The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood

Chapter 42: Guild Scouts (3)

Anyway, Ill let you know the results of the appraisal.

By the time everyone froze in shock, Kim Kiryeo started doing his job.

But does this have much meaning? Your investigation is correct.

Yes?

This is just a sword that improves its performance the more magic power it absorbs. Thats all.

There are no hidden conditions or abilities. When he revealed this, Kwak Byeonggi was confused.

No, then how should I use the sword? Even the A-Class hunter collapsed in an instant.

Kiryeo answered. Of course you have to endure it.

Endure it?

Just endure it? Dont let the sword suck up more mana than necessary.

Kwak Byeonggi opened his mouth wide.

Just bear with it. This is some kind of conscienceless bullshit that only geniuses would say.

Hmm?

They wonder if Kiryeo read the atmosphere when they all fell silent. His face became serious.

Dont tell me, people here cant do that?

This sentence sounded like this to Kwak Byeonggi.

-Was the guild, said to be the two great mountain ranges in Korea, only this good?

He felt a chill down his spine. The reason he personally approached Kim Kyeore for a request was to showcase Magic Towers abilities and let it be known that there is no guild like this. The items scattered throughout this analysis room were also part of the plan.

There is no way an appraiser wouldnt know the value of these items. Seeing them effortlessly obtain high-tier equipment, which was difficult to obtain in small and medium-sized guilds, he thought he must be sensing something.

N, no. Thats.

But if it continues like this, it will never be the greatest in the industry and will instead experience nothing but failure. Kwak Byeonggi urgently took care of the situation.

The one who received the cursed sword is not the main attacker. I was thinking of giving it to the hunters of the 3rd reserve team.

Is that so?

Haha. This is a team with many new members. It still seems immature.

Whether Kiryeo understood the situation roughly, he nodded slightly

I guess that there are a few awakened people trained enough to handle this.

He mumbled and took a moment to remember.

Among the people I knowKang Changho? Hmm, yeah. I think if youre at the level of Kang Changho, you can use it without any problems.

Of all the people on Earth he has ever met, he was the person who handled magic in the most detail.

Kiryeo unintentionally mentioned that persons name. In any case, it was an example that meant that a certain level of control was necessary to handle this sword.

Kang Changho?

However, this sentence had a completely different meaning to Kwak Byeonggi.

He says they have to be an S-class hunter to be able to use a sword. So, doesnt that mean he is also close to that S-class?

Because Kwak Byeonggi thought that the other persons remarks were referring to Kang Changhos awakening value itself.

What on earth did he do to make an S-Class look like an ordinary person?!

Kwak Byeonggi is a person who is thorough in maintaining his physical strength. Thats why even when he reached middle age, his body continued to look threatening like this.

Kim Kiryeo, on the other hand, has a slim silhouette that doesnt look very healthy But ironically, if they end up fighting each other, what will be seen is blood, and it could only be Kwak Byeonggi.

On the outside, I dont feel any magical power at all.

When he thought about the hidden awakening power, perhaps that man could probably crush at least a persons skull like an eggshell.

Manager Kwak Byeonggi, whats wrong?

He suddenly felt a sense of crisis. It felt like a beast wearing human clothing, so his body froze for a moment.

Uh, thats

But at that time,. Bang! The white door of the analysis room burst open with a loud noise. At the same time, Kwak Byeonggi looks brighter. Because if that person is there, no awakened person has to be afraid.

CEO!

What, why are you welcoming me like this today?

A real S-Class Hunter!

Seo Esther smiles brightly and says hello. Hello! I heard that Kiryeo-ssi had visited, so I came briefly.

The man with Sambaegan eyes that didnt reflect the light in her eyes looked back at her calmly.

***

Hey~ If you make a mistake from now on, you will be X~

No, you should just go and do your work, so why did you come out? Esther suddenly appears, and I dont know what to do. Should I start by saying hello?

Nice to meet you.

How is it? Is work going well?

I just finished it.

Oh, I see. Let me hear the results!

Its the words of the cursed magician, so I have to follow them anyway.

I immediately released the information on the magic tool. Then Esther nodded and smiled, satisfied.

Theres no hidden danger, right?

Whoosh.

Esther lightly took the magic sword that was lying next to him in her hand.

I was afraid that there might be some big secret, so I couldnt even touch it.

As expected, when you reach S-Class, you can withstand mana drain well.

I didnt give it much thought as I watched Esther turn the sword, but the reactions of the employees around me seemed strange.

What is it?

For some reason, the employees are looking at us with very frightened faces. Are they worried that the CEO, who was playing around with the sword, might have cut her hand?

Hunter Esther, Id like to check one last time before I finish. Can you give me the sword here?

Okay~

Esther obediently handed over the magic sword. However, even though the dangerous sword was retrieved, the employees were still filled with shock. In fact, their faces seemed even more surprised than before.

No, what on earth should I do?

Phew, thats enough.

Anyway, these are people whom I will only see once. Rather than worrying about things like that, its better to just get some work done. I silently rechecked the magic tools.

Kiryeo-ssi! Do you like that sword?

Yes?

But at this moment, Esther quietly approached and whispered.

