The Protagonists Are Murdered by Me-Chapter 13: The small debut in Korea has ended.
The small debut in Korea has ended.
It was broadcast live over the internet, and most of the viewers were Korean due to the fact that 13 of the 14 hunters and prospects were Korean.
However, after the incident.
Videos of the debut have begun to spread throughout the world.
The reasons were simple.
A dungeon mutation phenomenon occurred in which a C-Rank dungeon upgraded to S-Rank.
And an aspiring hunter who faked awakening as a superhuman by aether doping.
Even with such problems, they managed to clear the S-Rank dungeon with only 14 people.
If you look at each problem separately, the response would have only been, “Oh, another incident like that happened?”
But when you combined both things, it became a hot issue.
First, topics about the rise and fall of C-Rank trainee Lee Yeonjun.
Lee Yeonjun, the first person to finally awaken as a superhuman through hard work and diligence.
Having made his debut as a C-Rank superhuman, many people around the world were already familiar with him.
Even though he has no superpowers, the world was filled with people who really wanted to be a hunter, and so Lee Yeonjun became their ray of hope.
But.
It was all a lie.
[Lee Yeonjun! What’s with your arm!]
As soon as the man’s voice was heard in the video, the camera panned to Lee Yeonjun’s arm.
It was a clear sign of aether doping.
People were shocked and lamented.
The higher the star, the greater the impact from the fall.
Not just that, Lee Yeonjun lost control of himself due to anger from having his secret revealed, which eventually led to the worst possible side effect of aether doping, Mana Poisoning.
Soon after, the video showed Lee Yeonjun chasing a hunter named Yoo Seodam, then everything became a mess, and the video ended with the words “get rid of the camera.”
The details of the second half were not available.
However, there is only one important point.
The 13 hunters and trainees faced both the power of the A-Rank mutant and S-Rank dungeon boss without a single death, and won.
In that case.
Another question rose about how it had been done.
It was natural for the name Jang Hyunsuk, who had the highest rank among the seven veteran hunters, to be brought up.
S-Rank dungeons required at least three S-Rank superhumans, and at least twenty A-Rak superhumans to support them.
Then, the conclusion is that S-Rank Jang Hyunsuk was better than people thought.
It was normal to conclude that…
But.
It wasn’t that.
“It was F-Rank hunter Yoo Seodam’s perfect leadership…”
That’s what all the hunters who survived, including Jang Hynsuk, said.
Without Yoo Seodam’s strategy and knowledge, they would not have survived.
In fact, he supported his D-Rank trainee without much presence throughout the video, but only began to show his presence the moment the dungeon mutation occurred.
In a way it was similar to a professional athlete watching a practice soccer game quietly, then schooling the students as soon as he stepped onto the field.
He immediately took the authority from Jang Hyunsuk and even ignored the orders from headquarters so he could decisively lead the party safely.
Nobody knew how it happened, but Yoo Seodam was the first to notice the dangerous state of Lee Yeonjun, and how to take advantage of it to subue both threats.
“Yoo Seodam, you punk. Wasn’t it only a few days that you were discharged from the hospital? ”
Late afternoon, Incheon International Airport.
Taylor Nine, sitting cross-legged on a bench at an outdoor bus stop, twirled her hair while looking at the articles on her smartphone.
‘I’m glad you’re still active….’
Everyone passing by glanced at her.
Certainly, Taylor Nine looks could be called unique.
Short silver hair, golden pupils, nine piercings on her ears, a lightly exposed dress that was not suitable for the current cold weather, and a fierce but beautiful face, together it made for a striking appearance.
“Isn’t that the S-Rank hunter, Taylor Nine?”
“What? The one that’s active in Europe?”
“Wow. Awesome. She’s so pretty. Should we try talking to her?”
“Does she speak English?”
Taylor Nine turned her head sharply as people around her began to whisper in Korean.
Then, she spoke in very clear Korean.
“What are you looking at? Get lost!”
“W-what?”
“You understand Korean, don’t you?”
“What’s your problem…”
The disgruntled passerby hurried on their way after seeing Taylor Nine’s fierce eyes.
After they left, Taylor Nine turned back to her smartphone.
[Guild Lost Day’s statement on the mana poisoning…]
[New scandal on Lost Day.]
[Total denial of the mutant.]
Korea’s giant guild Lost Day, little by little, was faltering.
It was very interesting to her.
Because not long ago it was where Seodam was strangled like a slave.
“Good. You little bastards.”
Of course, Lost Day was a giant guild and wasn’t hurt too badly by just a few scandals.
But for some reason Taylor Nine was quite happy that Lost Day was shaken even a little.
Taylor Nine sprang up from her seat, stretched out, and soon smiled.
It would have been great if she could help Seodam, but it was difficult coming to Korea with the number of cases she had to deal with.
“It’s been a long since since we’ve gone on a hunt together, so I’m going to ask him while he’s not in a guild.”
Boom!!
The sandbag, which was struck by my fists, eventually busted open.
With my hands on the wall, I gasped for air as my whole body shook in excitement.
Three days after the S-Rank dungeon.
I’ve been experimenting with my abilities, and now I can safely say.
That my physical ability has finally made it to E-Rank.
My whole body is overflowing with energy.
This is the power gained through leveling up.
In addition, I successfully hunted Lee Yeojun and was able to steal one talent and skill from him.
[Lee Yeonjun’s talent Deprived (A) has been absorbed.]
My face soured when I saw this message.
[Lee Yeonjun’s skill Attention (A+) has been absorbed.]
Then, I was filled with great expectations when I saw this message.
Attention.
How powerful did Lee Yeonjun become through this skill?
