I came back to earth and felt diluted.

Since there is no energy in nature, it is not surprising that energy and energy are useless, but it was disappointing.

‘One of the advantages of being a peak expert has disappeared.’

Still, it was okay because my magical energy did not recover from nature, but came from the paranormal spirit along with psychic energy.

With that in mind, I sat down on the sofa and ordered chicken first.

Kim Yuna was not at the gate, so I chose two condiments and soy sauce to eat for myself.

Only then did I check the time.

“Just one month has passed. Have you been in the martial arts world for five months?”

The different flow of time was really convenient.

Otherwise, it would have been really difficult to travel back and forth between the martial arts world while paying attention to Earth’s schedule.

“No, what is more important than that is dimensionality. There are two new points.”

This time, the radius of the dimensional mirror has increased and two new universes have been added, possibly due to the B-level promotion and peak of superpowers.

[Magic Universe, Magical Universe], [Divine Universe, Godly Spiritual Universe]

If this were a completely different world like the energy universe, there was endless things that could be gained.

“I want to go in right now, but there’s work left on Earth.”

I had to go on an overseas deployment and get certified as a B-level hunter.

To be honest, I thought about hiding my powers and living as a C-rank hunter.

However, there was no way to obtain Class A superpowers because it was a state secret.

There are only 300 Class A hunters in the world, so if countries step in and control information, ordinary people like me will have no access to it.

This could also be seen as a global regulation against unregistered psychics.

“There is too much fake information on the Internet… Even if you try to find out personally, there is no connection.”

Brainwashing government personnel with Babel is out of the question from the beginning.

There was no word on what defenses they would have made against such mental abilities or how many people would have to be brainwashed.

However, the method of hacking into bare ground like the early A-level hunters is too uncertain and takes a long time.

In addition, the early A-level hunters had a monstrous talent for supernatural powers, and as soon as they were awakened, they recognized and controlled the paranormal spirit and often started at B-level. One thing was grade A. It’s not something I can keep up with since I started out with Class D superpowers.

And in order to grow to A-level, you have to challenge the high-level gate, but as a C-level hunter on paper, I would be blocked at the entrance.

In the end, since he cannot give up his A-level superpowers, he has no choice but to certify as a B-level hunter.

“First of all, I need to get a good rest today and tomorrow.”

My body and mind were exhausted from just practicing for five months.

I ate the chicken that arrived and watched the news on my phone.

To find out what happened during the month.

Lewis, Zhang Wei, Free Crime.

To understand this, you had to know someone with S-class ability.

Jiang Wei, the first S-class hunter from China.

It is famous for wiping out large numbers of high-ranking Chinese superpowers and legions while fighting against the Chinese government.

In the end, he escaped after being bombarded with nuclear bombs, but surprised the world by surviving despite being hit directly by a nuclear bomb.

Luis Amber, S-class hunter from Brazil

They stage a coup, take control of Brazil, and invade neighboring countries by force, aiming to unify South America.

Of course, since it is a challenge to the hegemony of the United States, the United States is at the level of archenemy. They say they are trying to interfere with it through assassinations, bribes, and support for annexed countries, but it doesn’t seem to be working very well.

Freecrime is an organization where people with future prediction abilities from all over the world come together to assist Oracle, an S-class hunter from Spain.

Oracle is an S-class future-predicting ability whose information is classified as top secret. Rumor has it that she was one of the earliest awakeners and is the reason the United States holds world hegemony to this day.

“Hmm… not much has changed.”

Nothing has changed since before I entered the martial arts world.

The biggest news was that Guyana was annexed by Brazil.

Not only one country has failed so far, but 60 countries have failed since Gate came out, so I was not impressed.

To begin with, 40 of the world’s 190 countries had populations of less than a million people, so they all collapsed or were absorbed into their surroundings long ago. Guyana was able to hold out for a long time.

I lost interest in the news and turned on the TV.

An entertainment channel has appeared where hunters play hide-and-seek with each other.

Transparency vs. Transformation vs. Sensation vs. Perception

I was immediately interested in the subtitle of the entertainment show, so I straightened my posture and watched TV.

I hung out at home for three days and headed to the hunter association.

As I applied to the receptionist for a B-level hunter review, I felt that all the attention around me was focused on me.

“Hunter, wait a moment. I’ll call the team leader.”

The receptionist couldn’t finish in her own line and called someone higher up.

“This is my first time seeing this face. Who is it?”

“I’m jealous…”

“Ha. When will I get to B level?”

The hunters in the surrounding lobby who heard my voice were making a fuss.

