Chapter 160. The Coldest Fire (2)
Han Jehoon. This na feels a bit unusual to be considered a registered birth na, and it's also difficult to associate it with 'Jehoon', a term related to the constitution.
It was an abbreviation for "the weakest hunter in Korea."
[Live Broadcast: Han Jehoon TV]
The 'Han Jehoon' being described is the nickna of a video creator.
He has been running his channel for 8 years, and his subscriber count is an impressive 763,000.
Then, what is it about Han Jehoon that attracts people and makes them so enthusiastic?
[Ah—! Everyone. It's been a while since we did an outdoor cam, right? As promised last week, today we're here to hunt the so-called F-rank final boss, the broken hunting... mountain goat]
As it can be guessed from the na, the the of the videos he produces is "The Daily Life of an Awakener."
Skill practice, item usage, and so on. He shared information that was easily inaccessible to ordinary people, using his status as a Hunter.
But the protagonist of this video was shockingly soone with an Awakening value of only 1.02aw. So, the magic they could display was limited to sothing as simple as bending spoons...
But surprisingly, in the SNS market, that very weakness beca popular. Being in last place, after all, still made him unique in his own way.

Now, the ad revenue on his videos far exceeds the inco from clearing dungeons. Without a doubt, Han Jehoon can be considered the most successful case among F-rank Hunters.
Up until this point, this has been the background of spectator 1 who got involved in Kim Giryeo's fight...
***
[The first person in history to be knocked out twice by an S-rank Hunter.]
One day, a video that would put an end to people's argunts was posted on the Internet. The content of the video was, as ntioned earlier, a testimony from the person directly involved in the incident.
[The reason we passed out at that ti was because the hunter suddenly revealed his hidden magic power.]
The hunter in the video, Jehoon, claid that the mass fainting that day was caused by Kim Giryeo's awakening value. Of course, logically, it wasn't an unreasonable claim. When facing high-ranking hunters, the weak and elderly often couldn't withstand the pressure emitted by an awakened individual and would faint.
[Everyone, honestly, even when I'm next to a C-rank, I... should I call it motion sickness? Anyway, I get this feeling of pressure slowly creeping up on , you know?]
A large subtitle appears on the screen according to his explanation.
[But when I first saw that hunter, I didn't feel that sensation! So, I felt relieved! Wow, the world has gotten better! With the right items, you can reduce that burden! I was thinking that as I stepped confidently next to Hunter Kim... But when I ca to my senses a little later, I was... oh, in a hospital. [My] my sister was next to .]
But when you think about what kind of secret the fourth S-rank of Korea might be hiding... it becos a rather strange story.
[In a daze, I was like the protagonist in a drama, saying, "Where am I?" when soone walked in the hallway. A person wearing a suit. When I locked eyes with Hunter Kim, my heartbeat started racing... thump, thump, thump.]
[Hahaha!]
[Don't laugh! And honestly, if my sister had a heart rate monitor on at that mont, it would've shown 180 bpm. Seriously.]
He repeatedly claims that he fainted due to being overwheld by magical pressure. However, the blonde figure ntioned in the video is nothing more than an F-rank weakling.
The cause of yesterday's mass fainting incident was a unique-grade item called the 'Surprise Box.' However, the video creator was bound to misunderstand the trust.
[If any of the viewers have ever fainted due to a high-rank, they'll understand. Your head suddenly feels icy and your body loses all strength, right?]
That's right, the effect of the surprise box really does feel similar to the sensation of magical pressure...!
Dizziness. Chills. Acute muscle weakness, etc.
The surprise box triggered a discomfort similar to the extre fear and vasovagal syncope. And this discomfort was also similar to the pressure felt by a lower-ranked Awakened when encountering a higher-ranked one. A tight feeling in the chest, cold sweats.
It's understandable that one could easily get confused in that situation.
Moreover, what about the shell that hunter Kim Giryeo possesses? No matter how polite his words may be, his skin often gives off a cold aura towards his own kind.
[Seeing him apologize to the victims one by one, he seems like a really nice person, but still, I can't help but feel scared...]
The S-rank status, appearance, and the uniqueness of the situation where he knocked soone down without lifting a finger—all contributed to the escalating fear.
That's how the creator of this video beca convinced based on the emotions he felt. Kim Giryeo is actually an S-class with trendous magical power, but he concluded that the mass fainting occurred because he temporarily released his suppression to deal with the conflict. Coincidentally, except for Cho Sangoh, all the victims were indeed lower-ranked hunters.
[You an, pure magical power?
