A positive village located in Ishikawa Prefecture.
the entrance of the village were bustling with such a lot of human beings due to the fact that early morning that there wasn’t sufficient area to stroll via.
“What’s going on? what is all and sundry out right here for?”
one of the villagers, who hadn’t heard of the news but, regarded around and asked his neighbours.
They ought to be pretty busy with rebuilding their village right now, however for these types of humans to pop out right here like this? For this villager who have been operating hard to put off the particles of a collapsed building, he couldn’t assist but be flustered by using this new improvement.
“you spot, the thing is….”
A type auntie become approximately to explain the matter to this guy and parted her lips. but, she spotted a automobile revealing itself on the a ways end of the street that caused the village and pointed to it alternatively.
“Oh, my goodness!! There they’re! They’re coming!”
Noisy, noisy….
The villagers discovered the vehicle and began elevating a fuss.
Seeing the light of exhilaration glowing brightly within their eyes, the entire atmosphere of the region got here across as if they had been right here to welcome an extended-misplaced relative living in a remote land or some such to the harassed male villager.
‘but on the other hand, there’s no way that this many humans could percentage the same relative, so….’
the person used the towel round his neck to wipe the sweat away and regarded on with a confused expression.
“I’m asking you, simply who’s coming here these days?”
An uncle at the side couldn’t endure it any more and spoke in clean frustration.
“The Hunter-nim is coming nowadays.”
“Hunter-nim? Which Hunter-nim are you speakme about?”
“Which Hunter-nim do you believe you studied I’m speaking about here?”
whilst the car got closer, the villagers raised their palms and welcomed it with all of their hearts. Their expressions all contained real happiness and gratitude.
‘should it’s….?’
handiest then did this villager realize just who was coming to pay a visit to this village. His head reflexively swivelled in the back of him.
And that was wherein he noticed the wretched state of his village, presently half of destroyed on the hands of the giant monsters. He may also see resting tools and unmoving production gadget delivered directly to rebuild the village right here and there as nicely.
If nobody stepped as much as forestall the ones massive monsters, would any lines of his expensive hometown have even survived like this? His home, full of countless memories of his life, might have been wiped out without a trace.
‘the faculties I went to, the roads I walked on, or even the region I paintings for.’
whilst he notion like that, a positive emotion surged up from the deepest part of his coronary heart. The quit of his nose stung, too.
‘That person is surely coming here?’
swish-!
His head swivelled back to the street.
The villagers gathering like this to welcome the Hunter become no longer something the better-u.s.had organised, nor had been they setting up a facade for the sake of others to look.
No, they had been right here due to the fact their hearts advised them to achieve this. It became the thoughts of gratitude that made their legs circulate.
earlier than lengthy, the male villager had taken the towel off his neck and swung it around in the air as he yelled out a noisy cheer at the upcoming vehicle.
“Waaaaah-!!”
even though the pinnacle-stop black van driving on the empty street changed into simply emblem-new, it regarded as though it had gone via hellish terrain from the manner it was blanketed in a thick layer of dust and dirt. It now appeared like it were in use for at the least ten years or so.
The words ‘jap Hunter’s affiliation’ written at the number plate rather than the actual numbers were included in so much mud that they have become nearly not possible to read.
The van’s hard situation regarded to tell the tale of the sour, bloody battles it had witnessed within the last few days, and that in flip warmed and softened the hearts of the villagers. those overflowing with wealthy feelings even commenced losing tears, as well.
A brief while later, the van driven with expert talent got here to a prevent in the front of the group.
Screech.
“Waaaah!!”
“Hunter-nim!”
As he obtained the adulations of the crowd, the shades-wearing Yu Jin-Ho exited from the driving force’s aspect of the van.
tap.
Yu Jin-Ho made sure to wave his arms at each of the villagers rushing in to greet him. It turned into around then.
“Hunter-nim!”
An employee of the japanese Hunter’s association looking forward to Jin-Woo’s group to arrive someway managed to push via the throngs of human beings and stood earlier than Yu Jin-Ho.
Pant, pant.
He bent over and panted closely to capture his breath earlier than status upright to invite a question.
“Are you Seong Jin-Woo Hunter-nim?”
The affiliation worker was speakme in jap, however fortunately, Yu Jin-Ho could realize many of the phrases spoken simply now.
“No.”
He leisurely shook his head, before raising his finger and pointed on the sky.
“De-eol.” (TL word at the give up)
when he did…
Kiiaaahak!
