Episode 105. Press Conference
After checking later, I found out that the website where the article appeared was a third-rate media outlet notorious for its low credibility.
So I think other people will quickly realize that this article is fake… … .
‘shit.’
The problem is the text in the title of the article.
Kim Ki-ryeo. Finally, even the name of this body has been exposed to the media.
Besides, the world doesn’t even give me time to panic, because right after that, a new call came to the phone in my hand.
‘Did my number get hacked too?’
I looked at the screen carefully.
What you see is a unique array of eight numbers.
I remembered which agency that contact was associated with.
‘I called you once when I was a flower boy.’
Isn’t this the representative number of the Korean Hunter Association?
***
A little later.
Kim Ki-ryeo received a call and arrived at the Hunter Association.
But I never thought that the call would come from such a high-ranking person.
The person in front of me is none other than the head of this organization.
Because he was Chairman Koh Byeong-do.
“Okay, everyone, sit down comfortably.”
The president of the association welcomed the visitors with a kind expression.
“Oh my! It’s chilly outside. Weren’t you cold on your way here dressed like that?”
“uh…….”
“This guy is in his 20s, so I guess he’s still hot and bothered by everything. Hehehe.”
A completely different attitude from last time when I blushed because of the Enchanter’s work.
Chairman Ko was comfortable enough with Kim Ki-ryeo to make silly jokes, and amidst the laughter, the main point was slowly brought to the forefront.
“Anyway, the reason I called Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo like this is for no other reason.”
What followed were a few calm words from the association president.
“Did you see the news today? Well… People are really going crazy right now, aren’t they? Come to think of it, our Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo has been doing a lot of great things that no one knows about.”
He raised his eyebrows as if to slightly scold her, though his voice was gentle.
“[Baron of the Flower Garden] and [Inevitable Evil], they’re all good for now. Honestly, if a hunter is hunting, who would stop him?”
“… .”
“But, no matter what, you shouldn’t hide your rank like that, you idiot.”
Knock knock.
The president of the association lightly tapped the table with a smiling face.
“I don’t know what the circumstances were, but as of today, I’m registering my awakening as normal.”
Normal registration?
The young man sitting across from him tilted his head for a moment at those words, but the association president paid no attention and continued the conversation.
“If you register your awakening properly this time, I will take special care of things up until now.”
“yes?”
“I won’t hold you responsible for what happened in the past.”
The association made a proposal to Gi-ryeo.
“If it’s revealed that the new S-class is a forger, it’ll only hurt our reputations. Wouldn’t it be better to let this go quietly?”
“… .”
“Actually, your rank was hidden on my instructions… Well, if you explain it that way, the public will quickly understand.”
What he ultimately said must mean something like this.
“So, from now on, Mr. Kiri, just stay like you are now, okay? When the dungeon break happens, you can help out like you did yesterday. Okay?”
Even now, it would be better to properly reveal that you are an S-class.
Also, from now on, you will respond to the association’s summons like other high-level hunters.
Chairman Koh made a basic demand based on the law.
That’s why I couldn’t have expected to get such an answer.
“I’m sorry, but what are you talking about… … .”
The blonde hunter immediately denied the charges as soon as the association president finished speaking.
“I’m not an S-class.”
Kim Ki-ryeo explained politely.
The inevitable malicious intent was simply a trick to exploit the weak points of the monsters.
The case of Baron Hwawon was also a case of luck.
He quickly revealed that what he had done was nothing particularly special.
“The rumors circulating on the Internet are all exaggerated. Things like you fought with Jeong Ha-seong and such are all baseless nonsense.”
That’s a very honest explanation.
But do you know what the association’s reaction was to this?
“Oh, right!”
The association president shouted in disbelief.
“Even with all this evidence, you still say you’re an F-class?”
okay.
The logic is correct. The logic is.

Since what Kiria said was based entirely on facts, there was little room for criticism.
However, despite this, the president of the association could not believe Kiryeo’s claim.
Because the man had other criminal records that were not revealed to the world.
