Episode 49. The National Hero
“Hunter Seonwooyeon?”
“Mr. Kiryeo?”
The two people find each other and open their eyes wide.
“What’s going on? We received a report of an Awakened running wild in the park… … .”
“You came at a good time. I need your skills. The culprit has escaped.”
“yes?”
Kim Ki-ryeo immediately explained the situation to the dispatched police officers.
“Anyway, teacher, are you saying that you’re not hurt or anything right now?”
“yes?”
However, since the victim was so healthy, the reaction was somewhat indifferent.
“Do you remember the criminal’s impression?”
“I’ll go check the CCTV!”
Fortunately, not all police officers were like that.
After successfully completing the testimony.
I sat blankly on a park bench and waited for the weather to change.
Then a woman with black hair approaches and hands him a drink from the vending machine.
“Oh, thank you.”
It’s a tea ceremony.
Seonwooyeon then continued speaking with difficulty.
“I just checked and all the surveillance cameras around here are down. So for now, I plan to focus on tracking down the criminal’s items that Mr. Kiryeo testified about.”
“You were able to find the item too.”
“of course.”
She glanced at the piles of animal carcasses scattered throughout the park.
“By the way, you’ve had a tough time. An attack in broad daylight?”
“hmm.”
“You said he was a person who used the same hiding power as the captured invisible man?”
Kim Ki-ryeo bites the end of a paper cup and then begins to explain further.
Why did that Awakened One target you? What kind of skills does he use? And what kind of appearance did the opponent have? Detailed eyewitness accounts.
“Hmm, a psychokinesis awakened being with cutting skills… … .”
Seon Woo-yeon, who had been quietly listening to the story, paused for a moment.
“What is the criminal’s awakening level?”
“well.”
“Compared to me, are you above or below?”
“If you look at it that way, it’s above. Maybe around the level of Yoon Seung.”
The B-class hunter’s expression hardens.
“Then, how is Mr. Kiryeo doing…?”
It is inevitable that the victim will feel a bit offended or be concerned by the remarks made.
Didn’t he just testify with his mouth? That he was threatened with death by a mysterious Awakened person.
“I don’t know if you misunderstood something, but you were scared and didn’t rush in.”
To this, Gi-ryun answered honestly.
He said he didn’t know much about it.
“Mr. Seonwooyeon, do I look a little scary?”
“yes?”
Suddenly, a curiosity occurred to me and I asked a short question.
Then Seon Woo-yeon looked intently at Class F’s face and shook his head.
“No. Well, not really.”
When you look up from below, you get the unmistakable appearance of a murderer, but I guess there’s no need to say that.
‘This person’s face isn’t scary, but… ‘
Seonwooyeon sipped her tea and sat deep in thought.
By the way, I didn’t know that Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo was the one who arrested the thief at the shopping center.
I thought it was Ahn Yoon-seung’s achievement so far.
‘Actions are scary.’
Emerging human traffickers, novice hunters, and invisible men.
How many crimes has he encountered so far?
At this moment, Seon Woo-yeon realized that somehow that man was often involved in incidents and accidents.
“What kind of drink is this? It’s delicious.”
“This is the Yulmu tea I got from the vending machine over there.”
And strangely enough, the criminals who passed through Kim Ki-ryeo all had bad reputations.
‘Suspicious.’
To begin with, today’s events also don’t add up.
You didn’t do anything, but an A-class Awakened person suddenly ran away?
“Then, please contact me when the culprit is caught.”
Kim Ki-ryeo immediately got up from the bench.
Seonwooyeon couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling that settled in his heart even as he bowed to him.

[A Flock of Crows Appears Over the City Sky, Is Climate Crisis Coming? … … .]
Thump thump thump. Thump thump thump.
A dull knocking sound was heard amid the blaring of the TV news.
The man lying on the sofa gestured nervously, so the subordinate standing in the corner opened the storage room door for him.
“Are you all well?”
Then a character appeared.
It looks like it’s raining outside.
He was wearing a white raincoat, but the face beneath it was somehow gender-ambiguous.
“Hey, why did you call me… … .”
A cautious greeting flows.
But all that came back was Pyo Na-gil’s harsh curses.
“Hey, you f*cking XX! Don’t you know why I called you? Because of that piece of trash skill stone you brought me… …!”
“Oh my! Calm down, brother.”
The figure wearing the raincoat spoke to the young boss of the organization.
“This is something we didn’t expect. There has never been a case in the world where a person’s hiding place was detected with the naked eye, so who would have thought that it would suddenly happen today?”
“her!”
“Besides, the skill stone was something I gave away for free… … .”
Why are you so angry when I didn’t even pay for it?
When the Awakened One in the raincoat speaks like this, Pyonagil frowns.
“Hey, that’s fine. I’m going to step away from Esther, so you know that.”
“yes?”
“I just got some new information. It’s about that guy who caught the invisible man. Turns out he already has a very deep connection with the Magic Tower.”
Knock knock.
Pyonagil pointed to a nearby table.
There were several sheets of paper there.
A contract between Korea Tower and an external appraiser. And a photo of the recovery site of a certain Class A Red Gate.
“What’s the problem with this?”
“huh?”
“You have verified this with our verification. The Night Walker has a skill that is more than capable of taking down an S-class enemy.”
“I know that, but.”
“This is an extremely rare case where a hunter detects stealth. Just hit him first.”
If it bothers you that much, why don’t you just kill Kim Ki-ryeo first?
The raincoat man asked in a light tone. Pyonagil’s eyes fluttered slightly.
“…no.”
“yes?”
“That kid is a hunter just like Esther.”
As the opponent stood there blankly, Pyonagil scratched his neck as if he was annoyed.
“The level could be the same! I already checked it yesterday!”
