S-Class Hunter Heals with Monsters - Chapter 132



Only Noblemtl

Episode 132: Secret Weapon Tiptoe

‘oh my god. Why is an S-class hunter in the slums?’

The men took a step back without realizing it.

Cheon Do-un laughed at that sight. Even if he covered his face with a hat, it was no use because Dodak had become a celebrity.

“Dodak, come here.”

-Huh?

When Cheon Do-woon held out his hand, Dodak jumped on top of him.

When I laid him down on my palm and patted his stomach, Dodak’s eyes slowly closed.

It was a peaceful sight. However, the feelings of the two men watching it were not like that.

“Save me… Help me!”

The men quickly knelt down and shouted.

“I didn’t know this organization was yours.”

“Please just take a look. “I will do anything!”

You have to pray to live. They both thought at the same time.

If someone you don’t know sees you, they’ll think you’re making a fuss.

But that wasn’t the case in the eyes of those in the industry.

In the hunter industry, there were basically many people with violent tendencies.

There have been countless instances of resolving grudges held outside within the gate.

They just can’t catch it because there’s no evidence.

There is no law inside the gate.

It was completely different from the law not being applied in the slums.

Given the industry atmosphere, losing against an S-class hunter was like giving up one’s life.

“We will make better signs!”

“Better signage. okay. What are you going to make it with?”

“Well, that… We hired a craftsman to make a sign using the highest quality wood… .”

“That’s not it.”

Cheon Do-un cut off their words.

“This sign was made by Nari Kim.”

“I made it!”

Nari Kim’s chuimsae followed suit.

“That sign contains memories of our family.”

“It contains memories!”

Nari Kim said while stroking the sign she was embracing.

“No matter what you do, you can’t recreate that.”

“It doesn’t exist!”

Ah, that kid is so obnoxious. The men thought as they looked at Nari Kim.

Aside from that, my heart was pounding with anxiety.

A sign filled with memories. If it came out like that, there was no way to compensate.

“Well, what can we do for you?”

“well. If I can’t compensate, I’ll have to go into the pot. “You heard earlier that there was a shortage of meat.”

The men’s complexions turned pale.

It may sound strange to anyone, but it was a huge blow to them.

The opponent is a survivor from an old world overflowing with monsters.

I didn’t think it would be strange to eat human flesh.

‘I guess this is the end of teasing.’

I wouldn’t lie if I said I was that scared.

“You said you didn’t know who the client was, right?”

“yes! Well, because we are free hunters. Because I am not a member of the association… “I receive requests through brokers.”

“but. “There is no way the association would accept such a request.”

The Hunter Association only accepts requests from people with clear identities.

In other words, the requester’s information is made public.

There was no way he would openly ask people to take pictures of slums or step on those who clean them in order to manipulate public opinion.

‘Because I asked Lee Baek-ho to find out who was behind it. Information will come in sooner or later.’

Cheon Do-un put Dodaki in his bag and stood up.

“The disposition will be decided after I visit Gold City. Until then, Lee Du-cheol, you are making those guys work.”

“yes!”

Lee Doo-cheol answered with a bright face.

Cheon Do-un looked back at the men before leaving the room.

“Because Lee Doo-cheol is in charge here. “I’m listening carefully.”

The men’s expressions became distorted.

It was understandable that he followed the words of Cheon Do-un, an S-class hunter.

But not Lee Doo-cheol.

Listening to orders from someone much lower in rank than oneself.

There has never been anything more damaging to pride in the hunter industry.

“no?”

“Oh, no!”

“If you can’t bear it, you can run away.”

Cheondoun implanted his mana into their bodies.

The men were horrified by the thick mana sticking to them.

If you run away, you will definitely be caught. When pulled in, it may be broken in several places.

The men trembled at such a premonition.

“do… I won’t run away. I will do my best!”

I had no choice but to shout like that.

When Cheon Do-un and his group left, they relaxed.

As the pressure on my body disappeared, I felt like I could survive.

‘We had times like that too.’

Lee Doo-cheol and his subordinates looked at the men with sympathetic eyes.

I could guess what they were thinking.

‘why… Why is an S-class hunter in the slums!’

Because this is my hometown.

Men who did not know this lamented their situation.

* * *

Cheon Do-un and his group returned with a broken sign.

Even though it was broken, I had no intention of throwing the sign away.

A sign filled with memories.

