The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 124

Episode 124. Schadenfreude

monday.

I leaned against the wall of my studio apartment and scrolled through my phone.

The electronic device I was holding had these words floating around in it.

[Title: Reporting the school violence suffered by Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo.]

Let’s see, Kim Ki-ryeo was a perpetrator of school violence.

“Group bullying, assault, threats… … .”

This post, which was uploaded 24 hours ago, lists a wide variety of sins.

Strangely enough, the gravity of the situation didn’t hit me.

My flawed body couldn’t remember even though things had gotten to this point.

“Kim Ki-ryeo was this kind of guy?”

However, there are several issues that make it difficult to dismiss the content of a post as false simply because you don’t remember it.

①Kim Ki-ryeo is a smoker.

②Kim Ki-ryeo dyed his hair.

Okay, so far so good, right?

③Kim Ki-ryeo has the ability to drive a motorcycle.

But when this was added, the atmosphere became strange.

I also found out about this by chance a while ago… … .

‘I noticed this while moving Kang Chang-ho’s motorcycle, which had collapsed during an inevitable evil. This body knows how to drive a two-wheeled vehicle.’

As it turned out, this body had quite a high level of ability to handle a motorcycle.

Smoking. Hair dyeing. Motorcycles.

In fact, it is impossible to distinguish between good and evil with such fragmentary information.

I know that this is a narrow interpretation.

“hmm.”

But unless there are other judgment materials,

Isn’t it inevitable that we will feel anxious too?

“Kim Ki-ryeo, this guy, really… … .”

I tilted my head, imagining the body owner’s past.

But at this time.

A new notification floated up above my turned-on phone screen.

[Yoonseung Ahn☎]

-Brother! I was worried because there were so many articles pouring out since morning, so I contacted you. Are you okay?

But I had nothing to say to the questions that followed.

-By the way, those posts are all fabricated, right? There’s no way you would have done something like that during your school days.

I was silent for a while, holding my cell phone.

‘Well, I don’t know.’

I don’t remember.

From the victim’s perspective, there couldn’t be a more shameless answer than this.

***

Korean netizens are currently outraged over a common topic.

One day ago from now.

Because this kind of post appeared on the Internet.

————————————=

I am reporting the school violence I suffered at the hands of Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo.

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

I live every day like hell.

First of all, I want to make it clear that this article is absolutely not false.

I am a classmate of S-class hunter Kim Ki-ryeo, whose face can be easily seen in various media outlets these days.

But these days, every time I see that face on TV, I feel tired.

Especially when I see that hunter being packaged as some kind of hero for the citizens, I can’t stand it anymore.

Do you know what Kim Ki-ryeo’s school days were like?

He was a thug. He was also called a bully.

And when I was in the third year of middle school, I was bullied by him and had a hellish year, and eventually I dropped out of school.

I couldn’t overcome the emotional wounds.

But the person who made me like this was lucky enough to awaken and now shamelessly treats me like a hero.

Frankly, I know that hunters are not obligated to be morally innocent.

Even if I write something here, that hunter will just continue to make money and live a good life.

But I hope everyone at least knows what kind of person he is.

————————————=

Someone even gave up their studies because of Kim Ki-ryeo.

What followed was truly frown-worthy bullying.

If you read it carefully, there were some things that were so risqué that you wondered if it was really something a student did.

————————————=

While other children were happy when the school bell rang, for me, that sound was the most frightening.

Because I had to be dragged to him after school and get my ass kicked.

Have you ever been punched below the collarbone?

A flat area where the breastbone can be felt and has little flesh.

If you get hit there, you’ll really lose your breath for a moment.

I can’t breathe. And it hurts so much that tears come out, but strangely enough, even if you get hit here, it doesn’t show that much.

If you don’t hit it with a lot of force, it doesn’t leave a bruise, and it’s not visible even when wearing short sleeves…

So I got hit here every time I got the chance.

At this time too, I had to hold my breath and keep my posture straight.

If you even bent your back, Kim Ki-ryeo would hit you a few more times for not standing up straight.

————————————=

But it’s not just violence.

Extortion, blackmail, framing, etc.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the past of Kim Ki-ryeo as described by the writer is trash.

It completely ruined one person’s school days.

————————————=

If you ask me why I didn’t get help from adults, I wouldn’t know what to say.

Now that I think about it, there must have been better, wiser ways than just enduring it… … .

At that time, I was just so scared.

One time, Kim Ki-ryeo was holding a pair of art room scissors at my desk and saying, “Where is that kid going to go and be a troublemaker? Then let’s just go find him and his XX and take them down,” and he brought up my family.

How could the thought of rebelling ever enter your head?

————————————=

The author then describes the damage in detail.

At the bottom of the post, he attached evidence to support what he said.

First, certification of one’s alma mater’s uniform.

And the remaining one is these two pictures.

‘picture?’

The photo posted by the author showed a female student crying and being roughly dragged away by a male student.

The female student’s identity is unclear due to the light mosaic effect.

The male students were relatively easy to recognize.

“Oh, your hair is black now?”

Kim Ki-ryeo.

In other words, this is a scene from the past where Kim Ki-ryeo is dragging someone.

————————————=

As such, the targets of school violence were not limited to boys and girls.

He also forced girls to do things that were difficult to even express in words.

These pictures were taken impulsively, in case I ever had to report him in the future.

————————————=

If clear evidence had come out, what would the atmosphere have been like then?

Citizens who saw the exposure article were shocked.

Moreover, after about an hour, the bulletin board began to pour in testimonies from other classmates.

