Auto Hunting

Ta-ah!

At that moment, Yooseong did not understand what was happening to his body. Shark Ape swings his fist and thinks he's bounced back against it.

But it wasn't.

His two legs, momentarily pushing the ground back.

"What?"

I scream, but there is no sound.

I couldn't move my body. But it's not senseless. I can clearly feel the smell of cold night air and harsh dirt.

The movement of the arms and legs was also different from the feeling of forced swinging around on the ropes like a puppet.

You can feel the focus and tension entering the muscles and joints. It was as if another pilot was moving his body in his head.

Cough.

Grab your fist and lift it to face height.

It's a pose for anyone to fight.

"Holy shit! ’

The meteor screamed inaudibly.

You want to fight with your fists? With a monster?

There's no way to win. We have to run.

I tried desperately, but it didn't work. Stare at the Shark Ape in front of you without even turning your head.

-.......

Was it the sudden change in the game? Until then, Shark April, who was slowly approaching, stopped and faced the meteor.

The eye of a shark that can't read emotions.

And then one day,

- Giddy up!

Sharks rush at you with their jaws wide open.

The elasticity of the spring that was pressed down.

"Huh!? ’

Suddenly, his head turned, so he didn't see what he did. It's just the feeling of your arms and legs.

Rapidly slit to the right, while keeping your left upper body stationary. And he quickly punched the trunk of a shark that was passing through with his right arm!

A rebound from the punch came to life. Shark aif's skin was not that hard.

Before even taking a fist, Yooseong's body was in the next position. It's like I'm prepping for something.

Spinning. Half a turn of vision. The center of the body's weight is pulled from the fist to the newly lifted leg.

Perfectly.

Puck!

Weight-bearing backkick.

You feel the push from the tip of your foot hitting the back of a Shark's Aid. The bowl of a Shark's Aid, about two meters long, falls over.

‘Nonsense…’

It was as amazing as the sensation that he had stumbled over a two-star monster, just as absurd as the motion he had taken.

A feeling I've never felt in my life.

It feels like the bones and muscles of your whole body are perfectly engaged!

Though it is moving with an unknown power, it does not give rise to the power and speed that was not present in the body of the meteor.

Until now, he has not been able to use his body properly. The human, adult male body was able to move so efficiently.

Ta-ah!

My body shoots out at a speed I've never been able to reach.

A tremendous sense of liberation! It was an ironic thrill for him to even move his body.

His body reminds me of his help.

Both feet were perfectly weighed, like the previous kick, hitting the head of the stumbling Shark Ape perfectly and accurately.

The impact of flowing into one spot on the occipital.

That was it.

Shark April is no longer on the move.

...

When I woke up in the morning, it was the hospital.

“Ugh…! ”

Pain strikes the whole body.

At that moment, I was worried that he was hurt badly, but soon I realized.

The pain felt throughout the body, although it was severe before, was familiar with it.

Muscular pain.

The spectacular action scene from last night was not a dream.

With the fall of Shark Ape, Yooseong was able to move again. Soon, police, hunters and paramedics were dispatched and Yooseong was brought to the hospital.

But here? ’

The room with Yooseong was a single room.

I definitely remember falling asleep in the ambulance.

"Paddy, I'm not paying for this, am I? ’

Thinking about the money, I looked around the room, and it was noticeable.

“....... ”

About 30 centimeters horizontally from the chest of the meteor.

It looked familiar. Now there's a button on the entertainment machine that doesn't look too good.

It was the switch that made Yooseong the hero of the action movie last night.

Yooseong reached out his hand. I didn't mean to push. I just wanted to see if I could touch it once with indiscretion.

Zec.

But the button was out of reach. The hand reached straight through the button. This made me realize the difference.

‘It's gray now. ’

Yesterday, the button in front of the Shark Ape was green and illuminated.

And now there's no such thing as automatic hunting by pressing the button.

‘…… because there's nothing to hunt? ’

There is no basis, but the most intuitive reason comes to mind.

Thump.

Then the door of the room opened.

A man in a suit without a tie walks inside.

“Hello."

“Yes, hello...”

“How are you feeling? ”

It's a man's instinct.

When you see someone with better physical condition than you, it will vary from person to person, but you are basically nervous.

It was a natural feeling.

‘Wow, it's big. ’

In this case, the problem was that the opponent was a woman.

The height and body volume evokes the Western model. She would have felt like a glamorous beauty if she hadn't actually worked out her body.

I felt firmness and expertise in my head tied back neatly to my shoulders, and in my body's tight lines.

“I'm sorry that you and your acquaintance had this accident. ”

The woman appeared to have a simple ceremony.

“Those who have suffered damage will soon be rewarded appropriately by the country. And of course, you don't have to pay for it. ”

Neutral aesthetics that make the listener feel trusted.

However, Yooseong couldn't fully care about the woman.

“....... ”

Right in front of his eyes.

The gray button, the green light.

But it was only for a moment. Soon the button lost its light again.

“Yooseong? ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

Yooseong woke up quickly.

It was clear that the button had just been lit, and it had something to do with this‘ three looking woman ’.

But you're saying she's like a Shark's Aid? Why did the fire in the button go out so quickly?

‘... because I was nervous? ’

There are only so many things we have in common.

He looked at the woman. She's pulling something out of her bag.

Honestly, Yooseong was never the axis to go anywhere and kneel physically, but I don't think she would lose to anyone.

Calmly, I calmed down and remembered Yooseong.

Saw her pop her fist out of the bag, smash her chin. Even though I was proud of it, Yooseong had a lot of imagination.

