Awakened while Threading Beads (1)
TLed & Edited by: TheNo1Fan
The night was late yet the street was still brightly lit and there were still people here and there. They seed like Hunters who had just finished their hunt. You could tell they were Hunters because of their armor and unusual weapons which looked like it ca from a fantasy world or a ga.
Covered thick with blood, they looked like they recently ca out of a dinsional gateway. You could also see most people evading them as they went their way.
As Hyeon Su was thinking about what kind of dinsional gateway was around here, it popped up in his head that not long ago a Grey Rank dinsional gateway had ford.
‘……’
From a distance, Hyeon Su stared at the Hunters who looked like they had just finished a hunt. Looking at the Hunters pa.s.sing by, envy was evident in his eyes.
They obviously were not high ranked Hunters as they should be coming back from the Grey Rank dinsional gateway. However, he even envied that.
Nevertheless, Hyeon Su quickly shook off his regret. A Hunter was a tree he could not climb [1]. If he kept being envious pointlessly, it would just hurt him inside.
Especially after tasting the sweet honey but being unable to eat it [2] made him envy even more. It was better to rather focus on other things.
“Gotta go to my part ti job……”
“Oh, you ca?”
As he entered the convenience store, the previous worker Min Su greeted him.
After he received so duties from Min Su, he sat at the counter and took out so beads.
Bead Threading
In between the part ti work during the day and the part ti work during the night, there was this ti which was ambiguous and awkward. Although resting was good but using that ti to earn money was better.
His cute sister, Hyeon Ah, who was an apple to his eyes, was currently in Year 11. Soon it would be ti for her to go to college. In other words, the ti where money was going to be needed was coming closer.
Hyeon Ah said that as soon as she graduated from high school she would start working but Hyeon Su opposed that idea. Her suffering was sufficient enough for him.
Anyway, as Hyeon Su was trying to find a way to find a way to use this ti that was strangely floating around, he looked towards a side job.
At first he didn’t an to thread beads. It was because as he was looking around he found it was the only thing he could do.
A side job of using a computer. Disqualified. There was no side job that used antique computers. Due to that, a lot of side jobs were disqualified en ma.s.se.
The one after was a translations and study room type of side job. However it was not the type of side job for Hyeon Su who barely graduated from high school.
What was left was the crafting type of side job. However, among all the different crafting type side jobs, the one that wasn’t bulky and didn’t take up too much of an area to complete was bead threading.
The money earned wasn’t a lot but even earning a tiny sesa seed amount of money still had its uses when ama.s.sed.
Gather dust beco mountain [3] wasn’t a parable for nothing.
Moreover, the more ti you spent on the side job the more money you earnt so it was perfect for such an awkward ti.
Since soti ago, he was researching on how to use the shortest amount of ti to the greatest effect. This was because if he threaded more in the sa amount of ti he earned more. Anything was good as long as it raised the amount threaded.
Therefore Hyeon Su was racking his brains for the most suitable and efficient thod. He had tried different hand positions when he picked up the beads and even tried changing the angle, yet there wasn’t a thod that made him think, “Ah! This is the one.”
All this was for when there were no custors and he could thread at least one more. However the images of the Hunters he saw before he arrived kept flitting around in his mind. As there was no point in being envious he decided to shake it off but when does one’s heart do what they want it to do.
“What’s the point in thinking about it. Let’s just work.”
-Now that we look back, quite so ti has pa.s.sed since the world has changed Professor.
-Hoho, indeed, it has already beco like that. When the first gateway opened we really wondered what would happen to our world.
-Haha, even soone at your level, Professor, felt that?
-I was only a greenhorn researcher back then.
As he finished his part ti job and arrived ho late he knew that the TV was on.
“Oppa[4], you’ve arrived?”
Hyeon Ah ca out to greet him. It seed like school had finished early. However, sothing seed strange. Hyeon Su quickly searched the house.
Just as expected.
“Hyeon Ah, you’re doing my job again. I told you in ti to go and study.”
“Ahaha. Ab-about that……”
There were beads scattered in all directions on the floor. It was the side job that Hyeon Su usually did. She probably did it with the intentions of helping her pitiful brother who worked all day even a little.
-As the early days of confusion have been controlled, all the nations have been pouring their all into cultivating their leading Hunters.
“……Ait! Sorry, oppa, i’ll change the channel”
“……It’s alright. You can watch it.”
