Episode 052 #54 Hunter’s true identity

pop!

The fireball I shot collided with Lee Cheol-geun’s body and made an explosion sound.

For safety, in addition to Min-young, a medical team and hunters with healing abilities from the Mage Tower were deployed.

It was a tense moment.

Everyone held their breath and looked at the situation ahead.

The smoke created by the explosion slowly cleared and Lee Cheol-geun was seen.

“Huh, it’s hot. I am fine.”

He untied his crossed arms and unlocked his abilities, grinning.

“That’s great.”

I didn’t even lower the firepower.

It was similar to Lizardman’s physical strength, but he endured it.

To think there was such a great tank among the tanks.

“Lee Cheol-geun, this is the last question.”

“yes.”

I sat down and asked the most important question of the finals.

“What kind of existence is a hunter, Lee Chul-geun, in your opinion?”

It didn’t take long for my question to be answered.

“I consider this trait obtained through Awakening to be a gift from God. At the same time, it must also be a curse.”

“A curse?”

“Yes, what is clear is that these abilities are a double-edged sword for everyone. I was able to transcend my body and use powers I had only imagined. I honestly think it’s a miracle that a world war never happened.”

After saying that, Lee Cheol-geun took a deep breath and said.

“So I think Hunter is the Guardian. As the saying goes, with power comes responsibility, I wanted to use this power to protect it. I am driven by that sense of mission. I applied to the Avengers because I thought I couldn’t do it alone.”

Lee Cheol-geun’s eyes as he spoke his thoughts seemed as strong as his character.

It gave me a good impression because I wondered if a person with a well-centered mind would be like this.

Looking at the team members, everyone was nodding their heads.

“I heard you. Congratulations on advancing to the next round.”

“Is that true? thank you thank you.”

Lee Cheol-geun was sincerely happy and left.

The main line continued and I entered the 50th division before I knew it.

“Please come in next time.”

“No. 54.”

Hunter number 54, who came in with the guidance of the staff, had a dwarf body.

“This is Lee Seong-jun, number 54. I’ll show you right away.”

After greeting us, Seongjun Lee immediately pulled out two daggers from his waist and showed off his dazzling dagger skills.

“It ends here.”

Lee Seong-jun, who talked while catching his breath, could not find any other strengths other than being agile.

[It’s heterogeneous.]

At that time, Gilliant pointed out something strange.

[He is hiding his real self.]

‘How do you know that?’

[You know that divine power is different from mana, right?]

‘so?’

[There are people who can use holy power and mana at the same time. A hunter named Lee Seong-jun, it’s not divine power, but he has other powers besides mana. But I don’t know what it is. It is covered by something.]

If so, what questions should I ask?

“Can you show me anything else?”

I looked at him carefully and asked a question.

“Yes, I have prepared other things as well.”

After saying that, Seongjun Lee quickly hid himself.

It was an obvious assassin’s skill.

And at the same time, Gilliant shouted.

[Magda!]

‘what? Margie?’

[Yes, it’s weak, but it leaked out as I used the technique. This is obviously Magi.]

Seongjun Lee, who had disappeared, reappeared in front of us.

He grinned and gestured how he was.

“You are good at it. I didn’t feel any presence at all.”

Seeing Lee Seong-jun’s skill, Lee Hui-hyung talked about it.

Even Soo-yeon, who has excellent agility and body vision, admired when she missed the movement for a moment.

“Thank you for a good look.”

I asked a question to Seongjun Lee, who was lowering his head.

“Where is Seong-jun’s hometown?”

“This is Seoul.”

“Have you been to Dongnae-gu in Seoul?”

“huh? Seo Jun-ah, in Seoul… … .”

I winked at Lee Hwi-hyung, who looked at me with an absurd expression at my question.

Lee Hui-hyung, who noticed, changed his words.

“Why do you ask about Dongrae-gu in Seoul?”

“Aren’t there many restaurants in Dongnae-gu?”

The people on site who overheard our conversation looked puzzled, but did not intervene.

Seongjun Lee also answered us with an expression of incomprehension.

“Yes, I have been. As you said, aren’t there many restaurants?”

“okay.”

Hearing his answer, I smiled and nodded. Dongnae-gu is located in Busan, not Seoul. By now, everyone else must have noticed something was off.

Of course, it might be that the local people are faking that they are from Seoul, but it was highly likely that they were demons in that they were dealing with demons.

I needed to watch more.

“First, tune in to the beat.”

I hurriedly wrote on the evaluation sheet and passed it on to the team members next to me.

“All right. I will pass.”

“I’ll pass too.”

Other team members also agreed with my declaration of acceptance.

“thank you! thank you.”

After Seongjun Lee left, I asked the PD to take a break.

“Let’s rest for a while.”

“all right. Camera team, back up your data, everyone, let’s take a break and go!”

I called the PD separately and went to the corner.

“What did you just do?”

“It’s hard to tell you the details, could you just edit the 54th part? Please delete the original as well.”

“Because of that question, of course I had to edit it. Dongnae-gu is in Seoul, what is this… … . However, deleting the original is a bit difficult.”

The PD just said that as if the situation was absurd.

“It looks like they are trying to infiltrate. At least PD-nim would know that he was lying after hearing the answer earlier. So how can you not?”

“Are you infiltrating? Are the hunters also planting industrial spies for each other?”

“Let’s say something similar. Wouldn’t that be a reason for deletion?”

“under. If it leads to legal problems, it will serve as evidence.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. I will do it quietly.”

“Yes, I guarantee that. If you have any problems later, let me know.”

Lee Hwi-hyung approached and said to PD.

The PD looked at me and Lee Hui-hyung alternately, sighed deeply, and nodded.

