I Lost My Memory and Had Too Many S-Class Girlfriends

5 – Too many S-class girlfriends (6)

006.

“What did you and Seoyoon talk about?”

“Huh? No nothing? It’s just that Hunter Choi Seo-yoon suddenly greeted me, so I was a little flustered.”

Before she lost her memory, I never dreamed that I would become an acquaintance with Hunter Choi Seo-yoon.

“Ah. Right. All of your memories of Seoyoon must have disappeared.”

“By the way, how did I know Choi Seo-yoon?”

Me and Lee Ji-hyun used the gate.

I walked into a spider’s nest, one of the novice hunting grounds.

As a place where level 1 spiders appear, it was a very suitable hunting ground for me now.

“I introduced you the other day. So, to what extent must the face be open?”

“Really?”

Ilsung Group’s eldest daughter’s network…….

“What is that expression?”

“Huh?”

“Are you interested in Seoyoon?”

“Not at all.”

I quickly shook my head and recited a negative meaning.

However, Lee Ji-hyeon only threw down ARMY with his arms crossed.

“Don’t talk to Seoyoon for nothing. Understand?”

“How do you see me?”

It was absurd.

Are you going to tell Choi Seo-yoon that I’m crazy?

“Of course, even if you are interested, Seoyoon will take care of it.”

“Of course not. In the first place, should I go after the eldest daughter of Ilsung Group?”

Park Gyu-seong is also terrified of not winning Choi Seo-yoon’s heart, but what a guy like me…….

“I don’t mean that.”

“Huh?”

Lee Ji-hyun shook his head.

“There is no way that Seoyoon is going out with a man in the first place.”

“What do you mean?”

I blinked my eyes.

I couldn’t understand Lee Ji-hyun’s words.

“You can’t date a man? Well, the fact that Hunter Choi Seo-yoon was indifferent to that was famous from long ago…… No way?”

“Look at him? What are you talking about really?”

“No, maybe you are more interested in the same s*x than the opposite s*x?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. Because it’s not like that. It’s just Seoyoon’s ability…… No, nothing.”

Lee Ji-hyun suddenly closed her lips.

“What is it? I’m more curious about it because I cut it in the middle.”

“Never mind. Because it’s a secret.”

…… Okay? If so. What do you pay attention to? Because it has nothing to do with me anyway.

“Jihyun-ah. By the way, Hunter Choi Seoyoon said he has an appointment with me? What was it He said he would treat me as a reward for helping me last time…… Do you know anything about it?”

“Ah. That?”

Lee Ji-hyun smiled and nodded his head.

“No big deal. The other day I recommended you as a porter, so I did a little round and round. Maybe that’s why.”

“Ah. Porter.”

…… Then it is.

There’s no way I could have helped Choi Seo-yoon, an S-rank hunter, right? f*ck.

“I think the appointment date was today. Ah. That’s right. Right today My appointment is at 6 o’clock, so I have to be back before then.”

“Oh, is that so?”

I was puzzled that he would treat me to dinner just because I was a porter, but since he was Lee Ji-hyeon’s friend, I could understand why he treated me to some extent.

“By the way, Jihyun-ah. Are you okay with your boyfriend going out to dinner with another girl?”

“Ha.”

Lee Ji-hyun immediately snorted.

“Are you really interested in Seoyoon?”

“Just kidding, kidding.”

Jihyun tut and clicked her tongue.

“Stop talking stupid. Seriously. I’m dating you because you’re like me. Seo Joon-ah. Okay?”

Lee Ji-hyun said mischievously.

I looked at her face for a while and then blurted out a word.

“I heard you confessed?”

“… ….”

“Then I’m not going out with you?”

“… ….”

I tried to say a word as a joke, but Lee Ji-hyun bit her lips tightly.

…… Uh? Aren’t you angry?

Isn’t it okay to joke like this?

“Poetry, noisy. Hey Seojun Han. When you meet Seoyoon later, don’t act rudely. Okay?”

“Huh? Huh.”

Lee Ji-hyun shouted with her cheeks slightly flushed.

