Chapter 65:

Uhm

I chose my words carefully for a moment. Of course, like a typical impatient Korean, Kang Changho didnt wait for me to speak.

Well, anyway, your real rank doesnt really matter much.

Uh, then.

It means that even the F-Class can be made applicable.

Thats because the standards are surprisingly low. Kang Changho mumbled like that with his arms crossed. My hands became damp with sweat again. Conditions can be fulfilled at any time.

Then why havent you done that all this time?

At that moment, a brief question arose. With the power of the S-Class, forcing equipment or even killing fellow awakeners should have been easy. Why did this guy still keep me alive?Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

Thats well

After hearing my question, Kang Changho raised his eyebrow as if to ask whether it was even worth questioning such an obvious matter.

An ethical issue?

But what are you talking about again?

You often treat people like they are bad guys, but I also have morals.

.

How could I recklessly kill an innocent hunter?

Is that so?

When using the improvement, I plan to reach an agreement with the parties as much as possible.

Today, among the stories weve heard, that does sound like the most reasonable one.

What if you try to reach an agreement and the other person still refuses to agree?

Bringing up the possibility of negotiation failure was a clever move, as expected. It revealed the true colors of the S-class hunter.

Ill have to think about it a bit.

Kang Changho never said he was giving up.

This is my first time experiencing something like this. Hmm, Ive never coveted someone elses skills in my life.

Even though you have Improvement?

Actually, it has quite a tight limit on usage. I have to use it carefully, so I havent paid much attention to ordinary abilities

What kind of awakened person does he think I am? But whatever he thinks, denying it now wont make him believe me. It seems like Kang Changho already has some kind of conviction.

In that case, further conversation would be meaningless. I got up with a deep sigh.

Are you going to leave like this? So, whats your answer to my proposal?

Despite my opponents relaxed tone, I ignored his words and simply turned away, leaving the cafe.

If youre going to get angry, go ahead and get angry. After all, theres nothing for me to see here as I face death.

How many days will Kang Changhos good sense of ethics last?

I left the unpleasant coffee shop behind and started looking for charnel house reservations on my phone.

Since it seems like I might die soon, Id better reserve a spot in advance.

After Kim Kiryeo left, Kang Changho also left the caf and stretched lightly. It had been a while since he had tasted this brand of coffee.

Its been quite a while since Ive been to a place like this.

Indeed, times like these make him envy the F-Class. The waiter doesnt tremble and drop change, and people around him dont faint just because he let his guard down for a moment. Is this why that hunter goes around lowering his awakening rank?

Ha.

As Kang Chang-ho pondered the conversation from earlier, he couldnt help but chuckle. It was truly amusing. To be able to calmly endure the pressure of an S-Class and steadfastly fight as a low-level awakened person.

Furthermore, the lowest of the low, F-Class.

A real F-Class would have at least pretended to think about the suggestion from earlier. Even if they were afraid of the S-Class, they wouldnt have dared to mock him lightly.

But what about Kim Kiryeo?

He flat-out rejected it with such determination.

Hes really fearless.

Kang Changho walked down the street, lost in thought. First of all, Kim Kiryeo certainly meets the conditions of the strong people for Improvement.

The problem is

If anything, he seems to excessively fulfill these conditions.

He killed Grid, so he must be at least A-rank. But is that really the end of it?

Kang Changho quietly repeated his opponents last actions.

-Whoo

-Are you going to leave like this?

The hunter, with eyes as fierce as a dry birch tree, answered his question like this.

-

He just glances at him with a dry gaze, as if they are not worth answering. Through those eyes, Kang Changho was able to realize one fact. That guy, in his head, he thinks he can handle even an S-class. Otherwise, he wouldnt show such arrogant behavior. Yeah, it would be a big problem if someone with Improvement came after him.

Hmm.

Although it has only disappeared from Seoul, it seems that killer bee nests still remain in other regions.

Lets see. Then, the detailed location.

Hadong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do and Gumi-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do. One of each like this?

Both of them are unfamiliar to me. Well, wouldnt it feel that way to an alien somewhere on Earth?

Hadong, Hadong.

At this moment, for some reason, the word Hadong-gun came to mind.

Im sure I saw the word Hadong somewhere, and while searching for something

But even after thinking about it for a while, I couldnt find a clear cause. So I just ignored this feeling of dj vu and packed my bag. If I cant remember it well, it was probably just some pointless web browsing.

On the way back to Kim Kiryeos studio.

Blink blink.

The traffic light flashes yellow.

Lets go at the next signal.

I calmly stopped. Because F-Classes are so vulnerable that they can easily die, so being cautious of car is absolutely essential.

And at that moment, a familiar face caught my eye as I waited for the signal.

Hmm?

Straight black hair that hangs down to her waist. And that unique, neat outfit. Now I couldnt mistake it.

Seonwoo Yeon.

The employee of the Association.

I unconsciously followed the Earthling I found with my eyes. Then, I observed some peculiar behavior. That Earthling across the intersection had both hands full of packages.

Ah.

Seonwoo Yeon said something to the elderly woman standing next to her. The old woman nodded in response. Seonwoo Yeon then immediately bent her knees and piggybacked the woman. After that, well, as expected.

Im sorry. We should have fixed this quickly, but the road is all dug up, making it inconvenient for you, right?

Oh, no. Thank you for helping. Young student.

Can I leave the luggage here?

With Seonwoo Yeons help, the elderly safely crossed the street. That was all.

Nevertheless, I couldnt take my eyes off them.

It seems Earthlings still have a conscience.

My hometown, Alphauri.

The citizens of that planet lacked ethical consciousness in various ways. It was hard to find so-called kind people there. There are various social analyses about this, but anyway, the advanced development of magic didnt bring only positive effects.

Our planet has long since run out of altruistic genes.

Thanks to this, I felt new emotions just looking at scenes like this.

Shes kind.

I felt a small liking for Seonwoo Yeons action. And at this moment, the traffic light turned green. As I crossed the street, I ran into Seonwoo Yeon. She had been standing here all along, seeing off the elderly.

Hello, Seonwoo Yeon-ssi.

Yeah.

Its been a while since I saw you. Where were you going?

I gave a natural greeting, impressed by my own smoothness. Who would ever suspect me of being an alien after witnessing that?

I just came out to grab some food. Its lunchtime for the association as well.

Aha.

Since all my team members are out on fieldwork today, I thought Id grab a quick meal alone.

As expected, Seonwoo Yeon accepted the greeting without any problems. Although her expression was a bit stiff.

What brings you here, Hunter Kim Kiryeo?

Im on my way home.

Then the direction is the same. Im thinking of going to that snack bar over there.

After a brief conversation, we ended up walking together for a while since we happened to have similar paths. However, there wasnt much small talk exchanged between us. Because we didnt see each other often in the first place.

The conversation ended sooner than I expected.

I glanced at the sidewalk block for no reason, trying to forget the awkward silence. It was just one of those moments.

That, Kiryeo-ssi.

Seonwoo Yeon, who had been quiet so far, suddenly speaks out her first words. I turned my head to that voice. What I saw was Seonwoo Yeon, who looked somewhat nervous.

Uh, I know this might be sudden, but actually, Ive had something to tell you.

Yes?

If you havent eaten yet

The hunter hesitated for a while and finally made up her mind.

Can you give me a moment?
