38 – As expected… You were a benefactor..!

*

After wearing all the artifacts Shinwoo gave him, his body became much lighter. All of them performed well, but the necklace that sparkled around the neck was particularly eye-catching.

‘Since I gave you something like this, I can’t go back after dying.’

It wasn’t even confirmed that I would fight the principal, but I was already acting like someone who was on the brink of death. I went this far, but I think I would be embarrassed if nothing happened.

‘I’m not asking you to attack me though.’

It’s best to just pass by without incident. A fight with a person facing the wall of Hyungyeong? Because it’s such a big ordeal for me right now. In particular, activities in Korea will be difficult the moment you lose Chuck with Jin Baek-ho.

The symbol of Korea. Because he is the same person as himself. From his connections, power, and family, there is no corner missing. In fact, since he is a nobleman with a good personality, I don’t think he would touch me at all.

‘But why did you call me?’

The closer you get to the principal’s office, the more tension rises. But on the outside, I pretended not to be like that and tried to keep my normal appearance as much as possible.

Because there’s nothing good about me being wary. I arrived at the door of the principal’s office and before I could knock on the door, I heard a voice from inside.

“Come in. Fun school students.”

I didn’t make a sound, but I already knew I was outside the door. It is said that the nerves are sharpened enough to reach beyond the room and other places.

‘Like a person about to fight.’

I can’t go back after coming this far. In the end, I took off my mask and opened the door to the principal’s office with my alertness raised to the maximum. What flowed into me at that moment was a terrifyingly intense life.

How many humans did he kill? It’s not enough to catch up to me who was the best among demons except for the Heavenly Demon, but at that level, I would have killed as many as the swordsman.

I don’t know if the ones he killed were evil or good. However, the important thing now is that he is a murderer who has killed many people, and that he is revealing that he will live for me.

First of all, I have to get rid of this terrible life that puts pressure on my body. Not too long ago, I temporarily found myself as a police officer in the trial of Ymir, the primordial giant.

And the sensations of that time still remain vividly in my body. Of course, I can’t bring out the power of those days.

‘But if only to live.’

You can borrow it for a while through mental power that transcends the human realm. The murderous spirit of Kim Yu-won, “Hyeon-gyeong,” That flowed out of my body erased Jin Baek-ho’s murderousness and rather began to press him.

‘I wish I could see this and avoid a fight.’

It is said that he is Jang-seong, but he has implemented Hyun-kyung’s life as it is. In his position, it would feel like a predator that could kill him at any moment would thrust his head right in front of his eyes.

In the end, he gave up resisting to live and lowered his arm.

‘Whew… This is what it is.’

It was fortunate that Jin Baek-ho was facing the wall of Hyungyeong. Because if he wasn’t strong enough to feel my level, he might have just pounced.

Just like that, Qin Baek-ho started to open his mouth and I watched it quietly.

‘Yes. Let’s hear what he’s saying.’

“As expected… You were a benefactor..!”

‘What?’

I don’t know what bullsh*t this is. I have never met Jin Baek-ho for 17 years after reincarnation, and even in his first life I have lived a life far from Hunter.

There is no way I can be his benefactor.

“100 Years ago, you caught an SS-level boss monster and suddenly disappeared, then reappeared. It was a long time ago. It was a long time ago. A martial art that handles dark lightning, and a very practical combat method. Both are similar to the benefactor, but rather than 100 years ago. It made me look younger.”

I’m talking about Muk-roe-Byeo-ryeok Shin-gong and Blood Cheon-moo. Well, even if it’s not these two, there are plenty of martial arts and practical combat methods that deal with dark lightning, so let’s listen more.

“When I saw that he was 137 years old, I should have suspected it right away, but in the battle with that child today, I was certain in handling the power of frost and subduing the giant. Student Kim Yoo-won is a benefactor. I apologize for that.”

He bows his head towards me. However, I was more dizzy from his words than he was from lowering my head. Let’s say I had a skill to peek at the status window to find out that I was 137 years old.

However, martial arts with ink lightning, practical fighting techniques, the power of frost, and the one whom the giant obeys all point to Kim Yu-won, who is me. It means that he had exactly the same characteristics as Jin Baek-ho’s benefactor.

“Raise your head. Even if it were me, I would have checked carefully.”

I wonder if it would be appropriate to talk in this way once I see what I call a benefactor. My head is full of many questions, but I have to solve the immediate situation.

If I say that I am not a benefactor, what will happen, so I will thoroughly portray his benefactor. Aiming to become stronger than that before he gets caught.