She turned around.

“Don’t even think that Seoyoon is pretty and think she’s weird!”

“Okay.”

“Everything you think is revealed in her face.”

“…… That’s not it.”

“Anyway! She plays moderately with Seoyoon and comes home by 10.”

“What is it? Are you managing your boyfriend’s curfew right now?”

I looked at Lee Ji-hyun with a small smile and Lee Ji-hyun clicked her tongue and adjusted her sunglasses.

“Don’t talk nonsense, come back by 10 o’clock, fool. I’ll be going to your house by then.”

“Huh? Why?”

“You promised to eat chicken and beer while watching a movie together at 10 o’clock tonight in the living room. Why. Seoyoon’s promise is important, and mine is not?”

“No, no.”

She shook her head hastily.

Chicken and beer at home with Jihyun Lee at 10pm?

It’s nice to think of the old days after a long time.

“Then, shall we go around the gate quickly? I know it’s an honor. I can count the number of Hunters I have personally guided.”

“Yes. Thanks to our Jihyun, I can enjoy all these luxuries.”

“Huh. What is he saying now.”

I felt that a lot of my awkward feelings toward Jihyun disappeared before I knew it. She became Ji-hyeon, she became a hunter, and she became very unfamiliar. Even though she had been away for a long time, Lee Ji-hyun was Lee Ji-hyun.

Jihyun and I walked away chatting unkindly.

Even in the past, time was spent talking about trivial things like this.

It reminded me of those days when I was younger.

We went deep into the first floor.

I didn’t usually go to such a deep place.

Because it is dangerous.

But the person accompanying me is an S-class hunter.

With Lee Ji-hyun, it is never dangerous.

“First of all, before guiding you, I will explain the basic awakening ability. Well, I know, but wouldn’t it be bad to organize it once?”

How long did it take?

Lee Ji-hyun, who had moved to a place he had never seen before, suddenly stopped and started talking to me. I quietly listened to her. Every word Lee Ji-hyeon said was like bone and flesh to me.

“You haven’t awakened your abilities yet, but if you continue working as a hunter, you might be able to awaken your abilities. So, in preparation for that time, I will tell you a few things to ask in advance.”

“Jihyun-ah, wait.”

“Why is that?”

I couldn’t help but feel suspicious about Lee Ji-hyun’s words.

Just now, Lee Ji-hyeon obviously didn’t awaken her ability to me, she said.

But I am an Awakener.

The ability has already been awakened before.

The potential rating was also measured quite high.

However, when I put it off as Lee Ji-hyun did not know, it seemed that I, before losing her memory, hid the fact that her ability had awakened from Lee Ji-hyun.

…… Well, that feeling is understandable.

Because the ability I awakened was really useless.

What do you do when your potential and ability rank are high?

A really useless ability.

The effect of my ability is simple.

It is to reduce the power of other Awoken.

To sum it up in one word, it is a debuff ability.

Of course, the ability to weaken ability can be used in many ways.

For example, it would be a pretty useful power for a chaser who specializes in tracking abilities.

Other methods may come to mind when thinking about how to use it.

But it’s useless to me.

My goal is to defeat the monster and capture the tower.

There is no need for a skill that debuffs the power of the powerful, not the power of the monster.

To compare my current situation to a game, it is no different than giving PVP skills to someone who wants PVE.

It was a situation where I could only sigh.

“Jihyun-ah.”

“Huh? Why.”

“Do I have any skills?”

“What?”

Lee Ji-hyun frowned.

“Have the ability? There’s no way you’ll wake up overnight. You had the ability, but did you keep it a secret from me?”

I spit out a little lie towards her who was chanting a little offended.

“No. I woke up after losing my memory. I felt awakened when I woke up in the hospital.”

“Really?”

“It happens sometimes. Awakening one’s abilities after receiving a great shock. Maybe that’s the case.”

“Right. It happens sometimes.”

Lee Ji-hyun nodded at my explanation and showed an attitude of acceptance.

“What. Good. There’s no way you deliberately cheated on your abilities.

