Chapter 189 – Class B Hunter (1)
The morning after having sex with the car window in the bathroom.
“… Etch.”
“Ugh…”
Naturally, Cha Yu-ri and I greeted the morning with colds.
The two of them had been soaking for nearly two hours in a bathtub where the water had cooled down like an idiot, so in a way it was natural.
“… I hope I never go into the bathroom with you again.”
“…”
In particular, it was only natural for her to be angry with me when she was scheduled to go to work this afternoon, so I had no choice but to nod and express my apologies without answering.
It wasn’t a severe cold that made it difficult to move, but anyway, both I and Cha Yu-ri had a slight fever.
Considering Cha Yu-ri’s afternoon commute, the originally scheduled morning sex would unfortunately have to be omitted.
Although it was a bit regretful that we parted ways without being able to play the second match that Cha Yu-ri first suggested.
Instead, I was able to eat a much better glass of tea in the bathroom, so I didn’t regret it.
“Can you go to work in the afternoon?”
“… So so. Anyway, I was planning to go through a B-class dungeon by myself today anyway, so it doesn’t really matter if I have a cold.”
At least it was fortunate that I hadn’t disrupted Cha Yu-ri’s schedule.
“What about Seongcheol?”
“I think I will probably do individual training. I’m going to go to work in a leisurely way, and I’m going to move just enough to keep my body from getting cold.”
“You don’t take a break even though it’s the day after your promotion.”
“You are still far away. To become an A-class like Cha Yu-ri.”
Since it was a hunter life that started late, I knew the process would be arduous, so I had to walk even during breaks.
It will be a more difficult journey than going from a trainee hunter to a B-rank hunter, going from a B-rank to an A-rank hunter.
“When you become a B-class hunter, you said you would move from the union to the company at that time, right?”
“I don’t know if it will work out. First of all, I need to be able to prove the contents of my activities under a pseudonym, but one of my acquaintances has a close relationship with a person from the company, so I have to listen to it somehow.”
“… You really get to know everyone.”
Of course, this would also be after I persuaded Eun-yeong noona to ask the company’s CEO, Seo Ok-hee, or at least after I met Seo Ok-hee and created an opportunity to appeal to myself.
Nothing was confirmed yet, but at least it was a much better situation than I was a few months ago, a trainee hunter.
“Okay then… To work hard.”
“Next time, if possible, I will greet you at the company.”
“… I won’t have high expectations. I’ll have to wait.”
After having such a leisurely conversation, Cha Yu-ri and I left the love hotel and headed to our respective next destinations.
Looking forward to the day when I will be able to walk in the same direction after leaving the hotel someday.

I went to work at the union in time for the afternoon, but I had no choice but to jump out of the B-class dungeon without being able to swing my sword in less than an hour.
Right after the promotion, there was a feeling that I couldn’t focus on slashing monsters, and even the mild fever, which was quite an obstacle to ignore, made it impossible to fully focus on swinging the sword.
Since the recovery skill was a skill that prevented damage to the body, it was unfortunately not very effective in treating diseases. Regeneration of the damaged part of the body does not mean that the virus that has already entered the body disappears on its own.
Next time I go to Hwayoung’s pharmacy, I’ll have to ask if the lakeside drugstore sells cold medicine or something.
Anyway, I couldn’t fully concentrate on training, so I changed my mind early on and moved to the C-class dungeon’s tomb, not the B-class dungeon.
Even so, the D-class dungeons were too weak for me, and I thought that the monsters in the C-class dungeons were the perfect opponents to use the newly learned skills.
Today, rather than honing my skills, I was planning to focus on increasing the number of skills I could handle.
First of all, I currently have a total of 1105 points.
In addition to that, I unlocked three new achievements with a few days of sex, so I was able to collect a total of 1255 points.
『Release the sexual desire of a partner experiencing a female boss phenomenon.』
『Showing your sex in front of two or more hunters (or aspirants).』
『Help your partner’s masturbation and bring it to a climax.』
The first two were when he showed sex with Han Min-ah in front of Jin-ah and Sun-ah.
The last item must have been the result of masturbation play with Cha Yu-ri in the bathroom.
I thought I hadn’t gotten the first achievement reward for a while, but it was quite enjoyable to experience the feeling of breaking a small challenge like this for the first time in a while.
Since I had accumulated quite a bit of free points, I decided to invest in skill level up rather than the other side after a long time.
First of all, the list of skills I have had so far is roughly this.
『Swordsmanship lv. 6:0/600
Spearmanship lv. 1: 0/100
Shield skill lv. 3: 0/300
Archery lv. 2: 0/200
Fire magic lv. 5:0/500
Ice Magic lv. 1: 0/100
Recovery lv. 3 : 0/300』
It’s a skill composition that is somewhat focused on melee, but anyway, it wasn’t too bad with the current composition, which has melee, long-distance, magical, and auxiliary skills.
Still, in order to develop, it was necessary to balance it to some extent by investing points.
Unlike the past, where I had the goal of passing the B-class Hunter promotion test purely with swordsmanship, I had already passed the promotion test, so there was no reason to delay raising my skill level.
I must have accumulated enough points. I raised the level of three skills by investing a lot of points a little boldly.
First of all, the level of recovery, the only auxiliary skill among the seven skills, was reduced from 3 to 4 (-300).
