Episode 30
“I would have been killed if I hadn’t seen you catch the hyena.”
Unexpectedly, Oh Ji-ho praised my skills.
In fact, it was good to infiltrate behind the scenes.
That’s because it doesn’t touch the body.
“Because it had that much mobility, it was able to bring back rare herbs.”
I gently lifted both shoulders.
In reality, the merciless toxicity of black ether played an important role, but there was no need to provide additional explanations to the black market people.
The more it is revealed that it is a poisoner, the more people will target it.
That was the most important principle that Kirill told me.
“I’m going to be thrilled because no matter how hard I try, it won’t touch my body. “Are you a ghost?”
“It’s a person.”
He’s someone who doesn’t make jokes.
To what extent did you think the test was over?
Oh Ji-ho turned on the video playback device next to him.
Pot!
A bright light shot out onto the gloomy basement wall, and a screen that was somehow worth seeing unfolded.
“Now is not the time to discuss technology. Learning how to use your body comes first. Even elementary school girls fighting would be better than your moves.”
I don’t know what to do with the repeated compliments.
f*ck.
“Please repeat these movements whenever you have time. It seems that not only does it have healing abilities, but it also has a ‘rigid body’ like the knight type… … . If possible, I recommend repeating the operation with the ether fully activated.”
If you become a master, will your eyesight also get better?
It seems he already knows that I have the body of a ‘D’ rank knight.
“oh… … .”
Usually, when we think of repetitive training, we think of a tedious process.
However, none of Oh Ji-ho’s movements in the video were the same from beginning to end.
From the fingertips to the elbows, down from the shoulders, to movements using the waist and feet.
As each movement continues, you naturally use your whole body.
“omg… … . omg… … .”
When I followed the movements with Black Ether activated, my stamina was drained in less than 10 minutes.
It seems like an insignificant movement, but why is it so difficult?
“It’s because I lack the knack of using my body. “No matter how strong a man is, if he is suddenly forced to do hard work, he will not be very efficient.”
“Whew. I don’t know anything else, but I can guess what my movements looked like before. “To the teacher.”
“teacher… … ?”
A small wave appears in Oh Ji-ho’s dark eyebrows.
“yes. What’s wrong with you, teacher? Whatever you teach, you are a teacher. Or, should I call you Master or Master or something?”
“no. That’s it.”
After saying that, Oh Ji-ho turned off the device and handed it to me.
“From now on, always keep this equipment nearby and practice with it. “There is no transfer of skills until the body movements are completely familiar.”
“Don’t be mean, just teach me next time.”
“It’s not possible.”
“shit. You said you learned the technique from a yaksha, right? “How long did it take you, teacher?”
“It took me 10 years to learn the basic movements.”
“I’m going crazy.”
When are you sitting there for 10 years?
For the first time, I think about just hitting it off.
Oh Ji-ho asked me while I was frowning.
“My father calls me that carelessly, but he keeps calling me teacher.”
“Why is that? “If you want, I can speak informally to both of you.”
“… … That’s it.”
With those words, the first fighting class ended.
* * *
“oh my! Who is this! S-Rank Hunter!”
I turn around at the sound of a brave voice and see a familiar face.
“long time no see.”
A black market pickpocket with stealth skills.
It’s a dagger.
Her red hair and facial features were still beautiful, but the scar around her mouth was sad.
“The article was full of stories about you. Is it okay to enter the black market like this?”
“I don’t care about that. If I want to come, I come. “I also talked to reporters at the test site.”
“what?”
“There will be no interviews for the time being.”
“wow. “You ride the crooked line properly from the start?”
Bisu smiles provocatively and taps my shoulder.
I looked at her closely and then asked.
“Are you playing these days?”
“uh? What are you talking about?”
“I feel like my cheeks have become plump.”

“This bastard has things he can’t say to a woman… … .”
Bisu swung his fist, and I easily dodged it.
