate.

While romance blossomed inside the gate, outside, Baek Yoonho, the White Tiger Guild's master, spoke with Chief Ahn.

"Are you sure Jina has reawakened? This isn't just speculation, right?" Yoonho asked.

"Well, it is..." Chief Ahn replied, troubled.

"Then we can only put our faith in Kim Chul." Yoonho said. Another guild member nodded in agreement, confident in Kim Chul's abilities.

As they waited, a car arrived. From it stepped someone Yoonho knew well.

"Huh? What happened here? I heard it was a C-Rank gate. Did it turn into an A-Rank? And why is the precious master of White Tiger Guild here?" Dongsoo stepped out, smiling wickedly.

"Hwang Dongsoo!" Yoonho shouted, his face filled with anger.
