I'm currently in the Korean Hunter Association's chairman's room. The atmosphere here is not very good, it seems that everyone also knows about the emergence of S-Rank portals in Japan.
After I entered this room, the chairman of the association was silent. He didn't say anything, and the atmosphere became tense. I don't know what to say, it seems he has a lot on his mind about this.
"I already know what you came here for." The Association Leader said that suddenly to break the silence.
"That means I have nothing more to say." I said that by looking at him seriously.
"I still haven't given you permission." The Association Leader said that out loud.
"But I still have to go!" I tried to force him to let me go.
"Why?" He asked.
"Isn't it obvious?! I have to go there and help them!"
Instantly the atmosphere became quiet again, he just remained silent after I said that. I'm not sure what he's thinking, but right now I have to convince him to let me go. I also don't know about other Korean guilds, I don't think many will contribute to stopping the S-Rank portal.
"Okay then, go." He said that while facing the other way as if he didn't want to let me go.
"Trust me and my guild! We'll be back!" I said that to convince him of my going to Japan.
Indeed, this is not an easy situation for our country either. We only had 3 S-Rank hunters including myself, and if we went to help the Japanese hold back the S-Rank portal there was a chance that we would get hurt or maybe in the worst case die.
But I'm sure that if I won't die, I won't let my guild members die either. At least now I have permission.
"Then I'll go first, thank you very much!" I hurried away from the Hunter Association's office.
For now I still have to talk about this with my guild members, and also I have to take care of a few more things before I leave for Japan.
I have obtained permission from the Association President but I still haven't discussed this with my family. Honestly I'm not sure my mother will let me go, she will be worried because this is a dangerous thing. But I'll try to talk to him later.
Now I have to go back home first. Then Ji-Hae and I went straight to the house using the car that Ji-Hae was driving.
When I got home I saw my sister and my mother. I have to discuss this with both of them. It's a little scary but I have to talk anyway. Then I approached my mother.
"Mom... there's something I want to talk to you about." I speak softly.
"What's that?"
"I'm going to Japan, maybe tomorrow I'll go there." I answered.
"What do you mean? Isn't something terrible going on there?" My mother asked in a worried tone.
"Yes, I really want to go there to help them."
"Is that true Oppa?! It's very dangerous!" My little sister was surprised by what I said.
"Why did you have to go there my son?" My mother asked.
"I really want to save the people there." I answered.
Then my mother seemed to be thinking about it, and also my little sister looked a little annoyed that I wanted to go to Japan. That's normal, because news about Japan has spread all over the place and everyone will avoid Japan for a while. I also don't want to leave my family, but somehow I feel that I have to go there.
"Alright since that's your choice, go." My mother spoke softly.
"But you have to promise me, you have to come back no matter what." My mother continued.
"I see, then I will prepare my things first."
Then I went into my room and I packed some clothes and things that I needed. I store these items in my blank space to make it easier for me. Then I also asked Ji-Hae to contact all the guild members regarding this, I asked him to gather all the guild members at the guild office tomorrow morning.
I also asked Ji-Hae to book plane tickets to Japan for all the guild members. I'm curious about the Blood Moon and 9 Blades guilds, are they going to Japan too? I didn't get any news from Pyon Hee-Ra, but I hope they go to Japan too because they will be very helpful,
Actually Japan has Akiya Junzo who is the world's no.12 S-Rank hunter. He possessed great strength, and with his Martial Artist class he became a very strong hunter in close combat. But still it would be difficult to fight an S-Rank portal with just his strength.
The next day...
I said goodbye to my mother and went straight to the guild office. And it looks like there are already a lot of people here. Looks like my guild members have all arrived, I'll give you some directions before we head to the airport to fly to Japan.
"Everyone listen to me! Do your best!" I said that out loud to cheer them all up.
"We understand!" They replied in unison.
After that, without wasting any more time, we went straight to Incheon International Airport. The journey takes about 1 hour from Seoul there.
When we arrived at the airport suddenly there were many reporters waiting for us. I don't know why they are here, but it seems that the news about our guild going to Japan has already been heard by them.
We walked into the airport followed by the reporters, I ignored them all and entered the airport quickly. It was also seen that the security had restrained them from following us.
When I entered, I was very surprised by the person in front of me. I saw Pyon Hee-Ra, I didn't expect to meet her here. She also looked at me and she came straight to me.
"Looks like you've come!" Pyon Hee-Ra said.
"Why are you here?" I ask.
"Of course I'm also going to Japan!" She replied with a smile.
"Woah that's great! I'm really happy that you're going to Japan too! You'll be a big help!"
"Haha by the way Ryu Young Soo is also here he's also going to Japan!" Pyon Hee-Ra spoke while pointing at Ryu Young Soo who was quite far from us.
"That was great! I didn't expect all of you to go to Japan! I really feel happy."
"All this because of you, yesterday the chairman of the Association called me and talked to me." Pyon Hee-Ra said.
"Ohh I see, well it's good that all of you are now here to help too."
Then we immediately checked in and waited in the waiting room. Our plane will depart at 1 pm. There was still about 30 more minutes before the plane took off. I went to eat in the cafeteria with some of my guild members.
And unexpectedly 30 minutes had passed, we were all about to get on the plane. We got on the plane right away. The flight from Korea to Japan takes about 1 hour.
After flying for quite a while we finally arrived in Japan. We were greeted by the chairman of the Japanese Hunter Association and also greeted by a Japanese S-Rank hunter, Akiya Junzo. There were also a lot of reporters who came to the airport, and the atmosphere was very lively here.
We were immediately guided by a Japanese agent to walk out of the airport, and we were all immediately escorted by car to go to the place they had prepared. There seemed to be a lot of cars prepared to pick us all up.
We then went to the Japan Hunter Association Building, the buildings here look interesting they have a classic design and the place looks really nice. There were quite a number of Japanese hunters here as well.
After that we were taken to a room and we were greeted with great fanfare. We were served a lot of food, and here there were also many other Japanese hunters. I can see there is Ano Chigusa who is an S-Rank hunter with Arcanist class. And also several other Japanese hunters.
This place is extraordinary, it is filled with strong high rank hunters. Then Akiya Junzo came over to talk to me. Seen there is a translator next to him also approached me.
"Nice to meet you, I really thank you for coming to help us." Akiya Junzo said.
"Thank you also for welcoming us so well, I hope we can work well together." I replied to him.
Then after I said that he smiled and left, then I went to get some drinks to enjoy this welcome party. I'm going to enjoy this for a bit before we head off against that S-Rank portal.
After a while it seemed someone came forward to speak.
"I, as a representative of all Japanese hunters, thank you for the arrival of hunters from Korea, we hope for good cooperation." After he said that, everyone clapped.
I looked at the people around me, and it seems that the hunters from Korea and Japan are quite familiar, some of them speak English, some can speak Japanese. And some hunters brought their personal translators to talk to other hunters like Akiya Junzo.
Honestly he looks very strong, he is taller than me and from his stature he looks big and strong. And also he has a different aura than other hunters, as if he is a tiger that can pounce on its prey at any time. I can't wait to see the abilities he will show later.
