Regress and Eat

“Crazy.”

The neural sign mutters as if it's unbelievable.

“None of the known unique skills can be classified into similar lineages. It's not like the Tamming clan that controls monsters. A monster who wasn't here suddenly appeared and disappeared again. ”

Izzie spills the horse with a bored face.

“But of all the monsters, why zombies? · · · ”

I think the scene I just saw was a little shocking for her after the whole prenatal battle.

“It doesn't matter. It's a one-and-only skill called" ransom, "right? ”

The neural chart seemed to be very interesting, and I baptized Nate into asking questions in English.

“Shouldn't those zombies be created immediately and summoned from another dungeon? Or any other space on Earth? How do you steer? The conditions for adding the number of bundles would be incredibly tricky, wouldn't it? ”

I tried to stop Nate from answering the question, but surprisingly Lee responded first.

“Hey! Wait a minute. ”

The new look is completely changed.

He wipes his slightly disgusted face like a lie and says to Nate with a resolute face.

“You don't have to answer. ”

But Nate raises his hands and shakes his head as if he didn't want to settle at all.

“Jin-wook told me not to say anything useless. ”

I smiled unknowingly as I repeated my words without an intermediate filter.

“Yes, of course. ”

Izzie turns on the light in her eyes and looks at the sign.

“Neuroscope Hunter. Are you trying to eat me? Younger?”

“Oh, no. It's not like that, it's just curiosity. ”

I don't like him either.

Lee Ji Soo quickly stopped him, but I didn't want to stand idly by without protesting.

I looked at the sign and said,

“Talk to me, the representative, about your business. And since you're a · · Scorer, we'll be sure to show you some respect, but I hope you will respect the rater's courtesy as well. Don't you have to give up the right to be guaranteed just because you're the beneficiary? ”

Do not even ask about abilities that you do not disclose in person.

Dory protects the Hunters for sure.

He apologized a few more times, saying he was sorry, but it was a hollow empty shell.

‘You were aiming for the guild because you didn't have any guild members with you. ’

“Oh, sorry. Excuse me.”

Alternate between Korean and English, look at me and Nate.

“I was surprised and didn't know it. Sorry."

At that time, Kim Ji-hoon, who was looking at Nate with a strange look, suddenly said.

“From the data I just received, you don't belong to the Celestial Dragons. ”

The intention was obvious, so I cut it in half.

“All power over Korean activities is already tied up here. ”

‘This way’ is not exactly my personal company, but I don't need to tell you the details.

A government official intervened.

“Hey, so the grade is · · ·. ”

Again, the discussion was short.

“Nate Hope, Final Grade ‘S. ’ ”

It was a natural outcome.

“So let's move on to the next one. This is number three.”

Everyone's eyes became sharper.

You're probably wondering how much Mana output I made.

The government official, who had a clear understanding of the resonance, sent the data to the hunters with a slightly tense look. I have waited so far without even noticing.

Boom!

Data was transferred to three handsets.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Immediately, similar scenes were reproduced from the center.

*

Silence.

No one opens their mouth easily first.

“Is my eye wrong, is the handset wrong, or is the measurement artifact wrong? ”

The neural ticket looks at the Constitutional Officer standing next to you, rather than staggering.

“Is this it? ”

The official said with a resolute expression.

“Unlike foreigners, the entire Awakening Process remained on video footage. There's no room for foul play. ”

“No, but this is bad! ”

Kim Ji-hoon, who was staring at the hologram with a firm face, said.

“Enough nonsense. ”

Sounds like an ice cube to me.

“Bringing him here means that the verification is over in all phases. ”

A government official has stepped out.

“So, is there any point in evaluating combat capability? As you know, the process is at the discretion of the Grade S rater for Manaoutput and above. ”

Izzie shakes her head.

“Does it matter? Even monsters worthy of the S rank could not be captured safely, so they were omitted from the yard. They are now SS ranks. ”

By the way.

Kim Ji-hoon reached out his hand and stopped Lee Ji-hoon's words.

“Wait. You don't have to ignore the assessment that there are no monsters. ”

Izzie's eyes became sharp.

“What are you talking about? ”

I smiled into my heart.

‘Obnoxious bastard. Yeah, I knew it would come to that. ’

Izzie protested.

“No matter how well you take the test, you can't give SSS ratings in the promotion screening conducted in Korea. What does that mean? ”

“Evaluating combat skills doesn't necessarily work as a plus effect. ”

“You can't be serious! ”

“Grading is at the discretion of the inspector in charge of the final assessment. Evaluate if that rater has combat abilities that are SS grade. If you think you are lacking in capability, it is also possible to lower it to Class S or not. ”

The Nerve Ticket listened.

