In the end, I didn’t even know what kind of ability it was.

    But time was equal.

    Time passed without stopping, whether I worried or not.

    Meanwhile, the old man told me not to register for no reason.

    “Why are you pretending to be incompetent? The power-hungry meta is over.”

    “Think about it. Imagine that you came to register while explaining your abilities.”

    I see numbers above your head.

    And it goes up.

    But I don’t know what kind of ability it is?

    “I should have looked at your face for a while before giving you my number?”

    “But I guess I’m a bit more mature, right?”

    “I’m going to give you the number of a doctor I know because I think you have a mental illness, you little punk!”

    The man hit my head hard with his right hand.

    So it swelled.

    The old man’s hand.

    The old man muttered with a puzzled expression for the first time.

    “…Your hair is so damn strong.”

    “You have a strong head!”

    The old man spoke again, sprinkling the paste on his hands.

    “Anyway, if it’s a useless ability, it’s definitely better not to register.”

    “It’s illegal if you don’t register.”

    “If you don’t get caught, it’s legal.”

    Perhaps tired of talking, the old man stopped talking and took a sip of water.

    And as soon as he cleared his throat, he continued speaking.

    “Ambiguous, without precedent, and I don’t even know what the ability is? This is fucked up.”

    “Isn’t it good that my name is on it first?”

    “What would it be like if a rare disease was named after you?”

    I thought about it like the old man said.

    From now on, I’m going to name this bottle after you.

    My name is Kim Shin-woo.

    “Ah…”

    “Do you understand now?”

    “Isn’t that so cool?”

    “Fuck, I’m the idiot for expecting you to understand.”

    The old man began to bandage his hand with a tired expression.

    After wrapping the bandage, he spoke to me with a slightly serious expression.

    “You don’t know anything about how to register your skills, do you?”

    “Isn’t it over if I just go to the administrative welfare center and register?”

    “Sit down. I’ll start telling you a fucking story.”

    After hearing the old man’s lengthy explanation, only one thought remained in my head.

    If you register, you’ll be really screwed.

    ***

    The skill registration process the old man talked about was even more fucked up than I thought.

    The first thing you need to do is submit the form.

    To register your abilities, fill out the Ability Awakening Report Form on the Internet in HWP format and submit it.

    If you have difficulty using the Internet, you can fill out the report form by hand at a government office and then submit it.

    Then, about 3 days later, you will receive a text message telling you where to register your skills.

    Since the registration location is determined based on ability, there are many cases where you end up going to quite far away places.

    If you’re really unlucky, you might even go to an island.

    Once you arrive at the designated location, follow the instructions to proceed.

    At the end, all procedures are completed by taking the blood of the person with the ability, and after 30 minutes, a necklace is given to you.

    The necklace is linked to vital signs and ability activation, and records various information in real time.

    It’s finally over!

    “No, keep listening.”

    “Fuck.”

    Depending on the classification of the ability, most abilities require a user license.

    In particular, abilities classified as dangerous abilities, such as fire or electricity, require a license that matches the user’s output limit.

    You can only obtain a license if you pass the licensing exam held once every quarter.

    What if your abilities have grown or changed since before?

    Then you have to re-obtain your license.

    It is also impossible to secretly increase the output of one’s abilities.

    If the limit is exceeded, the necklace detects this and contacts the surrounding government offices.

    Then, you must go to the nearest government office and submit a written explanation within 48 hours.

    “Should I tell you something more fucked up?”

    “What is it?”

    “This is the end of the tutorial.”

    “Amy.”

    If you have income from your ability, additional business registration is required.

    Any use of abilities outside of the designated location must be submitted at least 3 days in advance, including the time, date, and scope.

    When conducting banking transactions, you must obtain a separate security card and security certificate.

    The fact that you have to register your residence and report it every time you move, etc.

    This is the K-ability registration that has the world amazed and shedding tears.

    “Just tell the capable people to commit suicide.”

    “It wasn’t this hard originally.”

    The old man laughed in vain with his eyes sunken in.

    “It’s because of one of the lightning power users who fell behind Amy.”

    “What kind of kid is he?”

    “I was a fucking nerd kid. I was a kid who wore a school uniform and had a nickname of Railgun.”

    It’s a school uniform.

    Are you a law enforcement hunter?

