Trash of the Count's Family

Must not be sane. (6)

However, there was a bigger issue than this purple indignity test.

“Goldie gramps! The human, something is weird! I keep sensing the human’s powers in that yellow piece!”

The chubby front paw was pointing at the yellow piece.

“The Super Rock, fiery thunderbolt, water, and shield! The human seems to be in a big fight right now!”

“It’s serious, nya!”

“This is not right, nya.”

Raon, Hong, and On commented after coming to Eruhaben's side and were huffing with serious expressions on their faces.

“Hey Raon.”

“What is it, gramps?”

“I don’t feel anything.”

On and Hong nodded their heads to show that they somewhat agreed with the ancient Dragon. They were not suspicious about Raon, they were curious. Raon pounded his chest as if he was frustrated.

"Anyway, I can feel it! I can feel our human using his powers! That is the problem!”

The ancient Dragon and the Cats nodded their heads.

It was a problem.

Cale was the only one who could not make it out of the sloth test.

Why was he using so much of his ancient powers in this sloth test?

All of these were things that made them confused. He seemed to be in a problematic situation.

Choi Jung Gun stared at Cale who was speaking affectionately but with a vicious attitude and opened his mouth.

“Chat about what?”

“To start...”

Cale wanted this conversation with Choi Jung Gun to be short. He didn't need to chat with this guy for long.

“Sunbae. That ability you just used that can slash through anything. Is that really your ability?”

Choi Jung Gun had used Lee Soo Hyuk's ability.

‘The cataclysm happens after I take the College Scholastic Ability Test. Team leader Lee Soo Hyuk is known to have gotten his slashing ability after the cataclysm.’

Kim Rok Soo was only 17 in this illusion.

That meant that Choi Han had this ability before Lee Soo Hyuk.

That was why Cale had a single question.

How did team leader Lee Soo Hyuk end up with Choi Jung Gun’s ability?

“…….”

Choi Jung Gun did not say anything. Cale took that as a positive response and asked.

“Can you pass that power to someone else? Or can someone else learn it?”

Choi Jung Gun looked at Cale with an inspecting gaze before responding.

"Why?”

It sounded casual but the tone was sharp.

“You want it for yourself?”

Choi Jung Gun was asking Cale as if to get a feel for what he wanted.

“Yes I do.”

Cale just answered since he didn't want to explain everything.

Choi Jung Gun flinched after hearing Cale answer without any hesitation and dodged Cale’s gaze to look at the car again. However, he still responded.

“Other people can use this power too.”

Choi Jung Gun nonchalantly answered.

“However, I need to give up this power for that to happen.”

His face was cold without any emotions visible on his face.

“I don’t plan on handing this power to someone else by losing access to it. It is not something for you to desire.”

“Pffft.”

Cale couldn’t help but chuckle.

‘He has no plans on handing it to anybody else?’

In that case, how did team leader Lee Soo Hyuk end up with it a few years later?

The answer was simple.

Choi Jung Gun, Mr. Nelan Barrow, gave up on this power and handed it over to team leader Lee Soo Hyuk.

“Huuuuuu.”

Cale let out a sigh.

‘It’s hard to understand.’

Choi Jung Gun was currently crazed about hunting Hunters. Why would someone like that hand over a power that was useful for hunting to someone like Lee Soo Hyuk, a person he has no connections to whatsoever?

‘Questions only bring forth more questions. Let’s just focus on the truth right now.’

Cale did not create any more questions for himself.

The answers would be revealed at some point.

Choi Jung Gun was now searching Park So Jin’s half-crushed truck before he asked Cale a question.

“Then why do you want that power?”

“Do you wish to know?”

Choi Jung Gun looked back at Cale.

“Did you already know who I was?”

The corners of Cale’s lips curled up.

“Nelan Barrow? Or are you looking for the first Dragon Slayer? Maybe the person that the Super Rock saved until the end?”

Saved until the end.

Choi Jung Gun’s stoic face slightly cracked after hearing those words.

Cale recognized the emotions visible through that crack.

‘...Guilt......?’

Choi Jung Gun was feeling guilt toward the Super Rock. However, he quickly erased that crack and put on an iron wall-like face.

“I don’t need it.”

“Need what?”
