I Have Awakened but Mosquitoes Are My Enemies chapter 26
“You are dead!”
A sigh of relief flowed from the mouths of those who watched for a moment.
Then, when Kim Han-seong pulled out the terrifying vampire corpse with fangs protruding from the goat’s head, all of them trembled.
“It almost matches what eyewitnesses said!”
“eww! It looks really terrifying.”
“Damn it! I finally caught that raging bastard!”
“I thought I was going to die because I couldn’t sleep for days because of him!”
The police were uncomfortable with the vampire, but the hunters responded calmly.
They fight monsters worse than me inside the gate on a daily basis, so it’s only natural that there’s no reason to be surprised.
“for a moment! Does that look like a second-star vampire?”
“How on earth did something like that get out of the gate?”
“You have to thoroughly figure out which gate you came out of!”
“But Junyoung Kang! Could it be that you caught him alone?”
For Hunters, this is of interest.
For them, it was hard to believe that Jun-young, a mere F-class hunter, had single-handedly defeated a two-star vampire.
“I was injured when I found the vampire. Thanks to that, I got through it without difficulty.”
“I heard you’re an F-class hunter, aren’t you?”
“That’s F-level.”
“I can’t believe it. No matter how injured you are, it’s nothing short of a miracle that an F-class single-handedly slayed a 2-star vampire.”
Faces you can’t believe.
Certainly, Junyoung is said to be an F-ranker and is secretly looking down.
Of course, he doesn’t just go out like Dojin Lee.
Everyone keeps the minimum courtesy.
Still, in the world of hunters, it seems that it is an unavoidable phenomenon that attribute grades are being ranked.
“Rather than that, Junyoung Kang, how did you know this guy was here?”
This is Kim Han-seong.
When Junyoung looked up, he nodded slightly and introduced himself.
“I came from the National Guard. We need to make an accurate report on today’s situation, so please cooperate.”
“I went into the bathroom because I was in a hurry, but I heard a strange sound from here, and when I came back, I found that guy lying down covered in blood. When he saw me, he attacked me and killed me.”
“Is there anything else nearby?”
“yes.”
After much thought, I decided not to mention the female vampire.
I can’t quite jump to conclusions yet.
Looking at her actions so far, it doesn’t seem like she’s a bad person at all.
‘It’s a vampire, but it doesn’t suck human blood. Instead, it’s a kind being who catches evil vampires.’
However, the National Guard couldn’t think that way.
Even if Junyoung reports that she is a good person, it is likely to be of no use.
The National Guard will mobilize even S-class hunters to kill her unconditionally.
For the reason that she has the potential to become a top 7 catastrophic monster.
‘He gave me a present, but I can’t make it difficult.’
I can’t give you a gift in return.
Let’s not throw bombs.
Because you can’t repay kindness with enemies.

Ugh.
Smartphone text vibrates while returning home after handing over the vampire corpse to the hunters of the National Guard.
[Web transmission]
Electronic financial deposit
7:00
KRW 800,000
Balance 2,325,543 won
KO bank
When I checked, it was a notification that the money had been received.
‘what? Could it be that I already received the reward for killing the vampire today?’
That’s not it.
Afterwards, looking at the text messages, it was a reward for helping to get rid of the three-star brain blood clot by entering the gate of the Children’s Grand Park yesterday.
The amount of 800,000 won was deposited exactly as it was originally contracted.
‘One deposit is really like a knife.’
It is said that it is because of the Hunter special law, but it is very desirable.
Just watching the balance build up in my account makes me full.
Of course, the core of yesterday’s gate mission income is magic crystals.
If Park Yoo-ra disposes of the 3-star magic stone, at least 10 million won will be added to Jun-young’s account.
It’s not unreasonable to say that extra income is more important at the gate.
‘Anyway, people have to have thick pockets.’
In fact, even if something unpleasant happens, a text message saying that the money has come in will make you feel better.
However, since Junyoung has even reached the level, the whistle comes out naturally.
Seeing this, you would call it a double slope.
‘Then the reward for dealing with the vampire today will come sooner or later. How long will it be?’
It’s a pleasant day.
* * *
Returning home, Junyoung spent the whole day browsing the Internet.
I want to know the identity of the female vampire I met at dawn.
I went to the Korean Hunter Association website as well as the American Hunter Association website, which is said to have the most extensive data.
I searched through all the posts related to vampires like that.
‘There’s no mention of a vampire like that anywhere.’
Looking around, it seems that vampires who sneak out of the gate and suck people’s blood often appear.
To be honest, there are even hunters in the United States who specialize in hunting only vampires who are out and active.
However, there has never been a reported case of a good vampire who does not suck human blood, but rather fights vampires who suck human blood.
‘I don’t know the identity of that woman at all.’
