My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 15

Episode 15. The Proposal

As expected of an A-rank Hunter.

The moment I activated ‘Black Dragon’, he immediately reacted and drew his sword.

Jeong Chan-woo, having drawn his sword, immediately drew mana throughout his entire body.

Deep navy blue mana that sparkled like the night sky rose from his body.

As if showing off that he was an A-rank Hunter, Jeong Chan-woo condensed all his overflowing mana into his sword at once.

At that moment, the sword began to sparkle with a bright yellow light.

[Celestial Body – Seven Stars ]

Swoosh-

A hollow cutting sound echoed through the air.

Jeong Chan-woo slashed through empty air with his sword.

There was nothing visually approaching.

He had simply slashed through empty air.

However, I reflexively raised my right arm.

The subtle pain I felt through the scales told me that my action had been the right choice.

‘As expected of an A-rank Hunter.’

If I hadn’t been able to react, I would have been finished by that attack just now.

Really chilling.

When I blocked his attack, Jeong Chan-woo immediately raised his sword again.

However.

“Block this.”

“…!”

I was already pulling back the arm I had used to block with all my strength.

[Smoke Mist – Shadowless ]

Black mist began rising from my arm.

The hair on my entire body stood on end from the vicious mana sleeping within it.

Instinct screamed.

He must block it.

Jeong Chan-woo withdrew the sword he was about to swing and laid it sideways to block the fist before his eyes.

“Hup!”

Kwaddddeuk!

A storm of dark mist extending from the fist.

The swirling black mist rushed toward Jeong Chan-woo with fierce momentum.

Just that alone began destroying the floor.

The training ground floor that supposedly only gets destroyed when S-rank Hunters train.

This attack cannot be blocked.

Making that judgment, Jeong Chan-woo turned his sword diagonally.

“Kugh…!”

Kudddddeuk!

His two legs, firmly planted on the ground, slid straight back.

His arms tingled as if they might break off, trembling violently.

Jeong Chan-woo gritted his teeth and glanced behind him.

There, the black mist he had barely deflected was still advancing, destroying the floor.

This was not an opponent to take lightly.

Therefore, Jeong Chan-woo pushed more mana into his sword.

‘It’s bright.’

The intensity of light flowing from the sword grew stronger and stronger.

I felt like I shouldn’t let that light grow any brighter.

Gritting my teeth, I struck the ground with all my strength using my fist.

“Ugh!?”

Jeong Chan-woo momentarily staggered from the earthquake at close range.

As he staggered, the intensity of the brightening light wavered for just a moment.

Not missing that opportunity, I stepped forward and thrust my fist ahead.

[Smoke Mist – Shadowless ]

Black mist shot toward Jeong Chan-woo once again.

He’ll be pushed back again this time.

Then I can attack targeting that opening.

Thinking this, I charged forward along with the shooting mist.

However.

“This time.”

The shooting black mist was.

“Will be different.”

Split in half by Jeong Chan-woo’s brightened sword.

The ‘Smoke Mist’ scattered as it was torn in half.

The protective barrier that had been protecting me evaporated in an instant.

Where the black mist that had even obscured my vision disappeared.

There, Jeong Chan-woo was raising his sword above his head as if he had been waiting.

“This time I’ll say it.”

Please block this.

[Celestial Body – New Moon ]

Jeong Chan-woo’s sword came straight down.

At that moment, all the light that had been gathered in the sword was fired in the shape of a new moon and began flying toward me.

Fast.

Strong.

The moment I faced that slash, the hair on my entire body stood on end.

I was certain that even if I blocked with my right arm, my body would be ruined.

Therefore, I led with my right hand and scattered ‘Smoke Mist’ widely in all directions.

Black mist enveloped my surroundings in a hemisphere shape.

Soon after, the slash Jeong Chan-woo had fired made contact with the mist above.

“Kuk….”

The mist kept trying to scatter.

The bright celestial light tried to pierce through the black mist.

Eyes wide open, I fixed the constantly scattering mist more firmly.

[Synchronization Rate 1.6%]

The New Moon’s slash began losing its light from the moment it couldn’t pierce through the black mist barrier.

When that light had diminished by half.

I clenched my right fist tightly and exploded the black mist barrier.

Black mist scattered in all directions with a faint explosion.

That mist evaporated as it swallowed the New Moon’s slash.

Right after bursting the mist, I let my right hand hang down and charged forward.

Jeong Chan-woo also gathered light in his sword again and let his sword hang down.

Sword and fist.

A fight where whoever connects first wins.

I gritted my teeth and threw my punch, while Jeong Chan-woo also swung his sword, which had gathered some light, horizontally.

‘I’m connecting first!’

Thinking this and bracing for the coming pain.

“Hey. Why are you fighting like you’re trying to kill each other?”

As a voice was heard from above our heads.

“Hup?”

“Kugh!”

A tremendous pressure descended upon me and Jeong Chan-woo.

Our bodies slammed into the ground while still in our charging stance.

With my face pressed against the ground, I struggled to lift my head and look ahead.

There, Jeong Chan-woo was also pinned to the floor in exactly the same position as me.

‘What is this?’

It felt as if gravity had increased only in the space where me and Jeong Chan-woo were.

I wanted to get up but couldn’t.

Then, a white shoe gently landed beside me.

The owner of the shoe walked toward me with light steps and began to crouch down.

“Nice to meet you, Black Dragon. Or should I call you Han Mi-reo?”

“…Who, who are you?”

“You don’t know me? It’s me. I’m Seong Yu-mi, one of the eleven S-rank Hunters in our country. Would you recognize me if I said Demon King?”

