My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 41

Episode 41. Villain Appearance

I arrived at the Awakened Association a little past 12 o’clock.

Actually, since today was my first day, I tried to come early, but I had a strange dream and my body felt heavy as lead.

I didn’t even want to lift a finger, so I just filled my stomach and lounged around before finally coming to work.

“…No matter how I look at it, I can’t get used to this.”

I stopped in front of the full-length mirror installed in the subway and looked myself over.

The ready-made suit that Seong Yu-mi hurriedly bought me just before yesterday’s press conference.

Still, since I was going to work in Gangnam, a hoodie and sweatpants didn’t seem right, so I wore this, and it really feels surreal.

“From a construction worker to an office worker commuting to Gangnam.”

The saying about life’s ups and downs isn’t there for nothing.

Though it’s only temporary.

I loosened my neck lightly and walked toward the exit closest to the Association.

Then, I felt an unfamiliar presence approaching me from behind.

“….”

Who is it?

The moment the presence came close, I quickly turned around.

“Eek!?”

A girl who was startled by my sudden turn.

I blinked as I looked down at the small girl who didn’t even reach my chest height.

“Who, who are you?”

“You’re Black Dragon, right! I saw you yesterday!”

The girl looked up at me with sparkling eyes.

I scratched my cheek and bent down to meet the girl’s eyes.

“You saw me?”

“Yes! I heard you’re a really, really strong Hunter!”

The girl who had been breathing excitedly suddenly looked like she remembered something and took something out of her pocket.

“Could you possibly give me an autograph?”

“…An autograph.”

The only autographs I’ve ever done were scribbles when paying over 50,000 won at the mart.

I clicked my tongue softly and lightly wrote ‘Mir’ in cursive on the notebook the girl held out.

“Sorry. I don’t have a signature yet.”

“Am I your first autograph?”

“Probably.”

“Gasp! What do I do!”

The girl’s eyes widened in surprise and she stamped her feet.

Is this really such a good thing?

As I was thinking that, a pure question arose in my mind.

“But you know.”

“Yes?”

“Isn’t it time for school right now?”

I looked at the clock hanging in the distance.

The current time was 12:33.

It was time to be eating lunch at school.

At my words, the girl breathed out and patted her chest.

“Today is the school anniversary!”

“That’s nice, isn’t it?”

“Of course! So I came all the way to Gangnam to play with my friends!”

“…To Gangnam?”

“Yes!”

“How old are you?”

“Twelve.”

Already coming to Gangnam at twelve years old.

I think when I was twelve, I was just digging dirt at the neighborhood playground.

Times have really changed a lot.

“But is there a place for you guys to play in Gangnam?”

“We’re going to see the aquarium!”

“That’s pretty wholesome.”

Looking at this, maybe things haven’t changed that much after all.

I chuckled and watched the girl carefully putting the notebook in her pocket.

“Come to think of it, I haven’t heard the name of the owner of my glorious first autograph.”

“Me? My name is Han Song-hee.”

“Alright Song-hee. Play safely and go home.”

“Yes!”

I waved at Han Song-hee who checked the time, looked surprised, and ran off.

It seems the exit she needed was over there, but she ran here because of me.

“Kyung kyung kyung.”

Cheo-ri, who had hidden as soon as he sensed a presence, poked his head out of my pocket again.

After confirming that none of the people around were watching us, he came out of the pocket and climbed onto my shoulder.

“But Cheo-ri.”

“Kyung?”

“You probably don’t need to hide anymore.”

According to Association regulations, monsters shouldn’t be brought outside of Gates.

At the time, I didn’t trust Cheo-ri well and thought of him as a monster, so I told him to hide.

“But not now.”

Now I had a rough understanding of Cheo-ri.

The fact that Cheo-ri wasn’t the type to harm others without any reason.

‘More importantly, even if we walk around openly, hardly anyone would notice.’

