The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 204

Episode 204. Beast (2)

I feel like this conversation is driving people crazy.

But if you think about it, the man they were referring to was most likely not me.

That American S-class hunter suspects this guy of being a shameless person who lied about his rank.

‘Is this a statement aimed at Kang Chang-ho?’

The awakened ones of the body enhancement series tend not to show their magical properties on the outside. Well, it’s not that strange that Kang Chang-ho is suspected.

I drank the remaining green tea and turned off my phone.

First of all, I understand that the world has become noisy because of some awakened person, but honestly, that’s not a problem we should be concerned about.

‘You make a fuss, I’ll just do my job~’

So I started my day with light thoughts.

We started making dummies.

[★☆★No informal speech★☆★]

[[Recruitment] 10th (Mon) D-class strategy healer urgently needed High rate]

[[Trade] Please sell me some screaming stakesㅜㅜㅜ]

[[Question] Is this the ring item worn by the celebrity in this photo?]

10 am.

A site on the Internet.

Today is a weekday.

Normally, the number of visitors to a typical community would decrease at times like this, but this place was relatively lively as it was a place where hunters were mainly active.

[[Chat] What Hunter GRL said]

But one peaceful morning.

A new topic suddenly appeared on the bulletin board.

[Main text: Now that I think about it, what is the real awakening attribute?]

This is because the same curiosity gradually began to surface on the Internet, triggered by a news report from a non-terrestrial broadcasting station citing an American talk show.

Jeong Ha-seong, Esther, etc.

Those hunters, who occupy the 1st and 2nd place in the rankings, are so unique in their innate sorcery that it is now rare to find a citizen who does not know their lineage… … .

The cases of Kang Chang-ho and Kim Ki-ryeo were slightly different.

Some people just recognized him right away because he was a great wizard in his past life.

Because spells that enhance physical abilities are often confused with the basic specs of top predators.

Kang Chang-ho’s lineage is difficult to show off except in extremely difficult battles.

And what about that blonde’s abilities?

Kang Chang-ho was a hunter with some experience, so he was able to infer the series using past data.

The more information about Korea’s fourth S-class is revealed, the more confusion there becomes.

① If you hid your rank at the direction of the association, then you must be a special ability user skilled in espionage.

② How could such a person have thought of fighting one-on-one with an inevitable evil? It is clear that he has high fighting power.

③ Then, is it the same physical strengthening as Kang Chang-ho?

④ No. Looking at the recruitment recommendation from the Garion Guild Leader, it is correct to assume that the fourth person is someone with exceptional defensive abilities.

⑤ Ahn Yoon-seung’s role model remarks also support this assumption.

⑥ Guys, I heard that Kim Ki-ryeo used support skills at the Japanese gate.

⑦ Huh?

⑧ What is it?

⑨ Then what on earth is it?

This is the social media timeline that has flowed so far.

But as you can see, no one has yet reached a clear conclusion.

[Main text: Hey guys… You don’t have to go far to find out more about this. Just watch the interview with Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo about the Siren strategy. In that interview, Hunter made a passing reference to Esther Hunter’s ability traits. So, aren’t they both cursed hunters… . @;~~~]

The more you dig into the trail, the more speculations emerge.

The hunter in question himself remained silent about the awakening series (all aliens used magic regardless of their attributes. Therefore, it would be a lie to talk about any series at this point), so public opinion online naturally became distorted.

【 chat 1 】

[What is that kid’s awakening attribute?]

[Defense Plane Defense Plane]

[The physiognomy is life-giving, but how is that a tank?]

[Looking at the fact that he says he learned a lot from following around by a guy named Yoon Sang, it seems like he’s a defensive type. In addition, he trains with Jeong Ha-seong every week, and seeing that he doesn’t show any signs of damage on the outside, I honestly wonder if there’s anything else he can do. When you work with a defensive type, you can really tell that their physicals are different. Their recovery speed is also exceptionally fast.]

Just like the misconception about the national hero Jeong Ha-seong.

First of all, the ability that was predicted to be the most likely was the defensive type, related to protecting teammates and increasing the body’s hardness.

But even that wasn’t absolute.

As is typical of the fast-changing modern Internet, netizens often refute mainstream opinions whenever they get the chance.

【 chat 1 (refresh) 】

[No way it’s a defense type. If that hunter isn’t an attack type awakened one, it doesn’t make sense. It’s common for defense types to take forever to kill a single boss. Even when they’re holding the same weapon, their hunting speed is particularly frustrating.]

[Really]

[If it was that hunter defense system, wouldn’t it have been organized until the Imugi light came last winter??]

Birth magic.

The inhabitants of this planet did not yet know how the talent of a herder was determined, but, as expected from a species that had conquered the food chain with superior intelligence, they were gradually becoming aware of the hidden rules.

[I think the above is correct too.

Kim Ki-ryeo Hunter… doesn’t the atmosphere seem a bit out of sync with the defense system? lol

Most of the awakened people on that side have a gentle personality that makes them seem like they would embrace people well.

