Chapter 26 Arrival of Hunters

A day passed in a blink of an eye. It's already 8:00 AM Zero and the others are already awake watching the news.

"Hunters of China, Japan and USA finally arrived in our country. A total of 47 SSS-Rank Hunters and hundreds of SS-Ranks will participate in the Jeju Island. 16 SSS-Ranks are from USA, 14 SSS-Ranks from China, 10 SSS-Ranks from Japan, 7 SSS-Ranks from Korea. The 10 SSS-Ranks that recently returned will be exempted but we received a report that they will try their best to participate."

"Do you think they can clear the Jeju Island?"

Zero asked.

"It depends on their abilities and cooperation with each other, Master," Reno answered.

"Shall I test them if they can clear the island, Master?" Diablo asked Zero.

"No, Diablo." Zero said with a straight face.

Aviz did not speak about the topic they are talking about. Zero and the others continued watching TV.

"Breaking News! A new report has arrived saying that the Jeju Raid will be held within two weeks! The...."

Zero's eyes widened a bit.

Zero said

"Aren't they belittling the monsters on the island? What a bunch of idiots. They do not even know what danger lies ahead on that island and they don't have a bit of information about the monsters on that island. What they all know is in the past but now is different." Zero sighed.

The 47 SSS-Rank Hunters from China, Japan, USA including Korea gathered in President Dong Hyun's Room. His room is very wide that it can even fit thousands of people so it's no problem if it's only a total of 51 people. They are 51 because there are three translators.

Dong Hyun asked, "Are you sure that we can prepare in only two weeks?"

Then the three translators translate what Dong Hyun said.

"Hey, hey should not we introduce ourselves first?" A hunter from China spoke. The translator translates what the Chinese woman said. She spoke again

"I'm Meng-meng I am using a sword. This is Li Jing the strongest mage who specializes in [Ice Magic]. This is Mei-ling support. This is Zhang Wei he specializes in [Wind Magic] and he uses a bow. Li-Jie is a martial artist. Cheng Huang, he's a fire magician. Li Hua, she's a water magician. Zhou Jifeng specializes in body strengthening so he's a tank. Fei Hong is a summoner. Lu Bao is a healer.

Fai Chun is a swordsman. Ming-shiyin is a lightning magician. Ming Xia is an earth magician. And Qing-ling an assassin." Then the translator translates what Meng-Meng said.

A hunter from Japan spoke and introduce himself and his companions too.

"I am Haruto a swordsman."

Then his other companions introduced their names too.

"Ichiro, fire magician."

"Yuriko, water magician"

"Yui, assassin and a wind magician."

"Himari, a swordsman and light magician."

"Arata, earth magician."

"Kazuki, a swordsman and fire magician."

"Rin, earth magician."

"Fumiko, wind magician."

"Rika, a necromancer."

Then the translator translated what they said.

Then one of the American hunters spoke

"These weaklings want to know my name?" A big man with a tattoo of a dragon on his right shoulder said. The pressure in the room became heavier. Most of them understand it because it is said in English. A girl hunter from America spoke and slightly bowed

"I am very sorry for the rudeness of my companion. I am Olivia a wind magician. The rude man's name is Liam a swordsman."

When Liam is about to say something, Olivia looked at him with scary eyes. Liam just made a 'tsk' sound. Olivia spoke to the other American hunters "Introduce your names."

"Emma, water magician."

"Charlotte, lightning magician."

"Smith, a swordsman and wind magician."

"Noah, I am an archer and a fire magician."

"Will, a tank."

"Sophia, earth magician."

"Isabella, assassin and wind magician."

"Scarlett, dark magician."

Many are shocked when they heard that she's using dark magic. Dark Magic is very strong and destructive magic. But if you made only a little bit of mistake, it can kill you or you will not be able to use mana in your lifetime. Because of this reason, most people are not using dark magic.

"Matthew, a swordsman."

"Chloe, water magician."

"Luna, a tamer."

Being a tamer cannot be attained by hard work. It can only be attained if you are talented in taming.

"Chris, earth magician."

"Victoria, wind magician."

"Violet, fire magician."

The translators do not need to translate it because most of the people present can understand English. Then Dong-Hyun introduced himself and the seven Korean SSS-Rank Hunters.

"As you already know, I am Dong-Hyun the President of Korea's Hunters Management. This is Byung-ho a swordsman. Ah-In the lightning magician. Lee Bong Ju is a fire magician. Hyun Woo is a necromancer. Jung Hoon is a swordsman. Sung Ho is a wind magician. And Liera a water magician. We also received a report that the 5 out of 10 SSS-Rank Hunters that recently returned to our country will join in the raid. Now that we are finished introducing ourselves, let's proceed to the main topic."

They are surprised to hear that another 5 SSS-Rank Hunters will join them. Then they started the meeting about the Jeju Raid.

Zero is lying down in his bed and feeling bored. Then he remembered something. The meat is 50% off! He immediately got up and fix himself. He exits his room and told Reno, Aviz, and Diablo that he is going into a grocery. Reno wants that she should do the grocery but Zero just shakes his head. Diablo also wants to come with him but Zero told him not to. Zero exits the house and finds a taxi.

After 15 minutes, he arrived at the store. He can see many people gathering in the store.

Zero muttered 'Sheesh, am I late?' Then he sighed. He entered the store and he can see many people in the meat section. There's a line so he lined himself at the end. The line is very long! It will take an hour before he can buy meat.

Zero muttered 'They will not run out of stock right?'

After an hour, it's now his turn to buy meat! Its normal cost is 293,000 won but now that the meat is 50% off, it's only 146,000 won. He paid for the meat and just when he is about to go outside, a dungeon appeared at the entrance of the store. The store's exit is right beside the entrance so people can't go outside the grocery. It's not a normal dungeon but an 'Open Dungeon'. Open Dungeon is a dungeon where monsters inside it can freely go outside the dungeon unlike a normal dungeon that it will take a week before monsters can go outside the dungeon. Many people are scared when they saw a dungeon appearing in front of their eyes. People can easily differentiate the appearance of an Open Dungeon from a normal dungeon. You can see what's inside the Open Dungeon even though you are looking at it from the outside. While a normal dungeon, you can't see what's inside from the outside unless you enter it.

People ran far away from the dungeon. There are few hunters inside the grocery and they guide normal people to safety. While Zero did not care about what the fuck is happening in their surroundings, he approaches the exit of the store like nothing is happening. The hunters tried to stop him from exiting, but Zero easily drive them away. Two monsters appeared in the dungeon. It's orcs. The orcs attacked Zero at the same time but Zero dodged easily. Zero is safe from the attack but the meat that he bought was trampled. Zero looked at the trampled meat. He grinned a bit to the orcs and said "You dare to waste my money?"
