#21. The best rookie hunter ever (1)
“You mean no talent?”
“What do you mean?”
The reporters’ clamor grew louder.
Damdeok’s expression naturally frowned.
‘Why is that Cheonjungak guy…? .’
He was the only successor to Iris, the No. 1 guild in Korea, and was famous for the title of ‘chaebol family’s bastard.’
Above all, he was also an alumnus of his elementary, middle, and high school… .
‘I guess he went abroad to study after the accident and came back?’
He wasn’t a very nice guy.
Because of that guy, I have more than one or two memories from my school days that were dirty and stained… .
“Kkeuk, why did you suddenly become so dumb?”
The guy walks over to me and looks around arrogantly.
“Hey~ It was successful? Doing an interview in front of so many people. Hehehe, I guess our country’s reporters don’t have much to write about?”
It was an extremely rude remark, but each reporter cleared their throat and avoided eye contact.
‘Everyone doesn’t want anything to do with Iris.’
Maybe it’s not God who rules the world, but rich chaebols.
‘Nothing has changed since I was young.’
Of course, then and now are different. Because in this life, I plan to surpass even them.
There was nothing to be afraid of.
“Is it still the case that the son of a chaebol family makes fun of his mouth?”
Cheonjungak gritted his molars at Damdeok’s sarcastic remarks.
Yu Dam-deok.
What kind of guy is that guy?
From his school days, a guy with no academic talent chewed up entire books to get first place in the whole school, and a guy with no sports talent rolled around on the dirt every day to get the lowest score possible, and was eventually selected as a scholarship student by the Iris Foundation, where he spent his entire school days. Having my father’s love all to myself!
in short,
‘Cheeky bastard… !’
Wow.
I gritted my teeth and looked at the guy.
With his short two-block hair and long slit eyes, he looks just like a country Jindo dog, but I don’t know why my father likes him so much.
And when I see Yu Dam-deok after a long time, nothing has changed since my school days.
“How dare you untalented bastard…” !!”
The reporters who were watching simultaneously started flashing.
Cheonjungak was running towards me! I laughed.
“Okay, take as many pictures as you want! Take a picture! But did you remember all your faces?”
Most of the reporters cleared their throats and looked away at Cheon Jung-ak’s threats.
‘That’s bullshit.’
Damdeok was worried about how to get out of this situation.
I deliberately wore a hat to avoid being noticed, and Baek Seol also transformed into a hat and put it on.
All plans went wrong because of that guy who suddenly appeared.
‘Are you going to grab it and run away?’
In my mind, angels and devils were in fierce conflict.
“Oh right! But you. “You’re doing something fun?”
Cheon Jung-ak leaned in close with a face full of scorn.
“I heard you cleared some kind of labyrinth dungeon and destroyed the gate?”
under. I guess I became famous because I became famous.
Seeing that a guy who never watched the news knows all about those events… .
“Everyone~ Does that make sense? How can someone with no talent do something like that? Is this a fraud against the people? “Kkkkkk.”
Cheon Jung-ak opened his arms and made a fuss, and the reporters were busy taking pictures of him saying he liked it.
‘It’s not good like this.’
It was obvious even without looking at what Cheonjungak was trying to do.
If public opinion is swayed in a strange direction, it will hinder the increase in strength in the future. Just when I had no choice but to come up with an explanation,
“Can you take responsibility for your words?”
Ju Soo-yul suddenly appeared and said these words to Cheon Jung-ak’s face.
“… what?”
Cheon Jung-ak’s face was distorted grimly.
“Can you take responsibility?”
“What is the address rate? Are you covering for that guy now?”
“I’m asking for the third time if I can take responsibility.”
“… … .”
The atmosphere was strange.
‘Do you two already know each other?’
Actually, they are the successors to the 1st and 2nd largest guilds in Korea, so it was strange that they didn’t know each other.
If I had to say it was weird, it would be even weirder that Joo-yul was helping me.
“Ha~ The responsibility is a mess. Do you know him? I know very well. “Are you saying he’s untalented?”
Cheonjungak responded sarcastically.
Ju Soo-yul looked back at me without saying a word.
Her eyes were clear.

‘So what? Prove it?’
Well, it was the simplest way to overcome this situation.
‘… There’s nothing difficult about it.’
I was already trying to refute it that way.
Shuaaaa!
He showed off his newly acquired ‘Wind Running’ skill.
It was an instant.
A small wind rose in the park, and more than a dozen afterimages of Damdeok appeared.
“Oh oh! oh my god!”
“what! “You’re not talentless!”
People start cheering and applauding. It seemed that the fame of ‘Corea Hunter’ had not yet subsided.
‘It’s more favorable than I thought.’
As expected, helping me clear the labyrinth dungeon was a godsend.
“Are you done?”
When Damdeok said that, dozens of afterimages shouted along.
“Are you done? Are you done? Are you done? Are you done? Are you done?”
Cheon Jung-ak, whose eyes rolled back at the sight, came forward with his blood rising.
“No, that kid is definitely untalented?! f*ck you! Damdeok Yu! You say it yourself. “You’re untalented!”
At this point, I feel a bit sad.
Leaving the crazy guy alone, Damdeok and Ju Soo-yul leisurely left Hangang Park.
Several reporters followed him to the guild’s private bus and asked for an interview, but he declined them all.
“Whoa, I guess I can finally get some rest now.”
I leaned against the back of the bus.
Addressul, who was sitting next to me, answered while talking on his cell phone.
“Rest in peace.”
Damdeok looked at her blankly.
“… Suddenly speaking informally?”
“If you are friends with Cheonjungak, you are the same age as me. Can’t we just be friends?”
I was a little taken aback by her sudden suggestion.