    “Are you a minor?”

    “She was wearing a middle school girl’s uniform at the age of 31.”

    If you’re 31 years old…you’re an old woman, right?

    But that’s okay.

    The most important question remains.

    “Is it pretty?”

    “……Man.”

    “Fuck.”

    I shouldn’t have asked.

    Another abyss was about to be imprinted on my mind.

    Did you call, Master?

    Oh, hey! I didn’t call you! Get in, HAL!

    While I was sinking into the primal abyss, the old man suddenly began to grind his teeth.

    “I caught him, but every time I think about it, I feel like I’m going crazy.”

    “You think you’re going crazy because of this?”

    “개새끼야.”

    I tried to hit him on the head, but he showed superhuman patience when he saw the bandages wrapped around his hands.

    The old man sighed and continued speaking.

    “Anyway, if you only look at the ability, the power and usability are only a few. It was considerable.”

    “At best, isn’t it just about robbing an ATM or breaching IT security?”

    Then the old man chuckled and started talking about numerous places.

    “Hospitals, banks, airports, roads, power plants, government offices, workplaces, broadcasting stations, base stations, schools, commercial areas, residential areas.”

    “What’s that all of a sudden?”

    When I asked in a nervous manner, the old man spoke indifferently.

    “The place that bastard paralyzed.”

    ” ….. It’s a really true chew.

    “By the way, I did all that in one day.”

    ” Geo, fuck diligent chew! ◦ ◦ ◦

    The old man gradually got up from his seat and stretched as if it was time.

    “More than anything, it was really tough dealing with him.”

    “How hard is it?”

    “Discharges when approached. Electrocution when touching metal. Conductors can be controlled.”

    “What did you catch it with?”

    Then the old man looked at me as if asking an obvious question and said:

    “I wore rubber gloves and beat him up with a wooden sword and a club.”

    “Alone?”

    “……No.”

    At that moment, the old man’s expression hardened slightly.

    I wondered why, but after hearing the content, I thought it was amazing that he only held on to that level.

    “There was a group of people that went together…”

    “But?”

    “This little shit got a piercing in his butthole and he got electrocuted there.”

    “This kind of thing…hunter?”

    My illusions about the Hunter have already been half shattered.

    By the way, the caught criminal said that he was being used in the power plant.

    There is a human Pikachu, and here’s how to use it.

    Just quietly generate electricity.

    “Anyway, do you know why you shouldn’t register your abilities?”

    “It’s dizzy…”

    They said that Korea was relatively better.

    Russia said its registration rate was 140%, exceeding 100%.

    In the case of China, it is said that capable people within the country have already been registered without their knowledge.

    And in Japan, all registration procedures are done by hand and fax only.

    A seal is of course essential.

    ***

    I neatly wrapped up the registration and came home after training and thought about it.

    I tried to register but I ended up wasting my time.

    Because the ability is ambiguous, it will be seriously messed up from the start.

    – You can’t register this ability here, sir! I’ll tell you the location somewhere else, so go there.

    – The place you just told me about sent me here because it is under this jurisdiction?

    – Oh! I made a mistake. It was somewhere else. I’ll tell you where it is.

    – …That was the first time I went there.

    Is it just the beginning that’s messed up?

    It’s hell until the registration is over.

    – Let’s start a test to verify what kind of ability you have.

    – Please go somewhere else and get additional testing done.

    – Oh, this is ambiguous, but let’s try a few more.

    – Just in case, we may have to restrict entry to some places.

    – Some of the data is gone, so let’s start over from the beginning.

    Is your registration complete?

    Then, that’s when it really begins.

    – Abilities cannot be used here. Those with permanent abilities cannot enter.

    – Those with the ability, please read this pledge and sign it by hand before entering.

    – Sorry. This is a No-Ability Zone, so you cannot enter.

    – Since it is a permanent, continuous business, please count it as income through ability. Please register as a business.

    – There are currently no apartments in our apartment complex that can accommodate people with abilities.

    – For permanent transactions, please enter your security certificate every time you make a deposit or withdrawal.

    – Are you a capable person? Sorry, but you cannot sign up for this insurance product.

    If you ask for help from someone in the middle of nowhere, you’ll get hit in the back of the head hard.

    Are your parents okay?

    no.

