Jin-Woo didn’t mainly mind the gazes of different people, except he turned into speakme about a few unique circumstances. as long as no person bothered him, it didn’t depend to him if he got well-known, both.
That’s why he didn’t sincerely care when the mourners discovered his presence and commenced whispering among themselves.
however….
‘not less than, you all have to realize that now isn’t the time nor the place.’
Jin-Woo furrowed his brows unhappily.
Wasn’t this the location to take into account and honour the valiant sacrifice of Hunter Min Byung-Gu?
Jin-Woo didn’t want this solemn occasion to fall into a few noisy chaos because of him, so he in short unleashed a part of his magic energy – no, no longer even that, but an amount so tiny that it didn’t even qualify to be known as a element.
‘…..!!’
The favored impact passed off right away. The air became incomparably heavier and oppressive silence descended to the vicinity. Even the breathing of the mourners have become incredibly careful.
“….”
“….”
All those human beings noisily yapping to each other directly close their mouths up at once.
‘o.k..’
Jin-Woo succeeded in growing an acceptable surroundings with nothing however a quiet display of power earlier than he started walking ahead once more. He didn’t get to walk for lengthy, even though, as a center-elderly girl, who was too younger to be referred to as a granny however too old to be known as an auntie, stood earlier than him.
She was none other than Hunter Min Byung-Gu’s mother.
humans began gasping softly as they looked on at the mother and Jin-Woo status in an obvious face-off like that.
‘Uh, uh?’
‘Wait, she isn’t going to scold him and chase him away, right?’
luckily, the final results people had been involved about didn’t come to bypass. The why of it was simple sufficient.
“You’ve arrived. thanks for coming.”
“thanks for inviting me, ma’am.”
It become absolutely Hunter Min-Byung-Gu’s mom who pleaded with him to come back through here these days.
“there has been something I’d like to speak to you in man or woman and that’s why I had to make that call. i am hoping I wasn’t troubling you.”
“No, by no means, ma’am.”
“Hunter-nim, I heard you acquire rid of all of the monsters in that region so that my son should come domestic.”
Min Byung-Gu’s mother stopped there and gazed up at Jin-Woo, possibly wanting to confirm the tale she was advised straight from the person himself.
‘……’
Jin-Woo had numerous personal reasons for searching down the ants of Jeju Island. however, it turned into additionally authentic that a part of him didn’t want to see Hunter Min Byung-Gu rot away forgotten somewhere in the darkness of that ant tunnel. So, Jin-Woo quietly nodded his head.
“yes, ma’am.”
“You helped my son so he received’t sleep in that darkish, damp place. I….”
Min Byung-Gu’s mom subsequently started out shedding the tears she’d been maintaining and endured on.
“i used to be to able to meet my son for the closing time with your assist. thanks very tons, Seong Jin-Woo Hunter-nim.”
There have been no phrases that could console a parent grieving for her misplaced child. Jin-Woo should best stay silent with an agonised look on his face. within the interim, the family of Min Byung-Gu’s mom got here over and thoroughly escorted her away deeper into the funeral venue.
Even then, whilst she turned into getting further far from him, she in no way stopped bowing to him to explicit her gratitude.
‘……’
For a moment there, the face of Min Byung-Gu’s mother overlapped with that of his personal mother’s from ten years in the past in Jin-Woo’s eyes, lower back when she heard the news of his father going missing within the Gate.
A thick lump shaped in his throat.
‘but….’
much like how his father sacrificed his life to store a endless quantity of his colleagues, Hunter Min Byung-Gu’s sacrifice wasn’t in useless.
with out his devoted attempt to heal his comrades, it’d had been absolutely hard for the Korean Hunters to stroll out of the ant tunnel alive. not simplest that, he used his powers to save the lifestyles of one extra Hunter even in dying.
Min Byung-Gu’s shadow clearly felt relieved after it showed the coloration of life regularly seep returned into Hunter Cha Hae-In’s complexion. From that on my own, Jin-Woo should experience how an awful lot the Healer cared for his comrades.
Coincidentally, Jin-Woo noticed Cha Hae-In inside the distance as he quietly approached the black-and-white portrait of the deceased to lay down the flowers. but while their gazes met, she unexpectedly flinched and fell into a panicked nation.
‘Did they come collectively?’
The participants of the Korean crew around her sent him a silent greeting with a slight nod of their heads, but Cha Hae-In seemed as if she had no clue which expression she become supposed to make right now.
‘Huh, in order that woman can make a face like that, too?’
He couldn’t don’t forget every other times while she didn’t convey that expressionless face of hers. certainly, one should get to recognise any individual for an extended time before passing judgement, that’s for certain.