A white-haired beauty smiled at me with a grin.

With her red eyes, she looked down at me, unable to move, and smiled.

“Shall we go somewhere else for a moment and have a little chat?”

* * *

Cheon Yu-na looked ahead with a bewildered expression.

Clearly, Jeong Chan-woo had called number 738 and Han Mi-reo had entered the training ground.

Then his right hand had transformed into that of a black beast, just like she had seen before.

This time I’ll be able to properly watch him fight.

Just as she was thinking that, suddenly the training ground walls went dark as if the power had gone out.

The training ground walls were dyed black on all sides.

Because of this, she couldn’t see inside even if she wanted to.

“What’s this?”

“Is it broken?”

“Damn it, my turn is still far away!”

Several minutes passed from then.

The blackened training ground walls hadn’t returned to normal.

Not only that, even when they tried to enter, the tightly closed door showed no sign of opening.

Just as people’s complaints were reaching their peak.

As if the power had been turned back on, the training ground walls became transparent again, and Jeong Chan-woo, looking slightly disheveled, was breathing lightly and bowing his head in apology.

“I’m sorry. There was a device malfunction, so I went to fix it briefly.”

An A-rank Hunter’s apology.

And an apology from one of the most promising candidates at that.

No matter how angry they were, there wasn’t anyone present who was crazy enough to say something to him as the examiner.

Except for one person.

“Um, excuse me… Where did examinee number 738 go…?”

Except for Cheon Yu-na, that is.

She trembled slightly as she quietly raised her hand.

Jeong Chan-woo briefly stared at her, then turned his gaze away and spoke.

“Examinee number 739, please come in.”

* * *

I put down the towel I had used to wipe my face and quietly looked around.

Where is this place now?

I quietly closed my eyes and recalled the situation from earlier.

‘Teleport… It felt very similar to when I moved around in the Tower.’

In that situation, all I could do was answer that I understood.

As soon as I answered that, Seong Yu-mi said I had made a good choice and smiled, then activated the ‘Teleport’ skill with just a light snap of her fingers.

A floating sensation similar to when moving to the next floor in the Tower.

My vision flickered once, and before I knew it, I was inside this room.

Seong Yu-mi handed me a towel, apologized for being rough with me, then immediately disappeared.

So I’ve been sitting here waiting ever since…

“When is she coming back?”

It’s taking quite a while.

What could she be doing that’s taking so long?

Just as I was thinking that, suddenly bright light began gathering in one corner.

“Phew… You really destroyed it badly.”

Seong Yu-mi was patting one shoulder, looking tired.

She walked over to where I was sitting and plopped down in the seat across from me.

“Hmm… What should I start with?”

Tap, tap.

With her arms crossed, she tapped her chin with her finger and spoke.

“First, Black Dragon. Sorry, but could I ask you a few small questions?”

“Sure, go ahead.”

“When did you come out of the Tutorial Tower, Black Dragon?”

“Last Thursday, I think?”

“…Right?”

She let out a small sigh, saying she thought so.

“Awakener registration was last Friday. The testimony posted on the internet was also last Friday. Since that gate’s location was close to Gangnam, you must have gone there right after registering.”

“That’s right.”

To think even S-rank Hunter Seong Yu-mi knew about it.

I think I roughly understand why Cheon Yu-na apologized like that.

“Tutorial Tower time was also 4444.4 hours… It matches exactly with the missing period, what’s this? Did you plan it?”

“…”

I didn’t plan it.

Some crazy Black Dragon somewhere planned it.

I quietly kept my mouth shut to avoid answering.

Seong Yu-mi unconsciously looked at me like I was crazy for a moment, then belatedly came to her senses and cleared her throat before continuing.

“This isn’t something I should say after mentioning disappearances and Tutorial Tower records, but I did a brief investigation on you, Black Dragon. You expected as much, right?”

Snap.

With a light finger snap, she summoned some bundle of documents and several canned drinks.

Canned juices rolling around.

From the documents scattered all over the table beneath them, I could tell without reading that they contained information about me.

“Black Dragon, you’re not a villain. You’re really just a newbie who just cleared the Tutorial Tower.”

I stared intently at Seong Yu-mi without saying anything.

Seong Yu-mi chuckled softly at my attitude and uncrossed her arms.

“So here’s the main point. Black Dragon. You have nowhere to go, right?”

“Why are you asking that?”

“If you have nowhere to go, how about becoming an Association Hunter…”

“I don’t want to.”

“…Huh?”

An answer that came out without a moment’s hesitation.

Not expecting such a quick response, a dumbfounded voice flowed from Seong Yu-mi’s mouth.

“W-wait a minute. This is a good offer, you know? If you become an Association Hunter, you get a steady salary and tax benefits too!”

“Then let me ask you something too. If I become an Association Hunter, can I be away for days at a time?”

“That’s… not allowed.”

“That’s why I can’t do it.”

Association Hunter?

I know very well that it pays well.

Association Hunters are civil servants, but they’re classified as a somewhat special case.

Perhaps because of this, they receive high salaries while also being able to sell byproducts from inside gates like regular Hunters.

Double the income.

Naturally, it’s widely known as a profession that makes a lot of money.

For me, with Han Gang View Apartment as my goal, it’s undoubtedly a very good offer.

However.

‘The problem is that I’m going to the Tower.’

There’s Black Dragon’s proposal that I already accepted, and also the new unique skill I’ll gain from clearing the Tower.

One reason would be enough, but there are two reasons?

How can I accept this.

It’s an offer I can’t accept even if I want to.

I turned my gaze away from Seong Yu-mi, who still had a dazed expression, and grabbed a juice can rolling around.
