Oh Jaejin and Yi Yook-Ok exchange glances, uncertainty etched across their faces. The weight of the decision hangs in the air, and they grapple with the unknown, unsure of the right course of action. Kim Suho's proposition, to face the formidable threat lurking within the dungeon, leaves them standing at a crossroads.

As Kim Suho seeks their cooperation, Yi Yook-Ok, despite the apprehension in her gaze, appears more than willing to take a shot at the challenge. Her determination shines through, a testament to her resilience in the face of adversity. However, a lingering worry shadows her enthusiasm – concern for Oh Jaejin. The strange hobgoblin they are about to face is a formidable foe, and Yi Yook-Ok can't help but fret for her companion.

"What do you think?" Yi Yook-Ok directs the question to Oh Jaejin, her eyes searching his for an answer.

"This is the best chance we will ever have," Jaejin responds, his gaze shifting to the ornate, beautiful sword Kim Suho carries. The weapon emanates a formidable amount of magic power, catching Oh Jaejin's discerning eye. The allure of that power and the potential it holds for their current predicament is not lost on him.

"I think the same," Yook-Ok adds her agreement, a subtle nod accompanying her words.

As they consider Kim Suho's proposal, Oh Jaejin, in a whispered tone, seeks Yook-Ok's opinion on their enigmatic ally, "What do you think of him?"

Yi Yook-Ok, a mischievous glint in her eyes, teases Oh Jaejin with a playful smile. "A super handsome version of you, but instead wields a sword," she remarks, pointing out the uncanny similarities between Oh Jaejin and Kim Suho. "Look, he has glasses too, and black hair."

"Eegh…" Oh Jaejin's response is a mix of discomfort and insecurity. The undeniable handsomeness of the other guy seems to make Oh Jaejin feel a tad bit unfair. "What now? Are you gonna dump me?" he questions, half in jest.

"I am just kidding, you are the only one for me. If someone is going to do the dumping, it will be you," Yook-Ok reassures, her tone affectionate as she playfully nudges Jaejin.

Interrupting the banter, Kim Suho clears his throat with an awkward cough, scratching his cheek in embarrassment. "Ahem~! So, what do the two of you plan on doing? I could really use some help."

Oh Jaejin and Yi Yook-Ok share a determined glance before responding in unison, "Let's do it."

Kim Suho forms a party with the two, and the two seems amiable enough to trust Suho which is new to him. When he is working in the Association, people tends to be suspicious of him when he is just trying to help. In fact, his colleagues kind of look down on him. Perhaps, the difference is in the environment. Their formation is fairly simple: Suho in the vanguard, Yook-Ok in the middle, and Jaejin in the rear.

Kim Suho takes charge of the situation, addressing Yi Yook-Ok with a request. "Yook-Ok-ssi, please protect Jaejin-ssi. Let’s clear the place floor by floor." He leads the way, sword at the ready, a determined focus etched on his face. "Please tell me if there is something I need to know."

Yi Yook-Ok nods in acknowledgment. "Understood."

Oh Jaejin, adjusting his eyeglasses to prevent them from slipping, poses a practical concern. "I have a detection ability. Are we going to proactively seek monsters and attack them? If we are going to do it floor by floor, then that will be quite a lot. The school is seven floors tall."

Kim Suho, unconsciously pressing his glasses as well, reassures him. "We will be fine. It will be a toll on your stamina if you are new to this, but you have me. I have been in similar places, clearing monsters with my friends, so you can trust me."

Jaejin, mirroring Kim Suho's gesture, nods. "You have my trust."

Observing the exchange, Yi Yook-Ok, trying to suppress her laughter, consciously rubs her nose. She watches the two four-eyed companions, pressing their glasses like characters from an anime, and can't help but find a lighthearted moment amidst the impending challenge. "Let’s go," she declares, and the trio, armed and ready, ventures into the seven-floor school dungeon.

In the dimly lit corridor of the school, Kim Suho effortlessly dispatches a goblin with a single, precise swing of his sword. The creature crumples to the ground, defeated in the blink of an eye. It's a display of skill that leaves Oh Jaejin and Yi Yook-Ok awestruck, witnessing the sheer efficiency of Suho's movements.

Kim Suho has always harbored a tendency to conceal his true strength, often sheathing the ability to cut concepts when possible. However, recent events have prompted a shift in his perspective. The realization that hiding his strength is an immature approach has led him to hone his abilities, embracing sincerity in his battles.

