Chapter 68 – Class a Hunter Jo Ah-Young (13)

#

– Oppa, did you sleep well? ^^ I’m eating breakfast.

Today, Jo Ah-young sent me a text message as usual.

Seeing him send text messages in the morning with insignificant content, it seemed like he was having a fling with his girlfriend.

She took a picture of her breakfast she was eating and sent it to me.

She was very simple to say that she was a meal for Jo Dong-geun’s younger sister, who can be said to be the number one player in Korea.
It was a bit fresh that the menu was Western rather than Korean.

– I feel more comfortable eating like this in the morning after living abroad.

I heard the story of the river from Kang Ah-jin.
Jo Dong-geun and Jo Ah-young were orphans without parents, and it was said that Jo Ah-young was adopted when she was very young.

In the process of searching for Jo Ah-yeong after Jo Dong-geun awakens, she is even told that she killed her adoptive parents.

‘Of course Jo Ah-yeong doesn’t know that fact.’

If I knew, how could I see her face together?
No matter how much she wanted to keep her by her side, it was not normal for her to bring her young child to the point of killing his parents.
Before being a hunter, Dong-geun Cho had a psychopathic temperament.

Even if she hadn’t awakened and become invincible, wouldn’t she have lived through some form of crime?
The difference was that when he was a common man he would have been punished properly, but now he reigns above the law.

– I just ate breakfast too.

I exchanged normal text messages with Jo Ah-young as if nothing had happened.
Would you say she felt more at ease because she had discussed her problems with the other three women and had been acknowledged?

It was because Kang Ah-jin led the way, but I was getting used to this kind of relationship before I knew it.

If you don’t have any hesitation, it’s a blessed life.

If it can be said that just becoming a hunter from a normal awakened person is a life reversal, the women I became close to by being exposed to my skills were all beautiful and talented.

After a broad agreement on how to deal with the Jo Dong-geun issue was reached, the morning passed quietly.

Kang A-jin’s house has a unique structure, so it feels much bigger when you step inside than it looks on the outside.
If I thought this was the end, another room would appear and there would be a stairway that I couldn’t see.
I thought maybe the structure of the house was changed with witchcraft.

She called me out

“Seonggi, would you like to come and see me for a second?”

She and I went down to the basement, where we had previously taken witchcraft lessons.

After sitting down at her table, she said.

“Would you like to take that out?”
“Is that it?”
“It’s the amulet I gave you yesterday.”
“Ah yes.”

I took out the amulet that I extracted Park Hyeon-jun’s mana and replaced it with.

From the outside, it was an amulet that was not very special.
But since I’ve seen how it’s made, it doesn’t look normal at all.

“I will help you extract mana from here. I don’t know if it will turn out well.”

When she gave me this talisman, she mentioned my unique quality.

The ability to contain multiple mana in one body.
She seemed to think that I could absorb Park Hyeon-joon’s mana because of that.

Regardless of whether it worked or not, there was nothing wrong with trying anyway.

If it goes well, I will be able to absorb powerful mana and gain experience, and even if it does not go well, it will be an opportunity to better understand my abilities.

The ceremony has begun.

I opened the book and recited the incantation written on it, probably because Kang Ah-jin was unfamiliar with it.
After several trials and errors, the magic was finally activated.

The amulet floated off the table and landed in the middle of my chest.
Clumps of light came out of it and were absorbed into me.

I felt like my body was inflating like a balloon.
What to say

It was a feeling that mana was not absorbed into the body and was circulating outside.
In an unacceptable state, the amount kept increasing, which added to the burden.

“Ajin, this is a bit… Strange, isn’t it?”

Blood vessels stood out on my skin.
I felt like my heart was about to explode.

Seeing it, maybe she felt that it was really dangerous, Kang A-jin changed her witchcraft.
I couldn’t understand the exact contents, but it seemed like a spell that reversed the spell I had just cast.

Park Hyeon-jun’s mana that had been sucked into my body went back into the amulet.

“Ha…”

I let out a sigh of relief, freed from the feeling that my body was about to explode.

