The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood

Chapter 10: S-Class Hunter

Chapter 10: S-Class Hunter

Im just throwing it in front of a magical primitive. Its shitty to lose my ability. The magicians on Earth would be able to use magic until they died of old age.

This is not a magic trick! What is it? I was practicing defeating monsters without using skills.

But I moved my tongue shamelessly. 

Actually, I can use magic, but Im just holding back! Still, isnt this exaggeration pretty good?

Hmm, did this explain it?

The reaction is so quiet that I feel very uneasy.

I, who had been staring into the air trying to squeeze out a lie, turned around very carefully. 

Yoonseung-ah?

Then, I saw Ahn Yoonseung, who had tears in his eyes. Hey, wait a minute. 

I cant believe you had that intention!

Ahn Yoonseung spoke in an excited tone, as if he had felt anything after hearing what I had said.

His eyes were burning brightly like a firearm, as if he had come to realize something. 

I couldnt even imagine Yeah. What you said is correct. Basically, things that are easily acquired are easily lost, so why was I so sure that this ability would last forever? Of course, I will have to think about it when I return to being an ordinary person.

Yoonseung-ah?

Furthermore, looking at gate tendencies these days, mutations are becoming more and more unpredictable. If this continues, dungeons where skills cannot be used may appear one day.

Y, yeah.

I cant believe you had such foresight when you didnt think about how to train yourself and just looked for an easy way. Wow, Hyung is really

Is this what the top people think!

Ahn Yoonseung, who was excited that my idea seemed different from that of ordinary people, opened his eyes as if he had noticed something by himself.

Ah! Thats why?

I feel uneasy for some reason.

You can tell by a sixth sense that a person has a high level of awakening values. Like I get goosebumps when Im around S-class people. 

Yeah.

But what should I say about Kiryeo Hyung? I thought it was just my feeling because I didnt feel anything like a fly.

What did you just say to Alphauris former first wizard president? Flies?

If you train to control your abilities, will you be able to hide your magic power? Ive never seen such precise controls before in my life!

It was a moment when I realized that the awakening value that had been mentioned all along was actually synonymous with mana amount, but I was not happy.

After hearing that, I quietly placed my hand on my chest.

I answered after glancing at the location of the lungs.

Well, thats roughly it.

For some reason, I had a gut feeling that I would be saying things like this often in the future.

***

Today was a great success.

Ha, haha.

I cant stop counting the money from earlier. How much did I earn through this hunt? 

1 million won!

I felt the stiff bills as they went through my hands.

This is the money that I got by killing seven Fire-Bats. I cant believe it. 

Damn it, there should have been a lot of monsters at the gate.

My wallet would have been thicker if the situation had supported me.

I never thought it would be the last Fire-Bat. Besides, if I kill all the monsters, the gate disappears? 

When I defeated a C-Class monster with a body that couldnt even use magic, I received a reward beyond my imagination. 

However, since the prey living at the gate were living creatures, their number was not infinite.

In the end, I had to complete this schedule with a small fortune of 1 million won.

There was a feeling of regret in my head, but I tried to shake it off. Still, its not like I got in the last car, right? (t/n : I think this means jumping in late at the end.) 

Hunter Ahn Yoonseung, thank you for today. 

Good. Lets quickly let go of the magpie that returns the favor.

I greeted him lightly.

Hyung, do you usually sneak around unattended gates?

However, Yoonseung didnt accept the greeting and began to ask questions.

Why do I only choose unattended gates?

Should I answer this?

Why?

When my alert reaction returned, he smiled awkwardly.

To officially enter the E-Class or higher gate, you need the help of other hunters. 

Thats true.

Then perhaps

.?

If something like this happens today, can you call me again?

The proposal that Ahn Yoonseung carefully brought out was unexpected. Also, it was a very profitable story.

However, beware of freebies is a saying that applies everywhere in the universe.

But youve returned the help. So why?

Could it be that this earthling is playing a trick to find the absorbent?

I dont think so, he doesnt know the value of the sand at all.

Of course, the reason for the proposal soon became clear.

I have a lot to learn from being next to Hyung.

The background he explained in detail was as follows.

Because of an accident not long ago, his team was disbanded and he suddenly became a solo hunter.

In fact, Ahn Yoonseung is said to be a hunter who has been awakened for less than half a year.

Because of that, its dangerous to do activities alone because hes not very experienced, but to form a group again

He must feel bad about being stabbed in the back by a colleague. Even if it were me, I would do the same.

He seems to actually be taking a break because of a lot of things happening at the same time. 

Anyway, this A-Class hunter was currently running out of time.

So he said that if I gave him permission, he would like to enter the gate with me often in the future. Rehabilitation and mind reset.

Hmm.

I wont refuse if you offer to help me, but

After organizing his words in my head, I nailed it down in advance.

Yoonseung-ah, if we two fight.

Yes?

I lose.

.!

Thats how weak I am. The problem with the Golem issue was simply that you were a bit clumsy in your handling of it.

Because if I let Ahn Yoonseung do whatever he wants to support, an accident might happen.