“There’s no work these days. I think I was busiest when I was following you around the Poison Dungeon. And now is a time to be especially careful.”
“careful?”
“uh. Recently, a lot of dungeons have been popping up. In times like these, you have to be even more careful. “Because there is a high probability of encountering a dungeon where the ‘wall’ collapses.”
“hmm.”
The ‘wall’ falls.
That means that another world unfolds within the dungeon.
This is the so-called secondary dungeon.
The secondary dungeon is difficult to identify even with the Hunter Association’s state-of-the-art equipment, and is recognized as an emergency as soon as it occurs.
This is because the difficulty of the dungeon rises rapidly as the level of the monsters increases significantly.
Additionally, when a certain amount of time passes in the secondary dungeon, a gate opens above the dungeon.
For that reason, when a secondary dungeon occurs, not only the guild in charge, but also all hunters in the surrounding area who can sortie are dispatched.
“No matter how important it is to make money, you can’t go into unauthorized areas in these times. so… … .”
“Your cheeks have become plump.”
“Cheeks are chubby… … Do you really want to rummage?”
Seeing Bisu running around and making a fuss made me feel relieved.
The image of me shedding tears as I broke up with my sister stayed in my mind for quite a long time.
Looking at his brave face, I think he is living well.
“How was Hwanhyeok’s class?”
“hmm… … . “If I were to express it in one sentence, how do I feel like I was cheated?”
“Hi-Hi. “I think I know what you mean.”
Bisu, who was flustered, suddenly raises his index finger.
“Shall I give you a tip?”
“tip?”
“huh. “Tips on techniques used by Hwan-gyeok.”
“… … “How do you know that?”
“I don’t know exactly. hmm… … . Should I say it’s a kind of instinct?”
“Ah. “Okay, I’ll be back next week, so take care of yourself.”
“hey! Are you ignoring me? “Is this really a solid tip?”
It’s not something to ignore, it’s a tip.
You have to scrape it gently like this to get the bone marrow out.
Otherwise, this attractive woman might ask for something in return for the tip.
“I don’t have any expectations, but let’s see.”
“You unlucky bastard. “I guess I’ll just keep my mouth shut.”
Even as Bisu said that, he put his face close to mine.
“I think there’s something to Hwangyeok’s technique.”
… … Should I kill him?
Of course, there is something, so the E ranker beats the B ranker.
However, some fascinating words follow.
“Every time Huangyeok uses a skill, a poisonous scent comes out.”
“Poison… … !!”
A psychoactive substance created by processing plants growing in the Poison Dungeon.
Simply put, drugs.
Why do I smell that scent when Oh Ji-ho uses a technique?
“It’s not exactly a scent… … What can I say, there is a unique feeling? Anyway, it’s not just a fight, it seems like there’s something invisible.”
It’s something other than physical force.
After listening to Bisu’s words, there was something that caught my eye.
The source of the abilities used by Espers.
Telekinesis.
When telekinesis is added to physical power, the ability increases exponentially.
You can tell just by looking at how rare hunters with both abilities are and how much they are praised.
indeed.
Only at that level can you surpass your original rank.
“Is it pretty? “I thought there was nothing you could do other than hiding.”
“Ugh. I knew it would be like this. Instead of saying thank you, you say something like that… … . “I am a fool.”
“Hehe. “Take this.”
I took out a paper bag from my pocket and gave it to Bisu.
“oh! “Is it money?”
“no. letter. “My sister told me she was going to the black market and told me to tell her.”
“oh… … .”
Bisu’s twinkling eyes suddenly turn blurry.
It is easy to see that the change did not come from ‘disappointment’.
Bisu held his sister’s letter tightly in one hand and then waved at me.
A challenging friend.
See you next time.
* * *
Telekinesis.
It is the power that forms the basis of Esper.
The ability to radiate ether within the body to the outside and change it into a special substance.
