The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood

Chapter 91:

“Great! Let’s speak casually from now on.”

Gu Seohyeong and I made a brief verbal agreement. In that case, I have acquired a trustworthy enchanter. I think the future will be smooth sailing…

***

Two days after that.

-Kssk, kssk.

Gu Seohyeong’s temporary workshop. Currently, Kiryeo is currently sitting on the spare workbench here and watching the enchantment in progress.

He was interested in Earth’s enchantment magic. Most importantly, the enchanter herself had said the work would be finished today.

“Whew!”

“Hey, take it easy~”

-Knock knock knock.

But what could this be? They suddenly received an unexpected visitor.

“Is Gu Seohyeong inside?”

“Yes, please come in.”

“Haha, then I’ll excuse myself for a moment.”

He was an older man with gray hair. It looks familiar somehow…

‘Ah,’

Since Kiryeo often watched the news, he could relatively easily recognize who the other person was.

‘He is the president of the association!’

Could the guest’s true identity be none other than the president of the Hunter Association? And the five people who came in with him were his attendants.

‘This is my first time seeing him in person!’

But the problem is… that the President brought a somewhat difficult agenda.

“Miss Seohyeong, this is Japan’s request for peace that we talked about yesterday. Do you see the units written here?”

“Ah, yes.”

“It’s in yen, so when converted to our currency…”

“I understand. I know, but… anyway, I can’t proceed with this right now, you know?”

Soon they began to engage in small fights.

“Hahaha. Why are young people always in such a hurry? Let’s hear the whole story first.”

The main speaker of the conversation was the president of the association. He tried to persuade Gu Seohyeong by citing various reasons. The Japanese side is now in a situation where they need to receive reinforcements as quickly as possible to attack the important gate. They argued that if there’s further delay, Sweden might snatch away this favorable condition…

“No!”

But Gu Seohyeong never gave up her stubbornness. No matter how insignificant the equipment might seem, this task was about repaying a debt to his lifelong benefactor, and it was also a memorable first enchantment.

“Why do you think I turned down all those scouts and came under the association?”

“That’s…”

“Have you already forgotten the terms of our contract? Huh?”

Gu Seohyeong planned to give priority to Kim Kiryeo’s request at any cost.

“I want to be guaranteed the freedom to choose my quest!”

Besides, what if there is a loss right away? She was Asia’s first enchanter.

In other words, just by her existence, it brings future benefits to this country.

“Even as the president of the association, is it really impossible for me to make this request?”

“Yes, I’m sorry.”

Now she had enough power to make her case.

“Hehehe, well then…”

When there’s only one enchanter like that, can they really do anything about it? The president of the association licked his lips in disappointment at Gu Seohyeong’s stubborn refusal. However, there was no further insistence. He gathered his documents quietly and prepared to leave.

“Hey!”

And at that moment, a spark flew into the awakened person who had been quiet until now.

“There, you go outside too.”

“Yes? Me?”

“You’re not supposed to just barge into the enchanter’s workshop like this. Outsiders need permission.”

Whoosh.

The president of the association half-heartedly gestured toward the man who was leaning against the desk. Of course, Gu Seohyeong saw this and told him not to send Kiryeo out, and he stopped her, saying it was okay…

“I understand.”

Kiryeo nodded and followed the other person’s instructions. After all, there is nothing to be gained by confronting those in power over trivial matters.

‘Oh, it’s actually warmer outside.’

Truly a wise move.

But how ironic it is.

Kiryeo’s obedient attitude ended up being the beginning of chaos…

.

.

.

It must have been a few seconds since stepping out into the hallway.

“There, young man!”

Kim Kiryeo turned his head at the call coming from behind, only to find the association president standing there with a wrinkled face.

“By any chance, what’s your hunter rank?”

At first, he asked in a rather gentle voice, so Kim Kiryeo casually revealed his rank without much thought.

“It’s F-Class.”

“What? F-Class?”

However, as soon as the association president learned Kim Kiryeo’s rank, the atmosphere changed drastically. If that’s true, then the precious enchanter is only wasting time into scrap level awakeners.

“Haa, really!”

The president of the association said with a frown on his face.

“No, listen here. Do you have any idea how much damage the country is suffering because of just one person?”

“Yes?”

“Once a beginner enchanter completes strengthening, he or she cannot use the skill for up to two weeks. That’s crucial downtime even after the important gate closes.”

“….!”

“That’s why we just missed out on a major contract moments ago…”

Even S-Class people often can’t reuse enhancement due to the unique ability cooldown of enchanters. What an absurd privilege this is.

“Ugh, even if Miss Gu Seohyeong offered to enchant for you, you should have had the sense to decline.”

Tsk, tsk.

He even clicked his tongue as he thoroughly criticized Kiryeo.

“Are you going to keep being this clueless?”

“Yes?”

“No, if it’s an F-Class, you can buy any equipment in the market.”

An attitude that was clearly different from the humble attitude he showed to the Enchanter. To be honest, since he couldn’t say anything directly to Gu Seohyeong, he was taking his frustration out on an innocent person.

“You are, uh… supposed to be Gu Seohyeong’s benefactor, right?”

“Yes.”

“Then save your thanks for later and maybe take it in cash or something. Just don’t stand in the enchanter’s way.”

Moreover, the president even included slight threats between his sentences. He mentioned that many officials in the Hunter Association viewed this situation unfavorably and questioned how long the enchanter would continue to look after an F-Class Awakener like him. What followed were sharp warnings aimed at a bottom-tier hunter.

