Chapter 66

“Kid. You didn’t burn his head, did you? Good job. If you want to entrust his identity verification to the Association, you have to leave his head.”

Kwak Chun-sik, who saw the villain fall down in front of him, came over and looked at his appearance and frowned.

“Heh… Did you force your aura together and create a counterforce? The inside of his chest is destroyed.”

“I didn’t know it would be so powerful. I just tried to compress my aura like you did.”

“Well… Counterforce is also a power, so I don’t think it’s bad. By the way, what are you going to do with his corpse?”

There were still Association staff members in the dungeon. They would finish exploring the dungeon and come out soon.

If they saw his corpse and my appearance, they might judge me as the culprit who killed the Association staff.

If I was alone.

“I’ll talk to the Association staff. You just stay still.”

“…Are you talking, sir?”

Kwak Chun-sik smiled at my reaction.

“I’m a big shot in the Association, so I can do this much of a cleanup for my mentee. You just stay behind me.”

Is he like a chief officer in the Association?

Since it was from Kwak Chun-sik, a great man, I had to trust him.

“I’ll make sure you get rewarded for catching the villain.”

“Oh, you don’t have to do that. I just helped you, sir.”

“Huh?”

“It’s because he was not an ordinary villain, but a ‘hidden villain.’ If you turn it into your merit, wouldn’t your sentence be reduced a bit? And the attention that burdens me will go to you.”

“Is that so… But won’t your reward be less?”

“I’m fine.”

I already got the reward.

【Hidden Quest Completed!】

[Hunting a hidden villain]

[You have succeeded in hunting your first villain overwhelmingly. You will become stronger as a Hitman who hunts villains!]

[Reward: Enhancement of the trait 【Hitman】]

When I checked the status window, I could see that new content was added to Hitman.

【Hitman】

[1. Ruthless killer – The knife of the organization that executes enemies. Hitman maintains calmness in any situation.

Gun-related skills increase greatly.]

[2. Hunter of villains – You are a Hitman who is very familiar with hunting villains. Villains will fear you and you will find it easier to hunt them.

The fear that villains feel towards you increases by 1.5 times.

Your ability to use aura against villains increases slightly.]

It was literally a weapon against villains.

It was a trait that gave me an advantage against villains, and considering the nature of the scenario, it was a special skill with an enormous range of application.

“What’s going on here?”

Then the staff members who came out of the dungeon looked around and were shocked.

“Old man. Please.”

I smiled at Kwak Chun-sik and gently hid behind him.

After all, it’s the superior who should do the troublesome work.

Kwak Chun-sik sighed at my appearance and looked at the staff.

“This fellow suddenly attacked me and my disciple, so I defeated him with my disciple.”

“……You mean you and your disciple?”

Kwak Chun-sik nodded.

“He even said he was a ‘villain’. I’ll check it against the Association’s database and see what I can find.”

“You’re saying he’s a villain?! Oh my God…….”

As expected, the staff didn’t seem to have any doubts since the speaker was a great man like Kwak Chun-sik.

“As you said, we’ll take the body to the Association and investigate further.”

“Okay, have at it.”

The staff put their hands on the man’s body, and in an instant, the body disappeared.

They put it in a subspace.

When he came out, I didn’t see any materials, so I kind of expected it, but he was carrying something enchanted with subspace magic.

After giving us a quick bow, the employees ran down the mountain.

While watching them, Kwak Chun-sik turns to the direction of the house and says, “There’s a spatial mage to take you back.”

“Since I don’t have a spatial mage to take me home, I’ll have to walk.”

“You’re going straight home?”

“Of course I’m going back to my house, and as soon as I get there, I’ll have to tinker with it to teach you the Aura formula.”

“Is it really that complicated?”

“I will have to teach you the same methods I use, and since your aura’s nature is different from mine, I will have to adapt them. Besides that, I will have to think about how to train you, and I have a lot of work to do.”

Kwak Chun-sik paced, running a hand through his hair.

“Don’t come back for three days. I never thought I’d be studying again at this age…………….”

Kwak Chun-sik is getting farther and farther away.

I didn’t think he’d even say he’d change the Auras Formula for me.

Although, if he saw what I was like just now, I could understand his desire to raise me.

I’m only a student at the academy, and I’ve just defeated a semi-named villain by myself, what a promising future.

Even now, I’m sure Kwak Chun-sik was looking forward to seeing how far I would go.

In the distance, I could see the sun slowly peeking over the ridge and as I checked the time and realized that evening was slowly approaching.

