“How long do you need?”

“I would appreciate it if you could resolve this as quickly as possible. The customers’ complaints are quite serious.”

“Yes, I understand. You can go now.”

“Then please.”

“But… .”

“Yes, please speak.”

“Can you give me about 20,000 won as a deposit?”

“20,000 won? It doesn’t matter, but… .”

“Then please do it!”

“Oh, yes.”

I skipped breakfast and I’m hungry… .

I guess I’ll have to buy something to eat downstairs later.

Mr. Seungjun Kim took out money from his wallet and gave it to me.

It’s green!!

It’s been a while since I’ve seen this green!!

He was holding 20,000 won and laughing and making jokes.

The owner of the goshiwon, Seungjun Kim, looked at me blankly and then returned to his seat at the counter.

I sniffed at the scent of the two cabbage leaves and kept them tightly in my pocket.

Then I sat down in the kitchen and took out some simple alchemy tools.

First, I’ll just do a quick checkup and then go eat.

There’s no apparent presence of monsters, but you never know.

There might be some strange monster hiding inside that can conceal itself.

That’s why I took out the monster detection tool.

That was the so-called L-shaped road.

As an alchemist myself, I have been able to create mystical instruments based on imagery, and this is what I consider to be the most primitive, easily understandable, and occult tool of detection.

Although it looks simple, the effect is certain.

He holds the L-rod and walks around the area where he expects the monster to be.

Even if it’s not the exact location, if there’s a monster present, the bars will intersect in an X shape near it.

It was simple enough that not only a witch like me, but even a normal person could use it to get the desired results.

After all, that’s what alchemy is.

The study of creating special tools that anyone can use.

Anyway, I started walking around the kitchen holding the L-rod.

At least if there was a monster hiding here, it would definitely be detected.

but!

The golden bars he was holding in his hand did not intersect.

It didn’t move even 1cm.

‘uh…?’

So then the problem isn’t the monster… .

Is this fucked up?

I’ve never had a tool fail to detect anything… .

The teacher also praised it, saying that the detection rate was 99%.

If you think about it, I said that 1% was a generous number considering that there might be something I don’t know about because the monsters are so out of the ordinary… In fact, it would have been okay to say 100%.

“If it’s not a monster, then really… the villain is the culprit?”

Why did you become an awakened person and do something so ridiculous as stealing a goshiwon lunchbox?

Crazy guy! Crazy guy!!

Catching a villain is a different matter from subduing a monster.

Difficulty aside, the villain might be able to figure out that I’m a witch.

It’s difficult.

Of course, the Master had told me to only be careful of high-level Awakened people, so I thought it would be okay… .

Surely, a high-level ability user powerful enough to become a Hunter wouldn’t do something as stupid as raiding a goshiwon refrigerator, right?

Anyway, after reaching a conclusion, I sighed, got up from my seat, and went back to the owner of the goshiwon and my client, Mr. Seungjun Kim.

The purpose was to report interim results.

“First of all, it doesn’t seem like a monster.”

“Then what happens?”

“I think it’s the villain’s doing.”

“Villain…?”

Kim Seung-jun’s face distorted in vain.

Even he would think it was absurd.

What kind of idle villain would raid a goshiwon refrigerator?

It’s not a bank.

“Is that true?”

Now, he looks suspicious.

I nodded resolutely and answered.

“Really! Do I look like I’m lying?”

“No… . That’s not it. But I found out… . It seems like the S-class glamorous high school girl in the city was a malicious aggro user… .”

“Me?? A malicious aggro user!? Who the hell would say something like that??”

This is the first time I’ve heard this.

It’s clear that there were a bunch of losers who were jealous of my fame and were systematically sabotaging me.

I glared at Seungjun Kim fiercely and asked him.

“Someone! Who said that!!”

“Hmm… . It’s not just one or two people’s opinion… .”

“What are you talking about?? Are you trying to reduce the commission fee by any chance?”

“That’s not it. If you succeed in your work, I’ll give you what I promised. But trust me… .”

“This…!!”

What the hell did I do wrong!

I folded my fingers with a seething heart and looked back at the posts I had uploaded to the gallery.

Big breasted woman gossip.

Tall woman gossip.

Gossip about a pretty but stupid woman.

Dirty girl gossip.

Gossip about a woman who hits you in the back of the head.

Old spinster gossip.

I didn’t do anything wrong, right?

A woman like Eugene deserves to be cursed at.

“Just wait and see! I’ll definitely beat up the villain and show it to the boss!”

“Ah… Yes.”

