Episode 147
“I thought stepping into the air was an impossible technique… … .”
“Treading in the air? What is it?”
“It’s one of the skills my father talked about a while ago. Even though he actually told me, he said that no one would be able to implement it… … .”
“I don’t know what you heard, but this isn’t a step in the air.”
“Well, then?”
It appears that the impact was large.
Chen, who rarely stuttered, asked in a puzzled voice.
“just… … Run fast?”
Chen’s face, which was full of anticipation, suddenly distorted.
“That… … Are you saying this now? “Are you doing the mid-air walk a little while ago and then running fast?”
“no. There’s really no way to explain it. “She took off again before putting her feet on the ground.”
Of course, it is a skill that not only ordinary people but also other hunters cannot dare to use.
Hunter device companies, which are considered powerful, are not racing to develop flight equipment for no reason.
Hunters’ abilities and hunter devices have made rapid progress compared to before, but ‘Sky’ still remained an unconquerable task.
So far, all that was possible was temporarily jumping high using ether as fuel, or a few espers floating in the air for a while.
Poisoner is probably the only hunter who can roam the sky as he wants.
“Don’t go anywhere and say something like that because it’s embarrassing. “It almost makes me want to give it a name.”
“haha. “I think this is the first time I’ve seen you so surprised.”
“You can’t help but be surprised. “Conquering the sky is the dream of all warriors.”
The surprise on his face had suddenly turned into envy.
You can guess the value of the ability you just gained just from this facial expression.
Now, you will be able to easily subdue ‘Harpies’ or ‘Tiger Dragons’ without having to make a big show of ass to get close to them like before.
Maybe even high-class dragons that are considered impossible to kill.
“I guess I should take back from saying thank you.”
“… … Why all of a sudden?”
With a face still full of envy, Chen continued.
“Because today you gained the best technology that every martial artist dreams of.”
* * *
“Giggle.”
“Did he eat something wrong? Why was he like this earlier?”
“I start laughing automatically, and there’s no way to stop it.”
“I am indeed.”
Bisu shakes his head with an expression as if he is seeing something strange.
Certainly my current state(?) is a bit strange.
Aren’t you clenching your fists for no reason? Aren’t you talking to yourself?
Maria, who was always cautious in her words and actions, even asked, ‘Doesn’t your head need healing?’ So everything was said.
But how can a person’s unconsciousness be controlled?
I became a hunter who freely moves through the sky, but it was strange if I was fine.
For the past few days, I have been sparring with Bisu every day.
Although it was more of a one-sided class than a sparring class.
Whenever he lay down from exhaustion, I used ‘Dogbo’ and walked across the sky.
Now that I’ve gotten the hang of it, it’s become possible to control my speed and land stably.
Hunters, who are no longer limited by the space called the sky, become many times stronger than the exaggeration.
This is because, like vicious dragons, one-sided attacks are possible in places that ordinary hunters cannot attack.
Is this how the dragon feels, always looking down at the ground with an arrogant face?
“… … “The Korean Association building has very good facilities.”
The tension that had risen to the sky at Chen’s words subsides in an instant.
Although they have put in place various psychological devices(?), it is true that I am a bit worried.
Finally, today, ‘The Irregulars and One Other’ meet Chairman Lee Sa-soon.
And my sphere will also be revealed to the world.
The media reports that he is a ‘hero who finally overcomes illness and returns’, but no one believes the report.
We had already met Chairman Lee Sa-soon in Dubai and confirmed her incredible abilities.
If my prediction is correct, Chairman Lee Sa-soon probably already knows about my crime(?).
The news that ‘The Irregulars and One Other’ achieved excellent results on ‘Stairs to Hell’ spread all over the world.
No matter how friendly the ‘Five Siders’ are to me, that doesn’t mean I can use their members as I please.
‘That’s also true.’
But if it weren’t for Chen, it would have been impossible to join the spirit world exploration team.
Thanks to him breaking through the first floor alone, the remaining hunters were able to stock up on ether.
Perhaps Chairman Lee Sa-soon will take that into account and take into account the circumstances… … peel?
“Ho ho ho. “Welcome, everyone.”
The easy laughter heard in Dubai spreads through the VIP room.
As before, she was wearing an oversized jacket and smiling brightly.
At first glance, it may seem that she became the head of the organization because she was good at office administration, but she is a powerhouse who has held the title of ‘super salary’, one of the few in the world.
Haven’t you seen her power right before your eyes?
She silenced the explosion of the dragon, which was capable of blowing up a city, as if it had never happened.
So much so that we look like fools holding up shields with solemn faces.
“I don’t know if it will suit your taste.”

Various drinks and refreshments were set on a long row of tables.
When I saw that scene, the words, “It’s a world away from home,” came to mind.
When I came to the association’s headquarters in the past, it was full of people who had to be on guard.
When I was taking the hunter qualification test with a body full of spots, the receptionist started talking about money, and the place where I first met Gu Geon and growled at him was at the Hunter Association.
But today everything was different.
All of the association’s employees welcomed our Irregular team, and at the center of it all was President Lee Sa-soon.
From the meeting place, it was the ‘VIP room’, so I said everything.
What can I say, I felt like everything was going smoothly when Lee Sa-soon returned as chairman.
“wow! delicious!”
Bisu puts a lemon-flavored madeleine into his mouth, clapping his hands in admiration.
On the other side, Chen was playing with his hands non-stop, just like he did at our house.
Lee Sa-sun, who watched the scene with a happy face for a while, said something meaningful.
“Today’s conversation will be held completely privately. I hope this can be an open conversation. Me and you too.”
“… … !”
Among the hunters gathered here, there was no one who did not know what that meant.