‘Hmm.’

But strangely enough, there was no sign of offense throughout the conversation.

‘Now that I think about it, he has a point?’

Because he himself understood this situation.

‘There’s nothing particularly wrong with what he said. The equipment I’m leaving for enchantment is cheap, so it would indeed be better to just convert it to cash.’

Kim Kiryeo did not get angry at what was said was basically reasonable. No, in fact, he was quick to accept logical arguments more than anyone else.

Therefore, after some deliberation, he came up with this proposal.

“Ah, then should I just go now and tell her to stop strengthening it right away?”

A statement that literally 100% reflects the opinion of the association president!

However, there are a few things that need to be pointed out at this point. Kim Kiryeo was born with a fierce look. He also had the trait of always being expressionless unless he consciously controlled it.

“Huh?”

Due to various reasons, Kim Kiryeo’s remarks became quite distorted.

“What are you doing now, threatening to go tell Gu Seohyeong something?”

From the association president’s perspective, it seemed like a stern-looking young man was speaking with a hardened expression on his face.

“You’re just acting like you’re some sort of enchanter because you got one good friend!”

The association president thought that the Awakener in front of him was provoking him by mentioning his friendship with Gu Seohyeong.

Where else would one feel so offended? How could someone so young and only a lowly awakened person treat the president of the association so poorly?

‘What a rude brat!’

The association president’s face reddened with anger. Until this moment, in his mind, Kim Kiryeo was just an F-Class that he could handle.

“Huh?”

But then.

Whoosh.

The man with sambaegan’s eyes who had been facing this way suddenly turned his head to the side.

‘Look at this guy. He’s talking to someone right now, where are his eyes…’

The president of the association was dumbfounded and tried to say something to the other person, but then he ended up keeping his mouth shut.

‘Ugh!’

A mysterious chill runs down his spine. The association president knew the chilling sensation all too well. Wasn’t this the distinctive presence that S-Class hunters possess…!

“Hmm!”

The president of the association quickly adjusted his expression. But he couldn’t help but be surprised again by the person who appeared before his eyes.

‘Huh? Is that guy here?’

Tak, tak.

What appeared with heavy footsteps was none other than Korea’s third S-Class.

Kang Changho.

To explain in more detail, he was an awakened person who was unusually uncooperative with the Association and had a hard time seeing the real thing even for himself.

“Ahem.”

The president of the association personally feels uncomfortable with Kang Changho. No, even if he is not the president of the association, anyone would do the same. That S-Class not only possessed unparalleled power but also had completely uncontrollable personalities.

“Ahem, anyway, what I’m saying is…”

The president tried to casually ignore Kang Changho. However, he wasn’t letting it slide that easily.

“Kim Kiryeo!”

Because he had come to meet the F-class in the hallway.

“What is this? Why are you here again?”

“You’ve been clocking in at the association every day lately. Just checking in.”

The president of the association was astonished by the scene that followed.

Why is Kang Changho acting like he knows the F-Class? And what’s so special about that F-Class that he treats an S-Class so casually…?

“Maybe I shouldn’t have come?”

“It’s a bit burdensome.”

“Hmm.”

“Anyway, now that you’ve checked everything, please leave. There shouldn’t be any danger here.”

The president of the association saw them talking casually and felt something was wrong. So he tried to quietly leave, but even that wasn’t easy.

“Really.”

Tuk.

In that short period of time, Kang Changho grabbed one of the association president’s attendants.

“Anyway, there was an interesting sound coming from these earlier.”

To be exact, he just put his arm on the attendant’s shoulder, but how many awakened people can resist the physical strength of an S-Class?

“H, Hunter Kang Changho! What are you doing now?”

“Kim Kiryeo, if I scold these people here, could you take off that necklace?”

The situation escalated dramatically in an instant. The S-class ignored the words of the president of the association and made ominous remarks.

“H, Hunter-nim! Please keep a safe distance! Otherwise, we will have no choice but to take action!”

Although the security guards were trembling with fear, they began to protect the president of the association as they had been trained to do. It was a response that took all of its strength to the point of being pitiful.

“Is that so?”

Even that felt like a trivial sand castle to this S-Class.

“Keugh…!”

However, in this critical moment, the F-Class began speaking calmly.

“Excuse me. Kang Changho-ssi.”

What followed was a scene he couldn’t even imagine.

“That’s enough, so please leave.”

Who would have thought that someone at the bottom of the hunter ecosystem would sort out the situation so easily!

When Kim Kiryeo pointed out with a tired face, the S-Class responded immediately.

“Enough with the nonsense about taking off the necklace. Please just go home.”

“Why are you so annoying that you can’t get rid of it?”

“My acquaintance will be here soon. And when they see you, they’ll be quite uncomfortable.”

Kang Changho released the attendants without delay. The president of the association fiddled with the defensive items and belatedly breathed a sigh of relief. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the end of the shocking events.

“Oh my gosh.”

Whoosh.

Immediately after, Kim Kiryeo once again directed his gaze towards the end of the corridor.

“It’s not even the appointed time, but you’re already here.”

This is because a new awakened person has entered this building.

Tak, tak.

A neatly shaved skinhead. A piercing settled on the tip of his nose. And even that distinctive physique.

“Hyung-nim!”

He is a defense A-Class hunter boasted by the Neo Sisters Guild. It was Ahn Yoonseung.

“Have you had a good week last week!”

In addition, as soon as he appeared, he bowed 90 degrees to Kim Kiryeo.
