Episode 66. Hadong (2)
Honestly, it’s annoying.
“all right.”
“thank you……!”
Although I had negative thoughts in my head, I eventually accepted the offer.
‘Ha, if only it weren’t for that scene just now.’
The image of Seonwooyeon carrying the old man’s luggage keeps coming to mind.
It is difficult to come out strong against such creatures.
Because I like altruism.

A little later.
“Are you sure it’s okay to come here?”
“Why bother going so far? You were going to eat here anyway.”
“That, that’s when I came alone… … .”
A nearby snack shop.
When we arrived at the store, we sat down at a table.
It was a small restaurant located on the corner of an alley, so there weren’t many customers. It was perfect for conversation.
“What’s delicious here?”
I looked at the menu and asked abruptly.
But Seon Woo-yeon’s complexion isn’t very good.
“Hunter Seonwooyeon?”
“Oh, that. Um, this is my first time here too. I just came because it was close. Sorry.”
I wonder why you’ve been so tense since earlier.
I finished ordering roughly and said a word.
“What on earth are you trying to say?”
“yes?”
“No, people are too stiff. If you have something to say, say it quickly.”
Then, Seon Woo-yeon was silent for a while, and then finally got to the main point.
“Oh, I need help.”
Help. Starting with that word, several words of explanation flowed.
“I want to use my awakening ability.”
“hmm?”
“After clearing that B-class gate, the skill didn’t appear again.”
“What did you say?”
“I even tried psychological therapy just in case… but no matter how much time passed, there was still no sign of my skills deteriorating.”
Seon Woo-yeon wrapped her arms around herself with a dark expression.
“I was having a hard time figuring out how to solve the problem when I heard this from Hunter Ahn Yoon-seung.”
“which?”
“You said you gave me some advice on how to use skills.”
“… … .”
“I expected you to fix someone else’s skills, which aren’t even your own… … .”
Seon Woo-yeon pauses for a moment.
Meanwhile, the fish cakes and kimbap I ordered arrived.
She continued her sentence only after she was sure the clerk had left.
“Anyway, I’ve always wanted to ask Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo to help me solve this problem.”
in short.
“Will you leave your skill rehabilitation to me… …?”
As the brief summary flowed, Seon Woo-yeon nodded quickly.
Let’s see. The rehabilitation of the sorcerer.
‘It’s certainly not impossible, though.’
This request is less difficult than you might think.
There are several reasons why Seonwooyeon cannot use her skills that can be pointed out right away.
‘How do I fix those bad habits?’
I was lost in thought while chewing on my tteokbokki.
In my head, it was almost a done deal that I would accept the other person’s request.
“Is it really going to be difficult?”
But at that moment, Seon Woo-yeon asked quietly with an anxious look. I almost laughed when I heard that question.
What? Is it ‘as expected’ going to be difficult?
What do you think of the Archmage now?
“Of course… … .”
Of course it is possible. That was the moment I was about to answer.
I ended up screaming as a thought flashed through my mind.
“ah!”
“Why, why are you like that… … .”
“I remembered!”
Now that I think about it, I felt uneasy all day because I couldn’t remember this one thing!

widely.
I said, hitting my knee.
“Mr. Seonwooyeon, are you from Hadong?”
“yes?”
“Isn’t your hometown Hadong-gun?”
Then Seon Woo-yeon nodded his head bewilderedly.
‘That’s right.’
I was wondering where I had seen the word Hadong.
When I came face to face with this person, I finally remembered.
A few weeks ago, when I put the number one ranked hunter to sleep with incense.
Because of that incident, I became personally curious about Jeong Ha-seong, so I searched for him on a portal site.
The hunter profiles that appear here are more interesting than you might think.
I hate food and all. While reading trivial information, I suddenly became curious about other people’s resumes.
I ended up searching all the hunters I knew.
Of course, Seon Woo-yeon was included here.
“How did you know where I was from?”
“I came across it by chance while clicking on various links.”
I recalled my memories from that time.
“By the way, is your house a tea house or something?”
“Oh, yes. My aunt runs it now, but they probably also run a tea house and sell tea leaves… … .”
“I saw that ad. It’s the website for the tea house your family runs. Your face is on the front door.”
Seon Woo-yeon seemed puzzled as to why such a topic was suddenly brought up, but there was a reason for everything.
“Okay. I’ll accept the request for now.”
“yes?”
“I’ll fix the skill that’s not showing up.”
Slurp.
I took a sip of the fish cake soup in the paper cup.
“But there is a condition.”
Gulp.
At the same time, Seon Woo-yeon swallowed dry saliva.
“I have to go to Hadong for some business. Because of the gate.”
“ah…….”
“So, it would be good if someone who knows geography well could give me some guidance.”
Besides, he’s also passing on the [Murder Bee’s Nest] gate hunting as a side job.
Heh heh heh. I barely managed to suppress the laughter that was about to break out.
“In addition, I have one more request.”
“which……?”
“I told you before that I discovered your family’s tea shop website.”
“yes.”
“But I’m not good at ordering online, so I ended up not having it delivered.”
For the record, this statement is true.
Like writing an email or installing a security program.
Internet payments were a very harsh mountain for aliens.
“I’d like to get some tea leaves as compensation while I’m at it.”
“yes?”
“Then I will correct your skills.”
Material rewards and guidance.
There was even a plan to sneakily get them to go around the gate under the pretext of practicing their skills.