“Yes, if Seo Jin-wook had only been awakened a few months ago, wouldn't he lack the combat skills and expertise you would expect from a hunter of grade S or higher? ”

“No, but there are no monsters to stick to! ”

“If you don't have monsters, why don't you follow the case of foreign countries? ”

“If it's foreign · · · · Hold on. Are you trying to fight me? ”

There are countries like that.

A country that replaces Combat Ability Ratings with Hunters instead of Hunters.

Kim Ji-hoon said.

“I think I'm qualified for it. If you look at the ratings. ”

Thank you for stepping up for me, but one of you was lacking in power.

The discretion is ultimately subject to the majority of the examiners, and the current situation is 2: 1.

It's not enough to flip over.

I stepped out to shorten the time.

“I get it. You want to mix knives with me? ”

Kim Ji-hoon grinned.

“I'm glad I got it fast. ”

At that moment, a magical voice from Eizuma rang in my ear.

It was sent to be heard only by me secretly.

- Kim Ji-hoon, that bastard played on purpose. Don't hand it over to me that I'm not going to work in this official position. That son of a bitch could be tricky enough to disguise himself as an accident. You know that recovery potions aren't all that great, right? If you make it nurturing enough for months without killing it, at this point · · ·.

I cut off her magic voice.

Reply using the same skill she sent you.

- Thank you for your concern. But I think it's going to be okay.

Her eyes widened because of the contents of the unexpected answer and the way it was delivered.

“Very well. Make it quick. ”

“All processes will be recorded on video. Don't worry.”

“I don't worry about that, but I do worry about something else. What happens to the promotion when the contest is escalated and one of them is unconscious? ”

“Don't worry, your passing out won't invalidate your judgment. Final grading will be done by evaluating your skills during the duel. ”

I shook my head.

“No, no. Not that.”

I laughed and said.

“On the contrary? ”

In other words, what would happen if Kim Ji-hoon, the scorer, fainted?

“Ha!”

He grins, his teeth pointing out as if it were absurd.

“You said majority? Is that all it takes for two people to vote except for unconscious people who can't comment? ”

“You're joking. We don't need assumptions, but we'll automatically give you an SS rating if that happens. Are you all in favor?”

The nerve mark agreed as if it was absurd, and Eizu nodded her head with a firm expression.

I asked casually, looking at a government official.

“Are you recording all these remarks? ”

“· · What a ferocious cub. Unlike Seo Kyu-chul, the skin on his face is thick. ”

Nate, who was observing the situation quietly, asked Hibiki what was going on, and she passed the majority of this conversation on to Nate as if she understood it.

Then he muttered as if he couldn't understand.

“No, if Jin-wook's output is SS, isn't it stronger than S? But how do you rate a grade of S? Shouldn't it be the opposite? ”

The look on Kim Ji-hoon's face when she heard it changed.

I held my sword in my grin and stepped out.

Tell Nate, as if to listen to the rest, out loud.

“In the end, I won't admit it. ”

He squeals through his teeth, suppressing his anger.

“· · So you can prove it in front of me. ”

So ugly, so ugly.

*

After a brief moment of modification by the Constitution official because of the change in standards, we stood against each other with swords.

‘You want to be trampled before my existence is a catalyst to bring down the fallen Heavenly Dragon again. You're not going to kill me here, and you're going to cut off one of your limbs? Impersonating an accident. ’

If you cut it into a mess that cannot be fused, you will need to get a rare item called an Elixir for regeneration, and he knows it will take months to search for the Celestial Dragon.

Send an early Awakening Hunter to the bed to just hit him and he will think it's two birds if he has any trauma left.

‘It is the same as declaring war against the Celestial Dragon. ’

I wouldn't have done it before, but I decided it would be a good idea to try and combat the Celestial Dragon situation.

‘Like Izzie said, it's easy to masquerade as an accident. To the extent that it avoids legal liability. Blame it on him, but he didn't care about that at first. ’

He said.

“It's not for practice, it's for evaluation. Let's limit the blade to this much. ”

Kim Ji-hoon's sword was covered with a blurry blue sword.

It's shallow enough to barely cover the blade.

I've made my mouth shut.

“That much?" I understand. ”

I also covered the sword I brought in place of the dead sword with an ordinary blue sword.

“Then, come first. ”

“I'm happy to oblige. ”

I dug ahead with my sword instead of throwing it.

Chang!

The moment the first two swords crossed.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Kim Ji-hoon's face reminded me of the fact that something was wrong.

‘It's absurd. ’

I was already aware of Kim Ji-hoon's hidden prank on the sword.

‘That sword mastery, [Chain Blade]. ’

A skill that has elevated Kim Ji-hoon's notoriety in his past life, but his true ability is not known in this era.

The skill used by assassins from other dimensions will later become famous for its unique trickery and cruelty on Earth.

‘That sword that shines on the sword is not all. ’

Although it seems to limit the effects of the sword very mildly, in fact, if you look closely inside it, small saw-type swords vibrate and rotate at a very fast speed.