With each swing of his sword, Suho demonstrates a newfound commitment to fighting with genuine skill and power. He only needs a few, calculated moves to dispatch the goblins that stand in their way. The room is cleared methodically, one goblin at a time, as Suho showcases the results of his honed abilities.

Oh Jaejin and Yi Yook-Ok watch in awe as Suho moves with a grace that belies the ferocity of his attacks. The realization of Suho's true capabilities dawns on them, and they find themselves entrusting their safety to a warrior whose sincerity in combat is as undeniable as his prowess.

"That’s a lot of goblins!" Kim Suho remarks as they reach the locker room near the swimming pool, the space is swarming with diminutive yet menacing creatures.

Oh Jaejin steps forward confidently, responding, "Let me deal with them." He conjures consecutive fireballs with practiced ease, the flames engulfing the goblins and swiftly reducing their numbers.

Yi Yook-Ok, noticing the exertion on Suho's part, suggests, "Suho-ssi, rest for a while. Let me take care of them; they are just goblins anyway."

Suho agrees, swapping places with Yi Yook-Ok and standing beside Oh Jaejin. The air crackles with magic power, facilitating a swift recovery for Suho and Oh Jaejin alike. Despite the continuous casting, the magic resource of both warriors seems to cycle efficiently, defying the usual constraints.

"Good work, this is the last place with goblins, right? Let’s go to another floor," Suho acknowledges.

"Let’s take a breather first; I have an idea," Kim Suho suggests, prompting the trio to rest by the stairs connecting to the second floor. Having successfully cleared the first floor of goblins, a momentary pause seems well-deserved.

"Yook-Ok-ssi, do you know martial arts?" Suho inquires, his gaze shifting to Yi Yook-Ok.

"A little bit. I dabble in boxing. The one-one-two logic is quite versatile, you know? I can even do it with a spear," Yook-Ok replies, revealing a unique fusion of combat styles.

Oh Jaejin interjects with a touch of humor, "Yeah, it is even applicable for fighting games. Light attack. Light attack. Heavy attack."

"Sure, my dear armchair strategist," Yook-Ok counters with a playful tone, "Just to remind you, you are a magic caster, right?”

"I don’t want to intrude, but do you want to learn martial arts suitable for the usage of magic power?" Kim Suho offers, addressing Yi Yook-Ok with a proposal that combines both physical and magical prowess.

Oh Jaejin, momentarily speechless, processes the unexpected suggestion while Yi Yook-Ok responds with enthusiasm. "Of course!"

Guiding them through the intricacies of magic power and muscle synchronization, as well as the release of magic power in tandem with martial arts techniques, Kim Suho imparts his knowledge to his companions. The trio, now armed with a unique blend of skills, resumes their ascent through the dungeon.

On each floor, they face and conquer every monster in their path. The cafeteria, once a congregation point for hobgoblins, becomes a battleground where Suho, Oh Jaejin, and Yi Yook-Ok showcase their refined teamwork. The rescue mission continues, with the trio locating and escorting stranded survivors to the cafeteria, gradually building a makeshift sanctuary amid the chaos.

Back and forth through the floors they navigate, facing challenges and adversaries, until, finally, they reach the pinnacle – the seventh floor.

Upon reaching the seventh floor, the trio is greeted by a scene of ominous grandeur. It is also illogical considering how cavern-like the insides have become. The vast space is brimming with goblins, a teeming mass of malevolent creatures. At the heart of the chaos, sitting upon a throne constructed from the bones of humans looms the imposing figure of a muscular hobgoblin, adorned with a sinister crown. This creature exudes an air of authority, clearly the big bad boss that governs the floor.

Beside the imposing hobgoblin, two formidable figures stand in attendance. A Goblin Shaman, garbed in mystical attire, exerts an aura of magical prowess. Opposite the shaman is a Hobgoblin Assassin, its presence marked by a deadly and calculating demeanor. The unholy trio, perched atop the hierarchy of goblinkind, presents a formidable challenge to Kim Suho, Oh Jaejin, and Yi Yook-Ok.

"I will take care of the Hob Assassin and the Goblin King," Kim Suho declares, his voice resolute as he divides the responsibilities. His gaze focuses on the imposing figures seated upon the grotesque throne of human bones. The Hobgoblin Assassin and the Goblin King, leaders of the horde, command his attention.

"I leave the shaman and the minions to the two of you," Suho continues, acknowledging the distinct roles each member of the trio will play in this decisive confrontation.
