The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood – Chapter 61

Ch 61: FLUKE （3）

Giryeo reluctantly collected the floating items.

Honestly, I still don’t know what’s going on.

‘Ah, now that I think about it, what’s happening with Yunseung?’

He inadvertently turned his head toward the passage.

Then he made eye contact with several people.

“…!”

An Yunseung and the raiders were holding their breaths, staring this way.

◈◈◈

From afar, it’s a comedy.

Up close, it’s a tragedy.

Even if it’s the same event, if the perspective changes, it looks like a completely different scene.

“….”

That’s why this situation, which is nothing more than so-called ‘luck’.

It came across completely differently to a certain observer.

‘The boss is…’

An Yunseung was thrilled.

When Giryeo drew the Greed’s attention, he was sure that his discipline would be broken by this.

“Huh.”

It’s a truly sophisticated hunting method.

Instantly grasping the Greed’s weakness.

Naturally inducing the monster’s balance to collapse.

And then, delivering such a precise blow at that moment.

‘Wow…….’

Admiration came out naturally.

It was truly an amazing technique.

He had turned his head without thinking at the boss’s roar, but he almost missed that great moment.

An Yunseung replayed the scene he had just witnessed.

A sharp sliding kick.

Followed by the boss’s fall.

In his eyes, the series of events seemed to be a thoroughly calculated act.

‘Even when dealing with a monster like that, he doesn’t need skills?’

Even an A-rank boss is just a foolish beast in the hands of that Awakened One.

The man who had cut off the boss’s breath slowly stood up.

An Yunseung was so engrossed in his skill that he even forgot about the fight.

Of course, they were just as dumbfounded.

‘What! That’s impossible. He took down Greed with his bare hands?’

In the short moment they took their eyes off him, the boss was defeated. And even the item they were aiming for was taken away.

The Nacha Temple followers were more shocked than An Yunseung.

But the person involved still had an emotionless face.

“Hmm.”

The reward for killing Greed. An unidentified blue core.

Giryeo rolled it around in his hand for a moment, then shouted loudly.

“An Yunseung!”

The dungeon’s owner was dead.

Thanks to that, a new exit was created in this room.

Then why should he fight those psychos? He could just run away.

“Run this way!”

Kim Giryeo gestured in front of the gate. It was a signal to retreat.

But the ice sorcerer wouldn’t let them go so easily.

‘No!’

He has to recover the core!

The Pseudo-Religion Follower urgently activated his skill.

Until now, he had been pacing himself for battle, but now it was all or nothing.

Hoo.

He scraped together all the mana in his body.

The skill to use was 『Frost Storm』.

It was a powerful technique that, when an ice spike hit its target, would cause a chain reaction of cold explosions, freezing the entire area.

Crunch.

A fierce magical power gathered at a point in the air.

An Yunseung had also quickly approached the gate exit, but the activation of that magic would probably be faster than his escape.

“Sigh.”

“H-hyung-nim! Behind me…!”

Yunseung must have noticed something, as he hurriedly raised his shield. But someone blocked it.

It was Kim Giryeo himself.

“Hyung?”

Whew! Just as the completed ice spike was about to fly.

Giryeo held out something he had taken out of his pocket in front of it.

It was none other than.

“I didn’t want to use this.”

A small hand mirror……?

“Huh?”

Shine.

Just when the tip of the ice was thought to have touched the glass of the mirror.

After blinking twice, the scenery of the world had changed.

How could this be?

Clearly, until just now, the magic was aimed at them.

━Bang!

Before they knew it, the head of the ice spike was turned in the opposite direction. As if reflected in a mirror.

“Huh, ugh…….”

There was no time to dodge.

The caster, who was suddenly caught in the Frost Storm, froze quickly along with his companion.

At this point, a forgotten tool appears.

‘Tsk, the practical test was too early after all.’

That very item he had purchased at the Hunter Market. A reflector.

『Reflector』

『Effect: For attacks below E-rank, returns light attribute magic to the caster.』

Originally, it was a useless item with such insignificant abilities, but Giryeo, based on his outstanding knowledge, had modified it.

