Chapter 12 – 12. Hidden Gate.
The day the Hidden Gate opens.
The usually quiet ant nest was lively with E-class hunters from all over the place.
Each of them gathered together with their colleagues to drink beer, or to buy food from food trucks that stood on the main street dividing the district.
“It’s like a festival because there’s even a food truck.”
Jeong Ha-ryun, who is particularly attached to these days because there are a lot of people, said. I had the same thought.
Of course, I had no intention of buying food from this food truck directly operated by the Hunter Association.
‘They sell hamburgers for 3-4,000 won for 10,000 won outside. Crazy bastards.’
After looking around, we headed to Area A.
“How do you see that bastard?”
“Um… I can’t see it.”
He circled all around, but he couldn’t find Yangachi and Jeoks Clan, who had harassed Jeong Ha-ryun. I was about to scream in case she missed it, but I stopped.
‘Because I still have time.’
Calling them out by shouting was okay after looking over Area B. So we left Area A and headed for Area B. No, I was going to
“Don’t you want to become stronger?”
Unless a woman with a yellow armband on her left arm hadn’t stood in our way.
“…Yes?”
“Don’t you want to be strong?”
Repeating the same thing, she looked fine on the outside. No, rather, she was a beauty that any man would look back on at least once.
Particularly impressive was the charm point next to the lips and the black ponytail that went over the waist to the buttocks. Her breasts are as big as Jeong Ha-ryun.
One peculiar thing was that he was holding a pair of swords the size of his height in one hand. In her other hand, she was holding an unknown flyer.
“…What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
My attitude was cautious.
It’s not just because she’s a big-breasted beauty.
Wearing that yellow armband means that you are a safety agent dispatched from the Hunter Association. That’s at least a C-class hunter. I was the only one who lost if I was caught blaspheming and things became a nuisance.
“If you learn Geosimryu, you will be able to become much stronger than you are now.”
“Corporate!?”
“Yeah. Have you ever heard of it?”
“Nope. Not at all.”
To be honest, it was the first word I had ever heard.
I looked at Jeong Ha-ryun just in case, but shook my head as if she hadn’t heard of it either.
The security guard said with a benevolent smile as if he was okay.
“Simply put, it’s magic training. I call it mental law. Geosimryu is a mental method that aims to have magical power as large as a mountain and as wide as the sea through mental and physical training.”
I thought I was a big heart again because my chest was big.
But it’s a mental method. Isn’t that what it is if it’s a mental law? It’s like martial arts from martial arts.
‘I certainly heard that there is such a thing.’
Some guardians and top hunters have revealed that they have learned martial arts in interviews. Of course, it is still unknown whether he learned real martial arts or just disguised his awakened abilities as martial arts.
“How are you? If you’re interested, I’d like to move around and talk about it in more detail. Of course, the girlfriend over there as well.”
Jung Ha-ryun hesitantly twisted her body, probably liking the word girlfriend. I came to my senses and deliberately put strength on the hand that was wrapped around my shoulder.
“No, I don’t have time for that. Excuse me, but what is your grade?”
“Hmm. It’s embarrassing, but my discipline is not enough, so I’m still stuck in C-class. However, in terms of magic, I am confident that I can stand shoulder to shoulder with the top hunters!”
“Then, do you have a director or a teacher?”
“Nope. Originally there was a grandfather, but he passed away a few years ago. Now, as the heir, I alone run the dojo.”
Uh, so
Are you promoting a dojo run by a C-class, let alone a guardian, who is not a top hunter? Even while working as a safety officer.
‘Should I stab him for neglect of duty?’
As I was thinking about that, the security guard realized that it was too late to convince me, and ended the conversation by handing over the leaflet in his hand.
“If you would like to consult later, please call the number written there. You can also come directly to the dojo. Then good luck.”
After speaking quickly, the security guard disappeared wagging his long ponytail like a tail.
‘…I wasted my time properly.’
I threw the flyer I received into the trash can. I’m going to go to the dojo run by the A-class hunter, but C-class? There’s no way. If it was before I knew Jeong Ha-ryun, I wouldn’t have known.
“Because there are a lot of people, there are all very strange people.”
“Still…He didn’t seem like a bad person.”
“I wasn’t even a bad person. I said he was a strange person. Let’s go to area B sooner than that. I need to find that bastard.”
We moved the bridge that had stopped for a while.
When I was half way through area B, Jung Ha-ryun pulled my clothes.