“But……”
“It’s really alright. Okay?
Hyeon Su showed his sibling a lopsided smile. However Hyeon Ah still kept fidgeting and couldn’t beco calm.
“More importantly, are you hungry? Oppa will cook you a delicious ran.”
“N-no. I already ate. I’m not even hungry.”
“You need energy apparently if you want to study. It’s not enough to have just als that the school provides. Just wait a bit. I’ll make it tasty.”
‘If you have ran at night your face bloats……’ Hyeon Ah mumbled quietly but she was smiling brightly with her teeth showing as Hyeon Su was taking care of her.
“Whew……”
Hyeon Su, who had just barely changed the mood, swiftly headed towards the kitchen. Even if you called it a kitchen it was an extrely small s.p.a.ced area.
-Swahhhhh
As he was preparing to cook the ran by pouring the water into the small pot, he kept hearing the sounds from the TV.
-As ti goes by, there is hardly anyone who Awakens that is a civilian. The ones under systematic supervision are where the most Awakened co from.
-What you’re talking about is each nation’s managent of a Hunter Training Inst.i.tution
-That’s right. At a young age they take an apt.i.tude examination to confirm their potential, and then putting them under systematic supervision has been statistically proven to have various benefits. Of course we can’t say there aren’t exceptions but that’s exceedingly rare.
Bogul bogul[5]
The water had boiled
Hyeon Su skillfully poured in the flavouring from the ran package that had been opened before and put in the noodles into the soup, which contained the spread out flavouring,.
A sll from the ran which could stimulate anyone’s appet.i.te wafted out. To boil the noodle just right. Hyeon Su, to achieve the finest taste, tid himself.
-The tested potential when they were young continues. In other words, there are many cases where the children who had a high potential for growth beco strong Hunters. Needless to say though if you just believe in that and laze around people will catch up to you quickly.
-If we look at it like that the world of Hunters is similar to the general populace.
-Hoho. Isn’t hard work needed everywhere? Well. Their unique skill depends on the situation. We could also say it’s, most of the ti, a skill owned only by themselves. However skill acquisition is another problem in itself.
-Do we have to rely on luck?
-Calling it luck…… Anyone can acquire their skill if you’re potential is approved and you get systematic supervision but there is a little bit of deviation. Well. Although so ti has pa.s.sed not everything has been found out yet. THe Hunter Training Inst.i.tution being systematized and the world being stabilized is sothing we can call a miracle.
“It’s perfectly cooked. Good.”
He turned off the gas at a good point in ti.
The hard boiled type of ran he and Hyeon Ah enjoyed had been completed. Even the sll was killer.
“Hyeon Ah, the ran is finished!”
“Okay, Oppa.”
Hyeon Su poured the fairly hot ran into a small bowl, put it on top of the table, and ca out. During all that, the 2 n’s conversations from the TV kept on going.
-That is the core. People who know may already know but it’s the Secondary Awakening. Prior to the Secondary awakening, the people are only a little more outstanding than ordinary citizens
-Yes. All things considered it’s also a system that has a lot of talking going on around it.
-The Secondary Awakening is so important that you can only be called an authentic Hunter after it……As you know it’s not a small amount of money that’s being put in as well. There’s a lot of arguing back and forth about the issue.
-Yes. There are a lot of argunts saying that they are only monopolizing those so called people.[6]
-The governnt’s actions shouldn’t be sothing that people don’t understand. Even Awakening one person into a Hunter is a job that requires an extrely large amount of patience. It also takes more money than developing a fighter plane pilot. To see how expensive the Secondary Awakening’s costs are, we have to see it in that kind of context.
“Here, Let’s eat.”
“Thank you for the food.”
In a cute way, Hyeon Ah put both her hands together in front her and closed her eyes briefly before starting to suck up the delicious ran.
Slurp, Slurp.
“Ah, It tastes so good!”
I don’t know who’s sister she is but she is really cute. It looked like once she grows up and goes to college, there will be a lot of boys who will follow her around and say that they like her. But first, if they want to date my sister they’ll have to pa.s.s my test first
After being satisfied with the way she was eating her food, he then picked up his own chopsticks
-That’s it. From a young age they must steadily develop their abilities, receive training, increase their efforts until and finally pa.s.sing the Secondary Awakening Examination then a person can beco a true Hunter. They are the the current human kind’s bastion.
