And certain sufficient, online journalists have been additionally amongst people who heard of the information.

Goh Gun-Hui additionally stared at the crowd in silence for some time, earlier than he flippantly opened his mouth.
“I’m sure that you’re aware of it by way of now… Our countrymen were thirsting for a victory.”
South Korea became the only kingdom on this planet who misplaced a part of their land to monsters after a catastrophic dungeon ruin came about on Jeju Island four years ago.
many countries outwardly expressed their team spirit but inwardly, they have been mocking the Korean Hunters for their uselessness. by the point the 1/3 subjugation operation led to failure, that sentiment reached its peak.

people learned of the news that the fourth subjugation try could be a joint operation with the japanese. There have been a few sceptical voices mocking the Koreans for his or her incapability to cope with the monsters with out the aid of the japanese. unluckily, that became the actual difficult fact.

“Of course, I’m sure you could additionally fly away the use of your monster.”
Goh Gun-Hui lightly chuckled from the aspect.
“but, I consider which you should cross downstairs in attention of the crowd. due to the fact, the human beings… want a hero, you spot.”

Jin-Woo driven open the glass door and exited from the affiliation constructing. All chaos all of sudden died down proper away.
all of us accrued here kept their mouths closed and quietly stared at Jin-Woo.
“….”
“…..”
Many areas of Jin-Woo’s garments nevertheless sported strains of battles he fought.
There were blotches of ant monster’s bodily liquid, and a few part had been torn open on the fingers of the mutated ant monster, too. however, now not one individual here made a laugh of Jin-Woo’s modern-day appearance.
No, the residents surely stared at him in silence while feeling a positive boiling some thing properly up from deep inside their chests.
Jin-Woo quietly stared returned at them as nicely. simply as the heavy silence descended among him and the residents….
“Hunter-nim, please. This manner.”
Woo Jin-Cheol become now tasked with guiding Jin-Woo, and he faithfully executed his obligation.
The dealers of the monitoring division went in advance and created a direction ahead at the same time as asking the group for their expertise; citizens moved aside without any court cases in any way.
however, there was a sole exception.
A grandpa walked in the front of Jin-Woo whilst there wasn’t that tons distance left to the ready automobile.
“Hunter-nim….”
one of the monitoring division’s marketers attempted to stop the grandpa, but he hesitated relatively after seeing the tear-soaked face of the old man, earlier than he needed to take a step again. because, Jin-Woo held the agent lower back, that’s why.
The grandpa was sooner or later able to stand before Jin-Woo. Thick tears streamed down his face and he known as out to the younger Hunter in a choked-up voice.
“Hunter-nim…. way to you… My son, he can near his eyes and relaxation now.”
The grandpa faltered as strength left his legs. Jin-Woo speedy supported him earlier than he fell.
The grandpa held on to Jin-Woo’s hands and fingers and kept bowing his head again and again once more.
“thank you, Hunter-nim….. in reality, I…..”
“I simplest did what needed to be performed. Please, do try and arise.”
Woo Jin-Cheol helped with helping the grandpa, after which entrusted the still-crying antique man to his subordinate. He leaned in nearer and whispered to Jin-Woo.
“Hunter-nim. the crowd is getting larger. possibly we have to get going….”
“alright.”
Jin-Woo nodded his head. Woo Jin-Cheol opened the auto’s rear door and held it there.
Jin-Woo took one last have a look at the gang earlier than mountain climbing into the auto.
It was unknown who started out it first.
someone inside the crowd quickly lowered his head as quickly as meeting Jin-Woo’s gaze as a sign of a thank you, but then, each person accompanied healthy and did the equal. Greetings filled with actual appreciation came again to him anyplace his eyes swept by way of.
“…..Hunter-nim.”
Woo Jin-Cheol’s annoying voice woke Jin-Woo up and most effective then did he fully climb into the automobile.
Woo Jin-Cheol entered the front passenger’s seat while his subordinate settled into the driving force’s. in the end, the auto drove slowly faraway from the affiliation’s grounds.
with out announcing a word, Jin-Woo gazed out of doors the window.
the group stored searching at the car right up till it could now not be visible.
He leaned returned on the seat and placed his hand on his pounding chest.
Ba-unload, ba-dump, ba-sell off….
His heart was beating rapid because the exquisite experience of feat filled him up.
He to begin with felt at a loss whilst the association President counseled that he must meet with the crowd. but now, he was happy that he didn’t simply stroll past them.
It felt like each single gaze he met have been his reward for a task nicely done.
It become then….
“Ah!”
Woo Jin-Cheol hurriedly appeared behind him after Jin-Woo inadvertently cried out.
“Did something appear, Hunter-nim??”
“….No, it’s not anything important.”
Jin-Woo remembered best now that he broke the television without a proof, in order that he may want to lessen the surprise his mother would possibly sense. He helplessly massaged his forehead.
‘simply how am I imagined to give an explanation for all this?’
positive enough….
He switched his smartphone lower back directly to discover 13 neglected calls from home.
***
It turned into pandemonium in on line boards, too. however, that was to be predicted.
The Jeju Island subjugation raid turned into the first actual time Jin-Woo made his public appearance, ever in view that getting his rank S licence. It turned into the identical thing as him making his public debut.
And during his first public look, he beaten the mutated monster ant that freaked out each person, and then, swept away thousands of ants blocking off the get away direction together with his summoned creatures.
like the excited fans pouring out into the streets after a fit, people who witnessed the raid broadcast all logged online to voice their critiques.
└ Wow…. I’m speechless….
└ however, I thought that you can’t name out that many summoned creatures?
└ My ten-year-old tumour got cured from looking the attack of Seong Jin-Woo Hunter-nim’s summoned creatures.
└ via the way, mister? That tumour should’ve been a minor one because you had it for handiest ten years.
└ It became so cool. It became the fine.
└ I lost my mother and father four years ago on Jeju Island. I recognise that Seong Jin-Woo Hunter-nim gained’t read this, but….
The operation managed to seize the interest of all South Korean residents. It turned into no wonder that various on-line boards have been overflowing with the stories associated with the raid. And Jin-Woo’s name always cropped up in those discussions.
additionally, a warm debate concerning how excessive Jin-Woo’s abilities need to be rated unfolded among the netizens famed for his or her love of comparisons.