And like fire magic, cold magic is useful in many ways from 1 to 3 (-300).
And finally, after raising spearmanship from 1 to 3 (-300), I have a total of 355 points left.
Aside from recovery and cold spells, why did spearmanship needlessly be raised to level 3?
Naturally, it was to use the ‘Javelin’ technique, which can be used from a C-class spearman.
After picking up the long branches scattered everywhere in the tomb of the old tree, I threw them as hard as I could towards the nearby C-class monster, Triss.
‘Fall away!!’
Tris, who was hit by my ‘Javelin’, was pierced through my branch and reached extinction.
Power that did not come out when I raised my spearmanship to level 2 as a test and threw it.
It was the destructive power of the ‘Javelin’ skill obtained by raising it to level 3, and what I wanted was this means of long-distance containment.
Unlike magic-type skills, which must consume a lot of internal energy in order to use magic with a certain amount of power.
When using ranged skills rather than magic, I was able to use attacks of similar or greater power with much less energy.
The reason why he quickly consumed his energy in the monster wave he experienced at the summer vacation spot was because he consumed more energy than necessary in flame magic, the only means of long-distance containment.
Of course, there is a fundamental difference between physical attacks and magic attacks, so it can’t be said that this ‘Javelin’ skill is perfectly compatible with magic-type skills.
At least one more trump card was added to reveal powerful power with less internal power.
The reason why spearmanship was made to level 3 instead of archery, which was already level 2, is that spearmanship required relatively less preparation to use.
A bow is an expensive and meticulous weapon, so it takes a long time to learn.
It’s a skill, as long as you use skills, there shouldn’t be any problem with dissipating power, but apart from that, the bow itself was a sensitive weapon that had to be properly managed.
Thread tension, string strength, maintenance method, etc.
There were a lot more things to pay attention to compared to a great sword that didn’t matter even if it was put in a subspace pocket.
Conversely, if I had learned spearmanship, there was no need to purchase a spear to use a javelin.
The biggest advantage of this spearmanship skill was that it could be activated with just a long stick.
About 30 long wooden sticks that can be used for disposable javelins were stored in subspace pouches.
There was no shortage of preparations for emergencies, no matter how many.
In addition, I checked the power of Icicle and Frostbite, the 2nd circle cold magic, and even confirmed that I can use the 3rd circle cold magic, Frost Gust and Avalanche.
By the time I thought that this was a meaningful enough achievement, there was a technique that suddenly passed through my head.
An elemental attack that is often used as a link between magic hunters and ranged hunters.
To put it simply, it means a form of magic attack and mana added to a ranged attack that only adds energy to physical force.
For example, if you cast fire magic over a flying spearman’s spear, it becomes a flame spear.
Just as if an archer’s arrow is overlaid with cold magic, it becomes an ice arrow.
The thought that if I was able to use both ranged attacks and magic attacks, I might be able to use elemental attacks by myself suddenly crossed my mind.
At first glance, what is called double awakening or multiple awakening, which seems omnipotent, actually has several limitations.
One of them is that multiple awakeners cannot use awakening abilities that are completely separate from each other.
If it’s natural, then it’s natural. Awakening abilities are created based on the attributes of the user’s history.
It’s just that I, with my colorless history, have a peculiar constitution, and in general, only one of energy and magic flows through everyone’s body. Except for the recovery-type Awakeners who are flowing with divine power.
Occasionally, there were instances where internal power with a color that was halfway between energy and magic flowed, but usually these awakened people dealt with halfway powers that were neither physical nor magical.
Among the people I know, Eunbyeol is probably on the side of using this mediocre power.
So, the awakening ability of multiple awakeners was only to the extent that they dealt with the awakening ability of the same series.
Proximity awakeners who have awakened swordsmanship will be able to handle spearmanship through double awakening.
It was like a magical Awakener who could handle wind magic would be able to use cold magic or arcane magic.
This was the limit of the abilities of the so-called known Multiple Awakeners.
Therefore, the elemental attack, which requires the mixing of different classes in the magic world, was originally made with the synergy of at least two people’s awakening abilities.
It may not apply to me, who can awaken without any restrictions on the series.
Rather, since I myself was using two skills at once, I don’t have to struggle to match the sum like hunters who use other elemental attacks.
It was my personality that the idea in my head should be put into action right away.
Pick up a suitable tree trunk for spearmanship from the floor and aim it at Woodrello’s body in the distance.
At the same time as the javelin, cold magic was applied, and the flying spear was given cold properties.
At first, I thought it might have been a failure because there was no major change in appearance, but as soon as the javelin touched Woodrello’s body, I was sure that I had been worried for nothing.
‘Bad. Damn.’
The icy stream started from my javelin, which dug halfway through Woodrello’s body, and soon covered the whole of Woodrello’s body.
After a while, the B-class monster’s whole body split and died due to attribute magic that linked two C-class skills.
“This works.”
It was powerful enough to know that it was possible to use it once, so it was a skill that could be used at any time if necessary.
I tried a flame spear instead of an ice spear as a test, but this one wasn’t a very good result.
“Ah.”
As the material of the javelin was wood, the fire spear only burned and crumbled before it flew less than 10 meters away.
When I try the flame spear, I’ll have to use a different material spear.