“All right. Please keep your promise. We are irrelevant.”

“sure.”

The PD returned to his seat and other team members approached.

“what? What happened?”

In response to Lee Hui-hyung’s question, I told him what Gilliant had told me.

“Margie? Could it be a demon? So Seo-joon, who said he could infiltrate you, was right?”

“Yes, I didn’t know you would infiltrate so openly.”

“I don’t think it is outright. Gilliant, who captured Magi, and you, who revealed that you were lying by asking such questions, look more amazing.”

“Yeah, if it wasn’t for Gilliant and you, I would have been tricked into recruiting you.”

At Soo-yeon and Min-young’s words, I shared what I was thinking.

“What are you talking about. I need to recruit you.”

“what? Recruiting?”

“Where else is this opportunity? You might be able to reverse the trend of the demons by looking at them. If you do well, you will be able to find the base where they are hiding.”

“Should we use it instead?”

“yes. After the election, only false information is leaked to Lee Seong-jun. Then you can confuse them.”

“What if it’s not a demon?”

“Even if you’re not a demon, you should keep it by your side and figure out its true identity. It’s embarrassing to just let it go.”

Hearing my explanation, Lee Hui-hyung nodded his head in agreement.

“surely. that would be better If we cut it off here, they’ll try to get in another way somehow. Or threaten like last time.”

I also agreed with my brother’s thoughts.

Gilliant had the same idea.

[Thought well. Leave the bastard’s surveillance to me. If you don’t know, you don’t know, but if you know, you should use it.]

‘Could there be another guy?’

I asked thinking that I should prepare for the case when there is not one person.

[Relax. I was just on my way to the waiting room. The only thing that is different is Seongjun Lee.]

If so, it was safe.

“Then, let’s continue drawing. I have to drop more than half of them today.”

There were no problems in the audition that started again.

Among the 300 people, there were a few that stood out and we picked them.

A total of 120 people went up to the second round like that.

We had about 30 people to choose from this audition.

I felt like I could go through one or two auditions and go to the final stage.

*

“First of all, the first barrier has been crossed. We have about two more to go.”

“Good work. Was there anything special about it?”

“I have seen the diversity of human abilities. I will organize the unusual abilities and upload them.”

In a corner of an alley, a low-class demonic fan, who played Lee Seong-jun, communicated with Kelly using a mirror-shaped communicator.

“I get it. If there is anything unusual, report it right away.”

“yes.”

Pan, who finished the report and put the mirror in his bosom, turned around and thought his heart stopped.

“omg! who are you?”

A man stood in front of the plate.

“Oh, he was just passing by. You seem to be talking to yourself… I wonder if you’re okay.”

The man said so and approached Pan.

“Oh, call. I was making some calls. Don’t you care about other people’s business?”

Pan, who judged that he was a human who could not harm himself, said with a scary expression.

A dagger was in his hand.

“Whoa, whoa. calm down. you can go mask.”

The man was taken aback by Pan’s behavior and immediately ran out of the alley.

Seeing this, Pan leaned against the alley and calmed his startled heart.

‘Whoa, I was stunned for a moment. I should be more careful when reporting. Could it be that you didn’t listen to the conversation?’

The face of the man who came out of the alley began to change.

Surprisingly, the man’s transformed face was the same as when Gilliant transformed into a human.

Gilliant’s expression toward Seo-jun was filled with arsenic.

‘You really were a demon. Are you trying to figure out the abilities of these people? There’s no way. You are now in the palm of my hand.’

*

The second round was scheduled to be held three days after the first round.

In the meantime, I went to recruit one of the people I had in mind.

[What kind of person are you?]

I thought for a moment about how to answer Gilliant’s question.

‘I can’t really explain it in words. You’ll know it when you see it yourself.’

that was my answer

He was a man that is not enough to be expressed in one word.

‘The only thing I can tell you is that you’re a reclusive master?’

It doesn’t show itself very well.

So few people know him yet.

However, one skill was so great that all the guilds at the time sent all sorts of gifts to take him.

[What kind of ability is it?]

‘I don’t know the exact characteristics. However, the marksmanship is excellent and chasing someone is that no one can catch up with him.’

We only worked together once before returning.

Events are changing little by little, so I don’t know if it will happen again, but it was something that excited the whole of Korea.

The one who took the lead in tracking down the culprit was the person he was going to meet.

“Are you there? This is teacher Kwon Yi-hyeon’s house, right?”

Semi-basement on top of a hill in Sillim-dong, Seoul.

This was where he was currently staying.

[You have that ability, but you live in a place like this?]

‘I don’t know much about his past either. But I know what he’s moving for.’

profit.

“Nush? If you don’t speak the right way, I’ll shoot you.”

The muzzle of a long rifle protruded from the crack in the slightly open door.

Crazy hunter, Kwon Yi-hyeon.

Unlike his relaxed Chungcheong-do tone, the content was bloody.

I said with a smile and raised my hand.

“My name is Elementalist Seojun Yoo. I came because I have something to talk about with the teacher.”

“Nothing to talk about. Go back.”

To him who was about to close the door, putting the gun away, I spoke the words I had prepared in a hurry.

“We will spare no support so that you can find the person you are looking for.”

jump.

The door that was about to close opened wide.

There stood a shaggy-haired young man aiming a rifle with sharp eyes.

“From now on, I have to speak the truth. Did you know that Naga was looking for Bunny? huh?”

okay.

The surroundings were so quiet that I could hear Kwon Ei-hyun’s gun every time he fixed it.

I answered calmly.

“I’ll tell you all, so go in and talk.”

“… … Come in.”

Kwon Yi-hyeon stood aside and told me to come in with the gun still pointed.
