The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 154

Episode 154. Nothing is impossible (3)

“This is all for your training.”

“All, training?”

Thud thud.

I walked up to where the number one ranked player was and faced him.

And he raised his index finger and said:

“Do you know what the common problem that Korean S-class people have?”

“yes?”

“You’re saying there’s no cooperation.”

“…!”

“Because they’re S-class, their natural awakening value is high, so their skills hurt their teammates. Well, that’s basically why they couldn’t form a proper team.”

Among the S-class, there is one person whose personality is the problem rather than his ability, but that’s okay.

“So let’s practice. Right now, I have adjusted my body barrier to be weak, like an F-class hunter.”

“Sigh,” I said, showing the back of my hand where the burn was.

“From now on, whenever we meet, we’ll train together so that I don’t get caught up in the skill. Got it?”

It’s a bonus that he added this in a confident tone.

“Of course I’m not a real F-class. Don’t worry, I won’t be hurt by this much.”

To increase the precision of the skill, I will act as a biological target myself.

If this is the reason, then the low defense power can be explained.

“Now, wait a minute! No matter what, how could a human being do such a dangerous thing… …!”

“Oh, I think you’re misunderstanding something right now.”

I interrupted what the other person was saying and confirmed it.

“For your information, this is not optional, it is required. Sorry, but I have no intention of working with a Hunter who can’t even do this.”

“…!”

“If you really want to be a team with me, you need to take responsibility for these shortcomings and fix them. Don’t avoid them.”

Yeah, this is the excuse I prepared.

“Besides, I haven’t given you even a shred of recognition yet, so it’s a bit much to risk your life for someone like this… .”

“Hunter.”

“Do you understand what I’m saying? I was saying that it’s still a bit awkward to reveal your awakening level.”

I will never reveal my true abilities to you until you reach a level that you can respect!

It may be a rather arrogant statement, but shouldn’t the young CEO understand it?

“So, just bear with it for a bit. If we start working together later anyway, you’ll naturally find out information about me, right?”

He was a noble hunter who had maintained the guild as a one-man system simply because there was no one of noteworthy talent.

***

If you think about it, Jeong Ha-seong’s life was really pitiful.

What is your background, growing up with your single mother after losing your father at a young age?

Well, it was hard to say that it was particularly difficult because the two of them were on good terms.

After the gate appeared.

A student who dreamed of becoming a veterinarian ended up becoming a hunter who slaughters all kinds of animals.

And it was never a good thing that his only family member was in a coma due to the modern incurable disease of magic addiction.

-If Mr. Ha Sung gets caught up in a scandal, honestly, no one in our country will be able to sleep soundly.

What about the harsh control we were under until recently?

The Hunter Association of Korea often uses sophistry to use S-class power for their own benefit.

Their main repertoire was to shift blame along the lines of, “If you, an S-class, don’t move, countless neighbors will die.”

In reality, it was the monsters in the dungeon that were killing people. They were inciting the Awakened as if their laziness had brought about the disaster.

But just when I thought I had barely escaped this gaslight effect, now even aliens are eyeing the S-class bankbook.

“Jeong Ha-seong, you still don’t understand my intentions.”

How could this not be an unfortunate life?

If Jeong Ha-seong had at least been more suspicious, his situation would have been better than it is now.

He is not that kind of person.

Rather, if we are to be exact, he was the person who was most definitely more swayed by Kim Ki-ryeo’s boastfulness.

A series of threats.

And the shocking behavior shown in the 13th month labyrinth.

Because he had been sowing seeds without rest, the image of Kim Ki-ryeo had already solidified in Ha-seong’s brain.

-Wake up, Ha-seong! You’re a piece of shit!

-Isn’t it a bit presumptuous to worry that you’ll be treated like a monster with that skill?

-Don’t mess around with your worthless power.

These are the comments that Jeong Ha-seong has been hearing from his opponents.

If you think about it, there was nothing that wasn’t abusive language, but surprisingly, Ha-seong felt good toward the other person because of those sentences.

Compared to a traitor who is intimidated by the status of the number one ranking and only talks big, it is more helpful in life to say bitter things like that.

‘If I think about it, it was thanks to that person’s straightforward advice that I was able to come to my senses and receive treatment.’

According to someone’s intention.

Speaking carelessly to an S-class hunter was a very suitable tactic for packaging the weak.

He’s not an ordinary person, so he treats the number one ranked person like that!

People who don’t know often misunderstand the shameless attitude of F-Class.

This tendency was not much different even for Jeong Ha-seong himself.

Kim Ki-ryeo is a skilled person of such a high level that even S-class people of the same level would be willing to treat him coldly.

If you don’t assume this, the other person’s behavior so far is not well explained.

“So let’s practice. Right now, I have adjusted my body barrier to be weak, like an F-class hunter.”

“… .”

“From now on, whenever we meet, we’ll train together to make sure I don’t get caught up in the skill. Got it?”

A victim who firmly believes that the fourth S-class is strong.

So, Jeong Ha-seong did not feel any discomfort in the conversation that was flowing at that moment.

There was no question whatsoever about Kiryeo’s statement that she would weaken the magic barrier herself and use it for training.

“Still, still, if you train like this… … .”

But even in such a humble person, there was at least one thing that he could not trust.

“Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo, you’re getting hurt… … . You’ll get burned every time.”

The hero didn’t believe in himself.

As the blond hunter repeatedly said, this was an Awakened individual with significantly reduced ability control.

‘This is crazy.’

But would you have wanted to live like this?

From the moment of awakening, Jeong Ha-seong put in a lot of effort to master his innate magic.