….The Sky Dragon Kaisel screeched out a cheerful roar as though responding to his calling.
“W-what on the earth is that?!”
“What? What??”
Didn’t the vintage pronouncing go ‘as soon as bitten, two times shy’? The villagers who had been dwelling in worry of the giant-kind monsters saw the huge black lifeform flying inside the air and their shoulders all flinched significantly.
thankfully for them, Kaisel in reality remained circling above their heads and did nothing else.
Kiiiaaahhk!
The villagers ultimately recognised that Kaisel didn’t suggest any harm. They endured to look up with mystified eyes, although their expressions still displayed how scared they were.
It was then – a dark humanoid shape jumped off from the returned of Kaisel.
boom!
The villagers watched Jin-Woo land lightly on the floor by way of the usage of his ‘Ruler’s Authority’ skill and their collective eyes nearly fell out of their sockets.
“….”
especially for the affiliation employee closest to Jin-Woo – he stood immobile whilst tightly protecting the ends of his glasses, fully not able to mutter a single factor out right now. So, Yu Jin-Ho spoke to Jin-Woo on his behalf, instead.
“Hyung-nim, this gentleman right here turned into searching out you just now.”
“Oh, certainly?”
Jin-Woo grew to become around and stood earlier than the affiliation employee.
The latter belatedly regained his wits after seeing Jin-Woo method him and fast shook his head left and right. The higher-united statestold him in no unsure terms that he need to never make a ‘mistake’ with this Hunter-nim.
The employee managed to shake off all distracting thoughts and fashioned a sombre expression before bowing his head.
“It’s an honour, Seong Jin-Woo Hunter-nim. My name is Tanaka Hiroshi from the japanese Hunter’s association, Kanazawa department.”
He raised his head and defined the reason of him coming to greet the Korean duo like this.
“i am tasked with guiding you, Hunter-nim, at some point of your visit here today. I’ll be for your care.”
Of path, each unmarried word he spoke become in eastern. Jin-Woo glanced at Yu Jin-Ho. The latter stared right again at the former with out a word.
“…”
“…”
Jin-Woo saw the intense, satisfied-go-lucky smile on Yu Jin-Ho’s face and spat out an extended groan. He simply realised that the kid had no longer one notion of looking to apprehend a lick of jap.
Left with little preference, Jin-Woo summoned a Shadow Soldier who should act as a trusty eastern interpreter.
‘Oh, my king….’
Beru emerged out from the shadow and civilly bowed his head. He finished greeting his Sovereign and grew to become around to face the association employee.
‘I shall take care of this guy.’
‘No, hang on. whilst you say that, it nearly sounds such as you meant some thing else and that kinda concerns me….’
Jin-Woo have to not be the simplest one thinking alongside that line, due to the fact not best the association worker, even the accrued villagers noticed Beru’s imposing figure and their expressions have been frozen stable proper away.
“Human.”
Beru walked over to the association employee and addressed him even as starting up his chest extensive.
“what’s it that you desire to carry to my liege?”
Gasps of astonishment simultaneously leaked out from the villagers watching on. Even Yu Jin-Ho became taken significantly by way of marvel as he additionally had never visible a Shadow Soldier talk earlier than.
“Hyung-nim?? That man may want to talk all along?!”
“Yeah.”
Jin-Woo nodded his head.
the japanese he spoke was so fluent that it wouldn’t be a problem to consider Beru as a local speaker. as long as one discounted the monster-like, loud, ringing voice coming from him, that become.
‘however, then again….’
Jin-Woo’s head became abruptly filled with a thought that, as a long way because the range of humans Beru had eaten changed into involved, he had digested more japanese than Koreans, so perhaps this need to be seen as an inevitable result. For some cause, although, he felt a stupid pulsing pain develop in his head and began slowly massaging his brow.
meanwhile, Beru exchanged some phrases with the affiliation employee and turned around to address Jin-Woo subsequent.
“Oh, my king. This human has been tasked with guiding you via this village. He swears to certainly serve you to the first-class of his skills, my liege.”
“ok, great. by means of the manner, just what did you inform him that the terrible man’s face ended up completely white like that?”
“I warned him that, if he dares to hotel to any underhanded schemes, I shall consume him in his entirety, from the tip of his feet all the way as much as the ends of his hairs, oh, my king.”
“…..Oh. I see.”
What did it be counted, anyway? so long as the rationale were communicated, it became satisfactory.
The affiliation employee fearfully discovered Beru now status in the back of Jin-Woo and carefully raised his voice.
