My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 97

Episode 97. Proper Education

Gulp.

The sound of someone swallowing dry saliva reaches my ears directly.

Other than that, no other sounds can be heard.

No one moves first.

Each watching the others carefully.

A game of reading the room, looking for a brave soul to go first.

Watching that scene with my chin resting on my hand, I turned around with an “oh right” feeling.

“Everyone over there.”

“…!”

Those still staggering, unable to adapt to the distorted mana flow, trembled roughly under my gaze.

With the mana flow this twisted, they’re probably seeing three of everything by now.

I casually waved my hand at them with their frightened expressions.

“You all will be fine as long as you don’t attack first, so don’t worry. I’m interested in those things over there.”

I pointed toward the group in suits with a friendly smile.

Those people just applied for the A-rank promotion exam normally and got caught up because of me.

At least I should make sure those people don’t get hurt.

They all nodded as if they understood.

“So, aren’t you coming?”

Even though I showed such an obvious opening by turning my head like this, they won’t charge.

If they’re going to act like that, why did they swarm here in a group making such a fuss?

Clicking my tongue, I lightly flicked my hand.

[Mist – Shadow of Fog]

Hissss-

Mist extending from beneath my feet.

The mist that spread out soon rose behind me as dozens of pillars of fog.

“If you won’t come, I’ll go to you.”

Dozens of pillars rising behind me, writhing like tentacles.

Pulling up the corner of my mouth, I lightly swept my hand downward.

At that moment, all the risen fog pillars rushed down toward the group in suits at once.

“Kyaaaah!”

Whooom!

A hunter struck directly in the abdomen by a tentacle pillar crashes roughly into the wall.

Another hunter swings his sword to cut a pillar in half, but the split fog immediately reattaches to its original form.

As soon as the fog was cut, I immediately reconnected it and wrapped around the counterattacking hunter, slamming him into the ground.

“Kuhheok!”

The other hunters too.

“Get, get away! Get away!”

The hunter next to him too.

“Save me-!”

Even the hunter trying to escape.

Not one of them could overcome the fog tentacles and fell helplessly.

Watching that scene languidly with my chin resting on my hand, I quietly turned my gaze to the right.

Then I showed a small smile toward a wall that looked perfectly ordinary.

* * *

“Damn it!”

Bang!

Heo Hyeon-yun, who struck the desk hard with his fist, ground his teeth while looking beyond the glass window.

“Black Dragon…!”

Originally, this exam hall wasn’t an exam hall but a training ground.

It’s true that things other than skills are also important for A-rank hunters.

But the environment on Basement 3 was harsh enough that even A-rank hunters would have trouble enduring it.

When this space was first completed, several A-rank hunters who participated in testing even suffered side effects of not being able to use skills properly for two months due to the distorted mana flow.

So he deliberately brought him here.

As payback for the huge humiliation from last time.

With the intention of thoroughly disgracing him and breaking something.

That’s why he dragged him to this dangerous place.

But.

“Just a B-rank hunter…!”

As if to show the difference in class.

Han Mi-reo was toying with the people he had planted without moving a single step, just by flicking his fingers.

That alone was infuriating, but now he was even making eye contact and smiling.

“I absolutely can’t forgive this. Absolutely not!”

Veins bulging on Heo Hyeon-yun’s forehead.

Even as his arms swelled and trembled with tension, his anger did not subside.

-Hmm, is this all?

It was natural.

While he was shouting in anger, not only had all 32 hunters he had planted fallen.

-What’s with using such tricks? This makes you all disqualified, right?

Even all the special magical tools that could withstand the disturbed mana were destroyed, leaving them unable to stand properly on their own feet.

He wanted to kill him.

He wanted to tear him apart alive and pull out his intestines.

A skill automatically activated by extreme anger was transforming his body.

But Heo Hyeon-yun just ground his teeth without even noticing it.

-Excuse me, supervisor.

Nonchalantly.

Pretending not to see.

Han Mi-reo lightly waved his hand toward the innocent wall.

With only one corner of his mouth pulled up, he shouted in an awkward voice.

-There are unfair participants here, so come and take them away.

Quickly.

At the quietly whispered words, Heo Hyeon-yun struck the desk hard and walked out of the control room with heavy steps.

The desk he had struck was smashed beyond recognition of its original form.

* * *

“From here to there. Take them all away. Got it?”

