The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood

Chapter 21

Its fortunate for them. Because the good news is that Kim Kiryeo didnt appear hostile toward her.

I just got a call from the analysis team. They said they analyzed the substance the hunter gave them and there is a high probability that the information is true.

Is that so?

I cant believe hes giving this willingly to our guild!

This is certainly a sign of goodwill.

As expected, he is trying to impress you, an S-class hunter. Esther sneered coldly as the secretary said those things with a bright smile on her face.

Its cute when obviously weak things show off. This is rather frightening.

Soon, a brief worry passed by.

First of all, get a profile of that person named Kim Kiryeo.

I understand.

Regardless of whether he used an item or did anything, its true that my skills didnt work at all.

Seo Esther leans back in her chair and sighs.

Ill have to see what this person does in the future.

Bright sunlight poured in from the glass window of the representative office.

Even though she had spent a lot of money on her own landscaping, Esther felt like the tower she had worked so hard to build was like a castle that could collapse at any moment these days.

Meanwhile.

In front of the Korea Magic Tower headquarters in Guro-gu, Seoul.

As expected, Hyung-nim, no matter what is different, it is different! Not only did you solve the maze of the Magic Tower guild that no one had been able to pass before, but you even received a scouting offer directly from Hunter Esther! You have an appraisal skill!

But whats really great is that you didnt even bat an eye when you saw that much money. I still get shaken when I see hundreds of millions of figures, but Hyung-nim was adamant and asked as if she was trying to influence you with money or something!

Stay here for a moment.

Huh? Where are you going?

He seems to have felt a lot in the negotiations.

As soon as Ahn Yoonseung left the building, he started spewing out the words he had been holding back like his machine gun, but unfortunately, they didnt reach my ears.

I headed straight to the nearby convenience store. I bought bottled water.

Then, I poured clear water into my mouth to neutralize the coffee flavor that lingered in my mouth again.

Kaaaghk. Tsk!

Lets remember the word coffee well from now on.

If I drink this damn drink twice, I wont have any tongue left.

Phew, I guess Ill survive now.

After completing first aid.

I returned to where Ahn Yoonseung was. Yoonseung, who was standing blankly on the street, was delighted to see me return.

Then shall we leave right away? Its only 3 oclock, so I think well have plenty of time to do some work at the gate.

Yeah.

Anyway, what a convenient Earthling.

Instead, I am grateful that he contacted Korea Magic Tower, and Ahn Yoonseung said that he would also help with the gate work since he came with me.

This is why there is a traditional fairy tale called Heungbu and Nolbu in Korea. There is nothing wrong with being gracious.

That, Kiryeo Hyung.

Hmm?

But you said that the item you handed over to Hunter Esther was something you knew by yourself

The weather is hot.

I rolled up my sleeves and listened to Ahn Yoonseung.

Ive never heard of such a substance before. Something that instantly extinguishes the flames of a fire-bat, or something that strengthens a building.

Because I recently found something new.

Do you know the value of discovering such a new material?

Of course I know. You barbaric primitive magician.

But the fact that the item information was passed on to the Magic Tower without registering it with the association Are you perhaps hate the Hunter Association?

I quietly listened to what he said and then shook my head.

I think Ahn Yoonseung misunderstood. Although it is true that the transaction resulted in a significant loss.

It was because I had my own plans.

No. I have no bad feelings about the Association.

Right? Phew.

Ahn Yoonseung was visibly relieved by my answer, but was startled when he heard what I said next.

This was just to impress Hunter Esther.

Yes?

Yoonseung accidentally stepped on a shaky sidewalk block and stumbled greatly.

Because this doesnt happen very often, it looks like it means he was surprised.

Y, you have such a dry image that I thought you wouldnt be interested in places like that.

A place like that?

Is someone like Esther your ideal type?

This time, I understand what I was mistaken about.

Does this kid have a rich imagination? Hell be a good wizard.

Thats not the reason.

I glanced at Ahn Yoonseung, who had a dumbfounded expression, then shook my head and showed a negative gesture typical of Earthlings.

And soon, all the secrets were revealed.

Yoonseung-ah, listen to me carefully. This is my advice to you.

Ah, yes!

From now on, whenever you meet a hunter with the curse attribute, be unconditionally kind to them.

Yes?

It will be good for you.

It seems that people in this world still dont know much about curse wizards.

However, once they find out what kind of personality the magicians who are good at using curses have, everyone will change their behavior.

Yes. Kiryeo Hyung. I will.

Curse magician.

Without exception, they have one thing in common.

That is, they will not forget what happened to them until the day they die.

They had the characteristic that if someone made them even the slightest bit angry, they would ruminate on this incident every second and use it as fuel to curse.

In a word, the grudge is a bit long.

So in my hometown, it was an unspoken rule to treat curse magicians kindly.

No matter how weak a magician is, if you ignore them for no reason, things will go wrong.

Hmm, I never thought there would be a curse magician among the S-Class hunters. Even in my hometown, there werent many of them.

However, there was no need to avoid them out of fear of their personalities.

Esther. Will I ever meet that person again in the future?