“Thank you for your understanding. But it’s unbelievable that you’ve reappeared here after 100 years…”

Let’s recall memories. You have to come up with an answer based on information from 100 years ago that spilled out of his mouth.

‘A benefactor with the same characteristics as me… He appeared 100 years ago, grabbed an ss-class boss monster, and disappeared…’

Why would such a benefactor hide his identity and secretly enter the academy?

“That’s right. There will be many incidents in this school in the future, and I came here to save the children from those incidents.”

I have no choice but to believe that it is because an incident similar to that 100 years ago could happen here.

“I see…If it wasn’t for sure, there wouldn’t be anything the benefactor would come all the way here.”

Nodded. Actually, I don’t think such an event will happen, but I have to believe that it will, at least until I grow stronger.

“But I’m not good enough to solve all the cases by myself, so I’m thinking of gathering and raising young children who can see the buds.”

And I’m going to use this as an excuse to extort support from the principal. I create a club, have my people join it, and raise it with the principal’s generous support.

Isn’t this a consolation call?

‘The sum total of mad speech that turns crisis into opportunity.’

That’s me, Yuwon Kim.

“That’s why you let my nephew go over the wall… I see. I don’t know how helpful I can be, but I’ll do my best to help as much as I can! If only that would keep the kids safe!”

He is very motivated. I’m burning my will in my eyes like that, but what if nothing happens until I graduate? It’s rather an accident

Being a swindler, I might have to run away from the president of the association.

‘It’d be nice if a suitable villain could attack once or twice.’

I have to stop even such things so that I can prove that my words are not lies while extorting more support by appealing that my children are so useful.

“Yes. Please take good care of me in the future.”

“Yes! Benefactor.”

He stretched out his hand toward Jin Baekho. And he took my hand If before it was a handshake between a student and a principal, this time it was between a benefactor and a sponsor.

After that, I decided to ask him a few questions.

“Do you remember what I said when we first met?”

He looked troubled and then opened his mouth.

“It was 100 years ago, but I still remember that conversation. When I asked my benefactor if I could become as strong as her, didn’t the benefactor tell me that? Hearing that, I was indignant and tried to surpass my benefactor, but it’s still too far away.”

‘Speaking is exactly like me.’

I wonder if there was even a doppelganger of Yuwon Kim at that time.

“I just need to be as strong as a high ranker now. Anyway, how did you know my age? I thought I never showed it off.”

If you have the ability to check other people’s status windows, or if there is a way to block it, it would be good to know. Because if someone recognized my age like that, I would have no choice but to have some doubts.

“Ah… You don’t know because you’ve never registered for the association. Among S-rank hunters, those whose karma leans toward the good side are taught how to upgrade their observation skills. With that, they can steal other people’s status windows. There is.”

I knew there would be such a thing.

“How do you tell if karma is good?”

“With this skill, you can see how many humans your opponent has killed and where their karma is leaning.”

‘Uh… Then how many people will I be listed?’

It must be at least a thousand units. Still, karma is biased towards the good, so he must be saying this.

“So, is there any way to stop this? You’re fortunate enough to know me, but I’m sure there will be problems if someone else finds out who I am.”

He nodded.

“In the case of opponents who have learned the same skill, you can only check information if they are weaker than you based on your prime. I will tell you how to upgrade your observation skill.”

“Thank you.”

He shakes his head.

“I think it’s fortunate that I was able to repay you for not being able to say thank you properly back then. It’s getting late, so it’s better to go in today after listening to the promotion method.”

It’s definitely not long until the dormitory curfew.

“Yes.”

In that way, after receiving an explanation from him on how to upgrade the Observation skill to the Detection skill, I briefly exchanged greetings and went outside.

“Wow… sh*t. I thought it was choking.”

I never imagined that there would be a skill that could count the number of people killed. It’s fortunate that I met Jin Baek-ho this time. If it were another S-class hunter, I might have been attacked for questioning and answering.

I don’t know exactly what my karma is, but even if it’s neutral, few people will leave a person who has killed a thousand people alone.

First of all, I was very tired, so I went inside the dormitory and lay down on the bed.

I must say, it was the first day of school, but a lot of things happened.

The entrance ceremony, the fight with Wang Wei, the appearance of the giant, the conversation with Wang Mei, and even the chat with the president of the association. The last part in particular was the most nerve-wracking part.

If I made even the slightest mistake, I might not have been able to lie down and fall asleep like this.

‘Let’s go…’

It was difficult to continue my thoughts. I fell asleep on the bed with the lights off.

I hope that in the future there will be a repeat of these peaceful days.
