“eww…”
Seonghyun put his hands on his shaking hair and slowly opened his eyes.
How much did you drink?
I could have used the purification, but for some reason I didn’t want to use the purification as much as yesterday.
Accepting them as they are, Seonghyeon also approached them as a human rather than a hunter.
“How long has it been since I had a headache like this…”
He had the ability to lose consciousness, so he didn’t lose consciousness last night, but he couldn’t remember anything that had nothing to do with losing his mind.
“…I’m not sure what’s wrong with me?”
By any chance, he said he was a stronger hunter, and I hoped he would not subtly look down on them or ignore them.
“Are you awake?”
As if Seong-hyun felt like he was getting up, he heard his mother’s voice from outside.
“After… yes. woke up.”
“Will you come in for a second?”
“yes.”
A cup was in her mother’s hand as she opened the door.
“I got some honey.”
“Okay…”
In fact, they are all drunkenness that disappears with just one purification, and at the moment when I felt sorry for making my mother a hassle for nothing, Seong-hyeon met her mother’s eyes.
“then. I will drink.”
“okay. Get some rest and come out.”
The expression on her mother’s face was something that was difficult to describe.
The expression that seemed to be relieved, as if happy, made Sung-hyun’s heart even more disturbed.
“…No.”
But the more I thought about it, the more I understood what the mother’s expression meant.
Son gets involved in big events and accidents every day.
And her husband, who was involved in one of those incidents.
Sung-hyun thought that the stronger she was, the less worried her mother would be.
Besides, the ability I have is healing, so I wondered if there was any reason to worry.
However, the mother’s worries were not the only ones.
To do such a big thing, to solve a big crisis.
His face is known all over the world, and he is admired by everyone.
He must have been proud and proud of all these things, but he must have been worried about whether Seong-hyeon was taking a proper break.
“Did I get an answer today?”
Even my mother could not have known of Jeonghwa’s existence.
It must have been that his son with such purification was at ease with his disorganized appearance almost for the first time without using his powers.
So that’s why he looked like that?
Seonghyeon has been running so fast that he feels relieved to see his drunk son.
“then…”
Shall we roll around at home for a bit today?
In a world where crisis would come without Seonghyeon, there would have been no time to train in the first place.
Seonghyun lay down on his bed and turned on his phone.
What kinds of stories have been inflated to get people’s attention these days?
“Still.”
Scandals of famous people.
corruption of some politicians.
The sudden change of the door had already happened a while ago, so people’s interest in it had diminished a bit.
“…yes? Wait a minute…”
One article caught Seong-hyun’s eyes.
It was not an article that adorned the front page, and it was not an article located in a place where people’s attention was concentrated enough to stand out.
[The underground gate discovered by the robbers]
Of course, the title alone was not enough to draw the public’s attention.
read at noblemtl.com
Maybe it was written by a new reporter?
Sunghyun confirmed this article.
Could it be that the door in Seonghyeon’s memory is correct?
[Last night around 11pm. A group of robbers near the Egyptian border were arrested. The arrest process was quite unusual, and it was that he turned himself in.]
The content was quite interesting compared to the title.
Apparently, the opening of the door itself is not very special, and it seemed that the number of doors had doubled this time, so it didn’t seem to get more attention.
[The group, who was carrying out the excavation work, surrendered to the nearby police station that night. It was just that they found a door in the basement. As a result of measuring the grade of the door, the door is a level 2 door. Originally, Egypt’s top hunters would have subjugated this gate, but the subjugation schedule is being delayed because the beasts that appear from the gate have rapidly become stronger.]
What followed was easy to predict.
They sent a request for subjugation support to other countries, but even where they received the request, they were unable to provide support because they had to subdue the increased gates.
If Sura was the same, he could have forced subjugation.
Because Egypt also had Seonghyun’s Elixir.
However, if the number of gates has increased and damage to the top hunters is caused by mistake, subjugation of other gates could be impossible.
Of course, it doesn’t overflow, but Seong-hyeon and his closest aides were the only ones who knew about it.
Sunghyun had no intention of revealing this fact.
It could have been a way to reassure people even just a little bit, but obviously there will be some who are vigilant.
Naturally, Egypt had to prepare for the increased flooding of the gates, and at the same time supply and demand crystals.
However, if the ability to subjugate itself disappears, a contradictory situation will arise in which the crystal must be used to supply the crystal.
“The situation is right.”
There were few people who could help in this Egyptian situation.
And Seong-hyeon was among them.
“If I remember correctly, that door is not a new door this time.”
As the number of doors increased, many probably assumed that the door was also created this time.
