When I Returned to Farming, National-level Big Juniors Flock - Chapter 65



Only Krnovel

65. Surprise gift

A hunter’s top priority is to become stronger.

As the name suggests, a hunter is someone who must hunt monsters that seek to destroy humans, so it is only natural.

Especially, recent hunters just entered the gate and crushed the monsters.

As for the rest, the country or the agency will take care of it.

But early hunters required a much wider range of virtues.

Even then, hunters from each country were assigned to secret special forces and had to handle everything from start to finish with only limited support.

Starting from the operational planning stage, I personally carry out all the small details.

Besides, entering the gate like now wasn’t everything; there were many other on-site tasks.

Especially for overseas operations, one had to be fluent in many languages.

Of course, English was a must.

You had to be able to speak international languages ​​like Spanish and French, as well as Russian, Chinese, and Arabic to some extent, depending on the situation.

Especially in the case of Chinese, it was really used a lot on the Chinese front.

In any case, thanks to such past experiences, Baek Ji-soo and Yoon Seol-ha were also able to speak French at a native level.

In the past, French was an official language in 28 countries, and as they were deployed in various intelligence operations, they also became highly proficient in the language.

But Oh Hyun-seong didn’t do that.

Although he was talented in almost every way, he was not so talented in languages.

Of course, at the point where he could speak several languages ​​fluently, he was already quite excellent by the standards of the general public, but he was no match for the main members at the time.

He was mainly assigned to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and South America from the beginning, but it was difficult for him to cram French into his head due to the limited linguistic capacity allowed to him.

Anyway, that means he can’t speak French.

“I told you to stop!”

It also means that I can’t understand what that guy is saying right now.

Bam!

“Kwaaak!”

Amir screamed and rolled on the floor.

I jumped up with the instinct of a trained hunter, but my head was spinning so much that I couldn’t even look straight ahead.

“Do you feel like talking now?”

“Hey, hey kid…! What have you been talking about all this time!”

“I guess it hasn’t hit me yet.”

Phew!

Another burst of blood came out, hitting the exact same area of ​​the face.

Amir tried to struggle and resist, but it was a pointless struggle since he was already groggy and had lost all his posture.

Even though he was a level 12 hunter, his basic toughness was quite excellent, but the number of times he got hit only increased.

Kkudangtang!

Amir ended up completely collapsed on the floor.

He tried to get up, bleeding profusely from his broken nose, but his legs would not move.

A shadow fell over him as he crawled with trembling arms.

“You know what happens when you mess with someone else’s family.”

“Stop… Stop it…”

Bam!

“Ugh…!”

Amir’s head drooped after being hit once more.

Although his entire face was swollen and ugly, Oh Hyun-seong had no intention of stopping.

Whether it was a plea or an apology, I was going to beat him until he could speak Korean fluently.

“Even if you’re a foreigner or something, if you try hard, you’ll get out someday.”

Oh Hyun-seong’s fist was raised once more.

But then, his gaze suddenly turned to the sound of a labored groan heard from behind.

He jumped up in the ominous atmosphere and ran to Yun Seol-ha.

“… the condition is not good.”

Her crouching body began to tremble.

Even when spoken to, he couldn’t respond, and cold sweat ran down his entire body.

Amir’s mental interference was not simply a mental burden.

It was a method of thoroughly digging into the opponent’s mind and forcibly drawing out negative emotions and memories.

Because of that, Yun Seol-ha’s past memories that had been buried as a defense mechanism came back vividly.

For her, who was already mentally fragile, it was like a nuclear bomb had been dropped.

“Seo… Senior…”

Yun Seol-ha, who was in a panic, grabbed Oh Hyeon-seong’s sleeve with her trembling arms.

He took her hand in that pitiful gesture, but it was of no use in her condition.

He was barely able to suppress his urge to go wild at any moment, so it seemed like he was having a harder time.

‘This guy is fighting even at this very moment.’

If Yun Seol-ha had not had a strong will to maintain her sanity, she would have gone berserk long ago.

If that had happened, Amir would have been torn to pieces and killed before Oh Hyeonseong even arrived.

There’s no way a psychic attack will work on an opponent who’s already on a rampage.

As a psychic, Amir would have been killed without even being able to put up a proper fight.

But Yun Seol-ha desperately tried to protect her own ego.

Because he knew what would happen if he went wild again.

He is holding on to his collapsing mind with superhuman mental strength and suppressing the madness that is about to burst out.

As for Oh Hyeon-seong, it is a situation where he wants to help but cannot do anything.

“… shit.”

Yun Seol-ha’s condition is getting worse.

Even if it’s her, she won’t be able to last long like this.

If it goes into a state of complete berserk, it won’t be easily subdued like last time, and recovery will be virtually impossible.

Knock knock.

But then, Alyssa tapped him on the shoulder.

“When did you show up?”

“… that person, I can help you.”

“what?”

Oh Hyun-seong was taken aback by her sudden words.

But before he could even sit there dumbfounded, Alyssa transformed into a pure white light and flowed into his hand.

Phaaaat!

“This is…”

His hands were filled with pure white light.

It was bright enough to paint the surroundings white, but it wasn’t dazzling, and it was a warm light that embraced everything.

Then Oh Hyeon-seong brought it to Yun Seol-ha, and he could see the light that touched it calming her anxious energy.

