I Became the Weakest Summoned of the Genius Summoner

376 – Things We Take for Granted

Hyun Il-hwan was more interested in monsters than anyone else in the world, and was also a person who hated them.

From an early age, he loved looking at monster guides, just like other children who loved dinosaurs.

Creatures from another world, giant monsters.

Still, whenever I see a new type of monster being discovered, it’s hard to control my excitement just like when I first awakened my magic.

But on the other hand, because of them, I felt sick of it every time I suddenly found myself forgetting the joys of everyday life.

“Woo-seok.”

“Yes, brother.”

“I’m not eloquent, and I don’t have the confidence to change you with just words. From now on, you should follow me and subdue monsters.”

“Yes, yes?! Me? Me? No, you say you mainly kill monsters that are equivalent to great monsters? Do you think I can survive against such an enemy?”

Wooseok was scared.

Hyeonjunggildo, Hyeonilhwando.

He was able to endure such work calmly because he had amazing mental strength, but it was a life that an average hunter would have a hard time surviving even for just half a year.

Having to battle monsters every day and be covered in the blood of those disgusting things. It was terrible just to think about it.

Even the story I heard said that they didn’t even offer any special compensation for the monsters they caught, so I couldn’t help but be even more reluctant.

“Woo-seok, think about what you did. I couldn’t bear to open my mouth to those who came as guests. Even if everything went according to your plan, what would we have gained? Did you really intend to harm those young hunters?”＜ Br﹥

“I didn’t mean to do that…! I’m sorry…”

When Wooseok saw Il-il’s clear eyes looking straight at him, he felt even more fearful and lowered his head.

‘Damn… I can’t even look at those eyes.’

Wooseok thought he was really ugly.

“From the perspective of others, there should be a minimum punishment that is acceptable. You will announce to the public that you will participate in the subjugation of monsters and take time for self-reflection. Please understand that this is so.”

“… I understand… I understand.”

Part of me sighs as I see Wooseok with his shoulders drooping.

However, for Il-il, Wooseok was someone who had to be dragged along at all costs.

That’s why I was holding back with superhuman patience the desire to pick up a stick right away.

“It’s hard work, but it’s rewarding. It’s good to train alone, but if you gain this experience, you will definitely be able to grow like you’ve never experienced before.”

“But brother…! What’s the point of it if no one recognizes it? I haven’t understood that since I was young.”

“······.”

It is said that the articles about monsters that appear in the media account for less than one-fifth of the actual incidents that occur.

Surprisingly, the reality was worse than that, and the balance of the world was finally being restored due to the presence of hunters working in secret around the world, including Hyun Joong-gil.

However, as Hyun Woo-seok said, it is a story of hidden heroes that no one knows.

Wooseok didn’t like that.

And there was some understanding in that regard.

“Woo-seok… Just follow me and see. I’m sure you will feel something.”

“… I understand.”

Hyun Woo-seok could no longer say no in this situation.

Little by little, he was realizing how absurd what he had done was.

‘For the time being, let’s follow like we’re dead. Then I saw an opportunity…’

Wooseok became uncomfortable with Ilil at some point.

He couldn’t remember when it started.

Anyway, I wanted to get away from the group as soon as possible and start working on my own again.

If you show some level of sanity and achieve results, you will be let go.

And Ilwon thought as he looked at Wooseok, who had a calm expression on his face.

‘It’s obvious that you’re thinking of getting away with it in moderation.’

However, when you actually jump into the battlefield, you will soon realize how childish that thinking was.

I was so busy these days that I couldn’t even afford to take care of my cousin’s feelings.

A task that is close to punishment, where you are plunged into hell every day and fight against terrible monsters.

Moreover, due to the recent increase in the number of monsters, the team he led was also losing a lot of strength.

His colleagues became mentally exhausted.

Even if all the physical strength that came to mind was recovered, mental strength was not easily recovered.

That’s how someone goes crazy and leaves.

Some people can’t bear the loneliness and leave to find love.

Someone even died after being swallowed by a monster.

The group he belonged to, called the successor to the Sword Saint, was no exception to the severe shortage of manpower.

‘I have to drag it out somehow. Because I’m sure I have talent. I need to raise it well. First, go to North Korea and do your part…’

And since Wooseok was an essential part of what Il Ik was planning, it would have been difficult for his growth to be delayed here.

“Just go. We’ll be leaving right away tomorrow, so pack up the necessary luggage in advance.”

“My, tomorrow?!”

“It would be better to move your body before useless thoughts arise.”

“Uh… I understand.”

Il Il-il shook his head as he saw Wooseok staggering out of the room.

That’s how they ended up walking together in an unexpected way.

And after Wooseok left, Ilwon looked at the ceiling and said.

“Youngah.”

“Yes-“

Someone who did not appear answered in a gloomy voice.

“The level of Hyun Joong-seop’s rampage has gone too far. When did he complete the medicine?”

Some people even called him by his first name instead of just calling him uncle.

“It’s been about two months.”

“Didn’t you tell me that you had intentionally twisted Kilbad’s recipe?”

