Chapter 36
ED: Cheerycheri
Sometimes, hunters who awaken mental abilities live without knowing that they have awakened.
However, that was only the case if the ability was insignificant, it was a different story for those whose mental ability was strong. That strong power becomes a poison for the holder.
Park Yoon-sung’s eyes widened as he held the document.
“So it wasn’t the disease that was the problem, but the ability?”
“Yes, it seems so.”
“Hmm.”
Some of the documents contained words of such poor quality that it was hard to believe they were written by a doctor. One part caught Park Yoon-sung’s attention.Fịndd new updates on n(o)v/e/lbin(.)com
[Whenever I see that damn brat, my head throbs painfully. It pisses me off.]
“...”
After seeing this part, Park Yoon-sung concluded that Yeon Seung-won must have brought someone from the Awakening Center.
If he was an S-class mental hunter, he might have been unable to control his ability and influenced his surroundings. However, in Han Do-yul’s case, he seems to have harmed himself by subconsciously trying to control his ability. He subconsciously changed the target to himself so as not to attack others.
Nevertheless, it seemed that the ability that could not be controlled gradually flowed out and affected others. Park Yoon-sung put down the document with a long sigh.
“Haa... An S-grade auxiliary skill and an S-grade mental ability. Brothers side by side.”
The two brothers would really be in the spotlight if this was released to the media.
Park Yoon-sung, who shook his head, spoke to Yeon Seung-won.
“First of all, we have to tell Hunter Han Yi-jin about this.”
“Understood.”
Yeon Seung-won left the room in an organized manner.
Soon after, Han Yi-jin entered the room with a confused expression.
“Yes? What did you say?”
I opened my eyes wide after hearing what Park Yoon-sung said.
“Hunter Han Yi-jin’s younger brother, Han Do-gyul-gun1, seems to be an awakener.”
“Huh?”
Perhaps because it was so unexpected, I opened my mouth stupidly.
Han Yi-jin’s younger brother is also an awakener?
“No, that... it’s impossible...”
Of course, it wasn’t mentioned in the novel, so I was very confused. Moreover, my eyes almost popped out at Park Yoon-sung’s words that followed.
“And his estimated rank is S-class.”
“Yes?”
S-class? Is everyone’s ranking now S-class? Does this make sense?
“It’s not an official and accurate rank yet, but it’s usually certain if the estimated rank is S.”
“Haa...”
Was the story twisted strangely because I transmigrated, or was Han Yi-jin’s younger brother originally an S-class hunter? I was so confused because even I, the transmigrator, really didn’t know what was going on.
“Is his ability—?”
“I’m assuming he’s a mental hunter.”
“Then, could it be my brother’s illness—?”
Park Yoon-sung nodded at my words.
“It’s highly likely that your brother suffered from his ability, not because of a rare disease.”
“...”
Come to think of it, it was after the gate was opened that Han Yi-jin’s younger brother collapsed from a rare disease. If it was mistaken for a disease because of his mental ability and his obscure illness, it is highly likely Park Yoon-sung’s words are correct.
“I can’t believe it...”
“You bastard!”
“W—what?”
And he started screaming loudly in anger. I just opened my eyes wide in surprise.
“Han Yi-jin, you bastard! You idiot! You stupid!”
“Hahaha...”
“You stupid idiot!!!”
Those three words seemed to be all the swear words this little guy has in his vocabulary.
As Han Yi-jin’s younger brother, his temper was no joke. I can’t believe he started swearing at me as soon as I met him. Han Do-gyul fumed as he saw me laughing.
“Don’t laugh! I said stop laughing!”
“Ha... you brat, with a temper.”
“Go away! I don’t know you!”
Han Do-gyul, who shouted back, turned his head away as if he was sulking.
I almost laughed again when I saw him, but I restrained myself and opened my mouth.
“Hmm... then I’m really going?”
“...What?”
Of course, I’m not going back, I’m just trying to tease him a little. but Han Do-gyul opened his eyes wide in bewilderment. Then he looked at me with trembling eyes.
“Y–you’re really... going?”
“You told me to go.”
“Ugh...”
Then Han Do-gyul’s eyes reddened. As tears quickly filled his big eyes, I comforted the child in surprise.
“Sorry, sorry. I’m kidding. I’m not going.”
“Ugh... this, this...!”
Han Do-gyul’s face turned red when he found out that it was a joke. Then he raised his hand angrily and hit me hard.
“Y–you bad guy! Han Yi-jin, you bastard!”
“Ouch, ouch, ouch.”
It was a hand as small as a fern, but it was quite fierce. As I pretended to be in pain and stepped back a little, tears flowed down from the child’s eyes.
“Why—why did you just come? Why...?”
“Do-gyul-ah.”
I patted the crying child on the back to calm him down, but it seemed to have the opposite effect. Han Do-gyul began to shed more tears.
“Waaah, you bad guy...”
Han Do-gyul grabbed my clothes while shedding tears, snot came out of his nose like a river. I kept patting his back while giving the hem of my shirt to the child.
“Was—was I a nuisance because I was sick? Is that why you didn’t come?”
“No, it’s not like that.”
Han Do-gyul seems to have misunderstood that Han Yi-jin did not come to visit him during his hospitalization for a long time because he thought was a nuisance to him. Of course that wasn’t true. Han Yi-jin wanted to meet his younger brother more than anyone else.
“Boohoo... It’s my fault. I won’t be sick anymore. So...”
“...”
“So, don’t abandon me... Boohoo...”
I hugged Han Do-Gyul tightly as he cried sadly. I gritted my teeth as if I was going to cry too, and finally uttered a word.
“Who’s going to abandon you?”
“Boohoo, boohoo...”
“I’m sorry I came so late. Do-gyul-ah.”
Hearing those words, Han Do-gyul cried even harder and burrowed into my arms.
I hugged the child and resolved myself. On behalf of Han Yi-jin, I will definitely protect this child.