If they had known, Seong Yu-mi or Jeong Chan-woo would have said something first.

Seeing that they saw Cheo-ri but didn’t say anything, it seems both of them didn’t realize that Cheo-ri was a monster.

At my muttering, Cheo-ri’s jaw dropped as if he was shocked.

“Kyuung….”

The guy let out an aggrieved cry that meant ‘Then why did I rush to hide?’

I stroked the drooping guy’s forehead with my index finger.

“Sorry. I should have told you sooner.”

“Kyung.”

The guy let out a cry that meant ‘It’s fine as long as I know now’ and glanced at me.

With Cheo-ri proudly perched on my shoulder, I walked toward the Awakened Association.

Fortunately, no one except Han Song-hee recognized me.

I was able to quietly reach the front of the Association like that.

“….”

The moment I entered the Association, I began to feel gazes from all directions.

Curiosity, wonder, excitement.

Various gazes pierced my skin.

That’s why I was surprised.

“Huh?”

Why is there no hostility?

I blinked and looked at a Hunter from the Awakened Association who was intensely staring at me from the side.

When our eyes met, he swallowed nervously, then suddenly bowed deeply and greeted me.

“It’s, it’s an honor to meet you, Black Dragon sir!”

“Ah, yes….”

Didn’t Seong Yu-mi clearly say that apprentice hunters get persecuted?

Honestly, I even prepared myself mentally on the way here, but there are more gazes mixed with goodwill than I expected.

After roughly greeting a nearby hunter, I headed toward the elevator.

I pressed the button and no one spoke to me until the elevator arrived.

Getting into the elevator like that, I pressed the 9th floor button and then the close button.

As soon as the doors closed, I let out the breath I’d been holding at my throat.

“What the hell.”

No one likes unreasonable hostility.

I’m sure everyone knows the reason without me having to say it.

But unreasonable goodwill doesn’t seem that great either.

It’s the first time I’ve felt something like this, and it just feels creepy somehow.

‘Maybe unreasonable hostility would be better….’

At least that’s familiar.

While I was having such useless thoughts, the elevator had already arrived at the 9th floor.

Arriving at the 9th floor like that, I walked straight to the right.

“Is this it?”

A closed door.

In front of it, ‘Seong Yu-mi’ was written in large letters.

I lightly knocked on the door with the back of my hand and turned the handle.

“I’m here for work… Hm?”

There’s no one here?

Now that I’ve come in, there’s no one inside.

She definitely told me to come here.

I looked around the interior of the room that seemed uselessly spacious and empty.

A desk and even computers.

Everything that should be there is there, but that’s why it looks so empty.

Why?

“How is it just desks and computers….”

The room is spacious enough for at least one department to work in.

The desk space was correspondingly large, but somehow there are only two computers.

The only places showing signs of human presence were in front of those two computers.

As I felt yesterday while eating jjajangmyeon with Elpinire, it seems Seong Yu-mi only has Jeong Chan-woo under her.

While looking around the room like that, I felt something strange and walked toward the wall.

“What is this?”

I felt something strange from here.

I carefully reached my hand toward the wall.

My hand touching the wall like that.

But my hand didn’t touch the wall.

It just passed through, penetrating the wall.

I unhesitatingly stuck my head into the wall.

However, as expected.

“I knew it was here.”

Beyond the wall was that familiar room.

The room that Seong Yu-mi always teleported me to whenever I left.

I wondered why she kept hiding it so much, but it was because it was hidden like this.

As I pulled my head back out, I turned around at the presence I felt behind me.

There was Jeong Chan-woo holding documents, watching me with wide eyes.

“…Did you notice it?”

“The mana here was strange.”

“To notice that. You’re impressive.”

Thud, thud.

He put down the documents he brought at his seat and pointed with his hand at the incredibly many empty seats.

“You can sit anywhere.”

I nodded and sat at a nearby seat.

“Where is Hunter Seong Yu-mi?”

