Leveling
Ch 154s

Journalists from all over the world come to Japan.

What is unusual is the fact that many of them are war journalists.

This is proof that the event that is happening is as dangerous as entering a battlefield.

Security around Gates has also become very tight.

The reporters held their cameras.

The military continues to surround Gates, which is about the size of a building.

There was a lot of tension around that could usually only be seen on the brink of war.

A prominent British correspondent, assistant to William Bell, was so nervous that he

he swallowed his mouth and asked,

"Why is the army here even though modern weapons are useless for monsters?"

Williams answered with a camera in front of each soldier.

"To give time"

"Yes?"

"By attracting attention, the frontline Hunters will get time to

preparing for attacks.They also serve as bait when residents evacuate"

clique.

The next face on camera is Matsumoto, chairman of the Japan Hunter Association.

He was talking seriously with the officials.

"But I can't laugh in this situation"

clique.

"Indeed..."

The assistant, who did not have much experience on the field, said with a strained eye.

"Cannon fodder .. you mean"

"Hey, you don't have to talk about other people's business"

"Yes?"

"If something's gonna happen to me, you're gonna have to stop me"

"Yes?"

When the young assistant turned around, Williams poked slightly to the side from his elbow.

"If you're so nervous, you'll die without being able to escape you'll have to calm down"

When he saw that he was squinting his eyes, assistant, who was aware of his words

just a joke, be calm.

'Bell ... Even in situations like this, you can still joke'

The assistant tension became a little relaxed.

But the assistant noticed something again.

When Williams Bell laughs, it's time to get really nervous.

The assistant's gaze then turned to Gates who was very tall.

"What's going to get out of there?"

He paused for a moment, and Williams looked to the same spot.

Huge.

The size itself is incredible.

After Gates first appeared, it instantly turned into a battleground

both reporters of war.

And he often goes for many Gates himself.

He even covered the scene of Dungeon Break ...

However, the Gates before him at the moment were actually on a different scale.

Just looking at the top of it, it had already made cold sweat flow from his forehead.

'Even a scout wasn't sent in there'

He wanted to look into the Dungeon but he wasn't even a Hunter, therefore, he was

don't even know what's in it.

Williams' lips moved.

"I don't know what's going to get out of there ..."

Then he laughed bitterly.

"Whatever it is, I hope Yuri Orlov is strong enough to hold it"

The last place his camera was panning was Yuri Orlov, who was inspecting the equipment.

Yuri smiled.

"Perfect, very good"

Yuri Orlov was confident in the outcome.

His own fate calculation is already very good.

'How about this?'

Matsumoto, the head of the association, was worried about the opposition of the people, who gave

many donations to Japanese associations, who thought that Yuri was a volunteer.

Thanks for that, a lot of money was collected.

Look there too.

Many journalists drive to this dangerous place to take photographs to

themselves.

Money and fame.

Everything that revolved around Yuri Orlov was rolled into a single attempt

at the same time.

He emphasized once again.

"Perfect!"

Today I will be the first human in the world to enter the Gates Rank-S alone.

"I want to hear the news if I am someone who can handle Gates Rank-S

alone ..."

Unfortunately, the Hunter, whose expression was much more suitable, came first, though,

and he can't be greedy. Note: very ambiguous word"

"But what about that?"

He was in the fighting section, and I was an additional assistant.

It is best to get their names in their respective fields.

‘Clang,clang’

Yuri, who was drunk, took out a handful of cans from her pocket and opened the lid.

The smell of vodka is smelled from the inside.

"You, Mr. Yuri! Alcohol is ..."

The associate staff, in charge of him, tried their hardest to calm him down, he said,

but Yuri Orlov did not comply.

"Let's toast.Take it easy.I'll show you the best show"

"But .. that"

"Do you want a drink too? Relax"

Chief Matsumoto, who stared at Yuri Orlov from end to end, then offered alcohol to

his staff, frowned.

"The future of our country depends on the man"

As he drinks touching his tongue, Matsumoto asks his servant.

"How many S-Rank Hunters have answered?"

"All, three"

"Three people ..."

Only three out of ten Rank-S Hunters responded to the association's call.

Matsumoto's wrinkle became deeper.

Its influence has sunk since the Jeju island Raid brought disaster to the system

Hunter Japan.

Some say that Matsumoto is blinded by greed and drive

the S-Rank Hunters to their own graves.

Therefore, the majority of S-Rank Hunters had already turned their backs on him.

As long as he was the Chairman of the association, he made a hard-line policy not to

follow clear association instructions.

'If Ryuji Goto were here ...'

Hand, clenching, shaking.

Goto's death was a painful loss for Matsumoto who used it

as his right arm.

'That's because of me'

Today is more important.

If the Hunter Association's efforts could prevent Gates Rank-S in Jeju, it would be possible as well

to resolve this emergency.

"And Go Gun-Hee .. and then Sung Jin-Woo."

Then there will be an opportunity to return disgrace to those who have corrupted

my way.

"It has to be ..."

Surely so.

Chairman Matsumoto looked at Gates with a serious expression.

The officer who checked the time told him while whispering:

"Dungeon Break will happen in three minutes"

"I know"

Matsumoto nodded.

His views that led to Gates were filled with many thoughts.

2 Minutes, 1 minute, 59 seconds, 58 seconds ...

Time passes slowly.

Then the black curtain that blocked Gates began to blur.

The journalists shouted.

"Oh, huh?"

"Gates open!"

