Episode 155
Large men lie on the ground and face each other.
Normally, arm wrestling would take place on a desk or table, but when an S-rank hunter gets involved, a regular table cannot withstand their force and shatters.
Two men find the firmest surface and lie down.
B-ranker Yuk Cheol-wan of ‘Irregular’ and S-ranker Jang Ki-hoo of ‘Trinity’.
Normally, when an S-ranker and a B-ranker engage in arm wrestling, people are more concerned about whether the B-ranker’s biceps will remain than whether he wins or loses.
But for some reason, Cheon Hae-seon proposed the match, and even chose a helicopter worth well over billions as the subject of the bet.
‘What would my sister say if she found out?’
I’m sure he thought he was a gambling addict and grabbed his hair.
As Cheon Hae-seon was lost in imagination and grinning, Kang Jeong-hyeon asked Chen with concern.
“Chen. Can Uncle Cheolwan really win?”
The reason I asked Chen was not different.
Because he’s a man who doesn’t know how to lie.
If you had asked Bisu or Maria, they would have told a white lie, saying they would win even if they thought they would lose.
“You lose.”
“!”
Although he was mentally prepared, Kang Jeong-hyeon’s face was filled with sorrow.
“… … But you can win.”
“yes?”
“The Yuk Cheol-Wan we have seen in the dungeon so far is absolutely not at the B-rank level. But you see Jang Ki-hoo over there. “The ether he possesses is definitely slightly ahead of Yuk Cheol Wan.”
“then… … .”
Why did you say that Yuk Cheol-wan could win?
When Kang Jeong-hyeon gave him that look, Chen scratched the back of his head.
“The reason I said there was a chance of victory was not because of Yuk Cheol-wan, but because of Cheon Hae-seon and that guy.”
“Hunter Cheon Hae-seon?”
“okay. “You can tell by watching, but is that guy the type of person who will laugh and give you money just because he lost a bet?”
Kang Jeong-hyeon hesitated, but shook his head.
“no… … .”
“Then there must be something. “Something I can’t see right now.”
I don’t know what it is, but I hope it’s something tangible.
Kang Jeong-hyeon said that and clasped his hands together.
When he borrowed money from a private loan shark, Yuk Cheol-wan, who saved him from the office, was Superman himself.
Regardless of his power, to Kang Jeong-hyeon, Yuk Cheol-wan was a man like Taesan who supported him mentally.
I really didn’t want to see someone like that defeated and ridiculed in front of everyone.
‘Hunter Cheon Hae-seon… … Surely Uncle Cheolwan can win… … ?’
With the signal announcing the start of the match, Kang Jeong-hyeon’s hand tightened.
* * *
“Ooooooooo!! Cheer up, Yuk Cheol-wan!!”
Watching Bisu struggle before even starting, Cheon Hae-seon made a suggestion to Song Woo-sang.
“Brother Song. “Even though he’s noisy and not buff, I’ll just send him home.”
“… … .”
However, Song Woo-sang did not respond in particular.
I didn’t use the silence as a positive sign, but because I kept getting tired of it.
‘This bastard has tens of billions of dollars coming and going, doesn’t he feel nervous?’
Even though victory was certain, it was not a situation to just lie down.
It’s a bet with a lot of money at stake.
However, Cheon Hae-seon was enjoying the competition itself, as if he were playing marbles in the neighborhood.
‘Why am I doing this all of a sudden? … .’
The referee for this arm wrestling match was Lee Hyuk-geon, the representative of ‘Volcano’.
Now, not only the Irregular and Trinity, but even Volcano’s guild members have gathered together.
Because it was quite an exciting attraction, hunters were seen filming videos with cell phones or devices.
Naturally, the two hunters ahead of the match were quite nervous.
‘I’m sure I’ll lose… … If I lose, my life as a hunter will be over.’
Jang Ki-hoo glanced around and smiled rottenly.
He activated his ether as if he had just descended from a helicopter, and his already massive muscles bulged as if they were about to explode.
“Oh!”
It was truly a body that was worthy of admiration from the perspective of those watching.
