Cheolhan had two skills.
One is the S-class skill, ‘Predation’.
And the other one is ‘Growth’, which is also an S grade.
Among them, let’s look at the description of the skill ‘growth’.
『Growth (S): You can grow through predation. The higher the skill level, the higher the level you can grow.
Current Growth Possible Grade: E』
It was a bit of an ambiguous explanation.
From noble mtl dot com
Just look at that description.
I didn’t know what could be grown except for the condition of E grade.
“I thought it was growth for stats until now.”
What is the conclusion that Cheolhan has drawn from his experience so far?
It was the growth of the stats in the status window.
The stats in Cheolhan’s status window.
After the 2nd awakening, it started to grow in decimal units.
It’s different from the normal hunter’s ability rising by 1 unit.
Even after that, every time Cheolhan entered the dungeon and caught a monster.
Little by little, the agility stat had grown.
No matter where I looked on HunterNet, there was no information that the stats increased by decimal points.
Of course, there were similar questions raised by newly awakened hunters.
[Does the stat always go up by 1? Shouldn’t it go up by 0.1?]
└ Are you a newbie? So far, there is no Hunter in the world whose ability has increased by a decimal point.
└ If you roll around the dungeon like a dog. At some point, 1 is up. that’s really bloody.
└ Should I just dry the blood? If you grow straight and get blocked by a wall at some point. That’s when I really vomited.
└ Just run through the dungeon like a dog. After that, at some point, the ability will go up.
I could tell just by looking at the answers to that Hunternet question post.
That there is no Hunter whose stats increase by a decimal point anywhere in the world.
That’s why Cheolhan thought that the skill called ‘growth’ would only increase his stats.
That alone was enough for an S-class effect.
however.
“I never thought I’d be able to raise the level of a skill acquired through predation.”
How many times have you ever caught a howling? I did.
It was Cheol-han who shook his head because it was such a fraudulent ability.
I did.
It seems that he underestimated the ridiculous grade of S.
“To really be able to grow to the level of a skill.”
“skill
Growth Lv.01 (S)
1. Ability to grow: Wild Leap (E)』
– At the current skill level, you can only grow one skill.』
Cheolhan couldn’t believe it and read the newly opened skill window again.
no matter how you look at it
It was showing that the newly acquired ‘Rough Leap (E)’ could be grown.
Isn’t this a fraudulent ability?
“It literally means growth.”
The ‘growth (S)’ that Cheolhan has.
It was a fraudulent skill that did not know how much E-class skills could be developed to D-class or even to what extent.
Of course, if you don’t have predation, you won’t get the skills to grow.
It was a story that had nothing to do with Cheol-han, who already had ‘predation’.
“Then there is no need to hesitate.”
Except for the two S-rank skills I have.
Currently, there was only one skill that Cheolhan could develop.
A wild leap (E).
Even the grade of the skill was E grade.
Let Cheolhan complete his selection.
“skill
Growth Lv.01 (S)
1. Growing Skill: Rough Leap (E) – 0%
– At the current skill level, you can only grow one skill.』
The phrase “growth possible skill” has been changed to a growing skill.
Even the percentage gauge floating next to it.
Probably the moment that number 0 hits 100.
It was clear that the E grade would change to the D grade.
What kind of changes will be shown then?
I couldn’t help but be excited by the anticipation.
but.
Cheolhan’s thoughts could not continue.
rustle.
I heard the sound of footsteps approaching this direction.
“Are you okay?”
It was a Hunter.
From noble mtl dot com
Judging by the equipped equipment, it seems to be a C-class hunter similar to Cheol-han.
“I am Kim Yi-han of the Hunter Bureau Gate Response Team. I came up first when I heard that there was a Hunter who went up to the gate.”
Did you come up while handling the howling from the bottom of the mountain?
The knife in Kim Yi-han’s hand is stained with Howling’s blood.
Cheol-han carefully inspected Kim Yi-han’s knife.
Then he raised his gaze slightly and scanned his face.
I introduced myself as a member of the Gate Response Team of the Hunter Administration.
The reason Cheol-han bothered to look at Kim Yi-han was simple.
Suspicious.
‘Snake eyes. And blood that doesn’t appear to be Howling’s.’
A fact I probably wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t been running only the 9th grade Howling dungeon for the past two months.
The blood on the knife in the hand of Kim Yi-han, who introduced himself as an employee of the gate response team.
It was absolutely not Howling’s.
Then there is only one correct answer.
‘It’s human blood. Howling’s blood is slightly lighter in color than human blood.’
Kim Yi-han, not knowing what Cheol-han was thinking, continued.
As if he were really a gate response team member.
“Excuse me, but I’ll check your ID. Maybe it’s because black hunters are rampant these days. Please understand that this is a formal procedure.”
Cheol-han obediently held out his right arm and showed the hunter watch.
Kim Yi-han took out the scanning device from his bosom and scanned the Hunter Watch.
‘There’s one more reason why I’m not a member of the Administration Bureau.’
The equipment Kim Yi-han brought out was not the latest type.
Earlier this year, the latest Hunter Watch scanning equipment was released.
Other places may still use the old one.
At least the gate response team had to use state-of-the-art equipment.
The gate response team is not inside the dungeon.
It was because I had to deal with monsters pouring through the gate from the outside.
If even the Black Hunter had sneaked in.
It was because he could be hit from behind with a blind knife.
‘Especially if the gate exploded in the mountains like now.’
A mountain without a single person.
Hunters who don’t seem to come up any more.
