by adminThe committee chairs did not move.
To be precise, it would have been more accurate to say that he couldn’t move.
This is because their hard brains were unable to understand the situation and froze.
“By what authority do they want to kick us out now!”
Hana, who was the first to wake up, was furious and rolled her eyes.
If civilians leading ordinary lives saw this, they would automatically bow their heads and bend their opinions.
But there was one thing he overlooked. The point was that I, who looked at him calmly before my eyes, was by no means a civilian leading an ordinary life.
‘Aleister isn’t coming forward. Are you going to wait and see how I deal with it?’
Even the surprised guild masters, including Aleister, were now looking at me with interest.
The new vice-president of the association who fearlessly issued an order to congratulate all committee chairs from each country.
It looks like he wants to see the answer as to how I can overcome this difficulty.
“There is nothing to disclose what right it is. This is the World Hunters Association, and I am its Vice President. The only person higher than me in the authority to conduct meetings is the current president of the association, Aleister Crowley.”
As I presented my correct argument without wavering in the slightest, the chairman of the committee, who had been angry, kept his mouth shut.
It’s natural. What I just said was to ask, ‘Are you really a greater person than Aleister Crowley?’
Aleister Crowley.
It’s called lightly, and sometimes dismissed as an annoying name, but… His influence and reputation are not to be ignored.
This is the level of his evaluation based on his experience playing and the knowledge he received from the voice, but it is obvious without even looking at what his evaluation would be like from people who have lived their entire lives in this world.
‘Of course it is.’
The mouths of the committee heads from each country were closed as if they were made of porridge.
A cold silence fell over the conference room, but I paid it no heed and rolled my eyes to check Aleister’s complexion.
The corners of his mouth curled up, and a bright smile appeared at the end of his expression.
Even though Aleister sold his name, he didn’t seem to be paying any attention.
On the contrary, he looked at me as if he was becoming more interested and telling me to try more.
“What are you doing? Get out now.”
In response to my order, the association’s employees eventually hesitated and dragged the committee chairs outside.
Aleister didn’t stop me until the end. Well, if he had intended to stop me, he would have silenced my remarks from the beginning.
When everyone, including the last committee chair, was dragged out of the conference room, the door was locked and a soundproof barrier was placed around the entire room.
‘These are nobles who cannot be ignored in power.’
I considered the possibility that they might hear the contents of the meeting through a leak and do something to embarrass me.
You might think it’s too much to worry about, but this was one of the common revenges in politics.
Regardless of the severity of the matter, it is an act of interfering with the work in order to embarrass an unsavory politician and sway public opinion because the politician’s skills and reputation are poor.
‘Buds that could cause trouble must be cut off in advance.’
Just in case, an additional layer of defensive barrier was installed on the surface of the tightly locked door and soundproof barrier.
Unless the barrier is broken by this, there is no way to go in and out of this room except for space magic.
“Now you can talk comfortably. We’ve put up all the soundproof barriers, so no one will know what we talked about here as long as we keep quiet.”
The silence continued for a while. And after a few seconds, laughter broke out everywhere.
“Khaha! You gave those guys a beating like this!”
“A great talent has joined the association. I wish I could have brought you to our guild.”
“ Well, it seems like a combination of a soundproof barrier and a defensive barrier… I can’t see any gaps.”
The committee chairs took the lead in the meeting, and the table discussions that were just wasting time for others were over.
Perhaps thanks to the fact that we were able to bring our imaginations that were only buried deep within us into reality, the gazes directed towards me by those who remained in the room were filled with strong goodwill.
While there were some people who were amazed at the perfection of my barrier techniques, there were also others who were genuinely jealous of my joining the association.
“Hmm, everyone. I empathize with the joy that frustrating people are gone, but there is still work to be done.”
“Oh, that’s right. You have no shame.”
“The stress that had built up every time we had a meeting was completely relieved.”
The atmosphere, which had become noisy with laughter for a moment, quickly returned to a serious meeting.
