Chapter 191 – Rua Kim and the Missing Cat

#

It was surprising even to me that Lua Kim asked me to go out to eat.
Was she such an active woman?

But it soon became clear that she hadn’t invited me to dine with her in her rational interest.

“How do I get into the academy?”

She asked at the kimchi jjigae restaurant she went with.

Kimchi soup.

Since she’s a woman and she’s a hot rising model these days, I thought maybe she should eat more luxurious and sophisticated food, but after drinking two cups of Green Tea Frappuccino in a row, she said, “I feel it. I want to eat Korean food.” ” He said.

Even if it’s not, since this place is not far from my favorite kimchi jjigae restaurant, I tried “How about kimchi jjigae?” I asked.
Then she said “Call!” She answered immediately.
Not only that, but it also showed a drooling appearance, so it was possible to know that the kimchi stew was sincere.

After entering the restaurant, we did not speak to each other for a while.
Because she was focused on eating.
This restaurant is also famous for the quick delivery of food.

Kim Rua ate the kimchi stew that came out not long after ordering it, almost burying her nose in it.

“It’s good! Really delicious! Why didn’t I know there was a house like this!!”

It felt good that she came to like the store I like.

“Oh, why have you been absent lately?”

The manager who recognized me greeted me warmly.

“A pretty girl~ A foreigner?”

Rua Kim had the appearance that a stranger could mistake her for a foreigner.
Rua Kim shook her head as if she was used to it, “Ehh~” And said, “I’m Korean, my dad is Korean.” She replied.

“Yes, yes, it’s spicy, but is it okay?”
“It is very delicious. I think I’m going crazy. I will tell all my friends that this house is delicious~”
“Oh, thank you. A girl with a pretty face has a pretty heart too~~”

Perhaps the owner of the kimchi jjigae restaurant didn’t know that she was a hot model these days.
If she promotes the store once on social media, she will have more customers in this store.
Of course, even now, there are so many customers that you have to wait in line for meals, so the boss might be in trouble.

The last time she came here she was with another woman.
I’m glad the boss didn’t mention that part.
Of course, Rua Kim and I were not in a relationship where we had to worry about such a topic.
At least not yet.

Rua Kim asked me a very basic question about how to get into the academy.
You could find something like that just by searching the internet.
In addition to the difficult places to get into, like Gaon Academy, there were many academies that made it easy to get into.
Furthermore, if Lua Kim, who is popular with young people, was admitted, her tuition might be discounted or waived.
Because she becomes publicity as much as she does.

It was something she was familiar with, having seen quite a few similar cases.
There were never many academies like Gaon Academy where students flocked even when they were still.

“Normally, you just have to go and register and pay the entrance fee. And there are cases where you have to take a test for some famous places. Anyway, I’m in the middle of the semester right now, so the academies I can enter will be limited. Unless it’s donation admission.”
“Entrance by donation?”
“Because any academy has to have operating expenses, there are places that accept it unconditionally if you pay a higher than usual fee. An academy targeting hunters costs a lot to operate.”

So, some academies included students’ dungeon raids in their curriculum.
In other words, it was a structure that provided education and raised extra income.
Hunters who put importance on actual combat often preferred this side.

“How much should I give? What academy does Seong-gyu go to?”

Rua Kim had many questions.
I wanted to become a hunter without knowing this, but of course there would be a story.
It’s strange that you have such enthusiasm and yet don’t know basic information.

“It is different for each academy. The bigger and more famous the place, the more expensive it is. And I am attending Gaon Academy.”
“Ah~”

Seeing that there was no response even after mentioning Gaon Academy, it was clear that he did not know much about this side.
Rather, the people at the other table glanced this way.
As I said before, a lot of hunters come to this store.
I had raised the ‘Scouter’ level to max level here before.

‘Come to think of it…’

I realized that I had forgotten one important thing.
Looking at Lua Kim’s information window.

I was forgetting an important business because I was doing unfamiliar things one after another.

I activated her ability and looked at her information window.

And…

“Ah…”
“Why? What did you put on my face? I can’t see you, so can you take it off?”

Saying that, Kim Rua pushed her own face.

I pretended to remove something from her cheek.

“Here are the eyelashes.”
“Really? Look.”

She wanted to see her own eyelashes plucked from her cheeks.
I rubbed my fingers against it and pretended to shake it off the floor.

“It’s small and you won’t see it.”
“As expected, you’re a hunter, so you have good eyes~~”
“Lua-san is also a hunter.”

It’s A grade, you.

However, I felt insensitive in many ways.
Feeling that something has not been systematically trained.

What surprised me more than her rating was her main ability.

‘He was a summoner…’

Summoner was not a common class.
In addition, when it comes to A-class summoners, they are very popular, making them one of the highest-paid hunter classes.

“By the way, you said you wanted to become a hunter, but you didn’t go to the academy yet? Didn’t you go to university?”

She was 20 years old like me.
Even if she hadn’t entered the academy, she would have become a student at Hunter College if she had naturally gone there.
If she really aspires to become a Hunter.

“That’s… There’s a little story. If you buy me kimchi stew, I’ll tell you.”
“Yes, I was going to buy it even if it wasn’t.”
“Then buy me coffee. Green Tea Frappuccino.”
“I really like it. Green Tea Frappuccino.”
“It’s because when you stick to one, you hit it until your body refuses. I’ll probably be drinking it all the way until next week.”
“Yes, I’ll buy you coffee too.”
“Okay!”

It’s not like she wants to get her rice and coffee because she doesn’t have her own money.
Because when she looked at her profile on the internet, her parents seemed to be pretty famous people.
Her father seems to be a doctor, and her mother seems to have been an actress in Brazil.

“It hasn’t been long since I came to Korea. About five months. Before that, I went back and forth between Brazil and Korea, but now I’m completely settled here. When I was in Brazil, I had no intention of becoming a Hunter. It’s a very dangerous job there, and I don’t really want it myself.”

The story that a hunter is a dangerous job in Brazil was a story I was familiar with.
Some countries in South America, Africa, and some countries in Southeast Asia had poor security, so halfway hunters were often targeted.
Hunters fought for power, or in very severe cases, hunters’ body parts were sold in the market.
It was a kind of superstition, and there were rumors that if you ate a part of a hunter’s body like that, you could become a hunter yourself or get rid of misfortune.
Horrifyingly, it wasn’t cadara, it was what was actually happening.

If it was a beautiful young lady like Lua Kim, and if it was a hunter who used summoning techniques, she could be targeted in a bad enough way.

Anyway, as soon as I came to Korea, I suddenly became a hot model.
From the standpoint of women like Kim Si-eun, Rua Kim could have been disliked.

“Why didn’t you want to be a Hunter when you were in Brazil?”
“That… There was a bit of an accident. There is a cat my father bought me, but I sent it away.”
“Send? Where?”
“I don’t know. I think it was because of my ability, but the cat disappeared anyway. I was so sad because she was a dear child. So let’s not use our abilities at all. I thought that was mourning for that child.”
“Then why have you changed your mind now?”
“I watched a YouTube video. It was a motivational video, but there are people like me who become hunters and become rather unhappy. I tell them to stop hating their abilities and find ways to use them in a positive way. I saw it and realized. Not to miss the missing child, but to find a way to bring him back. I made it disappear, so maybe I can make it come back. I believe so.”

It was a very unexpected story.
I wondered what the hell had happened to Rua Kim.

‘Is the cat missing? Because of ability?’

As far as I know, summoning is the ability to bring creatures or objects from another world into this world.
But to send the creatures of this world to another place.
It was the complete opposite of the basic concept.

I felt compelled to talk more about this with Rua Kim.