“Senior stepped out for a moment. She’ll be back soon, so you can sit at any empty seat.”

Answering matter-of-factly, he began checking documents and typing on the keyboard.

Resting my chin on my hand, I watched him working diligently.

10 minutes, 20 minutes.

Even after an hour had passed, Jeong Chan-woo continued his document work at that spot.

I yawned lazily and slumped over the desk.

“This is different from what I thought.”

“What were you thinking?”

“Since it’s the Awakened Association. I thought it would always be busy with villains and such. But it’s not busy at all.”

“….”

Stop.

As soon as I finished speaking, Jeong Chan-woo’s fingers stopped typing on the keyboard.

And then he looked at me with a serious face.

“You shouldn’t say things like that.”

“What?”

“When you say things like that, always….”

Beep-!

An alarm sound echoing from the speaker.

Unlike me who widened my eyes and looked up, Jeong Chan-woo covered his face with his hands and muttered.

“-something happens….”

Jeong Chan-woo let out a long sigh, picked up the sword he had placed on an empty desk, and stood up.

-Villain group appeared at Gangnam District Saebbit Aquarium. Danger level estimated at B.

Jeong Chan-woo slightly frowned at the sound coming through.

“B-rank villains… Hunter Han Mi-reo. How about trying actual combat once….”

“….”

“Hunter Han Mi-reo?”

“Hunter Jeong Chan-woo. How many aquariums are there in Gangnam?”

“From what I remember, just one.”

“…Damn it.”

I stood up from my seat, picked up the coat I had taken off, and shouted.

“Let’s hurry!”

We need to hurry.

Because.

‘There’s….’

Someone who came out to play today for the school anniversary.

The owner of my first autograph was there.

* * *

The Tutorial Tower is fair to everyone.

The opportunity for awakening is open regardless of gender or age, and so the chance also comes to those with twisted hearts.

“Ahh….”

That’s why villains exist in this world.

Uncontrollable power has been given to those who don’t possess normal thinking.

“These poor and pitiful children….”

The gill-faced man touches the aquarium glass with his hand.

He looked at the fish beyond the glass with eyes filled with sympathy and compassion.

The fish swam freely beyond the glass wall, unaware that they were even being watched.

“Wait just a little longer. I’ll restore your freedom.”

The man who had pressed his head against the wall and whispered those words turned his head.

There, terrified citizens were kneeling on the floor with their hands behind their heads.

Among them was a single girl dressed in casual outing clothes.

“I hate humans who experiment on and gawk at fellow living beings.”

Step, step.

The man walked toward the citizens.

Trampling forcefully on the bloodied security hunter collapsed on the floor, he smiled with madness-filled eyes.

“So I’ve resolved not to show you any respect.”p>

Because humans like you aren’t even worth it.

The man slowly raised his hand.

Having raised his hand like that, the man instantly rolled his eyes downward.

“Gasp…!”

The girl who had made eye contact with the villain.

Got goosebumps all over her body at the sight of the villain looking at her and smiling.

“N-no!”

Thunk!

The sound of something being pierced.

Han Song-hee squeezed her eyes shut at the villain’s thrusting hand.

But she felt no pain.

Instead.

“Ah…”

Only the sensation of ice-cold water could be felt.

Slowly opening her eyes, Han Song-hee looked beside her.

There, water was pouring out from the thick aquarium glass.

“Let’s all return to the water together.”

Crack, crackle.

At the ominous sound coming from behind her, Han Song-hee slowly turned her head.

There, the entire glass of the massive aquarium had huge cracks running through it.

It’s collapsing.

The water is overflowing.

Like that, the glass began crumbling starting from the punctured section.

Just before Han Song-hee, who was closest to the hole, was about to be swept away by the water.

[Smoke and Mist – Shadowless]

Widely spread mist.

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

“Huu, huueeng…”

Seamlessly covered the cracking glass window.
