Chapter 50 – Episode 50 Han Mi-Na’s Skill Was Hypnosis?

Why is hypnosis not working?

Han Mi-na screamed inside her as she saw the man in front of her who was fine without any reaction.
She was weird
Obviously, when anyone fell under her hypnosis, she did exactly what she said.
The reason why the timid girl was able to become a celebrity.
It was because of this hypnosis that she was not ignored by others even at the academy.
However, the man who picked up her precious treasure showed no reaction to her skill.
Why?
Have you ever made a mistake?
Didn’t you open the app?

‘No, I’m sure it was turned on.’

Points were also cut.
Giving orders to others was a task that consumed a lot of energy, so 10 points were consumed.
Even with the order to present the bracelet.

The points disappeared, but they didn’t work.
Besides, I want you to show her face.
Han Mi-na’s head raced as she heard the man utter the words she hated the most.
The best entertainer, singer, and icon of the Korean entertainment industry.
If it is known that Mina Han, the star of stars, is actually a woman who cannot speak properly without being hypnotized in hikikomori…

No.
Absolutely not.
If that happens, everything she has built up to now will collapse.
People will be shocked, and reporters will scramble to expose themselves?
Numerous articles will be posted on portal sites, and malicious comments that cannot be expressed in words will follow.

I will go back to the miserable past again.
To those times when I was in school when I was teased and bullied by everyone…

‘Not as much as that!’

How did you achieve happiness?
She became a loved one now.
I don’t want to go back to the old days.

But that doesn’t mean I can’t leave that bracelet as it is.

“Ughhhhh…”

She saw the man who had picked up the bracelet.
He’s not handsome, but he’s got a good look and he’s tall.
Judging from the way she stared at her with the look in her eyes that she really didn’t know her, it didn’t look like her stalker that she had intentionally followed.
He was not a suspicious-looking person.

‘Except for not being hypnotized…’

If hypnosis doesn’t work, wouldn’t it be better to persuade them with words?

But how?
I can’t speak properly, so I can buy things at a convenience store only after making a big decision?

“Whoop, whoop.”

Just imagining talking to a man made me breathless.
I feel dizzy.
My head got dizzy.

Uh, what should I do?

***

A very suspicious woman.
Wearing a mask covering half of his face was not enough, he was wearing large sunglasses.

“Whoop, whoop.”

A woman breathing heavily.

The woman, who says she is the owner of the missing bracelet, looks so suspicious that she almost calls the police.
In addition, seeing that he started attacking mentally, he was definitely not a person with a proper mental mind.

“That, that, that bracelet is mine. So please give it back.”
“So you’re saying that the person you bumped into yesterday is the one?”
“Yes!”
“Hmm…”

Listening to her excessively timid tone, she seemed to be right about the person she bumped into yesterday.
But to be honest, I couldn’t easily give this bracelet because it cost hundreds of thousands of won.

It would be my fault if I handed over the lost property to a strict person.
At least we should check each other’s faces.

I’ll take down my mask and say it’s my own, so it’s not too late to give it to me then.

“Just show me your face.”
“Uh, uh, the face?”
“Yes. You don’t have to take off your sunglasses, just take down your mask for a moment and show your lower body. Because I saw the officer that day.”
“Ha, my lord… My face is because I am shy.”
“Then I can’t. Sorry. Leave it to Alba…”
“Now, wait a minute! Go away! Ugh!”

I was so embarrassed that I even bit my tongue.

“Well, then you just have to show your chin, right?”
“… Well, yes. Just show me a little bit of the lower part. If you don’t want to show your face like that.”

There is such a keen eye.

“Ugh…”

Anyway, what kind of face did you put treasure on?
Why are you so embarrassed to show your face?

He’s not even a famous celebrity.
Even if it is.

‘Why don’t I show it to you?’

She didn’t know what to do and bit her lip.
After thinking about her for a while, she pointed to her alley.

“I-I’m going over there.”
“The alley?”
“Yes. I’ll show you over there.”

More suspicious
She was a suspicious woman as she’s had a history of mental attacks before.

“Earlier, if she promises that those phones won’t push, she follows.”
“Ah, I get it. Come on.”

She didn’t think that no matter what she did, she wouldn’t get hit.
I can’t feel any suspicious presence near her.

“I see.”

I obediently followed the suspicious woman.

“Whoop, whoop.”

Breathing becomes more difficult
It’s not really pervert.

