My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 45
Episode 45. Did I Go Too Far?
Whoosh!
The Hunter’s fist rushes toward me.
Since they have something called thinking, they began attacking in a way that no longer stepped on the fog.
As expected, the future of our country’s Hunter world is bright.
Then I should properly face them from now on.
[Fog Return]
Black fog rising around my body.
Wrapping the fog around my body, I lightly avoided the punch swinging toward my head by simply ducking.
When I easily avoided their desperate strike, the Hunter’s expression became unsightly and distorted.
I twisted my body as is and gifted a footprint to the Hunter’s face.
“Gah!”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Hunter rolling away unsightly and tumbling.
But I didn’t have the luxury to give that Hunter any attention.
Starting with him, the Hunters who figured out how to counter the fog began rushing at me like bamboo shoots after rain.
“Whoa.”
Swoosh!
A sharp blade passes dangerously close right in front of me.
So you’re really thinking of killing me properly?
I can’t feel any sense of holding back just because it’s a test.
This is too much.
What did I do to deserve this treatment?
The Hunter who had swung the sword quickly readjusted their stance and swung the sword again.
The flowing combination is quite smooth.
Perhaps from facing Villains for a month, I can tell their skill level at a glance.
This Hunter is quite skilled.
In that case.
[Smoke Fog – Fog Blade]
I should face them with my own blade.
Black fog beginning to condense on my right leg.
As I swung my leg widely, a fog slash flew along the trajectory of the swung leg.
The sword-wielding Hunter raised their sword as if trying to block rather than dodge, but.
“Kugh…!”
The sword shattered quite easily.
And the Hunter was swept away by the slash and sent flying.
‘They didn’t die, right?’
I deliberately swung gently though.
After paying my respects to the Hunter who flew far away, I quickly moved my feet.
[Smoke Fog – Flying Above Fog]
Boom!
Fog exploding from beneath my feet.
Using that recoil, I flew up into the sky.
The Hunters who suddenly became like dogs chasing chickens looked up at the sky with bewildered faces.
Having flown up high enough to reach the ceiling, I rotated my body 180 degrees in mid-air.
As if the ceiling had become the floor.
Placing both feet on the ceiling and fixing my body with fog, I looked down at the Hunters from the upside-down world.
“One, two, three…”
There are still quite a few Hunters standing.
Surprisingly, there were no magic-type Hunters among them.
They had long since exhausted their mana while casting spells and collapsed from exhaustion, so they couldn’t stand.
Hunters capable of ranged attacks aimed their weapons at me in the sky.
Guns and bows.
And various other ranged weapons.
They released their bowstrings and pulled their triggers toward me without hesitation.
However.
“Damn…!”
The black fog evenly spread around my body didn’t allow such pathetic attacks to penetrate.
Arrows and bullets falling to the floor without even getting close.
One Hunter holding a bow spat out rough curses in frustration at the fact that their attacks could never reach.
“Tsk.”
Now I’m starting to feel a bit sorry.
When the test started, they rushed at me without a moment’s hesitation, so I also attacked them seriously at first.
But somehow, the more I do this, the more it’s turning into me mocking them.
Even from my perspective, they look pitiful.
They’re desperately rushing at me, but they can’t inflict any damage on me.
If I were in their position, I might have been frustrated too.
‘…Or not?’
Anyway.
This won’t do.
Just once.
I should do it properly just once and give them a chance to attack.
I released the fog that was fixing my body to the ceiling.
My body falling due to gravity.
While still upside down, I quickly scattered fog toward the floor.
Several streams of fog shooting out, winding like snakes.
Those fogs bound all the Hunters on the ground.
“Ugh…!”
“Let go!”
“What is this!”
Hunters struggling after being bound by the fog.
I wrapped not only those who were still conscious, but also those who had lost consciousness and collapsed, all in fog.
Of course, I completely wrapped and protected them with fog.
And then.
