Plop.
Matsumoto Shigeo fell down on his knees.
a md of an agency – no longer most effective that, a man representing the critiques and positions of every Hunter inside the country called Japan, turned into kneeling in front of every other man or woman.
‘……’
Even on this short moment, endless mind raced via Matsumoto’s brain.
however, irrespective of how difficult he wracked his mind, he couldn’t come up with a way to get out of this catch 22 situation.
This became no longer the time to worry approximately his pride or honour. If any of this got out, then its resulting aftermath wouldn’t give up with him simply dropping his position.
“President Goh Gun-Hui…. Please, forgive me.”
sadly for him, Goh Gun-Hui’s glare remained icy and unmoving.
This man changed into shouting blue homicide whilst there has been no proof of his wrongdoing, however as soon because the situation grew to become disadvantageous, he obediently lowered his tail.
Who’d observe the sort of man with sympathetic eyes?
“stand up.”
Goh Gun-Hui’s icy voice suggested his eastern counterpart to prevent losing time with this hollow apology, however Matsumoto didn’t heed that and slammed his forehead at the office floor repeatedly.
Thud! Thud!!
“Our nation, Japan, has lost half of of her top-ranked Hunters and we will quickly have to beg the international community for their aid.”
no matter how splendid the Hunter gadget in Japan was, they could finally see the gaps in their defences opening up subsequently with half of in their rank S Hunters dead.
Their last fight pressure could be sufficient to deal with rank A Gates in the mean time, however….
but, Japan could must be on their toes the instant a rank S Gate opens up somewhere of their territory. Even worse, the repeat of the tragedy that happened on Jeju Island ought to occur in Japan, too.
“If that sound file gets out, then we’ll be completely isolated from the world. i urge of you, President Goh Gun-Hui. Please, think about the harmless jap residents and forgive our transgressions just this once….!”
“think about it as your due punishment.”
Goh Gun-Hui ruthlessly cut Matsumoto’s phrases there.
“think about it as the punishment for the sin you and your Hunters tried to dedicate and gladly take delivery of it.”
convey round a bomb that would burst off at any given moment, and await the hour of reckoning – that’s what Goh Gun-Hui was implying right here.
but, Matsumoto didn’t display any signal of lifting his head off the ground.
“President Goh Gun-Hui…. until I appease your anger, I shall no longer upward push up again. i urge of you, please, please! recollect it one more time!”
“You leave me without a preference.”
With a displeased expression firmly etched on his face, Goh Gun-Hui pulled out his cellular smartphone.
“you have 5 mins.”
What should he mean by means of that?
not able to win in opposition to his interest, Matsumoto raised his head and seemed up at Goh Gun-Hui. The Korean man slowly waved his smartphone round.
“in case you don’t get out of here inside the subsequent 5 minutes, a message could be sent to the numbers of each reporter stored on this telephone. It’ll be a message approximately the President of the japanese association grovelling before me.”
if you cling onto me in worry of the bomb going off at any 2d, then I’ll just let it go off, proper now – he wasn’t threatening anymore. No, it became a declaration.
“but, that…”
Matsumoto bit his decrease lip.
Goh Gun-Hui’s willpower wasn’t gentle sufficient to be shaken up by nothing however a pitiful plea for leniency. Matsumoto belatedly realised this fact. And this changed into additionally the moment his last-ditch try to save this case on the value of his pride finishing up in total failure.
Powerlessly, Matsumoto stood returned up.
Goh Gun-Hui’s glare remained icy, his smartphone progressively being lowered. He then spoke to the unsteady japanese man.
“You should thank Mister Seong Jin-Woo.”
The light of natural anger flickered dangerously inside Goh Gun-Hui’s beast-like eyes.
“not on the hands of that mutated ant, no, however if my Hunters got harm from the schemes of your humans, then you wouldn’t have walked out of this room alive.”
Matsumoto’s trembling arms packed up his belongings and with out taking a single appearance again, he escaped from the Korean association’s building in a rush. now not one lick of his former satisfaction and self assurance he displayed at some stage in his final visit right here will be seen from his departing back now.