“Then what about sneaking through the A-class gate before? Explain that too.”
“yes?”
“Why, you attacked the gate where the golem appeared with the hunter named Ahn Yoon-seung.”
He flinched. He showed a moment of bewilderment when an incident he had completely forgotten about was brought up.
“… … I guess it was concluded that the porter’s position sign was accidentally omitted?”
How can you say that’s an innocent F-class reaction?
With this, the association president became confident.
The man in front of him is a high-level Awakened, and the explanation he just gave was just a meticulous disguise to hide his rank.
‘You’ve put it all together so well!’
bang.
The president of the association immediately slammed his fist on the table. His expression looked very unpleasant.
“Look, the association is giving you a chance now. But why do you keep telling lies?”
“yes?”
“If you keep doing this, we’ll have to come out strong. We can’t cover up every single one of your level manipulations.”
But the more they showed this attitude, the more aggrieved one Hunter became.
This place was an F-class with absolutely no power… …!
“No, do you have any evidence that I did that?”
“What?”
“That’s right. Everything that’s written on the Internet is just vague speculation. In the end, the only thing that proves awakening is the association’s tester.”
Are you concluding that a person is a criminal based solely on the surrounding circumstances when you can’t find any evidence?
It’s unfair.
Especially on a planet like this one with a well-established legal system.
“Chairman, even if I were to take the re-examination right now, I would still get an F. Seriously.”
So, I said with some confidence that I wanted to try.
I absolutely cannot comply with the summons. Because, no matter what test I take, it will be proven that I am an F-class.
“So, you guys, don’t worry about a loser like me and just do your own thing… … .”
I tried to persuade the association staff while sweating profusely and feeling embarrassed.
but.
Originally, it was difficult for a person’s heart to be completely conveyed to others.
“her!”
The president of the association began to misinterpret what the awakened person in front of him had said.
How can someone with eyes as torn as a snake cub and talking like that while glaring at the three hundred eyes be considered pretty?
‘Evidence? Evidence? Are you telling me to keep quiet since you can’t prove the disguise with your technology anyway?’
Chairman Ko thought that the awakened man was shamelessly mocking him.
So I almost raised my voice for a moment, but the noise that followed broke the flow.
-Tirolong♩
It’s too big of a notification to ignore.
“wait a minute,”
Sigh.
He quickly checked his phone and then got up from his seat.
It seems like the text I just received is quite important.
“Uh… Are you done with what you wanted to say? I’m sorry, but something urgent came up, so I think I have to go now.”
Kim Ki-ryeo suddenly disappears.
The association president gasped when he saw this.
“I, I! That selfish guy. Anyway, I’ve never liked him before!”
Up to this point, it could be passed off as just some obvious gossip, but the problem is what follows.
“As expected, those kind of people think that it’s their right if someone is kind to them first… …!”
The association president took out his cell phone and made a call to someone.
[Reporter Yang☎]
.
.
.
The top floor of the Matap Guild.
A young woman sitting on the sofa kept sighing as she looked at her watch.
There was a visitor who was eagerly waiting.
-Squeak.
“ah!”
“excuse me.”
The one who finally appeared was an Awakened person with bright yellow hair.
Esther looked at the person coming through the door and smiled brightly.
“Kim Ki-ryeo, the Hunter!”
Yes. In fact, the text message that Kim Ki-ryeo received earlier was a call from Esther.
An S-class sorcerer is calling for you, but an F-class one has to run so fast that your feet can’t be seen.
“Esther Hunter, are you feeling better?”
“As you can see, it’s fine.”
So from now on, the question is why Esther called.
chin.
He placed his equipment on the table, assuming that the opponent he was trying to defeat would naturally have called him because of the cursed sword.
But the response back was lukewarm.
Esther started speaking right away while holding a unique item.
“By the way, I saw the article! It said you were the one who finished off that S-class monster. Is that true?”
She was dumbfounded.
Of course, the inevitable evil that Jeong Ha-seong was expected to defeat was defeated by some F-class.
