My On*Hole Academy [EN]: Chapter 247

EP.246 Why You Should Watch the Weathercaster’s Surprise Chest Forecast

*

S-Class Hunter Nam Su-won.

He had been close to water since he was young. After falling into the cold bath of a bathhouse due to a friend’s prank, he awakened his water magic talent for the first time.

There are many prestigious academies now, but when Su-won was young, there was nothing like that, so it was difficult for him to get along with other students, and he aimed to become a professional hunter…….

Now, he is a 10-year veteran hunter.

In accordance with his motto of 『Don’t overdo it. Make a lot of money when you can』,

He was calmly exploring the dangerous zone, dealing with miners, and collecting spoils.

‘……Whew, that’s 9 of them.’

It’s my first time hunting the Kin of the Universe [a type of monster].

It was good that we all saw it for the first time together. Because I saw the enemy’s movements at that time, it was easy afterwards.

To civilians, a cosmic monster that shoots beams is an enormous existence, but not to hunters.

Even if it shoots a beam, is the power of that beam absolute, how long is the delay until it shoots, is there enough room to dig in after shooting…….

The hunting difficulty changes depending on such various factors,

The more flexible the hunt, the more confident Su-won was.

‘I can make quite a lot of money with this.’

I’m a little excited just thinking about what to eat when I get off work.

In the meantime…….

Su-won was reminded of the students he saw when he first came here.

Hillaria, Kim Sang-hyuk, Yu-una, Hena, Kibele…….

Everyone was full of confidence and their faces seemed to shine.

‘Compared to that, I am.’

My head seems to be the same as when I was a student.

I’ve gotten old before I knew it.

Repeating a day-to-day life of earning a living, all that’s left is a body that aches here and there.

How can I make a good living and get out of here?

I wander around dangerous areas thinking only about that.

「Freelance hunters are a bit…」

Hunters are both a shunned job and a preferred job at matchmaking meetings.

Isn’t it funny?

Top prospects or famous squads sponsored by companies are doing well and appearing on TV,

But freelance hunters like Su-won are just making a decent living.

You never know when you’re going to die.

Decent women also avoid it, saying they don’t want to make a fatherless child.

In fact, it was another aftereffect of Korea, where single-parent families have increased dramatically.

“Huuup! Water Blast!”

Koo-oong!!

He takes a break after dealing with another galaxy miner.

“How many of these guys do I have to catch to buy a house…….”

One, ten, hundred, thousand…….

Thousand.

“I think it’s worth a try?”

If I catch ten a day…….

While doing such calculations, Su-won discovered another type of miner.

‘What is it?’

Not a figure with long, skinny arms and legs,

Like a praying mantis…….

A huge monster with countless eyeballs in the center of its torso.

Chills……!!

‘First, check it…….’

Swish!

He waves his hand and sprays water beads. The beads gradually moved forward at a constant speed in the air.

It’s a bead that explodes when it overlaps with other magic wavelengths. You can use this to understand the enemy’s movements in detail, but…….

‘Huh?’

The bead slid through the mantis’s body.

By the time I came to my senses, it had already appeared behind Su-won, and he was hit in the stomach by a thick hook sickle and flew away.

He reflexively used water magic to knock out the mantis, but Su-won’s injury was much more fatal.

“Cough!!”

Su-won collapsed on the street and twitched.

‘Am I going to die like this…….’

I could buy a house if I lived just a hundred more days….

“Ku, kheeuk!”

Su-won coughed up blood and realized that the strength was gradually draining from his body.

‘Sorry, Mom….’

At that time.

“Hey! Mister, what are you doing there! Get up!”

A red-haired female student with a greatsword stood in front of him, protecting him.

She was Hillaria, a top prospect with corporate sponsorship that he envied so much.

“Kibele! Are there any other guys around?”

“No! Just that individual!”

“Mister. What are its characteristics!”

“Keo… Keoheuk…….”

Did I get stabbed in the lungs? It’s too hard to make a sound.

