crackle crackle

crackle crackle

Jihoon, who came over in an instant, is not drinking tea, but is just tapping the teacup with his fingers.

The president of the association is fidgeting and looking nervously at Jihoon’s mouth.

It would be better if you curse, make a mess, or at least do something.

Wouldn’t this anxiety be a little less?

Ji-hoon finally begins to ask questions to the president of the association, who is trapped in a silent prison and unable to move.

“President of the Association, I don’t understand, but why are you asking for the ring I picked up in China?”

It was a fundamental question.

What are you asking for that is mine?

Jang Dae-han, the president of the association, picks up the ice-cold water next to him instead of the steaming teacup, takes a swig, and begins to talk cautiously.

“From the Chinese government’s point of view, they are claiming that since they were the ones who deployed the largest amount of reinforcements to the Singapore Gay Break incident, they also have ownership of the loot.”

“The biggest support force?”

“Yes, that’s right, Hunter Kang… The Chinese government is the largest axis of the Asian Hunter Union, and even in this incident, it dispatched 60 high-level hunters and up to 12 people, including rankers, in the follow-up…◦ #◦

“Hmm… Well, I sent a lot of people.”

lol

Jihoon picks up the teacup and only then takes his first sip.

Phew

At the same time as Jihoon was drinking tea, the president of the association was about to relax slightly.

but

“If there are too many heads, what’s the use?”

Jihoon’s words hit the association president.

“The country that has dispatched the largest number of troops in this incident is Korea. Isn’t that right, Chairman of the Association?”

“That’s right…Kang Hunter went there in person, so of course we are the country that sent the largest number of troops…haha”

He was the president of the association who clearly felt that it was wrong to end things easily.

“But does this ring have any good effects?”

“ About 10 years ago, in Malaysia, the gate where the Orc priest came out was cleared…but the details related to the item were not known to the academic society…”

“Hmm… I didn’t think much of it, but seeing that they are trying so hard to take it from me makes me not want to give it to them”

“… Mr. Kang Hunter, considering the relationship between the two countries, I think there are parts that can be resolved on a positive note-”

“Please give me back the ring I gave you, Chairman of the Association”

Cooung

I have no intention of handing it over to China.

Jang Dae-han, the president of the association, cannot disobey Ji-hoon’s words and gives him the oak priest’s ring again with trembling hands.

“Hmm… They are pressuring us at the government level to come up with something that doesn’t even belong… Isn’t our country being looked at too ridiculously?”

“Ha…Haha…I need to talk on the phone for a moment”

The president of the association, who left the room to talk on the phone with a sheepish smile, soon returns with a very gloomy expression.

“I…go…Kang Hunter…”

Well, his restless appearance, like that of an angry puppy, was very far from the appearance of the dignified middle-aged man who held the position of head of the Hunter Management Association.

“Was Lee Ja-yoon among the people that Hunter Kang said he had stabbed in Singapore?”

“Yes? I don’t know every Chinese kid’s name one by one…”

“That…So, Lee Ja-yoon, ranked 43rd in China’s hunter rankings, uses the lightning skill…”

“Ahh! Lightning?”

Jihoon answers brightly as if he finally remembered who it was.

“Yes, I had a friend who used lightning. That’s right, he says he’s ranked 10th and so on, but even though I’m ranked 1st in my country, he’s saying nonsense, saying that my country’s 10th place is much higher.”

slap

The president of the association hits himself hard on the forehead.

“So…so? Lee Ja-yoon was rude to Hunter Kang… so he got hit several times? You just suppressed it, right? Right?”

The president of the association is not asking, but almost begging.

But from Jihoon’s mouth, the words he never wanted to hear come out.

“No, the other kids just lightly squeezed him, but that lightning guy crossed the line a bit and probably cut off his leg-”

dump

The president of the association lies down on the sofa.

His hand, which was holding his forehead, never thought of leaving his forehead, no matter how much his posture changed.

Looking at his face full of despair, I try to offer comfort that doesn’t come from Jihoon.

“President of the Association, you don’t have to worry that much. There are healers among Chinese kids. That much would have been treated quickly and he would have returned well.”

Of course, Jihoon’s words couldn’t provide any consolation to the president of the association.

