Chereads / The Architect [Solo Leveling] / Chapter 97 - Sung Jin Woo

Chapter 97 - Sung Jin Woo

A day later, I was back in the office again. The last time I was here, it was during my re-evaluation exam. 

"... The raid will be in four days" Mr. Gunhee said as he stood up from his seat

"We will be going to Jeju Island to eliminate all the ants once and for all, however, for us to do that, we need your help Hunter Sung Jin Woo" the man continued 

They plan to raid Jeju Island?, the S-rank dungeon. This was a very tempting offer however it wasn't one I could entertain at the moment. 

"It has been a wish of every citizen for us to recapture the Island so I ask, could you join us for this operation?" 

"I am…. " 

"Magical Energy?!!" I thought when I felt a powerful wave of magical energy. 

It seemed to be coming from the basement of the Association building, did a gate open there? 

"Is something the matter?" Gunhee asked noticing the sudden change 

"Oh… Nothing, it seems there are some hunters fighting nearby or maybe a new gate just formed" I replied 

"As expected, to even detect them from this distance" Gunhee replied with a chuckle 

"You probably sensed the S-ranks who are currently warming up for the raid in the gym below"

"S-rank?"

"Yes, it's only four days to the raid so Kyoto Ryuji and his hunters are staying here"

"Kyoto Ryuji, Japan's strongest S-rank" 

"Yes, follow me" Gunhee said as he began walking out of the office 

Following him, I felt the source of the magical energy get closer and closer as well as more ferocious. 

We walked past many rooms and hallways until we came upon the gym. 

It was different from where the re-evaluation exam was taken which really made one question how big this building actually was. 

"It is usually uncommon for this many S-ranks to gather in one place so there is a high chance it's them you sensed" Gunhee explained as we entered the gym proper. 

Immediately we entered, the first thing I saw was the weird businessman National Level Hunter, Steven Grant facing against him was Kyoto Ryuji 

"My scans show me that on that island there would be atleast two National Level Monsters…. If so you might as well drop out now cuz you will die there" the man said as he swatted away an attack as though he was swatting a fly away. 

Looking at him, he was the only one dressed in a suit while the others  were dressed in a Dobok (Dojo Clothing) 

"Hunter Kyoto Ryuji is being pushed back" I noted subconsciously 

"The Opponent is a National Level Hunter but if Kyoto Ryuji was going all out then he may have a bit of standing against him" a new voice said 

Turning to its source, I saw the familiar red headed hunter, the so-called "Ultimate Soldier", Choi Jung-in. 

"It has being a while Hunter Sung Jin Woo" Choi Jung-in said as he walked closer to us 

"Mr. Grant seems to have some form of problem with Kyoto Ryuji hence this fight" Gunhee explained with a sigh 

It would seem that even he didn't understand why the fight was happening but from what I could see, this wasn't a fight. 

Even if Hunter Kyoto Ryuji does utilise his full power, there was no way he was winning.
