Evolution Theory of the Hunter - Chapter 175

Chapter 175

The lodging the American government prepared for me was a considerably high class mansion . Should I say that it was like a Hollywood star’s house .

There was a large swimming pool in the garden, a separate building with a garage and the main building consisting of 3 floors . The garden was so large that the driveway connected to the iron gates seemed to be about 500 meters long .

“It’s a safehouse . People from the government will arrive shortly while you’re resting . She left after guiding us to the mansion .

I let my body sink into the living room sofa and stared at the ceiling with blank eyes .

My god, Edward of all people .

He, who was sitting next to me suddenly opened his mouth .

“Why did that woman take my phone number?”

“I’m not sure . It seems she’s planning on using it as an experiment . ”

“She was excessively kind considering that though? If I’m not wrong, she seemed to want to become my servant . ”

“No, I don’t think it’s like that . ”

I shook my head with a solemn face .

I felt like there was a need to explain a girl’s life in detail to this guy . No, in the first place, weren’t vampires a race that hoarded women?

“To try to meet me without even the thought of becoming a servant . I have no idea what she’s trying to do . ”

“Are you a virgin by any chance?”

I asked just in case . It was weird no matter how one looked at it .

“Humph . I’m a vampire . ”

Edward crossed his legs while wiping one side of his hair .

But he couldn’t hide the quivering of his eyes though .

“You’re a virgin I see . ”

“I don’t think you’re in the position to say such things though . If I’m a virgin then aren’t you incompetent?”

“In, incompetent you say……! Hey! Is a human being the same as a vampire?”

“What’s so different? Are you thinking that vampires are born Casanovas or something?”

“They have such an image . ”

“It seems you don’t know something but have you heard of the existence of female vampires?”

“Hm…… Aren’t there?”

“Not servants . ”

“Are there not?”

“Nope . In the first place, women can’t accept peerage . ”

Now that I think about it, vampires had a peerage system of their own . This guy was still a vampire viscount . He was at level 4 thanks to constantly sucking monster blood and he will advance to count once he become level 5 .

“Either way, what about that side not having women . ”

“From your standards, it can be seen as riding an all boys middle school, high school, and engineering tech tree . The life of a vampire you see, as long as it’s not a vampire with a surname, they will only ever see men their entire lives . Can you understand? Such a life?”

“So in other words, you’re a virgin?”

“Listen properly for fucks sakes!”

In the end, Edward started raising his voice . It’s been a long time since this guy raised his voice . No, is it the first time?

Either way, a virgin vampire . I didn’t expect that at all .

On top of that, it’s said that a large number of vampires unintentionally live like Buddist monk so it feels like the great image I had of them is crumbling down .

I placed a hand on his shoulder .

“This big brother will help you . ”

“No, take care of your own business . Mrs . Soo-ah is one thing and what are you going to do about Mrs . Yeon-gyeong?”

“What about her?”

“At night on the day before we left…… mmmm!”

I desperately blocked his mouth .

There wasn’t anybody listening but just in case something like wiretapping…… No, even if there was there’s no danger of Soo-ah finding out huh .

“How did you know?”

“I’m a creature of the night . If it’s at night, I’m able to see through walls to distinguish matter . ”

“Are you saying that you peeked?”

“No, I was on the ceiling of your room from the beginning . ”

“Why were you there?”

“Then make me a room or something . ”

“Ah…… . ”

I finally realized that I didn’t make a separate room for Edward to stay in .

However, there are many empty rooms .

“Are you a child . You could’ve just gone into any empty room . ”

I was going to do so . But that day, there were particularly people in every single room . ”

Certainly, it was the day when everyone drank and dropped dead .

Most drank outside but some went back inside and fell asleep . It wasn’t weird for Edward to be in my room .

I couldn’t help but nod at his flawless logic .

However, this leery feeling didn’t disappear . I was thinking about what it was when I remembered something from what he said .

“Wait . Does that mean that you can peek on the girls at night?”

“The girls?”

“Soo-ah and Yeon-gyeong . ”

“Ah . I don’t do that . ”

“You don’t but not can’t? Why?”

“Because they’re ugly . ”

“…… . ”

I silently stared at his face for a while .

He had eyes that didn’t have a hint of lying .

This guy . He said that for real .

I tried asking just in case he wasn’t into Asians .

“Then what about girls at the level of the one from just now?”

“Are you talking about Jane Gray?”

“Yeah . ”

“That girl is uglier though . To be honest, I only realized that she was a girl after hearing her voice . ”

This guy was amazing . Where the hell were his eyes planted?

“Then what kind of girls are beautiful?”

“I’m not sure…… Perhaps on the level of Joo Ja-yeon?”

Joo Ja-yeon was a famous actress that comes out on TV these days . She was also an idol that receives great praises saying that she has a face that only comes out every 100 years or so .

It’s hopeless . This guy is destined to forever be a virgin .

***

Staring blankly at the sky while letting my body rest in the water of the swimming pool, I could finally understand why Soo-ah wanted to make a swimming pool at my house .

It was a pretty good feeling .

