Damn Hunter Life Chapter 59

The following information was a brief evaluation of stats. It seemed like the system’s assessment of us…… I thought it also partially reflected South Korean public opinion.

==

<Ja Hyeong-woo>

*Balance: High

*Attribute Balance: Highest

Overall: All-rounder except for mobility. Considering the lack of a familiar to assist mobility, top-tier performance.

==

What the system currently evaluates as strongest are two people: Ja Hyeong-woo the healer and Woo Sae-geon the leader.

==

<‘Ox’ Successor>

<Woo Sae-geon>

Endurance: 6

Mobility: 6

Defense: 6

Strength: 6.5

Mental Power: 4

Attribute Affinity: 6.5

==

This monster of a human.

==

<Woo Sae-geon>

*Balance: High

*Attribute Balance: Highest

Overall: Undisputed strongest. Despite appearances, low mental power causes some controversy among the public.

==

‘Mental Power stat.’

Since I didn’t finish reading the original work, I ultimately didn’t see the foreshadowing about Mental Power stats.

Whether this ‘Mental Power’ is directly connected to actual mental health, or if it’s just similar in name only.

If it’s the former, then Woo Sae-geon is……

Ding!

“Ah shit. Speak of the tiger and it comes, no, speak of the ox and it comes.”

I was startled seeing Woo Sae-geon’s call appear on the status window.

The content was, well, as expected.

[If you’re awake, come to the central building meeting room.]

* * *

==

<Myo Cho-hui>

Overall: High-performance dealer with low defense. Can demonstrate top ability when combined with a tanker who provides defense. Lower attribute balance compared to mouse or ox, hence sub-evaluation.

<Jin Seol-woon>

Overall: Currently highest balance. High level both as tanker and dealer. Attribute balance one grade lower than mouse or ox, hence sub-evaluation.

<Sa Ye-ho>

Overall: Assassination-optimized dealer with high mobility despite being fragile with poor endurance and defense. High mental power and surprisingly decent balance.

<Yang Pyo>

Overall: Natural tanker, human shield. Lacking attribute affinity and unstable mental power are disappointing.

<Ma Cheon-ah>

Overall: Strong dealer who compensates for non-top-tier attribute affinity with attribute balance. Expected that affinity will rise in the future.

<Won Ha-ri>

Overall: Already has top attribute balance, if mental growth occurs and familiar is manifested later to raise stats, could even aim for future leader position.

<Hae Mi-jun>

Overall: Good basic physical abilities despite being a healer. Decent balance, expected that heal skills will grow in the future.

==

==

<‘Dog’ Successor>

<Gyeon Gang-hyeon>

Endurance: 2

Mobility: 2.5

Defense: 1.5

Strength: 1.5

Mental Power: 4

Attribute Affinity: 6.5

*Balance: Lowest

*Attribute Balance: Low

Overall: Hopeless. No potential for rehabilitation. Notable that relatively high mental power and attribute affinity, which is ultimately the foundation of all skills, are at the same level as mouse or ox.

Woo Sae-geon and the meeting room.

I wondered if other successors would be gathered too, but soon realized the Stage 30 feedback meeting would have already finished without me.

“Since there are no injured, we’ll do the feedback meeting right away. Rest comes after.”

“Ah, I’m too sleepy to endure it, so just do it without me……”

I escaped on my own feet, truly.

Being sick isn’t a crime, but that’s my situation and I am guilty. Woo Sae-geon must feel sorry that I’m such a weakling who collapses and breaks at every turn. If only my physical condition weren’t like this, he would have ground me to dust long ago.

‘Since the feedback meeting is over too…… thinking everyone would be resting, there’s a high probability Woo Sae-geon is alone in the meeting room.’

I briefly imagined what would follow. A scholar who looks like he wouldn’t bleed even if stabbed sits alone in a meeting room chair, I enter and stand before him. Starting with receiving his questioning……

My life would always have that human’s surveillance and supervision, receiving training pressure four times a day and getting eight messages asking if there’s progress in developing other attribute skills and having Woo Sae-geon personally grab my collar six times daily……

Just thinking about it makes me smile naturally. A smile of enlightenment.

‘I shouldn’t go.’

I instinctively sensed it. This is the crossroads of my life right now. I had to make the right choice.

That human Woo Sae-geon either doesn’t have a phone or has never taken out his phone even once. Not just in front of me, but in front of others too. Therefore, the means of contact with the leader was always through the status window.

I attempted communication with Woo Sae-geon while sitting at the dining table.

He did receive my contact, but.

[“Meeting room.”]

He immediately hung up.

I smiled bitterly while calling again. He answered this time too.

“I’m recuperating at home so I called.”

[“Recuperating?”]

An upturn at the end that clearly showed displeasure. The dark shadow cast over Woo Sae-geon’s eyes naturally came to mind.

[“Is this a call you’re making after organizing what you need to say to me?”]

All of Woo Sae-geon’s words to others are premised on a mindset that regards the other person as emotional and immature, unable to take care of themselves. And Woo Sae-geon doesn’t bother hiding this from the other person.

