Episode 9
There are a total of three devices I received from Dr. Jin.
One of them was a cornea-mounted device like the one Kirill gave me.
Dr. Jin removed the device attached to my eye and installed an upgraded model.
A practical version of the prototype we had before.
Perhaps that is why content that had not been seen before was marked.
<User information>
<Black Ether Possession: 1557>
<Body enhancement ability: ‘E’>
<Self-healing ability: ‘S’>
“oh… … .”
I knew that my current body was at the level of a low-level knight.
However, after wearing the new device, it seemed that not only my physical abilities but also my healing abilities were reflected.
Even though it cannot resolve most of the toxins in the body, it has the ability to heal itself.
How on earth did my body come to be?
And what is the poisoner class level?
There were many things I wanted to ask, but I had already left Dr. Jin’s house(?).
There is no way to contact him for the time being until he informs us of his new residence.
You have no choice but to find out for yourself.
When I get home, I plan to conduct some kind of test.
If I get my way, I can make myself ‘visible’ as a healer.
In order to do that, this guy’s role right now will be more important than anything else.
“Can you do well?”
– Kuwang.
Pori flaps his wings and roars as if telling people not to doubt him.
… … It’s too ridiculous to call it a roar.
When Kirill just woke up, he said he had red spots all over his body, just like me.
What this means is that she also could not completely control the toxicity in her body.
Surprisingly, Pori ate up all of her remaining poison.
Considering the strength she showed, I can’t even imagine how massive it must have been.
Therefore, the following conclusion can be drawn:
The amount of poison that Pori can absorb is virtually infinite.
The reason his nose is so high as the sky is probably because of that confidence.
“I was wondering whether I should tell you this or not… … .」
Before saying goodbye, Dr. Jin told me one thing.
He said that he was the one who created the framework of the communication network used by hunters in the past.
Although there was a change in format, Dr. Jin was able to peek into the contents of the transmission between the Hunter Association and the guild if he wanted to.
“Of course, I haven’t had any use for it in the meantime. “If your tail is long, you’re bound to get stepped on, and I’m sick of being a hunter.”
However, it is said that Dr. Jin felt intense curiosity about the unprecedented dual gate incident.
He checked the transmission and reception details between the Glory Guild and the Hunter Association in the relevant jurisdiction, and the contents were as follows.
“Contrary to what was known, the damage caused by the poison task force deployed to Gupa-dong was minimal. “Even if it was late, if we had been deployed to the open building, the damage could have been prevented by half.”
「… … !!」
That was a kind of confirmed kill for me.
The media’s report that this was an unavoidable event that occurred at the same time was an outright lie.
Even though they could have used a little more force, they abandoned the open building, and the association tolerated this.
Rather than weighing people’s lives, they threw one side out.
There is only one reason why they abandoned the open building.
This was because it was an area where there was no money.
“Sometimes I think humans are scarier than monsters.”
– Kuwang.
Pori nods his head loudly as if to say, ‘You said something well.’
I came down Cheonggyesan Mountain, stroking his head.
* * *
Seoul, where land is expensive.
Among them, Cheongdam-dong is famous for being the land of gold ssas.
The Glory Guild’s headquarters, ‘Glory Tower’, was located there.
A large and magnificent new building built using only expensive materials.
They appear to be showing off that they are the highest power group in Korea.
Two men are sitting in the reception room of ‘Glory Tower’.
“You did a really good job. CEO. thank you for the invitation.”
A thin reporter with gray hair bows his head toward the handsome man.
The man across from me appears to be only in his 30s.
The age difference between them seemed to be about fifteen, but neither of them cared about that.
The head of the Glory Guild.
And the best tank knight in Korea.
This is because the man in front of me was the representative of Koo Geon, who is praised as a national treasure.
“Hehehe. He says all kinds of things. I hope that our Glory Guild’s sincerity is conveyed.”
“I’m sure it will happen.”

