81 – Hunters and Hunters (3)

Unranked.

This refers to those who are not ranked.

To be precise, they are the criminals who rejected the ranking system.

Hanna Kim was also one of the unrankers.

‘I never thought I would see Hannah Kim here. It’s a bit faster than I thought.’

Kim Hannah is quite famous among her unranked players.

Because she is Kim Hannah’s ability to awaken her, the pure white flame.

Commonly called white flame, this ability is different from normal flames in its nature.

Because it does not require the three basic elements of fire, such as combustibles, an ignition source, and oxygen.

It’s actually just something in the shape of a flame.

It is said to be a kind of ‘Conceptualization (槪念侵蝕) ability… ….’

I couldn’t understand it clearly, but I know that it is a power that embodies the concept of ‘burning’.

The moment it touches that flame, whether it be earth, water, or iron, it burns until it is completely extinguished. Doesn’t even leave ashes. The ability to burn anything it touches. That is Kim Hannah’s white fever.

‘It’s a headache.’

Hannah Kim became famous as a hitman after assassinating a hunter.

The hunter she killed was one of the most famous and powerful S-rank hunters.

Japanese S-Rank Hunter Kohei Kuroda.

He is a top ranker in the world’s top 100.

Hanna Kim brutally murdered Kohei Kuroda, who is considered one of the top rankers in Japan.

As evidence of that, white flames remained at the scene of the murder.

Once ignited, white flame that does not go out.

It was the awakening ability that only Kim Hannah could use in this world.

“… ….”

I quietly observed Hannah Kim.

Kim Hannah had her bleached hair in her pure white.

Yerin’s gray hair was even whiter than her hair, and it was rough.

Her muddy hair, which hung all the way down to her tail, swayed like a candle in the wind.

Her face had a sharp impression like that of a cat, but her boredom and loneliness blended together.

Her appearance was estimated to be in her mid to late twenties.

I remember seeing her a few times in my dreams, but I couldn’t tell until her age.

Hannah Kim wore something like black tights all over her body.

She was like a full body suit made of a little thin and smooth material.

On top of that, she put something like a robe over her shoulders.

It looked like her hood was slightly pulled over.

It was a bit odd, but I was able to realize that they were all expensive relics and Noble Phantasms.

From noble mtl dot com

One thing Kim Hannah is wearing right now would cost tens of billions to hundreds of billions…….

She seems to have come fully armed.

“…… Hmm.”

Kim Hanna looked at all of us.

The emotionless eyes moved slowly.

A strange tension weighed on her son-in-law.

It was as if lead was placed on her shoulders.

Hostility rising like a haze enveloped her whole body.

‘The intimidation is no joke… ….’

Alarm bells rang throughout her head.

This could be said to be an act of instinct.

The hair all over her body stood on end and her hair stood up stiff.

Chills ran down her spine and her dry saliva was swallowed by itself.

…… If, very if.

If Jihyun really wants to kill me, will this be how it feels?

I have been threatened several times in my life, but this was the first time in my life that I felt such pressure.

I didn’t do this even when Kang Cheol-hwan, the chairman of the Heuksanhoe and an S-rank hunter, threatened me.

“Oh, brother…… What the hell is this…….”

I glanced sideways.

I could find Mina trembling all over.

“Me, that person, why are you here… ….”

Mina was in fear.

He seemed confused as to why Hannah Kim, who was famous as an unranked contractor, was here.

But she seemed to know for sure that she wasn’t friendly with us at all.

“What is it? You.”

At that time, Yerin, who bit her lower lip once, looked at Hannah Kim with intense eyes.

Hannah Kim slowly turned her head.

Yerin and Hannah Kim have become facing each other.

“…… Also.”

Kim Hanna suddenly licks her lips.

She calmly threw her dagger at Yerin.

The dagger Kim Hannah wielded had white flames.

It was a dim flame like a candle, but if you touch it, it will burn until you die.

“Teacher, it’s Mina. Behind me.”

As if to protect us, Yerin stepped forward and struck her dagger.

Dagger Ting! It fell to the ground with a scream.

It was a dagger that was deeply embedded in the ground, but the pure white flame continued to burn without extinguishing.

“…… It doesn’t work.”

Hannah Kim tilted her head as she watched him blankly.

“…… Normally, the flames should move the moment the sword touches.”

She glanced at the dagger stuck in the ground and muttered puzzled.

“Why doesn’t my ability work…… ? I thought she wouldn’t be able to cut, but…….”

She seemed to be analyzing Yerin’s ability with a calm face.

“That’s why I tried to use them as bait to dig out a little… ….”

Kim Hannah muttered something regretful.

I immediately realized what the “Those” She was referring to were.

The scavenger party was used to reveal our strength.