The flesh shatters just by touching it, and tiny pieces of black powder digging into the body like grenade fragments crush the muscle and sever the blood vessels, causing severe internal bleeding.

What accompanies that is the extreme pain of wanting to cut off the body rather than indulging the words of the experience.

‘It's a terrible skill. ’

Get it, get it!

Kim Ji-hoon rushed to stop my heavy sword for a while.

He doesn't give me a chance to fight back.

Just as an evil number was hidden in Kim Ji-hoon's light sword, even my weak looking sword was actually hiding a powerful force that condensed several times.

“· · Huh? ”

There was a strange reaction among the hunters who were watching.

“What's wrong with him? Why is he fighting so well? ”

When it comes to appraisal challenges, it is natural for the appraiser to exchange different numbers of attacks with each other and to lead the flow.

But now the scene was contrary to that.

“Kim Ji-hoon is · · · · pushed? ”

I feel like this can't be happening.

“You · · · What · · · What · ·! ”

He didn't even get the words right.

I'm in a hurry to stop my sword from running like a rain.

[Chain Blade] wields her sword like a silent thunderstorm, so a dizzy attack should bounce right off her, but instead she is forced to attack me.

He finally realized how powerful the energy attached to my sword is.

“Oh my · · · Crazy! ”

You also hear the voices of the nerve endings.

“Isn't that the output from when the vigilante hunter lived with the sword for over 20 years? ”

Twenty years is an understatement.

Will the owners of this sword not be able to hold the sword for 500 years?

“Grrrgh!"

Kim Ji-hoon gripped his teeth.

Shhh!

Rarely blown first counterattack.

The sword he breathes passes right next to my face.

You were aiming for my face? I'm just leaving. ’

Izzie's expression distorted.

“Hey, wait a minute! ”

She shakes hands with the Constitutional Officer. To stop the evaluation through him who oversees the procedure.

"Finish!"

I wield his sword with my sword and flick it back.

Movement is smooth and fast enough to leave no trace.

His face is distorted.

Staring at it, I removed the blue sword and put another kind of Mana pattern on it.

So far, a light, blue sword covers the sword.

“No!”

Hunters' faces stiffen.

I realized that my sword is the same as Kim Ji-hoon's aggression so far.

In that state, I sliced open Kim Ji-hoon's legs.

Uahhhhhh!

And the eerie screams.

“Aaahhhh!”

Peek-a-boo!

At that moment, the official pressed the stop button.

“Stop Evaluation! Stop Evaluating!”

Hunters are on the run.

“Stop the bleeding first!"

The Nerve Ticket pours out recovery potions.

Kim Ji-hoon was scratching the ground with his fingernails on the floor.

“Ahhhh! You little bitch! ”

You seem distracted by the extreme pain of crushing him.

My eyes bulged with bloodshed as if they were about to be plucked out. His face turns red, then blue, then spicy.

One of the legs was cut off completely, and the other was cut in half.

Hunters who saw the scene quickly realized that this was something more than just a cut.

“The bleeding won't stop! I don't know much about cutting, shaving or anything! ”

I literally poured the potion into the part where it was cut out of my sword, but it didn't work well.

In fact, if Kim Ji-hoon had originally wanted to do what he wanted, he should have stopped bleeding by now even if the pain persisted.

I gave the sword a slight deformation.

As if a nerve ticket protested against me.

“What the hell are you doing! ”

I said, acting as if I had been in an accident.

“Oh · · · I'm so sorry about this. ”

“No, I'm sorry, I slept and I don't know what you did to the sword! ”

“It's only been a few months since I woke up, my unique skills are a little out of control. ”

“· · · What? ”

Fragments of a small, sharp blade, like a broken piece of glass, penetrate the blood vessels beyond merely pressing down on the nerves and continue the difficulty of cutting.

That's why even if you use a potion, you can easily get hurt again.

I looked down at his bridge and said,

“Although this is unintended, if I consider it a dangerous situation, it will protrude · · · So I just imitated Kim Ji-hoon Hunter's skill and 'returned it to you’. ”

Thus, I sprinkle bread bread on my fake unique skill [Refrica], which I will officially use.

Hearing my words, Izzie's eyes became sharp.

“You imitated a skill and gave it back? ”

I think I understood the meaning of that word right away.

Just before the end of the workshop, everyone saw the same light flashing perfectly as Kim Ji-hoon's sword.

She said, foaming at the bottom, watching Kim Ji-hoon bleed from the hole of her entire body, other than the cutting edge.

“That means · · · · · ·. ”

Disgust spreads in both eyes.

“That attack Kim Ji-hoon was hit by, did you mean Kim Ji-hoon hit you? ”

Yeah, this is it.

I smiled in silence.
