The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 227

Episode 227. ?

7 hours later.

A studio apartment in Seoul. A sunny day.

I fiddled with my cell phone, chasing the sound of cicadas chirping in the summer through the window.

For reference, this is after all the work in that abandoned building has been neatly cleaned up.

In other words, it could be said that it has been 7 hours since the failure.

“after.”

I can’t even breathe a wink because I’m trying to erase the robber’s DNA that was scattered everywhere and restore the assets that were buried underground to their original state in the bankbook. My head is already spinning.

“Ha, okay. Let’s hold on. Now is not the time for me to rest… … .”

I washed my face with cold water to relieve some of the fatigue and then reflected.

First, the results of the body swap that took place in that abandoned building can be summarized in this sentence.

“The soul of a great wizard cannot be contained in the body of a C-class hunter. This is because the standards of the body and soul do not match, and the body will break.”

But if you look closely, there is no result as strange as this.

“her.”

After all, I used Kim Ki-ryeo’s body for months without any problems!

Blonde with three hundred eyes.

This vessel with a unique appearance easily withstood the pressure of my soul, despite its awakening test result being an F-grade discard.

But now, a C-class hunter.

Even here, the body of an awakened person classified as intermediate is destroyed due to the difference in level?

“hmm…….”

I cover my mouth and reflect as if it were a habit.

The first thing that came to my mind was a strong guess.

If the hypothesis just occurred to you is true, yesterday’s failure would not be something to be regretted.

Rather, it may be something to shout and rejoice about. However, a hypothesis is ultimately only powerful when there is evidence to support it.

‘There is evidence to support it.’

I was standing there, thinking quietly, when suddenly I couldn’t hold it in any longer and sighed.

“aha.”

It was because I realized my defeat.

Well, I already had the means to prove the hypothesis that had just occurred to me.

“What the hell.”

Well then, since I remember, should I ask the person in question to confirm it?

Knock. Knock. Knock.

I turned on my phone and dialed someone’s number.

Then, after a few signals, a familiar silence sets in.

-… … .

A characteristic telephone habit of maintaining silence for a moment until the caller speaks the first word.

“Hello, Hunter Kang Chang-ho.”

The person who answered the phone was the third S-class hunter in South Korea, Kang Chang-ho.

“I’m sorry to contact you so suddenly. Can I talk to you?”

-say.

“It’s nothing special, I was just wondering about something out of the blue.”

-Are you curious?

“It’s about our contract… … .”

I’ve never really delved deeply into the unfamiliar situation of my life being threatened by a giant S-class hunter.

Well, I had magical knowledge of a different dimension.

So, theoretically, it would be possible to use all the magic that existed on Earth.

Although it lacked only horsepower, this body actually possessed tens of thousands of skills due to the driver’s influence.

‘That’s why I thought that whatever Kang Chang-ho, the owner of [the desire for improvement], wanted, it wasn’t an important issue anyway.’

But after the early morning corpse explosion incident… … .

Now I’m starting to wonder. Was the topic I was ignoring really that trivial?

“greatness.”

I cleared the smoker’s throat slightly and then continued talking.

“Anyway, what I was going to ask was… Hunter Kang. What was the exact name of the skill you wanted to take away by using [Improvement]?”

-… .

“I wish you could tell me that more clearly now.”

To this, Kang Chang-ho answers.

-That’s a really random question.

Clang.

At the same time, the sound of dishes being put down can be heard beyond the speakers.

It’s 10 a.m. It’s a bit late for breakfast. So, is that person eating brunch right now?

-What were you aiming for with your [spirit of improvement]? I thought you already knew the answer. Well, you never really asked me until now.

I was silent for a moment.

-But now, why are you suddenly asking about that skill? Why would you want to hear the name of a skill you have from someone else… … .

Since this person didn’t answer, he finally seemed to realize something and let out a breath.

-ah.

The conversation continued.

-Oh. I never thought that would happen… but you don’t know for sure whether you have the skill or not?

I lightly denied it, moving the cell phone from my right hand to my left.

“It’s not that I don’t know, I just got confused about a certain part. But since you said that, I think we were thinking of the same skill.”

-… .

“Can I ask you one more thing?”

-as you please.

“Actually, what I’m really curious about is this. Hunter Kang was able to recognize my skills with his naked eye.”

Yes. [Dragon’s Eye].

Until now, we have only focused on the lungs and have not paid attention to that organ area.

It is said that when observing Kim Ki-ryeo’s corpse with a specific item called [Dragon’s Eye], there is a phenomenon that always appears.

A ripple of doubt.

Until now, I had assumed that it was a result of differences in souls, but thinking back, there is no greater complacency than this.

“Why does the phenomenon of magic power shaking remind me of a certain skill?”

I held the phone tightly and asked.

But Kang Chang-ho couldn’t answer quickly. He just spat out a dry sound as if he was thinking about something.

-hmm.

After thinking it over, Kang Chang-ho said.

-Somehow I don’t feel like telling you… … . If I tell you this, you’ll realize your worth too clearly.

“Is that so?”

-But looking at the atmosphere, it seems like they’re already half-confident, and they’ve already signed a contract anyway.

I guess it doesn’t matter.

The person who said that quenched his thirst with a drink that seemed to contain ice and began to explain.

-Do you happen to know Choi Jin?

“yes?”

-I’m not a hunter who works in Seoul. I’m an awakened person who’s ranked 3rd or 4th. I have short hair…

“Oh, yes. I know.”

-Then you probably know that the woman is carrying around [Dragon’s Heart].

