The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 136

Episode 136. If Hypocrisy is Good

I came back home.

I feel like I didn’t get to see much of America, but I’m still satisfied with having ridden an airplane.

For the first time in a while, I got to experience a culture that is unique to this planet.

But do you know what I realized from this trip abroad?

The best place is home.

I went out of the house and got hit with a wine glass fastball by an S-class who looked like a brown bear. How could I not get homesick?

“f*ck.”

So, I took this opportunity to briefly go into seclusion.

Of course, I’ve already decided what I’m going to do at home.

The vessel I’m in is full of shortcomings, so just adding small features makes time go by quickly.

[Changes in 1.3.43]

●Additional digestive mechanism

It’s been a while since I’ve seen such a renovation.

While I was locked up, I made some minor modifications to my reincarnation.

But wait, why does digestive ability come out here?

‘I feel relieved now.’

This is a more important feature than it looks.

Most poisons produced by living organisms are modified proteins.

The ability to instantly decompose foreign substances that have entered the body!

This leads to one immediate result.

“Biotoxicity resistance.”

Yes. As of today, I have acquired a more perfect ‘poison tolerance’.

If you are exposed to a poison, you have a technique implanted in your body to detoxify it into a safe structure before it can harm your body.

It’s not a common concept on Earth, but on my planet, where the risk of poison was relatively high, it was a necessary safety device.

Of course, this mechanism consumes a tremendous amount of calories with each operation, as it pushes the metabolic function to its limits… … .

Anyway, it’s better than nothing.

After finishing the remodeling, I took out my cell phone to cool my head.

[Search results: 0]

But today again, the news I was hoping for did not come.

“I thought something was strange. Not only dragon organs, but dragon nests themselves haven’t appeared recently.”

Up until now I’ve been thinking about buying lungs with money, but if things have gotten this complicated, I guess I’ll have to start thinking about other options.

‘Well, even if you’re lucky enough to get a dragon’s lung, there’s no guarantee that the person who finds it will sell it… … .’

I was silent for a moment.

But as I was thinking about it for a while, something random suddenly occurred to me.

‘ah.’

By the way, I need to reissue my hunter ID.

‘I forgot.’

The ID card I had been using before was marked as Class F.

So I decided to stop by the association to get a new hunter’s license with the corrected information.

‘There were clearly two ways to apply: online and… … by visiting the association in person.’

I don’t want to go out, but I have no choice.

Because registering as a member of a website was too difficult a task for an alien.

I started getting ready to go out.

The weather is warm, so today I didn’t wear a suit jacket and just wore a shirt and a vest.

.

.

-Chaeng chaeng chaeng.

-Dung… . Dududung… … .

That’s strange.

The city is a noisy place, but it wasn’t this noisy outside last week.

“The sound of an instrument… … ?”

Tilt.

I came outside and listened to the sound coming from afar.

It was a sound that Alphauri had never heard before, but Kim Ki-ryeo’s brain still derived a conclusion when he heard the sound.

Gongs and drums.

It looks like some Earthlings are having a festival nearby.

‘oh.’

I was curious about what kind of event it was that was making such a fuss, so I paid attention to the sound.

————

Association Road

Are you an accomplice?

Condemn the hunter industry!

Regulate the Awakened!

————

But then, when I arrived at the Hunter Association building, I saw people holding pickets like this at the main entrance.

-Dung, dung dung. Dung dung.

I looked at the drumsticks in their hands and thought.

‘this.’

This wasn’t a festival, it was a protest…

***

These days, we live in an era where heroes with superpowers that we only saw in movies exist in real life.

After Dungeon Shock, people with special abilities called Hunters were born all over the world.

But in reality, those with abilities were not always on the citizens’ side.

[Shocking misconduct of a 20-year-old hunter… Verbal and physical abuse of an elderly person]

[Serious level of moral hazard]

[Mr. Kim, in his 50s, paralyzed after being caught up in a dungeon break recovery scene… (See more)]

In this way, the sword handle that was randomly grabbed regardless of good or evil caused many problems.