Su-won struggled so hard that his body trembled.

Damn it.

Isn’t it too pathetic for an S-class hunter to be protected by an academy student……!!

Even a little, be helpful…!

“Eyes….”

“Eyes?”

“Don’t look at the eyes……!!”

Swoosh!

The Galaxy Mantis swung its sickle, and Hillaria lightly jumped up to avoid it.

That light sergeant jump easily exceeded almost 5m.

“How can I not look when there are so many eyes! Damn it!”

“What about the eyes?”

“Don’t look at the eyes. Kibele!”

Hillaria lands again.

As soon as she saw those countless eyes, Hillaria stood there blankly.

Su-won watched this and reviewed the situation even while coughing up blood.

‘A power that interferes with the mind!’

It’s 『Fear Injection』!!

Su-won, who immediately grasped the enemy’s ability, grabbed Hillaria’s ankle and forcibly knocked her down.

Swooooosh!

The sickle passed through where Hillaria was standing.

“Huh? Uh?”

Hillaria, who came to her senses a second later, flinched at the attack passing over her.

“Mister. What is it?”

“…Don’t look at the eyes…. Consciousness… flies away…….”

“That’s what it was?”

「That’s what it was?」…….

In a good way, she’s completely crazy. This student!

Su-won shuddered.

‘You guys… deserve to succeed. Aren’t you afraid of that?’

The opponent is a monster from the realm of the universe, a realm we do not know.

The Galaxy Mantis rushes towards Hillaria. Hillaria glared and instead avoided the continuous sickle strikes and dug inside.

And,

Swing the sword.

Koo-oooong!!!

The floor vibrated from the greatsword wielded by Hillaria.

“Almost… This guy’s distortion rate is… like a fortress…!!”

“This is not a level we can handle. We have to run away!”

Kibele immediately ran out and supported Su-won.

“Hillaria. Buy time! I’ll take this person!”

“Okay!”

Hillaria immediately ran in the opposite direction and provoked the mantis.

“This way! You stupid bug!”

Shoook!

The mantis moved quickly and returned to Hillaria’s front.

“Heo…….”

Hillaria was also impressed by the speed of movement.

It’s impossible to escape……!

Hillaria avoided the attacks with light steps even in the desperate situation, and then clung to the wall.

“Do you know why I’m the clinging Hillaria?”

Koo-oong!

The entire wall that Hillaria was clinging to was destroyed, and the shopping mall building collapsed.

She flew to the opposite building to avoid it, but she shuddered at the enemy’s destructive power.

“Is this…… should I leave a will……!”

Meanwhile, Su-won trembled, clutching his stomach.

“Go… save your colleague…. Don’t worry about here.”

“You can’t move by yourself! I’m going to take you to the base camp temporary ward as you are.”

“Keuk… Heoeok…….”

“She may look like that, but she’s tough. She’ll be okay!”

“…….”

Su-won couldn’t refute and was barely holding on to his consciousness.

Hillaria, while fighting against the Galaxy Mantis and in a desperate situation, was reminded of someone she had seen quite a few times.

Quincia, the Sword Saint’s daughter.

‘Compared to that girl’s swordsmanship…….’

It feels like my eyeballs are spinning,

The exchange match was definitely proof that it left something for Hillaria.

In a one-on-one battle with the Sword Saint, Hillaria opened her limits, but she had no opponent, so she had not been able to confirm it until now.

As close combat rarely resulted in a victory, the mantis glared with its black eyeballs, and Hillaria spaced out.

‘Husband…!’

The sickle, which could cut down even buildings, exploded into Hillaria’s waist.

Shoooooook……!!

Koo-oong!!

“Ha……!! It’s too early to die after all. I am!”

Hillaria, with her returned consciousness,

She smiled confidently as she grabbed the huge sickle as if she were doing a kick catch.

“Got you. You mantis bastard!”

“Kiriik?”

The monster’s eyeballs spin.

An impossible situation. A situation that should not exist.