“I’m sorry. It seems that the alchemist we recently recruited was more skilled than I thought. He figured it out quickly.”

“The reason I placed you next to Hyun Joong-seop was to prevent that from happening. It is too early for the medicine to wear off. If it wears off early, it will be difficult to plan later.”

“······.”

“This incident will cause Ilseom’s reputation to fall even further. The name Ilseom that my father worked so hard to build…”

Ilwon knew very well how much his father worked for this world. But as the days passed, fewer and fewer people recognized his efforts.

‘It’s something that shouldn’t be taken for granted…’

Therefore, my resentment was growing day by day.

Some people are risking their lives to protect the world, but some people are blinded by power and do foolish things.

“Whoa – Jang Yu-chan said he would try to control it. Soon this matter will become known to the world. Please give the media some food. Please throw something big enough to cover up this level of deviation as trivial.”

“I understand.”

“And… I realized one thing while listening to the story about this sparring.”

“What is that…?”

Ilwon touched his forehead for a moment and said.

“When Gunseop first used the medicine, the reaction of the opposing hunters was a bit strange. ‘Doyeon’ told me that.”

“If you say it was strange…”

“They said it felt as if they knew about the existence of the drug in advance. Of course, they pretended not to know, but they couldn’t have escaped ‘Doyeon’s’ sense.”

“…”

“There are rats in our guild. Weed them out. There are definitely some who have been affected by the charm type. Look first at the children who have recently joined the shadow side. They are often active outside.”

“… I understand.”

There was silence for a moment.

Ilwon nodded and said one more thing.

“A child named Heo Min-sol…”

Those were just those words, but the being named ‘Young’ could immediately tell what he wanted and what he was saying.

“We will handle it as soon as possible.”

“Um-“

Ilwon nodded and made a small gesture.

Hyun Il-hwan is now left alone and enjoys solitude.

“My father shouldn’t go on like this…”

His voice, as if he was reciting a pledge, was full of firm determination.

*

The next afternoon, we gathered at a quiet cafe.

“I will tell you about the information I learned from attending the meeting and the disposition of Hyun Woo-seok.”

Joo-a got to the point as soon as all her colleagues gathered

First of all, it was the case of Hyun Woo-seok, who broke this incident.

“It is said that Hyun Woo-seok will participate in the subjugation of monsters for the next three years.”

“Wow…”

“Really?”

“That’s awesome. Isn’t that a very severe punishment?”

“That’s right. We don’t always encounter monsters with information, so it’s like fighting with our necks stretched out all the time.”

It is already a well-known fact that some transcendentalists, including Hyun Joong-gil, are taking the lead in subduing monsters.

But from a general perspective, it was something that no one wanted to do, something close to punishment.

In fact, among hunters, there are those who get into accidents and serve their sentences wearing special magical restraints.

Among them, there are those who are highly skilled and enter into contracts to subdue monsters and sign contracts to shorten their sentences. Just by looking at this alone, one can clearly see the perception of subjugating monsters.

Because Ilseom’s Hyeonjung Gil takes on such arduous work, he is revered as a ‘sword saint’ and there is no disagreement among anyone.

But you have to do something like that for 3 years?

“From what I heard, Hyun Il-hwan’s party mainly deals with those along the border area. Then, there won’t be any special drops. The monsters disperse as soon as they are killed. There are no by-products.”

The information Hayun asked the ‘witch’ was more advanced than expected, but she spoke without any problem.

“Wow, that’s really powerful. You’re volunteering for free for three years, right?”

“Haha, he looks good. That bastard.”

“But if you deal with monsters, you will gain a lot of experience and eventually your level will rise. Is that a punishment?”

“Well, given his personality, I’m sure he’s in pain, right?”

“That would be nice, but it’s a shame I can’t take care of it in person.”

“Honestly, we’re not in a position to do anything about it. Even Ilwol just got a scar on his face. What?”

“Okay… “

We felt disappointed, but in the end, no one on our side was hurt. In fact, it was difficult to ask for anything strongly.

“I really don’t like the fact that compensation is only given if someone dies or gets injured. The intention was clear.”

“Tsk… There’s nothing we can do. What can we do when we have no power?”

Anyway, the part about Hyun Woo-seok being punished somehow has passed, and now the story about the compensation we hoped for has begun.

“Actually, I was a little embarrassed because they pushed the logic that what we received was excessive when it came to compensation.

I heard there aren’t that many tickets for the hidden dungeon. Hyun Woo Seok, I think he just threw it on the premise that that stupid guy could never lose.”

“So you’re saying you won’t give me anything?”

“No, the logic was to end by giving information about the dungeon.”

“Well, we didn’t want anything more than that in the first place. That’s fine.”

He also said that he would provide some financial compensation in the form of a match fee.

“Rather than that, I’ll tell you about the most important thing. The information in the first dungeon is about monsters. I think it will be an unusual exploration in many ways.”

Gulp-

When everyone hears the word “Monster,” They lean their upper bodies forward and listen.