These days, there is truly constant friction due to the Awakened.

And here.

“The state should strengthen hunter regulations! Strengthen them!”

The man holding a placard and shouting in front of the association building was assaulted by a hunter some time ago.

That’s because they didn’t lower the price of alcohol.

But do you know what the outcome of this incident was?

This person suffered such severe assault that his facial bones were sunken and one of his eyes was nearly blinded.

The woman who did this to him was still working normally.

Because the association didn’t have enough manpower to catch monsters, they ended up not stripping the hunter of his qualifications.

“Even a bus driver gets fired if he hits someone, and even a doctor gets his license suspended if he makes a mistake. So in this country, are hunters like gods? Why do we keep allowing them to earn a living?”

“Right, right!”

“Strengthen the punishment!”

Those gathered at the association’s main gate took to the streets with loudspeakers to protest the absurdity.

But the problem is… … .

Because they tend to be a bit rougher than regular protesters.

“Hunter pups should wear neck ties so they can be easily identified!”

“Even the Awakened can be controlled by using [Knight’s Oath] or something. Shouldn’t we at least make it mandatory for the dangerous higher-ups to listen to the government?”

Let me explain again.

They are a ‘hunter hate group’.

To be more precise, the Awakened were a radical group that claimed that they were not people like themselves, but like wild beasts in a zoo and that society should keep a close watch on them.

“Hunters are shameless because they touch money at a young age!”

Who would like to have someone hurling insults at them?

Hunters passing by frowned and avoided the area.

But this time.

The protesters began to raise their voices even louder because of the new big shot.

“uh?”

“Chairman, over there, over there!”

A man with dyed hair is walking towards me from a distance.

The man was looking this way, as if following the sounds of the protesters, and those sharp eyes were an impression that was hard to forget once seen.

‘Kim Ki-ryeo!’

An Awakener at the top of the Hunter industry.

They shouted questions at the sight of Kiria on the street.

“The gate isn’t open, what are you doing here?”

“A dungeon exploded nearby yesterday. Are you doing your job properly?”

“You, you punk. You used to beat up your friends when you were in school? Aren’t you ashamed of it?”

But the other person did not respond and quickly passed by them.

‘Eek… Earthlings are scary…’

From Gi-ryeo’s perspective, he was scared and ran away because a group of people were getting angry.

That F-class could easily be defeated by an ordinary person, so it came out passively.

However, this action, which was intended to avoid a fight, ended up provoking the protesters.

“I, I have no hair… …!”

“Oh my. You’re not even answering.”

“Yeah. Those who haven’t even awakened like us aren’t worth dealing with, right?”

Trembling.

As Kim Ki-ryeo disappeared, the protesters lowered their voices and muttered incoherent words.

If a hunter has such an arrogant personality, he could definitely use ‘that operation’.

So let’s decide to target that hunter.

***

hmm…….

I thought I’d live in seclusion in a house with a barrier in place for a while, but life doesn’t always go as planned.

This room is small, so if you let your guard down even for a moment, it’ll be a mess.

“Eww!”

One Thursday.

I decided to clean up my trash after stepping on a plastic bottle cap that was lying on the floor.

I went out to throw away plastic.

‘bothered.’

And after putting down the trash, I crossed the alley and headed home… … .

What the heck. Today, there was a person I had never seen before standing on the shortcut I often use.

‘I’ve never seen anyone here before.’

But I still thought so after seeing it.

This shortcut is a bit narrow, but not so narrow that two people can’t pass through at the same time.

‘What should I eat when I get home?’

I turned my body slightly to the left and exited the alley.

No, to be exact, I was trying to get out.

“Kwaaaaah!”

But before I could even get out of the alley, a scream suddenly erupted from the side.

“No, what… … .”

