Episode 3
[Demonic sword of anger - Gram.]
[Your level is low.]
[The power of the relic is limited to 10%.]
Demon Sword Gram.
The demonic sword, said to have slashed even the evil dragon Fafnir, was now in Suhyeon's hand.
The handle tied with rough leather stuck to Suhyun's hand.
The jet-black double-edged sword connected in a straight line trembled.
Whoaaaaagh!
"Kuheugh… … !"
The red energy that burst from the sword shook Suhyeon's whole body.
As if excited about going out to the outside world after a long time, the demonic sword roared continuously.
'How am I supposed to use something like this!'
Whoops!
According to Suhyeon's will, the magic sword rang several times, and soon the energy was saved.
The demonic sword, which had been rampaging ferociously until just now, was sending a pleasant resonance to Suhyeon's hand as if it had never done so.
'This isn't even a dog... … .'
More like a tiger than a dog.
Just by summoning it, it took away this much energy.
It feels like controlling a tiger with one leash.
Even just holding it, I feel like I'm going to lose my energy.
'But I can't stay at a loss.'
Suhyeon, who had difficulty holding the sword, raised her head calmly.
The moment I grabbed my sword and was about to move towards the black pillar.
"How long are you holding on to form?"
"Get out quickly. What are you doing in the morning?"
"I'm dying of exhaustion for a real F-rank."
'… … !?'
People's voices were heard in Suhyeon's ears.
Suhyeon looked around in confusion, but there was no one there.
"what?"
Suhyeon looked at the measuring room beyond the glass.
"Hey, are you looking this way? Didn't you hear about us?"
"Hi, I'm sure F-class will do that."
"I'm just staring at you in a bad mood and it's fucking."
At the same time, the employee who met his eyes smiled and waved his hand at Suhyeon.
'what… … ?'
At the same time as holding the demonic sword, an inaudible sound began to be heard.
I could hear the sound through the wall, and even the sound of turning a piece of paper.
It feels like the senses in my whole body have become sharper several times.
Even Suhyeon stayed up all night due to her part-time job at a convenience store.
Normally, I would have fallen asleep on the bus, dragging my body.
But now something.
Far from being tired, the whole body is active.
And what made that possible.
'Maybe this.'
Gram's strength is certain.
Just holding it in your hand gives you twice as much power compared to before.
'That's why it's called a holy relic... … .'
It's only about 10 percent, but this level of performance.
Indeed, there is no shortage of uses for the Constellation.
However, that's for a while.
"Ai, when will you do it? Only Gao catches behind."
"Eww, I'm going to take a deep breath."
"But I know you are a Hunter. F-class bastards always make a fuss."
I could hear the gossips of the measurement room staff.
Of course, Suhyeon was also a human being, so he had no choice but to be angry.
"No, let's see, so these bastards… … !"
It was the moment Suhyeon was about to enter the measurement room in a fit of heat.
[The sword of rage reacts to the user's anger.]
[Current stored rage – 1%]
"uh?"
A system message appeared as if to catch Suhyeon's footsteps.
It was none other than one of the skills of the magic sword of rage.
'A sword of wrath... … .'
The sword clearly reacted to his anger.
The fact that that stored anger is 1% means that you can gather more strength.
'That means... … .'
Suhyun recalled the truth she had encountered earlier at the convenience store.
When I thought of the smell of the damn alcohol on my bloody face, I felt a surge of anger.
[The sword of rage reacts to the user's anger.]
[Current stored rage – 3%]
"also!"
Befitting its nickname of the Demonic Sword of Anger, it seems that the sword is eating Suhyeon's rage and conserving its strength.
And coincidentally, Suhyeon had numerous memories that could build up anger.
You don't need any other little things.
Suhyeon immediately started thinking about the temple.
In the past, he was deceived by the clergyman's flattery and started attending the temple.
Deceived by the priest's lies, he started offering money.
A person who did not make an offering awakened before Suhyeon.
The priests talked behind Suhyeon, saying that he had no talent.
As Suhyeon grinded his teeth and recalled memories of the past, a system message soon appeared.
[Your level is not enough, so you cannot build more Rage.]
[Current stored rage – 10%]
"You say this is already full?"
I still have a long way to go.
I'm sorry but I can't help it.
What if the level of users is low?
The sword didn't change much.
I wouldn't know if I filled in all 100%, but it didn't seem to make much of a difference with just over 10%.
Suhyeon sighed deeply and slowly began to approach the pillar.
"Hey, move now."
"Having nothing eats up time."
"It's almost like the score won't even come out, but do it quickly."
"Leave it alone, I guess I just woke up and don't know the reality."
The sarcasm of the staff continued until the moment Suhyeon reached the pillar.
