Episode 42. Guild Scout (3)
“Anyway, I’ll let you know the results of the emotion.”
When everyone was frozen in surprise.
Kim Ki-ryeo started doing his job.
“But does this really mean anything? Your research is correct.”
“yes?”
“This is just a sword that becomes more powerful the more magic it absorbs. That’s all.”
There are no hidden conditions or abilities.
When he revealed this, Kwak Byeong-gi was embarrassed.
“No, then how should I use the sword? Even an A-class hunter fell in an instant.”
Kiryun replied to this.
“You have to hold on.”
“Are you holding on?”
“Just endure it, right? Don’t let the sword suck up more mana than necessary.”
Kwak Byeong-gi opened his mouth wide.
Just bear with it.
This is just some unscrupulous nonsense that only geniuses would say.
“hmm?”
When they all fell silent, Kiriyodo read the mood and his face became serious.
“Surely the people here… can’t that be…?”
This sentence sounded like this to Kwak Byeong-gi.
– Are the two major guilds in Korea really this bad?
A chill ran down my spine.
The reason he enticed Kim Ki-ryeo with a request was to show off the power of the Magic Tower and let people know that there is no other guild as good as this one.
The items that litter this analysis room were also part of the plan.
If you are an appraiser, there is no way you wouldn’t know the value of these items.
I thought he would feel something when he saw the high-level equipment that was hard to obtain even in a small guild.
“Oh, no. That’s it.”
But if we continue like this, we will end up being nothing but failures rather than being the best in the industry.
Kwak Byeong-gi quickly took control of the situation.
“I’m not going to give it to the cursed black main attackers. I’m going to give it to the hunters of the reserve three teams.”
“is it so?”
“Haha. Since we have a lot of new members in the team, we still seem immature.”
Kirin nodded slightly, as if he understood the situation.
“It seems that there are few Awakened beings trained enough to handle this.”
He muttered, briefly searching his memory.
“Among the people I know… … Kang Chang-ho? Hmm, yeah. I think someone at Kang Chang-ho’s level could write without difficulty.”
Of all the Earthlings I’ve met, the one who handled magic in the most detail.
Kiryun absentmindedly mentioned the person’s name.
This was just an example to show that this level of control is necessary to handle this sword.
“Are you Kang Chang-ho?”
But this sentence had a completely different meaning to Kwak Byeong-gi.
‘You need to be at least an S-class hunter to handle a sword. So that means you’re approaching that S-class too?’
Because Kwak Byeong-gi thought that the other person’s remarks were referring to Kang Chang-ho’s awakening level itself.
‘What on earth did you do to make an S-class person act like a normal person?!’
Kwak Byeong-gi is a person who is thorough in managing his physical strength.
So, even in middle age, my body is still in such good shape.
Kim Ki-ryeo, on the other hand, has a slim silhouette that doesn’t look very healthy…
Ironically, when they fought each other, it was Gwak Byeong-gi who ended up shedding blood.
‘It doesn’t seem to have any magical power at all.’
When I think about hidden awakening values.
That guy could probably break a human skull like an eggshell.
“Manager Kwak Byeong-gi, why are you doing that?”
He suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
It felt like a beast in human skin, and my body froze for a moment.
“Uh, uh, that’s… … .”
But at that time.
Boom! The white door to the analysis room burst open with a loud noise.
At the same time, Kwak Byeong-gi became cheerful.
Because when that person is there, no awakened person needs to be afraid.
“Representative!”
“What, why are you welcoming me so much today?”
A true S-class hunter!
Esther greets me with a big smile.
“Hello! I heard that Mr. Kiryo was visiting, so I came for a moment.”
The man with three hundred eyes, whose eyes were not bright, looked back at her calmly.

‘Hey~ If you make a mistake from now on, it’s X~’
No, why didn’t you just go and do some work? Why did you come out?
Esther suddenly appears and I don’t know what to do.
Should I say hello first?
“Nice to meet you.”
“How are you? Is work going well?”
“I just finished.”
“Oh, I see. Let me hear the results!”
These are the words of the sorcerer, so of course you have to follow them.
I immediately released the information on the magic tool.
Then Esther nodded and smiled with satisfaction.
“There’s no particular hidden danger, right?”
Whoosh-.
Esther lightly picked up the magic sword lying next to her.
“I didn’t touch it for a while because I thought there might be some great secret.”
As expected, when you reach S-rank, you can withstand mana drain well.
I watched Esther turn the knife without thinking much about it, but somehow the reactions of the staff around me were strange.
‘what?’
The employees were looking at me with faces that seemed extremely scared.
I wonder if the representative is worried that he might cut his hand while playing with the sword?
“Esther Hunter, I’d like to do one last check before we finish. Could you pass the sword over here?”
“Okay~”
Esther obediently handed over the magic sword.
However, even after retrieving the dangerous sword, the staff were still shocked.
Rather, it seemed like his face was even more surprised than before.
No, what the hell do you want me to do?
‘Ah, that’s enough.’
These are people who will only see each other once anyway.
I’d rather be working than worrying about something like that. I silently rechecked my magic tools.
“Mr. Kiryeo! Do you like that sword?”
“yes?”
But at this moment.
Esther came closer and whispered.
“There’s probably no one in our guild who really needs it anyway, so if you just say so, I can just give it to you.”