Jin-Woo shifted his gaze away and stood earlier than the portrait.
Hunter Min Byung-Gu in the black image frame was smiling brightly with out a care in the global. Jin-Woo positioned the flower in front of the portrait and closed his eyes for a quick moment.
‘i hope you locate yourself in a better vicinity.’
finishing up with the prayer for the departed, he turned around to look a acquainted discern approach him from the space.
“Seong Jin-Woo Hunter-nim.”
The low, bassy voice certainly belonged to the affiliation President, Goh Gun-Hui.
“Sir.”
“i used to be in reality planning to give you a call later, however it’s exact that we’ve got run into each different here.”
“You wanted to see me?”
It changed into quite apparent why the association could search for a Hunter. thinking that he might locate himself with an opportunity to raise his stage, Jin-Woo gazed at Goh Gun-Hui with anticipation, but regretfully, the association President lightly laughed and shook his head.
“It’s no longer what you’re thinking about, Hunter-nim.”
“….Oh. I see.”
How deflating, that.
Jin-Woo ought to simplest ruefully smack his lips.
“anyways, I’d like to talk to you for a moment or two. Will that be satisfactory with you?”
Jin-Woo was making plans to stop by way of the association after leaving right here to clear up his Guild master licence problem besides, so he stated sure immediately.
“i have business in the affiliation, so why don’t we cross and speak there?”
“you have commercial enterprise inside the association….? may additionally I inquire what that is?”
“Oh, actually, I want a Guild master licence, you see.”
“Pardon?”
A query mark floated up above Goh Gun-Hui’s head.
“Why do you want the Guild master licence whilst you already possess a rank S licence?”
“Wait, does that imply a rank S can set up a Guild with out a licence?”
“Of course.”
Goh Gun-Hui fashioned an awesome-natured smile and endured on.
“if you wish to form your own Guild, all you have to do is to give the affiliation a call. We’ll contend with the relaxation.”
“…..”
The rank ‘S’ become a realm he in no way expected to step into half of a year ago. So, it wasn’t unexpected to see Jin-Woo greatly underestimate all of the cool blessings this rank came with.
He turned into inwardly flustered after mastering of some thing he didn’t know until now, however…
‘however, that is in reality for the better, isn’t it. permit’s find out extra approximately all the blessings a rank S Hunter enjoys even as I’m at it.’
also, due to the fact that he may want to at once get in touch with the association President Goh Gun-Hui, he is probably capable of establish his Guild right away as long as he met the minimal requirements.
turned into this the reason why the antique pronouncing went on approximately finding the right backer in case you wanted to succeed in existence?
the majority could never get to meet the President of the Hunter’s affiliation in their lifetime, but this kind of guy had already end up a reliable backer for Jin-Woo.
Goh Gun-Hui persevered on.
“What I’d like to speak to you approximately won’t take lengthy, so we don’t should trade the venue.”
Jin-Woo nodded his head, leading Goh Gun-Hui to speedy ask him a query.
“by way of any risk, have you ever cast a few kind of a barrier spell over Jeju Island?”
“What do you mean?”
where turned into this barrier magic thingy coming from, all of a unexpected?
Did something happen in Jeju Island after he killed every ant there and left for domestic?
Goh Gun-Hui calmly explained what had took place.
“in the course of the operation to retrieve Hunter Min-Byung-Gu’s remains, there was an incident of the army personnel and the accompanying Hunters losing their attention in the equal vicinity. Hmm, as opposed to losing cognizance, it’d be more appropriate to mention that that they had all fallen asleep, instead.”
absolutely everyone inside the equal place… all fell asleep? Jin-Woo could most effective tilt his head slightly.
‘sounds like an AOE odd repute magic, doesn’t it?’
….It sounded just like the thunder magic of the Demon King Baran that inflicted ‘Stun’ impact to all of the Shadow squaddies caught in the assault range.
but, the hassle lay with the reality that the oldsters gift throughout that incident weren’t your common Hunters.
“I notion the elite individuals of the Knight Order were requested to go to Jeju Island?”
Jin-Woo’s query elicited a nod from Goh Gun-Hui.
“They have been either Hunters within the top of the rank A pile, or rank Bs who are very near rank A in phrases in their talents.”
with a purpose to put now not just one, but several dozens of such human beings to sleep suddenly – a normal rank S Mage wouldn’t even dare to attempt performing a spell of that significance.
“That’s why I needed to ask you about it, just in case. i used to be hoping that perhaps you solid a barrier there however forgot to inform us about it.”
right here become the stable proof that both Hunter’s affiliation and its boss, Goh Gun-Hui, rated Jin-Woo’s abilities exceptionally high.
lamentably for them, Jin-Woo’s speciality didn’t lay in casting debuff or odd fame magic. And, possibly greater importantly, there has been just no manner that he’d overlook about activating any such magic spell within the first location.