‘I don’t think it’s like a barbary girl…’

He could see the fog on his sunglasses from his heavy breathing.
She suddenly turned her head and walked into her alley, thinking of what to do if she took off her clothes.

“Now, wait a minute.”

The woman inhaled her deep breath.

As if making her big decision, she clenched her fists and lifted her mask slightly.

She really only showed her chin.

“… Raise it a little bit more. Even the FBI wouldn’t recognize it.”
“Ugh, ugh. But…”
“It’s not like they painted the face, let’s just show it quickly and finish it. I’ll go home soon too.”
“Ah, okay. Wait a minute.”

And she raised it a little higher.
A red lower lip resting on a slender, white chin.
Just looking at her cherry-colored lips and white skin, she was beautiful.
It won’t be like a barbary girl.

If a woman who looked like this had been a barbary girl, she would have been known a long time ago.

‘A woman who is too self-conscious about her beauty.’

If it was too severe ax disease, it could have been.
Or maybe she’s the one who’s had something done for her beauty.
It will have its own story.

Still, one thing was certain.

“Right. The person I bumped into yesterday.”

It was a familiar underling.
The woman I bumped into yesterday.

“Ugh, ugh. Okay? So hurry up, please. Bracelet.”
“… I knew.”

나는 팔찌를 여자에게 건넸다.
독수리가 먹이를 낚아채듯 팔찌를 채간 여자가 서둘러 자신의 팔목에 그 팔찌를 찼다.

“Whoa.”

그제야 안도의 한숨을 내쉬었다.

“고, 고맙습니다.”
“별거 아닙니다.”

여자가 고개를 깊게 숙였다.

“소중한 팔찌 같은데, 앞으로 잃어버리지 말고 잘 단속하세요.”
“Yes yes. Ah! Hey!”
“Yes?”
“That… 혹시 연락처를 주실 수 있을까요?”
“연락처요?”
“Yes. I’m sorry to just send it away. I don’t have a wallet right now to give you a reward.”
“됐습니다. 안 주셔도 돼요. 돈을 바라고 한 거 아니었습니다.”

At my words, the woman bit her lip.

“Ha, but getting help like this and just letting go…”
“그럼 폰 꺼내주세요.”
“자, 잠깐만요… 어, 어라?”
“아까 그건 핸드폰이 아닌가요?”
“That, that’s it. That’s not my cell phone, no, this isn’t actually a cell phone… That, so…”

The woman was pale and did not know what to do.
I don’t know what her story was, but she seemed reluctant to give out her number.

The one that shined on me was, to anyone’s eyes, a cell phone.

“그럼 잠깐만 기다려봐요.”

I bought a pen at a convenience store.

“손 내밀어요.”
“소, 손이요?”
“Yes.”

He obediently reached out his hand and grabbed her wrist.

“히이익! 자, 잠깐!”
“Wait. 금방 끝나니까.”

I opened the cap of the pen and wrote my phone number on the back of her hand.

“흐으응, 간지러워…”

It tickled me, so I grabbed her hand as she tried to clench her fist and wrote down her phone number all the way down.

“There is no paper right now, so I wrote it here. 나중에 이 번호로 전화 줘요.”
“All right.”
“사례금은 만원만 보내주세요. 더도 말고 덜도 말고.”
“Yes.”
“Then we will part with only good memories like this. Take care.”
“가, 감사합니다! Thank you very much.”

The woman thanked her by wrapping her bracelet around her bracelet with her free hand.

And I focused more on her system window floating in front of her than on her back.

한미나?
그 연예인 한미나의 스킬이 최면이었다고?

***

이상한 사람이었다.
얼굴을 보여달라고 했을 땐, TV 속 사진을 알고 있는 사람인가 싶었다.
But it wasn’t.
턱과 입술만 살짝 보고 고개를 끄덕이는 걸 보면 진짜 자신의 얼굴을 확인하기 위해서였던 거 같았다.

자신이 연예인 한미나라는 건 들키지 않았을 거다.
그랬다면 무턱대고 달려들었을 테니까.
자의식 과잉이라고 누군가는 생각할지 모르겠지만, 한미나는 자신이 있었다.
그녀가 마음만 먹는다면 어떤 남자도 그녀에게 빠질 거라는 사실을.
다만 극도의 외톨이적 성향 때문에 시도조차 하지 못하고 있지만 말이다.

모두가 동경하는 스타, 그럼에도 쉽게 다가가지 못하는 별.
그게 연예인 한미나였다.

