3 Rounds by Myself

18 – The life of a hunter in another world has begun (1)

“Let’s test it.”

Siwoon replied confidently.

“Ooh, then.”

I really liked Siwoon’s attitude.

Daeik immediately continued.

“There will be a soldier on the edge of the gate over there. Now I can’t even see your face. I know the soldier’s name. Can you look at a soldier’s name tag with those eyes on this street and tell me your name?”

“……….”

In Daeik’s eyes, the soldier’s face was also very faint.

‘If I really had that kind of eyesight, I’d be able to discern that soldier’s nameplate at this distance.’

I wonder if 3 seconds have passed.

“This is Staff Sergeant Lee Byeong-seok.”

That’s right!

What is the name of the soldier in the distance who currently looks like an ant from Dae-ik?

It was Lee Byeong-seok.

Besides, as far as Daeik knew, the rank of the soldier was precisely a sergeant.

‘I expected it, but I didn’t expect it to be real.’

To not only look at the name but also the insignia and beat them.

It was then.

“I am instructing a hunter named Jung Hyeon-sik to move on to the other world. He told me to take out the Hunter access card.”

Siwoon hesitated for a moment before continuing.

“Also, Sergeant Lee Byeong-seok is telling us to bring drinking water to quench our thirst because Hunter Jeong Hyeon-sik didn’t bring any water.”

“How do you know that?”

“You can tell by looking at the shape of your mouth.”

“…… Mouth shape?!”

Daeik’s mouth fell open.

There was a shock as if he had hit his head with a blunt instrument.

It was expected to some degree that even the soldier’s name would be correct.

It was a question that I expected to get right.

However, what Shiwoon said now was truly surprising.

Looking at the way people speak at such a distance,

What does it mean to see through what the person is saying?

It is lip reading. Lip reading is possible at this distance?’

I stroked his chin with a look of ripe, stunned expression.

Siwoon is staring blankly at the soldier.

Daeg just observed Siwoon as he was trying to catch the soldier’s name.

‘Was it 3 seconds?’

It was exactly three seconds.

During those 3 seconds, the blood vessels around Siwoon’s eyes instantly turned purple and expanded.

From the mouth of Siwoon with him, the name and rank of the soldier…

And the words the soldier was saying came out.

‘This is a level close to psychic powers.’

Dae-Rik immediately took out his cell phone from his pocket dance.

-Sergeant Lee Byeong-seok! Nice to meet you, Chairman.

From the mobile phone, the voice of a government official full of discipline was heard.

“Let me ask you something. Are you letting a Hunter in right now?”

-Yes, it is! President of the Association.”

“What is that friend’s name by any chance?”

– This is a hunter named Jung Hyeon-shik.

“…… Let me ask you one more question.”

-Speak! Association President.

“Did you just tell him to get some drinking water?”

– Huh? You’re right! Are you nearby right now?

“Ah!”

Daeik let out a sigh of relief.

-The president of the association. Do you have any business?

“I will call you later.”

-Okay! President, please come in.

Daeik finished the call and looked at Siwoon.

Siwoon is drinking coffee with a resolute expression.

‘This friend was right.’

A number of thoughts entered Daeik’s head.

What if those wondrous eyes were used in the Hunter’s abilities?

No, can that friend really use that ability?

Hunters don’t just do well with good brains and eyes.

What about Hunter?

Bodily abilities and combat sense. And the movement of the monster

The ability to react instantaneously. And depending on how you handle your equipment, what your class job is, and how hard you live your life, you can see that the hunter’s grade changes.

‘What a fascinating ability…. If that friend could use that eye in battle….’

A picture was drawn in Daeik’s head.

Very nice picture.

Daeik shook off his thoughts and said to Siwoon.

“It is true that your eyes and brain are definitely superior to others. But please don’t be arrogant. Being a hunter is not a very easy job.”

“I understand, President.”

“Your ability is highly valued. So you and I are sickening right now. Do you know that being able to have a conversation with me like this is impossible for a normal hunter?”

That’s right.

What does it mean that the president of the Hunter Federation and the low-ranking Hunter are sickle-footed alone?

It was no different from having a meal between a private soldier and the Minister of Defense.

To make eye contact with Dae-ik, who grabbed both power and wealth, and have a daily conversation, it was possible to be at least an S-class Hunter.

How much more about Siwoon, a new F-class hunter?

It was an honor itself.

In this place,

If it wasn’t for the result of the hunter qualification test and the voluptuous eyes, it would never have been possible for Siwoon today.

What about Hunter? Because it belongs to a class society with severe discrimination.

Siwoon bowed his head.

“I will keep this in mind, President.”

“Let me tell you one thing. News of your perfect score has spread, and several companies have their eyes on you. Don’t be proud of it and think deeply about it. In particular, don’t fall into the lure of money and sign a sponsor contract with any company.”

“I understand.”

After speaking, Daeik stood up.