Hillaria grabbed the mantis’s attack with her waist while 「clinging to the ground」 with the strength of her toes so as not to fly away.

“Heuuueup!!”

Hillaria threw the giant mantis, bigger than a bear, in the opposite direction.

And cut it with a greatsword!

Koo-oong!

The magic barrier, which was said to be fortress-grade, also cracked.

“It opens when I keep hitting it.”

Hang on.

Attack.

That is the source of Hillaria’s strength. Everything has been broken with a greatsword, and it is not like Hillaria to whine in this situation.

A battle beyond the limit!

The mantis also seemed to have decided not to leave this place until it cut off Hillaria’s breath, and firmly rooted its legs and swung its sickle.

“There!”

That’s when the broadcasting vehicle appeared.

A group of people appeared to film Hillaria.

“This is a level 2 dangerous zone, Bakmu depth. As you can see, a new entity is in combat with a hunter.”

Weathercaster Lim So-hyun pulled out her sword and gripped it tightly.

“I will catch it myself.”

The mantis does not back down at all even while fighting a 2-on-1 battle.

Weathercaster Lim So-hyun and Hillaria each took one leg and blocked it with their swords, looking for an opening.

“The student should get out! I’ll do it.”

“What are you talking about when you’re having trouble with just one!”

“I can’t use my strength when there’s a student!”

“Don’t look at the eyes!”

Regardless of Hillaria’s warning, weathercaster Lim So-hyun was hit by fear injection and spaced out.

Hillaria pushed So-hyun with her shoulder to knock her down and defended against the attack instead.

“Euk!?”

“Your consciousness flies away from time to time when you look at this guy’s eyes…!”

“I won’t be fooled anymore!”

“Focus on the task at hand, leave the weather forecast for later! Big-boobed weathercaster unni [term of endearment for older sister]!”

“Si, since it’s a live broadcast, that kind of title is prohibited!”

Hillaria climbed up the wall and struck the mantis with her greatsword.

Koo-oong!!

In that gap, So-hyun immediately caught the timing and cut through the lower body.

Both showed off their amazing swordsmanship at the same time, successfully stripping away the mantis’s magic wavelength.

“You’re doing great! So-hyun-ah!”

Cheers came from among the staff.

“The new entity of the level 2 deep zone monster is… hoo…… so strong that even an S-rank hunter would have a hard time! As you can see!”

Chwaak!

Due to the mantis’s surprise attack, the underwear of Lim So-hyun, the weathercaster who was briefing, was revealed.

“Ah-eut!?”

The titles of the articles that would be posted on the internet today flashed through So-hyun’s mind.

「Embarrassing mistake by the weathercaster who was relaying gravitational wavesㅋㅋ [Korean internet slang for laughing]」

「Today’s dangerous zone weathercaster’s tits」

「Let’s find out about Lim So-hyun’s weathercaster’s breasts」

No way!

“Eueut!! Vi, viewers……. 잠시, 잠시, 제 복장을 점검하고…! [Korean for ‘Just a moment, just a moment, let me check my attire…’]”

“What are you doing suddenly!”

Hillaria shouted as she jumped back and defended against the suddenly rushing mantis.

“Keuk!! If that’s the case, you shouldn’t have helped me in the first place!”

“But, the underwear!”

“Why are you worrying about that like a girl? You might show your underwear while fighting!”

“What do you know, student?!”

“I know. There’s someone with your talent in my grade, Isolda……!”

“…….”

So-hyun gritted her teeth.

“Catching this is the priority now!”

“Oh really! I understand! Now that it’s come to this, let’s finish it quickly!”

“The barrier is almost completely stripped away……! But……!”

Shwiik.

The mantis curled up its body and refilled almost all of its magic barrier.

Hillaria and Lim So-hyun, who noticed this, gaped.

“Lim So-hyun! Comment!”

“Ah…… Yes, viewers… I am currently in battle with a new entity…….”

So-hyun wiped away her sweat and said, revealing her pink full-cup bra.

“……Very… solid…!”
