Episode 94

After the presidential spokesperson’s announcement.

The area around my studio apartment became absolutely packed with people.

When I slightly opened the window, I could hear loud shouts of “Hunter Park Min-ho!!”

Hmm.

It seems like.

This has gotten complicated.

【Fame shouldn’t be a problem, should it?】

“Having to push through that crowd every day would be quite troublesome, wouldn’t it.”

【Hmm.】

If it’s noisy, it’s also a nuisance to the landlord’s house.

I need a solution.

A brilliant plan to break through this situation!

Baekraemong! Please help me!

―Why don’t you take this opportunity to move houses.

“Excuse me?”

―How about Yuno Palace.

What do you mean by that.

I’m worried about getting gray hairs, and you’re suggesting I solve it by shaving everything off with clippers.

And besides.

Yuno Palace is a place where even the cheapest units cost over 5 billion won, isn’t it.

“Where would I get that kind of money…”

Ah.

I do have it.

But still.

I’m not sure if spending money so boldly is the right thing to do.

―I did recommend it once before.

“I thought you were joking.”

―Moving into Yuno Palace would reduce troublesome matters.

“That’s not the only reason, is it?”

―Yes. It’s also because of security issues.

Right now, many people welcome our country’s government’s refreshing response.

But once the Chinese government starts imposing trade sanctions in earnest, voices blaming me will emerge.

“That would be quite troublesome.”

―It’s unavoidable since it involves everyone from people whose livelihoods are at stake to corporations.

Even to protect myself from media exposure and ensure my safety.

Moving is essential, he says.

Hmm.

Suddenly it feels like the scale has gotten bigger.

“I’m not particularly thrilled about it.”

―I understand. This isn’t something Hunter Park wanted to happen.

The China Superhuman Bureau, was it.

Because of those damn bastards, I’m now preparing for a move I never even thought about.

“Well, this is just great.”

―Think of it positively. I was going to recommend moving houses soon anyway.

“Huh.”

―It’s an unavoidable progression once Hunter Park becomes famous.

Famous Hunters suffer privacy invasion at the level of celebrities, he says.

Moving to a residence with solid security is natural, apparently.

But if it’s Yuno Palace, it’ll be too far from the workshop in Guui-dong.

―You’ll naturally have to move that too.

“Eeek. I only signed the contract a month ago.”

―Either leave it vacant or find a tenant.

It’s not like I’ve grown attached to it or anything.

It’s just that the monthly rent feels like a waste.

―Don’t you easily earn tens of millions of won per day.

“But if I spend too recklessly, you know.”

―Money is a means.

I could feel determination in President Baek’s voice.

―If you reduce commute time by just one hour, that’s more than a full day in a month.

“That’s true.”

―Is Hunter’s time cheaper than a million won?

“I’m convinced.”

It’s an example that hits close to home.

―Then I’ll look into availability at Yuno Palace and suitable places for a workshop.

“Yes. Please do.”

After ending the call, I lay down on the bed.

The studio apartment where I’d stayed for 5 years.

Thinking about leaving made my feelings complicated.

What should I say to the landlady…?

Sigh.

I drank a cup of cold water and went downstairs.

“Are you feeling alright?”

The landlady immediately asked about my well-being first.

“As you can see, I’m perfectly fine.”

“You don’t know how shocked I was when I saw the news. My husband was also extremely worried about student Min-ho.”

“Thank you.”

Among the missed calls, the landlord couple occupied the second-largest share after my parents.

I’m so grateful for how they always look out for me.

That’s exactly why.

I felt I shouldn’t cause them any more trouble.

I organized and told her only part of the conversation I had with President Baek.

“I think it would be a nuisance if I kept staying in this house.”

The landlady made a complicated expression and was about to say something, then closed her mouth.

Silence filled the space.

Ugh.

I haven’t done anything wrong, but I feel a stabbing pain in my heart.

“I’ll return the deposit when I move out.”

“There’s still some time left on the lease.”

“Hohoho. If I say it’s the room student Min-ho used for a long time, it’ll be rented out quickly, right?”

The deposit is about 30 million won.

It’s not a big amount for me anymore.

However.

I was moved by the landlady’s caring heart.

“You don’t have to move out right away. Let’s talk again when the situation settles down.”

“Thank you.”

Bang!

“Uncle!!! Are you really leaving?”

Yeondu burst through the door roughly and shouted loudly.

“This child, really. I told you to stay quiet.”

“How can you just stay still! Uncle is leaving!”

Oh.

I’m a little touched. Yeon-du?

It would have been perfect if you just left out that word ‘uncle.’

“Well, that’s how it turned out.”

“Don’t go, Uncle.”

【Ho ho. Could it be that the princess has feelings for our lord?】

Stop talking nonsense.

Even a passing dog would laugh at that.

【How many people are as charming as Master?】

【Both of you speak the truth, my lord!】

Hey now.

Don’t inflate my ego.

But why are my shoulders tensing up?

Heh.

That girl Yeon-du. If she thought that way, she should have said so earlier.

Since she might not see me again, she’s speaking her true feelings…

“I wanted to learn swordsmanship from Uncle’s minion!”

Oh my.

Of course, I knew that’s what it would be.

What feelings, my foot?

“But why swordsmanship all of a sudden.”

“You easily subdued Hunter Jang Min-seok during sparring.”

Yeon-du’s eyes sparkled.

Look at this girl.