“Ha… Hunter Kang, I’m on my way after speaking with a high-ranking government official. It is said that the Chinese side is not only claiming ownership of the Orc Priest’s ring, but is also talking about investigation and punishment for the attack on Chinese ranker Li Jayun.”

“Attack incident? That guy threw so many lightning bolts at me to kill me… And if I were to be honest, I fought 12 to 1.”

“No…of course…it’s not Hunter Kang’s fault, of course…”

Association president Jang Dae-han was surprised once again, even though he had already realized Ji-hoon’s strength a long time ago.

He took on China’s 43rd ranked Li Zayun and about a dozen of his teammates by himself? And that while also receiving the lightning skill?

In fact, Korea’s ranking system was not recognized at all compared to China’s ranking system.

Of course, it was an undeniable fact that Jihoon’s power, which overturned all existing common sense, was unrivaled.

However, the president of the association has finally realized that the level is not inferior to that of Korea but also the world.

He adjusted his posture, stopped admiring, and decided to focus on solving the problem at hand.

“First of all, how about handing over the orc priest’s ring to the Chinese, Hunter Kang? They are acting cooperatively as the Chinese side wishes, and claiming negligence on both sides in the Li Jayun issue. That way, there will be less burden on our government-”

“Um…I don’t like it.”

“Yes?”

“I don’t like it”

“No… this is an issue that could easily escalate into a problem between countries. Hunter Kang… Even if Hunter Kang ended the Singapore incident and also felt unfairly involved in the conflict with Lee Ja-yoon’s team. ..This problem is a nation-to-nation issue that cannot be solved individually like the previous ones.”

“Oho”

Seeing the president of the association speaking seriously, Jihoon sets the table as if asking him to do more.

The president of the association, who had already finished talking to government officials and could no longer step down, decided to spill all the stories he could.

“It is said that Japan’s Hunter Naoki and India’s Hunter Kapur have already accepted the Chinese government’s official request and agreed to hand over the relics of the Oak Priest. Among the member countries of the Asian Hunter Association, there is no country that can be free from China’s influence. This means that there is nothing good about losing with China. Hunter Kang… Could you please bend over backwards just this once and move on?”

“Hm”

Jihoon rests his chin in thought for a moment, then raises his head and looks at the president of the association.

“President of the Association”

“Yes, Hunter Kang”

“Would you like to wait a moment? This tea, I’ll be back before the tea gets cold.”

“……?”

While the president of the association is making a fuss, Ji-hoon opens a portal and disappears.

You’re coming back before the tea gets cold? What is a gwanunjang?

The president of the association feels that his breathing, which had been suffocating, is becoming even more congested for some reason.

I’m anxious

I’m so anxious

His earnest wish that we should not pretend to be with China and that international disputes should be avoided…

I don’t think that crazy guy will listen.

You’re coming back before the tea gets cold?

Isn’t this a line you would say before going to cut off the enemy’s head?

Why did you say something like that and then disappear?

The president of the association had endured eons of time with his hands sweating.

In reality, time passed very slowly.

Before the steam rising from the teacup had even stopped, the portal opened again.

“President of the Association! See you often”

A voice as refreshing as a jade ball rolling.

For some reason, Yoo Seol-hyeon appears first from the portal. Of course, Jihoon was also there.

“Yu…Why is Hunter Yu suddenly here?”

“Ah, just for a moment, Jihoon is giving me a magic bag, hehe. Jihoon needs me to go here and there”

When Yoo Seol-hyun smiles brightly and hugs Ji-hoon, Ji-hoon pushes her away and puts something down on the table.

“Kang…Hunter Kang, what is this? And what do you mean when you say you’ve come a long way…”

“I went to India and Japan. To get my cane and necklace back. In the first place, I gave all three of them to myself, including the rings, so I wonder if anyone can exchange them as they please… Call that high-ranking government official again. Tell the Chinese side clearly. A relic of an orc priest. Now not only the ring but also the necklace and cane are all in Korea. And, I won’t give it to you”

The association president’s vision is becoming increasingly dark.

Not only did they rob China of not only the ring, but also the necklace and wand that China had already promised to receive…is this really crazy?

Now it seems like everything is going to happen

The president of the association resolves to stop worrying so desperately.

In the first place,

It was not a problem that could be solved with one’s own hands.