Lee Sa-soon is the head of the Korea Hunter Association and one of the five leaders of the ‘Five Siders’.
The former is something all Koreans know, but only a handful of people know about the latter.
Chairman Lee Sa-soon wanted an open dialogue about everything, and that was what we also wanted.
“First of all, I should say thank you. The achievements you made at the World Hunter Forum were worthy of a monument. “The Korean Association will always remember the achievements made on ‘Stairs to Hell.’”
Chairman Lee Sa-soon explained that soon the Irregular Hunters will be given appreciation plaques, medals, and other awards.
“Injury? What exactly… … “Is it cash by any chance?”
Yuk Cheol-wan and I sighed at Bi-su’s blatant remarks, but Lee Sa-soon instead smiled brightly.
“Ho ho ho. It’s nice to see Ms. Bisu’s honest side like that. you’re right. “At the association level, we are planning to provide financial compensation to the irregulars who have worked hard in other places.”
“Oh yeah!”
Bisu cheered so much that the madeleine in his mouth bounced, and thanks to this, Chen and I, who were sitting across from us, had to move more nimbly than during our sparring.
“Ho ho ho.”
Among the Irregular members, there are hardly any ordinary hunters, but Lee Sa-soon found Bisu the most interesting.
At first glance, he seems to be a friend full of personality.
Gorgeous appearance with flaming red hair.
And foolish actions that do not match the overwhelming visuals.
Chairman Lee Sa-soon asked her politely.
“Can you give me a brief buff?”
“Hehehe? (Now?)”
“Swallow a little and then answer.”
Bisu glared at me once, swallowed what was in his mouth, and then asked again.
“Here now?”
“yes. “It will only take a moment.”
I don’t know why, but it’s not difficult.
After catching his breath once, Bisu sent the buff to Chairman Lee Sa-soon.
sparkle.
Dr. Jin’s device attached to his ear emits a bright light.
Judging from the brightness, it appears to have been quite powerful.
but.
Since the target of the buff is a ‘super level’ hunter, the swordsman will also want to test his abilities.
“oh.”
However, in just a few seconds, Bisu recovered all the activated buffs.
“what’s the matter?”
“this… … therefore… … .”
Bisu, who was looking at Lee Sa-soon with bewildered eyes, turned his head towards me.
“It’s not working at all?”
“Eh?”
Everyone’s eyes turned to Chairman Lee Sa-soon again.
She calmly accepted all the attention with her characteristic easy-going smile.
“It seems like the buff isn’t working because of my characteristics. I’m sorry? “I wanted to become stronger, even just for a moment.”
I’ve already become a transcendent level hunter, but I want to become even stronger.
Are you planning on conquering the universe?
She said she was sorry, but looking at her expression, she didn’t seem to be particularly sorry.
You probably expected it yourself.
She has the ability to turn all energy related to the ether into ‘nothingness’.
Judging from the previous experiment, it seems that not only the enemy’s energy but also the ether sent by allies will end up in vain.
“Jeonghyeon-kun?”
Kang Jeong-hyeon was also a decent S-ranker, but maybe because of the age difference, the title ‘Gun’ didn’t feel awkward at all.
Lee Sa-sun told Kang Jeong-hyeon to show off his skills in a small way, and then repeated the same process with Yuk Cheol-wan.
‘Why is this happening?’
You can check the hunters’ profiles at any time if you want.
There was no need to gauge the hunters’ abilities here.
What can I say?
Feeling like you want to check out the Irregular’s abilities with your own eyes?
It was vague, but I had that feeling.
After checking the skills of several colleagues, Lee Sa-soon’s eyes now turn to Chen.
And I reflexively swallowed my saliva.
f*ck. It’s coming.
“Chen.”
“yes.”
“Thank you for carrying out my additional instructions well. “It must not have been easy to prepare.”
… … what?
“no. “The Irregular members here are very skilled, so there were no major problems.”
How did this happen?
I could hardly get used to the conversation between the two.
Chen knew it was like that from the beginning, so he would have responded like that, but why Chairman Lee Sa-soon?
Aren’t you speaking as if the command I delivered as ‘false’ was ‘true’?
“So, how did it feel to go through the stairs of hell?”
“I felt that there were multiple skies above the sky.”
“Ho ho ho. “It’s rewarding having you join the Irregulars.”
‘Booraam?’
Chairman Lee Sa-soon disguised the false instructions as real, as if he was going to listen to them.
As I was looking at her with a half-fazed expression, Lee Sa-sun asked me again.
“Hunter. “Does the coffee taste that good?”
Then, he very slightly closed one eye.
So that’s a wink.
I don’t know why, but it literally means that they will ‘turn a blind eye’ to what I did.
Is it because the results are good?
Anyway, since I understood her intention, I couldn’t make a dumb face.
“no. It tastes very good. “I am in awe of the chairman’s skills.”
“I’m impressed by your workmanship. “Do you think the chairman himself made the coffee?”
Bisu looks at me with pitiful eyes.
Hey, red-haired punsu.
If you don’t know, just stay still.
Anyway, thanks to Lee Sa-soon, I was able to completely relieve the burden I had been carrying on my mind.
The fake order was disguised as the real one, and Chen, who was deceived, did not even have to use his thunderbolt sword.
“Hey, these cookies are mine.”
“No, this belongs to all Irregulars.”
“Why are you suddenly acting like a glutton?”
“I know. “It’s really appetizing.”
There was some pleasantries and refreshments exchanged for a while.
Did you think that time had passed appropriately?
Chairman Lee Sa-soon put down his coffee cup and said serious words.
“I would like to propose a private project to Irregulars.”