It’s perfect.
‘I’ll use it wisely.’
I completely forgot that I had decided to be kind to the good creature and revealed my sinister intentions.
A chance to get a piece of the action with a precious B-class hunter!
How could I miss this opportunity?
‘I was already worried about the killer bee nest, so this is great! Thanks to this, it will be easier to make amplifiers.’
A little later.
Seonwooyeon listened to my suggestion, made a serious face, and then quickly gave an answer.
“Can I really ask for correction under these conditions?”
That’s a pointless question.
Rather, I should be grateful that they helped me.
As soon as I heard Seonwooyeon’s words, I nodded my head coolly.
***
Seonwooyeon thought briefly beyond his dark brown eyes.
What did I hear wrong just now?
Or is this hunter joking?
-I’d like to get some tea leaves as compensation while I’m at it.
But no matter how many times I checked, the result did not change.
-I’ll accept the request for now.
Kim Ki-ryeo granted his request.
-I’ll fix the skill not appearing.
So willingly.
Seon Woo-yeon was so flustered that he made a fuss. Meanwhile, the man across from him was calmly continuing his meal.
‘Is it okay for me to be this lucky? If I keep doing this… won’t I get hit by a car tomorrow?’
What Kim Ki-ryeo can do is just skill correction. Skill correction.
Analyze awakening techniques and suggest better ways to use them!
It’s an ability I’ve never heard of, but if it were really possible, it would be truly an amazing feat.
Perhaps when this comes to light… … .
Is it only in Korea?
At that time, all the hunters in the country will bow their heads before the person named Kim Ki-ryeo.
It was quite expected, because his guidance had that much meaning.
‘Skills are an unknown territory to humanity. It’s already been 7 years since the Dungeon Shock, but control is still left to individual intuition… ‘
Kim Ki-ryeo, how on earth is this possible?
According to Ahn Yoon-seung, he was able to pinpoint the problem with the skill with just one glance.
Then, how perfectly does it mean that he handles his awakening ability?
‘Phew.’
My thoughts wandered elsewhere for a moment.
Seon Woo-yeon took a deep breath and corrected the point.
Anyway, the most curious thing in this situation is why he accepted the request under these conditions.
‘What is their plan?’
As I explained earlier, Kim Ki-ryeo’s teachings were of immense value.
So, he was ready to take out a loan for this favor… … .
‘Tea instead of money? You’re going to settle for tea leaves now?’
Seon Woo-yeon’s mind went blank.
Thinking back, it was a ridiculous statement. Saying that just directions to Hadong and a little green tea would be enough.
No, but if you think about it… … .
‘It was the same last time.’
The opponent never expected much in return.
Even though he is a capable person who can draw out the hidden power of skills and pass through the maze of the magic tower.
Seon Woo-yeon then made a different prediction for a moment.
Is this guy interested in me? Is that why he’s being so nice to me?
“Hmm.”
It wasn’t such a far-fetched story.
Objectively speaking, Seon Woo-yeon has a pretty good appearance.
Even in her simple attire, she is clearly a beauty. Of course, she has often been courted by the opposite s*x.
‘no way.’
Even Seon Woo-yeon was able to be confident this time.
‘also.’
That awakened person doesn’t care about me.
I’m sure he didn’t mean to be nice to you like that.
‘A person who wants to look good to others would never have such a cold expression.’
This was a problem that could be figured out just by looking at the other person’s mood.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Stop.
But then, for a moment, Seon Woo-yeon’s eyes met Kim Ki-ryeo’s.
The man stopped eating and stared at me silently.
Why do I feel so shiver down my spine when we only made eye contact?
Yeah. Eyes.
Those eyes are the problem.
Kim Ki-ryeo always looks at people with that kind of gaze.
“… … .”
Just like a cow, a chicken, or a pig.
It’s like observing a ‘different species’ from yourself…
“It’s nothing.”
That’s why Kim Ki-ryeo is scary.
Even though he seems like a kind person, he sometimes reveals such a creepy underlying consciousness.
‘It’s a turtle.’
Seon Woo-yeon was afraid of the other person. This fear made her constantly suspicious of the man’s intentions and wary.
Why does he move without any reward?
Why are you helping other hunters like me and Ahn Yoon-seung?
‘Why on earth?’
That F-class hunter is truly full of questions.
But we can’t ask him about his secrets here.
After all, I was the one who made the request, and the other person was the one who readily agreed to help.
“Anyway, thank you so much for accepting my request.”
Seonwooyeon tried hard to calm the rising distrust.
Now it was time to coordinate the schedule.
“But how long will it take to be able to use the skill again?”
But I didn’t expect to get an answer like this.
“About 3 days?”
“What did you say?”
“If you take it easy, it’ll probably be around that much… … .”
Bam.
Seonwooyeon weakly dropped the kimbap she had picked up.
The F-class hunter sitting across from him continued talking while staring blankly down at the rolling kimbap.
“So, please give me some time on Friday. I can go down then and take care of some work over the weekend, and it’ll fit my schedule perfectly.”
“… … .”
“hey?”
Psychological counseling.
Advice from Neo Sisters.
Professional magic power test of Korea Magic Tower.
The awakening ability treatment that was not working no matter what I did was finished in just 3 days?
Seonwooyeon opened her mouth wide.
But she didn’t know it.
Even this is still too early to be surprising.
