My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 43

Episode 43. Daily Life of an Association-Affiliated Hunter

Request for support.

Less than 5 minutes after saying those words, the hunters who came as support arrived at this location.

I requested them to rescue the civilians.

“Th-thank you, Black Dragon sir!”

“We survived thanks to you!”

“That was incredible!”

People only gave me their thanks after being rescued by the support hunters.

Since I didn’t even have the energy to wave my hand, I was just lying there limply when I raised my head at the sight of polished dress shoes entering my vision.

“Hunter Han Mi-reo. You’ve worked hard.”

“…Who’s going to take over that wall for me?”

“It seems difficult right now. We need someone skilled to cover the entire aquarium.”

I don’t know who that skilled person is, but hurry up and call them!

My head is about to explode!

This is really reaching my limit now.

The only difference is that my nose isn’t bleeding, but my head hurts even more than when I used ‘Haze’ to cross the ravine.

Then, the air split open and the owner of a familiar face popped out.

“I heard a villain appeared! Where is it!?”

“It’s already over, senior.”

“You’re late, Hunter Seong Yu-mi.”

“Uh…”

Seong Yu-mi looked at the two of us who seemed relaxed and the fog filling the wall, then scratched her cheek.

“Wh-where’s the villain?”

“In there.”

I pointed my finger at the fog filling the wall.

Seong Yu-mi blinked several times, then cleared her throat and shouted.

“A-anyway, don’t worry. S-rank Hunter Mage King is here-.”

“Never mind that, I’m releasing the fog now.”

“What? Wait…!”

Ah, now I can finally breathe.

* * *

Soaking wet Seong Yu-mi looked at me with resentful eyes.

But what could I do about it.

I really was at my limit, you know?

Quietly avoiding her gaze, I poked the limp villain with my toe.

“He was underwater for quite a while, he’s not dead, right?”

“From what I can see, he’s a transformation-type skill user who turns into a shark. Judging by the gills, he should be able to breathe underwater, so don’t worry.”

I nodded to show I understood.

“Now this villain will be arrested and taken to the Awakened Criminal Detention Center.”

“The Awakened Criminal Detention Center, you mean the one inside that Gate?”

“That’s right.”

Sudden Gates disappear without fail after 48 hours have passed.

But Regular Gates are different.

Regular Gates are exactly that – gates with no record of ever disappearing.

That’s why people found ways to utilize these Gates.

One of those methods was building unwanted facilities like the Awakened Criminal Detention Center inside the Gates.

“Depending on the trial results, he probably won’t be able to come out of the Gate for about 20 years.”

Awakened crimes are treated as serious crimes regardless of their type.

Although it ended in an attempt, the fact that he’s a terrorism suspect doesn’t change, so the sentence won’t be light.

“So Black Dragon? How was your first real combat?”

“It’s quite complicated.”

Fighting while considering the environment to protect someone was harder than I thought.

Especially for me, who had been handling everything with a single punch until now.

Seong Yu-mi nodded as if she understood.

“That’s our daily life. That’s why the pay is good though.”

Seong Yu-mi grinned and made a circle with her thumb and index finger.

“Cases like this will be commonplace from now on, you know? So let’s head back too. We need to go rest.”

I nodded at Seong Yu-mi’s words.

The only ones left in the aquarium now were me, Seong Yu-mi, and Jeong Chan-woo.

The other hunters had already restrained the villains who came with this guy and transported them to the surface.

“I’ll handle taking him.”

Reaching out my hand, I restrained the villain with fog.

Skipping the procedure of having to use ‘Black Dragon’ made it so easy and convenient.

Gripping the fog with one hand, I dragged the villain along as I walked toward the aquarium exit.

* * *

“It’s your first deployment today, and you were absolutely amazing, Black Dragon!”

Seong Yu-mi laughed heartily while patting my back.

She gave me a thumbs up and said.

“If you keep this up, maybe we’ll find him soon?”

“I wonder about that.”

What I did today wasn’t much.

I just saved citizens as a hunter.

All I did was fulfill my assigned duties at best.

