The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood

Chapter 66:

Okay.

Thank you!

Although I had negative thoughts in my head, I eventually accepted the offer.

Ha, if it werent for that scene just now.

The image of Seonwoo Yeon helping the elderly with their luggage kept flashing in my mind. Its hard to confront such a creature. I like altruism.

***

After a while.

Are you really okay with eating here?

Why bother going far? If you were planning to eat here anyway.

T, that was when I was alone

Nearby, at a small snack bar.

We arrived at the shop and took our seats at a table. Because it was a small restaurant located in the corner of an alley, there were not many customers. Its perfect for conversation.

Whats delicious here?

I asked while looking at the menu. However, Seonwoo Yeons complexion is not very good.

Hunter Seonwoo Yeon? 

Oh, um, its my first time here too. I just came because it was nearby. Sorry about that.

Why was she so nervous earlier?

I roughly finished ordering and said something.

What on earth are you trying to say?

Yes? 

No, you seemed so tense. If you have something to say, just say it quickly.

Then, after a long silence, Seonwoo Yeon awkwardly brought up the main topic. 

I, I need help. 

Help. With that word as a starting point, a few words of explanation followed. 

I want to use my awakening abilities.

Uhm? 

After clearing that B-Class gate, my skills stopped coming out. 

What did you say? 

I even tried psychological therapy just in case but no matter how much time passes, theres no sign of my skills.

With a grim expression, Seonwoo Yeon clasped her arms. 

When I was having trouble because I couldnt think of a solution, I heard this from Hunter Ahn Yoonseung.

Which one? 

He said you had shown him how to use his skill. 

. 

I expected it, but to fix someone elses skill that isnt even yours

Seonwoo Yeon pauses for a moment. Meanwhile, the fish cakes and kimbap that we ordered arrived. She waited until the waiter left before continuing her sentence.

Anyway, Ive always wanted to ask Hunter Kim Kiryeo because I think you can solve this problem. 

In short, 

You will leave skill rehabilitation to me? 

As the short summary flowed, Seonwoo Yeon quickly nodded. 

Lets see the rehabilitation of a magicians skill, huh?

Its definitely not impossible, though.

It is a request that is less difficult than expected.

I was able to immediately point out a few reasons why Seonwoo Yeon couldnt use her skills. 

How do I fix those bad habits?

I pondered over my thoughts while chewing on the tteokbokki. In my mind, accepting the request from the other party had almost become a foregone conclusion. 

As expected, is it difficult? 

However, at that moment, Seonwoo Yeon asked hesitantly with an anxious expression. I almost laughed when I heard her question.

What? As expected, is it difficult?

What are you seeing in this great magician just now?

Of course 

Of course, its possible. Thats what I was about to say. I stopped myself from blurting it out when a thought flashed through my mind.

Ah! 

Why, why are you like that 

I remembered!

Come to think of it, there was this one thing I couldnt remember all day, and it was bothering me!

Tak.

I said, hitting my knee.

Seonwoo Yeon-ssi, youre from Hadong, right? 

Yes?

Isnt your hometown Hadong County?

Then Seonwoo Yeon nodded her head in a daze. 

Is that right?

I wondered where I had seen the word Hadong before, but facing this person, I finally remembered. 

A few weeks ago. At the time, the number one ranked hunter was put to sleep with an incense burner. Because of that incident, I became personally curious about Jung Haseong, so I searched for him on a portal site. 

The hunter profiles that came up here were surprisingly interesting. Things like his disliked foods and such. As I was reading trivial information, I suddenly became curious about other peoples biographies. Eventually, I ended up searching for all the hunters I knew. Of course, Seonwoo Yeon was included here too. 

How did you know about my hometown?

I happened to come across it while browsing through various links.

I searched through my memories of that time.

By the way, do you run a tea house or something?

Oh, yes. Its currently run by my aunt, but we do have a tea house and sell tea leaves.

I saw an advertisement for it. Its a website for your familys tea house, right? Your face was on the homepage.

Seonwoo Yeon seemed puzzled by why I suddenly brought up that topic, but I had my own reasons for doing so.

Alright. Ill take the request for now.

Yes? 

I will fix the skill that is not working.

Slurp.

I took a bite of the fish cake soup in the paper cup.

There is a condition instead.

Gulp.

At the same time, Seonwoo Yeon swallowed her dry saliva. 

I happen to have some business in Hadong as well. Because of a gate.

Ah

So, it would be nice to have someone familiar with the area to guide me.

Moreover, its a good chance to pass off the [Killer Bees Nest] gate hunt as well, you know. 

Kkkk. I barely suppressed the laughter that was trying to escape.

In addition, I have one more favor to ask you.

What?

I mentioned before that I discovered the website for your familys tea shop.

Yes. 

But, you see, Im not very good with online orders, so I ended up not being able to place one for delivery.

For your information, this statement is true. Writing emails, installing security programs, online payments were all difficult tasks for aliens. 

By the way, Id like to receive some tea leaves as a reward.

Yes? 

Then Ill fix your skill for you.

