Episode 114
Strictly speaking, Yuk Cheol-wan’s ranking match could be considered a success.
In fact, he created a great feat by defeating an A-rank esper with a B-rank rank.
It is very difficult to overcome the tier difference, and Yuk Cheol-wan achieved it.
However, his face has never been brighter since the ranking match.
‘If it continues like this, it will only become a burden.’
When dealing with Gu Geon, he had to painfully realize his helplessness.
I was hoping to land at least one effective hit, but let alone an effective hit, I couldn’t even inflict the same amount of damage as an ant’s eyeball.
As a result, he was unable to provide any help when Cheon Hae-seon’s arms were torn off.
When Cheon Hae-seon was in crisis, the members of Irregular helped him with their respective abilities.
Kang Jeong-hyeon blocked the secondary damage until the tree he summoned rotted away, and Maria and Bisu did not withdraw their skills even though they coughed up a bowl of blood.
But what about yourself?
All I could do was stay in the recovery room, barely breathing.
helminth.
The words that Goo Geon said to him turned into a knife and stabbed his lungs day after day.
After the ranking match, Yuk Cheol-wan said something serious to Cheon Hae-seon.
I want to become stronger even if it costs me.
The kind-hearted Cheon Hae-seon said, ‘I can help you enough even now,’ but Yuk Cheol-wan was stubborn.
If things continue like this, I might end up leaving Irregular on my own.
However, the colleagues in front of me were too good for that.
Something I never felt when I was the leader of the Clean Up Clan.
Yuk Cheol-wan felt a deep camaraderie with the members.
So I wanted to become stronger.
As a proud member of the Irregulars, I wanted to roam the battlefield with my colleagues.
In that sense, Dr. Jin’s words about ‘the most elaborate device’ made Yuk Cheol-wan’s heart tremble.
“It seems like everything that can be called a device has come out… … .”
Bisu tilts his head and runs his palm across the table.
If there was a material that glowed in five colors like pranium, I would have recognized it a long time ago.
As she said, there seemed to be no special items anymore.
“uh?”
Bisu’s eyes, who had been casually scanning the table, widen.
I felt a touch on the table where I thought there was nothing.
Bisu narrowed his eyes and checked the object.
There was an object that was transparent and very thin, difficult to identify unless you looked closely.
A device as thin and long as a poison needle.
Cheon Hae-seon pursed his lips after checking the item.
“I… … case… … .”
“Is this something you know?”
“I know.”
Cheon Hae-seon laughed bitterly, and a big question mark appeared above the heads of the other members.
Why are you smiling like that?
Cheon Hae-seon turns his head and asks Dr. Jin.
“It looks like a circulator, is that correct?”
“okay. right.”
“Can I use it on regular hunters as well?”
“If the compatibility is good, it will be possible.”
“indeed… … . okay.”
Bisu didn’t like them talking about things that only they knew, so he got angry.
“Please let us know too! “What kind of sack of barley have we borrowed?”
“Giggle.”
After Cheon Hae-seon filed a complaint, he asked Dr. Jin.
“Doctor, please explain it yourself.”
“… … “Sure.”
Dr. Jin held out his hand towards Bisu, and Bisu obediently handed over the circulator.
“I remember the first time I met Haeseon. At that time, Haeseon had just finished awakening, and his body was in an unstable state.”
“Hey. Was there ever a time when that ignorant monster was in bad shape?”
“ha ha ha. “You can’t imagine, right?”
Dr. Jin twirls the transparent device with his finger.
The giant needle catches the laboratory lights and twinkles from time to time.
“Like Haeseon said, this is called a circulator. It is used to circulate ether in the body. “It helps hunters who have just awakened.”
“Ah. “It’s for controlling the ether, right?”
“That’s right.”
“uh… … . But then… … .”
Bisu didn’t want to say anything, but kept his mouth shut.
This is because it was not something to say to the person who created the device.
This is a useless item to Yuk Cheolwan.
No, it is useless not only to Yuk Cheol-wan but also to all the hunters here.
If you are a hunter who has just awakened, it is possible for most of you to save up your ether when it comes time to get a hunter license.