“Oh my, Black Dragon. If you say that, people around you will curse you.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“Do you know how many people there are who can’t fulfill their assigned duties like Black Dragon did?”

“…”

Is that so.

I scratched my cheek at Seong Yu-mi’s words.

Seong Yu-mi chuckled as she watched me.

“If it wasn’t for Black Dragon, all those people there would have died or gotten hurt. So be happy!”

“Yes, well.”

If an S-rank Hunter says that much, I should accept it.

Seeing me finally nod, Seong Yu-mi made a satisfied expression.

“But the cleanup took longer than I thought.”

At Seong Yu-mi’s words, I looked at my watch.

After finishing all the cleanup and returning, the hour hand was already pointing to 6.

“It’s already 6 o’clock.”

I came to work late today, so I lost track of time.

I didn’t expect time to pass this quickly.

“Then, shall we wrap up here for today and clock out?”

“Sounds good.”

“Let’s do that.”

I nodded and wondered what I should buy on my way home.

Seong Yu-mi and Jeong Chan-woo stared at me intently.

“Huh? Why?”

“Black Dragon. It’s rush hour so there will be crowds of people, will you be okay?”

“I’ll be fine, probably.”

I managed to get here by myself just fine.

Only one person recognized me in all of Gangnam, so it should be fine…

“It won’t be fine.”

“Huh?”

Jeong Chan-woo was twice as serious as usual.

He looked straight into my eyes and said again.

“It absolutely won’t be fine.”

“It was fine when I came here though?”

“Hunter Han Mi-reo. Please check your phone.”

Jeong Chan-woo, who’s only two years older than me, spoke with a serious expression.

This makes me feel like I’ve become an uncle who’s 10 years older even though I’m actually younger.

I turned on my phone in frustration and gradually widened my eyes.

“…?”

MuTube has a system called trending videos.

Literally a system that shows the most popular videos at the current time.

“Why am I here?”

From 1st to 5th place, all of them had the word ‘Black Dragon’ in their titles.

Among them, the 1st place video had a huge thumbnail of me sitting slumped against the wall of black mist.

“Black Dragon seems to have the qualities of a superstar.”

“I agree.”

“I set the stage, but how did he become this famous in just two days?”

“I very much agree.”

I don’t know either.

I just did my best in the role I was given.

I clicked on the video in panic to check the comments.

-Black Dragon is insane (16k likes)

-Info) That person is a newbie who came out of the Tutorial Tower less than a month ago (22k likes)

⨽But he came out of the Tutorial Tower at exactly 4444.4 hours lol (5.2k likes)

-Isn’t he too weak to have defeated a Sudden Gate alone? Other B-rank Hunters could probably do that much (72 likes)

-Whoever says he looks weak is really blind; Why? When Black Dragon first fought, his right hand wasn’t human. In other words, he’s a mutation-type unique skill holder, which means Black Dragon fought while excluding his right hand from the start (38k likes)

⨽Assuming the Sudden Gate testimony is true, Black Dragon sealed his right hand because he judged that using it might cause the aquarium to collapse (16k likes)

⨽Then what’s that black mist? (309 likes)

⨽I don’t know that either lol (107 likes)

-From his right hand when he first appeared to covering and blocking the cracked glass with black mist in one go… Is it normal that I’m feeling emotions I only felt in middle school again? (982 likes)

⨽Very normal (656 likes)

-I’m jealous of the girl who got protected at first… me too… (1.1k likes)

Negative opinions were hard to find, and even if there were any, the comments were so favorable that rebuttal posts would immediately appear.

But how on earth was the scene of me first protecting Han Song-hee and blocking the cracking glass with mist filmed?

“If you look at that video’s description, they had set up cameras in advance to film the aquarium.”

So that’s how that scene was captured too.

I nodded and just in case, I also checked ‘Hunter Net’, the country’s largest hunter community.

It’s not a place I usually visit often, but I went in just in case.

“Ugh…”

It was exactly as I expected.

Pages that kept increasing every time I refreshed.

All those pages were filled with stories about me.

Reading them one by one would take several days, so I pressed the home button and closed all the windows on my phone.

Then I smiled brightly at the people in front of me and said.

