Chapter 22


    Seonwoo Yeon is just one of the associations many employees, but Jung Haseong is a different story.


    Jung Haseong, the iconic Hunter of Korea, is called the hero of the nation.


    He was attacked by some ruthless people.


    Then he sparked a fire in the associations investigation department.


    The first thing Jung Haseong did when he came to consciousness was to report Kim Kiryeo.


    <i>I knew it would be like this!</i>


    The suspicion that had been put out was sparked again.


    They dont know what kind of resistance hell put up if the re-examination judgment for illegally registered hunters is rejected.


    This means that there are many risks involved when contacting them.


    Thats why many employees dont want to do re-examination cases, but Seonwoo Yeon didnt refuse to do difficult work.


    That hunter is estimated to be C-ss or higher, so I will go there myself.


    Diligence and working hard.


    Because the identity of this earthling is expressed in such words.


    <i>-Ding dong, ding dong.</i>


    In the end, the whole butterfly effect continues to this day.


    <i>-Ding dong, ding dong.</i>


    Employees dispatched from the association stood in front of a studio to reveal the secret that Kim Kiryeo was hiding.


    They were very nervous, fearing that Kim Kiryeo would run away or cause trouble.


    All right. Then Ill just take my cell phone ande out right away, so please wait.


    What they feared didnt happen.


    The man who greeted them surprisingly epted the situation meekly.


    Kim Kiryeo returned to his room after opening his door wide and fixing it with his metal presser foot.


    He seemed to be looking for his cell phone.


    <i>Does Hunter Kim Kiryeo live here?</i>


    Seonwoo Yeon waited for him and looked around the studio without thinking.


    This is the view she saw through the door earlier, but looking again, it was a very narrow and old room.


    <i>Why in a house like this?</i>


    Even if he were just a D-ss awakened person, he would be able to live in a much better ce.


    If she thinks about it, the clothes that Kim Kiryeo wears are also like that.


    In contrast to Seonwoo Yeons custom-made suit, the cheap clothes look like they were purchased at the lowest price on an online open market.


    He always wore cheap clothes.


    Could it be that Kim Kiryeo has a frugal personality?


    <i>No, there is no way such a person wouldmit the illegal act of lying about his rank. There must be some hidden assets or something like that.</i>


    Seonwoo Yeon shook her head and made up her mind.


    She doesnt need to be impatient.


    Anyway, all his wrongdoing will be revealed today.


    ***


    <i><A momentter, the main building of the Awakening Test Center></i>


    What a bolt out of the blue.


    <i>Some guy reported me? Could it be Ahn Yoonseung? Theres no way, then I should have been caught a long time ago.</i>


    As I was frantically called in with a sudden request to appear, the Awakening Test Office was already right around the corner.


    I stopped for a moment in front of the main door of the main building.


    Then I asked the employee next to me.


    Excuse me. But I dont have money, isnt the cost of re-examination for awakening expensive?


    This was the problem I was most worried about at the moment.


    I heard that the re-examination fee is well over 400,000 won because there is no support from the government.


    There is no charge for re-examination as part of an investigation.


    Aha.


    So is it actually beneficial?


    I was inwardly delighted with Seonwoo Yeons answer. Because the awakening rank test is a magic power test


    I can check in advance what Kiryeos specifications are.


    <i>Just as you cannot smell your own scent, it is difficult to estimate the amount of your own magical power until you use it.</i>


    However, Seonwoo Yeon looked at me, who was excited, and spoke dryly.


    Please note that the only time you will not be charged is if the rank is the same even after re-examination.


    Yes?


    If you are found guilty, you will have to pay a fine and a testing fee, right?


    I shut my mouth at those words.


    Wait a second, then wouldnt that mean Im in a dangerous situation right now?


    <i>W, what should I do? Even the food costs are still at a critical level.</i>


    But even before I could argue, the presiding judge came close.


