Regress and Eat

You hear a commotion behind the closed door.

Huddada-Dak!

Tsk, tsk!

Quack, quack!

Huddah!

The sound of four-legged animals rushing around the room, gnawing at furniture with something sharp. The sound of things falling on the floor. I was surprised by the noise and ran away again.

· · · Roughly so.

It feels like the nerves that were standing there because of the nightmares are sinking.

I smiled and suddenly opened the door.

He was in the room.

Standing up on the ground with my back foot, the creature that looked like a cat in a tuxedo, trying to grab an elongated tablecloth edge from the front foot, made eye contact with me.

“Grrr!”

Iponia leaps into the air, plunging her fur around her body in wonder. In the air, I turned myself into an inverted oil (U) and fell to the ground. And then I screamed, "Die!" and hid under the bed.

Close the call and say:

“How are you holding up? ”

He hid himself under the bed and kept quiet. But...

Salang, Salang.

His long, dark tail, many times the length of his body, came out of the bed, flapping on both sides.

It is no different from the bird's intelligence to think you are completely hidden if you are invisible to yourself.

Well, he's still a kid.

I see the tail of a flicker like a brush through the floor, and I laugh in ruins.

“It's trivial and cute. ”

I look around the room, filling up my stomach and wandering around the room while I'm gone. The desk watch is lying on the floor of the room and shows a scratch with fingernails all over the furniture.

I looked around for any broken things and found them.

“· · · Oh! ”

Pick up what's in the corner of the room.

It was a crystal bead that was as clear as Iponian eyes.

“Is it really worth living now? ”

Iponia vomited while I was gone.

I looked inside.

Resplendent, Mana dances while creating a pattern.

In some cases, there are different kinds of mixing, but it seems that this is only one type.

I looked in the room and didn't see you puking again.

Bend your head and lift your head under the bed. You see Iponian buttocks with their backs shrunk.

“You can increase your meals. ”

He hasn't looked back, but one ear twitches in response to the sound of my voice.

I put the orb on my desk.

Knock, knock.

Knock.

“Come in.”

Kim is embarrassed to see him in the room.

“Is this · · · · ·? ”

He muttered as if to listen to me.

“Out of memory loss mulberries already · ·? But he didn't trim his nails in furniture before. ”

I heard Seo Jin-wook used to shine so much shit alone in the room.

“Relax. It's not me. He looks like a cat. He did this to me in his sleep. ”

Notice the tail with his gaze extended on the floor.

“You did?”

“Yes, let's sit down. ”

As soon as he realized it was nothing, he started briefing.

When I touch the handset on my wrist, a hologram appears in the air.

I read it and expressed some disappointment.

“You haven't heard anything about Angelica yet, have you? ”

The middle report was about the men who raided us a few days ago when we went to the black market.

Facial photography and hair dressing were done before snakes ate the bodies.

“Yes. I did a pretty thorough investigation on these guys instead. ”

I read holograms all the way.

“They haven't officially declared a guild. They are registered as freelance hunters, but in reality they have their own organizational system and are responsible for guild or corporate dirty quests. ”

As I listened to the explanation, I was looking at the face of a person on a hologram.

“An intermediate boss who has been found to be involved in this matter. ”

I'm talking about the man in the picture I'm looking at.

Sharp tears to the sides, dazzling eyes, and a particularly angled chin.

The one I know.

I see. These guys were involved.

I've never been directly involved in anything in my life, but I'm getting a detailed picture of who they are.

“Seung-hyun Ma, 47 years old. According to information registered with the Hunter Administration, it is a Class C Hunter and no affiliation whatsoever. ”

Kim said, broadcasting covert footage of where Mae Sang Hyun was seen.

“That's all the information we've received so far. ”

Kim looked as if he was waiting for the following instructions.

I pretended to be thinking about something and said,

“Okay, give me some time to think before I decide the next step. In the meantime, the information may be updated. ”

“Yes.”

It's a lie that you actually need time to think.

The plan is already firmly in mind.

If I said it like that, I didn't really say it because Kim's secretary was surprised and objected.

I pretended to have serious concerns while hiding my insides.

Kim again cautiously suggests.

“Still, you don't want to share internally, do you? ”

“Yes.”

“Very well. I won't ask that part any more. ”

“Well done. ”

“No, sir, but · · ·. ”

He glanced at me several times before and asked, looking at the green beads I put on my desk.

“What the hell is that? Looks like an artifact to me. ”

I knew it. Hunter's not going anywhere.

He noticed that the bead was made of a material not found in this world.

“Sir, are you there?

His eyes glittered with anticipation and curiosity.

“Is that something to do with your unique skill?! ”

I thought you'd like to ask, but I think I've been patient until the end of the report.

The look on his face suddenly made me feel like joking.

I pick up the green bead.

He gave Mana a slight wrap and lightly threw it to Kim's assistant.

“Touch it. ”

He draws a parabola and grabs it with one hand.

Let's do it!

Hwa-oh!

“Ugh, what the hell! ”

Suddenly, Kim was embarrassed by the light, but he knew it wasn't a threat.

That's great, too. Clumsily trained Hunter would have jumped out of his seat in the flash of light like a spring.

