I Was Possessed in a Hunter Story Where the Protagonist Eats Everything by Himself

117. Awakening Hunter Academy S-Class Hunter

“How many S-rank hunters are in your clan?”

A woman frowning as if she couldn’t understand the intention of my question.

“There are no S-rank hunters, but there are twelve A-rank hunters…”

She said, interrupting her answer.

“Then why do you think you came all the way to this place and tried to recruit me?”

“That’s…”

It’s obvious. It’s because they want to bribe me from behind the scenes because I’m superior to an S-rank hunter.

Maintaining such a high-handed attitude may have had its own calculations.

‘The idea was to use a hard-line policy rather than a conciliatory policy, expecting that other clans had already made contact.’

They thought he was an inexperienced academy student rather than a typical veteran hunter and tried to use intimidation.

Well, maybe it worked.

If I don’t know my worth.

‘But I’m not so young or stupid that I can’t understand that much.’

I shifted my gaze to the female employee’s eyes

She seemed to flinch when he met her eyes.

She smiled at her and spoke quietly.

“I killed an S-rank hunter. Don’t you know what that means?”

What that means is simple.

It’s not that the Hunter Association doesn’t touch me.

You can’t do it.

‘Of course, if you put your mind to it, you can subdue it.’

There are a total of three S-rank hunters in Korea.

In addition, if you gather dozens of A-rank hunters, it will be possible to catch just one person.

The problem is what benefit you get from killing me.

The Hunter Association probably believes that Kim Si-woo easily killed the S-class hunter Zion.

In other words, in the process of subduing me, the few Korean S-rank hunters will be injured, and in the worst case scenario, they may die.

Each S-class hunter is literally a small country.

It is not simply a metaphorical expression, but considering the economic value and power it creates, it is difficult to find words to compare it to.

That’s why they won’t seriously try to do anything to me.

Rather, they will try to appease.

In the S class, where there is no official superiority or inferiority, there is probably no place that does not covet a hunter whose power exceeds that of the S class, even if it is only Zion.

‘I’ll have to prove once again that I’m at the same level or higher than the S rank.’

Therefore, the current disciplinary action is formal and superficial.

And the meaning is:

“That threat won’t work on me now.”

“Ugh, but…”

“Your clan’s name is probably Geummyeong, right? If I leave here, I don’t know what kind of contract I will have with that clan in the future. If you act like this now, you may be at a disadvantage.”

The female employee stuttered as if embarrassed.

“Well, what is that…”

“For example, if you sign an important contract, you make it a condition that it will cloud your bright future.”

The female employee closed her mouth and swallowed her saliva as if she was embarrassed by my words.

She has the ability, so she would have been right for this, but she doesn’t seem that much older than me.

Although he has made many threats, he doesn’t seem to have much experience with being threatened.

The female employee still has her mouth shut with her pale face.

‘Did I speak a bit meanly?’

It can’t be helped.

Now, when this situation is over and I go out, my evaluation and value will definitely rise vertically.

What this means is that it becomes easy to get caught up in troublesome things.

If you don’t want to do that, it’s better to be cocky like this.

In other words, it is a rehearsal that does not look like a favoritism.

Even so, I feel a little pricked at my conscience for leaving it like that.

She said, looking at the pale-faced female employee.

“When I get out of here, I can carry out personal tasks no matter what clan I belong to.”

“Huh? What is that…”

A female employee looking at me with round eyes at what I said.

After hearing her words, I looked at the business card she gave me.

“Lee Sol-mi, head of the strategic talent recruitment department… I’m declining the current offer, but I’ll remember your name. I’d like to ask you for it when I start working on my own in the future.”

High level hunter. In particular, it is common for S-rank hunters, even if they belong to a clan, to take on separate personal tasks or to found a clan under themselves.

She remembered this when she received the business card.

I wondered where I had heard of this name, Solmi Lee, and it turned out to be the woman that Seonghyeon Lee, who achieved S rank in the 7th episode, used as his manager.

Although she was described as suffering from overwork, her ability seemed certain, as she was able to run the clan on her own.

‘I never thought we would meet like this.’

Solmi Lee asked as if she was suspicious.

“Why are you suggesting this? I don’t think my first impression was that good.”

Was it intentional?

She said with her smile.

“It wasn’t great, but it was impressive.”