Gu Geon-i conducted an interview with the editor-in-chief of Joongan Ilbo for an hour.
An abnormal situation that occurred recently.
It was related to Duel Gate, in which Poison Monster appeared.
As Goo Geon’s position was a position, Joongan Ilbo could not send someone of mediocre position.
It was a gesture of sincerity that the old editor-in-chief came to visit in person, and they maintained a friendly relationship.
Media and large corporations.
It was a group that absolutely needed to become friends.
“I’m serious… … . Sincerity… … .”
Even after leaving Glory Tower, the editor-in-chief repeated the same words.
Sincerity.
The editor-in-chief knew exactly what Goo Geon meant when he said it.
During the last Duel Gate, the Glory Guild did their best, and the deaths of the victims were inevitable.
It must be something like that.
It doesn’t matter what the inside story was or what the ‘truth’ was.
Goo Geon wanted sincerity, not truth, and the editor-in-chief will only write about sincerity from now on.
Advertisements for the Glory Guild appear in Joongan Ilbo’s newspaper and webpage every day.
A huge amount, over 30% of total advertising revenue.
At this level, even if you are not the editor-in-chief but the editor-in-chief’s grandfather, you have no choice but to ignore the ‘truth’.
“but… … . If you think about it, it’s not wrong. The Glory Guild has clearly protected Gupa-dong… … .”
The editor-in-chief felt bitter and justified himself.
Gu Geon.
The reason he grew the Glory Guild was not only because of his qualifications as a hunter.
no.
Perhaps it should be said that his talent as a businessman surpassed his talent as a hunter.
Skillful speaking skills and trustworthy image.
And a natural trick that is completely different from his dependable appearance.
On top of that, he has the resourcefulness to turn around and express his point like he does now.
Of course, the person with the strongest voice in the Hunter Association was Gu Geon.
Therefore, the largest media outlets in the country have no choice but to write articles that suit their tastes.
Is there any group that will rebel against the Glory Guild, which controls money, power, and even the media?
The editor-in-chief shook his head left and right and started the car.
Meanwhile.
As soon as the editor-in-chief returned, Goo Geon roughly loosened the tie around his neck.
“Why do you have so many questions? Shibeol. “I guess I’m hard of hearing because I’m getting old.”
The kind smile he wore throughout the interview can no longer be seen.
Only the ferocious warriors who crush monsters on the battlefield remain.
His bulging trapezius muscles and short, upturned hair seem to represent his personality.
“How did this new hire go?”
Gu Geon comes out of the reception room and talks to the chief secretary next to him.
“yes. Of the top 30% of hunters who passed the qualification exam, we captured half.”
“It’s half… … . “What is the average tier?”
Then the chief secretary’s face stiffened a little.
“Tier B… … no see. There are about five A-tier players… … . A small number of C-tiers are also organized.”
“Tier C?”
The voice was not loud.
However, the chief secretary breaks into a sweat at that low voice.
Judging from his past experience, Gu Geon seemed quite dissatisfied with his current situation.
The rank is a rank, but how many employees can face the wrath of an S-class knight head-on?
The Chief Secretary put his brain into full use and expressed that it was an unavoidable situation.
“That was the best. “No S-tier prospects were found this quarter, and all the hunters recruited to C-tier are healer types.”
Gu Geon’s eyes soften a little when he hears the word “healer.”
“okay… … . In a world like today where we don’t know what will happen, recruiting healers is essential. Now that I think about it, is Maria still ‘in that state’?”
“yes… … . “You are now in a private healing room.”
“Tsk tsk… … . “How long do you plan to keep doing that stupid thing?”
Goo Geon shakes his head and clicks his tongue.
It was like that in the past, but now we live in an era where healers are needed more than anything else.
And there was one legendary healer who had been with the Glory Guild since birth.
Maria.
He was the first member of the Glory Guild like Goo Geon-i, and was an S-tier hunter ranked among the top three not only in Korea but also around the world.