Even that F-class was actually a disguised class that had been hiding its identity well until now?
‘What if he’s angry?’
In a way, this is because he couldn’t catch the boss at once.
Esther felt vaguely sorry for the hunter in front of her.
Of course, it’s not at all strange that the opponent ran away in front of the snake.
The strong people who are close to S-class have been unable to cooperate with each other due to their vast power. So he must have had no choice but to keep his distance.
‘It’s not over just because the curse doesn’t work. Rather, there’s no certainty that this side was immune to that man’s abilities… ‘
Perhaps after Kim Ki-ryeo withdrew like that, he quietly reduced the number of enemies while avoiding the eyes of others?
‘That’s for sure. This incident had surprisingly few casualties considering its scale!’
Esther couldn’t help but make some mistakes since she didn’t know Kang Chang-ho’s actions in detail.
Because of that, this incident was perceived in a distorted way.
The hunter in front of him had done his job underwater, but he thought his identity was exposed because he was covering up the mistake of the magic tower.
“First, let me get to the point.”
So Esther suggested with a serious face.
“Let’s quickly settle this rumor.”
“yes?”
“If the rumor about him being S-class continues to spread like this, then Kiryeo will be in trouble. Right?”
“Yes.”
“So, if it’s okay with you, Mr. Kiryo, I’m thinking of holding a press conference.”
If you listen carefully to the subsequent training method, you will see that Esther has several reporters she is close with, and she is able to gather them together and incite public opinion.
‘Press conference?’
This was something that Kiriyeo welcomed with open arms.
This side also desperately needed an opportunity for such explanation.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Kiryo. I will definitely solve this problem.”
“But why are you like that… … .”
“It’s because of the monster that the Magic Tower missed that things got this big! I want to take responsibility.”
Esther continued by explaining that the sooner the press conference date is set, the better, as it will be easier to set the mood.
To this Giryun replied.
He already has plenty of material to defend himself.
“Then can you prepare it right now?”
“Right now? Of course… …!”
Esther entered the conversation with a bright expression, but soon shut her mouth tightly.
“Ms. Esther?”
Why did the sorcerer suddenly become silent?
The answer is right here. In fact, Kim Ki-ryeo was dressed like this all day.
“… It’s not hard to prepare the seat, so I’ll give you some time to stop by the house before that.”
“Why?”
“Phil, do you need it? Uh, um. But that’s it.”
A rooster character with an odd design.
A light green background that is aesthetically pleasing.
There’s even a rustic printing in cursive script.
The man-to-man shirt Kim Ki-ryeo is wearing was a promotional gift from a certain chicken brand.
And as you can see, the quality is great.
“Well, of course, it’s not bad to approach the public with a friendly image. But I think that concept is a bit too much… … .”
A healthy smile from a rooster giving a thumbs up.
Who on earth came up with the idea to create such an unpleasant picture?
“Wouldn’t it be better to wear different clothes for press conferences?”
Esther spoke up courageously, knowing that things couldn’t go on like this.
But Kim Ki-ryeo also had unavoidable circumstances.
“I don’t have any other clothes… … .”
It’s not like he likes it that’s why he wears things like this.
“yes?”
Encounter with the beginner killer.
hijacking.
Hunter Hunter.
terrorism.
Kim Ki-ryeo has gone through many hardships, and each time he has gone through them, he has fewer and fewer clothes to wear.
Scratched, torn, pierced.
Because injuries usually come with damage to clothing.
“I guess it’s because of my job. I don’t have any clothes left.”
The only remaining intact piece of clothing was torn off at the sleeve when he fell on the asphalt while running away from an inevitable villain.
Again, Kim Ki-ryeo now has only one suit left: the chicken restaurant man-to-man suit.
“But it’s okay. I still have five new sets of these clothes at home.”
As he was an alien spirit, he had no understanding of Earth’s fashion trends.
The only thing that is barely maintained is that the skin must be covered with fibers… … .