I’m sorry, but I think I lied on purpose.

“Anyway, what ability is it? What’s the rank like?”

“Ah. Rank is B+…….”

“Oh. What. Seojun is you. It’s high B rank. Anything like this would be useful?”

Lee Ji-hyun was delighted with his work.

She didn’t want to cast a dark cloud over her bright face.

But I couldn’t lie, so I slowly opened my mouth with my face blurred.

“But the ability is really not that great.”

“Huh? What is it Stop lingering and talk.”

“Don’t be disappointed. Actually my ability…… That, it’s a debuff type.”

“Debuff? Which is not bad Debuff type supporters are pretty rare. It’s a B+ rank from the start, so I think it’s pretty good, right?”

If it didn’t have a fatal flaw, it would have been a decent ability.

“My ability is only available to people. Monsters don’t work.”

“Huh?”

“In addition, it is an ability that can only be activated by touching it. In fact, the practicality is very low.”

“… ….”

Lee Ji-hyun raised his head.

I hesitantly lowered my voice.

Lee Ji-hyun stares at me for a while and then suddenly smiles.

“What is it? Seojun is you. Was that what kept you off?”

“Huh? Yes.”

“You are too.”

She raised her voice as if it were nothing.

“Seo Jun-ah. I won’t be too disappointed even if I awaken my bad abilities.”

“Why?”

“Well, abilities can develop depending on how you train them and how you use them.”

Development and change of abilities.

This is a theory I know.

“Take me as an example…… Seojun, you. Do you know what my ability is?”

“Of course not. You’re famous.”

S-class hunter Lee Ji-hyun’s ability is very simple.

It is the telekinesis-type ability.

The power to manipulate things.

That is Lee Ji-hyun’s ability to awaken.

“Yes. It’s a telekinesis-type ability. It is a simple but very useful power.”

I agree with Jihyun Lee.

The telekinesis-type ability was one of the fairly common abilities, but as a joke, it could be said to be an ability close to omnipotence.

“But when I first manifested my abilities, I could only control inorganic objects.”

Lee Ji-hyeon took out one of his pistols from his waistband.

It was an automatic pistol painted black.

Was the model name Beretta?

I’ve seen it on TV.

“That’s why I chose to attack the monster by using surrounding objects rather than attacking it directly.”

Jihyun Lee threw his pistol into the air.

The pistol whirled around in the air before it started to fall to the ground with a whoosh.

However, it did not happen to fall to the ground.

Because at some point the pistol was floating around in the air.

Jihyun Lee stretched out his index finger and spun his pistol around like a basketball.

The pistol was dancing on the index finger, ignoring gravity.

“Firearms are not a good choice for dealing with monsters.”

“Uh, yes. Yes.”

“Then why did I decide to use a firearm?”

“Okay.”

Lee Ji-hyeon’s ability to manipulate inorganic matter has a wide range of applications.

He was able to intercept from a distance using hunter-specific equipment made using monster teeth, claws, exoskeleton, etc., Rather than firearms, or to float and insert scrap metal that was scattered around.

But Lee Ji-hyun insisted on using firearms.

That’s why.

“It’s to train you to control your psychokinesis.”

The control of the telekinesis ability…….

“In the past, the power was so strong that it was difficult to control. When I lifted a glass, the glass shattered, and when I lifted a can, with just a little force, it crumbled like mashed potatoes. But now…….”

As soon as he finished his words, monsters began to gather around him.

It was a small group of level 1 spiders.

A small assault soldier, he was famous for using his eight legs to quickly approach and tear humans to pieces.

However, it was one of the weakest monsters that could be defeated as long as you calmly responded because its skin was thin and it could only use melee attacks.

I was also able to deal with it without difficulty if I put in some effort.

…… Of course, only one or two.

If five or more attacked, you had to run away.

“This kind of control is possible through training.”

A dozen or so spiders rushing at high speed.

But Lee Ji-hyeon, with a face that didn’t care, jerked his pistol toward the dusk.

His pistol whirled round and round and flew as close as dusk, then stopped halfway through the air.