It was the middle of winter in December and even though the sun started going down it didn’t feel that cold . The water temperature was adequate as well so I don’t think I need to worry about a cold either .

Of course, I wasn’t in the water for simply playing in the water .

I let my body slowly float up to the surface .

I slowly raised my body after letting my body touch the surface of the water .

I was eventually able to succeed in making my feet stand on the water .

I could also see ripples being created on the surface below my feet as well .

I took a step forward . My foot sank deeply into the water causing my body to sway momentarily but I was able to get my balance .

After walking a few steps like that I soon got used to it . People might be surprised if they saw this but it was pretty easy once you get your balance .

My body got sucked into the water once more .

This is pretty fun .

“What are you doing?”

Edward said as he sat on the edge of the swimming pool .

“Ah . I just wanted to try it once . ”

“Pointless thing to do . ”

“A human that walks on water has been a long romance . I’m not the only one you know?”

I said it like that but it wasn’t merely for repricating something that would only come out in a religious book .

I am currently in the middle of training to control psychokinesis meticulously . It was a new ability and I had to get my body used to it if I wanted to use it in battle .

“And that’s why you’re making such a mess at the pool?”

“There’s that as well but I won’t get hurt even if I fall into the pool once I start training flying in the sky . ”

“That’s not what someone who fell from 100 meters in the air should be saying . ”

“That’s because I was wearing armor . That armor is really heavy you see . It’s only possible for me to wear it because it’s me . ”

The level 10 armor I had at the moment was a no name with no options . Even so, it had good defensive abilities and it could protect my entire body since it was a full plate armor .

The only flaw was that it was extremely heavy .

That’s why its price was cheaper compared to other level 10 items .

I scooped up some water while thinking about this and that .

A large bubble of water then rose up . It was approximately the size of a fist . It would be more accurate to call it a chunk of water than a bubble .

“What’s that?”

“Should I call it a training ball?”

A spherical ball of water lingered in front of me as if water was spilled in zero gravity . I tried disfiguring it by concentrating my attention .

At first, it was difficult to even make it move according to my will but I was able to create whatever figure I wanted .

First a triangle, then a rectangle, changing to various shapes gave a pretty large help in learning how to control psychokinesis minutely .

As I got used to it, I made two balls of water float up . I was going to try using the power separately instead of focusing it in one place .

Splash!

“Urg . It’s difficult as expected . ”

It was definitely difficult to focus on two different places instead of one .

The Dancing Sword didn’t matter since it would move on its own without me controlling it but psychokinesis was completely different .

It was on the same difficulty as drawing two different shapes with each hand .

“Where are you planning on using such an ability to practice so hard?”

Edward asked while yawning .

I didn’t have any thoughts in particular at first . It’s because I thought that it wouldn’t be very useful in battle even though I thought ‘oh great’ since it was psychokinesis and all .

Psychokinesis was currently at 2,000 .

In other words, I had the power to move 200 kilograms but it only meant that I could lift an object of that weight; It wasn’t possible for me to attack an opponent or something .

It wasn’t even possible to tie an enemy down with that strength . There’s no way the monsters I fight will subject to that level of strength after all .

I pondered whether I should just use it to turn the lights off or to get the remote that was far away and decided that I should first see how others use psychokinesis first .

However, it wasn’t easy to find posts on psychokinesis on the market bulletin board .

It was because it was a rather pointless skill to have when there was only a single skill slot available .

Hunters don’t use these . It was better for civilians with a surplus amount of money to use it .

I gave up in the end and started digging through regular communities .

However, there weren’t many gains there as well . There was quite a bit of content but it wasn’t useful .

The psychokinesis of the old system did not allow minute control and was only able to move light things making its usage limited .

Flipping up a woman’s skirt, catching a smartphone while its falling . They were all pitiful things like hidden cams .

Was it not possible for me to find a better usage for this skill .

I suddenly got an idea while changing channels using psychokinesis .

I thought that it would be useful for blocking bullets .

Guns were the best weapons for dealing with hunters . It didn’t matter much to hunters that were covered all over but those kinds of armors weren’t common and were bound to have a few exposed parts .

Even an excellent hunter would eventually get killed if dozens of soldiers continuously fire .

However, what if I used psychokinesis?

The gun itself was a scary weapon but in the end, the thing that fires it is the finger on the trigger .

Also, it doesn’t take much strength to prevent that finger from moving .

If I could appropriately distribute my power in that area, I can at least prevent the guns I can see from firing .

If I could use the ability more skillfully, it might be possible to destroy the gun itself .

In the end, a gun also words by machines moving . If I could disable the firing mechanism that hits the gun it might not be impossible .

After thinking that, I went out to study concentrating my power in a small location .

I did this and that and came to the conclusion that it was ‘difficult’ .

If it was only a single enemy then it wasn’t difficult .

However, what if it was dozens?

Distributing my power to each and every one of them seemed almost impossible .

However, time was all I had left . I could train psychokinesis as much as I wanted before people came from the American government .

The reason I’m using pool water is to make it easy to see the form psychokinesis shows its power . Changing the shape of the ball of water was to practice precise control .
