S-Class Hunter Heals with Monsters - Chapter 205



Only Noblemtl

205. King VS Judge

* * *

The moment when Cheon Do-un rode Blue and headed to the island.

Beyond the gate, there was someone typing busily.

It was Baekho Lee, the grandson of the Hunter Association Chairman.

“What are you working so hard for?”

When Chairman Lee Un-soo asked, Lee Baek-ho showed him the computer screen.

“Grandpa, look at this. The Awakened Ones Unified Association is having a spring festival.”

“It’s a spring festival. Was it a sports day where the awakened people gathered together?”

“Oh. Last year, the theme was to throw beanbags into a basket.”

If the grand event at the end of the year was the year-end auction, then in the spring there was the Spring Festival, an event for the Awakened.

Of course, it is not a typical sports day as all participants are Awakened.

It is possible to attack the opposing team through abilities.

It was a festival that became a hot topic because of the spectacle, with all sorts of sabotage attempts pouring in.

“Do you want to participate too?”

“That’s not it. Boss Cheon Do-woon… No. I found it while researching information to give to my brother.”

Lee Baek-ho continued while looking at the site.

“This event is hosted by the Awakened Unification Association. There’s a member here named Park Woo-jung. He’s one of the people trying to get rid of the slums.”

“Oh, like that.”

If that information reaches Cheon Do-woon’s ears, the author’s career will be over.

The association president, who knew that, looked at the photo with a sad expression.

“Grandpa. This event has a lot of great Awakened people participating. A lot of companies come to scout them, right?”

“yes.”

“There’s talk that the government will be sending agents this year. I think one of them is related to the TDA Research Institute.”

Chairman Lee Yun-su’s eyes widened at his grandson’s words.

“It has something to do with the TDA lab?”

“Yeah. I haven’t reported it to my brother yet because I only have a feeling about it. My brother seemed interested in the item I put up for auction.”

The remains of the 17th Torai. The item that Cheon Do-un exhibited.

The only people who would be interested in it were the lab staff.

“What is that person’s name?”

“I don’t know. He’s a government agent, so security is tight. However, I think he’s nicknamed ‘Dando’ among his fellow agents. Or they call him ‘D’ after the abbreviation.”

D. Initials of the nickname Dando. The head instructor of the TDA Research Institute.

Baekho Lee, who was quick-witted, continued speaking with a subtle expression.

“This D thing. Could it be the D in TDA?”

“The person who did such a thing in the past is working for the government?”

“Wouldn’t it be possible if you laundered your identity? Most of the old records have disappeared anyway.”

“If that’s true, it’s terrible. The person who did that is in such a high position.”

Chairman Lee Yun-su’s expression hardened. According to his grandson’s words, he was a man who absolutely had to be brought down.

“What is the theme of this year’s spring festival?”

“Two-person triangle. It’s a race where two people pair up and compete in an obstacle course. There’s also something called recognizing signs from a distance. I don’t know what kind of event this is.”

I don’t know what it is, but people with good eyesight will have an advantage in this.

Chairman Lee Un-soo looked at the site with an interested expression.

“This year’s theme is also unique. What kind of products are there?”

“It’s the same as last year. Trophies and prize money. And the right to make one suggestion regarding policies related to the Awakened.”

“That’s interesting. If Cheon Do-woon joins, who will Lee In-sam-gak pair up with?”

When I think of his partner, I think of Dodak, who always walks around with him.

However, because of the large difference in their physical size, it was uncertain whether they would be able to register together.

‘If it’s possible to register together, should I tie Dodak to my ankle and run?’

Instead of a shoulder buddy, Dodak may be hugging Cheon Do-woon’s ankle.

That would be quite an interesting sight, the president thought to himself, smiling.

“Anyway. I was organizing the documents to let my brother know.”

To do that, you must first track down this government agent named D.

Baekho Lee, a multi-powered person. His ability that has not yet been developed is hiding.

Baekho Lee chuckled. His heart pounded at the thought of digging up secret information.

The president of the association had a subtle expression on his face at that excited expression.

‘My grandson seems to be getting stranger and stranger. Is that okay?’

It seems like things started to get weird after I met Cheon Do-woon. Am I mistaken in thinking that?

‘Hmm… I guess it’s my imagination.’

Yes, it must be because of the mood. Chairman Lee Yun-soo decided to think so.

“I like this island.”

The siblings said, stretching on the beach. It was a peaceful sight to see.

But behind them were large chimeras lying around.

Nam Ki-seok, Seok Woo-hyuk, and number 49 were no exception.

“Wh, it’s heavy… Ugh.”

The three of them were piled up like luggage. Gu-u was sitting calmly on top of them.

“This is the daily life of the coconut family. I draw this.”

Kim Na-ri, the only one who was sane, opened her easel and painted the scenery.

Just when everyone was enjoying the peace, the siblings stopped.

“Blue is coming. Is everything finished already?”

