Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter Part 2 Episode 50
50. B-Class
A welcome message came to me while I was hunting.
[Promoted to Class B!]
[One skill slot is added.]
But there was no significant change in Choi Sung-min’s expression.
Because I expected to be promoted soon.
‘As expected, if you solo, you can quickly raise your combat power by 10,000.’
Choi Sung-min has currently achieved a combat power of 100,000, but his ranking is only at 20,000.
Because it hadn’t been updated yet.
‘It hasn’t even been a month since I became a D-class, and I’m already promoted to a B-class.’
Even I think it was an incredibly fast growth rate.
‘The Onslaught trait definitely helped a lot in increasing my combat power.’
Since it was a trait that increased attack speed by three times, combat power was bound to increase continuously.
‘I’m looking forward to the upcoming battle power update.’
How surprised would people be if they saw Choi Sung-min go from a D-class to a B-class in just one month?
‘What? Song Chi-hyun already sounded surprised.’
Choi Sung-min remembers.
Song Chi-hyun’s reaction to being surprised by the words that he could make a B-class song by soloing for just one day.
‘It’s hard to believe, of course. This is the first time I’ve seen a hunter increase his fighting power so quickly.’
[Assassin’s Bloody Dagger (Growth Type)]
-Category: Weapon
– Grade: B (holder’s grade)
-Attack power: 1,520~1,680
-Effect: Reflexes +105, additional attack power +800 for 10 seconds when making a surprise attack, additional attack power +1,600 when making a surprise attack after hiding
– Durability: Infinite
-Usage restrictions: Class B or higher (bound)
As usual, Choi Sung-min was observing the changes in the dagger, and something caught his eye.
‘There’s an added surprise attack option after hiding, right?’
When you become a B-class, you get an option to increase your attack power by 1,600 when making a surprise attack after hiding.
‘If you just surprise attack, it’s 800, and if you surprise attack after hiding, it’s 1,600.’
A more perfect surprise attack using stealth will double the weapon attack power.
‘Here, the weapon attack power is doubled with Dagger Mastery… … so the maximum attack power is 6,400? This is crazy?’
I think that in the future, when making a surprise attack, I will definitely have to use stealth.
There was no other choice.
‘However, there is a cooldown time for hiding, so it will be difficult to use it often.’
I thought it would be good to sneak up and make a surprise attack when there was an important assassination.
‘For example, when killing Song Chi-hyeon.’
The time has come.
It’s time to betray Song Chi-hyeon.
* * *
As soon as Choi Sung-min left the dungeon, he called Song Chi-hyeon.
Because there was an instruction to contact me immediately if I became a B-class.
-Why did you call? Really?
“Yes, I just achieved B-class.”
-Huh, this quickly?
Song Chi-hyun, who was laughing as if he was dumbfounded, gave instructions.
-Just wait at the accommodation for now. I’ll send a car, so just come in that.
“All right.”
I didn’t ask why.
Because I had some idea of what it was going to be like.
As instructed, we waited at our accommodations and the limousine arrived.
“Are you Mr. Choi Seong-min?”
The driver got out, bowed deeply, and opened the back door.
“Get on. The great hero is waiting.”
As Choi Sung-min nodded and sat in the back seat, the driver started the car.
I looked out the window, feeling the comfortable ride, and saw that we were heading down a road I had never seen before.
‘I guess he must have called me to the mansion since he’s waiting for me.’
The prediction was exactly right.
As he got out of the car, Song Chi-hyun’s luxurious mansion was waiting for him.
‘It looks exactly like Song Chi-hyeon’s mansion that I saw before the ice age.’
As he had collected and brought down all the information about the great hero, he had already found out about Song Chi-hyeon’s residence.
“Hello, Mr. Choi Seong-min. Welcome to the Great Hero’s mansion. My name is Hwang Seok-gyu, the butler.”
A butler with slicked-back hair greeted me politely.
“Before meeting the Great Hero, we were instructed to first stop by the armory. I will guide you, so please follow me.”
Choi Seong-min, who was following the butler, smiled.