[Smoke Fog – Rampage]
With my right hand compressed full of fog.
I carefully struck the ground.
Rummmmmble!
The impact of an explosion rising with a tremendous roar.
“Ugh!”
“Kyaaaah!”
Crash!
The massive explosion’s aftermath indirectly rushes toward the bound Hunters.
The Hunters who had already fainted and weren’t protected by fog had to helplessly be swept up in the explosion’s aftermath with their hands and feet tied.
After the explosion’s aftermath swept through the area once.
I released the binding fog and muttered.
“…Did I go too far?”
I was going to be serious just once, then give them time to attack from now on.
But using ‘Black Dragon’ seemed too serious, so I just used ‘Rampage’ instead.
Somehow, after doing that, all the hunters were looking at me with expressions of lost will.
“Well, shall we stop here?”
Click.
Seong Yu-mi descending from the sky.
She lightly shook the timer she was holding in her hand.
It displayed that there were 10 minutes remaining.
“There’s about 10 minutes left, but does anyone object to ending the test?”
“….”
No response.
They couldn’t respond in the first place.
None of them were in a state where they could speak.
“Wow. Black Dragon. Aren’t you tired?”
“Why?”
“Is your mana still fine?”
“My mana… is okay.”
It actually feels like it hasn’t decreased at all.
Why is she asking about that?
As I tilted my head in confusion, Seong Yu-mi waved her hand as if it was nothing and snapped her fingers to summon a chair.
Sitting on it, Seong Yu-mi flipped through the papers she was holding and spoke.
“The first person to pass is naturally our Black Dragon, Han Mi-reo.”
“Oh.”
Well, it was worth working hard.
I nodded my head with satisfaction.
“And the second person to pass is participant number 352, Kim Chul-su.”
“…!”
Swoosh!
The man wearing a gray hoodie lifted his head to look at Seong Yu-mi.
She smiled at the man’s gaze and said.
“Actually, the villain subjugation was a lie, and we evaluated your combat abilities and mindset during that process. Of course, if you had successfully subdued Black Dragon, everyone would have passed.”
After saying that, Seong Yu-mi began calling out the names of those who passed in order.
In conclusion, the promotion test that 100 people took resulted in about 10 people passing, including myself.
“This concludes the February B-rank promotion test. Thank you all for your hard work, and see you next time.”
Wave wave.
Seong Yu-mi waved her hand and disappeared in a flash of light along with Jeong Chan-woo.
“…What about me?”
Of course, I wasn’t included.
I have to go to work anyway, so couldn’t you take me along?
What am I supposed to do being left alone among these people?
* * *
Having somehow managed to get up to the 9th floor, I stared intently at Seong Yu-mi who was standing in front of the door with a big smile.
“Hunter Seong Yu-mi.”
“Yeah. Black Dragon. How was our surprise?”
“It was too much of a surprise.”
Sigh.
I let out a sigh and took off the outer clothing I was wearing.
Cheo-ri, who had been sleeping soundly in my pocket, finally opened her eyes and crawled out of the pocket.
Seong Yu-mi quietly offered a magic stone to Cheo-ri, but.
“Kyuuuk!”
Cheo-ri was just startled and hissed at Seong Yu-mi.
As soon as Seong Yu-mi learned of Cheo-ri’s existence, she bought a bunch of magic stones, which were Cheo-ri’s staple food, and offered them to her.
But no matter what, Cheo-ri wouldn’t eat the magic stones that Seong Yu-mi and Jeong Chan-woo offered.
She would only eat the magic stones that I offered.
I took the magic stone from the dejected Seong Yu-mi and offered it to Cheo-ri.
Only then did Cheo-ri begin eating the magic stone deliciously.
“Still, I think I understand why you did this, so I’ll let it slide.”
“As expected of Black Dragon. You understand without me having to explain.”
Every time I appeared on TV, there were definitely more posts expressing doubts about me.
Is it really true that he handled the Sudden Gate alone?
