episode_0057

After eating the second ramen so cleanly that the bottom of the bowl was exposed, Jihoon and Sojung finally stood up.

When Sojung tells the story she has been hiding, she suddenly starts crying, but then quickly changes to a hopeful expression.

Ji-hoon looks at her strangely.

The two took a taxi again and went to the ‘Gate that Doesn’t Disappear’.

Ji-hoon and So-jung get off the taxi and find that the area in front of the gate is much quieter than before.

There were no groups of Japanese soldiers or big number hunters, including Class 1 cadets.

There were only two people standing there, a huge white man and a white woman with a familiar silhouette.

“Huh? Ellie? When did you come?”

When Ji-hoon recognizes the woman and pretends to know her, So-jung, who is next to him, quickly glares at Ji-hoon.

Ellie, who has a model-like body and is wearing an overly revealing dress, greets the two with a bright smile.

“I also came to Japan early to serve as an interpreter. It’s been a few days since I saw you. This is brown. Our big number-”

Powwow

“brown!!”

“Jihoon!!”

Even before the introductions began, Jihoon ran out to meet the large Brown who was rushing towards him at a speed that was difficult for the eye to keep up with.

Their fists collide and the surrounding air shakes.

“kang? i wanna check-”

Powwow

Ji-hoon has no intention of listening to Brown’s words until the end.

Jihoon’s roundhouse kick is stopped by Brown’s hand right in front of his face.

“what the fuck…what kind of-”

Fuuu

As Jihoon’s regime comes in, freeing the trapped leg, Brown’s right fist collides with him again.

This collision must have been much stronger than before, as not only the atmosphere but also the floor caved into a huge circle around the two.

“I also prefer physical greetings rather than verbal greetings.”

Grinning

Jihoon’s smiling face disappears in an instant.

Jihoon demonstrates movement skills and walking techniques together.

A strong expression appears in Brown’s eyes as he watches his movements.

“wow”

bang

bang

bang

Ji-hoon suddenly appears behind Brown and extends his fist three times in a row, and Brown raises his magic power to block him.

A horrifying sound, similar to what you would hear when hitting a piece of iron with a hammer, echoes through the air.

Brown, who had been blocking Jihoon’s attack, quickly retreats back and returns to Ellie’s side.

Brown telling her something

Ellie hears him and approaches Jihoon, making a clicking sound.

“Brown wanted to test Hunter Kang. When he saw the bodies of the elves inside the gate, he wondered how strong the hunter was. And…”

After Ellie catches her breath, she continues speaking with a somewhat serious expression on her face.

“Hunter Kang says it must be S-class. It is said that the only S-class hunter who can parry his own fist like this”

After Ellie’s words, Brown also takes a step and approaches Jihoon and Ellie.

Eventually, Ellie immediately translated Brown’s words.

“Judging by the fact that he has a sword, he appears to be a swordsman, but I wonder how he has such high martial arts skills. It seems like you only use a little bit of magic power when using movement skills. Do you have any other skills? Again…”

Brown, with a bright expression, was pouring out various questions through Ellie’s mouth.

He looked quite excited and seemed to be very interested in the strong hunter he had not seen in a long time.

“I am a complete martial arts hunter who only uses skills that enhance physical abilities. How many times in his life has the person who withstood my fist and made peace with me-”

“Wait”

Jihoon stops Brown, who is talking excitedly, and Ellie, who is busy interpreting.

Question marks appeared in the eyes of the two people, and they seemed to be waiting for Jihoon’s next words.

“Who blows the whistle?”

Jihoon’s absurd tone made Ellie confused as to how to interpret it.

“Kang…Kang Hunter…”

When Ellie does not interpret Jihoon’s words, Brown looks at her strangely and urges her to do so.

“Interpret. Ellie. ‘Brown you and I are not on the same level.’ Quickly.”

When even Jihoon spoke as if urging him on, Ellie looked very troubled but carefully interpreted Jihoon’s words and told them to Brown.

Ppajik

Brown’s face becomes strangely distorted.

A burst of magic energy leaks out from the giant’s size in an instant.

