022. Hunter Sungyoon Han (2)
After arranging the equipment.
I slowly experimented with the commands dedicated to the Tower of Trials.
I thought it would be a command since I could have brought the equipment I had purchased with points.
but.
“Neither can this be.”
trials information community store inventory and more.
I gave up soon because none of the commands worked.
‘Well, if this had happened, it would have been even weirder.’
The fraudulentness of the inventory alone was enormous, but if it could be used, the ripple effect would not have been a joke.
I neatly put aside my lingering feelings and soon prepared suitable clothes in my closet.
Even if it wasn’t, I didn’t want to wear it any longer, even though it was soaked in sweat and blood and the stench was no joke.
‘It’s kind of strange that I’ve been able to wear it until now.’
It was an achievement achieved under the determination not to waste points.
Then I turned on the shower head and washed my body with hot water.
I rubbed the dried blood on my skin and cleaned my body by using bath products.
However, even after washing for two hours, the strange smell did not leave.
After washing it all off, I rubbed my hair with a towel and looked in the mirror.
Muscles that had previously been revealed implicitly were violently taking shape.
It was the physical growth that took place as a result of the change in ability.
“Hmm, so that’s how things have changed.”
It was hard to realize it because I couldn’t see it in the mirror, but seeing it in person feels different.
Just by looking at the appearance, even a skilled hunter can’t help it.
…In reality, it only grew rapidly through short-term battles.
‘Still, it’s nice to see.’
Feeling satisfied, I changed my clothes and lay down on the bed.
It’s not expensive, but it feels several times better than the one in the waiting room.
To be honest, 500 points was well worth this series of courses alone.
‘Wow, it can’t be this comfortable.’
Even though it was just washing my body clean and lying on a soft bed.
The comfort his body felt was stronger than when he was in the Tower of Trials.
It’s to the point where I want to lie down, go to sleep, wake up, eat all sorts of food, and spend my days indolently.
But even this level of stimulation did not break his will.
Whether it was a stick or a carrot, I knew how to control myself.
‘Let’s organize the necessary things first.’
Lying on the bed, I stared at the ceiling and slowly started making plans.
It was for three main reasons that I dared to return to Earth.
First, to release psychological fatigue from the earth and have time to recharge.
Second, to get a refund of 50% of the membership fee at the player-only gym.
To prove her qualifications as a third hunter and gain an advantage over others.
‘Actually, the third is the most important.’
The third reason for returning to Earth was the Hunter exam.
Qualification to enter the gate and hunt monsters.
I’m back to prove it.
For 7 years, I set that goal and worked hard day and night.
Once I took the Hunter exam, there was a lot to gain.
‘For now, I’m sure I’ll pass the Hunter exam.’
Those who were called hunters were also broken by my hands, and it was no different than monsters.
The question is, at what level can it be rated?
In the Hunter exam, you can grade up to C when grading candidates.
‘I wonder how much it will be evaluated…’
There was also an advantage that could be gained by passing the Hunter exam.
Items can be officially sold and access to the gate becomes free.
If you ask me if it’s an important enough agenda to return to Earth, I can immediately say yes.
‘I’m not the only one summoned to the Tower of Trials.’
There are players, ordinary people, and professional hunters.
The number of people who have reached the 5th floor has also increased, so information about the Tower of Trials will soon be released.
Then, even for that time, it was good to take the Hunter test in advance.
Hunters can preoccupy information or anything in a position that is dozens of times superior to ordinary people.
The basic requirement to use most of the benefits is to be a formal hunter.
‘Later on, there will be an overflow of candidates for the Hunter exam, so now is the right time.’
sure
The fact that even ordinary people survived quite a bit meant that there were so many people who could become Hunters.
‘Even for the sake of selling items, I have to take the Hunter test.’
When ordinary people sell items, they pay a large fee and get scammed, but hunters don’t.
Fees are low and there is little chance of getting scammed.
why?
‘Because the hunters themselves are the ones who know the item better than anyone else.’
So even when selling items, Hunters were treated differently.
On the other hand, there was a strong possibility that I would be stabbed in the back if I took it, saying that I was an aspiring hunter.
Even if you don’t get hit in the back, fortunately, the fee burden is strong.
In order not to do that, a hunter license was required.
‘I think I’ll have to apply for the Hunter exam online first…’
Then I was worried about what to do.
growl
“…That’s right, I’ll have to deal with this too.”
I got up from my seat laughing at the sound of the ship ringing.
Yeah, it’s past the time to pamper your stomach with beef jerky.
Now that my body is clean, I don’t have to hesitate to go outside anymore.
“Even if you don’t, I was going to eat something when it came out, but it turned out well.”
***
Chicken cola pizza hamburger giblets pork feet and so on.
There were so many foods he wanted to eat at the Tower of Trials.
Being a human being basically has a lot of appetite, so I couldn’t help but pay attention to what to eat.
Of course, I had self-control, so I just filled my stomach with beef jerky….
It wasn’t a few times that I thought about all kinds of food while eating beef jerky.
but.
‘There was no food I wanted more desperately than this.’
I saw clear soup in an earthen pot and pork soaked in it.
It was pork soup from a long-established soup restaurant near the studio.
I don’t hate chicken or pizza, but this was the best.
‘If I want to eat something like that, I’ll eat hot soup.’
