Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 29
Although there was a minor(?) incident for a while.
Afterwards, post-processing proceeded smoothly..
The Association Hunters realized that Su-ho was not a devil, and immediately arrived at the factory with Su-ho's directions..
“……But where are all the demons??”
When we arrived at the factory, there were only traces of battle and no demons in sight..
As the hunters' curious gaze turned to him, Suho made an awkward expression..
“haha. Iknow, right. Did she just run away??”
[Oh my.]
Ber was belching openly next to me, but no one was particularly suspicious..
I just thought the pet was the size of a plush toy..
“hmm. I think they noticed us coming right away and left everyone behind.?”
“Well, we came too quickly. Because I was dispatched immediately after hearing the report..”
[Oh my.]
Next to him, Ber was openly picking his teeth, but no one was particularly suspicious..
My stomach was sticking out, but I thought it was just a bloated stomach..
“Still, I'm glad we secured the scene..”
Actually, this alone was a huge feat..
For the first time, I found a factory that manufactured stardust..
Above all, the shocking fact was revealed that people's lives were sacrificed during the manufacturing process..
“thank you.”
After a while, the association hunters who came out of the field gathered all the hunters on the field, including Suho and Assistant Professor Lim, and expressed their gratitude..
“Thanks to your tips, we have been able to prevent many future crimes. From now on, our association and police hunters will do their best to investigate..”
And added one thing.
“And you will be paid compensation for this..”
It turned out that there was a small reward for those who reported crimes..
‘That's good. I guess I should use this money to buy meat and feed those people who are low on blood..’
Suho nodded, remembering the alien races he left behind in the shadow dungeon..
Whether they were the last descendants of the Fang Clan or the only surviving demon nobles, to Suho they were just hungry refugees..

……When I opened my eyes, it was an unfamiliar ceiling..
“Okay.”
“Team leader, calm down.?”
Team leader Han Jae-hyuk got up from the bed, groggy..
White walls and the smell of disinfectant.
It was a hospital.
Team leader Han Jae-hyuk looked at his subordinate with a puzzled expression..
“why am i here?”
“Don't you remember? The team leader fainted..”
“faint?”
“yes. It's just one punch..”
“ah.”
Only then did a memory cross my mind..
‘the crow mask!’
Team leader Han Jae-hyuk hurriedly stood up and shouted..
“That devil! what happened to the devil?!”
“That guy wasn't the devil.?”
“huh? Oh, no?”
“yes. He was the hunter we went looking for..”
“……?”
Looking at team leader Han Jae-hyuk, who was confused, the subordinate sighed and said,.
“So it was all a misunderstanding between us..”
His subordinates told him everything that had happened while he was unconscious..
Then suddenly, Team Leader Han Jae-hyuk’s expression hardened..
“……what? What did you say just now??”
“What?”
“A summoner? who is the summoner?”
“Who is it? Of course, he is the hunter who knocked out the team leader with one hit..”
“what?”
I guess I didn't hear it wrong..
A bewildered expression appeared on Team Leader Han Jae-hyuk’s face..
“I was hit by a summoner and fainted? I am Han Jae-hyuk?”
“yes. So, from now on, please don't let your guard down and use your skills quickly before attacking..”
“I wrote it, I wrote it?”
“yes? What?”
“I said I used a skill!”
At this point, the subordinate's expression became rather perplexed..
“Then why did you faint? Team leader, you are a C-rank tank..”
“I know yeah!”
“So, team leader, even though you used real skills, you fainted in one hit? Does that make sense? That person was an E-class hunter.?”
“E grade? are you kidding me?”
Team leader Han Jae-hyuk glared at his subordinate with a grim expression..
But the subordinate just shrugged his shoulders calmly..
“Why do I eat expensive food and joke around? I checked his hunter ID, and he was really class E. What was your name, Seong Su-ho??”
“Seong Su-ho?”
When I heard that name, a face suddenly flashed through Team Leader Han Jae-hyuk's mind..
Coincidentally, the name of the beginner E-class hunter who had personally measured magical power not long ago was also Seong Su-ho..
‘It can't possibly be like that..’
“that's right. that person.”
“……!”
“I'm not mind reading. I was also with the team leader at that time. Seong Su-ho, the E-level hero of the Hankook University dungeon whose magic we directly measured, is the person who knocked out the team leader..”
“Is it true? He was that college student back then? How on earth?”
Team leader Han Jae-hyuk looked in disbelief..
But the subordinate responded harshly..
“It must have been a measurement error. Otherwise, he beat the team leader, who even used his skills, with his bare fist. How could a hunter like that be only E-level? I expect at least C grade.”
“No, no matter what you say. Who is going to explode?…….”
“Anyway, I apologized on his behalf. I told him to visit the association again later and get re-measured. Okay, this is the end of the briefing while you were passed out..”
“…….”
“I'll leave work then.”
“…….”
Prestige once lost does not come back.
Team leader Han Jae-hyuk, who left all the work to his subordinates and just slept, mumbled in despair as he looked at the back of his subordinate's head as he left work right after finishing his work..
“Anyway, these days things are…….”
Then, I suddenly remembered the moment I fainted..
‘Grade E was a measurement error.?’
Well, this is okay.
It's not common, but it happens occasionally..
But one question still remained.
‘He was definitely a summoner.…….’
It was clear that he was a summoner, as there was a large summoned beast that looked like a hyena right next to him..
But how?
‘How did he have such superpowers? Could it be that that power is some kind of variation of the summoning skill??’
hmm.
Team leader Han Jae-hyuk stroked his chin and thought about Seong Su-ho's appearance at the hospital..
An ordinary college student who looks quite decent..
He was tall and physically well-muscled..
But that was it.
Just by looking at the outside, he definitely didn't look like a hunter with super strength..
‘……Well, you'll find out someday.’
Rather than that, there was a memory that suddenly came to mind..
On the day when Seong Su-ho's magic was measured, the greeting he gave as a courtesy as he parted ways with him..
-Well then, Seong Soo-ho, I look forward to your good performance in the future..
Just like that moment, a warm smile appeared on Team Leader Han Jae-hyuk’s face..
“……I'm really looking forward to this.”
I was looking forward to seeing what kind of hunter he would become in the future..

