Chapter 1 – Episode 1 Asking Me to Take Tutoring After Losing My Hunter Qualifications? (Correction)

Graduated from Korea Hunter Academy.
Top prospects to look forward to this year.
A class A dungeon attack in the shortest time.
A talented person who will lead the future Korean hunter world.
Shadow mask.
All of them were adjectives used to refer to me.

Okay.

Ching ‘had’.

The reason why I put it in the past tense is that all of those numerous titles are no longer mine.

-As of today, Shadow Mask’s hunter qualifications will be disqualified.

Because of that one word, all the many careers I had as a hunter disappeared.
27-year-old Kim Si-woo.
I, who was a prospective hunter with a bright future, returned to normal awakening.

The reason was simple.
Conflict with Daesung Group.

A handful of hunter guilds went out on their own to relieve the current social situation, but returning is a suspension of qualifications.

– Korean Hunter Academy record breaker, senior graduate shadow mask, arrested and charged with hunting fellow hunters within the dungeon.
– Testimony of a former colleague of Shadow Mask ‘He always abandoned his allies when he got in the way.’
-A symbol of sincerity and justice, Hunter’s shocking bare face.

They framed me as a criminal with ridiculous lies.
He brought up a former colleague with whom I had a bad relationship as a witness, and pressured me with bribes given to the police and other investigative agencies.
There was evidence that wasn’t there, and I was at a disadvantage.

On the day of the trial, Daesung officials came to visit.

“If you stop being a hunter and don’t make any mention of the guild, we will also stop filing legal charges against Siwoo Kim.”

I had no choice but to accept it.
Because it’s laid out like that.

I asked for help from the 2nd largest guild after Daesung, but those guys who were already doing it among themselves couldn’t help me.
In the first place, I was a public enemy of the large guild.

A public enemy who tried to prey on their own interests.

My life as a hunter, who made enemies of huge guilds, ended there.

Isn’t it okay for an awakened person who has lost his qualifications to live a hunter life?
Sound you don’t know
If you do that once, you just become a villain.

‘Because I don’t want to live while being chased by the police.’

It was impossible to go abroad.

A global agreement made by the absolutes of each region gathered in one place.
It was because of the joint agreement that a hunter criminal in one area and a villain in another area are also criminals.
Of course I wasn’t a villain.
Just a Hunter whose qualifications were suspended.

However, the proponents of that joint agreement were Choi Woo-sung, the first president of Daesung, who was the absolute leader of Korea.
If Daesung, who can use his power in international agreements, sets his mind to it, he can pressure me at any time, even if I am in the United States.
That was what kept me from going abroad.

‘I was too stupid.’

So I just quit
I didn’t want to see the fucking Hunters because they were so eager to eat each other.
So I stopped.
After quitting my job, all I could do was hunt.

I regretted saying that I should have learned the skill, but there is no law telling me to die.
Using my skills, I got a suitable job and went to work safely.

“Hey, Mr. Kim, you have a guest.”
“I’m leaving.”

After quitting my job as a hunter, my job was appraiser.
It was simple to do.
Checking the items the hunters brought and determining their value.

It was one of my many skills.

The country doesn’t care much about using skills.
How many non-hunter Awakeners live on their own?

You don’t have to go into the dungeon to do the hunter thing, and you don’t have to do anything related to crime.
Then I won’t catch you as a villain.

[Kim Si-woo]

I checked the status window that appeared in front of me.

15 years ago.
The gate opened to the world and monsters poured out.
Yes that’s right A common gate in many creations.
Gunpowder weapons worked well against monsters, but that’s a story that only weak monsters can use.
The monsters who couldn’t do that were everywhere.

And the awakened ones appeared.
Those who see the status window and have their own abilities.
Humanity called such people Awoken.

By adding the power of the Awakeners who appeared like comets, mankind removed the threat of the Gate.
5 years like that.
Humanity needed to make these Awoken, the Hunters, more powerful in preparation for a greater threat to come in the future.

That’s what the academy looks like.
There were numerous conditions to enter the academy, but the most basic of them was this status window.

The power to differentiate between ordinary humans and awakened people.
Isn’t this status window that appears in front of me an example of a world that has completely changed?