Jin-Woo promptly shook his head.
“I’m sorry. I haven’t achieved that.”
“I see…. I wager so.”
strains of worry slowly entered Goh Gun-Hui’s expression. The most positive clarification he ought to think about became out to be extensive off the mark ultimately.
“What did the Hunters say, sir?”
“this is….”
Goh Gun-Hui shaped a bothered face of a person finding it hard to explain something, earlier than continuing on his explanations with some problem.
“not handiest the infantrymen, however even the Hunters can’t keep in mind anything that occurred before they misplaced their focus.”
His voice sounded even extra dispirited subsequent.
“truely, we can’t even discern out whether they have been sufferers of a magic spell or now not inside the first region.”
“…”
If it have been simply the soldiers, who have been honestly ordinary people, it’d be possible to knock them out with something like the snoozing fuel, but even the rank A Hunters and their first rate physical competencies fell sufferer as nicely. So, it couldn’t have been a traditional weapon of some kind.
‘ought to it were a trap left behind by using the ants?’
Jin-Woo changed into absolutely tempted to summon out Beru right now and ask him about it, however….
‘…..’
If he did that, this funeral venue might morph right into a blood-splattered battlefield right away in any respect. The thing was, Jin-Woo may want to see some dozen excessive-ranked Hunters around here just from a brief headcount.
Of direction, he wasn’t involved approximately Beru in any respect. Nope, he become only worried approximately the Hunters rashly seeking to pick a combat with the previous ant monster.
It was then.
A young man who ought to’ve been an affiliation worker approached them in moved quickly steps and whispered some thing to Goh Gun-Hui’s ear. The association President formed a rueful expression as he spoke to Jin-Woo.
“A visitor has arrived sooner than anticipated, and alas, I need to be on my manner now. thanks for your time.”
“You too, sir.”
After sharing short goodbyes, Goh Gun-Hui hurriedly left the venue and disappeared from the view at the side of that unnamed worker.
Now that he not had any reason to go to the affiliation, Jin-Woo figured that he may as nicely pass home, alternatively. He too left the venue and commenced on foot closer to the region of the parked van.
but, then….
‘What’s this?’
He appeared to have picked up a rather confusing ‘tail’ considering from a brief while in the past. Jin-Woo tilted his head in confusion.
‘Aren’t you speculated to do your pleasant no longer to get discovered whilst tailing a person?’
now not simplest that, any ol’ everyday parents wouldn’t even dare to dream approximately tailing a rank S Hunter, too.
Step, step….
given that he couldn’t listen the roll of a digital camera, the person following him didn’t seem to be a reporter. Heck, this individual wasn’t even seeking to masks his presence, both.
Getting curious approximately how lengthy the tail could follow him, in addition to what would this character do after catching as much as him, Jin-Woo chose to maintain strolling over to the van with out saying a word.
And certain enough, the tail diligently observed after him.
‘Huh. properly, I’ll be….’
Jin-Woo become getting increasingly dumbfounded right here. He even realised for the primary time that he didn’t need to deal severely with someone who was this unprofessional at what he became alleged to do.
however….
simply as Jin-Woo become about to grab the door cope with of his van, he heard a voice calling out to him from in the back of.
“Are you Mister Seong Jin-Woo?”
Jin-Woo smirked slightly and became around whilst thinking to himself, ‘well, you’ve eventually revealed your proper colorations, haven’t you.’
“yes, i’m.”
however then, Jin-Woo changed into momentarily taken aback after confirming the face of his opponent.
‘He’s a foreigner?’
That man’s Korean become so ideal that Jin-Woo didn’t expect him to be a Westerner in any respect. in the meantime, the younger Westerner, wearing a business fit so slick that it bordered on being a fashion statement, shaped a grin as vivid as his golden hair colour.
“this is who i’m.”
the person pulled out a business card and provided it to Jin-Woo. His call, the business enterprise he labored for, in addition to his contact numbers, have been all published in large, legible letters on the card.
[Senior Agent Adam White, Hunter Bureau, the United States of America]
‘Hunter Bureau??’
What did an elite agent from the most effective business enterprise in the US need from him now?
‘No. There’s best one purpose why the Hunter Bureau could need to speak to a Hunter.’
Jin-Woo tore his eyes far from the cardboard and regarded instantly at the agent, prompting the yankee to introduce himself with a sunny smile.
“It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Seong Jin-Woo Hunter-nim. Please call me Adam any more.”
