Chapter 167 Seoul after a long time
“Jihoo! Jihoo!”
A familiar voice came from outside the window.
I decided to go to Seoul today. The biggest reason was that Jihoo needed a Hunter level.
“No, what time are you here already?”
I glanced at the clock.
4:30 in the morning.
It’s not even grandma, it’s to wake up at this time and wake up Jihoo. Ji-hoo also wakes up at 5:00, but that’s because he finished getting ready earlier than that.
“Jihoo! late! Get up quickly!”
And at what time do you shout in front of the house, not on your cell phone?
“… … I have silenced it.”
Jihoo stretched after checking his phone. If you roughly wash and prepare, it’s done in 15 minutes. I don’t have any intention of getting an appraisal or production grade yet, so there’s no need to dress neatly.
Besides, I was going to go to the field when the time came, so it’s important to dress comfortably.
‘In case you don’t know, pack all your equipment.’
Jihoo also checked the inventory.
The inventory, which overlaps up to 100 in a total of 12 spaces, was already full.
1. Brilliant Oasis (56 horses)
2. Flame Lerlia
3. Advanced Trauma Recovery Potion (20ea)
4. Advanced Magical Recovery Potion (30ea)
5. Shrine of Cold Flame
6. Arrows of Cold Flame (12)
7. Quiver of the Cold Flame
8. Witch’s Robe
9. Dragon Witch
10. Thunder
11. Reinforced Tungsten Coal (100)
12. Advanced Mana Stone (22)
Artifacts and potions that need to be taken out and used in a hurry in the inventory. Also, [Lerlia of Flame], which could not be used because the level of [Dominance] was low, was added, and there was water scooped from [Brilliant Oasis], which was heavy and bulky.
‘The thing I regret is the arrows that don’t fit in the quiver.’
must be stored separately.
Still, when I took it out, it was convenient to take out the quiver first, install it, and put the arrow in there, but I couldn’t help but feel that the seat was a waste.
Wear [Dreaming Shade] and go.
It doesn’t look like an artifact, and it’s cool, so it’s good to wear on a daily basis. In addition, it even regulates the temperature, so if you wear only this in winter, you won’t be cold.
[Felix’s Wings] I also wanted to put it in my inventory, but I put it in the subspace because I didn’t want to use it in such a hurry.
I was worried.
After all, the [Blink] attached to the [Felix’s Wings] would be more helpful in a dangerous situation.
‘Still, with this level of armor and weapons, there’s no risk. Also, if it’s that dangerous, I might have to protect others.’
Is there anything I need to use Blink for?
Through the silent darkness and the witch’s robes?
It is also the temporal difference between subspace and inventory. In just 5 to 10 seconds, you would have to go 11 floors for that danger to strike.
For such a thing to happen in Seoul, there must be a risk that Seoul will collapse.
‘In the subspace… … Adamantium, Orb of Chlorination, Intermediate Mana Stone, Hercia’s Leather. It still exists.’
Subspace in the bracelet.
It contained items to be used in production.
It is a storage place without bulkiness and weight, so it takes time to open, but it is very convenient to store.
So these days, I don’t even pack [Advanced Space Expansion Backpack] unless I need to pack materials separately.
‘I’ve already used up a few high-level magic stones.’
Advanced Mana Stone.
The reason I put this in my inventory was to use this magic stone as a medium to [intervene in settings] in a dangerous situation.
A high-grade mana stone with enormous energy is a very good material that can reduce SP. It would be nice to fill 100 of them, but the price is also expensive and the quantity is not that much.
“Why are you out so late!”
“… … It’s 5 o’clock in the morning. Even if you go to Seoul, it’s a little past 6 o’clock. There is nowhere to open!”
“Get a quick rating and go to a restaurant!”
Jihoo narrowed his eyes at Lee Heeyeon’s words.
“So why are you dressed like this?”
“why? Isn’t it pretty?”
round-
Lee Hee-yeon wore a sky-blue dress and turned around.
There were also white flowers painted on the bright yellow, but it wasn’t bad. Besides, he was 170 cm tall and was a hunter, so a body without any flab is bound to be cool.
“… … Did you know you were going to the field today?”
“of course! I put my armament in that bag. Even so, aren’t you level 7?”
“Since when did level 7 become such a thing?”
“Hmmm. Shall we go soon?”
Lee Hee-yeon walked lightly to the passenger seat, and Ji-hoo got into the driver’s seat.
Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve been to Seoul, so it wouldn’t be bad to decorate it. It wouldn’t be bad to eat something delicious and go shopping while you’re gone.
“So what grade will you get?”
“How much would be appropriate?”
Jihoo’s power level has already reached 9.
It rose significantly while using [Dragon Witch], and with the [Witch’s Robe] overlaid, the level of power reached 9.
“Oh, that’s great. Even if the equipment is not recognized anyway, it can be said that it is recognized to some extent thanks to [achievements].”
“Is that so?”
Lee Hee-yeon knows this better than Ji-hoo.
[Achievements]. The achievement she is talking about here is, of course, not the ‘achievement’ that Jihoo receives SP. Should I consider it [career]?
What kind of ruins, dungeons, fields, etc. do you have the history of defeating what kind of monsters? In particular, ‘support service’ in a disaster situation scores high.
“Yeah, maybe when I said that I used the power of the witch without wearing any equipment… … In addition to the basic stats and the achievement of ‘magic’, you would get an A grade enough?”
Lee Hee-yeon must have done the calculations while she was talking, and even after she said everything, she made a surprised expression.
“Is that enough?”
“Common magic 5 stars, sorcery 5 stars, alchemy 3 stars. In addition to the witch’s power, if you combine that magic control ability amplification and this and that, it’s more than enough… … . In addition, how much career recognition is important, you should go for that, right?”