Why is the name of Dragon Slayer suddenly mentioned here?

-Anyway, listen carefully.

Before I could even express my doubt, the other person added an explanation.

-I’ve only ever seen two instances in my life where magic power wavered.

One is when the awakening ability is sealed with an item such as [Twisted Rabbit Foot].

In particular, the more you limit the awakening value, the more severe the shaking becomes, like boiling water.

But a new case has been discovered since a few years ago.

I heard that a new artifact called [Dragon’s Heart] dropped in Singapore, so I went to see the Awakened who had swallowed it.

Choi Jin… … .

In fact, that hunter didn’t go from B-rank to A-rank in one breath.

Because it took about 8 hours for [Dragon’s Heart] to properly settle into the body.

When I returned to Korea and took the first awakening re-examination, I was in the top 50% of Class B. The second re-examination, I was in the top 3% of Class B.

And finally, when the change stopped, the measurement was the current top 20% of Grade A.

Moon.

As Kang Chang-ho put down the drink he was drinking on the table, a familiar noise flowed out from the cheap speaker of the entry-level smartphone.

-I know because I watched the whole process from afar. When the change occurred inside Choi Jin’s body… … . I definitely saw the same shaking back then.

If the premises are piled up like this, it should be easy to draw a conclusion.

-I think this is enough of an explanation. Can I stop here?

A little later.

The call is ending.

I couldn’t wait for the brief moment when my phone screen would turn off and immediately reached for the clothes hanger next to me.

***

Noisy.

All kinds of noises collide inside the clean white building.

The sound of people walking.

The sound of a sick person’s stomach creaking.

And the sound of employees chatting inside the empty desk.

This is the Hunter Association’s awakening test reception center, where complaints regarding all tasks using PIXY’s magic detector, such as grade objection applications, are processed.

But since awakening is a rare phenomenon, I still had a lot of time to slack off compared to other desks… … .

“omg!”

That was when.

One of the employees sitting at his desk suddenly looks surprised and jumps up.

Then, the rest of the people who had been focused on the conversation also raised their heads one by one and held their breath.

Thump, thump, thump.

What is soon heard is the sound of heels that somehow arouses tension in people.

“Oh, hello. Kim Ki-ryeo Heon… … .”

Sigh.

But guess what?

The blond man, who approached with brisk strides, naturally took a number from a nearby sign.

If you look at it up to this point, it was the behavior of an ordinary citizen who complained, to the point of being ridiculous.

“Hey, come this way! What brings you here?”

But as soon as the man realized that there was no one else waiting, he started making shocking statements.

“I would like to use the latest awakening tester in the association, so please call the person in charge.”

“yes?”

chin.

Immediately afterwards, the man passed the wad of blue bills he was holding in his hand across the desk.

“immediately.”

Since there is no applicable subsidy, I have to pay the new re-examination measurement fee of 3.46 million won in a lump sum.

The employees, feeling pressured by the wads of cash handed over, get up in a hurry and start guiding people.

And soon after, Kiryeo found himself standing in front of a familiar-looking device… … .

.

.

.

“Uh, if you have any sensitive electronic devices that are greatly affected by mana particles, such as cell phones, please put them over here in advance. Oh! Yes. You can lie down with your head over there.”

Choi Jin obtained a heart-shaped magic tool.

And the Awakened ones who are under the abnormal condition of sealing their power.

This is what the two cases the third S-class hunter talked about have in common.

‘It’s only when there is continuous fluctuation in the awakening level… … .’

That is, the moment when a change occurs in someone’s magical power, it appears as a shaking in the dragon’s eyes.

However, due to the nature of the soul, this one is immune to the vast majority of abnormal conditions, and, with the exception of Blueshell’s, which has already been stabilized, it has never been near equipment that increases magic power.

then.

Why does Kim Ki-ryeo’s magic power seem so ‘unstable’?

-Wheeeeeeek… … .

Soon, PIXY’s new inspection machine comes into operation.

-Empty.

And then, just as the familiar noise began to flow, a nervous-looking male employee next to me said in a trembling voice, ‘Please wait a moment until it prints.’

A Korean S-class hunter wanted to receive the results of the test in a tangible form even before entering this space.

“Hey, hey, here, here are the results.”

After waiting for a moment, an employee came from the next room and printed out the fourth test result.

Then the cold-faced man stands up from his seat and looks through the documents.

“… … .”

“By any chance, is there a problem?”

Grade F.

The level of magic power is in the top 60%.

The results are exactly like the results of the second inspection that Seonwooyeon attended.

The employee of the agency that conducted this re-examination glanced at the documents the other party had received and thought.

There’s no way a measuring device that’s only been around for a short time could have broken down already. The reason why the value is so low is probably because the hunter in front of you has manipulated the awakening value by using an artifact or curse.

After all, Kim Ki-ryeo is a top-class strongman who has been active in all kinds of break scenes.

There’s no way I could really have this much magic power.

“hmm.”

But contrary to the expectations of the association staff, in fact, Hunter Mo did not cheat during this inspection.

Rather, he deliberately removed the auxiliary devices he had always used from his body.

Strip away any coating from the sacred tree saplings that could affect the measurement process, and extract all the blue shell material circulating in the blood vessels.

The Jinsowi was set up exactly the same as the natural body state immediately after reincarnation.

“Hmm… … .”

Tilting.

The blond man, who had been looking down at the documents, soon tilted his head.

this.

It seems that the Great Mage’s reincarnation magic did not fail.