Material rewards and guidance. Moreover, Ill use practicing the skill as an excuse to subtly lead her to pass through the gate. Perfect plan. 

Ill make good use of it.

I completely forgot that I had decided to be nice to a good creature and revealed my insidious intentions. Its an opportunity to exploit the valuable B-Class hunter! How could I miss out on such luck?

I was already thinking about the killer bee nest issue, but it worked out! Thanks to this, manufacturing boosters will become easier.  

After a while, Seonwoo Yeon made a serious face after hearing my suggestion and then gave an answer.

Can I really ask for corrections under these conditions?

Its a trivial question. Rather, I should say thank you for helping me.

As soon as I heard Seonwoo Yeons words, I nodded my head.

***

Seonwoo Yeon briefly thought through her dark brown eyes. 

Did I mishear something? Or is this Hunter joking?

By the way, Id like to receive some tea leaves as a reward.

However, no matter how many times I checked, the result remained unchanged.

-Ill take the request for now.

Kim Kiryeo accepted her request. 

-I will fix the skill that is not working.

So willingly.

Seonwoo Yeon was so embarrassed that she made a fuss. Meanwhile, the man across the table continued his meal nonchalantly. 

Is it possible to be this lucky? If this continues wont I get hit by a car tomorrow?

All Kim Kiryeo can do is skill correction. Skill correction. 

Analyzing awakening techniques and suggesting better ways to use them! Its an ability she has never heard of before, but if its really possible, its truly an astonishing talent.

Perhaps on the day when this is revealedIs it only in Korea?

At that time, hunters all over the country would bow their heads in front of a person named Kim Kiryeo.

It was quite expected. Because his guidance has a lot of meaning.

Skill is an unknown territory for humanity. Even though it has already been 7 years since the Dungeon Shock occurred, control is still left to the individuals intuition

How on earth is Kim Kiryeo capable of such feats? According to Ahn Yoonseung, he was able to point out the problem with the skill with just a glance. Then, how proficiently does he handle his awakening ability? 

Whoo.

For a moment, her thoughts wandered elsewhere. Seonwoo Yeon took a breath and got her point straight. Anyway, the most curious thing in this situation is why he received the request under these conditions.

What is his plan? 

As explained earlier, Kim Kiryeos teachings were of tremendous value. So he was even prepared to take out a loan to do this favor

Not money, but tea? Are you saying youll settle for tea leaves now?

Seonwoo Yeons mind went blank. Even thinking about it again, it was a ridiculous statement. She cant believe that just guiding through Hadongs road and having a little green tea is enough. No, but then again, if she thinks about it well

It was like that last time too.

The other party never sought a big reward. Even though he is a capable person, he can bring out the hidden power of his skills and pass through the maze of the magic tower. 

Because of that, Seonwoo Yeon briefly made a different prediction. Could it be that this man is interested in me? Is that why hes being so helpful?

Hmm. 

It wasnt an entirely groundless story. Objectively speaking, Seonwoo Yeon was quite attractive. Even in casual attire, her beauty shone through. Of course, she also often experienced courtship from the opposite sex.

Dont tell me.

Even Seonwoo Yeon was confident this time. 

As expected.

That awakened person is not interested in her. He definitely isnt treating her well with any such intention. 

There is no way a person trying to impress others would make such a cold expression.

This was a problem that could be seen just by looking at the mood of her opponent.

Why do you look at me like that?

Stop.

But then. Seonwoo Yeon made eye contact with Kim Ki-ryeo for a moment. The man stopped eating and silently observed her. It was just a brief eye contact, but why did it feel so awkward? 

Yeah. Eye. 

Those eyes are the problem.

Kim Kiryeo always looks at people like that.

. 

Like observing cattle, chickens, or pigs, as if observing a different species

Its nothing. 

Thats why Kim Kiryeo is scary. Even though he seems like a kind person, he sometimes reveals such creepy underlying feelings.

Its uncomfortable.

Seonwoo Yeon was afraid of the other person. This fear made her constantly doubt and be wary of the mans intentions. 

Why is he helping without any reward? Why is he assisting other hunters like me and Ahn Yoonseung?

Why on earth?

That F-Class hunter is full of mysteries indeed. However, she cant ask about his secrets at this moment.

This is because she is the one who asked for a favor, and the other person said he would readily help. 

Anyway, thank you very much for accepting the request.

Seonwoo Yeon tried to calm the rising distrust. Now it was time to adjust the schedule.

But how long will it take to be able to use the skill again?

But she didnt expect this answer to come back. 

About three days?

What did you say? 

If you catch enough, itll probably be that much 

Tuk.

Seonwoo Yeon dropped the kimbap she was about to pick up. The F-Class Hunter sitting across from her looked at the rolling kimbap in silence.

So, I wanted to ask you to clear some time on Friday. If you could come down then and work over the weekend, it would fit perfectly with the schedule.

Hello? 

Psychological counseling.

Consultation with the Neo Sisters.

Korea Magic Towers professional magic test.

After trying everything and yielding no results in treating the awakened ability, its all finished in just three days?

Seonwoo Yeon opened her mouth wide. 

But she didnt know.

Even this is still too early to be surprised.
