Chapter 33
Chapter 33
It was the worst week.
It happened just a week after I was kidnapped by a human trafficker and nearly killed by a robber who was targeting my items.
How many bones were broken? Do you know how many days it has taken to be restored!
I was panting as I collected the empty magic booster bottles.
Its annoying that Ive been in pain for a long time due to a sudden injury, but I have to attend the association meeting today.
No I mean, please, at least once, do something properly! Why are you listening to my circumstances again?
I roughly finished the skill correction I promised yesterday, so I was wondering if I would take some time off on Monday.
Phew.
Still, no matter how much I complain, nothing will change.
I picked out some suitable summer clothes from Kim Kiryeos closet and got ready to go out.
However, a small problem arose when I wore a short-sleeved T-shirt. The problem is that there is no place to hide accessories.
Even these shabby magic tools were of great value on Earth, right?
The bracelet that was responsible for the incident is sparkling on the desk.
After looking into it later, I found out that the most recent auction price for that item was a shocking 100 million won, but
Its not even close to buying something called a dragons lung.
For some reason, I couldnt decide to sell it.
Loses its effect after receiving two damages.
Because this may one day determine life or death.
Ehem
My body, especially for an incompetent person like me who is magically weak, may not be able to survive even a minor attack and may explode.
But how could I sell a defensive item?
Lets carry this around without any notice from now on.
I put the bracelet deep in my pocket and headed out.
Hmm, the air is damp.
The weather outside was the humidity that aliens like, but I wasnt very excited.
Ah, going to the association is a pain.
I just walked along thinking like that.
-Booorm! Booooorm!
But as soon as I came out, what was this?
-Booorm!
The alley in front of Kim Kiryeos studio apartment.
There is a loud honk coming from an SUV that is taking up the entire narrow road.
I looked in that direction out of curiosity, wondering if there was some crazy person running around in broad daylight.
With the window open, I looked in the drivers seat and saw something. This is a really crazy man.
Kim Kiryeo!
Damn it, I would have taken the other route a long time ago if I had known this guy was going to park his car here.
Where are you going at a time like this?
.
Lunch? Or any other promise?
I ran into him right at the front door and now I cant avoid him.
Eventually, I started crying and kept talking like I was eating mustard. (t/n : means like you do something you dont want to and have no choice but to do it.)
Im on my way because I have a business at the association. Hunter Kang Chanho.
I cant believe that only three S-Class hunters exist in Korea, and one of them suddenly appears in an alley like this. This is ridiculous.
Oh my! Is it because I took a long shower? Its already time. Im busy so Ill stop and go. Then, have a nice Monday
As expected, there is nothing better than running around when you are in trouble.
I made a quick excuse and slowly walked away, but a quiet warning was thrown in the back of my head.
Get on.
Kang Changho takes off the sunglasses he was wearing and looks at me intently.
When I still say it nicely.
Its a reasonable statement.
I am an alien with intelligence and culture.
Since I like solving problems through conversation, I decided to follow Kang Changhos suggestion.
Im definitely not doing this because Im scared.
Ah, yes.
Tak. I opened the passenger door, got into the car, tried my best to hide my nervousness, and looked for my seat belt.
Lets just wait and see.
I think I felt more comfortable in the trunk of the van I was in when I was kidnapped.
Why did you come to my house? What are you going to do? Am I going to be dragged to a strange place again?
Like a child sitting in front of his parents, I thought carefully about whether I had done anything wrong.
However,
To this very moment, I have kept the secret about Jung Haseong very well.
Moreover, regarding the previous kidnapping incident, I testified in Kang Changhos favor as much as possible since I was afraid something like this might happen.
So I dont think theres any reason to be angry?
If I had known this would happen, should I have just sent the kidnappers and this guy together?
Then the driving started.
I heard the news.
It was at the same time that Kang Changho, who had remained silent until now, opened his mouth.
I heard you were beaten by frogs.
Frogs?
They make a living by hunting fellow hunters.
Is he talking about those robbers?
Yes. Well, thats right.
Im curious how the information is getting out so quickly, but I did give an answer.
Then Kang Changho speaks,
Hmm. I heard there was an injury, so I came to check on you. Fortunately, I dont think there were any major problems.
But wait, did I hear something wrong?
What did you come to check?
I was worried that Hunter Kiryeo might have been seriously injured in that incident. It was a dangerous accident.
Kang Changho gently turned his steering wheel and continued speaking.
Didnt you get caught up in an EX-class gate and get kidnapped? When I look closely, I can see that there is never a peaceful day.
At this point, I suspect that you enjoy taking risks.
I was dumbfounded when the unexpected purpose of the visit was revealed.
Kang Changho glanced at me, then looked straight ahead again.
I brought you a gift. Open the glove box.
