The night of the next day after the re-examination.
10 p.m. Kim Kiryeos studio apartnt.
What is this? It doesnt mix well? Is it because of the humidity?
I was busy making magic boosters at the ti.
Because I finally gathered all the substance.
Its a pain trying to get the concentration right without the right tools.
However, due to the poor environnt, progress was slow.
I need to get my magic back for now, no matter how F-Class Kim Kiryeos magic power is.
I lost concentration due to repeated failures.
Besides, is that all?
-Tiri-ring Tiri-ring
Argh! What kind of lunatic is calling at this hour!
This damn cell phone has been ringing non-stop since 9 a.m.
Why?
Knowledge
[Q. What should I do first after completing the awakening test?]
[A. If you have been issued a Hunter ID, get your skills verified by the association. It is convenient when working if you specify the skills you have in your profile.]
I added the appraiser skill to Kim Kiryeos hunter profile after reading an article I found while exploring the internet.
It turned out that this profile was information that was freely disclosed to outsiders.
Damn it!
Thanks to the information I unintentionally registered, I am currently receiving scouting offers from various companies.
That too, all day long.
Even answering was annoying at this point.
Im sick of living as a company dog.
I imdiately hung up the phone. But my concentration still hasnt returned.
Haa, Im running out of sugar
Perhaps its because Ive received so many calls, but today I feel particularly tired.
I need to get food airlifted.
So, I decided to postpone making the magic booster and just eat sothing.
The ti is 10 p.m. right now.
However, its not difficult to find nutrients.
As expected, are the people of Earth gods since there are convenience stores open 24 hours a day all over the country?
I should buy and try sothing called chocolate today.
I humd and went out into the alley.
The surroundings were dark, but since it was always this dark in my hotown, I walked without paying any attention.
Hmm?
But it was that mont.
I was on my way to the convenience store when I passed a black car parked on the street.
As soon as I passed by, the back door of the car suddenly opened
And what happened next seed to go by very quickly.
Three suspicious people jumped out of the car and attacked .
The big Earthling ca back and strangled , and I was startled and tried to resist, but
Eugh!
The arm that was tightly gripping my carotid artery didnt budge at all like a rock.
It is a difference in absolute power.
This is because this body was only an F-Class awakened person.
What would have been different if I could use magic?
No, those suspicious people had magical power that made them look like they were D-Class.
Therefore, even if F-Class magic was used, it would feel like a cat scratched them.
Ugh!
I dont rember much after this.
Suddenly, my vision turned pitch black and I lost consciousness.
I fainted.
Ahh! So you will pass out when the blood flow to your brain stops!
I would have survived if I had been hit with magic.
Due to the nature of reincarnation magic, I was able to resist skills such as sleep, fainting, and brainwashing on Earth.
However, there is nothing I can do if the opponent uses a physical attack like this
How dare you act like a coward and use your muscles in a fight between magicians!
Whoo
No, this is not the ti to think like this.
Anyway, I finally regained consciousness, but the situation was terrible.
Damn it, where am I?
When I ca to my senses, I had a blindfold on.
Moreover, my body was tied tightly to an iron chair and couldnt move.
This planet was a truly scary place. I never thought sothing terrible like this would happen.
Who on earth would do this?
Kiryeo-ya, was there anyone who had a grudge against you while you were alive?
I was about to think that way.
Is that F-Class guy over there?
Yes, I caught him while waiting in the car.
Well et the deadline.
Soone is talking nearby.
But is he really F-Class?
I purposely used D-class kids to attack him, but he couldnt even make a sound. It was easy to bring him.
I listened.
You didnt break anything, did you? If there are any scratches, treat them quickly.
Phew, should I work for a day or two?
Because its F-Class, you have to be careful.
Clank, clank, clank.
But wait a second. Suddenly, a loud noise broke out between their voices while they were talking.
It was the sound of an iron shutter going up.
Ah! Big brother is here!
It seems like another person has entered this room.
No is it two people?
Everyone says hello. This is our VIP.
Hello!
The VIP will see the product in person later. You go and prepare right now.
It is impossible to understand the situation because a blindfold is blocking the vision.
Still, I was quietly listening to their conversation, and at one point I got goosebumps.
Is the guy you tied up over there awake?
The VIP noticed that I was pretending to pass out.
When he points out the fact, the people around him murmur. Soon, the sound of heavy shoes getting closer was heard.
I took a deep breath, as if a mouse were dead. (t/n :It ans very quietly.)
Take off this blindfold.
Soone ca right in front of .
As soon as he gave the order, the cloth covering my eyes was removed.
You stop pretending to sleep.
He made a gentle threat.
I had no choice but to open my closed eyes.
The scene that appears is soone sitting upside down on a chair.
The VIP speaks with his arms resting on the back of the chair.
Hello.
I confird the VIPs identity and my eyes widened.
Long ti no see. Anyway, this surprised . To be honest, I didnt expect to see soone like Hunter Kim Kiryeo in a place like this.
Yeah. The person in front of was none other than Koreas S-Class awakened person, Kang Changho.
This madman.
Its Kang Changho?
The other person opened his mouth before I could ask any questions.
Are you suddenly dragged in and dont know whats going on? Do you want to explain it to you?
He lifts one corner of his mouth and looks at while Im being tied tightly.
There are rumors in the industry these days. A hunter with great appraiser skills has appeared who can analyze the maze of the Magic Tower.
.
But the problem is that the appraisers awakening rank is F.