Anyway, he blushed, looking into his missing hand.

“Oh, my God, you guys! What is this!”

The green beads of the dungeon disappeared as though they had been implanted into the palm of his hand as if they were part of the scalp. It looks like you have a black feather thread in your hand.

Seeing that, he looked half embarrassed and slightly stiffened his face to see if his thoughts were crazy.

“Sir, is this your unique skill? You throw a ball and it grows hairs in the right spot? ”

He mumbles nonsense and gathers Mana in the palm of his hand and burns all the roots and fur.

Bloop!

That's a neat one. The more I look at it, the more unusual I am.

He looks at his sleek hands and writhes.

“No, it should be called a hairball Hair ball or a hair gross ball Day growth ball · ·. Wow, whatever it is, it's really useless! ”

You seem genuinely disappointed.

I have corrected a misunderstanding around that point.

“That cat resemblance threw up a bunch of things at night. ”

I found only one, but I found several and experimented with others and said as if I knew.

This is the unique power of Iphonia. When you give a skill card, it sometimes vomits like that, but when you break it, the effects of the skill are reproduced even if you don't spend much.

The number of beads depends on the condition, fitness, and nutrition of the subject.

I think I vomited on this one because one of the skill cards I gave you last time was a [promotion] card.

Kim's eyebrows were raised to the top after hearing the explanation.

“I'll wake you up? But I didn't break this orb. The Bead Robbers are very weak, aren't they? ”

I answered.

I deliberately manipulated Mana into a bead and broke it a few seconds later.

Kim's eyes became bigger when he heard it.

“No, sir, didn't you wake up yesterday? ”

“That's right.”

“That level of Mana control requires at least a few years to roll over. ”

You mutter as if you don't believe me.

“Well, it's not unusual to put a needle through a man's head. Hey, boss, how long have you been out lately? ”

You didn't have to hide this.

With my answer of 70,000, Kim opened his mouth in fear that his jawbone would fall off.

“Chi, chi, chi, chi! ”

“Yes, 70,000. ”

Kim breathed heavily, expressing his face just before he died.

“Oh, my God! ”

Pupils are shaking.

“I've been expecting this since before I woke up, but it's really more than I imagined. Every time you ran into Mana, we talked to each other about how it wasn't necessarily proportional to our personality and abilities. ”

As expected, Secretary Kim never stops talking.

He mumbled at 70,000, 70,000, and suddenly he remembered.

“The guild leader wants to disclose this externally? ”

“I don't know.”

Seo Kyu-chul seemed to think training was the first thing at the moment.

I think I will decide by looking at my growth speed in the future

“Then · · · ·. ”

Kim's secretary looked crazy because he wanted to ask what his unique skill was, but refrained from telling me if he thought it would be easy.

Instead, he tells an unexpected story.

“This could be even more disturbing if the unknown people who were trying to contain you find out. Actually, I heard a story just before I got off work yesterday. ”

Kim explained that.

“I haven't seen you in person since you woke up, but I heard that the Constabulary called for the Guild Master for a moment. ”

Definitely did.

I didn't know what was going on out there, but I saw the face of Seo Gyu-chul who had come back very reminded me. Like you didn't even hear me say it.

Kim seemed to have figured it out.

“That's the thing. ”

His expression became serious.

“We have a snitch in the Hunter administration. About a week ago, about you. ”

“Push? About me? ”

“It is an unknown complaint and the contents are true · · ·. ”

I shake my head like it's ridiculous.

“We were caught violating the 'Special Youth Protection Act on Hunter Awakening Conditions’ in our guild. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Look at this?

A picture is about to be drawn in my head.

“We artificially created the situation in our guild and accused Park Chang-hee of having deliberately attacked the anaesthetic team leader and attempted to rouse him, and it was successful. ”

Among the two ways to become a hunter, there is one option that was once the only one that is rarely used now.

Facing the threat of life.

However, of course, the Celestial Dragon Guild will argue that this is nonsense.

I've already prepared the Awakening Stone. Why?

Does that make any sense? You couldn't wait a week to do something like that?

“Why would you do that if you could wake up legally in a week? ”

“That's what the Constabulary thought, so instead of going on a raid at the time of the report, they waited until the day they were revived as Hunters. One week later, if I put my hand on the Awakening Stone, I know I didn't do it before. · · · But it's not supposed to be like that. It's a little convenient on the part of the guild leader. ”

I put my hand on the chin.

“If they just enforced the law · · · ·. ”

“You must have broken in a week ago and brought in the captain. I would have gone through a test with tools other than Awakening Stone to avoid Awakening in case I didn't know, and if the result had been Awakened, the Team Leader would have been unable to work on the Celestial Dragon Guild forever. Of course, it was a meaningless assumption that there was no possibility of such a outcome. ”

To make a report like this in the first place, a snitch must have one firm conviction.

· · · I am confident that I am awake just a week before Seo Jin-wook's 19th birthday.

I think the snitch had that belief.

Once the Constabulary examines it, it tells them that I woke up early, but without believing it, it makes no sense.

And the whole point of snitching was to...

“I think it was intended to permanently exclude me from the Celestial Dragon Guild. ”

Anyway, it sucks.

This guild, it still smells.