My head tilts involuntarily.
First of all, I don’t want to receive favors from a sorcerer without permission.
Above all, it wasn’t a particularly desirable magical tool.
“Well, this is a bit too advanced for me to write… … .”
I put down the black sword I was examining without any hesitation.
This is more than enough equipment for an F-class.
Anyway, my magical power is so small that I can’t even use my abilities.
“Are you saying that it’s too low level for you to write?”
But then, Esther added something unknown.
I just shrugged my shoulders, thinking this was a typical Earthling’s sarcasm.
‘I’d like to win her favor by laughing at her jokes.’
After seeing Seonwooyeon’s cold face, I can’t even think of smiling.
“That’s right.”
Esther narrowed her eyes as she observed my reaction.
And then I slowly tried to say the next words.
-Beep!
-Whoooooooooooo.
A sudden loud noise cut through us.
High decibel alarm sound.
And the vibration sound… … .
‘Disaster message?’
This is something I’ve already experienced once.
I instinctively took out my cell phone from my pocket.
Esther was doing the same thing on the other side.
By the way, did you get a call from them during this time?
“Hello? Oh! Yes, yes. Is the gate over there?”
Esther held the cell phone to her ear, seemingly busy talking to someone, and then delivered some news.
“Anyway, the world won’t leave me alone! A Grade A Red Gate has opened in broad daylight.”
“I’m a Class A, so why am I being contacted directly by the CEO?”
“Because a pair of Red Gates have appeared!”
Oh, that’s true. Now that I look at it, there are two warning messages instead of one.
“Two Class A bodies at the same time?”
There was no time to even add words.
Immediately after that, the staff at Korea Tower started to get busy.
“Mr. Kiryeo, I’m sorry about this. I was planning on having a cup of coffee with you today, but something came up.”
“It’s okay. Things like coffee… … .”
But wait a minute.
“Ah, that’s right. There will be a lot of loot since there are multiple gates. Can two people from the analysis team follow along?”
“Yes, sir.”
No matter how I look at it, it seems like a story about an S-class hunter personally going to the scene.
I spoke to Esther, who was preparing to go out.
“Excuse me, but can I follow you?”
“yes?”
“If you take me with you, I can help you with things like classifying the magic stones.”
It’s a rather unexpected request.
“I don’t really care, but what are you going to do when you get there?”
Esther asked with a look of pure curiosity.
It wasn’t a grand reason, so a word or two was enough to explain it.
“I want to see your fight in person. I’ve always been curious about the S-class curse skills.”
To put it simply, let’s take a look at the skills.
Honestly, I wanted to analyze what differences there would be between Earth and Alpha Uri’s curse magic.
“Since Ms. Esther has so much magical power, she must be exceptionally capable, right?”
Let’s take advantage of the opportunity to flatter him a little.
Then the other person will feel excited and will easily accept your request.
“Haha… Thank you for your words. Then, let’s go together by car.”
As expected.
Esther responded with a smile and readily agreed to my company.
‘That statement just now definitely earned me points!’
As expected, when dealing with curses, there is nothing but praise.
Right. Let’s keep going like this.
Then, you will be able to maintain a good relationship with the fearsome S-class cursed person.
I left the building with hopeful plans for the future.
***
Bruise, bruise, bruise.
‘Kim Ki-ryeo, this kid… … .’
The white hallway of the tower.
Esther, who was walking at the front of the procession, ground her teeth out of sight.
‘I fed the person water and fell asleep!’
What? Are you curious about the S-class curse power?
When someone who nullified a skill you activated right in front of your eyes says something like that, it can only be interpreted with a completely different meaning.
-Let’s see how well you fight with skills that can’t even touch the tip of my hair.
This is probably a declaration of war in that sense.
If you think about it that way, the following remarks can also be interpreted naturally.
-Ms. Esther, you have so much magical power, so you must have outstanding abilities… …?
This is a complete mockery!
Esther twisted the corners of her mouth with some sort of conviction.
An S-class gem, chosen among the awakened ones.
But I never thought there would be a man who would look down on them without even changing his expression.
‘her.’
It’s unpleasant and interesting.
Since you are quite confident in your abilities, aren’t you able to blurt out such provocations?
Esther thought that this situation clearly revealed what Kim Ki-ryeo was hiding.
Because a simple F-class couldn’t have that kind of arrogance.
“The association has blocked the road. Step on it!”
“Fasten your seat belt, sir.”
“If there’s an accident, will I die? Or will you die?”
Esther got into the car heading to the scene and leaned against the passenger seat, thinking.
‘But why are you provoking me like this?’
I’m concerned that Kiria suddenly acted so aggressively…
‘no way.’
warning.
In that moment, those cold words flashed through my mind.
Kim Ki-ryeo sarcastically got angry, knowing full well the level of curses this side was enduring.
Perhaps this was an act to induce him to use his awakening powers once again.
But if you curse me for this slight provocation… … .
‘You’re not going to just let this go like last time, are you?’
Someone’s image is reflected in the rearview mirror.
A mysterious hunter who, despite using the entire guild’s information network, has yet to find any noticeable traces of his past.
The nameless Awakened One is now trying to lure you out.
‘You fight quite roughly despite your appearance.’
Esther fell into a faint state of tension.
