Leveling
Ch 113s

The mass media is hungry for information.

["The two countries are working together to form an alliance in order to combat the monsters that turned Jeju Island into a barren land!"]

What other news can stimulate the curiosity of many people more than this?

On TV, related programs are aired every day, and the front page of the newspaper

it always contains news about the Korea-Japan alliance.

But only Korea is excited about it.

Although the number of Japanese Hunters participating in the operation was more

out of the three-fold Korean Hunter, no one noticed how strange it was

the Japanese media movement.

Even the Japanese comment on some articles discussing the alliance

most are just negative.

What would you do if Gates closed down?

Why should we help dispose of Korean filth?

What do you do to compensate ants? Note: da hell

The incompetent Japan Hunter Association and the irresponsible Korean Hunter.

If you've all been together on Jeju Island ......

At the same time.

While many people voice their opinions, time goes on

approaching the day of operation.

Meanwhile.

For Jin Woo, these are his happiest days since his mother began hospitalization.

A lot has changed at the moment.

First, he went home with his mother who was repatriated.

Creack -

When Jin Woo opens the door, he sees Jin Ah - who was left alone when Jin Woo

being in the Demon Castle - it had completely ruffled their home.

"..."

The mother must stop Jin Woo, who pulls Jin Ah's cheek with a smile.

Jin Woo, who pulled Jin Ah's cheeks loudly, laughed with his mother.

After four years of unconsciousness, her mother came home and the first thing she did

it's cleaning the house.

Jin Woo can't help his mother's stubbornness, and the whole family begins to see each other

helps to clean the house.

After they finished cleaning the house, the three of them showed satisfied faces.

After his mother left the hospital, Jin Woo felt that the house was lonely

every day it was finally filled with color.

After a long time, he was now finally able to stretch his legs without worry

about anything.

And the next morning, Jin Woo came out into the living room with his eyes wide open.

She could feel the fact that her mother was back when she saw breakfast on the table.

Park Kyung-hye, who is chopping onions, looks at Jin Woo and asks

"Do you sleep well, son?"

Jin Woo smiled and replied with a half-asleep face.

"... Yeah"

***

An expert said something on television.

"The rate of evolution that these ant-type monsters showed was truly amazing"

The guest next to the expert asked with a curious look.

“What evolution? Aren't the ants found in Japan just a variation of them?"

"Yes, and as more and more variants, as well as the control of the whole group, we call it evolution"

Then the prepared image came out.

It was the appearance of the ant monsters photographed in the first and second operations.

When they first appeared, they crawled on the floor like normal ants.

On the surface, it was no less than an ant of a very large size.

But after a while.

“This is the appearance of ants taken in the third phase of operation"

The Ant Monster walked upright like a human.

Their large heads became much smaller, they became more agile, and their four legs were

the remaining can be used like a hand.

It looked like a Hybrid Ant (ants and humans mixed into one).

In just two years, the species' characteristics have changed a lot.

"And this is a picture of a new ant, which caused great damage to Japan"

Wow -

The audience watching the video was shocked.

Surprisingly, the ants looked more like humans, and their upper bodies had large wings.

The comedian present as a guest was shocked and raised his voice.

"That can fly?"

"It is also a defining moment for the Korea-Japan alliance team"

The Korea-Japan alliance team.

Jin Woo silently turned off the TV when the word came out.

Jin Woo doesn't want to be involved in this operation.

When he was invited to participate by the Chairman of the Gun-Hee Association, he was happy because

his request of chivalry and the fact that he could gain more EXP.

But.

The excitement quickly subsided.

Then he understood his current situation more objectively and level-headedly.

'It hasn't been a day since my mom woke up'

Her mother did not even know that her son had become a Hunter.

And when Jin Woo hears that his father is missing at Gates, he remembers if his mother

stayed up all night for months waiting for him to come home.

That's why Jin Woo can't just say that he's going to Jeju Island.

He couldn't tell his mother.

