Episode 54. Tired Heart (2)
But for some reason, the mana in your body seems much more unstable than the last time I saw you.
‘Are you tired?’
I tilted my head, but slowly walked north.
Before long, a familiar face appeared.
‘As expected, it’s Jeong Ha-seong.’
The number one ranked player was currently facing off against a large monster.
***
How did things turn out like this?
Jeong Ha-seong was confused.
‘it’s hard.’
Close the gate, close it, close it again. This has been going on for 40 hours already.
But rather than improving, the situation became more extreme.
-Artificial dungeon break confirmed!
This is clearly terrorism.
But who the hell would do something like this?
What immediate benefit do you get from releasing monsters?
“Hoooo… … .”
Jeong Ha-seong tried to cool his head.
Now was not the time to be emotional.
‘The leader of the Matap Guild is in Cheongju at a time like this.’
Right now, we are in a situation where we cannot expect any help from other S-classes.
Shouldn’t you come to your senses?
“Klararararak!”
Ssuk, bang!
A flood of attacks came from monsters that had escaped from the cage called the Gate.
With one swing of their front paw, the poor creature was cut like a piece of paper.
“Tsk.”
He clicked his tongue and activated the skill.
It was the same flame skill that I had been using to the point of boredom for the past 40 hours.
“Kaaaaaaah!”
“Keeeeee!”
A seemingly overwhelming flame.
However, this S-class was quite tired, and as a result, the power of its skills was reduced by half.
“Hoo!”
Jeong Ha-seong took another deep breath.
I’ve been feeling dizzy since a while ago, maybe because I’m out of mana.
‘There are only a few left.’
He had no choice but to take out the potion he had been saving.
That was the moment.
“Please, please save me… … .”
A pitiful voice is heard from somewhere.
Jeong Ha-seong stopped drinking the potion and turned his head away.
“Save me… Please… .”
“uh!”
A person was trapped under the rubble of a collapsed building.
Jeong Ha-seong ran straight to him.
“Hey, help me… … .”
“Don’t move! We’ll clear the rubble right away!”
There was no need to roll up my sleeves.
Because the physical abilities of the advanced Awakened were so superior that they could be considered a completely different species.
“Are you okay?”
“My legs won’t move. Please help me up.”
“Oh, yes!”
Jeong Ha-seong supported the citizen and thought to himself.
In this kind of disaster situation, the base station will be down, so if you call the guild staff by radio and evacuate them… … .
“By the way, you’re the number one ranked hunter, Jeong Ha-seong, right?”
But this time.
Jeong Ha-seong opened his eyes wide at the sudden feeling of heat.
By the way, the citizen who had asked me to stand up for a moment was somehow hugging me tightly.
As if trying to prevent this side from running away.
“uh?”
The question was fleeting.
pop!
What followed was a violent outburst.
A burning pain.

And then the blood burst out.
“Ugh… … ?”
Beep beep.
Severe tinnitus struck his ears. Ha-seong fell to his knees helplessly.
The explosive item that the citizen was hiding in his bosom exploded.
‘Suicide bombing!’
It was the moment when someone’s wish came true.
Taking advantage of the chaotic period of increased gate appearances, we are once again causing dungeon breaks.
Draining Jeong Ha-seong’s magical power.
Hold your breath and wait for your chance.
Those pseudo-religious people, known as the Nachal Temple, have finally taken action.
He tried to directly eliminate the weakened S-class hunter.
“Cough, ugh.”
This poor hero was an easy target in particular.
He always walked alone, worried that his flame would harm others.
“Ugh.”
Ha-seong tried to take out the restorative medicine from the bag on his waist, but the massive bleeding did not allow him to do so.
Before long, the Awakened One’s consciousness was completely darkened.
***
So what… … .
To put it simply, that’s it.
“If I hadn’t been there, this would have been a disaster.”
After a huge uproar.
I had been watching the situation the whole time, and as soon as the suicide bombing occurred, I ran over in shock.
What the hell is this mess?
“Eek, this wound is no joke!”
The world is so cruel.
The citizens were swept away by a powerful explosion, and all that was left was Jeong Ha-seong, bleeding profusely from a hole in his chest.
I was a bit surprised by the sudden accident.
