226. Deal (2)
‘No, but this kid?’
Blood vessels appeared on Lina’s forehead as she listened to Jin Yuha’s words with a surprised expression.
It was absurd.
If Jin Yu-ha hadn’t come here in the first place and messed with me on his own.
This ice palace would have functioned as a hot spring until the Fire Dragon’s life ended.
And how did they destroy the wall, which couldn’t budge with any amount of force, in such a mess?
He was truly an absurd guy.
Anyway, what?
Can you make Fire Dragon an elixir?
This is because a male broke into someone else’s house and destroyed the entire house.
Since it was hard to break it down, isn’t it like asking the landlord to pay for the trouble?
I didn’t even ask you to do it!
Really, I can definitely say that this guy would be the first and last person to be this shameless in front of him.
It was so absurd…
Lina couldn’t bear to say no.
‘Has there ever been a person who has grasped the essence this accurately?’
No. There was none.
If people in the world were to choose the world’s strongest hunter, they would choose Lina without hesitation.
I believed that there would be a limit to that power.
So even when something serious happens somewhere.
I thought the reason Lina didn’t come forward was because she was too busy and she couldn’t afford to get involved.
Even Baek Seol-hee, who is closest to him, just guesses that he is busy with something.
She didn’t think she ‘couldn’t’ come forward.
However, Jin Yuha was seeing the essence.
That she cannot use her power beyond a certain level.
The more power is used, the more this world will be ruined.
Even though she herself didn’t know the reason, it felt like an unchanging proposition.
What if she could use her powers freely?
Why bother establishing an academy?
It may take time.
The gates, monsters, and villains that exist in this world will be completely destroyed by her hands.
‘What is this guy…’
So, will you make an elixir according to the deal this guy proposes?
I have to make it.
It’s pitiful and sad that I was threatened by a young guy and ended up in an elixir-making machine.
There was nothing wrong with what this guy said.
Lina was also hoping that Utopia would take on her role in the future.
Yes, it is true that refining a fire dragon, making an elixir, and feeding it to you will help your future.
That’s true, but…
‘But, but, but…! What a shame…! If you arbitrarily destroyed my vacation spot, at least bow your head and apologize! ‘You shameless b*stard!’
That ugly guy with a grumpy face and a grinning smile.
Lina bit her tight lip and glared at her Jin Yuha.
As expected, offering the elixir with its tail curled like a defeated dog is,
The lofty pride of the Demon Emperor does not allow it.
‘But these days, the amount of useless work has doubled… Oh?’
That task.
It’s all because of these guys, right?
So, what if you ask these utopians to solve it?
A thought that instantly crossed my mind.
But it’s not bad.
“So, did you ask me to make an elixir? Good night. “I’ll make it for you.”
“Also! Chairman!! Thank you—eup!?”
“Dan.”
Jin Yu-ha jumped up and tried to cheer for her when she said that he would make her an elixir, but Lina blocked her mouth with her magic and cut her off her.
Sigh─
“If only you would grant my one light request.”
“······uuu!?” (Light request?)
* * *
After completing the face-to-face meeting with the chairman.
I called the party members to my room.
And I explained what happened inside.
“Yes? What did you say? We should go on a TV program… “You say you do it?”
Shin Se-hee asked back as if she had heard something absurd.
It was the same for others as well.
A look as if what he heard was true.
I nodded slowly.
“Well, I couldn’t help it. Because that was the deal.”
“What on earth did you do to make that deal?”
“We asked you to make an elixir using the fire dragon we caught. “I want to increase your magic power.”
I scratched my head with a complicated expression.
“There is also a way to use that fire dragon’s corpse and entrust the refining of the magic elixir to someone else, but in this field, there is no one who can follow Chairman Lina.”
“Ah…”
The party members tried to say something in response to the news of the sudden TV appearance.
When they heard that it was an elixir, everyone kept their mouths shut as if they had made a promise.
An elixir made from a fire dragon.
It’s a magic elixir prepared by the Demon Emperor himself!
Honestly, it was a reward too desirable to refuse.
