Chapter 59 – Finals (3)

Rattle!

“Oh!”

“What?”

After the finals, the cheerleaders who were preparing for the closing event were shocked and screamed when the door suddenly opened. A man wearing a dark suit and sunglasses looked at the women on the other side of the door and lowered his head in amazement.

“Sorry.”

Across the hall, in the other direction, something similar was going on. The thick-built middle-aged people in suits were the VIPs who decided to attend the closing ceremony after the finals event. They too stopped talking when the door suddenly opened and looked at the man in the suit with their lips slightly pursed.

“Sorry.”

Suspicious visits repeated several times were bound to call the guards. The uneasiness spreading in the arena was enough to call the guards. The guards, wearing blue brim hats, called the Yakuza group over with nervous faces.

“Hey. Who are you looking for?”

Noboru, who was leading the yakuza group, looked back at him with a toothpick in his mouth. His brown sunglasses and long mustache made him startle. The colorful suit embroidered with floral patterns and the men in suits following him like a duckling made it possible to guess Noboru’s occupation.

The guard made eye contact with Noboru with a very nervous face. It was because I felt like an extra in a thriller movie. It seemed that they would suddenly pick up a knife and run amok at any moment. Noboru, who had slightly twisted his head and looked at the guards, said with a smile.

“Oh! Good luck. I was lost and wandering here and there. We are confused as we go around looking for people we want to meet. Where is he? Lee Hyun Woo. I want to meet Lee Hyun-woo and get his autograph.”

Lee Hyeon-woo was a S-class Hunter who participated with two S-class members of the Diamond Club as a special referee for the final today. He had the record of being the youngest S-class hunter in Korea, and was also a player who enjoyed popularity like an idol due to his good-looking appearance and friendly personality.

The security guards looked a little relieved when Noboru made an excuse by pretending to be his fan. At the same time, I was annoyed by the commotion he caused. The guards were a little cautious in front of the yakuza and spoke in a sharp tone.

“Oh, really… Get out! This is not a place where ordinary people just come in and out! Get out! Hurry!”

Noboru shrugged his shoulders and turned around. At the same time he sent Ichie a message on his cell phone.

[Bukjjoga Nah tribe is not happy. The guards didn’t come and search]

Ichie, who received the text message, showed it to Seong Hayeon. They were in the western district, and Seong Ha-yeon smiled at the text message Noboru left. The information was sent with great effort in its own way, but the text was full of typos, making it difficult for Ichi to understand. Seong Ha-yeon said.

“I think we should just look around here?”

Subsequently, a text message flew to Kim Yoo-jung.

[I don’t think it will be here. All the waiting rooms for the event staff are on this side, so there are too many people walking around.]

Seong Ha-yeon checked the text and nodded.

“Wouldn’t it be on this side? I guess I’ll find out if I look further.”

“That’s right.”

Ichie nodded her head. Seong Ha-yeon habitually took a cigarette and put the cigarette pack back in her pocket. The two stood in the middle of a cross-shaped hallway. The corridor was quiet because there were no people. Seong Ha-yeon looked at the map again and selected the rooms she checked. Looking at the map, there was a corner corridor they didn’t go to.

“Was there a hallway here?”

“Looking at the location on the map, it’s over there.”

Ichie raised her finger and pointed. Seong Ha-yeon frowned at him and said.

“That’s just a wall.”

It was just a wall. But on second thought, that hallway seemed a bit shorter than the stadium on the map. Seong Ha-yeon frowned. He looked at the map again. Clearly, there was a wall at the corner of the road that was supposed to be at both ends.

“Stay still.”

Seong Ha-yeon cautiously approached the hallway. The closer I got, the more convinced I was that this place was a wall. But something was different. She tapped on the wall. It sounded like it was empty. Seong Ha-yeon laughed and kicked the wall with her foot.

Bang!

Rainwater poured down the dirt walls that were disguised as gym walls. Dust piled up on the floor, and one of the staff members, startled by the commotion earlier, turned to Seong Ha-yeon and Ichie. He said.

“Huh? What’s going on there?”

She said as if she was nothing in reason.

“Dust poured from the ceiling. I have to put this away.”

“Oh, from the ceiling? Fucked… Oh, yes. All right. We will contact you right away and take action. Are there any places where your clothes get dirty or something like that?”

“No. Please clean this up quickly. Thank you.”

After listening to Ichie’s thanks, the staff ran away with the phone. Seong Ha-yeon said to Ichie with an embarrassed expression.

“You respond calmly.”

“If you bully the public, it becomes annoying.”

“…I see.”