No kidding, it’s seriously amazing. Haha

But Hunter Kim has a very cold impression.

Just by looking at it, the distinction between public and private is clear and the style is cool.

Somehow it doesn’t match the defensive skill.]

[I agree]

[Oh my gosh, this is a bit creepy. That’s right, our team member’s personality is just like that!]

A few mammals with keen senses can sense it without realizing it.

I somehow feel like Kim Ki-ryeo is not a defensive type of awakened person.

Of course, this method is somewhat unstable in terms of accuracy, like the physiognomy of the Earth.

[ㅋㅋㅋThese guys, later on, they say that the ability to awaken is different depending on blood type~]

Most citizens dismissed the series-individuality theory as mere pseudoscience.

anyway.

In the end, as long as Kim Ki-ryeo himself kept his mouth shut, no matter how much the outsiders talked, it would be useless.

But now, it is a time when an unidentified top-tier Awakened being called Beast is causing trouble.

Then, in order to allay the public’s anxiety, wouldn’t it be right for the person involved to reveal the truth at this point?

[Text: Everyone, yesterday in Greece, an Awakened person named Beast was caught taking a corpse… The world really is so dangerous… Personally, I think we should implement a mandatory registration system for Hunters’ abilities, even now…]

But in fact, this was also ambiguous in many ways.

Item.

The Earth has been through a lot of trouble because of the magical tools that appear in the dungeon.

Among them, there were many cases where they tried to steal by wrapping up equipment that could counterattack by analyzing the awakening ability revealed by the hunter himself, because they coveted the valuable items of their industry colleagues.

In the first place, due to technological limitations, there was no way for the state to stop all the liars who were hiding their power.

So what. The conclusion is.

[★☆★Notice★☆★]

The administrator of the mother site calms down the heated atmosphere by completely banning the writing of speculative posts about S-class hunters.

Fortunately, site users did not express much dissatisfaction with this measure.

[Yes. I think it would be better to just ban it. It’s a problem we can’t come up with an answer to anyway.]

What can happen if you don’t know one of the other person’s main attributes?

Siren.

Gampo Port incident.

And many other things besides.

A certain blonde hunter has shown himself to be trustworthy enough so far. Surely the identity of such a person cannot be a vicious beast like the Beast.

[That’s right. How could that hunter be a beast? Hahaha. There are so many people in the world who are 179cm tall.]

[There are also many people whose attributes are secret, lol]

[There are many people as strong as S-class… Me?]

[… .]

[… .]

It probably won’t be… … .

***

In a country where even cars are chosen in black or white with an eye on what others think, a bright hair color was chosen without hesitation.

A strangely eerie gaze, like when you lock eyes with a criminal’s ID photo from an old documentary.

And the suit that he wears every day.

A modern-day Baekjeong, whose job is not to deal with people but to simply cut up animals, always wears a three-piece suit.

Kim Ki-ryeo’s speech, which was translated as being influenced by his original owner, was generally polite.

But despite these merits, he has difficulty finding favor with the public.

This is because various characteristics have overlapped, creating an appearance that is difficult to even talk to.

However, those who have talked to him directly tend to quickly forget their first impressions.

[I thought it was strong, tsk tsk. If I saw the face, it would be exactly like this!]

Taking the past school violence fabrication revelation incident as an example, netizens are quick to bring up physiognomy and give negative evaluations whenever new suspicions arise.

“Hello, Mr. Ha-seong!”

However, even the public institutions that most frequently come into contact with hunters are not free from this prejudice.

“You came here again today to ask about new overseas dungeon information, right? I knew you would, so I sent it to the staff information room in advance. Mr. Ha-seong, please wait here for a moment while you have a cup of tea!”

“Oh, yes.”

One Monday.

Jeong Ha-seong visited the association for the first time in a long while because he had some business to attend to.

An employee who was mainly in charge of dealing with Jeong Ha-seong – a C-class Awakened who was able to maintain composure in front of the highest level – suddenly brought up this topic.

“Oh! But, you know what?”

“yes?”

“Ha Sung, did you see that news too? It’s Beast.”

“I think I saw it in the newspaper yesterday.”

“I see! Anyway, isn’t that why the world is in chaos these days?”

“yes.”

“But I saw it on YouTube. I think Beast might be someone we know~”

By the way, the person ranked number 1 is drinking iced tea given to him by an employee.

“No, seriously, that makes perfect sense. Beast always chooses the dungeons he avoids, like he’s some kind of thrill junkie.”

“hmm.”

“Do you remember when Mr. Ha Sung had to clear the White Tower in Singapore alone? At that time, Beast was taking over a dungeon called [Paradise Lost] and was fighting Demilich.”

“… .”

“But what happened when the S-Gate appeared in Japan? Suddenly, not a single hair was visible? Then what could this be?”

There’s a culprit among the members of the Kagoshima conquest battle!

