Episode 418
After Shin Yoo-seong left the room, he saw a woman in a Chinese dress with one leg exposed in front of the door. Until now, Shin Yuseong had only seen one person dressed like this in his life.
“Mr. Maylin?”
“long time no see. Regarding the previous research lab… I apologize once again. Please do not have any bad feelings.”
Shin Yoo-seong smiled and nodded, and May-Lin started on the road.
“According to the president’s order, I have awaited your decision. If you had refused, I would have left.”
However, Shin Yoo-seong declared that he would win the position of the next president as the association president wished. However, Meirin had one question.
“May I ask you just one question?”
“If it is related to this matter, feel free to ask.”
Mei Lin was rather relieved by Shin Yu-seong’s businesslike tone.
“Is revenge the reason that made you decide to win the position of the next president? Or… Ambition?”
Even when he first came down Mt. Musin, the word ‘strongest hunter’ was just a vague goal. But now it was getting closer and closer.
“My goal is to eventually surpass Master. That must be the goal of the teacher who taught me and my ambition.”
“The legendary hunter… surpasses the King of Power. great. Hunters aiming for the next president of the association should have that level of ambition. It’s just…”
Meirin seemed to like Shin Yuseong’s answer. Perhaps because of that, Mei Lin, who always exchanged businesslike conversations, gave advice to Shin Yoo-seong with her personal opinion today.
“The higher you fly, the more attention you will get. you will be subjected to checks. At that time, no matter how much you are, you will be afraid of falling.”
However, Shin Yoo-seong was no longer a freshman, a freshman. Even the head of the branch, Meirin, had become a finished Hunter that could not be controlled.
So Shin Yuseong was not swayed by Meilin’s advice.
“The thing I fear the most is not the moment of falling.”
Rather, it only strengthened the goal that had already been set. May-Lin, who unintentionally watched Shin Yoo-sung’s growth from the people around her, was in awe of herself.
‘…This kid has become quite manly.’
If Shin Yoo-seong, whom I first saw in May-Lin, was a cute puppy that doesn’t know the world, Shin Yoo-seong now feels like a sharp wolf somewhere.
Of course, the appearance didn’t change much, but the atmosphere was strangely different. It was a woman’s feeling that is hard to explain in words.
“That’s an interesting answer. Would you believe me if I told you that you and the president of the association share similarities?”
“Are you talking about appearance?”
“Pu-huh! No… I meant something like ambition or ambition.”
Meirin tried to suppress her laughter at Shin Yoo-seong’s answer, and tears came out. Until now, no man had dared to joke with her, who had a thorough history of engineering and engineering. Thanks to that, Meirin had zero immunity to laughter.
“Of course… Now that I look at it, the eyes look a little like his. Well, it’s hard to explain, so let’s just say it’s the eyes of a man running toward a goal.”
After she finished speaking, Mei Lin smiled and unfolded the data she had prepared to assist Shin Yoo-seong in a hologram.
“Now, let’s get to the point. Space barrier type A.”
phut-! Saaa!
Blue particles flew around and the space except for Shin Yuseong and Mei Lin became blurry. People passing by this barrier space ignored and acted as if Shin Yuseong and Meirin did not exist.
“Reference number 112.”
Meirin’s clear and elegant voice resonated within the barrier.
[Recognizing ID – No33250]
[Data Item No. 112]
[In order to view this data, joint approval from 7th-level hunters or higher or 3 branch heads or authority approval from 1 association president is required.] The mechanical sound emitted from
the pocket is Rather, it felt heavy.
“Request for Permission to Grant Authorization. Yoochan Kang.”
[Recognition complete. Permission permission request has been delivered.]
Pocket conveyed the permission request to Kang Yoo-chan through Meirin’s voice. Even if Kang Yoo-chan was on the other side of the world, this signal was transmitted in the blink of an eye through the information transmission tower developed with the tower’s technology.
[Granted.]
“Twelve seconds. This is a record number of permission requests so far. By the way, when the president of the association was late, I waited for three hours.”
“Is it good?”
“yes. It means that the president of the association is very interested in this matter.”
[Five star]
[Information of 5 people has been viewed. Please enter the password through the dedicated hardware device.]
“It is complicated.”
Let’s bring Meirin to the hologram screen like a torch, a hardware device that is only allowed for branch leaders. The hologram began to calculate the password at breakneck speed with a beeping sound.
“Isn’t it really picky?”
“I think the information you are going to show me now is that important.”
Yooseong Shin handed Meilin a wine glass while the pocket was calculating the password. It was real wine for adults, not the non-alcoholic drinks Eun-ah and Shin Yoo-seong drank.
Sipping-
It’s a rule to never drink alcohol while working, but this time Meirin also drenched her mouth. To be honest, even as an avid drinker, she was coveted for the finest wines provided by Shinsung Group.
“Yes. Originally, it was illegal to disclose the identity of Five Star to election participants. In principle, no one other than the president of the association should know about Five Star.”
“That’s…”
Taking advantage of Shin Yoo-seong’s worried expression, Mei-Lin sipped – once again quenched her thirst with wine.
“It’s a disadvantageous game, so it’s a story that you’ll take the side. And it’s okay. Because you broke the rules first.”