“Oh my, my arm! My arm!”

I looked down at the other person with a dumbfounded face.

I was trying to get out of the way because he wouldn’t move in the middle, but the man I met in the alley fell down as soon as our collars brushed against each other and he started rolling around on the floor.

It’s like I got hit by a car.

“what?”

And that wasn’t the only embarrassing thing.

“What the hell is this!”

“Teacher, are you okay?”

“Oh my, kids! Over there, that guy is… … .”

A few seconds later, two people suddenly came running hurriedly from across the alley.

When they arrived, the fallen man spoke sobbing.

No matter how big you are, how can you push someone just because it makes it difficult to pass on the street?

And how hard did you have to push for it to hurt like this, like your arm was broken?

“What did you say?”

“Oh! Isn’t this guy Hunter? I think I’ve seen him on TV.”

“That’s right. The Awakened One hit someone!”

Wow.

Now it’s hard to pretend not to know. I finally understand what happened to me.

‘Suicide blackmail!’

And as soon as I thought of that word, the fallen man spat out a textbook-like threat.

“Hey, Aya. No, you’re an S-class, but you still can’t tell the extent of your power?”

“her.”

“What am I going to do? I make a living by driving, so if my arm gets hurt I won’t be able to work!”

So, are you asking me to compensate you for not being able to work right now?

“Are you kidding me?”

I asked back in disbelief, but the group in front of me just acted shamelessly.

“What are you doing hitting people? Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?”

“We saw you hit someone. We’re going to report this!”

“… … Where is the evidence that I pushed you?”

But I didn’t know that such remarks would come back to me.

“Evidence? Hunter, please take a look around.”

“… … ?”

“There are no parked cars or CCTV here.”

“… … .”

“But the gentleman here definitely hurt his arm, and there are two witnesses on our side right now?”

They had their own level of expertise. At least they were able to stretch out their legs while looking for a place to lie down.

“Oh my god.”

The man who had fallen got up on his knees and started to harass her.

“Hey, do you feel wronged? Do you feel wronged?”

A man who comes close and glares at you as if he’s going to poke you in the eye.

“But what if you feel wronged? If you wake up and earn money comfortably, you have to accept this much.”

As I lowered my gaze, the other person’s expression of frustration clearly came into view.

“Anyway, I wonder where the S-class spent all that money to buy all these run-down places.”

“… … .”

“Ugh, anyway, your head is stupid~”

.

.

.

An S-class hunter is the representative of the Awakened.

Even if it was a Hunter who had only appeared a few months ago, in any case, if he had the name S-class, he would instantly become famous.

The Hunter hate group intended to incite S-class violence in order to shape public opinion.

‘Now that you mention there’s no CCTV, I guess things will start to blow up there too?’

You’re trying to get hit by an S-class on purpose.

It’s a crazy thing that could lead to death, but I calculated that it would be worth it if I could burn my body to change the world.

“Are you saying that you’re all awakened? But don’t you know that? If you mess with ordinary people like us, you won’t be treated as human beings in society, Inma.”

Snap!

The leader of the protest group suddenly grabbed Gi-ryeo by the collar and started a violent altercation.

But as time goes by, something seems strange.

“What the heck, you punk? Are you ignoring us right now? Are you ignoring people?!”

First of all, Kim Ki-ryeo’s expression did not change.

Up until this point, we could just let it go, but the problem is the actions that followed.

He never batted an eye even when he heard all sorts of personal attacks, even when the buttons on his expensive shirts snapped off…

“Please let this go.”

After a while, Kim Ki-ryeo said to the person who grabbed him by the collar.

Now that you’ve said everything you wanted to say, let go.

Suddenly, I felt a chill. If it was an S-class, I could easily escape by just pulling my body back.

‘Even if you don’t respond, why aren’t you backing down from here? …?’

Why isn’t he moving even a single step when he’s grabbed by the collar?

And why are you watching us so intently?
