the age of Hunter
The 21st century, when cracks open and monsters emerge.
People had their own status windows, and so-called 'selected' people had their own skills through awakening. Awakening usually stops at once, but if luck is exceptionally good, it is a chance to wake up again. Now, that was the case with Jung Hye-jung.
"Congratulations. young lady
"Thank you."
Jeil Dortrune, one of the top three workshops in Korea.
Jeong Hye-jeong, the daughter of the leader of the workshop, received a special custom-made control bracelet from her secretary. A control bracelet made of 'Adamantium' that is said to be available in mines open with a certain probability in a large crack above Class A. This bracelet alone will be worth over 1.5 billion won.
"......do you want to try it here?"
This meant that it would be okay to bring out a summoner.
Jeong Hye-jung awakened the Taming series skill, which was the power to summon a particular monster. The monster was Ice Tiger, a B-class monster.
The secretary looked at the window, showing signs of uneasiness.
"I don't really recommend it. Miss. Like last time."
"Well, I suppose so?"
Just last week,
I still had a shiver when I recalled the incident in which I couldn't control the Ice Tiger, and he broke the window, escaped from the room, and wandered through the garden. Of course, there was a control bracelet, so it could not have been that bad, but it was the secretary's job to prevent any mishaps.
"Why don't you seek advice from Hunter Choi Ik-hyun?"
"Oh, instructor Choi Ik-hyun."
Choi Ik-hyun was one of the top three "A" hunters in Korea. He was a lecturer who taught cadets at the Hunter Academy, and was also a former deputy head of the Phoenix Guild, who had close ties with Cheil.
Choi Ik-hyun is definitely the most likely candidate if he asks for help from someone in this situation.
However, at that moment, there was one person who passed through Jeong Hye-jeong's mind.
Swoosh.
[Yoon-hee's father]
Last time, when I went to Seol Yoon-hee's house.
It reminds me of receiving the contact number of her father, Dojun. Come to think of it, Do-joon was also an awakened member of the Taming family, but he was not a hunter, but he was quite good at handling pets.
"What do I do?"
Wouldn't it be rude to contact him suddenly?
***
ding dong
I hear the doorbell.
a leisurely weekend Looking at the house alone with Yong-yong, Do-jun was preparing for lunch. Dojun looked at Yong-yong watching TV, cutting tofu for soybean paste stew. It was a very interesting scene, but Yong-yong quickly ran out to the front door.
Clap clap!
Yong-yong, who opened the gate by jumping in place, was soon able to identify the guest. Not too long, not too short. The woman in school uniform with impressive tear points was Jeong Hye-jeong, a friend of Seol Yoon-hee. Yong-yong had seen her several times.
"Huh?"
Why is Seol Yun-hee here when she is not here today?
At that time, Do-jun, who put tofu in a pot, came out of the kitchen slightly and greeted Jung with a smile. When Jeong saw Do-jun, she bowed politely.
"Oh, hello!"
"Yes. Did you have lunch?"
"Yes!"
growl rumbling
The sound rang from Jeong's stomach.
He proudly said he had lunch, but when his belly clock went off, he blushed and smiled awkwardly. Dojun said around so that she wouldn't be embarrassed.
"I've made a lot of stews. Will you join me? It's a waste to leave some."
"Go, thank you."
Later, when the soybean paste stew was completed,
Yong-yong set up spoons and bowls on the table without Do-jun's order. Wandering between the kitchens, he scooped up hot rice from the rice cooker and took out side dishes from the refrigerator. Jung Hye-jung was looking at the figure with great amazement.
"Thank you for the meal."
After a while, the setting is completed.
Jung Hye-jung greeted her meal and picked up a spoon. The smell of soybean paste stew in the soup bowl came up. Jung Hye-jung, who tasted the bean paste with a spoonful of it, exclaimed, "Wow!"
"You're such a good cook!"
"I learned it from Yoon-hee. In the cookbook, to be exact."
"Oh! I see. That's why I heard it's similar to Yoonhee's doenjang stew at MT last time."
Swoosh.
During the meal, Jeong Hye-jung said,
On the table, in the corner, the horse stared at Yong-yong, who was hurriedly eating the rice, in the soybean paste stew in the bowl. Then I looked at Dojun's wrist. There is no control bracelet in sight, which is an essential artifact for the Teming Hunter. I saw another bracelet, but I don't think it's a control bracelet.
"How can you handle a summoner without a control bracelet?"
It was only after the emergence of control bracelets that the Teming Hunter began to rise. Before the control bracelet, the history was less than five years old, as there were many cases in which the summoner was not well controlled and attacked the owner rather than fighting together.
That's why Jung Hye-jung came to visit Do-jun.
He's free to handle summoners without a control bracelet.
"There's a lot of ways."
"Cough! Cough!"
Yong-yong was caught in the throat for a moment.
After finishing the meal.
Dojun, Yongyong and Jeong Hye-jeong came in with an empty crack. Originally, it was an E-class crack featuring Cobalt, but it was a place where the Boss Monster was killed and destroyed in a few days. Just the right place to test or do a skill.
.........
Yong-yong looked around.
a vast expanse of grassland fields
It felt like his own nest.
Suddenly, I remember the first meeting with Do-jun in the past.
"But Yong-yong is an unidentified monster, right?""