Appropriately suited to crush the spirits of those who are plentiful in Hunter School and actually young and immature.

Facing a person who had carved the intention to control others into all his actions, expressions, and language, I tried to keep my voice as light as possible.

“How much, what should I say?”

[“Affinity for other attributes.”]

“I’m not sure about that either…… it just happened somehow.”

Saying this would make Woo Sae-geon unpleasant even without facing him directly.

‘If you don’t want to hear kids rambling, why don’t you just ask them to write reports with introduction, body, and conclusion.’

But regarding this issue, I really have nothing to say either. After awakening, I can see others’ attributes – what am I supposed to do about it?

[“……Every day just brings more work. Just how much time do I have to pour into this bastard.”]

Woo Sae-geon muttered to himself. But I guarantee, Woo Sae-geon only mutters things he wants others to hear.

[“Also, I need to know to what level of intense activity your body can handle.”]

He must be talking about combat. He can’t risk putting me in a gate only to have me come out as a corpse.

So the conclusion seems to be, just teleport to the meeting room or training ground.

“As the leader saw, I have extremely limited stamina for fighting.”

Finding practical use in other attribute affinity, getting familiar with my body. Both require deep research.

But.

“I’ll research it myself.”

I have no intention of giving Woo Sae-geon my leash.

“It’s an ability only I have and only I understand, so what would change if the leader puts his head together with mine? And I don’t think showing everything to the leader is an obligation? Instead, if I discover something big, I’ll report it. Since you’re the leader who forms strategy teams.”

What this means is, I’m saying I won’t go under Woo Sae-geon but become a freelancer who occasionally receives stage and gate-related contracts from Woo Sae-geon.

“Leader, it’s true that you’ve done well with strategies even without me. Do you want to spend precious time on someone like me? Use it for bigger things.”

I expect Woo Sae-geon to understand the hidden meaning in my words.

If Woo Sae-geon still insists on managing and supervising me even after I’ve said this much—

This would mean Woo Sae-geon admits that the current successors’ military strength is insufficient and he needs me because of that.

‘In the original work, there was no successor named Gang-hyeon to begin with. Originally, I shouldn’t have been here.’

Woo Sae-geon’s lips faintly exhaled air.

[“Gang-hyeon.”]

“Yes.”

[“Don’t pull any tricks.”]

“Mm.”

Woo Sae-geon doesn’t bother decorating or beating around the bush with his words, so this part is comfortable. I listened to his words while grinning broadly, thinking of Woo Sae-geon being right in front of me.

[“Currently, using you brings more harm than benefit. As you said, I don’t care if you’re not there. I’ve never even thought about there being a Dog successor until now.”]

He truly sounded like he didn’t miss me one bit and had no regrets about it.

[“I might not send you out to stages and gates at all from now on. Do you know what happens then?”]

“What happens?”

[“There’ll be trouble with your retirement compensation.”]

At that moment, my spine went cold.

Since possessing this body, there hadn’t been many occasions to feel such sensation, so the chill was greater.

It doesn’t seem like a simple threat. This is the first thing Woo Sae-geon has seen through.

That no matter how unpredictably and capriciously I’ve been acting, ultimately I’m moving with post-retirement life as my goal.

Ah, so this becomes my weakness. My heart sank. The silence originating from me exceeded one second.

I carefully parted my lips.

“Retirement compensation is really important to me.”

There’s no point trying to evade here, it would just become more ridiculous. I judged it better to honestly acknowledge my weakness.

“Then just watch from afar. Whether I become someone worthy of compensation or not.”

#Battle Romance #Motor-mouth Bottom #Buff Healer Top X Sickly Dealer Bottom My goal is to receive a hunter's pension after retirement—securing my old age. That was all I wanted after possessing the body of an incompetent hunter who should have died in the first chapter of the novel. But I turned out to be way more capable than I expected? "Thank you so much! Gang, Gang-hyeon-nim?" "Call me hyung." At first, I just felt sorry for the supporting kid who was treated like a delinquent, so half out of pity and half with the intention of making him my ally, I helped draw out his abilities. Maybe that was the beginning. "Gyeon Gang-hyeon, you should become the leader after me." I saw areas for improvement in the other successors too and tried to help them, only to eventually be told to lead the hunters, surpassing even the original protagonist. So what about the original protagonist who lost the leader position to me, who's also the childhood friend of this body I possessed? "Do that. You lead me." ...This is sarcasm, right? He's saying "let's see how well you do," right? But why are his eyes looking so sultry? More importantly, even if I become the leader, you're still the one who has to save the world! Will Gyeon Gang-hyeon be able to successfully secure both a intact world and his hunter's pension? * * * (From the main text) "So this method you thought of to amplify our abilities." The original protagonist sat down and got straight to the point. I began my explanation. "Our abilities follow the five elements, right? Then each person should have yin and yang." This was an idea that didn't appear in the original work. "A yin person and a yang person need to combine."