“Fuu….”
in the meantime, Goh Gun-Hui was leaning in opposition to the back of the couch. It felt like any of his pent-up stress turned into cleared away in one shot. Of direction, he wasn’t planning to give up matters here.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to mention that he now held the lifeline of the japanese Hunter affiliation.
‘if you dedicated against the law, you then get punished for it.’
From early on in his life, Goh Gun-Hui changed into taught how to treat his friends and enemies consequently.
It turned into then, his cellular cellphone resting on the desk all at once issued a loud racket.
‘Mm?’
He tapped on the ‘answer’ icon, and an urgent voice got here out from the speaker. Goh Gun-Hui quietly listened to what took place, and his eyes gradually grew wider and wider.
“What?! A Gate formed in the middle of a street??”
no longer best that, it turned into rated to be a rank B Gate that no regular raid team ought to do something about, too!
“where is it positioned?”
The high-quality path of movement for this problem became to touch a prime Guild and have them send over a succesful raid team. however, then….
‘….hold on.’
Having heard the record from the agent on website online, Goh Gun-Hui’s expression became a piece odd.
‘Didn’t Hunter Seong Jin-Woo get an workplace for his Guild around there?’
***
the street abruptly became without a doubt clogged up.
Jin-Woo changed into in deep contemplation as he observed himself caught within the middle of an unmoving sea of visitors.
‘That girl, she really noticed something.’
That girl known as Madam Norma Selner. She ought to’ve confronted infinite effective Hunters, yet she couldn’t even meet his gaze due to the fact she felt a crippling worry of him.
simply what did she ‘see’ in him?
turned into it the traces of his system?
The system would make some ridiculous demands from him sometimes, sure, but it was really now not a horrifying existence.
‘in preference to being scary, that factor’s my greatest best friend.’
but, how would it not appear like in other human beings’s perspectives?
The deputy director requested him lower back then if it changed into fine to get in contact at a later time. The aspect became, though, the lady regaining a few calm at the back of him were given startled again and started out shuddering as quickly as he requested that query.
although Jin-Woo desired to see that lady once more, she’d avoid him of her own volition. Her whole body displayed her unwillingness pretty absolutely. Jin-Woo then got here to a realisation.
perhaps, that woman’s strength didn’t work on him. He changed into very extraordinary from regular Hunters, in any case.
‘well, I bet there’s no need to waste more of my time with the ones folks, then.’
That changed into why he already informed the american deputy director that there wouldn’t be a want and tactfully declined their invite. The frozen-stiff expression of the deputy director became particularly memorable, to say the least.
‘except all that, what is up with this site visitors, man?’
Jin-Woo furrowed his brows at the street beforehand wholly mired in congestion as some distance as his eyes ought to see.
‘that is why taking the subway is a lot more convenient.’
just as he started out questioning if there has been an accident up in advance or some thing….
Vrrrr….
His telephone stuck within the vehicle charger vibrated rather noisily. Jin-Woo checked the identification of the caller.
‘…It’s the affiliation President?’
They saw every different in the funeral venue just a few hours ago, so what enterprise did he have in calling him so quickly? Jin-Woo tapped the ‘solution’ icon.
– “Hunter-nim. It’s Goh Gun-Hui speaking.”
The association President defined the scenario taking area inside the middle of Seoul in a relaxed voice.
“Excuse me? A Gate unfolded within the center of the street?”
He became starting to assume that this visitors jam became a long way too heavy to be normal, however there has been a terrific motive in the back of it, as it grew to become out.
Hoping to turn the van round, Jin-Woo scanned around the automobile. lamentably, there were clearly too many cars tightly packed round him and it became now not possible to move an inch. He helplessly shook his head and lower back his gaze to the the front of the road. It changed into then.
A welcoming piece of information able to washing away the wave of dissatisfaction rising up from the site visitors jam jumped out from his phone.