I also knew early on that there was an armory in the mansion.
‘I guess you’re thinking of letting me choose an item as a B-class commemoration.’

I arrived in front of the armory, wondering how many they would give me.
Crunch- crunch-
A shutter made of special plywood went up, revealing a 100-pyeong armory.
“The Great Hero said he would give you an item to commemorate your promotion to B-rank, so please choose as many as you need from here.”
“As much as you need?”
“He said I could literally take whatever I needed.”
Choi Sung-min was quite surprised inside.
‘I thought you were going to tell me to just pick one or two pieces of equipment, but you’re telling me to pick as much as I want?’
This means that Song Chi-hyun has high expectations for Choi Seong-min.
“Then I will wait at the door, so please make your choice and come out.”
When the butler left the armory, Choi Sung-min was left alone.
‘There’s nothing that isn’t there, from A to B class.’
It was literally like a department store, with all kinds of equipment and even skill books.
‘I didn’t know you had such expensive and diverse items in your personal armory.’
I knew it because I looked down at it before, but when I saw it in person, my mouth fell open.
‘Aren’t these items not available on the market?’
Usually, Hunter stores only sell items of C grade or lower, and it is rare to find items of B grade or higher.
Because from Class B onwards, it was monopolized by those in power.
‘From Class B onwards, you are recognized as a military person, not a merchant.’
The military is the next level above the merchants and is the highest status that Choi Sung-min can attain.
It is also a status that proves that one is a dog of the association.
‘It’s natural that they’re monopolizing it like this and not releasing it into the market since it’s an item for the association’s military.’
However, not everyone can obtain a B-class military rank.
‘It’s a status that can only be received by those who pledge loyalty to the association and do whatever it takes, or who have made great contributions to the association, or who are the direct subordinates of a great hero.’
Above all, military ranks are distinguished by a sword-shaped badge on their chest.
That’s why Team Leader Heo Yun-ji, whom I saw yesterday, couldn’t be considered a military officer even though she was a B-class.
Because there was no badge on his chest.
‘I am a person who has set aside my military status.’
Of course, Song Chi-hyun has to personally award the badge and raise the status, but all the conditions have been met.
‘Shall we start shopping?’
Items worth tens of millions of won each were neatly organized by part.
‘Take everything you need?’
I wanted to sweep it all away, but I couldn’t.
Because there was a CCTV inside.
‘If you take something you don’t need, they’ll check the CCTV and question you later.’
Since it was virtually under surveillance, stealing was impossible.
‘I should only pack what I really need.’
First, Sungmin Choi took the skill book.
[Skill – Stealth]
– Grade: B
-Effect: The body and objects that touch the body become transparent for a certain period of time.
– Duration: 10% of your reflexes (seconds)
-Cool time: 1 hour
-Usage restrictions: Class B and above
– Description: With this skill, you can become invisible. However, do not use it to satisfy personal desires. It is canceled when attacking or using a skill. If the opponent’s combat power is higher than yours, you may be discovered.
Stealth was an essential skill for an assassin.
‘Stealth is essential to maximize the weapon’s surprise bonus.’
However, the downside was that it was useless against opponents with high combat power and had a long cooldown.
‘If you consider its various uses, it’s a really useful skill.’
The difference between having and not having concealment was quite big.
‘Acquisition.’
The skill book disappeared with a bright light.
I learned stealth as expected, but I still had one more skill slot left.
It was a slot created with a transcendent trait.
‘Originally, I was going to learn stealth and poison skills.’
If I had wanted to, I could have learned the poison skill here, but I passed by the skill book corner as if I wasn’t interested.
‘You shouldn’t learn the poison skill right now.’
It would be strange to choose two skill books, and since it was a skill to be used for assassination, it needed to be hidden.
‘Because if the assassination is successful, I might end up being labeled a suspect.’
I decided to personally purchase the poison skill from the market and looked at other equipment.
Helmets, armor, gloves, shoes, rings, etc.
Among the B-class equipment, only the options with the highest agility were selected.
Tseueueueu-
When I wear them all, my reflexes increase by over 300 compared to before.
