The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 194

Episode 194. Eopso (2)

What does this laughter mean?

“Ahahaha! Ah, ha. Anyway, I was wondering why our Kiryeo had to go through all that trouble.”

“Eh, Esther Hunter?”

“Oh my god. I really had no idea it would be such an absurd story.”

Esther laughed so hard that tears welled up in her eyes, but it took 30 seconds before she continued talking.

however.

What came out of her mouth next was a shocking sound.

“Anyway, let me state the conclusion first: the probability that Kiryeo-ssi is not an S-class is 0%!”

“What did you say?”

“Have you already heard the rumor? Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo is a true powerhouse guaranteed by other top-level Awakeners!”

But how could you mistake that for a person like that!

Esther still occasionally burst into laughter at how ridiculous the remark just now seemed.

But as the story progresses, the association president’s face darkens.

Nervous. Anxious.

The expression of a middle-aged man gradually becoming more negative.

“What… What are you basing your claim on 0%? I, I heard this from a reliable source. In the US, no less.”

“America?”

Esther spoke in her characteristically high tone, then quickly changed her posture.

“Hmm, then I’ll tell you fairly. First of all, my source of information is Japan.”

I crossed my legs to sit a little more comfortably.

“I once went to a guild called Gate Star’s founding anniversary event, right? And I met a hunter there… … .”

By the way, the identity of the person who was at the party in the US and never spoke to Kiryeo is this person.

“That’s ‘Yamasaka Iori’.”

The foreigner who exchanged numbers with her was a Japanese S-class wind attribute hunter.

“But I happen to like animation quite a bit. Iori Hunter is a Korean idol.”

“yes?”

“Because we were so interested in each other’s cultures, we quickly became close friends even though we only exchanged a few emails.”

“Hey, what’s your point?”

“Was the introduction too long? The point is that since we’ve become close enough, Iori-san has recently been able to tell me stories about the dragon slaying… … .”

Esther tilts her head slightly and tells him the main point he had been wanting to hear.

“That’s what I’m trying to say. If you know what happened at Japan’s S-class gate, you can never say that person is fake.”

What happened at the S-class gate in Kagoshima?

The president is embarrassed by Esther’s remarks.

Because, he was rather strongly suspicious of Kiria due to the circumstances of the raid in Kagoshima.

Of course, the pressure from Spectrum was the biggest factor in making me convinced that Kiria was a fraud.

‘That guy Kim Ki-ryeo went to Japan as an assistant… …?!’

Now that I think about it, the actions of the man who volunteered to be my supporter were quite strange.

If we assume that the opponent is a fake S-class, then there is a high probability that this is a smokescreen to hide one’s lack of skill.

“Hmm, how much of this should I tell you?”

Mumble, mumble.

However, the awakened one with the curse attribute continued to speak in a calm tone even at this moment.

“First of all, let me tell you a secret. Mr. Kiryeo fell into the poisonous pool in that dragon’s nest and was fine.”

“what…….”

“Of course, it’s not a particularly great achievement. The poison there was enough to withstand other Japanese S-classes to some extent.”

At these words, the association president pauses for a moment.

“But I wonder if that misunderstanding still exists even after hearing this. Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo killed a dragon in that dungeon without even getting hurt.”

“What?”

“Even though it’s a normal monster, the dragon there is so tough that it requires groups of Japanese hunters to hunt it.”

The hunter clearly said that he was only helping the Japanese hunters from behind, so how could he kill the dragon with his own hands?

Moreover, the explanation that followed only served to harden the association president’s lungs.

The method used by that cold-looking hunter to kill the dragon was a truly common and famous skill.

“Besides, the most important point in the story just now is that Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo used [Binding] for hunting.”

Binding.

It is a magic that often appears in the form of a skill stone, and as it has special effects, the process of acquiring it depends a lot on the individual’s aptitude.

To be exact, if you don’t have a talent for telekinesis, your body won’t be able to learn the skill even if you use the skill stone.

However, if you are lucky enough to learn this, it becomes quite useful from then on.

C class, D class, etc.

Unlike other skill stones whose power is often fixed, binding always follows the Awakener’s specs.

“Do you not know, Chairman? The output of [Binding] increases in proportion to the awakening level?”

Esther let out the same sentence the blond man had once uttered.

The association president responded with some rebuttal.

“Well, well. Even if that’s the premise of the skill. It wouldn’t have been manipulated using other means, like an item… … .”

This time, the woman interrupted with a laugh.

“You only know one thing, but you don’t know two. Chairman, the person who told you the story you’ve heard so far is none other than Hunter Iori of Japan.”

“yes?”

“He is the possessor of [emotional] skills!”

President of the Hunter Association.

If you look at it this way, it was a job that involved working in the hunting industry. It was impossible for Go Byeong-do to be completely unaware of the ecology of the Awakened.

“Wait a minute, then surely… … .”

It doesn’t take long for Go Byeong-do to understand what the other person is saying.

Emotionalists are those who are more familiar with the dungeon’s artifacts than anyone else.

That’s why those with analytical skills are often more sensitive to the power of items than other hunters.

“Yes. That rumor is true. I asked just in case, and Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo said he wasn’t wearing a ‘weapon’ during the raid.”

I hope that Japanese experts will make a decision.

Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo did not wear any equipment that increased the power of his skills at the S-class gate in Kagoshima.

No, it’s not just power related items.

Except for the special ability dagger and small box he had in his arms, he was able to proceed with the attack completely naked.

“There was no such thing as manipulation of some great item as you imagined from the beginning.”

… Of course, contrary to what was said, there were facts.

Since it was impossible for Earthlings to increase the power of their skills with the Infinite Power Core, they were unable to know the truth behind the incident.