“It works…!”

He confirmed that it was effective, even though he didn’t know how it happened, and began to channel the light energy in his hand towards Yun Seol-ha.

Just as he usually controlled his own magical power, he carefully poured light into her body.

He quickly calmed down the rapidly trembling energy by scanning every nook and cranny of his body.

Then, her rapid breathing calmed down and she regained her composure.

“Okay… okay.”

Sweat dripped down Oh Hyeon-seong’s forehead.

It was only for a moment, but it consumed a tremendous amount of psychic power, and I felt like my core’s magical power was completely emptied.

But thanks to that, Yun Seol-ha’s condition completely stabilized.

“Phew.”

Oh Hyun-seong breathed a sigh of relief.

And then he stared at Alyssa, who was standing next to him.

“You had this ability?”

***

Since then, Yun Seol-ha’s stable condition has continued.

Although he has not yet regained consciousness, he is resting soundly with a much more relaxed expression on his face than usual.

“hmm.”

“…”

Oh Hyun-seong and Alyssa are sitting across from each other, staring blankly at each other.

“You were a great guy, weren’t you?”

“…”

Alyssa’s expressionless fingers start to wiggle.

Are you embarrassed?

Anyway, I confirmed Alyssa’s abilities that I didn’t know about.

I knew that she had purifying powers, as well as simple light properties, but I didn’t know that she could affect people’s minds as well as objects.

It was an incredible feat, as none of the existing Awakened’s abilities had this kind of direction.

However, there were limitations.

Unlike other spirits, Alyssa could only use the magic of the sixth core, so the amount of magic available to her was much less.

‘If we increase the capacity of this sixth core, we might be able to achieve an even greater effect than now.’

Perhaps, Alyssa’s abilities revealed so far are just the tip of the iceberg.

At that moment, a knock on the door was heard.

Oh Hyun-seong went outside, opened the front door, and faced Baek Ji-su, who had come alone.

“Welcome. Come on in.”

“Why did you suddenly call me? It seems like there was no problem.”

Baek Ji-soo said as she looked around the house.

When he first called her in a hurry, she thought something was wrong with Yun Seol-ha.

But it didn’t seem to be the case, as the village and houses were intact and not half blown away.

“No, there was a problem.”

Thud!

Oh Hyun-seong opened the closet door.

Then the frozen man fell down with a loud noise.

As soon as she saw him, Baek Ji-soo let out a sigh.

“This guy… ended up causing an accident?”

Amir’s frozen appearance.

I’ve heard a lot about this guy who can’t tell right from wrong, but I didn’t know he’d cause such a mess.

I thought the home country would exercise some control, but it seems I underestimated him.

‘… But how did it end up here?’

Baek Ji-soo’s expression slightly frowned.

The security bureau has thoroughly investigated this matter.

They didn’t just touch the data, they also completely erased all traces of the scene, preventing Oh Hyeon-seong or Yoon Seol-ha’s names from appearing.

Of course, if Amir, who has strong psychic powers, is determined and sticks to it, it is not impossible to find it even if traces are erased.

But unlike a normal scene, it would take a lot of time, and if they had just left it like that, the National Security Agency would have noticed right away.

But to think that they would rush into Changyeong-ri so quickly.

Coming here was clearly something that was impossible with Amir’s abilities alone.

“What happened to Yun Seol-ha? Did she run into this guy?”

“You met me before I did.”

“Then surely…”

“No, fortunately, nothing like what you were worried about happened.”

Oh Hyun-seong explained what happened yesterday.

Then Baek Ji-soo showed a surprised reaction and soon looked at Amir with cold eyes.

“What should I do? If you want, I can dispose of it quietly.”

Although he was nominally a big-time hunter from a friendly country, there was no need to let it go quietly since he had caused such a mess.

In fact, if it had been the Oh Hyeon-seong of the past, he would have buried Amir somewhere without hesitation.

But he soon shook his head.

“Okay, I’ll just consider it as adding a debt to ‘that guy’. There’s a chance things could get worse for nothing, so of course I can’t let you go like this.”

“If that’s what you say, Senior. Then we’ll take care of this guy on our side. We’ll even clean out his memories.”

“thanks.”

Oh Hyun-seong nodded and said.

The rest was up to the National Security Agency to handle.

It wasn’t easy to touch the mind of a high-ranking hunter in the psychic world, but there was no need to worry about the security bureau, which was full of experts.

Rather, what we should be most worried about is Amir’s situation as he is dragged there.

Thud!

Baek Ji-soo forced the frozen Amir into the trunk.

Although he looks as pale as death, he was frozen by the water spirit, Albern, so he will quickly come back to life if thawed.

“… for a moment.”

“what’s the matter?”

“This guy… there’s something there.”

Baek Ji-soo stopped and stared at Amir.

Amir had all his weapons stripped away and was thoroughly searched.

However, Baek Ji-soo could not immediately sense the subtle energy coming from him.

“Could it be… an artifact?”

“If the output is hidden to this extent, then that’s all there is to it. At least first-class… no, it’s higher than that.”

Oh Hyun-seong and Baek Ji-su, who were staring at each other, let out a snicker.

A national treasure of France.

It seems that an unexpectedly large fish was caught.