– “Our agents have evaluated it as a rank B Gate. would you like to attend to it for us, Hunter-nim?”
‘Heot!’
Jin-Woo struggled to suppress the giggles of pleasure this in reality incredible news controlled to awaken. As a matter of reality, he shouldn’t be pleased approximately some thing that become significantly inconveniencing so many citizens like this. sure.
Jin-Woo controlled to straighten his voice and carefully requested.
“I don’t have the raid permit, so am i able to just input like that, sir?”
– “Huhuh. Hunter-nim, who problems the raid lets in?”
“It’s issued by way of the affiliation.”
– “And who am I?”
Jin-Woo suppressed his laughter once more and answered significantly.
“You’re the President of the Hunter’s affiliation.”
– “Huhuhuh. That’s why, don’t fear about anything and please deal with it.”
“nicely, if so, thank you for the me…. No, I imply, thanks for the possibility.”
Jin-Woo clenched his fist.
He climbed out of the van and started taking walks after the hint of the magic electricity leaking out from the Gate. because of the cars packed tightly in all sides, he didn’t even need to park the van elsewhere, too.
“….sure. everybody, the black hollow in the air you see at the back of me is the Gate that has seemed in the city these days…..”
“….in line with my sources, this Gate has been ranked at B, a high-rating Gate that calls for the participation of a huge Guild….”
journalists had already shaped a cordon around the Gate by the point he were given there, and the affiliation personnel, as well as the individuals of the nearby police pressure, have been proscribing the get right of entry to.
‘Hmm…’
Jin-Woo brushed beyond the wall of the reporters and approached the Gate, however then, a lady association employee with a by-the-ebook manner abruptly blocked his direction.
“Please preserve it! What do you suspect you’re doing?!”
She pushed at his chest and spoke loudly.
“you can’t simply barge your manner in here like this!”
Too awful, irrespective of how hard she pushed with her small hands, Jin-Woo didn’t display any signs and symptoms of budging from the spot. most effective then she belatedly realised that the man standing in front of her become a Hunter – and a pretty high-ranking Hunter at that.
“Are you… a Hunter?”
Jin-Woo pulled out his licence and showed it to her. obviously, her eyes grew exquisite massive.
‘A r-r-rank S? Seong Jin-Woo???’
Wasn’t he the equal guy who killed all those ant monsters on Jeju Island….?
sooner or later getting to know of Jin-Woo’s identification, the lady affiliation worker raised her head to take every other appearance.
Jin-Woo appeared lots exceptional from whilst he regarded on television, so despite the fact that she was an association employee, she ended up failing to recognize a rank S Hunter.
but, it changed into also herbal for humans with discerning eyes to exist within the big crowd gathered right here.
“Uh??”
“Isn’t he…?”
“It’s Seong Jin-Woo!”
“I think Seong Jin-Woo came right here to cope with the Gate for my part!”
humans feeling uninterested from being caught right here commenced recognising Jin-Woo, and their complexions brightened significantly. a few humans amongst them with appointments to get to even cried out in elation, too.
but, the lady employee absolutely neglected the reactions of the citizens and confirmed no signs of backing down. She hesitated slightly earlier than asking him.
“What… What brings you here?”
What did she even suggest, what brings him right here?
There could be best one reason why a Hunter chose to face before a Gate, wouldn’t it?
Jin-Woo figured that there has been no need to explain, so he clearly pointed on the Gate past her shoulders. She regarded at the back of her for a second or two, and then, fashioned an expression of natural dedication.
Many Hunters ended up dropping their lives after putting too much faith of their capabilities at the same time as brushing off the set up policies and regulations.
‘It need to be the same tale with a rank S Hunter, proper…?’
The association existed to save you such accidents – this fact were drilled into her head over and over again. Hunters and their protection were the top priority of the association.
in particular while the character in query took place to be an splendid individual ranked ‘S’, her obligation changed into to save you any mishaps from occurring to him no matter what. That’s what she notion, and so, she expressed her belief with a plucky attitude.
