Hunting (1)
‘Okay, let’s review what we’ve learned so far.’
‘…What are you doing?’
‘I told you to review. No, how much have you learned? Let’s check your progress.’
Woo Hee-jae made the same expression as Woo I-rok when he was told to go to bed quickly since it was past his prime time.
Woo Hee-jae spoke with a frown, not knowing whether he knew that I was poking him occasionally on purpose to see that expression.
‘What are you going to do with that?’
‘What are you doing? Of course, it’s supplementary lessons.’
‘Are you trying to imitate the teacher?’
‘Oh my. Even though he’s a principal, he’s still a teacher.’
‘It’s the end of the world, the end of the world… .’
But Woo Hee-jae couldn’t overcome Hong Seok-young’s stubbornness. It was because his stubbornness had a legitimate reason. No, if there was a reason, shouldn’t it not be called stubbornness?
Rather, it would have been understandable for Hong Seok-young to feel wronged, but he didn’t care at all.
‘Of course I know that our Heejae studied hard!’
‘Who is our Heejae?’
‘Still, this dad is worried.’
‘Who is your father?’
‘Our Heejae… Have you caught a wizard?’
‘So who are we… Yes?’
‘I think I need to know this for the future.’
There is more to be said about magic than just magical power. In the sense that it is a power that has not yet been properly discovered. Of course, there is also a bit of gossip about magicians.
Although it is rare to encounter monsters that use magic in dungeons, it is not difficult to encounter them. It is not uncommon for the entire dungeon to be covered in hallucinations or illusions, deceiving the raid party.
However, there is a fundamental difference between the magic used by humans and the magic used by monsters. If you ask a magician, it is difficult to understand because they answer with complicated and difficult words, but Hong Seok-young instinctively knew the difference.
The use of magic is different.
Of course, if you ask Hong Seok-young what that means, he would only be able to say that it is different.
Hong Seok-young carefully checked whether Woo Hee-jae had learned from his future self how to escape from the monsters that use magic, illusions, and hallucinations. Since they are thinking beings, illusions and hallucinations are bound to happen at least once. So the next step is important. Get out quickly and kill the monsters quickly so that they can’t do anything anymore.
Yes. If it’s a monster, it’s easy. You can just run away to the gate or aim for the dungeon core.
‘But Noah Michelle too… and Sem Bloom too. What if another human wizard shows up?’
‘…I am.’
‘No, no. It’s not about how to kill a wizard, but how to subdue one. It’s good to know this. Even if you’re not a wizard, you’ll surprisingly find many uses for it.’
So, the current Hong Seok-young also taught Woo Hee-jae.
Can we just leave the future Hong Seok-young to teach his son? There are still a few tricks left that can be taught to the present Hong Seok-young, that’s what I’m saying!
… Well, even if it’s something that the future Hong Seok-young didn’t teach on purpose. Who knows if there are other things he can teach? There’s still a lot of time left. There’s a lot of time to do things he hasn’t done. This time, with his two sons.
‘But.’
‘hmm?’
‘How do you know this?’
‘ha ha ha.’
‘…Why are you laughing like that?’
As expected, he has a naive side. This is proof that he has not done any of this.
Hong Seok-young smiled mischievously and asked Woo Hee-jae a question instead.
‘Why does someone who graduated from the film department have so little imagination?’
‘… … .’
A face that clearly shows that one is in a bad mood.
Even though he didn’t act like that in front of the kids or other hunters, his face relaxed a lot and it felt good to see him finally starting to feel comfortable with himself.
‘It’s all real, real.’
‘Practice.’
‘Yeah. Hehe, there are so many bad people in the world.’
‘… I guess so.’
The smart son never asked the same question again. He must have guessed something as he pondered the events of the future with Hong Seok-young.
Neither that Hong Seok-young nor this Hong Seok-young want to teach people how to kill.
However, if you are in danger of dying, it is the parents’ wish that you survive even if you kill someone else. It is not that you are asking them to kill an innocent person, but is it wrong to defend yourself from someone who is attacking you?
Really, if, if a human named Hong Seok-young dies, I have to make it so that he can at least protect his own body… .
“haha.”
Hong Seok-young laughed.
In movies, there’s always a character who says something like this who dies.
But, while acting all that way, didn’t you tell your son how to catch the wizard without getting hurt? You can’t fail here. No matter how cute your son is, it hurts a lot when he’s laughed at.
No, even if he isn’t my son, my pride as the strongest hunter is damaged.
“Eeeeek!!”
“Oh my.”
“Eww!!!!”
“You can’t even speak properly now?”
The first step to subduing the wizard.
Prevents the use of magic.
“If you move around like that… it’s crazy!”
Then how do you disable magic?
“Did you think it would be beneficial to wait?”

You just have to not give them a chance to use magic.
Magic is ultimately about drawing out magical power. Compared to other awakened beings who can at best just use up the magical power in their bodies, magicians are a profession with poor fuel efficiency. They have to draw in all the magical power in the vicinity. The greater the power of the magic, the more magical power is consumed, and that is something that cannot be hidden in any way.
Any hunter of any skill can easily read the flow of magical power.
Of course, an ordinary hunter would not be able to instinctively read the weak points in the flow of magical power and cut them off, or stab a spear into the center where a hidden magician is, but Hong Seok-young is not an ordinary hunter.
“I guess you didn’t hear who I was?”
