Episode 60

 

Chapter 60: Why Won’t This Work? (2)

 

Dohyun, who had left the Association and was heading home, stretched briefly and thought he had spent another good day.

 

Hanalin and Jiyuchan had bought him a meal to thank him, so he ate well. Hanalin said she would stay at the Association to study more, and Jiyuchan said he was going home, so they parted ways and he was on his way back.

 

As Dohyun left the Association, he made eye contact with one of the people who, like him, had come out of the Association Gymnasium.

 

“Hmm?”

 

He must have trained hard in the gymnasium, because even though he seemed to have washed up, white steam was rising from his body like vapor.

 

This was a phenomenon caused by the heat from muscles that only appeared in Hunters who trained intensively, and Dohyun looked at him with quite some interest. He also made eye contact with Dohyun and gave a slight nod.

 

Naturally, Lee Heejai didn’t know that Dohyun was the person who had impressed him earlier due to the transformation magic, and Dohyun didn’t know who Lee Heejai was either, so they just nodded to each other without much thought and passed by.

 

And when Dohyun habitually opened his status window.

 

‘Wow.’

 

Dohyun let out a slight exclamation at the more impressive status window than expected.

 

Through habitual acquisition, he had raised his proficiency in swordsmanship and mana manipulation, and acquired Will of Dragon Slaying.

 

The consumption points were a whopping 1000AP.

 

Hwang Hana’s Death Strike only cost 800AP, so seeing a skill of the same grade cost more than Death Strike made Dohyun puzzled.

 

‘Is it a more special skill than I thought?’

 

When he examined Will of Dragon Slaying with analysis, it was somewhat similar to Intimidation but had a much sharper feeling.

 

If Intimidation was simply spreading one’s presence to restrict the opponent’s movements and various things, Will of Dragon Slaying was a technique that directly emanated killing intent to suppress with murderous aura or engulf in fear.

 

It wasn’t greatly different, so he thought it would be good to learn and acquired it.

 

It seemed like the effect would be better if used mixed together with Intimidation.

 

Still, it was a bit puzzling that this cost a whole 1000AP.

 

As mentioned earlier, Death Strike was 800AP, wasn’t it? That meant Will of Dragon Slaying was a higher-tier skill by that much, but seeing that the trait level was lower than Death Strike King, he couldn’t understand it.

 

‘I don’t really understand the effect either.’

 

Seeing Dohyun looking puzzled, Analysis kindly informed him.

 

‘Dragon species?’

 

Well, since the trait name was Dragon Slayer, thinking that Will of Dragon Slaying was also one of those skills, learning that it was a technique specialized against dragon species, he could subtly feel how powerful dragon species were.

 

The fact that a skill that merely worked better on dragon species consumed more AP meant that dragon species were tremendously strong, what else could it be?

 

Perhaps that person might grow tremendously too, he thought.

 

Dohyun thought he should remember the name Lee Heejai well and returned home.

 

* * *

 

After sparring, providing explanations, returning home and sleeping deeply, Dohyun yawned and stretched the next morning.

 

If he had to pick the best thing about becoming a Hunter, would it be this?

 

When he wanted to sleep, he fell asleep quickly, and when he woke up, his body felt completely refreshed and comfortable as if he had gotten a good night’s sleep.

 

‘Even sleeping just a little makes me feel incredibly refreshed.’

 

It felt like a Pokémon that had been healed at a Pokémon Center, completely energized, so Dohyun smiled with satisfaction and got up from bed.

 

Since he had no particular schedule today, should he rest?

 

Since there was no need to go out, Dohyun thought for a moment and lay back down on the bed.

 

If he decided to rest, he should rest properly.

 

Thinking so, Dohyun turned on YouTube while lying down for the first time in a while.

 

Come to think of it, it seemed like it had been a while since he rested while watching YouTube like this.

 

When Dohyun went in and tried to watch videos that came up in the algorithm as usual, there were tons of Hunter-related videos since he had become a Hunter.

 

‘Just how much are they eavesdropping…’

 

Marveling at the advancement of technology, Dohyun was looking at the thumbnails of various videos when something caught his eye.

 

‘This is…’

 

[D-Grade Legendary Villain]

 

That was the title, and it was a thumbnail with an unknown silhouette and the channel owner who seemed to be explaining something.

 

It was a title and thumbnail that Dohyun would never have clicked on before becoming a Hunter, but since he had just been promoted to D-grade, he was curious about what this was and clicked on it.

 

As the video played, the channel owner began to speak.

 

-Hello. I’m Nokseong Jeongja from Villain Union, introducing various villains. The villain I’m introducing today is a villain that recently appeared in D-grade areas.

 

‘Hmm.’

 

From what Dohyun could see, he seemed like a regular person, but how did he know about villain news?

 

As that small curiosity arose, Nokseong Jeongja explained that too, as if he had expected this.

 

-Today’s research is based on testimonies from D-grade Hunters active with the Hunter Association, so I think it’s reliable information. Also, the Hunter Association responds well to these interviews and wants to spread information widely so everyone can prepare.

 

Although there were some tangents, this would indeed be reliable information.

 

Since Dohyun was also affiliated with the Hunter Association, he knew well what kind of attitude they took.

 

As he continued watching the video, Nokseong Jeongja told the story like a narrative written from a Hunter’s perspective.

 

While such tangents weren’t really necessary for information, perhaps because his speaking skills were so good? Rather, Dohyun also listened intently as if hearing an exciting mystery story.

 

The Hunter who gave testimony had discovered a lost alien species in a D-grade area, and explained that it was an alien species he had never seen before in his life.