“…Sorry about this.”

“If you know, then do well. It’s been a while since I came to the Association, so this shouldn’t happen. Right?”

Grinning widely.

I laughed happily at Heo Hyeon-yun who couldn’t manage his expression.

Heo Hyeon-yun apologized to me again with trembling lips and dragged the unconscious people outside.

‘Ah, so refreshing.’

If he had just let me take the test quietly and pass, this wouldn’t have happened.

He’s the one who did wrong first, so I don’t know why he keeps trying to harm me.

‘I wonder if I’ll get attacked at night.’

Still, it’s funny that I’m not particularly scared.

Even though the opponent is an S-rank hunter.

Anyway, after retrieving the mist I had spread widely, I turned my head to look behind me.

The other hunters who had witnessed the overwhelming scene were fidgeting and watching each other nervously.

“What, aren’t you going to become A-rank hunters?”

“…We still seem far from becoming A-rank Hunters.”

“No, why? Give it a try. You have to make an effort.”

“…”

The man at the front looked at me with an expression that said “You’re the one saying that?”

How unfair.

I just overwhelmingly crushed them because they picked a fight with me.

Clicking my tongue, I pointed precisely at the Hunter who was looking at me with that expression and said.

“You there, you’re a martial artist, right?”

“How did you…”

“You were the first among them to regain your balance and stand up. Isn’t that right?”

The man nodded with a surprised expression.

His face was asking how I knew without even looking at his expression, but I had nothing to say about that.

It had just become a habit to spread out my mana as I learned in the Tower of the Wilderness.

Anyway, that man was the first to regain his balance and stand up.

That means he was the first to adapt to the disrupted mana.

“You still can’t seem to move mana, but you have good balance. In such cases, it’s usually martial-type Hunters.”

But I couldn’t find any special weapons on that man.

That would mean he’s a martial-type Hunter who uses fists rather than weapons.

“You’re the one who uses your body best among them. But you’re giving up?”

“…”

“Try to buy as much time as possible while moving even a little bit of mana. You know well, don’t you? What kind of change that little bit of mana brings.”

The man remained silent with his mouth tightly shut.

What I was saying might not be the correct answer, but at least from my perspective, this man was the closest to an A-rank Hunter among them.

I pointed to the woman next to him.

“You’re… a spirit summoner? How interesting.”

“Y-yes!? H-how did you know?”

“I can see them.”

Perhaps because the environment here was harsh, the spirit was drooping listlessly, but it was visible to my eyes.

“If it’s a sky-blue bird shape… is it a wind spirit?”

“That’s right!”

The woman’s eyes sparkled as if this was the first time she’d met someone who could see spirits.

Seeing that, I was reminded of Jini and chuckled softly as I spoke.

“Try your best to supply mana to the spirit. In a situation like this, if the spirit can just manifest, you could sweep everyone away.”

Like that, one by one.

After pointing out all the problems of the people here, I shrugged my shoulders.

“You’re all excellent fighters, wouldn’t it be a waste to give up like this?”

The people here were at least all stronger than those bastards I had swept away.

Of course, I could see some who were lacking to become A-rank Hunters, but even they seemed to have sufficient potential.

“So give it a try. Don’t give up.”

“…”

They quietly exchanged glances.

They looked at each other, then smiled slightly and raised their weapons.

“Here we go.”

“Yes, come on!”

And so they began their battle.

I watched them and smiled slightly.

‘It feels a bit different from the original purpose of the test.’

But still.

Isn’t this good enough?

I watched them enjoy their sparring that wasn’t quite sparring with a satisfied expression.

* * *

“…Finally, up to number 68, Han Mi-reo. I announce that all these Hunters have been promoted to A-rank Hunters.”

“Woooooh!”

“We did it, we did it!”

Cheers echoing from all directions.

I watched from the very back as they roared with joy.

‘As expected, they passed.’

The martial artist and spirit summoner from earlier had never met before, but they were hugging each other and jumping up and down.

Besides them, all those I thought would definitely pass had passed.

Although there were some who didn’t pass, their faces didn’t show dark emotions like despair.

Rather, they even wore relieved smiles as if they had figured out what they needed to improve.

“Excuse me, Black Dragon sir.”

“Hm?”

Turning my head, I looked at the man who was fidgeting beside me.

When did he come here when he was just hugging and jumping around moments ago?

I tilted my head with an expression asking why he called me.