And the Reaper Guild.
Vice President Lee Min-seong was angry to the end..
“what?! Why did the factory that was running normally suddenly disappear?!”
“Well, that… … Based on reports from hunters, the association…….”
Powok!
“Ugh!”
Lee Min-seong kicked the stomach of the man who was struggling and making excuses in front of him..
And then they stomped on his body, which flew into the wall, and screamed loudly..
“So what? What is an association? What kind of brat do these bastards think I am! If you take money, you have to bring the goods back no matter what.!”
“oh my! Vice President! We are truly victims too! In fact, overnight, the demons of the factory disappeared without a trace.?”
The A-level hunter's kick, furious to the core, was too terrible to be called a simple anger outburst..
If the man being trampled by those feet wasn't a hunter, his heart would have stopped at the first blow..
Lee Min-seong, who had been taking out his anger on him for a while, finally woke him up by slapping him on the cheek when he fainted and grabbed him by the collar..
“ha. So what happened to all the demons??”
“Cough. That, that…….”
The man hurriedly spewed out everything he knew..
Lee Min-seong's brows narrowed after hearing all the information..
“The location of the factory was discovered by hunters who happened to be passing by.?”
“yes. I heard they fought demons and rescued survivors..”
“do you think that makes sense?”
“That, that…….”
“what the.”
Lee Min-seong's anger began to boil again as he grabbed the man by the collar..
“It wasn't a large guild, and 10 demons were attacked by a raid team led by only a C-rank healer? Only the leader is C-rank, the remaining nine are D-rank, and the lower-level hunters are made up of E-level collectors.?”
“Me too, me too…….”
“Me too.”
“I also think it doesn't make sense.!”
The man closed his eyes tightly and shouted as Lee Min-seong lived to his death..
Only then did Lee Min-seong let go of his collar..
Then, as if asking when he got angry, he patted his collar and asked in a soft voice..
“So what do you think? I'll have to come up with a more useful opinion this time. If you want to live.”
“……I think the association may have been pranking me..”
“hmm?”
“As you know, Mr. Vice President, the Association has been continuously chasing the source of the stardust. But this time, the location of the factory was found out somehow..”
“so?”
“However, if you openly investigate stardust, which is not yet illegal, you will be checked by guilds that handle stardust like us. therefore…….”
“So, they set up clumsy people as scarecrows and pretended to move after receiving the tip.?”
“yes! That's it!”
“okay. That makes some sense..”
Lee Min-seong nodded as if he understood..
“okay. I saw those demons myself. They said they could never be dealt with at the level of low-level hunters..”
“Yes, that's right.”
“so?”
“yes?”
“Of course there must be a solution.?”
Once again, a terrible murderous spirit came out from Lee Min-seong and strangled the man..
“Oh, of course! There is not just one factory. It's just that the Seoul Station field was convenient for delivery because it's on the subway line, but if you look around, you'll find devils lurking here and there and setting up stardust factories..”
“Here and there? Anyway, Hell Joseon really. Why are there so many devils??”
Only then did Lee Min-seong smile with satisfaction..
But the eyes looking at the man were not smiling at all..
“I'll say it again, you know that the only reason I took you away was because of stardust.?”
“Of course… … We are always grateful to the Vice President..”
“Then do your job. If you saved a drowning dog, you should return the favor.?”
“Crying!”
As he answered, more and more hair grew on the man's face, and he transformed into a werewolf..
The man's identity was none other than the remnants of the Hyena Guild that were being chased by the Association..
But now he had nowhere to go, so he became the loyal dog of Vice President Lee Min-seong, with whom he had been dealing..
But it was only on the outside, the inside was different..
‘Damn, I'm in big trouble. In just a few days, the power of blood will completely disappear..’
The Hyena Guild members' ability to transform into werewolves by drinking the blood of the Fang clan lasted only ten days..
If you do not drink blood regularly, once every ten days, you will not have the beast transformation skill and will revert to being an ordinary person..
It was clear that if Vice President Lee Min-seong found out about this, he would mercilessly kick them out..
‘We have to do something before then. Either find the wolf cub that disappeared on Mt. Gwanak, or… … Find traces of other monarchs similar to him.’
Dream of different statues.
Director Lee Min-seong and the werewolf, facing each other, each had their own purpose and were racking their brains..

At that time, Suho…….
I entered the butcher shop with the compensation I received..
“yes, welcome~”
The butcher shop owner, who was cutting meat at that moment, asked Suho with a friendly smile..
“What kind of meat would you like??”
“One pig... … Do you sell it whole??”
“……?!”
“no. Two.”
“……!”