However, according to Seong-hyeon’s memory, that door was a door that existed from the beginning.
Unlike other gates that would flood over a long period of time, that gate did not flood.
for a very long time.
That amount of magic had been accumulated in the door, and that meant that the number of magical beasts inside would be much stronger and more numerous than expected.
“What happened then…”
Before returning, this gate had been subjugated by Egypt’s top hunters.
Two top level hunters and 15 top level hunters.
None of them did not come back alive.
However, they did not return as Hunters.
He came back with all his magical power taken from the door.
All of a sudden, Egypt lost two of the top hunters, and the national ranking was quickly pushed out of the top 30.
The gate was eventually subjugated by Lich and Padron together.
And the reward for that door was kept strictly secret.
“I’m sorry for intercepting you…but right now Lich and Padron can’t afford it either.”
And if it was a door that Lich and Padron could subdue, judging soberly, it meant that Seonghyeon could subdue it very lightly.
“Well… you can think of it as a light outing.”
A trip to Egypt.
In order to subdue the gates and increase the number of new devotees a little bit.
Also, to confirm the reward entrusted to the secret.
————————–
“A second-class door in this situation.”
The president of the Egyptian association sighed at the difficult situation.
The horse was a second-class door, but after the sudden change, it was a door that was not much different from the first-class door.
“Isn’t the answer good?”
“…Yes. I’m sorry, but the answer is that there is nothing you can do.”
“Whoa…”
I couldn’t even resent them.
Because I knew the situation better than anyone.
If they asked for support from a great power like the United States or Russia, they would have to sacrifice all the precious crystals that came out of it.
‘In that case, it is better not to subdue it.’
It would have been better to wait for the door to overflow than to give them all the crystals.
“Didn’t that robbery group also call them Hunters?”
“Yes. you’re right. Intermediate level hunters were the majority.”
“Call Astarote.”
“Are you going to let them go?”
“It should be. We have to somehow subdue our line. Especially in a case like now.”
The hunter named Astarote, which came out of the mouth of the association president, was one of the few top hunters in Egypt.
A top-level hunter who did not participate in subjugation of the underground gate in the past.
There was only one special ability, but it was that he had the ability to check the situation inside the door.
Strictly speaking, it was very similar to Envy’s ability.
If Envy was the ability to control the mind, Astarote is the Hunter who controls everything in the target.
Of course, unlike Envy, he could only control one target at a time, and he could only use it on those who had lower magic power than him.
Since the subject being manipulated could notice that fact, Astarote’s ability was of great value, but the range of its use was not very wide.
Except for the case like now.
“…blind! President of the Association!”
Then an urgent voice came from outside.
I wasn’t happy with that urgent voice because it was already a bad situation, but strangely, it felt as if the voice was full of will to deliver a victory message.
“come in.”
As you can tell from his voice, his expression was also quite bright.
“What is the matter, your face is so bright?”
“Check this out.”
The paper he was handed was a small notepad that was vaguely even called a document.
“What the hell…”
What was written on the notepad was none other than a familiar name.
The curly handwriting was so bad that I couldn’t recognize it, but since I was speaking a foreign language, it was understandable enough.
That word is none other than Kim Seong-hyun.
As a person in the position of president of the association, I could not know this name.
And next to this name was a number.
“This is a cell phone number. I just got a call.”
“A call has come…? Where?”
“I just came with the association number. The vice president of Korea contacted me first, and then Hunter Kim Seong-hyun contacted me.”
“Did Kim Seong-hyun call you directly?”
“Yes! Direct!”
The man who had expected the president’s expression to brighten was immediately embarrassed by the wrinkled forehead of the association president.
“I, I did something wrong…”
“You didn’t connect to me right away… you just called and hung up like that?!”
“Yes? Ah, yes… First, check the president’s schedule first…”
“Such an asshole! Reconnect right now! No, I’ll connect you, so you go out and write your apology.”
“Ah… yes… I see.”
The president of the association, who looked at the employee leaving the room with a gloomy expression, with pitiful eyes, quickly coughed a few times, cleared his voice and checked the notepad.
“Hmmmm, hmm…”
The only solution to the situation now.
Even if you look at the steps shown in the United States, he would not ask for a big reward after taking charge of this subjugation.
“This is… your last chance.”
Among the top hunters left in Egypt right now, there was only one young generation, Astarote.
Even that level of combat ability lags behind other top-level hunters.
At this rate, it was clear what the future of Egypt would be like.
The president of the association, who came up with a pretty good idea, showed a satisfied smile and called the number written on the notepad.
