143 – The Beginning of the Day
In response to Yoo-seok’s question, Lee Si-woon looked directly at Yoo-seok and said,
“Do you think I need to tell you that?”
Yoo-seok’s expression hardened at Si-woon’s words. The answer went beyond being cold and made Yoo-seok feel even a slight sense of betrayal.
“Aren’t we allies?”
Yoo-seok’s tone rose firmly as he asked. Yoo-seok believed that Shi-woon considered him a colleague. If it’s a colleague, can’t you tell me about the level?
“Why are you curious about my level?”
“… I’m sorry if it’s inconvenient. I won’t ask more.”
Yoo-seok took his eyes off Si-woon. As Yoo-seok’s expression grew cold, Hye-ryeong stabbed Si-woon in the side.
“Hey, hey. Can you tell me about your level? Are you drawing too many lines? Are we not even that close? Won’t you tell me if I ask?”
“No, I guess I just asked.”
Yoo Seok answered instead. Siwoon looked at Yooseok. Even though he tries not to show off, his face seems to be full of sadness.
‘I’ll have to share that story with Jang Yoo-seok.’
Heeryeong put her hand on Yooseok and Siwoon’s shoulder to ease the harsh atmosphere and put her on her shoulder.
“Ah, ah. We’ve become quite close now, wouldn’t it be nice if we got along well? There will be many days to see you in the future.”
“… ….”
“Puff….”
Hye-ryeong kicked and laughed at Yoo-seok, who was silently staring straight ahead.
Yooseok, who looked so rugged, couldn’t help but laugh when he saw his lips protruding.
“Did Siwoon, a military leader, get upset by hitting an iron wall?”
“Ah, no, what is a pout….”
“Ah, you’re upset, what? Completely different from what you look like, are you a bit timid?”
“It’s not like that.”
Kang Hye-ryeong called Yoo-seok a gunbari. It was a perfect nickname for him, who doesn’t smile much and uses only a stiff ‘Tanaka’ tone. Above all, Hye-ryeong and Yoo-seok spent several days together in her dreams, so the two became quite close.
“Hey, Siwoon. Look at those protruding lips. Even if he is pretending to be chic right now, is he really pissed off?”
“No, what are you talking about?”
When Yoo-seok, her face reddened, became serious, Hye-ryeong giggled and patted Si-woon on the shoulder, then nodded her head.
Siwoon understands the meaning of her gesture now. He’s pissed off, so let me know. That would mean
“Sister. I have something to tell you, Mr. Yooseok. Could you move away for a moment?”
“What? Are you bullying me?”
“No. I have something serious to tell you.”
“What is that? Shouldn’t I know something?”
Hyeryeong dared to ask. It was because she liked the strong air currents between Yoo-seok and Si-woon on the way to Miwol village.
“Sheesh. Well, I get it.”
Hye-ryeong saw Si-woon’s serious face and didn’t ask any more. Siwoon looked at Yooseok and asked.
“Would you like a drink?”
“Well, that’s right.”
The two of them arrived at a bar in Miwol Village.
Two dark beers were ordered at the table and the two talked about various things. Even while talking, Yoo-seok’s answer was a short answer.
“Are you feeling sorry for me right now?”
At Siwoon’s question, Yooseok’s forehead wrinkled. Siwoon took her dark beer glass and tilted her head, swallowing her beer.
Yoo-seok looked around at her gaze from all directions.
All the customers who came to the bar had their eyes on Siwoon. She looked at Siun and whispered, and among them, the eyes of the young women were likable. One woman covered her mouth and laughed as her eyes met her Siwun, telling her group, “I just made eye contact with that handsome Hunter.” Said she was thrilled.
Yoo-seok looked at Si-woon, who silently savored the dark beer.
This regressor isn’t very unusual, but it is unique. He showed unexpected behavior in any hardship, so he overcame every hardship, and this time we started the mission together,
Even though it’s over, all the residents of Miwol Village are paying attention only to Siwoon at this moment.
‘Somehow it feels like I’m getting smaller.’
Guests did not give Yoo-seok a glance.
Shiwoon had become a benefactor to the villagers before he knew it, and he was seen as just a big bachelor.
Yoo-seok, who doesn’t know the feeling of jealousy, was angry at Si-woon for making him feel this way, so he shot him vigorously.
“Isn’t it natural that I feel sad! Didn’t you promise to trust me as a colleague!”
