chapter 19
19 – Life as a hunter in another world has begun (2)
“You mean level 2?”
The instructor asked again in disbelief.
“Yes, but.”
How can only a level 2 send a black squirrel in one shot?
With two fists and no weapons.
The instructor opened his palm and placed it on Hunter’s face.
“Wait. I’ll have to check it through directing, if it’s a lie, I’ll have to be prepared.”
Directing.
This is a passive skill that scans a specific hunter’s level, information, and ability database.
It was mainly used for the purpose of finding out the hunter’s abilities, and it was a skill that was more often used for the purpose of checking whether the hunter had committed a crime.
However, in order to prevent the act of confirming the identity of the opponent through directing, acquire an active skill that invalidates directing from D rank.
However, if you cast directing with a justified official document through the association, the opponent cannot use the directing nullification skill.
If you do, you will be immediately transferred to the association for obstruction of public affairs.
F-Rank Hunters,
If you want to lower the stats through directing, you just have to do it.
But. It is possible to hide stats by attacking the caster while casting directing.
“Directing!”
As the instructor shouted, a blue aurora began to drift from his hand.
Then a scan window appeared in front of the instructor’s eyes.
[Class] None
[Classification] Hunter [Rating] F
[Race] Human [Gender] Male [Prestige] 5 [Crime] 0
[Level] 2
[Life] 60/60 [Mana] 15/15
[Strength] 85 [Agility] 10 [Stamina] 10
[Intelligence] 9 [Wisdom] 8
[Status] OK
[Hungry] 3 [Thirst] 5 [Fatigue] 8
[Spare stats] 3
Really level 2 was right.
‘Your strength stat is 85?! Does this make sense?’
The part that surprised the instructor who was discriminating the ability level was the strength level of the hunter.
It was a stat that could never come from a level ‘2’ hunter.
I immediately directed the equipment Hunter was wearing.
[Weapon] None
[Armor] Beginner hunting uniform
[Accessories] None
[Optional Equipment] None
Directing results.
The item that would drastically increase the hunter’s strength stat was not worn.
‘Then, those ignorant strength stats are pure DNA values?!’
The instructor scratched the chin of the growing beard and stared at Siwoon in dismay.
Siwoon is staring at the instructor with a blunt expression.
“Did your strength stat be 85 from the start?”
“Yes.”
“……….”
The instructor was speechless.
I had never heard of such a case in my life.
I have seen cases where people from the real world, such as fitness trainers, fighters, and elite athletes, became hunters and crossed over to the other world.
People in such cases have the level of ‘post-regular’ level of strength that is incomparable to that of ordinary people,
When such people first came to this world, their strength levels were at most 6-8.
This is because in the other world, no matter how strong a person is in the present world, their physical abilities change with the pure DNA value they were born with in the beginning.
‘Besides, this guy hasn’t even distributed the spare stats given to him by leveling up.’
Among the hunters that Instructor Lee directed while working as an instructor for ten years, the strength stat of the person with the highest strength at level 1 was ‘9’.
However, I was surprised to see a level 2 guy with a strength stat of 85 appearing in front of me.
“……….”
Hunter said to the dumb-faced instructor.
“Instructor. Are you done with your business? Can I continue hunting?”
“The wooden sword you were holding is broken. Are you going to keep hunting with your bare fists?”
“My fists are more comfortable.”
“That, yes… ….”
After a while,
Paak! Bahah! Baek!
A heavy dull murmur heard again.
This sound is the sound of hunting monsters with bare fists.
“……….”
The instructor looked at him while hunting silently for a while, then stopped hunting and gave instructions to the hunters who were looking at Si-woon with curious eyes to focus on hunting.
It was then.
“What a surprise!”
“That one?”
“It’s a boss mob!”
A shout came from a group of hunters who were hunting.
In front of him, a squirrel the size of a wild boar was gnashing its teeth and glaring at the hunters.
The sight of the man with his forearm-sized fangs wide open and glaring at the hunters with red eyes as if he were going to eat them was full of life.
“Everyone, step back!! I will deal with you!”
The instructor gasped.
Hunting the instructor’s shout, the hunters backed away.
Who is that monster?
It was a man-eating squirrel.
A man-eating squirrel.
A level 25 monster that respawns once or twice a day as a boss monster in the beginner hunter training ground!
