Regress and Eat

After a few minutes of hiding in the room, Hibiki reappears.

When she returned, the Awakening Stone she had left on her desk turned gray. It crumbles like burnt briquettes and melts into the air without leaving any residue.

Hibiki awakens safely.

“Ahh!”

She lowers her hands as if everything was unfamiliar.

My expression was bold, but I couldn't say it easily.

I know how that must feel. The catnip I felt when I just woke up as a hunter. A refreshing feeling like every cell is awakened and reborn.

“Congratulations."

Hibiki's gaze shifts slightly.

“Now, what to boom about · · ·. ”

“As I said, once the core is activated, the probability is close to zero (0). If you're still nervous, you can continue to activate your potential Mana in the future. ”

In fact, Hibiki had nearly activated 50,000 potential Mana.

In time, too.

Now, it's time to confirm my curiosity.

“Do you see the system message? ”

“Yes.”

You asked about her potential Mana and Active Mana.

Next.

“What did you hear about your unique skills? ”

I waited nervously for the words to fall out of her mouth.

Hibiki's gaze stares into the air and reads along it.

“Multi · · Thinking. ”

It was the word I was waiting for.

Got it!

In this life, Hibiki Amano will be known as the Great Marble.

I called for joy in my heart.

‘The Awakening Method and Timing will not change your unique skills! ’

When I gather more colleagues in the future, I don't have to worry about them differing from my future abilities.

‘Just as the potential Mana is defined at birth, you may think that a unique skill is also attributed and fixed to one person. It's literally a unique ability. ’

I relieved my anxiety.

After that, Hibiki was busy reading the system messages for a while, and I waited without rushing her.

“I checked everything. ”

I proposed how to foster her in the future, just as I analyze and say the information I have now heard.

“Unique skill optimized for using magic. ”

Instead of starting with basic skills of approaching hunters like Sword Mastery or Mana Barrier, Hibiki nodded without objecting to my proposal to fill all four of the open slots with magical mastery skills.

I would be busy putting information into my head and following it, rather than picking up the pieces of my words.

“As stated in the contract, the costs of early development are borne by the Company. ”

I even added some anti-food provisions in case the terms of the contract were too generous to suspect fraud, but I didn't really worry about that possibility.

If Hibiki continues to grow like this, many guilds will continue to offer scouts. But she won't snore.

I am well aware of her nature, beyond her current fragmented appearance, and her fundamental qualities.

‘Once you get used to the Hunter industry and have a few months of training, you'll know. I'm the fastest person alive to grow up. ’

There is another reason why Hibiki is called the "doppelganger."

Although it was a tool to slaughter dungeons he hated so much, Hibiki truly loved magic.

Magic was her only interest, job, hobby. When I had a chance, I rolled the Mana around my body, wondering how I could improve the skill level of each spell.

‘Some of the magic was so overly remodeled that the system could hardly find traces of Mana patterns to guide them. ’

While other hunters tried to learn such altered magic, communication was difficult without seeing each other's mana, and there was a limit to how perfectly I could see and remember it through words and videos.

Of course, after being reincarnated, they are doing well. Most of my magic skills are upgraded by Hibiki.

‘You will teach this to Hibiki again as it is. ’

Hibiki will learn about her future achievements and legacies.

‘And then, further away. ’

This life has changed from the beginning.

“Have more questions? ”

Hibiki glanced down at the contract, hesitating for a moment.

“You said Korea is where you're going? ”

“Yes.”

“· · · Here, the name. ”

The signature of the contract I pointed to with my finger had the real name I just wrote down.

“This looks like a Korean name. ”

Alternate the name of my Western face and signature box

I disguised myself and approached her in preparation for a long-term war she refused.

I didn't have to hide my identity anymore.

“Awakening like this and scouting to Korea can be quite unpleasant for the Japanese government. That's why we go to Korea to register Hunter. ”

They'll formulate beyond offensive.

“So I had to disguise myself inevitably. ”

In fact, there was a greater reason to remove the traces that Seo Jin-wook had come to Japan.

Woof!

I took off the slime of the mask I was wearing on my face. Neither the face of a hunter to enter Korea nor the face of one that had never been used in the United States · · today only used for a brief disguise disappeared.

Hibiki's eyes slightly widened to see my bare face revealed below.

“I'll say hello again. Seo Jin-wook, please take good care of him. ”

“· · · · · · We look forward to it. ”

The slime I've never seen before in my life. Hibiki, who was staring at my face for a moment, suddenly muttered a small murmur.

“· · · · · · · More · · · · · · · Younger than you think. ”

*

I gave her a few more days to clear the area.

“I'm sorry I'm running out of time. Can I do this in three days? You don't have to take it straight home. because the company is going to pay for things like rent for a while. ”

“Yes.”

I thought it was a tight schedule, but Hibiki contacted me the next day.

“We're done here. ”

I went to the front of the house to pick her up, and Hibiki was waiting for me with a brief Boston bag, not a travel carrier.

“Is that all you got? ”

I nod quietly.

“Hmm.”

He confirmed that I am a Hunter, that I am an existing company in the United States, and that she solved her problems · ·. But this was a bit surprising.

I smile and ask. Like a joke.

“So fast, so simple. Don't you feel nervous about starting a new life with all the life behind you? ”

I was taken by a foreigner who came to me suddenly.

However, Hibiki's answer was surprising.

“No, it's refreshing. ”

It was the first emotion I heard through her mouth after I was reborn.

Although, his face was still like an ice cube.

“It's nice, really. ”

“· · · · · · Right. ”

Maybe he's just been waiting for an opportunity to leave.