“……I should probably head back.”

I guess that’s a passing grade for a first mentorship, huh?

* * *

Family dinner.

They say humans are animals of adaptation, right?

As usual, the family dinner table no longer felt uncomfortable or heavy. Now, it’s more like a……dinner with a lot of food.

It was also a time for the family to talk about the latest news, so it was also a time when interesting or unusual information was often exchanged.

“What about Mr. Kwak Chun-sik, how is he doing?”

My father asked me while we were eating.

I had borrowed the organization’s helicopter to fly to Gangwon Province this time, so it was natural for him to know.

“Yes, he was a bit sharp, but he was also very kind.”

“Haha, I see, he asked me to join him as a disciple when I was younger, but unfortunately, the relationship between the Hero Association and Corleone at the time wasn’t very good, so we didn’t have much interaction.”

I thought he was just thinking about it, but he actually asked my father?

I was embarrassed to tell my father that he had asked me to be his disciple, so I didn’t elaborate.

“But…… you got to learn from him instead of me, so you got your wish after all. That’s good. Hehe.”

Sensing the disappointment in my father’s words, I immediately opened my mouth.

“The only thing I decided to learn from him was the Aura Formula, and you said that my Aura abilities are very similar to yours, so if you don’t mind, I’d like to learn from you as well.”

“Hahahaha, that’s very kind of you to say, but I’m busy at the moment, so we can arrange that later when I have more time.”

“Yes, dad.”

Now this is the real deal.

My mentor in the game, the Emperor of the Underworld, the world’s greatest assassin, and an Aura Master?

That’s pretty epic.

This lineup, which would have been impossible for an ordinary character to even attempt, was only possible because of the blood and talent of Corleone.

“Pa-pa! Ji-yoon wants to learn too! Eit! Eit!”

Ji-yoon, who seemed unhappy that we were talking alone, climbed up on her chair and swung her fists earnestly toward the air.

She had been taught self-defense since she was young and her punches had power even though her arms were short.

But because it was Ji-yoon who did it, it was just cute.

“Hahaha! Yes, I have to teach our Ji-yoon this too. Right, right, you’re doing well!”

“Is Ji-yoon good?”

“Of course, of course, whose daughter is our Ji-yoon. She’ll soon be the strongest in the world, hahaha!”

“World’s strongest Ji-yoon! I love it!”

Ji-yoon, who seemed to be imagining herself becoming the world’s strongest already, smiled sheepishly and sat back in her seat.

Father, who was looking at her with a pleased expression, moved his gaze back to me and opened his mouth.

“So, have you decided to learn from him in the future?”

“Yes. The Academy said I can substitute up to three times a week with mentor lessons, so I think I’ll do that.”

The Academy allowed students who had designated mentors to skip up to three times a week.

Of course, there were also club activities, so I couldn’t miss them too often, but I planned to go to Gangwon-do as often as possible on the days that Kwak Chun-sik called me.

The transportation was… I could ride a helicopter, and sometimes if I asked Ji-hyun, wouldn’t she send me to Gangwon-do?

Of course, she wouldn’t send me to Gangwon-do for free, so I’d have to pay her some small compensation.

“That’s right, I’ll let Parnello know in advance, so you can use the helicopter as you please.”

“Thank you.”

“Oh, and.”

Suddenly, he said as if he remembered something.

“Why don’t you come to our mansion with him sometime?”

“Do you mean Kwak Chun-sik?”

He nodded his head.

“He’s my son’s mentor and we weren’t on bad terms in the past, so I thought it wouldn’t be too bad to meet and talk once. What do you think?”

Indeed, as my father said, the relationship between the current Hero Association and Corleone was not that bad.

Not only that, but both of them had connections in the past, so there was no risk of a big accident.

More than anything…

The meeting and conversation of two people who could be called the authorities of Asia in terms of aura is something I have to see right away!

It was a very interesting and exciting event for me, a true gamer.

“Yes. I’ll talk to him.”

“That’s right, there’s no need to bring him over if he’s uncomfortable.”

“I understand.”

As I nodded and answered, my father smiled contentedly.

“Let’s finish eating. Ji-yoon, you have to eat too.”

“Yes!”

I imagined the scene of my father and Kwak Chun-sik sitting face to face and talking.

If the aura fans in the community saw the red aura of Corleone and the blue aura of Kwak Chun-sik, they would cry with emotion but…

This was all for me to watch alone.

Well, if they’re so jealous, they should just reincarnate into the game.