However, as expected, it was not a normal skill.
[The skill was created by forcibly twisting the world’s cliché.]
[The acquisition of the skill Attention (A+) has been canceled.]
Then, when I was disappointed because I thought I had wasted one chance.
[Under the influence of cliché, you may choose one talent or skill to absorb, except for the canceled skill.]
In other words, it wasn’t wasted.
In return for not being able to absorb a skill the protagonist had, I was given the option to choose one skill or talent.
‘This, wouldn’t it be great if it happened every time in the future?’
With such a thought, I checked the list of skills and talents Lee Yeonjun had.
Talents Deprived (A) Knitting (B+) Beauty (C-) Study (D+) Charm (D) Youthfullness (E) Flexibility (F) Skills Berserk (S+) Attention (A+) Power Steroid (B) Wind Step (B) Warrior’s Breath (E)
As expected, he had various skills and talents.
Really, I can’t believe he had all these talents.
Like, what was the knitting talent for?
To be honest, my hands were shaking looking at Berserk (S+).
S-Rank superpower.
It was also a superpower in the “side-effect” category, which has unparalleled power.
However.
The side-effect could not be controlled, and it is a fatal disadvantage not being able to activate it when I want, as well as losing my rationale when it did.
Which meant a very sharp double-edged sword.
Rather than that, I wanted an ability that was immediately beneficial.
After much thought, I chose this.
[The skill Wind Step (D) has been absorbed.]
A skill that has a high potential to grow, and can complement my slow movements.
It was a movement series skill.
Superpowers can grow through training, even if they start out low rank.
Of course, I was often blocked by the limits of my talent, but now I don’t have to worry about that anymore.
So I boldly absorbed a low rank skill.
Power Steroid and Berserk were the better choices now, but it is better to build a solid foundation for the future than to be blinded by short term gains.
With this, I’ve obtained a suitable skill, so I was satisfied.
Suddenly, a message appeared.
Talent ‘Intuition A’ and ‘Deprived A’ have resonated.
[Skill Sixth Sense (F) has been created.]
Out of nowhere, my talents resonated and a new skill was created.
That, too, was a skill that I needed very much.
Has there ever been anyone else who have experienced two talents resonating with each other?
Talents were something people were born with.
Unless there is a way to absorb other people’s talents.
I’ve always had a good intuition.
When I felt like I was going to die, or when a real crisis came, or when I felt something was wrong.
It was only when I started hunting protagonists did I realize this was my talent.
Intuition (A) talent.
Then Deprived (A) was gained.
[You can now sense things that the five senses can’t.]
Although the rank was still low, and I couldn’t feel anything right, it was fine.
I had no choice but to avoid monsters in advance before, but now I’ve improved my ability.
In addition, the level of the Protagonist Hunter had risen.
[By successfully hunting three protagonists, the level of Protagonist Hunter has risen by 2.]
[Increased the weight limit to 30kg.]
[From now on you can grasp the flow of the protagonist’s story.]
[Any changes the protagonist makes to their world’s plot, you will be able to sense it.]
…To be honest.
I don’t know what that means.
I just thought it must be a good thing if it had risen in level.
‘Status Window.’
Name Yoo Seodam (Lv. 27) Attributes Strength: 25 Stamina: 24 Agility: 26 Vitality: 1 Mana: 12 Talents Swordsmanship (A+) Intuition (A) Deprived (A) Sharpshooter (C) Hunting (D) Cooking (D-) Skills Protagonist Hunter Lv. 2 White Swordsmanship (S) Wind Step (D) Sixth Sense (F)
Frankly speaking, this was enough for me to live my life leisurely, but I had no intention of stopping here.
Someone approached me as I was cleaning up the smashed sandbag after I checked my ability.
Turning my head, Celeste stood in her casual clothes.
It was a bit of a surprise because I’ve only seen her in her uniform or suit.
A peach dress under a mink coat and black stocking stretched below it.
Seeing her neatly braided hair and light makeup, she seemed to be preparing for something.
Are you going somewhere?
When I was thinking that, she with a sullen look spoke.
“Let’s go buy your equipment.”
“What?”
Oh, that’s right.
I just remembered that I was owed three 2nd-Grade equipment for helping her as a senior hunter.
But…
“Do I need to come with you?”
Then Celeste closed her lips, contemplated something, and soon nodded.
“…Yes”
“Really?”
As far as I know, that wasn’t the case.
In the first place, even the ‘vouchers’ of a workshop can be sent through the phone.
If I just press a button on my smartphone to send the request, everything will be okay.
But in a pretty determined voice.
“I can’t go without you.”
That’s what she said, so in the end I had no choice but to go.
By the way, it was 2nd-Grade.
Although it’s not as good as it used to be, it was still 10 to 20 times more expensive than the 3rd-Grade equipment I’m using now and is worth the price.
Wait a minute.
With such equipment, wouldn’t it be possible to hunt down unique protagonists?
For example, a ‘mage.’
Magic was still an unknown ability to me, and I knew very little, but it wouldn’t be for long if I’m given enough time.
I’ve seen enough of how mages fought when I hunted the Holy Sword the other day.
Only
I don’t know much about magic.
There was a high possibility that I wouldn’t be able to use the skill even if I obtain one.
It means I don’t just need magic skills, but talent as well.
And I had seen the perfect opportunity earlier.
#Student_Turned_Out_To_Be_A_Magic_Genuis
#Fantasy #Regression #Academy #Harem
A protagonist with the hashtag ‘genius.’
It gave off the smell of ‘talent.’
For that reason, while I was buying equipment with Celeste, I was also finishing up the last preparation to hunt a mage.
