Chapter 127 – Different Dreams (1)

The hypothesis of an “Experiment” For greater terrorism seemed to be judged very likely by the police and diamonds. The day after the attempted terrorist attack at the research center, members of the Diamond Club and the Black Dragon were having a meeting at the conference hall. Hunter Jang Ji-wan said while stroking his beard.

“What you said clearly has potential within the Diamond Club. Didn’t you say Hunter Jeong Su-hyeon came up with it?”

Junhyeok Lee Hunter nodded his head.

“Yes. A very clever and talented friend.”

“It seems so. It’s fortunate that the future of the Black Dragon Room seems bright even after the case is completely over.”

Our expressions became subtle at the words that we couldn’t tell if they were encouraging or sarcastic. Hunter Jang Ji-wan looked at the change in our expressions and added.

“I mean it in a good way. In a good way.”

He seemed to be the type to buy and make enemies. Hunter Lee Jun-hyeok’s face was strangely distorted, like a person who chewed a bug while eating fruit. Another Hunter from the Diamond Club quickly changed the subject.

“The police also agreed with the opinion that Hunter Kim Hyun-ki should be captured this time. I don’t know when the next terrorist act will be, but I also understand that it is very necessary for Hunter Kim Hyun-ki to surrender in order to know the circumstances. The Diamond Club plans to actively cooperate so that Hunter Kim Hyun-ki can be captured alive if possible.”

Junhyeok Lee Hunter said.

“Thank you for your cooperation.”

The meeting ended just like that.

*******

“Unlucky bastards.”

As soon as he left the conference room and got into the van, Hunter Lee Jun-hyuk spat out swear words. Seong Ha-yeon Hunter added,

“They said they would cooperate. Good for you.”

This incident was not mere terrorism. The secret societies were after something more than terrorism. In a situation where the true truth was unknown and only speculation, the members of the group had to be captured. Junhyeok Lee Hunter said.

“Whatever the past, Kim Hyun -ki, this is over the line. You have to pluck out your brain and make it spit out information. What is the reason that hunters have been living and giving their lives to jump into the gate? If you look at it narrowly, it’s for my body to live well, but if you look at it broadly, I jumped in for people’s safety. Kim Hyun-ki said what that bastard did this time was something a hunter shouldn’t have done.”

“But what about the capture operation? They don’t even come with a warning notice, and Hunter Kim Hyun-ki’s ability itself is an ability specialized in escape. Even S-rank Hunter Jang Ji-wan missed it because he looked at it once. How do we catch it?”

“Yoojung. Did you notice that?”

“Ah yes.”

Senior Yu-jeong nodded her head and then opened the pad. Ichie said next to senior Yoojung.

“I helped.”

“That’s right. Miss Ichie actively helped me with the background investigation, so things went a little easier.”

Yu-jeong senior and Ichi-ae were in charge of investigating the background of Hunter Kim Hyun-ki while we were meeting or cleaning up after the terrorist incident. Senior Yoojeong unfolded the pad so that we could all see it, she said.

“My name is Kim Hyun-ki. Six years ago she got into the academy. But if she was 6 years ago, wouldn’t she be in the same class as Hayeon?”

Seong Ha-yeon Hunter shook her head and replied.

“I entered the academy midway through, so the year alone was six years ago, but actually it was five years ago. At that time, Kim Hyun-ki was not there. You must have already been expelled when I came in? If there was, her nickname would be ‘Youngmi’s pussy owner,’ and there’s no way I wouldn’t remember it.”

It took a lot of courage to tell a newly transferred girl the story of an expelled student whose nickname was ‘Youngmi Boji’s owner’. There was no stall. Judging from her mood, Sung Ha-yeon Hunter seemed to have heard the legend of Young-mi’s pussy owner.

Senior Yu-jeong nodded her head and then continued.

“At the academy, my grade itself was average, and even then, according to the observations of the teachers, my friendships were not smooth, and I felt very out of place within the school. Still, she said she wasn’t intimidated, so she didn’t take it as a problem. I couldn’t change it because more than half of the nicknames were a problem.”

It was a past history that somehow didn’t seem like someone else’s business. It was because at the beginning of the semester, I was also despised and quietly ostracized by my classmates because of my nickname, Ada Bomber. If it wasn’t for senior Yoojung and Ichie, I don’t know if I would have had a really difficult life.

“And I was going to participate in the Rookie of the Year competition, but I couldn’t participate in the preliminaries because Hunter Jang Ji-wan, who was the president of the society at the time, objected.”

