The Protagonists Are Murdered by Me

Slash Discussion Competition (3)

Serdam fixed an awkward tie. He wore a suit that didn't look good on him, even in a trench coat. It was good to join the International Swordsmanship Discussion Competition as the official villain of the Costantini Elder, because he said he had to wear a costume with minimal courtesy.

But he couldn't have had a robe, so Celeste eventually prepared a suit for him. It's still a custom, high-end suit, so your ears are running, and your fit is pretty good, whether your muscles were gangsters or not.

“(It looks great on you.) ”

It was Celeste.

“Wow, that's not a fucking match. ”

It was Taylor.

Serdam loses his words and shuts up. Taylor tapped him on the shoulder.

“Uh-huh, whatever. It's worth a look. ”

The absurd narrative asked her.

“Why are you here? ”

At the moment, the sermon was in the Lost and Found.

Whether this year's swordsmanship debate was prepared diligently since it was decided to be held in Korea, the playground has changed considerably more than the memory of Seodam, making it awkward. And since Taylor doesn't fit in this place anymore, it's ridiculous.

“What do you think? It's time for me to rest after the mission is over. ”

Taylor says that and looks at the narrative with a shrugged eye.

“But you look a little younger, too. ”

“What?”

“Is there anything good on your skin? Why don't you share it with your friends? ”

“If you put a bar on your face like that, I'll draw another Aether bullet. ”

“This crazy wheat duck · · ·. ”

Tailor Tooltipper Cheleste said.

“(I think it's time.) ”

Today was the gathering place of swordsmen from all over the world. For this reason, people from the entrance who carried cameras or ordinary people who came to see the swordsmanship duel, as well as superpowered cops and officials who opened a street vendor or controlled them, saw some prominent hunters.

Of course, Celeste and Taylor were quite noticeable, with quite a lot of people approaching to greet and cover the story every time they passed by.

“Miss Celeste. This sword · · · ·. ”

“(I don't know Korean.) ”

“Hunter Taylor! Why did you come to the discussion today? ”

“Get lost.”

They cleaned out all the approaching people in their own way. Of course, unlike Taylor, who does everything without covering his face, when the right journalist or official came to him, he turned on his translator and answered politely.

Unlike many busy women, the sermon is almost unknown, so no one pretends to know her.

It would have been.

“Hey, aren't you the historical hunter? ”

“ · · ·? ”

As someone calls to you, the sermon turns its head.

I knew him, but I had never met him.

S-rank Hunter Lee Jun-seok from the Velvet Guild, one of Korea's top five guilds.

He was one of the most famous hunters in Korea.

“I didn't expect to see you here. Haha, nice to meet you. ”

“Yes, nice to meet you. · · · But what's going on? ”

Once I received the greeting, I asked him with a slight tremor. Joon-suk told me not to misunderstand.

“It's nothing. I've seen you clear the Malformative Dungeon before as a Duo, and you've neatly commanded the dungeon mutation of the S-rank. You were amazing.”

Then, Joon-suk Lee also greeted Taylor and Celeste. However, his eyes were watching the narrative. In fact, something was awkward. She's staring at herself with two hunters worth noting.

Lee Jun-seok naturally walked to the Jamsil Movement Ground with a sermon. Taylor frowned, but separately from him, he had a conversation with Joon-suk for a moment, thinking that it wouldn't be a bad idea to build a personal friendship with him.

“Actually, my skills have nothing to do with swordsmanship. But I wanted to see the martial arts of the masters. ”

“I see.”

Of course, most of the time, Lee Jun-seok was chatting, and Seodam was the one who beat the ball.

“Isn't it hard to have a swordsmanship debate or a duel? It used to be, but it's different now. This. Traditional swordsmanship buried a lot of fortresses. ”

“That's right.”

“That's why you work like a big event. It's not a black spectacle. ”

I feel more sorry for myself than the swordsmen without a sword. Lee Jun-seok pointed quietly at those who passed by. Some ‘master’ class artisans were passing by, but Lee Jun-seok felt sorry for them.