Stir the seasoning well, dissolve it in the soup, and eat it with a spoonful, so there is no heavenly taste.
The moment the spicy yet hot soup crosses the esophagus.
“Kuh…”
Even though I tried not to open my mouth, the sound leaked out by itself.
Then he scooped up a spoonful of rice, soaked it in the soup, and put it in his mouth.
I didn’t think about this or that, I scraped the soup and ate it.
Even that wasn’t enough, so I added two bowls of soup and only then did I feel a little full.
I felt drowsy as my body warmed up, but I soon came to my senses and took out my wallet and finished the bill.
Ah, the wallet that I thought had disappeared when I entered the Tower of Trials was on the bed when I looked.
As a bonus, the smartphone was also left under the bed.
The battery was a bit low, but it was usable, so I brought it with me.
“After that, I’m full.”
After filling my stomach, I feel like my head is spinning a bit now.
Hmm, now all I have to do is…
‘Get a refund for the membership fee at the gym.’
To be honest, since it was a large gym, I spent a lot of money on it.
Not getting it back was a loss.
However, after eating and thinking about it, it seemed that there was no need for that.
Oh, of course, it’s not a full stomach that he doesn’t want to get the money back because of his pride.
‘Wouldn’t it be better to use the gym title if you can?’
Among the gyms dedicated to players, there is a benefit to quickly take the Hunter exam.
It was the same with the gym I went to.
Originally, if you apply for the Hunter exam, you can take it only after one day at the earliest and two days later at the latest.
‘Then I won’t be able to efficiently use the time until I return.’
However, if you use the fact that you went to a player-only gym, that time is significantly shortened.
When the gym leader guarantees the candidate, he skips the troublesome process and starts with practical training.
Of course, if you don’t get overwhelming results in practical skills, it will be difficult, but that won’t happen.
‘Hmm, what should I do?’
In fact, I was trying to get my money back, even if it was because of an urgent need.
As long as it was revealed that items could be brought from the Tower of Trials, there was no need to worry.
After passing the hunter test, selling the item right away is enough.
‘Honestly, I hate to see the gym leader, but I can’t help it.’
If there is something that can be written, it is right to write.
Like Necromancy, if I don’t use it, I’ll be the one who loses.
And I couldn’t waste the little time left until I returned to the tower.
‘I have to prepare for the trials of the tower even if I use all the means I can use as much as possible.’
turr turr.
As much as the decision was right, the action was just as fast.
After a few beeps, a low voice was heard over the smartphone.
-…Yes, this is Hwang Man-ho, the director of Baekryeon’s exclusive gym for players.
Hearing that not very pleasant voice, I smiled and opened my mouth.
“Yes I am. Do you remember, manager?”
-sure. I remember it well. You could have applied for a membership fee refund online.
Annoyance and subtle contempt ooze from his tone, but it doesn’t matter.
“That’s done. You do not have to refund the membership fee.”
-…Are you serious? Can’t you call back later?
“I have no intention of doing anything. I just want to ask you one thing.”
-If you want to use Baekryeon Gym more, then absolutely no way-
“Please help me take the Hunter exam.”
For a moment, there was a thick silence, and the area beyond the smartphone became quiet.
It was like he didn’t even understand what he was saying.
However, Hwang Man-ho, the gym leader, seemed to have grasped the situation soon and said in a voice full of laughter.
– Do you remember how your ability level was evaluated?
“….”
-You received an F grade in the overall ability evaluation. It’s a failing grade.
“I know.”
-It would be difficult for someone who has no unique characteristics and no skills to do this right away.
Although he didn’t say it directly, it was as if Hwang Man-ho was saying this.
Get a hold of the subject and live with it.
‘Yeah, I was going to do that.’
Actually, what he said is not wrong.
Even if other players didn’t know it, I was the weakest player who couldn’t have anything.
But that is a thing of the past now.
“So you’re saying you can’t do it even if I pay the membership fee?”
Hwang Man-ho replied calmly, not responding to the provocation.
– If you give me money, I have no intention of rejecting it. Is 70 million won a small amount of money?
It was a bit bittersweet to condescend on the money I had dedicated to Baekryun Gym for the past seven years.
That means I was insignificant before entering the Tower of Trials.
It was still a sarcastic tone, but it was as acceptable as it was.
“Then it’s established. You can help me take the Hunter test today.”
-…Today is today. You must have gained confidence in just a few days.
Hwang Man-ho asked if he didn’t like it.
It’ll be like that for a few days, but to Hwang Man-ho, I’ll look like I’m full of vain confidence.
It is undeniable that my confidence has grown in just a few days.
It must have been incomprehensible for a guy who had only poison to act as if he had acquired skills.
But if you thought so, you’re not wrong.
Abilities, unique traits, skills, etc.
As Hwang Man-ho said, basically the basic abilities that a hunter should have.
Because all of them went through the Tower of Trials and were reborn to the point where they couldn’t be compared to before.
I was sure.
This is not arrogance or overconfidence or anything.
It’s just the confidence you should have.
So, I didn’t get pushed back by Hwang Man-ho’s words and answered briefly.
If it was Han Seong-yoon, an aspiring hunter who had nothing so far…
“Yes, I have confidence.”
From now on, he will be reborn as a true hunter Han Seong-yoon.
