nThe small debut in Korea has ended.

nIt was broadcast live over the internet, and most of the viewers were Korean due to the fact that 13 of the 14 hunters and prospects were Korean.

nHowever, after the incident.

nVideos of the debut have begun to spread throughout the world.

nThe reasons were simple.

nA dungeon mutation phenomenon occurred in which a C-Rank dungeon upgraded to S-Rank.

nAnd an aspiring hunter who faked awakening as a superhuman by aether doping.

nEven with such problems, they managed to clear the S-Rank dungeon with only 14 people.

nIf you look at each problem separately, the response would have only been, “Oh, another incident like that happened?”

nBut when you combined both things, it became a hot issue.

n

n

nFirst, topics about the rise and fall of C-Rank trainee Lee Yeonjun.

nLee Yeonjun, the first person to finally awaken as a superhuman through hard work and diligence.

nHaving made his debut as a C-Rank superhuman, many people around the world were already familiar with him.

nEven though he has no superpowers, the world was filled with people who really wanted to be a hunter, and so Lee Yeonjun became their ray of hope.

nBut.

nIt was all a lie.

nLee Yeonjun! What’s with your arm!

nAs soon as the man’s voice was heard in the video, the camera panned to Lee Yeonjun’s arm.

nIt was a clear sign of aether doping.

nPeople were shocked and lamented.

nThe higher the star, the greater the impact from the fall.

nNot just that, Lee Yeonjun lost control of himself due to anger from having his secret revealed, which eventually led to the worst possible side effect of aether doping, Mana Poisoning.

nSoon after, the video showed Lee Yeonjun chasing a hunter named Yoo Seodam, then everything became a mess, and the video ended with the words “get rid of the camera.”

nThe details of the second half were not available.

nHowever, there is only one important point.

nThe 13 hunters and trainees faced both the power of the A-Rank mutant and S-Rank dungeon boss without a single death, and won.

nIn that case.

nAnother question rose about how it had been done.

nIt was natural for the name Jang Hyunsuk, who had the highest rank among the seven veteran hunters, to be brought up.

nS-Rank dungeons required at least three S-Rank superhumans, and at least twenty A-Rak superhumans to support them.

nThen, the conclusion is that S-Rank Jang Hyunsuk was better than people thought.

nIt was normal to conclude that…

nBut.

nIt wasn’t that.

n“It was F-Rank hunter Yoo Seodam’s perfect leadership…”

nThat’s what all the hunters who survived, including Jang Hynsuk, said.

nWithout Yoo Seodam’s strategy and knowledge, they would not have survived.

nIn fact, he supported his D-Rank trainee without much presence throughout the video, but only began to show his presence the moment the dungeon mutation occurred.

nIn a way it was similar to a professional athlete watching a practice soccer game quietly, then schooling the students as soon as he stepped onto the field.

nHe immediately took the authority from Jang Hyunsuk and even ignored the orders from headquarters so he could decisively lead the party safely.

nNobody knew how it happened, but Yoo Seodam was the first to notice the dangerous state of Lee Yeonjun, and how to take advantage of it to subue both threats.

n“Yoo Seodam, you punk. Wasn’t it only a few days that you were discharged from the hospital? ”

nLate afternoon, Incheon International Airport.

nTaylor Nine, sitting cross-legged on a bench at an outdoor bus stop, twirled her hair while looking at the articles on her smartphone.

n‘I’m glad you’re still active….’

nEveryone passing by glanced at her.

nCertainly, Taylor Nine looks could be called unique.

nShort silver hair, golden pupils, nine piercings on her ears, a lightly exposed dress that was not suitable for the current cold weather, and a fierce but beautiful face, together it made for a striking appearance.

n“Isn’t that the S-Rank hunter, Taylor Nine?”

n“What? The one that’s active in Europe?”

n“Wow. Awesome. She’s so pretty. Should we try talking to her?”

n“Does she speak English?”

nTaylor Nine turned her head sharply as people around her began to whisper in Korean.

nThen, she spoke in very clear Korean.

n“What are you looking at? Get lost!”

n“W-what?”

n“You understand Korean, don’t you?”

n“What’s your problem…”

nThe disgruntled passerby hurried on their way after seeing Taylor Nine’s fierce eyes.

nAfter they left, Taylor Nine turned back to her smartphone.

nGuild Lost Day’s statement on the mana poisoning…

nNew scandal on Lost Day.

nTotal denial of the mutant.

nKorea’s giant guild Lost Day, little by little, was faltering.

nIt was very interesting to her.

nBecause not long ago it was where Seodam was strangled like a slave.

n“Good. You little bastards.”

nOf course, Lost Day was a giant guild and wasn’t hurt too badly by just a few scandals.

nBut for some reason Taylor Nine was quite happy that Lost Day was shaken even a little.

nTaylor Nine sprang up from her seat, stretched out, and soon smiled.

nIt would have been great if she could help Seodam, but it was difficult coming to Korea with the number of cases she had to deal with.

n“It’s been a long since since we’ve gone on a hunt together, so I’m going to ask him while he’s not in a guild.”

nBoom!!

nThe sandbag, which was struck by my fists, eventually busted open.

nWith my hands on the wall, I gasped for air as my whole body shook in excitement.

nThree days after the S-Rank dungeon.

nI’ve been experimenting with my abilities, and now I can safely say.

nThat my physical ability has finally made it to E-Rank.

nMy whole body is overflowing with energy.

nThis is the power gained through leveling up.

nIn addition, I successfully hunted Lee Yeojun and was able to steal one talent and skill from him.

