As he got home, he saw that his parents along with Kanae's parents.
"Guys, what's going on?" Kenji asked, as he landed on the ground.
"Oh! Here you are! We're having a vacation in Korea!" His mother, Hana cheerfully said.
"Uhh, okay?" Kenji scratched his cheek as he said.
"Come one, I already told our pilot to prepare the Private Jet." Chikashi said as he was already prepared.
"You guys do know that I could just carry you and fly there, right?" Kenji said as he raised his eyebrow.
"No can do, young man, this will be our family bonding!" Hana told him as she was also already prepared.
Kenji just sighed and also packed his things, maybe he'll meet someone there interesting, and probably recruit him, well he'll just find out.
"Is everyone ready? Let's go!" Chikashi said as he walked towards their Limo.
Kenji got close to Kanae, and whispered, "Are you fine with this?"
Kanae looked at him and kissed him on the cheek as she whispered back, "Of course." Before going inside the van.
Kenji sighed again and went towards the Limo. And so, for the next hour, they finally reached the Airport.
Skimming through the day, they finally arrived at the Korean Airport, where they are welcomed by the Korean Hunter's Association, led by a orange haired man who goes by the name of Woo-Jinchul.
"Welcome back, director." Jinchul respectfully said to Gun-Hee.
"Yo! Jinchul, looking better, I see." Gun-Hee greeted him, as he patted him on the back.
"Yes, I'm fine, though I hope you didn't give me all your piled up works, just to have some vacation." Jinchul sighed, showing how tired he was.
"Well, I couldn't find a successor yet, so you'll temporarily take the responsibility of the Director."
"Sigh, can I quit?"
"No."
"Alright, this way please." After a moment of chatting, he stepped aside and let them in a car.
The car drove as soon as they got in, they also went into sightseeing as the car drove in different places.
Soon, they arrived at Gun-Hee's house. It's not that big nor small, just right.
"Nice home." Chikashi patted Gun-Hee's shoulder.
"Thanks." Gun-Hee replied.
However, before they got in, they were interrupted by a muscular young man with spiky orange hair, orange eyes, pronounced canine teeth, and neatly trimmed sideburns.
"Hello there, I'm Baek Yoonho, an S-rank hunter and the guild master of White Tiger Guild, I've been a fan." Baek introduced himself as he bowed towards Kenji.
"Nice to meet you, Yoonho-san, may I know why you're here?" Of course, Kenji wasn't rude and also greeted him back.
"Ehem, nothing, I'm just here because I wanted to see you in person." Baek 'coughed' slightly as he said.
"Really? Okay, sure come in." Kenji said as he came in, followed by the rest, and finally Baek as the last.
"Why do I feel like I am the guest." Behind Kenji, Gun-Hee grumbled.
As they went in, they dropped their luggages and sat on the couch, as they sighed.
Meanwhile, Baek was fidgeting beside them like a little girl, confessing to his crush.
"What is it?" Noticing Baek's dilemma, Kenji asked him.
"Well, actually, I just wanted to have a soar with you." Baek sighed and finally revealed his true purpose.
"You should have said that from the start, let's go, Gun-Hee-san, do you have any place where we can spar?" Kenji stood up and stretched before asking Gun-Hee.
Gun-Hee seemed to think for a while before saying, "There is one, near the Korean Hunter's Association's Headquarters." Gun-Hee said before sending him the location via phone.
"Thanks." Kenji thanked him before nodding at Baek.
But before going out, he went forward and kissed Kanae on the lips, who immediately got beet red.
"We're in front of our parents!" Kanae whispered as she noticed the stares they're parents are giving them.
"Do I look like I care? I'll kiss you whenever and wherever I want." Kenji smiled and gave her one last kiss before speeding up, as he grabbed Baek by the hem of his shirt.
"Woaa- eh?" Baek was about to shout in fear, when he felt like he was lifted off the ground, when he suddenly felt he touched the ground again.
"We're here." Kenji told him, as he opened the lights of the huge stadium.
'Fast, So fast that I couldn't even react. What a monster.' This is what was currently ongoing on Baek's mind.
A few seconds later, they were both standing on the middle of the stadium, facing each other.
"Are you ready?" Kenji cracked his knuckles and said.
"Can I go back?" Baek said wearily, just the speed of Kenji, shows that he has no chance winning this.
"No can do, and besides, I also wanted to have a spar, it's been a day since I last fought." Kenji then cracked his neck, as Baek gulped loudly.
"I hope I could get out of here alive." Baek muttered as he decided to go all out. His hair turns white, as fur covered his whole body, just like the monarch of Beasts.
His body buffed up, as his face growled and changed into something akin to an angry lion.
"Grrrrrrr" Baek growled then suddenly attacked Kenji, with his claws stretched out.
Kenji meticulously dodged every single slash of his, before countering with a knee on Baek's abdomen, throwing him away.
*BOOM!*
Baek collided with the walls, as he coughed blood, while his abdomen has sunked, but was healing fast.
"Roaar!" Baek once again, roared and attacked Kenji with perfect skills and precision.
"You're strong, I give you that." Kenji told him, as he let one of his claws touch him.
*Bang!*
Instead of injuring Kenji, Baek's claws got stuck on Kenji's shoulder.
"My turn." Kenji said, as he flicked on Baek's chest, before delivering a punch on his jaw.
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
Baek felt his conciousness slipping away, as his leg was grabbed by Kenji before he was smashed on the floor, forming a crater.
"Cough... Cough!" Baek coughed up blood, as he tried to stand up, but because of the impact earlier, his bones were broken, and his ribs were crushed.
"Oh man, we're late." They suddenly heard a mocking voice on the entrance of the stadium.
When Baek turned his head and saw a familiar rival, he gritted his teeth in anger.
"Choi." Baek growled.
"You look like shit, Baek." Choi continued to mocked him.
Meanwhile, behind him was a lady with a handkerchief on her hand that is placed on her mouth.
"Cha Hae-In." Baek stated the name of the girl.
Behind Hae-In was a burly middle-aged man with bushy black hair, thick eyebrows, and sloppy facial hair, while smiling happily.
"Good to see you, Baek!" The burly man greeted him.
"So, I heard that you were about to have a spar with the Legendary Superman, and from what I can see, It's not even called a fight." Choi chuckled.
"If only I'm not in this state I'll wipe that smirk off your face with my claws!" Baek growled at him.
Meanwhile, Kenji noticed that Baek was too injured for too long, so he decided to help him.
"Here." Kenji conjured a green bean, and threw it towards him.
Baek raised his hand and catched it, when he opened his hand and saw a green bean, he frowned.
"Eat it." Kenji told him.
Of course, Baek ate it, after all, if Kenji wants to kill poison him, then he won't need to resort to this kind of method.
The moment Baek placed the bean on his mouth and chewed, he instantly felt his stamina and mana recovering rapidly, while at the same time, his body healed, and even his broken bones and ribs quickly regenerated.
"What was that?" Choi frowned, especially when he felt Baek's mana recovering rapidly until it reaches its capacity.
"It's an invention of mine, I called it Senzu Bean. It could recover a person's physical, mental, and magical state up to their prime even if it is a hidden injury." Kenji explained to them, shocking everyone.
"So, what do you guys think of my invention?" Kenji asked.
"T-this is. This is a national treasure! This Senzu Beans could save countless lives inside a dungeon!" Choi was wide-eyed and screamed, the other's also has the same reaction, though not as exaggerated as Choi.
