Arena, Alien hunting

“I'm going to my cabin in Jincheon Military. Are you okay with that? It's an unpopular little cabin in the mountains. ”

Chairman Park Jin-seong asked.

I nodded.

“Yes, with you. ”

“Haha, why is that? ”

“Excuse me, but you're a hostage. ”

In my words, President Park Jinsung laughed.

“Clever fellow. I like it.”

“It's an honor.”

It was uncomfortable for the men in the driver's seat and the passenger seat.

The measurements traveled along the Southern Highway arrived at the destination after a run of about an hour.

The car entered a mountain range of Jincheon Military in Chungcheon, North Chungcheon, stopped in front of the cabin at the end of the narrow mountain pass carefully.

The men came down first and opened the door.

“This is my villa. ”

Surprisingly, it was an ordinary cabin. I thought it would be great to have the big business president's villa.

“Why did you put a vacation home in this place? ”

I was curious.

Chairman Park Jin-seong smiled.

“A hunting ground. Now is the time for hunting permit. ”

“Ah……. ”

“Last year, I used to come every year and hunt for days. I didn't think you'd make it this year. ”

Chairman Park Jinsung gladly headed to the cabin.

An old man of similar age appeared in the cabin. He was a moderately sized old man who appeared to be the caretaker of the cabin.

Park Jin-seong said with his arms spread out.

“I'm here, my friend. ”

“Ouch, Chairman! ”

“What are you doing? Just say your name. ”

The old man ran and hugged Chairman Park Jin-seong.

“Chairman! I thought you weren't coming this year. ”

“Tsk, did you hear about that? ”

“Yes, how worried I was when I heard that. ”

“You heard it from my son. We'll all go when the time comes, don't worry. ”

“Hehehe……. ”

“Why is he crying again? Prepare for the hunt. ”

“Yes, yes. ”

The old man went inside, and President Park Jin-seong turned to me and asked.

“Do you hunt? ”

“Yes.”

“Breakfast is as simple as hunting together. What do you think?”

“No problem.”

I've been doing that the whole time in the arena.

The old man brought a backpack full of something, two shotguns, and a big shepherd. That looks like a trained hunter.

I was carrying a backpack, quite heavy.

When Chairman Park Jinsung pushed in a shotgun, I shook my head.

“I have my own gun. ”

“Oh, is that so? ”

Chairman Park Jinsung went on a hunt with his shotgun, ammunition, and Shepherd's collar. I ordered the men to follow me.

“Wait here until I call you because you two are coming. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

“Well, I'm thrilled. ”

“Yes.”

And so began the hunt.

Hunting together with President Park Jin-seong, the richest man in South Korea, the protagonist of a living success myth.

Looking at Park Jin-seong, who was working hard up the mountain next to me, I felt a strange feeling.

“You look sick. Are you okay? ”

“Oh, please don't say that. This is gonna be hard.”

Chairman Park Jinsung sat on a rock and breathed.

“My body's broken now, so I climbed up a little bit, but it looks like this. Tsk, I had a hard time last year, but it's over now. ”

I felt lonely on Chairman Park Jin-seong's face.

When I saw it, I had an idea.

The conversation with the senior manager earlier, and perhaps President Park Jin-seong...

“Is that why you have business with me? ”

Chairman Park Jin-seong smiled.

“That's clever. ”

“You're welcome.”

Probably a death sickness.

He chose Arena as the last means to overcome diseases that cannot be cured by modern medicine.

Extremely eager to come and see me, the sun chick tester. Maybe you got information that I have a different main skill.

“I don't have anyone else. Show me your gun. I'd love to see that. ”

“Yes, armed! ”

The Moshina River appeared and was caught in my right hand. Chairman Park Jinsung was not surprised that he was already familiar with several examiners.

Instead, when Chairman Park Jin-seong saw my Moshina River, he was lively with the gaze that had been immersed in the darkness.

“Hey, that's not Soviet. Give it to me!"

After handing over the gun, Chairman Park Jinsung liked him like a child who received a toy.

“Hey, good timing. He's older than I've ever been. ”

“Do you know the gun? ”

“Of course! I'm your gun mania. The hunt started with a lot of shooting fun. I collected a bunch of rifles and handguns from my vacation home in California. I have it with the Soviet Union and the Finns. ”

As expected, a gun is a man's object.

I was Park Jin-seong, who liked playing around with the Moshina River.

Chairman Park Jinsung gave the Moshina River back to me.

“But you don't have enough Karma to use an old gun like this? ”

“Yes.”

“Quick, get more Karma and turn it into a anti-automatic rifle. ”

“I wish I could. ”

“Hah, what should I do, anyway? I can't hunt because I'm in worse shape than I thought. Oh, I wanted to shoot once... ”

“Then the hunt will be over soon. Can you walk for an hour or two? ”

“That's it. Can you do that?”

“Yes, Sylph! ”

Meow?

When Silf was summoned, Park Jin-seong's eyes widened.

“What's that? ”

“It's a spirit.”

“A spirit? Ah, a spirit? That's why your main skill is unusual. ”

“Yes.”

I instructed Sylph.