“Hey brother.”
“Where?”
“There’s the yellow hair.”
As she turned her head in the direction she was pointing, she saw a blonde bully fooling around with her teammates, expressing with her whole body that she was kidding me.
“Is that him?”
Nod.
I checked the time.
It was 10 minutes before the gates opened.
I found the right fit.
“Oh, brother.”
“Yes?”
“I-I think I made eye contact with you.”
When I take my eyes off the phone, I see the bully looking in our direction and saying something. His colleague who was sitting around looked at us at the same time and then approached us with a chuckle.
“Hey, is this the girl you were talking about?”
“Oh, it’s clear to see that you’re so shy. The clothes are almost the same as back then. Hey, do you remember me?”
“Is the magic that strong?”
“You sent the Little Giant in one shot. Even the examiner was startled.”
“But she said it was fucking pretty. Can’t you see my face?”
“If you look at it, you pretend, damn it. Take off your hat.”
“Hey, show me your face.”
They acted like they were completely ignoring me, then one reached out to remove Jeong Ha-ryun’s hooded cap.
Of course, I wasn’t the only one watching it.
Kwak!
“Ouch!! Mr. Fuck! Let go! You bastard…Ahh!!”
As I grabbed the wrist of the man who was approaching the hood, their eyes were fixed on me. Are you looking at this now?
These syvalums.
“Hey, they’re a lot more bullshit than I’ve heard.”
“This shit. Who are you. Are you my boyfriend?”
“Can’t you see? Even if my head doesn’t turn, it doesn’t turn very well.”
“You crazy bastard. What if it’s your boyfriend? Aren’t you going to let it go soon?”
A blonde bully approached me with the momentum to swing his fist at any moment. Instead of letting go of the man’s wrist as I wished, I slapped the bully’s cheek.
Damn!
“…Uh?”
For a moment, a stupid sound came out of his mouth as if he didn’t know what had happened. The other guys were also one step behind in grasping the situation.
“Mr. Lee…”
Later, he slapped the bully’s cheek again, realizing that he had been hit. Like the first time, it was in a state where the strength was drained from the hand.
Damn!!
“Keugh!”
“I can’t avoid it, but I can’t stop it either. What on earth did this terribly weak bastard believe in and act like that? Is this Syvalum?”
Approach the staggering guy.
Damn!!
“Tell me? What did you believe in flirting with someone else’s woman like that?”
Damn!!
“You fucking bastard!”
The remaining guys raised their hands on their swords in indignation, as if this kind of garbage was also a colleague. After playing with each other, I still can’t figure out the situation.
“When you say something nice, put your hand off the sword, you bastards.”
“This chewy is back!”
“Sung Hyun-jae. Get your hands off the sword.”
At that time, the guy who had been holding his poo pom with his arms crossed all the time from behind spoke. As you can see, he seems like the leader.
“Jaejun Yoon! You crazy bastard In this situation, can you say something like that!?”
“Get off, you fucking bastard!”
The man called Jaejun Yoon said that and pointed somewhere with his chin. When I glanced at it, a security guard was approaching me with a terrifying look.
“What’s going on?”
“Nope. There was just a brief misunderstanding. It’s sort of solved now. Yes?”
I answered the security officer’s question.
As I looked at Yoon Jae-joon, a broadcast announcing the remaining time came on just in time.
– There are 3 minutes left before the opening of the Hidden Gate ‘Queen Ant Cave’. Hunters, please prepare your position.
Hearing the broadcast that time was running out, Yoon Jae-jun gritted his teeth and said,
“…Yes. There was a brief misunderstanding.”
“I’ll just skip it this time. Instead, one of you should go to another district.”
It was meant to be, even without saying it.
Nodding my head, I approached the bully. A security guard stopped me for a moment, but when I pulled out my wallet and said I wanted to show a little courtesy as an apology, he let me down.
It must have been quite a shock to have been beaten without being able to resist once, but his expression was completely stunned.
I took out a bill from my wallet, quickly folded it up and put it in the bully’s front pocket.
“Hey, it’s 200,000 won, so pay for the treatment. Fix your hand habits in the future. Oh, and if you catch my eye just one more time, then… You know?”
Kicking, I smiled and patted my shoulder and followed the security guard to Area A. Jeong Ha-ryun rubbed his face in my arms.
-It is one minute before the opening of the Hidden Gate ‘Queen Ant Cave’.