*

It is quiet without any sound.

The walls are full of hard, cold gray light without a single small window.

The floor is also made of a material like concrete.

Nevertheless, the fact that there is no sound of footsteps means that this is a completely separate space.

A bleak and desolate space without any warmth.

There is only silence, as if even one’s existence is being buried.

“I’m really bored because there’s no one around.”

It seemed that with Lee Sol-mi, the behind-the-scenes work of the large clans was over.

After that, I didn’t hear a rat, let alone a person, for three days.

Honestly, it’s driving me crazy.

After sitting on the cold floor in an uncomfortable position for a long time, my body feels tired.

“It’s not good that time passes like this and there’s no news…”

Even if it is unavoidable to keep them locked up in such an inconvenient place, it is very unsettling to not hear any news for such a long time.

“Could it be that they decided to use a hard-line policy rather than a conciliatory policy?”

Did I think wrong?

Should I call Solmi Lee and pray right now?

Kim Si-woo’s eventful 〈 Gakheonheon 〉 Ice Age ends like this?

Isn’t there something like the death penalty or something like that?

[Operation to subdue criminal Kim Si-woo] Is officially…

He shook his head and cleared away the useless thoughts.

‘If that’s really the case, Erina might attack with kimchi in both hands.’

If you hear the news about Erina’s personality, she might really be like that.

“If it were Baek A-rin, she would probably protest with a bundle of documents.”

I start laughing without even realizing it.

If I didn’t think about something like this, I would get so bored that I would go crazy.

Still, she doesn’t feel any need to escape from here.

Basically, the hunter association, especially the Korean hunter association, has clear advantages and losses.

‘The reason it takes so long is probably because there are differences of opinion within.’

However, as time goes by, we will definitely come together into one opinion.

[Kim Si-woo is worth using.]

But before that, I will try to test my strength.

“Now there’s no need to deceive anymore.”

Since you’ve come this far, there’s no need to pretend you don’t have any skills or, conversely, ‘pretend’ to be strong.

Just the power you have now will be enough to prove it.

So all you have to do is wait patiently.

Pushui-

At that time, a part of the smooth wall beyond the iron window caved in and opened.

What you see beyond that is something that shouldn’t be here.

The words came out without me even realizing it.

“How, or why?”

***

“I ask the superiors to come out!”

A woman shouting like Jinsang at the Hunter Association Academy window.

People spoke when they saw that.

-Without culture…

-I wonder which family the child is from.

-But I think I saw that person somewhere…

“I’m sorry, but I can’t give you details unless you’re an official.”

An employee who repeats the same words like a macro.

Baek A-rin shouted as if she was frustrated.

“That’s why I’m involved!”

“But that’s not possible. This incident cannot be shared with the general public due to orders from superiors.”

“No matter where I go, everyone says the same thing…”

Baek A-rin gritted her teeth and came out.

She looked up at the sky and muttered.

“When on earth are you coming back?”

Kim Si-woo disappeared without saying a word as soon as he returned to Korea.

Not long after, Baek Ah-rin heard on the news that she was being detained by the association, and she was furious.

‘I stopped you like that!’

Unless it is a serious crime, she will not be imprisoned at the Hunter Association headquarters.

What this means is that the Hunter Association is not taking this incident lightly.

‘Of course, but…’

It was obvious that Kim Si-woo was being treated as a serious criminal at the Hunter Association headquarters.

At first she waited, thinking she would return soon.

I thought it would be like that for a week.

After about a month, I started to feel anxious.

And now.

“No, not for three months!”

A state where even life or death is unknown.

“No, I wouldn’t have died.”

Because of the news she heard, she knew that at least she was not dead. However, not coming back meant that things were going wrong.

“No matter where I go, everyone just repeats the same thing! My father doesn’t even tell me anything…”

Baek Arin pressed her temple and let out a sigh.

Erina Esnatia thought that Kim Si-woo was taken because of her, and she felt sad.

No, I was crazy.

‘Yes, I was definitely crazy.’

She managed to stop the ridiculous plan to attack the Hunter Association.

That’s why she’s jumping around on her feet like this.

At that time, the wind blew strongly.

“Ugh…”

Baek Arin lifted the flower petals off her face and looked at her.

“Sii… When are you coming back, you idiot? The cherry blossoms have already bloomed.”
