Chapter 84 – Episode 84 Hypnotist, Mina Han (16)

After completing her training, Lee Hye-ri washed her body and sat down on the sofa.
Now the time she said her brother was coming to the river was up.

– After work, I will go home tomorrow. Marcuson will go too.

It was a hard character like Kangsan’s older brother.

Do you really not believe me?
It was sad.
From the time she said that she would switch to her tank, Kang-San Lee stopped her over and over as if he didn’t believe her.
She said that she was still a child and there were many things she didn’t know, so give up.

Beep beep beep!

I heard the sound of unlocking the door.
There was only one person other than her who could open her door lock like this.

“Brother, are you here?”
“A long time. It’s been half a year since we saw each other face to face?”
“Because the last time I came to the entrance ceremony was.”

Normally, Lee Hye-ri would run to Lee Kang-san, who was blunt like an iron wall, and she would chat about this and that, but not today.
Because she also knows why Lee Kang-san came.

“Hey, Hyeri, how are you?”
“Is Marcuson here too?”
“Haha, sorry. I told them I didn’t have to come here, but they didn’t listen.”
“Are you okay. I understand your stubbornness.”

She said as if Lee Kang-san did not understand what the two said.

“Why are you sorry for that? He said he would check it out as an older brother.”
“Hey, do you believe your brother? Is it really necessary to come like this?”

Li Kangsan let out a sigh of hers.

“Is it because of him too?”

Lee Hye-ri’s private tutor, Kim Si-woo.

“Okay. Anyway, a man being your private tutor.”
“Are you afraid the tutor will do something strange?”
“Okay. Men are wolves…”
“Haa, oppa, how long do you think of me as a child?”
“What?”
“I must have told Marcuson too, but I am an adult now. I know everything, I went to the dungeon a few times in my own way. I still need some experience, but I can still get a sense of what kind of person this is.”
“…”

Li Kangsan tightly closed her mouth.
She wouldn’t have thought she’d come out aggressive like this.
Lee Hye-ri was a kind sister who always followed what her brother told her to do since she was little.
Although she was a bit stubborn, she mostly followed and relied on Li Kangsan’s words.
Yeah, except she’s going to tank.

“I told you.”

Marcuson shrugged her shoulders behind Mt. Lee.

“Ha, then I got it. She wants you to meet that tutor in person?”
“… What if I say no?”
“I’ll have to ask the teacher for her parental counseling.”
“Why are you a parent?”
“What?”
“My brother is just my brother. Not your parents.”
“Hyeri, you…”

She knew very well that these words would hurt her brother.
The fact that she lost her parents and lives with two siblings, and that Kangsan Lee acted as her parents and kept this family.
But she couldn’t survive in his enclosure forever.
Before she graduated from the academy, she had to be recognized as Lee Hye-ri, not Lee Kang-san’s younger sister.
That way, no matter which guild you go to, you’ll get a fair evaluation.

Now, I wanted to show that she is strong because she is Lee Hye-ri, not because she is strong because she is Lee Kang-san’s younger sister.
Because she is an adult too.

Brother don’t know
Why do I want to be a tanker?
My brother doesn’t know that he wants to become a tanker because he wants to become a hunter who protects people.
However, she did not have the courage to speak her mind.

“I have to say something too. I know you’re struggling, but isn’t this too much? All you have to do is trust me.”
“…”

So a colder word came out.
Lee Kang-san’s expression cooled down.

“Okay. I am not the parent Yes, you can’t be a parent… But still, he’s your brother and he’s your family. It’s a family, so I can worry about it. That.”
“Isn’t it because you don’t trust me?”
“It’s not like that. I’m worried. I was afraid the man would do something strange.”
“What’s strange?”

At that question, Li Kangsan shut her mouth.
She was more sexually conservative than she was.

“Forcing you to do something…”
“Don’t worry about that. Because that won’t happen I’m not the kind of woman who would fall for something like that.”

Lee Hye-ri answered confidently.
She knew what the strange thing he was talking about, how it was done by force.
But she won’t be forced to be forced by Kim Si-woo.
He still regarded her as one of her students.

Rather, she would not know if Siwoo Kim was forced to do so.

“… I get it. It could be that there is no such thing. But as your guardian, I need to make sure that the man taught you well.”

The stern man seemed unwilling to break his opinion.

“Pick up the spear and take your posture. See how much he has improved.”
“If you pass, don’t ever talk about the classes I’m taking in the future.”
“I get it.”

Lee Hye-ri took her spear and posed, and opposite her, Kang San also raised her shield.
A strange picture was drawn of two tanks glaring at each other.

“I’m going to attack you, so try to counter it.”
“Come and see.”

Li Kangsan swung her shield wide.
She had nothing to look after.
The spirit of fighting villains and monsters.

Her shield, her best shield and also her best weapon, fell upon her.

-Predicting the opponent’s sword path and using that power.

Siwoo Kim’s teachings came to mind.
Lee Hye-ri’s eyes quickly found Lee Kang-san’s attack route.
Then, she touched her spear to the center where the flow of power was felt.

Whoa!

The shield aimed at her body missed her side.

Cooong!

A great shimmer occurred on the living room floor, which had been specially treated with magic.
Li Kang-san said that she initially intended to scare her brother, but she had no intention of continuing the attack.
She did, but she never thought that she would take it so easily.

“…”
“How is it? Now I can repel my brother’s attacks. You don’t have to dodge.”

Marcuson, who was behind Lee Kang-san, her eyes lit up.

“Hey, look at this? Have you grown more?”

At that, when Lee Kang-san glared at Marcuson, he averted her eyes and looked away from her.