『Reflector』

『Effect: For attacks below A-rank, reverses the direction of magic.』

It reflects all magic that touches it, regardless of attribute. What kind of cheat item is this?

But when you look at it one by one, there were many loopholes.

First of all, the magic had to have a clear direction.

And he had to hit the attack on this small hand mirror.

‘If not, it’s likely to become useless. If the opponent’s sorcerer just uses area-of-effect skills to prevent the magic from being reflected, it’s over.’

Since the original was a low-grade magical tool, its durability wasn’t very good either.

“Oh my, this is.”

Crack.

In the meantime, the glass of the reflector was split into three pieces.

He looked down at the broken magical tool with a bitter expression.

“Anyway, let’s go.”

And then Giryeo belatedly took care of his companions. An Yunseung’s expression was somehow a bit…

“Hyung-nim…!”

The A-rank hunter’s eyes were teary.

It was because he was greatly impressed by the opponent’s actions.

He was trying to avoid the fight, but when his younger brother was in danger, he immediately showed his skills…

Moreover, that skill that even he, who had awakened as an A-rank defense type, wasn’t sure if he could block, he returned it to the enemy!

Indeed, he is an amazing person.

‘If it’s character, it’s character. If it’s skill, it’s skill.’

The evaluation of Kim Giryeo was gradually changing to something like worship.

Of course, the person himself had no way of knowing this.

Giryeo, not paying much attention to the emotional Yunseung, silently left the gate.

“Whew.”

Leaving the hellish Golden Land behind, his mobile phone finally caught a signal.

“I wonder how many times I’ve called the police this year.”

“Gate crimes should be reported to the Association. I’ll contact them right away!”

They immediately made a report.

Soon after, several employees from the Association came out.

The terrorists who had been left in the gate were urgently arrested, still frozen.

‘Ice sorcerers have high cold resistance from birth, so even if they look like that on the outside, they probably aren’t dead.’

Instead of an interrogation, they should just get tortured.

Giryeo poured curses on the backs of the criminals being taken away and returned to where An Yunseung was standing.

And so, the incident seemed to be coming to an end.

4 PM.

The Korean Hunter Association Headquarters.

“Hmm.”

A woman with long straight hair paced the hallway anxiously.

“When will the additional contact come?”

She was none other than Seon Uyeon.

If you asked why she was so restless, well, it was because she had just received a report that a stealing crime had occurred.

“Could there be a problem with the suppression team…….”

This hunter with the 『Searcher』 skill was on standby to prevent the possible escape of the criminal.

But then.

Weeeeing.

The automatic door at the end of the hallway opened, and a man walked out from there.

“Ah.”

Brightly dyed hair. And those snake-like eyes. Isn’t that a familiar face?

“Welcome, Hunter Kim Giryeo.”

When you meet this often, you even get attached to an ugly face.

Seon Uyeon greeted him happily. And as always, she asked a simple question.

“Did you come for work?”

“No. I was caught.”

Looking closely, this F-rank hunter had something on his wrist.

It was a shackle.

“Then, please do your best.”

Kim Giryeo muttered with a hollow look and was taken to the Association’s basement.

…It was a bewildering sight.

◈◈◈

I’m hungry.

You know, in dramas and such, the detectives order seolleongtang for them at times like this.

‘Can’t I eat something before doing this?’

The first basement floor of the Association.

I, who had been forcibly dragged into a room without any windows, leaned back on the sofa, half annoyed.

This is all An Yunseung’s fault.

‘D*mn it!’

When informing the Association employees about the situation.

An Yunseung had made a slight slip of the tongue.

━Hunters-nim. By the way, the exit is open?

━Ah, yes.

━Who took down the boss?

━That was Giryeo hyung…….

He tried to fix it belatedly, but the result was as you can see.

The Association people, as if they had caught something, quickly restrained me.

Unreported gate entry.

Ignoring the rank limit regulations.

Unlicensed hunting.

Apparently, there were as many as three charges this time.

‘I’m screwed!’

The first two can be resolved with a fine, but the problem is the last item.

If handled poorly, I could really go to prison. I did my best to defend myself.

