Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter Part 2 Episode 102
102. Test
Kwak Min-cheol couldn’t help but laugh inwardly.
‘What? 800,000 combat power? Is this kid messing with me?’
Kwak Min-cheol did not believe Choi Seong-min’s words at face value.
Shouldn’t you believe something if you say something trustworthy?
‘A combat power of 250,000 became 800,000 in less than two weeks? Are you expecting me to believe that?’
It’s hard to believe that it went from 20,000 to 250,000, but now it’s 800,000?
I was so angry that I couldn’t believe it, but Choi Sungmin’s expression was serious.
As if it were real.
‘Should I believe this novel nonsense or not?’
Objectively speaking, this level of growth is absurd.
‘No matter how S-class the trait is, there is a limit to its growth. No matter how good the weapon is, it cannot go beyond A-class level.’
This means that it is objectively impossible to increase from 250,000 to 800,000 in two weeks.
‘But it doesn’t seem like a lie when you confidently ask me to test it… ‘
Who would dare to lie to himself?
‘If you don’t believe it, just test it like the guy says.’
How should we test it?
The corners of Kwak Min-cheol’s mouth slightly rose as he pondered.
‘Yeah, that sounds good.’
* * *
A-class hunter Lee Geul-ryun was not in a good mood today.
It was because I heard something from Kwak Min-cheol over the phone.
‘Damn, who would have thought that would happen to me?’
In just two nights, three human trafficking gangs were completely destroyed.
For Lee Geul-ryun, who was in charge of running the human trafficking ring, this was shocking news.
’31 workers and 21 hunters died. 70 items were also released… … .’
In monetary terms, it could not have been anything other than a huge loss.
‘If only I hadn’t played with the stuff back then… … .’
If I hadn’t been so indulged in pleasure at the time, and if I had just checked the reason for the delayed delivery, this wouldn’t have happened.
‘I don’t know who did it, but it’s clear that they moved as an organization.’
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been destroyed so quickly.
‘Damn, at this rate I won’t be able to face Senior Yang Baek-du.’
For him, who had been taught business by Yang Baek-du, this could not have been anything but an embarrassing mistake.
‘How can something like this happen when you’ve only been in charge of operations for so long…?’
Even if Kwak Min-cheol abandoned him and put someone else in his place, he had nothing to say.
‘It can’t just collapse like this. Where did I get the position I was in… …!’
We must make up for it with a good show and appease Kwak Min-cheol.
Just as I was wondering how to make it up to him, the phone rang.
It was none other than Kwak Min-cheol.
“Yes, Great Hero!”
– Bring all the A-class hunters currently in the dorm and gather in the yard immediately. We will arrive soon.
“I will obey your orders.”
Lee Geul-ryun tilted his head after hanging up the phone.
‘Why the sudden summons order?’
I don’t know why I was summoned, but I had no choice but to do it.
Lee Geul-ryun contacted the team members who were currently resting at their accommodations.
After a while, the team members gathered in front of Lee Geul-ryun.
“Did you call?”
“Let’s go. The great hero is calling.”
The team members walked with nervous faces without knowing why.
We came out into the yard and waited for Kwak Min-cheol while standing in a line.
Soon after, a limousine pulled up in front of the hotel.
As soon as Kwak Min-cheol gets off, Lee Geul-ryun bows and starts singing.
“Welcome, Great Hero!”
“Welcome, Great Hero!”
The rest of the hunters shouted the same thing and bowed down like folders.
It was a scene reminiscent of welcoming a gang leader.
“Oh, okay.”
When Kwak Min-cheol waved his hand lightly, the hunters all raised their upper bodies.
This is what Lee Geul-ryun said as a representative.
“As you commanded, I have gathered all the A-class Hunters in the inn!”
“How many people?”
“There are a total of 10 people, Team A1 and Team A2.”
“So there are 11 people including you?”
“Yes!”
Kwak Min-cheol, who was looking around at the hunters, suddenly introduced the person next to him.
“This is the new employee who came in today.”

Seongmin Choi was quick to introduce himself first.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Choi Sung-min, a Class A hunter.”
