Chapter 571 – Promotion to Class a Hunter? (1) (Part 3 Begins)

Approximately fifteen days have passed since the battle to subdue the Three-Headed Basilisk in the abandoned village.

Due to various circumstances, my hunter grade was still at B grade.

Of course, it wasn’t that I was disqualified for a promotion or that my promotion was delayed for that reason. It was just that I was so busy with what had happened in the past 15 days that I didn’t have time to even get a promotion.

First of all, if I were to summarize what happened over the past two weeks, I would say that it was busy and a lot of things happened due to various accidents.

First of all, the fact that only class B and class A hunters gathered together to deal with the boss monster of the ‘abandoned village’ was quite a big event, and the fact that most of the details of the subjugation operation were released to the media through video was the biggest reason that kept me busy. .

When the Three-Headed Basilisk was subdued, one of the few remaining guild union employees recorded the scene of the Three-Headed Basilisk subjugation on video, but hastily released it to the media without consulting us.

Thanks to this, it was forcibly revealed that we had caught the boss monster of the ‘Abandoned Village’ and that I was a male awakener. Apart from the fact that the union employee who violated the security rules was immediately fired, the video was already spread through the media and around the world. It was after it was revealed to the public.

Thanks to this, the battle between me and my other colleagues to subdue the Three-Headed Basilisk became publicly known regardless of our will, and the fact that the identity of the male awakener who had been only rumored to be me was eventually known.

… Even the unidentified mask had disappeared at some point, as if it had been damaged during the fight inside the Basilisk’s mouth, making it impossible to hide one’s identity with a mask from now on.

Well, I was planning to reveal my identity when I became an A-level hunter anyway, so the timing itself wasn’t that bad.

The video of me active as a hunter was revealed without any secondary processing, and the unidentified mask was a recognition-impairing artifact that only worked on targets who did not know the face under the mask in the first place.

Just by properly revealing to the press that I was a male awakener through a large media company, people recognized the person in the video as me.

Fortunately, her naked body was not revealed, which was largely due to the wit of CEO Seo Ok-hee, who appeared at the right time.

As soon as she identified the body of the three-headed basilisk we had defeated, she used her awakening ability to shut down all electronic devices around her and then began to clean up the situation.

She said that it was a habit she developed because it became annoying when public opinion began to arise from the other side before the guild announced its position first.

Well, the fact that the boss was a multi-awakening person was something she had known from the beginning, so it wasn’t surprising to her now.

Anyway, thanks to her use of wide-area EMP, she later rescued me from being trapped in the Basilisk’s mouth, and her naked body, which was seen by others at that time, was not revealed to the media. What has been released is only the footage prior to her appearance.

No matter how much I do, I would never have the courage to show my naked body to an unspecified number of people around the world, so I’m really glad I did.

Thanks to this, I had no choice but to spend the last two weeks physically and mentally exhausted.

It was inevitable that a lot of attention would be focused on the world’s first male awakened hunter.

If I turned down all of the media interviews that flocked to me when interest was at its peak, it would only amplify strange suspicions, so I agreed to a few interviews with only a few media outlets that were moderately influential and unlikely to publish distorted articles.

In particular, since most of her life as a hunter was a day in which her relationships with other colleagues were intertwined, it also included one or two interviews with various colleagues such as Hye-eun and Cha Yu-ri.

Anyway, in this way, I, Seong Tae-kyung, proudly became known throughout the world as a ‘male awakener’ and a ‘multiple awakener.’

I completely threw away my second identity as union hunter Kim Seong-cheol.

Fortunately, thanks to several recent media interviews, information about me was able to be released to the media without being significantly misinterpreted.

After first awakening, I was active in the union for a while, and after that, I moved to the company and joined the A-level party Azure Shield, and I was already working steadily as an awakened hunter within the company through the media. Thanks to the revelation.

Within the company, the fact that I was active while hiding my awakening ability was not well known, perhaps because I freely revealed it instead of hiding it.

It seems that taking off the unidentified mask inside the company and wearing it only briefly during the commute to and from work was really effective.

This was also the moment when we confirmed that the recognition-impairing ability of the unidentified mask was a fraudulent ability. … Although it is no longer available now.