If you count the hours spent practicing, no one will ever say that it is insufficient.

But, even so, this volcanic heat was never controlled.

‘Besides, that hunter doesn’t seem to have the same attributes as me.’

In the midst of all this, is it really an achievable goal to prevent one’s flames from burning the weak, who are almost like ordinary people?

As time passed, his distrust of himself grew. So Ha-seong asked a question.

“Can I really see such effects just by receiving the Hunter’s secret?”

Then the blond man quietly turns around to where he is standing.

***

If it doesn’t work, you have to make it work.

I thought about it after hearing Ha-seong’s question.

The plan to fix the problem of S-class players having high awakening levels and having their skills affect their teammates, and thus having difficulty forming a team, was absolutely not a lie.

‘That’s better for me too.’

Do you think this guy started doing business just for the sake of making money?

In fact, S-class training was a semi-mandatory process that every alien had to go through at some point.

No matter how much they fly and crawl, the sorcerers here are just lumps of blood that have just had their umbilical cord cut off before the eyes of the great wizard.

But even if he were to recover from his lung disease and regain his strength, he had no intention of doing any work for the people of Earth.

“hmm.”

This is a kind of investment.

I think that if we raise hunters with the same disposition as Jeong Ha-seong, we will be able to ensure a safer life in Korea in the distant future.

‘If I think about it, I don’t really need to step in and solve the problem of the core. I think it’ll be a pain in the ass if I try to stir it up by myself… ‘

He leaves the gate conquest to other S-classes and lives a leisurely, lazy life in the countryside.

It’s an ideal plan.

So, I decided once again that I had to refine the person in front of me to a usable level.

And to do that, we need to solve that part first.

“Ha Sung-ah, do you know why S-class skills cause secondary damage?”

Instead of answering the question of the disciple who was trying to learn, he brought up this topic first. He continued to impart knowledge.

“That’s because the price for awakening inhuman magical powers all at once is that your clarity is much lower than others.”

“definition?”

“For example, if you were to create a firework this big right now.”

He spread out his index finger.

“The actual horsepower released is of this size.”

Then he brought his right hand behind his extended index finger.

Fingers and palms. The areas of the two show a clear difference.

“You’re unconsciously wasting your unnecessary magical power and suffering from side effects.”

“waste…….”

“You could also call it spreading. That’s more intuitive.”

As he said that, he fiddled with the collar of his shirt. There was a low-grade magic tool worth 50 million won hanging there.

“Personally, I think that if we can just catch this spreading phenomenon, it will be easy to form a team with only S-class players.”

The black-haired Awakener showed interest in this sentence.

“Of course, no matter how much you increase the clarity, if you make a mistake during the skill’s range designation stage, your teammates will be put into fire.”

“… Ugh.”

“Don’t worry, that can be prevented to some extent if you learn the know-how I’m teaching you.”

“Really?”

“If you save the magic power that spreads out and disappears, you will have surplus energy.”

Kim Ki-ryeo’s explanation was smooth and unobstructed. That’s only natural.

This is a past wizard with many achievements.

Moreover, he is a soul that has accumulated knowledge of magic to the point where he is worthy of being called a monster.

“The wasted magical power can be turned to defense. Then, S-class units can free themselves from secondary damage from each other without harming their teammates.”

Well then, shall we start taking our first real steps?

【Lesson 1. Magical Conscious Positioning】

We are implementing a curriculum that has been carefully designed to honor the national heroes.

And as time passed, Ha-seong’s feelings changed quickly.

Admiration and anticipation.

Fortunately, the alien’s teachings also had a positive effect on Ha-seong.

‘Hmm. By the way, looking at it, it seems like even an S-class would find 3 billion won in cash a month a bit burdensome. Then, I guess raising the tuition fee to around 5 billion won would be the Maginot Line.’

At this time.

The F-class hunter, who had been tapping away at the calculator in his head, quietly swallowed a dark laugh.

‘Let’s just suck it up for about 6 months and then break our team promise with all sorts of excuses.’

As we can see, Kim Ki-ryeo had no intention of keeping even a little of the collaboration proposal he had made.

-Just bear with it for a bit. If we start working together later anyway, you’ll naturally find out information about me, right?

In fact, all of this was a lie that I didn’t even mean.

Working with top hunters?

Common sense tells you that something like an F-class would never be possible.

‘It’s dangerous to keep pretending to be S-class in front of the real person.’

The basic premise of this contract is that when apprentice Jeong Ha-seong acquires skills that are acknowledged by Kim Ki-ryeo, they will begin team activities together.

But this means that if you just secretly postpone that recognition, you will never have any obligation to work with the other person again.

Besides, honestly, it wasn’t like Jeong Ha-seong would suffer any fatal losses just by signing this kind of contract.

Although the beginning was a scam, the end of this story was a heartwarming ending: ‘I can finally handle my magic safely.’

Of course.

‘Who said I didn’t take classes? I’ll definitely work as much as I earn. But people still have a conscience.’

When Ha Sung’s ability control reaches a level where he can collaborate with other S-class players, he connects the opponent with a talented person like Esther and then exits appropriately.

It’s a perfect roadmap.

He was lost in his emotions, rationalizing his own deceptive behavior.

‘Besides, I can later extort money from Esther under the pretext of teaming them up… … Now I don’t have to worry about money anymore!’

ha ha ha!

But at this time he still didn’t know.

What kind of repercussions will come from the meddling he started without thinking?

Blindness and anxiety.

His new disciple appeared to be quite upright on the outside, but in reality he was a genetically prone to ridiculously negative thinking.
