Professor Gong’s fist, wrapped in magical power, approaches Jihoon’s nose.

A situation on the verge of being hit

This urgent moment.

Jihoon suddenly felt a strange feeling.

Magical power that I thought had already been extracted.

But for some reason, I feel like I can open a wormhole.

Jihoon was able to raise his inner strength and swat away Professor Gong’s hand that was holding his ankle in the mirror, but for some reason, he felt like opening a wormhole behind him.

And my heart was filled with confidence that I could do it again.

Duuung

Jihoon, who raises magical power, or rather summons magical power.

From nowhere, a green energy in the air enters Jihoon’s body, and soon a wormhole opens behind him.

“Huh? What is that, isn’t it a skill?”

“Sure. Didn’t that bastard use up all his magical powers?”

“Hey… But look at that skill. There’s some kind of strange energy coming out of it?”

“What kind of energy is this… That cheater, you didn’t draw all your magic earlier!”

Without paying any attention to the noisy cadets, Ji-hoon’s new model enters the wormhole behind him as if it were being sucked in.

And right after

puck

A wormhole appears behind Professor Gong, who is running towards him, and Ji-hoon reappears and strikes the back of Professor Gong’s neck with the back of Baekwol’s sword.

Professor Kong falls down

Jihoon standing blankly

Jihoon falls into a swamp of his own thoughts in a noisy auditorium.

Even though the magic power was all gone, the wormhole opened.

What was the magic power that opened the wormhole a little while ago?

And when he used magical power, he always had the feeling that it was not his own power, but rather borrowed power from something.

‘Actually, if you think about it, it doesn’t make sense to open a wormhole to the level of Wulin when the level was lower than it is now.’

Current skill leveled up through Igzel’s heart and Tonygl’s heart.

It was at a remarkable level where it could move between continents with ease.

However, in the past, when Jihoon was at a lower skill level than he is now, he opened the dimensional door to the martial arts world.

At the time, I thought it was just a side effect of the skill,

As I raised my skill level and learned more about magic, I couldn’t deny that something felt foreign to me.

Strange, unexplainable things like this keep happening to me.

If you worry about it alone, you will never be able to solve it.

Ji-hoon quickly comes to his senses and immediately finds Professor Gong.

but…

“Professor!!!”

“Professor, come to your senses!!”

“What should I do with this… Hurry, healer… Healer!!”

I didn’t realize it as I was standing there lost in thought, but Professor Gong was sprawled out on the floor, bleeding from his nose.

Killer

The world’s most merciless person

A man without blood or tears

The eyes of the Class 2 cadets, who were shaking Professor Gong up after he fell and carrying him up, were continuously throwing silent curses at Jihoon.

Ah…I guess I made a mistake in controlling my strength.

Jihoon scratches the back of his head in embarrassment and naturally moves into the crowd of people worried about Professor Gong.

“It’s okay…are you okay, Professor? Haha…I need to control my strength…”

False

So-jeong, who was the first to rush out and take care of Professor Gong, shoos away Ji-hoon, who had quietly joined the group.

“Ha… I’m in big trouble”

For the first time since Jihoon arrived in modern times, it was the moment when he regretted using his strength.

***

“You’re okay, right…”

Jihoon with a sorry expression

In front of him, Professor Gong is seen lying in bed and just beginning to come to his senses.

“Do you look okay? Professor, sue this guy, sue!”

Sojung was next to Jihoon.

Just as Professor Gong cared for So-jung, So-jung also seemed to follow Professor Gong with great respect as a teacher.

“I know that hunters don’t exchange complaints or anything like that.”

“Didn’t you say you’re not a hunter ‘yet’?”

” I said [I’m not a proper hunter yet]…but I’m a hunter…”

Sojung is watching Professor Gong and Jihoon playfully chatting.

She stands up with an expression of disgust.

“I’ll bring you something to drink. Professor”

“Okay, thank you, Sojeong.”

“I like coke”

Jerrit

Sojung’s eyes are focused on Jihoon as if they would pierce through him.

Shocked

Jihoon avoids her gaze.

Sojung opens the door and goes outside.

She was considerate so that Jihoon and Professor Gong could talk comfortably.

She was also someone who felt a strange atmosphere during the fight between two people that suddenly broke out in the auditorium.

A little while after the decision was made.

Jihoon breaks the silence with a light conversation.

“I couldn’t control my strength…”

“Hehe”

Professor Gong laughed it off, but in fact, he was still feeling an intense pain in the back of his neck.

“You’re using a power other than magic, right?”

“Yes…what…”

“Can I ask what it is?”

Jihoon answered Professor Gong’s questions without hesitation.

