The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 11

Episode 11. S-Class Hunter (2)

“···Hyung, do you know Hunter Kang Chang-ho?”

Well, I don’t know.

Maybe he knows Kim Ki-ryeo, but honestly, I think it’s unlikely. For now, I’ll keep quiet.

Of course, even in the midst of all this, the S-class hunter’s gaze was fixed on me. Who knew I couldn’t look at them?

I looked at the hunter coming towards me with a sense of needless hostility, and as the distance got closer, I began to notice features that I had not noticed before.

‘Wow, are we the same species?’

Height appears to be 190cm.

Fierce eyes that are wide enough to expose the red brows. Even the bridge of the nose is crooked.

It was easy to tell that he was mixed race because of his rather exotic appearance, but there was something else more important.

Those pupils are elongated vertically.

“Your eyes are unique.”

“That must be the dragon’s eye. It’s a truly rare item.”

As I was spending time whispering with Yoon Seung, an S-class hunter suddenly came right up to me.

I looked up at Kang Chang-ho, who had stopped in front of me. Then, the other person spoke his first words.

“hi.”

For such a strong introduction, the beginning is quite ordinary.

“What’s your name?”

“yes?”

“name.”

This hunter asked me my name right away, as if it was my first time meeting him.

“This is Kim Ki-ryeo.”

It’s not a difficult question, so I’ll answer.

“What is your hunter rank?”

As if the name alone was not enough, he immediately asked the next question, and Ahn Yoon-seung, who could not stand to hear this, intervened between us.

“Oh, hello! Hunter Kang Chang-ho, this is the porter who helps me, but is there a problem······.”

But did Kang Chang-ho look at Ahn Yoon-seung like that for even two seconds?

“I didn’t tell you.”

The answer that came back was cold.

He ignored me as an A-class Awakened and asked me again. What level of Hunter am I? Well, it’s not like talking about it will make it any easier.

“It’s class F.”

“okay?”

At first, I answered willingly. But the response I got was amazing.

“Really?”

Kang Chang-ho raises one eyebrow and laughs.

Next to me, Ahn Yoon-seung was sweating coldly instead of me.

But I felt like this situation was just natural. After all, this S-class obviously seemed to have excellent magical powers.

‘You must have discovered the magical power inherent in Kim Ki-ryeo’s body.’

The lungs are, after all, an output organ.

Injury to the respiratory system does not reduce the total amount of mana stored in the body.

A keen sorcerer could guess the opponent’s potency just from the faint signals flowing out of their injured lungs.

“If you don’t believe me, should I show you my hunter ID?”

I just thought, let’s not bring up the alien Tina, so I spoke as normally as possible.

Then Kang Chang-ho raised the corners of his mouth.

“An F-class Awakened One who looks straight into the eyes of an S-class and answers.”

Oh right, that’s right.

Yoon Seung-yi said that. He said he gets goosebumps when he’s around S-class. Then, F-class…

Huh? Are you normally not even able to raise your head?

“Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo, if it’s okay······.”

I was lost in thought for a moment, and Kang Chang-ho seemed to be trying to suggest something to me.

But that was the moment.

“Hey, Kiryeo hyung! It’s time now!”

“uh?”

“We were just here to take a quick look. Should we go now? If we don’t leave now, we’ll be late for our appointment······.”

Ahn Yoon-seung cut off Kang Chang-ho’s words.

Even if you got in the way, what do you mean you were late for an appointment?

‘Today’s schedule was to come see this gate, right?’

It was a bit odd for a moment, but soon the intention became apparent.

I don’t know why, but it seems like Ahn Yoon-seung wants to separate me from Kang Chang-ho.

“Brother! Let’s go.”

Judging from your expression, you seem to be in quite a hurry.

To be honest, I didn’t want to leave behind the precious spectacle of an S-class hunter, but I ended up giving in.

“Yeah. Thanks for telling me. I forgot how busy you are.”

Then, Ahn Yoon-seung immediately dragged me and ran away from that place.

Kang Chang-ho just quietly watched us and didn’t seem to follow us.

When I ran a long way from the gate.

“Yoon Seung-ah, why did you do that just now?”

The first words he said were these.

Then Ahn Yoon-seung pressed his temple hard.

“Brother, you really don’t know who Hunter Kang Chang-ho is. Have you been abroad recently?”

“I came from far away······.”

Since I didn’t know English, I felt intimidated for a while, but I soon learned the whole story.

“I didn’t want to say it myself because it felt like gossip, but that hunter… The rumors aren’t very good.”

“rumor?”

“He has a criminal record for assault.”

“···!”

“And no one wants to go through the gate with an S-class criminal. Usually.”

So, Ahn Yoon-seung said that the moment Kang Chang-ho showed up, they were going to give up on the gate. The explanation continued.

“Besides, even if you look at it favorably and say that the previous incident is a thing of the past, my recent image is also······.”

“What is it?”

“Do you know Jin Hunter Choi?”

“I don’t know.”

“He’s a 3rd-ranked A-class hunter. He’s my cousin, so I meet him sometimes.”

Hmm.

Ahn Yoon-seung frowned and groaned in response.

“That older sister told me that she once entered the same gate as Kang Chang-ho and was attacked.”

It’s not surprising that violence broke out in the lawless gate, but the problem is that the perpetrator was an S-class.

“I heard that they don’t even look at weak hunters and only pick fights with strong Awakened ones.”

“Why?”

“Yes. Why is that?”

Finally, he lets out a deep sigh.

“Anyway, it’s not just a rumor, it’s something a relative told me. If you get involved, I’m worried something might happen······.”

