The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 228

Episode 228. Low Self-Esteem

The Hunter’s innate mana is said to never change, except in the early stages of awakening when high instability occurs due to the evolved organs adapting to new substances.

[15.97]

But somehow, the maximum mana of this F-class hunter’s body keeps increasing.

12. 14. and 15.

The increase was so small that even the wizard who took over the body didn’t notice it.

But anyway.

I have all the evidence I wanted to get from this… … .

“No problem. Thank you for your hard work.”

After completing the measurements, the inspector left a greeting to the association staff and went on his way.

***

A few hours later.

As always, I am holed up in Kim Ki-ryeo’s studio apartment.

But today the atmosphere at home was quite different from usual.

Recently, whenever I had free time, I would spread out all kinds of papers and devote myself to research in order to perfect the body swap technique.

Now he’s lying on his fluffy blanket and doing nothing.

“hmm…….”

The explosion of the body, the testimony of the contractor, and the information obtained from the Hunter Association are combined to produce this result.

“The magical power of this body has not yet matured.”

That’s why Kang Chang-ho showed crazy interest in me as soon as he saw me.

If we interpret it, it means that an awakened being with no clear limits and constantly growing has suddenly appeared on Earth, something that has never been seen before.

On Earth, innate magic that is always effective without having to be activated separately is called a passive skill.

In addition, these passive skills were within the range that could be sufficiently obtained with [Improvement].

It is not yet known whether Kim Ki-ryeo’s special traits are the result of primitive sorcery or a physical talent derived from genetic information.

If there was even a 1% chance of gaining such an incredible ability, it would be worth taking a gamble.

‘I guess [Improvement] is probably a technique that copies magic rather than stealing it… ‘

Finally, Kang Chang-ho’s actions become understandable.

A holder of an ultra-rare skill (presumably) that allows the user to overcome their innate limitations suddenly appears, so how can a wizard tolerate this?

‘It wasn’t my failure.’

A situation where a corpse that was looked down upon as trash is actually revealed to be a high-quality item that cannot even be compared to a C-class hunter.

No matter what, it’s hard to say that there are no limits at all. After all, as a primitive species, this reincarnation will eventually hit a wall.

In any case, there was no denying the fact that Kim Ki-ryeo had special potential.

Assuming there was no problem with the premise of the reincarnation magic that it would ‘inhabit the corpse with the highest magical power on Earth’.

It wouldn’t be particularly strange if this blond youth’s ultimate growth point turns out to be that of an S-class hunter.

‘That’s good news.’

But there is one problem.

It’s great that I’ve discovered that I have a singularity, but how can I unleash the potential of this body?

‘hmm.’

I have overcome many trials and tribulations by utilizing the magical knowledge I have accumulated in my past life.

But this time, I honestly can’t think of any means.

I don’t even know what other modifications I should make to this body.

Due to the enormous difference in the weight of the souls, body swapping is no longer possible unless you happen to obtain the corpse of a top-tier Awakened being.

My lung capacity has already been restored to normal, but my magical power still means that I have no way to escape this body that is crawling around on the edge of Class F.

At least in terms of data, it does appear that things are getting better over time.

‘An increase of approximately 2.025 Aw.’

Even if the growth rate is slow, it is too slow.

Even if you do a rough mental calculation, it would be faster for the century to turn than for Kim Ki-ryeo to achieve a C-class. So you want me to wait for that to happen?

‘uh.’

And this one also has a contract to be used as a sacrifice after 9 years?

‘Uh huh.’

How do I bring out the full potential of this reincarnation?

No matter how much I thought about the method, nothing came to mind.

Besides, from now on, even trying is pointless.

Again, the souls of Earthlings and the magically developed Alpha Urines are fundamentally different in level, and vessels of ambiguous units can never be utilized.

No, I don’t think so, but in reality, it is uncertain whether even an S-class hunter’s body can properly withstand my pressure.

Dragon’s lungs.

