SSS-Class Suicide Hunter Chapter 183

Episode 183 < New actor. (1) >

[Mud and Dust] is a historic goblin troupe.

To be more precise, all that was left was a will. It did well for a time, but that’s a thing of the past. After the previous troupe owner suffered from management difficulties and disappeared, leaving behind a will, the term ‘venerable troupe’ became an insult rather than a compliment.

– Come inside.

“Did I pass?”

-Of course I passed. Ugor. No matter how much of a fairy you are, if you fail even after watching such a passionate performance, you have no right to go to the theater.

The Hobgoblin theater leader led me into the theater with his nose wagging. Sigh. When the gate opened, a theater with 130 years of tradition was revealed. There was a building there that had deteriorated drastically over the past 130 years.

“Wow.”

Dark interior. I turned on the torch for lighting, but it was better than not using it at all. There was soot everywhere on the ceiling and walls. Since the Jeongjok people like damp places, there was even rotten water on the floor that I couldn’t tell if it was underground water or something else.

Visual terrorism and olfactory terrorism.

“This is a bit… … .”

That wasn’t all.

Spiders, centipedes, bugs, etc.

Insects from all over the world gathered together to prove how much they love damp places. Thanks to this, even this small theater was overflowing with love, overflowing with life, and above all, overflowing with spider webs.

“why… .”

-You seem impressed. I understand. I loved it just as much when I first saw the theater when I was young.

The hobgoblin looked proud.

It seemed like he totally misunderstood my reaction.

-My heart was pounding. It was like falling in love for the first time. Looking back now, the heart pounding I felt back then led my life to this point.

My heart is pounding too. The left atrium and right ventricle are beating wildly as the spider webs spread out like the Great Wall of China.

“Extreme stock. “How long has it been since you cleaned here?”

-cleaning?

“…….”

Hobgoblin’s ‘What is that?’ I gave up all hope on that face.

okay. These kids loved muddy water from birth. Even if I nag him to come and clean up now, he won’t even listen to me.

-Well, I can’t believe I actually passed the screening even though I don’t have any muscles! I can’t believe it! You are amazing! As expected, it’s Kekerukker!

For reference, the original owner of this body, Sonia, an aspiring actress, became a mental body and hovered around me. She floated in the air like a ghost, like Bae Hu-ryeong.

However, it is impossible to communicate with Bae Hu-ryeong. Only I could hear their voices. All of a sudden, I became someone who was carrying around two ghosts.

‘It’s like two mosquitoes buzzing at the same time in the summer… .’

-yes?

‘no. It is nothing. Rather, it’s Sonia. Why did you risk your life on such a shameful extreme? He decided to become an actor anyway, so he’ll probably end up in a good place.’

-At first, I also wanted to join a famous theater company like [Flame] or [Hwama]… .

Sonia became sullen.

– Popular theater companies don’t even give you interviews. The feeble fairies are useless… . This is a place that at least provides some support.

‘Huh.’

Sonia was a victim of racial discrimination, or rather muscle discrimination. How on earth did our children become a race of people who only shout about muscles? . -Follow me. Let me introduce you to our theater family.

I followed the leader and went deeper into the building. There was a dressing room there. There was a pile of worn-out theatrical props, and in the middle of it all, two hobgoblins were sleeping comfortably.

-Wake up! You insectivores!

The troupe leader hit the hobgoblins on the head with a hand the size of a pot lid.

-What time is it and are you still playing?

-Ugh… Ugh… .

The hobgoblins opened their eyes with difficulty. One was one-armed and the other was one-eyed. The hobgoblins cupped their green faces with their green hands and glanced in my direction.

-woah. What kind of fairy people are you, Danju?

-Have they hired a new ticket agent?

-They are like rice bugs. He’s not a ticket agent, he’s a new actor! Haven’t I told you before? It is said that a certain fairy tribe always follows them around asking to be chosen as an actor.

-Ah, those fairies who are so annoying… ?

Only then did the Hobgoblin actors come to their senses.

-Wait a minute, you didn’t really select me as an actor?

-Why not? I just passed the final screening.

-Are you crazy? Sobriety. How can you get on stage with that trashy body?

You are speaking too harshly.

-Don’t worry. I also knew this and chose it. Even though his body is insignificant, this guy’s acting skills… .

“My name is Sonia. “Extreme stock.”

-Yes, Sonia. Sonia’s acting had more truth than any other actress I’ve ever seen. These days, audiences only focus on muscles, but their thoughts might change when they see Sonia.

The extreme leader declared.

Interest began to appear on the actors’ faces.

-Hoo.

-If Danju can say that… .

-Anyway, the youngest has finally arrived. Our seniors should set an example. How long are you going to just sit around in the dressing room? Quickly wash up and gather on stage.

-I understand, I understand.