“This way, please.”
Jin-Woo found it alternatively unfortunate that the worker’s complexion had paled to one of these pitiable degree, and nodded his head.
“okay.”
Jin-Woo’s organization was led to an abandoned storage facility placed somewhere within the village with the steering of the worker.
there was no need for an entrance, as one of the walls inside the garage facility have been blown cleanly away. The corpse of a massive-type monster lying on its again could be seen inside the ruined structure.
“It’s over here.”
The employee pointed to the corpse and stepped aside.
Jin-Woo walked nearer and confirmed the fame of the monster’s remains.
The corpse became packed with clear signs of the bitter, harsh conflict it went thru with… And there were a endless wide variety of bite marks which ended in diverse wounds indicative of the monster having been eaten.
‘Your boys…. Did they chow down on this component?’
Jin-Woo regarded back at Beru as his glare have become a level sharper. the former ant king had bent his waist properly before Jin-Woo even started looking again at him, his gaze firmly constant to the ground.
Why turned into this? Why did Yu Jin-Ho image a phase chief stuck in his process seemingly forever kowtowing and currying favours together with his department head whilst looking at the relationship among his hyung-nim and the ant creature?
Jin-Woo shifted his gaze again to the monster’s corpse.
In all honesty, so long as some components of the corpse remained intact, there was no trouble with extracting the shadow.
‘It’s just that I experience a piece bizarre, that’s all.’
Now that every one dwelling Giants inside Japan had been removed, Jin-Woo changed into going around to locate the ones stays of the monsters killed off by his infantrymen so he ought to perform ‘Shadow Extraction’ on them.
As he immersed himself on this new undertaking, he could without difficulty tell which department had engaged which creature genuinely from the situations of the monster corpses.
quite plenty all the monsters unlucky enough to run into the ant navy couldn’t avoid ending up in this pathetic sight.
“Fuu…”
Jin-Woo stared at the monster that possibly had died while getting gobbled by masses of ants and let a sigh leak out of his mouth. He then rolled his sleeves up.
He pointed towards the corpse. A dignified voice soon left Jin-Woo’s lips.
“upward thrust up.”
after which, this took place.
Didn’t matter who it became, the tightly-packed gathering of villagers following after Jin-Woo gasped out in astonishment almost all on the equal time.
Whoa-!!
along side the special scream, a large soldier, his body having recovered to complete, emerged out from the shadow and knelt down on one knee before Jin-Woo.
growth!
It changed into yet another achievement. As easy as they come. With this, he had gotten himself the 27th giant soldier.
‘I wager there are two left now, right?’
Jin-Woo looked up on the implementing-searching large soldier and grinned brightly.
***
on the identical time in South Korea.
Goh Gun-Hui turned into currently sifting through various television channels with a faraway interior his workplace, positioned inside the Korean Hunter’s affiliation.
no matter which broadcast he changed to, they had been pretty tons all dominated by using the news of Jin-Woo’s feat in Japan. however, this phenomenon wasn’t going on simplest in Korea. It become the equal story inspite of the international news channels, as well.
there was absolute confidence now that, thru this incident, Hunter Seong had branded his name in the psyche of the entire international.
“Huhuh.”
A vivid smile remained etched on the face of the affiliation President Goh Gun-Hui as though he became the one experiencing this event.
What if he managed to dissuade Hunter Seong Jin-Woo that day while the younger man declared his intentions of going to Japan….? simply considering that opportunity made him shudder uncomfortably.
He almost ended up making the largest mistake so overdue in his existence.
The repute of the Korean Hunter community had visible this sort of meteoric upward push in repute thru this incident that he simply needed to thank Hunter Seong for willingly stepping forward like that.
All due to the moves of a single individual, a few are even openly pronouncing that South Korea had turn out to be the brand new global Hunter superpower now.
that is why the affiliation President felt proud and happy on the feats Jin-Woo had executed to date. however, there was one factor he felt quite involved approximately, and that would be….
“affiliation President, sir.”
With desirable timing, phase chief Woo Jin-Cheol knocked at the door and stepped into the president’s office. He become a person who, by using achieving again-to-back effects early in his career, were given to put on the title of the youngest-ever section leader.
He achieved a light nod of his head as a greeting and made a record at the present day state of affairs.
“The monster has modified its route toward China, sir.”
“Is that so?”
Now that was an surprising exchange within the state of affairs.