The staff continued to chat in a somewhat detached tone, as the Beast mainly affected European countries.

“So does that mean Beast is Japanese?”

Ha-seong asked without thinking.

The employee who heard this was disgusted and corrected himself.

“No. That’s not what I’m saying… … Now, let’s see. The S-classes in Japan have already had their affiliations revealed, right?”

“Then Kang Chang-ho?”

“No, no~ That guy is completely different in size from the start!”

180cm.

Excluding the height of low-heeled shoes that are closer to flip-flop slippers, a more precise estimate would be about 179 cm tall.

“I was talking about Kim Ki-ryeo, Kim Ki-ryeo. The internet is abuzz right now with talk about whether or not you’re Beast.”

The association staff continued their chatter in excited voices.

As he has been in charge of handling the number one ranking for a long time, he has seen and experienced many incidents.

Of those, the one that remains most vivid is the report of a suspected grade forgery.

Besides, he had once witnessed an F-class and S-class battle through a window while walking down the hallway during lunch break.

‘As soon as Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo got out of the taxi, Jeong Ha-seong swung his sword in a very vicious manner.’

A blonde hunter who evaded this with a red trail left in the air and superhuman abilities.

‘And later on, there was a fight in front of a hospital where they burned their skin to the point of burning it?’

He deluded himself by remembering only the negative events that occurred between Ha-seong and Gi-ryeo.

I thought Jeong Ha-seong still hated Kim Ki-ryeo.

So, I started gossiping about the number one ranking person without hesitation.

“By the way, Mr. Ha-seong, do you spar with that hunter on the weekends recently? Regularly?”

“… .”

“Oh, but that must be hard. Of course, if you’re not that kind of person, there’s no S-class person who can use you as a sandbag. Even if sparring helps improve your skills, it’s a bit.”

“… .”

“It looks cheap. The rumors are also like that. What if our national hero gets hacked later? Haha. Then, please tell me right away. Then I will quickly… … .”

Moon.

Ha-seong, who had finished drinking the iced tea the employee had handed him, quietly placed the glass down on the desk and spoke.

“excuse me.”

“yes yes!”

I just didn’t respond at all because I was crazy about the dungeon.

For the employee who had been misunderstanding that Ha-seong liked listening to his chatter, this was a shocking statement.

“Excuse me, but what on earth are your intentions in cursing the Hunter in front of the Hunter… … ?”

Moreover, the hero’s tone was unusually rough.

“Uh, yeah?”

“What’s so special about Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo?”

“Gasp! That, that, I absolutely did not mean to offend you, I’m so sorry if it came across that way… … .”

“I’m telling you for sure, Hunter Kim has absolutely no ties to anything like Beast. How can someone who belongs to an organization be the one to spread rumors?”

The atmosphere became cold in an instant.

That was when.

“uh?”

“uh.”

If it were any other S-class, it would have been revealed a long time ago.

The opponent was an Awakened who did not have a single bit of magical power, so Jeong Ha-seong was late in recognizing the one who had approached him.

“Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo?”

“Hey, Ha-seong. Hi.”

Kim Ki-ryeo appeared in the association.

What happened then was that the number one hunter in South Korea willingly bowed down to the blonde.

The association staff member who was watching this from the side suddenly became haggard.

However, the two S-class people who met in the hallway continued their conversation without noticing the change.

Why did you come to the association?

Oh, I came to apply for a dungeon raid.

Is that why you came all the way here?

To be exact, the app has crashed, but I couldn’t find a solution so I came here…

“Is this a dead end? Mr. Kim Hunter. If it’s okay, can I look at your phone for a moment?”

During this process, Jeong Ha-seong noticed that the cause of the inconvenience Kiria was experiencing was related to software updates.

“It’s nothing. It seems like the automatic updates just stopped working… … .”

As expected from the ambiguous evaluation score of 3.2★, the Hunter app did not have a mechanism to automatically go to the store.

So Ha-seong manipulated the cell phone he had been given with the intention of doing manual updates instead.

Talk.

But while I was touching the screen, I accidentally opened the background screen of my smartphone… … .

Bam.

Jeong Ha-seong immediately moves his fingers and does what he has to do.

I went into the store and updated the official app for Hunters.

“Are you done?”

Then, with his usual calm demeanor, he returned the phone to its owner.

“Oh, now it turns on without disconnecting.”

Well then, the problem has been solved, so what’s the point of hanging around here?

“Thank you, Ha-seong. I’ll buy you dinner later.”

Kim Ki-ryeo glanced at the hero with a frozen expression, then raised the corners of his lips in gratitude.

So the 179cm tall man leaves the place without any regrets, having achieved his goal.

Step by step.

However, Jeong Ha-seong remained silent for a long time, staring at the hunter who was returning the way he came.

‘No way… … .’

Those awakened by the fire attribute are not originally sensitive to heat.

weird.

For some reason, sweat kept dripping from my right temple today.