If a top-level knight can slaughter everything in sight, a top-level esper can burn hundreds of monsters to death with a single wave of his hand.
If, as Bisu said, telekinesis is added to Oh Ji-ho’s fighting skills, then ultimately, I also have to acquire skills through telekinesis… … .
“Where do you summon telekinetic powers that don’t exist?”
-Keeeeek.
As the monster was dying before my eyes, I let out a short sigh.
Developing telekinesis is not as simple as buying something you don’t have at a convenience store.
It’s like having to awaken twice to learn a different type of skill.
Oh Ji-ho said he came to the black market and learned skills, so it seems like there is a way.
“Hwaap!”
A young man with brown hair, waving a stylish cape, causes an electric shock.
Puzzle!
Some of the small wyverns that were floating in the air in a group fell to the ground.
hmm.
Espers are a very comfortable people.
If you just stand still like this and make a noise like ‘Yay!’, the monsters will die on their own.
“haha! Hunter Haeseon Cheon! Just wait! “I’ll clean it up soon!”
Lee Ye-chan, a new hunter like me, clenches one hand and shows his motivation.
He is a promising esper who received a ‘C’ rank from the start.
Is it a bit harsh to say that someone older than me is promising?
Well anyway.
He signed a contract with the small ‘Orenoton’ guild, and was a man who wanted to be the head of a snake rather than the tail of a dragon.
One of the reasons why he chose the ‘Orenoton’ guild is that there are many young talent in it.
Since the number of awakened people is quite high, I have an ambition to gain experience and take the ‘B’ rank exam next year.
How do you know so well?
This is because from the moment I entered until now, he has been babbling next to me non-stop.
At first, even when he pretended to listen, when he looked the other way, when he ignored me, and even when I told him to shut up, he always fluttered his mouth.
I feel like I’m going crazy after two hours of listening to you say that being with you is an infinite honor for me and the ‘Orenoton’ guild.
“Hwaap!”
Fazizik.
Although it is a 3-star (★★★) difficulty dungeon, there is no problem in catching the boss mob.
Originally, today’s members consisted of a large number of existing hunters from ‘Orenoton’.
Two newly contracted new hunters and seven existing members.
And there is one new S-ranker hunter who has no choice but to complete the probationary period.
As it was a pot with four ‘B’ rankers, there were no special issues in clearing the dungeon.
“Oh my, it hurts! “Can you help me heal this?”
“… … Just put a band-aid on it.”
To top it off, there are people who intentionally get scratched by monsters and come looking for me.
What an honor to receive healing from an S-class hunter.
Well, no matter what, it is a leisurely schedule.
The composition of the members was too flashy compared to the difficulty of the dungeon, and all I had to do was heal the wounded who appeared like beans in a drought.
Since we work in a guild, there is no one asking for ‘protection fees’ like last time.
“Die!”
Although there was the inconvenience of having to constantly listen to that idiot esper’s yelling, this was a peaceful dungeon.
After confirming the end of the boss mob, we turned towards the dungeon entrance.
“Hunter Cheon Hae-seon. “This is also our fate, so why don’t we have a company dinner together today?!”
“is it so. “You were with our guild, so it would be a shame if things continued like this!”
“Hunter. If you don’t mind, I’d like to add a photo to my account… … !!”
I politely declined their request with a smile.
Now that we’ve each achieved our goals, let’s go our separate ways.
I have to go home and do those damn moves again… … !
“huh?”
However, all the ‘Orenoton’ people heading towards the dungeon entrance stopped.
By the time I approached them, walking slowly at the back, all the hunters’ faces had already hardened.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Hunter Cheon Hae-seon… … .”
Their anxious eyes point to one place.
The entrance to the dungeon covered in something dark.
This entrance, which could be accessed without having to kill the boss mob, was completely blocked.
“Big deal… … “I think so.”
Warrrrrrrrr.
As soon as the party leader said anything, the ground began to collapse.