Even if the mask itself had remained, it would have been more correct to assume that it could not be used now that I had become so famous. The limitation of the artifact was that it did not affect recognition for people who knew the face inside the mask.

And although I was interviewed several times about my arousal abilities, I naturally did not say that the condition for becoming stronger was having sex with a woman.

This can’t be helped. It was obvious what would happen if I revealed that I became stronger by having sex with women in my current position.

I couldn’t bear to face crazy women flocking to my house, claiming that I could become a world-class public prostitute and become stronger by having sex with them.

Because I wanted to at least choose the person I was going to be with.

There was one organization that said they wanted to test my genes and cautiously asked for something like semen, but the company strongly resisted this and turned it down instead.

To be honest, it was an act that crossed the line, and I was glad in many ways because I didn’t want to create competition by letting others know that Hwayoung was already researching.

Not only was I reluctant to give my own sperm in the first place, but if I gave him 0% sperm-free semen to avoid the hassle, a distorted article would have swept the media claiming that the world’s first male awakener had azoospermia.

My honest feeling was that I didn’t want to get involved in things that were likely to cause me as much stress as possible.

Regardless of the fact that I am a male awakener, I want to maintain this life for a long time.

These days, I spend my days working with many like-minded female hunters and devoting myself to my activities as a hunter.

Anyway, for two weeks like that, each day went by in a hectic manner as I was putting all my energy into revealing my true identity.

The days passed by so quickly that there was literally no time to have sex, let alone go to the dungeon.

Even my A-level promotion, which should have been promoted a long time ago, was postponed for various reasons.

‘That too will end today.’

Today, I finally become an A-level hunter.

It was time for promotion, something I had been putting off.

I went to work in the morning with Han Min-ah on time.

As soon as I appeared at the company, I felt the eyes of quite a few hunters on me.

“You’ve become a total celebrity, you”

“But I’m glad it’s better than a week ago. “Until then, I couldn’t even go to work because reporters were camped out in front of the company.”

“It was really bad back then…”

Well, Korean reporters are persistent. There was nothing I could do about it, so I had no choice but to quietly wait for it to die down.

However, after several interviews with large media outlets, the scale has now decreased significantly.

The company itself probably took steps to protect me as a male awakened person.

“Well, it’s still a fact that everyone at the company has known since the beginning. “It was rewarding to work hard as a company healer.”

“… “Did you really expect this to happen and work as a healer at the company?”

“I didn’t expect this to happen, and gradually revealing that I am an awakened person is part of the reason for my work as a healer.”

Of course, the most important goal was to become acquainted with fellow healer hunters and learn how to handle awakening abilities.

And I am still in good contact with Lulucia, who had the same goal as me. It was fortunate in many ways.

I thought he might have been shocked in some ways since he showed me my naked body just a day after we met, but when I thought about it, it didn’t seem to be that serious of a problem.

Well, in the original world, the situation would not be that different from a man accidentally seeing a naked woman.

Although Lulucia had the innocent and unspoiled image of a saint, she was still a person of this world.

Of course, the concept of chastity is not much different from that of an ordinary woman, and if I, a man who showed off my body, were not embarrassed by it, Lulucia would not necessarily want to have a relationship with me.

Of course, we intentionally did not mention the incident that happened that day, but other than that, her Cocoa Talk chat room that she and I entered was still active.

“When are you going to do the Korea tour you mentioned last time?”

“I’ll try to make time for it soon.”

“I’m looking forward to it~!”

Moreover, even the date promise I mentioned during the purification process… It still seems to be valid.

In this respect, it was fortunate that her personality was bright and innocent.

“What are you thinking like that to yourself?”

“… “Just thinking about this and that.”

“Well, looking at what’s happened these days, I think I’ll have a lot to think about. “Did you say you had plans today as well?”

“Today is just a personal agenda. “Once I get to work, I have a meeting with the boss, and after that, I have a date with Cha Yu-ri.”

“It seems like you’ve been really busy these past few weeks. Are you going on a date as soon as you’re free? “You are also very consistent.”

After getting into the elevator of her company together with that conversation, she sent Han Min-ah away from the 14th floor, where the Azure Shield conference room was located.

I just moved to the 17th floor where the boss was.

This is my first time seeing you since the last time I saw you in the abandoned village, and I don’t know if you’ve been well.
