Chapter 81 – Episode 81 Hypnotist, Mina Han (13)

“Long time no see.”

Arriving at Incheon Airport, Lee Kang-san let out a sigh as she enjoyed the scent of her hometown that she hadn’t smelled in a long time.

“Whoa, I fucking missed you.”

It was Lee Kang-san who left Korea for the United States due to a series of conflicts she had with Shin Seo-ah, and her Korean Hunter Association’s attitude towards him.
Hunter’s guild transfer was a frequent occurrence before.
Of course, it was unusual for an S-class hunter the size of Lee Kang-san to change the nationality of the guild.

The Hunter Association issued a warning to Kangsan Lee leaving Korea, but that was all.
Before Lee Kang-san left Korea, the number of gates he had eradicated in Korea exceeded hundreds.
There was a lot of criticism about losing a hero who killed thousands of monsters and saved tens of thousands of citizens to an American guild.
The Hunter Association conciliated and threatened Lee Kang-san, but Lee Kang-san adhered to the existing position of leaving Korea.

“My colleagues who fought monsters with me were all ruined by the monsters. I couldn’t keep them. I was acutely aware of my shortcomings and thought I needed to improve my skills. I was comfortable and relaxed. I want to train myself by fighting more various monsters in a new place. My successors are also excellent hunters, so I believe they will protect Korea well.”

This was an external reason.
Because of Shin Seo-ah, all of her colleagues were ruined, and she kept it a secret that she left Korea in despair at being betrayed by a trusted colleague.
That was the final courtesy to his colleagues.
I couldn’t bear to say that we pointed our swords at each other to get a woman.

“I left Korea because of Shin Seo-ah, but I never thought I would come back to Korea because of her.”

Choi Woo-seok, who is considered the next president of Daesung, and his fiancée Shin Seo-ah invited the executives of the Saint Guild to Korea as a sign of harmony.

It was an offer I couldn’t refuse, so I came to Korea with Marcuson.

I have come to Korea unofficially to see Lee Hye-ri often, but this was my first official visit.

Of course, the real reason he came to Korea was something else.

‘It’s Hyeri.’

I wanted to see the face of the tutor who had been teaching Hyeri recently.
I wanted to know what kind of guy approached our Hyeri.

I felt like I wanted to go right away.

Haha, it must have been a lot of trouble coming here. Come so soon Did you miss your hometown?”

It couldn’t be because of Choi Woo-seok’s irritated face.
That gorgeous style.
I don’t like it.

“Release your expression.”

Marcuson patted Lee Kang-san on the shoulder and whispered.

“It is not easy.”

Lee Kang-san saw the people of Daesung who came with Choi Woo-seok.

“She must have left her fiancée behind.”
“Oh, you seem to be uncomfortable, so I came here alone today. Do you have any complaints?”
“No. It’s nice to have a comfortable seat thanks to you.”

Lee Kang-san left the gate holding hands with Choi Woo-seok.
I could see reporters and citizens lined up at the gate entrance.

Click! Click!

The flash flickered relentlessly.

Citizens gathered in one place showed different reactions.
One side is a placard that criticizes Lee Kang-san, a traitor to the nation.

“Lee Kang-san, who betrayed his country and left for America, go back to America!”

The other side was holding a placard praising Lee Kang-san as a hero.

“Welcome to the hero Kangsan Lee!”
“Wow!”

Marcuson, who had been following close to him, stuck his head out and whispered.

“Our hero is very popular. When I came to Korea, there were only a few people involved.”
“Quiet.”
“Cluck, if Diana had seen this, she would have been very surprised. He might have been angry with Lee Kang-san for having female fans.”
“Diana? Why?”
“You can’t… No. It’s okay.”
“… Bland.”

Reporters gathered in front of the gate held out their microphones and asked questions.

“Why did you come to Korea?”
“Is it true that Lee Kang-san had a lot of power in the process of Saint Guild cooperating with Daesung?”
“Did you have any difficulties exploring the San Francisco Dungeon this time?”
“Do you have any plans to get out of the Saint Guild and return to Korea by negotiating with Daesung?”

Lee Kang-san ignored reporters’ questions and passed by.
He wasn’t even a pre-appointed position.
He was under no obligation to answer.
Aren’t there even citizens who have filled the airport now?

“Sorry. We will not accept interviews unless they have been pre-arranged.”
“Mr. Kangsan! Mr. Kangsan!”

He left the airport with Daesung’s officials.
I could feel people staring at me, but I didn’t care.

“First, go to our office. I have to treat you in a small way.”

Wooseok Choi smiled and took the lead.

***

-Today, Kangsan Lee, an S-class hunter from the Saint Guild, arrived at Incheon Airport. He said the airport was full of people upon the return of the world’s No. 1 tanker who had left Korea. There was a fierce confrontation between those who believed they had betrayed Korea and fans who supported Lee Kang-san…

Turning on the TV, Lee Hye-ri widened her eyes at the news that her brother Lee Kang-san had arrived in Korea.

“Uh? Brother?”

He had heard through the news that he was coming to Korea.
But he hadn’t been told when he would come.
It was Kangsan who hadn’t contacted her recently.