“TV program… It’s embarrassing, but depending on the program, it might be okay. Do you know what kind of program we are participating in?”
Among them, Sophia, who had some broadcasting experience, opened her mouth.
“Well, because Director Lina said she would compile her list and give it to me. Maybe you can just pick one of them and leave. First of all, one live broadcast and one recorded broadcast. “I was told to leave like this.”
I sighed deeply.
“Ha, but this is a field I don’t know much about… “I can’t say anything.”
“By the way, junior. How did it suddenly become a story about a TV program?”
Lim Ga-eul asked.
“Uhm, that’s… Our Utopia is about conquering waves and defeating demons. Well, you became famous through various activities, right?”
“Yes, yes.”
“That’s how we gained fame, but when we’re not working, we mostly stay at home or in the academy, and we do all our moving around through space. There is no external exposure at all. So, I guess we keep getting various requests related to us from the outside. To the extent that it interferes with work.”
“Huh? We also run a separate YouTube channel, right? “Isn’t that enough exposure?”
I shook my head at Yuri Lee’s words.
“Well, I guess that’s why it’s a bigger problem. This time, when a video requesting the extermination of American monsters was uploaded, interest spread around the world, but after that, there was no news at all. Actually, we don’t often upload videos if we don’t have any outside activities, right?”
“However, it is difficult to extend the video cycle…”
Next to me, Shin Se-hee spoke in a serious voice.
It was like that.
It was impossible to take video during the gate attack, as the electronic devices did not work at all.
So, the only time videos were uploaded to the Utopia channel was when the gate exploded or there was activity outside the gate.
But are you reducing the proportion of gate attacks just to upload one more video?
It was an absurdity and absurdity.
“Anyway, that’s why the request came in. Let’s show our face in front of the public. Also, do interviews and answer people’s questions. Then the Academy will have something to say. ‘We sent it.'”
“······Appearing on a broadcast, if I can obtain an elixir through that, then definitely… “It’s very cheap.”
Shin Se-hee touched her lips and was lost in thought.
“Tsk, originally I could have just gotten it for free… That grumpy, vicious Jammin… “You’re going to give it to me anyway, but you put such conditions on it.”
“But, junior. Can’t we just do it like we do YouTube videos? If that’s the case, it’s not that difficult-“
“No. It’s wrong.”
It was Sophia who intervened in Lim Ga-eul’s words.
“If you go into broadcasting with such a lax attitude, you will receive criticism you could never even imagine. Jin Yuha. “Did you say that one of the things we have to film is a live broadcast?”
“Uh, uh.”
“Then, we need to be fully prepared.”
Her eyes her her her sank low.

「Meet the Hunter. 」
It is one of the entertainment programs professionally produced by the broadcasting station.
It was a program that mainly invited hunters active in Korea to promote parties and guilds and to talk about the hardships of hunter activities.
In today’s era, when interest is more focused on hunters than most celebrities, it could be said to be a program aimed precisely at the needs of viewers.
In keeping with that interest, “Meet the Hunter” Boasted the most popularity among the programs currently airing.
It was that kind of program.
There has never been a history of academy cadets.
That’s right, the people who usually appear here are experienced hunters who want to raise their money through publicity.
Even so, the broadcasting station had the perception that cadets were novices compared to active hunters.
This was because there was a perception on the part of the academy that if you raised your name in a way other than through requests, your skills would decline.
For the first time in the history of such a program, academy cadets were invited.
Utopia.
Indeed, can we call them novices?
No.
Even though they are academy cadets, they have already proven to the world in the quest to exterminate American monsters that they can compete on equal footing with active parties.
But does the Academy also think that their skills are lacking?
Absolutely not.
Recently, it was a party so recognized within the academy that entering Utopia was ranked number one on the cadets’ bucket list.
Let’s say such people appear on broadcast.
Naturally, there was an uproar at the broadcasting station.
“Well, well, really. Jin Yuha! Are you sure you’re coming this time!?”
“Yes yes! “I just received confirmation from the Academy!!!”
“Huh, crazy, those mystical guys are really appearing on our broadcast…?”