It was a monster that novice hunters couldn’t deal with because it had murderous attack power and a solid collection. So the reason the instructor waited here was to wipe out the man-eating squirrels when they regenerated.
To keep the hunters safe.
That was the instructor’s duty.
Clock!
The instructor immediately installed the Battle X.
Tattatattack!!
By the way, in the distance, someone is charging at the man-eating squirrel like lightning.
It was that Hunter.
“Hey, you bastard! Dangerous! Stop me!! You can’t deal with that monster!”
The instructor shouted at Hunter, but Hunter didn’t even listen.

A quest window appeared in front of Siwoon.
‘Oh, my God.’
This quest is the first quest that comes to mind once the man-eating squirrel is regenerated here. However, this was inconsistent.
Only hunters below level 5 can set foot here.
It was a quest given to hunters, but it was virtually impossible.
Novice hunters couldn’t deal with the level 25 man-eating squirrel.
There were even hunters who, fascinated by the salty rewards of this quest, rushed at the man-eating squirrel and went to the nether road.
“Kuaaang-!!”
The man-eating squirrel glared at Si-woon with an angry expression.
‘If it were me now, I could complete this quest.’
Siwoon believed in his strength stats.
After hitting the man-eating squirrel a few times, if you didn’t want to catch it, you just had to fall back.
After a while, a man-eating squirrel lunged at Si-woon with fangs!
Moment.
Everything in the world looked slow, and the movements of the monsters were detailed.
‘I don’t just have high strength.’
Percussion! With his right hand, Shiwoon grabbed the fangs protruding from the man-eating squirrel’s belly.
The man-eating squirrel caught with fangs resisted shaking his head wildly.
Siwoon’s body trembled at how strong he was.
‘After holding onto it so that it cannot move.’
After clenching the fist in his left hand…
Paak!
‘Is it okay?’
But what about the man-eating squirrel that was hit by Si-woon’s fist?
Looked fine.
‘What? No nod….’
I was embarrassed.
I was well aware that man-eating squirrels had high defense.
However, with a strength level of 85, I expected that even the man-eating squirrel would be hit with a single hit.
At that time, taking advantage of Siwoon’s panic, the man-eating squirrel shook its head and pushed it hard.
“Kuuk.”
A fishy moan escaped my mouth. A sharp fang cut Siwoon’s shoulder.
A warm feeling rose from his shoulder.
In an instant, your health was cut in half!
Gulp. I rapidly sucked his stamina potion and tried to get back into my stance…
Boom!
The man-eating squirrel’s claws came flying.
Siwoon immediately ducked his back to avoid him, and the man-eating squirrel jumped and turned around. Then, he quickly turns his body and attacks Shi-woon with the huge tail attached to his back.
The tail flies right in front of your eyes.
‘I can see the movement!’
As I quickly backstepped to avoid the tail attack, the man-eating squirrel’s tail slammed into the ground.
Quang!
The ground shook with the momentary shock, and a clear hole was left where the tail was slammed.
‘That tail attack would go away with just one hit.’
Immediately, Siwoon quickly closed the distance and grabbed the man-eating squirrel’s large fangs with his right hand.
Its fangs were so large and long that it was easy to hold.
‘This bastard’s weakness is his fangs. Grab your fangs and do this… ‘
As I pulled the hand I was holding, the body of the man-eating squirrel stumbled.
As I pulled my fangs harder toward the floor, the man-eating squirrel’s head came with it.
I pulled the man-eating squirrel’s face to the ground with even more force.
Quang! And with his left fist toward the back of the man-eating squirrel’s head…
f*ck! Puck.
‘What is it? Can’t you nod?’
There seemed to be no blow.
The man-eating squirrel, pinned to the ground with its fangs caught, struggled even more ferociously.
Riding on the man-eating squirrel’s back, Shi-wun successively strikes him in the back of the head with his left fist.
Paak! f*ck!
“Keeweng!!”
The more he did, the more the man-eating squirrel struggled.
The man-eating squirrel lifted its head by itself.
“Ugh!”
Then, the man-eating squirrels started rampaging randomly.
Shiwoon, who unknowingly climbed onto the back of a man-eating squirrel, grabbed his fangs even harder to keep from falling off.
I grabbed my fangs with my right hand and hit the man-eating squirrel’s head hard with my left hand!
Paak! f*ck! Pug. Pooh!
He poured out punches in succession without stopping.