Yuk Cheol-wan also had a muscular body, but Jang Ki-hoo looked like someone who had just returned from winning the world bodybuilding competition.
The size of the hand also seemed to be one knuckle larger than the six-pointed iron arm.
For one reason or another, from a visual standpoint, it was a situation where I didn’t think Jang Ki-hoo would lose at all.
“It’s a single piece. “Please hold my hand.”
What kind of judgment is this?
There was a lot of work to be done since the gate had opened in the jurisdiction, but Lee Hyuk-geon could not refuse the role of ‘referee’.
On one side was ‘Trinity’, which can be said to be the representative guild of the Chungcheongnam-do region, and on the other side were the great ‘Irregulars’.
In a situation like this, it is impossible to back out and say, ‘We have a lot of work to do.’
“Isn’t this a very one-sided game?”
“Hey. “Just in case, don’t pay attention.”
“… … you… … .”

Even the fellow ‘Volcano’ hunters seemed to be enjoying the current battle, putting everything aside.
Lee Hyuk-geon sighed softly and put pressure on his hands to center them.
And soon, he shouted briefly and loudly.
“start!”
Quaaaaaaaaa.
“Oh oh!”
A clash of ethers, too much to be called arm wrestling, follows.
In particular, Jang Ki-hoo’s muscles swelled as if they were about to burst.
“wow!”
“Unbelievable… … !!”
But it wasn’t his enormous forearms that made people exclaim in admiration.
Yuk Cheol-wan, who thought he would not be able to hold on and collapse at any moment, was silently receiving Jang Ki-hoo’s strength… … !
‘no?!’
In particular, Song Woo-sang’s eyes were almost on the verge of popping out.
1 second. No, the confrontation was going smoothly, ignoring expectations that it would end in less time than that.
He made eye contact with Cheon Hae-seon for a split second, and immediately sent a message to his mind.
‘f*ck, what the hell is going on?’
Cheon Hae-seon was smiling with his eyes wide open, as if he knew this would happen.
‘Of course it should be so. ‘How much time have you been training?’
Where does ‘training time’ start and end?
Usually, the time spent vigorously moving the body or sweating is measured.
If you want to exaggerate your hard work, you may even include the time spent traveling to and from the training ground.
In that sense, the time Yuk Cheol-wan has trained so far can be summarized in exactly four words.
‘All day’
There was no difference between day and night when it came to receiving the dagger’s buff into my body.
From when I wake up in the morning and wash my face, to when I brush my teeth before going to bed and force myself to sleep.
Even the moment I dreamed of writhing in pain was part of my training.
Other hunters may not know, but Cheon Hae-seon knew very well how shitty it was.
Before becoming a hunter, when my entire body was consumed by a monster’s poison.
Cheon Hae-seon would ponder countless times every day whether he should take his own life.
Every time that happened, Cheon Hae-seon remembered his sister’s face, and only the target was different, and Yuk Cheol-wan also remembered someone else’s face.
Some say he devoted himself to training except for eating and sleeping, but for Yuk Cheol-wan, even those times were continuous training.
Continuing to have the energy of someone other than myself.
And to finally make it a part of oneself was something worthy of respect.
Quaaaaaaaaa.
“Tsk… … !!”
Something similar to a moan came out of Jang Ki-hoo’s mouth.
It was a voice that came out not because of exertion, but because the current situation was unbelievable.
At first, I only used 50% of my strength.
It was enough for me to use just that much strength, and I thought it was pathetic to use all my strength against a B-ranker.
However, Yuk Cheol-wan’s hand, which he thought would hit rock bottom soon, was holding on as firmly as Mount Tai.
60%,
70%,
90%,
Jang Ki-hoo, whose strength increased, gradually increased his intensity, but Yuk Cheol-wan did not put the back of his hand on the ground, even though he was sweating heavily.
Of course, that did not mean that Jang Ki-hoo was inferior.
Compared to when I first started, my arms are more than half gone.
However, Jang Ki-hu’s face was distorted even more horribly than when he was held in the troll’s giant grip.
One hundred percent.
Jang Ki-hoo was already pouring in all his strength.