 

-He said it resembled a withered, twisted scarecrow, and seeing straw falling every time it moved, he thought it might actually be a real scarecrow. That scarecrow alien species carried a large scythe and attacked immediately upon being discovered.

 

The content after that was predictable.

 

Thanks to another alien species party that was passing by, he was able to escape and barely survived.

 

Listening to this, Dohyun also felt curious about what kind of alien species it might be.

 

Since he might encounter it when entering D-grade areas, he kept it in mind, then was about to look for other videos but didn’t see anything particularly worth watching, so he thought he’d just watch a movie and turned on the TV. As he tried to access OTT, his phone suddenly rang.

 

“Huh?”

 

Thinking it might be Jiyuchan or Hanalin, he checked his phone and found it was an unexpected person.

 

Actually, was it really unexpected?

 

-What kind of kid doesn’t contact me even once for several days?

 

At the familiar voice that started with nagging right from the beginning, Dohyun chuckled and answered.

 

“Oh. Mother, what’s up?”

 

-Well, you haven’t contacted me even once, so I just called.

 

“Ah, really? Nothing special happening, right?”

 

-No news is good news, right? Mother is fine.

 

Saying that while inwardly seeming worried about whether something had happened to Dohyun, Dohyun couldn’t help but smile slightly.

 

Come to think of it, it’s been quite a while since I went to my family home.

 

Although he was currently living alone in Seoul, his family home was in Incheon, so it wasn’t that far.

 

He had planned to just stay home since he was taking a break, but he had nothing to do and it had been quite a while since he visited.

 

Dohyun smiled and said.

 

“Hmm, should I come today?”

 

-Why, don’t you have work? You’re preparing for job hunting, is it okay to come?

 

At his mother’s words, who said that while hoping he would come, Dohyun nodded and said.

 

“Well, I’m free today so it doesn’t matter.”

 

-…Alright, then come if you want.

 

She spoke curtly but her voice seemed inwardly pleased, so Dohyun nodded saying he understood.

 

Anyway, if she’s happy about me just coming, she could just say so, why does she talk like that.

 

Thinking that maybe his mother was also like those who find it harder to express themselves as they get older, Dohyun smiled slightly, then remembered his bank balance and asked.

 

“Do you need anything? I’ll buy it on the way.”

 

-Hey, where do you have money to buy anything? Just come and eat.

 

“I earned money so it’s fine.”

 

-How much could that part-time job pay be? I have no intention of leeching off my son, so just come.

 

“Mm, I’ll buy something anyway. I’ll come now.”

 

-Really, you only know how to spend money….

 

Knowing that continuing would only lead to more nagging, Dohyun hung up the phone.

 

Anyway, doesn’t he have tons of money?

 

He recently exchanged 100,000 points and has a whopping 1 billion won in his bank account, so what’s there to be afraid of.

 

Taking this opportunity to show some filial piety, he thought as he got up and prepared to go out.

 

After washing up appropriately and changing clothes, thinking that since this was his first paycheck in a way, he should at least buy some underwear, Dohyun went to a store and bought underwear for his parents.

 

Although there wasn’t the classic red underwear, these days functional undergarments like heat tech were well developed, so he picked out good ones to buy.

 

Although he had 1 billion won, suddenly giving expensive gifts would be a bit much, wouldn’t it.

 

If he told them step by step, his parents surely wouldn’t be surprised.

 

‘Well, I don’t have to tell them.’

 

It might be best not to mention anything that would cause worry.

 

Still, since media exposure as a Hunter would be inevitable later anyway, he had the contradictory thought of whether it would be better to tell them before they found out through the media.

 

Since he didn’t need to decide that today, Dohyun picked out appropriate gifts.

 

Moreover, he withdrew some money to give as spending money, and although it was annoying, he also withdrew spending money for his younger sibling who was still happy to see him each time.

 

Since he seemed to have prepared everything appropriately, should he start going?

 

So Dohyun was about to take the subway with his bags full of stuff, but found it bothersome and called a taxi instead.

 

If he had known this would happen, he should have brought his magic pouch, he thought, then suddenly remembered something more important he needed to buy.

 

‘Should I buy a car first?’

 

* * *

 

“Really, all you know how to do is spend money!? Oh my? Look at this kid, he hung up?”

 

Seeing that Dohyun had hung up the call, Dohyun’s mother, Han Seunghee, frowned deeply.

 

But more than that, thinking she needed to prepare quickly since Dohyun said he was coming right away, she moved busily.

 

Since her son was coming after a long time, she couldn’t just greet him empty-handed.

 

She wanted to make some side dishes he liked and some meat too, so when she opened the refrigerator, there happened to be few ingredients, so it seemed she needed to go grocery shopping.

 

Taking a wallet, Han Seunghee hit the back of Dohyun’s younger sibling who was sprawled out sleeping in the room during vacation.

 

“Ahhh! Ah!”

 

“Hey, the sun rose ages ago and you’re still sprawled out sleeping!?”

 

“Ahhh, uh, Mother, it’s, it’s vacation. Please, please let it slide.”

 

“Let what slide! Look at the state of your room!”

 

“Sigh, no really, I’m tired.”

 

“Whatever, your older brother is coming. Get up quickly.”

 

Executing the classic mother move of only saying what she wanted to say, Han Seunghee left like that, and Dohyun’s younger sister Lee Dohee, who had been making a tearful face at her mother who swept through like a storm, scratched her head.

 

“No, what does older brother coming have to do with me….”