In fact, aren’t all of the people gathered here top tier hunters who would be second to none?
If it is a device made simply to circulate ether, there is no need for it at all.
Bisu kept his mouth shut and looked around, and Dr. Jin’s mouth went up at the sight.
“I know what Miss Bisu is thinking.”
“yes… … ?”
“But this circulator doesn’t only take care of the ether the hunter himself has. It allows us to naturally absorb positive energy coming from outside. Moreover, the special mechanism of the device gives the effect permanence.”
Bisu opened his mouth blankly, saying ‘Heh~’, and Cheon Hae-seon spoke with a very serious expression.
“You need to explain it a little more clearly, doctor. “This is a friend who passed the hunter qualification test with pull-ups.”
Then, Dr. Jin and Bisu’s faces turned into astonishment at the same time.
Of course, Bisu did it because he was embarrassed, and Dr. Jin had a look on his face that said, ‘If that’s the case, he’s not a human, but an animal.’
“hey… … hey!! “It’s because I decided to cram at that time!”
“This is a phrase used when cramming yields results. “At that level, static electricity, let alone lightning, would be a waste.”
Bisu couldn’t hold back and threw a punch, and Cheon Hae-seon quickly moved to the other side with a single step.
How dare you use physical force against an esper(?)?
With a sneer like this.
“die! “You bastard die!”
“haha. Well, it could be so. Maybe… … There is… … “Yes.”
Bisu fell into despair at the words of Dr. Jin, who seemed to be trying to convince himself.
“joy! “Now that you’ve teased me enough, why don’t you explain it to me in a simple way?”
“It’s a misunderstanding, Miss Bisu. Hmm. To continue the previous story… … This circulator will play the role of replacing external energy with the user’s own. To put it a little more directly, it can store the energy that someone sends to it.”
“If it’s energy that someone sends… … buff?!”
“you’re right.”
“Shiba, what a bastard!”
After saying that, Bisu quickly covered his mouth.
This is because it was too cheap to be an expression used in front of adults.
However, the meaning of the function of this circulator was so great that such a raw reaction naturally came out.
What if, rather than using the ‘buff’ sent by the rain for a single time, you could continuously accumulate it within your body?
In theory, it is possible for Yukcheolwan to constantly become stronger.
“Cheolwan Hunter.”
“yes yes.”
“You said before that that you got a little stronger after receiving Miss Bisu’s buff, right?”
“yes… … . At first, I thought it was just my mood… … . There is definitely more ether than before. Hunter Cheon Hae-seon also confirmed it.”
“There are very few hunters who can use the original ‘buff’, but among them, Bisu Yang’s buff seems to have unique characteristics. According to Haeseon, Bisu’s buffs sometimes remain effective over time. Especially with a tier like Cheolwan Hunter… … . Hmm, they say the lower the level of the hunter, the more afterimages remain.”
So the product I came up with was this circulator.
Just as poison and healing abilities collided in Cheon Hae-seon’s body, the ether of himself and the beast were interacting in Yuk Cheol-wan’s body.
By mixing the two energies into one, Yukcheolwan may reach the dream realm that all hunters desire.
In the realm of infinite growth.
“This circulator will allow us to store Bisu Yang’s buffs a little more effectively. maybe… … .”
Dr. Jin looked at the estimate for a moment and then continued.
“You will be able to obtain ether equivalent to ‘S’ tier in two or three months.”
“wow… … !!”
Those exclamations came from Kang Jeong-hyeon and Bisu, not Yuk Cheol-wan.
In fact, Yuk Cheol-wan, the person involved, was unable to say anything with his mouth wide open.
Instead of letting out an exclamation, Maria also looked at the Yukcheolwan and the Circulator alternately with wide eyes.
That was a truly incredible story.
How difficult was it to raise the ether value by one digit, let alone the tier?
According to Dr. Jin, this was a development that completely overturned existing common sense.
“really… … “Is that possible?”
Yuk Cheol-wan asked with a trembling voice, and instead of answering, Dr. Jin slowly approached him.
“Don’t be surprised.”
Dr. Jin spread his palm in front of Yuk Cheolwan’s thick chest.