Even though there was a happy event, the problem of the Amazon Demonic World was still standing there for a long time.
But the meeting did not last long.
This is not because another problem arose, but because one opinion was adopted with the approval of many people.
“Good. Then, I will go with the plan I proposed: forming a small elite attack force with the best hunters from each guild, and having them attack high-risk dungeons within the Demonic Realm.”
When I recited my opinion one more time for confirmation, everyone nodded in agreement.
Unanimity is hard to come by. Aleister must have thought the meeting was over, too, as he cleared his throat and cleared his throat.
“To a large extent, it looks like the meeting ended smoothly. I am just happy that the new vice president has proven my capabilities so well.”
I expressed my gratitude somewhat hesitantly because it was difficult to accept his speech as pure praise, but others did not.
He shook his head and drew an arc with the corner of his mouth as if what he said was true.
The conversation that followed was about each person’s work, regardless of the topic of the meeting.
At that time, the two most powerful people from a large guild and the Hunter Association had gathered together, so the intention was to end everything that could be discussed at this time.
“Now that I think about it, the president of the association, don’t you have any particular requests to entrust to the guild?”
As the story was being roughly summarized, the topic turned to Aleister, who was quietly observing the situation.
Usually, there are many times when the association discusses various cooperation and compensation plans, but today it was unusually quiet.
But Aleister answered the question with a sly smile.
“Ah, thanks to the recent improvement in the situation, I don’t think outside cooperation is needed now.”
“The situation has improved a lot?”
“Yes. This is thanks to the talented Vice President who has handled various duties since taking office. Hundreds of backlogged missions have already been successfully resolved.”
As expected, as someone who has lived for a long time, his ability to control the atmosphere of the political and social world is unusual.
My evaluation skyrocketed once again as I heard Aleister’s voice naturally push my accomplishments and bring up my name while answering the question.
“Then, let’s select the best personnel from each guild and organize the list. Does anyone have a different opinion?”
“I don’t have one.”
“I don’t have one either.”
“Alumnus below, I think we can proceed as is.”
After confirming that no one disagreed, they concluded by nodding their heads instead of answering.
There is nothing more to talk about now. The meeting ended naturally with everyone standing up one by one.
Kang-!
When I disarmed the soundproof barrier and defense barrier and opened the locked door, the hallway came into clear view.
‘Could it be that you held out at the door until the meeting was over?’
Most of the committee chairs, except for a few, glared at us in the hallway as if they were waiting for us, but no one paid them any attention.
They just nodded to thank them for attending the meeting as a courtesy, and indifferently went about their daily routine.
I could hear their voices shouting loudly from behind… Well, it wasn’t very threatening.
The story has already ended, and the plan will proceed without any time for them to do anything.
‘Anyway, this is my first time in a position like this, so I wasn’t nervous.’
It’s to the point where I look like a different person from when I was in school, when I couldn’t smoothly carry out a presentation and was struggling.
I felt doubtful, but even in the midst of it all, there was something I was wondering about.
Strength stats. Perhaps due to the rapid increase in this stat, I no longer felt agitated or nervous about anything.
“Oh my, are you going back to Eden already?”
“Ah, President of the Association. What’s going on?”
As I was about to leave the association building, Aleister spoke to me, probably looking for me.
When I greeted him lightly and asked him a question first to make it easier to talk, he nodded with a satisfied expression and opened his mouth.
“If the plan proposed by the Vice President is followed, our association will also have to hire people, but unfortunately, I will not be able to cooperate that day.”
“Ah, that part is okay. Because I have a plan in mind.”
“Ho? Did you have a number of people in mind in advance?”
He must have thought that Aleister and I would come forward with all our might for the Association, and a strange look appeared in his eyes, and he looked towards me.
There was no need to ignore those stares, so I just said it out loud.
The personnel composition that had been considered in advance was consistent with the text of the information that Aleister had given me earlier.
“I plan to receive cooperation from first-year cadet Ceria Alfheim and Eden’s vice-chancellor Odd Spatium.”