I rolled up my sleeves, grunted, and stomped outside.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a high-level awakener or not.

You will be beaten with the club of an angry great witch!!

At that moment, Kim Seung-jun’s voice could be heard softly from behind.

It may have been a soliloquy to him, but my keen hearing could not be fooled.

“But you don’t wash and go around…? Why does that guy smell so bad? ”

… … .

Come to think of it, there’s no need to gossip about dirty women, right?

I turned on the Hunter Gallery and started writing, hesitating.

[Dirty Woman = If she’s the best bride-to-be, then I’m going crazy lol] (S-class glamorous high school girl in the province)

: I highly recommend this woman who has a great sense of economy, saves on water bills, reduces detergent use to protect the environment, and has a strong immune system so she can pass on excellent DNA to her descendants.

Of course, the reaction was dire.

Concept – 20, Reflection – 121

-What is this kid talking about? Hahahahahahaha (yes)

– I hate dirty women all the time. When and why do they do that? (National power level hunter)

N Are you sure you have a mental illness? Hahahahaha (yes)

Wash up, you smell like a sewer (Wakya Pya Heuk Nong Jjuk)

N Wow, if I hear something like that from him, I’ll go all the way to the end ㅋㅋㅋㅋ (ㅇㅇ)

N seriouslyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ (yes)

I’ve memorized all your names… .

I will definitely punish you.

I will put a curse on you that will make you conscious of your breathing.

Really.

#7

The goshiwon was a six-story building.

To be exact, the 3rd to 6th floors were used as goshiwon, the 2nd floor was a study cafe, and the 1st floor had a cafe, a lunch box shop, and a convenience store.

I don’t know if it was the building owner’s thoughtful consideration for the residents of the goshiwon, but anyway, the study cafe on the second floor and the cafe and lunchbox shop on the first floor were always crowded with people.

Most of them are probably residents of goshiwon.

I went straight into the lunch box shop.

A hot packed lunch! I missed it so much.

This older sister, no, my older sister will eat it nicely.

Yum yum.

Was it because I was hungry?

I emptied my lunch box in an instant and licked my lips in regret.

Give me some more food… What is this?

I’m still hungry, but I can’t help it.

Ah… I wish I could at least get a meal at the goshiwon.

That was when.

A flash of lightning flashed through my mind.

A simple idea that was brought up as a joke turned into a brilliant idea.

Are you hungry?

Could it be that, like me, you were so hungry that you raided the goshiwon refrigerator?

You might ask why an awakened person would do such a thing because they are so hungry, but didn’t I also go around starving because I had no home or food?

If the refrigerator thief is a weakling, he wouldn’t be able to receive requests from the Hunter Gallery, so wouldn’t it be reasonable for him to commit such petty theft?

I got up from my seat, gathered my thoughts, and headed back to the goshiwon.

As I climbed the stairs, I kept wondering what kind of person, what kind of Awakened person, could possibly steal a refrigerator without being caught on CCTV.

‘Could he be an electronic warfare expert?’

Among the current Awakened Ones, the most famous and powerful Awakened One of the electronic lineage is the one who possesses the power of the cyber world, commonly known as the Cyber King. He is Mr. Kang Ji-oh.

He was also the Awakened One who resolved the Special Monster and Lucky Letter incident.

What we can learn from this is that there are Awakened beings capable of electronic warfare.

With that kind of ability, I don’t think he’d bother raiding the refrigerator in a goshiwon… .

Because, the electronic awakener was so rare that everyone wanted to recruit him.

Why else would it be said that if you just develop your electromagnetic abilities, you get a free pass to Hunter Academy?

The rumor that they would be pulled out unconditionally regardless of the level of their ability was so rare that it was openly circulated in the Hunter world, and that was the case in the Electronic World.

If it’s not an electromagnetic field, then what?

There was something to check first.

Although they are able to fight against monsters because they have the power to cut themselves off from the world using magic, the Awakened are beings who are strictly bound by the laws of the existing material world.

You can always apply your supernatural powers to yourself.

However, applying force to a completely different object like a refrigerator was another matter.

That is, if it weren’t for the electromagnetic field, the moment the refrigerator door was opened, the image would inevitably be captured on CCTV. Hunter might be able to hide himself, but he wouldn’t be able to hide the refrigerator.

Is teleportation possible?

Even if that’s true, I don’t understand why someone with that kind of ability would commit such petty theft.

You’ll know when you try it.

I need to set a trap in the kitchen.

A trap that cannot be escaped even if the target is an Awakened One.

It’s time to get out your pension tools.