In this situation, the equipment that Hunter Management Bureau members could verify their identities had to be the latest.
These were C-class, but they were things that I could know because I was a 7-year veteran.
As long as you don’t have any skills.
Because I had to prove my worth by studying all kinds of information.
Without knowing such thoughts of Cheol-han.
Kim Yi-han checks Cheol-han’s information on the scanning device.
Cheol-han showed me the hunter watch obediently.
By showing information before it is updated.
It was to induce the other side’s vigilance.
Without even guessing Cheol-han’s thoughts.
Kim Yi-han smiled like a man.
“You were a Park Cheol-han C-class Hunter. He was a member of the Red Guild. They seem to be active again after taking a break.”
“yes. you’re right.”
“Confirmed. We will contact you after handling the Howlings that Hunter Park Cheol-han caught. Do you have a place to sell them separately?”
“doesn’t exist.”
At Cheolhan’s words.
Kim Yi-han clapped his hands as if it was good.
“Then, we will sell it to a place associated with us and deposit it.”
“yes.”
Is the business over?
Kim Yi-han continued with a friendly smile.
“Then I’ll clean up here. Hunter-nim, it’s okay if you go down first.”
“Is that so?”
“yes. If you go down, you will see our teammates following you.”
“yes. Then I will leave.”
Cheol-han said his last goodbye and turned around.
Now is the moment to start moving down the mountain.
Kang!
Kim Yi-han, who revealed his identity as a member of the gate response team, stabbed himself with a sword.
The sword was blocked by the round shield that Cheolhan momentarily lifted up.
Clearly, he was aiming for the back, which was obviously careless.
However, the opponent blocked it as expected.
In an unexpected situation, Kim Yi-han asked with a smile on his face.
“How did know?”
“I think you ignored it too much because it was C-class.”
Probably the blood on that sword.
It was clear that it was the result of a raid by tricking other hunters as if they were trying to deceive Cheolhan.
Level 9 gate.
If the monster that comes out of it is Howling.
A skilled hunter wouldn’t have come.
Perhaps the nearby Black Hunter, Kim Yi-han, climbed the mountain for the purpose.
as soon as.
Hunter Hunt.
Hunter’s equipment. It was a hunt aimed at a hunter watch that can be identified.
Like Cheolhan, the C-class Hunter Watch.
From the perspective of the Black Hunters, it must have been quite useful.
I heard that it is traded at a fairly high price in the underground market.
When Cheolhan’s Hunter Watch was scanned.
If the information that came to mind seemed to be a fairly strong hunter.
It should have been sent without a raid on the back.
However, Cheolhan was recorded as having no skills.
A half-hunter with no skills.
On top of that, the C-level wall that I haven’t been able to cross for 7 years.
There couldn’t have been a better meal.
“It looks like the same C-class. Aren’t you overdoing it?”
To Cheolhan’s question.
The sarcastic laugh returned.
“It’s not all the same Class C. I just checked and there are no skills. I’m different from chaff like you.”
It was also as expected of Cheolhan.
What made Kim Yi-han decide to raid Cheol-han?
It was because I had no skills.
Cheolhan thought.
‘Rather good.’
It happened that he had acquired a new skill through predation.
There is a situation where the opponent is not aware of the fact and is vigilant.
Slaughter the Howlings for the past two months.
Cheol-han carefully observed how Howling, whom he first met, was leaping towards him.
Even if it’s the same skill.
how much did you understand
And depending on how you utilize it.
The effect that the skill could show was very different.
‘Able to jump up to 1 meter fast.’
Cheolhan took a couple of steps back.
As a result, the distance between Cheol-han and Kim Yi-han can be reached with a leap.
Cheolhan’s back steps.
Kim Yi-han seemed to think that he was stepping back out of fear.
“It was unfortunate. That’s why you have to be careful with the gate that was created in the mountain. Did you waste your life as a hunter for 7 years?”
The moment when Kim Yi-han took a step forward.
‘Rough Leap (E).’
Cheolhan applied strength to his feet and activated the skill.
with the usual jump. The leap using the skill was completely different.
like now.
hooked
“uh?”
He quickly stabbed Kim I-han in the neck with the knife he had hidden under his shield.
“Uh, how?”
An expression that Kim Yi-han couldn’t understand.
It’s just that the equipment is not up to date.
The information of the hunter named Park Cheol-han, which I just checked, was correct.
It was confirmed that even the stats had not changed over the past two years.
If so, I must have had no skills.
The leap that instantly narrowed the space towards himself was a skill.
“You can’t be careless in front of the enemy.”
If it had been Cheolhan in the past, he would not have stabbed his neck.
He probably stabbed a part where the opponent’s life would not be threatened and avoided the place.
But not anymore.
There was no need to put myself in danger by looking at the opponent stupidly anymore.
“that···.”
I was going to say something more, perhaps because it was unfair.
Soon, Kim Yi-han’s head snapped.
It is dead.
As it is, it was enough to report it to the Hunter Administration and deal with the Black Hunter.
I did.
I’m crazy, I feel weird.
It’s like…
“Hungry?”
Clearly, he was not a murderer or a cannibal.
But what is this hunger I feel after seeing that corpse?
“no way?”
Cheolhan quickly opened the status window to check the characteristics.
『Hunger (S): I feel hunger. The stronger the hunger, the stronger the enemy can be hunted. You will crave to devour stronger enemies.』
Cheol-han was able to realize one more thing.
The characteristic of this hunger.
Not just monsters.
that it targets people as well.
Cheol-han’s gaze turned to Kim Yi-han, who was losing his warmth.