"Oh…"

The green light is back on the button.

Yooseong reached out again. Surprisingly, this time, the button felt vivid.

This proves the hypothesis.

The button illuminates and presses when Yooseong feels tense or threatened.

And the asteroid can illuminate the button with a very simple magnetic implication.

‘Then you press this…’

When I thought about it, the woman showed him the tablet PC.

“This is the CCTV footage of Yooseong last night. ”

If the woman hadn't told me that, I would have thought it was a strange video on foreign news. In fact, the time to beat the monster was much quicker than the time that Yooseong felt.

‘Where's the action actor? ’

The woman asked Yooseong who had lost her words.

“If you don't mind me asking, where are you studying? ”

Many hoped for hunters, so many learned about physical training and hunting through various private/public facilities.

Thinking about it for a moment, Yooseong actually said as it is.

“I never learned anything. ”

“Yes? So self-study or personal...”

“No, no. I'm not trying to be a hunter. I never learned anything about it. ”

“… really? ”

What is it?

The look on my face that I thought would be a solid wall fell so easily. Of course, it was quickly restored.

“Is there a problem? ”

“.... ”

The woman stared at him.

Yooseong did not avoid that gaze but received it naturally.

‘I didn't do anything wrong legally. ’

It is not illegal for a civilian who has not learned anything to fight monsters for self-defense.

“... No. ”

The woman's eyes became suspicious, as if saying so was not reasonable.

“You were quite impressive… for a ‘pure’ performance. ”

When Yooseong narrowed his eyes to unfamiliar terms, she added.

“It's an industry term. It's a state of being naked without the help of a history of physical enhancement or special equipment. ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

“Thank you for your response, by the way. I came to see you because of the reward that Yooseong will receive. ”

“A reward?... Ah! ”

Yooseong opened his mouth.

I didn't even think about it.

“You contributed to the safety of the public. ”

Monster Relief Bounty.

It was a source of income for hunters. Civilians do not have a chance to evacuate early from the area where the rift occurred, but they are rewarded as long as they have proof that they rescued the monster.

The CCTV that the woman showed was evidence.

It was each one of them, right? ’

I've seen it in the Old Town Brochure.

Monster Relief rewards vary depending on the number of stars in your severity.

Obviously, the two-star bailout prize...

“A total of KRW 550,000 will be paid for the relief of a 2-star monster. If you provide ID from a local government office, you can pick it up right from your account. ”

“Oh.”

I can't call it money, but 550,000 won.

After all, it's a lot of money for a generous donation.

‘Clearly, there's a reason hunters make a lot of money. ’

Weird thing to happen is that this is the only monster he's ever been lucky to have, a layman.

I don't know, but the hunters probably made a lot more money last night than the meteor.

But this was a small misconception of Yooseong.

“The purchase rights of the hunting Shark Ape also belong to Mr. Yooseong. ”

“A right to trade?”

“....... ”

Once more, the woman's expression flickers.

You really don't know anything?

I feel like an honest face. "

“... I'm talking about the right to trade in the market. The byproducts of hunting monsters belong to the hunters who contribute to the hunt. ”

For the market, Yooseong had heard of it.

From new materials, all kinds of equipment that can be used by hunters and materials that can be used for strengthening the flesh are extracted from monsters.

However, in this case, the value of the corpse did not have much to do with the number of stars that monsters had.

Even a 1-star monster that is less than a wild dog is more expensive than a 5-star monster that weighs the same amount of gold, while a corpse that is notorious for its usefulness is rubbish.

“I thought they were just for sale in the country. Wow. Hunters make a lot of money then. ”

“This is my contact information. ”

The woman took a business card out of her arms and gave it to me.

“Please do not hesitate to let me know if there are any consequences to the injury or if you have any problems collecting the compensation. ”

Chae Shin-young.

- Second Chief of Special Defense Administration.

It says,

‘Welfare? … Administration? ’

Of course, seeing what I was doing, I thought I was doing it, but isn't it quite far from the administration of some image?

“What is this? ”

A plastic card was stacked underneath the business card.

“This is a temporary pass to the market. You cannot enter unless you are a hunter license or a business associate. ”

“Gasoline.”

He whistled and touched the received.

“... and things are starting to happen around here. Really”

“You responded calmly to the crisis. Think of it as being rewarded for that. ”

Yooseong seriously nodded.

“I know. I've never gotten a number from a woman before. ”

At that moment, Chae Shin-young opened her eyes slightly.

It was the third most visible facial expression change, but the eczema.

This time he smiled for the first time. I could see it, but I couldn't see it at all.

Yooseong thought it was rewarding to throw a joke with courage.

“Well, please be refreshed. ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

Chae Shin-young, who was walking around, turned around.

“Excuse me.”

I stopped answering Yooseong's question.

“Yes.”

“If you don't mind me asking... how much would it cost? The Shark Ape I caught. ”

“I know it's not that expensive. ”

But I saw Yooseong.

At the next moment, Chae Sin-young's mouth tried to say 'but’ and only his mouth.

“Yes?”

“No, it's better to go to the market in person than to hear from someone who might know. It will be a good experience for Yooseong. ”

“...... Yes? ”

There's something wrong with that horse.

It's as if Yooseong will continue to go to that market. He's not a hunter, and he won't be.

Chae Shin-young went out of the room.

“I'll tell you a little bit about it. Curious about people.”

But it's not a big deal. I'm going to say, "It's not that expensive."

I thought so, and Yooseong was lying on the bed.

But it was a mistake.

The shark app that caught Yooseong, it was definitely ‘something’.
