The first place Sung-hyun visited was the American Association.
Aside from the fact that the president of the American Association was almost tied to Seong-hyeon, he had to pay compensation for this first-class door subjugation.
Even if Seong-hyun ripped it out in the United States, the value of it cannot be assessed, so there could be opinions against the big compensation, but this time, there was no objection.
Padron left an interview by directly mentioning the names of Richie and Sunghyun, so even considering public opinion, I had to listen to what Seonghyun wanted.
‘I have nothing to receive anyway, and I can’t give you what I want.’
What Sunghyun wanted was not special equipment, nor was it a crystal of outstanding value.
I just wanted knowledge, but this knowledge was not even accessible to only a Seonghyeon-level hunter.
So Sung-hyun asked the American Association for something else.
The establishment of a new system, which has already been discussed.
But this time, the United States wanted to step forward.
“Is this all you really want?”
“That’s right.”
The president of the American Association had eyes as if he could not possibly know the person Seong-hyeon.
Not any other country, but the place with the most in the world.
This was a proven fact that no one could deny.
‘If it were me, what would I have asked for?’
If the president of the association was Seong-hyeon, wouldn’t it have already been owned by at least one of the many states in the United States?
“It wouldn’t be difficult, would it?”
“Maybe they will like it too. In fact, it’s an attractive offer to them, to the point that they wonder if they have the option of rejecting it.”
What Seong-hyeon is proposing is to spread Seong-hyeon’s system, which is now caught in Korea.
The forces opposing Seong-hyeon, as pilgrims, have already finished their orders, and only the opposing forces remain.
They were already doing things in their own way, but there was a difference in speed and scale depending on the power they had.
In such a situation, if the United States, which has much to offer, would directly help, better results and faster results would have been obtained.
“Won’t there be a problem?”
“There seems to be none. We support what they are already doing, not all of us.”
Even so, the burden would be considerable, not just one or two places to apply, but this was the United States.
The man in front of me was the president of that American association.
The president of the association said with a smile, telling him to be relieved when Seong-hyun looked like he was worried about the United States.
“Now, what Hunter Kim Seong-hyun wants from me is to welcome them as well. Of course, that puts less pressure on us.”
“Did you think of a way to finance yourself?”
“of course. We support what they want, so why not take some of the crystals with us?”
“I will help establish the system and possess the crystals that emerge from it. This is it.”
“That’s right.”
“Then what do the existing hunters there do?”
If we do as the president of the association says, things will proceed in the line of mutual benefit, but of course, someone has to lose that much.
The president of the association realized when he saw Seong-hyeon’s face when he asked him.
This question is a question to test yourself.
“There are a lot of things we can support, but that doesn’t mean we can support everything. We have enough room to support the funds and the people in charge, but the number of people in charge of the work is remarkably small.”
The president of the association said whether he had data about them or showed them to Seong-hyeon what he had prepared in advance.
“This is a data that identifies how many people there are according to the level of hunters in each country.”
From top level hunters to low level hunters.
A large number of people were distributed according to this rank, and there was at most one top-level hunter in a place that was a little behind in development, such as a place that needed support from the United States.
“Personally, I think that you have to be at the level of a high-level hunter to educate others. Low-ranking hunters, who make up a large number of existing ones, will receive training expenses as a crystal while conducting training as well as subjugating the gate.”
Sung-hyun looked at the president of the association as if interested in the detailed plan than expected.
Even if it was something I had thought about in advance, it was quite satisfactory, and if I came to mind after hearing Seong-hyun’s suggestion now, the president of the association has more superior ability than I thought.
“I think it would be better to appoint high-ranking hunters as their professors, and manage their management as hunters sent from the United States. In fact, the students are just hunters, and it won’t be much different from an ordinary university.”
“Do you think you have prepared in advance?”
“If their power is strengthened with the support of the United States, it is an advantage from a national level, and it is a benefit because it is a blessing from the United States from a personal level.”
I thought I’d give you some advice if I couldn’t figure it out, but looking at the president’s plans and thoughts now, it seems like I don’t need advice.
“No worries.”
“Haha, like I said before, I’m not quick to notice.”
“I don’t care what the future holds. However, there should be no delay in application.”
“The word for the future is…”
“You know, don’t you? Hunters who grew up with the support of the United States. Whose strength they will become.”
“…”
The president of the association swallowed dry saliva for a moment.
There was only one reason why the president of the association was able to come up with data and a little plan in the first place.
It wasn’t to look good to Seong-hyeon, nor to predict what kind of request Seong-hyeon would make today.
It’s just that these are things that help America.
‘Even knowing that…’
The president of the association has never had a genuine fear of anyone until now.