└ Eiii. With only that? You ought to restriction your intake of Kimchi soup per day. (TL: a Korean idiom, “drinking Kimchi soup”. way you’re putting the cart before the horse.)
└ however, why no longer? He nearly solo cleared a rank S dungeon, and the distance among him and different rank S Hunters is pretty tremendous, you realize?
└ Hunter Seong Jin-Woo’s file isn’t considerable enough. If his skills are for actual, then humans will acknowledge him finally.
└ anyhow, guy, he become so freaking incredible.
└ A rank E is handiest a chunk higher than a regular individual, so how can someone like that become so robust?
└ Is Hunter Seong Jin-Woo a Re-wakened?
└ plenty of human beings don’t appear to recognize that Seong Jin-Woo is a Re-wakened. He implemented to have his private facts covered right away, so…..
Of path, there were a few people amongst many who felt robust uncomfortable about Jin-Woo, as nicely.
└ however, hold up…. If Seong Jin-Woo participated inside the raid from the get-pass, Min Byung-Gu wouldn’t have died, right?
└ He desired to be ignored in the starting, so why did he display up within the middle?
└ looks like guys above mine haven’t visible the object put up by way of the association explaining themselves yet.

even though he turned into ranked S, Jin-Woo lacked enjoy in entering high-ranked dungeons. therefore, the association selected to maintain him in reserve close by in case of an emergency, in place of making him be part of the raid team from the start. as soon as the situation became dire, they decided to insert him right away.
It changed into a rapidly-cooked up tale, but it proved to be enough to persuade the loads.

