It’s a personal reputation and a big deal. A South Korean hunter made a bold move to go to a neighboring country.
Then the mammals gathered there showed a common reaction.
‘Are you crazy?’
These are facial expressions that really show what they are thinking.
But there were some suspicious clues that made it difficult to dismiss someone’s naturalization remarks as mere provocation, and soon an odd silence fell over the room.
“Why does everyone look at me like that?”
Even if I ask again, the surroundings are still quiet.
Black pupils that float around like the eyes of a dead fish.
If I evaluate it objectively, I am currently looking at the other person with such elements under my thick eyelids.
I wonder if this will make them feel good.
I don’t know much about the physiognomy of the Earth yet, but I have learned this one thing from my experience.
If a dark-skinned man is sitting with his eyes wide open like this, ordinary people won’t be able to readily push forward with their opinions.
And fortunately, the atmosphere that followed was as expected.
‘I can see that his eyes are completely blank. That guy really does what he says and more… … .’
‘No matter how I look at it, it seems sincere.’
If these thoughts had crossed their minds, everything would have gone well.
After completing my planned actions, I slightly changed my posture one last time.
I thought this point of useless war of nerves would be over, so I sat back comfortably and focused.
***
And then some more time passed.
-… … .
In fact, the sudden danger to the aliens ended in an instant.
To those who don’t know, it may seem absurd at first glance.
But just because the incident ended blandly doesn’t mean it was an easy achievement.
This result is a combination of someone’s basic intuition and careful prior research.
– Wait a minute. I’m not sure if I heard you correctly. Are you saying that Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo made the naturalization remarks before the interrogation even started?
“yes!”
Again, I took the initiative by dropping a bombshell on them: ‘If you give them a disadvantage in this matter, I will join another country.’
So what can the indigenous people of the Earth do?
Even to this moment, I still do not know what intentions the specific powers that had summoned me had and what means they had for getting there.
‘No matter how much magic power I regain, I can’t open my head every time I’m curious about other people’s thoughts.’
But if the hunter in front of him had abandoned his nationality and was mentioning each and every person who had touched him, and there was a possibility that he might fall, then nothing else mattered after that.
Because they couldn’t even attempt the slightest negotiation.
Besides, I thought this kind of intimidation was actually a very peaceful choice.
“I told you not to worry. I was just going to talk about it from the beginning.”
Not a fraud who pretends to be S-class, but a real SS-class superhuman.
Who in the world would want to physically fight something like that?
“Of course, there will be side effects if you use it at any time, but since you moved for a greater cause in the last dungeon, it will be okay once.”
But seeing as how the tension was relieved much more easily than I had worried, I wonder if maybe they didn’t intend to push others too hard from the beginning.
The main reason for the opposing party’s pressure attempt, as predicted, was that a foreigner was involved in the incident.
‘It would be easier for negotiations between the two countries if the Koreans had even a little bit of fault, rather than Enzo being completely unilaterally at fault. If I were to interpret it from an insurance perspective, I think they would have wanted to find out if the victim had made a mistake.’
But no matter how powerful a country may be, Kim Ki-ryeo’s body is ultimately Korean.
However, it is questionable whether everyone felt comfortable with the act of picking on someone of the same nationality or affiliation as them.
Perhaps some of them thought it was a good thing that they finally had an excuse to turn a blind eye.
‘At least one or two people there noticed.’
Anyway, I’m glad that this incident was acknowledged as self-defense.
It was at this time.
Suddenly a woman’s voice was heard on the other end of the phone.
-Not anyone else… … .
A distinctively fair tone.
It’s Seonwooyeon.
-Kim Ki-ryeo, Hunter, you came up with the idea of using the nationality change as a weapon… … .
At first, I think she wanted to make sure I wasn’t under arrest with this call.
As the conversation progressed, Seon Woo-yeon began to have some questions.
‘Should we try it out?’
I guess her curiosity is probably around the topic of ‘How on earth did that being, an alien, select elements that would make Earthlings react so well?’
After thinking about it, I happily answered even though the other person didn’t ask me directly.
“You noticed. First of all, I could infer that the immigration of an S-class Hunter would not be welcomed warmly, as it was related to military power.”
-… … .
“If you’re going to threaten someone, it’s better to do it more effectively, so I asked for the names of the people there. Of course, it’s a welcome thing to have strong soldiers in the country, but whether the weapons are in your hands is another matter, so there are often people like Ko Byeong-do who aren’t particularly afraid of threats to defect.”
-… …
“Oh, but I thought this might not be enough, so I added some parts personally… … .”
By the way, now that I think about it, this is truly a blessing in disguise.
“I think people here are more concerned about each other in neighboring regions. That’s why I chose China and Japan as examples of naturalized countries.”
It’s been almost a year since I first set foot in the world of these mammals.

In the beginning, he lived a life of groaning, eating sweet red bean buns as a side effect of his magic. Who would have thought that such a person would now have enough leisure to study the social structure of other people’s world?
“By the way, Mr. Seonwooyeon, what do you think the comments I made there made you feel?”
I waited for a moment, my ear tilted toward the receiver.
Then, a little while later.
A B-class hunter answered in a tired voice.
To be precise, it was the assessment of the natives of this planet.
-… The expression used by Kim Ki-ryeo is more mentally burdensome than a simple naturalization declaration… … .
“Right?”
-Besides, now that I think about it, it seems like they memorized names like Nakamura and Chiwaini from the beginning with the intention of attacking people… … .
Hunter Association staff.
Seonwooyeon thought over each action one by one and then closed his mouth.
It was obvious why the other person was at a loss for words.