‘As expected, the equipment is good.’
The D-class wind necklace was not replaced.
Because the set effect still provides more benefits than changing the necklace.
‘When I changed the ring, the set effect’s instantaneous power also increased. The attack speed and movement speed were also adjusted to 40%.’
The result of adding up to 50 reflexes recently gained from hunting.
-Strength: 771, Stamina: 767
-Agility: 1,406, Horsepower: 2
The instantaneous power exceeded 1,400.
Of course, this was the extent of the basic effects of the gregarious instinct.
‘If there were 4 hunters around, 1,600 would have been easy.’
Additionally, it would have been better to wear A-class accessories for the sake of maintaining dignity, but I had no choice but to put it on hold.
‘If I, a B-class player, were to bring A-class equipment, I’m sure they’d think it was strange. For now, I have no choice but to be satisfied with what I have.’
Now that we had our gear aligned, it was time to adjust our skills.
‘I saw a skill level enhancement stone while passing by earlier.’
I picked up five reinforcement stones, thinking I had collected everything from the skill book to the equipment.
‘enforce.’
[Cut damage increased from 300% to 400% of reflexes!]
[Damage of Dagger Throw increased from 250% to 300% of reflexes!]
[The duration of the dash has been increased from 20 seconds to 25 seconds!]
[The damage of Neck Slash has increased from 300% to 400% of reflexes!]
[Shadow Step’s cooldown has been reduced from 120 seconds to 90 seconds!]
All C-grade skills have been upgraded to B-grade.
‘This should increase your fighting power a bit more.’
The measured figure is 100,000, but it is expected that the actual number will be over 200,000.
‘Would it be possible to assassinate Song Chi-hyeon with a fighting force of around 200,000?’
It may be lacking compared to the fighting power of Song Chi-hyeon, who has 600,000 men, but considering the advantage of a surprise attack, it is not impossible.
‘It would be easier if he was defenseless and not wearing any equipment.’
Originally, I planned to assassinate him once he became a B-class, but now that it’s right in front of me, I’m having trouble deciding.
‘If you fail, it’s all over.’
If you return having failed your mission, not only will you become useless, but even your family, who have been mortgaged to God, will perish.
‘I think we need to be a little more careful.’
Since Dokdo has not been created yet, it would be better to postpone the assassination a little longer.
“Have you chosen everything?”
As soon as he left the armory, Choi Sung-min nodded in satisfaction at the butler’s question.
“Then let’s go. The great hero is waiting.”
While following the butler, Choi Sung-min came face to face with a large man.
“Hello, Hunter.”
“Oh, okay.”
When he responded to the butler’s greeting, the man glanced at Choi Seong-min and frowned.
“f*ck.”
“… … ?”
Before I could question whether it was an insult directed at me, the man strode away.
‘What the heck? That kid.’
After a moment of doubt, Choi Sung-min arrived at Song Chi-hyeon’s office and went inside.
Of course, I didn’t forget to do mind control before going in.
“Is Choi Sung-min here?”
“Meet the great hero.”
“Let’s sit down and talk.”
As we sat down on the sofa, the butler asked as if he had been waiting for us.
“Would you like something to drink?”
“No. You’re out now.”
“All right.”
As the butler left, Song Chi-hyeon smiled at Choi Seong-min.
“Is this your first time coming to my mansion?”
“Yes, it is really fancy and nice.”
“How is it? Did you grab what you need from the armory?”
“I packed so much that I wondered if it was okay to pack this much.”
“You didn’t sweep it all away, did you?”
“Haha, that’s impossible.”
“I’ll check the CCTV later. See if there was anything you did without me knowing.”
“I swear there isn’t any, so don’t worry.”
Song Chi-hyun, who read the truth even in her heart, smiled with satisfaction.
“Yes. You are more loyal than anyone else, so there’s no way you would lie.”
“Thank you for trusting me.”
“So, what I’m saying is… …you have to do something for me.”
“What if it’s work?”
Song Chi-hyun suddenly spoke with a serious look in his eyes.
“It’s nothing special, it’s just killing people.”
