Chapter 25

Sung-hyun lowered his head.

The embarrassed old man was speechless for a moment.

However, he soon nodded in the strong will of Sung-Hyun.

“It’s hard to understand… You got a feeling. Sometimes such guests come. There’s connection between a man and a sword.”

The old man handed the sword back to him.

Then a sincere smile was built around Sung-Hyun’s mouth.

“Thank you. How much do I owe you?”

“No, I can’t sell this for money.”

“What? But I can’t get it for free…….”

“Then you want me to get money for a failure that I didn’t offer for sale? If you don’t like it, put the sword down. Or think of it as a gift to celebrate becoming awakened.”

Sung-Hyun nodded at the determined attitude of the old man.

“…then I’d appreciate it.”

The old man, who turned his back, grumbled back into the studio again.

“Don’t go anywhere and die. I don’t know if you’ve forgotten the days when you struggled to survive, but these days, Hunters don’t even know the worth of life.”

Sung-Hyun, who obtained the weapon, came out from the blacksmith’s shop.

It’s definitely in his hands, and he can always check it out in the status window.

But it was still unbelievable.

“Are you sure I got this sword?’

The ‘Best’ grade sword displayed in the status window.

The weapon was rated for no reason, and it was a figure that kept drawing attention.

‘The weapon’s attack capability has gone several time higher than the previous one. Besides, I can’t believe my weapons are stronger depending on my mana.’

[Failed mana response]

[The user’s mana is too weak to command the weapon yet.]

‘Well, I’m afraid it’s not responding yet.’

Since it was the finest sword in the world, it seemed that Sung-Hyun, who had just awakened, had no mana to handle it.

However, it was shocking that there was a possibility of growth in the weapon, and it would be solved naturally if Sung-Hyun became stronger.

With a satisfied expression on his face, Sung-Hyun moved happily.

“How many more hits did he make up his mind earlier?”

“Hahaha! I know.”

However, in front of him who entered the alley, some rough men were talking loudly, taking over the alley.

Sung-Hyun, who is not interested in others, tried to pass by without thinking much.

However, a man standing nearby suddenly stepped back and bumped into Sung-hyun’s shoulder.

“Huh? What are you?”

“Oh, I’m sorry….”

“You have to be careful, you son of a B1tch!”

Kwaak!

His hand, which suddenly stretched out, grabbed Sung-Hyun’s collar at once.

Strong power that feels like a grasp.

It was Hunter, not a normal person.

‘…What is it?’

Sung-Hyun blinked and looked at his opponent.

Men who are suddenly picking a fight.

He rolled his eyes around just in case he knew about himself.

However, Sung-Hyun was seen holding three or four wallets taken by one of them.

‘Oh, was he just a bully…….’

Bunch who are awakened and live on the backs of ordinary people.

I want to avoid the danger of dealing with monsters, but I do it because I want to make money comfortably.

Other Hunters have at least made some contributions, dealing with dungeons, but these guys did not deserve to be called hunters.

“Hey, what’s wrong with you again? He’s sorry.”

“Oh, let it go. He’s making me mad.”

When his colleagues stopped him, the man shook his clasped arm.

It was an act of bravado, conscious of other people’s eyes.

“…….”

Sung-Hyun’s eyes turned cold.

Even when he wasn’t a Hunter, these local bullies had never grabbed him by the collar.

No matter how much you ignore the inside and treat the employees like hands and feet, once you are a member of Cheongseong’s family, you will see blood if an outsider touches you.

Even if he was an absolute non-awakening person in society, he did not worry about being harmed by other hunters as long as he belonged to Cheongseong.

In fact, this was one of the biggest merit that the sign Cheongseong brought to the general staff.

No matter how much my work life sucks, that’s why I kept working in the guild.

“Let go of this?”

“Oh, look at this.”

An unexpected answer caught him with a disapproving look.

However, Sung-Hyun did not care.

He was grabbed by a man like that by the collar, but he didn’t have enough pride to bend over.

Taak!

Sung-Hyun swept the hand of a man who grabbed the collar in one go.

The hand of the man who was thrown out turned red.

His expression was briefly embarrassed and soon filled with anger.

“You son of a…!”
