Chapter 51 – Chapter 51 Mad Dog Marcuson

Marcuson.
One of the four wagons leading the Saint’s Guild, the only real brother of Mr. America, the leader of the Saint’s Guild and one of the strongest hunters in the world.
He was famous for slaughtering monsters and villains with the twin swords in both hands.
He was a free-spirited character, and was a hunter characterized by impulsive actions that occasionally undermined teamwork.
One of the people of interest in my report.

The fact that this person came, after all.

‘It must mean that Lee Kang-san is quite worried about his younger brother.’

Saint Guild’s quadruped carriage.
The world’s No. 1 tanker, the iron-clad Lee Kang-san.
A mad dog, Marcuson Potter, who slaughters enemies with his twin swords.
Diana, the King of Inventors, is the leader of the current magic revolution.
And Mr. America Jackson Potter.

I heard that these four people care for each other almost like family.
Maybe it’s because we went through many battlefields together.
Since I touched Lee Hye-ri, Lee Kang-san’s younger brother, it was only natural that one of them would come.

‘It’s within the expected range.’

Hyeri Lee thought about it from the moment she found out that she was interested in my class.
If I teach her, there will be no choice but to create a link between Saint Guild and her.
And that was what I was hoping for.

‘I never thought I’d meet the person concerned this quickly.’

The only people who knew that Kim Si-woo was a shadow mask were Daesung’s leadership, prosecutors, lawyers, and judges who were involved at the time.

No one knows what I look like underneath my mask, so why can’t I do hunter activities?
As my hunter qualifications were suspended, I documented and digitized my mana patterns and set them as prohibited persons who should not enter each dungeon.

Hunters called it an identification code.
The identification code itself is not a problem.
However, if a person with an identification code intervenes in a specific case, that identification code is registered as a villain code.

When an Awakener whose identification code is registered enters the dungeon, a warning is given to the hunters located in the dungeon, and from then on, it turns into a villain code and becomes a major target.
From that moment on, I am designated as a villain, not an ordinary person, and I am pursued by all hunters.

Even if you don’t enter the dungeon, if you commit a crime using mana, you will be transformed into a villain code.
Because the process of finding out is very complicated, there were cases where most of the people who were caught red-handedly turned into villain codes.

Just in case, he refrained from using mana as much as possible even in the process of rescuing Yuara.

It’s a nuisance.
If you live normally, there will be no problems, but if you cause problems while using mana, you will become a target.
It was the reason I decided to live as an appraiser.

You must have brought a code detector.
No matter how thoughtless Marcuson would have been.
At Lee Kang-san’s request, to check whether I’m a suspicious person or not.

I’ve thought of all the excuses for this.
But.

‘It’s a gamble.’

Gambling with a high probability of success, but ending in failure.
However, it was a problem that should have been faced someday.
If you don’t take that risk, you can’t beat Daesung.
Knowing that, she accepted Lee Hye-ri as her student.

If you pass this question well and earn Marcuson’s trust…

There will be no problems in the future.
As long as I don’t meet people who know my face in person.

He took a deep breath.
As calmly as possible.
Let’s calm down.
Opponent doesn’t know me
So, you need to look as casual as possible.
As a talented teacher who teaches Lee Hye-ri.

“Who are you?”

I asked in a calm voice.

“Oh, you were inside!”
“You can speak English.”
“Ah, I’m glad. What? Did you know I was coming?”
“Yes, I heard from Hyeri.”

I opened the door.
A foreigner one head taller than me was looking at me.

“Nice to meet you. This is Marcus Porter.”
“You are famous. I am Kim Si-woo, a private tutor for Lee Hye-ri.”
“You seem to be very interested in Hunter.”
“Who in the world doesn’t know Saint’s twin swordsman Marcuson?”
Haha! You are a person who knows something!”

There was vigilance in the hearty laugh.