Even on the last phone call, there was no word that he was coming to Korea.
I just remembered that I persistently asked what kind of person the tutor was.

-Hyeri, I need to know what kind of person he is…
“I know what to do! You didn’t believe me when you sent Marcuson too?”
-It’s Hyeri…

Lee Kang-san’s voice came to mind, as if he was in shock.

‘Is that why you didn’t contact me?’

Wouldn’t it?

He was the older brother who had contacted me in advance to come to Korea.
Besides, he had come to Korea secretly, rather than spreading rumors everywhere in the news in this way.

I heard you cleared Daesung and the San Francisco Dungeon the other day.
Seems to be related to that.

“You must have been busy and forgot?”

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed.
Whenever she came to Korea, she always kept in touch with her…

“I’ll ask when I see you.”

I mean, why haven’t you been contacted?

After finishing her thoughts, Lee Hye-ri held the spear for her practice today.
The moment she stood in front of the training robot holding her spear, her teacher came to mind.

Siwoo Kim.
The benefactor who made Lee Hye-ri who she is today.
The tutor she admires.

Gangsan’s brother warned her over and over again that her private tutor was suspicious.
I don’t know.
Teacher Siwoo is taking care of me with utmost sincerity.

‘Without knowing anything.’

Even though I’m not a child of one or two years old, I still wrap myself up like that.
I can now decide which way to go.

Lee Hye-ri, who grabbed her spear, let her practice robot attack, wielding her wooden sword, aim for her.

“It’s easy now.”

Attack with a spear and attack the vital part of the practice robot as it is.

-Critical hit verdict. Reset the situation.

“I have to show it to Kangsan oppa too.”

I mean the greatness of teacher Siu.

***

After class with Mina Han, she returned home and cleaned up her condition.

-Han Mi-na, currently presumed to be in the early stages of skill addiction. Appears to have fallen into hypnosis, which she uses to compensate for her passive personality.
– Her mana adaptability is high, so her growth is expected to be fast.
-Her biggest problem is that her skill runs out of control and swallows her.

It was because of that addiction that he tried to hypnotize me and take extra classes.
He must have wanted to use hypnosis for a longer period of time.

It was Han Mi-na, whose mana grew rapidly to the point of approaching S-class thanks to the effect of sincere cheering.
It must feel like the world has changed.
I wonder if he asked for one more class tomorrow.

‘It’s a difficult story.’

Unfortunately, sincere support was not a skill that could be used very often.

My heartfelt support was important to me.
A heartfelt attitude to support others.

The problem is that the mind doesn’t come out often.

‘Because if I use more skills than this, I’ll be eaten.’

Lowering her self and her addiction to hypnosis was the most important thing for her, so she couldn’t write even if she wanted to.
Doing it once a week was already pushing it to the limit.

How to reduce addiction.
It was simple.

‘Creating a situation where her self-hypnosis is not used.’

By reducing the number of times of hypnosis, you increase the number of days you can be sober.
To do that…

‘I’ll need another partner to hypnotize him.’

The other opponent was me.

I was the only one who could raise her skill points, which was Hanmi’s intense desire.
Didn’t the skill points and mana stats rise little by little just by cheering with sincerity?
And it was clear that once she peaked, it would be easier than others to get there.

Han Mi-na needed me like that.
It’s rare to ask me first.

At the same time, none of Han Mi-na’s hypnosis worked on me.
SS level charisma stat.
A stat that nullifies all mental attacks.

She doesn’t know
She still misunderstood that if you use a lot of points, hypnosis works.

I was thinking of using this.
She was going to pretend not to know whenever she said that she would have additional classes in the future.
If that happens, she’ll be hypnotizing me for at least one day, so she won’t be able to hypnotize herself.

If you can make the day less of a chore, you might be able to slow down the progression of your addiction a bit more.

Of course, missing one day of self-hypnosis, which she spent seven days a week, was not going to overcome her addiction.
So.

It should be strong enough to make you forget about self-hypnosis.
It is a stronger stimulus than hypnosis.

Usually, the cause of being addicted to a skill was being intoxicated by the effect the skill gave.
In order to overcome skill addiction, two methods had to be combined.
It was to reduce the number of skills and give something more powerful than the joy that skill gives.

It’s about treating addiction with stronger stimuli.

‘Although there is a slight side effect of being addicted to that stimulation…’

I firmly believed that it was a problem that I could solve while slowly attacking Han Mi-na.

“Because I’m still getting better little by little.”

It will get better enough
2 weeks.
In it, alleviate her poisoning symptoms and fill her attack level to 100.
I watched the news with a firm resolve.

It was the news that Lee Kang-san came to Korea.

“I have to deal with that too.”

But the important thing now was Han Mi-na.

***

“Ugh…”

Han Mi-na trembled as if impatient.
It’s clear that the hypnosis worked properly…
Why?
Why?

Is this bracelet colored purple?

‘I was hypnotized just now?’

There were 70 hypnosis points left.
It’s clear, it’s clear that I’m still hypnotized.

… Why?
Why?