“I'm not the kind of people who would show up at a place like this. ”

The word master seemed to mean a skilled swordsman, but in fact, I would have put a rank on it if I had.

Master.

Unfortunately, it was a term used to denote those who did not acquire superpowers, so even the young superpowers who Awakened the E rank did not win.

Of course, they have kept the vein of the sword unbroken even in modern times, and they are treating it somewhat because of the fact that the sword of the superpowers was born, but it was also treated more like a superpower.

Because they couldn't do anything when the anomaly happened.

I'd rather shoot an Aether Gun than swing an Aether Blade with an ordinary person's body.

· · · · · · Normally, such common sense was embedded, and until recently, so was the narrative.

But not now. Unfortunately, the only problem was that the Earth's sword was too far behind, and the sword itself was not a problem. There was a limit to swordsmanship in a world without Gui and Mana.

Of course, the Saddam also did not feel very good about this swordsmanship discussion. After all, the Swordsmanship Discussion was full of the myths of unstoppable martial artists.

“That's why I don't really like the artist of the Association of Masters called 'Arren’. ”

“Arlene?”

I didn't think I'd hear that name here, so Seodam tilted his head. At the same time, Taylor raised her eyebrows and said that she was publicly furious, but she couldn't be seen by Lee Jun-seok because her brow was hidden in a strange location.

“Yes. Have you heard of it? ”

“Of course. But why? ”

“Arlene, he takes his place in the Master of the Sword Association. ”

“Ahh · · ·. Did you?”

“Yes. By the way, they say they're coming out as swordsmiths this time." You know the name of the swordsman, the Okamoto family, Sanagi? It was the twenty raising of the steel of the C rank, and it became a topic. ”

“I know.”

It was a rival position in Celeste.

“Arlene, he's teaching his eldest daughter in the Okamoto family. Well, I get it. because it's much more efficient to invite a skilled practitioner who has the same strengths than a normal practitioner. ”

Moreover, he is a superpower with a strong S rank.

“The Okamoto family must be prepared. Well, I've been pushed around by the Costa Ricans for almost a decade, and now I have a chance to build my pride. ”

Salvatore, Celeste's father, was a strong and concurrent prosecutor of the SS-rank. But Sanaki's father, Issai, was still a Srank prosecutor when he came here. I had the title of the same swordsman, but I was so proud of that one simple difference in the alphabet.

But now, their generation is dark.

It's their generation now.

Okamoto Issai was trying to recover his pride by beating Salvatore's daughter.

“Hmm · · · · · · · · ·. ”

I never thought things would be so complicated behind us. In the meantime, the determination of Celeste to take Frank himself as a criminal was great, and Salvatore who allowed it also felt like a great deal.

Talking like that, I walked into a playground that had almost turned into an event. There were a lot of people dressed in robes suitable for the swordsmanship discussion, but someone approached Lee Jun-seok.

“Sir, are you here? ”

After entering the room, Lee Jun-seok, who was constantly talking to Seodam, finally stopped speaking. There stood a woman in her mid-20s.

“Hey, didn't Hee-joon go to the front desk? ”

“What are you talking about, seriously? How am I supposed to get in there alone without you? Who is he next to? ”

Hee-jeong glared at the man walking with Lee Jun-seok. She is a superpower from the Velvet Guild, such as Jun-Seok. She was once a topic by demonstrating C + rank flame system abilities immediately after her first Awakening.

If anyone was talking like Lee Jun-seok was excited, he thought he was a celebrity, so Hee-jin lit up his eyes.

“Yes! This is Hunter's legacy. You're a Frank hunter. You've been active for 15 years. You've heard of it, haven't you? ”

“· · · Yes? F rank?”

Unlike Lee Jun-seok, who said that it was really great, Lee's gaze suddenly subsided. But she's also a three-year hunter. I had adapted to social life to some extent, so I did not struggle with it, but it was obvious to anyone that the reaction had dried up.

“Ahh · · ·. Yeah, I think I've heard of it. Nice to meet you."

However, I was more embarrassed than a grave proverb because it was Lee Jun-seok who did not know the reaction.

