Episode 95. Unrecovered area (1)
“What are you doing to my brother!”
Shin So-ra, who was watching from behind, noticed the situation and grabbed Sung Hyuk-soo’s arm. As she shouted, the eyes of the people around her also turned in this direction.
“student. I see there is a misunderstanding. Me and this friend just shook hands.”
Seong Hyuk-soo answered without changing his expression.
I looked at my hand with which I was shaking hands.
‘I really skillfully controlled my strength.’
Apparently nothing was wrong, but my hands were tingling. When I moved slightly, I felt the pain of a broken or cracked bone.
“Still, I was so happy that I might have given you strength without even realizing it. In case you don’t know, should I go to the health room? It’s my fault, so I’ll take you there myself.”
sure Sung Hyuk-soo knew about my past just like Jeong Kyu-min.
“All right.”
Gesture to avoid the seat and talk separately. I decided to accept this.
“brother. Are you okay?”
I looked at Shin So-ra with a worried look.
“are you okay. What do you have to worry about? He is a person who is working hard for the safety of Korea.”
“then. by the way Rather, don’t the students there know me? I am Seong Hyuk-soo?”
Shin So-ra glared at him as if it was unreasonable.
“So what? It’s the first name I’ve heard. Are you feeling a bit nauseous? I’d rather be good looking. joy!”
Seong Hyuk-soo’s eyebrow trembled.
“calm down. Because I’m fine.”
After subduing Shin So-ra, who showed hostility, I and Sung Hyuk-soo exited the playground and walked toward the training camp.
There was no one in the health room. Instead, there was a call button to call a specialist in case of an emergency. It was thanks to the improvement of the times that quite a few wounds could be solved with unmanned treatment devices.
“ruler. Are your fingers very tingly? I apologize if it hurts. But I hope you understand. It’s not once or twice that I’ve been in trouble because of you.”
“Where have we met?”
“I met countless times indirectly. Our Hunter’s job isn’t just about beating monsters. It’s our true job to catch monsters worse than Monstrum.”
demon.
Those who committed crimes using the power of nature.
In public, it is said that it is only when a serious crime such as murder or rape is committed with this power that it is called a devil, but legally, if you commit an action that will draw a red line, you are treated as a devil.
“Even though they know about my past, they don’t arrest me right away.”
“It’s because you keep slipping away like a mudfish without giving decisive clues. There are many psychological symptoms, but there is no real important physical evidence. Or do you want to turn yourself in and look for light?”
“Sorry, but I have something important to do.”
“I guess so. You’ll be fine.”
Unfortunately, I couldn’t completely throw away this hostile Seong Hyuk-soo.
‘Because in the original work, he was one of Yoosung’s reliable main allies.’
Seong Hyuk-soo is Yoo-seong’s aspiration. I really liked the attitude of fighting for justice. So, he was a person who always supported and supported him in his performance.
In a way, it couldn’t have been a situation where the joys and sorrows were mixed. An unavoidable variable that happened because me and Meteor had different starting points.
“I’ve come to the fore now.”
“Who can say no? huh?”
“If you have any doubts, shouldn’t you wait and see if I’ve really been rehabilitated?”
I never thought I would do what I said to Jung Gyu-min again.
“That’s why I personally led my body and came here to Signal. you are very dangerous There is no bastard more dangerous than you in the aftermath of abusing nature.”
I rated him highly. Because his status as a hunter and the information power based on it were not easily replaceable.
As the association’s hounds, Hunters carry out their duties in both light and shade. As vice-president of the Korea Hunter Association, he saw hunters as his eyes and ears.
It was not unreasonable for him to know about my past activities.
‘If I wanted to, I could have taken on the chairmanship, but he was a person who refused just because he wanted to be more active in the field.’
While using the treatment device, Seong Hyuk-soo sat down on a chair in the health room and crossed one leg.
“To be honest, I was originally the one who came to catch you.”
“Is that so.”
“It’s a selection match, a special invitation, and everything else is an external excuse. But looking at your performance in Signal, your roots are deeper than I thought. There’s even a bumblebee nest near its roots? I thought it would be a big deal if I tried to get this wrong.”
As expected of a person in a position that reigns over the Hunter, it seemed that he had made sure to do a preliminary investigation. It seemed like everyone knew who I was related to.
“It’s not like someone with the rank of vice-president of the association came along simply because he looked like a nuisance.”
“What I really worry about is situations where a guy like you is on par with or under the Septagram. Have there been any controversies lately? Seol Chae-hwa’s right arm hit her head, so it was quite a struggle.”
“Why are you telling me that?”
“Why? I’m asking because I know you’re involved in that case too. First of all, I know that it is related to the reinforcements that help the lady. Knowing what you’ve done in the past, you’re trying to be friendly with that girl… . I mean, it has no choice but to smell bad.”
in short. Doesn’t it mean that I want to know whether I am good or evil?
