The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 67

Episode 67. Hadong (3)

Two days later.

Seon Woo-yeon and Kim Ki-ryeo really arrived in Hadong.

‘Did I ask you for nothing?’

But as soon as this B-class hunter set foot on his home soil, he was overcome with shallow regret.

“Should I hold the gate appropriately?”

“yes…….”

Because I had to go into the dungeon from now on because I thought there might be an accident if I trained outside.

To be honest, I wasn’t happy about it.

You have to go into an unknown world where you can’t even make a phone call, alone with a disguised registrant who has hidden their awakening level.

Is this really the right thing to do?

‘Ugh… … .’

But there is no choice.

‘This guy is right. If a pedestrian gets hit by the skill, it’s a big problem.’

They then arrived at a nearby F-class gate.

The inside of the gate was a wide plain perfect for training, but I didn’t feel at ease.

‘Will they really let me use the skill in just 3 days?’

Everything is still half-true… … .

“Just a moment.”

Kim Ki-ryeo glanced at the nervous Seon Woo-yeon and took something out of his jacket pocket.

It was an unexpected composition.

“Alcohol swabs and a blood transfusion device?”

Why are things that are only sold at pharmacies here?

She tilted her head and accepted the bloody needle.

But the sentence that followed was somewhat creepy.

“Disinfect your wrists.”

“yes?”

“Disinfect this area well and then prick yourself. Now.”

As soon as we start, they tell us to draw blood.

“Why, why?”

Seonwooyeon’s eyes grew wide.

Kim Ki-ryeo only spoke dryly after seeing this.

“Do you know what your biggest problem is?”

“problem?”

“It’s the use of magic power. It’s not just clumsy, it’s completely out of control.”

“uh…….”

“So I’ll use the fastest method.”

Until this point, Seon Woo-yeon couldn’t understand what the other person was saying.

“What are you doing? Hurry up and don’t do it.”

But what can we do?

Seon Woo-yeon eventually started drawing blood as instructed.

At the same time, Kim Ki-ryeo seemed to be drinking something like a potion, but I was so focused on the bloodletting that I couldn’t see it properly.

“Is this okay?”

Click!

When you press the prickly spur, a needle is stuck into your skin.

Seonwooyeon revealed her wrist, from which blood had begun to drip down.

“Yes. You did well. Then, first, I need to get a feel for handling magic… … .”

But I wondered why Kim Ki-ryeo disinfected his hands during this time.

He then grabbed Seon Woo-yeon’s injured area with his chin!

“Watch carefully. I’m only going to demonstrate this once.”

Seon Woo-yeon, whose wrist was grabbed, was startled and tried to say something.

My mouth was shut tightly at the sensation that followed.

“Ugh!”

Phew.

The mana inside my body swirls around violently, as if I’m being forcibly dragged by someone.

A foreign substance that is clearly different from blood.

Moreover, I have clearly felt this sharp stimulation of the mana that has stayed in my heart passing through my lungs before.

‘At the B-class gate, when I first used the skill… … .’

Seon Woo-yeon bit her lip, not knowing what to do about the flow of magical power that felt so vivid it was scary.

Then a few seconds later.

All senses suddenly disappeared.

Kim Ki-ryeo let go of his hand.

“are you okay?”

“omg!”

When I heard those words, cold sweat poured down my face.

I don’t know how, but it seems like this hunter has taken control of my magic power and is shaking it as he pleases.

“Anyway, let’s try using the skill again.”

“yes?”

“I just got my senses back. Okay, hurry up.”

The man’s tone of voice telling me to try out his skills was so light that it didn’t really hold much credibility.

Still, Seon Woo-yeon considered herself to be fooled and followed his advice.

‘If you follow the feeling you had earlier.’

But that was the moment.

A gust of wind suddenly blows on a clear day without any wind.

Whew.

The B-class hunter with his bangs pulled back opened his eyes wide. Huh? This is it.

“Skill!”

It is an awakening skill.

It felt stupid to have never trusted him before.

Who would have thought that a problem that couldn’t be solved even by visiting a renowned expert would be solved so quickly!

“Did you see? The skill appeared!”

Seonwooyeon shouted with joy.

