Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Fortunately, the confrontation between Hatieri and Cheong So-ha didn’t escalate into an actual fight.
Maybe they both didn’t really intend to fight, or perhaps my words had an effect… I don’t know, but what’s important is that they both stopped their aura clash.
“…My house…”
…Of course, even with just that aura clash, my unremarkable house was completely wrecked…
“…Ahem.”
“Hmm…”
It seemed that even S-rank superhumans have a conscience, as I felt their auras diminish a bit.
Of course, if I were to shout according to my inner thoughts, “Why are you making a fuss in my house! Pay for the damages!”, my neck would probably be snapped.
‘Sigh… Life really…’
I sighed deeply as I returned the table that had flown to the window and picked up the scattered cards.
This is why I didn’t want to associate with superhumans… Such superhumans are overwhelming for an ordinary person like me… Although the incoming money is quite nice…
“Ah… Um, I’ll help you.”
“It’s fine… Instead of organizing the cards, could you… clean up the wrecked house?”
Hmm… Somehow, it feels ominous if someone else touches the cards right now… Especially a customer…
“…Ahem, understood.”
“I-I’ll help too!”
For a brief moment, an untimely house cleaning occurred in a very uncomfortable and awkward silence.
‘Wow… It’s clean…?’
When these S-rank superhuman talents applied their power to house cleaning, the house suddenly became cleaner than before it was wrecked.
As expected of high-ranking superhumans… They’re incredibly versatile, aren’t they?
Anyway, after the house cleaning was done and I restored the table and cards to their original state, I first set the order.
“First, we’ll do the fortune telling for the customer who came first, and then receive the balance payment that Hatieri-nim brought… Does everyone understand…?”
“That’s fine. I have no objections.”
“Ugh… I guess there’s no choice…”
“Good. Then let’s do a fortune telling now.”
I clumsily shuffled the cards.
“Ah, but is it alright to do a fortune telling in front of another person?”
“It’s fine.”
“Hmm… Then what did you come to get a fortune telling for?”
“It’s embarrassing, but… Recently, I’ve been feeling a limit to my growth.”
“A limit… to your growth…?”
At my question, the customer quietly nodded, and Hatieri, who was sitting on the sofa behind watching this scene, narrowed her eyes.
All superhumans grow… but at the same time, there are limits.
The wall of rank is too solid, and even before that, the gap within the same rank is significant. After all, each superhuman has different limits.
Even S-rank can’t escape this limit. Only a very few geniuses can surpass their limits, playing with the enormous wall of rank as if it were nothing.
‘Hmm… You want to… surpass that limit?’
It was truly an interesting story. To think she’d try to surpass her limits through this fortune teller teacher…
Even if she surpasses her limits, it doesn’t mean surpassing S-rank. The limit of rank is not so easy to overcome. That’s something possible only after surpassing one’s limits several times. Cases of non-‘geniuses’ surpassing the limit of rank are extremely rare.
However… if she surpasses her limits on this occasion, she’ll certainly become incomparably stronger than before.
‘Kukuku… This is interesting?’
Hatieri, who had already surpassed her limits twice by her own power and could be considered a powerhouse even among S-ranks, quietly laughed, interested in this fortune telling.
Of course, regardless of her reaction, Dam Han-ul, who knew nothing about superhuman circumstances, let alone those of high-ranking superhumans, just shuffled the cards again with a “I see” attitude.
‘Hmm…’
Normally, I would ask the customer to draw, but…
‘I’m tired, it’s annoying…’
Now, just wanting both of them to leave quickly, I just shuffled and drew the cards myself.
I drew a total of three cards.
‘Surpassing limits, huh…’
After placing those three cards neatly on the table, I flipped over the card on the right.
The card that appeared was a trap card, “Dimensional Rift Occurrence!”.
The meaning is…
“A dungeon will appear in one week from now. The time of appearance will be around 2:17 PM… The dungeon rank is A. Monsters that handle ice or cold will appear… and the location of appearance is… let’s see… some kind of pond…”
Finding it a bit difficult to explain, I searched the internet for the location and cleanly informed her of where the dungeon would appear, then opened the second card…
“W-wait a moment, Teacher! No, where on earth do you see all this from these card game cards?”
“Huh? I just see it when I look…”
It takes 7 turns to eat one of the opponent’s cards, so one week, it’s quite a rare hologram-attached one so A-rank, dimensional rift occurrence so dungeon appearance, the face peeking out of the rift in the picture has an ice attribute so that’s what will appear… the rest I just see when I look at the card.
…Tsk, really, looking back on this fortune-telling business, it’s quite strange. Why on earth can I see this?
“…No matter how I look, it’s just an ordinary card…”
Hatieri, who was looking at the card with wide eyes from behind Cheong So-ha, unconsciously nodded in agreement with Cheong So-ha’s words.
