Chapter 124 – Become a B-Class.

I soon found out what was going on.
Around Lee Chul-gi’s face, something like a purple cumulus cloud congealed.

Looking back, Kim Hae-na was making a lonely expression.

That she used poison.
I don’t know how she poisoned Lee Chul-gi without harming us at all, but she was an S-class hunter in the first place.
It was difficult for her to gauge her abilities in terms of common sense.

“You, you…!”

Lee Cheol-gi was not in a hurry, so he didn’t seem to have noticed that Kim Hae-na was among us.
He looked at the woman he had been with since he was a child, like a brother and sister, but he had fallen in love with in the end.
All kinds of remorse filled his eyes.

“Why are you like this?”
“Oh, no. It’s Hannah It’s your misunderstanding! This…!”

Lee Cheol-gi wanted to make an excuse, but he couldn’t convince him of anything he said when there was already so much evidence.
Because he knew it, he was perplexed and at a loss.

“You are related by blood to me. You wouldn’t have known.”
“What? What are you talking about?”
“My mother came to Korea with Lee Nam-cheol. And she killed herself with her own hands. I saw it with my own eyes.”

Kim Hae-na confided in her the deep story she had buried in her heart.
It was also a story that everyone in this room, except Park Eun-ha, knew.
Of course, Lee Cheol-gi didn’t know either.

“That, that… It can’t be!”
“You know that. That your father isn’t the kind of person to take care of an unfamiliar child like me. Why would you? It was meant to keep me silent. It was a hellish life for me, a nightmare every day.”
“It’s not my fault! Hannah! Don’t mind! We can love!”

Don’t mind
Lee Cheol-gi didn’t seem to want to give up on Kim Hae-na until the end.
It’s because I’m obsessed with it that I became the NTL target for the quest.
In a sense, his appearance was desperate.

“Let’s end it now…You have already committed many irreparable sins. Even if you are alive… You will never change.”
“What do you mean! Hannah! Love you! I love you!!”

Haena Kim turned her body around.
She did everything she wanted to say and do for her part.

She said she wanted to see Lee Chul-gi’s last days with her own eyes, but it seemed difficult to do so when her time came.
She was the one climbing her stairs helplessly.

“Hannah!!!”

I approached Lee Chul-gi.
There is no other solution than killing this guy.
Even if he turned it over to the police, there was no guarantee that this guy would be properly punished.
Since Lee Nam-cheol wouldn’t try to keep his son risk, he might have let him go unpunished.

I pulled out my sword.
And he aimed at his chest.

“For a moment! What are you! Why are you pointing a knife at me!”

My relationship with him in this life was short-lived.
It was all that I briefly brushed in front of Choi Ju-ri’s office.
Even if this guy didn’t remember me, it was natural.

But this guy and I had a bad relationship in a previous life.
It may not be murderous in and of itself.
However, I saw Lee Chul-gi’s bare face in this life, and the background to knowing all of this was, of course, the quest I received.

So this guy had to end his life with my own hands.
The previous two quests had received so much help from others.
It’s the same with this quest, but I wanted to at least finish the last one with my own hands.

Pook-

I thrust my sword into Lee Chul-gi’s chest.
His heart was stabbed and he coughed up blood.

With a forlorn expression on his face, he struggled with his arms somewhere, but there was no room for sympathy.

I wrapped the sword in mana, and when I swung it once, the blood on the sword fell off.

Park Jeong-kyun pulled down the women who were hanging on chains.
The two women were supported by Park Jeong-gyun and Park Eun-ha, respectively.

Park Jung-gyun tapped my shoulder with his free hand.

“Let’s go.”

It was the first time he had killed a person.
In his previous life, he had many struggles with underground guild members.
All the while, I tried my best not to kill anyone.

Of course, it was because of things like my conscience and moral concepts that I held onto unnecessarily.

I can’t say it’s unnecessary and bad, but I lived while keeping them and saw a lot of losses.
He was betrayed to the end and met a miserable end.
It’s hard to see that murder and NTR are directly related, but I couldn’t deny that my half-hearted attitude led a lot of things in a negative direction.

I chose to love multiple women at the same time.
It was a milestone signifying that this life would be completely different from the previous life.
The same goes for killing Lee Chul-gi.
The will to decide my own destiny with my own hands rather than borrowing others’ hands.
It was a decision that he would not hesitate to kill if he was evil.

My present life will be completely different from my previous life.

We went upstairs together.
Kim Hae-na stood there quietly alone.

I gently held her hand.

“Go now. It’s done.”
“Yes…”

She held my hand tightly.

#

“Whoa…”

It seemed that Park Jung-gyun and Park Eun-ha had issues to deal with at the guild level.
Han Yeon-ju also seemed to have personal business.
Kim Hae-na said she wanted to be alone and went back.

I also came home.

Taking a shower reminded me of what had happened earlier.
The first time I killed a person with my own hands.

The feeling of a sword being driven into my heart vividly came alive in my hand.

I can’t say that I really liked the feeling.
But to my regret, it wasn’t like that at all.
It’s not much different from the feeling of killing a monster, and Lee Chul-gi was literally a living monster.

If he had lived longer, it was clear that more innocent people would have been killed or injured.

I was showering and preparing a meal when a message appeared in front of my eyes.

【Quest “NTL Lee Chul-ki” Has been completed.】
【I got 40 EXP as a reward.】
【You have obtained the right to acquire a random skill.】

Somewhat belatedly, this quest completion message came to mind.

The reward obtained was the same as last time.

I stopped preparing the meal and sat down at the table to use the reward I had earned.
Last time I used my experience points to raise my ‘strength’ and ‘agility’ grades from C to B.
Since the grades of ‘Stamina’ and ‘Mana’ were still C, I raised them to B using 40 experience points.

【Overall grade has been B.】

Class B…
Within a few weeks of regressing, it reached a rating close to regressing.
Of course, in my previous life I lived as a B-class hunter for 10 years, and in this life I had just become a B-class.

That’s an incredibly fast growth rate.
By completing the quest and distributing the rewards to the stats like this, I didn’t know that I might be able to achieve an A grade or even a grade above that.

I also used the ‘Random Skill Acquisition Ticket’.
As usual, I pumped mana into the ticket, and it disappeared and a message appeared instead.

【You have acquired the skill “Speaker”.】

Speaker.

This skill was a familiar skill.

It is a skill mainly possessed by hunters who use bows, and is a skill that continuously fires mana arrows.
It is possible to use it without a bow, but its power is significantly reduced.

I already had another bow skill, ‘fire arrow’.
That meant a new weapon was needed.

If you talk to Choi Ju-ri, he will choose the appropriate weapon for you.
She wants to pay the price, but I wonder if she’ll try to get her money.

In this way, my status changed once more.

==========================

This time, the next quest would not open immediately.
Because there has been no hint of it yet.

What kind of woman will I meet next?

I didn’t want to think about it right now.

Fatigue came in many ways.
I thought I would eat and sleep well.

#

A few days went by without incident.

I was paying attention because I didn’t know when a new quest would open again, but there was no sign of it at all, at least not yet.

I lived a normal life
In the morning, I received private lessons from Kim Yeon-woo, and in the afternoon, I met mainly with Shin Hye-yeon and Park Eun-ha and went on dates.
Sometimes the three of us met.

I still haven’t heard from Kim Hae-na, and I think she needs her time, so she didn’t bother.

When I met Choe Ju-ri and told her story about her bow, as expected, she found a great item and recommended it to me.
She said she would pay the price, but as expected, she refused, so I had no choice but to say thank you.