Yoo Beom said. The group looked at the siblings.

Naturally, they saw nothing.

It was only after a while that Blue began to appear as a small dot flying towards me.

‘I can barely see it now. How good is their eyesight?’

I knew it, but it’s really amazing. Blue lowered his altitude by the time they were surprised.

As he landed on the sandy beach, Blue’s tail feathers spread out beautifully.

“Oh, mister. Blue’s tail looks cool!”

“Right? Manager Kim finished making the medicine.”

“This is pretty. It’s great. It’s shiny and cool.”

Kim Na-ri said as she circled around Blue. The siblings also looked amazed.

When everyone saw the tail feathers, Blue raised his head stiffly.

It even spread its tail feathers wide as if it were a bird.

When Kim Na-ri clapped, Blue’s eyes sparkled. Her eyes were filled with happiness.

Cheon Do-woon looked at it and then unloaded the house that Dodak had brought.

“What is that?”

“Dodak’s house. I built it with what was left over from making a sign.”

The siblings looked interested at Cheon Do-woon’s words. It was a house that was quite well-made.

“Did you attach this with green spider web?”

“yes.”

“There’s no trace of spider webs. How did you do that?”

“The squirrel cleaned it up from the side. He brought a leaf and scraped it off before it hardened.”

The siblings kept their mouths shut at Cheon Do-woon’s words.

The story goes that if there had been no Dodak, his log cabin would have become a haunted house.

This proves that Cheon Do-un’s aesthetic sense is inferior to that of a small grassroots.

‘How on earth did this happen… .’

How did someone who was so good at everything else end up losing his aesthetic sense?

While they were questioning, Cheon Do-woon spoke with a serious face.

“It’s great that you’ve built a home. The problem is that there are trespassers inside.”

“Trespasser? In Dodak’s house?”

“Oh. It would be faster to see it in person.”

Cheon Do-un separated the second and third floors.

As the inside was revealed, a coiled sword was seen.

-Beep?

The priest was startled when it suddenly became bright.

I looked around and hid behind the stairs.

Sasa, the master of infiltration. A small snake chick measuring 20 centimeters.

“You broke into my nest. You’re a big shot.”

Yoo Beom said.

“This is a whole other level of problem than trespassing on a garden.”

Yujia also said.

Having lived at the Gate for over 60 years, they knew how dangerous it was to invade someone else’s nest.

“Look into Dodak’s eyes.”

“Those are the eyes of a monster whose territory has been invaded.”

“It looks like the wind is going to blow.”

“I guess I’ll have to intervene if necessary.”

The siblings squatted down in front of the house and said.

Cheon Do-un also squatted down next to him. Seeing their serious expressions, the group also gathered one by one in front of the house.

“If it is necessary, we will also stop it.”

Seok Woo-hyuk and No. 49, who had become immersed in the atmosphere of the Coconut Family, also spoke with serious faces.

‘Why are they acting like that? It’s a fight between monsters with low attack power anyway. Don’t they just end up bickering a bit?’

The only one.

Only Joseph, who was carrying the grass roots on his back, had a puzzled look on his face.

“Oh, the dodak is moving!”

Kim Na-ri’s commentary has begun.

Dodaki jumped down from Cheon Do-woon’s shoulder and went into the house as if he had decided what to do with it.

The tension was palpable. Not a single breath could be heard.

The sage hid behind the stairs and watched the squire.

A yellow chick feather stuck out of the stairs, but I didn’t care.

Mandragora has poor eyesight.

The sage who knew that was sure that Dodak would not recognize him.

What Sasa didn’t expect was that Dodak was currently sharing Cheon Do-woon’s vision.

‘Beep!’

Come on, come on. I’ll run to you the moment you climb the stairs. I’ll nibble on those fragrant leaves.

The priest whetted his appetite.

One step, two steps, three steps.

The moment Dodak approached, Sasa jumped in.

-Beep!

Nimble movements, fierce eyes, small, wide-open mouth.

“Oh oh, the Sasa attacked first!”

Kim Na-ri shouted, clenching her fist.

The preemptive strike was a fatal blow.

“Do, Dodaki dodges! Rolls sideways! How nimble!”

It was an attack that was easy for Dodak, who shared Cheon Do-un’s stamina, to avoid.

The scorpion charged again. This time, Dodak easily dodged it. He dodged it by jumping upward.

Attack. Dodge. Attack again. Dodge again.

The battle continued endlessly.

“It’s fierce. Is Dodak’s strategy to reduce the stamina of the Sasa?”

“Because the opponent is young. Maybe he won’t take action rashly.”

Yoo Beom said, rubbing his chin. Judging from his expression alone, it seemed like he was watching the duel of a lifetime.

The man who circled around the house to catch the raccoon was out of breath.

-Beep… Beep… .

The sage tilted his head. Something seemed strange.

In my experience, the mandragora had to be about the same speed as me.