“Even in case you’re a rank S Hunter, sir, i can not tolerate any behaviour that ignores right procedures.”
“…”
Jin-Woo become misplaced for phrases and blankly stared at her face. He didn’t count on her to come out like this in any respect.
She thought that she had succeeded in persuading a rank S Hunter, and continued on with her next question.
“Did you got the raid permit?”
Jin-Woo shook his head, which led her to….
“No, wait. Even in case you did achieve the permit, because you haven’t met the minimal required range of crew individuals, you could’t be allowed in.”
The woman employee became impressively unyielding.
Jin-Woo may want to tell from the look in her eyes that she wasn’t doing this out of spite. No, she just appeared to be the type to paste as near the rule of thumb e-book as humanly possible.
Jin-Woo scratched the again of his head. well, there’s no helping it, then.
“preserve on for a sec.”
Jin-Woo without delay called somebody on the phone. After the call linked to the alternative aspect, he driven the cellphone to her.
“right here.”
when the female worker checked out him puzzled, Jin-Woo spoke to her in a clean voice.
“Please, take it. the call’s sincerely for you.”
She maintained her puzzled expression whilst asking him.
“W-who’s it at the smartphone?”
“someone else you could not ‘tolerate’ as well.”
She inadvertently took the phone from him, but when she discovered the call of the decision’s receiver performing on the display, her brows shot up actually excessive.
‘Goh, Goh Gun-Hui?!’
If the person on the line become truely…
“H-hiya….?”
The female employee’s fearful voice became greeted through a deep, heavy voice from the cellphone’s speaker.
– “that is the affiliation President speaking.”
sure enough, it become him.
The girl worker’s eyes trembled incredibly, before she started nodding her head over and over once more.
“sure, yes. No, sir. sure. sure. I shall do as you are saying, sir.”
click on.
She again the cellphone with a crestfallen expression on her face. whilst Jin-Woo walked beyond her, he whispered to her in a hushed tone.
“thanks.”
“Pardon me?”
“For annoying about me.”
“Y-you, you knew….?!”
Jin-Woo hurriedly disappeared into the Gate.
‘Euh….!’
significantly irritated by his antics now, the female employee shuddered from dissatisfaction and she threw… not a curse, however greater like an sad grumble at his departing returned.
‘Father in heaven! Sprain that man’s ankle or something in the dungeon, please!’
but….
Hunter Seong Jin-Woo turned into a person who walked away appropriately from the Jeju Island that turned into completely overrun with rank S monsters.
‘one of these man gained’t have tons trouble inner a rank B dungeon, likely?’
but then, it befell at that second. Screams were rising up from right here and there.
“Uhhh? What’s occurring here??”
“Why is it changing to pink shade?!”
proper after Jin-Woo stepped beyond the Gate, the eerie colour of blood slowly spread over its black surface. It become a purple Gate!! A terrifying event become unfolding right now.
“Ah…..!”
The lady worker felt completely devastated after seeing the crimson Gate seem.
‘changed into it because I prayed for him to get that sprained ankle?!’
Of course, that wasn’t it. but, she couldn’t dispose of the voices in her head telling her that it turned into her fault.
She was taught that the purple Gate, a portal to some other international, turned into one of the maximum dangerous places there has been. She also heard that even the high-ranked Hunters weren’t assured to get out of there alive.
‘it is able to’t be…..’
, her head become full of the photos of the worst case state of affairs, and her complexion paled right away.
‘If, if that Hunter-nim gets injured for real, what then…..?’
simply what number of mins went by way of like this?
She endured to stew in self-guilt, however when she felt a presence close to her, the girl employee tore her gaze far from the asphalt under to appearance up. And located Jin-Woo status earlier than her.
“M-mommy?!”
She were given royally apprehensive out of her wits as though she saw a real ghost simply now. Jin-Woo simply threw a grin at her way and walked right past her.
‘…….’
