“Wow Jihoon, it’s my first time riding a private plane…”

“Wow…”

Sojung and Seolhyun’s mouths are wide open.

After returning to the academy, the three people received a call from the president of the association that the private plane arrangement had been completed, and left with only simple luggage.

I was chatting with the president of the association who came to meet me before boarding the private plane.

“You prepared it really quickly?”

“Because Hanoi is in an urgent situation. Damage in Singapore is increasing exponentially. Any hunter from the Asian Hunter Alliance can visit immediately without a visa.”

“Oh…that’s right, I forgot and didn’t bring my passport, so there shouldn’t be a problem.”

“That’s right, Hunter Kang, in Singapore right now… in fact, there are no people entering the country, only people trying to get out. This is not the time to separate hot and cold water.”

“Is the airport okay? Will you be able to land the plane well?”

“Fortunately, the monsters do not seem to have reached the area near Singapore International Airport yet. So many war correspondents from around the world were able to enter the country safely. Hunter Kang…”

Association President Jang Dae-han’s expression begins to become more serious.

“The whole world is watching. It’s shameless, but… I hope you do a lot of work. This is an opportunity to restore Korea’s shattered pride in the international hunter community.”

“Hmm… So, you’re saying you’re going to use me to save the country’s image that has been tarnished due to the shitty domestic situation?”

“Ah! Ah… that’s absolutely not the case… ah… I made a mistake. When I have to tell you to come back safely without getting hurt… I am this shameless… Hunter Kang…”

“Haha, it’s a joke. It’s not like I’m going sightseeing, of course I have to do my best and come back.”

Jihoon smiled lightly, but the president of the association couldn’t help but feel a chill running down his spine.

The person who instantly robbed Sword Master Jang Hyeon-woo of the top ranking that he had held for over 10 years.

An unknown hunter full of unexpectedness whose actions or statements are unpredictable.

The president of the association realized time and time again that no matter how much time he spent with Jihoon, he could not control him according to his will and wishes.

He was a maverick who always did whatever he wanted.

The reason he granted this request was purely because of his feelings. I guess that was all.

But there was no doubt about his ability.

A country that does not possess S-class hunters.

The status of Korea, which had always been ignored and looked down upon, would change with this one-time deployment of troops.

‘Dispatch of troops’

It was a very inappropriate word to use while putting three academy cadets on a plane.

“Now…you three, please take this.”

“Oh, it’s been a while since this”

“Hunter Kang, you know as expected.”

“Aren’t these interpreter earphones?”

“Yes, that’s right. These are earphones that instantly interpret most languages, including English, Chinese, and Japanese. We have prepared this to ensure that there is no disruption to collaboration with foreign hunters.”

“Hmm…it’s a collaboration…well, let’s take it for now. Then”

The president of the association, who was handing interpretation earphones to Jihoon, Sojeong, and Seolhyun, flinched at the dizzying thought that came to his mind.

“Now…wait…ho…if you don’t need interpretation earphones-”

“No, I think it’s necessary. Please.”

Jihoon grabs the interpretation earphones and shares them with Sojung and Seolhyun.

Looking at Jihoon like that, the association president’s complexion was gradually darkening.

‘I made a mistake…’

It was like that.

The president of the association thought of this.

This is the consistent action Jihoon takes when he meets someone who is rude to him.

Singapore is already crowded with hunters from other countries.

Their gaze towards Jihoon and his team, who joined the Korean team late, could never have been the same.

In the first place, when it came to hunter combat power, they had ignored Korea for a long time, especially so…

If we could not communicate, it would have been an opportunity to reduce the likelihood of pointless fights.

The president of the association remembered that fact too late.

“… Hunter Kang… As it happens, unnecessary fights with foreign hunters can escalate into international disputes-”

“Oh, why are you so worried? I heard it’s urgent at 1 o’clock, so I’ll leave. Han So-jeong! Yoo Seolhyun! Let’s go quickly. Get on it quickly”

As he watched the three people boarding the private plane, Association President Jang Dae-han folded his hands together.

‘Please…please don’t fight with kids from other countries, please…’

Even as he watched the three men dispatching troops, the president of the association was more concerned about an international conflict that had not yet occurred than about their safety.

okay,

It’s obvious that that ruthless bastard will come back unscathed.

Worrying about Jihoon was just a luxury.

***

Unlike its rather luxurious interior, the private plane was a model with military specifications.