“Hahaha, he doesn't know anything yet. ”

“· · · · · · · Yes. But it doesn't matter. May we be excused? ”

Seodam grabbed Taylor's mouth and hands and said, sweating on Lee Jun-seok.

It was because it was quite difficult to seal this Pandora's Box, which seemed like it would burst immediately. No matter how many celebrities like this, it is troublesome to get the attention of bibliophiles because of their double insults.

“Ah, haha · · ·. Excuse me. We'll be going now, too. I have to defend my position as long as I'm representing the guild. ”

“Yes.”

After saying goodbye, Lee Jun-seok turned away first and told Seodam as if he remembered later.

“Oh, and... I hope you'll join us for this year's Korean Hunter Discussion. · · I have a question about Hell Gate. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

With that word, Lee Jun-seok hurriedly left with Hee-jeong. After walking for a long time, when Taylor and his sermon finally disappeared, Lee Jun-seok stood her up and said.

“· · · Hee Jung. What did you just say to him? ”

“Huh? Well, it's still an F rank hunter. Isn't he just a regular guy? ”

Even the story was not a celebrity, and people who knew that they had just been kicked out of Lost Day were publicly listening. So, Ji-Jung said as if to ask how many sections, Lee Jun-seok's tone suddenly got cooler.

“· · · Yes. A hunter who has survived on the battlefield for 15 years as a mere mortal and was even born at Hell Gate. Do you understand what I'm saying? ”

“Ah, ah · · ·. That's great, but... ”

“Ahn Hee-jeong.”

Lee Jun-seok sincerely told Hee-jin as if he was pathetic.

“I know you've been stalking me around trying to make connections. And since you're such a great benefactor, I'll give you that. If a good successor makes good connections through me, I don't think it can be as good as that. ”

I felt that I was caught inside, or that Lee Joon-suk had known about it since a long time ago, Ji Ji-hyung kept his mouth shut and sweated.

“So I tried to make a good connection for you again. Though the time I met him was short, I tried to earn his favor for that short time and tried to give you the effort I made. But you kicked it with your feet. ”

“Ahh · · ·. Sorry · · · · ”

“What a disappointment, Hee-jin. ”

That's what Lee Jun-seok said. Then he turned around and went ahead. Hee-jin stayed behind and rolled his head, clutching the edge of his clothes.

However.

I still couldn't understand.

That's not because she's a haunted A-rank hunter. You are not even part of the 5th Guild called Velvet. Not because she's a dreamy 20-something who chases celebrities around.

Just as a pure man.

‘Replacement · · · · · · · · · · · · ·. What about Frank's Hunter? ’

I've heard the stories of the past quite recently. He was involved in two pretty big cases. However, more than the fifth year of the A-rank she knew, veteran hunters reacted tremblingly even when they reported the incident.

‘Uh, well. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Kind of, isn't it? ’

The malformation dungeon the other day, didn't Taylor clear it? According to the output, there is also an SS-rank. ’

‘F rank. Seems kind of smart the other day. · · But there are limits. ’

Fifteen years. I've been without superpowers. That's amazing. · · Well, I'm taking another 3-year C-rank to the bar to take him. ’

"Yes. Even if I use it as a porter, wouldn't C rank be more useful?" ’

After hearing their story, Ahn Hee-jeong also made some strange sense. She was, of course, a battlefield experienced by her elders, a world ruled by superpowers.

‘I really don't know.' ’

While she was seriously worried, Lee Jun-seok quickly walked down the hall.

Lee Jun-seok.

A ten-year veteran S-rank hunter.

Seen and heard more than the chaotic Hunter as he has been in the Hunter industry for a long time, which is why he knew.

Hell Gate. What does a hunter born in hell mean?

He was too talented to receive the thousand for just being an F rank. Perhaps, if not for some ‘craftsmanship’ on Lost Day, he would have been making a name for himself all over the world.

‘I blew it. ’

Lee Jun-seok silently kicked his tongue. I would have had a more nutritious conversation with him by now, if it hadn't been for the interruption.