“You know why I came here, so let’s get to the point. I need to do some tests, can you please excuse me?”
“I know you are not asking with the intention of seeking consent.”
“I’m sorry. Normally, I don’t do it well, but I was asked by a friend.”

Marcuson took a strange cylindrical machine out of her pocket and brought it to me.

Beep.

Code identifier.
It was an item to check the identification code.
And of course.

“Code number NO. 2-2554. There is an identification code.”
“You’re right. I made some false accusations in the past.”

There are two types of identification codes.
Those who need special attention because it is impossible to rehabilitate at all are in the 1st grade.
Those who have committed a crime, but the extent of it is minor or the suspicion is not clear, are the 2nd grade.

Even though I was framed for murder, it was Daesung’s ‘consideration’ that put me in the second grade, not the first grade.
Okay.
Consideration.
They said so

-Since there is an old friendship, we have classified the level of Mr. Shadow Mask as 2nd grade. But if you cause trouble, or if our story comes out of your mouth… He will immediately become a villain.
-Tell Shin Seo-ah, thank you. Because he specifically asked for it.

Fuck.
It’s like dog shit.
Say thank you to the bitches who threw me into hell?
This is not caring for me.
Daesung bastards’ deceit to humiliate me.

Never forget difference in rank.

Shinseo, you fucking bitch.
Are you cool because you deceived me and made fun of me until the end?

But thanks to them, I was able to dream of revenge on them.

“Who are you? Do you think I’ll believe that? The people I hate the most are those who commit crimes and lose their senses.”

Life flows out.
The mad dog’s fangs were about to bite my neck.

“I guess you already tested it? How much Lee Hye-ri has developed and how she is growing.”
“Okay. Did But if their intentions are impure, I will stop them.”
“… I want to do business.”
“Business?”
“Yes. In a situation where I already had an identification code due to false accusations, I couldn’t do hunter work, and I couldn’t just sit and starve to death, so I found a way to live on my own.”
“What does that have to do with business?”
“I will establish a guild. I am tutoring for that.”

We need to be a little honest here.
Guys who rely on their intuition like Marcuson catch lies like ghosts.

“So?”
“Originally, I taught a student named Yuara first. And she gifted him a better grade. It must have been his own efforts, but it was thanks to the teachings that contained my know-how.”

I sat down on the sofa in the living room and continued talking.

“And Hyeri, who was in the same group, came to visit me. Please raise me as a tanker.”
“Tanker…”
“So I decided to grow it. 20 million won per semester plus an additional 2,000 as a success fee.”
“…”
“I have no intention of touching Lee Hye-ri. I know for sure who is behind that kid, so why am I? Isn’t it?”
“Criminals like you…”
“Class 2 is not a criminal. Mr. Marcuson.”

When I cut off my words, the boy’s brow furrowed.

“Okay. Let’s pretend you’re not a criminal. How can I believe?”

That’s not that simple

“Don’t trust me.”
“What?”

The boy’s hand touched his waist.
A gesture to draw the weapon immediately.

“Look at Lee Hye-ri, who is growing because of me, and believe it. My ability.”

The hand on her waist stopped.

“I know you won’t believe me no matter what I say. Mr. Marcuson and I have only been together for less than 10 minutes. Then it’s simple. You can watch me grow Miss Lee Hye-ri. If you want to see it for a long time, grab a hotel and watch it grow. After all, her contract with her is only for one month. After looking at the performance for one month, decide whether to extend the contract later. That is the contract Hyeri Lee made with me.”
“…”
“It’s been three weeks now, so next week will be my last class.”
“Is that real?”
“Go check with Miss Hyeri.”

He looked into the boy’s eyes and said.
That’s all.
I can talk

And I was sure
No matter what Marcuson says, Lee Hye-ri will definitely learn from me.

“… I get it. But if that statement is false.”
“Then hit me in the neck. I’ll write something down in my will beforehand. Lied to her mad dog Marcus and died…”

Zeng!

“You bastard!”