‘Damn it! Just die.’
It seemed that the damage was hardly taken.
The moment Siwoon bit his teeth, the man-eating squirrel shook his body to get Shiwoon off.
It was like a horse rejecting a person other than its owner from riding on its back.
“Stop falling in, son! He can’t win against you!”
The instructor who was watching shouted as he aimed his battle ax.
“Instructor Lee Han-seok, I will take care of it.”
Siwoon called the instructor’s name and said. He seemed to know who the instructor was.
But in the current situation, that didn’t matter.
“Don’t be mean and get off his back quickly, son of a b*tch!”
“Just one minute.”
I had no intention of avoiding trials.
It was an expression of determination to complete the quest.
‘That foolish bastard!’
The instructor in the back held up his battle ax and was ready to use his skill at any moment. However, he hesitated because he would receive damage even if he used the skill recklessly.
As the man-eating squirrel shook its body like crazy, Shi-woon’s body shook as well.
There was a moment of confusion.
‘How many times does this guy need to be beaten to die?’
“Quik!”
At that time.
The man-eating squirrel, full of rage, started running in an attempt to knock Si-woon off his back.
Tattatattack!!
“Go.”
Siwoon’s hair fluttered.
Instinctively, I wrapped my right hand around the nape of his neck.
The man-eating squirrel started shaking his head wildly as he raced at 80 km/h.
The speed at which they ran was so explosive!
Siwoon held on, gripping his fangs even harder with one hand…
‘I’ll fall if I’m wrong.’
The weight of his body shook, Siwoon reflexively changed his hand that gripped his fangs from his right hand to his left.
‘Take a taste of your fist until you’re done.’
Clenched his right fist and kept it…
Bahahahahah!
“Quweuehehehe!”
Cheolpuduck. Thud!
“…… Huh?”
Siwoon’s eyes widened.
The man-eating squirrel, which had been fluttering like that just a while ago, is breaking its head weakly with its white foam spilled on the ground.
The black squirrel’s eyes flipped its pupils so that only the whites were visible.
It was a little futile.
‘Is he dead?’
[Your level has risen!]
[Your level has risen!]
[Your level has risen!]
[Your level has risen!]
[You have completed the quest ‘Monster in the Beginner Training Grounds’.]
[300,000 Gold will be paid as a reward for completing the quest ‘Monster in the Beginner Training Grounds’.]
[You have acquired 300,000 gold.]
[Because the level has exceeded 5, you will be forced to return to the village.]
-5… 4, 3, 2, 1!
Shaak!
“Heo-eok, hehehe! Omg! What, what?”
The instructor ran out of breath holding the battle ax and dropped the weapon to the ground in surprise.
Siwoon just spewed out a level up effect and then disappeared in an instant. In front of the instructor’s eyes, the sprawled carnivorous squirrel’s corpse lay all at once.
“He caught this?”
The sound of applause came from behind the instructor’s pale face.
It was a group of hunters watching this fierce battle.
“The man-eating squirrel is dead….”
“That low-level hunter just caught a man-eating squirrel without a weapon, right?”
“I got goosebumps too.”
“I wondered if I lost my mind when I saw him riding on the back and stabbing me with his fist, but he grabbed it….”
Everyone was surprised.
“It’s that hunter that just passed, the guy who got on the news after passing with a perfect score on the hunter qualification test.”
“Somehow, I felt familiar.”
Hearing the voice, the instructor walked straight to the group of hunters.
“What did you just say? Who makes the pass with full marks?”
The instructor asked with a sweaty face.
“That person. I passed this Hunter Qualification Test with a perfect score.”
“Did you say perfect score?”
“Yes, all the news and articles appeared… But the instructor didn’t know?”
The instructor froze with a spirited expression on his face.
Before long, her legs loosened and she sat down on the spot.
“hahahaha.”
I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
I have never heard of an anecdote about passing the Hunter Qualification Test with a perfect score anywhere in the world, including Korea.
It was a very difficult test for even a genius with a high IQ and excellent spirit to get a perfect score without getting a single question wrong.
‘I can’t believe it. I was so stuck here that I couldn’t even watch the news because I was only working. . To think he had just passed that difficult test with a perfect score……. Rather….’
The instructor turned his head and looked at one place.
The corpse of a man-eating squirrel, covered in blood and overturned on its stomach, comes into view.
“Should I report this to the association….”