The corpse of a suitable awakened person.

Up until now, I had been working so hard, hoping that if I could just get them, I would regain my strength.

I did some work… … .

‘Wait a minute, so from now on I’m going to be stuck in this body with no hope of getting better?’

A sudden feeling of helplessness came over me.

The conclusion that the reincarnation magic might not have failed was also a terrible double-edged sword.

Maybe I’ll have to live my whole life in this vessel where the magic power increases by 2 per year.

As I think about it, an unfamiliar feeling gradually rises in my chest.

‘Huh? So from now on I’m a real F-class person who was just born in another world?’

summer.

Usually, since it is a season when the amount of sunlight increases, you can expect beneficial effects such as increased vitality.

For the first time since I was reincarnated, I was overcome by uncontrollable gloom.

Acute depression has begun.

***

I’m an F-class.

Even if I can use basic magic, I have to live my whole life with this kind of poor firepower.

Grumbling.

One alien barely swallowed the traces of sadness that were about to spill out of his mouth and focused on his meal.

By the way, today’s menu is rice cooked in a stone pot.

‘And I’m X-Bob… … .’

Flutter, flutter.

I came to this expensive restaurant because I thought that keeping my body healthy would help my mind.

I never thought I would feel this helpless and depressed while enjoying a meal.

I ran for a long time with the expectation that things would get better, but in the end, everything went down the drain, so it was a situation where I had no choice but to sink.

‘Damn it. Now that I think about it, this is really no laughing matter. Come to think of it, there were more than a few things I did with the intention of changing bodies.’

Ugh.

If I had somehow gotten a small part-time job and worked hard to earn money instead of bragging about being strong, I wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.

‘We’re in big trouble.’

Because I had been branded as an S-class hunter, I couldn’t just turn back.

Because your face is sold worldwide, it has become difficult to live in hiding somewhere.

Modifications that permanently change one’s appearance by adding flesh… … .

Of course, there are still tricks like this, but the problem is the rare characteristics of this body.

The sway of magic.

In fact, there was no way to hide it for 24 hours.

‘Controlling the outflow of mana is no different from holding your breath, so if an F-rank hunter does it for too long, they’ll just die.’

Even if you lay down countless dummies, it would all be over the day this feature is captured by [Dragon’s Eye].

It’s a total mess.

‘With this amount of magical power, even if you gather a bunch of auxiliary equipment, you’ll be defeated without a fight against an S-class.’

Oh my. No matter how many times I think about it, there’s no future, so it seems like it would be cleaner to just go play with fireworks early…

I unconsciously looked down at the [Pyromancer Necklace] hanging around my neck.

But at that time.

Suddenly, a young man’s voice is heard from the opposite seat.

“older brother.”

Perhaps because the period of smoking was very short, his vocal cords have a relatively clear tone compared to Kim Ki-ryeo.

The speaker is Ahn Yun-seung.

“huh.”

This restaurant has a small number of tables and does not accept single customers, so the alien brought the Earthling to order food.

“Hey, hey, the rice cooked in this pot is really tasty. Um, of course, since you bought it for me, it tastes twice as good… … .”

“Okay. Eat a lot.”

“Excuse me, has anything been wrong with you lately?”

An Yoon-seung, who was eating, put down his spoon and suddenly asked a question.

I tried to hide my feelings by keeping my facial muscles in a neutral position.

Since the other person had a blank expression and no change in expression, Yunseung felt uncomfortable.

“Bad thing?”

But how would an alien reveal the truth here?

“Nothing in particular.”

In fact, the S-class hunter sitting in front of you is a fraudulent registrant who manipulated his awakening level, and he is a mere speck of dust whose only skill is to show off his prowess.

… It’s something that I can’t just blurt out here.

Kiryun made up a vague lie and picked up a nearby side dish.

‘It’s strange. But still, something… something is definitely different from usual… .’

But the great shock caused his already poor physical abilities to regress even further.