Did he really defeat the Orc Lord?
Didn’t the Association intentionally create a hero by falsely promoting someone who isn’t that strong, and so on.
They really started suspecting me for all sorts of reasons.
Most of those doubts will probably be resolved by today’s events.
Of course.
“The doubts about Black Dragon won’t completely disappear.”
Those who want to be suspicious will be suspicious to the end.
That was something neither I nor Seong Yu-mi could help.
Seong Yu-mi nodded as if that was exactly right.
“Next time you’re going to do something like this, please tell me.”
“I’ll do that. If there is a next time.”
“Ah….”
Right.
I had gotten used to it and forgotten.
I won’t be here in a week.
Scratching the back of my head, I said to Seong Yu-mi.
“Please take care of me until then.”
“That’s what I should be saying.”
* * *
Time really flies by quickly.
To think that today is already my last day as an Association-affiliated hunter.
Since it was also my last day, I woke up at six o’clock and left home to get to work early today.
“Kyuung….”
Perhaps because it was too early, Cheo-ri was still drowsy and dazed from sleep.
I was going to just let her sleep and leave, but she still insisted on squeezing into my pocket.
If that’s what she wants, what can I do about it?
In the end, Cheo-ri joined me on the commute to work today as well.
“Are you… Black Dragon?”
“Ah, yes.”
As I dealt with incidents that occurred day by day, my recognition naturally increased as well.
As a result, even though I was bundled up in the early morning hours, people began to recognize me.
I nodded and gave an autograph, which I had now gotten used to, as I headed to Gangnam.
Arriving in Gangnam like that.
Since I arrived before even 8 o’clock, the lights were off at the Awakened Association.
“No one’s here.”
The Awakened Association operates 24 hours.
It’s not like Sudden Gates or villains don’t appear just because it’s nighttime.
However, official work hours start at 9 o’clock.
Since I came an hour early, it would be normal for there to be no one in the lobby.
“Phew.”
Since there was no one around, I took off my mask and hat and took the elevator up to the 9th floor.
“In the end, the culprit who erased Hyung’s records never appeared.”
One month.
Absolutely not a short amount of time.
I worked my ass off for an entire month to the point of being reported on the news, but he still wasn’t approaching.
“Should I hold a press conference or something.”
After today passes, I’ll probably enter the Tower.
If that happens, there’s a high chance I won’t be able to come out for several days, so just revealing everything about hyung to the world might be one way to go.
“…No.”
I clicked my tongue softly and shook my head.
It is one method, but the risk is too great.
If hyung is alive, the culprit might retaliate against him.
Having arrived at the 9th floor with such thoughts, I turned the door handle.
“I’m here for work…”
My words trailed off as I stared at an unfamiliar broad back.
A white-haired old man with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing out the window.
He slowly turned his head back and spoke.
“What an honor to meet you like this, Han Mi-reo. To think you’d come to work this early. I’m glad I’ve been waiting since morning.”
Snow-white hair.
Golden eyes.
A long scar running from his right eye down to his cheek.
And hands covered with countless scars.
I know who this person is.
Even if I didn’t, everyone across the nation would know this man.
“My name is Kang Yong-chan. I’m embarrassingly the man serving as president of the Awakened Association of South Korea.”
Kang Yong-chan, president of the Awakened Association of South Korea.
At this point in time, the head of the Awakened Association who wielded power as strong as the President was waiting for me.
Lost for words, I stared at Kang Yong-chan with my mouth agape.
“I heard today is your last day.”
“Yes…”
“Could you spare me some time?”
I nodded silently.
When the current most powerful person tells you to come, you have to go…
At my response, Kang Yong-chan smiled with satisfaction.
“Then let’s go to the President’s Office. It would disturb Yu-mi and Chan-woo’s work to talk here.”
And so I followed Kang Yong-chan up to the President’s Office.
“…”
It was the beginning of an uncomfortable time.
