The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 233

Episode 233. Isn’t it? (2)

I don’t know which dinner party this story came from.

But anyway, Jeong Ha-seong had previously said that he had cut down on the Internet and started receiving information through analog media as a way to manage stress.

So, isn’t he completely unaware of the current situation?

[I thought the dungeon machine was broken, but it turned out they just replaced the parts and came back.]

[Light light light! Light light light! Light light light! Light light light! Light light light! Light light light! Light light light! Light light light! Light light light! Light light light!]

[Guys, but the story about Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo that came up at the end of the interview… … ]

Bam.

An anonymous community exclusively for hunters.

I turned my head away and turned off my phone before the information there was even fully loaded.

It was unexpected.

A South Korean hunter accomplished a historic feat in just two days when he had no classes.

***

Singapore Chinatown.

A familiar-looking figure appears riding a motorcycle.

Perhaps the tastes of our ancestors, who were called the White-Coated People, were left in our genes. An Awakened person wearing a white outer garment that is not stained by a speck of dust.

Jeong Ha-seong of Korea.

[The Underworld’s Mofo], or [The White Bird], etc.

Artifacts used for movement usually had many restrictions in terms of the number of uses or distance.

However, modern hunters often have to make emergency dispatches to catch enemies located in complex crossroads due to their work.

It wasn’t all that strange for a hunter to have a motorcycle license.

-Dudududu… … . Chin!

The black-haired young man soon turns off his motorcycle and enters the alleyway near the restaurant.

After walking for a while, I saw a passage to another world emitting blue light.

After waiting for a while, an East Asian who had been following me in the backseat opened his mouth next to me…

[Finally, we will recheck the grade and abnormal mutations. Please enter once the inspection is complete.]

[yes.]

Conversation through PIXY’s translator.

Immediately afterwards, a Singaporean wearing full-body safety gear checked the interior of the dungeon.

As soon as the procedure was over, Jeong Ha-seong walked into the dark blue passageway as if he had been waiting.

He had come at the request of the current government to help handle a specific gate.

[Ice Palace].

It is a truly harsh environment for Singapore, which has a hot and humid climate all year round.

If it was just a normal winter cold, I wouldn’t know.

The blizzard in that dungeon wasn’t just so strong that it could bite the skin, it was so strong that it could instantly freeze a person’s entire body to death.

But the time came when the nightmare-like [Ice Palace] came back.

Could it be that the [Grass Nest] that appeared in Korea was some kind of trigger?

This East Asian land, originally famous as a dragon’s nesting ground, is once again overrun by otherworldly reptiles.

But this was not at all good news for Singaporeans.

The dragon is a monster with the size of a mammoth and the ferocity of a killer whale.

So naturally, it was a very dangerous enemy that required a lot of resources to deal with.

[What should I do?]

[There are no more personnel available.]

Singapore is a country without a single S-rank hunter.

However, due to the sudden appearance of dragon nests, the A-class hunters, who used to exist at a fairly high rate, suddenly fell into a manpower shortage.

Which will cause more damage to the nation, dragons or frost monsters?

The Singapore government eventually decides to gather a large number of high-level Awakened people and prioritize the subjugation of the dragons.

But with this method, even if the worst is avoided, the explosion of the non-mainstream high-level gate that will eventually occur during the dragon subjugation, i.e. the attack of the frost monsters, will be unavoidable.

‘But I can’t tell B-class hunters to hunt A-class hunters with the determination to die… … .’

A situation where enemies with high difficulty to defeat appear at the same time, making things complicated in many ways.

But finally, a helping hand has arrived in Singapore, which was struggling with its labor shortage.

Strangely enough, in this world there exists a magical sentence that can calm a person’s anxiety just by hearing it.

-But at that moment, the plane that Jeong Ha-seong was on arrived at the airport.

It was the result of long-term diplomacy.

As a friendly country to Singapore, South Korea accepted their request for emergency relief.

Jeong Ha-seong, the country’s representative hunter, was dispatched to play the role of problem solver.

.

.

.

This is the flow of the past two days.

“I love you! Korea!”

“Waaaaaaaaaah!”

Let me get to the point.

