Chapter 150 – Representative of the Republic of Korea (1).

“A masquerade?”
“Yes, because I was invited as a representative of Korea.”

To be precise, he decided to attend as the ‘Haetae’ guild master.
This was the meaning of the ‘Haetae’ guild work that Han So-ra told Park Seon-woo.

“It’s a place where you can put on a mask and meet the hunters. They say all hunters from great powers are gathering.”
“Is that so? Why do we go to such a place… ?”
“If everyone wears a mask, they can be natural. Wouldn’t it be less burdensome for Mr. Kamen to do the same?”

To be honest, the masquerade party, Nabal, and time with Han So-ra are a burden.
If you want to lighten my burden, it’s much better to just let it go….

“Not bad. A ball where you can freely meet talented hunters.”

But she couldn’t get her thoughts out of her mouth.
I kept my mouth shut because I could get really into trouble if I went against Han So-ra’s planting.

‘This is the present life. I’m a poor D-class hunter.’

His ability has already easily passed C-class.
It’s a level where you can compete with B-class hunters if you dare.
Is it possible to deal with the members of the 3rd raid of the ‘Haetae’ guild one-on-one?

However, this is not the case for S-class hunter Lee Hae-wan or Han So-ra.
Even if it’s Korean S-class, S-class is out of the question.

‘I need to be level 300.’

If it was a talent to grow up to an S-class hunter, he would have gained more than that as he went up to level 300.

‘Ability is about 400….’

All stats must be 100.
Only then can you challenge the S-class Hunter.

It was a sin to dare to dream of an ALL stat of 100 in this market where even B-class people who were around level 150 were treated as talented people.
At least thanks to the “Training assistant app,” I was able to dream at least and move forward one step at a time.

‘So you came to see me. Even though I know I’ll die if I get caught.’

If it wasn’t for Han So-ra, I wouldn’t have caught Lee Hae-wan.
I am a man who knows the feeling of gratitude, so I took a risk and met Han So-ra in my present life.
Even a single person knew that.

He snuggled closer and crossed his arms.
Is it an expression of affection?
There was no such feeling.

‘If I try to run away, I think I’ll get hit right away.’

As if telling me not to think about jumping, Han So-ra grabbed me.
On the outside, they will look like a couple enjoying a date.

“It’s about time.”

Hunters’ masquerade will be held at the New York headquarters of the American Hunter Association.
Before entering the headquarters, we took out our masks and put them on.
A fox mask prepared in advance.

‘… That’s what I wrote last time.’

When I finished Lee Hae-wan, I put a fox mask on Han So-ra at that time.
Han So-ra brought the fox mask.

“Please wear the mask quickly, too.”

Han So-ra wears a fox mask and speaks with a grin.
I urged her, stamping her feet as if she wanted to go in quickly.

I wore a white mask that could be seen as my symbol.
It was in the form of a half mask that revealed the lower crown, but it didn’t matter.
Thanks to the effect of the ‘mask for suppressing recognition’, even S-rank hunters cannot recognize who I am.

And went into the headquarters of the association.
The association’s employees, who were working normally, were not interested in us.
This meant that they were thoroughly educated.

Masked people like us head underground.
I felt like my body was weighed down by the energy they secretly shed.

“Welcome, Korea’s ‘Haetae’ guild.”

I handed the invitation to the guard and went downstairs.
Go through the 1st basement floor to the 2nd basement floor.
Entered the banquet hall on the 2nd basement floor.

Kik-.

He pushed through the large iron door and entered.
The evil eyes were focused on this.

‘Is this a banquet hall?’

It was more like a training ground than a banquet hall.
The US Hunter Association decorated the training ground on the second basement level to resemble a banquet hall.

“The masquerade is a place where S-class hunters from each country gather. There’s no way you can enjoy a banquet normally, right?”

The banquet hall was full of hunters who came to attend the masquerade with us.

“… Everyone knows each other, so why are you wearing a mask?”

The faces of most powerful S-class hunters are known.
Even with the mask on, it was clear who was who.

There were also some Hunters who recognized Han So-ra.

“Isn’t everyone joking? It’s very catchy. Lee Hae-wan, who got caught in a wall and was in heat, wasn’t even like that.”
“I never thought I would get this kind of attention from a man. My body is heating up.”

Vietnam, Taiwan, Africa….
Hunters from a country that could be located at the end of the masquerade invitation list were burning their fighting spirit as they snorted at us.

It was similar to the way Korean hunters turn their eyes when they see only Japan and China.

‘Just as we look down on those kids, Japanese and Chinese kids will look down on us.’

It is true that it is inferior to Japan and China in terms of Hunter alone.
The number of international S-class hunters is small and the ceiling is low.

‘Because there is no international S-class hunter like us….’

There are as many as twelve in China and seven in Japan.
Compared to Korea, we had a very rich talent pool.