As Jin-Woo busied himself with killing the Giants in Japan, considered one of them escaped out into the sea. The creature had been heading into the Pacific, however the news of it completely changing route toward China was a chunk of sparkling shock to the affiliation President.
Goh Gun-Hui quickly requested.
“How are the chinese responding to this case?”
“We heard that Liu Zhigeng will personally step up, sir.”
Goh Gun-Hui leaned his again in opposition to the sofa.
“if so, there must be no issues, then.”
The massive-type monster have to be ripped to shreds even before setting a foot at the chinese mainland now that Liu Zhigeng, one of the 5 maximum effective Hunters inside the international, had decided to get concerned.
It changed into a large remedy that the d*mn monster wasn’t headed to South Korea while Hunter Seong turned into nonetheless absent from the us of a. Woo Jin-Cheol noticed the comfort in the association President’s face and also fashioned a grin as properly, possibly his very own annoying mind enjoyable a bit now.
His eyes then stuck the television display.
The scenes of destroyed Japan, painfully sobbing and screaming jap people, as well as the continuing rescue efforts and reconstruction paintings getting off the floor, were displayed one after the alternative.
“How unfortunate.”
Woo Jin-Cheol clicked his tongue.
“certainly, it’s miles unlucky….. completely so.”
Goh Gun-Hui agreed with that easy however succinct evaluation.
South Korea also had suffered similar pain 4 years ago back on Jeju Island. the wounds inflicted on that day still ran too deep to mention that he had forgotten how painful it changed into. The reconstruction of Jeju Island became ongoing whilst they spoke on this workplace, in the end.
Goh Gun-Hui raised his voice again.
“however, a person’s ache can also turn out to be a person else’s ray of wish.”
“i encourage your pardon?”
“Do the purpose why Japan, absolutely ruined after losing the struggle, had recovered to grow to be the second one most financially wealthy nation on the earth?”
“Wasn’t that due to the Korean battle?”
“That’s right. through wartime unique procurement. And some thing comparable is ready to appear to our nation.”
With a wry expression, association President Goh Gun-Hui placed his hand on top of the thick pile of files presently resting at the table.
“those are all quotation documents sent in by means of the local corporations wishing to get involved in Japan’s recovery projects.”
The Korean corporations have been quick to make their circulate. some of them even sent in those files as soon as Hunter Seong had left for Japan. all the different agencies have to have finished with their preparations by means of now, as properly.
‘a person’s pain can come to be a person else’s wish, is it….’
No, to be more correct, it’d be a person’s profit, instead.
Having correctly understood what the affiliation President became implying simply now, Woo Jin-Cheol additionally started forming a wry expression to reflect his boss.
before long even though, he quickly spoke as though he recalled some thing else just now.
“Ah, through the way, sir.”
“Yeah?”
“the japanese affiliation President Matsumoto has apparently surpassed himself over to police.”
“He did what?”
Why could one of these shameless man all of sudden have a trade of heart?
Goh Gun-Hui was approximately to discuss the details of that news, but then heard the ringing of the smartphone and reached out to it.
Ringgg… Ringgg…
He picked up the receiver best to be greeted by means of a as an alternative pressing voice.
– “affiliation President, sir. It’s me.”
The voice belonged to his non-public health practitioner. He should were beyond busy coping with sufferers speeding in at the moment of the day, even though.
Goh Gun-Hui should best tilt his head.
“My pal, what made you call me right now of the day?”
– “I notion that the problem to hand turned into too critical, so i was compelled to….”
“Too… important?”
Goh Gun-Hui’s voice also have become pretty extreme.
several in all likelihood scenarios fleeted inside and out of his head just then. however, his private health practitioner ended up mentioning a very surprising name, as an alternative.
– “by any hazard, were you aware of the situation Chairman Yu Myung-Han turned into in?”
Chairman Yu Myung-Han changed into one in every of the biggest contributors to the Korean Hunter’s affiliation. He changed into even a non-public acquaintance of Goh Gun-Hui, as well.
What had came about to him, then?
The affiliation President pressed for an answer, and the private medical doctor continued on with his clarification.
– “Chairman Yu Myung-Han has been admitted to our health center earlier these days, sir.”
Goh Gun-Hui shot up from his seat.
“He’s no longer in any vital threat, is he?”
– “it’s far absolutely unfortunate, however… there isn’t tons we can do for him at this degree.”
A heavy silence descended inside the workplace.
The private medical doctor’s voice, preserving silent for a second or two, quietly endured on.
– “Chairman Yu Myung-Han, he has entered the ‘final sleep’ country.”
