Chapter 76 – 076. E-Rank Hunter
076. E-class Hunter
“Congratulations on becoming an E-class hunter.”
Jin Se-yeong greeted me with a smile when I entered Yeongcheon Prosecutor’s Office.
Her black ponytail hair and tight-fitting leggings. Jin Se-young always wore leggings.
Yesterday. I became an E-class Hunter.
There was nothing special about the E-class promotion test. It is to hunt in an F-class dungeon with the association’s staff. The staff looked at my skills and let me pass in an hour.
“Thank you. Sister.”
I answered Jin Se-yeong and moved closer. She naturally stretched out her arms and wrapped them around her waist. As if she had waited, she hugged me and kissed her on the lips. Tongues intertwine and exchange each other’s saliva.
My hand goes naturally towards Jin Se-young’s hips and her breasts.
Jin Se-young took a step away from me and widened the distance.
“Ugh. Not today. Do you remember what I said on the phone earlier?”
“Sorry. You have to have sex every day.”
After a while, I faced Jin Se-young and pointed the knife at each other.
It was always sparring. However, we usually sparred naked without a single thread on each other, but today we are properly dressed.
Glance.
I looked at the man in the center of the training room.
A burly man in his early 40s was watching us with his arms crossed. He was a man with tanned skin. He is wearing a mountaineering suit and wears an eyepatch over his left eye.
Jin Woo-sung.
He is the director of the Yeongcheon Swordsman and Jin Se-young’s father.
According to Jin Se-young, he is an executive of the Zaun Guild and is an A-class hunter with the nickname Poison Beast.
I’ve known about him before, but today is the first time I’ve met him. Jin Woo-sung must have known about me.
The other day, when I sold gold bars to store manager Hwang Min-joon, I had received his help without realizing it.
“Start.”
Surprisingly, despite his rough appearance, his voice was soft.
Yeongcheon-ryu practical training Biho (飛虎).
I rushed with all my might from the front.
I didn’t think it was dangerous. Jin Se-young is a character that even if I do my best, I can’t even brush a hair. I’ve never won a match against Jin Se-young before.
Jin Se-young took my sword lightly.
She is a B-class Hunter. I, who just became an E-class hunter, is no match for me physically.
However, Jin Se-young matches my level every time she sparring.
‘Let’s grab the back this time.’
I stepped on the step and caught Jin Se-young’s back. Jin Se-yeong said that she was deliberately beaten even though she could stop it.
However, if she extends her sword here, she will undoubtedly block it. Her knife stabs at me.
‘This is a projection. I have to avoid it.’
If you block it with a knife, it will rather bend like a snake. I backed away without delay.
Since each other knows about Yeongcheon-ryu’s practical history, it is impossible to properly save the spirit of Yeongcheon-ryu.
‘Today is even tougher. Maybe it’s because there’s a curator.’
As the sparring continued, I got more and more tired. On the other hand, Jin Se-young was fine. It’s a situation I’m familiar with.
‘It’s a gap.’
There was a gap in Jin Se-young’s posture. Of course, it’s a gap left open on purpose.
‘The problem is, is that valid?’
There are two gaps that Jin Se-young shows.
Valid or invalid.
She doesn’t deal with it properly when it hits a gap with a valid hit. It is an invalid trap. Jin Se-yeong forces her to choose between these two whenever she fights. It is a training to properly grasp the opponent’s gaps.
‘… Shit. I can’t judge properly because I’m tired.’
When a person is physically or mentally difficult, their judgment is clouded. And this is when you should be most careful.
‘What is the actual technique that can counterattack from that position? All knowledge? An empty night?’
The number of actual combat that immediately came to mind is more than five.
I couldn’t make a decision.
I gave up on looking for an opening.
When it’s hard to judge, I just give up neatly and aim for the next opportunity. This is one of the things I learned from Jin Se-young.
‘Come.’
Jin Se-young moved. As she approached me, she held her sword in reverse, hiding her blade behind her back. I clicked her tongue.
‘My sister is thinking of ending sparring. It’s the dawn.’
Jin Se-young chooses Seo-gwang, which can be said to be the fastest strike in most critical situations. She’s kind of a habit. I prepared to block out the dawn.
‘If you see the knife and block it, it’s too late. Look at the movement of the shoulder and forearm….’
Jin Se-young’s sword moved. As if I had waited, I raised my sword. It wasn’t dawn.
Her blade lazily passed mine. In my eyes it looked like that.
‘Was it an empty night?’