A commemorative plaque for the first outing.

What I said to the men wasn’t just something I said.

Cheon Do-un was not the type to be obsessed with something, but he was also not the type to easily throw away what he had decided was his.

‘Let’s add a board to the back and connect it.’

It remains to be seen whether it will work out well.

After placing the sign inside the house, Cheon Do-un used the return stone to move to the front of the Hunter Association.

‘Your brother is probably the only one who uses the return seat like a shuttle bus.’

Nam Ki-seok thought, smiling to himself.

If you went directly from the slums to Gold City, it would have taken several hours.

I arrived there in just a few seconds by going through the gate once.

“welcome. “What brought you here?”

As I entered the lobby, a receptionist approached me.

“I want to meet the president of the association. “Is it up there?”

The guide tilted his head.

I didn’t receive any notification that a customer would be coming. Am I missing something?

“wait a minute. Let me ask you above. “What is your name?”

“Cheon Do-un.”

“yes. Mr. Cheon Do-un. I’ll file it… Now, wait a minute. Mr. Cheon Do-woon?”

The receptionist looked at him with a surprised face.

I didn’t recognize him right away because he was wearing a hat, but when I heard his name, I remembered the promotion exam I had taken not long ago.

[If that friend of Cheon Do-un comes to visit, send it right away.]

What the president of the association said also passed through my mind.

“I’ll pick you up right away!”

“it’s okay. If I’m up there, I’ll get there on my own. “Just leave the contact information.”

“yes! All right.”

The receptionist hurriedly picked up the extension phone.

When they arrived at the president’s office, Lee Un-soo, who received the call, greeted them with a smile.

“Hehe, you’re here. I thought it would come because I left a message. “I didn’t know you would come this early.”

“I was lucky. “I happened to be outside the gate.”

If I was inside the gate, I wouldn’t have known because I wouldn’t have received the text message.

As they sat down on the sofa, Chairman Lee Un-soo opened his mouth.

“I’ll get to the point first. “As you can see from the message, I received a call from your classmate.”

“Just a letter?”

“That’s right. For some reason, he doesn’t come directly to me. “Seeing as they don’t even have the sender’s address written down, it looks like they’re wary of this area.”

‘The remains of Torai No. 17’ were put up for auction.

Classmate No. 49 was considering the possibility that the research institute submitted it.

Therefore, I only sent one-line letters and tried to gauge the other person’s reaction.

“And this is a new letter that arrived a little while ago.”

Chairman Lee Un-soo placed a letter on the table.

The letter this time contained only one short line.

“I can’t walk. I am in the East Sea. -Number 49-」

There was silence in the room for a moment.

“They say they can’t walk…” .”

“Maybe it’s someone from the lab pretending to be my classmate. “He may have sent this letter to lure you in.”

“Probably not.”

Cheon Do-un denied it.

Only Cheon Do-un knew that number 49 went to the East Sea.

In other words, the phrase ‘in the East Sea’ was a code and signal sent to Cheon Do-un.

A signal that you are number 49 and not from the lab.

“Not being able to walk is probably a fact, not based on reaction.”

Number 49 cast an explosion spell inside his body to be free.

Although it is said that the regenerative ability of underwater monsters increases dramatically under water, there is no guarantee that the body will have been fully regenerated.

‘Did the aftereffects make you unable to walk?’

A leg was cut off or something. Or that part of the body is paralyzed and cannot move.

‘There is a possibility.’

It was a miracle that he survived in the first place and escaped the spell.

Instead of gaining life and freedom, I may have received aftereffects that I will have to bear for the rest of my life.

“I wish I was healthy.”

Yubeom muttered next to him.

Although we are not close friends, we share the same subject as a subject. This is also their motivation for escaping from the laboratory, yearning for freedom just like them.

They wanted to live and smile like they did, but was it a vain dream?

As the atmosphere calmed down, the president of the association waved his hand.

“Well, I don’t know what it is, but there seems to be a misunderstanding. “This person is living very well!”

“Living well? “Have you met him?”

“We haven’t met. However, through this letter, the tracer was able to find the sender. “This is a picture taken from afar.”

Chairman Lee Un-soo placed a photo on the table.

In the photo, a man was in the sea.

At first glance, it is a picture of water play. However, the shadow of the lower body in the water was strange.

“It’s the Little Mermaid!”

Nari Kim shouted. But as she examined the photo, she tilted her head.