There are about 300 people with B-level ability in Korea.

They boasted that they were 0.3% of the talented hunters in the Korean hunter industry, with a number almost equal to that of members of the National Assembly.

If you are very interested in the hunter industry, you can know the faces of almost all B-class hunters.

If a C-level talent is at the level of a military subcontractor.

The B-class ability was at a level that replaced the military, and was invincible to small arms and even defended against heavy weapons, making it the main force in attacking gates and a powerhouse in the hunter industry.

I was guided to the association’s basement by the association’s receptionist.

In grade C, the inspection was simple, but from grade B onwards, it seems that precise measurements are required.

I first measured physical ability.

Even though the body’s energy and energy are naturally converted into strength to assist the action, the result was a B-level pull-up.

I was secretly hoping for a middle rank, but it seemed like the B-level physical enhancement ability was stronger than I thought.

“Triple ability…”

The measurer looked very surprised, thinking I was a person with physical enhancement abilities.

Dual abilities are surprisingly common, but triple abilities are very rare.

My strength, which is a combination of martial arts and superpowers, is probably the highest level among B-level abilities.

Xenoglossy and Unification Language are easily passed by interpreting foreign language and foreign language questions that appear on the computer.

Telekinesis is measured by lifting the water in a swimming pool, and I was curious about how much weight I could lift, so I tried out my power.

It was able to lift over 40 tons of water, but it was difficult to lift it properly because of the flowing water. I could have lifted more if it had been rocks instead of water.

Lastly, I measured my psychic energy. It was a device that directly measured the amount of my psychic energy without the need for me to put in any psychic energy.

My real superpowers are telekinesis (C) and barbell (C++)

The difference between the C-level and B-level hunter levels was whether or not the paranormal spirit itself could be added to the superpower, so the base of the superpower itself remained at the C level.

However, from level B, you can directly absorb psychic energy and grow through paranormal spirit, but I am still in a transparent state with only two gate capture records.

So, values similar to the psychic energy of telekinesis (C), physical strengthening (C), and xenoglossy (D) were measured, and I was able to be recognized as a B-class hunter.

I wasn’t promoted to B class for nothing.

This is because if there is a change in psychic energy while training in another universe, the measured values will become abnormal and it will be difficult to be promoted to a B-class hunter.

“Congratulations. Hunter. Here is the B-level hunter license. For hunters, the government provides free apartments, tax benefits, abolition of mandatory gate quotas, deployment of dedicated association staff, exclusive pension, and lawyers…”

A man named Ahn Jun-su, the head of the association, approached me and explained to me the benefits of being a B-class hunter. I don’t know if it was followed, but what I was aiming for was the abolition of the mandatory gate quota that is granted annually to nationally certified hunter teams. I will be visiting Earth frequently in the future, but it is difficult to travel back and forth.

After responding appropriately to the association manager, I returned home from the association.

I liked my existing house, which was familiar and a private house, rather than the apartment provided by the association.

In the first place, there were rumors that the association’s apartments had surveillance devices installed.

As I sat on the sofa and looked at my phone, I saw that my B-level promotion had been posted through an internet article.

[NBC] From grade D to grade B in two months? Lim Yu-han, a hot topic rookie

100 comments

“It doesn’t feel bad to get attention.”

No, rather, it was the reaction I wanted. If I get promoted to A or S level, won’t I be all over the internet?

Ding dong

The doorbell rang and I went out and saw a young woman wearing the association uniform.

He was a cute guy with straight black hair and a gentle appearance, and when he saw me, he smiled brightly and started talking.

“Hello. My name is Chae Yu-ah, and I am Hunter Lim Yoo-han’s dedicated association employee. I visited because of the information you requested about the gate and Class A psychic powers.”

Association dedicated staff.

In fact, it was safe to say that it was a government surveillance station.

Once you become a B-level hunter, you will receive love calls from overseas.

No, it’s hard to find a country that doesn’t do it.

The United States is especially notorious for this.

Right now, Korea also brought in 40 B-class hunters from Southeast Asia.

This is because it is an advanced country and the overseas dispatch system is surprisingly attractive. For hunters who want to become stronger, it is essential to attack gates, but high-level gates other than levels 5, 6, and 7 do not open often.

South Korea is a hunter-sending country that ranks next to China and India.

There are countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh, but they are closer to hunter exporting countries.

So, if you want to enjoy a civilized life and attack the gate, Korea is not a bad choice.

In any case, I had a reason to make this government spy, a dedicated association employee, on my side.