Suhyun also knew the truth.
He probably won't be able to cut that pillar himself.
No matter how much he uses the magic sword, the usable power is only 10%.
Even the user of the sword is himself.
There was no way he could do it well, since the only sword he had wielded in his life was a kitchen knife.
'Please, I don't even want an A grade, let's only get a C grade!'
Still, it's a relic.
I'll pay for the relic.
Holding the sword, Suhyeon took a step with her left foot.
And soon, he took a top position and raised his sword.
It wasn't that he knew anything about swordsmanship.
I just chose it because I thought it would be easier to hit it down.
"Haaaaaaaaa!"
Suhyeon hit the sword with all his might.
The power that came through the shoulder passed through the forearm, crossed the elbow, and entered the wrist.
About a second after he swung his sword, a black line appeared in Suhyeon's field of vision.
"uh?"
and soon.
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah -.
"uh?! What!?"
The black oblique line that appeared in the world passed through the pillar and left a huge black mark on the wall of the measurement room.
The pillars were completely cut in two, and stone dust flowed down the walls of the measurement room with deep traces of swords.
However, that's for a while.
"Keuheugh!?"
Soon, a terrifying sense of exhaustion swallowed Suhyeon.
His whole body was completely drained of strength, and he could not move even a single step.
As if to tease Suhyeon, the system message appeared again.
[Rage Sword Cooldown – 10 minutes]
'what? 10 minutes?'
It is difficult to regain energy even if given an hour, let alone 10 minutes.
Suhyeon couldn't move even a single step, so he froze as he held the sword.
Suhyeon slowly raised her head and looked at the horror she had created.
Not only the pillars, but also the walls of the measuring room left huge black marks.
"uh… … What do we do."
Should I get down on my knees and beg?
However, because he did not have the strength to even lift a finger, Suhyeon had no choice but to stand with his whole body rigid.
* * *
Measurement team leader Kim Chang-seop.
He was a resourceful man who had contact with many high-ranking hunters as well as S-rank hunters.
Approach the hunter who can see the roots first and leave a contact number saying that he will help.
Changseob's eyesight is more accurate than expected, so many hunters actually have his contact information.
Of course, they did not blindly receive Changsub's contact information.
The fact that Changsub is one of the few A-class hunters in the association must have played a big role.
With so many high-ranking hunters as acquaintances, he actually has considerable influence within the association.
This is because they maintain a relationship at a level where they can get help at any time beyond simply getting to know each other.
It was to the point where there were even jokes about how to give the king of networking as a nickname of Hunter.
"Shall we stop by the measurement room?"
He stuffed his hands into his pockets and headed towards the measuring room.
Although he is said to be the head of the measurement team, as he is a high-level member of the association, he rarely stays in the measurement room.
All I had to do was visit the measurement room once a day.
In the first place, the measurement is done by a machine and the standards are clear, so it is rare for work to come up to one's own line.
It was extremely rare for a high-ranking Hunter to come out.
That's why Changsub went into the measurement room today as well, just to show his face.
"Hmm?"
Entering the measurement room, he raised his eyebrows.
Usually, when the team leader comes in, it is common for the employees to say hello briefly.
But now, the staff were staring at the window of the measuring room to see what was so interesting.
"What, what's going on?"
"Ah, is the team leader here?"
It was only then that the employees noticed and bowed briefly to the team leader.
Since Changseob was not a person who was completely blocked, he accepted it with an appropriate eye greeting.
"So what is it that you are gathered like this?"
"Ah, a strange person is coming."
"What?"
"Grade F."
"What is F grade? It's common."
What's so strange about Pan being an F-class hunter getting hit by a foot?
"It's fun just to watch."
"Huh… … . This is true."
The manager smiled and looked at the staff.
Since he was on standby 24 hours a day and worked all night, he tended to turn a blind eye to deviations like this.
"Let me see you somewhere."
While doing so, the team leader received Suhyeon's test results.
"It is miserable."
Horsepower test F.
Physical test F.
"It must be difficult to come out like this… … ."
At least if you've awakened, it's normal to get at least E-class.
What's more, it's F-class.
Even after awakening, if it's an F-class, it's a truly disastrous level.
'I have no aptitude. I'm going to have a hard time being a hunter.'
The staff in the measurement room seemed to be the same, and the harsh criticism was poured out.
"No matter how you look at it, you're no different from normal people."
"I was trying to catch something called a hunter."
"Even if I fight with my fists now, I will win."
"What are you talking about, bluffing?"
The team leader was not interested in the gossip of the employees.
Rather, even the team leader thought it would be a nuisance if he went to the gate with Suhyeon.
In fact, there were many cases where F-class hunters died at the gate without knowing anything.
