108 – I should take care of it to some extent
A former Hunter and former Abyss. And… Talos, the current Black Hunter…
Before she participated in this promotion test, she gave Joggs and A-class hunters who knew about her, and asked Lee Jin-hyun one favor.
“So… in this promotion test, you’re just treated as an ordinary newcomer, is this different?”
“Yeah, my past history has been erased anyway, and there are still no B-class hunters in the company who know my identity, so there is no difficulty, right?”
“Yes, of course it is, but…”
“I’m begging you, and… I’m asking other people too. It’s because I want to take this opportunity to clearly see how good my skills are.”
The words of Talos, spoken with a little earnestness.
To this, Joggs and the others nodded slowly, as if they understood what she wanted.
“Well, actually, since I’m a friend, it’ll be a burden to other hunters if I take him around.’
“Hmm… I think I know what you mean.”
“Certainly, I was a former A-class hunter for no reason. Rather than talking about something, that might be better for measuring my skills.”
Like that, according to Talos’ will, Joggs paired up with Are, partly keeping a little distance from her.
Talos then began to take a quick glance at the people moving in pairs, excluding himself.
‘Well, since the numbers are supposed to be correct anyway, I’ll just do it with someone who’s left.’
Talos stood there for a moment while thinking about that.
At that time, a woman who was a B-class hunter began to approach her.
“If you don’t have anyone to do it with, would you like to do it with me?”
A woman who is about a head taller than Talos and has a slightly chic impression.
Seeing her act of reaching out to someone she hadn’t seen before, Talos nodded, feeling quite comfortable.
“yes. If you’ll allow me…”
Talos carefully held her outstretched hand.
The two then began a brief conversation as they walked towards the mattress in front.
“Looks like a new recruit, what’s your name?”
“My name is Talos. It’s been about a week since I joined Dreamers.”
“I see. My name is Huang. It’s been about three years since I became a Black Hunter.”
“I see… then is it okay if I call you Iro-senpai?”
“What about the senior… Since he joined Black Hunter anyway, everyone is there, so there’s no need to do that. It’s okay to just talk comfortably without having to talk about seniors or anything.”
“Ah yes. no.. yes. Okay this way.”
The two of them quickly let go of their words while making such a simple statement.
However, the thoughts in the heads of the two people having the same conversation were quite different from what they seemed.
‘Talosra.. was a foreigner after all. Surprisingly, seeing how well he speaks Korean naturally, do you really think he is of mixed blood? Anyway.. she looks young, but for now, I need to take care of her as an older sister.’
Talos is short, has no wrinkles on his skin, and has a rather dry feeling.
Through this, Iro naturally judged that she was older and treated her from her older sister’s point of view.
On the other hand, Talos nodded slowly with a light smile on his lips while watching Iro.
‘Hwang Yi-ro-ra.. Considering that he takes care of me, a person I’m seeing for the first time, I think he’s a kind person, doesn’t he? I think he’s roughly the same age as me, or slightly younger… That’s true, but since he’s a senior in this industry, I have to respect him to some extent.’
Her appearance, which has been living while listening to the voices of her children, is bleached without a single blemish due to the influence of Abyss factors.. Literally, her skin is the color of white milk.
In addition, as a result of undergoing plastic surgery more drastically than originally planned to disguise his identity, an exotic feeling was mixed in, and Talos’ appearance became a level that only looked like he was in his mid-teens, rather than his original age of mid-20s. ended up
However, Talos himself was not very aware of this fact, so the two of them arrived together in front of the mattress for the promotion test, slightly out of focus from the part about each other’s age.

‘It’s fortunate, but I met the right person and went.’

Joggs is relieved as he sneakily examines the situation on Talos’ side.
She was worried that her friend would have a hard time choosing a mate because she was a newcomer. Fortunately, that didn’t happen, so Joggs could be relieved.
‘Now then… Shall we start focusing on this side from now on?’
With that thought in mind, Joggs gets down on his stomach and prepares for a push-up.
In front of her were Lieutenant Jinhyeon Lee, who was watching the situation, and Are, who was standing to measure her record.
‘I will definitely break the record. To the extent that Are can’t keep up…’
To be honest, it was advantageous to play from the back in a competitive position, but Joggs somehow ended up in a position to take the lead.
Feeling a bit dissatisfied with that fact, Joggs exhaled with a grim determination…
At the same time, behind her were the Hunters who were lying down like her.
The stillness and tension that flowed for a while like that.
In the midst of that… Adjutant Lee Jin-hyun slowly lifted his phone and turned on the stopwatch function.
“Then prepare…”
With those words, the atmosphere is even more uplifted.
Looking at the picture, it was a simple push-up. As the things hanging inside are by no means simple, there was a feeling of determination to the point of spleen.
and..
“start!”
“one! two! three! four!”

Jinhyun’s voice finally popped out, and at the same time, the inside of the training ground began to be filled with shouts of numbers loudly.
The hunters repeat that they go up and down accurately in a straight line from shoulder to toe in a perfect posture without any disturbance.
At first glance, this gave a similar feeling to the physical fitness test of ordinary soldiers.
But… that kind of appearance was only for the first 3 minutes…
Since then, this place has begun to turn into a scene that very vividly shows what hunters, superhumans who surpass humans, are.
“230! 231! 232!”
The number started to go up in units of 200 beyond 100 in an instant without stopping for a moment.
However, among the hunters, there was not a single person who was this tired or disorganized, and rather, among them, people who began to speed up in earnest began to appear.
“398! 399! 400! 401!”
Numbers that go beyond 300 and easily go over to 400.
Nearly 10 minutes had already passed, but among them, not a single person had stopped moving.
It wasn’t a long time by any means, but in the meantime, the hunters are clearly showing what it means to be superhuman.
On the other hand.. while watching the passionate appearance of the hunters at this time through the screen
she..
A-class hunter Glass Li Shu was sitting in a chair, tilting her glass of wine gracefully, watching with pleasure as others struggled.
“Everyone is working really hard.”
Virtually all Hunters except her are participating in this promotion test.
The passion and will felt in it could be said to be commendable even by the standards of the glasses being watched.
However, in this situation, it is much sweeter to take a step back and observe than to participate and sweat together.
Like that, while watching the push-ups of the hunters who were beginning to reach 1000 units beyond 100 units, the glass slowly raised the glass in honor of their colleagues who were struggling.