“To summarize, you’re just a transporter, and An Yunseung took down all the monsters in the Golden Land, right?”

“Yes!”

“And skipping the entry report was just a mistake?”

“Of course!”

And was it because this earnestness worked?

A little while later.

The Association employees reluctantly released me, even with uneasy faces.

An F-rank hunting an A-rank boss?

No one could prove such a ridiculous charge.

‘Thank you, Seon Uyeon!’

In particular, the results of the re-awakening test I had previously undergone were a great help.

Thanks to that, I was only given a warning for unreported gate entry and was released.

‘Hahaha! Freedom.’

Clang.

With my shackles off, I strolled down the hallway with light steps.

Finally, all the investigations were over.

Now, all that was left was to sell the cores I had collected in the item box and become rich…!

“Uh.”

But at that moment.

Cold sweat ran down my spine.

‘Wait.’

Suddenly, it dawned on me.

Come to think of it…….

In Korea, when buying and selling gate items. You must use the national exchange.

I heard that it was decided by law because of tax issues. As an alien, I don’t know the details.

However, one thing is certain: a rough transaction record remains at this time.

“….”

Until now, even if an F-rank sold high-rank materials, well.

There wasn’t much to say at the exchange.

‘I’m currently under suspicion, not suspicion, for having touched the monsters of the Golden Land, and if I trade cores in bulk in the middle of this?’

Oh, no.

‘I’ll get caught 100%.’

And as expected.

An Yunseung, who had finished his investigation around the same time as me, contacted me right away.

━Hyung-nim, I told them that I was the one who took down all the golems, but the investigators are asking where I put the hunting evidence, and they’re even talking about a tax audit…….

Yeah. That’s what it is.

“I’m going to…. take them now.”

Click.

After the call ended.

I silently swallowed my tears.

‘My money…….’

To sum it up, the golem materials eventually went back to their owner.

It was karma.

◈◈◈

Thursday morning.

“Yunseung-ssi.”

“Ah, Seonbae-nim!”

An Yunseung encountered a familiar face near the Association.

It was Hunter Seon Uyeon.

“Are you coming out of the exchange?”

“Yes, yes! I was selling some golem parts.”

Normally, he would have ended the greeting at this point.

But Seon Uyeon stopped him, as if she had something to say.

“If it’s golems, is it from that Golden Land yesterday…?”

“Why?”

“Um, there’s something I wanted to ask.”

Her tone was cautious.

“After all, Kim Giryeo Hunter killed Greed, right?”

As soon as those words came out, Yunseung stiffened and couldn’t open his mouth. Anyone could see that he was hiding something.

“Sigh.”

“I, I, I didn’t say anything….”

“You don’t have to be so nervous. Anyone would think I was going to eat you.”

At this, Seon Uyeon let out a short sigh.

That Kim Giryeo. He actually went and killed an A-rank boss.

“Be more careful.”

“Ugh.”

“Do you know that there are already rumors going around among the employees?”

In fact, Kim Giryeo was accumulating more karma in real time.

Because of this Golden Land incident, the Hunter Association finally began to pay attention to the Awakened One named Kim Giryeo.

Even though it ended with a minor disciplinary action for now.

That record of unreported gate entry became the culprit that triggered the problematic press conference later on.

“This is your last warning. If you get caught smuggling an F-rank into a high-rank gate again, just see what happens.”

If he had followed Seon Uyeon’s advice, it wouldn’t have gone that far…

She thought for a moment.

‘Anyway, Kim Giryeo is the biggest problem. Because he’s skilled, An Yunseung is also relieved and readily brings him into A-rank gates.’

If Kim Giryeo was really an F-rank, An Yunseung would have been worried and would have stopped the illegal entry.

That won’t do. I should say a word.

“Who are you calling suddenly?”

“Your porter.”

Swish.

Seon Uyeon took out her mobile phone and called someone.

But.

『The phone is turned off, going to voicemail…….』

The call only connected to voicemail.

It feels a bit disappointing.

“Why? He’s not answering?”

“It seems like he turned off his phone.”

But there was nothing they could do since the person involved had gone into hiding.

In the end, they ended the conversation vaguely.