“It seems that all the S-class hunters in the world have gathered.”
“Almost everyone gets together, right? If you don’t come after receiving the invitation…. You will think that I ran away because of the vulgar language.”
“… Did the S-class hunters run away in a hurry?”

It was more like a training ground than a banquet hall.
Would you say it feels like an open Colosseum?
It was a video without seeing what would happen here.

‘Am I the one who should run away?’

All international S-class hunters gather.
Most likely, almost.
Park Seon-woo, a D-class hunter who is stuck there.

Shrimps explode in battle between whales.

‘Isn’t this a whale fight?’

Han So-ra crossed her arms as if she had read my thoughts.

“Mr. Mask is the strongest in Korea.”
“What….”

Is that bullshit, Mr. Sora?
Don’t talk shit.

He barely swallowed the insult and asked in a calm voice.

“Why do you think so?”
“Line…. Mr. Kamen caught Lee Hae-wan. Then Mr. Kamen is the strongest.”
“If it hadn’t been for Sora-san’s help…. It would have been me who died. Thanks to Sora-san.”

Is this woman out of her mind?
Why are they praising me as Korea’s No. 1 hunter?

‘Is it a pity that the chair is erected?’

Someday, I will become the number 1 hunter in Korea.
But not now.

“There are a lot of hunters this year too. It’s nice to see everyone looking strong.”
“You keep your promise on time.”

English was heard.
Hunters pushing through the iron door.
They were old people.

I don’t know what to say, but they were looking down at the S-rank Hunters.
The Hunters, who had randomly spilled their energy, bowed their heads in front of them.

‘Who?’

They weren’t famous hunters.
Korean D-class hunter Park Seon-woo sees hunters for the first time.

Han So-ra whispered to me.

“The president of the American Hunter Association and the International Hunter Association. Other people are similar to him.”
“… These are great people.”

They are not the strongest hunters.
At least in terms of strength, there were many S-class Hunters who were stronger than the elderly.

However, he did not lose to anyone as much as his power.
The head of the International Hunter Association, it was the end of Hunter’s power.

“I saw it once when I was promoted to Class A.”
“Is that so?”
“Have you met Mr. Mask?”

If you feel like you’re sarcastic about not having an international A-class hunter license, is it because of your mood?

I exercised my right to remain silent.
This is because he is a jerk without an international B-class hunter license, let alone an international A-class hunter license.

“Since the presidents of the association have also arrived, we should start soon.”

The main character is the last to appear.
The protagonists of the masquerade were not young S-class hunters, but the eldest.

They made their way to the decorated ballroom and took their seats.

“Maybe it’s because I’m getting older, it’s hard to stand still for a long time.”
“I hope you will understand even if you sit and watch.”

Their voices swept through the ballroom.
I couldn’t understand what he meant, but I decided to listen.

‘Wouldn’t it be better to get involved in a whale fight?’

My brain wasn’t working properly because of the pressure.
If it wasn’t for Han So-ra, I would have vomited.

“Shall we eat? Or should we eat while watching?”
“Are you thinking about what to eat as soon as you sit down? Every time you squirm about being old, your stomach seems to be fine.”
“You have to eat to use your head. My eyes are dim, so I can’t see very well.”

The old people chatted with each other.
The young S-class hunters were silently listening to their chatter.
Then a familiar word stuck in my ear.

“… Where is Petra?”
“Petra, she doesn’t see the child.”
“Day off! Where is Huey Reagan!”

Among the American Hunters, someone raised their hand and came forward.
A tall white male appeared.

He’s this way, not the old people who called him.

‘… Huey Reagan.’

Master of the ‘Guardian’ guild.
The ‘Guardian’ guild is a guild that Petra Friedrich belongs to.

‘Isn’t he interested in Sora-san?’

I remembered that we had met just the two of us yesterday regarding the Empress of Pandora.
The gaze wasn’t pretty, but I was reluctant.

Huey Reagan, who had been glaring at me, looked away.
He approached the old men who had called him and began to speak.

“I guess it’s something that shouldn’t be known. They block out the sound altogether.”

Even the skills of Han So-ra, an S-class hunter, cannot penetrate it.
I stuck out my tongue at the difference in the situation that I felt again.

* * *

“Huey Reagan, where is Petra?”
“… Petra is now….”

I can’t come here because I don’t have ‘Loki’s Toy Ring’.

At first I tried to tell the truth.
He had lost ‘Loki’s toy ring’ and tried to ask for forgiveness from the old people.

‘Why does that man have Petra’s ring?’

The energy of ‘Loki’s toy ring’ from an unknown man….
He tried to do so until he felt Petra’s energy.

“I will bring Petra. Could you please give me a moment?”
“… I guess something happened. Then let’s enjoy the banquet first.”

The president of the International Hunter Association said.

“The reason for holding a ball by inviting hunters from each country is…. It was to amplify the efficiency of the ‘revelation’ that child was using. There’s no reason to have a prom without Petra.”
