Chapter 24 – Really, What Happened?

Raising the skill level was possible in two ways.
To use skills often.
And leveling up through related rewards.

Perhaps that reward could be obtained through a quest.
I don’t have it right now, so there was only one way I could put it into action.

‘I use the skill often.’

This was a hunter dense area.
Half of the people eating at this restaurant were hunters.
Distinguishing between ordinary people and hunters was easily identifiable with experience like me, even without detecting mana.

I tried to activate the ‘Scouter’ ability on someone nearby.

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

Name [Jeong Jong-soo]
Height [173cm]

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

It was the same as when he used his ability on Park Jong-gil before.
All I could confirm was very little information.

‘Of course.’

Since the skill level was still 1, the amount of information he could obtain could not change.

I continued to use the ‘Scouter’ ability on the hunters around me.
Information that could only be confirmed by name, height, weight, and grade appeared in front of my eyes one after another.

“Ah…”

After seeing the information of about six people in a row, I felt dizzy.
This too was natural.
Even if it was a skill that consumed only a small amount of mana for a ‘scouter’ to use, checking the information of so many people at once would of course be too much.

Moreover, I practiced with Shin Hye-yeon intensively for over 6 hours today.
It was natural to feel tired.

I took the potion out of my inventory.
Without hesitation, he took out the health and mana potions one by one and drank them.

Potions were never cheap as they were items.
At least, it’s not a price that college students can easily drink.

In general, Hunters also used them inside dungeons.
Of course, hunters with high incomes sometimes drink them like water, but such cases were exceptional.

I had about five health potions and five mana potions each in my inventory.
I consumed a few while making recovery potions, and I just drank one at a time.

‘I’ll have to buy more.’

If it was used to raise the skill level like today, I thought that the number of uses would increase.
Certainly, the situation is completely different from this time in my previous life.

Thanks to drinking the potion, I woke up.

I continued to check the information of the hunters in the restaurant.

It was time to check about seven more people, including the Hunter who had left the restaurant and the Hunter who had just entered.

【The level of the skill ‘Scouter’ has reached 2.]

A welcome message came to mind.

Seeing me smile, the lady who happened to be serving kimchi stew asked me.

“Are you that hungry?”

He probably thought I was happy to see the food served.

“Yes, aunt. It is so delicious.”
“Ho-ho-ho. Come often Are you popular with students? He’s handsome and has a good physique. It’s a prize that women will love. How is it? Would you like to meet my daughter?”
Haha. I appreciate your words, but I already have a girlfriend.”
“Ho Ho. It’s worth it. Anyway, come often, okay?”
“Yes~”

When she replied that she had a girlfriend, it was Shin Hye-yeon, not Lee Seul-gi, that came to my mind.
Thinking of her made her worry again.
What on earth had happened to make her look like that?

I picked up a spoon to eat the freshly served kimchi stew.
There were no hunters left to check further information in this restaurant.

‘If I use my ability at school.’

Why didn’t I think of that?
The students of the Hunter Department were 100% Hunters.
If it was there, the perfect conditions for raising the ‘Scouter’ level were in place.

‘Because the deadline is 24 hours.’

Because of the 400% training effect item, you have to train hard and raise the ‘Scouter’ level.

However, these were not burdensome at all.
It is natural for Hunter to seek growth.
Being in a rapid growth system that he had not enjoyed in his previous life, there was no way he would be dissatisfied.

“Is this surprising?”

Park Eun-ha looked inside her shopping bag that was placed on her table and said.
Even without counting, I could tell that it was 50 million won, just as Seulgi Lee said.
She wouldn’t lie about something like this.
If you think about what will happen if you do, you won’t be able to do that.

Park Eun-ha took out only her money from her shopping bag and put it in her own inventory.

She said, “I won’t ask how she got it. Maybe that’s a lot of money for you. Do you hate your friend that much?”
“Huh.”

Seulgi firmly nodded her head.
She changed her outfit today because her outfit was pointed out yesterday.
With clothes that show less of her breasts and legs.
Dressed like that, it seemed to have no distinctive features at all.
As she walked down her path, the gaze of men looking at her also significantly decreased.

