Shyrveen appeared in his apartment at the same time that the sun sets to the horizon and the first thing he did was to check his clock again.
'Sunday, at six o'clock in the evening... The time dilation is really thrice... But the most important thing is...' He said in his mind then looks at the big bag that hangs on his shoulder that Han Sen gave him to pack all of his meats and the corpse of the eagle that he didn't process yet is on his hands.
'The feathers can be added to the arrows... But the claws and beak should be more resilient than steel... Maybe I can try to sell this to the association. It'll be good if they will think that this is a monster from the dungeon. But I need a Hunter License first to sell something like this, right?' He scratches his head for his stubbornness not to get an E-Rank Hunter License even though it still has more limitations compared to the Hunter's License with Magic Power.
'With the meats of the eagle, it should be enough to raise my Ordinary Geno Points into 70 range... But I'll eat the Primitive meat first that Han Sen gave me, and see what's the difference between the categories...'
Shyrveen puts all the meat to the refrigerator after thirty minutes but only to be troubled by the drained blood corpse of the eagle, to where he shall put it since his refrigerator is only a small one that already packed of meats and the other items that should be inside were on the table now...
Then he finally decided to move now than tomorrow and didn't eat something since he already ate one toad before going back. He put the body of the eagle inside the big bag and went to the association. As on his way to the association, news about the raid for Jeju Island will happen in four days and it's trending on the internet as he looks at his cellphone.
He arrived and asked the different receptionist since its evening, for taking a test for E-Rank Hunter License.
After touching the Magic Power Detector, he acted to be elated that he can emit Magic Power now for the receptionist is looking at his average face, but only for him to be confused for something click on his mind after seeing the number that showing his Magic Power with one hundred and eighty-nine units that the thrice of the number of his Ordinary Geno Points. 'Eh? Why is it like this?... If it's the case then I can already emit Magic Power from the test that I took last week... Is it because of the Beast Soul?... If that is the reason, then the Beast Soul is like a mediator of the Geno Points of my body to interact with the Magic Power here or to emit such energy?... Then I can still disguise as an average person if I don't have Beast Soul, no matter even if I maxed out my four Geno Points in this world, that I think that can be compared for the A-Rank Hunters...'
"Please, follow me, sir." The receptionist said as she stands up from her seat and went to the door near us. After getting inside she continues. "Please, show me your ability, sir."
Shyrveen already thought about the ability he will show in case of this situation. He summoned the Black Beetle that flew out from his body and went back to his chest that became liquid and in no time, covering every part of his body like Robocop.
The receptionist was shocked since it's her first time seeing something like this but recovered after a couple of seconds. "Eherm. Sir, is-"
"I could be a tank-type with this armor but I still need a shield for that, but I can be an attack-type too but of course I need a weapon for that too, but with this armor, I can fight face to face with the monsters one by one for a certain time and degree. I have a corpse of the monster that I think it's a little bit weird compared to the rest of the monsters but too much different compare to the normal animal too. I already fought it and severed its head since it can't harm me with this armor." Shyrveen said his sewed lie that he thought on his way here.
"... Ah, I see. Then please let's go out and check this monster that you're talking about." The receptionist listened to Shyrveen story and can only move on and call for an appraiser for such things.
After a few minutes of waiting on the same desk. Shyrveen saw a mid-thirties man with a mustache and wearing dirty clothes and said to me with a little bit of irritation. "Can I see this monster that you're talking about, sir."
'Maybe he was doing something and was disturbed.' Shyrveen thought as he bows to the man then he saw his irritation is subsided a little bit, then pull out the corpse of the eagle just to cause a few gasps from the surrounding people. 'It's good that I went here in the evening time or else...'. "This is a monster that I fought but a little overwhelmed it to a one-sided fight since its claws and beak can't penetrate my armor. I brought this monster for its outrageous size to check if it's still considered animal or already a monster one..."
"... Isn't this too big for an eagle outside and too much different from the known ones?" The receptionist asked while touching the wings of the eagle with the mustache man.
"With this size, this animal can already kidnap an infant to a one-year-old kid for the worst... Based on the muscles of this animal, it really can do it..." Continued by the appraiser that cause again for the people to gasps louder.
Then someone went to Shyrveen's side and he looks at the stranger only to recognize him. "Hunter Sung Jin-Woo..."
"We meet again Hyung-nim."
"Yes."
"I'm sorry for interrupting your business but can I ask you Hyung-nim for where you saw this monster?"
Shyrveen retells his alibi for the second time but more on detailed that based on the place in the country. After explaining his fake experience, Shyrveen can still feel the doubts of Sung Jin-Woo based on his stare but he didn't back down from it.
And in no time, Sung Jin-Woo was the one to back down and pulls back as he says. "It's that so, Hyung-nim, I want to fight one though. Oh, I'll be going now. I still have business here. Good day, Hyung-nim."
"Good day too, Hunter-nim." Shyrveen greeted back and stared at Sung Jin-Woo's back and went back to talk with the receptionist and appraiser. 'I know that you're being doubtful but you can't go there by all means, except if I really can bring a living thing... Should I try to bring one like what Han Sen is doing to the Copper-Toothed Beast?...'
But, out of the Shyrveen's knowledge and lie. Sung Jin-Woo saw the name of the eagle's corpse in a state of white color but still has a very little stain of orange on the corner, he might never notice it ever, if his stats are still a 'Player' below Level 20...
