The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 29

Episode 29. The Goose That Lays Golden Eggs (3)

Ahn Yoon-seung thought.

He said that he had never felt awe in his life.

During my school days, I didn’t have any mentors to look up to, which is typical for sensitive teenagers.

Because I’ve never truly admired the achievements of sports stars who are praised every day on TV.

Well, there are such talented people in the world.

That would be nice. I’ve only heard light emotions like that, so I’ve never been a fan of anyone until I was a college student.

So today was the day when Ahn Yoon-seung finally understood the meaning of this word.

‘This is ridiculous… … .’

Awe.

When you encounter an overwhelming presence, a feeling of vague fear goes beyond simple respect.

He was in shock for several minutes.

That would be the case, since Kim Ki-ryeo was able to learn how to use his hidden skills just by seeing them ‘once’.

“─Yoon Seung-ah, that skill is one that must protect not just the front, but all directions.”

How can someone who isn’t even a defense hunter handle the skill better than its owner?

And what’s more, the teaching is so natural, like breathing… … .

Kim Ki-ryeo easily explained how to use the skill as if he was teaching common sense, and watching him do this gave me a brief thrill.

How skilled does that hunter have to be to give such advice?

‘I’ve never heard of a skill that finds problems with skills.’

The only assumption that can be made is that Kim Ki-ryeo is a natural born emotional being and thus possesses some kind of outstanding analytical skill… … .

Ahn Yoon-seung frowned and shook his head.

No, Kim Ki-ryeo is not an awakened person of the analysis series… …!

Even now, when I close my eyes, the image of someone coldly removing the heart of a Class A golem comes to mind.

Isn’t he a hunter with serious fighting skills?

‘You definitely acquired the emotion skill from a commercial item!’

There is no way that Kim Ki-ryeo’s emotional function is particularly excellent.

Even if you buy an expensive, high-quality skill stone, the target of the skill is ultimately the same.

So, in the end, all of this is something that can only be possible with the combination of the other person’s insight, experience, and knowledge.

‘As expected, he was no ordinary person.’

After finishing the calculation, Seung-eun unconsciously clenched his fist.

The feeling I was feeling at this moment was one of inexcusable awe.

but…….

“Ahn Yoon-seung, what do you think? Are you getting the hang of it now?”

Amidst this awe, a feeling slowly rose, and Ahn Yoon-seung soon hardened his expression.

“Oh, brother. That’s it.”

It’s embarrassing.

What could be more embarrassing than this?

“I’m trying to get the feel of it, but… I don’t think I’m doing very well yet.”

Now that I think about it, I forgot about Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo because he often shows his easygoing side.

Kim Ki-ryeo was originally an Awakened being with skills that could not be measured.

It means sky above the sky.

Even Seon Woo-yeon said that the incident that happened yesterday was likely caused by him being kidnapped on purpose to wipe out a criminal organization.

‘phew.’

But on the other hand, he is a worthless person who can’t even use a single skill properly.

How pathetic this must look to someone as capable as Kim Ki-ryeo.

“I’m sorry! You’ve spent so much time teaching me. I’ll make sure to perfect it as quickly as possible, hyung!”

But a little later.

Ahn Yoon-seung realized that his thoughts were narrow-minded.

“Yoon Seung-ah, please don’t rush.”

“yes?”

The man with three hundred eyes rolled his eyes for a moment and then said this.

“If today doesn’t work out, we can continue next time. You’re not going to return to your hunter activities right away, so why are you so impatient?”

“but.”

“I’ll see you again tomorrow. And you can write as much as you want the day after tomorrow.”

Dry voice.

Eyes that don’t show any emotion.

“I’m an F-class so I have a lot of time.”

Kim Ki-ryeo’s attitude was not much different from usual.

So I could tell that he was respecting me, as usual.

“Brother Giryo… … .”

Ahn Yoon-seung was speechless for a moment due to overwhelming gratitude.

He readily shares his know-how with hunters who have lost confidence.

In the midst of all this, he even told such an obvious lie because he was afraid that the other person would feel burdened by his kindness.

I felt this way from the moment I first met him, but Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo is truly a rare and great person.

“Is there anything you want from me? Is there anything you need?”

At that moment, Ahn Yoon-seung felt like he wanted to repay the favor somehow. So he spoke while fidgeting.

“Me, me? What do I want from you? There’s nothing like that.”

But I knew this kind of answer would come back.

‘Because he is a person without any selfish desires.’

The question must have sounded so absurd that he was so shocked that he even stammered.

Kim Ki-ryeo was not the type of person to be dazzled by a few pennies like many people in modern society.

This ascetic aspect is a trait worth emulating.

It is a situation that can be a significant obstacle when trying to repay a favor.

“Phew.”

When I first awakened to A-class, I thought I would be able to do anything.

I never thought I’d be unable to properly thank you again.

‘There’s nothing I can do. For the time being, I’ll train diligently and build up my strength. And I’ll definitely be of help to you someday.’

Ahn Yoon-seung took a deep breath after making his pledge.

When he raised his head again, his gaze was no longer wavering.

“Okay! Then, I’ll stop here today without pushing myself as you said.”

To add,

This incident became the opportunity for Ahn Yoon-seung’s evaluation of Gi-ryeo to soar through the roof.