“Oh, are you someone who disguises your awakening level like me? Please speak.”
And during the conversation, the identity of the person in the white raincoat was gradually revealed.
“But this is going to be a bit difficult for me. You assassinate an S-class, and the Nachalsa Temple provides items and money during the process. This is our deal.”
This person is none other than a believer of a religious group called ‘Nachalsa Temple’.
However, Pyo Na-gil did not seem to acknowledge this, and stuck out his tongue and criticized the other person.
“You should have prepared the skill stone properly from the beginning, you phony bastard.”
Pseudo… … .
The believer who heard this smiled softly.
“Isn’t it wrong for me to run away in vain because I couldn’t kill one F-class hunter?”
“what?”
“We’ve already provided enough support. You were the one who said that if we could just get her a stealth skill, we could kill someone like Esther with 100% certainty… … .”
bang!
Pyo Na-gil rose from his seat.
The neutral-looking church member glanced up at the leader of the criminal organization.
“Nothing will change even if you cut me to pieces.”
“hey.”
“If you keep breaking your promises, it will be difficult. No matter how much I feel like it… … .”
I feel like I want to cut this disgusting cult in half right now.
Pyo Na-gil couldn’t bring himself to take action.
“We don’t have infinite money either. If you don’t kill the S-class, we have no reason to support you anymore.”
“Ugh.”
“Besides, you’ve already eaten a lot, do you think you can just wipe your mouth and move on?”
Unregistered gathering.
And the temple of Nachal in front of you.
There are close ties between this criminal organization and a similar religious group.
In particular, the temple was in a situation where it could control and shake up criminals based on the huge amount of money it had extorted from believers.
‘Why are you so obsessed with assassination?’
These suspicious cultists have always been obsessed with one thing.
“Anyway, Esther seems to be having a hard time, right? Then let’s solve it quickly, even if it’s with another S-class.”
“Are you saying anyone is okay?”
“Yes, anyone. Anyway, I’ve been getting harassed lately and it’s been tough.”
S-class murder.
I really don’t understand what the pseudo-people are thinking.
“Namchanyeo is watching over you, Juntae. So if you have faith and act on your own, you will surely overcome this ordeal… … .”
Pyonagil pretended not to hear the nonsense.
“Please listen carefully. I am giving you one last chance. If you do not succeed within this month, the leader will really cut off the aid.”
However, I couldn’t completely ignore the request from the temple’s owner.
It was not easy to give up the huge amount of money that the cults were giving me.
In the end, it’s all about money. It’s all about money.
“Oh, and here’s one more piece of news that might be helpful… … .”
“What is it?”
I wonder if they’re going to end the conversation soon.
The congregation wears the raincoat’s hat over its head.
“Jung Ha-seong is returning to Seoul.”
Kururung, a small clap of thunder sounded outside.
***
“When you see the word hero, who comes to mind?”
Nine out of ten people today give the same answer.
“I’m Hunter Jeong Ha-seong!”
“That’s Jeong Ha-seong.”
Korea’s first S-class.
The record for the most gates cleared in history.
The strongest in the Yeonhwa series.
These numerous titles refer to only one person.
“Is there anyone in the world who doesn’t know Jeong Ha-seong?”
He was the hope of this generation.
[“Jung Ha-seong, who took down the Baekin Tower alone, is a great achievement” … Sweeping 3 dungeons including A-class]
You know, the world back then was like hell.
Monsters that are immune to humanity’s weapons continue to pour out, and many people die.
At the same time, people with awakening abilities began to appear one by one throughout the country, but it was not enough to restore the previous peace.
“If it weren’t for Hunter Jeong Ha-seong, the map of Korea would have changed by now?”
But then one day.
A huge current that would turn the whole world upside down swept through this peninsula.
The giant demon Kraken appears in the sea off Busan.
Because of that dungeon break, Korea’s first S-rank opened its eyes.
“Gyaaaah! Hunter Jeong Ha-seong!”
“Please look here!”
“Oh, our eyes met. Eyes.”
Among the current generation, there are few who don’t know the Kraken hunting video from six years ago.
At a time when the metropolis of Busan was on the verge of collapse.
The S-class appeared like a comet among the citizens who were holding their breath and splendidly burned the vicious Kraken.
“Seeing it in person really gave me goosebumps!”
“The awakening is amazing.”
“You’re handsome!”
Since then, Korea has been able to stabilize its society at a rapid pace thanks to Jeong Ha-seong’s monstrous performance.
He was an undisputed national hero.
“… … .”
And it is only natural that attention is focused on such a hero who has returned to the capital today.
“I tried to keep it as quiet as possible, but it seems like the information leaked out somewhere. I apologize, Mr. Jeong Ha-seong.”
“it’s okay.”
Jeong Ha-seong glanced at the gathered crowd for a moment.
Up until now, I have been traveling around the provinces without resting for even a moment, dealing with urgent gates… .
“Waaaaaaaaaah!”
“I said hello!”
“hello!”
He greeted the citizens politely without showing any sign of fatigue.
It was the same image management as always.
“Has anything unusual happened here during this time?”
“Yes. Well, there was a minor incident, but it was somehow resolved with Esther’s help.”
Jeong Ha-seong, who entered the association building, checked his clothes in front of the elevator.
“ah.”
And a little later.
He asked the employee a question as if a thought had suddenly occurred to him.
“By the way, what about that F-class thing…?”
“yes?”
“Before I went down to the province, I reported a hunter for falsifying his rank. I was wondering if there were any results.”
Ding! Ding!
“Oh, that re-examination. Actually… … .”
The elevator arrives. However, Jeong Ha-seong stops and turns around after hearing the employee’s response.
“What? A not guilty verdict?”
It was the first time in a long time that he had heard about Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo.
