The American delegation arrived and a welcome ceremony was held on the first day. The president had deep discussions with the vice president and senators on various issues, and the hunters included in the delegation took a break while looking around Seoul.

The next day, the President, the Awakening Security Office, and I from the Republic of Korea side, and high-ranking officials from the US delegation gathered and started a briefing on the process of hunting nuri.

From the initial process to respond to the nuri, the bidding process, and my departure to hunt the nuri were explained.

The vice president said that the United States is busy gathering power, and lifted the Awakening Power of the Republic of Korea.

After explaining the hunting process of the avant-garde guild, the story moved on to the part where I intervened.

“We were lucky to have saved the avant-garde guild.”

Rather than arriving early, the avant-garde guild held up well.

Both the orderly retreat of the avant-garde and Lee Chan-taek’s choice to open the way out burst into laughter.

After that, I explained about Nuri’s hunting process. He talked about the fact that he thought the monster’s weakness was the head, so he insisted on aiming at the head, and he pointed out that it was difficult to get close to the gift, the blade storm, because Nuri was picky.

At my words, the faces of the Americans hardened. For a moment they chatted among themselves, and then the Vice President asked me in a cautious voice.

“…are you sure the demons are using the gift?”

I didn’t even pretend to listen, but when I was next to him, I translated it into Korean and he answered.

“Certainly.”

“There have been several suspicious cases in my home country, but I am not sure. I wonder why Junho Choi is so confident.”

You’re pretty annoying.

After thinking for a while, I explained why.

It perfectly blocked the number of times I enjoyed it when I hit the head, and at first I thought it was the pure hardness of the leather. However, he said later that he saw that a thin film of force was formed in front of Nuri’s head to disperse the shock.

I saw it myself and felt it, what more can I say?

“··········!”

They all looked surprised when they heard that demons were using the Force.

Anna Christine asked.

“Junho, is that true?”

“It’s true. Even after being hit in the head more than 30 times, I survived.”

“Thirty times, all the heads?”

“All in the head.”

“…a head breaker as well.”

Why are you looking tired? Shouldn’t we be amazed?

Anyway, even after defeating Nuri, he continued to attack only the head, and the force operation was weak, so he explained that he finished it by piercing the skin and damaging the brain.

I didn’t even mention that I was trying to tam it with brainwashing. It’s not pleasant to share the experience of failure.

“It’s amazing!”

James Reed, who was listening, burst into admiration over and over again. By the way, the word “zola” is more squishy than Koreans from where she learned it.

Seeing the organized data, the vice president smiled satisfied.

“During this Nuri hunting, I was able to see that the monster was using the force and opening the gift. In my home country, this has allowed me to conduct a more in-depth analysis. Thank you for your cooperation”

“We did what we were supposed to do as an ally.”

Before this was negotiated, before tearing up one more of each other, the war of nerves wasn’t a joke.

I just watched the politicians exchange words in a friendly way. Seeing the fierce calculations coming and going even in that atmosphere, I thought that being a politician is a very difficult job.

After that, the order went smoothly.

There were so many people who had a lot to say, so I had little to say because each one added a word. It’s also convenient to be among people who talk a lot.

Before welcoming the delegation, members of the National Assembly also requested that they also attend the meeting, but I thought the conversation would have been longer if they had participated.

What are you talking about for so long with no nutritional value? I think it would be more efficient to find a hidden villain at this time and break one more head.

In the meantime, the president wanted to be provided with the American smart hunting system while sharing Nuri’s hunting process. In response, the Vice President said he would think positively and offered to make a suggestion to his home country, so it was actually a refusal.

Is the smart hunting system that great? I’ll have to ask Cheon Myung-guk later.

It was about the time the meeting was slowly coming to an end, amidst such a friendly and fierce battle of nerves under the water.

Suddenly, James Reed raised his hand.

“I want to hang out with Junho once, can’t we?”

“·················ogue.”

All eyes were focused on me. Whether in Korea or the United States, people’s faces were full of anticipation. Chun Myeong-guk Why are you closing your eyes tightly alone?

The order came to me.

If the opponent was Zhang Zidong, I would have accepted it willingly, but I was asked to be respectful towards the United States.