“Naegong… It’s called. It is drawn from the Danjeon.”

“Hmm…the internal strength…is amazing, but was it by any chance the maximum strength?”

“…I used… very little…”

Jihoon looked quite sorry, but told me everything honestly.

“Hmm…as expected…it’s amazing. When I ran out of magical power, I saw your movements and felt something was different from others.”

“Do you…do you think I saved my magic power and used it later?”

Jihoon was the first to bring up something that Professor Gong could be suspicious of.

“No…you clearly squeezed out all of your magical power and materialized it. I saw it and felt it right in front of me, so it must be true.”

“So, how was I able to display my skills in the end?”

“You…are you very interested in magical power?”

“Actually… I’m more interested in skills and my movement skills rather than magic power itself.”

“Magic power and skill are things that cannot be considered separately. When I fought you…I felt a strange magical power from you other than your own.”

“Strange magic power? Isn’t it a skill?”

“No, it was definitely magical power. Do you think I would have raised my full magical power and attacked you instead of teaching you?”

It was like that.

Professor Gong actually rushed at Jihoon too suddenly.

When I saw him with a strange expression, I was devastated because Jihoon was there to deal with him.

Looking at the picture alone, it was as if Professor Gong was rushing to catch his student like a rat without any context.

but…

Both Jihoon and Professor Gong knew.

I can’t explain it, but there are definitely moments when you need to communicate with your body rather than just your mouth.

“Isn’t this the first time something like this has happened?”

“It’s not the same, but something strange happened. There was a time when I displayed skills that were much higher than my skill level.”

Jihoon spoke to Professor Gong, recalling the moment ten years ago when he achieved dimensional travel.

“You said magical power was just a tool.”

“Ah. That thought remains unchanged. I study and train magical power because it is useful, but in reality, it is not really necessary-”

“Do you think you would have been able to obtain your other powers even if you were an ordinary person rather than an awakened person?”

thud

Jihoon felt like he had been hit on the head with a hammer.

It was like that.

horsepower.

Skill.

Hunter.

awakening.

Everything was possible because he was an awakened hunter and used his magic to develop his skills.

He went to the martial world, learned martial arts thanks to it, and met Yeonhwa.

It was something that everyone could never have dreamed of if they had not awakened.

Even if magic power is not used much in battle.

His life itself had already been filled with events caused by magic for a long time.

“Hunters… are commonly referred to as those chosen to protect the world.”

Professor Gong looks out the window and mutters as if complaining.

“I’ve been a fighter for quite some time, and then a researcher for quite some time. The conclusion I came to is this. I don’t know about protecting the world, but I’m sure I was chosen.”

Although he couldn’t understand everything he said seriously, Jihoon didn’t want to miss a single word.

Is that true or is it a bullshit philosophy.

I felt like I had to listen to everything Professor Kong said now.

“Awakening that creates magic power and skills. Just as everything in the world has a cause and effect. There must be some reason for our awakening. And it is clear that the result is our lives now.”

Professor Gong soon looked at Jihoon’s face and spoke again.

“You were already chosen when you awakened. To someone who doesn’t know what it is. And…all hunters are programmed to crave stronger magic power and stronger skills. You better accept that fact.”

Jihoon could not refute Professor Gong’s words.

Jihoon went to Moorim.

The biggest goal in his life is to return to the martial arts world.

In order to do so, it was inevitably necessary to obtain stronger magical power and a higher level of skill.

Before he knew it, Jihoon calmly revealed his secret.

“I think everything the professor said is correct. Actually, I need a higher skill level. A high level of movement skill that allows for dimensional travel…”

“Hmm… Speaking of dimensional travel… I guessed there must be some story behind it, but it seems it’s bigger than I thought. I will help you. I don’t know if it will help.”

At Professor Gong’s words, a bright smile blooms on Jihoon’s face.

“Are you sure? Thank goodness… I’m glad. I was only vague… but now I will become a proper hunter and achieve my goal. Please teach me a lot.”

“Yeah…yeah…but what is your skill level now? I need to know exactly what a movement skill is…”

“Yes. Nowadays, it seems like you can go anywhere on the planet in one step. The last time I used skills in class was when I visited Brown in New York.”

“……New York?……You can easily move between dimensions, right…?”

You went to New York in one step?

brown? Are you talking about Brown, the S-class hunter from the Big Number Guild?

Professor Gong is already starting to regret his hasty decision to help just ten seconds ago.

What the heck… can I be of help?

It seems that Professor Gong’s honest feelings do not reach Jihoon…

Jihoon kept smiling brightly and seemed to be making various plans in his head.