I said looking straight into his eyes.
“I don’t have much to say. Watch and you will know.”
“Are you really a new person? Do you want me to believe that?”
“I will prove it with actions, not words. I’ve already proven it once. Doesn’t that mean that anyone who knows my past knows everything about my recent activities?”
“… … .”
Sung Hyuk-soo glared at me without saying a word.
The fact that he risked his life to save a child in Neverland. Even if it wasn’t known to the media, Seong Hyuk-soo seemed to know the case in detail.
“It could be that you colluded with the Septagrams.”
“I can’t hold anything in front of someone I want to suspect.”
“Look at what I’m talking about. A bright blue young guy.”
“You speak straight. I am only two years older than you.”
“This child. I lived a more grown-up life than you, who ate your age into an asshole while cheating. You are a baby. ”

Jiying.
It was the sound of the treatment device stopping. I got up from the chair I was sitting in, checking that my fingers were moving properly.
“Next time, if you have something else to call out, please tell me. I’ll make sure to make a place for you.”
“under! Cheeky. i watch you closely When I’m busy, I’ll have someone else watch over me. Behave well in the future.”
Shin So-ra’s three loyalists would have been annoying, but even Seong Hyuk-soo joined them.
‘but.’
Unlike the three loyal subjects whose motive for judgment was solely because of Shin So-ra, Seong Hyuk-soo’s essence was justice. In a way, it belonged to the same category as Yoosung.
In other words, if you prove it over and over again with your actions, it means that you will naturally turn to me. I still just have to work on what I have to do.
Rather, I was grateful for the fact that he was interested in me, even if it had a bad meaning. Because I had to meet Izawa someday anyway.
‘I thought of asking Seol Chae-hwa later, but if things turn out like this, thank you for me.’
Thanks to that, the natural meeting took place, so it’s like a lot of effort.
Tuk-tuk.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of the health room.
“Mr. Kim Do-yoon. Are you inside?”
Even a tiger will come if I say it.
It was Seol Chae-hwa’s voice.
“there is. come in.”
She stepped inside and immediately looked at Seong Hyuk-soo and said,
“Kim Do-yoon is the talent I wanted. Please do not touch it carelessly.”
“miss. Did you come because you were worried about your boyfriend?”
“… Seong Hyuk-soo Mr. If you want the support from Chilsung to end, keep talking about it.”
“Do you have the right to do that?”
Seol Chae-hwa crossed her arms and made a laughable expression.
“I’m not authorized? Where did you get any stupid information from? If it’s the information power of the Hunter Association, you’re bound to be disappointed.”
“miss. No bluffing to me.”
“Good for you. Even so, I have been sponsoring that side out of a sense of duty. The vice-president was the first to argue.”
As if she wasn’t bragging, she picked up her smartphone and started making a call somewhere.
[I answered the phone, Ms. Seol Chae-hwa. It is a two-piece suit.]
“for a moment! wait girl! Let’s do it in our own words!”
Sung Hyuk-soo was frightened and gestured.
The voice over the smartphone is unmistakably Yang Geon-bok. He was the current head of the Korea Hunter Association, handling all sorts of chores on behalf of Seong Hyun-soo, who did not like to assume the chairmanship.
[Miss Chaehwa. I hear Hyuksu’s voice next to me. Maybe that damn child… Big hum. excuse. Did Vice Chairman Seong Hyuk-soo cause any disrespect?]
“no. Looking at it now, it seems that there is still room for conversation. Sorry for calling you when you were busy.”
[Nothing to notice. Our Hunter Association always supports Miss Chae-hwa. especially. If Vice Chairman Seong Hyuk-soo makes trouble, please feel free to contact us. We will clean it up quickly.]
“Hey boy! Clean up! What kind of people is this man treating as garbage!”
Seol Chae-hwa ended the call and looked down at Seong Hyun-soo with a cold gaze.
“So Seong Hyuk-soo. Do you have anything more to say?”
“… … .”
“First, fix your posture and sit down. It’s uncomfortable.”
“yep.”
It was Seong Hyuk-soo, who became a child being punished by an opponent who was ten years older than him.
Heck, when it comes to society, age is just a number. Because there was a higher concept of social status and capital.
“Seong Hyuk-soo. i don’t think bad of you I can tolerate Hunter’s unique rough behavior as a businessman who runs a private military company.”
“Thank you for taking good care of me.”
“I said I didn’t think it was bad, I didn’t say I thought it was good. Listen to people until the end.”
“sorry… .”
Seol Chae-hwa came up to me and said as she stood guard.
“but. I don’t know anything else, but I won’t tolerate it as much as touching the talent I’ve picked out.”
“Lady Chaehwa. Efficiency is the law when you deal with human resources within the line that you can handle.”