She is not a native Korean, and she cannot help but feel complicated about the fact that an alien from that distant universe would use such a vicious method.
-How did you come to understand such differences in national positions?
Is there anything else I need to explain about this?
Unless you are an exceptional genius.
Ultimately, the secret to most success is consistent effort and interest.
“In fact, it is the same no matter where you are, I am more interested in friends across the border than in stories from distant countries.”
I picked up my phone and started talking.
“Of course, from the perspective of someone who has lived in a slightly ‘bigger’ country, the whole of East Asia seems to be relatively close both genetically and geographically.”
-Hmm.
“If I lump you all together and say that you’re all the same race, I feel like I’m going to make Koreans, Chinese, and Japanese people angry at the same time. I’ll try to change my mind as quickly as possible.”
I believe this sufficiently explains the case for recognition of self-defense.
-thank you?
Well, now that the report of freedom has been completed, I was thinking it would be time to go eat something to eat.
-Oh, just a moment.
I was just about to hang up the phone.
Seon Woo-yeon spoke urgently on the other end of the phone.
– First of all, congratulations on the resolution of this matter. But I heard that there was also talk about [The Book of Destruction] in the testimony hearing. Is there anything related to this…?
Ah, [Book of Destruction].
Of course, I had heard the name of that item.
But this one doesn’t really have anything to explain.
“That?”
This is because the artifact in question has eventually become something that neither I, the government agency, nor its original owner can touch.
‘That’s too bad.’
If the person who executed a criminal had the right to take the victim’s belongings, modern society would have entered an era of unprecedented bounty hunting.
Modern courts have many fences built in from the beginning to prevent such chaos from occurring.
‘But, it’s a hassle anyway.’
This means that once I killed Enzo, it was impossible for me to obtain the loot.
But let’s try to rob it by using separate force.
Anyway, [Book of Destruction] is just a simple storage device. In order to use the recorded magic, the user had to apply their magical power.
Besides, if the magic used on something that roams around like that is that great, then how great would it be?
Since it is full of ‘cheap’ magic for the purpose of public announcement, honestly, if you know how to create a spell with your own head, it is more efficient to cast the magic yourself than to use [Book of Destruction].
“Let me tell you something. I heard that the US side claimed that the Book of Destruction was stolen, and that there will be various investigations related to this in the future… … .”
So I had little interest in that item.
“I have no intention of getting involved in such an international conflict. It’s annoying and I have other things to do. That’s why I told you not to contact me about items.”
So I finished most of my reporting on the Beast incident.
-Yes. [Book of Destruction] Disposal will probably be okay. Thanks to Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo, we won’t be threatened by such a book again anyway.
But just like what I heard.
It’s a bit odd to dismiss someone’s second awakening as a blessing.
-I’ll say it again, thank you so much for last time. Koreans… … . If you think about it, it’s not really your problem. But you always step forward to help… … .
“yes.”
I ended the call right away without adding anything.
It’s pitiful to see them looking so at ease, but those Earthlings probably don’t know anything about it.
‘That’s true. We actually have a very distant relationship.’
Perhaps Korea is the safest country in the world, but it is also the most dangerous place.
Because this is the moment the grading is finished.
Because I planned to apply the results from where I usually stay.
***
The next day came shortly after.
“Hwaaam.”
Finally, after getting my lungs stitched up, I had rested for over 30 hours straight.
‘It feels refreshing!’
That meant that you no longer had to be nervous or reserved about using magic.
So, as soon as I got up from my seat, I finalized my schedule for today.
[plan]
1. Investigate the bodies of Enzo Ciano and his gang.
2. Buy a fast charger on your way here.
For your information, I negotiated the body examination in advance with the logic that I absolutely had to see with my own eyes whether the person I killed was really that famous hunter.
… It seems like there is a sentence in the middle that doesn’t meet the standards. There’s nothing we can do about that part.
According to what I confirmed yesterday, this VIP ward’s menu for dinner tonight is Samgyetang.
‘Ha, I should be discharged from the hospital with about a day to spare. Honestly, once I get out of here, where on earth would I ever get to eat the hospital’s samgyetang?’
My body is completely healed.
In fact, on one side of the hospital room, the carrier that Jeong Ha-seong had brought was already set up.
That is, even though I had already retrieved all my luggage that I had left at someone else’s house as a guest, I ended up deciding to spend one more day at the hospital due to some somewhat routine greed.
So I wanted to buy a good charger that I could use conveniently while living here.
‘I shouldn’t be lazy. I should just leave as soon as I finish my morning rounds.’
But then, when I tried to go out according to this series of plans.
‘hmm?’
An unexpected magical power flowed from in front of the hospital room.
‘what?’
This is a magical power that should not normally be encountered at this time.
But no matter how many times I checked, it still seemed like it was him I knew, so I looked over the wall for a long time before making a decision.
‘This is Ahn Yoon-seung.’
Let’s go out and pretend to know him first.
‘I can now hold back the momentum from escaping from my body. Let’s approach like an assassin and surprise him a little.’
I also wanted to play a prank to celebrate the return of my magical power control ability.
‘This guy~ Unlike me, he’s a member of a guild. He doesn’t even go to work. What is he doing here… ?’
But what I encountered outside after sneaking out so stealthily was a sight I could never have imagined.
“uh.”
A quiet hallway.
There is someone standing on the floor that is currently extremely quiet because I am the only VIP hospitalized.
‘What is it? Did he come to the hospital because he was sick somewhere?’
To cut to the chase, the skinhead hunter was currently covering his mouth with his fist and sobbing in a silent manner.
