Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter 219
219. Promise with Justin Walker
A month has passed since I became an S-class.
Although it was only a month, Min Do-jun’s growth rate was unparalleled.
‘Ranking system.’
[Domestic ranking]
1st place – Shin Kyung-min (born 1995) – Level 3,601 (S-rank)
2nd place – Kang Hyuk-soo (born 1981) – Level 3,567 (S-rank)
3rd place – Jeong Hye-won (born 1995) – Level 3,549 (S-rank)
4th place – Seo Jin-cheol (born 1995) – Level 3,510 (S-rank)
—————
———-
7th place – Min Do-jun (born 2000) – Level 3,400 (S-rank)
‘Already in the TOP 7.’
The level-up speed was so fast that even Min Do-jun was surprised.
‘As the leveling up speed increases, so does the fame.’
Since he was already famous as a S-class swordsman and a hero of Hongdae, the public was interested in his movements.
Which dungeon in which country did you clear, and how fast did you level up?
Everything became news, and so even the ridiculous leveling speeds got attention.
In particular, a recent news story was enough to excite the Korean people.
[World No. 1 Justin Walker! Dropped to No. 2 in Infinite Tower after 4 years.]
[The difference between 1st and 2nd place is about 50 million points! An overwhelming 1st place!]
[The #1 on the Infinite Tower is a Korean citizen. Who is it?]
[After verification, it was revealed that the #1 player in the Infinite Tower is Hongdae’s hero, Min Do-jun… … .]
[Min Do-jun defeats Justin Walker and becomes the first South Korean to reach #1 on Infinite Tower.]
└Our country took first place? Is this true?
└Beating the US and taking first place? That’s crazy, really!
└But what is the Infinite Tower? Can someone explain it to me?
└The Infinite Tower is a holographic hidden dungeon where you test your skills against monsters that appear on each floor. You can climb the Hall of Fame based on the points you earn by slaying monsters. In other words, being ranked 1st in the Infinite Tower means that you have overwhelming fighting power. That was Speedwagon.
└Thank you, Speedwagon!
└So in short, you’re saying that Min Do-jun is stronger than Justin Walker?
└No, I don’t know. The lower your level is when you enter the Infinity Tower, the more points you get. It’s advantageous when you enter at level 2,250.
└I saw in another article that the level that Justin Walker and Min Do-jun entered was the same, 2,250?
└Uh… … Then it’s true that Hunter Min Do-jun is stronger than Justin Walker. Of course, that’s assuming they’re on the same level.
└Does this make sense? Justin Walker is ranked #1 in the world and Min Do-jun is now only ranked #7 in Korea? Min Do-jun is stronger?
└Idiot. Rankings are not an indicator of strength. They are simply ranked by level.
└The higher the level, the stronger you are. What nonsense are you talking about?
└Anyway, what I’m saying is that Min Do-jun overwhelmingly defeated Justin.
└I thought it was strange that the level was fast, but it was because he was really strong.
└I can say it in one word. It’s crazy.
└At this point, isn’t it true that even Shin Kyung-min can’t compare himself to Min Do-jun?
└Looking at the level-up speed, it seems like it will soon reach #1 in the country.
└It is truly the pride of the Republic of Korea.
└It’s crazy. It’s crazy.
└Min Do-jun, is he a newbie?
A domestic hunter beat the strongest player in the US, Justin Walker, and took first place?
It was as if South Korea had won the FIFA World Cup.
Min Do-jun’s fame has grown exponentially since the Infinite Tower rankings were revealed.
Now even children passing by know Min Do-jun’s name.
Min Do-jun has established himself as a true pride of the Republic of Korea.
‘hmm?’
At that time, an article on the main page of a portal site caught Min Do-jun’s attention.
[There is a guild specializing in assassination in Korea? The Black Sea Guild, which specializes in contract killings.]
[The worst guild ever, made up of criminal hunters. They secretly take orders to kill civilians… … .]
[Breaking News! The Black Sea Guild recently tortured the victim, Mr. Lee (53), in an alley in downtown Seoul and then blew himself up.]
[The victim’s existence was unknown until then, but he was caught thanks to the confession of conscience of an acquaintance who died.]
[The Ugly Reality, the Black Sea Guild. An Evil That Eats Away Society.]
[Police to investigate all those who have requested assistance from the guild. Punish them for instigation of murder.]
‘As expected, the Black Sea Guild’s crimes were reported in the news.’
Looking at the comments, it seems like people’s criticism is no joke.
‘Their evil deeds must be known through history.’
Min Do-jun was delighted by the guild’s evil deeds that surfaced from the water.
Even though it was a guild under his control, he wanted to be torn apart by the public like this.
‘If I think about what these guys did to me in my past life, I won’t feel satisfied even if I chew them all up.’
I will use the remaining 14 Black Sea Guild members as I please and give them all their special traits.
At that moment, the corners of my lips were raised.
Jiiing- Jiiing-
The cell phone vibrated.

It wasn’t the phone I was looking at that was ringing.
It was ringing in the drawer.
‘Another call from the Black Sea Guild?’
Min Do-jun opened the drawer and was slightly surprised.
It wasn’t Ahn Gwang-hyun’s cell phone.
‘It’s a call from Heo Ji-pyeong.’
He Zhiping, the master of the Chinese White Snake Guild.