Goh Gun-Hui’s quick reaction turned into able to prevent the pointy arrows of criticism from pointing at Jin-Woo, at the same time as additionally coping with to maintain the latter’s non-public affairs out of public limelight.
thanks to that, some people denounced the incapability of the affiliation to properly gauge the abilties in their very own Hunters, however nobody pointed the fingers of blame in Jin-Woo’s route.
No, Jin-Woo’s acclaim handiest rose even similarly inside the eyes of the general public.
The scenario changed into at its worst factor, with the japanese team tasked with buying time having withdrawn from the island and the Korean team dealing with certain annihilation. but, he didn’t whinge as soon as and jumped into the ant tunnel all on my own.
└ I wouldn’t have been able to move in there, despite the fact that a person driven me from the back, ‘cuz I’d get scared sh*tless. other rank S Hunters were getting massacred in there, so why need to I?
└ Agreed.
└ What did he think about whilst he entered there?
└ Shouldn’t Seong Jin-Woo be the genuine role model of all the Hunters available?
└ Shouldn’t the ones idiots slagging off Seong Jin-Woo for not taking part beg for his forgiveness right about now?
└ LOLOLOL That’s why you shouldn’t yap on like that when you don’t recognize some thing.
Jin-Woo became rapid turning into the most famous Hunter in South Korea, tons to his fluster. despite the fact that he had asked for the protection of his personal facts early on, his repute persisted to bounce better.
***
days later.
army employees and Hunters landed on Jeju Island to recover the remains of Hunter Min Byung-Gu.
They were from the Yeongnam District’s Guild, the ‘Knight Order’. although they had been one of the 5 large Guilds representing South Korea, they lacked a rank S Hunter of their midst and consequently, couldn’t participate in the raid.
They sensed their recognition diminishing from this occasion, and volunteered for this challenge. way to that, the subjects had stepped forward as a substitute unexpectedly.
Hunters needed to take the lead after seeing the specially-trained squaddies hesitating really.
“Oii, forestall it and come on, already.”
“I’m telling you, there isn’t a unmarried detectable magical energy on this island. Argh, you men are far too distrusting.”
Hunters taking walks ahead some distance up ahead waved on the squaddies. The hesitant soldiers cautiously followed from behind, but they nonetheless saved their guards up.
From the Hunters’ angle, that positive became one frustrating sight to see, however there was no helping it. ordinary people couldn’t experience magical strength, nor have been they able to fight towards the monsters. So they might most effective be overly cautious like that.
“Tsk, tsk.”
The Guild master of the Knight Order tutted unhappily, and positioned his palms on his waist whilst scanning his surroundings.
‘Huh….’
His jaw dropped all on its very own.
The closer they got to the area of the ant tunnel, the greater the number of dead ants strewn about on the floor.
Nay, they resembled small mountains now, rather.

“…..”
The Knight Order Guild additionally took element back at some stage in the third subjugation operation at the side of countless different Hunters. That’s why they knew higher than every body here how scary those creatures could be.
“To think that those ants ended up in this sorry nation….”
“Wow…. that kid, Seong Jin-Woo or whatever his call was, he’s no everyday man, that’s for positive.”
The Vice Guild grasp continued to go searching at his environment and spoke even as sounding a piece fed up.
“How did he even manage to wipe out every single ant in this big island??”
“i wonder about that myself.”
The elite members of the Knight Order, quite properly versed in all matters monster-associated, ought to simplest gawk in astonishment at the piles upon piles of dead monsters.
ultimately, even though, their astonished steps added them to the entrance of the ant tunnel.
“Hyung-nim, i can see it.”
“Yup, me too.”
Hunters came to a prevent in the front of the ant tunnel so they may input it collectively with the squaddies. The latter institution become still a bit of distance away. on account that there wasn’t tons to do during the wait, the Guild grasp lit up a cigarette. The Vice Guild master also lit one up for himself.
but then….
The Guild master furrowed his brows after because lit cigarette powerlessly fall from the Vice’s lips.
“Oii. What’s the matter?”
“H-hyung-nim!!”
The Vice Guild grasp urgently slapped the grasp’s shoulder as he pointed to the front. The latter eventually realised that some thing became off and quickly turned his head to the the front.
“Heok!!”
A wonderful shadow of a man appeared within the front of the tunnel.
The extensive-eyed Guild master flinched in wonder, before commencing his mouth up to speak.
“Y-you, who… are you?”
