Kihts Order’s business card to Sae-Jin
“…As I mentioned before…”
“I know The thing is, though, hu, trying to tough it out alone, especially in our profession as Hunters where we already enjoy a pretty short life expectancy, isn’t going to work out in the long run Of course, I’ solo But hell, don’t you agree that being unable to participate in The Fissure Exploration is too big a missed opportunity?”
In this world, there existed a separate dimension called The Fissure A place that existed between dimensions, a world betorlds – that was a Fissure There were nu a Fissure, and the only way to “erase” one was to kill every single Monster residing within it And there was the matter of pure, hard net profit that could be earned when erasing a Fissure which was at minimum, over 890K, or, as much over 9 ht, participating even once in a Fissure Exploration was a sure-fire way to earn not only great fame and acclaim, but a healthier bank balance as well
“Give it another consideration When paired together with a Knight, a Heavenly Gifted Hunter can shi+ne even ht Before that… Did you take down that Skeleton Soldier using that mace?”
Kim Ji-Han asked in a tone of voice that implied he couldn’t understand hoas done It was just plainly iular person to defeat a Low Tier Monster alone, after all
“Yes It’s a quality weapon for sure but…constitutions”
“Oh… if you say so…”
In today’s world where the abilities “Mana Utilisation” and “Mana Affinity” were strictly divided into two distinct categories, the normal remained within the bounds of the coer any limits applicable for the ones deemed exceptional
Those with good Mana Affinity didn’t need any special teachings to accumulate Mana other than to just breathe, and in time, they could become the proverbial super-men that were fundamentally different from the likes of normal citizens out there
Although few in nu the Hunters They were existences that fell just short of becoh they possessed enough affinity with Mana, they still lacked the necessary Mana Utilisation, soas Hunters Of course, it was still a special power that the regular, powerless people wished they could have it too
“Alright, I’ll think about it Now then, excuseout of time”
There were still around 10 htly burdensoht now
“Right Well, if you change your ive us a call first Our Taereung Knights Order is faardless of whether it’s a Knight or a Hunter, you see”
Maybe it was in consideration of a Grey Wolf’s supposed strengths, the agility, his overall size didn’t increase even after the the Trait level hitting 4 but, his ferocious, dangerous aura now easily equalled that of a great tiger And hunting beca to doping now
Most of the Low Tier Monsters died a
fter a single surprise attack from Sae-Jin He’d saunter into a thicket to hide and wait for a prey, and in thatexplosion of speed that didn’t even leave behind a blur, his fangs would sink deep into the necks of his victi method, it’d be “One Hit, One Kill”
Sae-Jin abused the newly acquired active skill “Whirlwind Dash” whichat least two Monsters in a day a lot easier than before
Even today, Sae-Jin was leisurely drifting around searching for prey in his Wolf For Plus, this sense of suous nonsense that was like, “it smelled heavy so it’s close by”, or “it smelled faint, so it’s far” Nope
[Southeastward, 680 metres, Humans, 3 presences]
Yep, that’s how this syste this wonderful assistance of the cheat system, he was able to hunt over 10 Monsters in the period of past 3 days
‘Huain?’
There were round than compared to the Lowest Tier, so it was a co a dissatisfied expression, the wolf slowly began to vacate the current position
“Today’s luck is good”
“…!!!”
Out of the blue, a voice of another person entered Sae-Jin’s ears as he began wading into the tall grass It was really close Strangely, there weren’t any scents in the air so, while panicking, he quickly scanned the surrounding area About 200 metres from where he was, he felt a presence Could he run away? He thought about it, but dee what to do, he changed into the Huht away
“…It’s a human”
Fortunately, thanks to his deft ti, he was safe Sae-Jin calmed his heart and turned to look at the owner of the voice
It eirdly enough, a party of two One was a girl young enough to be under the legal voting age, and the other was a huge dude wearing a formal three piece suit that seemed totally out of place here
“Well, hello there~”
The girl studied the lone Sae-Jin in curiosity for a bit before greeting hiot closer
“My naht”
The bob-cut hair that caht nose and a pair of intelligent eyes – she should definitely be a teenage girl when considering only her young face, but the slick, urbane aura she gave off made her seem much older and experienced
“Ah, hello”
Unwillingly shaking her hand, Sae-Jin reaffirmed that he had ht, even if he assuht have turned into one tiringways smoothly was a hundred times more preferable
“And this here is a Low Tier ranked Hunter, Yun Do-Han”
“…How do you do It’s nice to make your acquaintance I’m named Yun Do-Han, a Low Tier Hunter”
As the htly in aet-up all ht or some such, but in the end, he turned out to be sos…
“Were you in the middle of a hunt? Your stealth skill is seriously incredible And I don’t see any special equipment on you, even”
Yu Sae-Jung scanned Sae-Jin from top to bottom, and sent him a compliment in a soft voice
Nowadays, networking &field were seen as raduated frohbourhood” schtick, which Yu Sae-Jung was acutely aware of Of course, there was that unwritten rule of how the potential personsabilities first, but here, unknown to hiirl’s initial test
“Yeah It’s better to erase all traces of yourself when tracking a prey Like the way you have erased your scents”
“Ah…”
As soon as Sae-Jin eyed her bracelet and spoke, she let out a soft cry
“You’ve got a pretty sharp eye, there By the way, I still haven’t caught your name as yet…”
“Ah, my name is Kim Sae-Jin A Low Tier Hunter”
As soon as he finished speaking, her body shook for a very brief htly tilted in uncertainty, she began questioning hiree colder than before
“…Is it okay for a Low Tier to move alone like this?”
“I’m still alive, so yeah, it’s okay”
The initial interest she showed, had coave him a curt little nod Obviously, she too had ht, just like others had so far
“Yes, well Whatever… Do carry on hatever you’ve been doing until now Seems to work for you, so”
She derisively snorted once and turned around And seeing that cold demeanor, Sae-Jin couldn’t help but to frown a little Seriously now, just how old was she to live her life so cold and calculating? Sae-Jin shook his head in disapproval before heading towards the opposite direction
But his feet beca up in front of his view
[Eastward, 500 metres A Troll in a Ravenous State]
“…Oh, fck”
