Leveling
Ch 197's

Lose.

One word he thought would never come out of his mouth again.

Thomas whose head was filled with that one word finally opened his eyes.

He is currently in the hospital.

"When was the last time I needed to go to the hospital?"

Unlike Jin Woo, who is always in and out of the hospital while living his life

as Hunter, Thomas never entered the hospital after he became Hunter.

And who can guess if the fight between the Hunter who was once a

Rank-E fighting against the state power Hunter Class will end like this?

Of course, regardless of what Jin Woo's past was like, the person who suffered the most for the results

this battle was Thomas Andre himself.

'I ... completely defeated’

Thomas lifted his body with an empty face.

No, No, No.

The keyboard sounds stopped.

Thomas's gaze then turned towards the direction the voice had sounded before.

There, Laura, the main manager of the Scavengers Guild, was sitting in a not-so-distant place

away from her.

The tip of his finger is still on top of the notebook keyboard, as if it can not be separated from it.

"Isn't that a problem?"

"...Yeah"

Thomas shifted his gaze and rubbed his chin.

I can predict how much time has passed

counting the growth of my beard.

Should I be happy or not because of this?

My beard didn't grow as I imagined.

"More than a day?"

"Yes"

Laura was someone who always answered briefly.

The doctor who examined Thomas' condition earlier told Laura that

Thomas will only wake up after a few weeks, but it's not right.

After all, the doctor is not a Hunter specialist and he only concluded with

look at Thomas's condition before.

Anyways.

What I should be is a good thing if Thomas wakes up in just a day after

such a diagnosis, and whether there was anything wrong with Thomas from waking up

quickly enough??

Laura was confused and stood by Thomas' bedside.

"Should I call a doctor?"

"No, don't"

Thomas rubbed his head as he rubbed the bloody temple.

The shock when he hit his head with his head was still obvious.

It was a terrible pain that I didn't want to think about at the time.

"There's no point in calling the doctor"

"But..... Shouldn't your body be examined at times like these?"

Thomas then asked.

"What happened to Hwang?"

Laura, who was biting her lips, could not answer and simply shook her head.

"...That"

Thinking of something for a while, Thomas immediately changed his question

after realizing that this one question is quite difficult to answer.

"What other damage has happened to the Guild?"

"There were many casualties, but thanks to the quick response of 『Biro Hunter』, everything has recovered"

Thomas' voice, trying to remain calm, rose after hearing Laura's reply.

"Nobody died?"

"Yes.Tell"

"..."

His astonishment soon turned to amazement.

Thomas then swallowed his moans.

The fact that no one was killed despite the fierce fighting going on, that meant

the opponent held his full strength.

It was an incredible and crushing defeat.

From the beginning, it was just a one-sided battle.

Thomas at the moment.

Filled with admiration.

Thomas who was previously overconfident with his powers was defeated, and he

it's afraid that he and his own Guild members will be killed by the only Jin Woo

single-handedly.

But, that did not happen, and all just ended up with the embarrassment that Guilds had to accept.

Although the impact for Thomas was greater because he always considered power and strength

as a justice.

But - but

Butwhy?

I was completely defeated, but, why don't I feel bad.

I don't want to know what my difference is with the opponent.

I don't even feel angry with the opponent who defeated me, me either

don't want to beat him again at this time.

'No, more precisely ...'

Thomas began to sink into his mind and that was when Laura approached while holding out

little box to Thomas.

It's a glasses case.

"...?"

When Thomas received the box from her while continuing to wonder, Laura replied.

"Your black glasses that I picked up in that place are broken and I can't

fix it again"

Clik.

Inside the box, there were new glasses from the brand that Thomas liked.

Grab -

Thomas, who laughed, wore the glasses given to him.

"You always know you make me happy"

'Looks like that, thank God'

Laura, who was previously worried, sighed lightly in response to the response

Thomas is calm.

"That's my job"

Thomas, quietly gazed to a distant place, and then said quietly.

"Hwang ... Give him the best funeral.Only for our staff only"

"Good"

"Dan"

"And...?"

Laura, who was writing a note of what Thomas said in his notebook,

raised head.

"For Hunter Sung Jin Woo,Guild Scavengers ... No, I'm telling you, if I were, Thomas Andre,

officially apologized to him"

* * *

[Protect the Hunters]

Why did Miss Selner say that to me?

Jin Woo has a strange face.

"... Why are you asking for my help?"

Mrs Selner, who looked confused, had to explain where to start

slowly open his mouth.

"In the recurring dreams I had, I tried to remember their faces

the one who hunts the Hunters.But it's useless.Every time I wake up, everything I remember

only their faces were black ---

Therefore, I decided to use another method.And that is

check it out a lot of people"

"And then you saw someone when you saw me?"

"really"

Selner confessed.

Ba dum ,Ba dum.

Jin Woo's heart was boosted because of that.

Then - later

What did Miss Selner find in me that frightened her?

Well, the story's not over.

Jin Woo, who suppressed his curiosity, continued to listen to Mrs Selner's words.

"I saw endless power in my dreams and I was forced to wake up when I met

Jin Woo's eyes narrowed.

His hands were also trembling slightly.

"When my eyes met her eyes, I still remember voices

that sounds from 'That'"

Jin Woo raised his head quickly.

The director heard the story, and Adam translated Mrs Selner's words

I also have a nervous face.