“Thank you! Thanks to you, I was able to become an A-rank Hunter.”

“What did I do?”

“No! Because Black Dragon sir gave me advice, I was able to not give up!”

“Me too!”

“Me too!”

“I feel like I gained some teachings!”

One by one, the Hunters bowed their heads toward me in greeting.

Having suddenly become the center of everyone’s attention, I scratched my cheek.

“W-well, I’ve only been a Hunter for just 3 months, you know? It would be better to let what I said go in one ear and out the other.”

“My father told me this. Don’t let a single word that a genius says go unheard.”

“…”

The martial artist who said that bowed 90 degrees toward me again.

At the man’s greeting, I scratched my cheek with an awkward expression.

How should I put it.

It feels extremely embarrassing.

Is it because this is my first time experiencing something like this?

Nodding to show I understood, I raised my head to look ahead.

There stood Heo Hyeon-yun holding a paper.

“…”

Looking at me, he wasn’t wearing his usual angry expression.

He was making a miserable expression he had never shown before.

Reading the envy, desire, and longing contained in his gaze, I quietly stared at him without taking any action this time.

After staring at me for a while, he seemed to come to his senses belatedly and quickly turned around.

“This concludes the examination. Everyone worked hard.”

I watched Heo Hyeon-yun disappear hastily.

What was that expression about?

I don’t know the details, but there’s probably no reason to worry about it.

Erasing the expression I just saw from my mind, I lightly kicked off the ground and leaped toward the entrance.

“Ah!”

I think I heard something like a regretful sigh from behind me, but it must be my imagination.

I’ll think of it that way.

“Good work, everyone.”

With that greeting, I kicked open the door and jumped out, then sprinted down the corridor before anyone could catch me.

In the corridor, I couldn’t sense a single presence.

* * *

“Congratulations on becoming an A-rank Hunter! Here’s your updated Awakened registration card.”

I examined the newly updated Awakened registration card.

Seeing the letter ‘A’ written right next to the Hunter rank gave me a strange feeling.

‘Me, an A-rank Hunter.’

When I first entered the Tutorial Tower, I never thought I’d become an A-rank Hunter this quickly.

With a small smile, I put the Awakened registration card in my wallet and left the Association building.

And just as I was about to cross through the nearby park.

“E-excuse me!”

At the voice coming from beside me, I turned my head.

There was a woman in a pure white suit and dress shoes, stamping her feet as she looked at me.

I stared at her with a dumbfounded expression.

“It’s been a while, Black Dragon!”

“…Cheon Yu-na?”

“Hueop! You remembered me!”

Of course I’d remember.

‘She was the first person who tried to socially kill me…’

She owed me her life from the Orc that came out of the first Gate I ever entered.

The very person who gave Hunter Han Mi-reo the alias Black Dragon approached me with quick steps and said.

“If you haven’t eaten yet, could I, could I treat you to a meal!?”

A subtle ocean breeze-like fragrance reached my nose.

Facing Cheon Yu-na who was shouting with a completely flushed face, I found myself nodding without realizing it.

Just from that alone, Cheon Yu-na’s expression brightened completely as she took out her phone and called somewhere.

“Make a reservation at that place on the top floor of the department store. We’re coming right now.”

Top floor of the department store?

Reservation?

I kept floating question marks above my head as I looked at Cheon Yu-na.

After giving her brief orders, she hung up the phone and smiled at me.

“Manager oppa says he understands. Let’s hurry!”

“Wh-what do you mean manager? I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

“Ah, I see.”

As if she had realized something.

Cheon Yu-na clapped her hands lightly and said with a grin.

“You know that department store in Gangnam? Actually, I’m the owner there.”

“…?”

The department store in Gangnam – that’s where Jini and I caught that Villain together.

Back then, they said thanks and gave us all of Jini’s clothes for free.

But I know that place belongs to Hwiseong Group, one of the top three in the country.

I trembled my pupils and muttered in a small voice.

“That means…”

“Yes, that’s right. I’m Cheon Yu-na, owner of Hwiseong Department Store Gangnam branch and fourth granddaughter of Hwiseong Group, greeting Hunter Han Mi-reo the Black Dragon!”

I let out a sigh watching Cheon Yu-na, whose expression looked foolish but whose movements were precise as she bowed.

Good heavens.

Please, someone tell me this is a lie.

Please.
