Han Yu-jeong seemed to think about it for a moment, then shook her head.
Had I really been able to see the future, I wouldn’t have left the accident until now.
Rather, he or the other Setinos Hunters would have prevented an accident from occurring.
“If you get a second-class judgment even after being injured, you should consider it a first-class monster.”
“Did all the citizens evacuate?”
“I know that almost everyone has evacuated. People who don’t listen give me a headache.”
Yoon Se-in shows a displeased expression and lets out a shallow sigh.
After obtaining approval from the president, he had already issued an evacuation order to the citizens living near Mt. Bukhan.
However, there were still people who did not follow the instructions, so only the police and firefighters suffered to death.
“Then we will have to wait until all the citizens are evacuated.”
“It will take some time. Hunters were also put in, but citizens are still coming out, right?”
“You have to do what you can. But you can’t give up.”
Shin Da-hee answered calmly while keeping her gaze fixed on the side of Bukhansan Bohyeonbong.
It was a monster with blue scales, and it was constantly scattering yellow electric currents.
As a result, the surrounding area was completely turned to ashes, and the sky was covered with dark clouds.
The fortunate thing was that the current emitted by the monster was too strong, so it extinguished the flames that were constantly generated.
“I don’t think the fire will spread any more.”
“That alone cannot be reassuring. The electricity from that guy’s body is gradually expanding its territory. If we leave it like that, we will surely cross Mt. Bukhan.”
Park Yong-joon frowns as he examines the current emanating from Bukhansan Bohyeonbong.
The current had not yet escaped from Bukhansan.
However, it was decided that it was dangerous because the electric current was gradually extending outward.
“That dark cloud worries me a little too. They are not leaving the area around the monsters.”
“It must have been created by a demon. It may be that you are preparing for an attack from your enemies.”
“You have to think about that later. We have to approach over there first, but we can’t go because of electricity, right? Either get rid of that electricity completely, or find a separate way to access it.”
Everyone agrees with Yoon Se-in’s words and nods their heads.
It was only by killing the monster that this situation would end.
However, in this state, let alone approach the monster, it is impossible to even attempt an attack.
“Should I use the fall-off method?”
“It doesn’t change the fact that you are exposed to electricity.”
“Then how about digging in the ground and approaching it?”
“There will be a lot of manpower and budget going into it. It seems a little difficult because it takes a lot of time.”
“Isn’t there some kind of device that can cut off the electricity?”
The four of us discuss it over and over and periodically look out at Mt. Bukhan.
The monster hadn’t shown any movement yet.
He was probably trying to heal his wounds or watch the situation.
In other words, the more time was delayed, the more favorable conditions were given to the enemy.
“Is it necessary to form a team with a small number of elites?”
“I think it might be a little dangerous. When it comes to being a small number of elites, it’s limited to us or the Black Hunters, but if you get hurt or die, your losses will increase.”
“Even if it ends with just getting hurt, you won’t be able to easily escape from there. Electricity keeps everything isolated, right?”
“You also have to think about your superiority. The power of electricity will probably increase the closer you get to that monster. It would be nice to form a subjugation team with hunters who can perform ranged attacks or use earth attribute abilities.”
“Well…”
It was a very candid yet clear answer.
It would only be dangerous to get close to the monster, so it would have been better to secure safety with a ranged attack.
The earth attribute was an attribute optimized for defense, and depending on the situation, it could be hidden under the ground, so of course it had to be given priority.
“Then I will have to remove the sword and spear.”
“The Demon King must go.”
“The Demon King is not the most suitable for this subjugation. You should go too.”
“If I say I can’t because I’m old, do you have any plans to get rid of it?”
“Are you trying to say that you are old with that kind of face?”
“It is true that he is old. That doesn’t mean I won’t go.”
Yoon Se-in showed a smile and said that he would like to participate.
Park Yong-jun nodded and turned his gaze to Han Yoo-jung.
“Demon Lord, as you know, you are the most important. If you have the power, you can break through that electricity.”
“…even if you told me not to go, I was going to go.”
“For safety’s sake, it would be better for the saint to accompany you.”
“yes. Anything.”
Park Yong-jun pre-selected three Setinos Hunters and started looking for other candidates.
As Han Yu-jeong said, we had to select mainly hunters who can attack from a distance or use the earth attribute ability.
After the subjugation team was formed, in case of an emergency, they would have to wait for those who were more powerful than Purple Hunter.
“Dragon King, are you okay for a second?”
“Why? Do you have any problems?”
“If it is a problem, it will be a problem. There is an Awakener I want to take part in this subjugation.”
“…you mean not a hunter.”
Park Yong-joon quickly recognizes Han Yoo-jung’s meaning and frowns.
It was not a good way, either legally or realistically, to have an awakened person who is not an official hunter participate in the subjugation.
However, I thought that I could roughly guess who the Awakened was.
“If it’s what the Demon King is saying, you should listen to it.”
“I want the student council president of Miterichi to participate in this subjugation.”