“…… I wanted to wait until my ability was revealed, but it seems that if I miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to get another chance. Hmm.”

I’ve been talking to myself since before.

It seems to be a habit.

“That’s nasty.”

“Huh?”

Suddenly, Yerin squeezed the handle of her sword and made a sarcastic remark.

“Doesn’t an S-rank strongman use the scavenger party as bait to attack the D-rank party, or ambush them… ….”

Slowly raising her mana, Yerin licked her lips at Hannah Kim with her sharp eyes.

“Aren’t you too timid? It’s a waste of her fame…….”

“…… There is no choice because there is an heir to the family name.”

I cut off Yerin’s backside, boringly.

“You…… ?”

For a moment, Yerin’s expression hardened.

“Oh, was it a secret from the others? You are the next head of the surname family.”

“Noisy.”

“It took me a long time to find out because the family name was tightly hidden, but you defeated the eldest son of the family name at the succession ceremony and took the place of the successor, right?”

Yerin silently threw her sword dealer away, but Kim Hannah used her dagger to send her sword dealer to the side of her.

She said, “In addition, she severely injured Seong Baek-hyeon, the current head of the family… ….”

“Noisy!”

Yerin swung her sword again and fired her sword from a distance, but she didn’t see much effect. Hannah Kim blocked her sword skills so lightly.

“The illegitimate son of the family name… …. The fact that you have risen to the position of successor in a family of surnames that value force means that you are a threatening strong person, so you need to be careful. Even if you don’t know the ability.”

“… ….”

Mina, who had been quietly listening to her, looked at Yerin with her eyes wide open. She looked a little surprised. She deserved it. Because she was a story that could not be believed by common sense. In the case of me, I could roughly guess because I had dreamed about the future to some extent, but she was not Mina. She must have been really out of the blue.

“Hey, Hannah Kim.”

“Yes…… ?”

“Why are you targeting us?”

“Ah… ….”

I deliberately talked to you to get out of this fire.

It was because Yerin was quite reluctant to talk about this.

Also, for now, I was planning to prepare for the use of my psychokinesis ability while taking my time.

It took a lot of preparation time to land a powerful blow.

If you gather your strength as much as possible, you should be able to display an A-rank level of psychokinesis.

If you’re lucky, you might be able to fatally wound Kim Hanna.

“…… I’m sorry to you guys, but it’s because of Lee Ji-hyun.”

“Lee Ji-hyun? Why?”

As I pretended to be curious, I slowly aroused my psychokinesis.

I was paying special attention not to be caught by Hannah Kim.

“Hmm…… I have a close brother of mine…… I was killed by Lee Ji-hyun.”

“Huh?”

Murder?

It’s the first time I’ve heard it.

Through her dream, I knew very well that Hannah Kim had a grudge against Jihyeon Lee, but I didn’t know the specific reason.

“…… I can honestly say it’s self-employed. Because she was commissioned to assassinate Lee Ji-hyeon without even knowing the subject.”

“… ….”

“…… But whatever the reason, I can’t leave Lee Ji-hyun alone, who killed her brother. I promised to take revenge on myself.”

“… ….”

I almost got it, almost.

Shall we wait a little longer?

“Then why are they attacking us instead of targeting Lee Ji-hyeon? Is it because you don’t have the confidence to beat Lee Ji-hyun?”

“Hmm.”

He scratched Kim Hanna’s nerves while provoking lightly, but he remained calm.

“It’s not that I don’t have the confidence to win…… Once before…… I wanted to scratch Lee Ji-hyun’s nerves.”

Is this enough?

“Just then, Lee Ji-hyun came out of the Sephiroth…… I think it’s important enough to scout you guys into the clan…… Eww?”

Boom!

Before Hannah Kim could finish her words, she used her telekinesis ability to apply pressure.

As much as she gathered her strength for a few minutes, she was quite strong in telekinesis, so even Kim Hannah would not be fine.

By the way.

“What is that…… ?”

“Your ability is also a bit questionable.”

She used her psychokinesis as much as she could, but Hannah Kim was fine.

I looked at Hannah Kim with a bit of surprise, and white flames were burning brightly around Hannah Kim.

A flame hanging in the air as if burning something invisible.

Suddenly, it burst into flames and disappeared.

‘…… Could it be that he just burned his telekinesis?’

I tried to use her psychokinesis to blow Kim Hannah’s head off, but the moment I grabbed her head, her flames fluttered and the restraints of her telekinesis disappeared.

Burning telekinesis that cannot be physically grasped?

“I think it’s a telekinesis ability, but it’s useless. Even if it’s Lee Ji-hyun’s level of telekinesis, it can be offset…….”

f*ck, what kind of dog is that…?