That was ages ago, and you’re bringing it up now.

“Learn from the instructors at your guild.”

“They can’t wield a sword as well as that undead.”

【That’s only natural.】

Pride dripped from Sir Isra’s telepathy.

“There are two problems.”

“Two whole problems?”

“First is your affiliation.”

Yeon-du belongs to Mir Guild.

It’s not that I can’t teach Yeon-du just because things went sour with them.

“If I say I’ll teach you swordsmanship, won’t your guild turn upside down?”

“It’s fine if we don’t get caught.”

Well.

There are no secrets in this world.

No matter how well you hide something, it’s bound to be discovered eventually.

This kind of reasoning probably won’t break Yeon-du’s resolve.

“What’s the second reason?”

“I need to hear the opinion of the subordinate who would teach the swordsmanship.”

“Huh. Can’t you just order him to do it?”

“You don’t understand. He’ll say he won’t teach swordsmanship if your talent isn’t good enough.”

Is Sir Isra some ordinary undead?

I could force him if I put my mind to it, but I didn’t want to do that.

【I don’t mind.】

You’re not supposed to say that.

【I saw her training before, and she has quite good sense.】

He said the same thing when we went to Mir Guild.

【Since they showed kindness to my lord, I shall specially provide guidance.】

No.

You don’t have to do that.

“What’s he saying? Your minion? He says it’s fine, right?”

Tsk.

I can’t control my expression.

I should have brazenly pretended it wasn’t possible, but Sir Isra said yes, making things awkward.

“Student Min-ho. Does our Yeon-du have talent?”

Ugh.

With even the lady joining forces, I couldn’t pretend not to know anymore.

“Sir Isra, that is, my subordinate says she has talent.”

“Oh my. I’m grateful that the Guui-dong Necromancer acknowledges her.”

Are you using that title too, ma’am?

【First, tell her we’ll do a test and then decide whether to teach her afterward.】

When I relayed Sir Isra’s words exactly.

“Yahoo! Let’s go take the test right now!”

Beagle.

No wait, Miss Kim Yeon-du shook her body excitedly.

Ugh.

I came to tell them about moving, but ended up taking on a huge burden.

* * *

Breaking through the reporters’ encirclement was an incredibly difficult task.

“Excuse me. Let me through.”

“Hunter Park Min-ho! Please give us a comment about this Tourang attack incident!”

You people.

Aren’t you non-awakened?

Why is everyone so strong!

At this rate, I’m going to be split into Park/Min/Ho.

“Please make interview requests through Seungcheon Agency.”

Ugh.

I got completely worn out breaking through the reporters camping in the alley.

Maybe because I’ve experienced this mess a few times.

My resolve to move, which I wanted to postpone until just a moment ago, became even stronger.

I went to the training center near my house and waited for a while.

“Did you wait long?”

Miss Kim Yeon-du walked over delinquently with her hood pulled up.

“You look comfortable.”

“They all scattered when Uncle left?”

My goodness.

Who knew they’d retreat so quickly.

How unfair.

“They came to see Uncle, so what’s unfair about it.”

“Right. It’s my fault.”

“I’ll forgive you if you give me the test.”

Tsk.

She never loses an argument.

“I’d like to use a sparring-only ring.”

“What rank are you?”

“C-rank.”

“If an impact exceeding the designated grade occurs, penalty fees will be charged.”

The sparring field has protective barriers that safeguard users.

If an impact beyond the allowed threshold occurs, the barrier goes pop!

They say countless Hunters end up paying repair fees trying to save a little money.

【I’m confident in controlling my strength.】

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, Sir.”

I’m just taking safety precautions in case of an emergency.

Yeondu might unleash power beyond her grade.

“Oh. You think that highly of me?”

“I said it’s just a precaution.”

I stood in the sparring field with Yeondu.

Sir Isra, who suddenly rose from the shadows, gestured with his hand.

【Come forth, princess of the ancient empire.】

“Princess?”

Five question marks appeared above Yeondu’s head.

Damn it.

That bastard’s big mouth!

“Then I’ll begin.”

[Acceleration]

Yeondu, wrapped in blue mana, charged forward at speeds beyond her natural abilities.

Fast.

Even seeing it for the second time, the same impression came to mind.

Without the Heavenly Martial Body, I probably would have been hit without even seeing her coming.

In other words.

My enhanced senses accurately read the direction of Yeondu’s attack.

Clang!

The blade aimed at Sir Isra bounced back, unable to advance further.

This time she moved in a zigzag pattern.

The blue afterimage left behind confused the vision.

“Hiyah.”

Clang!

Another blocked sword strike.

The third.

The fourth attack also failed to reach Sir Isra.

“Hmm.”

It’s a strange feeling.

In terms of speed itself, Yeondu surpassed Sir Isra.

Sir Isra’s specs are at C-grade monster level.

Without mana emission, he could never match Yeondu in ‘speed’.

Nevertheless.

Clang!

“Haah!”

Clang!

Yeondu’s attacks never once reached Sir Isra.

Even when she confused the eyes with high-speed movement.

Even when she pressed the attack faster.

The result was always the same.

How many more attacks did she unleash?

“Huff, huff.”

Yeondu, drenched in sweat, breathed heavily.

Did she exhaust herself?

【I saw well. Prin— no. Your skills.】

“How was it?”

【So boring I want to die.】

For once.

I agreed with Sir Isra’s opinion too.
