Episode 302. Holiday (3)
On the other hand, it was also regrettable that Kim Ki-ryeo could not recruit him to the Korean Tower Guild.
‘If an equal relationship is difficult, I would like to achieve at least one thing in some other way.’
The best way for hunters to become friends with each other is to form a regular team.
‘Perhaps our Jeong Ha-seong, who is on standby for the team, will also waste his time drinking until he dies of old age because he was unable to properly digest the secret… … .’
haha.
But will that cold-faced hunter really need a companion in this life?
“Esther Hunter. Why, why are you sighing? Was I too slow in marking the magic stone?”
“No way.”
Esther grew more and more worried, feeling regretful that the hunter in front of her did not enter the guild.
One alien furtively observed the sorcerer’s expression, and only after he was sure that the other person was not particularly angry did he think this.
‘Fortunately, it works well.’
Crunch crunch.
He stroked his gloves silently in a corner where Esther couldn’t see.
‘The experiment is complete.’
Not just A-class demons.
A magical tool that can absorb even invisible cursed powers if directed properly.
‘As a wizard, I was reluctant to walk around with my bare hands exposed, which play an important role in the magic, so I’m glad that such a good outer material has been created!’
This makes [Midnight Gloves] perfectly complete.
As of today, he has one more viable means of survival.
So, I finished the work of marking the magic stone, barely holding back the hum that was about to spill out.
It was the end of a long outing.
***
Some time later.
A municipal awakening sports facility in Seoul.
“Your right shoulder is too low. Jeong Ha-seong, is your body slightly asymmetrical?”
I am.
I’m finally back to my normal routine.
In fact, it has been quite some time since we regained the current state of peace.
I dealt with the crazy skill stealer and crafted new equipment to my liking.
After doing all that, he still had enough money left over, so honestly, what hardships could there be in a person’s life?
‘I got enough sleep and food that I couldn’t get in my previous life.’
There’s no need to explain what happened over the past two weeks.
Almost all of South Korea was peaceful.
And when I say peace here, I mean that the plan I started this year is coming to a smooth conclusion.
A teaching activity worth a whopping 3 billion won per month.
There were various things going on so it was postponed.
No, to be honest, I still have a lot of things to do.
But wouldn’t it be neat to finish a curriculum that costs this much money properly?
“Asymmetry? Really?”
“No. It was just the posture that was wrong. I saw it wrong.”
But in fact, the reason I returned to the position of a professor was not only because of that sense of responsibility.
Even if we somehow blew all the compensation money that Imabari of Japan gave us, we can’t afford to buy the best place to live.
“Hmm.”
Recently, the atmosphere in the world I was reincarnated into has been strange.
[Is this also another result of ‘ecosystem destruction’? US government officially acknowledges the rise in global gate difficulty]
[“Should I look into something else?” The unexpected ordeal of an F-class hunter… … .]
[[Column] The Rareness of the Horned Rabbit, the Lowest Monster. Is It Appropriate to Designate Dungeon Creatures as an Endangered Species?]
This was a fact that could be quickly discovered just by visiting electronic newspaper sites on the Internet.
In this way, the headlines of various newspapers only suggest one trend, so how can you not know this unless you are someone who does not read the news at all?
‘I don’t think this is something to laugh about.’
To summarize the contents of the articles I’ve read so far, the problem was this.
Why is the difficulty of dungeons in the world starting to rise?
‘This is a laughing matter… … .’
Even though it hasn’t been a major cataclysm yet, new demons are appearing frequently in various dungeons.
What was most shocking was the research results of mammals that showed that the concept of an F-class gate could disappear from the world in just 10 years.
[“Should I look into something else?” The unexpected ordeal of an F-class hunter… … .]
This means that this article originated from that phenomenon.
Originally, Earthlings perceived the dungeon difficulty as being like the four seasons, with easy and difficult sections simply repeated.
It’s been 8 years since the Dungeon Shock, and now that statistics have been accumulated, I’ve belatedly realized that their strength is on the rise…
‘It’s only natural that the more the host gets used to the stimulation, the more intense the pain it wants to inflict.’