“Are you trying to tell me that the bowl is small?”
“It’s a matter of compatibility rather than a matter of dishes. You know this guy’s past, right? We know, but there’s no way you wouldn’t know. This guy is literally the enemy of women.”
I glanced at her.
If it was her personality, she would have investigated me right after our first meeting in the last joint class. Knowing everything, she didn’t stay away from me.
“yes. I know. Not only in the distant past, but also in the recent past.”
Seol Chae-hwa was originally such a person.
“If you tame it the wrong way, you will suffer. he’s a wolf It is also a deadly hunter who skillfully bites a woman’s heart.”
“It’s worth the risk.”
“What is it worth?”
“Do you have any reason for me to tell you that?”
If it’s a talent, even if the opponent is a demon, compromise first. If you don’t take such bold and unconventional actions, you will never be able to stand at the top of Chilsung. She was a young lady from a chaebol family with such ambitions.
Sung Hyuk-soo looked at me with a strange gaze and then stood up.
“Well, okay. Let’s see what our picky Lady Seolchaehwa saw and was fascinated by this kid. Are you a simple fool? Or that I was cleverly brainwashed by this guy. Or maybe there’s something I don’t know about… … . You’ll find out when you open your hands through this test.”
He trudged out of the health room with his hands in his pockets.
Seolchaehwa shook her head. It was an expression of disgust.
“I hope Kim Do-yoon will understand. Even if that person looks so clumsy, he is the number one contributor to security in Korea today.”
“I know. Did you come all the way here to help me?”
“I hurriedly stopped Yu-rim from trying to follow Kim Do-yoon in a murderous atmosphere. For some reason, it seemed like things would get more complicated if he came out.”
“Thank you for your help.”
To my thank you, she replied, scratching her sideburns.
“Thank you. I still haven’t paid off my debt to you.”
To be honest, being my back ship is already enough. There was no reason to stop him from offering something more.
I smiled and asked.
“If that debt bothers you, why don’t you pay it off soon?”
“I will repay the existing debt with compound interest. We are still preparing, so please wait a little longer. I think I will be able to pay it back after the selection test is over.”
If that’s what it means, it’s to be expected. Because Seol Chae-hwa’s reward was always sweet in the original work.
***
“ruler! Then, shall we all cheer up and start?”
The excitement of the reward predicted by Seol Chae-hwa lasted only for a moment.
“Hunter Sung Hyuk-soo. Hunter-nim, are you going with us?”
While boarding the van assigned to each group to head to the unrecovered area, Seong Hyuk-soo was also in Group A’s vehicle with me.
“I’ll tell you in advance in case there is any misunderstanding, but it’s all about power distribution to protect the students. In the other group’s vehicles, active hunters who are as good as me rode together. If you have close friends in other groups, don’t worry.”
Seong Hyuk-soo smiled and answered the question of the same Jo Won in the car.
Shin So-ra, who was sitting in the back seat with me, right next to me, whispered softly to me while covering her mouth with her hand.
“brother. that ugly old man Don’t you think I followed you to keep an eye on you?”
“If you’re going to tell me secretly, do it via messenger. Even if he says small things, he will hear everything. Hunters basically have sensitive five senses.”
As evidence of that, Sung Hyuk-soo’s eyebrows could be seen wriggling while he was talking with other students in the car.
Shin So-ra took out her smartphone this time.
[brother. If you think that person will catch your brother, tell me anytime.]
＜What do you say?＞
[Because I’m always ready for love’s escape!]
[(Emoji flirting with the idol character)]
It was a bonus that he looked at me with a very serious expression and nodded once.
“Stop talking nonsense and think about doing well in the exam.”
“Kwuuu~”
As soon as he pushed her forehead with his index finger, it was Shin So-ra giggling with a humorous expression.
“right. I have a story to tell you guys. Everyone, pay attention for a moment.”
As the vehicle started and headed toward the outskirts of the city, Seong Hyuk-soo clapped his hands and drew the attention of the students inside the car.
“What are you talking about?”
“This time, what you guys have to do when you go out to the unrecovered area is not simply defeating the Monstrum.”
“yes? Instructor said extermination of monster room was the content of the test.”
“That is the main mission, but there are additional missions that I want you to investigate as well. Of course, if you do well on this mission, you can get extra points. There won’t be any penalty if you don’t.”
Everyone was relieved to hear that there would be no penalty points for a while. Some students expressed their curiosity as if the word “additional points” came to mind belatedly.
“What kind of mission are you giving extra points for?”
“you. Have you ever heard of a ghost story like this while wandering around adult-related community sites? The story of a corpse moving alive in an unrecovered area.”
At those words, my shoulders trembled.
‘The body is moving… ?’
Coincidentally, it was a ghost story with a twist.