nLee Yeonjun’s talent Deprived (A) has been absorbed.

nMy face soured when I saw this message.

nLee Yeonjun’s skill Attention (A ) has been absorbed.

nThen, I was filled with great expectations when I saw this message.

nAttention.

nHow powerful did Lee Yeonjun become through this skill?

nHowever, as expected, it was not a normal skill.

nThe skill was created by forcibly twisting the world’s cliché.

nThe acquisition of the skill Attention (A ) has been canceled.

nThen, when I was disappointed because I thought I had wasted one chance.

nUnder the influence of cliché, you may choose one talent or skill to absorb, except for the canceled skill.

nIn other words, it wasn’t wasted.

nIn return for not being able to absorb a skill the protagonist had, I was given the option to choose one skill or talent.

n‘This, wouldn’t it be great if it happened every time in the future?’

nWith such a thought, I checked the list of skills and talents Lee Yeonjun had.

nAs expected, he had various skills and talents.

nReally, I can’t believe he had all these talents.

nLike, what was the knitting talent for?

nTo be honest, my hands were shaking looking at Berserk (S ).

nS-Rank superpower.

nIt was also a superpower in the “side-effect” category, which has unparalleled power.

nHowever.

nThe side-effect could not be controlled, and it is a fatal disadvantage not being able to activate it when I want, as well as losing my rationale when it did.

nWhich meant a very sharp double-edged sword.

nRather than that, I wanted an ability that was immediately beneficial.

nAfter much thought, I chose this.

nThe skill Wind Step (D) has been absorbed.

nA skill that has a high potential to grow, and can complement my slow movements.

nIt was a movement series skill.

nSuperpowers can grow through training, even if they start out low rank.

nOf course, I was often blocked by the limits of my talent, but now I don’t have to worry about that anymore.

nSo I boldly absorbed a low rank skill.

nPower Steroid and Berserk were the better choices now, but it is better to build a solid foundation for the future than to be blinded by short term gains.

nWith this, I’ve obtained a suitable skill, so I was satisfied.

nSuddenly, a message appeared.

nTalent ‘Intuition A’ and ‘Deprived A’ have resonated.

nSkill Sixth Sense (F) has been created.

nOut of nowhere, my talents resonated and a new skill was created.

nThat, too, was a skill that I needed very much.

nHas there ever been anyone else who have experienced two talents resonating with each other?

nTalents were something people were born with.

nUnless there is a way to absorb other people’s talents.

nI’ve always had a good intuition.

nWhen I felt like I was going to die, or when a real crisis came, or when I felt something was wrong.

nIt was only when I started hunting protagonists did I realize this was my talent.

nIntuition (A) talent.

nThen Deprived (A) was gained.

nYou can now sense things that the five senses can’t.

nAlthough the rank was still low, and I couldn’t feel anything right, it was fine.

nI had no choice but to avoid monsters in advance before, but now I’ve improved my ability.

nIn addition, the level of the Protagonist Hunter had risen.

nBy successfully hunting three protagonists, the level of Protagonist Hunter has risen by 2.

nIncreased the weight limit to 30kg.

nFrom now on you can grasp the flow of the protagonist’s story.

nAny changes the protagonist makes to their world’s plot, you will be able to sense it.

n…To be honest.

nI don’t know what that means.

nI just thought it must be a good thing if it had risen in level.

n‘Status Window.’

nFrankly speaking, this was enough for me to live my life leisurely, but I had no intention of stopping here.

nSomeone approached me as I was cleaning up the smashed sandbag after I checked my ability.

nTurning my head, Celeste stood in her casual clothes.

nIt was a bit of a surprise because I’ve only seen her in her uniform or suit.

nA peach dress under a mink coat and black stocking stretched below it.

nSeeing her neatly braided hair and light makeup, she seemed to be preparing for something.

nAre you going somewhere?

nWhen I was thinking that, she with a sullen look spoke.

n“Let’s go buy your equipment.”

n“What?”

nOh, that’s right.

nI just remembered that I was owed three 2nd-Grade equipment for helping her as a senior hunter.

nBut…

n“Do I need to come with you?”

nThen Celeste closed her lips, contemplated something, and soon nodded.

n“…Yes”

n“Really?”

nAs far as I know, that wasn’t the case.

nIn the first place, even the ‘vouchers’ of a workshop can be sent through the phone.

nIf I just press a button on my smartphone to send the request, everything will be okay.

nBut in a pretty determined voice.

n“I can’t go without you.”

nThat’s what she said, so in the end I had no choice but to go.

nBy the way, it was 2nd-Grade.

nAlthough it’s not as good as it used to be, it was still 10 to 20 times more expensive than the 3rd-Grade equipment I’m using now and is worth the price.

nWait a minute.

nWith such equipment, wouldn’t it be possible to hunt down unique protagonists?

nFor example, a ‘mage.’

n

n

nMagic was still an unknown ability to me, and I knew very little, but it wouldn’t be for long if I’m given enough time.

nI’ve seen enough of how mages fought when I hunted the Holy Sword the other day.

nI don’t know much about magic.

nThere was a high possibility that I wouldn’t be able to use the skill even if I obtain one.

nIt means I don’t just need magic skills, but talent as well.

nAnd I had seen the perfect opportunity earlier.

n#Student_Turned_Out_To_Be_A_Magic_Genuis

n#Fantasy #Regression #Academy #Harem

nA protagonist with the hashtag ‘genius.’

nIt gave off the smell of ‘talent.’

nFor that reason, while I was buying equipment with Celeste, I was also finishing up the last preparation to hunt a mage.
