S-Class Hunter Heals with Monsters - Chapter 195
Only Noblemtl
195. A resort island that only the strong can enjoy
* * *
Cheon Do-woon raised his arm and called Blue.
Blue, who was sitting on a nearby rock, saw his gesture and flew over to land.
“I’ll go and get Nam Ki-seok. Kim Na-ri, you stay here with your siblings.”
“Okay. But is Uncle Nam Ki-seok the only one coming?”
“Yes. Why?”
“I wish the other uncles would come too. I wish Grandpa Joseph would come too. It would be nice to have everyone together.”
The innocent Kim Na-ri wanted to invite everyone to the training camp.
Cheon Do-woon thought for a moment and then nodded.
The more people who participate in training, the higher the morale.
“Then I guess I’ll have to bring number 49 too. Rehabilitation is best done in extreme environments.”
“Oh? Is it better to do rehabilitation in an extreme environment?”
“I guess so.”
Cheon Do-woon answered while recalling things he had seen when he was young.
“When people are pushed to extreme situations, they display superhuman strength. That speeds up their recovery.”
“Oh, I didn’t know. So that’s what it is.”
“That’s right. I’ve seen similar cases a lot in the old days.”
Isn’t that just because they were struggling to survive?
The siblings had such thoughts but did not say anything.
There was no need to stop me, I was told that I could see something interesting.
“Then I’ll be back.”
Cheon Do-woon climbed onto Blue. Kim Na-ri didn’t follow him because he said he would be back soon.
Instead, I asked for a favor.
“Sir, when you come, please bring my easel.”
“Draw a picture?”
“Yes.”
“What else do you need besides an easel?”
“I need an apron that will turn me into a painter. I also need arm warmers.”
Kim Na-ri requested a painter transformation set.
The beret was already on so it was fine.
“Crayons are fine as tools?”
“Yes. I will master crayons. Only when I master crayons can I move on to the next step.”
“What’s the next step?”
“I’m painting a mural in the research building. That’s my mission!”
Kim Na-ri said, raising her arms.
Are you planning to draw the mural with crayons too?
Cheon Do-woon laughed. The siblings next to him also had smiles on their lips.
‘I guess I’ll need a lot of crayons.’
There’s no rule that says you can’t draw a mural with crayons. If you want to, do it.
Cheon Do-woon did not stop Kim Na-ri’s plan.
“Then I’ll go get the crayons and come back. Go play with your siblings.”
“Okay. Thank you.”
Kim Na-ri bowed her head in greeting.
Cheon Do-woon waved his hand and flew up with Blue.

Nam Ki-seok came out into the yard with a cup of coffee he had made himself.
He sat at the table and enjoyed a leisurely cup of coffee.
Could this be the prime of my life? He sometimes wondered.
I became an A-class hunter, which was my dream for years.
The hair that had been buried in the ground has also returned.
I’m also enjoying the thrill of first love.
Of course I knew it was unlikely to happen, but regardless, liking someone was a thrilling experience.
It’s a continuation of happy times. I’m sure this is my prime.
As I was thinking that, Blue flew in and landed in the yard.
Nam Ki-seok saw that and ran over with a bright smile.
“You’re here, brother!”
“Yeah. What about Seok Woo-hyuk and number 49?”
“I went to the waterfall valley for leg rehabilitation. My brother and I took turns helping.”
“Really? Then go and get him. I have something to tell you.”
“All right!”
Nam Ki-seok ran along the path. Meanwhile, Cheon Do-woon went into the closet.
I’m thinking of packing some extra clothes since I’ll be staying on the island for a while.
Then a small box came into his eyes.
‘This is… a prop used when taking pictures of the roots.’
Inside the box, there were clothes neatly packed.
Cheon Do-woon picked up one of them. Aloha shirt and shorts. It was a beach look set.
‘I’ll have to stay on a jungle-like island for a while. A suit would be uncomfortable.’
I should change into this. Cheon Do-woon put his clothes down on the table in the yard.
These clothes were not altered, so making holes for the new growth on the back to pass through was a priority.
“The hole size… is this size enough?”
Cheon Do-woon pulled out a thread from his fingertips and used it to make a small hole in the back of his shirt.
Let’s make a hole in the leaf. Preparation is complete.
Cheon Do-woon took out Dodak and took off his suit. Dodak’s eyes widened at that.
-Huh?
