Chapter 152 – Representative of the Republic of Korea (3).
There are a total of seventy S-class hunters notarized by the International Hunter Association.
It meant 70 people out of 8 billion, or about 1 in 100 million.
‘Not all gathered.’
There are also many S-class Hunters who did not attend the masquerade.
About half declined the invitation to the masquerade.
Of course, it was filled by international A-class hunters.
Although not international S-class, they were hunters from countries that were recognized in their own way.
‘In terms of proportions….’
A total of sixty Hunters attended the masquerade.
About 30 of them were American and Chinese nationals, and the two countries accounted for nearly half.
Europe and Japan ate the other half in large bites.
After that, the remaining few seats were divided among the lesser hunter countries similar to Korea.
Two seats for Korea.
It’s unmatched to be miserable.
Originally, Lee Hae-wan would have come, not me.
As a hunter belonging to Korea’s representative ‘Haetae’ guild.
The eyes of hunters from Vietnam, Taiwan, and Africa are hot.
I was enjoying the ball, but I felt wary.
It is because they are good opponents for each other.
There was also a gap between S-class hunters.
While the lower S-classes were exchanging glances, the upper-ranking S-classes were also burning their fighting spirit.
The US and China in particular were huge.
“It’s brutal.”
“This is the real power of S-classes. When I come here, I feel that I am nothing more than a frog in a well. After breaking through, I became humble even after returning to Korea.”
“Isn’t Sora-san also not allowed at the prom?”
“Can you see the hunters aiming for us? Those hunters are all S rank. He is an S-class Hunter notarized by the International Hunter Association. All three of them are stronger than me.”
“… We can’t just look at the country and ignore it.”
We passed the time enjoying the buffet.
There was no choice but to wait indefinitely until the presidents of the association started the next event.
Click-. Click-.
A sora took out her smartphone and took a picture of her buffet food.
The food prepared by one of the world’s top three famous chefs was unique from the start.
Hehe.”
Han So-ra sent a message to someone.
Several short chats with attached photos and videos that were just taken.
Ugh-. Ugh-. Ugh-.
Vibration came to my smartphone.
Every time Han So-ra pressed send, her smartphone rang.
“… Who are you sending that message to? Aren’t you a man?”
“What would you do if you were a man?”
“I’m thinking of sending it to Mr. Hae-wan.”
“Ah.”
This is a warning.
A warning not to be interested in other men but me.
One Sora needed to realize who she belonged to.
‘The Masked Man is Park Seon-woo and Park Seon-woo is the Masked Master, but Sora-san doesn’t know that.’
What Han So-ra is doing now is having an affair with her owner, a masked man.
If the masked man and Park Seon-woo were not the same person, Han So-ra would have been crossing her legs while meeting the two men.
Deserve to be punished.
‘… Are you really scolding me, Mr. Sora?’
She asked Petra for advice.
As long as her teaching progress reached almost 90%, how to deal with Sora, Petra told me that she punished me, not corporal punishment.
Neglect play.
From the moment I return to Korea, I plan to cut off exchanges and spend time.
If she uses her relationship with Park Seon-woo as a weapon and continues to tease me, I have no choice but to bully Han So-ra using the 「Teaching Assistant App」.
How will Han So-ra react after being almost abandoned by the masked man?
‘I’m looking forward to it.’
Not long after, Petra showed up at the ballroom.
Petra with brown hair and freckles.
The prophet, whom the world knows well, headed to the top table.
The hip-heavy old men welcomed Petra.
“Petra, I heard that you are not feeling very well. Still, it’s a gathering from all over the world, shouldn’t you show your face?”
Petra smiled awkwardly, as if the old people’s welcome was not welcome.
He was talking in English, but I couldn’t understand him at all.
Just as it was about to get boring, the head of the International Hunter Association drew the attention of the S-class hunters.
“Because I’m full…. Should everyone start?”
The corners of the mouths of the S-class hunters went up.
As if he had been waiting, he raised his speculation.
A ferocious spirit covered the training ground.
“First, put away the food.”
Every time the president of the International Hunter Association said a word, people came pouring in.
They were American Association employees.
They cleared the buffet as fast as they could.
A desolate ballroom.
Hunters from each country began to warm up.
Various languages were mixed.
The old people put their heads together and whispered.
It seemed as if they were conspiring with each other.
If you see him talking with his voice completely blocked, it might actually be so.
Petra looks this way.
She smiled and pretended to know.
I checked the condition of the ‘recognition-impairing mask’ I was wearing.