From the past, which is symbolized by anxiety, fear and guilt.

*

“Here I am. ”

“Jin-wook! Welcome! ”

Nate ran out of the living room watching TV after opening a hotel visit.

“Huh? Who's here? ”

I introduced the two of you to each other.

“We will work together from now on. ”

Hibiki bows her head.

Nate says hello and asks me.

“Do you work together? So · · · Is this guy awake too? It's Hunter?”

“That's right."

“Oh, you're not an ordinary person. Thank goodness!”

Thank God for what?

“Hey, Jin-wook! Look at this. My cat threw up two more beads in between. I was keeping an eye on it. In the safest way possible! ”

The safest way?

Somewhat anxious

“Oh, wait · · ·. ”

At that moment.

Let's go!

Nate's shadow shifts, and a small child of zombies creeps out from there.

“Ugh · · ·! ”

The zombie looks at Nate, half melted and crushed, and brings his hands together.

Two Iponian crystals on top.

“Thank you, Ali! ”

“Ugh · · ·. Woohoo! ”

I see a frozen Hibiki.

We're gonna need an explanation.

“Oh, what is that · · · ·. ”

Hibiki's expression was still not even palpable.

The gaze stares at the boy zombie crawling out of the shadows.

Without saying anything.

“Huh · · · Hibiki? ”

And...

Bang!

Hibiki fell to the floor of the hotel carpet, expressionless, and dozed off.

*

After sending Nate and Hibiki to Korea, I entered via a separate flight.

Identity loaned to me by the centers.

As soon as the airplane door opened, people from the government were waiting for me in well-dressed suits.

“Bill Russell, welcome to Korea. ”

My steps never stopped while I was taking their precautions and moving.

Walk out of the airport via a dedicated screening team and board the prepared vehicle.

Black Vehicle headed to Hannamdong. I rented an entire luxury house for myself, for one Bill Russell.

‘By the way, we need to take Hunters from foreign countries from the Korean government. ’

They're here to help prevent the collapse of a Class S dungeon.

In fact, it's just as dangerous.

‘It depends on whether you value risk or return. Like the real Bill Russell, some choose Nor Risk Low Return. ’

Bill Russell, a Class S Hunter who lent his identity without knowing who I am, is now relaxing at a villa in Miami, avoiding the eyes of others. to get a convincing case through the generator. I didn't know him in my past life, but he also said he was one of the Centers' people.

“Please leave everything to your employees. Interferes with training. ”

“Are you sure you want to do this?”

“Yes.”

After sending out the staff who were waiting for chores or busy errands, I was left in the house alone.

‘Now I'm gonna take a breath. ’

I rented another house in the name of the company not far from this house and let Nate and Hibiki stay. For a while, I watched them train in and out of two houses.

Meanwhile, information has been communicated that Hunters are entering from foreign countries.

Finally, the first briefing began when all hunters arrived in Korea.

*

“Greetings. I am Han Snow. ”

“Seo Gyu-cheol.”

“Bill Russell. ”

An expedition consisting of multinational hunters, of course, also included Korean hunters. In the meantime, the briefing was led by them, as they had done their own attacks.

I was a little nervous when I faced them in Bill Russell's shell.

It was because of the cold winter rather than Seo Kyu-chul.

‘Skilled or whatever · · ·. That way, how exactly do we see the future, how far, how far? ’

If I even prophesied that I would join the expedition in disguise, I would not be omnipotent, but I would be at full capacity.

But even with that assumption, there was nothing I could do. What plan will work in front of the deceased?

“I've heard a lot about you. Thank you for your help."

However, a slightly tired expression of his face passed by with a simple greeting, just like the one he had greeted all the other hunters.

“Let's begin the briefing. ”

After an hour of debriefing and more than two hours of Q&A, the faces of hunters gathered in each country became more severe.

The hunter sitting next to me looks at me and says,

“This is a very tricky dungeon. ”

I answer bluntly.

“I see.”

“I understand you've been off the leash for three months. It must have been hard without someone my size. ”

Her name is Nicole Thompson.

He is a member of the U.S. team of centers.

It is an SS-rank ancillary hunter who is not in Korea, and she also participated in the final siege of the Eight Dungeons, which took place half a year later in her previous life.

And then, he died there.

“Hmm?"

He glances at my face and says:

“Bill Russell? I've heard of him, but he's a no-brainer. ”

“I see.”

“Yes, I'm sure I'm new at this. But · · · Not you? ”

“What do you mean? ”

I tilt my head with a smile on my mouth.

“I have a good feeling about this. It's not like you're a hunter, it's just a hunch. But · · · Because the way you look at me doesn't feel like it's for someone you've never seen before. ”

I kicked my tongue in.

He tried not to reveal it, but he read my awkward attitude.

I've had a hard time dealing with this hunter, Nicole Thompson.

‘Apparently, the death of my past life has been traumatic to me. ’

The reason was not different.

The look and feel of a man named Nicole Thompson.

They look alike.

A short blonde shaved underneath the ear. White skin, green eyes. Exquisite body type.

Similar to that listed above. More than a million people will satisfy all of these conditions on this planet.

I don't even look like him when I compare my face. When you look at the Mana pattern, of course, it's a completely different person.

But there is such a thing. The vibe of people.

The feeling of one person.

‘I have to fix this. If you keep doing this, you're going to be offended by a single blonde white woman. ’

I was reminded of Angelica, by a man named Nicole Thompson.

‘But it looked like · · · weird. ’

I shake my head and shake my mind.