Lee Hee-yeon is objective.
Ordinary people view the world subjectively. Especially when you see yourself or someone close to you.
Jihoo likes that kind of person.
It speaks well.
Especially since he is a person who lives by engineering knowledge. Emotional people are not a good fit, as they prefer logical discussions to emotional empathy.
“If I get tested again soon, I’ll get an A grade… … You may or may not receive it. It’s definitely because of the equipment, so I’m not sure. If you admit that you went to the 11th floor, the possibility is high, but first of all, it will be difficult because you and Miji have a lot of virtue.”
This is very objective.
Certainly, Lee Hee-yeon is still at level 7 of power. Considering the equipment she was wearing, there was only one [Essence of Xuanwu] that raised the power level just by owning it without wearing it.
It was a big improvement for her, who was originally level 4 to 5, but at level 7, it is an ambiguous figure to receive an A rank.
“Still, you have a long career, and if you get a grade based on actual combat scores instead of checking the status window, won’t you get an A grade?”
The [practical score] is to take a practical test.
“I will, but I think I’d better wait until I get an A grade more definitely.”
“is it.”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time, but it’s not old as a B grade.”
Hunter rank.
A number of factors influence this criterion.
The biggest thing is probably the military level, but the career and achievements as a hunter are also important factors.
Just because a child has [Psychokinesis (S)] with a power level of 9 does not give an A or S grade. It is because they have power, but it is judged that they do not have the ability to use it.
Still, at least a B grade.
Lee Hee-yeon’s rise to B-class with a level 4 force is the opposite reason.
Although the level of power is low, it was judged that he had ‘power’ that exceeded the level of power due to his long career.
“Anyway, I’ll take it next time. I don’t want to sweat while wearing a dress like this.”
“Yes, I will also be judged on the strength level, and I will only do a little magic test.”
High grades are not required.
The reason I came to Seoul after a long time was because I needed things, and while I was there, I wanted to see a general [Field] rather than a tower.
That’s why I didn’t bother to tell team leader Oh Yong-pil.
‘What’s the use of putting on a VVIP course?’
Hunter.
It was also a word that I had been dreaming of for a long time.
Since Jihoo grew up in a harsh battlefield when he was young, his desire to become a ‘Hunter’ was not very strong.
However, as I got older and the war ended, the existence of ‘Hunter’ that I saw on TV was a star. A [Hero] who is handsome, pretty, and uses strong power to subdue a giant monster that threatens humans.
First of all, if you look at it through the eyes of others, it may seem like ‘making money comfortably’. In fact, there are people who can’t earn hundreds or even hundreds of billions of dollars even if they risk their lives, so it’s not wrong in a way.
Importantly,
‘It was cool.’
For that reason alone, there were countless people who wanted to become [Hunters]. Jihoo also once had such a dream.
‘In times of war, hunters are just soldiers who don’t know when they’ll die, but in times of peace, hunters were stars.’
I don’t really have that kind of thinking right now.
From nob le mt l. co m
Memories from when I was young, that’s just about it.
And if it’s a few things, it’s a bad feeling. When he was working in Seoul in the past, it was Hunter who gave him the most power.
‘It’s all a thing of the past.’
The two arrived at the [Korea Hunter Association] building at 6:30 in the morning.
“… … You didn’t open the door.”
“hehehe. They said they open at 7.”
“… … .”
“Isn’t this kind of leisure bad?”
The two waited for 30 minutes.
And as soon as the front door of the association building opened, I went in and registered. Since I had applied for documents through the app in advance, there was nothing to write, and I just had to wait a bit and get the grade.
“I’ll go.”
“Yeah, get rid of it quickly and come. hungry.”
Jihoo headed to the rating examination room.
There is nothing difficult about rating.
All you have to do is show the military level in the most important [Status window], show your magic skills, and even show the witch’s power.
‘There’s no need to overdo it.’
there’s nothing to hide
Answer questions, show what needs to be shown.
“Shin Ji-hoo?”
“Yes, this is Shin Ji-hoo.”
Upon entering the judging room, there were three judges. On one side, I saw a machine that scans physical abilities and measures mana.
“Hmm, you were originally a appraiser and producer?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“The level of force written on the document… … 9?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The judges looked in disbelief.
However, one of the judges on one side narrowed his eyes and glanced at Jihoo’s coat and wrist.
But he didn’t open his mouth, and the judge next to him asked.
“Status window, is it public?”
“Yes, of course. Only the power level, of course.”
“That is enough.”
That’s how I finished checking Jihoo’s status window.
They put on a look of bewilderment, wondering what was going on. It has no choice but to be, until just a few months ago, he was an appraiser and producer.
If, even assuming that he did not receive the Hunter grade in the presence of the armed forces level, the specs of those who reached the armed forces level 9 were too low.
“Magic and witch powers. Is this all?”
“… … Well, yes. A witch’s power comes from artifacts.”
“If you look at the official records… … You know that you shouldn’t write false facts, right?”
Jihoo suddenly looked at the judge in question.
He looked sharp.
Are you offended that you feel cheated? Is it hard to accept this absurd situation?
‘So I thought I’d only get a B grade.’
I was afraid that something like this would happen.
However, it’s funny to force yourself to hide it. It was just a matter of stating the facts and proving them if you didn’t believe them.
Even if you do that, there is nothing to say if you receive a low grade because it was the power of the equipment.
“There is only one official certification. You can certify the rest, but if you just want official material, feel free to ignore the rest.”
Is this why there is a novel called ‘Hidden Power’? I don’t believe it anyway.