Great helper. This is my favorite suit. Why are you taking it off?
Even though he asked like that, Dodaki did not resist.
It was different from the mask I had tried to keep until the end the other day. This outfit didn’t have the smell of Cheon Do-un.
Even though they were my favorite clothes, I could give them to my assistant whenever he wanted.
Cheon Do-woon took off his suit and lifted his beach-look pants.
“Can I put this on first?”
Cheon Do-woon passed his shorts through Dodak’s feet.
They also wore colorful Aloha shirts.
Complete the look by hanging the decorative sunglasses with a string around your neck.
The beach look is complete.
“The last is the safety device.”
Cheon Do-woon picked up the tube. It was a transparent tube with a flower drawn on it.
I pushed it in from the bottom.
I tied the safety strap around my shoulder to keep it from coming off.
“Okay. I feel relieved now.”
Since Dodak, who can’t swim, has to stay near the water, safety was the top priority.
Dodaki saw a tube inserted into the body.
-Huh?
What is this? It’s solid. It’s tangled. It fits my body perfectly.
-Huh, huh?
Dodaki tapped on the tube. The tube made a rattling sound.
By striking with the base of both arms, it resembled beating a drum.
As if he liked that, Dodak started tapping the tube to the beat.
“Wow, Dodak changed his clothes? Well, when it comes to the ocean, it’s all about the beach look.”
Before I knew it, Nam Ki-seok came over and smiled.
Behind him stood number 49 and Seok Woo-hyuk.
“I brought my brothers.”
“Yeah, good job.”
Cheon Do-woon looked at the group and got down to business.
“I made a temporary residence on an island in the northern sea.”
“Temporary residence?”
“Okay. Nam Ki-seok, you should come with me. You have a lot of work to do.”
“Okay, I should go. Of course I should go!”
Nam Ki-seok answered with an excited face.
The northern seas, where no human being can enter. I was invited to such a place. I couldn’t help but feel curious.
Nam Ki-seok packed his bags with a smile.
“Then let’s board!”
Survival trainee number one, Nam Ki-seok. He climbed onto Blue carrying his bag.
Seok Woo-hyuk, who was looking at it with envy, raised his hand.
“Master, may I go too?”
A volunteer has come forward to participate in survival training.
“Of course. That’s why I asked you to bring me. Pack your bags and get in.”
“thank you!”
A tour of the northern seas? This is something that even the most elite hunters cannot experience.
Seok Woo-hyuk packed his luggage with a happy face and went up to Blue.
Number 49 looked at it with envy. He wasn’t used to walking yet, so he couldn’t join.
At that moment, when I was smiling bitterly in regret, Cheon Do-woon came over and pointed at Blue.
“Go and get on.”
“Me, me too? I still can’t walk very well….”
“Then you should go. You’re going to rehabilitate.”
“Rehabilitation?”
“Yeah. By the time you leave the island, you’ll have bodybuilder legs. Get going.”
Bodybuilder legs. Number 49 laughed at that.
He took Cheon Do-woon’s words as a joke. He thought it was encouragement for him who was having a hard time with rehabilitation.
He didn’t know that Cheon Do-woon was telling only the truth.
Number 49 also climbed up on Blue with a smile. Now all that’s left is Joseph, crouching in front of the garden.
Their eyes met.
“Not riding?”
“It’s not burning.”
Joseph shook his head.
“It’s an island in the North Sea. Aren’t you going?”
“I’m not going.”
He shook his head again.
“It’s a place that people can’t enter. Are you really not going to go?”
He asked subtly, as if offering one last chance. Joseph shook his head firmly this time as well.
“I won’t call you. You guys go.”
Joseph was unwavering.
He was someone who had watched Cheon Do-woon grow up. As such, he knew Cheon Do-woon well.
‘That guy number 17 is smiling with that Buddha-like face, that’s a red light.’
What would happen to the researchers every time he laughed like that?
That smile is a warning light that you should avoid immediately.
Joseph, who sensed this, was wary of Cheon Do-woon’s proposal.
“Mr. Joseph, do you want to come with me?”
Nam Ki-seok, who knew nothing, said with a laugh on the blue.
Joseph looked at Nam Ki-seok with pity for a moment.
“Poor child, farewell.” Joseph mourned Nam Ki-seok as he tried to cross the river.
Cheon Do-woon turned around after seeing Joseph like that.
“I can’t help it if you don’t go. I wanted to take you to the doctor.”