[The target’s intention is close to good!]
… Well, if you think about it, Snow White’s name and Persephone’s bracelet were all just misunderstandings on my part.
To be honest, I have been a fan of Ju Soo-yul since a long time ago.
“Okay, let’s do it. friend.”
I leaned back and closed my eyes.
Because of this, I couldn’t see what Jo Soo-yul’s expression was. It was probably expressionless at best.
* * *
If there is one thing I learned from the Cheonjungak incident, it is that hunter qualifications must be obtained as quietly as possible.
‘Otherwise, it’s obvious that I’ll end up violating the Hunter Act again.’
For that reason, the Hunter Exam is very quiet.
I was planning to go quietly alone.
however… .
“That’s right~ I’m eating well.”
Crack! Suddenly!
Address walking next to you.
Snow White in her arms.
The two of them were very upset.
“No, why do you keep feeding me those seeds?”
“I told you. “Nuts are good for your health.”
Even as he said that, Ju Soo-yul’s eyes were fixed on Baek Seol.
“Huh, okay, I got it, I got it. But aren’t you busy? “Is it okay for the next successor to be free like this?”
“I have no plans today.”
“Okay, what should I say?”
The Hunter Exam is held especially on Dokdo to commemorate the 100th anniversary of liberation.
Thanks to you, I’m planning to leave early in the morning and get on the bus… .
“What are you doing? get on.”
Joo-yul appeared, driving a private car exclusively for the Sangun Guild.
That wasn’t all.
Even when arriving at the dock and trying to change boats,
“What are you doing? get on.”
Ju Ju-yul drove the boat himself and took him to Dokdo.
‘How on earth do you know how to drive a boat?’
Anyway, the more you know about him, the more fascinating he is.
“Come on, all prospective hunters, please gather together!”
Under the guidance of the supervisor, test takers began to gather.
“I’m coming back.”
Sooyul raised his hand and said hello without even looking at me. Baek Seol seemed busy feeding the seeds.
‘I came along for that purpose.’
There was a suspicion that ‘Maybe he was trying to steal Baek Seol?’, but Ju So-yul’s actions always came out as good.
Other than feeding seeds, it didn’t do anything particularly strange.
I just decided not to care anymore.
The official ceremony began on a huge artificial site next to Dokdo.
“To all the proud prospective hunters of Korea who have gathered here today, this meaningful day… .”
Starting with a boring speech by the president of the association, the national anthem was sung, the pledge to the national flag was completed, and the national gymnastics were all completed. Then, one by one, they were given admission tickets.
“Number 1117, we will measure your physical strength in the H zone.”
I walked according to the staff’s instructions.
It is said that Dokdo’s artificial site was created as a result of Japan’s military provocation, and it was really large.
A site that never ends no matter how many times you walk.
‘what. ‘How far are you going?’
When I felt like I was going a little too far, the employee stopped.
The very end of the lot, the very corner.
Jusoyul, located at the entrance to Dokdo, was not even visible.
“Are you taking the test here?”
There is no one around me taking the exam… ?
The closest test taker was over 100 meters away.
The employee smiled brightly and answered Damdeok’s question.
“Yes, of course. After all, basic physical fitness is measured independently. “Don’t worry, we will move to another location starting from the next test.”
I felt uncomfortable, but I thought I might have had bad luck in getting assigned.
“Please use the simulator.”
I obediently did as I was told.
This simulator is similar to the real situation, so you can think of it as an application of virtual reality.
“Let’s start the test. Please note that you may feel dizzy in the beginning.”
As soon as the employee’s words seemed to be growing, virtual physical fitness measuring instruments appeared.
These are all expensive devices, but if you run them in a simulator like this, you will save a lot of money.
“I’ll start with the lower body.”
Following the staff member’s instructions, I sat down on the lower body strength testing device.
– Examination number 1117. Difficulty adjustment! lift! lift! Raised to the highest level!
Suddenly, a strange mechanical sound came from the device.
At the same time, the weight on my legs became crazy heavy.
“Ugh, what is it?”
My legs don’t move.
“What kind of basic physical fitness test is this!”
I tried my best, but it seemed impossible with human power.
It was then.
A familiar voice was heard.
“Kkkkk, so I guess I should know the topic and come out~”
It was certain.
There will never be another voice as vile as this in Korea.
Cheonjungak.
“Are you a stalker?”
“Kkeuk, you’re cocky. To the test proctor?”
“… what?”
“I’m the H-zone test proctor here. Well, as a director, I’m just watching to see if you’re cheating, right?”
“What nonsense… .”
Just in time, an employee’s voice was heard.
“Number 1117. Please start the test quickly. When the test time is up, your score is automatically calculated by the device. “After that we cannot intervene.”
Cheonjungak burst out laughing.
“Did you hear? Basic physical fitness is measured using a simulator device. “No one can manipulate it~”
[A clear sense of malice is felt from the target.]
“It’s already been three minutes? There are now 2 minutes left! Friend~”
Cheonjungak sneered and sneered.
My legs still didn’t move.
“Kkkkk, do you know how many kilos that is? 1000 kilos, 1000 kilos. Human power will never be able to lift it! cancer.”
The corners of Damdeok’s mouth turned up when he heard the guy shouting out excitedly.
“They say we can never lift it with human strength…” .”
That is correct.
This was a weight that no human could lift.
then,
“… “Why don’t you use other powers?”
Sigh!
Damdeok’s stiff legs moved quickly. At the same time, fireworks exploded from the simulator device.
– congratulations! Test taker number 1117! Beat the highest difficulty level!
– Measuring grade… .
– 6 stars (★★★★★★) achieved!
“under… “It’s not good to be quiet.”
