Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Chapter 81 - An Ominous Feeling?



Hati Eri and Lee Su-yeon, who witnessed Black Cat, who was a B-rank superhuman, become stronger to S-rank level in an instant right before their eyes, couldn’t help but be amazed.
‘It’s really S-rank? And not just barely… she’s strong!’
‘Kya… The more I see it, the more amazing this guy is. S-rank isn’t just anyone’s dog’s name, but to do it so simply…’
It was something that couldn’t be known without hearing the details through fortune-telling. While the difficulty itself was on the easier side, knowing the conditions was another story.
Because strong superhumans often gather around Dam Han-ul, and even EX-rank ones are getting involved, it’s easy to be mistaken, but originally, S-rank is a tiny minority of monsters that defy common sense.
The man before their eyes casually ignored the limitations that most superhumans have and easily created such an S-rank with just the means of ‘fortune-telling’, which he humbly calls amateur.
‘No, at this level, it’s too amazing to even call it fortune-telling…?’
Predicting the future, whether prophecy or fortune-telling, is by no means an ordinary thing.
If you could see the future 10 times and get it half right, you’d be praised as a great prophet. Even then, it wouldn’t be detailed and would be vague. Like the oracles that appear in ancient myths.
Even in this era where numerous monsters and strong ones abound, the ability to see the future is rarer than EX-rank transcendents. And even those aren’t proper ones.
For example, instead of seeing the future you want to see, you might occasionally see random events that will happen someday (like a spotted stray cat giving birth to 9 kittens 3 years later), or have a low success rate, or even be a fraud pretending to be a prophet.
And even such weak precognition comes at a great cost. Whether living sickly for life, becoming terminally ill, shortening lifespan, or being destined to die.
As a certain sage from the past who revealed Yeondal-gi’s future said, seeing the future is a terribly dangerous and difficult task. To the extent that even ‘gods’ can’t see it properly.
However, the man before their eyes is different, different on a whole other level.
Not using tarot cards, but just shuffling some game cards, showing them and interpreting them, and it matches exactly. Even without using any tools, just glancing at the sky or looking at a face once or touching it lightly, an incredibly detailed future pops out so easily. And there are many other outlandish things too.
To be honest, every time I watch him do fortune-telling, I often don’t understand how such interpretations come out.
Even Black Cat, who just ascended to S-rank this time, was like that.
No, honestly, how can you know the detailed regional name, dungeon name and information, and conquest method just by looking at a sticker with a merman drawn on land?!
Honestly, it seems like he’s trying to at least imitate a fortune-teller even though all that isn’t necessary. Or maybe he finds it fun, or wanted to add minimal persuasiveness.
Although there was such curiosity or doubt, there was no suspicion because they believed in Dam Han-ul and his abilities, but weren’t they curious?
It’s quite strange that such a being, regardless of physical abilities or whatever, is ranked F-grade as a superhuman, the lowest of the lowest, treated as an ordinary person.
Isn’t he more fitting as a ‘superhuman’ than Hati Eri who tears space with a single gesture, or Lee Su-yeon who can snipe across continents, or beings who can poison and annihilate an entire magic realm with a single drop of poison or make everything on this planet, living or not, dance by playing a single piece of music?
Maybe he’s too amazing for the machine to notice? Or is it something that can’t be measured by such things?
There was some merit to that. Many people don’t fully reveal their abilities. That machine isn’t perfect, is it? Of course, no one knows what’s really true.
…Of course, Dam Han-ul himself would be horrified at the thought. He’d think it’s nonsense, right?
‘Hmm, I saw it somewhere… Did they say that prophets fix the future they see…?’
I don’t remember well, but I thought Dam Han-ul’s fortune-telling seemed similar to that.
For example, out of the numerous possible futures, he just plucks out the future he wants and fixes it…
Well, it’s all just speculation.
How could you figure out such an amazing and great ability that even ordinary superhumans and monsters can’t figure out? It’s awfully curious, but I guess I should just think it’s amazing.
Anyway, even though it probably won’t be known… creating an S-rank so easily like this… is an amazing thing.
Although Dam Han-ul had previously made Cheongso-ha one level stronger, not only perfectly healed Sarame Akame but made her stronger, and made Dokma Wi Ji-young an EX-rank, making a B-rank superhuman into an S-rank in an instant was another matter.