Anyway, theres no one in our guild who really needs it. I could just give it to you if you just say it well.

My head is tilted. First of all, I dont want to receive favor from the cursed magician carelessly.

Im not sure. This is a bit beyond the level I would use

I put down the black sword I was examining without any hesitation. This is too much equipment for an F-Class to use. Anyway, my magical power is so small that I cant even use my abilities.

Are you saying the level is too low for you?

However, at that time, Esther added unknown words. I thought this was a typical Earthlings form of irony, so I just shrugged my shoulders.

I would like to win your favor by smiling at the joke, but.

After seeing Seonwoo Yeons cold face, I couldnt even dare to smile.

Thats right.

Esther opened her eyes wide as she looked at my reaction. And I tried to slowly bring up the next word.

Biiiiip

Wiiiiiiing!

A sudden roar interrupted us.

High decibel alarm sound. And the sound of vibration

Disaster message?

This had already happened once. I reflexively took out my cell phone from my pocket, and Esther was doing the same on the other side. By the way, did they receive a call during this time?

Hello? Ah! Y, yes. Is the gate over there?

While holding her cellphone to her ear, Esther seemed to be having a quick conversation with someone. Eventually, she brought the news to them.

Anyway, the world wont leave me alone! They say an A-Class red gate has appeared in broad daylight.

Its A-Class, so why are they contacting the CEO directly?

Because a pair of red gates have appeared!

Oh, its real. Now I see there are two warning letters instead of one.

Two A-Class gates at the same time?

There was no time to say anything. Immediately after that, the staff at the Korea Magic Tower began to move busily.

Kiryeo-ssi, Im sorry about this, but what should I do? I was planning to have a cup of coffee with you again today, but something came up.

Its fine. Something like coffee

But wait a minute.

Ah, thats right. Since there are multiple gates, there will be a lot of reward, so there will be at least two people from the analysis team along, right?

Yes, CEO.

No matter how I look at this, it seems like a story about an S-class hunter personally going to the scene. I spoke to Esther, who was preparing to go.

Wait a minute. Excuse me, but may I follow you?

Yes?

If you take me with you, I will help you sort the magic stones.

This is a somewhat unexpected request.

It doesnt matter to me, but what are you going to do on the site?

With a look of pure curiosity, Esther asked about his intentions. It wasnt a grand reason, so one or two words of explanation were enough.

I want to see you fight in person. Ive been curious about S-class curse skills for a long time.

To put it simply, lets take a look at her skills. Honestly, I wanted to analyze what the differences were between Earth and Alphauris curse magic.

Esther-ssi, since you have this much magical power, you must be very talented, right?

Lets take advantage of the opportunity and flatter her in moderation. Then, the other person will feel excited and easily accept my request.

HahaThank you for your words. Then, lets go by car together.

Surely, Esther responded with a smile and willingly allowed me to accompany her.

What I said must have undoubtedly earned some points!

As expected, when dealing with curse-type beings, theres no choice but to offer nothing but praise.

Thats right. Lets keep going like this from now on.

So, it should be possible to maintain a good relationship even with a scary person known as an S-Class curse magician.

I left the building with hopeful plans for the future.

***

Tak, tak, tak.

Kim Kiryeo, this punk

The white hallway of the Magic Tower. Esther, who was walking at the front of the procession, gritted her teeth in a place where her gaze couldnt reach

To throw away the water someone gave you!

What? Is he curious about what S-class curse skills are like?

When a guy who nullified the skill she activated right in front of her eyes says something like that, its just interpreted with a completely different meaning.

Shall we see how well she can fight with skills that cant even touch the tip of my hair?

Its probably a declaration of war in this sense. If she thinks about it that way, the statement that follows can also be interpreted naturally.

Esther-ssi, since you have this much magical power, you must be very talented, right?

This is a complete mockery!

Esther twitched the corner of her mouth with some confidence. An S-Class that is said to be the gemstone chosen among the awakened. But to think that there would be a man who looked down on them without even changing his facial expression.

Huh?

Its unpleasant and interesting. Isnt he so confident in his own abilities that he makes such provocations?

Esther thought that this situation clearly revealed what Kim Kiryeo was hiding. Because a simple F-Class couldnt have that kind of arrogance.

They said the association has closed the road. Step on it coolly!

Wear your seat belt. CEO.

Will I die after an accident? Are you going to die?

Esther got into the car heading to the scene, sat back in the passenger seat, and thought.

But why are you provoking me like this?

It bothers her that Kiryeo suddenly took on such an aggressive attitude

Dont tell me.

Warning.

At that moment, those cold words passed through her mind.

Kim Kiryeo clearly knew the level of the curse and provocatively scratched at her temper. Perhaps this was an act aimed at prompting her to once again use her awakening ability.

But if she uses a curse because of this light provocation

Are you saying that youre not going to let it go like last time?

Someones image is reflected in the rearview mirror. Even though she used the guilds full information network, she still couldnt find any clear traces of this hunters past, leaving a mysterious figure. The nameless awakened person is now trying to lure her.

Contrary to your appearance, you fight a little more roughly, dont you?

Esther fell into a slight state of tension.