“It’s not difficult to stick with. You will have to hang your neck instead.”

“Oh!”

James Reed smiled brightly. Even though it was covered with clothes, he could see his muscles twitching.

After all, are you the type that pursues actual combat rather than life?

In this way, the United States will also lose one superman. If the Superman rushes forward with all his might, he has no intention of saving himself.

But what came next was something I didn’t expect.

“It’s scary! Then I won’t.”

“Isn’t it?”

“I don’t! I am not willing to take any risks!”

“·················ogue.”

I wanted to open my head to see who taught him Korean.

Anyway, the atmosphere heated up by James Reed’s evasion quickly stabilized.

Seeing Cheon Myeong-guk bluntly relieved, his heart was slightly twisted.

Kim is missing.

After the Nuri hunting briefing, a full-fledged exchange battle began. It was the beginning of a match between promising Americans who had crossed the sea and students from Class A of Seoul Academy.

The United States was indeed a pool of talents that deserved the title of the world’s most powerful country even after the appearance of monsters.

Overall, his skill level was higher, but he also had a sense of action. As the country is so wide and overflowing with monsters, even the awakened underage had to go hunting periodically in the name of learning.

On the other hand, the Seoul Academy students lag behind in their practical sense. Nevertheless, it was not greatly pushed back thanks to the method of thoroughly aiming for weaknesses and the bold hand that sometimes even bears losses.

Yang Joo-hyuk played the biggest role in the exchange match. This guy ate something wrong and rushed like a madman, completely breaking his opponent’s will. And the methods of targeting weaknesses were also relentless. If you strip away your identity as a student, you’re a villain.

Ttttttt, a villain. It’s terribly cowardly.

…but come to think of it, I was the one who taught that.

It was engraved evenly on the guy’s body, but he learned it while being hit, so he crushed the opponent very viciously and overwhelmingly.

“Kyahahahaha!”

Still, he looked at me with a bizarre smile. What is the next country? If it’s open, I’ll have to step on it properly.

The result of the exchange match was overall inferior to Korea, but it was not a disappointing result considering that it competed with the world’s most powerful talent.

Right now, the American delegation was busy talking with each other with surprised faces. I guess I was thinking of a more overwhelming victory.

Even though I was defeated, I was not in a bad mood as I watched.

Is this the feeling of a master looking at his disciple?

I want to rejoice in my disciple’s victory, and when I lose, I want to break in and break the opponent’s neck.

This is the master’s heart.

When the exchange was over, Anna Christine approached.

“Jun Ho.”

“What’s going on?”

“Do we talk only if there is a business between us?”

By the way, this is the third time I’ve met Anna Christine, and the total time they talked was less than 3 minutes.

Even though she pretended to be close, she was a strange woman.

“I was convinced by the meeting today.”

“What are you sure?”

“I am confident in Junho’s ability. In fact, I have had confidence since level 8 measurements, but I have gained confidence in my convictions.”

This woman’s Korean skills were unusual.

One of the things that annoys me the most is the ambiguity.

What were you sure of? It was hard to tell if he was doing that knowingly or because he was not fluent in Korean.

“I’ll see you later. Let’s talk.”

With those words, he quietly disappeared.

After the exchange war, the American delegation gathered in one place. Everyone’s faces hardened lightly.

Today’s schedule was quite a shock to them. Nuri’s hunting process and the result of the exchange battle were a series of surprises. Korean students with more real-world experience and strong writing did better. There was talk of solidifying the alliance while saying that Korea’s future is bright.

Above all, they were most surprised by Choi Jun-ho, whom they cared about the most.

The Vice President looked at James Reed and asked.

“How was it?”

“Very frightening, swift, and unstoppable.”

James Reed, who spoke funny Korean, answered in a calm voice.

“The skill is unmistakably a superman. Even if I face it in person, I can’t guarantee the win.”

“Huh!”

“Then do you think it’s right to catch Nuri?”

“Yes, there are some things missing in the middle, but they are true.”

“I knew it.”