"I ... I'm out!"

* * *

Jin Woo, who will wake up, sit down again.

"Huh?"

Jin Woo's mother who was watching TV stared back at her son.

In the news, news about the Gates Rank-S Japan continued to flow from before.

Those were the stories that were a few minutes left until Dungeon Break occurred.

"Do you want to go somewhere else?"

His mother's senses were sometimes sharper than those of the high-ranking Hunger senses.

Jin Woo replied while pretending to be naive but relaxed.

"I have an appointment"

"A Promise? On this day?"

"I made an appointment earlier and I didn't cancel it because Gates was open

in Japan, so it doesn't seem to affect my plans"

His mother still doubts.

But it's not a lie.

'This is actually a promise with the system'

His mother, who was staring at him silently, said again.

"Don't make your mom worry"

Jin Woo confidently replied.

"Yes"

Strength is what Jin Woo is trying to achieve.

The mother who faced Jin Woo's confident eyes, then smiled.

"Be careful"

Jin Woo smiled and replied.

"I'll be home soon"

Jin Woo then leaves the house.

Jin Woo's house is on the 9th floor.

And she realized for the first time today that her elevator was going down slowly.

All because he was already expecting Gates for the black key to be unlocked, and it was

makes him very nervous.

Ting -

The elevator door opens on the first floor.

The man who was waiting for the first time raised his head involuntarily

and looked into Jin Woo's eyes.

He had no idea that Rank-S Hunter was living in his apartment, so when he recognized

Jin Woo he opened his eyes wide.

"Uh?"

Jin Woo passed by her and put on his headscarf.

His mind was in a hurry, and his pace was also quick.

Just outside the apartment complex, Jin Woo went out into the street and looked around.

‘What is it because of the Gates that appeared in Japan?’

The whole street is empty.

Thanks to that, Jin Woo can use the black key without worrying about his surroundings.

[Item: Key to the Cartelon Temple]

[Rarity: ???]

[Type: Key]

[Your requirements have been met]

[This is the key to entering the Cartelon temple.It can be used in the designated Gates]

[Determined Gates location will be released after a certain period of time]

[Time remaining: 0 hours 01 minutes 02 seconds]

[The remaining time is one minute]

[.. done]

Jin Woo's heart, which had been quiet until now, began to slowly shake.

Ba dum, Ba dum, Ba dum

Jin Woo silently listens to the heartbeat while waiting for the remaining minutes.

He didn't even have to check his watch.

A widely trained body physiological clock is more accurate than any clock in the world.

'... 3, 2, 1'

Just a minute later, Jin Woo opened his closed eyes.

Ring ~

[Time remaining: 0 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds]

[Location Gates where keys can be used revealed]

Jin Woo's eyes grew bigger seeing the message.

"Here ...?"

Gates' position appearing in the system message is not far from here.

It's a place Jin Woo is known for.

Jin Woo then searches to the association's website using one of his mobile apps and

got the Gates information he was looking for.

And, that was in line with what he expected.

It was the place where the association had noticed that Gates was appearing

a while ago.

But he did not think this was the place to use the key item.

As if he was being beaten, his thoughts became absurd.

‘It's just an illusion’

The key is not wrong.

The system says that Gates' information will be released at this point, but he's not

said that Gates would be instantly made at this point.

Jin Woo is hit.

His hands were busy with his phone.

When he saw Gates' information, there was a guild that had already done a Raid.

And his Gates rank is C.

'The rate is not high ...'

The problem is that Jin Woo has no idea what is hidden inside.

'I'm glad it's not too far from here'

It only took 10 minutes by car to where Gates was.

If Jin Woo runs, he can arrive in 60 seconds.

Jin Woo, then put on 『Stealth』 and started running as fast as he could.

Skill 『Celerity』 has increased its speed.

The goal is the high school playground where Jin Ah goes to school.

After the Orc incident, the school was closed and the case has not been settled.

"The Raid Team is in danger."

Jin Woo remembers the first time he visited this temple.

What a thrilling moment.

He remembered how many times his life was in danger back then.

'But why?'

It was a thrilling reminder, but he still felt uneasy when he thought about it.

At the temple, Jin Woo feels alive for the first time.

At the time, he was acting not as an incompetent Rank-E Hunter, but as

a challenger to the impossible.

Then....

Jin Woo can see the familiar school after turning a few alleys

in a flash.

He actually arrived at the inner school quickly.

JIn Woo then walks over the front gate and sees Gates on the side of the playground.

Around Gates, several members of the association and guild staff stood guard.

The atmosphere was calm because they had not heard that the big day had not yet arrived.

That calmness was broken by Jin Woo's appearance.

Jin Woo released his 『Stealth』.

"Oh, huh?"

When they saw Jin Woo approaching, the guild officials blocked his path.

"You can't go inside"

Jin Woo took off his hood and showed his face.

Then there was a sound from the side.

"You!"

An associate employee who recognized Jin Woo spoke.

It was the female worker wearing the glasses she met while handling Gates Rank-B

on the road before.

Jin Woo, who is not surprised from the confrontation, ignores the staff members and soon

telling him.

"You have to stop this Raid now"

"What..?"

He said with shame.

"But the measurement results are only Rank-C ..."

Jin Woo said calmly.

"If you don't stop now, everyone will die"

"...!"

Jin Woo then lifted his head and looked at Gates.

"Did they not feel it?"

Inside the Gates, there was an ominous aura flowing out.