I crossed my arms and thought for a moment.
‘But the problem is always speed. Why does everything happen so fast on Earth?’
28% of safe entities that pose little harm to humans, such as F-class monsters [Poison Butterfly], have already disappeared from Earth.
The extinction of a species is something we must be wary of, no matter what the underlying reasons.
‘Even if it’s a creature created through unnatural means.’

If the F-class gates disappear completely in 10 years.
Perhaps, rather, jobs that utilize superpowers may expand in each country.
‘Strictly speaking, this isn’t even a real F-class.’
Who would know about unemployment for the awakened?
People of Earth. This side just hates working!
‘Ugh, I’ve been feeling more and more defeated lately, so I’ve been calling myself a great wizard less, but I’ll never have a proper job again.’
Exit… … .
Anyway, I was trying to think of that ridiculous word that was so hard to even finish.
And I thought to myself.
‘under.’
This phenomenon of increasing dungeon difficulty is ultimately a protest by the spirits to eat more food.
But this body has lost all of its status as a magician and has become a half-eater.
‘f*ck.’
The statistical results produced by Earthlings are concerning in many ways.
‘I can do whatever it takes to get to the Ice Body. The monster wave generated by the Spirit Body is a bit… . . . ‘
How can an F-rank hunter, who treats all kinds of barriers as dust, win a fight against enhanced monsters?
‘If these basic settings are messed up, won’t I get swept away as well?’
Flutter, flutter.
The more I think about the future, the more I feel like I’m stuck in a dead end.
So, I decided to steadily study ways to develop the growth talents of this body – Kim Ki-ryeo.
Of course, we will also look for shortcuts in case the research does not yield results in the short term.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to keep a sturdy weapon to protect me.
“Phew…….”
“…….”
I turn my head and see a familiar mammal statue in the center of the gym.
I glanced briefly at the man sitting cross-legged.
As you can see from the appearance, the new owner of the house is currently engaged in a meditative activity.
Jeongsu-ri.
shoulder.
Thighs, ankles, etc.
The state of having low-level ignition stones placed all over the body allowed for the sense of heat, which is mainly handled by fire magicians, to be further sharpened.
‘I wanted to flatter him as much as possible because he was a kind landlord, a rare sight in a capitalist society.’
But during this correction process, the same problem was discovered again.
‘You’re dull.’
Jeong Ha-seong is a serious theorist… … .
Since I was exempted from paying rent, I tried to package it as an advantage as much as possible, but in other words, it meant that he was just a guy with no sense of magic.
The growth method taught in the class so far was good because it was structured so that you could achieve as much as you wanted depending on the amount of practice as long as you understood the principle.
The final skill I’m teaching now is 90% intuition.
No. It’s an unfair power that only considers talent.
‘The lessons I prepared are all over.’
Honestly, I don’t think Jeong Ha-seong will be able to properly perfect that skill.
The final skill of a pyromancer who surrounds his body with flames, forming a unified offense and defense.
Well, even if it is a species that originated from fire, how could it be easy for an ordinary mammal to do that?
‘But if you keep practicing like that, you’ll be able to control your overflowing magical power more and more sharply. It won’t be a loss for Jeong Ha-seong anyway.’
I put my hands into the pockets of my new suit.
‘But from the perspective of a teacher, I often think that it’s a waste of time. I should finish this class quickly and not drag it out just to get paid… ‘
And after waiting for a moment, the alarm I had set in advance on my phone rang.
5pm.
Today’s class ended safely.
‘Ugh.’
We left the Awakened-only gym just in time for the closing ceremony.
But around this time.
During class, a group of students who had never asked questions suddenly started talking.
“Hunter.”
“uh?”
“By the way, I haven’t seen those gloves before. Did you get a new item?”
Earth-style leather gloves.
This is a secret measure that I have prepared by spending a billion won.