“What is that…”

Hunter Lee Jun-hyeok and Hunter Seong Ha-yeon glanced at me and nodded their heads. Even when the Ada bomber took part, there were all sorts of pains, but no one knew what kind of uproar it would have been if the ‘young-mi-boji owner’ had tried to participate. Senior Yoo-jeong nodded her head as if respecting Ji-Wan Jang’s opinion about this matter.

“After that, she participated in group practice at the academy, where she was caught up in a gate instability accident and she was in critical condition for a while. She is said to have been unconscious for about two months, and during the period she was unconscious, she was expelled for not recognizing her attendance and for failing to study properly.”

“I got into an accident in an academy class, and I was expelled without admitting my attendance?”

Hunter Lee Jun-hyuk also looked at senior Yoo-jung with a puzzled face. Senior Yu-jeong nodded her head and said.

“Yes. Because she had a perfect attendance record until then, I can’t help but think that she was citing her non-attendance at this time as the reason.”

“I don’t understand. Why don’t you put in a request for correction right away?”

Junhyeok Lee Hunter asked. Yujeong Kim Hunter shook her head.

“As soon as Kim Hyun-ki Hunter left her academy, she prepared a rented room for her with her lover, Young-mi, and she worked at the construction site, so she may not have meant it herself, or she must have been paid for something. Might as well.”

“Have you been paid? How much did she get paid? Academy graduation is a pretty important issue in the hunter industry. Even if you’re a bit of trash, they’ll let you graduate. Kim Chun-bae would have graduated if he hadn’t dropped out. If you don’t graduate, you won’t be treated like a human being.”

Senior Yujeong nodded her head and continued her words.

“But after that, I was caught up in the gate incident, the monthly rent collapsed, and Kim Hyun-ki’s lover, Choi Young-mi, got caught up in a monster raid, and was hospitalized after contracting an endemic disease inside the gate. After this, Hunter Kim Hyun-ki applied for the restoration of her academic records, but she has data that was rejected.”

“I said no.”

“At the time, the dean was Ji-Wan Jang, and personally, it seems that Hunter Kim Hyeon-Gi visited Hunter Ji-Wan Jang. And this, this is an eyewitness story like a rumor that has been heard recently.”

“Sightings?”

Ichie said.

“I researched and found it.”

“Good job. Reason.”

I stroked Ichie’s hair once. Ichie nodded and shrugged his shoulders. Senior Yoojeong pinched Ichie’s cheek once and then continued.

“In front of the Diamond Club, a man stopped Ji-wan Jang’s car, and my wife died because of you. He apologized and did everything he could, but there are rumors that you yelled at me for ignoring me. If you think this man is Kim Hyun-ki…”

“Did Hunter Jiwan Jang deliberately kick out Hunter Hyunki Kim when he was the president of the society?”

“And it seems to have prevented the restoration of academic records.”

Junhyeok Lee Hunter said, frowning his eyes.

“The grudge is deep, deep. But then, what should I do with this friend now? What should I hold on to? I thought he had a deep grudge against Hunter Jang Ji-wan, but is there a way to catch him with this?”

Ichie said.

“How about this?”

Hunters focused their attention on Ichie. Ichie calmly laid out his ideas. Hunter Lee Jun-hyeok, who was listening to his story with his eyes closed, spoke.

“It’s a bit embarrassing, but… I’m fine. Okay. Let’s do that.”

“By the way, it’s kind of like that. I think something has a bad aftertaste.”

Hunter Seong Ha-yeon also shook her head as she breathed in her. Senior Yoojeong smiled and said.

“First of all, I’ll recruit a hunter with the corresponding awakening ability.”

******

“Are you going to capture him alive?”

Diamond Club meeting room. Hunter Jang Ji-wan strongly shook her head at someone’s question. It was as if a child was slaughter in front of a food they disliked. Shaking his head vigorously several times, he said.

“Kill. You must kill him.”

“Still, it is very likely that he is the main pillar of a terrorist group.”

“What if I arrest him, and my past spreads? What would happen to my honor if a bastard with such an absurd nickname had anything to do with me? What would happen if the reporters took a quick bite because he was talking nonsense?”

“You still have to capture them alive. This problem is not simple. We’ll block the article. It seems appropriate to capture them alive if possible.”

Hunter Jang Ji-wan rolled his eyes at those words. And he looked at his opponent again and grinned.

“As much as possible, I mean. I see.”