I calmly started administering first aid.
“I’m glad you brought the medicine.”
The recovery drug that Kang Chang-ho gave!
This kind of thing would be better suited for a man in dire straits than a great wizard like me.
“Phew, you listen well.”
Gulp gulp gulp. I used the healing potion I was given without hesitation.
Then, the wounds of the fallen hunter quickly healed.
“hmm.”
Fortunately, it didn’t take long for the man to regain consciousness. After a while, the man’s eyelids moved slowly.
“Are you okay?”
Blink. Blink.
I cautiously asked Ha-seong, who had opened his eyes. The first words he said in return were… … .
“Why are you here? Evacuation… … ?”
What a useless question.
But I couldn’t be rude to the patient. I answered as bluntly as I could.
“The shelter was full, so I was running around here and there, and then I happened to find Mr. Ha-seong.”
“ah…….”
“How is it? Can you move your body?”
The wound has healed, but is there still pain?
Jeong Ha-seong frowned and raised his upper body with difficulty.
Then he put his hand on his chest and continued speaking with a surprised look on his face.
“Did you use any potions here?”
“yes.”
“That kind of injury can happen in an instant… Oh, how much did it cost? I’ll definitely pay you back.”
“Well, I received it as a gift, so I don’t know the price.”
But at that time.
Support support support.
A sudden sentence burst out from Ha-seong’s waist along with an annoying noise.
-Resend wind. YTV headquarters Class A 3 bodies. YTV headquarters Class A 3 bodies.
It’s a radio.
As soon as this S-class heard the voice, he immediately answered the radio.
“This is Jeong Ha-seong. I will be there in 5 minutes.”
But wait, what did this crazy guy just say?
Jeong Ha-seong gets up from his seat.
When I saw that, I got up right away. To catch the other person.
“Just a moment. Hunter Jeong Ha-seong!”
I guess this person doesn’t know his own condition right now.
“You shouldn’t move like that yet.”
“yes?”
“Because the explosion destroyed his lungs! He was unlucky. It’s fortunate that he was treated quickly, but he needs to rest for a while.”
That’s why ignorance is bliss.
How could you possibly think of using magic in that state?
“You are prohibited from using skills today in particular. Since your lung tissue is still young and has just regenerated, using magic can easily cause aftereffects.”
Is there any organ in the world that is not precious?
At least for wizards, the lungs were the most precious organ of all.
But even if there is irreversible damage to the lungs, the sorcerer’s skills could be cut in half overnight.
So, in reality, Jeong Ha-seong needs to be laid down somewhere right now.
“Thank you for the advice. But in this situation, I can’t help it… … .”
This damn S-class ignored my words and tried to rush to the scene. It was heartbreaking to see him like that.
“Do you understand what I’m saying? I’m saying that if you do that, you could end up with permanent disability.”
“I will take responsibility.”
“No, over there!”
I stopped the S-class.
The argument continued for a while, but the attitude of the unnecessarily inflexible man was consistent.
“Mr. Kim Ki-ryeo, even at this moment, people are dying.”
I don’t understand. I blurted out whatever came to mind.
“So what? It’s not your fault.”
But damn it. It seems that this one light word was more of a sore spot than I thought.
“What did you say?”
Jeong Ha-seong’s face crumples in an instant.
“Why do you say that? Don’t you understand the situation right now? If I don’t go, dozens of people will die right now.”
“That’s their business! Is there only one Hunter in this city? Let’s just leave it to the others today… … .”
“Yes. I’ll rest right away once this matter is taken care of. Please step aside for now.”
“You can’t get out of the way!”
I threw my body and desperately tried to stop him.
“Is there any family at the scene of the crime? If not, please… … .”
“Whew. Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo. I really appreciate your help, but please stop now. It’s interfering with my work.”
But Jeong Ha-seong’s reaction rather became colder.
‘We can’t communicate!’
It’s too obsessive to be called simple heroism.
By now, he must have realized the severity of his injury.
Why on earth can’t you just sit still?
It’s not like anyone is threatening me with a knife…
“Ugh.”
At first, I was annoyed by Ha-seong’s stubbornness, but as time passed, I suddenly began to feel pity for him.
‘Are you forcing them to go out because of orders from some place like the association?’