The actors stood up.

Rumble!

The props that were piled up like a pile of Legos collapsed. Surprisingly, there were not two but three hobgoblins sleeping in the dressing room. The last one was buried among the props. A hobgoblin without one ear slept peacefully, hugging a stuffed lion.

-I told you to wake up quickly!

-evil? Argh!

The troupe leader pinched the one remaining ear and dragged it away. Even while being dragged away, the actor did not lose sight of the lion doll until the end. Be cute. -As you know, the blood and fire drama coming up next week is called Fire and Sword Dance.

After a while, the actors gathered.

The troupe leader walked back and forth in front of the stage with his back to him.

-Kekerukker, who lived an ordinary life, one day meets the Flame Emperor whom he has always respected. When two people meet, one begins to live a completely new life, and the other’s life ends. Recently, there are many cases of reinterpretation in the form of ‘In fact, Emperor Yeom was also a good person’… . We go to the classics.

-Sobriety.

The one-armed actor raised his hand.

-No matter how you look at it, it’s very outdated. Shouldn’t we also follow the latest trends?

-right. Audiences want something new.

The one-eyed actor also helped.

-Even if it’s a bit childish, you have to say things that make it seem like you love someone without pretending not to be like that. It is said that the trend these days is to bounce, and it is said that it is enjoyable to watch if there is interaction as if it is pulling or bouncing.

-Ha, that sounds terrible! A true fire knows nothing about firewood!

The theater leader widened his eyes.

-Once you start chasing something stimulating, there are no limits. The foundation disappears. The theme of [Hwageomranmu] is to show how people become disappointed in others and how that disappointment has a drastic impact on a person’s life. Anything other than that is buying and heresy!

hmm.

The actors were wondering.

-Anyway, that old man’s temperament will not be cured even if he dies.

-Isn’t this really going to ruin us? .

-noisy! Since you guys complained so much, didn’t we add a few lines? There are no more concessions. Relax your body and neck for 20 minutes. Let’s start practicing right away!

-That doesn’t work… . Anyway, I understand, sober… .

As the youngest, I quietly sat in the audience and watched the seniors practice.

30 minutes passed.

‘and.’

I came to a conclusion.

‘It’s complete shit, isn’t it?’

In short, it was terrible.

A blood play is a play using aurors. When acting out an angry scene, the actor does not just pour out lines with words, but also emits flame-like auras from his entire body. It is about expressing anger.

If you are familiar with Aurors, you have no choice but to become good at acting, and if you are good at acting, you have no choice but to become familiar with Aurors. Thus, the actors in the Blood Fire Drama naturally become great warriors and excellent auror users.

That’s how it should be…

“Why are you so hard?”

I muttered without realizing it. It was a word that came out inadvertently. The troupe’s words must have caught his ear, as he stopped teaching his acting and turned to look at me. -what are you talking about?

“uh. no. I feel like Aurors are only used in a very specific way… .”

A scene where Kekerukker realizes the Flame Emperor’s atrocities and becomes angry.

The actors in front of me were too focused on [anger]. No, I couldn’t focus at all. For example, if you want to express a character’s [anger], definitely use aura! It spread like wildfire. When I expressed [sadness], I just became limp again.

As if there was a set formula for Auror.

‘It’s flashy, though.’

In real time, the aurors grew bigger and louder and disappeared repeatedly before my eyes. It had a dazzling taste.

But that’s it.

‘There’s no point in doing that. really.’

I opened my mouth.

“Blood painting is the art of Aurors. And an auror is a power that is exerted by setting a pattern on a specific will, emotion, or a certain mental landscape. Emotions come first. If you give priority to mere arm movements or lines, the aura will become lifeless. What should I say? I guess this doesn’t flutter around. ah. that’s right. There is no malt. “I’m dizzy.”

The theater leader frowned. It gave the impression that he had beaten up some gangsters in the past.

-Why is this barking sound?

“Is that by any chance a designated tribe proverb? … no. “Anyway.”

I went up to the corner of the stage.

Before I knew it, the actors had stopped practicing their acting and were looking this way.

“Ego. For each feeling of anger, I set an action, and for each feeling of sadness, I set another action. You can’t do that. Do people always cry when they are sad? That’s not true. Each situation is different. “It is meaningful to be an Auror when you have to be able to respond immediately even in completely different situations.”

The senior actors chuckled as if it was fun.

-It turns out that the one Danju brought was not the youngest, but the teacher.

-teacher! Please show me an example!

“Mmm.”

How can I make it easier to understand?

I looked around.

“First of all, the torches are not good. “Let’s turn it all off.”

I bent down and grabbed a handful of dirt grains from the floor. And then he loaded the auror and shot, swish, swish. Torches hit by gravel arrows lost their firepower and went out.

The hobgoblins were embarrassed.