Wearing it properly
Even so, Petra recognized me correctly.
‘Is it because the teaching progress is high? How the hell am I going to find out?’
I couldn’t understand.
‘… No way.’
Even Han So had a formidable teaching progress.
Even if they recognized me, it wouldn’t be strange.
‘I guess not.’
He tried to deny it and took his gaze away from Han So-ra.
Standing next to Petra was Huey Reagan.
It seemed like an escort.
“Sora-san, am I also fighting S-class hunters?”
Of course, the atmosphere was flowing with the nuance that it should be.
I’m only a D-class hunter, sparring with an S-class hunter?
Isn’t Han So-ra the only one stepping out?
“Mr. Kamen participated as a representative of the Republic of Korea. You said it before.”
“… Am I the representative of Korea?”
“Yes, because I caught Lee Hae-wan.”
Han So-ra acted as if she knew that this situation was a duck.
Even so, he brought me here.
‘Are you trying to gauge my skills?’
I could feel the trust in me from Sora Han’s voice.
“If you have Mr. Mask’s skills, you should be able to win.”
“Can I win?”
“I believe in Mr. Mask.”
Only laughter came out.
‘So you were planning to kill me like this!’
I was out of breath.
She chose not to have a drop of blood on her own hands.
So-ra Han is trying to drive me into a corner by borrowing the hand of another hunter.
‘… Is it possible?’
What if ‘Unicorn’s Protection’ and ‘Bicorn’s Protection’ explode at the same time?
I dare to predict that the ability amplification will be doubled.
If so, I thought I would be able to compare it with an S-class Hunter.
I turned on my smartphone and looked through the Inventory of 「Training Assistant App」.
I looked at the information of the ‘Skill Copy Coupon’ tucked away in the corner, the ‘Skill Awakening Coupon’ and the ‘Skill Synthesis Coupon’ that I had recently obtained.
The ‘Skill Copy Coupon’ allows you to copy one skill of a ‘female’ who has achieved 100% teaching progress.
Currently, there is only one ‘female’ with 100% teaching progress among the women registered in my ‘Female Encyclopedia’, Petra Friedrich.
‘Let’s just check it once.’
What skills can be brought to Petra by using the ‘Skill Copy Coupon’?
The list went on and on.
Petra Friedrich’s exclusive property, ‘Revelation’, was also in place.
=====
[Revelation Lv.8]
─ One strand of many possibilities can be observed.
─ Consumes the user’s lifespan.
=====
Petra’s ‘Revelation’ was a whopping level 8.
As the skill level increased, the future observed became clearer and the price to be paid decreased.
Even so, it was a difficult skill to use.
‘… I’ll have to stop using it now.’
We don’t know how much Petra’s lifespan is left.
It appears to be alive, at least until Empress Pandora launches her invasion, but after that?
I’m not sure.
The future observed through ‘revelation’ is uncertain.
Observation does not fix the future.
Can’t do that
‘I have to believe that I can’t.’
Petra saw a future where the Earth would perish.
A future in which the future ‘Park Seon-woo’ is driven to the brink by Empress Pandora.
In order to change that future, I was given the 「Teaching Assistant App」 As a gift.
But is the future fixed because of ‘revelation’?
‘It’s true that I can’t.’
The future ‘Park Seon-woo’ would have known that.
So, I did this trick.
‘… I’m worried.’
I tried to copy something with a ‘skill copy coupon’.
But choosing one wasn’t easy.
It was all the more so because the opponent was an S-class hunter.
I think I will achieve 100% sooner or later.
Bringing ‘Brilliant Judgment’ would be really useful.
The same was true of ‘Skill Awakening Coupons’ and ‘Skill Synthesis Coupons’.
It really bothered me.
How to write and rumors that you wrote well, keep going.
“Are there any guys to start with?”
The head of the International Hunter Association looked around at the S-rank Hunters and asked.
I was able to understand the meaning thanks to Han So-ra’s immediate interpretation.
As soon as the president of the International Hunter Association finished speaking, the three raised their hands.
Vietnam S-rank Hunter, Taiwan S-rank Hunter, Africa S-rank Hunter.
Everyone was pointing at us.
“Korean hunters are popular.”
“Okay, let’s compete sometime. We won’t allow it.”
There was nowhere to run.
‘Wait a minute!’
Do I really need to use my coupons?
I have a weapon more powerful than a coupon in my hand?
I glanced at Han So-ra.
Even Han So seemed to be thinking the same thing as me.