Young and talented people are exploited for their labor to ensure the security of the country… … .
If I think about it, my past life was no different.
“Hunter Jeong Ha-seong.”
I thought for a moment and then quietly spoke behind Ha-seong’s back as he turned to leave.
“This is truly the last warning. If you continue like this and your lungs are destroyed, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Do you really have to ignore my words?”
“Is this a warning?”
Jeong Ha-seong stopped preparing his flying magic tool and looked back.
“You called yourself an F-class, so it seems a bit odd for someone like that to give me a warning. I’m sorry to say this, but honestly, there’s nothing you can do at that level.”
A strangely belittling remark.
Since I didn’t respond, Jeong Ha-seong turned his gaze back to his item box.
“I don’t think there’s anything I can do… … .”
That moment was my chance. I made a decision.
“…!”
Charrrrrr.
Jeong Ha-seong froze at the sudden sharp sound of a chain.
That was the sound I made when I threw the censer.
Ss …
The S-class cut a flying object in half with superhuman reflexes.
The moment his sword destroyed the golden censer, I was certain of victory.
“What is this… … !”
puck!
Cherry-colored smoke spread from the halved incense burner. When Ha-seong saw this, he quickly covered his mouth and nose.
But that probably doesn’t mean anything.
“Huh!”
Soon, the flame wizard’s body collapsed.
The incense burner that I accidentally obtained during the kidnapping incident.
Why would an item that could attack up to B-class also work on Jeong Ha-seong?
The answer was simple.
I’ve been remodeling that incense burner for a while now.
Thanks to that, any Earthling can be put to sleep by anyone they come across. Well, it’s a bit of a shame that he left right after his debut.
Empty.
I walked towards him, kicking away the scattered fragments of the incense burner.
“Ugh, uh, how… … .”
Looks pretty broken.
Now that I look at it, I notice a ring on Jeong Ha-seong’s fallen hand.
‘Aha, so you prepared sleep resistance equipment after being attacked by Kang Chang-ho.’
Even though I prepared well, it’s still frustrating to get hit with the same method twice.
I rolled my eyes, then looked down at him and said.
“It’s all for you.”
Then, Jeong Ha-seong trembled his chin, ground his teeth, and fell into a deep sleep.
It’s funny.
Korea’s proud hero. Who would have thought that the undisputed number one would faint at the hands of an F-rank?
“Suddenly the rumors became true.”
It’s obvious that it’s going to be a hassle, but I can’t just sit still when I see someone like Jeong Ha-seong.
Because the image of me working too hard overlapped with my past self, I wanted to help in some way.
This promising sorcerer is obviously trying to ruin my lungs, so I can’t help but stop him.
“Hmm. Well, I’ll think about that later.”
Anyway, I’m too kind, it’s a problem.
I carried the sleeping S-class on my back and headed to the nearby hospital.
***
Even if we assume the first one was a coincidence.
When coincidences repeat themselves, they become inevitable.
“How did Hunter Jeong Ha-seong end up like this?”
“Do I have to explain myself if I’m going to admit you? Well, I ended up using a sleeping item.”
The number one ranked hunter appears unconscious and the F-ranked hunter claims to have put him to sleep.
Hasn’t this picture looked familiar?
There was an uproar among the hospital staff. So where is the main character of this story now?
As expected, the attempt was made before Ha Sung could rise.
“Oh, patient. Are you awake?”
“Kim Ki-ryeo, Kim Ki-ryeo, this guy… … .”
“yes?”
As soon as Jeong Ha-seong came to his senses, he started running wild.
“What on earth was that F-class thinking, putting me to sleep in this critical situation!”
Let’s say I got stabbed in the back of the head by the same hunter.
But how on earth did I put him into such a terrible state of sleep? When I opened my eyes, a full 24 hours had passed.
This happened after all the dungeon break terrors had been resolved.
How many people died while I was doing nothing?
How many more people?
Jeong Ha-seong forced himself to lie down at the doctor’s recommendation, but his heart just wouldn’t calm down. An unpleasant pounding lingered in his ears.
“under…….”
There was silence for a moment.
Then the cell phone on the bedside table rang loudly.
[Association President☎]
Jeong Ha-seong washed his face after seeing the name on the screen.