But Lee Geul-ryun’s expression wasn’t very good.
‘What the heck? Did you call us here to introduce us to this kind of X-food?’
When new recruits came in, Kwak Min-cheol would naturally introduce them, but this was the first time he had lined up all the hunters and introduced them.
As I was looking at Kwak Min-cheol and Choi Seong-min with puzzled eyes, Kwak Min-cheol answered my question.
“I called you for no other reason than to test this guy.”
“If it’s a test… … ?”
“It’s a test of skill. Eleven people, including you, will face this guy one by one.”
“yes?”
For a moment, Lee Geul-ryun thought he had heard wrong.
“So you’re saying we should fight one-on-one?”
“Well, if you look at it one way, it’s like an 11 to 1 fight.”
’11 to 1?’
Lee Geul-ryun, who had been making a blank expression, looked at Choi Seong-min once again.
‘Is that newbie that strong?’
I’ve had them spar with each other occasionally to test their skills, but this was the first time I’d ordered them to spar with each other 11 to 1.
‘Of course, it’s better than attacking them all at once since it’s a one-on-one duel, but… … .’
For a newbie who had to deal with eleven people, it could be considered a harsh treatment.
“Excuse me… Great Hero? Is it really okay for me to stick with you? I feel like the balance is off…?”
The hunter team currently called in is the best among the A-class.
All ten of them are worth between 400,000 and 500,000.
This wheel’s combat power was 550,000, the highest among his direct subordinates.
I don’t know how strong the newcomer in front of me is, but he was no match for me.
‘Even if it’s one-on-one, there’s no way I can win against eleven people.’
Rather, I am worried that it might discourage the spirit of new employees who have just joined.
But Kwak Min-cheol looked like he had nothing to worry about.
“Don’t worry. Considering this guy’s fighting prowess, the balance is right.”
“How much is the fighting power… … .”
“They claim to be 800,000.”
“8, 800,000… …!?”
The hunters began to murmur at the astonishing numbers.
‘800,000 is an overwhelming number even among us, right?’
It was surprising that it surpassed not only his direct subordinates but even the current great hero, Song Chi-hyeon.
But that was only for a moment.
A smirk appeared on the hunters’ faces.
This also made Lee Geul-ryun laugh.
That was because I searched the name in the ranking.
‘The guy who says he has 250,000 on the ranking actually has 800,000? That’s ridiculous.’
It was an absurd growth rate for something that happened in less than two weeks.
‘You’re joking because you can’t confirm it.’
It was natural to be incredulous as the growth was unprecedented.
‘Besides, the great hero said that he called himself that.’
That means that Kwak Min-cheol also doubts the guy’s fighting ability.
‘So they want to use us to test it out.’
A sneer appeared on the corner of Lee Geul-ryun’s mouth.
Finally, the opportunity to make up for his mistakes has arrived.
‘If I can properly beat this kid and expose his lies, I’m sure the Great Hero will be satisfied.’
It was a chance for Kwak Min-cheol to score points.
Other hunters thought the same thing.
“I was worrying for nothing. 800,000 is more than enough to deal with the eleven of us.”
Although he said that, there was a clear sneer on the faces of Yi-Ryun and the hunters.
‘What is the X?’
‘You’re being sarcastic! F**k.’
‘Where did the newbie dare to come from?’
‘I’ll beat you up while I’m at it.’
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the spot, waiting for the sparring to begin.
“Then let’s have a duel right here. However, I don’t want to see you die, so I will refrain from using any equipment or skills.”
The idea was to take off all items and train using only the power of the pure body.
“All right.”
The hunters, including Lee Geul-ryun, nodded in agreement.
“Are you okay too?”
Choi Seong-min also nodded to Kwak Min-cheol’s question.
“It’s okay. However, I would like to change the conditions. They are out of balance.”
Kwak Min-cheol snickered at those words.
“Well, it would be difficult to deal with eleven people alone.”
“No, it’s just that it’s too easy.”
“What? Easy?”
“Yes. One-on-one is too easy. I’d rather take on eleven people at the same time.”
The hunters were all surprised by the bold words.
Kwak Min-cheol asked again with surprised eyes.