“Your doctor?”
“I found a chimera on the island, a mixture of a thornbush and a mandragora.”
“What? Wait a minute. What is that…!”
What on earth are you talking about?
Joseph wanted to ask that, but the gust of wind created by Blue’s wings prevented him from continuing.
“W-Wait! What are you talking about! Mandragora and thornbush? Chimera? Taking him to the doctor… I’ll go! I’ll go! I’ll go and check up on the kid…!”
Joseph shouted. Blue, who was already flying into the sky, couldn’t hear him.
Joseph waved his arms desperately to turn back Blue.
Nam Ki-seok smiled brightly when he saw that.
“Look over there. Mr. Joseph is waving.”
“Okay. You say hello too.”
“yes!”
Nam Ki-seok waved to Joseph. Seok Woo-hyuk and number 49 also waved from the side.
“That’s not it!”
Joseph shouted.
“Number 17, you bad guy! You just made eye contact with me! Did you hear what I said? Hey, you…! You bad guy! You shouldn’t have said anything!”
Frustrated, Joseph fell to the ground.
Ah, as expected, number 17 is a bad guy.
Joseph’s eyes were moist. There was no one who could sympathize with him like that.
* * *
It’s been a day since I returned to the island.
Dodaki came out to the sandy beach early in the morning.
Every time his short legs moved, small footprints were left in the sand. There was a small, crunching sound.
Dodaki stood tall on the white sand beach and stared at the waves.
I also saw the horizon beyond.
His eyes were manly. Even though he had a round tube on his torso, his dignity was not diminished at all.
-Ugh.
Waves are amazing. When I look at them, my mind becomes organized. Sometimes, old memories come to mind.
What happened when I met my assistant. What happened when we parted ways. What happened on the day we met again.
“What are you doing? What are you thinking about that makes your back look so solemn?”
Cheon Do-woon came up behind him and asked.
“I was wondering where you were going alone this morning. Did you come out to see the ocean?”
Cheon Do-woon sat down next to Dodak. Dodak, who saw that, also sat down on the sandy beach.
The two stood side by side staring at the sea.
The sun began to rise beyond the horizon. The sea sparkled with sunrise.
As the sound of gentle waves joined in, Dodak’s eyes softened.
Dodaki started beating the drum, banging on the tube.
The tips of my feet began to wiggle a little. I started to sing a song in my heart.
When Cheon Do-woon saw that, the corners of his mouth went up.
The siblings who were watching the two from the tree made strange faces.
“When I see them, I can tell it’s a resort.”
When I turned my head, I saw a dark place shadowed by the trees.
There were Nam Gi-seok, Seok Woo-hyeok, and number 49.
They were covered in dirt all over their bodies. Their clothes were torn as if they had been in a war.
The three were surrounded by dozens of chimeras.
“What the heck is going on? Aren’t we supposed to be here for sightseeing?”
Nam Ki-seok straightened his trembling body and spoke. No one answered. No one was in the right frame of mind to do so.
One day after arriving on this island, they fought the Chimeras without rest. They fought without sleep.
‘How did it end up like this?’
I don’t know. I don’t remember. My memories after arriving at the island have flown away.
To be exact, I was too tired to remember.
All I vaguely remember is being thrown between chimeras with the words ‘Let’s train’.
[Don’t use your abilities. First, start with physical training.]
It was thrown in with those conditions attached.
Nam Ki-seok saw the beach.
There, Cheon Do-un and Dodak were sitting in the morning sunlight.
When I raised my head, I saw the siblings lying in the hammock.
The brother and sister, who were eating freshly picked fruit, waved when their eyes met.
‘Phew, this is truly a resort.’
The sea, hammocks, tubes, tropical fruits.
When I looked at them, it was clearly a resort. But when I looked down, I saw that I was surrounded by snarling chimeras.
‘It’s strange. I’m definitely in the same place as my brothers…’
The location is the same, but the atmosphere is different.
What on earth is this? Where on earth have they come from? What happened to the island tour in the northern seas?
‘Is this right?’
The three of them felt like they were about to experience cognitive dissonance. Even in the midst of all that, they rolled around to avoid the chimeras in order to survive.
Even in the places I avoided, there were chimeras.
“evil!”
“100 million!”
“Ugh!”
Three screams rang out in succession.
The first day began at Coconut Family Resort, a place where only the strong can enjoy themselves.