Jin Woo wants to stay with his family for at least a few days.

Jin Woo doesn't want to leave those important days behind.

"I ..."

Jin Woo had trouble answering.

"... I won't participate"

There are more important things than EXP.

And that was also the reason why he developed his strength from the start.

There is no regret in that choice.

Meanwhile, the,

Why is Sung Jin Woo not on the Korean team list?

Shouldn't he be there? Rank-E remains Rank-E forever.

He seemed to have escaped while peeing in his pants.

The Japanese participated by dispatching all of their S-Rank Hunters, which numbered

21 People, while Korea sent 7 of their S-Rank Hunters including a pensioner

Ariston ... But what about Sung Jin Woo?

Are you a Rank-S Hunter?

I feel ashamed of it.

But Jin Woo did not care about the many negative comments from netizens directed

to him, who did not even know his current situation.

However, his sister was stressed because of that.

‘My mother and I don't care what others say, my mother doesn't use the internet

so it's okay‘

But Jin Ah seemed to care about these things.

Tsk -

Jin Woo clicked his tongue and put down his phone.

There is no choice but to wait for the right time.

His mother went to bed early, and his sister had not come home.

Just as Jin Woo was about to come out to seek new air, his phone shook violently.

Jin Woo looked at the caller's name and smiled.

Click -

"Hyugnyim! It´s me! Yoo Jin - ho!"

“Uh.Jin ho"

Come to think of it, does he still live in a Motel?

“Where are you now? Is it still at the motel?"

"No,hyungnim.I just got a new place.Fortunately, my mother called me ..."

Jin Woo heard her laugh and he was happy to hear her.

Then Yoo Jin-ho quickly says if he wants to meet Jin Woo.

"Hyungnim.Can you come see me at the office?"

'Whose office are you talking about?'

"Office?"

When Jin Woo asked in a skeptical voice, Yoo Jin-ho replied with excitement.

"That's our guild's office! Hyungnim, if you want to create a guild, you have to have an office"

Yoo Jin-ho wins, this hoot ... He seems to have the ambition to create a guild and

becoming his vice president, and it seemed like he wanted to turn these Guilds into large Guilds

like Hunters and Baekho.

Jinwoo scratched his chin.

'People will be surprised to learn that I am the only one who will

become a member of his Raid'

to explain the kind of guild he dreamed of to Jin Ho.

***

"What do you think of hyungnim?"

As usual, Jin Ho said very excitedly.

Jin Woo looked at the inside of the office and nodded.

A good location.

"I chose the best place and not far from your house"

Greatable.

“I got it first as my first sales office.Isn't there a saying for

put new wine into old bottle,hyungnim?”

New wine in old bottle .....

Old wine in a new bottle.

That's clearly wrong.

The word has a broad meaning.

‘...’

"I will make our guild a guild that surpasses the five great Guilds,hyungnim!"

Yoo Jin-ho is burning with passion.

'It's good to encourage yourself, but I want you to leave me alone ...'

Jin Woo was very worried.

He wondered if he should ask Jin ho to return to the Yoo Jin Guild.

He didn't think the chairman - who even blocked his son's account - would accept it.

Seeing the look on Jin Woo's face - which was daydreaming - Jin ho's expression faded.

"Hyunjinemke ... Don't you like it?"

"... Yeah" (. no, I like that)

"Can we go in, hyungnim?"

"... Yeah"

The monthly rent was quite large, but compared to the guild's income, it was very little.

"It should be okay to let the dream live for now"

Jin Woo can't say that he will be the only one using

this office is in the future.

"Aah"

Yoo Jin-ho claps his hand.

"And who will you recruit, hyungnim?"

"Who else?"

Isn't there an appointment about the reservation?

When Jin Woo - who rarely forgets his promise - gives a curious look, the,

Jin Ho was excited to explain.

"When you first create a guild, you should have at least three Hunters, hyungnim"

Guildmaster, Guildmaster Representative, employee.

