The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 299

Episode 299. New Equipment (2)

A few hours later.

A workshop of the old type.

“Okay……”

In a large, brightly lit room, someone’s tired voice flows out.

“Okay.”

These were just a few words from the worker, Seohyung Gu.

This is because the D-class enchanter went on a forced march for a full 5 hours after receiving a request from an acquaintance.

[Fragments of the Night] Before starting processing.

There were two demands that Kiria made.

① I brought this soft black fabric, use it as the main material for the gloves, but ② please do not expose the fabric on the outside.

So, Gu Seo-hyung decided to use [Fragments of the Midnight] as the lining and cover the outside with the leather of a Grade A demon unicorn, which has recently been well-received in the hunter fashion industry.

“I’m dying… Should I get dyed leather that’s not even in my fortune, or call people…?”

There were quite a few difficulties along the way, though.

“Crazy. It took a whole day to make just one pair of gloves……”

Seohyung caught his breath belatedly as he cleaned up the messy workroom.

But the reason this side had a hard time was not because they actually produced the items themselves.

The moment when I felt that my abilities were not recognized by my middle school classmates (or, more precisely, the shell of them).

Of course, at one point I was so angry that I even thought about making gloves myself.

If it’s fabric that a Korean S-class hunter personally takes and asks to be made, it’s not necessarily cheap.

But the only gloves I’ve ever made in my life are the ones I made with yarn for Christmas to kill time while waiting for a photo shoot.

Seohyung made realistic decisions faster than anyone else.

‘Oh, this won’t work. This is something I need to call someone else to handle.’

So we were able to process expensive raw materials without damaging even a single strand.

Anyway, the process ended well thanks to the professional item crafter she hired.

“Ki, Kim Ki-ryeo. Do you know the face of the person who just came by? He appears on TV a lot. Anyway, he’s one of the top 1 or 2 awakening craftsmen in our country, so if I have to ask you a favor, I’ll find someone like that and──”

Seohyung secretly bragged.

I wanted to show him what kind of position I had in the industry and how many great people I had contacted through this job.

“That. I was interested in the workshop business at one time. So when that person came to the association for a short while, I asked that craftsman a few questions and we became close. If you want, I’ll introduce him to you later.”

But contrary to Seo-hyung’s intention.

The listening alien simply focused on other elements of the situation.

“I’m glad you seem satisfied with your job.”

There is a bit of a psychological distance in the other person’s reaction, which seems to be a joy to be recognized for one’s labor.

‘No matter how much money you give them, how can a living thing gain vitality from labor?’

Anyway, it seems like the Earthling who once jumped off a rooftop is now living happily with a smile every day.

That’s a good thing.

The idle thoughts didn’t last long.

He then turned his gaze to the gloves that the two craftsmen had worked so hard to complete, placed on the workbench.

A leather accessory with a slight sheen made from the skin of a monster called a unicorn.

“oh.”

I definitely measured the dimensions of my hand and started working on it.

Besides, there was a mistake before the sewing, so there’s nothing to worry about.

“How is the fit?”

I want to hold the finished product in my hand.

And he evaluated his own fists, clenched and unclenched, encased in leather gloves.

“good.”

Complete customer satisfaction, without even the slightest modification.

With this, the Archmage’s new equipment is finally complete.

If you were to line a PIXY analyzer, it would look something like this.

【Earth-style gloves】

[Rating: ? ? ?]

An artifact whose structure cannot be grasped by any emotional expert.

A feast of true miracles built on the knowledge of Earthlings.

The wearer thinks to himself as the seemingly sturdy, mammalian accessory settles into his hand.

‘Not bad!’

The black cloth he bought in Japan was actually drawing paper that was very compatible with a specific type of magic, as one Alphauri had explained.

If you properly face the shape, it is a black cloth that absorbs the finished technique and the end like a sponge.

So then, what is this magic of compatibility, this thousand-year companion?

‘The feel is also pretty good!’

Fragments of the night.

This is actually a highly volatile information storage device that was quite rare even in Alphauri.

In other words, the miracle that goes especially well with that piece of paper is… … .

‘Magic Memory!’

The uses of the item are finally revealed.

The true power of the Night’s Fragment is revealed when it is wielded in such a way.

This fabric, which resembles the hem of the night sky, is embroidered with the Alphauri style, and surprisingly, it allows any weakling to easily cast magic.