Seong Ha-yeon jumped over the spilled dirt and looked at her hallway. A crossroads appeared. Seong Ha-yeon let out a laugh. She blocked the hall so that no one could come by chance. Blocking someone from visiting meant that there was something hidden inside.

“What?”

A voice came from across the hallway. Seong Ha-yeon smiled and turned his head toward him. The Diamond Club Hunter was frowning with his phone in his hand. He narrowed his brows with an angry expression.

“Hey! Yours! What?”

“Don’t you know me?”

Seong Ha-yeon pointed at herself and asked. The Diamond Club’s Hunter twisted her mouth at those words, but when he saw the color of her hair, he finally remembered who Seong Ha-yeon was.

“What? Why is the Black Dragon Hunter here? What are you This is the Diamond Club venue now. I deliberately blocked the entrance to stop anyone from coming in, but it breaks through. Are you going to protest this now?”

Seong Ha-yeon pretended to be embarrassed, turned her head away, and put her hands in the inside pockets of her clothes as she panicked.

“Oh, don’t get me wrong. Our ark asked us to deliver a gift.”

“Gift?”

The Diamond Club’s Hunter was a little wary of the word gift. As soon as he slightly released his clenched fist, Seong Ha-yeon slammed his fist out of her inner pocket and struck him on the back of his nose.

“Oops!”

The opponent sat down with his nose covered. Seong Ha-yeon fired a kick to the temple in that state. Hunter, who reflexively raised his arm to block the kick, tackled Seong Ha-yeon. Seong Ha-yeon said to Ichie.

“Hey! Check inside!”

“Where!”

When Hunter reached out, a pile of dirt at the end of his hallway began to come in like a swarm of ants. Seong Ha-yeon held Hunter’s hand and breathed his power into it.

“Aaaaagh!”

As the man trying to use his ability tumbled across the floor screaming, the dirt that was flying towards Ichie poured down like water pouring down on the floor. Seong Ha-yeon thought for a moment at this moment. What if I open this door and I’m not using a real buff or something? What if we caught the live person out of suspicion?

The face has been sold, isn’t this really fucked up?

Ichido must have had the same thought, he paused for a moment and looked at Seong Ha-yeon. Seong Ha-yeon took one look at the man who was brushing his arm and then shouted.

“I don’t know! Just open it up and have a look! Or else it will bounce!”

“Yes!”

Ichie answered loudly and opened the door.

“The crayons of youth are UFOs~ We are all together AY AY OH!”

“Aye oh oh!”

And there was Kim Chun-bae, who danced vigorously with her belly moving. He was dancing frantically, swinging a penlight randomly like Wolverine’s claw, with his shirt off. In front of him, a beautiful girl with blonde twin tails was dancing and singing a song. Ichie froze at the sight of her.

Seong Ha-yeon and Hunter both hardened their faces. Ichie said, narrowing her eyes.

“Where did you see that woman?”

And at the same time as her voice echoed through the room, Misaki looked away with her eyes twinkling. Ichie involuntarily flinched at her shoulder as if he had met a beast in the night. When Misaki stopped dancing and turned around, Chunbae looked back a beat later, sweating profusely.

“Eh, Ichigaya-san? This, this, so this… ! It’s a celebration performance! We were practicing for a performance to celebrate if our Juseong wins!”

He was startled and said so. Ichie, without hesitation, reached his hand toward the hilt of his sword. In the rear, a fierce hand-to-hand combat was unfolding. Hunter shouted.

“Fuck you! Why are you a loser! Haengpae! You bastards are falling, so did you come here to mess around!”

“I came here to ask you guys to fuck you for winning the championship, fuck you guys. If you’re confident, call the guards! Can I call you security! Guard woah uh uh!”

“Shut up!”

The dirt that had been spilled on the floor swayed sharply and flew towards Seong Ha-yeon. Seong Ha-yeon rolled her body to avoid the dirt, then jumped swiftly like a cat and tackled Hunter’s stomach. The two became entangled and rolled towards the dirt bag.

“Oh! Violence is bad! Everyone! A bunch of evil Iblus attacking our venue right now! What must I do to defeat Iblus?”

Chunbae looked at Ichie and Misaki for a moment, then closed her eyes tightly and shouted.

“Ichigaya-san, I’m sorry! Love Love Bullet!”

“Yes! With love! Love Love Bullet!”

Star dust gathered at her fingertips. The beautiful iridescent grains coalesced into a single mass and transformed into a revolver with a sleek barrel. Misaki pointed the gun at Ichie and said.

“We all love you! Lovely shot!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As soon as she heard the gunshot, Ichie overturned the table next to her as a shield. Food on the table spilled onto the floor. The pink bullet dissipated, leaving a blunt mark on the iron table. Ichie drew her sword and examined her gap.
