Chapter 47 – Change
Guilds and Hunter Associations were attractive options.
But I am a milking hunter.
It was difficult to choose anything.
Whether you enter a guild or join the Hunter Association.
Basically, it requires party hunting.
When dealing with monsters, several people unite and act as a team.
However, I couldn’t use my [Milking] Ability at all in the party.
Let’s say my teammates milk a monster next to me.
Normal teamwork was impossible.
Taking on tasks not related to [Milking] Was also a loss for me.
Fighting normal monsters and fighting monsters that can be [Milked].
The latter was a much better choice for my growth.
I milk to be strong,
Milking for treatment;
Milking to protect people.
If you were forced to enter a guild or hunter association and take on a mission unrelated to milking, it wouldn’t be a good thing.
All of this because I am a milking hunter.
I couldn’t join a regular group.
Then I should become a mercenary.
Become a mercenary mainly engaged in personal activities, go up to Seoul and take on a possible [Milking] Request.
An approximate conclusion has been made.
“Are you moving to Seoul? Yes?”
Sitting on the bed, leaning over and asking me why.
I guess I’m curious about my choice.
“I think that would be nice.”
I nodded. Even here, you can receive requests from all over the country, but Seoul, the capital city, has a lot of information and a wide range of activities.
“Then do you want to join the guild? Or are you going to join the Hunter Association?”
“I’m going to think about it slowly. First of all, start at the highest level, get recognized as an S-class at the Awakening Center, and think again.”
“Wow.”
My level is 96.
Level 100 is not far.
There are about 3 months left before the regular report on Hunter Awakening to the Awakening Center,
Before that, it seemed like I was going to take an S-class.
When you become an S-class, your treatment is significantly different from that of A-class or lower hunters.
If A-class or lower hunters are trainees who are in a hurry to grow,
S-class hunters were close to craftsmen who had mastered their own characteristics.
To compare it to a university, the difference between a graduate student and a professor.
Beginning with S-class hunters, they focus on the growth and training that each individual wants.
Even if it was the same contract, it could be said that it was a superior position than the group.
If I become an S-class hunter, it won’t be a fuss to take me from each guild.
No matter what contract conditions were set, the guild with the most S-class hunters was the winner in the end.
The power structure of this world is determined by how strong S-class hunters are, regardless of guilds, associations, and armies.
Lee Yu-na was surprised to hear that I would soon become such an S-class hunter.
“Wow, Cheonun is really amazing. How long has it been since you woke up, you’re already an S-class hunter.”
“It’s been five years since you became an S-class hunter.”
“Then what are you doing, now you’re in B grade.”
“Once the treatment is stable, you will be able to return to S-class soon.”
“Really? Will that happen?”
Yu-na and I exchanged thanks.
She has a C-class milk constitution, so her current ability is that of a C-class hunter.
Assuming that the breastmilk constitution level is proportional to the hunter’s ability level level, you will be able to recover all your previous skills at the same time as you are fully cured when you reach S-class breastmilk constitution.
I decided to milk Yuna a little harder.
No, I decided to treat it hard.
Anyway.
Next, I looked for monsters to hunt.
At least the level had to be Harpy Field level so that I could get the experience to level 100.
You should be able to milk too.
“…”
Searching the hunter site, there were fewer female monsters than I thought.
Even if there is, it is not in the rift, so party hunting is required.
I flipped through a few pages of the list.
Found one unpopular field.
The control area of the western district of Gyeongsangbuk-do.
[Red-Eyes Medusa (A+ Rank Boss Monster)]
Unusually, this monster did not lead the group,
All approaching monsters and hunters were turned into stones.
Since they hid in the caves of the controlled area and didn’t come out, everyone was leaving them unattended.
An A+ grade boss monster.
Can I hunt
I thought about it for a while.
The opponent’s ability is [Petrification], Which hardens upon eye contact.
Being an A+ grade boss monster, the basic specs were also high.
Hunting alone is dangerous.
Then what if you take Yuna?
I’m simulating the battle in my head,
Lee Yu-na looked at me and asked.
“By the way, if you move to Seoul, what will you do here? The Gyeonggi Southern Special District?”
“?”
“Cheonwoon, wasn’t the reason you were active here to protect this place?”
*
She was right.
The reason I worked in the Gyeonggi Southern Special District was to protect the neighborhood of the orphanage.
This is a dangerous area, so citizens could be sucked into the rift at any time.
There must be many hunters to barely maintain a normal livelihood.
“I feel like I don’t need you now.”
“Why?”
“Park Joong-hyun. He was better suited to qigong than I thought.”
This was unexpected.
A group of people who were party with me in the past.
I started studying late, but it was more successful than I expected.
Even these days, I occasionally watch Park Joong-hyun and his fellow hunters study their skill books, and I was understanding and growing.
Guys who regret why they chewed and ignored me so much.
The fort burns with full enthusiasm for learning.
I reserved one training ground every day and studied all day.
“Come to think of it, it’s about time I watched you train.”
Thanks to Lee Yu-na’s words, I remembered them.
I decided to stop by the training ground while the cracks were all over and I had time to spare.
“Oh, heavenly luck!”
“Heavenly luck!”
Hunters who were in the midst of studying in various ways, such as managing mana at the training ground, training, and sparring, were happy to see me.
“I heard you rose to B rank!”
“Did you clear Harpy Field? What happened?”
“Damn it! I envy you inexhaustibly!”
He surrounded me with all sorts of questions.
I replied slowly and told them of my great and outstanding achievements.
Envy rises in the eyes of the hunters who heard about my heroic story.
“Kuk, I should have studied the skill book long ago.”
“Why have you been lazy all this time?”
