Chapter 125
‘They’re just along for the ride . ’
Money won’t bring them this opportunity . They won’t be able to experience this elsewhere .
On top of that, they were safe .
This alliance was ford for power .
So they didn’t feel the need to help them grow .
Because of that, it was only natural for them to exclude them from the training .
And the mbers that were participating didn’t have any experience with a colorful portal .
Hyun-Soo was able to predict how shocking it was going to be for them .
‘Just tell all of your friends . ’
That way, their value will keep increasing .
“Let’s start!”
They were still testing the training thod with Riri .
Since they didn’t know how many people Riri’s power will be able to protect, they decided to start with a small group .
When there’s a colorful portal involved, it’s best to be careful .
“This would’ve been impossible if we didn’t have Riri . Our Riri is amazing . ”
Before starting the training .
The mbers complinted her so that they can stay on her good side .
Kyuuuuuu!
But it didn’t matter .
Riri stuck to Hyun-Soo and was begging for his attention .
She was asking for a lot of complints since she worked really hard .
But for Hyun-Soo, he felt a bit embarrassed .
It wasn’t only because of Riri . The mbers all looked jealous .
This was really burdening for him .
He really wanted to wear a mask .
“Riri, can you create an illusion for them? An illusion that brings out their worst mories . ”
“Hey, hey, rookie . Let’s not go there . Since we’re training, why not do sothing easy?”
David was one of the mbers that were participating in the first training, so he was scared .
Hyun-Soo contemplated for a bit and then nodded his head .
“You’re right . Riri, start by creating an illusion that brings out their happiest mories . ”
“You’re too extre!”
“Bringing out an ordinary mory isn’t fun though . ”
“You need to experience it yourself······ “
“Unfortunately, it doesn’t work on . ”
After David made a funny expression to annoy Hyun-Soo, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath .
The other hunters did the sa and started concentrating after closing their eyes .
The atmosphere suddenly changed .
When Hyun-Soo tapped Riri with his finger, Riri flew up into the air .
Kyuuuuuu-
Her cry was a lot deeper than her usual cry .
A large amount of energy started pouring out of Riri .
“Grr······!”
“Ack!”
The mbers were in pain at first, but…
“Wow······ . This is nice······ . ”
“Ohhh······ . Gisel······ . ”
They started saying odd things and released a moan-like sigh .
“······ . ”
Hyun-Soo felt uncomfortable just looking at them .
Since he needed to know the mbers and Riri’s limits, he decided to stop the illusion .
“5, 4, 3, 2, 1······ five minutes is over! Riri, you can stop now . ”
Hyun-Soo had been counting and when Riri heard him, she stopped .
“How was it? Not too bad?”
Kyuuuu, kyuuuuu .
Riri nodded her small head when Hyun-Soo asked if she was okay during the five minutes .
After checking with Riri, Hyun-Soo turned his attention towards the mbers .
“It seed like you guys weren’t trying to break out of the illusion at all . ”
The mbers were looking at the sky, but seed distracted .
“Oh, well you see…we would’ve tried to break out of it if it was a painful illusion…”
“Um…there were good illusions that I didn’t want to break out of . ”
“…Then that illusion will be the last thing you’ll see before you die . ”
The mbers smiled sheepishly when Hyun-Soo ntioned that they could die .
“We’ll do better this ti!”
“It’s more like you guys were doing your best to enjoy it . ”
“······We’ll try not to . ”
David comnted on how Hyun-Soo beca scarier and expressed his fear .
Hyun-Soo firmly believed that the illusion wasn’t the reason why they didn’t break out of it .
They just haven’t found a way to break out of it .
Hyun-Soo asked Riri to create a nice illusion since they were just training, but since they weren’t able to break out of it, they made excuses to cover it up .
“Then we’ll go for 10 minutes this ti . ”
“Okay! Ready!!”
They told Hyun-Soo that they were going to break out of it within that ti .
And then······ .
“10 minutes . Wake up . ”
“Cough······ . Why can’t we break out of it?”
“The problem is that the thought of it being an illusion doesn’t pop into my head . It happened the first ti and during the 10 minutes, I kind of noticed it towards the end…”
“Hm, then the biggest problem is not being able to detect the illusion . ”
“Right and breaking out of it won’t be easy, but we first need to be able to detect it first . ”
“Well, just keep trying . I’m sure we’ll find a way . ”
Knock and the doors will be opened .
He heard it sowhere .
Where there’s a will, there’s a way .
It described the situation perfectly .
They had to keep trying until they got results .
The mbers complained about how they felt like they were being tested on instead of training, but soon closed their eyes and endured the 15 minutes illusion .
***
“I don’t think it’s working out . ”
Hyun-Soo comnted bluntly .