That is, it was at this exact moment that the brakes of the runaway locomotive broke.

***

Why, why, why are you suddenly asking something like that?

Do you have any wishes for yourself?

Have you figured out my plan?

“Me, me? What do I want from you? There, there, there’s nothing like that.”

I trembled and tried hard to deny Ahn Yoon-seung’s questions.

Bad thoughts kept coming into my head.

‘Someone like me, a F-class, would look like a bug to Yoon Seung! If he finds out that I was using him to make money… … .’

My spine feels chilled.

If this continues, I’ll get dehydrated from the cold sweat.

“Oh, right. Yoon Seung-ah, aren’t you hungry? Come on, let’s quickly catch the boss, close the gate, and go out.”

I hurriedly finished my schedule, pushing Seung-yoon’s back as he said he was fine.

As expected, the A-class Hunter paid little attention to the D-class debris on the ground until he exited through the gate, so the crime went undetected.

‘Surely you won’t even bother to turn over a single magic stone until the end?’

Maybe the remains of a D-class monster felt like a 10 won coin on the side of the road to Ahn Yoon-seung.

‘At this level, even if I level up to C or B, there will be something to eat?’

Yahoo!

I smiled spiritually as I imagined how much I could get for selling today’s loot.

In my imagination, I was already a tycoon with a palace-like house and about 100 servants.

“uh?”

But, while I was making plans for the future like this.

An Yoon-seung, who came out of the gate, stopped dead in his tracks when he saw someone standing at the exit.

“That person is… … .”

“Hello. Hunter Ahn Yoon-seung. You’re coming out quite late, aren’t you? You’re only a D-rank.”

High frequency voice.

A thick file in his hand. A suit buttoned up all the way.

If you just look at it this way, you might think it’s just an ordinary Hunter Association employee. But no matter how I look at it, it looks like the person I met yesterday.

That long black hair that falls to her waist is a feature that is hard to forget.

“Huh? Hello, Seonwooyeon?”

A B-class awakener.

Seonwooyeon welcomes us.

“Mr. Kiryeo, how are you greeting people so well in this situation?”

But I think you’re in a bit of a bad mood…

‘What’s going on that’s why?’

I thought maybe I was just feeling bad because I texted him in the early morning yesterday, but the actual problem was more serious than that.

“I came here today to deliver a message to Mr. Yoon Seung. I never thought I would see such an illegal gate entrance right before my eyes.”

“…!”

“Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo. You’re an F-class. But why are you here?”

Entry to gate not appropriate for rank.

Because this was an obvious taboo.

“Oh, that’s it. Brother.”

“I entered as a transporter. Yunseung is working as a porter.”

I started to explain in a hurry, but it didn’t make any sense.

“Are you talking about that now? How much can fit in the bag you’re carrying? You’re just complaining to the porter.”

Seon Woo-yeon frowns as if telling him not to make excuses.

“Hunter Ahn Yoon-seung, you too. If you continue to engage in illegal activities like this, you will be in trouble.”

“Hmm.”

“This time, I’ll end it with a warning, so from now on, never let an F-rank hunter into the upper gate.”

Wait a minute. Things are getting a little weird.

I immediately contradicted her.

“Wait a minute, Seonwooyeon. Illegal position? I didn’t break the law.”

“yes?”

“So, in the association regulations… … .”

But Seon Woo-yeon seemed to have already anticipated this. He hardened his expression and nodded.

“There are no restrictions on the entry of carriers. But this is to make it easier for them to do their jobs, not to allow people like you to cheat.”

Somehow, as the conversation progressed, Seonwooyeon seemed to look at me with increasing contempt.

It must be my imagination.

“Why don’t you know that your attitude of ignoring the grade restrictions only fuels more suspicion… … ?”

“yes?”

“It is said that ordinary F-class people follow the rules even if it means risking their own lives.”

Seon Woo-yeon looked at Ahn Yoon-seung, who was frozen solid, as if he was resentful, and then let go of his grudge.

“You might be thinking, ‘What do you care about me? It’s my life anyway.’ But what’s important is the record.”

“… .”

“In case an accident occurs inside the gate. The attacker’s personal information must not be tampered with… … .”

By the time the cold voice reached my ears, there was no room for excuses. It was a one-sided argument.

“Please, I ask for your cooperation with the association.”

The rank of that awakened person is B.

It’s just that we’ve been so comfortable with Ahn Yoon-seung that it hasn’t been obvious until now.

In fact, even the B-class monsters were monsters that could tear apart a lion living in the savannah with their bare hands, so there was no point in needlessly provoking them.

“Yes, I understand.”

Wake up. I just lowered my tail.

“Gi, Gi-ryeo, there was nothing wrong! I was the one who asked you for help… … .”

“Hunter Ahn Yoon-seung, please follow me for a moment. I have something to convey regarding the change of the dungeon break response area.”

Poor guy.

Even though Ahn Yoon-seung was a class A hunter, he was dragged away by Seon Woo-yeon without being able to say anything.

I waved my hand to Yun Seung and was lost in thought.

Oh, I guess I’ll have to revise my money-making plan.

‘I can’t help it.’

But that’s okay.

I’ve already thought of a choice for this one too.