[There’s probably no one in the neighborhood who doesn’t know him. I’ve been keeping my mouth shut up until now too~ㅋㅋ]

[Keeryeoya. Do you remember? You were trying to puncture a cigarette at my grandmother’s supermarket, and when she kept asking for your ID, you brought your friends over and caused all kinds of trouble. You were swearing at the helpless old woman and being rude. At first, I wondered who would have done that to my grandmother, but later, when I checked the CCTV, it was you. The eyes that were glaring at that person.]

Because of this, the tower that the aliens had built collapsed in an instant… … .

***

Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever really thought deeply about what kind of person Kim Ki-ryeo is.

First of all, since no one is looking for him, I didn’t bother to imitate the ‘real Kim Ki-ryeo’.

But who would have thought that such a huge landmine was hidden in the gaps in my memory that I had left unattended?

“hmm.”

To cut to the chase, I’m screwed.

The image that was being built smoothly with the Siren and D-class training cases was completely shattered.

“uh?”

“Look over there.”

“It’s Kim Ki-ryeo… … .”

I walked forward, ignoring the noises coming from behind me.

For reference, this is the dungeon by-product purchase center in Seogyo-dong.

To be honest, I didn’t want to go out at this time either, but the loot I got from Mermaid Pass was all things that would be difficult to keep for a long time.

“Hunter number 61~”

“yes.”

Whack.

I got rid of all the unnecessary items like Siren’s scales at once.

Of course, even at this moment, the gaze that followed me did not disappear.

The hunter industry is mostly made up of young people, so everyone is familiar with the Internet.

The rumor will probably spread more rapidly as time goes by.

‘f*cking information society.’

For now, they are insisting to the reporters that it is groundless, but how long will this last?

I set out on my way, envisioning a bleak future.

Since I had finished my business, I was thinking of going home.

“older brother!”

But at that time.

Suddenly I heard this sound from behind me.

“Ah, Seungah Yoon.”

“Hello! It’s nice to see you all here.”

When I turned my head, the same A-class figure was standing there, as expected.

I see you’re holding an item box in your hand. It looks like you’re here to sell something too.

“Wow, why is it so cold today?”

Whoosh.

I ignored the chattering Yunseung and looked around.

Then the expressions of the other hunters come into view.

-Ah… Now that I think about it, Ahn Yoon-seung is close with that S-class.

A lot of talk.

As expected, it seems that Ahn Yoon-seung has also become a target of criticism as he approaches me, the center of controversy.

“Oh, right!”

What the heck.

Ahn Yoon-seung doesn’t care about this atmosphere and speaks to me without hesitation.

No, rather, he came out more confidently.

“Brother Kiryeo! Now that I think about it, what are you planning to do about that?”

“what?”

“Internet posts. Honestly, hyung, you probably don’t care about small things due to your personality… But I definitely think that spreading rumors should be prosecuted. If you let those people off, they’ll continue to do bad things!”

Ahn Yoon-seung spoke confidently.

In fact, I thought my brother might be busy, so I gathered the necessary materials for the lawsuit on his behalf.

My brother said that if I just say the word, I can immediately call a lawyer from the law firm or something like that.

“okay?”

But isn’t all this only possible if I’m truly innocent?

“… … .”

I rolled my eyes into space and said quietly.

“An Yoon-seung.”

“yes?”

“What if that article is true?”

What follows is a brief assumption.

“What if I really did some crappy things when I was a student and now I’m hiding it and pretending to be a new person?”

But what… … .

It’s already obvious what the conclusion will be.

From what I’ve seen so far, this Earthling named Ahn Yoon-seung seems to be quite conscientious…

Yeah, because he has altruistic genes.

‘A person who ruins other people’s lives won’t be able to get along even if you give him a thousand pieces of gold. This is difficult. This Earthling has been a great help in many ways.’

I became anxious that the friendship I had worked so hard to build would be broken.

however.

I never expected the other person to give me an answer like this.

“I don’t worry about that.”

A little later.

Ahn Yoon-seung said with confidence.

“Human nature doesn’t change. Well, I haven’t lived that long yet, but at least that’s what I’ve experienced so far.”

“… .”

“Kids who showed off their strength in school usually behave similarly when they grow up.”

There was no wavering in his eyes.

“There’s no way someone who lived so selfishly during his school days would personally save an A-class student who was left alone in front of a golem.”

“… .”

“Besides, when a gate of unknown origin occurs, it seems unlikely that anyone will be pushed out of the line of light to save others.”

“… .”

“So I trust you, brother.”

It seems like this Earthling trusts me.

“I believe in you now, brother.”

So firmly.

‘Good alien neighbors… … .’

I was momentarily moved when I heard Ahn Yoon-seung’s words, but then a loud alarm went off in someone’s pocket.

-Tiron♪

Then, Ahn Yoon-seung hurriedly took out my cell phone.

“Oh, it’s a keyword notification! Actually, I set it to notify me of new posts when my brother’s name is mentioned while I was preparing the lawsuit materials.”

Key…what?

I barely understood the Internet lingo he was spouting off, but I just brushed it off.

But why doesn’t Ahn Yoon-seung have a good expression on his face? What on earth is he looking at?

————————==

Title: Kim Ki-ryeo lol

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

(Photo attached)

I used to do this all the time in high school. What kind of neutral gear is that?

————————==

I poked my head out and glanced at the cell phone screen that Yunseung was looking at.

What you see is a photo attached to the post.

‘It’s blonde this time?’

To be exact, it was a photo of the deceased Kim Ki-ryeo smoking in a narrow alley.

I don’t know why he’s crouching so miserably, but whatever.

Ahn Yoon-seung, who checked the post, spoke in a thin voice.

“Do you… smoke?”

To this I replied:

“I’m quitting smoking.”