Jihoon, Sojung, and Seolhyun were safely transported to Singapore at a much faster speed than a regular airplane.

“-Yes, please go back alone.”

“Oh…no. Since you didn’t bring your passport, if I don’t wait and take you back, you may have problems leaving the country.”

“No, you can go back on your own, so don’t worry.”

It was Ji-hoon sending back the captain who had been recruited.

When I first came to Singapore, I had to take a plane.

There was no need to waste time when returning to Korea.

The captain, who didn’t know Jihoon’s abilities, went back alone with a very embarrassed expression on his face, and only then were the three able to look around the airport.

“Wow…Jihoon-ang, this is my first time in Singapore. Have you been there?”

“It’s my first time too, of course”

Until a few months ago in this world, Jihoon was not a person living a life where he could dream of things like traveling abroad.

Since middle school and high school, when I was working part-time jobs.

Until the time when we had to make a living relying on the meager subsidies from the academy…

Jihoon, who arrived in Singapore on a private plane, was once again feeling a sense of unprecedented times.

Singapore’s international airport seemed to be quite outside the influence of Gatebreak.

There was a tense and heavy atmosphere, but

I didn’t hear any broken buildings or people screaming.

This is because restaurants and other general stores were operating normally.

They were three people who had to rent a car to get to the center where the gate break occurred.

Thanks to the interpreter earphones, there were no restrictions on communication with local people.

“Do you want to rent a car?”

“Yes. Please do everything right away.”

“May I ask your destination?”

“We are planning to go to the center of the gate break.”

“Wow! Ho…are you a hunter by any chance?”

“Yes, I am a hunter who applied from Korea.”

“Huh!”

The rental company guide, who appeared to be a local, began to shed tears as soon as he heard Jihoon say he was a hunter.

It seems that Singapore’s current situation is more serious than expected.

“…thank you…for coming to this dangerous place for us…”

“Ah…no, what…”

Jihoon and his group couldn’t help but feel embarrassed because the guide suddenly burst into tears.

“This is a disappointing situation for each and every hunter. Well…but…”

The guide, who was shedding tears, soon began to look embarrassed.

“In fact, because the national system is not operating normally, our company does not currently have any vehicles that can be operated. It was natural that the cars we had already rented would not be returned, and we were already bankrupt.”

“Yes? You don’t have a car right now? So… can you call a taxi or something?”

“There will be no other vehicles on the road except military trucks operated by the government.”

“Ha…”

“Has the Korean government requested anything from the Singapore government?”

“Ha… This guy, the president of the association, is really bad at handling things. I asked him to compliment me on how quickly I arranged the private plane… but anyway”

Jihoon touched his forehead and began to think about how to beat up the president of the association.

“Ah! excuse me! There is a military bus chartered by hunters who came from China for additional support,”

“Oh? Where is it?”

“Over there”

Following the guide’s explanation, Jihoon and his group moved to the back of the airport and discovered a group of heavily armed Chinese hunters boarding a military bus.

“Hey, let’s go together!”

At Jihoon’s shout, the Chinese hunters who were boarding the bus stop for a moment to greet Jihoon and his group.

“Are you a Chinese hunter? We are hunters from Korea. Are you moving to the center of the gatebreak? It’s a bit difficult for us to get transportation. Can you help us?”

“Korea?”

“…?”

One of the heavily armed hunters does not get on the bus, but sticks his head inside and shouts loudly.

“Hey guys! Korean hunters came out to support me and asked me to go for a ride together?”

“What? Puhahaha”

“Really? Is it real? Kikikick”

Loud laughter was heard inside the bus, and then the windows opened and Chinese hunters were seen sticking their heads out.

“Where…Where are you, Korean Hunter?”

“Those three people? Puheung…is this really true?”

“They look like kids? When I asked why Korea was sending hunters, they said they were sending kids! Everyone, come out and check it out! ”

A rather frivolous laugh that does not fit with the serious current situation in Singapore.

Jihoon’s face begins to distort slightly.

“Ji…Jihoon-ang, I’ll talk about it.”

“Well…okay, Kang Ji-hoon, calm down first and we’ll talk…”

Feeling a surge of anxiety, Sojung and Seolhyun tried to settle the situation by leaving Jihoon behind…

It was useless.

“No. What should I say”

“Ha…”

“Ha…”

The Chinese hunters watching on the bus had no idea why the two pretty women were touching their foreheads and sighing at the same time.

“What’s so funny?”

Jihoon began to walk closer to the Chinese hunters.