It was clear, but the roots in front of my eyes were too fast. I couldn’t possibly keep up.

-Beep… Beep!

It couldn’t end like this. The Sasa reared up like a cobra. He even stood up on two legs.

The effect of lifting the legs of a crow with the legs of a chick was also aimed at making the body look larger.

It also fluffs up the chick’s feathers, doubling the effect of making it look bigger.

-Beep! – Medicine!

I’m big! Sasa roared to gain the upper hand. While roaring, he stole a glance at Dodak’s reaction.

‘Beep?’

It’s strange. Why is he so indifferent?

It’s strange that he doesn’t even feel nervous when he sees his own evil appearance.

“Sir, it seems the detective is embarrassed.”

“That’s right. I’m confused. I won’t be able to find Dodak’s weak points.”

The king had no room to dig.

But he can’t back down. All that’s left for him is to charge.

-Beep!

The sasa charged towards the dodak. The chick’s legs clattered as it ran quickly.

-Whew!

Dodaki was the first to attack, swinging the twigs from his arms like a whip.

Podak Podak. A continuous technique that strikes twice in a row. The target’s eyes widened when he was hit by the small roots.

“Oh, sir. The priest is shivering.”

“Yeah. It’s floating.”

“Oops, I stumbled! It looks like I’m holding back from falling.”

“I guess the attack was too strong.”

“Ah, tears are forming at the corners of my eyes!”

“Oh, that’s the limit?”

-Beep… Beep.

I have to hold on. I can’t lose to something like this.

The sasa held on. Of course, the cold-blooded Dodak did not give the sasa any time to recover.

-Ouch, oh yeah!

Podak. Podak, Podak. Dodak swung his stick three times.

It’s so cruel to be hit in the butt three times.

Even the last hit was aimed at the tail.

It gave me the same impact as stubbing my little toe on the corner of a desk.

-Beep…!

Thud. The man couldn’t hold on and fell down.

The siblings, who had been holding their breath at that conclusion, wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

“Whew… The match is decided. Fortunately, it ended without any bloodshed.”

“As expected, Dodak can’t win.”

“Even though he looks like that, he’s a 60-year-old veteran with a lot of experience. He was a tough opponent for a person who hadn’t even been alive for a year.”

The Coconut Family nodded.

Kim Na-ri, who was watching, also clenched her fist.

“It was a great fight. We lost, but we fought well.”

Cheon Do-woon and his siblings nodded.

Nam Ki-seok, Seok Woo-hyuk and number 49 also agreed with moved faces.

Only Joseph stood there blankly with a complicated expression on his face.

‘What’s wrong with them? What the heck? They’re just snakes and mandragoras jumping around like chicks.’

Joseph was puzzled, wondering if there was something he didn’t know about in the current fluttering.

Meanwhile, the sage lowered his head in a frustrated pose.

-Beep… Beep… .

What on earth was the problem? The infiltration was perfect. The attack was also ferocious. This time, the more confident I was, the greater the shock of defeat.

-Beep… Medicine… .

When I lost, my hunger doubled.

The sasa plucked off a petal from the head and ate it. As he groped, a tear fell out of sorrow.

“Ahh… The priest is crying. I feel sorry for the priest.”

Kim Na-ri became restless after seeing that.

Dodaki approached the sergeant after seeing him. Could it be that he was trying to confirm the kill?

The group watched tensely, hoping to stop it if anything happened.

The crow stopped in front of the priest.

The defeated judge could only cry sadly. He could no longer think of rebelling.

Dodaki looked up at Cheondoun. He looked down at Sasa. He looked up at Cheondoun again.

-Ugh.

This snake is being cared for by a helper. Of course, it cannot be treated cruelly.

It is also the duty of a king to lead young monsters on the right path.

Now that we know who’s on top, that’s good enough.

-Ouch, oh yeah!

Dodaki plucked off one of his own fruits.

Three berries that appeared when entering the White Swamp. I gave one of them to the Sasa.

-Beep… Beep?

-Ugh.

-Beep, beep?

-Ugh, uh-uh.

The eyes of Dodak and Sasa met.

An eternity passed for Sasa. His moist eyes shook.

-Beep, beep…!

The sage opened his mouth with trembling eyes.

Dodaki put the fruit in his mouth. The group’s eyes widened at the unexpected sight.

“That, that is…! Sir. The tree gave the fruit to the sasa!”

“Yeah. You’ve made a big decision.”

“So what happens now? Does Sasa become Dodak’s subordinate?”

“Well, is that how it is?”

Before that, what happens if a Sasa eats the fruit of the Mandragora?

The Mandragora fruit is a condensed version of mana.

There was no way that a young monster would eat something like that without any changes.

In the first place, wasn’t the reason Mandragora hid and borne fruit so that it could be targeted by monsters who wanted its power?

‘You’ve swallowed up a great power. There will definitely be changes.’

Cheon Do-woon watched the changes in Sasa with an interested expression.