At Yoo-seok’s high-pitched voice, all the guests’ eyes turned to Yoo-seok.
Siwoon turned his head and looked at Yooseok with a calm face.
“You know how to get angry?”
“I am a human too.”
“I know. The reason I don’t even tell you my level is because I don’t consider you my full ally yet.”
Knock! Yoo-seok gulped down the dark beer.
“Yoo Seok. Would you like to make a deal with me? I’ll tell you my level now, so you can do one of my favors too.”
“I dare… “
Yoo-seok tried to say, “You don’t have to tell me,” But he closed his mouth. To be honest, it’s information that you don’t need to know Siwoon’s current level. Besides, if I know that information, should I do a favor? He was a losing business.
However, I kept my mouth shut halfway through because I thought that this might be an opportunity to get really close with Siwoon.
‘People are supposed to open their hearts a little more when the other person does their favor.’
In order to increase the chances of saving his younger brother Jong-woo, he now needs Lee Si-woon, a regressor.
“What are you asking for? Are you asking me, who I don’t even think of as a colleague? Isn’t that a selfish symbol?”
“… If you grant me this request, from then on, Jang Yoo-seok. I will consider you my real colleague.”
Siwoon’s words were enough to suck up Yooseok. The saddest thing is that Yoo-seok is now. But first I had to know what it was.
“What is that request? Let’s listen first and think about it.”
“No. I’ll tell you if you promise to listen. And let me tell you more.”
It was forced. Obviously, Siwoon is being forced. However, Yoo-seok’s heart was shaken.
He said he would tell me more. Could it be that it is related to information that can save my brother?
“What are you trying to tell me? There’s no such thing as forcing yourself to do something if you say you’ll do it without saying a favor first.”
“… It will be a very surprising and interesting story for you.”
“Don’t be vague, tell me what it is. I want to hear it.”
“I am only here. I won’t say more. If you’re curious about that, you can do my favor, or you can just dismiss it as something that never happened.”
“… ….”
The two were having a strange internal fight. Lasers shot from the eyes of the two facing each other, colliding and sparking.
The eyes of the two were tense. However, one eye slanted.
“Haa….”
Yoo Seok gasped for breath and opened his mouth.
“Tell me.”
“Do you know that means that you will do my favor?”
“… ….”
Looking at Yoo-seok who was silent, Si-woon said.
“130.”
“What?”
“You hit level 130.”
“… Now, hold on.”
It seemed that Yoo Seok had been hit on the back of his head with a blunt instrument. He guessed that Siwoon had a higher level than himself. But this wasn’t it. My level is 101, but Lee Si-woon is now 130?
I started working as a hunter on the same line, and also performed cooperative quests together. It’s from level 90, which is the magic section of leveling up. The difference between 101 and 130 was a huge difference, and this difference was impossible.
“It’s an expression of disbelief, so I’ll show you.”
At that moment, a window appeared in front of Yoo-seok’s eyes.
“!”
The system sharing function was used.
Siwoon’s ability information was all hidden, but Lee Siwoon’s level was clearly pointing at 130.
“Oh no, how on earth can a level do this?”
I couldn’t believe it even though I checked it, so I asked. This is nonsense. He is a rare person who is unique in the leveling up speed of Lee Si-woon, who started his life as a hunter like himself. Because he was comparable to Park Tae-seok.
“I don’t like to spread my information around and it’s not important right now. From now on, listen to what I have to say.”
Yoo-seok heard everything that happened in his dream from Si-woon.
Jang Yoo-seok’s eyes and mouth were wide open.
“… Black Hunter Kim Ho-yong could be a fictional character in your dreams.”
Yoo-seok asked, unable to believe the facts. However, Siwoon shook his head.
“Hoyong Kim is a real person. I know everything.”
“… You mean you know everything?”
I couldn’t believe it.
Siwoon, who is ranked F, has no personal connections, and he has no authority to read information about other hunters. This is a lie.
“You won’t believe this either, so let me tell you the process. Through Yoon Seong-hye, the officer in charge, we confirmed that there was a person named Kim Ho-yong, and that he was out of the ordinary hunter’s way.”
If it is Yoon Seong-hye, it is possible. Because she is a woman with the back of a father.
It was only after hearing his words that I agreed. At the same time, Yoo-seok felt the hair on his body stand up.
“… Identify the regressor on the association side and let me know. That is my request of you.”
“Why do you believe that there will be a regressor on the side of the Association?”