“Just like this.”

Bang, bang!

Using telekinesis, I pulled the trigger on my pistol and began to intercept the spiders.

The spiders couldn’t even reach Lee Ji-hyeon’s vicinity and became a beehive and lay down on the dirty dirt floor.

Lee Ji-hyeon stared at the spiders for a while, then used telekinesis to replace his magazine.

“Do you know how difficult it is to launch a telekinetic pistol and hit a moving monster?”

“Uh…… Hmm? Well, it sounds like it would be very difficult.”

“Right. It’s very difficult. Telekinetically launch the pistol, aim the monster, pull the trigger, control the recoil…… It’s a job that requires a lot of concentration and careful control.”

“It certainly seems so. It’s not easy for ordinary people to hit moving objects even if they shoot with both hands. Not to mention, you can handle multiple guns at once.”

I have seen Lee Ji-hyun’s monster hunting videos several times on the Internet.

Without much difficulty, she launched a pistol, shotgun, assault rifle, etc. And successfully intercepted the monster.

It was an amazing sight.

“Using firearms to control telekinesis is a pretty effective training method. You can control your telekinesis far more effectively than just mindlessly knocking things into it.”

“I see.”

“Since I entered the academy, I started using firearms with the intention of carefully controlling my telekinesis, and now… ….”

Bang! Bang bang!

At that moment, the pistol floating in the air spewed sparks.

To my surprise, the pistol’s bullet curved and pierced the head of a spider hiding behind a rock.

“…… It has become possible to apply in this way.”

“Oh.”

Curved shooting.

Seeing it in person is even more amazing.

“It can also increase bullet rotation and destructive power.”

I turned my head and stared at the corpse of the spider in the distance.

The bullet went right through the spider’s head and dug deep into the rock beyond.

The rock was cracked in the shape of a spider web. It was like being hit by an iron-piercing bullet. It was not powerful enough to come out of a small pistol bullet.

“Depending on how you train and develop your abilities, abilities can develop in many different ways. Didn’t I say at the beginning that only inorganic objects can be controlled?”

“Yes.”

“But since I kept using my abilities and training… ….”

Thump! Thud! Thud!

A loud vibration sounded in my ears.

A large spider appeared in the distance.

That black exoskeleton with a sturdy outer shell was a black armored hunting spider that was treated as a name on the first floor.

As hard as steel and heavy as a tank, it was very difficult to inflict fatal wounds, so many new hunters had no choice but to run away when faced with a blackclad hunting spider.

It was a level 3 monster that I could never catch with my current skills. It could be said that it was a giant spider that reigned like a king in a beginner hunting ground.

Once upon a time when I was hunting ground spiders on the first floor with new hunters, I ran into them once, and the memory of running away with the soles of my feet on fire came into my mind.

I was really scared at the time.

But now…….

“…… Organisms are also controllable.”

Lee Ji-hyun glanced at the black spider.

Then the sound of flesh being crushed resounded.

Kwajik! Pudeuk! Pop!

I cleared my bewilderment and turned my gaze to the source of the destructive sound, only to find the corpse of a spider, terribly crushed and disfigured beyond recognition, lying on the dirt floor.

The blackclad hunting spider struggled to stretch its front legs, regurgitating bright yellow blood.

But that’s just for a moment, as if his life was over, he suddenly dropped his front legs and fell silent.

That powerful black-clad hunting spider met its death with one glance from Lee Ji-hyeon.

One-sidedly without any resistance.

I swallowed dry saliva.

“Go further…… “

Maybe it was because of the loud destructive sound?

Several of the spiders have begun to appear again.

Most of them were common spiders, but one of them was the other.

It was a level 2 poisonous spider.

As the name suggests, it was a long-distance butcher who used poisonous needles to hunt prey.

The stinger spider’s snout protrudes, and from there it fires poisonous spikes. If you get hit in a defenseless state, you can die within a few tens of minutes with difficulty breathing.

“Like this.”

The stinger spider poured out its stinger.

A pointed poisonous thorn surged toward Lee Ji-hyeon.