도움을 받았으니 그에 맞는 보상을 주는 건 당연했다.
그것도 그녀의 인생에 가장 중요한 보물을 찾아준 사람이었다.
거기다가 그녀의 유일한 무기인 최면마저 걸리지 않는 남자.

In fact, the latter reason was more important in asking for a phone number.

I just couldn’t send it.
Curiosity, and at the same time, the expectation that it might be a clue to develop her stagnant abilities.
So I asked.

What is the phone number

It seemed that this man’s ignorance made him a little bolder.
The problem was that I was holding my cell phone in my hand to hypnotize him.
He realized it belatedly and was taken aback, but somehow he managed to calm himself down.
It seems that the man understood roughly and moved on.

Anyway, as a result, I got the man’s phone number.
However.

“Ugh… His hands were huge…”

I didn’t know that he would grab his wrist first and write his phone number on the back of his hand.

Thump thump.

Mina Han’s age 22.
This was the first time I had physical contact with a man because of my extremely timid nature.
The girl’s heart was beating like crazy at the unexpected first experience.

Her eyes were fixed on the phone number written on the back of her hand.

***

“Is it here?”

The house where Lee Hye-ri, Lee Kang-san’s younger sister, is staying.
After successfully completing the negotiations with Daesung, Marcuson rang the doorbell while humming his voice.
Now I have to do some serious work.

‘Make sure to find out who Hyeri is attached to and come.’

It was a request from Lee Kang-san, a colleague and friend of the Saint Guild.
She can’t go through with her friend’s request.

“Who are you… Uh? Brother Marcuson?”
“Nice to meet you! It’s been a while.”

It’s a lovely voice
Hearing Hyeri’s voice, a little more mature than he had heard three years ago, Marcuson waved her hand at her doorbell.

“Wait a minute.”

There was a knock and the doorbell went off.
And after a while, the door opened.

Rattle.

The door is open.
Did you just exercise?
Beads of sweat formed on her forehead.
She was wearing baggy clothes that didn’t match her workout clothes at all.

“What happened?”
“Your brother sent me. I was told to find out who the private tutor who teaches you is.”

At those words, Lee Hye-ri’s eyes narrowed.
Marcuson tried to ignore Lee Hye-ri’s gaze and entered her house.
It was also a bloody house.

A spacious living room that looks like it has been converted into a practice room.
Just looking at the living room that Lee Kang-san, a practice keut, designed, I could tell how crazy these two siblings were for practicing.

“Your brother ordered it?”
“Okay. How much Kangsan cares about her brother. Don’t talk. Did you try to kill me if I didn’t go?”
“… Oppa still doesn’t believe me, right?”
“It’s not that I don’t believe it. I don’t want to ruin the dealer’s talent.”
“That is it. That means I can’t be a tank.”
Haha, usually everyone thinks so.”

At Marcuson’s words, Lee Hye-ri shook her head.

“No. Not everyone is like that.”

Marcuson shut his mouth at the firm tone of unbreakable bamboo.
Stubbornness is the same as siblings.

“Does that tutor or something believe that you can become a tanker?”
“Yes. I am also training him.”
“Without doing anything strange?”

Lee Hye-ri paused for a moment and shook her head.

“There is no such thing. He said he was only practicing diligently. There is no such thing as Marcuson thinks.”
“Hmm… Then can I observe the class?”
“Yes?”
“I mean, watch the class. Isn’t it enough to be your friend?”
“No! Never! No!”

It hurts a bit.
Still, she was a younger brother whom he had known for a long time.
How can you refuse so bluntly?

“Is that so?”
“Yes! Absolutely not.”
“Hmm, then I got it. Can I test it instead?”
“A test?”
“Okay. I heard you said you’re good for a tank. That the teacher saw it, I want to see it too.”

Lee Hye-ri thought for a moment and then nodded her head.

“Great. Instead, once you confirm that I have increased, stop investigating.”
“Of course.”

Marcuson laughed and took out a practice sword from the living room.
And he got into position.

“Prepare. I’ll go right in.”

And the sparring began.

***

No way!
How can I show you how to train?
It was such an embarrassing figure, not something that could be shown to others.
So I refused, and Marcuson requested sparring.

Marcuson was originally such a person.
A person who is obsessed with fighting and sparring.
And he’s secretly hot-tempered, and he’s a moody guy who changes his mind completely when it suits his taste.

Thinking that Marcuson wouldn’t say anything if he proved it here, he gritted his teeth and gripped the spear.

