The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 169

Episode 169. Scenario Gate (3)

And that wasn’t the only headache. It was about three minutes after the tag game started.

“Ugh, ugh… … .”

The C-class hunter finally realized that he couldn’t catch the fairy and soon stopped in his tracks.

He stood still, sweating profusely, and, unable to overcome his fear, he began to pass on his pain to others.

chin!

We captured another raider.

“Gasp, gasp… … .”

But why was it me of all people?

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry… … .”

What shame do you have to apologize now after committing all the crimes you were going to commit?

Flash.

I stared absentmindedly at the ring of light that had moved to my shoulder.

Here, the weaknesses that I failed to fill are clearly revealed. Although I increased my defense with [Sacred Tree Sapling], my other physical abilities are still at rock bottom.

‘I couldn’t avoid the jump.’

hmm.

But that hunter probably doesn’t know that I have poor reflexes.

“Why S-class?”

I glanced at the right arm and asked. Common sense would tell me that if I let an S-class take over, they would come back right away, so I wondered what he was thinking.

“That, that. I’m sorry. I just can’t stand being a drunkard, I, I’m seriously going crazy… …!”

“… … .”

“But, Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo, you’re an S-class, right? Even a fairy… … . Can’t you catch one? Yes?”

“No. Honestly, it would be difficult since you can teleport.”

“Really? But… … .”

The C-class hunter in front of me spoke with panicked eyes.

“But you’re still S-class.”

Even though he was a mid-level hunter, he should have known that his rank wouldn’t have much of an effect on this special gate.

“Wouldn’t it be different if it was an S-class? Well, even if you get punished, you’re strong. You won’t die, right? Right? So, can’t you take the role of the sorcerer, Hunter? Please, please. Please don’t give it back to me… … .”

“This chief!”

Seon Woo-yeon, who couldn’t stand to watch, yelled at her coworker, but I stopped her actions.

“…it’s okay.”

Anyway, there’s no point in arguing about role transfer right now.

As soon as I receive the drink, I calm down from the inside.

You shouldn’t rush to return the mark here. This person is a fake registrant who forged his rank, but the other person is a veteran of the C rank.

‘I’m losing in a battle of agility.’

So, to judge.

I thought I should divert people’s attention elsewhere.

If you take away the tension that flows between the group, that damn employee’s son who passed the buck to me will show his weakness one day.

‘Even aside from that, I have to make sure people don’t get too far away from me!’

Flutter, flutter.

I spoke with all my might, hiding my trembling hands in my pockets.

“The staff member is right. I think it would be better for me to have the Sulae Station.”

“yes?!”

“It’s not good to get too confused in the dungeon in the first place. So, for now, everyone, please calm down… … .”

I won’t give up on you.

As I pretended to be calm and reassuring, as expected, the people around me stopped running away.

The tension is being relieved.

“Are you sure you have it? Really?”

“The fact that you’re staying still like this is proof. Don’t worry and come here. Don’t get lost.”

“hmm.”

“I’ll do something about the fairy. It might be hard to catch, but if the punishment is to eat people, at least it’ll come close.”

I poured out all kinds of sweet talk to narrow the gap between me and the candidates.

In the meantime, I continued to analyze the mark on my arm, but unfortunately, it was not a standard that could be erased with F-class magic power.

That is, if you want to live, you have to somehow pass this on to someone else… … .

‘You f*cking son of a bitch!’

The problem is that the C-class hunter I’m targeting doesn’t enter the range even if he dies.

The employee still remained in his position even after hearing me say that he would not hand over the drink.

No matter how cleverly you try to persuade them, they will never come near you.

Moreover, as the 10 minutes promised by the fairy approached, even the other people who seemed relieved began to secretly distance themselves from the drinker… … .

‘Ugh.’

I’m nervous.

If they were this far away, they would show off their F-class physical abilities to the world when they pass the buck.

‘If I had known this would happen, I should have done something about this clumsy body. No, but my assets are limited, so what do you want me to do?’

My thoughts became complicated, and at that moment, a fairy in the sky spoke softly.

“There’s only 1 minute left~”

We’ve done everything we can to keep people from concentrating on tag.

The sense of crisis skyrocketed again with just one signal from the monster. The raiders took a couple more steps back from me with a tense attitude.

Honestly, I want to smash that fairy’s bright hair.

‘Haaah.’

At this point, I really don’t know what to do.

I thought about it for a moment.

First of all, the person closest to me in terms of location is Seon Woo-yeon.

But that one is B grade.

Even now, he’s just glancing at my mark with a face as frozen as ice, but if I take action, he’ll run away at full speed.

It is reckless to try to play tag with a B-class Awakened.

Then naturally, the victim must be chosen from among those excluding her.

“Hunter, it would be best to start catching fairies now… … .”

“As I said before, it’s impossible. You can tell just by looking at it that it’s using a teleportation skill.”

“but.”

“Not only me, but even if Jeong Ha-seong or Esther comes, that won’t work. One thing is certain, so don’t let them lose their strength in advance.”

50 seconds left.

Now it was time to make a decision.

Should I take revenge on that scoundrel who passed the ring to me, or should I go for the safe, slow analyst?

But it seems that there is a correct answer to this question. If you want to go for sure, you have to target the weak.

I, a C-class hunter belonging to the association, can counter the ring even if it moves just before the end.

If you think about it, that person was also the first to get caught, but there’s no point in holding a grudge against them since they jumped through the ring because they wanted to live.

‘okay.’

If so, it is a value judgment that has always been made.

‘It’s difficult to die in someone’s stead just because you feel sorry for them.’