Do you understand? It means that if something dangerous happens, dont think that I will save you.

Aah.

You have to protect your body. Always.

This should be enough as a safety measure without revealing that I cant use magic. 

After explaining the whole situation, I asked if he would still follow me to the gate.

In answer, Ahn Yoonseung readily accepted. 

Ah, Hyung is even humble The reason youre telling me this is because youre worried that I might let my guard down and get hurt!

Looking at that bright smile, I think he understood what I meant.

Okay, thats all you need to know.

I was excited to have an Earthling as an ally.

Now that the story was over, all that was left was to exchange contact information for the future.

By the way, how old are you, Kiryeo Hyung? 

He stopped his hand in the middle of writing a new contact and asked a question.

Now that I see it We didnt even know each others ages.

My first impression was that he was an inexperienced person struggling in front of a golem. Without realizing it, I have been treating Ahn Yoonseung poorly all this time. 

Kim Kiryeos age?

I thought about it for a moment and took out the wallet I had kept in his back pocket. And I showed my resident registration card.

Then, the inhabitants of the Earth calculate my age and tell me.

Heuk? 24 years old? You were only two years older than me

.

A, ahaha. Uh, Im 22! However, I went to college again and got my student number

I learned a lot of information through this contact information exchange.

Kim Kiryeo is 24 years old.

If the topic of college came up and there is no memory that comes to mind at all, its highly likely that Im not a highly educated person.

Hmm.

There were no contacts saved on the phone.

***

Refreshing morning.

I started the day with a curse word.

This is because as soon as I opened my eyes, I confirmed that no magic was coming out.

But I tried to shake off negative thoughts by washing my face with cold water.

Today I had a fun meeting with a hunter named Ahn Yoonseung.

Were going to the gate.

Im not going to hold another ancestral rite of throwing salt at monsters.

Because very few creatures were killed by absorbents, it was impossible to go out hunting every day. So I planned to take a day off to make money 

Ahn Yoonseung suddenly asked a question yesterday. 

Hyung-nim, if its okay, would you like to take a look at a new gate tomorrow? They say something strange came out inside. I happened to get priority admission.

And here is my answer to that suggestion.

Ahn Yoonseung!

Oh, youre here!

How can I hold back when aliens show me something interesting? 

Phew, I lightly wiped away the sweat I had from walking. Ahn Yoonseung looked at me like that and said,

Did you happen to walk?

Yeah, why?

I thought it was too far from where you live. You could have taken a taxi.

Taxi

I know.

Kim Kiryeos brain. I remembered this information very quickly. Does it?

Damn it.

I swallowed a curse and caught my breath.

After calming down for a while, the surrounding scenery finally came into view.

There are quite a few people. Are all the people here going in?

Most of them are just watching. Or a reporter.

Come to think of it, in Korea, when a new gate occurred, an advance team to investigate went in and controlled the area to prevent other hunters from interfering 

Did they say that the gate will be opened only after the associations investigation is successfully completed and the information is released?

Today was the opening day of the new gate.

Even a plant that was new to mankind was discovered inside.

Perhaps unknown material covering the ground is the key to restoring my magic. 

Is it open yet? Its not like Im going to stay long because Ill just check the plants at the entrance anyway.

I looked at the gate half in anticipation and half in worry.

But then. 

Hmm? What is that?

In the distance, the black sedan stopped over the green field.

Up until this point, no one had paid much attention to the car, but the situation suddenly changed when the back door opened and a person got out.

Huh!

Excuse me

Why did he come here?

Hunters begin to mutter.

There is a strange tension in each of their eyes.

Heuk, Kang Changho

Ahn Yoonseungs reaction was not much different. 

I wonder why everyone is in this mood. But this side has no way of knowing famous people on Earth.

Who is it?

I finally asked the question out of frustration.

Then Ahn Yoonseung looks at the person as if he were a spy.

Hes Hunter Kang Changho. S-Class. 

But at this level, it could have been seen as strange. 

S-Class? I heard there are three of them in Korea? 

After hearing that and looking closely, I could immediately see why that person was S-Class.  

A presence that is distinctly different from the magicians around. Moreover, he is able to stably handle the vast amount of magical power within his body.

Ooh.

He is definitely a rare talent on Earth. 

Naturally, my eyes fell.

And at this moment, I briefly made eye contact with the S-Class hunter.

I guess its okay because everyone is staring at him anyway.

But I didnt necessarily avoid eye contact. In addition, the awakened person soon turned his eyes elsewhere.

This is a natural phenomenon. We only looked at each other by chance, so whats the big deal

Huh?

Wait a minute, I have to take back what I just thought. 

The S-Class hunter, who had turned his gaze to the distant mountain, quickly turned his head again and looked at me.

The wide-open eyes look like they are checking again, wondering, Did I just see something wrong?

Moreover, the hunter now began to look in this direction clearly without blinking.

Huh, what is this?

Honestly, its scary at this point.

I belatedly pretended not to know him. Then the sound of stepping on the grass was heard in my ear.

It was the sound of an S-class hunter approaching.
