I upgrade alone

"Yes, Chairman Gao Jianli is preparing for this kind of time."

Seong Jin-Woo nodded his head involuntarily.

He especially wanted to show the current situation to those who accused him of throwing unused and expensive equipment in the association.

From the hunters who took over the equipment and put it on one by one, he could even feel a sense of tragedy.

At this moment, a big hunter who was trying to stuff his hands and feet into the armor covered with magic power inadvertently raised his head, and the eyes of the two collided.

"Oh?"

He couldn't help sighing in surprise when he saw the top hunter who had only seen it in the news.

"Seong Jin-Woo Hunter?"

"what?"

"Has Hunter Cheng come here?"

The hunters who filled the gymnasium looked back in unison.

Sure enough.

Just like what the big hunter said, at the entrance, Seong Jin-Woo, who was standing with the chairman of the association, was silently watching this side.

There was no chatter in the originally noisy interior, and the air froze instantly.

Heavy breath.

An overwhelming sense of presence that cannot be felt from the screen flows from the top hunter in front of him.

People who have stood at an unreachable height, just looking at it, their hearts can't help beating wildly.

Plop, plop, plop.

Facing Hunter Cheng Jin-Woo, the expressions of the hunters present gradually turned red.

Envious and respectful eyes flew towards Cheng Jin-Woo.

Only then did Cheng Xiaoyu understand that it was something that could be said on the phone, but Wu Zhenzhe insisted on coming here.

Those gathered here are all low-level hunters who have difficulty preparing expensive magic equipment.

These low-level hunters who came here after receiving an urgent call from the new president, their spirits have long been exhausted, and Wu Zhenzhe called Cheng Xiaoyu to restore their morale.

Perhaps it was because Oh Jin Chul's thoughts were right, the eyes of the low-level hunters who noticed Seong Jin Woo were suddenly full of vitality.

The intelligence of Oh Jin Chul, who has led the inspection department for a long time, made Cheng Jin Woo burst out laughing.

Not knowing if it was because his inner thoughts were exposed, Wu Zhenzhe scratched the back of his neck silently.

he asked a little shyly.

"But... Cheng Hunter, why do you need to use the gymnasium?"

I saw Cheng Jin-Woo put his hand into his pocket, as if he was about to take out something.

He secretly took something out from the warehouse and held out his hand.

"I'm going to use this."

The plum-sized seed on Cheng Jin-Woo's palm made Wu Zhenzhe tilt his head in confusion.

"What... what is this?"

"If you plant it on the ground, a monster that looks like a tree will appear. I have something I want to test."

"You said this can grow monsters?"

Seong Jin-Woo nodded to Oh Jin-cheol who stared wide-eyed.

Tree-shaped monsters will spit out their own seeds before they die. If the seeds are not destroyed, new monsters will grow in that place.

Because they have high defense and strong vitality, it is too inefficient to hunt repeatedly, so he destroyed all the seeds.

But this guy in his hand is a seed that fell from a boss-level monster.

Thinking that it might be used in the future, Cheng Jin-Woo put the seeds into the warehouse for safekeeping.

Cheng Jin-Woo named it 'Iron Armor Wood', which means it is as hard as an iron armor.

'If it's that guy, is it the best option for experimenting with new blades?'

But now the problem is...

"In the recent chaotic atmosphere, if you see monsters, you will feel uneasy."

Wu Zhenzhe said very worriedly.

Cheng Jin-Woo also agreed.

"That's why I need an unobtrusive, quiet, solid place..."

If it is the gymnasium of the Hunter Association, ordinary people cannot use it, and the degree of sturdiness is second to none.

Cheng Jin-Woo turned his head to the hunters again.

I saw countless hunters holding the weapons provided by the association, while glancing at Cheng Jin-Woo, they strengthened their will to fight.

"But that's how it is now."

Cheng Jin-Woo showed a regretful expression.

Although seeds can also be used in the open land of country R, ​​it would be too far to fly there, and it would be too wasteful to use the shadow exchange technique.

I didn't know what would happen here during the two hours I went to Country R.

When Cheng Jin-Woo was hesitating what to do, Wu Zhenzhe spoke decisively.

"it is good."

"what?"

Wu Zhenzhe's determined expression made Cheng Xiaoyu full of doubts for a moment.

"Today's afternoon schedule at the gymnasium will be completely vacated for Hunter Seong Jin-Woo. Compared with your hard work, this is not even a preferential treatment."

Former association president Go Gun-ri even amended the relevant bills for Hunter Seong Jin-Woo.

Chairman Gao Jianli said, if you can't even give this convenience to outstanding hunters, how dare you ask them to risk their lives to fight?

But is it plausible that the man who now inherits his mantle can't even borrow a gymnasium?

"is this OK?"

Seeing Cheng Jin-Woo's worried tone, Oh Jin-cheol grinned.

"It doesn't look like it, but I'm the top person in charge here. It's up to me to turn it on or off."

After finishing speaking, Wu Zhenzhe clapped his hands twice, and his eyes immediately focused on him.

He raised his chin and puffed out his chest, shouting proudly and confidently to one side.

"principal!"

"Yes Yes!"

Seeing the association staff rushing over from afar, Cheng Jin-Woo felt something again.

Whether it is an embarrassing title or a suitable title, the position must be high enough first.

***

A high-end hotel in S city.

A man was silently overlooking the road full of vehicles leaving S City by the window.

Behind the man, Laura came over.

She holds the handle of a backpack full of luggage in her hand.

"Boss, are you not leaving here?"

"Yes."

Thomas tapped on the window with the tip of his index finger.

And his fingertips pointed to the portal.

"How can you leave here with something so big and beautiful?"

"Big is big...but beautiful?"

Although I have become accustomed to Thomas's strange behavior, but looking at the terrifyingly large and ominous portal is actually beautiful...

Laura's expression was one of complete disbelief.

Thomas turned to her.

"Everything that makes the heart beat is beautiful."

Thomas checked the beating rate of his heart with his hand on his chest.

Since I saw the portal until now, my heart has been beating non-stop.

"Whether it's the fire-breathing dragon, or the huge portal, or the power of Seong Jin-Woo's hunter, those are all beautiful things to me."

This man can't be stopped at all.

Shaking her head, Laura couldn't hide her smile.

Thomas then dropped his hands on his chest and grinned.

"Anyway, there is no teleportation port, so what are you going back for?"

"But...the Hunter Authority is worried."

worry.

Is someone concerned about their own safety?

Thomas smiled even more boldly.

"It's ridiculous to say you're worried. Is there any safer place in the world than being around Hunter Cheng Jin-Woo?"

It's all said to that extent, and Laura has nothing to say.

It is no secret that the Hunter Administration has entrusted the safety of the world's most elite hunters to Cheng Jin-Woo.