[God's First Sanctuary's Ordinary Azure-Tailed Eagle]
'Where's that God's Sanctuary?... Since there's 'First' there should be a 'Second' too... Is it like the Demon Castle Dungeon with a hundred floors?...' Sung Jin-Woo thinks about it and really curious, but put it in the corner of his mind and went to meet Go Gun-Hee, the Hunter's Association's Chairman.
After thirty minutes of talking and appraising the eagle. They declared the eagle as still an animal than a monster because there's no Magical Core, that monsters should have normally inside of their body.
Even though Shyrveen already expected it, he still asked if the claws, bones and beak can be turned into a weapon and what's it worth if it's compared to the lowest grade items that came and created from the bodies of other monsters.
That's where Shyrveen's luck was activated. Fortunately for him, those three things are much higher quality than the E-Rank Monster's corpse. They expressed their willingness to cooperate if he found this weird pseudo monster again and will buy the whole corpse if possible and request to be in a better good shape than what he did in the body of the eagle, with the severed head and one big slice on its stomach.
The association was curious and tried to negotiate with him to buy the eagle but Shyrveen knows the consequences once the meat's real worth is discovered... So he declined and reasoned with them that he still needs the meats since he was a working student and struggling with the money.
They expressed that it is dangerous to eat the meat of the monster but he expressed that since there's no Magical Core and declared animal, it should be safe to eat it.
The two personnel can't counter-argue with it since the appraisal came from them and can't really force a Hunter of their possessions, or in public eyes.
They are curious but not that much since the part of the eagle was in between of the E-Rank and D-Rank grade items once processed. It's still low compared to the higher rank but if mass-produced, it's good for the business. For now, they let it go and let Shyrveen go away bringing back the parts of the eagle except for the three things that they bought from him.
Shyrveen wants to be happy about going back with almost seven hundred thousand won from the beak, bones and claws but he can't and so he went back to his apartment. 'With this money, I can pay the rent for a couple of months in advance and resign to the work with still some leftover. So I can start to focus now at diving dungeon and killing creatures in God's Sanctuary...'
After three days and one day before the raid at the S-Rank Gate in Jeju Island starts.
Shyrveen was on his way back to his apartment while reading the news about Sung Jin-Woo why he isn't listed in the participation list and other conclusions, guesses, bashing and other things about him by the people. 'Normal people can really be distinguished by their useless comments and posts again... Should I wish for them to see and experiences what happened to me?... Nah, a waste of time in my mind...' But only to stop on his track after hearing a subtle but it is sure a cry from a woman in the alley. 'Even such trash still exists in the era of peaceful apocalypse...'
"If you make a sound, I'll kill you."
Shyrveen heard a man while pointing his knife on the neck of the poor woman while peeking at them.
"You already know how many people have died here, right?"
"P-Please don't kill me..." Beg by the woman while her body can't stop shaking from fear.
"This is why I love this neighborhood."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. If Sung Jin-Woo heard you, you will really love this neighborhood more than ever..." Shyrveen said mockingly as he appeared to the alley.
"What!? Do you think an S-Rank will care about something like me, huh!? He is busy killing monsters and what will I expect from him anyway? He put his tail between his legs and run away from the participation in the Jeju Island Raid! I can already bet that he will run away too from me! So, too bad for you acting a Hero of Justice and some shit like here boy!" Said by the attacker and sprinted towards Shyrveen with his knife aim for his chest towards his heart.
"Moron will always be a moron..." Shyrveen can only murmur and stops the blade of the knife with his index and thumb finger and pinch harder to destroy it.
The attacker stops and can't move, he was too stunned for what happened for that second and can only see the hand of Shyrveen raised slowly towards his shoulder and he shouted as the pain from his shoulder bones that was powdered by this man went to his brain to recognized it. He fell on the ground with his knees as he grabs his right shoulder with his left hand as he begs.
"... Can you imagine the fun inside me seeing you beg with despair?" Shyrveen said with a normal voice, no emotion can't be traced on it but the smile on his face is telling a different story. He raised his foot and intended to destroy the knee of the attacker and let the woman call for the police and ambulance but he was interrupted by a familiar voice stopping him from doing so.
"Hyung-nim... Can I take care of it?" Sung Jin-Woo simply said while looking at the woman then to the kneeling attacker and lastly to the eyes of this mysterious but weird Hyung.
"..." Shyrveen can only stared back and shrugs. 'So, it's him that staring at me at the moment the trash attacks me...'. "Alright."
"Su-Sung Jin-Woo!" The woman and the attacker both shocked and shouted the name of the new S-Rank Hunter and was confused about why he is doing in this alley... But the feeling of both of them was different from each other.
For the woman, she was more relieved and happy. But for the attacker, it seems the sky of his world was fallen and he feels so scared now.
Sung Jin-Woo looks at the woman and said. "Before it gets too dark, it's best that you return back to your home..." Which replied by the woman with her nods and run away from the alley.
Then Sung Jin-Woo glared at the attacker. "Before midnight, turn yourself in... That's if you want to live...". Then order a High Orc Shadow to go in the man's shadow. 'If this bastard doesn't turn himself in before midnight, then go ahead and kill him.'
"I hope you live." Sung Jin-Woo continued as he turns his back on the attacker and looks at Shyrveen and thought. 'Because I don't know how much patience the High Orc Shadow will have...'. "Are you on your way back home, Hyung-nim? Can we talk while we walk?"
"Yeah, but was stopped by a trash person. And sure, why not?" Shyrveen can only sigh as he accepts the invitation of Sung Jin-Woo...