The 27-year-old Korean carried out the association’s instructions with absolute precision.

To be exact, he took charge of conquering the [Ice Palace], which Singapore’s hunters were unable to enter.

This assistance is not a free service, and as a matter of course, appropriate compensation is promised to both the individual dispatched and the country.

Jeong Ha-seong’s actions of running to me as soon as he heard the offer were touching, regardless of the trivial and realistic issues.

Therefore, the expressions on the faces of the overseas fans who gathered to watch the interview looked as if they were about to propose at any moment.

The look in the eyes of the Singaporean Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs standing next to them was not much different from theirs.

[Thank you so much for your help!]

[Please say something!]

Click click click.

Ha Sung began a brief press conference to commemorate the safe handling of the disaster as usual.

In the front row, you can see the familiar faces of our correspondents who came with us from Korea.

Then, it is time to recite a stiff announcement into the microphone on the stage, such as, “A total of n gates have appeared near the city center, but after 48 hours of attack, they have all been cleared out.”

“uh…….”

It was a rare occurrence.

What came out of the hero’s mouth next was quite different from his usual dry announcements.

“30 minutes and 16 seconds.”

He straightened his posture and began to make a strange declaration.

“According to the records, 30 minutes and 16 seconds is the average time it took me to conquer one of these Ice Palaces. I hope this is good news to Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo of Korea.”

“yes?”

Reporters begin to be surprised by Ha Sung’s remarks.

There were two reasons for the reaction.

First of all, time.

That record of 30 minutes and 16 seconds was a whopping 6 times shorter than the new record for conquering the Ice Palace earlier this year.

It’s easy to say 6 times, but how can a world record be broken by such a large margin overnight?

No matter how hard you struggle, you can never get past the magical 3-hour time limit for conquering the Ice Palace.

Moreover, the Korean in front of you is a soloing expert who is famous for not having a separate team.

‘Impossible!’

From the perspective of someone in the same industry, this kind of comment just comes out naturally.

If the time was shortened that drastically, it was most likely the result of adopting the ‘speed run’ technique where you just cut the boss’s head and run away…

The Ice Palace was a complex structure, like a maze made of mirrors. You had to defeat the guards hidden throughout the interior to open the door to the next room.

It wasn’t a dungeon that could be progressed through by ignoring the middle monsters in the normal way.

But what on earth did Jeong Ha-seong do in there to cause this result?

‘no way…….’

‘But still, the fire attribute is worth considering… … .’

‘Did it melt?’

‘You forced yourself through by melting all those solid ice walls?’

A bustling atmosphere.

This was not the end.

Ha-seong added, bringing up the name of the hunter he had mentioned at the end of the sentence.

First of all, he knew that even if he did something like this, it would all seem inadequate in his eyes anyway.

Still, I have no choice but to try my best. Because.

“My goal for this year is to be recognized by you as the best hunter in Korea.”

Ha Sung stood on the stage and showed a rare change in expression.

Firmly, like someone who has decided on something.

“As he said, if you improve your skills, they will be fixed, but I personally worry that TO itself will disappear if you procrastinate… … .”

“What is that?”

“Actually, Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo said he would officially join the team after seeing what I was doing in about three months. So today, I tried to make something meaningful to brag about as a sort of interim settlement.”

Suddenly.

At that moment, the interpreter who was conveying the interview through sign language next to me almost became shocked by his expression.

“Anyway, the story has become long. Then I will shorten it.”

Ha Sung finished the shocking interview with a calm tone.

“I will continue to work hard every day to reach my goal. I hope to come back with good news about the team in the future.”

The misfortune that the aliens had been passing through has finally come to light.

***

-Dalgrak.

Today is Thursday.

We finished our morning classes without any problems as usual and came to the restaurant we had made a reservation for in time for lunch.

But I thought as I watched Jeong Ha-seong place the metal chopsticks in front of me.

‘Is he crazy?’

The actions of that humble hunter were bound to cause such a major accident.

An interview broadcast a few hours ago on a channel on Earth called YTV had already made headlines in the world media, starting with the United States.

Besides, this is a kind of declaration of war.

The reason why Jeong Ha-seong broke the Ice Palace record by a large margin was simply to prove that he was a pretty ‘good’ superpowered person.