“Hmm… I guess this is why you’re a skilled fortune teller. I’m sorry for taking your time. Then… could you continue?”
“Ah, yes…”
Anyway, I flipped over the second card.
The second card was also a trap card, “Heart of the Snow Mountain”.
“Hmm, there are two things you need to obtain in the dungeon. One is the heart of the dungeon boss monster, and the other is an ice crystal existing inside the highest snow mountain within the dungeon. The boss monster’s heart will come out if you kill it and cut open its chest… The ice crystal will appear if you just destroy the largest and highest mountain. It’s not that difficult for an S-rank superhuman, right?”
“I-I see…”
And finally, the third card.
The trap card “Giant’s Dinner”.
“Once you’ve obtained those two things, after escaping the dungeon, eat both of them together in a safe place in the evening. You must eat the two things together in a safe place in the evening after escaping that dungeon. Do you understand?”
“…I’ll keep that in mind.”
Well, it’s not like you’ll die if you don’t follow it… but you won’t be able to surpass that limit.
“Then… is the fortune telling over now?”
“Yes. It’s all done, customer.”
“I see… Then I’ll give you the advance payment first.”
She briefly touched the air and then took out an envelope and gave it to me.
“The advance payment is 100 million won. The rest… I’ll come back and give you after I’ve surpassed the wall.”
“…Pardon? How much did you say?”
100 million?? 100 million for one fortune telling???
No, I just earned an amount similar to what I’ve collected from dozens of fortune tellings at once?? And that’s just the advance payment??
“…Kuk, twice the amount of money I gave back then…!”
Ah, right. I received an envelope and a ring as advance payment from Hatieri back then, didn’t I?
I’ve been wearing the ring because it looks stylish… but I hadn’t opened the envelope with the money, so that was 50 million won…
“Huhu… The reward I’ll give you after surpassing the wall will be incomparable to this. You can look forward to it.”
“No… This is enough…”
No, really, this is enough… Please don’t come back… I’m uncomfortable…!
“You’re so modest… Well then, I’ll take my leave first, Teacher.”
Not understanding my true feelings, Cheong So-ha smiled and disappeared.
…She really disappeared with a whoosh. How did she do that?
“Oh, good good. Finally, it’s my turn?”
Ah right. There was still one mountain left to climb, wasn’t there?
“You seem to be wearing the ring I gave you well? I’m very pleased! Here! This is cash first! It contains 200 million!”
My goodness, I just received 100 million, and now 200 million…?
It feels like reality is disappearing… Is this perhaps a dream?
And first? Is there more to give?
“Don’t think the amount is small, okay? That’s just a side dish! This is the real deal!”
While I was thinking about what could be more amazing than 200 million, Hatieri gave me a silver bracelet engraved with a unique wolf pattern and a mobile phone.
“This bracelet is proof that you’re an executive of my organization, Bargr Fang, and this is a phone that can contact me directly! How about it? Isn’t it killer?”
It was not just killer, it made me want to go crazy and jump around.
No…! I just want to live normally! I don’t need things like this!!
…But I didn’t have the courage to boldly shout that to the superhuman in front of me, so I could only quietly sigh and accept the balance payment.
“With just this, you’ll receive good treatment wherever you go in the underworld…… If you contact me, I’ll handle two requests without charge……”
While I was inwardly sighing deeply, trying to get through Hatieri’s proud explanation without her noticing, Hatieri suddenly seemed to remember something and grabbed my hand, saying,
“Ah, right. I didn’t explain about this ring, did I? This is quite a high-performance defensive artifact. It can easily defend against attacks up to B-rank level and even counterattack! However, be careful as it doesn’t react to attacks above that level.”
Oh… A defensive artifact! And a high-quality one at that! This was good.

In such a dangerous world, wouldn’t having something like this make me a bit safer?
As I was fiddling with the ring in wonder, Hatieri smiled and stood up.
“Hey, Teacher! Then I’ll be going now! Keep in touch often! I’ll come again when I have time, so wait for me, okay?”
“…You don’t have to come…”
Please don’t come…
“Kyakyakya! You’re so shy! I’m off!”
As expected, Hatieri left without even listening to my words, and I sighed deeply with relief.
“Haah… This is really tough…”
It’s fortunate that I at least earned money… but it’s really tough, so tough…
I organized the cards and the things I had earned, and then collapsed weakly onto the living room floor.
I didn’t want to get entangled again… but it was sad that I felt like I would get entangled again.
“…Sigh, I should just sleep…”
I was quite mentally tired, so I just fell into a nap right there…
“Meow~ I smell money…?”
…There was a gaze observing Dam Han-ul’s house.