The knife stopped in front of my throat. I lowered the knife in her hand.
“I lost.”
Jin Se-young lowered the knife at my words and smiled.
“Good work. It was a good decision to give up the gap earlier.”
“…….”
I looked at Jin Se-young with a gaze filled with heat. Jin Se-young smiled as if she was in trouble and shook her head slightly.
Normally, as soon as we finish sparring, we jump right into sex. The sense of defeat I felt after losing in Dalian is to use my fist to release it. In the end, it was the order in which she struggled under my six peaks.
That would be if her father wasn’t here.
“Good work. As Seyoung said, Yujin is definitely talented in Yeongcheon-ryu.”
Jin Woo-sung lightly tapped my shoulder and smiled. I looked at him and smiled awkwardly.
“Why don’t Dad deal with Eugene himself?”
“You know that I’m weak in hand-to-hand combat, right?”
“It’s grade A.”
“Daughter. What was my nickname?”
“…….”
Jin Se-young shut her mouth.
Jin Woo-sung’s nickname is Poison. He is a venomous beast It is not likely that the nickname was given without reason.
“But it’s a bit strange.”
Jin Woo-sung looks at me. The eyes changed. A sharp light shines in his eyes, which were like a benevolent uncle.
“Yes?”
I asked. What’s wrong? Looking back, I’ve never done anything wrong.
“Your skill. Yeongcheon-ryu’s technique is perfect. But in other areas, it is too weak. In general, there is no case where skills grow exclusively in one field. It is impossible. But you don’t know anything else, but Yeongcheon-ryu is a skill that cannot be ignored.”
I realized what Jin Woo-sung was saying. He would find out That I have nothing but Youngcheonryu.
“Isn’t that okay?”
“It’s not okay. Your talent for Yeongcheon-ryu is real. It’s just that swordsmanship is just swordsmanship.”
“…… That word. I have heard of it.”
“Five? To whom? Se-young probably isn’t at that level yet.”
“He’s not a friendly guy.”
“Okay?”
White flag
Baeksanggi told me so.
I told Jin Se-young about Baek Ki-gi a while ago. Of course, I didn’t say it in detail, but I turned it around. And Jin Se-young told me this.
White flag is the first wall I faced. The emotion I felt from Baeksanggi was frustration.
‘No. That guy can’t be my wall.’
I did not acknowledge Jin Se-young’s words. Even if I had the physicality of a D-class hunter, I could win against that guy.
“Anyway. Eugene, your Yeongcheon-ryu is causing disharmony. We need to do this somehow.”
“…… Isn’t it possible to use only Youngcheon Ryu?”
“Can not be done.”
Jin Woo-sung cut it off.
“I told you. Swordsmanship is just swordsmanship. If you’re going to fight someone with equal skill… You will 100% lose because of that disharmony.”
“100%….”
Jin Woo-sung judged only by looking at my Yeongcheon-ryu. He did not consider other skills such as acceleration or full recovery. However, it was a bit shocking to say it openly with such confidence.
“What should I do?”
“It’s the first time I’ve heard of something like this… I can’t be sure. However, I think there are three ways.”
“Three? That’s a lot.”
I was relieved. It doesn’t seem that the situation is so hopeless that it can’t be used at all.
“The first thing is to let go of Yeongcheon-ryu for a while. It is to get away from the Yeongcheon-ryu and live as a general prosecutor and improve your skills. The downside is that it takes a lot of time.”
Are you telling me not to use Yeongcheon-ryu now?
Hate.
How many points did you invest in Yeongcheon-ryu?
“What about the second?”
“It is a practice. Practice. This is the surest way. As you accumulate experience in real battles, the disharmony will naturally disappear. The downside of this method is that it is dangerous.”
“If that’s the case, I go to dungeons regularly.”
“That is not enough. And at least you’ll have to fight enemies of similar skill. And, if possible, you have to fight not only with monsters, but also with people.”
“…….”
I remembered the play life app.
Among the creations I have seen, there is a world that is similar to reality. You can safely experience the real battle there. Even if I die while fighting, the real me won’t die.
“The third one. What is the third?”
“Mana Awakening. Yeongcheon-ryu is real from the practical stage, and the level changes in the advanced stage. Above all, if it’s the power of mana, your skills will go up as well.”
My face couldn’t straighten.
Mana Awakening is not for everyone. Most hunters are said to naturally awaken mana, but there are also hunters who do not.