Is this the minimum amount for the founding members?

It seems to have nothing to do with the fact that the minimum number of members for

going Raid to Gate Rank-E is three as well.

"I don't want the guild to actually do a Raid for Gates Rank-E ..."

He is a founding member.

Then every face of his acquaintance is protruding in Jin Woo's head.

Who will be the last member?

The conditions must be a Hunter.

And if they are willing to act, they should be able to fill the empty space.

‘Why a woman's face appears ... ... ...'

Han Songyi who surrendered becomes a Hunter, or Lee Joo-Hee who returns to Busan, the,

a moment appeared in his mind and disappeared.

Min Byung-goo's?

later then.

"Hmmm"

Jin Ho opened his mouth.

Jin Woo asked.

"Is there anyone who fits?"

“No,hyungnim.There was a man looking for you before"

"Me?"

"Yes,hyungnim"

Jin Woo showed interest.

It's weird to contact Jin ho instead of contacting me directly.

That person seemed to be trying to complicate the matter by looking for me through Jin ho.

'Jin ho himself has never met him in person'

At best, they were just a civil servant and a mechanic.

"Stay, why is he looking for me through Jin ho?"

Jin Woo's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Who?"

"I don't know, hyungnim.He is a foreigner who speaks English

for a while"

Yoo Jin-ho pulls out a note from his wallet.

"She said she wanted you to call her because she was in Korea until the 17th"

There were only two cell phone numbers and hotel room numbers on the note Jin Woo received.

Jin Woo turns it over, but nothing is written there anymore.

'17, that's 3 days from now ...'

He is a foreigner who speaks English.Who is he?

Jin Woo doesn't remember any of them having friends from abroad.

But all of a sudden this happens, who is that person ......

"I have to go home"

Jin Woo's face hardened.

"Yes? Don't you want to come in, hyungnim?"

Yoo Jin-ho, who is happy to have dinner with Jin Woo after a long time, is happy,

it looked as if it had lost its power.

But Jin Woo doesn't understand Jin ho's feelings.

"I'll see you again, later"

Yoo Jin-ho hides his disappointment and bends his waist as usual.

Without any sign of disappointment, Jin ho immediately lowered his head as if he was

always does.

"Be careful on the road, .. hyungnim?"

When he looked up, Jin Woo had already disappeared.

***

As darkness falls between the alleys.

Eun Ji-min's heart pounded as she was about to return to her home.

'Maybe it's just my feeling ...'

A man was trailing behind her.

Maybe we're just on the same road, so I have no choice but to keep going.

'But I seem to have seen it on the news'

This kind of situation is very difficult to deal with whether it is a man or a woman.

The man behind him walked faster as if chasing after him.

Eun ji-min kept walking.

I fear.

I suspect he was following me on purpose.

Besides, if I turn this corner, there's a dark hallway with broken street lights,

that would put me in danger.

Eun Ji-min looks back.

The man, who was wearing a hat and lowered his head, moved silently.

Wearing a hat is not a sin even though it is suspicious.

In a situation like this, I would first ...

Eun Ji-min stopped walking while pretending to tie her shoelaces,

and the man just passed through it.

"Huft—"

When the man disappeared, Eun ji-min heaved a sigh of relief.

As if praying, he put his hands together and closed his eyes.

'Sorry I suspected you, Uncle'

While looking around, Eun Ji-min smiled and walked quickly again.

I have a lot of work to do!

I'm running out of time to prepare for the final exam.

'How far is my house?'

Eun Ji Min's eyes, as she turned around, grew bigger.

"IF YOU WIN, YOU DIE"

The man who passed him earlier, was currently holding a knife in front of him,

*

"Do you know how many people died here?"

"Ah… "

Eun Ji-min was silent and frozen with a pale blue face.

The man smiled as he lowered his white mask

"Follow me"

Tuk, Tuk

The broken street lights lit up without anyone around.