A man wearing a suit immediately approached Daeik.

“President, it is time to go.”

“Has it already been that time?”

Dae-ik spoke softly to Si-woon as he adjusted his clothes.

“I will carefully watch your progress. Please don’t get killed.”

***

In front of the gate to the other world.

The blue heat is felt through Shiwoon’s skin.

“All certifications have been completed. Are you ready to go in?”

Siwoon took a deep breath at the soldier’s question.

“After- I am ready.”

“Go in.”

Siwoon opened his eyes wide.

He sees a large gate in the shape of a portal in front of him.

Into that hole, an aurora like space is swirling.

‘Finally stepping into the other world!’

His heart swelled.

Become a hunter and head to the other world for the first time.

I entered the gate with excitement.

Hey!

With the feeling that the whole body becomes light in an instant, the shining particles

I saw it.

Intense feeling that the whole body is sucked in!

…………… * ……………………

…… * ……… * ……… * ……

………… * ………… * …………

…… * ……… * ……… * ……

………… * ……… * ……………

-We are moving from the present world to the other world.

Mechanical electronics A woman’s voice was heard.

-Recognizing system……

-Scanning identity………

After a while.

A scan window with stats written on it appeared in front of Siwoon.

[Classification] Hunter [Rating] F

[Race] Human [Gender] Male [Prestige] 5 [Crime] 0

[Level] 1

[Life] 50/50 [Mana] 10/10

[Strength] 85 [Agility] 10 [Stamina] 10

[Intelligence] 9 [Wisdom] 8

[Status] OK

[Hungry level] 0 [Thirst level] 0 [Fatigue] 5

[Spare stats] 0

“…… The strength stat is 85?!”

My eyes trembled in surprise.

A report of a much higher strength level compared to other stats.

The ability of this system is determined by the value of human basic DNA.

Agility, Stamina, Wisdom, and Intelligence, including strength. The general range for these numbers is 6-9.

No matter how high it was, it was impossible for ordinary people to exceed 10.

However, the figure of ’85’ was truly staggering.

The amount of spare stats that gives you the opportunity to invest whenever you level up is 3.

But what if your strength is 85?

Even if the average person started with a strength of 10, the number of strength of 75 was added.

In other words, even if the stats given for all level-ups are invested in all strength,

It was only when the level was 26 that the number of ’85’ was created.

“……Is this the strength of my right shoulder?”

I expected it to some extent.

Siwoon’s right shoulder as well as his eyes are awakened.

So I knew that the level of strength would be higher than that of ordinary people, but

I didn’t expect it to be so morale high.

‘Amazing. Hunter life would be comfortable from the beginning, right?’

-Have you checked the database of your abilities?

“Confirmed.”

Siwoon said.

-Foster recognition verification has been completed.

Then, Siwoon’s voice is automatically recognized, and the surrounding scene slowly begins to change.

The surrounding small particles begin to clump little by little and become a lump, and then they become one landscape and gradually become clearer.

-Attempt to enter the first city of the Icarus continent. 5… 4, 3, 2, 1!

Down!

I opened my eyes.

A calm wind felt on the skin. And the sound of people shouting.

I could feel the distinctive fragrant smell.

‘This is the city of the beginning.’

A small village with overgrown trees.

And on the asphalt on the side of the road, people in distinctive costumes are walking around.

Those dressed as priests and wizards. And the guards riding horses with iron armor and spears came into view.

“..Hunters?”

“Today is the day that new hunters come in, right?”

“The newbies are coming in one by one.”

When I turned my gaze to the place where I heard the conversation, I saw blonde hair and pale skin. Women with pointy ears are buzzing.

It was an elf.

Skinny and tall, with voluminous breasts.

From the dizzyingly curved waistline to the firm pelvis.

It was amazing to see an elf with a beauty that looks like something you would only see in a movie.

‘These are the scenes I saw on TV… …. I can’t adapt.’

I raised my head and looked up to see a bird the size of a pterosaur flying in the sky.

Down!

At the time I was immersed in inspiration, I saw cracks appearing around me and a Hunter entering.

Down! Grasp!

Hunters entered one after another.

They were hunters who came from the present world like Shiun.

“Inventory open.”

After a while, a hunter wearing padded clothes shouted out loud.

Shashak!

The hunter’s outfit quickly changed into a comfortable uniform.

‘I change clothes in one second using the inventory.’

It was a convenient system.

Unlike the present world, this system that makes the sea open in the blink of an eye was really useful.

It was like a system in a fantasy game.

The Hunter, who had just changed clothes, took out a map without hesitation and walked into the village.

‘I have to move quickly too. I don’t have time to be immersed in excitement. I have to get out of being a low-level hunter as soon as possible.’

Once the goal was a general store.

***

On the way out of the general store.

Siwoon bought a scroll of safe return and five health potions.

I didn’t need mana potions because it was the beginning.

A safe return scroll was absolutely necessary.