‘Professor Park said the other day. 20% of D-class hunters can’t awaken mana, so they retire at D-class.’
I know me well
A talent for mana? There could be If there was such a thing, the potential potion would have worked properly the other day.
‘But it’s too early to give up. Because I have a game life app. If you look for creations, you’ll find a way.’
In the end, the play life app is the answer.
I relaxed a serious face. In the first place, my ability is not Yeongcheon-ryu, but a playful life app. Yeongcheon-ryu is just a by-product obtained through the Yu-Hee Life app.
“But what exactly is a high-end skill?”
“Uh? Didn’t Seyoung teach you?”
“Yes.”
What I do know is that there is an advanced skill that uses mana next to the actual skill. I don’t know the details. Jin Se-yeong said it was still too early for her, so she didn’t teach him.
Jin Woo-sung looked at Jin Se-young.
“It is still too early for Eugene. What if you tell me the high-end skills and just empty your mind? If it was Eugene anyway, she would naturally awaken mana, so I thought she would teach me then.”
“It’s true that you can’t use it if you can’t awaken mana. But she doesn’t teach at all. She should know what Yeongcheon Ryu she is learning. Seyoung. In that case, the instructor is disqualified.”
“What did you say. My father is not interested in the Yeongcheon Prosecutor’s Office.”
“Kuhm.”
Jin Woo-sung coughed. The owner of Yeongcheon Swordsman is Jin Woo-seong, but it is Jin Se-young who actually established Yeongcheon Swordsman. If it wasn’t for me, there probably wouldn’t have been a visit to Yeongcheon Prosecutor’s Office today.
Jin Woo-seong, who had nothing to say, looked at me and spoke solemnly.
“If you awaken your mana, you will learn Spirit Heaven Qigong. Yeongcheon Qigong refers to the way to handle mana appropriately for the Yeongcheon style. If you can handle mana through Yeongcheon Qigong… Perhaps right now you will have to choose one of the two according to your talents.”
“A choice?”
“Okay. They are thunder and darkness. No matter how much we talk about theories right now, you who haven’t awakened mana won’t understand. Just know that someday you will reach the stage. At first glance, I will show you directly. Seyoung. Give me a knife.”
“Dad. Please do it in moderation. Don’t break down walls for nothing!”
“Don’t try.”
Jin Woo-sung accepted the knife.
“This is brain light.”
Paperweight!
White lightning strikes the sword Jin Woo-seong is holding.
“In fact, the advanced stage is all about thunder and darkness. Due to the lightning and shading, the actual combat is upgraded.”
Jin Woo-sung took Seo-gwang’s posture.
“The brain light is pleasant. Seyoung has the talent of a thunderbolt.”
Jin Woo-sung swung his sword. A slash of lightning flew through the air and hit the wall. The walls collapse with a roar. An electric current wriggled on the collapsed wall.
I opened my mouth slightly.
I couldn’t see how Jin Woo-sung’s sword was swung. I just saw a slash wrapped around lightning and flying.
‘…… Crazy. Is this the power of mana?’
The words that hunters are real from C-class with mana awakening come to mind.
“Umbria is silver. Among the disciples of Yeongcheon-ryu in the past, there were not many who had the talent of Umyeong-ryu.”
A dark, sticky shadow forms on the blade.
As Jin Woo-seong swung his sword, the sword flew into the wall. The wall wasn’t broken. Instead, the slash did not disappear even after cutting through the wall, and continued to fly toward the sky before disappearing.
“Actually, the darkness is not written like this. Remember that.”
“The wall is down! Didn’t I tell you to do it right?!”
Jin Se-young shouted. Jin Woo-sung laughed awkwardly and started running outside.
“Seyoung. Dad has an important appointment.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?! At there!”
I left behind her father and daughter’s friendly conversation and looked at the collapsed and cracked walls.
‘Mana. Mana. Mana. I need to awaken my mana!’
Weiying.
As the happiness circuit went around, I started imagining my future self.
– Hey hey. Don’t touch that woman. If she doesn’t want to die, then she is.
-… Is it. In the end, I have no choice but to draw my sword….
– Cry! Hwaryeonbi too!
– Brain fracture! Lightning… Cut it!
-What is the last darkness… I myself become a shadow!
“Big… !”
Unknowingly, exclamation came out.
I took out my smartphone.
Let’s take a look at the creations related to mana right now. There were a few, but they weren’t things that made me awaken mana in reality.
“… When you reach level 30, new creations will come out. I have no choice but to put my hopes on it.”