An unidentified monster.
It refers to monsters that are difficult to grasp information due to small samples or small populations.
"Well, similar."
"A monster who speaks human language. It's amazing."
"I was amazed, too. I'm used to it now."
Dojun said gravely.
Jung Hye-jung nodded. And today I summoned the Ice Tiger after taking a deep breath, looking at the newly-tailored control bracelet. Light was twisting from her body, and an ice-covered tiger appeared nearby, and Jeong Hye-jung immediately prepared to recall.
If Dojun gets hurt, he'll be in trouble.
But.
Crying. Crying.
The Ice Tiger cried low, curled up like a frightened puppy. The ice tiger's eyes reflected Yong-yong's distant face. Jung Hye-jung was surprised when the ice tiger, who was supposed to roam around with a fierce roar, was calm.
"Hey, what's wrong with her?"
Yong-yong trudged slowly towards the Ice Tiger, "Krrr.
He growled with a mischievous face.
Ice Tiger hid behind Jung Hye-jung with a tearful face.
Yong-yong stopped making fun of the ice tiger with a big smile.
I don't know Jung Hye-jung, but Ice Tiger noticed that Yong-yong was a dragon.
"Don't play games."
"Yes."
Yong-yong returned to Do-jun's side, and Jung Hye-jung alternated between Yong-yi and Ice Tiger with a surprised look on her face. What the hell happened? Is the Ice Tiger, a B-class monster, scared of that little Yong-yong?
'Oh, come on.
Jung Hye-jung shook her head.
***
Afterwards, Dojun taught Jung Hye-jung to control the Ice Tiger first. The process of recognizing the owner by using a control bracelet whenever an ice tiger jumps. Jung Hye-jung's magic on the control bracelet assimilates with the Ice Tiger and instills the feeling of being on the same side.
It was the first gate that Timing Hunter had to cross.
The second was the summoner's control, which he had to learn by himself, not by helping others. After three hours of wrestling with the Ice Tiger, Jung was exhausted and stretched out on the field.
"Ha. It was hard."
"Good work."
Swoosh.
Jung Hye-jung looked up at Yong-yong with a slight look up her head.
An unidentified monster who talks, even helps prepare lunch.
It was obvious that Do-jun's taming skill had reached an unimaginable level, as he did not even use a control bracelet when he was a surprising old man.
"But did Yong-yong have numbers on his forehead from the beginning?"
Dojun nodded.
Suddenly, Jung Hye-jung remembered what Seol Yoon-hee said last time. What I said when I saw an article that said Kanzaki Soshiro, who tamed the Wyverns Road, is coming.
Does he grow dragons, too?
'No way, you're not.'
Raising a real dragon as a pet.
It doesn't make sense in the first place.
If it had been, the world would have already gone wild, and Dojun would have taken the front page of the newspaper.
'Your name is Yongyong?'
You didn't name it Yongyong because it's Yongjok.
Jung Hye-jung was dumbfounded by her silly analogy and laughed.
"What's your taming skill?" Does it take a lot of mana?"
To the question, Dojun was slightly worried about what to answer.
In fact, Do-jun didn't have any taming skills.
At that moment, Yong-yong, who was watching from the side, decided to answer for Do-joon as he did not answer readily.
"I'm not going to add any horsepower.
"Huh?"
Jung Hye-jung tilted her head.
"My master's taming skill is too much for mana..."
Flinch!
Yong-yong, who saw Do-jun's cold eyes.
Realizing that his answer was wrong, he zipped his mouth.
***
"Have you been there?"
"Yes."
When Jung Hye-jung returned to her home, her secretary greeted her. The secretary naturally accepted Jung's luggage, and brought her a cup of warm tea as she sat on the sofa fiddling with the control bracelet.
"You said that Do-joon is a city official, but wasn't it better to learn directly from Hunter Choi Ik-hyun? Above all, Choi Ik-hyun Hunter is recognized by the taming side..."
"Secretary."
"Yes."
After Jung Hye-jung sips tea.
I thought I was lost in thought for a moment, and then I opened my mouth.
"Do you think it's possible to tape Dragon?"
an abrupt question
But after careful consideration of Chung's question.
I came to my own conclusion. The answer was no. Although there is a player in Japan who tamed the S-class monster and the Wyverns' road, the Wyverns and the dragon were clearly different.
"It's impossible."
"Well, what if you tamed the dragon without a control bracelet?"
"......I think it makes no sense."
"Right?"
"Is there anyone taming the dragon?"
Jung Hye-jung shook her head.
"No, I just imagined that."
Coming out of the crack, Dojun headed straight home.
A dinner only with Yong-yong. Dojun scratched his head and headed for the kitchen.
After lunch, he came out without washing the dishes and there were bowls in the sink, and Do-joon glanced at Yong-yong, who lay down on the sofa as soon as he got home.
Flinch!
Yong-yong must have been too lazy to wash the dishes, so he snored and pretended to sleep.
Do-jun sat next to the sofa where Yong-yong was lying, muttering while looking at the chicken restaurant flyers.
"I was going to order you chicken when you washed the dishes, but that's too bad."
At that moment, Yong-yong jumped up.
I ran to the kitchen.
a smirk
Dojun took out his smartphone and entered the phone number of the chicken restaurant.