Marcuson drew his twin swords and aimed at my neck.
At the same time, I used telekinesis.

Yuara’s skill, telekinesis, blocked Marcuson’s attack.

‘This is the taste of skill.’

If it was the old me, I would have rolled backwards to avoid that explosive attack.
His posture collapsed, and he must have suffered greatly from Marcuson’s attack that followed.
But this time, I didn’t change my stance and countered his attack.
This is why people must have skills.

“Aren’t you too excited?”
“If you talk about that snout one more time, I will kill you.”
“Follow your heart. I have no intention of dying until I make Lee Hye-ri a full-fledged tank.”

It was a deliberate provocation.
Here, in front of Marcuson, he needed to use a skill once.
It was an action in case he doubted my identity.

He will never guess my identity.

Because the half-hunter shadow mask never used its skills until the moment it retired.
It was a very famous story.
To the extent that even F-rank Hunters knew.

Marcuson, who was giving strength to the twin swords blocked by telekinesis, stared into my eyes.
I felt like I was about to cut my throat at any moment.
However, he did not avert his eyes.

I haven’t done anything wrong, why am I?

Marcuson, who had been standing there for a while, soon put his sword into the scabbard.

“It seems to be true to some extent.”
“What?”
“Did you test me? Didn’t you deliberately provoke me as a mad dog?”

Did you notice?
But is this because it’s S-class?

“I just saw your eyes. Those eyes don’t lie. At least it doesn’t seem like he’s going to harm Lee Hye-ri.”
“What is it?”
“What? I did some tests. Whether or not the teacher who teaches Hye-ri is a proper person. At least you don’t seem like a kid shivering in front of me.”
“Didn’t you just say I was a criminal?”
“It did. But who are you? Isn’t it?”

I was taken aback by the sudden change of attitude.
It didn’t seem like he noticed my intentions and talked about it.

“The eyes of those who get stabbed a lot don’t shake even if you give them a little shock. But you showed an unwavering look in my eyes even as you took my life. That was enough.”
“The standards are strange.”
“I am that kind of guy. Trust my senses To be honest, believing the information written on a machine like this is for spectacled men. Still, I’m not 100% sure, so I plan to stay by Lee Hye-ri’s side for a while. Didn’t you say next week is your last class?”
“Yes.”
“I will observe the last class.”

Hmm. That’s kind of embarrassing, Mr. Marcuson.

“That is not a matter for me to decide.”
“What?”
“Ask Miss Hyeri. Is it okay?”

Marcuson looked at me with a dumbfounded expression.

“You said you were a teacher. Isn’t she a law teacher?”
“No.”

***

“No!”

Naturally, Lee Hye-ri firmly refused.

“If you are that anxious, wait near the house. I will contact you after class.”
“But it’s Hyeri.”
“Never! No!”

Lee Hye-ri screamed at her and glared at me with her face turning red.
It’s eye-catching.
I couldn’t help it?
What power do I have

I’m the one your brother called, so you kick him out.

I laughed as I saw Lee Hye-ri glaring at Marcuson with her twin wicks in her eyes.

Well done.
My student.

***

“What are you thinking?”

Lee Hye-ri, who forcibly kicked Marcuson out, glared at me with her arms crossed.

“What?”
“You said you were going to observe the class!”
“I don’t mean to observe. I was asking for your opinion.”
“Ha, but didn’t you think that I would definitely say no?”
“I did. Of course I thought you would decline.”
“Of course!”
“But what power do I have to refuse Marcuson, an S-class hunter? Is not it?”
“Ugh…”

She cried, opening her ax eye.
It’s a bit scary when you look at it that way.

“I will never show you! How can you show a class scene like that? No! No way!”

I know.
I have no desire to ever show it to other bastards.
It’s my teaching method, it’s my student.
Of course, it is absolutely not allowed to observe.

However, her appearance of Lee Hye-ri embarrassed and angry was quite cute, so I laughed at her.