On the other hand, they never forget the favors they have received.

***

The next day.

With Yoonseungs help, I safely collected the ingredients for the <Magic Power Booster>.

Wings obtained from a fairy-type demon beast at a D-Class gate. It needs to be dried out and ground, so I placed it by the window.

Okay, everything is going smoothly.

Maybe its because I solved the most troublesome Korean Magic Tower gate in advance.

Hahaha, the moment I can use magic, the era of Homo sapiens will be over.

One step closer to regaining my previous position.

I headed to the refrigerator and imagined a bright future. It was time to provide todays nutrients.

-Ding dong, ding dong.

But what is this again?

-Ding dong, ding dong.

I was in a good mood thinking about eating, when cold water suddenly poured on me.

Someone visited Kim Kiryeos house.

Dont tell me, family?

Things get a little more complicated if they knew Kim Kiryeo in his lifetime and were acquaintances of Kim Kiryeo.

I returned the eggs I was holding in the refrigerator and headed to the front door.

A few seconds later when I arrived at the front door again. The same doorbell rang.

-Ding dong, ding dong.

Yes, Im coming.

Click.

Just in case, I put on a chain and carefully opened the door. What I saw in front of me was

Hello, Kim Kiryeo-ssi. I came from the Hunter Association.

Black leather wallet.

A card with a crude design was visible through the wide open wallet.

[Awakened Civil Servant ID]

[Seonwoo Yeon]

[Affiliation: Investigation Department]

Can you give me a moment?

Hunter Seonwoo Yeon.

The woman is standing guard in front of the door. I hadnt seen that face in a long time.

Whats the matter?

I poked my head through the open door. But what is this? There is more than one visitor.

Next to Seonwoo Yeon, there were three more people dressed in black suits.

I want you to come outside first, Teacher.

Kim Kiryeos occupation is not a teacher, but why is the title teacher used so often in Korea?

Tsk, Im starving to death. What a bother.

Is it my fault for trying to eat at 2pm?

Although Seonwoo Yeons visit was very annoying, I obediently unchained the front door when she told me to come out.

If I ignore people in public institutions, it will become more troublesome.

Im sorry for the sudden visit. In this case, the rule is to proceed with the procedure without prior notice.

When I opened the door wide and came out, Seonwoo Yeon flinched when she saw the view of the room behind me, and then she spoke again.

Then, I will formally inform you of the purpose of my visit.

Aah, yes.

A report of suspected false awakening registration has been received addressed to Kim Kiryeo-ssi.

Hmm?

As a result of the Hunter Associations investigation, Kim Kiryeo-ssi was suspected of being a delinquent registrant who lied about his rank

What did you just say?

We will be conducting an awakening re-examination today.

But wait a moment. What are you talking about?

I will accompany you to the Hunter Association.

Right now?

If you dont want to be arrested.

I guess its wrong to eat lunch today.

***

Seonwoo Yeon.

A woman with long, straight hair who speaks stiffly.

To explain why this Earthling only now appears in front of Kim Kiryeo, they have to go back a few weeks from now.

That Hunter must have lied. I cant believe hes an F-class man after using his strength to beat the Beginner killer!

At the time when Kim Kiryeo had just been reincarnated.

Seonwoo Yeon had been suspecting her opponents ranking manipulation since this time.

This is because Kim Kiryeos response to the Beginner Killer incident was not at the F-Class.

After parting ways with Kim Kiryeo at the Awakening Examination Office.

The result of the awakening test is really F-Class. Did you use an item to hide your rank?

Seonwoo Yeon returned to the association and belatedly looked up the mans records.

Awakening value: 12, test date just over a year ago.

If she looks at this point, its a typical record of an awakened person at the bottom, but the problem is the sheet below it.

Before a hunter enters the gate, they must report their entry to the association.

And this gate entry permit record remains in the Institutions database.

However, the record that Kim Kiryeo had was

=====================

[Time order ]

20XX.06.28 F-Class gate entry permission

Below

=====================

One gate entry record? Thats all your work experience as a hunter is?

A gradually growing doubt.

A person who had only entered an F-Class gate once wasnt panicking when he saw a monster he encountered in broad daylight. Does this make sense?

Awakened people who registered by lying about their level are dangerous! What would we do if he mixed in with hunters who were weaker than him

But there was a small problem.

Part of her wanted to reinvestigate him right away.

But unfortunately, Seonwoo Yeon is just an employee with no authority within the association.

She couldnt catch the innocent hunter just because he was suspicious.

Haa.

Moreover, Seonwoo Yeon felt conflicted.

To be honest, she hasnt even personally seen Kim Kiryeo do anything bad.

Its just my opinion, but do I really have the right to question that person?

Uhm

In the end, Seonwoo Yeon was confused and took a passive approach.

She followed the procedure and reported her suspicions regarding Hunter Kim Kiryeo, but the issue was buried.

Of course, nothing happened with just one report from Seonwoo Yeon.

Then, why did Kim Kiryeos investigation decision fall out of nowhere and like a bolt out of the blue in the dry sky?

It was a few days after that.

Seonwoo Yeon reads this article.

This is crazy.
