Jin-Woo became amazed by using the weighty voice coming from the corner of the sanatorium room, and hurriedly grew to become his head to look.
“I apologise if we took you by means of marvel.”
“unluckily, we are not able to wait any longer.”
two guys kitted out in black enterprise suits approached Jin-Woo’s mattress. The youngsters tilted his head and requested them.
“Who…. are you?”
He had by no means visible these two’s faces earlier than.
one of them with the close-cropped hair like a soldier and sporting a pair of sunglasses offered him with a business card.
“that is who we’re.”
Jin-Woo acquired the business card and examine what turned into written on it.
‘Woo Jin-Cheol, the section leader of the monitoring department, the Korean Hunter’s affiliation?’
The tracking department became the only department in the Hunter’s association with many sturdy Hunters of their payroll. well, on the grounds that this branch changed into tasked with coping with the country’s Hunters so, quite glaringly, they could rent many excessive-elegance Hunters to facilitate that purpose.
“What does the tracking division want from me?”
Woo Jin-Cheol dragged a chair in the direction of the mattress and sat down. the other guy, who need to’ve been his subordinate, stood behind him.
The unspoken strain emanating from the two buff men staring down in near location changed into pretty heavy. The tale they conveyed turned into as a substitute surprising, although.
“i used to be subconscious for four days?!”
“by using any chance, do you recall what happened before you blacked out?”
“yes, I do.”
“Please tell us the whole thing you may don’t forget.”
Jin-Woo advised them the whole thing genuinely, minus the abnormal hallucinatory words he heard earlier than he misplaced his consciousness.
“And that’s while you misplaced your attention… Is that each one?”
“sure. I open my eyes next, and that i’m in a hospital.”
Woo Jin-Cheol and his lackey exchanged meaningful glances. For some motive, they seemed to be troubled by way of Jin-Woo’s lack of know-how.
simply, Jin-Woo changed into the only who wanted to discover what happened the maximum in this room.
“simply how did i get to this medical institution? Did a huge Guild participate and kill the ones d*mn matters?”
“properly, surely….”
Woo Jin-Cheol awkwardly opened his mouth.
“by the point the dealers of the tracking division and the White Tiger Guild arrived at the scene after being briefed via the survivors….”
The White Tiger Guild was a excellent-massive Guild and additionally one of the top 5 inside the usa. The association had recognised the hazard, therefore they asked the resource of one of these big Guild because the White Tiger Guild in the first region.
just what did show up returned there?
Jin-Woo nervously swallowed a dry spit.
“by the time….?”
“….the whole lot turned into ‘long gone’. The best element to be found within that open space become you, Mister Seong Jin-Woo. there has been no longer one trace of the god statue nor the stone statues.”
“Come again?!”
Jin-Woo displayed a stunned, disbelieving face.
“It’s tough for us to trust it as nicely. If there were any inconsistencies inside the memories of the survivors, or if we had failed to discover the stays of the sufferers in the chamber, we’d have suspected some thing fishy become occurring.”
Woo Jin-Cheol scratched his chin.
It’d been six years since he were given ranked as an ‘A’ and commenced operating for the monitoring department. He may want to expectantly say that he had witnessed and skilled pretty a lot everything all through his tenure. however, this type of situation turned into a first even for him.
He had requested different Guilds as well as the institutions in other international locations, however the cease end result become not anything worth to talk about.
That turned into why…
“So, that is what we’ve been thinking….”
Woo Jin-Cheol cautiously opened his mouth.
“There were powerful creatures in that chamber, in reality. however, they have been taken care of with the aid of an unknown institution, or an unknown character. due to the fact, no otherworldly beings escaped from the Gate earlier than it became closed, you notice.”
They had to consider all the opportunities. even if the percentages have been low, they had to verify all of them. the pinnacle honchos of the association deliberated, after which deliberated for some extra, and in the end came up with a principle.
Woo Jin-Cheol carefully studied Jin-Woo’s reactions as he continued on.
“We… suspect that Hunter Seong Jin-Woo-nim would possibly have long gone thru some other Awakening.”
some other Awakening!