    At the end of the hallway. The ce I enter through an opaque ss door.


    There, I saw a machine that I had never seen before.


    Is this an awakening tester?


    You did itst year.


    Ah! T, thats right.


    So it looks like this


    To sum up the memories in Kim Kiryeos brain, there are three hibernation capsules like those in the movies.


    It has Pixy written inrge letters on the side. Is it thepany name?


    Lie down herefortably. Support your neck here. The measurement takes about a minute.


    First, Iy down in the capsule as instructed by Seonwoo Yeon.


    Then the ss on the front closed like a lid, and the space where Iy was temporarily sealed.


    <i>Chiik. Chiik. Chiik.</i>


    The constant sound of the air pump operating could be heard in the background.


    <i>Aha.</i>


    I immediately realized the Earthlings method of measuring magical power.


    What is pushed into the capsule is thick external mana.


    In other words, thebined concentration of the internal mana factor and the external mana factor that are naturally pushed out through the wizards breathing meet


    <i>-Beeeep!</i>


    Its done. Pleasee out.


    Oh, its over before I can even finish thinking about it.


    I got up and organized my hair which had been pressed down from lying down.


    What is the result?


    Of course, the measured values were as expected.


    This is the F-ss top category. Youre in the top 60%.


    Seonwoo Yeon reads the numerical value disyed on the side panel.


    This is a natural result. This is because this test has a major w.


    Its probably because of the lungs.


    This test method cant properly determine the magical power of a person with respiratory disease.


    Kim Kiryeo, a stupid trash smoker,pletely ruined his lungs while he was alive!


    To put it another way, can I do a breathalyzer test since I can barely breathe?


    <i>Measuring magical power with such a flimsy device. Anyway, its uncivilized. Youre uncivilized~</i>


    This is why Kim Kiryeo was F-ss during his lifetime.


    I clicked my tongue andined about how bad Earthlings are at technology.


    I know thats a possibility. So today, we n to measure your awakening value with thetest update of the device tester.


    .


    Of course, we have been providing re-examination guidance to people with lung diseases collectively sincest year. Now if you think that excuse will work


    And it only took 3 seconds for myposure to be shattered.


    What did you just say, Teacher Seonwoo Yeon?


    Earthlings already know the problem?


    Extreme honorifics appear without me even realizing it. Then the woman gave a cold look in her eyes and said.


    Kim Kiryeo-ssi has already missed the opportunity to voluntarily correct your rank.


    For some reason, my mouth felt dry.


    If the results from thetest tester are different enough to change your rank, you are a false rank applicant.


    .


    Ive never heard such information.


    That makes me even more afraid. The unknown fear sent a chill down my spine.


    N, no. Wait a minute. Right now the association has some misunderstanding


    I hurriedly tried to argue, but they wouldnt let me.


    The employees who were waiting nearby suddenly surrounded me and started checking to see if I hade in secretly hiding items or equipment!


    Wait!


    Moreover, after being robbed by the Earthlings, I was forcibly dragged into arge room.


    Thetest update of the device tester was waiting for me in the center of the room.


    It looks just like an MRI machine, right? Dont worry. There is no reason to take out metal items when inspecting it.


    I want to go to the bathroom.


    Yeah, lets do it right away. Lie down.


    Damn it.


    I wasnt tricked by the im that the test fee was free.


    No, I shouldnt have opened the door in the first ce.


    Ugh


    I had no choice but to enter the testing machine since I couldnt ovee the terrible pressure from Seonwoo Yeon and the other employee.


    <i>Wuuung.</i>


    As the measurement progressed, my heart was beating like crazy.


    <i>No. I cant pay the 480,000 won examination fee.</i>


    <i>Wuuuung, ding.</i>


    And after a while, finally, the machines noise stopped.


    Suddenly, silence fell in the spacious examination room.


    Is it over?


    Still, there are some cases that are happening in this world.


    I got up with anticipation, wondering if there might have been an error in the test. However, Seonwoo Yeons expression denied this.


