Two days after that, we joined a number of B-class hunters at the airport where we were dispatched to the United States.

Yuna Kim was not included in the original 50 hunters requested by the United States, but I brought her in as a member of my team.

A noisy scene.

I looked around at the other hunters, and probably because they were B-class, there were a few faces I had seen on the Internet or TV.

“Oh! Hello, is this your first time seeing me?”

An ordinary-looking man approached the two of us standing at a distance.

I greeted him.

“Hello. My name is Lim Yu-han, and this person here is Kim Yu-na.”

“Okay, it looks like you two are the ones who made it to Class B this time. Don’t just stand there, come this way.”

Guided by a man, I approached a group of people and exchanged names with each other.

Kim Seok-ong, a man in his 70s

Jo Mi-kyung, a woman in her late 40s

Park Seong-ju, an obese person with a protruding stomach

Lee Hwi-jin, who has an ordinary body but looks like he has bulked up

Kang So-yu, just an ordinary girl with glasses

Even Ahn Seong-chan, who brought us here.

They were people you would meet while walking down the street, with a friendlier appearance and impression than you might think.

Kim Yuna and I talked to them about our personal affairs and this overseas deployment.

The useful information obtained in this way was the news that hunters from not only Korea but also India, Mexico, and the EU were dispatched to the U.S. gate.

‘It certainly seems like active hunters have a separate outlet for receiving information.’

“So, this time I bought some land in Pangyo, and there was information that new town construction was underway again…”

“Oh, really?”

The new city gate appeared in 2004 and all plans were canceled, but there was news that it might be reopened.

Certainly, Seoul today is overcrowded with the threat of gates.

As I was listening to the good information, Seongchan Ahn sneakily approached me and asked.

“How about it? Are you having a good time talking?”

“Yes, I was able to hear a lot of good stories.”

“Then, why don’t you join our ‘Free Alliance for Hunters’? There are many better stories.”

My expression turned cold.

I was curious why he approached me, but was he just that political?

Seeing my expression, Ahn Seong-chan hurriedly added.

“Calm down and listen, the current Hunter Association is nothing more than a government agency. We need to unite to regain our hunters’ rights. Just looking at this gate dispatch, the government received 1 billion won per hunter from the United States, but only gave us 20 million won for dispatch fee.”

“Mr. Ahn Seong-chan is right. And, does it make sense for a democratic country to be monitoring hunters in the first place?”

“Also about military conscription…”

They all begin to voice their dissatisfaction with the government.

It sounded quite persuasive.

But something important is missing, and that is skill.

“So how many people are there in that group? What about A-level hunters?”

“Ah… The number of members is close to 1,000. There is no grade A.”

Most of those thousand people were probably low-level hunters.

Besides, would the association turn its nose up at a group of hunters without A-level ranks?

“Sorry. We don’t really have any complaints. I want to focus on my job as a hunter.”

I didn’t want to waste my career and time by joining such an organization.

There is no merit in pretending to be with the government, and I would rather use my own strength.

“Okay… If Lim Yu-han is like that, what about Kim Yu-na? It supports my appearance, so just give me a facial…”

I’m sure I said ‘we’?

This guy?

“Sorry. I don’t really want to go in either.”

After Kim Yuna’s rejection, the atmosphere naturally got worse and I left the group, holding Kim Yuna’s hand.

A rustling sound is heard from behind.

It’s roughly the content of ‘I just suggested it for you…’

I even wondered if he was intentionally getting on my nerves.

Thanks to you, my mood was completely ruined.

“Are you okay? Don’t worry about those guys. It doesn’t even look like a normal group in the first place.”

Yuna Kim saw my expression and comforted me.

“Hehe… It’s okay, it’s okay. You can just retaliate later.”

I remembered this in my mind.

Meanwhile, it was time to leave for the United States, and the association staff guided us.

There was a huge military plane on the runway, and as a peculiarity, a telekinetic curtain was visible on the surface of the plane.

The United States sent a special plane for hunters with built-in telekinesis.

“Oh~ As expected, Cheonjoguk.”

“The association has never provided a private plane like this before.”

“No, the association also sent a private plane to bring in overseas A-class hunters, right?”

The B-class hunters spoke one by one.

The interior of the plane seemed comfortable and up-to-date for military use.

“I spread money, I spread money.”

Hunters are amazed as the outside of some walls are visible through transparent materials made by processing monster by-products.

I couldn’t hold back my admiration this time either.