“I didn’t do my best either, but the young hunter is saying that he’s being overly… overly arrogant…”

Ellie, with a deathly expression on her face, translates Brown’s words and delivers them to Jihoon.

Grinning

The corners of Jihoon’s mouth rise.

“You tested my skills, so I will test yours. This also means judging whether the big number can handle that gate.”

When Jihoon confidently shouts out to Brown, Ellie looks at Jihoon with earnest eyes and stops him.

“Kang Hunter…please…Brown just wanted to check how strong Kang Hunter was”

“Me too, Ellie. I also wonder how strong an S-class hunter is and how strong the head of a world-class guild is.”

Ellie listens to Jihoon and translates for Brown with a helpless expression.

Brown heard him.

The intense magic that was bursting out of his entire body spread thinly and enveloped his body, and soon the energy became even colder and sharper.

“Insolent. How dare you test me as a cadet at a Korean academy? He says, let me fix that arrogance… Hunter Kang… Please, please don’t just let it go – ”

“It’s dangerous, so avoid the direction where Sojeong is and look around, Ellie.”

Jihoon points in the direction where Sojung is, sends Ellie, unfastens the Baekwol from his waist and throws it at Sojung.

“Sojeong, keep it for a moment”

As Ji-hoon shouts out loud, So-jung catches Baekwol flying away and gestures for Ellie.

“You Fucking Arrogant”

Jihoon couldn’t understand English well, but he seemed to vaguely know what Brown was saying just from the nuance and atmosphere.

Jihoon shrugs his shoulders

“Adon Nid Sword”

Jihoon makes funny faces and speaks broken English to provoke Brown.

Jihoon’s words about testing Brown’s abilities were not for nothing.

Even the elves in the gate were much stronger than modern A-level hunters.

However, there was no telling what kind of scary guys Kundanil would bring from another world next.

It wasn’t important that Big Number was one of the world’s largest guilds and that Brown was an S-class hunter.

Completely different beings from another dimension.

Does Big Number and Brown actually have the power to deal with them?

Jihoon wanted to know that.

Of course, it was not for the peace of Japan, which owns the gate, or for the safety of Big Number Hunters.

Jihoon didn’t want to miss Kundanil again, so he just wanted to prepare a surefire device before that guy showed up next time.

Hwiung

Brown’s large body moves at an incredibly fast speed.

The magic power spread thinly and enveloped his entire body, acting like a buff to aid his movement.

When he moved forward, it broke the air resistance and increased his speed, and when he jumped, it became a new ground in the air, allowing him to climb higher.

Brown, who had been attacking Jihoon and threatening him, jumps high into the sky.

The intention was to use the falling acceleration to add destructive power to his attack.

“Oh…stuttering in the air? Looks similar?”

Jihoon was secretly amazed as he watched Brown’s movements and application of magical power.

Among the hunters I have encountered in the modern world, he was the one whose movements were most similar to those of a martial artist.

Judging from the fact that he used magical power as if it were an internal attack, Brown was a hunter who was good enough to attract Jihoon’s attention.

Brown, who is quite high in the sky, falls at a crazy speed like a hawk hunting for prey.

In front of his iron fist, magic power split the air and increased its speed.

Although it had a large body, the attack was as sharp as an awl.

All attack power concentrated on that one point of the falling fist.

It was a situation that could not be avoided due to the incredible speed.

Grinning

At that time, an interesting idea suddenly appeared in Jihoon’s head.

Duuuung

A space-traveling wormhole opens beneath Jihoon’s feet.

Brown’s body is sucked in along with Jihoon, who enters first.

“what the fuck!!!”

The fist that should have hit Jihoon did not reach his body.

The body that should have landed on the ground earlier is still floating.

Jihoon laughs and creates a wormhole below himself several times, narrowly moving with Brown again and again.

from floor to sky

From the floor to the sky again

Brown’s body, which had suddenly lost momentum, was not shooting but was just falling.

I can’t see Jihoon, who should be in front of me.

Only Jihoon entered the last space-traveling wormhole.

Brown fell to the ground.