‘Come to think of it, there is similar magic on Earth. The only problem is that such technology is not real… it only exists in games?’

The function of this technology is magical storage and output!

From now on, any skill of an opponent that touches this glove will be nullified.

It was even possible to spit out the power swallowed in the process within 20 hours.

‘Goal achieved!’

After a certain period of time, what you saved will disappear.

You can only hold one magic item at a time.

If you repeat this process in too short a period of time, the magic circle as big as your palm (this is not a metaphor, it’s real) will become corrupted, so you need to leave an interval similar to 20 hours, etc.

‘It was too small after all… … .’

Although it came with several limitations due to the extremely limited width of the fabric discovered on Earth, it was still a windfall.

For the first time in a while, he opened and closed his hands, which were wearing gloves.

First of all, the so-called Memory technique that he delicately carved into himself would be completely incomprehensible to Earthlings.

[Fragment of the Midnight] The fabric itself may be recognizable to some, so he used it as lining.

But it doesn’t matter because the functions are still usable.

‘Even on Earth, there have been attempts to cover items and hide the original names of equipment since the beginning of this year. It seems like a new substance has been discovered that is difficult for appraisers to see through… ‘

I went to a nearby glass window to get a closer look at how the finished gloves would look on my hands.

But it was at that time that he was looking at his hand through the window as a mirror.

The person named Gu Seo-hyung from behind made a somewhat familiar assessment.

“Hey. But you… When I look at you dressed like that, you really look like actors, just like they say on the internet.”

actor.

I’m sure I’ve heard this sentence before…

“hmm?”

Rather, is it true that you are a former child actor and would say something like that to someone else?

Suddenly, I became curious and asked, “What on earth did you just say?”

At this, Gu Seo-hyung adjusted his round glasses and answered calmly.

“What do you mean by ‘I look like an actor’? It’s a compliment.”

“compliment?”

Does that mean it wasn’t a high-level swear word meaning that you’d be good at acting?

“Which actor exactly do you resemble?”

“Oh, it seems like you rarely look up your name on the Internet?”

However, the alien’s feelings of relief became complicated again after Seo-hyung’s subsequent explanation.

“You’re kind of along those lines. Why, actor Woo○○, who recently appeared on Netflix as a Chinese organ trafficker…”

“Who is Woo○○?”

“Oh, you don’t know? Then what about senior Park ○○? He even won an award for his role as a loan shark in a drama last year……”

“Who is Park ○○?”

“What? You don’t know him? Then you know the character name Lee Chang, don’t you? He’s set up as a gangster, but anyway, movies starring Lee Chang were made to the tune of tens of millions.”

“Yes, Lee Chang. Fortunately, this time, the word escaped my amnesia. But I’m sorry, but why do all the roles just listed look like that?”

What does it mean?

The alien wizard has difficulty adapting to Earthly expressions and expresses doubts for a while.

“Ah~ Don’t misunderstand. This doesn’t mean that you have a bad impression… How should I explain it? I just felt like I was conveying it.”

“Huh? I hadn’t even thought about it, but the first thing that came to mind was that you had a bad impression?”

“omg.”

But there was no time to sit around blankly.

The emotional therapist in front of me quickly changed the topic of conversation.

“Ah, anyway. Anyway, that’s it! Hey, I finished making the gloves, so let’s go now.”

“Am I scared of your face too?”

“Why are you still nagging at the person who gave me the unicorn hide for free, including the finishing enchantment? I’m hungry, so let’s go eat quickly!”

Kim Ki-ryeo started walking without thinking much about Seo-hyung’s urging actions.

And during this process, I double-checked that the gloves fit me well.

Men’s leather gloves with button closure at the wrist.

It’s uncomfortable to wrap your body’s extremities in something, but if you can muster the strength… … .

“uh?”

That was when.

Whoosh.

Before leaving the workshop, Seohyung Koo, who was checking the security system, turns around.

She was about to ask Kiria about the menu, but changed her words in surprise at what was before her eyes.

“Wait a minute. Your nose is bleeding.”

Gulp.

Because some hunter is currently having a minor nosebleed.

But the person whose name was called simply washed it off quietly in a nearby bathroom.

“It’s okay. I guess I was just a little tired this week.”

After all, just a few hours ago, my entire body was hit by coral’s revenge.

Now, why should we make a fuss over this drop of blood?

***

A peaceful atmosphere.

Beige tone wallpaper.