Anyway, thanks to you, I gained quite a lot of knowledge.
Of course, the identity of the female vampire is still unknown, but I have learned quite a bit about the various vampires and vampire monsters that appear at the gate.
Geeying!
Then the smartphone vibrates.
‘Kwak Sang-woo?’
The sender is Kwak Sang-woo, manager of the Hunter Management Division, Gwangjin-gu Office.
“yes. This is Kang Joon-young.”
– Ha ha, hello, Mr. Kang Joon-young! This is Kwak Sang-woo, the manager of the Hunter management department.
A voice that sounds pleasant.
“yes! hello.
– Sorry for the late night. Are you available?
“yes. What are you doing?”
– Actually, I was reported earlier. He found a serial killer vampire in the men’s bathroom in Ttukseomwon area and treated him as a single person.
“It is, but.”
– How did you know? Of course, I’m managing the district patrol hunter team. Even otherwise, the vampire gave me a headache, but thanks to Kang Jun-young, one headache has disappeared. thank you.
“you’re welcome. I just went to the bathroom and I saw him and I was just lucky to get rid of it.”
– It’s not luck, it’s skill. Isn’t it Kang Jun-yeong who has already fought against 2-star vampires and 3-star cerebral bloodsuckers? Then I would have been able to deal with a 2-star vampire.
Kwak Sang-woo said with confidence because he had seen the CCTV footage of Jun-young fighting a two-star vampire.
-So, I reported it to the top of the gundo today and it was reflected in Kang Jun-young’s rating re-examination. The response from the top is also very positive.
“is it so? Have you got a reexamination date?”
-yes! If not, that’s why I called. Are you okay at two o’clock tomorrow afternoon?
“So fast?”
-hahahaha, you cooperated with us, but we have to do this much.
They said it would take a few days, but in just two days!?
After all, it was a good thing to have accepted Kwak Sang-woo’s request.
Being friendly with the public official in charge made everything go smoothly.
-If you don’t mind, please come to the Ward Office Hunter Management Division by 2:00 PM tomorrow.
“All right. see you tommorow.”
Junyoung pressed the end of the call on his smartphone and his heart jumped.
‘It’s finally tomorrow.’
Even though they have characteristics, they were treated as non-characteristic awakeners because they were not measured by the device.
But now it’s being re-evaluated.
What grade is it?
B grade? Class C? Or maybe A grade?
Of course, it could be D-class or E-class.
Tonight, I feel like I can’t sleep because my heart is pounding.
* * *
“A few days ago, a number of missing people, including Class A Hunter Han Yeong-ho, occurred while exploring the disaster level 5 gate that appeared near Dumulmeori in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi-do. The National Security Agency has dispatched a search party hunter team, but it is struggling due to various dangerous bloodsuckers infesting the gate.”
“Sooner or later, it is time for lotus flowers to bloom, and this is depressing news for those who have been to Dumulmeori in Yangpyeong every year to see lotus flowers. Due to the newly emerging catastrophic level 5 gate, the National Guard authorities have issued a level 1 alert and all tourism is prohibited.”
Junyoung woke up to the sound of the TV coming from the living room.
I really wondered if that would be the case, but in fact, he turned on the game to calm his beating heart all night, and eventually fell asleep after dawn.
The time now is 10 am.
Looking at the wake-up time, it feels like going back to the days of unemployed before awakening.
‘Yesterday I woke up at 3 am, but today it is 10 am. Wake up time is messed up.’
Still, it’s a pleasant late sleep.
Today is the day of the grade review.
There are still four hours left until 2:00 PM, so you can wash up, eat breakfast and lunch, prepare slowly, and leave.
‘On a day like this, a suit would be fine.’
Today is not the day to go to work for the gate mission, it is the day to re-evaluate the grade.
If possible, I would go with clothes that look more neat and tidy.
“A serial killer vampire was removed by Kang Jun-yeong, an F-class hunter, in the bathroom of Ttukseomwonji Station on Seoul Subway Line 7 yesterday morning…”
“With this, the recent vampire incident that terrified the streets of Seoul at night has fortunately ended, but in the future, if possible, it is better to refrain from taking walks in deserted places at night or early morning.”
“But I can’t believe that the F-class hunter, the lowest among the hunters, eliminated that scary vampire. Moreover, the vampire removed this time is said to be a whopping 2-star. Could this be possible? Let’s listen to the opinion of Kwak Hye-na, an A-rank hunter who appeared on the panel today.”
“For an F-class hunter to face a 2-star vampire is tantamount to suicide. It is impossible.”
“If it is impossible, how on earth did Kang Joon-young manage to do it?”
“I know that in the case of Kang Joon-young, there was an error in the rating evaluation. If it is re-examined, there is a high possibility that it will be at least grade B.”
