“I didn’t expect the schedule to be this long.”

When I arrived at the airport and looked around, I felt a strange feeling.

“Chief Cha. How about your mother and brother?”

“No problem.”

“That’s fortunate.”

It would have been nice if my mother and brother had religious faith, but it was impossible to forcefully create an environment conducive to having faith.

‘That seems to be the case…’

Seong-hyeon immediately called In-hwan.

I thought I would handle it well, but the fact that all of the 3rd and 4th grade doors were stronger than before inevitably resulted in casualties.

“hello? Sunghyun? Are you here now?”

“yes. The schedule is longer than expected.”

He already knew that Sung-hyun was active in the United States, but he did not know what had happened to Sung-hyun.

“Is there anything wrong? For example, the number of casualties increased.”

“I was going to contact you because of that, but I couldn’t because of what happened in America. But what happened that suddenly made the level 4 and level 3 gates stronger?”

“How strong are you?”

“I got it sorted out. I’ll show you when you come to the guild.”

“okay. What about Sangyeon?”

“Thanks to Sangyeon, our guild has fewer casualties. By the way, Sangyeon is also coming to the guild today, so if you have time today, please drop by.”

“Okay.”

Things didn’t seem too bad.

I was a little worried that the 3rd and 4th doors were strengthened at the same time, but when I heard Inhwan’s story, Sangyeon seemed to have lowered the number of casualties by participating in the subjugation together.

“Hunter Kim.”

As I was about to go straight to Advent, I heard a familiar voice in front of me.

“Vice president?”

“…there is no face.”

All situations have already ended, and the crisis has turned into an opportunity, but the error has not gone away.

The vice president remembered the first time he met Sung-hyun.

Sung-hyun’s request to put his family first.

DNN and the academy’s bodyguards were also deployed there, so maybe he was a little negligent.

“it’s okay.”

“I sincerely apologize. We didn’t do our job properly as an association.”

The vice president apologized as if he was apologizing for what happened yesterday or just before.

Until now, there was no time to properly apologize like this, and I thought it was a priority to fix things first during that time.

Moreover, if something else happened to Seong-hyeon and more time passed, the opportunity to apologize like this was getting further and further away.

“It’s really nice to have the opportunity again. instead.”

At Seonghyeon’s words, the vice president stared at Seonghyeon with tense eyes.

“There should be no such thing in the future. Not only to my family, but to the people around me.”

In the original Hunter Association, no matter how high-ranking the Hunters were, they should not show a swaying appearance to a single hunter.

But it also has to be some top level hunter.

He saved the lives of as many as 130,000 people in the United States and revealed the identity of the vice president, whom no one had suspected for a long time.

And, unintentionally, by catching the red eyes, he solved what remained as an incident of a long time ago.

At the same time, it also brought tremendous benefits to Korea and the Hunter Association.

‘Hunter Kim Seong-hyun is different.’

personality, character, disposition.

It wasn’t about these things.

The power of one person was already far beyond the influence of the Hunter Association.

It would not change the result even if it brought not only the Hunter Association of Korea but also the Hunter Association of any other country.

“I will keep that in mind. And the president of the association also wanted to come, but he couldn’t because of the National Hunter Association meeting schedule.”

“Are there any meetings?”

“Yes. Since the 4th and 3rd grade gates were suddenly strengthened, casualties are occurring little by little not only in Korea but also in other parts of the world. Of course, the number of casualties now has significantly decreased compared to the beginning, but the hunters who were originally only subjugating Grade 4 gates suddenly lost their jobs…”

Rather, the damage seemed more serious than when the Grade 5 door disappeared.

Considering the income of a regular hunter who takes regular 4th-level door subjugation, it was much more than an ordinary job.

Quite a few of the hunters who subjugated the 5th grade had their main job to subdue, whereas the 4th grade hunters were mostly hunters whose main job was only subjugation.

“Yeah… that’s right.”

“Things are…not good. The number of casualties has decreased compared to the beginning, but a fundamental problem has arisen.”

“If it’s a fundamental problem…”

“It means that the number of hunters is running out.”

It was more serious than any other problem.

When the 5th grade door disappeared, the damage of the lowest level hunters had actually occurred.

Since the door itself has disappeared, the number of doors has decreased quite a bit, regardless of how strong the door is.

At that time, I was worried about their damage and took measures.

Of course, it is true that there was no damage to the extent that it was called a crisis.

If the number of unemployed increased a little, or if the death occurred by entering the fourth-class gate unwittingly, it was within a range that could be adequately dealt with.

“It’s not because of the casualties, but you are saying that the number of hunters who can subdue the reinforced 3rd and 4th gates is small.”

“It is correct. As Hunter Kim is well aware, most of the doors are Level 3 and 4, except for the Level 5 doors that have already disappeared. Most of the Hunters make a living by subjugating these two gates. However, as these two gates have been strengthened, the limits of the gates that existing hunters can subdue are approaching.”

In addition to the structure of the Hunter, the structure of the door was also a pyramid structure.

Of course, the stronger the hunter, the lower the number of high-level doors.

“Are there going to be meetings to find that solution?”