    <i>Damn it, Im done.</i>


    Not only Seonwoo Yeon, but all the hunters in this room were looking at me with stern faces.


    Im doomed.


    Oh, uhm.


    Where should I start talking about this?


    Because Im an alien. First of all, I roughly chose the corpse with the most magical energy and was reincarnated, right?


    But Kim Kiryeo actually has bad lungs


    How many years in prison are those who make a false report?


    Im done. What kind of exnation is it?


    I gave up everything and mumbled with nk eyes.


    Hunter Kim Kiryeo.


    However


    The words that came out of Seonwoo Yeons mouth were even more shocking.


    Awakening value 14. F-ss category.


    .?


    To be exact, 14.08Aw T, theres no charge.


    I passed the examination safely.


    I was happy for a moment because I thought I wouldnt have to pay for a re-examination.


    Gradually, I began to understand what this news meant.


    Seonwoo Yeon-ssi, what is the principle of thistest tester?


    Yes?


    Dont you know? No, this is not the time. Hey. Give me my cell phone that you took away.


    I got my cell phone back right away.


    It wasnt difficult to find the information I wanted.


    When I searched for thetest awakening tester principles on the Inte, the rted exnation appeared on page 1.


    And after reading the description.


    As someone who is at the peak of all magic arts, I can confirm that this tester is quite urate.


    In theory, it is not possible to have a great error value.


    Cold sweat began to flow from my forehead.


    Why are you doing that? Is it because the results are strange?


    Thats a bit


    This is the most advanced tester in existence, so there are no errors.


    Seonwoo Yeon spoke calmly, not even knowing why I was puzzled.


    Ah, I understand why youre doing that. Its an increase of about two fromst years results. Now I see that the numbers are approximate values of the new method, and although there is no indication, it seems like you probably measured it with this type of machinest year as well


    Is something like this going up?


    Anyway, we dont have a problem with this level of change. Dont worry.


    After hearing that, I urgently asked a question.


    Can it continue to rise in the future?


    The amount of natural magic power of Alphauri has barely changed.


    Because it was a talent that was determined from the time I was a fetus.


    However, Kim Kiryeo is from Earth. Maybe he can grow and escape from the F-ss.


    No. It usually stops after it increases to this level.


    But Seonwoo Yeons calm voice soon gave a tough sentence.


    There is never a case where the awakening value that you were born with changes naturally.


    Now, lets look back slowly.


    At first, I thought Kim Kiryeos lungs were the problem.


    I thought smoking had damaged the output device, my lungs, making me unable to use magic.


    But what if it wasnt actually a problem with the output device?


    This bodys fuel tank was empty to begin with, so if the magic failed every time.


    Kiryeo-ssi, whats wrong with you?


    That was it.


    The answer to a problem I had forgotten was found.


    <i>That golem back then.</i>


    Even though I went over the same road before, I didnt encounter the golem; however, Ahn Yoonseungs team had an ident that woke it up.


    Why was that like that?


    Kim Kiryeo was not recognized as an intruder from the beginning. Because the magic power in the body was too low.


    Hunter Kim Kiryeo? Do you feel any side effects from the test? I think you look dizzy.


    Now that all the puzzles have been solved, Im about to burst intoughter.


    I put my hands in my pockets and looked nkly at the testing device.


    Until then, people were really positive.


    Of course I do lose some of my power; however, if I can just heal my lungs, it wille back.


    To be honest, I was extremely excited even before entering thattest testing device.


    I was only worried about getting caught thinking that the tremendous magic inherent in my body would be revealed here.


    But, who would have guessed that the body I possessed was hiding such a cute w?


    No. Theres no problem.


    Now I have to admit it.


    My reincarnation spell failed.


    A fatal error urred in the selection of corpses, and thanks to this, I ended up living as the weakest, lowest-level wizard on Earth.


    Hahaha.