What is the Safe Return Scroll?

Hunters fall into a dying state when their health drops below 1%.

When you are in a dying state, this scroll is automatically consumed and serves to warp the hunter to a nearby village.

It was a safe return item.

This scroll cannot be used in the Hunter Dungeon, but it can be used in all other places.

‘It’s a must-have item. Because once you die, it’s over….’

That’s right.

Hunters are not characters who live indefinitely in the game.

So once you die, you really go to the next world.

This scroll is a must-have item for all hunters, from low level to high level hunters.

‘You must have this.’

The price for each scroll is 300,000 gold.

‘It’s the beginning, so money is tight….’

Since it was in the early stages, it was natural that I had no money.

After buying a scroll and a few potions, the remaining gold was 50,000 gold.

“Haa~ Do I have to worry about money here too? They make money quickly.”

Siwoon moved to the training ground.

– A beginner training center exclusively for hunters.

Black squirrels are running around in the meadow.

The black squirrel, with sharp front teeth sticking out all the way to its chin, is the lowest level ‘1’ monster, but it’s so nimble that it’s a tricky monster to catch.

“Kikki! It sucks!”

“Why are these things so fast?!”

“Get caught.”

“..Dill hurts quite a bit.”

Hunters are hunting black squirrels.

Black squirrels were not easy monsters for hunters who had just entered the foreign world.

No matter how hard I hit it with a wooden sword, it avoided everything, and its fangs were so sharp that once bitten, it wasn’t just a tingling sensation, it was painful enough to tear my skin.

In addition, unlike the lowest level monsters, he possessed the tenacity to die by striking seven times with a wooden sword.

“Let’s go! Let everyone hunt calmly. In case of emergency, drink the potion right away!”

I heard the instructor’s voice.

As this is a training ground used by novice hunters below level 5, an instructor was needed to ensure the safety of the hunters.

Instructors had to be responsible for the safety of hunters who had just entered the other world and had no combat experience.

The instructor looked around at the hunters screaming as their flesh was ripped off by black squirrels.

‘Hmm?’

A young hunter caught my eye.

The hunter is walking towards the black squirrel with one of her wooden swords and not prepared to defend herself.

The instructor immediately shouted.

“Hey! Do not approach defenselessly! Danger…… What?”

f*ck!

At the same time as the sound,

The body of the black squirrel was torn. And that too in one hit!

Soon.

Puck puck puck!

“Jjiik!”

“Keeek!”

Screams from black squirrels poured in one after another.

‘What…… That guy?’

The hunter was catching black squirrels with one shot, one kill.

When the hunter raised his wooden sword and struck it once, the black squirrel died prematurely on the spot.

No matter how low-level the black squirrel is, it was a monster that a level 5 or lower hunter could not catch in one shot.

Puck! Puck! Puck! f*ck!

A series of dull, muffled sounds.

“Jjiik!”

“Pretty love!”

And then the screams of the black squirrels!

The instructor looked at the scene and was dumbfounded.

‘How…… You mean you sent it all at once? What level is he?’

Are you a high-level hunter?

That can’t be. This is a place where only hunters below level 5 can enter except for instructors.

Even a hunter with all strength at level 5 could not catch a black squirrel in one shot.

Puck! f*ck! Pooh!

At that time.

Pa-Crackle!

A sound was heard.

It was the sound of the hunter’s wooden sword breaking as he slashed monsters in one shot!

But what’s more absurd?

Hunter threw the wooden sword, which had been cut in two, to the ground and struck the black squirrel with his bare fist.

Paak! Bahah!

Heavy dull murmur…… Along with that, the sound of a black squirrel screaming was heard.

‘What… What is he doing?’

The instructor couldn’t help but be surprised.

The hunters around are also looking at the scene with dumbfounded faces while they have stopped hunting.

“Wow….”

“Is this the first time you see a black squirrel punched?”

“What is it?”

Hunter is booming! Black squirrels flew here and there at the swinging fist.

Suddenly, the black squirrels, sensing danger, started running away from the hunter.

Then the hunter hummed his song and took out a shrimp cracker from his inventory and swiped it on his floor.

Paak! Bahah!

Blowing a fist massage at the black squirrels that have gathered again after smelling the sweets…… Hunters are resolutely hunting.

“I lured you with sweets.”

“That is possible…… Sun?”

“What? Why do high-level hunters come here and take over monsters?!”

“Can’t Goreb come here?”

The instructor squeezed between the whispering hunters and approached the hunter.

“Hey! Wait for a sec.”

At the instructor’s call, Hunter kicked the black squirrel and then turned around.

“Jjiik!”

A black squirrel hit by a kick will bleed, turn over on its stomach, and lie limp on the floor.

“Why is that?”

“What level are you?”

“1. Ah! I just leveled up and became 2.”

“Level 2?! You… What is your name?”

“My name is Siwoon Lee.”

Hunter shook his fist and spoke calmly.