“Luck. This, this skill book. Can you explain page 126 to me? I’m not sure why I’m blocked here. The other kids don’t even know.”
Those who hit the ground in regret.
Pointing at a skill book, he asked me for the next lesson.
“You mean the [Understanding Kendo] Book? This is a very difficult part, but to put it simply, when you move your body sideways, relax your wrists…”
“Oh oh.”
While guiding the hunters like that,
Park Joong-hyun, who had been working hard on qigong, stopped training and came to me.
“Cheonwoon, this time around an E-class rift and caught the scavenger guild guys?”
“It did.”
“How is that possible?”
“Easy for a B-rank Hunter.”
The reason why the E-class crack took an hour was because he attacked while testing various skills.
If I set out to catch the boss with all my heart, it would have taken 10 minutes.
Roughly explained.
My grade hasn’t been measured yet, so it’s B grade, but I didn’t even tell me that I was actually A grade.
Because of Park Joong-hyun’s face, who would faint if he found out about it.
“I also recently went up to E+ grade. I practiced qigong as you taught me, and my skills definitely improved.”
“Good.”
“But I can’t do it like you. You’re already in B grade. I can’t believe it, so I’m speechless.”
At one time, Park Joong-hyun was the guy who considered me a rival.
I was out of touch with the guy who was the ace in the group.
Still, I didn’t compromise with him.
In the midst of different opinions, Park Joong-hyun was stronger than me, so I always felt superior.
Now, that relationship has completely collapsed.
Park Joong-hyun couldn’t even feel jealous of me.
Incredible speed of development, difference in skills.
I could only thank him for teaching him the skill book.
“Do you know how much your name is going up and down among the locals of the fort? The strongest hunter in the district has appeared.”
“I see.”
“I heard that you received scout offers from the Woori and Junseong guilds. They are the best guilds in the area.”
“It did.”
I don’t care much, but the Woori Guild and the Junseong Guild were the most influential hunter guilds based in the southern Gyeonggi Special District.
All hunters in this area wanted to join those two guilds.
It was like that when I was active as an F-class hunter too.
“Then which guild will you join?”
Park Joong-hyun asked with an envious gaze.
“I don’t think either way. I am leaving for Seoul.”
“What?”
At my answer, the hunters, including Park Joong-hyun, turned around in unison.
I needed to tell you this.
If I leave, they must protect this place.
The guys who were serious about Miu and Gou and crack attacks.
He trains hard like this, so it’s reassuring to trust him.
*
“Hey, here’s the Hope Orphanage where you grew up.”
“There is our guild and the Junseong guild. Why, think again.”
“Luck. We were wrong Why are you leaving all of a sudden?”
Park Joong-hyun and the hunters started to stop me.
I hold on to it with various voices, whether I have been attached to it in the meantime, or if I am anxious about leaving the most powerful person here.
“Even if I hunt in this area, my level will no longer rise.”
“Then you can join the guild, right? Over there, the Junseong Guild takes on requests from the Hunter Association and attacks high-grade cracks in other regions.”
“Joining a guild hinders my growth. My characteristics are based on enlightenment and personal training.”
They hurriedly tried to stop it, but my intention was already decided.
“What are you going to do with the nursery school in Seoul?”
“To get funding in the form of sponsorship.”
“Then who guards this place?”
“You protect them, these.”
I removed the hands of the clinging guys.
It’s gross, why are you like this?
“I don’t think I watched you guys training for nothing. The village is safe only when you are strong. Everyone is helping and living.”
What was it like that I watched these guys study their skill book?
It was for this.
Everyone get stronger and keep the town a little safer.
“If you go, won’t you come again? I still have a lot of questions to ask. And what if a dangerous crack occurs nearby? If a C-class or higher crack opens, we can’t even stop it.”
The Hunter who asked me for [Understanding Kendo] Page 126 said.
Before they knew it, they treated me like a teacher, like a trustworthy school senior.
“Sometimes he will come. Questions will be accepted via text message. If a rift occurs that those of you C-rank or higher cannot block, contact me. Come quickly and fix it.”
I told them what I was thinking.
Even if I’m here, in fact, it won’t be of much help to them either.
If I clear the E- and F-class rifts, they will have less experience to grow, and if they rely on me to attack C-class or higher rifts, it will be difficult for them to grow into advanced hunters.
It was best to accept requests from time to time and help when large-scale rifts burst.
“Do you really come here sometimes?”
“We must not forget.”
“I want you to ask questions often.”
“Don’t be afraid to go to Seoul. You are the pride of our Gyeonggi Southern Special District.”
The conversation ended amicably.
When we were partying together, we couldn’t eat each other, so we were impatient.
It’s sad to think of breaking up.
In the meantime, Mi Woon-jung may have heard of it.
I was saying hello and taking care of training, but I got a call on my cell phone.
[Cheonwoon Hunter! At around 15:20 PM today, a new crack occurred in the eastern control area in southern Gyeonggi Province. The scale of the crack is expected to be A-class, and if the crack is fully activated, the entire danger zone including the Gyeonggi Southern Special District will be damaged. Hunter, we ask for your quick judgment and quick support.]
The text message was sent to the Hunter Management Bureau, which oversees southern Gyeonggi Province.
Now that he has become a B-class hunter, he has been contacted not only about cracks in the southern Gyeonggi special district, but also about cracks in other regions.
If it is a Class A rift, it will cross the controlled area and cause damage to all adjacent districts.
High-ranking hunters were in charge of attacking such large-scale rifts.
I got a text and came home.
I would have received this contact for any reason.
She’s also a B-class hunter.
If it was an A-class rift, it was perfect for my experience.
You should be able to quickly take the level from 96 to 100.
Large cracks in nearby areas.
This was the battlefield for my highest level.