Receiving a gift is always something to look forward to. So there is no need to refuse.
But the problem is that I dont know what a glove box is.
Theres a storage space near your knees. There, pull that thing open.
I later realized that there was a hidden storage space in front of the passenger seat.
Just like he said, something came out when I pulled the handle and looked inside.
Its a liquid in a crystal bottle.
Its a recovery potion.
!
I dont think you really need it right now, but since Ive already prepared it, Ill just give it to you. Take it.
This is the earth potion?
I see. Apparently, he chose these items out because he heard I was injured in a robbery.
It was a routine occurrence even in my hometown.
If someone loses a tentacle in an accident, their friends will buy them recovery medicine.
It feels like giving a fever reducer to someone with a cold.
Ooh.
Even though it was common to exchange recovery potions, I felt an unexpected emotion.
To be treated so well on Earth.
Thank you. Ill use it well.
It is actually a bother to turn down such a small gift. I obediently accepted the potion.
Then Kang Changho raised the corner of his mouth.
Isnt that surprising?
No, Im surprised enough. Because someone like you suddenly does something strange.
There shouldnt be any strange ingredients mixed in, right? It doesnt matter since Im going to use it for research anyway.
I looked intently at the medicine in my hand.
I was so absorbed in the gift that I didnt even notice that the car was slowing down.
Were here. Get off.
Huh?
Kiiik.
I was startled by the sudden sound of getting off and looked around. Then what I see is a familiar ivory building.
This is a road near the Hunter Association.
Arent you going to get off? Didnt you say you have business to do at the association?
First, lets get off. I still didnt understand the situation.
I didnt know you were going to give me a ride. Im sure you have other business to do
I told you earlier. I just came today to check on your condition.
The drivers window opens.
Kang Changho glanced in this direction with his vertical pupils and showed an expression of emotion typical of Earthlings.
He smiled.
Then take good care of your body. Dont die doing stupid things..
I dont know what to do with my body as I am being told to stay healthy and not die.
But now I have to slowly bring this question up. I expressed my doubts until now.
Yes. Thank you. I appreciate it, but why do you care so much about me?
When did he say that he would kill me unless I testified falsely.
Kang Changho put on his sunglasses again when he heard the question.In the meantime, he seems to have carefully chosen what to say.
Actually, I hope Korean hunters grow up well.
This is another unexpected answer.
I am interested in developing talent. And you seem to be the smartest one among them.
Kang Changho said that and raised the drivers side window halfway.
Thats why I also dont want to harm Hunter Kim Kiryeo. You know what Im trying to say, right?
I know.
Good. Then you can go. You said you were late because you took a long shower.
Kang Changho left a short mockery and started his car.
It didnt take long for his car to disappear from sight.
Talented person.
He is interested in training hunters in Korea, so he also destroys the kidnapping organization that harms the awakened people.
When he hears that a talented-looking guy is hurt, he immediately rushes over and gives him medicine.
This is so patriotic.
I really want to say that, but the reality is that it is not easy.
What kind of secret plot do you have?
Because it was unlikely that an awakened person who wouldnt think twice about killing his own people if he had to would have such a righteous personality.
I rolled the healing potion in my hand and was lost in thought.
Why would Kang Changho be interested in an F-Class guy like me? In the end, that was the point.
However, the answer to this difficult problem was solved by chance one day.
Oh, its so annoying to wash every day. When my magic power fully recovers, I will have to look into the waste disposal process as well.
Wednesday.
Right after putting away the recycling waste.
I sat down and looked at an Internet site after washing Kim Kiryeos body like I always do.
[List of awakening skills]
Personally, I was a bit surprised by this. The people of Earth connect and organize the various kinds of magic that exist in the world.
The information society is amazing.
I looked around this site with admiration.
[Flame][protective shield][fast][incitement of hatred]
The explanation was simpler than expected, so the quality of the information was not high.
Still, it was quite fun to see what kind of magic the magicians on Earth used.
I thought I could only use primitive and simple magic. Is it because civilization developed first and then magical power blossomed that our history is so different?
It was at this time that this alien developed an addiction to surfing the web.
Huh?
I found a skill while scrolling down.
[Improvement]
Its a positive word.
But after reading the skill description, I couldnt be happier.
[Improvement]
[Description: Kill a strong person and take away the targets skills.]
.
I quietly move my finger to search for additional information about the skill.
Then an article came out.
It was about a person with an [Improvement] in Texas, the United States, who committed a series of murders.
Uhm.
At this point, lets look back at Kang Changhos actions.
First. Kang Changho proposed sponsoring hunter activities.
Second. Sensitive to the possibility of promising awakened individuals being leaked overseas.
Third. He advised me not to die.
.
Dont tell me
Its not, right? Probably not.
Kang Changho is just a patriot, right?