‘Damn! Since this side keeps making excuses about their lack of skill, the other side has come up with a solution!’

If the same achievement is repeated in the Ice Palace, the monster before your eyes will soon have a strong logical basis.

Having personally trained him, I can assure you that if Jeong Ha-seong were left alone, he would quickly become considered the best hunter in the world.

This was especially true now that Brooklyn Morgan, the only one with an advantage in magic power, was dead.

But if you keep turning down a hunter with such great influence, and a skilled player who will continue to break dungeon raid records whenever he gets the chance, just because you don’t like him…

‘From then on, everyone will treat me like a crazy person.’

A blocked exit.

However, Jeong Ha-seong did not have a gloomy personality like many Alpha Urines, so it seemed that he did not plan all of this and conduct the interview.

Even now, he is leading by example with a kind face and controlling the heat of the budaejjigae.

So just… … .

“under.”

In reality, he said this simply because he was anxious that the collaborator he had chosen would one day replace the regular team spot with another hunter.

“Mr. Kim Hunter. Why are you doing this?”

“no…….”

“Is it because I announced the team promise?”

Bubbling.

When the stew in the center starts boiling like someone’s stomach.

The young hero examined my complexion with eyes that did not reveal any malice.

“But when Esther Hunter came to question me before, she didn’t say anything about this leak.”

“okay.”

“I’m sorry. I just mentioned it without thinking much and made a promise to myself… … .”

I couldn’t hear the sound he was making.

Because of this Singapore interview, some alien suddenly got a fire in his tentacles.

If Jeong Ha-seong continues to break new records like this, public opinion will gradually become unfavorable.

You can no longer use your lack of skill as an excuse.

Damn, then how on earth are you going to break your team promise with Jeong Ha-seong… … .

‘That’s right.’

But at that time.

A wicked plan that suddenly flashes through my mind.

“excuse me.”

I put the idea that came to mind into action without a moment’s hesitation.

If you think about it, apart from the dangerous method of pointing out the opponent’s power, there is still one very gentle and peaceful solution left.

“Jung Ha-seong, Hunter. I personally appreciate that you’re working so hard just to work with someone like me.”

“haha.”

“But you know, if I told you one day that I might not be able to keep that promise, would you be really upset?”

Towering.

At these words, Jeong Ha-seong stops his spoonful and stares straight ahead at his companion.

“Well, I’m not really upset, I’m just curious.”

“… .”

“I’m sorry, but were my qualifications really that lacking? No matter how much time you gave me, I just couldn’t seem to meet your expectations, Hunter.”

At this I shook my head.

“No. There’s something wrong. The cause isn’t on your side.”

And he continued, touching the upper part of his lung, where he had suffered from chronic pain in the past.

“To be honest, I’ve been thinking about retiring a bit lately.”

“Retirement?”

What’s the use of going around and around in circles and making your head hurt now? Fortunately, there was a very intuitive and powerful excuse in this world.

If a recruiter suddenly announces retirement, this is the very reason he or she most likely will give.

“It’s just health issues and stuff… … .”

I cleared my dry throat for no reason.

They say the person is sick. Would that kind-hearted young man, who is called the national hero, really force someone to work without any blood or tears?

‘Ahem.’

I can’t do it.

At least, that’s the personality of Jeong Ha-seong that I’ve observed so far.

“Of course, don’t worry about the team issue itself. Even if I retire, I plan to pass on similar know-how to Esther Hunter before then, so if you just wait, I’ll make sure you can work with other S-ranks.”

I continued the conversation excitedly, mentioning the name of a sorcerer.

As can be seen from the company’s hiring requirements, Garion’s guild leader has been looking for a comrade who can withstand his fire for a long time.

So, whether the name is Kim or Seo, wouldn’t Ha Seong think that all he had to do was find a colleague he could trust with his back?

‘uh.’

It was around the time I was thinking like that.

I stopped for a moment, struck by the swaying magic of someone that was transmitted through my senses.

Kwajik!

Then suddenly a thunderous noise filled the restaurant.

This is because the S-class hunter reflexively slammed the table, causing it to collapse from the center.