“I don’t think so.”

When I said this, Kang A-jin put on an ambiguous expression.

“I think there is something wrong with the witchcraft.”
“Is it witchcraft?”

I thought that absorbing Park Hyeon-jun’s mana was a bad thing.
However, Kang A-jin raised her technical part as a problem.

“Because I am still lacking.”

Kang Ah-jin said something I could never have imagined.

I knew she had no one to follow, at least in Korea, with her sorcery.
She thought that even if she expanded her scope to the world, few of her shamans would be as good as her.

Above all, no matter how long it took her to prepare and how she used precious ingredients, when she recalled the image of her defeating Park Hyeon-jun, an S-rank hunter, her words now seemed nothing but humility.

“If this were impossible, the mana that escaped from the amulet would not have been sucked into Mr. Sunggi’s body. However, there was a problem with magic, so this work could not be completed.”

On the other hand, I thought that the reason could be found elsewhere.
I told her so that Kang Ah-jin would not get her way wrong just in case.

“How can I get the experience points I need to grow…”

Unlike other hunters, I didn’t get much experience from hunting monsters in dungeons.
The main route for me to gain experience was through skinship with women who were exposed to ‘favoritism for no reason’.

Of course, he would get experience from dungeons – maybe that would be the same level of experience that hunters normally get from dungeons – but the experience gained through skinship overwhelms that number.
And through that process, it was also about making other hunters’ mana mine.

After hearing my explanation, Kang A-jin put on a thoughtful expression.

“Indeed…”

She nodded her head, as if at last some of her secrets had been solved.

“You mean a woman becomes a medium.”
“Medium?”
“If you can’t absorb mana directly from the talisman, I think you can do it through a vessel called a woman.”
“What do you mean by that…”
“It’s not like this kind of thing doesn’t exist at all. For example, some shamanism fuses a lot of crystal stone energy into a single monster so that you can gain a lot of experience by killing only that monster.”
“Yeah? Really?”

It would be very convenient if there really was such a way.
But according to common sense, if that was possible, it would be very easy for hunters to gain experience.

The bottom line is that it’s difficult to cast such spells, and not everyone can use them.

“Similarly, if you have a woman serve as her vessel, and then her genitals make skinship with her, you will be able to acquire her new mana.”

Kang Ah-jin said it casually.
Of course, the story could have been easier if the role of the bowl was taken by one of the three women I am in a relationship with, or Jo Ah-young, who was newly exposed to my skills.

“But Hunter cannot serve as a vessel. She already has her own mana, so injecting a new one would conflict the two.”
“Then it’s impossible anyway.”
“You can’t be so sure.”

Kang Ah-jin said.

“Think about it. If Seonggi could absorb the mana of other hunters step by step. Park Hyeon-jun’s mana alone will be of great help to his growth. It would be possible to have his skills through his own mana. I think it’s important for Sunggi to grow up quickly. Of course, I, Seulbi, and Eunbi can help, but no matter what anyone says, Sunggi has the greatest potential for growth. Perhaps no Hunter in the world has the potential to grow like Sunggi. If only this spell can be successful, it is like opening an infinite route of growth.”
“Um…But you said you needed a bowl?”

What made it difficult to speak easily in terms of ‘vessel’ was that it had to be a human woman.
Besides, Hunter means that if she can’t play the part, she has to be a regular woman.

To put it simply, it means that we need another woman in addition to the existing three women and Jo Ah-young.

‘Ajin really has an open heart.’

If Seulbi Kim or Eunbi Kim had known this, she would have felt rejected.

However, Kang Ah-jin was only focusing on the success of this sorcery and my growth potential.
He was 100% sincere when he said he didn’t care if there were 10 or 100 women.

“It’s impossible on my own.”

Kang Ah-jin, who said that, added as if he had made up his mind.

“I have a teacher in Brazil. I need to contact him.”
“Brazil?”

Was it necessary to reach out to a shaman so far away?
It was a moment when I felt once again that Kang Ah-jin was sincere in helping me grow.