-what?

-what…….

In an instant, the surroundings became dark.

“okay.”

All the blood theaters resemble the cities of the Sanwa people. Daegongdong (大空洞). A cave surrounded by walls on all sides but with a hole in the ceiling. Now, the designated tribes have forgotten the days when they suffered as slaves. However, time has left its mark and cast a shadow over their architectural style.

“Everyone, please be quiet.”

When the torch went out, light streamed only from a small hole in the ceiling. The light of dawn. The blue, still lingering in the shadows, sank into the shabby stage.

“You don’t necessarily have to say unusual lines.”

The quiet carpet of dawn.

“There’s no need to say any lines. Auror is not some kind of magic… done. Let me just show you. “For example, let’s say you’re expressing anger.”

I did push-ups on stage.

“The more familiar the posture, the better. It’s a movement that anyone can recognize. There is no need to make excessive facial expressions. “Inhale!”

Slowly lowered my chest and waist. Raised it. Lowering and raising were maintained in a specific rhythm.

“Now, normally, when you do push-ups, this is the speed. It’s normal. But, this… .”

I immediately raised my aura.

Red flames oozed from all over my body. In the middle of it all, I was doing push-ups repeatedly at a much faster pace than before, to the point where it seemed abnormal.

fast.

Mechanically.

Expressionlessly.

“…….”

There was silence everywhere.

I glared straight ahead. Without making any breathing noises, I just did push-ups at a fast pace. I moved my whole body. Above me, a blood-red aura was burning fiercely.

“…Whew.”

After 30 seconds, I shook off my hands and stood up.

“look. It’s just pushups. It’s a familiar posture. But guess what? “It’s the same movement, but if you just change the speed, it feels completely different.”

-…….

“What would happen if I frantically did push-ups, sweating profusely and in an unstable position? The feeling will change again. If what you just saw was refined anger, this is wild anger. That’s it. “You don’t have to say special lines or make special movements to express your emotions.”

The hobgoblins seemed to understand something, but it seemed like they didn’t. It was a bit frustrating. I finally realized that this was my first time meeting [children without Auror talent].

“There, senior.”

I pointed to the one-eyed actor.

He was the one who played the role of the Flame Emperor in the play.

-Me, do you mean me?

“yes. Emperor Yan is a man with very strong self-love. If you were a senior, how would you express Yan Emperor’s self-love?”

-uh… .

“What kind of Aura are you going to use to express self-love?”

The one-eyed actor was embarrassed, but he thought about what I said. And I took out a mirror from among the props lying nearby.

-I guess it’s like this… .

The one-eyed actor looked into a hand mirror. A faint aura rose from the actor’s body. He wriggled strangely like a snake.

indeed.

“It’s not the worst. It’s strange. “It’s not right.”

-If it’s strange… ?

“see. Flame Emperor is a self-proclaimed manly bastard. Would a child like that look gracefully into a hand mirror? Do you think the Flame Emperor would carry a hand mirror? What are you doing? why?”

-uh… .

“The senior is now obsessed with the idea that [people with strong narcissism often look in the mirror]. Plus, I felt like self-love was a bit weird and would make me squirm, so I developed my aura that way. Then you can’t do it. It’s all just imitating something. “You say you have to set an example based on the emotions of your seniors?”

-If it were you, how would you do it?

“It’s the same.”

I took a deep breath and activated my auror.

Just like Uburka, I too was surrounded by aurors. Virtual muscles. He disguised himself as an auror as if his whole body was tingling.

“Huh… … Whoa, whoa… … .”

And I repeated the push-ups slowly, very slowly, as if to show my muscles. I deliberately overdid it and added breathing sounds.

It was not an action to make the body look good, but an action to show off a good body.

“Okay? “It’s simple, right?”

-… … no… I tried to point this out earlier, but treating an Auror like you is… … .

“What if I wanted to emphasize self-love more here? In times like this, it’s good to have props. We just put wooden chairs around. But Emperor Yan, this crazy bastard won’t sit down even though there is a chair. Never sit down and just keep doing pushups. “Non-stop.”

-…….

“Then people won’t recognize it even if there are no lines. Oh, that bastard is crazy. He’s a crazy guy who’s so obsessed with himself that he doesn’t even look at his surroundings. Are you feeling better now? “Now that we’re talking, I have to show you.”

I lightly lifted the wooden chairs and brought them onto the stage. It was placed haphazardly.

And in the middle of the chairs, I did push-ups like before, slowly, puff, puff, while breathing. Of course, the aura gives the illusion that the muscles are bulging.

“how is it? “Isn’t it easy?”

-…….

The one-eyed hobgoblin opened his mouth.

-who are you?

“You’re a new actor?”

The hobgoblins looked at me like I was crazy. no. why?

etc,