I have decided to sacrifice an innocent weakling to save this life.

An Alpha Urian-like idea that is far from a just cause.

Although this person is someone who likes altruism, he has never once said that he is good.

However, after a few seconds, someone else suddenly stops that choice.

“… … !”

Magic that came unexpectedly.

A gesture of someone touching your back.

I quickly turned my gaze at the unexpected situation.

Then, what is visible is the long black hair of an Awakened Person.

“what……!”

-chin.

Twinkle!

Seon Woo-yeon, who had touched my back and taken the mark of the thief, soon hesitated and stepped back. She opened her eyes wide as if she too was surprised.

“3 seconds to go!”

And at this moment, a signal flows through the air, signaling the end of the prank.

“2.”

“1.”

“that is…….”

When the fairy did her unpleasant calculations.

The Earthling in a suit explained the reason for his actions in a trembling voice.

“…Mr. Kiryeo is an S-class hunter.”

Strangely enough, the reason was exactly the same as what one of the association staff said.

“Because I’m an S-class hunter… … .”

That you took my mark.

She took a deep breath, imagining the future that was to come. Her face was terrified.

“All done! Then, the drinker’s punishment starts now!”

The 10 minutes ended at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, a green afterimage appears on the fairy’s fingertips.

The afterimage grew into a powerful flash, stretching out at a speed that was like light.

What is finally heard is a dull, thud-like noise.

“Seonwooyeon!”

The Association’s B-class hunter collapsed without even making a sound as his stomach was pierced.

Krrrrrp.

The wingless fairy laughed quite lightly even after doing something like this.

I wish I could just strip that fairy of her skin right now.

Now was not the time for that. Seon Woo-yeon, whose abdomen had been pierced, was still bleeding on the floor.

“why?”

The other party has already told me the reason.

I still don’t understand what the Earthlings did. I have questions.

“Why on earth?”

What does it matter if someone else is an S-class hunter?

I urgently checked Seon Woo-yeon’s condition.

A wound measuring approximately 4 cm in diameter penetrating the side.

Even now, lukewarm blood, typical of homeotherms, is flowing out of the wound, and looking at this, a thought suddenly occurred to me…

‘uh?’

It’s not instant death?

Yes, it’s not instant death.

The area that was hit was not related to a vital point, and after calming down, the amount of bleeding itself was not particularly severe.

‘Wait a minute, now that I look at it, it’s almost like a light injury?’

Come to think of it… … .

Because of the fairies’ behavior during the festival, everyone secretly thought that the punishment would be death.

Looking back, I don’t think that guy Apa ever directly said that he would kill me if I lost the game.

As soon as I realized that Seonwooyeon was in a treatable condition, my mind was instantly cleared.

“Potion!”

I finally shouted towards the back.

“Has anyone brought some restorative medicine? Give it to me now. Quickly!”

Then another employee of the association took out a medicine. It was a liquid that looked like a mid-level recovery medicine.

I poured the medicine he gave me into the wound in front of me.

Fortunately, the magic gun avoided the bones and major organs, so regeneration proceeded quite quickly.

Given the current situation.

It is highly likely that Seon Woo-yeon fainted not because of serious injuries, but because of nervousness and fear of death.

“ah…….”

As expected, I woke him up by shaking his shoulder and he came back to consciousness without difficulty.

She opened her eyes wide and took a deep breath as if she had just emerged from water.

“Huh? There’s a head… … . I’m not dead, am I, am I alive?”

It looks like he’s still half-asleep.

I sat down next to her as she rambled and explained.

“The punishment was different.”

“yes?”

“We misunderstood that the fairies in the square were killing people, but this time they just drilled holes in their bodies and that was it.”

Then Seon Woo-yeon opens his mouth slightly.

She seems quite surprised at her own survival, but it’s nothing compared to the bewilderment I felt.

This guy never expected that a B-class hunter would do something like throw away his life.

“No, but what on earth were you thinking when you took it?”

I asked because I was genuinely curious about what was inside an alien’s brain, and Seon Woo-yeon answered.

“It seems like Mr. Kiryeo really won’t let that go… … .”

“yes?”

“Maybe I could lose an S-class hunter in a place like this, but that’s a bit… not really… ?”

Seon Woo-yeon had made such a brave sacrifice, yet he still looked terrified.

It seemed as if the aftereffects of having decided to die, even if only for a short time, remained.

“Actually, saying that it’s because I’m an S-class is just an excuse, I just did it because I felt uncomfortable.”

“… .”

“… Since what happened to my parents, I can’t stand seeing others get hurt in front of me.”

“… .”

“That’s why I said that to put my mind at ease. Actually, to put my mind at ease… … .”

She continued.

I’m originally like this, so I would have brought the drink even if it weren’t for you, so don’t feel sorry.

Of course, even without saying that, I didn’t really feel guilty since I was the soul of Alphauri…

I fell into a long silence after hearing Seonwooyeon’s remarks.

“Hunter?”

And at this moment, a voice suddenly cuts in from the air, interrupting my efforts to organize my thoughts.

“-Thank you all for granting my wish!”

A high, rending laugh. A fairy-like note.

“Playing was fun. It was so much fun! I’ll write about today in my diary. I’m glad you all came to the kingdom.”

Chatter chatter.

At this time, the other people could not hide their anger at the fairy’s remark and frowned.

No matter how much you say annoying things, it’s just a puppet that acts according to the blueprint.

“Please stand and hold each other’s arms.”

“Oh, thank you… … .”

It’s foolish to put your emotions into things.

So I ignored the fairy and took care of Seonwooyeon. Even though I took a recovery potion, I thought she would need support for a while.