She was Lee Hye-ri, who was practicing the Cheonryu singing method against the practice robot just before.
She was the one who was now able to parry the C-class practice robot’s attacks.
With the help of Kim Si-woo, she developed various herbivores that she could not grasp at all.
Even so, it is only a C-class robot.
It was not long enough to use it in practice, so I was worried about it.
And Marcuson, who came just in time.
It was perfect for an experiment before the next class.

Dalian began.
S-class hunter and first-year academy cadet.
In a way, the result was obvious.

This was not a sparring to beat Marcuson.

Pod! Pak! Whoops!

Lee Hye-ri moved her body quickly and evaded Marcuson’s attack with her one-sided attack.

“Hyeri, if this is the case, how is it different from what the dealer avoids!”
“Noisy!”

It was definitely on a different level from robots.
The speed and sharpness of the attack were incomparable.
I couldn’t see the road.

It felt like meeting his teacher, Kim Si-woo.
A feeling of pressure equal to that of an S-class Hunter.

In fact, isn’t the teacher a great person?

Even in the midst of this, I felt that way.

Haha! You really have a tanking talent, right?”

She focused her mind, ignoring Marcuson’s stimulating words.
Her eyes followed Marcuson’s attack for a long time.

Her breathing became rough, and her stamina ran out, dodging and striking back Marcuson’s sword.

And a very brief moment.

‘See.’

I could see the path of Marcuson’s sword.
The herbivore of the cheonryu singing method came to mind, and the body moved by itself.

Hyeri Lee’s spear gently brushed the side of the practice sword that was shooting at her chest.
With just that, the flying trajectory changed.
Lee Hye-ri deflected the path of her sword according to the movement of her spear.

Suwook!

Marcuson’s sword fell completely outward.
And it wasn’t Lee Hye-ri who would miss that gap.
Although I quickly stabbed her spear.

“Look at this?”
“Uh?”

Marcuson is a swordsman with dual swords.
Against her, the sword protruded from her hand and aimed at Lee Hye-ri’s neck.
It was much faster than she could have aimed at Marcuson’s neck.

“Haha.”
“… Pretty good.”

The match ended with Marcuson’s victory.
Lee Hye-ri, who misses the window and sits down on the floor, breathing heavily, and Marcuson, who is relaxed.
Looking at Lee Hye-ri, Marcuson wasn’t smiling.
Marcuson looked at his hand with a surprised face for a moment before asking.

“What is that just now? I think you let go of my attack?”
“Yeah, it’s the result of practice. Haha. I will become a tank with this.”
“Because of the enemy’s attack?”
“Yes.”
“… Whoa, haha, haha!”

Marcuson, who had been staring blankly at Lee Hye-ri, smiled as he told her to leave the house.

“Is that how your teacher said it?”
“That’s right.”
“I ate this properly. It’s a tank that drains the enemy’s attacks… So you’re thinking of pulling the deal in aggro?”
“That’s right. How did you know?”

Marcuson twisted his lips at Lee Hye-ri’s words.

“It’s the basic tactic of an evasion tank. I don’t know how.”
“Oh, I see.”
“What did you say your teacher’s name was? What is your address? What is your phone number?”
“You just saw it. I will definitely prove…”
“Know. That the private tutor is not a bastard. I’m curious. I was curious about how the tutor came up with such an idea.”
“You’re not going to do anything really weird, are you?”
“Of course! Do you think I always do weird things?”
“It used to be like that, but you just beat an innocent person.”
“Uh huh, not this time.”
“Really?”
“Okay. So tell me your name.”

Marcuson’s expression looked dangerous.
How to say
Should I say that I saw Marcuson’s unique facial expression right before an accident?

“I won’t tell you.”
“Hey, are you like this? If you do this, will you tell Kang San-i that a strange guy is sticking to you?”
“Please. It would be better if Kangsan oppa came personally. You will be able to see my changed side.”
“Stop doing that, tell me.”
“I don’t know!”

Lee Hye-ri kicked out the squishy Marcuson.

“Hyeri! What if you throw me out? I have no place to sleep.”

***

Back at her house, I received a text message from Lee Hye-ri.

– One annoying person will go. My name is Marcuson, and I am a member of the Saint Guild. People are kind even when they are annoying.

Marcuson?

– I’ll tell you in advance. Sorry.

St. Guild’s Marcuson Potter is here?
It’s faster than expected.

And not long after

Thump.

“How are you?”

I heard the voice of a foreigner spouting unfamiliar Korean.
You’re here.

Mad Dog Marcuson.