Jin-Woo’s eyes shot open huge.
although extraordinarily uncommon, there were times of a human who had awoke his or her competencies as a Hunter going through yet another Awakening.
often referred to as ‘Re-Awakening’, folks that undergo this method would typically emerge as extraordinarily powerful compared to before.
at first, as soon as a Hunter’s rank changed into assigned at the beginning, it not often modified. A Hunter’s talents were determined the moment one went through an Awakening, that was why.
but, it became a distinctive tale for those going via the Re-Awakening system.
jumping past their personal boundaries to rise up from, say, rank C to A, or even from B to S, such matters had occurred before.
Woo Jin-Cheol nervously swallowed his saliva.
‘Seong Jin-Woo…. If he went via a Re-Awakening and have become a rank S, no, perhaps even exceeding that, then it’s feasible for him to kill those monsters all by way of himself.’
The god statue turned into stated to have melted rank C Hunters with nothing but its eyes, consistent with the survivors.
If one had been capable of kill this kind of creature even whilst subconscious, simply how powerful one should probably be?
To prepare for this unlikeliest opportunity, Woo Jin-Cheol labelled this incident as ‘pinnacle mystery’ and made sure each person concerned could preserve their mouths shut.
This become additionally the reason why Seong Jin-Woo discovered himself in a health facility room all on my own, in addition to being taken care of via some of the best medical practitioners in the kingdom.
Woo Jin-Cheol’s chest began beating actual fast.
‘ought to Korea sooner or later have a Hunter on the level of an worldwide powerhouse….?’
There had been much less than ten humans within the entire global that could surely be described as a global powerhouse. but, what if Korea were to possess a powerhouse that had been stated to rival a nuclear warhead in terms of natural firepower?
Of route, confirming the reality of the Re-Awakening wasn’t tough in any respect. Didn’t the smart elders once say to make hay even as the solar nevertheless shines?
Woo Jin-Cheol signalled to his lackey.
“bring it here.”
Then, the lackey went to the corner of the room and started out rummaging through a briefcase placed there.
“this is…?”
earlier than Jin-Woo could finish his query, Woo Jin-Cheol explained first.
“It’s the device to measure your magic power.”
He added that, although this tool were miniaturised, its efficiency or accuracy did no longer fall short of the actual e4028a5c6dae3ad5086501ec6f3534d0 measuring device located in the Hunter’s association.
“All you need to do is to region your hand in this magic crystal over right here.”
On pinnacle of a circular plate, there has been a fist-huged magic crystal embedded inside the middle. Its shade was pitch-black, as if it turned into a black hole that desired to suck him in!
It become one of the highest great magic crystals that fee as a good deal as one billion gained, now not to mention that could most effective be determined in monsters ranked A or better. (TL: nearly $900,000)
when Jin-Woo stared at the magic crystal without announcing something, Woo Jin-Cheol fashioned a dignified, severe expression and spoke up.
“this is a essential step during our research, so please, cooperate with us.”
Jin-Woo nodded his head.
If he certainly had undergone a Re-Awakening, then his life could do a 180 in an on the spot. and they were going to check it out for him totally free, so who become he to refuse?
Jin-Woo located his hand on pinnacle of the black crystal and soon sufficient, heat rays of light oozed out from it.
cold sweat drops shaped at the foreheads of Woo Jin-Cheol and his lackey.
*SFX for a beam of light dissipating*
now not too long after then, the mild surrounding the crystal dissipated.
Woo Jin-Cheol hurriedly took off his shades and confirmed the numbers.
proper away, a small earthquake rocked Woo Jin-Cheol’s eyes.
“How can this be?!”
He rechecked the numbers, but it remained the same.
‘How can….’
How could someone preserving a Hunter licence possess the magic strength cost of simplest 10?!
while considering the reality that the bottom common fee for rank E – the bottom rank – turned into round 70 to one hundred, Seong Jin-Woo changed into no one of a kind from a normal individual.
“Is it certainly a Re-Awakening? If it’s miles, what could be my new rank now?”
Jin-Woo’s palms have been soaked within the sweat of anticipation.
Seeing the suspicious reactions of the two tracking department sellers, the end result should’ve been incredibly beyond their expectations.
in the meantime, Woo Jin-Cheol became comparing the prevailing facts on Jin-Woo with the new dimension.
‘His first size again the price of 12. four years later, it’s 10. It has reduced with the aid of 2, but it’s miles in the margin of blunders.’
In different phrases, the magic strength measuring tool was operating exceptional. alternatively, it became Seong Jin-Woo’s magic energy that passed off to be simply illogically, nonsensically low.
It became a miracle that he had survived until now.