However, the other person wasn’t particularly impressed.

“Of course it would come out. Honestly, it’s rather strange that an Awakened person with such good specs like you hasn’t been able to use the skill until now.”

“Is that so?”

When Kim Ki-ryeo spoke coldly, Seon Woo-yeon’s excitement subsided and he became a little gloomy.

“Anyway, come this way. From now on, I’ll teach you how to use skills.”

But this statement made me raise my head again.

“Can you help me more?”

“Rather than helping, I guess I’ll have to use a lot of skills to solidify my senses anyway… … .”

Since I’m using up mana anyway, why not use it for both?

He said it in a casual tone, as if it was nothing special.

But the lessons that followed were anything but trivial.

“Hunter Seonwooyeon, breathe. Breathe. It’s a bad habit to hold your breath when using a skill.”

Kiryun identified Seonwooyeon’s problems at a glance and gave him appropriate advice.

Even abstract concepts quickly become clear when he explains them.

This gives you a rough idea of the depth of knowledge that Kyeryeo possesses.

Why is there such a saying?

The saying goes that what you don’t understand yourself, you can’t teach to others.

‘Awesome.’

At this point, I began to understand Ahn Yoon-seung’s belief in Kim Ki-ryeo.

Certainly, he was on a different level from the average Awakened.

“Are you out of breath?”

“Yes. I think I’m out of mana.”

“Let’s stop here for today. We can’t pour millions of won worth of potions into practice.”

So, this is a question that arises.

“Excuse me, just a moment… … .”

She stopped Kim Ki-ryeo, who was preparing to go out.

There are only two people inside the gate, so it’s a good opportunity.

“Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo. I have a question for you.”

“Oh, yes.”

Seon Woo-yeon took a moment to consider his words, then spoke with a serious face.

“No matter how much I think about it, I still can’t understand. Why is someone like you pretending to be an F-class?”

The intention was silence.

“If you put your mind to it, you could easily receive better treatment than this.”

“… … .”

“Why do you work so hard to hide your abilities?”

Manipulating the awakening level means deceiving the association.

This was the decisive reason why Seon Woo-yeon could not trust Kim Ki-ryeo.

So Seon Woo-yeon wanted to hear a precise explanation.

Why are you hiding your skills? Is there a good reason for that?

Can I trust you?

“Can you tell me?”

Seon Woo-yeon asked with complicated feelings.

So what is the person who asked the question thinking at this moment?

Hair dyeing, a rare treatment in the hunter industry. And the man with the cold impression calmly closed his eyes.

‘Huh, what are you talking about…?’

Honestly, from our point of view… … .

I just wonder why Seonwooyeon is like that.

‘I can’t understand the way Earthlings think. Why are you suddenly talking about ranks?’

Considering the other person’s serious attitude, he decided to answer somehow.

But does that answer necessarily have to be true?

‘hmm.’

After his reincarnation, Kim Ki-ryeo experienced a truly diverse range of human experiences.

Among them, there were good people like Ahn Yoon-seung.

What remains in the mind are violent crimes such as kidnapping and terrorism.

If I think about it carefully, the reason I was kidnapped and almost robbed was because I was a powerless F-class.

‘It’s no good being looked down on by Earthlings.’

So shouldn’t we now have to show some appropriate bluff in order to survive?

Of course, lying isn’t difficult, because he already has a useful excuse.

‘Okay. Just do what I told that A-class hunter.’

How shameless.

He reused the entire repertoire that he had used on Ahn Yoon-seung.

“Mr. Seonwooyeon, what do you think about awakening?”

Awakening is not a product of effort.

It was just something that was suddenly given to me.

So I find this power awkward.

If it appeared without a reason, it could also disappear in an instant.

He himself does not normally rely on awakening abilities or anything like that.

I think that things that can be solved naturally should be done that way… … .

What else, etc. As Kiria spoke naturally, Seonwooyeon looked surprised.

‘So this is why I don’t use my awakening ability.’

In today’s age of skill omnipotence, isn’t this a rather rare thought?

“So that’s why you hid your abilities when you fell into the B-class gate with me?”

Seon Woo-yeon thought about his words and then asked a question.

Then, Kiryeo starts to think busily.

