“Will Malik and Sharon follow Hunter Kang’s wishes?”

“What if I don’t comply?”

In response to Brown’s worried voice, Jihoon, who had taken a big bite of steak, responded blandly.

After hearing about the grid-clearing operation using Malik and Sharon, Brown chews on his steak with a puzzled expression.

“I don’t think those clever bitches will act as Hunter Kang said.”

“Malik has already acquired the building through a quick sale? Confirmed. And this is how I received the dollars, and also ordered a large amount of interpretation earphones-”

“No, Hunter Kang…it’s not like that…I’m talking about safety. Malik and Sharon have no reason to sympathize with Hunter Kang, right? Absence of sense of purpose. They only hit Hunter Kang in the back, but I don’t think they will ever cooperate.”

“What do you mean by stabbing me in the back?”

“For example, something like this. Following Hunter Kang’s strategy, we defeated Grid’s leaders. When Hunter Kang goes to check, there are a lot of sad and decent Black Hunters waiting. Powerful black hunters comparable to A-class, or even S-class, gathered in one place-”

“Then I would be very grateful”

“…?”

“I subcontracted it because it was a hassle to look for it one by one, but if you set a trap like that… it gave me the best results as a subcontractor. If you do that, you can kill both of them with a single sword without any regrets.”

Brown was just staring at Jihoon, mesmerized by what he was saying in front of him.

Whether it’s an A-class hunter or an S-class hunter.

Ten or one hundred.

Jihoon says he doesn’t care at all.

I wouldn’t know if someone else had said it, but these were the words that came out of Jihoon’s mouth.

Just how strong of a hunter is Iza?

Brown washes his face dry and focuses on the story again.

Jihoon tells him the most important thing.

“You said Malik and Sheren have no sense of purpose, right? That’s not true. They both have a strong sense of purpose. living. Is there a stronger sense of purpose in humans than that? If you don’t want to die… you two have no choice but to do as I tell you.”

“And what if those two just disappear into hiding? If you hide in a place where no one can find you, won’t you end up just letting go of the two Black Hanters you were able to catch, let alone clearing the grid?”

“Running away? Who are you running from? Do you think that would be possible?”

“……”

Brown was speechless.

There was a plan…

It’s so ridiculous…

It was Jihoon who flew all the way to the other side of the world in an instant, chasing the energy.

Once caught by him, no one could escape anywhere in the world.

Although Brown admired Jihoon once again, he was unable to block the fear rising from deep inside.

How far can this hunter go?

Brown could only feel fortunate that Jihoon was a good person.

“Would you like to get up when you finish eating? Are you going to leave right away like last time? If you are staying even for one night, we will find accommodation for you.”

“Oh, actually… I found a house nearby. I think I’ll come here often…”

“……That too?”

“…Malik…”

Aren’t you a good person?

Isn’t the world in danger not because of Black Hunter but because of this person?

Beads of sweat trickle down Brown’s cheeks.

***

“That’s him”

“Huh? really? Is it really him? It just looks ordinary…”

“Ordinary people freeze to death… Just going to 2 classes out of 11 at once is far from normal. Didn’t you see it during the quarterly evaluation?”

“Because it’s not the same time…I heard rumors, but it’s hard to believe them, and he looks a bit…like an innocent…”

“Sundung? Do you know how crazy he is? Heo-up-”

The girl who makes eye contact with Jihoon gets scared and immediately closes her mouth.

It seemed like they were cadets at the same academy, but Jihoon felt that people who didn’t even know what class they were in were constantly glancing at him.

“What…is it just my mood…why do they seem to be whispering like this today?”

Jihoon was walking towards the lecture room, feeling somewhat uncomfortable as he was being looked at differently than usual.

It was then.

I can hear the sound of frivolous footsteps running from far away.

“Ji~~Hoon~~~Ah~~~”

Yoo Seol-hyeon runs from a very far away, calling Ji-hoon’s name to leave the world, and then quickly flies up and carries him on her back.

“What is this, starting in the morning! Are you crazy?”

“Aang~Jihoon!”

“Why are you falling apart!!”

“Big Number contacted me and said they were proposing a formal alliance agreement with our Stronghold Guild~~!”

“Oh, then you can do it. Fall!”