Quaaaaa.
‘This crazy guy… … .’
Trinity’s representative, Song Woo-sang.
His face was as hot as Jang Ki-hoo.
In fact, if you look at his earlobes alone, they looked redder than Jang Ki-hoo.
At first it seemed like I was just playing around with it, but now I see that wasn’t the case.
Since they had been on the battlefield together for a long time, Song Woo-sang knew well the expression on Jang Ki-hoo’s face when he was giving his all.
A child’s behavior when writing a dragon was revealed, such as slightly sticking out the upper lip and covering the lower lip.
Of course, there were only a few hunters who fully understood what it was like.
The time when Jang Ki-hoo gave his all meant that the other hunters were already going between life and death.
But strangely enough, Jang Ki-hoo was now acting in such a unique way.
In an arm wrestling bet against a B-rank hunter… … !!
Song Woo-sang eventually couldn’t bear it anymore and screamed.
“Finish it quickly, you bastard!”
“Sigh.”
Surprisingly, it was not Jang Ki-hoo but Yuk Cheol-wan who responded to Song Woo-sang’s voice.
Jang Ki-hoo had already used up all his efforts, so there was nothing more he could do.
Quick.
The force was so intense that the ground where the two hunters rested their elbows began to crack.
Even though he was deliberately forced to arm wrestle on the hardest ground, he was unable to withstand it.
Even as he wondered if he had ever used this much strength in his life, Yuk Cheol-wan recalled a conversation from a little while ago.
-The buff you received from the beast is still wandering around, right?
-yes?
-It’s a bit hard to use for arm wrestling, but try solving what the guy made here.
-!
I thought no one knew.
Even if it is a world-class paradise.
Yuk Cheol-Wan finally accepted Bisu’s buff into his body, but it was not completely fused.
All I did was spread the ether I had throughout my body and make my whole body stronger.
He endured truly hellish times until that process, and Yuk Cheol-wan reached the point where he could freely move Bisu’s buff.
‘The fact that it can be sprayed all over the body means that it can also be concentrated in one place.’
One day, Yuk Cheol-wan woke up with an idea, as if he had attained enlightenment.
And now.
The time has come to reveal to the world ‘that’ that no one thought would know, but that only Cheon Hae-seon was aware of.
Buuuung.
“?!”
From the elbows resting on the ground to the tips of the fingers.
Something silver began to surround Yuk Cheolwan’s thick arms.
“Tsk… … ?!”
Jang Ki-hoo thought he was distracted by the light and couldn’t concentrate.
After the brilliant silver light came out, my arms were being pushed back little by little.
But, unfortunately, it was just a simple happy circuit.
Jang Ki-hu was actually retreating from strength to strength.
Something silver shining on Yuk Cheol-wan’s arm took shape as it took shape.
talent… … this… … urg… … .
With a discordant sound, Jang Ki-hoo’s arm gradually rises upward.
Just like climbing a mountain and then descending, you now begin to fall back towards the ground.
‘Nonsense!!!!’
If Song Woo-sang and Jang Ki-hoo had spoken out what was in their hearts, they might have sung in unison.
They screamed at the same time and had the same expression.
‘This is the afterimage that remained on my arm.’
I knew about it to some extent, but it was my first time seeing the real thing.
Cheon Hae-seon, who had been teasing Song Woo-sang with a bright face, finally returned to her original face.
He now truly had respect for Yuk Cheolwan.
Not only did the B-rank knight leap to S-rank, but he was also preparing for another flight.
“wow!”
Bisu and Kang Jeong-hyeon exclaim in admiration as they see the perfectly shaped silver ether.
A large silver glove that covers the entire arm.
The so-called Argentum Gauntlet.
If the ether changes into something else, people call it an ‘esper’.
The buff delivered by Bisu has now clearly changed into a different form, and if Yukcheolwan, who was originally a knight, brought about the change in Ether, the following conclusion can be drawn.
“Multi-talents… … .”
Cheon Hae-seon muttered quietly,
bang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With a loud noise, the back of Jang Ki-hoo’s hand dug into the ground.