“Are you trying to take on eleven people at once?”
“Yes.”
“That’s overconfident.”
Someone muttered something like that.
Although no one said anything, everyone thought the same thing.
Even if the fighting power is 800,000, it is impossible to deal with 400,000 to 500,000 eleven people at the same time.
It has to be at least S-class to be worth a try.
It was only natural that the hunters had sneers on their faces.
‘They say a puppy doesn’t know how scary a tiger is… ‘
‘With a combat power of around 800,000, do you think you can win even if you fight them at the same time?’
‘You cheeky brat. I’ll show you firsthand how scary a raccoon is.’
Although everyone was gnashing their teeth, Choi Sung-min wasn’t finished talking yet.
“As you said, I will not use any items or skills. However, please allow the eleven people who fight with me to use all of them.”
“What?”
Kwak Min-cheol looked surprised again and asked back.
“Are you saying that you will bear the penalty alone now?”
“Yes. Other people can use whatever weapons and skills they want. I think we’ll still win easily.”
The moment they heard those words, the smiles disappeared from the hunters’ faces.
Instead of laughter, what took its place was none other than anger.
‘Is that kid crazy?’
‘How dare you ignore us?’
‘You’re so desperate to get out of bed?’
No matter how great you are, you’re going to fight me unarmed.
The hunters’ reaction to the absurd conditions was cold.
Kwak Min-cheol also thought that this was not the case.
“You want to use your skills on your weapon and fight them at the same time? If you do it wrong, you could die.”
“It’s okay. I’m confident that not a single drop of blood will be shed.”
“You don’t know, but the guys here are considered top-tier among my direct subordinates. Their combat power is said to be close to 500,000. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that, so withdraw now.”
“I think this is the level I need to reach to test my skills.”
I told him twice but he still wouldn’t listen.
Kwak Min-cheol, who thought he had done enough, let go of both hands.
“Okay. If you really want, I’ll change the conditions as you say. Did you all hear that? You may wear your gear.”
As if they had been waiting, the hunters put on their armor.
There were various weapons in their hands.
“Prepare for sparring.”
Eleven hunters surrounded Choi Seong-min.
As promised, Choi Sung-min did not wear even a single piece of armor.
There was no weapon in hand.
He intended to fight the hunters with only his pure physical abilities.
‘You idiot. Why are you bringing trouble on yourself for no reason?’
For some reason, Kwak Min-cheol felt sorry for Choi Seong-min.
This is what Lee Ryun said before the sparring.
“Don’t be so scared. I won’t kill you.”
“Aren’t you scared? And you have to do your best without thinking about what others will think. I’m stronger than I look.”
A vein appeared on Igeolryun’s forehead.
“You cheeky brat. Don’t blame me later.”
The hunters aimed their weapons with ominous eyes.
Even if I didn’t kill him, I was planning on taking at least one limb.
It’s so tightly wrapped that there’s no way to escape.
Kwak Min-cheol shook his head silently.
The results aren’t out yet, but it was obvious even without looking.
‘I won’t be able to hold out for even a second before my limbs are cut off.’
Judging from the looks in his subordinates’ eyes, it wasn’t an atmosphere that could be tolerated.
‘Then why are you needlessly scratching my pride? Tsk.’
Since he said he didn’t want to see me die, his subordinates won’t kill me.
‘It’s a shame though. The subordinate I finally found is such a brat.’
Kwak Min-cheol shouted, anticipating Choi Seong-min’s defeat.
“Start sparring!”
It was a bit awkward to even call it a duel.
Eleven armed men could not possibly lose to one unarmed man.
Even if your combat power is 800,000, your stats will clearly be limited without equipment.
It was obvious that it would be a one-sided fight.
however.
The situation went differently than Kwak Min-cheol expected.
Puppup …
With a scream, the hunters fell like fallen autumn leaves.
It didn’t take long for Kwak Min-cheol’s eyes to widen.
“… … Uh, how?”
As expected, the fight ended one-sidedly.
The person standing there was different from what I expected.
“Is this enough for the test?”
Among the groaning hunters, the only one standing was Choi Seong-min.