The people’s support for Mary could be said to be at the level of faith.
A face that seems to have been created with the ability to heal people.
Just looking at her kind smile was enough to make me feel healed.
The people nicknamed her ‘The Virgin Mary’ after her name.
Although it was not a nickname suitable for someone who was still in her early twenties, it is safe to say that people’s support for Mary was in the realm of actual faith.
Just like the kind smile she showed people, Maria was a kind-hearted person.
The problem was that it made me feel more guilty than necessary.
“Let’s go in.”
“… … yes.”
Maria’s private healing room.
Gu Geon, standing in front of the door, was scratching his head as if he didn’t feel like it, and the chief secretary’s complexion was ashen.
It’s just a healing room.
It was a space where secret actions were repeated, completely opposite to the image of Mary.
“Ugh… … .”
As soon as we go inside, the chief secretary holds his nose.
This is because it is covered with a terrible bloody smell.
There was a deep mark between Gugeon’s eyebrows, but his voice had become softer, just like during the interview.
“It’s Leah. “It’s taking quite a long time this time.”
“… … “You came.”
A woman covered in blood all over her body.
A woman with an appearance that did not suit the Virgin Mary was sitting on her knees.
“Let’s stop now. “We did our best.”
“… … .”
Maria was silent for a moment, and then she slit her carotid artery with her hand.
Wow.
“eww… … Ugh!”
As blood flows down like a waterfall, the chief secretary groans uncontrollably.
After sending the secretary, who was half out of his mind, out, Gu Geon grabbed Maria’s red hand.
“It’s Leah.”
Surprisingly, her neck had suddenly become smooth.
Although the blood is still soaked, her excellent healing power does not leave the wound alone.
“CEO Koo. I’m not sure yet. “Are we really sure we did our best?”
A shimmering chill appears in her always warm eyes.
Gu Geon’s eyebrows twitched for a split second, but he nodded with a straight face.
“okay. “Unless we have two bodies, we cannot block all Duel Gates as a team.”
“What if we split the team in half? Or, if you went to the open building even late… … .”
“It’s Leah.”
Gu Geon’s voice becomes decisive.
“That only sounds like I’m not qualified to be the leader of the guild.”
“That’s not it… … . That’s not it… … .”
“Know. Because you’re always suffering thinking about the people you couldn’t save. But I swear with everything I have. We, and you, fought as hard as we could. “This time too.”
So please stop doing this stupid thing.
It was what he wanted to say the most, but Gu Geon swallowed it.
What Gugeon was most concerned about during this Duel Gate was not the media, the protests of the bereaved families, or the government.
It was Maria, the woman in front of me covered in blood.
She was a kind person, but she was not stupid.
The healing(?) time that would normally take one day has been going on for several days.
That was proof that he was having doubts about Duel Gate’s response.
“I know you are heartbroken. “We will give you a rest period for a while, so why not come out and get some fresh air instead of going to a dark place like this.”
“yes. “I will do that.”
He answers, but his voice still seems weak.
Isn’t there an event that can give her a mental boost?
Goo Geon, who was racking his brain, soon found a satisfactory answer.
“I will contact you separately later, so please go to the Hunter Association headquarters.”
“Head office?”
“okay. The condition of the recently recruited hunters is not good at all. “For the next test, I would like you to personally select potential healers and create a list.”
She is a kind-hearted woman who has sympathy even for monsters.
It would be emotionally better to watch the new sprouts grow rather than forcefully taking them to the battlefield.
It is not common for a private company’s hunter to participate in hunter selection, but if the company is ‘Glory Guild’ and the judge is ‘Maria’, it is essentially a free pass.
It was a moment when Googeon’s unusually clever brain shined once again.
“yes. “I will do that.”
Maria answered as before, but there was a different sense of relief in her voice than before.
I’ll be out of this damn place sooner or later.
Gu Geon greeted her with a satisfied face.
“I hope I meet a valuable person during the next qualification test.”