[Possessed Skills]
[Passive: Appraisal (SS)]
[You can appraise the object you touched. Threshold class (SS)]

[Passive: Growth Support (SSS)]
-Muscle growth
[Stats – Helps with strength growth. Max Rating (A)- Linking: Siwoo Kim 1/4]
-Full mana
[Stat – Helps with mana growth. Max Rating (A)- Linking: Siwoo Kim 1/4]
-Youngmin
[Stat – Helps with intelligence growth. Max Rating (A) – Linking: Siwoo Kim 1/4]
– Super recovery
[Stat – Helps with physical growth. Max Rating (A)- Linking: Siwoo Kim 1/4]
– Fast stride
[Stat – Helps with agility growth. Maximum Grade (A)- Linkosis: Siwoo Kim 1/4]
– Lord’s Heart
[Stat – Helps Charisma Max Rating (SS) – Linking: Siwoo Kim 1/2]
[Additional effect: Helps to make a cool decision in a crisis situation.]

These were all my skills.
Minimum SS level appraisal skill and SSS level growth support skill.
If anyone else had seen it, everyone would have opened their mouths and shouted.
It’s a crazy skill.

Are the ratings crazy?
No.

-How come you don’t have any active skills!

As for the skill, the active skill, that is, the use skill, was rated higher than the passive skill by one to two levels.

It means that if you have one A-class active skill, you will be given a higher rating than the minimum S-class passive skill and the maximum SS-class passive skill.
The reason was simple.
In order to catch monsters that do not work with gunpowder, strong damage was needed, and there were many active skills that were optimal for that powerful damage.

‘Passives are treated like trash.’

It’s just good if you have it and bad if you don’t.

From the outside, it looks great as SS and SSS, but in reality it feels like it has skills between A and S.
Skills that do not even directly affect combat.

I almost dropped out of the academy because of this.
I was ignored until I graduated with top grades.

However, thanks to this skill, I was able to graduate at the top of my class.
Others don’t know, but these skills are the filial skills that made me a senior graduate.

Thanks to these skills, he took first place with his insanely high stats.

[Kim Si-woo]
-Strength: A
-Mana: A
-Intelligence: A
-Stamina: A
– Agility: A
-Charisma: SS

Even if only one stat is A-class, it is called an A-class hunter.
And I took all stats as A rank.
And her charisma is SS level.

Except for me, there are only 5 Hunters who have SS level or higher stats.

유럽에 있다는 성녀와 미국에 있다는 미스터 아메리카, 중국의 최강자인 무림맹주와 일본 열도의 지배자 마야모토, 마지막으로 한국 대성의 초대 회장인 최우성.

각 지역의 절대자, 세계 최강이라는 타이틀을 갖고 있는 저들과 다르게 나는 최강은커녕 헌터일을 그만두고 아이템 감정이나 하고 있다.
The reason was simple.
It was because SS-class stats were not strength or agility, but charisma.

‘I still don’t know what effect these stats have.’

5 abilities. Strength, Intelligence, Stamina, Mana, Agility.
These five are commonly known as the stats that hunters have.
But I had one more added to those five.

Charisma.
A stat that was not used at all in my hunter life.
It was a stat that was unnecessary to me along with mana, which I had no use for because I had no active skills.

It didn’t help in combat.
It was helpful when surviving with cool judgment, but it was almost useless in direct combat.

So I hid it
To make you look like a little special prospect.

Still, it might have helped, and I graduated with top grades.
Thanks to their overwhelming stats compared to hunters of the same age, even if they didn’t have any skills, they fought better than those with skills.

But even that had its limits.

‘I didn’t grow above grade A.’

Class A engraved as a limiter.
No matter how much I trained, I couldn’t grow beyond this.
That was the limit of this ability.

‘If only I had one active skill…’

At least I wouldn’t have been kicked out just for arguing with Daesung.
At least the association would have accepted me.

Basically, the only information that could be appraised by the association was the skill name and grade.
The contents of the skill and the information of the stats were not disclosed unless the person himself disclosed them.
But what kind of madman would reveal his information to her husband?

It is said that Moorim also hides 30% of its power.

So I didn’t bother talking about my abilities.
Thanks to that, I said goodbye to Hunter.

“It’s all in the past.”

I thought I forgot, but it seems I haven’t completely forgotten.
I see you keep thinking about it.

“Maybe it’s because I remember being determined to graduate at the top of my class.”

But no regrets.

The thing that hid my SS-level charisma.
Also resisting Daesung.
Because it moved according to my will.