“America is not dead yet.”

The speed of the plane was also very impressive, as it assisted takeoff through telekinesis and avoided air resistance by pushing out the atmosphere in advance.

The place we arrived on a private plane was Ohio, the 7th most populous state in the United States, located in the eastern part of the country.

The private plane dropped us off right near the gate, and through telekinesis, we were able to take off and land on a place other than the runway.

As I moved near the gate, I looked back at the plane I was on.

” That’s interesting. Did you use a relic? I never thought America’s technology would be this good.”

I felt that the starting point of telekinesis was not from inside the plane, but from the plane itself.

This meant that the airplane itself was like a relic.

‘America can already make artifacts. But why not use it commercially?’

If you make a relic and sell it, it will make a lot of money.

No, just adding superpowers to existing products would be an innovation.

Power suit with added telekinesis

Battery with added lightning power

Orbital elevator with added salt gravity

Even an interpreter with Xenoglossy added.

There are countless things that come to mind, and it may not just be the worry of technology leaks.

‘Is it worth a lot of money to make it? ‘I’m not sure.’

I turned my head and this time looked at the gate.

The very large gate was large from the entrance of the gate and seemed to be 10m in diameter.

“Is this a very large gate?”

Yuna Kim admired from the side.

It was crowded with people, including soldiers, reporters, civilians and government officials who came simply to watch.

In addition, the number of hunters from India, Europe, and Mexico seemed to be roughly a thousand.

“So many hunters are all B-level?”

I was once again amazed by the power of the United States.

It seemed that the United States had no intention of leaving this mega-gate unattended for long.

If it were another country, it would have taken about a hundred people searching for several months to resolve it before the fusion broke out.

South Korean hunters were sent to the 8th holding center.

1 to 5 were the waiting areas for hunters in the United States, 6 to 7 in Europe, 9 in India, and 10 in Mexico.

Perhaps because there are a lot of people, each person is given a tablet to show gate information.

“Floating island terrain?”

“I’m bored.”

” Oh, I’ve been telling the association for hundreds of days that they need to get this guy’s gate information in advance, but they won’t listen.”

“Why does the association receive it? They say they didn’t know it was a gate like this if you don’t have to take it.”

Hunters who checked the gate information could be heard making a fuss.

floating island.

It is a land mixed with special paranormal minerals that float on their own, and it is a terrain where you have to explore islands floating in the air.

It is rarely grouped together and is divided into thousands or tens of thousands of islands that decorate the sky, but of course you have to search for all of them, and there are times when the island cannot survive the aftermath of the battle and is destroyed during the search, so it is one of the terrains that hunters hate the most. .

I realized why America gathered so many B-class hunters.

If you don’t collect it like this, there will be no answer to the strategy, and the gate may explode.

“Why is this situation every time I go overseas?”

I lamented and prepared to enter the floating island gate.

***

It was dark inside the gate, but that was because hundreds of thousands of islands rose high in the sky, blocking the light.

“Plague~”

“The floating island is also very large.”

It’s a shameful situation for the hunters who have to explore the island themselves.

Hunters with certain flying characteristics, flame wind power, and salt gravity used them to climb up to the island in the sky in one go.

Of course, I had a way to climb up as well.

No, in the first place, all 50 hunters from Korea had a way to move up.

“Yuhan… Should I wait here?”

Only Yuna Kim, whom I brought along just in case, had no way to climb onto that floating island.

I thought for a moment and shook my head.

“No, wait outside. Only go to crowded places and never let your guard down.”

I thought the US government would contact me separately, but there was no signal at all.

I felt a bit confused about this situation, but since there was still a lot of time left to attack the gate, I decided to wait and see.

After sending Yuna Kim away, I tried to climb up the island by myself.

First, connect your telekinesis to your body and spread it wide like wings.

In order to generate the lift needed to fly with the human body, the size of the wings must exceed 6 m. Of course, it can be easily replaced with telekinesis by making it wider.

Next, I cover my body with telekinesis and create a streamlined shape.

This is to reduce air resistance.

After all the preparations were completed and I started flapping my telekinetic wings, I realized that this act was not that easy.

“How do you flap your wings?”

Is it simply a quick round trip?

But it wasn’t easy to keep my balance and I almost hit my face on the ground.

In the end, I was able to fly to the island only after watching a video on the Internet showing the flapping of a bird’s wings and receiving tips from senior telekineticians in this field.