The identity of the five-star committee that decides the next president of the association will be kept completely private until the end of the election. Until then, it was absolutely forbidden to dig into or contact Five Star.
However, among those who were aiming for the president of the association, there was no one who adhered to such trivial rules.
“…Two of the Five Stars are the Shinno family. Therefore, it is safe to say that he is Shin Kang-yoon’s person. You know what that means, right?”
“The fact that two of the five members were recruited… means that all the other three members had to choose.”
Merlin smiled and nodded. And now, he poured the cubed cheese on the table into his mouth and drank the wine.
“Hap- yum… In a word, your starting point from the beginning is quite a disadvantage.”
Shin Yoo-seong was in trouble with a serious expression, but May-Lin brought a wine bottle from where she had brought it and poured it into her own glass.
“Oh, it smells really good… I heard that the world tree was improved and a dedicated winery was made…”
Meilin admired. The Hunter Association made the root of the world tree obtained as a reward from the tower into a bow with the blessing of the spirit at best. However, Shinsung Group thought of improving it and creating a world check grape variety.
Not long after, they even created a company called World Tree Winery and announced the best varieties of wine to the world.
“As expected… Shinsung Group has a reason to sweep money.”
“…That Meirin-san. It seems that the reading of information is over.”
“iced coffee?”
As Yuseong Shin taught the hologram, Meirin sat in a chair with a blank face covering her mouth as if she had just woken up.
“hmm? Space Barrier Type A… Data Reading No. 112…”
“You’ve already done that.”
“Ah, I see… I’m sorry. I’m out of my mind… The wine smells so good that I’m in love with it. This wine is no ordinary wine. Shinsung Group… made a winery using the World Tree.”
Shin Yoo-seong wanted to point out to May-Lin that he had already said that. Apparently, he was handed a Pandora’s box.
However, if I repeat what Meirin said, there was an operation on the side of Shin Yuseong.
“You were talking about Five Star.”
“Ah….”
Maybe Meirin came to her senses, and she immediately started the briefing by manipulating the hologram again.
“…yes. Except for the two Five Stars who have turned to Shin Kang-yoon’s side, two of them have room to contact.”
“But doesn’t it take three votes to win?”
what are you hiding? At Shin Yoo-seong’s question, Meirin gave a subtle smile, perhaps because she was drunk.
“…yes. However, there are only two people Shin Yoo-seong has to recruit among them. Why… you will know when the time comes.”
Despite Shin Yoo-sung’s question, Mei-Lin kept the identity of the other one a secret until the end. It was unknown whether it was for future surprises or to gain an advantage in the election.
‘…Now I have no choice but to trust this person and the president of the association.’
However, Shin Yoo-seong’s choice now was trust. Even if it was not because of Kim Seok-han’s order, Shin Yoo-seong could not hand over the chairperson of the association to Shin Kang-yoon.
That’s also true, Shin Kang-yoon was a man who even abandoned his children for the sake of results and ambition.
If the Hunter Association was handed over to such a person, the future of the Hunter world and Shin Yoo-seong, who had already become a thorn in the eye, were obvious.
“great.”
“Now, the first Five Star must be a sphere.”
[Five star-Roja Cecilia]
[Certified-7th grade hunter]
[Country of origin-Italy]
[Affiliation- Green forest]
[Position – Guild Master]
[Activity status]
[7th grade Sardonyx Raid]
[6th grade Barbadon capture Large]
[Establishment of Green Forest]
“This person is…”
“Yes. A 7th-level Hunter who participated in the Sardonyx Raid with you. It is common among Five Stars to have outside advisors, not domestic ones. Of course, Shin Kang-yoon couldn’t reach out to Roger, an outside advisor.”
Mei Lin filled her wine glass once more. Then he sipped his wine again and smiled.
“Recently, the Green Forest requested a helper from the association due to Roger’s injury. You will be there. It’s a natural encounter.”
“…It seems like a very blatant and unnatural encounter.”
Despite Shin Yoo-seong’s playful reply, May-Lin was too serious.
“Even if you are injured, Roger-sama is one of the best hunters. If they saw you in person, they would recognize your limitless potential.
As long as she rode Shin Yoo-seong’s line, Meirin’s life was at risk for political reasons as well. If Shin Kang-yoon became the next president of the association, Meirin, who was an opponent, could not be safe.
“And next… it seems like a trick of fate. This person was selected as a Five Star a year ago, but there is a link between you and Shin Kang-yoon unintentionally.”
[Five star-Yuwol]
[Authorized-6th level hunter]
[Country of origin-Korea]
[Affiliation- 3rd reconnaissance agency]
[Position-chief]
[Activity status]
[Villain group infiltration arrest team]
Yuwol was a member of a prominent family .
However, he was a person who was seldom understood. Even he wasn’t sure whether he would have responded to Yoo Min-seo and Shin Kang-yoon’s offer or not.
‘…It will be a difficult opponent.’
Meirin smiled strangely as she saw Shin Yuseong in trouble. Perhaps because of the heat of the wine, her cheeks were flushed red.
Then, after arranging the hair on Shin Yoo-seong’s cheek, he handed the wine glass to Shin Yoo-seong’s lips and whispered,
“By the way, for this wine, Shinsung Group… made a winery using the World Tree.”
Seriously, that was a story I had heard three times today alone.