“One time could be a coincidence, so let’s keep going.”
“Your brother’s attacks won’t reach you at all.”
“Then, if it touches you even once out of five times, it counts as your defeat.”
“Isn’t that too cowardly?”
“In the first place, you wouldn’t be proud of being attacked by a stage-type tanker, right?”
“Are you guessing? Lazy brother or brother?”
“Okay. Stop this one more time.”

A bloody sparring between brother and sister began.
Lee Kang-san attacked with a shield, and Lee Hye-ri countered.
The fight was slightly advantageous to Lee Hye-ri thanks to Lee Kang-san controlling her powers to keep her house from collapsing.

After receiving all four attacks, Lee Hye-ri waited for the last attack from Lee Kang-san.

‘Once…’

Even her hard-nosed brother would approve of her.
So if she endures this time and gets her brother’s approval, nothing will stop her from taking her tutoring.

“Where have you lost your mind?”

Lee Kang-san dug in at a speed he hadn’t seen before.
Hyeri Lee raised her spear to strike back.

“Not enough.”

Quaang!

Enemy!

Lee Kang-san’s shield slashed her spear in half.

“The technique is good, but the ability to counter it is lacking. I don’t think that proud private tutor told me about this.”

Maybe it’s because of what she said her parents weren’t.
A thorn sprouted from Lee Kang-san’s words.
His shield touched her body.

“Hyeri, this is my victory.”

How long had it been since she had fought like this?
Before her parents died, she often fought with her brother and sister, but after she became a Hunter, she didn’t fight like this.

Lee Kang-san felt the pressure to protect the rest of her family, Lee Hye-ri.
Because of her strange obsession that Lee Hye-ri cannot lose the only person she can lean on, Lee Kang-san.

Wasn’t this fighting, at least, the strange feeling of debt she had in her heart after the death of her parents?
I don’t know Lee Kang-san, but Lee Hye-ri let go of that obsession a little bit.

No matter what happened, she believed that Mt. Ligang would never disappear.

“As expected, my brother is strong.”

Lee Hye-ri said with a slightly relieved smile.

“Hyeri, you have grown a lot too.”

Lee Kang-san also smiled at her.
It was a surprised face at her brother’s growth.

However apart from that.

“I’ll have to see the man myself, though.”
“Okay. A bet is a bet.”

***

After finishing her class with Han Mi-na, I received a call from Hye-ri.

“Lee Kang-san?”
-Yes. If it’s not a nuisance, can I visit you tomorrow?
“Are you talking about Mt. Lee Kang of the Iron Wall?”
-That’s right.

Was Marcuson not enough last time?

-Sorry. Teacher.
“It’s okay. Don’t mind. Are you doing well with your homework?”
-Yes. I trained today too. OK, can you send me a picture?
“Done. Stop sending pictures that would be posted on social media with the feeling of Oh Woon-wan.”
-Didn’t you like it?
“I like it.”

After the conversation, I hung up the phone.

“Anyway, it’s Mt. Lee.”

It seems that Marcuson was not enough.
It must be that the love of a brother is extreme.
That she doesn’t believe me when she suddenly appears next to her brother.

“It’s all about meeting briefly, but…”

There will be nothing to find out.
Because then I wore a mask.
Very few people know the existence of Kim Si-woo, who was under the mask.

“My brother who has no arms will be a little troublesome.”

Would you like to go out resolutely?

***

“…”
“…”

Lee Kang-san, who came to my house with Lee Hye-ri, glared at me without saying a word.
I also glared at him for a while.

“Your face is unfamiliar. I thought that if I was skilled enough to teach our Hyeri, then I might be the right person.”

Didn’t even recognize me.
It was difficult to recognize from the brief relationship he met while attacking the River Gate.
Unless I show you the fighting method I used when I was a shadow mask.

“Because Korea is vast and there are many hidden quirks.”
“Hmm… Is that so?”
“Have a cup of tea or something.”
“… Thank you.”

When I offered tea infused with chrysanthemum flowers, Lee Kang-san accepted the cup without saying anything.

“I’m asking from the point of view. Why did you think Hyeri had the qualities of a tanker?”
“Aren’t you the younger brother of the best tanker Lee Kang-san? That’s why.”
“… Is that all?”
“Please. As I saw it, there was potential. They are fast, use spears, and have eyes that allow them to deflect enemy attacks. It may have come from Lee Hye-ri’s tenacity to work as a tanker, or it could be because she is literally Lee Kang-san’s younger brother.”
“… Lee Hye-ri’s mobile strike is a skill for dealing. It’s a skill that increases her damage and helps her move quickly.”
“You’re right.”
“Is it okay to destroy the dealer’s potential?”
“No. That’s why I tried to give her the role of an evasion tank.”
“… The reason is that?”
“If a hunter with the talent of an evasion tank can even deal, then he can become an existence capable of serving more than two people by himself.”

Lee Kang-san kept his mouth shut.
This is not a game.
The reality is that the operator neither nerfs one person for making ridiculous performance nor gives a buff for having the ability to be pushed out of the mainstream.

So, if Lee Hye-ri establishes herself as an evasive tank with dildo potential, she will become something no one will be able to ignore.
Rather, she will become the hunter all guilds want.
I was sure.

“Lee Hye-ri will become the hunter everyone wants in the future.”

I continued talking while looking at Mt. Lee.

“I will overtake the No. 1 tank in front of me and become the best tank.”

Lee Kang-san’s eyes glared at me shone sharply.
She was a person who could put pressure on a person with just a glance.
However, I was not one to be pushed by such an opponent.

Their eyes met in midair.
The atmosphere became bloody enough to make me wonder if there were sparks.

“So your goal is to make Lee Hye-ri the world’s number one tank?”
“It should be. Because she said Lee Hye-ri said she wanted to be the best.”

Lee Kang-san looked at me without saying a word.