This… Doesn’t this mean there’s a possibility of mass-producing S-ranks as long as there are superhumans of any rank? Maybe even the level of EX-rank, those transcendents…
Well, that might be going too far.
And Hati Eri and Lee Su-yeon didn’t think about it seriously because they weren’t particularly interested.
‘Kekeke… Now I understand why other guys try so hard to give him this and that and make his name spread, even if he himself doesn’t like it!’
Hati Eri thought while chuckling.
Just look at that cat who just ascended to a new S-rank. Hasn’t she transformed into such an amazing strong one that you’d want to fight her right away? If it wasn’t in front of Dam Han-ul right now, and if she wasn’t someone under Dam Han-ul, I would have really fought her.
Hehehe… I’m sure someone with such amazing abilities would want to dig down and go underground, but instead of making it flat, they’d want to turn it into a mountaintop instead of underground.
It must be quite frustrating to think that such amazing abilities would just be buried.
‘They were talking about a mastermind, and I understand well why that came up too…’
You could tell just by looking at the faces of that cat girl who just became S-rank and the sniper next to her.
Their eyes are sparkling with the desire to spread their master’s name, but the master himself doesn’t want any fame at all, so they can’t openly cause trouble and the best they can do is to make rumors spread little by little.
‘Ah, but come to think of it, the mastermind story… It sounds fun?!’
Hati Eri’s eyes sparkled at the thought that suddenly occurred to her as she pondered.
Originally, she wasn’t interested and didn’t think much of it, but now that she thought about it, it seemed incredibly fun.
‘Kya! The rumor’s dead! When I get back to the headquarters, I’ll spread it so that there’s no one in the European underworld who doesn’t know!’
Indeed, it was a battle-maniac-like thought of a my-way hedonist who directly executes without asking or questioning when interested. Unfortunately for Dam Han-ul, Hati Eri was the leader and a big shot of the famous Varg Fang, so she had enough ability to actually make that thought happen.
She had a lot of trouble because of that personality, but it didn’t matter. Because Hati Eri was stronger.
And Dam Han-ul, feeling uneasy somewhere, felt a chill and turned to look at Hati Eri.
“…Hey, you’re not thinking of anything strange, are you?”
“Ehey! Strange thoughts? That’s hurtful, teacher! I’m Hati Eri! Don’t you trust me?!”
“…Tsk, something feels off…?”
Dam Han-ul, who instinctively sensed something was off, unfortunately didn’t think any deeper as he saw Hati Eri’s cheerful appearance, confidently smiling and patting her chest.
‘Is it because I did fortune-telling? I’m not tired though…??’
Dam Han-ul wondered why he suddenly felt this way, but sadly, he who didn’t take it seriously decided to just brush it off.
“Well, putting that aside, are you satisfied now, Black Cat?”
“Satisfied and more! Now I’m not just a normal Black Cat, but an ultra hyper amazing great… blah blah Phantom Thief Black Cat Mark 2!! From now on, call me Ultra Hyper Black Cat, nya!!”
“Haha, if you’re satisfied, that’s good.”
She seems a bit overly satisfied, but well, as long as she’s happy…
The excited mood will settle down over time.
“Anyway, now that we’ve done everything, shall we head back?”
“Head back… Then we need to decide again who will take care of the teacher on the way back, right?!”
“…What! It’s natural that I, who won first, should take care of him until the end!!”
“Stop talking nonsense and come for a single match!!”
“Why are you burning with will over something unnecessary…”
“Unnecessary?!”
For a moment, I was overwhelmed by their spirit. It feels like I’m always being overwhelmed…
Anyway, they immediately had another rock-paper-scissors match…
“Ahssaaaa!!! A cat’s motion vision is the best in the world!!! Nyahahaha!!!”
“…Impossible…!! Me…!! I, the Bullet Shooter…!!!”
“This Hati Eri lost again?! Impossible!!! This is cheating!!!”
And this time Black Cat won… Anyway, like that, this time I was moved again in the humiliating princess carry posture by Black Cat, and we left the dungeon.
‘Why always in this posture…?’
Ugh…! Damn it…