“Oh, no. “It’s my mermaid uncle.”

The princess was transformed into an uncle.

As Nari Kim said, the man in the water had a bizarre appearance.

The lower body submerged in water looked like a shark.

A huge fin on its back. Webbed between fingers. Fish-like scales grew all over the skin.

Other than that, the man’s face in the photo looked bright.

“Are your motives correct?”

“well. I don’t know because her face has changed a lot. “Can’t I come back in human form?”

“I don’t know about that. If you get close, it immediately dives and disappears. “This is also a photo taken from a long distance away.”

The siblings nodded as if they understood what the chairman said.

“I’m going to be wary of the hunters. “If you look like that, you’ve probably been mistaken for a monster and attacked more than once.”

They knew because they had experienced it themselves.

Cheon Do-un looked at the photo.

The photo itself was blurry, but the scars left all over the body were clearly visible.

The skin was distorted in various places due to severe burns.

There were also bumpy scars, as if the body had been torn apart and put back together.

These were traces left by an explosion spell.

“Can you get rid of those scars?”

“It would be possible if you have advanced healing abilities.”

The chairman laughed.

“And this is the Hunter Association, so there are a lot of talented people from that branch. Are you going to meet me?”

“If they are willing to do that. “If you hear anything more, please let me know.”

“Of course. Oh, and one more thing. “Dodak’s hunter ID has arrived.”

When the chairman winked, the chief secretary brought a small box.

When I opened the box, a small hunter ID the size of an identification photo came out.

Hard yet light material. Something like a signpost with a soft string.

【Grade: S】

【Name: Dodaki】

A hunter ID card with a photo of Dodak with an Afro hairstyle yawning.

The custom-made item has finally arrived.

“It’s pretty small.”

Cheon Do-un opened the bag. He tried to take Dodak out, but before he could, Dodak jumped out as if flying.

-Huh… !

Dodak, who is full of strength thanks to his shared physical ability, stretched out his arms in a Superman pose.

I jumped too high, but it was okay. I wasn’t embarrassed as I had already experienced it once.

-Help, hehe!

Dodak spun two wheels in the air.

“Do, dodak is spinning round and round!”

Nari Kim clapped from the side.

“It’s a somersault!”

In response to that shout, Dodak landed on the table.

When combined with the red coat, an optical illusion was created where the landing pose looked cool.

“As I live, I see all the tricks the grassroots do.”

The siblings said with a smile. Nam Ki-seok and Kim Nari also laughed.

Just two people. Chairman Lee Un-soo and Chief of Staff couldn’t help but open their mouths.

“W-What is that Mandragora…?” ?”

Wasn’t Mandragor a monster with the lowest motor skills?

Chairman Lee Woon-soo opened his eyes and looked at Dodak.

Dodak’s eyes also widened.

– Huh, huh?

Dodak’s eyes shook when he saw Cheon Do-un’s hair.

How did this happen? I fed him 15 berries, but why are the helper’s leaves still so thin?

I thought that since it was fed abundantly, it would have turned into a broad leaf like its own.

That expectation was different. What is the reason?

Dodaki looked at Cheon Do-un with eagle eyes.

The gaze stopped at the baseball cap worn by Cheon Do-woon.

-Help, hehe!

I found out the cause. It’s because he’s wearing something strange on his head.

Something dark is pressing on the leaves.

-Huh!

You have to take that off.

Dodak gathered strength at the roots of his feet and prepared to jump. The place to land is Cheon Doun’s shoulder.

Angle adjusted, force adjusted, landing point confirmed.

-Huh… huh!

Dodak straightened the roots of his feet that were bent. It was different from before, when I crashed frequently.

As he shared Cheon Do-woon’s eyesight and physical ability, he had the power to jump.

Dodaki drew a parabola and landed on Cheon Do-woon’s shoulder.

Everyone’s eyes followed Dodaki and moved parabolically.

Dodak stretched out his arms and lifted Cheon Doun’s hat upward.

-Whoa, whoa… ?

I wasn’t tall enough. She didn’t come off completely.

-Help, hehe!

Dodak raised his secret weapon, tiptoe.

Height increased by 2 cm.

Still, it wasn’t enough to push the hat up completely.

The roots of my arms stretched upward trembled. The roots of my feet were also trembling.

“why. “Do you want this?”

Cheon Do-un took off his hat and held it out to Dodak.