“Is there anyone who would help a poor neighbor with nowhere to go?”

Please.

* * *

Three weeks have passed since then.

Now that I’ve somewhat adapted to this job, what am I doing right now?

“He went that way!”

-Okay!

What else could it be.

Another villain chase.

After hurriedly sending the radio message, I looked at the road.

There, a red sedan was performing acrobatic driving through the road packed with cars.

“This is driving me crazy, really.”

Before becoming an Association-affiliated Hunter, I thought it was a sweet job that paid well.

But once I actually became one, that’s not the case.

Absolutely not.

I want to go back to the past and slap myself for thinking that.

“How many villain reports come in per day…!”

I’m not lying, I caught a villain just 10 minutes ago.

But another report came in, so I had to go out again.

“Why does Hunter Seong Yu-mi have to be in charge of Gangnam…”

Since we’re in charge of the area with the highest floating population, incidents happen non-stop.

I know that not a single villain has appeared in Jang-won-dong where I live for several years.

“It feels like all domestic crime originates here.”

I’m really tired to death.

Those damn villain bastards pop up day and night without discrimination.

After cursing brilliantly in my mind, I looked at the car that broke through the blocked road and made an illegal U-turn.

The car that smoothly turned in stopped exactly in front of me and rolled down its window.

“Get in.”

I nodded at Jeong Chan-woo’s words, opened the door, and got inside.

Even before I closed the door, Jeong Chan-woo stepped hard on the accelerator and drove in the opposite direction.

Since the road had been blocked in advance, there were no oncoming cars.

“Hunter Han Mi-reo. Which way did he go?”

“Turn right here… There he is!”

I pointed with my finger at the red sedan that seemed to have chosen to drive in the opposite direction like us.

Jeong Chan-woo nodded to confirm, then stepped hard on the accelerator.

The car shot forward with a vrooom- sound.

Having instantly pulled the speed up to 200km, he said in a serious voice.

“Hold on tight.”

Vrooom-!

We raced quickly down the empty Gangnam road.

Whether he felt no fear, Jeong Chan-woo’s car never slowed down and instantly overtook the fugitive.

I watched through the window and shouted.

“That thing from before, it’s coming!”

As I said, that guy is a villain.

Meaning he’s a criminal who uses skills.

The reason he was reported is simple.

Because he indiscriminately fired skills at citizens while driving.

According to Jeong Chan-woo and Seong Yu-mi, there are often bastards like that.

Crazy bastards who got high on being chosen for the Tutorial Tower and lost their minds.

Jeong Chan-woo, who had been driving while looking ahead, glanced to the side.

The window slowly began to roll down.

Soon that guy will activate his prepared skill on us.

In that case.

“Hold on tight.”

“Huh?”

Screech!

Jeong Chan-woo stepped on the brake and quickly turned the steering wheel.

Tire marks left thick on the road.

Jeong Chan-woo successfully executed a drift in the middle of downtown with godlike skill.

“…!”

The driver was startled by the car suddenly blocking his path and stepped on the brake.

Finally stopped.

But that guy would soon flee again.

In that case.

“Block him so he can’t move!”

I rolled down the window and climbed onto the car roof.

Jeong Chan-woo nodded at my words and put his foot on the accelerator.

Bumper meeting bumper.

The villain’s car slowly began to be pushed backward.

The villain also hastily stepped on the brake, but Jeong Chan-woo’s car, which had gained momentum first, didn’t stop and kept moving forward.

I stepped firmly on the unstably shaking car roof and moved forward.

“Hup!”

I smashed through the opponent’s windshield and entered inside.

“Hik!?”

The villain gasped in surprise as I entered.

Not even wearing a seatbelt, he frantically opened the car door and jumped out.

However.

“Where do you think you’re running?”

The mist flowing from my hand wrapped around the fleeing villain first.

The villain was instantly bound.

Covered in mist, he struggled desperately to escape but it wasn’t enough.

I blew off the annoying car roof with my fist and sat down on the soft seat, placing my hand on the radio.

“This is Han Mi-reo. Arrest completed.”

Phew.

Another case solved today.