“So how can Mr. Kiryo be fake? There is already so much evidence.”

“… .”

“I don’t understand why the chairman misunderstood such a trustworthy person in the first place. It’s even more disappointing that he was the one who leaked his home address, and then he got angry and stabbed me because he felt bad about paying a mere 3 billion won in compensation.”

Also, if we assume that Kim Ki-ryeo is truly S-class, then this is a situation where someone here has made a mistake that cannot be recovered.

‘Are you saying that Kim Ki-ryeo killed the dragon himself at the S-class gate? Then what the Japanese guys said in the interview wasn’t just empty talk?’

Cold sweat drips down the association president’s forehead.

Unlike Go Byeong-do’s reaction, which was turning into an anxious expression, Esther was only thinking in her head, ‘It’s certain that the president of the association called Alay, so I can cancel the rental of Justitia. The money is frozen.’

‘Then, could it be that Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo really is…?’

Someone’s misfortune doesn’t end here.

The spark created by the actions of the association president has not yet been properly lit.

“By the way, this incident really made me see Mr. Kiryeo again. He looks so cold, but he saved the association president who leaked valuable information.”

“yes?”

“Furthermore, he kept whining about how he could trust someone who had hidden his rank from the association, so I personally made a contract to put his mind at ease.”

“… Ugh.”

“Surprisingly, he seems to be generous towards the common people.”

Esther muttered for a moment, resting her chin on her hand and glancing somewhere. To be exact, it was where the president’s bodyguards were standing.

“But what should I do? I’m sorry, but I can’t stand it anymore. Whatever the misunderstanding, I don’t want to work with a dangerous species that can draw its sword on an Awakened person whenever it doesn’t suit its fancy.”

“Listen. What are you talking about… … .”

“By the way, if you’re going to make excuses again, just throw me away. I missed my timing earlier, but I really hate criminals who talk too much.”

widely.

“We’ve already given you enough chances, and yet you’ve crossed the line.”

Esther straightened her crossed legs and tapped the floor with her shoe in discontent.

“From now on, I plan to punish you in place of Mr. Kiryeo.”

“her!”

“As for Alay, let’s first give up the position of the association president and then discuss it slowly. There’s a certain order to everything. Okay?”

The S-class hunter sitting on the sofa tried to get up as if he had said everything he wanted to say.

bang!

At this point, the man sitting across from me expressed his anger by slamming the table.

“Hey, listen, listen, that young girl with blue hair has been acting up since a while ago!”

“It’s a surprise.”

“I put up with all that ignorant nonsense, and now what? Give me your seat?”

President Ko Byeong-do grumbled and pointed at the S-class in front of him.

“Let’s see if it’s going to be that easy, Koreatop Guildmaster!”

“Hmm.”

“You must have forgotten already, but I was right there when you made a secret pact with the government!”

“ah.”

“I know very well that you have been committing murder in the name of death penalty!”

But what is this?

Clearly, if it were to be made into an article, it would be fatal to bring up a weakness.

As the president continued speaking, Esther began to open her eyes wide and smile.

“So what do you want me to do?”

To conclude,

The association president’s threats had no effect.

“What, what… … ?”

“Look. These days, thanks to the tyranny of the privileged class like you, distrust in the judiciary is rampant. So what’s the big deal about that?”

Retaliation. Violence. Private sanctions.

People these days tend to be enthusiastic about such provocative things, so the purge of a criminal who harmed an innocent person could be interpreted differently by some citizens.

“If you want to reveal what I did, try it.”

“… .”

“But will the new generation only criticize me? More importantly, will it really spread when I have politicians and journalists behind me?”

By the way, this act of purging high-level criminals was something she had been worried about for a long time.

Apart from conducting a thorough preliminary investigation to prevent innocent people from being harmed.

This is because, just like now, there is a possibility that the government will use this as an excuse to tighten its reins.

But after a brief moment of reflection, Esther had already figured out a solution to the risk.

“Oh. By the way, Mr. Chairman, is your headache feeling better now?”

Headache. At the word, Gomyeongdo’s face visibly distorts.

“I’m glad you’re feeling better, but what if our association president does something bad again in the future?”

“Huh!”

“I’m a little worried that the heavens will be angry and that the condition will get worse again… … .”

Esther, who said this, looked down at the other person with a cold face without even blinking an eye.

This means that he was consistently fierce and fearful, no different from the blonde hunter who had asked him for a favor.

At this time, the president of the Gobyeongdo Association noticed that the guild leader of the Korean Tower had used his power on a person and was momentarily delighted.

Didn’t the other person just say something that was almost like a confession?

There’s always a recorder on in this association president’s office, so if we use that as new negotiating material…!

“Where are you rolling your eyes like that? Is that where the recorder is under that chair?”

But at that time.

The woman with a languid expression raised the corners of her lips and continued to speak.

“I forgot to tell you, but I actually brought some first-class magic stones to this room today.”

At the same time, the executive secretary standing behind her opens the briefcase she was holding and shows it to her.

Wagurur.

Dungeon resources that glow so brightly that it’s blinding.

But this was a dangerous beauty, like the yellow-green color created by uranium oxide.

“So, if you had something like a recording function turned on, the sound might have come out a little strangely… … .”

Interference that mimics the characteristics of a gate.

As the chairman’s eyes fluttered, the Earth’s sorcerer spoke to him with a bright face.

“If you’ve heard this far, I think you’ve gotten the idea. Look forward to it. From now on, it’s your turn to take the beating.”

“Hey, Esther Hunter!”

“For your information, I believe that a person’s sincerity comes from pain. I will definitely tell you the truth later about the price of messing with a good hunter.”

The prologue to destruction has begun.