Kang Changho looked down at a low-level hunter and continued.
If a powerless person has advanced skills that are not appropriate for the subject, they sotis beco a target of cri. You should have been more careful.
I listened to him and took a quick look around. When I looked closely, I saw that it was inside an abandoned building.
The broken light hanging from the ceiling looked precarious.
What are you going to do to ?
I asked cautiously.
Then Kang Changho cleared his throat, thought for a mont, and then answered.
Im trying to sell you.
.!
There are many people in this world who want to hide the capabilities of their equipnt. Of course, to do that, they need to hire a personal appraiser
.
Well, you know. The down paynt for the appraisers is quite high.
I guess it would be cheaper if you kidnapped it, right?
Especially the maintenance costs.
In the end, its about money and money.
I finally understand. It seems that this is a criminal organization that is involved in the trafficking of awakened people.
I was targeted because my value was incredibly high, but I was an F-Class person with no power to protect myself.
And D-Class and lower have low brainwashing resistance, so its good to use.
They brainwash the weak and turn them into slaves. Im not surprised because this is a cri that happened even in my hotown.
I know this because I bought an awakened person here, and once you brainwash them, you dont have to worry about them betraying you, so its convenient.
But this was a bit shocking.
Sohow, people here call Kang Changho VIP. Has he already been a good custor who has used the product several tis?
Excuse Kang Changho-ssi, Im saying this just in case because we t like this, but do you have any thoughts of helping ?
Feeling like I was grasping at straws, I asked for help.
Hmm, why should I help Hunter Kim Kiryeo? I am here now as a custor.
Of course, the answer that ca back was ridiculous.
Besides, it just happened to work well. I was thinking of hiring a dedicated appraiser. Appraisers are always an object for sale.
The S-Class Hunter said that and stood up.
As soon as Kang Changho moves, the waiting Earthlings call him VIP-nim and take him in as if they were their masters.
F*ck.
I shouldnt be reincarnated in a place like this.
Heuk.
But the kidnappers who remained in this room didnt even give so ti to cry.
Hey, the kids brought in the next item. Now move that F-Class upstairs.
Yes!
Yes!
I was shaking because I didnt know what they were going to do, but in the anti, a strange signal hit my sense of sll.
-Click.
Wait a minute, handle that item carefully! The scent is leaking. Hey, everyone, dont even sll it!
A sweet sll, like being in the middle of a flower field.
By the ti the scent tickled my nose, the kidnappers took to another room.
The room we arrived in this ti was a narrow and musty warehouse.
***
Clank.
The gang mbers wearing gas masks throw Kim Kiryeos body to the floor.
They put down the incense burner they were holding in the corner and quickly left the room.
Clank.
The heavy iron door closed again.
The golden incense burner that occupied one side of the room was none other than a magic tool.
Its a sleeping item obtained from a C-Class gate, but its so powerful that it can put a B-Class awakened person to sleep.
Theyre gone.
But the problem is that this incense burner has no effect at all on certain archmages.
Just by looking at how I was moved, it doesnt seem like I will be sold right away.
I opened both my eyes.
Stupid guys. They thought I was asleep and didnt even put the blindfold back on.
Hiiik!
First of all, what should I do with this restraint?
I whimpered and struggled to untie my hands.
However, Kim Kiryeos weak strength was unable to cut the cable tie.
Damn it.
Lets use other thods.
I untied my shoelaces. After that, the string was pulled tight and tied so that it passed through the inside of the wrist.
Help , friction heat!
After that, I moved my arms and rubbed my shoelaces and cable ties desperately.
It seed ridiculously desperate, but fortunately it was more effective than it looked.
Ah!
Tak.
Finally, the cable tie broke.
As soon as my hands were free, I untied my feet and stood up.
Whoo, what should I do now?
Lets summarize it.
I was kidnapped by a human trafficking organization.
And now I cant use any magic. In other words, its combat power is that of an ant.
I have to run away.
No matter how resistant I am to brainwashing, if I am sold to a strange place in this condition
It would be dangerous. When I imagine such a future, my face naturally turns pale.
I dont know what will happen if I stay here like this.
Should I report it to the police first?
I naturally reached into my pocket.
Ugh, I dont have my cell phone!
But the pockets were empty.
Yeah. Theres no way a kidnapping victims belongings would be left behind. In the end, its just a head-on assault.
If I look at them sitting in the alley, they are magicians who cant use tracking magic. I might be able to win if I get out of this building and hide sowhere.
But then.
While I was planning my escape, sothing suddenly caught my eye.
That incense burner that was giving off a sweet sll in the corner earlier.
Hmm.
A gold incense burner carved in the shape of a lotus flower.
Attached to the top of it was a long chain that was easy to hold in the hand, and I glanced around and lifted the incense burner.
Even though stealing is not my hobby.
Well, now is not the ti to discriminate between cold rice and hot rice(t/n : ans discriminate between cold rice and hot rice (For a desperate person to be choosy about things.))
Tang!
What is that?
Huh?
The iron door suddenly opens all the way to the outside from the inside.
The guards standing outside were startled by this sound and turned around. The situation that followed couldnt be handled.
This is because a smoking object was thrown into their face.
Ugh!
Clank! A clear sound echoed from the empty space of the tal incense burner.
The guards in the hallway fell asleep as soon as this sound stopped.
The effect is good.
Thats why you shouldnt have taken off your mask just because it was a little uncomfortable!