The second step to subduing the wizard.
Taunt the wizard.
It doesn’t matter if this comes first. Most of the magicians Hong Seok-young has encountered so far, except for a handful, were stubborn people who were obsessed with pride and stubbornness. If you just say something that ignores magic and make them unable to use a few spells, they get excited easily. And in a fight, excitement often means making a mistake.
‘That’s a bit… Don’t you think it’s not necessary to say that it’s a method to catch a wizard? And besides, it seems like this is a method that only you can use?’
‘Oh, I don’t remember raising Heejae to be that weak.’
‘That’s because I didn’t raise it.’
Well, it wouldn’t have been any different if it had been done in a more orthodox way.
The most important thing in catching a wizard is to prevent him from using magic.
Anyway, wizards aren’t monsters, and the magic they can use against humans is limited. Humans aren’t big enough to just stand there and be hit with blinding magic like monsters. What kind of magic would you use against a small, nimble hunter who isn’t even an unawakened one? You’d just use a magic with a large range to take them down in one go.
That’s also why the crimes of wizards are more focused on illegal distribution of monster byproducts than on humans.
The current magic of wizards is not suitable for targeting humans.
‘So what I’m saying is that if you only know the magic that wizards can use against humans, you can easily deal with them.’
‘…There’s also attribute magic.’
‘From there, it’s application. Anyway, the magic used here will be the same on the other side. A magic that turns it into a sea of fire? There’s a magic that turns it into a sea of water with the water attribute.’
However, there are exceptions everywhere.
Hong Seok-young keenly noticed the twisting of the magical power. He lowered himself close to the ground to hide it, but he could not have been unaware of the writhing magical power.
But what stopped Hong Seok-young was the eerieness of that magic.
The fear I felt as a child, getting out of bed and walking down the dark hallway of the orphanage to go to the bathroom. The terror. The weakness.
Disgusting.
The magical power that crawls on the damp floor opens its mouth like a snake. Is this the magical power that clearly shows the characteristics of a wizard?
Hong Seok-young wiggled his eyebrows.
‘But… there’s one thing you need to be careful about.’
‘Is there just one?’
‘Wouldn’t it be a shame if there were two?’
‘To whom?’
‘To a man named Hong Seok-young?’
‘Ah yes….’
‘… Adventure. Anyway, if it’s normal attribute magic, you should be able to defeat it with your skills. But.’
‘but?’
‘If it’s unique magic, it’s different.’
‘Unique magic? I don’t think you’ll ever have to fight an archmage.’
‘Was Noah Michel just a wizard?’
‘… … .’
‘Noah Michel’s unique magic is well known, but… who knows. I don’t think there isn’t a hidden trick.’
Hong Seok-young spoke firmly to Woo Hee-jae.
‘When you meet someone who uses unique magic.’
‘… … .’
‘Run away for now.’
‘…yes?’
‘No one knows what kind of magic will come out. Why take unnecessary risks? After running away, you can figure out the guy’s magic and then take action. If you can’t run away, you can kill the guy before the magic is cast.’
‘Hmm… .’
‘There must be a great wizard that Heejae knows about… What about that great wizard’s unique magic?’
‘… I know that too.’
‘If I get hit, will I be able to escape?’
‘… … It may not be completely impossible, but it seems like it would be difficult.’
‘Then you know what I’m talking about.’
Hong Seok-young’s educational philosophy is one.
Let me teach you what I can do.
Wouldn’t it be funny if I taught something I can’t even do?
The classes that the model high school students had a hard time keeping up with were because Hong Seok-young taught them what they ‘could do.’
Therefore, Hong Seok-young can do everything that he taught Woo Hee-jae.
It even teaches you to run away if you can’t win right away.
Because there’s no shame in running away.
“… … !”
That’s a unique magic. It’s a magic that turns a mediocre wizard into a great wizard.
‘What on earth is the great wizard doing that makes him do such a thing!’
The same could be said of Noah Michel… .
Hong Seok-young scratched the magic power crawling on the floor with his spear. The magic power was torn to pieces, but it was not enough to stop the magic that was already half-completed.
Should I run away?
If this place was outside the dungeon, Hong Seok-young would have run away without hesitation. Even if he was a great wizard, what would he do if he ran away several kilometers in an instant? Even Kim Chae-min couldn’t pull out vines that long.
But this is inside a dungeon. Even that wizard had already come in first and was setting up camp.
Even if you run away, you can’t be sure if you’ll be able to escape unless you get out of the gate.
Oh, so that’s why.
So that’s why he was waiting.
Therefore, Hong Seok-young has only one path to choose.
Kill the bastard before the magic is completed.
It’s not like I was paying any attention to it earlier.
The bastard had wrapped himself in dozens of layers of magic to hide himself from Hong Seok-young. Invisibility magic, defensive magic… He was destroying them one by one, but somehow, he said they were strangely strong.
Hong Seok-young gritted his teeth. He felt pain in his shoulder. A severed tendon can be repaired. A severed arm can be reattached.
But a dead life cannot be brought back to life.
Hong Seok-young’s spear pierces dozens of layers of magic.
Instead of his arms being torn to shreds and blood gushing out like a fountain, Hong Seok-young laughed like an animal.
A new line was just added to the dog tag I was wearing around my neck.
Through the broken magic, the wizard’s horrified face is visible. The other hand holding the spear is grabbing the wizard’s throat…
The magic is complete.