Woo Jin-Cheol rapidly realised that being here changed into a waste of time, so he were given up from his seat.
“let’s go.”
“yes, sir.”
Woo Jin-Cheol and his lackey fast packed up to depart.
“Uhm, excuse me. can you inform me what’s….”
simply as Jin-Woo become approximately to invite, Woo Jin-Cheol bowed his head slightly.
“thanks in your cooperation. in case you bear in mind something else, please give us a name every time.”
as if their rear ends have been on hearth, guys-in-black swiftly left the room as soon as they placed away the device.
The sanatorium room that felt as an alternative small all of sudden became quiet and lonely.
“…”
Jin-Woo scratched the again of his neck.
‘I wager that was a no, then.’
nicely, if he idea approximately it, besides him feeling refreshed, there didn’t appear to be any alternate to him at all. although he did undergo a Re-Awakening, it’d nonetheless be hard for him to kill all those statue b*stards, anyhow.
‘perhaps, you might have a threat in opposition to them if you have been either the ultimate weapon, Hunter Choi Jong-In, or the rank SS Hunter Goh Gun-Hui.’
Of path, him speculating like this become meaningless, when you consider that he had in no way visible them in motion before. there has been constantly a thick veil of secrecy draped over the Hunters ranked S.
They had been more like clouds in the sky to him, absolutely.
He notion up to here and inadvertently raised his head up. And that’s whilst he noticed ‘it’.
‘Huh?!’
He looked up without questioning, and then, noticed ‘phrases’ floating within the air.
[You have several unread messages.]
***
“…..?”
He closed his eyes and opened them again.
[You have several unread messages.]
The phrases remained floating up there with out a unmarried alternate. He shook his head tough a few times and even rubbed his eyes, however they have been nonetheless there.
Jin-Woo massaged his aching forehead and reduced his head.
‘It hadn’t been a long term due to the fact I began listening to bizarre matters, however now, I’m even seeing them, too….’
ought to something in his head simply be broken?
there was a circumstance known as PTSD, in the end. folks that experienced a massive coincidence or a stressful occasion usually suffered from this circumstance.
It become only some days in the past when you consider that he witnessed the deaths of many of his comrades, no longer to say he himself nearly died as properly, so it’d no longer be so ordinary to hear or see weird things as a possible side effect.
‘but….’
but, there have been a couple of factors that avoided him from disregarding this out of hand.
Jin-Woo’s sight lowered to his leg – the leg that got cut in half through the guard of the stone statue became now all quality and dandy.
The voice he heard instantly within the underground temple hidden within the depths of the twin dungeon; his absolutely-cured (?) leg; and now, those words floating in the front of his eyes.
Too many weird matters were occurring all at once.
‘What if….?’
there has been a threat that each one this stuff have been not remoted events but linked to one another. while his mind arrived here, his aching head felt just a piece clearer.
‘k, exceptional.’
Jin-Woo slowly raised his head.
as soon as the confusion in his coronary heart died down and he felt calmer, he became pretty curious about the contents of those so-referred to as unread messages. There might be answers to his questions determined within the ones messages, in the end.
a good way to confirm the messages, he reached out towards the phrases.
And his hand truly went beyond them.
‘It’s no longer touch-operated?’
It regarded that he were given way too used to how a phone labored. He couldn’t consider some other manner to get entry to the messages apart from tapping at the ‘icon’, even though.
while he was taking into account at the means to get entry to the messages, he recalled the reminiscences from the moments earlier than he blacked out.
“proper. That passed off.”
lower back then, he may want to only get his intentions throughout to that unknown voice by way of ‘speaking’ to it.
‘just like returned then, I must either form the phrases in my head or talk it out loud.’
thinking that this ought to be the case, Jin-Woo then began to mutter the capability combination of phrases one by one.
“verify.”
“Messages.”
“confirm messages.”
“take a look at messages.”
“reading.”
“I need to read.”
“I need to look.”
“whats up, show me already, will ya?!”
It became then.
“…..just what is it that you wish to see that horrific?”
He felt a chilly, probing stare coming from the facet, so he became his head to look. And, noticed his little sister in her college uniform searching at him from the distance of the half of-open door.
“Uhm…..”
Jin-Woo have become speechless.
Her oppa, busy obvious on the ceiling whilst annoying a person to expose something to him – he absolutely didn’t recognize how to provide an explanation for this one to her.