Min Do-jun, who killed him, had kept his cell phone just in case.
I was wondering if Justin Walker would contact me.
As expected.
‘It’s here now.’
The sender name was clearly written as Justin Walker.
Slurp-
Min Do-jun, wearing the Tarn Helm, immediately transformed into Heo Ji-pyeong.
If you want to imitate him, even your voice has to be perfect.
Bb-
I answered the phone with a nervous face.
“Hello, Justin Walker.”
– Long time no see, Heo Ji-pyeong. How have you been?
“Of course.”
There was no hint of doubt in Justin Walker’s voice as he spoke Chinese.
‘I’m glad I can speak Chinese.’
Min Do-jun continued to play Heo Ji-pyeong.
“So why are you calling?”
-Do I have to call you only if something happens?
“I’m sorry if I offended you.”
-Haha, just kidding. Of course I called because I had something to do.
“what…….”
-There was an article in Korea. It was about the Black Sea Guild.
“ah…….”
Min Do-jun could figure out why he had suddenly called.
-You said the guys who took my sword were from the Black Sea Guild?
“Yes.”
-I just remembered it when I saw the article.
Min Do-jun couldn’t help but be surprised when he heard that.
‘You thought of it after reading the article… ?’
I think you don’t care as much about the legendary sword as I thought.
-The last time we spoke, you said you were going to track them down and get the sword back. What happened?
“I haven’t found it yet.”
-still?
“… … I have no face.”
There was a brief silence between the two.
-You told me so confidently, but you still haven’t found it. I’m disappointed.
“I’m sorry. I will definitely track them down and get them back… … .”
-No. That won’t happen. The Black Sea Guild has already been exposed in the media. It would be better to just give up, because you might get caught if you try to find it for nothing.
“I wonder if that’s okay… … .”
– An item worth hundreds of billions of won has disappeared, but what can I do? And it’s not me who’s feeling sorry, it’s you, right? We agreed to take the sword if we got it back.
“But I feel bad because I don’t think I was able to properly carry out the orders I was given.”
-Ah, it’s okay. I’ve already achieved my goal.
Min Do-jun knew what his purpose was from hearing it from Heo Ji-pyeong.
‘The goal was to make the Korean association president indebted to me. I was planning to use that as an excuse to demand something in return.’
I don’t know what the price is, but I have to find out.
‘I’d like to meet Justin Walker if possible… … .’
At that moment, what suddenly came to Min Do-jun’s mind was the Overlord Guild’s proposal.
‘If I move to the Overlord Guild, will I be able to meet Justin Walker?’
There was no guarantee that we would definitely meet.
It’s probably more likely now than it was then.
-Don’t think about the sword anymore. Don’t be burdened by what you’ve lost.
“……thank you.”
-Then take care of your work.
‘No. I haven’t figured out his real purpose yet.’
As the call was about to end, Min Do-jun called out urgently.
“Uh, Justin Walker.”
-Why is that?
“I have a question, can I ask it?”
-Okay, try it.
Min Do-jun decided to throw a fastball rather than going around in circles.
“What are you going to do now?”
-What does that mean?
“Didn’t you make me owe the Korean association president what I wanted?”
-yes.
“I was wondering what you’re going to do from now on.”
-I’ll go to Korea soon to meet the president of the association. And I’ll have to demand compensation for losing the sword.
“What kind of request do you intend to make… … ?”
-It’s a bit embarrassing to say that.
“I’m sorry. Did I dig too deep?”
-I can’t say otherwise.
“I think I crossed the line without realizing it, thinking I was close to Justin Walker. I apologize.”
Break down the wall in someone’s heart by subtly flattering them.
It was a plan that Min Do-jun thought of in a short moment.
‘If the guy doesn’t like Heo Ji-pyeong, it will only increase his suspicions… … .’
If the opposite is true, a positive effect can be achieved.
Fortunately, Justin Walker seemed to have a favorable view of Heo Ji-pyeong.
-What line is there between us? Didn’t I tell you? Either way, we’re in the same boat.
“Haha… … Thank you for seeing it that way.”
-Even so, I can’t tell you over the phone.
At first glance, it was disappointing news, but Min Do-jun saw hope.
When you say you won’t talk on the phone, it actually means you’ll talk when you meet up.
As expected, Justin Walker made an offer he couldn’t refuse.
-If you’re really curious, come and hear it for yourself.
“Directly?”
-Yeah. When I go to meet the president, you can just pretend to be an attendant and stick with me.
“Is that okay?”
-What’s wrong with that?
This was an opportunity.
A great opportunity to meet Justin Walker.
-Are you coming out?
“I’m going out.”
-Then I’ll send you a text message in advance when I go to meet the president. When and where we’ll meet.
“All right.”
-It’s been a long time since I’ve seen your face in Korea.
“I’ll be looking forward to it.”
So, after making an appointment with Justin Walker, the call ended.
‘Can I finally see him in person?’
The game ends when you somehow meet him and remember his scent.
‘If you remember the smell, it’s like hunting prey.’
What was more anticipated than anything else was whether or not world number one Justin Walker’s weaknesses would be revealed.
‘Will I be strong now, or will that guy be strong… … .’
I was curious, but time will tell.
‘I wish that day would come soon.’
A smile spread across Min Do-jun’s lips.