“I definitely have. Watch and you’ll find out. And now three days later… that day.”
The word “Three days later” Gave me strength. That day three days later. Because it is the day when they are put into a place where life and death are not certain.

A black Rolls-Royce skidded to a stop in front of the building. The man who got off the driver’s seat sprinted to the back seat and opened the door, and he got out through the crack in the door. It was Kwak Dae-ik, the president of the association.
As he buttoned his suit, he looked in front of him and frowned. He clicked his tongue as the white Rolls Royce stopped in front of him.
‘It kills the timing.’
I really didn’t like that car, which was the same type as yours, but of a different color. Exactly, I don’t like that car owner.
A man who got out of a white Rolls-Royce approached Kwak Dae-ik.
“It’s nice to see you here, Mr. President.”
Yoon Dong-seok reached out his hand to Dae-ik. Dae-ik also held out his hand and shook hands, smiling at each other.
‘Yoon Dong-seok. He’s been saying sh*t that I really don’t want to do in the morning.’
The two walked side by side to the lobby.
“What do you think the chances of success for this mission, Vice President?”
“Half and half.”
“Half and half?”
Daeik mysteriously raised his end. As if it contained sarcasm.
“… It would be great if this matter worked out.”
Dongseok’s words felt really shameless. To the point where I want to rip the mouth that says that.
‘I’m pretty sure you’re like that.’
Daeik looked at Dongseok and laughed, hiding his thoughts.
On the other hand, Dongseok’s eyes were relaxed as he looked at Daeik.
‘The president of the association. I already know you have a monster by your side. But it won’t be easy.’
The two boarded the VVIP-only elevator in the association building.
Ding!
The two did not continue their conversation while the elevator rose.
While making pictures to kill each other. However, there was no need to mix more than a certain amount of conversation between the relationships that pretended to be roughly respectful before the picture was discovered.
-17Th floor.
Ding!
“See you later.”
At Daeik’s greeting, Dongseok smiled and bowed her head.
Dong-seok’s eyes were filled with murder as he looked at Dae-ik’s back through the crack in the elevator door.
“Is the president of the association here?”
Daeik hurriedly entered the president’s office, ignoring the secretary’s greetings.
I greeted her politely enough that the red skirt was pulled up around her bent hips.
‘Today seems to be a sensitive day again.’
Entering the association’s president’s office, Daeik chewed on his cigar and quietly went into the receiver.
“If Lee Soo-cheol sees it, check it out right away and report it to me.”

Five men are standing in front of an open gate in the middle of the wilderness of the empty plains of the other world.
“Chief Lee. The mana value cannot be measured.”
The man said to Lee Soo-chul, the team leader of the 1st Management Division. Lee Soo-cheol stretched out his hand that had been touching his chin in front of the gate.
As soon as his finger touched the transparent gate, a small spark flew out and his finger flew out.
“There really is a discord.”
Discord is what happens when the gate refuses when the chakra is too high or too low to be put into the gate. This phenomenon was the former.
“I have a high rank, so there is no point in having a discord with me.”
“We have already confirmed that discord is occurring for E-rank hunters.”
“Um….”
Sucheol looked up at the huge gate. Such gates are called unknown gates. The gate that checks the conditions of the hunter’s chakra. What’s funny is that this gate seems to only allow F-ranks with a very small amount of chakra, even though the level of magical power is so dangerous that it cannot be measured.
“Assistant Kim. Did you report it to the president of the association?”
“Yes, but… Wouldn’t that be dangerous?”
Soo-cheol was extremely sympathetic to Dae-ri Kim’s words. This gate is a gate where mana cannot be measured. Normally, these gates are known to be very dangerous, but to put F-rank chicks in these places.
“Until then, it is none of our business.”
“Anyway, isn’t this like sending chicks to the desert?”
“You don’t care!”
“Ha, but chief….”
“It’s an important mission, isn’t it? What power do i have? If you want to do it from the top, you have to do it.”
Soocheol looked back at the sight. Ten people were walking.
Amidst the crowd, a woman approached.
“I am Yoon Seong-hye, the manager in charge of the starting team this time.”
“Ah, nice to meet you. I’m Lee Soo-cheol, the first manager.”
“There are nine people in total. I gave clear instructions to everyone.”
Soo-cheol examined the faces of her nine hunters one by one.
With the exception of one middle-aged child, all of them were young.
He quietly clicked his tongue in his pity.
‘This will be your grave.’