And an epic air purifying creature placed by the window.

This is the house we finally arrived at.

To be clear up front, I wasn’t talking about the state-of-the-art luxury apartment where Jeong Ha-seong lives.

“phew!”

Because this was a newly built one-room apartment of about 8 pyeong, similar to the old one.

‘Anyway, just taking care of my body every time is really no easy task.’

I was currently away from the temporary residence provided by the number one ranking member due to some circumstances.

Why should we inform Earthlings that [the Sacred Tree Sapling] poses such a terrible danger?

‘Of course, you have to be careful when the protective magic’s incubation period ends.’

Besides, it doesn’t have to be for this reason.

Because in the apartment complex that Jeong Ha-seong’s eyes reach, there are many restrictions on his actions.

The fundamental duty of a magician.

In order to continue my research, I needed to create a private, secret place.

So, as soon as I got back from Japan, I made all sorts of excuses to Jeong Ha-seong to get out of there.

‘Before buying a really big and nice house, I also needed to experience the residential transaction on Earth.’

A monthly rent of just over 500,000 won.

Besides, I’m only going to have simple fantasies here so that I can immediately erase any traces no matter what happens.

‘Honestly, if you don’t install something like an infinite power core, the space maintenance cost is… well… ‘

It’s perfect.

This would be more than enough for a temporary hideout.

So I looked around my newly acquired personal space with satisfaction.

‘The portable bathtub is well laid out.’

But the things I have planned to accomplish in this studio apartment in the future… If I go through them one by one, there are a lot of things that seem quite familiar…

[To do]

●Collection of solid-type apparent grade manipulation agent materials

● Compensation for the cost of books borrowed from the city library

In an instant, the corners of the mouth turn downward.

As you can see from the schedule,

Yes. In fact, inside someone’s collapsed studio apartment, there were all the research items that the scholar had not been able to put into his item box.

But those things sank into the barrier without even Kang Chang-ho seeing their faces.

Eventually, a situation arises where you suddenly have to get all the materials from scratch.

“Kang Chang-ho, you son of a bitch……”

I followed my instincts and started swearing, but then I quickly got over my feelings.

“Oh, this is not the time.”

Time is gold.

In that case, it is better to prepare for the future rather than reminisce about the past.

“Let’s see, it’s definitely in this item box…”

Now, I have a new piece of equipment using 100 billion won worth of fabric, and most importantly, I am free from the contract of improvement, which was the biggest obstacle to my retirement plan.

But even in this situation, it was still too early to run away to the countryside.

The arrival of the spirit body is too fast.

In order to survive in this irregular world, you must first and foremost complete your research on that major topic as quickly as possible.

●Find out how to stimulate Kim Ki-ryeo’s magical power growth talent.

At this point, there is some good news.

In order to study the awakening-related talents of the occupied body, it was necessary to measure the amount of magical power in the body that changed day by day.

‘I also need to draw some graphs.’

I just got a great tool for this measurement from Japan a few hours ago!

Well, well, I guess they sell a potion at the Tokyo fair that can measure magic power fairly accurately without the help of a pixie machine.

The price is about 800,000 won per session, which is twice as expensive as a general measuring device.

I also have to get my blood drawn every time I take a measurement.

There is also the disadvantage that it is too easily affected by the flow of magical power from surrounding items for use by organizations such as the Hunter Association.

‘If I list these, it will never end?’

Above all, the magical power of ordinary Awakened people rarely fluctuates.

‘He even packed the test tubes as a thank you for buying so much. Phew. It must have been really hard to get them all here without breaking them.’

But this garbage reagent that looks less efficient than a machine no matter where you look is a savior to me.

Well then, while we’re on the subject, should we try it again right away?

‘In Japan, I couldn’t even experience it on site because I was afraid that my F-class status would be revealed to the world… … .’

haha.

If you compare it to the machine later and get different results, call a lawyer and sue the seller right away.

With that in mind, I put the supplies into a thin glass tube.

Translucent crystals in a variety of colours.

Pure water.

And 2ml of the sorcerer’s blood.

I put everything in and gently shook the tube, and the water turned blue.

After seeing this, I thought nothing of it and just dropped a few drops of the finished liquid into the hole of the portable measuring device, following the Korean instructions that Japan had given me.

[ Measuring . . . ]

But a few seconds later.

-Beep.

“uh?”

The display on this horsepower meter I bought in Japan showed a very unexpected number.