Thinking about this, the gap between Park Eun-ha and herself in front of her was felt even wider.
Park Eun-ha had a style that attracted men’s attention no matter what she wore.
The same goes for Shin Hye-yeon.

Recalling her humiliation, Seulgi bit her lip.

“Okay.”

Park Eun-ha raised her body.

“Don’t call me to ask about progress. I’ll contact you when it’s over.”
“Uh, yeah…”

It was embarrassing.
I’m taking 50 million won, but I’ll be in touch with you, so don’t contact me first.
If it had been her self and her money, she would have felt sore.

Park Eun-ha walked out of the cafe just like she did yesterday.

Seulgi Lee smiled as she looked at the place where she had disappeared.

‘Stupid bitch.’

As expected, Shin Hye-yeon sent her money, surprised by her false message he had sent.
They said it would take about a day and sent the money late at night.
He said he would try to arrange the rest as soon as possible.

‘The world isn’t fair.’

Those who have a lot are stupid.
Shin Hye-yeon or Choi Seong-gyu.
Fools don’t think carefully and trust people easily.

Seulgi Lee lifted the iced latte in front of her and put her lips on the straw.

“Whoop whoop.”

I couldn’t contain my spontaneous laughter.
To send the money quickly without knowing where it might be spent.
Had she been in her position, he would never have sent such a large sum of money.
It doesn’t matter if you have ten or twenty times that money.
What do you believe in and give a lot of money?
If the reason is because my mother collapsed, I can’t give it even more.
It means that there is no place to come out of money for the time being.

‘That’s your limit.’

Seulgi Lee drew a rosy future.
A painting in which Shin Hye-yeon is killed by Park Eun-ha and Choi Seong-gyu returns to him.

To celebrate the day in advance, I sent a message to Choi Seong-gyu.

– Honey, what are you doing? The weather today is so nice~ I want to go see the sea with you~~♥♥

After practicing with Hyeyeon Shin, we decided to take a short break from each other.
As a result of checking the information of the students with the ‘scouter’ so that they lose their eyes at school, they were able to raise the level to 4.
More than that, I couldn’t continue because my stamina couldn’t support it.
Even if you drink potions, there is a limit.
Because my current level is not enough to be able to use skills all day long.
Even if the grade was the same, the training period and intensity determined the level of the hunter.
No matter how good your physique and stamina are, you cannot perform well without exercising at all.

Going back 20 years, I was back in the physical condition I was in when I was 20.

‘I have to train.’

The reason why I couldn’t use all my stamina was because I had to train with Shin Hye-yeon today.
Raising the ‘Scouter’ level is still possible later.
However, getting 400% effect with Shin Hye-yeon while training together was something I had to do right now.

She was worried that she might not be able to practice her training, but Shin Hye-yeon contacted her first.

Although his expression was still dark, it was fortunate that it was not serious enough to stop training.

There wasn’t much to worry about.
Today she was clearly not concentrating.
There was nothing dangerous in the training room, but if he was in this condition in the dungeon, he would have been in a very dangerous situation.

“Huh?”

Suddenly there was a vibrating sound and I looked at my phone next to me.

Suddenly, my brow furrowed.
Seulgi Lee’s contact, which had been absent for about a day, started again.

– Honey, what are you doing? The weather today is so nice~ I want to go see the sea with you~~♥♥

“…”

Not even a psychopath.
There was no context at all to say it was a sudden message.
You were angry with me and suddenly wanted to go see the sea.
In a way, I thought it was her.

“Shall we begin?”

Thinking I had enough rest, I told Hyeyeon Shin to resume her training.

“Yes.”

Shin Hye-yeon got up from her chair and tried to lift her up, but her staggering balance fell.
As she was training in an unfocused state, she seemed to consume more of her stamina than yesterday.

I quickly approached her and helped her.

“Are you okay?”
“Ah!”

Shin Hye-yeon was startled and she shook my hand from touching her body.
It was so unnatural that I couldn’t help but ask.

“Really, what happened?”