I saw countless times the bereaved families sitting down in front of the gate and weeping.
From the point of view of the team leader, Suhyeon was one of those people.
"I wish I didn't have to remove the corpse in front of the bereaved family."
Even Changseop smiled at the disastrous results and folded his arms.
It was to the point where I was interested in how weak the power of an F-class hunter would be.
The team leader calmed his eyes and looked at Suhyeon calmly.
The eyes of the team leader, an A-class hunter, calmly focused his gaze as if gauging Suhyeon.
Even at this moment, the staff were saying something disapproving of Suhyeon, who was wasting time.
"How long are you holding on to form?"
"Get out quickly. What are you doing in the morning?"
"I'm dying of exhaustion for a real F-rank."
However, at that moment.
"… … uh?"
Suhyun suddenly turned her head and our eyes met.
To be precise, Suhyeon glanced at the staff in the measurement room once.
Those eyes were never pretty.
Soo-hyeon looked around the measurement room for a moment, then turned her gaze back to the pillar.
"… … ?"
Hearing this on the street?
Didn't he hear the sound through the shock-absorbing wall, the special barrier designed to withstand various magics, and the several layers of tempered glass placed in between?
"no way… … . You have to say something that makes sense."
Hearing the voice beyond all of this means that Suhyeon's senses far surpassed that of an ordinary human being.
The team leader looked at Suhyeon's detailed test results again.
It was because I was curious about how the detailed evaluation would be divided, other than the overall evaluation being F grade.
"… … huh?"
The visual acuity, reaction speed, and all other physical test scores were F-grade.
Even the horsepower sensitivity, total horsepower amount, and horsepower application are all F-class.
"They're all F-class… … ?"
As if getting a score of 0 on a test is harder than getting a score of 100, Soo-hyeon's test was so bizarre.
All the test results are grade F, as if they were intentionally manipulated.
And at that moment, the team leader remembered one thing.
gulp.
The saliva in his mouth made the team leader's throat vibrate.
If it's this neat F-class, it's not possible.
"Ability manipulation… … ?"
It is said that if you become an S-class hunter, you can adjust your abilities to hide yourself.
That level is enough to trick even the machine that precisely measures Hunter's body.
Come to think of it, Suhyeon had more than one oddity.
A jet-black sword in hand with a rare manifestation-type ability, and an F grade written in all detailed tests.
In addition, even the start-up ceremony of the splendid skills that the employees said.
'It's weird to see this as normal!'
Gradually, the team leader's doubts began to change to certainty.
"no way… … !"
At that moment, Suhyeon's sword fell.
The anger that had been stored in the jet-black sword roared and revealed itself to the world.
A black oblique line containing intense emotions is launched into the world and shows off a fierce presence.
It's not a sword, it's like a black line existing on the world.
As if the world is on fire and Suhyeon's sword is a brush.
The black oblique lines created by the sword completely colored the world as if they were attached to food paper.
OK.
Squeak-.
"… … uh?"
Kwak Kwah Kwah!
Soon, the line neatly cut through the pillar in front of it and left a huge sword mark on the floor, walls, and even the ceiling of the measurement room beyond the pillar.
It was literally as if a black line had been drawn on the world.
"this… … this crazy... … ."
The team leader looked at this and opened his mouth wide in embarrassment.
I saw it with my own eyes, but I couldn't understand it.
maybe you haven't seen it
An incomprehensible state in which even he, an A-class hunter, cannot know the end.
Even he, who had seen so many attacks, was thrilled.
Not to mention, even the A-level team leader is like this.
"uh… … !?"
"Eh, what is this… … . no, what is it?"
"I even saw him wielding a sword… … ."
"I think I saw something like a black line."
"No, it's F-class! Who measured it!"
As the panicked employees wandered around, the team leader hit the desk and drew attention.
"shit!"
fast.
He, who always had a wry smile, had a rare frown.
Cutting the black pillar means that you are at least an S-class hunter.
In fact, the only hunters who destroyed the pillars were all S-class hunters.
However, that wasn't the problem.
The problem is that these guys touched the planting of that S-class hunter.
To the extent that he, who was trying to hide his power, reveals his true heart.
"ha… … ."
The team leader took a deep breath and yelled at the staff.
"Everybody's head banged up."
"yes?"
The puzzled employees asked the team leader what they were talking about, but he didn't answer and straightened the loosened tie.
"If you want to live, put your head first!"
Then, grabbing the doorknob to get inside, he shouted.
Cold sweat was dripping from his hand holding the door.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the faces of the employees began to turn blue one by one.
The team leader, who had a merciless expression on his face, spoke softly to the staff in the measurement room.
"In there, there is Korea's seventh S-class Hunter."