The suspicions grew even stronger as the weak chopstick movements that followed.

‘Hmm.’

Yoon Seung, who witnessed Kim Ki Ryeo’s sudden decline in condition, thought quietly.

The hunter in front of you is a person with strong mental strength.

At least, it was evaluated as worthy of the word ‘superhuman’.

Well, I am a witness who was with the aquarium incident from beginning to end.

That’s why, as a party to the incident, I heard a lot of information from the police.

‘Those foreigners were said to be Awakened beings with incredibly strong mental skills… … .’

A monster that, rather than being harmed by the status effects of overseas hitmen, actually defeats the enemy.

I still remember Alai’s seizures, which were so trembling that they aroused sympathy.

So, no matter how oblivious you are, you can’t help but realize it when you witness such an overwhelming battle.

A blonde hunter stood in a position close to mental perfection.

Furthermore, Seung Yoon thought that his opponent was impeccable in exercising physical force, as expected of an S-rank hunter.

but.

Even that iron man, who seems to have been born to hunt, is ultimately a human being with blood and emotions. Isn’t he sometimes affected by things like fatigue and stress?

‘Eeeeeee, did that image get into your eyes too, hyung…?’

Moreover, it was a life full of ups and downs, as if there was some problem with the four pillars of destiny that he was trying to achieve.

What if you suddenly meet an overseas hitman in the aquarium?

This damn Y-Tube, if used correctly, is a useful medium for sharing fun and information.

There are a few people who are blinded by the number of views and who create new disputes and become a headache.

〔A ‘Crisis Child’ from an Orphanage → Transformation into an S-Class Hunter〕

I still get goosebumps when I think about that thumbnail.

An article exposing Hunter’s private life written by a reporter from Jeongseong Ilbo under the guise of evil.

Fortunately, the article itself was taken down shortly after, as if someone had taken appropriate action.

〔Hunterbu Reporter’s Misdeeds (Kim Ki-ryeo’s Family History) ‘Is this something a person would do?’〕

The fast-moving tycoons quickly captured the article that was only briefly exposed and recently created a new video.

This is why Kim Ki-ryeo’s background has become a hot topic on the Internet again.

Sympathy, contempt, jeers, rejection, and interest poured in just because she was an orphan.

If even third parties feel this upset and angry, how much more do you think the person whose personal information was leaked feels?

‘Things that are crazy about interest.’

It’s regrettable.

-I told you over the phone, but I’ve never been to a place like this in my life.

And by the time I found out why that S-class hunter at the aquarium said that, my heart ached even more.

Why did such a strong, chivalrous, and kind-hearted person have to suffer such humiliation?

‘Even the heavens are indifferent.’

widely.

Ahn Yoon-seung stopped eating for a moment and fell into thought.

‘Is there anything I can do for you?’

first of all.

It was obvious that something was wrong with Korea’s fourth S-class Hunter.

The blonde hunter was still fiddling with the rice cooker and looking exhausted.

However, since he said it was okay first, if you keep nagging him about the cause, you will only end up making things worse.

‘If I keep checking his mood and asking him how he feels, I feel like it’ll seem like I know about that article and video that’s on the internet… ‘

Then what do we do about this?

Yun Seung wanted to help his respected superiors if possible.

Would you be sorry for wasting all that gold and silver treasure if it could just ease the worries of the person who saved your life?

But that hunter is an ascetic who rarely shows interest in material things – that’s Ahn Yoon-seung’s opinion – so money wouldn’t be of much help.

Yun Seung began to seriously think about how he could help Kim Ki Ryeo.

“You finished everything except a single mushroom. Should I order another bowl?”

“Oh, no! It’s okay. This alone is enough to fill me up! Really!”

“Really? Then should I get up now?”

“yes!”

And this happened exactly 37 hours later.

The incident that made Ahn Yoon-seung exclaim in admiration the moment he saw it happened in Seoul.