“Oh, even if I had stepped in, it wouldn’t have been of much help anyway….”

“Why?”

“My ability is a bit… … difficult to use in places where there are people… …?”

If you keep bragging about being strong, you might end up taking on troublesome issues later.

He was just talking nonsense out of a sense of crisis.

But Seon Woo-yeon interpreted this sentence quite differently.

‘You can’t use it in front of people? Are you saying that there is a skill so strong that even such an excellent hunter can’t completely control it?’

She was very nervous.

Is Kim Ki-ryeo the type who leaves a wide aftermath in the surrounding area like the guild leader of the magic tower?

In that case, it would be worth voluntarily restraining one’s abilities.

I understand it, but… … .

“But isn’t deceiving the Hunter Association a separate issue?”

Seonwooyeon had no choice but to recommend it because of his sense of duty as an association employee.

How about revealing the real rank now?

Then, Kim Ki-ryeo seemed to think for a moment, then lowered his eyes and spoke quietly.

“I’m sorry, but that would be difficult.”

“yes?”

“Once you’re marked as a high-level Awakener, there will be more moments where you have to use your abilities even if you don’t want to.”

Phew.

“I don’t want that. Please. I want to live as quietly as possible.”

The setting is that he is so great that he hides himself out of fear of being bothered by the world.

It’s a cliché, but when it comes to bragging, nothing beats this.

“okay.”

In fact, the effect was also great.

First of all, Seon Woo-yeon was fooled by the lie.

‘An Yoon-seung’s guess that he was hiding his abilities out of concern for the association’s interference was correct.’

but.

If someone with abilities like Kim Ki-ryeo were to be revealed to the world, not only the association but all the guilds would be in chaos.

‘Instead of causing trouble with that kind of force, I’d rather you just keep quiet.’

Seon Woo-yeon looked much more relieved.

‘Besides, there are also recent behaviors that make it difficult to simply say that he is indifferent to the world’s affairs… … .’

Yeah. I think I can finally trust that hunter.

“Thank you for telling me.”

Seonwooyeon exited the gate with a satisfied face.

And proposed.

“Oh, by the way, you must be starting to get hungry. Would you like to eat first?”

“Do you know any good stores?”

“There is a restaurant I’ve been going to since I was little… … .”

Does she know that Kim Ki-ryeo was actually threatening her throughout the conversation?

But there’s nothing to worry about.

In the end, the person who will suffer the most from this conversation is this hunter.

“I would appreciate anything if you would buy it for me. I will enjoy it.”

Kim Ki-ryeo looked delighted at Seon Woo-yeon’s offer to treat him to a meal.

The execution of the future.

Not even knowing that the press conference in question was being brought forward in real time.

-Tiring, ringing! Tiring, ringing!

“Eww, be quiet!”

The second day in Hadong dawned.

I woke up to a loud alarm sound and immediately started getting ready to go out.

Because I have a schedule for today too.

“Huh.”

Hadong also has clean air.

When I come this far, I don’t even feel the stalker’s gaze.

Anyway, I have a feeling things are going well.

‘It’s going smoothly.’

After I finished getting ready, I headed straight to the meeting place.

At the place we arrived, there was a sign with a familiar name hanging.

[15m ahead → Killer Bee’s Nest (C)]

Yes, today is the day to collect materials for the magic booster.

And the agent who will get rid of the annoying monster is this person.

“Hunter Seonwooyeon, are you ready?”

“Uh, um. For now.”

I spoke confidently to the hesitant B-class.

“Then, please go in now.”

This was today’s task.

I left the gate solo clearing to Seonwooyeon under the pretext of getting used to the skills I learned yesterday.

“Do I really have to do this alone? Is that okay?”

Anyway, Seon Woo-yeon is a magician who manipulates atmosphere and lacks confidence.

With that ability, you could probably beat up a hunter of a higher level than you, so why are you whining so much?

“Once you’ve broken through all the gates, make sure to bring back all the killer bee stingers. We’ll use them to test how many monsters you’ve caught.”

“yes…….”

“Don’t worry too much.”

I said, nodding to the gate entrance.

“This is just a C-class gate, how could anything happen?”