The face of this feminine employee turned into in a deeper coloration of red than whilst she turned into speaking to the association President in advance.
meanwhile, Jin-Woo searched around for some thing, and sooner or later, made his way over to a motive force of a truck filled with sacks of potatoes.
“Excuse me, ahjussi? am i able to buy a sack from you?”
“Pardon? You wanna purchase a few potatoes?”
Jin-Woo shook his head.
“No, just the sack.”
***
The Vice-master of the tentatively-named ‘Solo Play’ Guild, in addition to its leader recruitment officer, its sole attorney, and even its accountant, Yu Jin-Ho smiled brightly as he noticed Jin-Woo coming into the workplace.
“You came back, hyung-nim!”
“not anything came about even as i was gone, proper?”
“sure, hyung-nim. however, an applicant looking to end up a founding member is…..”
“ok. show me the listing. permit me undergo it as well.”
due to the fact that Yu Jin-Ho changed into urgent him with the identical stuff they’d been speaking approximately in the morning, the child ought to’ve been determined to set up the Guild as quickly as feasible.
fortuitously, Jin-Woo become wondering the same factor.
They only needed one more individual for the spot of the founding member. The minimal of three humans changed into needed to fulfill the requirements to set up a Guild.
‘despite the fact that we’re seeking to fill in the headcount, it’s better to select a person tough-operating and sincere, I assume. It’s no longer like we’ll be seeing every different handiest once, in spite of everything.’
Jin-Woo nodded his head, convinced by way of his personal thoughts. however now that he took a closer appearance, Yu Jin-Ho’s complexion regarded a piece cloudy for some purpose.
“Did something take place?”
“The factor is…. Hyung-nim.”
“Yeah?”
“As you may properly recognise, you need a whole lot of capital in order to establish a Guild. The bidding fees for better ranked Gates all start at astronomical sums, we gotta pay the signing costs to the newly-joining Hunters, and most significantly, the individual applying to become our founding mem….”
Jin-Woo cut him off there.
“is that this enough capital for now?”
Thud.
Jin-Woo located the potato sack he carried into the workplace at the floor.
‘What’s this?’
Yu Jin-Ho’s puzzled gaze peered into the open hole of the sack. And he observed it packed full of high priced magic crystals.
“H-hyung-nim….?! W-what are these?”
Jin-Woo turned into nonchalant in his reply.
“there has been an open Gate on the way to the office, so I made a pit forestall.”
“…..”
He went out simplest more than one hours in the past, but at some point of this sort of brief time frame, he located a excessive-ranking dungeon, cleared it completely, and taken out all the magic crystals discovered within?
“As anticipated of you, you’re splendid, hyung-nim!!”
Yu Jin-Ho stopped thinking about this be counted there. It became ultimately a fruitless endeavour to pigeon-hollow hyung-nim with commonplace feel.
Jin-Woo watched Yu Jin-Ho celebrating the purchase of their seed money with a content material smile, earlier than shifting his gaze over to the conference suite.
“by means of the manner, why is she right here?”
“Pardon? Ahh. i was about to talk to you approximately her a minute ago…. well, someone making use of to come to be a founding member is expecting you, hyung-nim.”
Jin-Woo’s eyes widened.
“An applicant?”
“yes, hyung-nim.”
“who is?”
“The person awaiting you in the conference suite, hyung-nim.”
“That’s what she said?”
“yes, hyung-nim.”
What in the world became this kid even speakme approximately….?
Jin-Woo speedy strode over to the conference suite as soon as Yu Jin-Ho became completed and opened the door huge open.
Clunk.
after which, inside this in most cases-empty conference suite, he located a female sipping on a can of espresso all on my own and in silence turning her head to satisfy his gaze. incidentally, Yu Jin-Ho needed to fast sprint outdoor to get that espresso because they hadn’t even bought right workplace device yet.
“What brings you here, Hunter-nim??”
Jin-Woo requested his guest with a dumbfounded expression on his face.
Then, Cha Hae-In opened her very own mouth, still searching up at him from her sitting position.
“I came to…. be part of your Guild.”