“Oh, I see. It’s a pity that there was an error in the ratings. Does this actually happen often?”
“It is a very rare case. So, I plan to watch with interest in the results of Kang Jun-yeong’s re-evaluation.”
“okay. I heard that the grade review will be held today?”
“yes. I know that too.”
“Then we will watch the results with interest.”
What do you mean?
I thought I didn’t hear it well at first, but it wasn’t.
It’s no wonder that Kwak Hye-na, an A-class hunter with celebrity-level beauty, appeared on TV quite often.
‘Why is my name suddenly appearing on TV?’
Jun-yeong, who was trying to stretch and prepare for the day, suddenly jumped into the living room in surprise, as if she had been hit by a shower of cold water.
nice day (2)
‘after!’
Fortunately, no one is in the living room.
Only the TV is on.
‘My mother has also left.’
The father and younger brother Jun-seok had already left for work, and Eun-ah, the younger sister, seemed to have gone to her room while watching TV, as she could feel her presence in the room.
‘Good. Let’s change the channel in this gap.’
pat-
Junyoung quickly changed the TV channel to another place.
‘My family shouldn’t know that I’m fighting vampires.’
I was told that only mana mosquito nets were put at the gate entrance in case my family would worry.
I never imagined that what happened yesterday morning would be on the news.
In addition, even Kwak Hye-na appeared and said that Jun-yeong’s re-examination was something, and that her name would be known nationwide.
‘Even if I do, it won’t appear on the news again.’
There are numerous things in Korea that are more important than an F-class hunter being re-examined.
Even just finding the missing hunters at the 5th grade Yangpyeong Dumulmeori gate right now should be considered a hundred times higher than the re-examination issue of one F-class hunter in terms of importance.
Junyoung was somewhat relieved when he saw a program on the TV screen introducing mountains in Korea and showing hikers wandering around.
“Eldest brother, did you really catch a vampire? You say that’s a two-star vampire? Did you really catch it alone?”
But then, hearing what Eun-ah said as she came out of the room, a mental breakdown came.
“Did you already know?”
“How do you not know? It was flooded with Internet articles in the morning. Mom and Dad saw it too.”
“Is that so?”
“And you said you were re-examing today? I want you to be promoted.”
Then, Eun-ah holds out something.
It is a candy with the words [Pray for success] written on it.
“What kind of sh*t is that?”
“My dad told me to give it to my eldest brother when he wakes up. I hurriedly went to a nearby convenience store to buy it, so that’s all there is to it. He regretted it, saying that if it wasn’t for going to work, he would have bought something better.”
[Pray for success]…
It’s not like I’m going to take a college exam.
But for some reason, my heart is touched.
“And the requirement is what my mother told me to give.”
A glutinous rice cake set with the words [unconditional acceptance] written on it.
But next to it [stuck! stick! A set of magnets with the words “Stick!” written on them are also visible.
“The magnet is the lucky chocolate that my little brother gives me.”
“This is what it is…”
While Junyoung was sleeping this morning, it seems that the family hurriedly prepared their respective gifts.
I didn’t even know that and tried to change the TV channel.
“Older brother!”
“huh?”
“I know that my eldest brother deliberately hides the Hunter business so as not to worry the family. They say they make money comfortably by selling only mana and mosquito nets, but that’s not the case either.”
“how did you know?”
“If you search the Internet a little, you can find out everything. It’s strange not knowing.”
“Do you know mom and dad too?”
“uh. Actually, my dad told me first. One of my dad’s friend’s sons has a Hunter.”
“Wait, didn’t you say that your friend’s son is a web novel writer?”
“Your dad only has one friend? Among my dad’s friends, the Jayang-dong uncle’s son is a web novel writer, and the Uijeongbu uncle’s son is a hunter. He said he was a C-class hunter.”
“I see.”
“That’s not all. Among my mom’s alumni, there were hunters among her sons and daughters. My little brother has a hunter among his friend’s friends. honestly me too Do you know your eldest brother? My friend Somin.”
“uh. he knows you’re my high school friend You came to play at home a few times.”
“Somin is also a hunter. We met yesterday and ate together.”
“Is it?”
Joon-young lowered his head.
Come to think of it, except for him, everyone in the family had a network of hunters across a bridge or two.
“I was a fool for trying to hide it.”
“Hi-Hi! Everyone knew except my older brother.”
“That’s it.”
“To be honest, my mom and dad must have been very worried. My eldest brother wanted to tell me to stop doing dangerous things, but he said it would be better to leave it to him to make his own decisions. Because my eldest brother has already become a hunter, he has to live a different life than normal people. Whatever choice you make, we will accept and respect you. If you’re worried, you’re worried. People can’t live without worrying. Everyone in the world lives like that.”
yes.
I can’t live without worrying.
Still, I wanted to live without worrying about it anymore.