“To be honest, we cannot solve this problem. Unless the number of hunters increases.”

“Then why is the meeting…”

“After this conference, the status of the Republic of Korea will rise. Of course, there will be talk about how to solve this situation, but it will be just a temporary measure. Hunter-sama, do you know the reason for the existence of the Hunter Association?”

“…”

Sung-hyun answered silently, and the vice president continued explaining.

“There are things that control the world of Hunters that cannot be tied down by law alone, but it is fundamentally to create that power to benefit the nation.”

“I understand.”

“Originally, I didn’t really care much about stat rankings. However, watching what is happening now, I feel that the rank ranking is absolutely necessary.”

“May I ask why?”

“The ranking of the status of a country is the status of the horse, but the power of the country. And the higher the rank, the more privileges you have.”

“privilege?”

“Yes, that is the right of command in an emergency.”

“If it’s an emergency…”

“When a problem arises that does not depend on the survival of one country, but on the survival of all mankind. Only then is the standard of emergency.”

And it is one of the obligations of the association that you do not need to explain.

To protect their own hunters.

It is a natural fact that the higher the rank, the greater the power to protect the hunter in the country.

“Vice President. There is one thing you are misunderstanding.”

“…Yes?”

The vice president looked at Sunghyun with stupid eyes for a moment.

Maybe it touched Seong-hyun’s heart.

“You don’t have to explain this to me. The vice president is just doing the job that suits his position as vice president.”

“Is that so.”

The eyes that looked at Seonghyeon stupidly changed to those of relief.

“But, it’s a story when you fulfill your obligations as a Hunter Association.”

Clearly, the crisis turned into an opportunity, and he even spit out the words that it was okay with Seong-hyun’s mouth.

Of course, there was no reversal of this.

It actually became an opportunity, and it was really good.

However, he had no intention of forgetting that a crisis had come to Seong-hyeon’s family.

“Keep in mind… I will.”

“I hope the meeting is over and there is a good result. Then we will go.”

“Yes. After the meeting is over, we will deliver the details separately.”

Seong-hyeon, who finished speaking, disappeared in front of his eyes in an instant.

“If this hadn’t been resolved…”

Maybe even then, he was vaguely thinking that Sung-hyun would forgive him?

Is it because of the past?

Of course, he would not have made an extreme choice to kill.

“Even if there is any reason…”

What you didn’t do is what you didn’t do.

To such a vice president, Seong-hyeon had just spoken.

It doesn’t matter what you do.

Even if it’s using one’s own power.

However, if the result is a result of harm to himself and the people around him, there is no second time.

The vice president, who promised that he would never be vigilant again in the future, left the airport and returned to the building of the association.

——————————————–

In-hwan, who was doing his work, suddenly saw Seong-hyeon appearing in front of him and dropped the fan he was holding on the floor and was terribly surprised.

“ah! It’s a surprise!”

“Surprised. What about Sangyeon?”

“I am coming now. Is your body any better than that? If I had treated that many, the pain would have been considerable…”

“I’m not used to it now.”

“…it was hard. Would you like to check this first?”

In the document that Inhwan handed over, it was written in detail about how much the magical beasts had changed while subjugating the 4th and 3rd grade gates.

“It’s not as comfortable as I thought… it was a relaxed situation.”

“However, we are on the low side. Because the other guilds only prepared for mutation, but not turmeric. After you told us the story, we also told other guilds about it, but it seems that the beasts are stronger than we expected.”

“Have you been with Sang-yeon in subjugation all this time?”

“yes. I participated in subjugation almost every day. Thanks to that, we had very few deaths.”

To hardly exist is to exist.

It was impossible to completely block it, so this side was probably the best.

“The level 4 door is almost on the same level as the level 3 door beast the other day. The 3rd-grade door is not similar to the previous 2nd-grade door, but it is definitely stronger than the previous 3rd-grade door.”

“Do you have a subjugation schedule today?”

“yes. As the 3rd and 4th grade doors got stronger, the price of the crystals coming out of those beasts went up. It must be hard to give up. One level 4 door and one level 3 door. The subjugation schedule is set up like this.”

Then, footsteps were heard from outside.

“I’m here… Sunghyun?”

“I’m here? Inhwan said that you would come too, so I was waiting for you.”

“Long time no see. Are you okay?”

“It’s always the same.”

Sang-yeon and Seong-hyeon briefly shook hands and then sat down where they always sat.

“Where are you today?”

“A fourth-grade door and a third-grade door. But the subjugation schedule is scheduled at the same time.”

“Same time? Hmm…”

“I will go to the 3rd grade. For level 4, Sangyeon will have to go to you.”

“You yourself? Then no worries.”

“More than that, Sung Hyun-ah. How was America? Talk to me.”

“Well…it was nothing…”

In Hwan’s hand, who was asking questions, was a photo of Richie and Sunghyun getting into the car together with thorns.

“hurry.”

“…”

It looks as if the answer you want to hear has already been decided.

“Where should I start explaining?”

After contemplating for a while, Seonghyeon started with the abduction of her mother and younger brother, the first starting point of everything.