“Tell me where the nearest mountain beast is. ”

The silk nods its head and snaps and disappears. A few moments later, the seal returns and points to the left with its front foot. Then I wrote the number 174 on the ground.

“Rabbit?”

Silf shakes his head.

“Deer? Gora? ”

Silf continues to shake his head.

“Boar?”

A nodding silk.

I told Chairman Park Jin-seong.

“Boar. Let's go. ”

“Sure."

As we walked together, Chairman Park Jinsung looked at the elongated silk like it was strange.

I've instructed Sylph again.

“Get rid of all our smells and sounds. ”

Mmmm.

From then on, we could not hear our footsteps.

Park Jin-seong was even more curious.

Soon, Sylph pointed ahead.

Hiding in a dense forest, I looked ahead, and I saw a Boar. He was so big, he didn't even notice we existed.

“Do you want to shoot?”

“Sure. Leave it to me. ”

Park Jin-seong pointed his shotgun at a boar.

In case of one, I also aimed at the Moshina River. If Chairman Park missed, I was going to shoot before the Boars ran away.

But it tilted.

Phew!

The shotgun was fired and blood burst into the boar's flank. The silence of the shield does not ring.

Park Jinsung shot the staggering boar one more time.

Puck!

Again with the body!

The boar died instantly.

“Wahaha! We did it!”

President Park Jin-seong rejoices like a leap. You never thought you'd be able to hunt again, being sick and dying.

“What an amazing spirit to hunt so easily. ”

“Yeah, it's great, Sylph. ”

Silf, in my compliment, slaps me on the cheek with his tail.

“Hey, you don't even need this sandwich for breakfast. How about this for dinner? The old man in the cabin is a great cook. ”

“Sure."

“Wait a minute. I'm gonna call the kids and have them come get him. ”

“No, I'll just carry it. ”

“Huh? This big guy? ”

I approached the dead boar. I grabbed my hind legs and shook them on my back. Hundreds of kilograms of wild boar sounds quiet. It was thanks to the Stamina Calibration Beginner Level 5.

“Looks like you've learned your stamina. Is that level four for beginners? ”

“Level five.”

“Really? Wow, it's probably the third time. You're growing fast. ”

You're neither an investigator nor a lab official, but you're very keen on the investigator.

I could see how interested Park Jin-seong was in the arena.

When we returned with the Boars, the cabin was in disarray.

The cabin attendants, as well as Park Jin-seong's attendants, were frightened.

“No, did you catch the Boar? ”

“Haha! What do you think? You're pretty good at this tomorrow, aren't you? ”

“Ah, you're amazing! ”

“Hahaha! Well, he almost caught it. We haven't had breakfast yet, so let's just cook with this guy. ”

“Oh, yes, of course. I'm sure you'll be hungry, but I'll bring it to you with my skills! ”

The old man began to dismantle Boars skillfully.

Cut the stomach, remove the organs, cut the ankles, and peel the skin with the help of Park Jinsung's attendants. I watched as I admired the old man's pretentious hands.

Chairman Park Jin-seong said as he boasted.

“That old man is a real master hunter, actually. If I didn't pay you every month, I'd be happy with a gun and a dog. ”

“Yes, it looks like you're not doing it once or twice. ”

How many times have you trimmed the mountain beast in the arena? You can see how skilled the old man is.

After a long time, we were able to eat. A dish containing spicy seasoning was made by barbecuing Boar Meat. As Chairman Park Jin-seong said, the old man was also excellent at cooking.

I thought of something luxurious as a meal with the chairman of a large business, but this was not bad either. I would have been burdened with such a formal, high-end restaurant.

Seeing that he enjoyed hunting together, Park Jin-seong seemed to want to have a good relationship with me.

At the end of the meal, the old man brought me a glass of red wine.

“Thank you. I'll talk to you in a minute. ”

“Yes.”

The old man also withdrew.

The president and I were left alone in the front yard of the cabin.

President Park Jinsung tasted a sip of wine, then opened his mouth.

“What's the most important thing in the world? ”

“Life.”

There was no hesitation in my answer.

Park Jinsung nodded with a happy expression.

“That's right. That should come out right away. When you're asked questions, you shouldn't think about other things like money. ”

“I agree."

“You know why I go around looking for testers and paying attention to the arena? ”

“Yes.”

“I'm just like you. I'm trying to stay alive, too. People are born and eventually die, but they're still alive, so they'll try to live until they close their eyes. ”

“ ……. ”

“So I'm going to ask you straight away. Is there a cure for my illness? ”

“I don't know. There are medicines for wounds like healing potions, so there are also medicines for diseases, right?" ”

“Not that I know of. I've asked a lot of investigators for help, and no one's done anything yet. The arena can heal wounds, but it's not in the arena to heal them. Your world is much more unexplored than Earth's. ”

“ ……. ”

“But one thing I can hope for is skills. ”

“Skill?”

“Yes. They say that healing potion was made by magic. My hope is that there may be an examiner who has learned the skills to cure diseases like that. ”

Freeze. Skill?

When I heard that, I remembered skill synthesis in my head.

… maybe?
