229 Locations of Sin
Two days after Kevin officially joined the Aurora Hunters Guild team, the atmosphere at their headquarters changed completely. There was no more time for hesitation, no more time for debate. A messenger from the Hunters Guild—the neutral organization that coordinated the Sin hunt—arrived bearing important news."Sin was last seen near Mount Mesanda," said the messenger, a thin man in a gray robe with eyes that were always moving restlessly. "That was three days ago. If we follow its movement pattern so far...""Then it will appear at Erastus Hill," Adam cut in, his face serious.The messenger nodded. "Correct, Your Highness. Erastus Hill is exactly thirty kilometers from Mount Mesanda. All Sin experts agree—it will most likely appear there soon."Kevin, who was sitting in the corner of the room, frowned. "Its movement pattern is always like that?"Adam turned to him. "Always. After appearing in one place, Sin will move about thirty kilometers eastward in the following days. The expert

Adam stood beside him. "My father discovered it right after he killed the previous generation Sin. He did not know where it came from or who created it. But he was certain this place was somehow connected to Sin—to its curse, to its origins, to its cycle. And he told no one about this place.""Why did your father not tell anyone?""Because he was afraid." Adam gazed at the strange landscape before him. "He said there was something about this place that felt... watchful. As though this place was alive. And he worried that if the wrong person discovered it, the Sin cycle would only become worse."Kevin nodded slowly. He could feel it too—a kind of latent presence in the air, as though the walls of this dimension had eyes and ears."My father spent three years—the peace period before he transformed—trying to unravel the mystery of this place. He found something. Something written over there." Adam pointed into the distance.Kevin followed the direction of his pointing. At the foot of the
227 Test for Kevin 2
Third Test: Medicine"The third test is the most specific test," Adam said. "And honestly, this is the main reason why we have not yet found a seventh member."Kevin nodded. "Explain."Adam turned to his team members one by one. "Lyra is an offensive-type fighter. Speed and strength. Barok is a tank—defense and endurance. Arin and Arina work as a support unit, controlling the battlefield with their twin magic. Zeph..." Adam hesitated for a moment. "Zeph is a mystery. But he is not a healer.""I can see the future," Zeph said suddenly, without opening his eyes. "But only five seconds ahead."Kevin turned toward the boy with a raised eyebrow. That was an extremely rare ability."The point is," Adam continued, "we have no healer. No physician. No alchemist. Every time we get injured in training or in small battles, we have to rely on Greta—the healer from my father's team. But she will not come to the battlefield.""Why?""The curse," Lyra answered, this time without a mocking tone. "For
226 Tests for Kevin
The silence in the Gray Sky Teahouse was shattered by laughter.Lyra—the red-haired girl with black metal gloves—was the first to laugh. Her voice was crisp, but full of mockery. "Destroy the Sin cycle? Forever?" She shook her head. "Did you hear that, Barok? This stranger comes out of nowhere, suddenly saying he wants to break a curse that has been going on for three hundred years."The tattooed bald man—Barok—grinned, showing teeth that had been partly replaced with metal. "I heard. Maybe he thinks Sin is like a pet that can be tamed."The blond twins, whom Kevin later learned were named Arin and Arina, exchanged glances. "So confident," Arin said flatly. "Or stupid," Arina completed.Even Zeph, the violet-eyed boy sitting cross-legged on the table, opened one eye and looked at Kevin with an unreadable expression. He did not laugh, but the corner of his lips curved slightly.The only one who did not mock was Prince Adam.The young man with dark brown hair stared at Kevin with a diff
225 Sin Attack Patterns
General Valdris leaned his body forward, looking Prince Adam straight in the eye."Listen carefully, Adam. We are old. We can no longer fight. But we have faced Sin and won. We know its attack patterns. We know its weak points. We know when to attack, when to defend, and when to sacrifice everything. The other two teams reject this knowledge. But you—you are willing to listen."Adam nodded. "We will listen to everything, Uncle. Tell us from beginning to end.""Very well," Valdris drew a long breath. "It began at a place called Ardent Bay, where Sin first appeared before us..."---Kevin listened with an intensity that was almost inhuman.Over the next two hours, the six veterans told everything. About the seven days of battle against the twenty-second generation Sin. About how General Valdris lost his arm not from a direct attack, but because he lured Sin into a narrow valley so the others could attack from above.About how Seraphina created an artificial lightning storm that distract
224 Aurora Hunters Guild
The old district of Brunoa contrasted with the grandeur of the skyscrapers in the city center. The buildings here were lower, made of red brick and old wood. The streets were narrower, more winding, and filled with street vendors, street performers, and cultivators in worn cloaks.The market the young man had mentioned was bustling with the sound of bargaining and the aroma of foreign spices. Kevin passed stalls selling weapons, potions, talismans, and other strange items before finally arriving in front of a two-story building with a signboard that read: "Aurora Hunters Guild."In front of the building, a large-built man with arms covered in scars was sweeping the yard. He looked at Kevin with a wary gaze."What do you want?" his voice was heavy."I heard you are looking for a seventh member," Kevin answered calmly.The large man stopped his sweeping. He looked Kevin over from head to toe, then snorted. "We don't accept just anyone. Too many come only out of curiosity or seeking fame