Jin Woo then asked.

"What did he say?"

"Return .. and wait for the war to happen"

Jin Woo recalled the memories he had seen before.

The sound of a dream is clearer than any sound he hears in reality.

However, unlike Miss Selner who was frightened, Jin Woo knew that word 'war'

it was an important clue for him.

'This is the same as the giant Monarch said'

The Battle between the Rulers and the Monarch.

The giant monarch previously said.

They are preparing for war.

The Rulers are preparing for war.

Then - then

Which one is hunting the Hunters right now?

Jin Woo then remembered that he had not heard the answer to his first question.

Jin Woo asked again.

"But what does this have to do with your request to protect the Hunters?"

"... I feel the same power in you, Hunter"

Hearing the words spoken by Mrs Selner carefully, Jin Woo's eyes widened.

The Shadow Monarch's.

Lady Selner must have seen the power of the Shadow Monarch that was inside me that day.

And he also saw the same power on some of the top-ranked Hunters.

'... Monarch'

Jin Woo's face hardened.

Mrs Selner then quickly explained when she saw Jin Woo's expression become strange.

"They are more than just hunters.And we need a Hunter with strength

the same to prevent them..."

The director who was listening quietly cut off the conversation.

"Actually, we've doubted the story of where the Hunter class powers the state

we can't survive except with the help of Hunter Sung Jin Woo ..."

"But suddenly the place happened"

The battle that took place between Jin Woo and Thomas yesterday changed the perspective

『Biro Hunter』 with great.

The director who could not dodge then replied gently.

"You're right"

Yesterday,『Biro Hunter』 learned the difference between Jin Woo and other Hunters.

It was a regrettable accident, but also a discovery of hope

very dreamt.

Those who could kill a country-class Hunter were simply Hunters with a powerful force

equal to them.

Therefore,『Biro Hunter』 desperately needs Jin Woo's help at this time.

For the United States, which has lost the Hunter power of their country, Thomas is

objects they must protect no matter what.

"Of course, we'll also give you whatever Hunter Sung Jin Woo wants as

terms"

"Whatever I want"

America today has the best treasure left behind by the worst disasters

mankind,Karmish.

So, the new proposal 『Biro Hunter』 is not a disadvantage for Jin Woo.

Therefore, instead of bothering to issue a proposal that will be rejected, let him

choosing what he wanted as a condition to help protect the strongest forces

owned by the United States.

That's the conclusion of 『Biro Hunter』 after Chris' death.

"..."

Jin Woo kept his mouth shut tightly and felt confused.

Mrs Selner had already told her what she saw to help with the decision

Jin Woo was before.

And it is said that there are Hunter hunters in this world who have great power.

And right now, one of the Hunters who has sustained the world with their own strength

been killed.

If all those Hunters of that class disappeared, the world would not be able to survive.

After a moment of worry, Jin Woo replied.

"...Sorry"

The Director's eyes widened after hearing a clear rejection of his proposal.

"Do you have a personal grudge against Hunter Thomas Andre..."

Jin Woo shook his head.

"No"

One of the reasons Jin Woo made this decision was :

"I don't know the enemy I'm going to fight"

No matter what their identity is, Jin Woo has never met them at all

even if.

"It's no wonder you can't promise to protect the Hunters from an enemy who

you don't know"

Jin Woo still can't promise anything for now, whether he wants to or not.

"I'll see the situation first"

"And I'll figure it out in my usual way"

Jin Woo's unique calmness hasn't changed at all, it's still the same as when he

enter the Double Dungeon for the first time.

And fortunately, there were many Shadow Soldier's who could provide accurate information

to Jin Woo.

If he puts a shadow on Hunter who wants to be protected by 『Biro Hunter』, Jin Woo

can overcome the movements of the Hunter hunters immediately.

Then - later

Jin Woo raised his head, and imagined the actions he would take later.

* * *

Chairman of the Korean Hunter Association.

Go Gunhee always has a busier day than anyone else.

"It"

Wasn't this a big fight between the S-Rank Hunter and Thomas Andre the day before

The International Guild Conference begins?

After he read the article, Gunhee focused on the information released by

『Biro Hunter』.

The investigation revealed that it was Scavengers' fault, and they were too

saying if Jin Woo will not be harmed over this matter.

Huh -

Then, the head of the association, Go Gunhee, sat in his chair.

"I don't know what will happen if my Rank-S country is trapped in the United States"

Anyways.

'Wait...'

And then, who is the one who can beat up this S-Rank Hunter?

On the front page of the article, there is a photo of Thomas Andre who has fainted.

And seeing that, the crazy ideas in Go Gunhee's mind started popping up, he then

laughingly.

'Maybe ... Maybe it's useless'

Ha ha ha ha's.

He laughed for a while and Gunhee suddenly felt thirsty and started looking for water.

And the water bottle was on the table a little away from his desk.

"..."

Gunhee focused on the water bottle and tried to grab it.

Then, the water bottle flew into his hand. Note : fu*k ??????

Tap -

He reached for the water bottle skillfully and then opened the lid, and drank it

while showing a big smile.

When Woo Jin-cheol returns, there are definitely many more interesting stories I can listen to

while sitting down relaxed.

Ha ha ha ha's.

I got the reward after forcing Woo Jin-cheol to follow Hunter Sung Jin Woo.