There was a circulator surrounding the palm, and soon the device began to tremble.
“What… now?” … .”
Before Yuk Cheol-wan could ask what was happening, the circulator dug into his chest.
Wow.
“eww… … Aaaaa!!”
“Aaaah!!”
“Giggle.”
Amid this shocking scene, a strange reaction emerges.
What a giggle.
Bisu glares at Cheon Hae-seon with angry eyes.
“Smile? “Is this scene funny right now?”
However, instead of answering Bisu, Cheon Hae-seon asked Yuk Cheol-wan with a mischievous face.
“Uncle Cheolwan. “The punishment is worse than it looks.”
The circulator penetrates the heart as if it were alive.
However, I don’t know if it’s some kind of ghostly harmony, but I don’t feel any pain.
In the past, Cheon Hae-seon was surprised and made a sound like the world was falling apart, but he soon had to scratch his head in shame.
Because it actually didn’t hurt at all.
“… … “I’d like to find some mouse holes.”
As expected, Yuk Cheol-wan was looking around with the area under his ears turning red.
The screams he made with all his might were meaningless, and he was perfectly fine.
“What, it doesn’t hurt?! Ugh! “Surprise people!”
Bisu glanced at Yuk Cheolwan and slapped his mountain-like back with his palm.
Anyway, the circulator was installed on Yuk Cheol-wan, and Dr. Jin added that the future was important.
“Receive a certain amount of buff from Mr. Bisu every day. The circulator will automatically absorb that energy. You won’t be in normal condition for a while. “You will feel nauseous and will experience sharp pains in all sorts of places in your body.”
It’s like what I looked like when I was addicted to monster poison.
Cheon Hae-seon swallowed those thoughts inwardly.
“If your condition gets too bad, taking a break is another option. I hope you can pace yourself well.”
“yes. “I will take it easy.”
Yuk Cheol-wan spoke jokingly, but no one listened to what he said.
Considering the temperament of a man who does not want to be taken care of, he would overwork his body to the point where he is on the brink of death.
“When the pain stops, the circulator stops working. And then… … .”
Dr. Jin continued speaking with a kind smile.
“Hunter Yuk Cheol-wan will be the strongest person in Korea.”
* * *
“and!!! that!!! that!!!”
Excited voices echo throughout the airport.
An ‘S’ rank esper with flowing red hair and constantly pointing with his finger.
A handsome but sharp-looking young man scolds her.
“Is this your first time on a plane? “Don’t be rude like this.”
“lol. sorry. “I’m so excited.”
She slightly stuck out her tongue and looked embarrassed, but then suddenly made a straight face.
“wait. If you think about it, aren’t you also the first? “You probably couldn’t go anywhere while you were sick.”
“Ohh. “It’s quite big for a charter plane.”
“Shiba! Cheon Hae-seon! “Don’t act the other way and answer!”
The red-haired esper stretched out his hand towards Cheonhaeseon, but as always, he ended up grabbing at the air.
“You’re going to get splashed in that shit!”
Words that could hardly be considered profanity from a person in their late teens were spread everywhere, and Maria hurriedly put on her sunglasses as she felt a flood of embarrassment.
Kang Jeong-hyeon looked at Tom and Jerry with his mouth wide open, then turned his gaze to Yuk Cheol-wan.
“Uncle Cheolwan… … . Are you okay?”
“This is nothing.”
Unlike his colleagues who looked excited, Yuk Cheol-wan had a dark complexion.
I was sweating so much that the back of my neck was already wet.
It would have been nice to rest for at least a day on the plane, but Yuk Cheol-wan has never missed a day of buffing since he was fitted with the circulator.
Only young Kang Jeong-hyun was unable to hide it, but all of the Irregular members had the same concerns.
“This way.”
Two Hunter Association employees recognize them and guide them toward the gate.
‘WHPO’
A charter plane with the abbreviation for World Hunter Protect Organization was connected to the gate.
A place where elite hunters from each country gather in one place.
Stepping on the road to the World Hunter Forum, Cheon Hae-seon spoke to the members.
“Let’s go. To Dubai.”