It is said that a superman alone catches a Relic Level 8 monster. It was hard to believe even hearing it right in front of you. In particular, it was one of the strongest monsters among the ten that have appeared so far. It was something that would overturn common sense for a human to catch it alone.

Rather, it is strange to reveal everything in detail. The vice president and other top officials thought there was a secret here. A hidden gift, or an undisclosed helper.

If he hunted alone, it means that Choi Jun-ho’s skills are far above him, and if there is an assistant, it means that Korea has more superhumans.

Either way, the value of the Republic of Korea and Choi Jun-ho go up. In particular, Choi Jun-ho’s ‘making it look like he was hunting alone’ is only possible with the support of his incredible skills that other superhumans cannot do.

“It’s not just words to hang James by the neck.”

“It would be right to say that he has the ability to do that, and that he has no choice but to do so. Junho Choi’s gift is not suitable for Dalian. Because we have to do our best for each other, someone has no choice but to die. Of course, aside from that, Junho Choi has a thought circuit that is as dangerous as a gift. There was no hesitation in execution, and he did not think about taking a backseat.

“Is it not a concept? What do you think, Christine?”

“The face you saw today must be the true face of him.”

After Choi Jun-ho became a superman, the United States used the Humint to investigate him.

The results were surprising. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the appearance I showed today was perhaps the most polite of my life.

Criminals, regardless of gender, had such radical ideas that those who cooperated in crimes were considered villains.

Opinions were divided even in the United States on this.

Until then, the opinion that Choi Jun-ho should be brought in was dominant, but the opposite opinion emerged.

It was Anna Christine, who is the main supporter, and James Reed, who is giving strength to the reservation or the opposition.

“At that age, that’s a lot of skill. I’d love to bring them back, but both James and Christine make sense.”

The eyes of James Reed and Anna Christine collided in mid-air at the Vice President’s words.

Anna Christine argued strongly.

“Choi Jun-ho is a superhuman who can maintain his heyday for over 30 years. Looking at the trend that the superhuman’s physical heyday continues for a longer period of time, he can show off his skills for 40 years. Considering how many roles I can play during this period, I think it is too late to move now.”

“I have a different opinion.”

There is a common misconception that people make.

The fact that James Reed’s nickname is macho is that the brain is not made up of muscles just like swollen muscles. Rather, he completed his Ph.D. at Stanford and became a superhuman by remodeling his body through a systematic process.

Unlike his sloppy speech and actions, he has the ability to see through opponents based on his quick judgment and excellent analytical skills. The construction of the smart hunting system was also heavily involved by James Reed.

James Reed, who heard information about Choi Jun-ho in the United States, and watched him for a short time, said with certainty.

“The fact that Choi Jun-ho became a superhuman belonging to the state is the result of a number of coincidences.”

“Are you saying that there is a result right in front of my eyes?”

“Yes.”

At Anna Christine’s counterattack, James Reed nodded.

“Looking at his actions and remarks, it is questionable how Junho Choi could have become a superman belonging to the country. If that luck hadn’t worked, in my opinion, Choi Jun-ho would have a 99.9% chance of becoming a villain.”

“Is Junho Choi a villain? It’s ridiculous. That is conjecture.”

“What we have shown since the civil servant Hunter is this. Choi Jun-ho is a villain in the costume of a hunter.”

James Reed’s voice was firm.

“The reason I am against it is that villains cannot be socialized. So it’s best to attach a watcher or keep it outside. In that regard, the fact that Choi Jun-ho became a superhuman after becoming a civil servant hunter is a product of coincidence. I think there is no choice but to show the villain’s temperament again at any time.”

“Isn’t that the end of the aggressiveness you’ve shown so far?”

“Yes. So I think he is one of the unidentified level 8 villains that have recently appeared in Korea.”

Over the past half year, two level 8 villains have appeared in Korea.

One is a Berserker who was evaluated as level 7 and caught the red snake Kim Young-hwan.

However, from the past to the present, Berserker has been revealed.

They don’t even match age.

Then there is only one left.

The villain’s age, identity, face, and gender were unknown.

“Eraser.”

Anna Christine stiffened her face and mumbled.

James Reed nodded confidently.

“I’m pretty sure he’ll be Choi Jun-ho.”