    They’re going to force you to register by telling you to eat tonkatsu.

    It was the same when I went to the dentist or got a vaccination.

    Moreover, if someone reports you as a capable person, it will be an even bigger headache.

    Since the bounty is quite large, unregistered users are golden goblins and walking ATMs.

    And of course, the reward is paid by the person who reported it.

    It’s a crazy world where people tell you to be a hunter, but instead of catching monsters, you become a bounty hunter.

    If you think about it that way, the old man is a pretty decent person.

    The downside is that he is crazy and brainless.

    However, as the hair grew back, one of the shortcomings was about to disappear.

    That won’t work.

    The character is originally completed with a fatal flaw.

    I can’t tolerate anything like a finished product.

    I promised myself that I would try again right before I entered college.

    Because it’s right to pull out weeds as soon as they appear.

    But right before I went to bed, I suddenly got so angry that I screamed at myself.

    “K-Ability Registration Really, Amy, did you lose!!!!!!!!!!!”

    “You idiot! Hurry up and hit me!”

    “Yes.”

    I fell into a deep sleep.

    ***

    From then on, until I entered school, I only went back and forth between the training center and my house.

    Classes were replaced with training, and the test was taken only on the day of the test.

    After graduating from high school, which I don’t have many memories of, it was already the day I entered the academy.

    It was the first day of school, but my parents only sent me a text saying, “Do whatever you want.”

    And then immediately went on a long trip abroad.

    Should I press the like button for someone who looks like they’ll have a younger sibling by the age of 20?

    Me first!

    In the end, the one who saw me off on the first day of school was the old man I had been staring at for three years.

    “I have to see your face on a day like this.”

    “I didn’t want to see your face until today either, you piece of shit.”

    Unfortunately, I couldn’t pluck out the old man’s sideburns.

    Whether it was a hunter’s intuition or not, it sensed me like a ghost and ran away every time I aimed for it.

    “I’m amazing at weeding.”

    “Don’t be a jerk, I really want to tear you to pieces.”

    I asked the old man just before entering the academy.

    “Come to think of it, I didn’t know a single name of the old man during the three years I was being beaten.”

    “Oh, right. I didn’t know your name either.”

    “Even so, why doesn’t the old man know my name? What the fuck.”

    Then suddenly the old man clenched his right hand into a fist and spoke while lifting his fingers one by one.

    First of all, the index finger.

    “You idiot.”

    “Yes.”

    Then stop.

    “개새끼야.”

    “Why are you calling me?”

    Finally, the ring finger.

    “You fucking idiot.”

    “What is it?”

    And he said this while folding and unfolding three fingers at the same time.

    “Why do you need a name? You have three answers.”

    “Fuck.”

    I sighed, but there was nothing I could do.

    You can tell me your name right now.

    He extended his hand to the old man and asked for a handshake.

    “This is Kim Shin-woo. You have helped me a lot over the past three years.”

    “…It’s Ryu Kang-hyuk. But can I get some side dishes without you?”

    Mr. Kang Hyuk grabbed my hand.

    “My parents are on a trip right now, so I can’t pick it up.”

    “I……am starving to death?”

    “Please die now. It’s a waste of oxygen.”

    We released our hands at the same time, and Mr. Kang Hyuk waved to me.

    “Don’t die. If you do, I’ll give you a generous settlement.”

    “…Settlement fee? The old man will kill you?

    “Sometimes I wanted to kill him.”

    “Sometimes?”

    “……Sometimes.”

    I also answered, waving my hand.

    “Anyway, see you next time.”

    “If I meet you as a corpse, can I chop off your head?”

    We both gave each other the finger swear word at the same time.

    “Watch out for your head, not mine.”

    “Yeah, that’s crazy. I’ll never wake up in my life, right?”

    “You fucking idiot.”

    That was the end of our breakup.

    It was a truly retarded meeting and retarded parting.

    Still, he was a precious benefactor.

    As you step into the academy, your first goal comes to mind.

    Break it.

    Break Mr. Kang Hyuk’s head.

    There’s only one.

    At that moment, I suddenly felt hungry, so I turned around and headed back to the restaurant area.

    And then Mr. Kang Hyuk and I met again a few minutes later.

    We sat at different tables because we were both embarrassed.