I went to the workbench, repeating my grumbling to myself.
이제 감정사로서 할 일을 해야지.

If there is a guest who finds me, it is enough to do my best for him.

It’s already been 6 months since I joined this appraiser.
Now I’m slowly starting to get used to this.
The job was simple.

When the hunter brings the item, appraise it and you’re done.
If you make an accurate appraisal and receive compensation for it, your income for the day will be determined.
For that reason, there are a small number of appraisers who intentionally cheat their emotions, but because of them, appraisers used to check things through cross-validation.
What if I lie and get caught?

It’s a place where the palms are flying.
Originally, it is a national rule that if you play around, your hand will fly.

The job was very simple.
Because it’s enough to just feel it.

The accuracy of emotion information is guaranteed.

SS-level emotions aren’t child’s play.

So, within 6 months of joining the company, I became the company’s ace appraiser.

It was something that I could easily take the top if I put my skill name I received at the hunter proof.

Ever since I was kicked out of confrontation with Daesung, all academy and hunter records about me have been deleted.
So, I have no choice but to show my skills.

Anyway, I’ve settled down in my own way now, but I’m not satisfied.
When I sit still and appraise, my hands often itchy when I think of the days when I was active as a hunter.
Still have to be patient Can not help it.

Of course, the pine nut-like feeling has not disappeared at all, but…

“I don’t know. If you can’t climb, then you shouldn’t look anymore.”

Unless you’re going to be a villain.

I took a deep breath and went to the office.

“Were you here?”

A familiar face was waiting for me.
No, I wasn’t exactly happy.

“Long time no see. Senior.”
“Hey, why are you acting so hard?”

He was an impressive man with a shaggy beard.
In particular, his short-cropped hair, thick eyebrows like a caterpillar, staring eyes and thick nose showed his temperamental personality properly.
It was Jeong Bong-sik, who was my academy’s two-year senior, and now quit the hunter job and started a business.

“Are you going to call me senior until the end now that we’ve both quit hunting?”
“Aren’t we comfortable enough to be close friends?”
“That’s too much. I still thought we were brothers who once shared blood on the same battlefield.”
“What about brothers? Wasn’t it a unilateral relationship that one side depended on?”
“It was a positive symbiosis. Kuck.”
“It was a difficult parasite for me.”
“A parasite to a senior. That’s too much.”

How much trouble did I have to save this human in the dungeon?

“I will pay 1 billion for the items I missed because of my seniors.”
“Even if I had them, the guild would have taken them all.”
“That’s right.”

I quit because I thought the system was something.

“Anyway, what are you doing?”
“I came to entrust the appraisal to the appraiser. What more?”

Jeong Bong-shik took out a small dagger.
It was a precious-looking weapon with a jewel embedded at the tip of the dagger handle.

I picked up the sword and touched it gently.
I grabbed the handle and touched the jewel lightly, then pulled out the sword and touched the sword face.
It was not an ordinary thing to have a sharp blade.

“Hoo.”

Looking at everything, I involuntarily exclaimed in admiration.

[Lepillar’s Teeth – Estimated Grade: S ~ S+]
[A dagger made from the teeth of the legendary snake, Lepillar. Excellent cutting power is impressive. When poison is applied, poison damage is quadrupled]

“At least an S-class dagger. If you do well, you can even get an S+.”
“Geuk, this guy’s skills aren’t dead.”
“Did you know?”
“That’s how it is.”

It’s a test
I feel a little bad, but there must be a reason.
Even if a person looks light, he is not a person who does nonsense.

“Is it necessary to do this?”
“Siw you. How long are you going to do this?”
“Yes?”
“Did I say I was in business before?”
“It was. What, did you say finish processing? Did you get it there?”
“No. This is something with a story. I’ve also closed all of that junk business.”
“You said it was folded?”
“I started a business in education not too long ago.”

I’m worried about something.

“No matter how you think about it, this is a good vision. So I want to work with you, how about it?”
“What does that have to do with this feeling?”
“Of course not. If you want to teach children, you have to know what condition they are in. If you check the current status and future potential of the kids with the emotion skill, then I will teach the really good kids. How is it?”
“Are you going to set up a separate academy?”
“No.”

Jeong Bong-sik opened her mouth, her eyes shining.

“Tutoring. I’ll give you tutoring.”