However, Lee Ji-hyun did not blink an eye and calmly looked at the direction the poison needle was flying.

“It can be applied.”

When the poison needle reached close range, he hesitated and stopped.

Dozens of poison needles were fixed right in front of my nose as if nailed.

I glanced over the stinger with startled eyes.

It wasn’t just the sting that stopped.

Dozens of spiders were all immobilized and held by an intangible force.

“I wanted to say that abilities can develop in many forms depending on training and development.”

Lee Ji-hyun snapped her fingers.

Then the heads of the spiders pop! Pop! Pop! As it exploded, dirty bright yellow blood gushed into the air.

The spiders had no choice but to face death without any resistance.

“As I said before, even if you have awakened a bad ability, if you train hard, there are many cases where it develops into a pretty useful ability, so don’t be too disappointed.”

“Uh, yes.”

“Of course, there are differences depending on individual differences in potential. It’s important to keep trying and not give up.”

“Yes. I see.”

“Didn’t Seojun say that your ability is a debuff that only works on people? If you keep trying, don’t you know? Will the debuff work on monsters? Or it could develop into another form. Because the ability itself looks pretty good.”

“I hope so.”

I thought while gently scratching the back of my neck.

I put a lot of effort into developing debuff abilities in the past.

I have been developing and training in various fields.

However, there was no significant result.

It was only possible because Lee Ji-hyun was able to be rewarded for working hard.

If I want to develop my abilities, it is not enough with effort alone.

I feel like I need to take an expensive elixir.

“Ah. And out of the 10, there are 3 incompetent people. If you don’t like your abilities at all, it’s not bad to just go for martial arts or magic. Come to think of it, Seojun is you. Didn’t he focus on swordsmanship and marksmanship at the academy?”

“Well, that’s right. First of all, swordsmanship and marksmanship are the easiest.”

“Really? Anyway, for now, I’ll explain the monster’s weakness and how to attack it at your eye level. Most of your memories of being a Hunter are gone, right? Don’t worry about anything though. I’m quite good at tutoring at an accelerated rate.”

I nodded slowly.

It was a great fortune to be able to get help from Lee Ji-hyun, the best hunter, in a situation where he lost his memory.

***

“Oh, I’m tired… ….”

After finishing the gate rounding with Lee Ji-hyun, he returned home.

It was more difficult than I thought, but Lee Ji-hyun did his best to help me, and I got a lot of useful information and experience to use in the real world.

To be honest, it was a pretty good time.

“Huh…… Ah. What time was it…… ?”

I glanced at the living room clock and realized it was 5:20.

Since the time Choi Seo-yoon promised to buy me dinner was 6 o’clock, I had to take a quick shower and get ready to go out.

Because my body was throbbing here and there, I just wanted to ignore the promise, but I wasn’t strong enough to hit the S-rank hunter and the eldest daughter of Ilsung Group, so I walked towards the shower.

“I said he would come pick me up if I waited at home. Wouldn’t it be better to leave the house beforehand?”

I just finished taking a shower.

I checked the time after changing into my street clothes.

5:50.

The appointment time is running out.

I felt like I had to go out soon.

– Ding-dong.

Just then.

The doorbell rang.

“Is Han Seo-joon here?”

I heard a strange female voice.

No wait.

What? Are you Seojun Han?

“Are you ready?”

It was only for a moment that I was confused.

I hurriedly opened the door.

By the way.

“It’s been a while. Seojun Han.”

“Oh, yes.”

A woman in her mid-twenties in a clean suit greeted me politely.

I wanted someone, but I quickly realized her identity.

It was Cha So-yeon, an A-rank hunter.

“Hello. Mr. Seojun.”

Behind Cha So-yeon’s back.

A graceful voice softly reached my ear. His voice sounded cold at first glance, but there was a hint of softness in his voice.

In front of my eyes, I saw a woman with her head raised in a modest posture.

“If you are ready, shall we go?”

Choi Seo-yoon greeted me with her eyes slightly bent, like a young woman looking forward to her date.