“When did you go to the US again without my knowledge? Where can I leave my magic pouch!”

Seolhyun, with an expression full of happiness, clings to Jihoon like a piece of gum despite Jihoon’s bruises.

She took over Asung Guild and began to feel the burden of running it.

It was good to oust Representative Hong and weed out a few corruption hunters.

However, she lacked a justification.

There weren’t many guild members who easily accepted and adapted to the joke-like story of buying a guild for 5,000 won.

Of course, thanks to Jihoon who lightly demonstrated his skills against the representative hunters of Asung Guild, there was no major noise.

However, those who doubted Seolhyun’s abilities or qualifications as a representative showed their distrust with their eyes even if they did not say it.

However, at this important moment, an alliance agreement with Big Number was concluded.

Since there was no contact between the existing Asung Guild and Big Number, there was a widespread perception that this alliance was purely the work of the new representative, Yoo Seol-hyeon.

Those who did not recognize her as their representative and were preparing to escape, thinking of the Stronghold Guild as a sinking shipwreck,

Everyone had no choice but to think differently.

Although it was already a stronghold of a large guild,

As the CEO changed, there was room for it to become bigger and more powerful.

It seemed like we could leap beyond Korea and become a global guild.

With the big number, it wasn’t something that came out of nowhere…

“Did you not go to class yesterday and the day before because you were in America? Professor Gong goes on a rampage, saying, ‘Why are you skipping my special lecture because you have so little magical power?’”

Oh right! Professor Gong…

Professor Gong, Ji-hoon’s magic training professor.

His passion for Jihoon was unrivaled.

A strange guy who managed to rise to class 2 with a small amount of magical power.

Teaching Ji-hoon, who was surprisingly unfamiliar with magical power, was Professor Gong’s greatest joy in life these days.

“I’ll take care of you and tell you where it hurts…”

“Who would believe Jihoon if he said you were sick?”

“…That’s right”

There was already no one in classes 1 and 2 who didn’t know about Jihoon.

Jihoon grabs his throbbing head and starts walking again.

Although he seemed to live as he pleased, he hated breaking rules more than anyone else.

Jihoon is more concerned about trivial things like skipping class without notice.

“ And who is that goddess-”

“That’s right, goddess 1st class goddess Yoo Seol-hyeon”

“What? That person is Yoo Seol-hyun? Aren’t you famous for being very arrogant and quiet? They say you can’t trust rumors, but I guess everything except pretty things are rumors. He’s so cute, right?”

“He…he only does that to Kang Ji-hoon. If you approach me and talk to me, are you going to cut me right in the mouth without answering?”

“…He must really have something…”

As voices whispering to him again and eyes filled with strange sights approach him, Jihoon asks Seolhyun.

“What happened at the academy during the two days I was gone? Why do kids keep whispering to me?”

“Isn’t it because it’s cool? Hehe”

“No nonsense… Do you know anything?”

“You know something~ I’m curious?”

“I’m scolded”

sullen

Seolhyun pouted and then quickly told him the reason.

“Did you not see the placards hanging at the front door on your way there? It seems like it’s hanging on every door and wall here and there, right? Oh, there it is too.”

When Jihoon moves his gaze to where Seolhyun is pointing, a ridiculous phrase catches his eye.

[Academy’s first!! Challenge yourself to become a ranker while in school! We hope that Hunter Jihoon Kang will be ranked 1st in Korea, and the Ares Guild is shooting!]

“What is that again!!!”

Ji-hoon yells and takes out his phone to call CEO Lee.

-Kang Hunter!! Please give me all the calls!! I’m touched.

“No, CEO, what is that again!! Where did you hear about rankings?”

-Hahaha, we all have an intelligence team. Ares Guild is not dead yet. Reorganize the entire guild to scout Kang Hunter-

“No, I’m not joining any guild!! I don’t know how to give up like this”

-Don’t do that, ah! A nice car came in this time.

“Don’t drink it!! Please don’t send it to me!”

As Jihoon hangs up the phone and looks around, he clearly realizes that the stares and noises are not due to his mood.

Since I decided to participate in the ranking match, it wasn’t that I didn’t think about dealing with fame, but…

It seemed like the world’s attention was focused on me faster than I thought.