The mbers were exhausted and they all glared at him as if he was being unfair .
“That’s sothing I should be saying, not you······ . ”
“Hyun-Soo is right, but why am I so annoyed?”
The more ti passed, the more they realized that it was an illusion .
The problem was that a lot of ti had already passed .
If they waited that long to realize, then they would’ve already been dead .
“At least it’s good that you won’t be stuck in it forever . ”
But it didn’t an that it was okay .
Ti .
Ti was the issue .
“We need to shorten the ti sohow······ “
“Maybe it was built so that humans aren’t able resist the psychological attacks . ”
“No way . That can’t be true . ”
The mbers remained quiet when they ntioned that Hyun-Soo was able to resist .
“We just need to find a way . ”
“No! There can always be excl······ . ”
They weren’t able to get good results even after training for a while .
It seed like the mbers were leaning towards giving up on the hunt .
It was good that they were using Riri to train, but the problem was that the people getting trained weren’t getting good results .
But Hyun-Soo ignored their complaints .
There’s definitely a way . .
‘We need to clear this hunt so that I can achieve my goal more easily . ’
That’s why he couldn’t give up .
The mbers looked scared when they saw Hyun-Soo trying to think of ways to make this work .
“I think he’s really trying to get us . ”
“…He’s worse than Yoo-Na . There’s a reason why they’re getting along so well . ”
Being tired physically was a different story .
Being ntally tired was a lot worse .
Moving a finger was hard and even breathing was difficult .
They just wanted to lie there and lt into the ground .
But the Super Rookie was energetic and was thinking while looking at them .
It seed like his eyes glistened .
They were cornered .
“Rookie, aren’t you tired?”
“Not really . ”
“…The energy that Riri is using, did you give it to her?”
“That sounds about right . ”
Whenever Riri used her power, a portion of his energy went to Riri .
It was probably because she was a monster that he controlled .
“…And you know that Riri used her powers for a few hours, right?”
“······Of course . ”
“And you’re not tired . ”
The mbers looked at Hyun-Soo as if he was so kind of monster .
“Ah! I can’t do it anymore! Just take ! Kill !”
David finally yelled out that he gave up and lied down .
He was already lying on the ground and it was more like his head was up .
“Oh, that sounds like a good idea . I think it’s worth trying . ”
“Huh?”
David didn’t know what Hyun-Soo was talking about, so he lifted his head up .
Hyun-Soo was already deep into his thoughts .
‘They do realize that it’s an illusion as ti passes, so that’s been taken care of . That ans that they just need to realize it sooner…right, I think that thod will work . ’
The thought popped into his head after hearing David .
It was really simple .
It took ti for them to realize .
So if they shorten that ti, it’ll resolve everything .
That ant,
‘Forcefully waking them up . ’
Hyun-Soo smiled and touched the device that was on his wrist .
A few minutes later .
“······Why did you call here?”
“I need your help, Marcus . ”
“My help?”
How dare you ask for my help?
When Marcus raised one of eyebrows, that’s the feeling that Hyun-Soo got .
Marcus clicked his tongue when he saw two mbers lying weakly on the Center Room floor .
“Why did you call ? Do you need soone to drag out these weaklings?”
“Well, sothing like that . ”
“······?”
“You just need to use your skill on them . ”
“…Are you telling to kill the mbers?”
“No way . Just a little bit . Just enough to wake them up . ”
It’s like shocking them .
Marcus’s cold expression changed when he heard Hyun-Soo’s explanation .
“So you’re telling to shock them…?”
“Yes, that’s right . I can’t do it right now and since we’re in a hurry…I thought it was a good idea and it’s best to test these things out as soon as possible . ”
The test subjects were of course the two mbers that were on the floor .
“Ridiculous . ”
Marcus thought it was ridiculous, but he didn’t complain .
Marcus really cared about the mbers .
He really cared about the clan and when a weakling like Hyun-Soo appeared, he was the one that ignored him .
After observing Marcus, Hyun-Soo believed that Marcus acted that way because he had a really big ego .
It was obvious as to why he cared so much about the mbers .
He was in this situation because he cared about their future .
If this test fails, then they’ll fail the hunt .
“So, what do you need to do?”
Marcus released a short sigh and gave up on fighting against Hyun-Soo .
Of course Hyun-Soo didn’t really care .
“It’s simple . Once Riri activates the illusion and I give you the signal, you just have to use your skill weakly . You know what an electric shocker is, right? You just need to output the sa amount as the shocker . If not, those two will get fried . ”
“I won’t make a stupid mistake like that . ”
“Right, so let’s start . ”
David realized sothing fishy, so he imdiately got up .
It was like a scene from a zombie movie .