After hearing the explanation, I understood his attitude so far.

So, you were hiding me because you were afraid that crazy S-class would harm me?

“I kind of understand it.”

Like this peculiar mammal.

I patted Yunseung on the shoulder.

“Then let’s go back now for today.”

If such a dangerous hunter came to the new gate, there would be no reason to risk one’s life and enter with him.

“You can look at the strange plant later. If you really need it, you can buy it with money.”

“yes.”

This was the moment when I was about to end today’s schedule.

A thought suddenly crossed my mind and I called out to Yoonseung, who was about to go home.

“Just a moment, Seungah Yoon.”

“yes?”

“You said earlier that Kang Chang-ho’s eyes were an item called the Dragon’s Eye or something. If it’s an item, does that mean it’s something that can be traded like the shield you’re using?”

Yunseung nodded.

“When you first get it, it’s shaped like a small bead. When you use it, you probably swallow it or something.”

So, does this mean that we can get fresh organs through trading?

‘That’s right! The lungs are delicate organs, so they need to be alive.’

I am a genius wizard, not a mad scientist.

I would never do something as immoral as removing lungs from a living person, but it would be different if there were organs for sale.

“Yoon Seung-ah, do you have any dragon’s lungs?”

Does he know how important this issue is to me?

“there is.”

“Where can I go to buy it? Is it for sale?”

“Well, I’ll look into that now. Just a moment.”

Knock knock knock.

Ahn Yoon-seung took out his cell phone and searched for something diligently. Then he raised his head.

“There is only a transaction record, but it doesn’t seem like there is anything on the market right now.”

‘shit.’

“But the lungs are an unpopular part, so maybe they’ll come out someday?”

“Why aren’t you popular?”

“Unlike the eyes or the heart, it doesn’t increase magical power. The liver can at least make medicine, but the lungs don’t really have much of an effect······.”

It’s a trash item that hunters underestimate.

“Can you also check the market price? I heard there is a transaction record.”

That’s good. Then I can buy the lungs cheaply.

I hid my pounding heart and waited for Yunseung’s answer.

“2.6 billion.”

“Oh, right. 26… What did you say?”

But if I had known this would be the answer I would get.

“I think the market price is 2.6 billion. Wow, that’s cheap! You can’t buy other parts even if you pay for them!”

I shouldn’t have listened to it in the first place.

***

A day after that happened.

I turned on my phone to verify the story I heard yesterday.

[S-Class Hunter’s Shocking Criminal Record… “1 Year in Prison for Assaulting a Driver”]

[Kang Chang-ho, controversy over selling Nari Steel shares at a low price]

But when I looked it up, I found that the actions of this man named Kang Chang-ho were more splendid than I had imagined.

Even before becoming a hunter, Kang Chang-ho was the only son of a company and lived a life with a silver spoon in his mouth.

One day, such a person was sent to prison on charges of special assault.

It’s not strange since it’s natural to be arrested if you commit a crime, but Korea’s culture is a bit unique······.

The rich hire good lawyers to cover up these kinds of things, so the problem was that he was sentenced to prison.

Anyway, the Internet was full of testimonies that Kang Chang-ho had been beating up people on a regular basis.

But this is just a joke compared to the scandal that followed.

“Hmm.”

My parents died in a dungeon break a few years ago······.

And it is said that Kang Chang-ho sold all the shares he had inherited right after the accident, effectively selling off his family’s company.

People whispered about this behavior, saying that it was probably an act of immorality over money.

This was because the timing of Kang Chang-ho’s awakening was unclear.

“It’s fun.”

But the problem is that my goal is to obtain accurate information.

From an alien’s perspective, there is nothing more toxic than opaque and provocative information like rumors.

“But a rumor is still a rumor.”

For now, I decided to forget about the rest of the information outside of the official article.

Then I turned off my phone and went outside.

“Ah, I’m hungry.”

Today, I decided to go to a restaurant that I had previously chosen.

You have to enjoy life. This is all just a matter of making a living.

“taxi!”

As soon as I got out onto the main road, I caught a taxi that caught my eye.

“Sir! Please go to ○○ restaurant.”

“Yes~”

And then I leaned back in the back seat and read the restaurant review again.

It’s hard to eat hot food, so here’s the sweet and sour pork recommended······.

-Squeak, thud!

“Ugh!”

But then a moment.

The car suddenly shakes violently, accompanied by the driver’s single scream.

A taxi that was going smoothly hit something and spun around halfway, and I couldn’t withstand the acceleration and ended up hitting my face on the headrest of the passenger seat.

“Eww!”

A tingling pain shoots up from my nose, and my adrenaline starts pumping.

What the hell is going on?

“What the heck! Oh my, are you hurt?”

“Ah, maybe······.”

“Please get off first.”

While I was dumbfounded, the taxi driver got out of the driver’s seat, grumbling.

I also followed him late, and when I got outside, I saw a red sports car crashing into us.

“Hey, Inma! You drank a lot in broad daylight? You should be driving properly!”

A moment later, a man leisurely got out of the open car driver’s seat.

Dark blue hair. And black sunglasses······.

“Sorry about this. It’s been a while since I’ve driven so I’m getting confused about the accelerator and the brake.”

I don’t know about taxi drivers, but I already know that guy.

“Hello, F-class hunter Kim Ki-ryeo.”

Chin, Kang Chang-ho closed the driver’s door and came over.

He soon stopped in front of me, held out his cell phone, and said this.

“I’d like to reach an agreement, but could you please give me your contact information?”

Are you crazy?