Besides, there is no real magic on Earth that can be called [Memorize] yet, so there is no need to reveal all the secrets.
“I just got something suitable because my hands were numb. It’s called a unicorn’s hide.”
“It’s not even September yet?”
“Chronic Raynaud’s disease.”
ah.
As he spoke proudly, showing the back of his hand with leather, the innocent Jeong Ha-seong nodded as if he understood.
And after that, as the questions were resolved, only pointless conversations flowed.
“Hey, Ha-seong. When I get home today, I’ll make some soybean paste stew.”
“yes?”
“I’ve been living off of you, so it’s been hard for me to say anything. No matter how much I think about it, the stew you order from the side dish shop just doesn’t taste good.”
“Stew?”
“I see you’re always slurping the soup because it doesn’t suit your taste. People usually eat well… As the saying goes, your skills will come out well.”
I wanted to eat a specific menu, but since I didn’t own the kitchen, I was in a situation where I had to pretend to be kind to the landlord and take charge of choosing the dinner menu.
A little later.
The operation was successful.
Jeong Ha-seong was fooled into starting his car by the words that he needed to eat a balanced diet to achieve magical achievements.
Originally, I was planning to go to a nearby grocery store, buy some ingredients, and then go home.
‘I must have saved on rent, I should have spent some money to buy good materials.’
By the way, there must be something special about Earth’s passenger cars.
I have no idea what it is.
‘hmm.’
By the time the car driven by Jeong Ha-seong arrived.
I just feel like this one has a much broader perspective.
I just wanted to sit in the back right seat for personal preference.
But at this time, the number one ranked person expressed his bewilderment by shaking his magic power greatly.
Why was the driver surprised when I tried to sit in the back since there were empty seats anyway?
‘What on earth does that mean?’
If you hesitate here, it will only make things look even stranger.
So I tried hard to ignore that reaction and just stubbornly pushed ahead with my choice.
‘Let’s see. First, here are the essentials. Seasoning, zucchini, tofu… ‘
It was around the time when I was sitting in my favorite seat and just waiting to arrive at my destination.
Ring ring.
Ring ring.
The noise in the drama that my body’s original owner had seen in passing while alive soon became reality.
In other words, the car was filled with the sound of a song set as the default alarm tone on the cell phone.
I changed the ringtone to the sound of water drops just in case I got a new cell phone.
‘f*ck.’
The cell phone of the number one hunter in South Korea cries.
Where in the world is there a more ominous sign than this?
“The phone….”
Soon the driver’s signal turned red.
The car stopped moving for a moment after violating the road rules. Jeong Ha-seong pressed the button on the steering wheel to connect the call remotely.
-Hey… … !
“I’m driving.”
Ha-seong, who informed me of my situation, had a calm demeanor overall.
This situation seems familiar.
But the person on the other end of the phone was shouting something in a panic as if he was on fire.
chin.
I sat there, lost in thought, my elbows propped on the doorframe next to my seat.
‘oh my.’
As expected from a planet with a saying that goes, “A flower only lasts for a day,” the peace of the leaf hunters doesn’t last even a month.
.
.
.
What is the identity of the contact that reached Jeong Ha-seong?
Without further ado, the Korean Hunter Association was currently in a state of total emergency.
“Anyway, Hunter… I’m sorry for contacting you while you’re driving. But if you have time, I would appreciate it if you could come to the association.”
The problem isn’t the soybean paste stew, it’s just that I have to somehow make room, even if it’s just by straining the rice.
-Is it really urgent?
A man with an announcer-like voice asks a question.
But the comments from the association guide that followed were enough to convince him right away.
Perhaps because words that even outsiders who are not familiar with the Hunter’s work might remember were soon mentioned.
“I’m sorry, but we have so many questions to ask you, Hunter.”
Hey, hey.
The association’s guide was holding the receiver and shaking his legs.
The guide soon revealed the culprit to the S-class hunter who was connected to the call.
“Oh, this is a big deal. In Sejong City, [Baek In Tower] has appeared……”