“yes?”
“I didn’t know that such a word would come from the Demon King.”
“…”
Park Yong-jun keeps his silence and meets Han Yoo-jung’s eyes.
If it was Han Yoo-jeong’s ability, it would have been able to weaken the lethality of the low current.
What would happen if Miterichi’s student council president copied Han Yu-jeong’s abilities or used other abilities?
“I might as well talk to the chairman.”
“You’re going to put a student on the subjugation team? Are you crazy?”
“It’s not very incomprehensible. The student council president is not competent.”
Park Yong-jun thought that there must be a good reason why Han Yu-jeong said such a thing.
There was no way that Han Yoo-jung would send students who were not even issued a Hunter license to battle.
It was probably because the president of the student council of Miterichi thought that he was outside the category of students.
“I have no intention of going into battle. It is enough to help me.”
“I know what you mean. But if you refuse, you must give up. I’ll have to listen to the opinions of the Chairman and the Setinos Hunters. Can the Demon King be satisfied with this?”
“Yes. If you don’t like it, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
Han Yoo-jung was prepared from the moment she mentioned Seo Hyun-woo.
If he failed to subdue, even if he had to die, he was going to save Seo Hyun-woo as much as he did.
Seo Hyun-woo’s skills were not lacking even compared to the current Black Hunter, and he had strong faith because he foresaw this situation.
‘There is something about the student council president. This means that whenever an accident occurs, we respond quickly and accurately. Is it also similar to Yoo Jin-seop?’

The top floor of the Hunter Committee, the chairperson’s office.
Choi Seung-ho was busy dialing the phone and checking the monitor and text messages one by one.
There was no time to conduct a videoconference with the Setinos Hunters.
Now, even one more hunter had to be dispatched to Mt. Bukhan.
‘It’s at least 3rd grade. It looks like he’s injured, but I can’t underestimate it.’
Choi Seung-ho recalls the video conference at the time while checking the report from the field.
Obviously, the three Setinos Hunters had the same opinion.
It was as if he had been ordered by someone, so he was a little suspicious.
‘Certainly, three people may have shared the same opinion by accident. But it fits too tightly to be a coincidence.’
Setinos Hunter was also a human being, and his beliefs and values could not be perfectly matched.
Therefore, they argued with each other over a single issue, and it was not easy to see the end.
But it would be strange if three people suddenly came up with a unified opinion at the same time.
‘What can connect three people? White, five colors, black…’
Choi Seung-ho began to organize the things he had been through in his head and set up a system.
Dahee Shin and Sein Yoon once nominated the student council president of Miterichi as a candidate for Setinos Hunter.
As Han Yu-jeong was the president of Miterichi, he had no choice but to have contact with the student council president.
‘Did the student council president of Miterichi move those three? in what way? What evidence do you have? I can not understand.’
Choi Seung-ho ignores the noises that disturb his ears and tilts the chair back.
Of course, his guess was not necessarily correct, and there could be other reasons.
However, the presence of the student council president was so deep, wouldn’t it be natural to go blind?
‘If the student council president says he will be on our side, we can be relieved. But, like Yoo Jin-seop, he might be selfish.’
Choi Seung-ho always had the worst in mind.
Such was the case with Yoo Jin-seop, and the same was true of the monsters that appeared in Bukhansan.
In particular, the behavior of the student council president seemed to be looking at Yoo Jin-seop in the past, so I was even more wary.
‘Three Setinos Hunters are following the student council president’s words. It seems that Baek Jeong-woon is also attached to it… Is it too late for me to touch it?’
***
Inside the Absolut’s president’s office.
Lee Min-seong developed Revenance 2 and Revenance 3 together with Justia and established Absolute Company.
Of course, most of the funds were supported by the Han-Hon industry, and in fact, Absolute was nothing more than a subsidiary of the Han-Hon industry.
However, it was close to a kind of investment, and the rights related to the battle suit were completely vested in the Immigration Department.
“It is clean and spacious. So, is it enough that Lee Min-seong is the only employee of this company?”
“It is not. There are three people including me, Justia, and Seo Hyun-woo.”
Lee Min-seong smiled and replied softly.
Seo Hyun-woo had already been appointed Vice President of Absolute by Justia.
It wasn’t his will, but he believed in Justia and Seo Hyun-woo, so he followed suit.
“I didn’t know I was going to get a job before I graduated from Miterichi.”
“It’s not just about Justia. Thanks to Mr. Seo Hyun-woo’s help, we were able to spur the development of the battle suit. You deserve to be vice president.”
Seo Hyun-woo sips his teacup and looks around from time to time.
As Lee Min-seong said, Seo Hyun-woo has been giving advice continuously based on the information he knows.
It would not have been of much help, but the development speed of the battle suit would have been slightly faster.
“Thank you for saying that. So can I use the battle suit too?”
“I understand that Justia gave me limited use rights. Are you going to use it too?”
“…Revenance 22, Blockbuster. I think we should use that battle suit for this subjugation.”