Padron has a side where he behaves according to his feelings, but to be honest, his intelligence was a bit lacking.
Of course, Richie was the strongest, and quite clever.
However, the person itself was quite docile.
Besides, I thought the association was good.
But what about Seonghyeon in front of you?
In terms of strength, he was the person who captured the red eyes, who had only been in charge of special assassination.
Capturing a hunter was only possible if he was much stronger than that, and that meant he overpowered the red eyes that boasted a 100% completion rate for special assassination quests.
A hunter like that said, “I know everything, but I’ll let you do what you want.” Instead, I started to feel a sense of fear, even though he showed me mercy.
He had some weaknesses anyway, and recently he was the president of the association who felt attracted to the character Seong-hyeon himself, but one more reason to follow Seong-hyeon was added.
“Well, can I trust you?”
“That’s right.”
“Cultivating American Talent. We look forward to seeing how reliable and effective it is.”
Seong-hyun left these words and left the room as it was, and the president of the association leaned on the sofa as if drooping, taking a deep breath that he had been holding on to.
“Huh… I’m out of breath.”
Still, I breathed a sigh of relief because I thought I could continue a good relationship.
——————————————–
The next place Seong-hyeon headed was the Richie’s Guild.
I had to tell you how the conversation with the president of the association went today, and also explain why I haven’t been able to respond to calls.
However, there was one question I had.
For some reason, I felt like I had to explain the reason to Richie quickly.
“…it must have been because we got closer recently.”
Seonghyeon, who thought it was no big deal, thought about what to explain to Richie and moved on.
Seonghyeon, who came in with a very friendly greeting from the entrance of Richie’s guild, was able to meet Richie right away, despite Richie’s other plans.
“Kim Hunter! What happened? For some reason, I was contacted for 5 days…”
Richie, who ran out of the room when he heard that Seonghyun had arrived, approached him with worried eyes and said,
“Shall we go in and talk first?”
Seonghyeon, who came into the room alone with Richie, explained in detail what had happened during the five days that he had not been contacted.
Richie was also a subject of religious belief, so he was qualified to receive detailed explanations.
“You want to strengthen the people around Hunter Kim?”
“yes. It seems that purple crystal was the ability to forcibly unlock an ability.”
“Are you all right? There are similar drugs…”
Guernsey Richie, who thought it was similar to a drug that forcibly unlocks his abilities, had a more worried expression than when he first saw Sunghyun.
“It’s okay now. Don’t worry too much. But how strong do you think you have become?”
“Anyway, Hunter-sama disappeared and I met Padron, and he asked me what happened to make me so strong.”
“If Padron thinks that way, that means there’s a pretty big difference, right?”
“yes. To say that Padron has gotten stronger is hard to hear on a normal level.”
In fact, even Seonghyun felt now, Richie seemed to have changed quite a bit from before.
It was difficult to know the details.
“I also tested it separately, and my abilities were the same, but physically, it has changed quite a bit, for example, is it easy to grasp the movement of a level 1 door boss?”
“I think I have acquired some pretty attractive abilities. It suits my purpose.”
“Iknow, right. You must be busier than that, but did you come in person?”
“Yes, I am on my way home after talking with the president of the association today.”
I explained to Richie all the conversations I had with the president of the association today, and how the association would move in the future.
It was Rich who received support from the association to follow Seonghyun’s system, but it will be difficult to receive that support in the future.
“I can do the support that the association used to provide. Richie-sama, as he has done so far, I think he should work with the academy instead of the association.”
“So now, Hunter Kim doesn’t have to worry about other places?”
“yes. The president of the association will take care of it.”
“If you have any other intentions…”
Rich is obviously an American citizen, but he cared more about Seong-hyeon than America.
“It will be fine. The president of the association is a quick-witted person.”
“I don’t think there is any problem with Hunter Kim saying that. Rather, Padron also found Hunter Kim. You must have figured out whose power the first-class door subjugation is.”
“Did you hurt your self-esteem or did something like that?”
Richie burst out laughing at Sunghyun’s question.
We quarreled with Padron like that, and now we’re a little worried about each other.
“I gave a rough explanation, but he seemed to want to meet Hunter Kim again. Just as I understood that I became stronger, Hunter-sama wondered if I had become stronger.”
“I’ll see you someday anyway.”
“So is it.”
After Sung-hyun’s answer, an awkward air flow began to flow for a while.
As the awkwardness got a little longer and started to turn into a bit of discomfort, Richie opened his mouth carefully first.
“If you have time, how about dinner…?”
“Good. dinner.”
Today, Sunghyun and Richie spent dinner together in a place other than Uncle’s shop after a long time.
