Ch. 76

[Breaking News! World Rank Hunter Akano Kenji has just announced his participation for the Jeju Island Raid!]

Just then, a news has spread that made waves around the world, after all, anything that is related to the World Rank Hunter is like a God doing some miracles, which is why almost everybody are watching Kenji's every move.

"What? He's joining!" In Japan, a handsome middle-aged man with black hair and a neatly trimmed black beard was sitting on his chair.

This man is Goto Ryuji, he is the Guild Master of Draw Sword Guild, one of Japan's strongest guilds.

Back before he became the Guild Master of Draw Sword Guild, he used to be a freelancer. Back then, he wanted to join Kenji's guild, but his request was not only rejected, but he was even called 'unfit' to be part of Asahi Guild, making him angry.

This motivated him in creating Draw Sword Guild, and he's gonna prove to everyone that God can be beaten by a mortal like him.

He just needed recognition, fame and reputation. This is the reason for his guild's participation to Jeju Island Raid.

He wanted to use this as a leverage to be promoted to National Rank Hunter and if possible, he's aiming to World Rank Hunter.

"It doesn't matter, we'll convince the Chairman of Korean Hunter Associations to let us lead the Raid, and then, we'll send Kenji to 'bench', giving us the spotlight to this raid." Ryuji muttered, as he prepared for the incoming raid.

Ryuji wasn't the only one to react on this news, almost every guild in Korea and Japan that will participate reacted to this.

Some are happy, whole some are angry, after all, Kenji would most likely steal their spotlight, which isn't a good news to them.

Meanwhile, the said perpetrator, was having a nice chat with Jin-Woo inside his office.

"Well, there's this guy who's very rich, and I assigned him as my assistant in Korean Hunter Association." Jin-Woo introduced his friend, Yoo Jinho.

"It's good to have friends, I though you're gonna be one of those edgy characters, just because their power is cool looking or something." Kenji chuckled at his own words.

"Y-yeah, right." Jin-Woo chuckled nervously, making Kenji eye him in suspicion.

"Anyways, when is the raid gonna start?" Kenji changed the subject and asked.

"It'll start next weeek, as we'll be having a final meeting before the start of the raid." Jin-Woo also didn't want to stay in that topic, so he also rode along.

"I understand, then I'll come again by next week the day before the start of the raid, I'll come and join this meeting." Kenji stood up and patted his ass before giving Jin-Woo a final nod and left, leaving Jin-Woo alone in his office.

Time flies, and a week has passed, Kenji was currently sitting inside on the meeting rooms, along with Sung Jin-Woo, Baek, Choi, and Cha Hae-In.

Beside Kenji, was surprisingly Kanae, who heard that Kenji was participating in the raid, so she also decided to join him.

Right now, they were just waiting for the Draw Sword Guild to arrive.

Kenji was playing Subway Surfers on his phone, it's been three hours since he started right even before the meeting starts.

Finally, a few minutes later, Goto Ryuji and his Guild Members finally arrived, as they sat on the chairs.

"Sorry we were late." Goto bowed and apologized.

"It's fine, let's start the meeting, shall we?" Jin-Woo just waved them off and started to get serious.

This will be the first huge meeting he ever had since he sat as Director of Korean Hunter Association.

"Hold on, let me finish this first." Kenji raised his finger as he focused on his phone.

A few minutes later, Goto Ryuji and his members were also fuming in frustration as all they heard for the rest of their 10 minutes was the sound of Subway Surfer and many other sounds of it.

"Man, this is boring, there is a speed limit in this game." Kenji yawned as he placed his phone back in his pocket.

"Yosh, let's start." As soon as Kenji said that, Jin-Woo was the first one to speak.

"In this meeting, we'll tackle about the Jeju Island, and it's inhabitants. As we all know, they have evolved, they have wings now, and can already reach other islands near it." Sung Jin-Woo stopped as he saw Goto Ryuji raise his hand.

"We propose to let us be the one to lead this raid." Ryuji didn't stall anymore and stated his intentions.

He needed to be the one to lead this, so he could get the spotlight and the credit of being the one to lead the Raid.

"I'm sorry, Ryuji-san. But it has already been decided that Kenji would lead this Raid." Jin-Woo apologetically said.

"But isn't he too strong for this? How about he become this Raid's supervisor in case something wrong happened, that's only when he'll interfere, after all, I think it is only better to give a new generation a chance to prove themselves to the world, as one of Earth's protectors." Ryuji even has a script for this, as he already knew that Kenji would lead this Raid.

Jin-Woo just sighed at his persistence and turned to look at Kenji, who nodded at him with amusement on his face.

"Alright then, the Draw Sword Guild would lead this Raid, I hope you won't disappoint us." Jin-Woo's eyes glowed as heavy aura spread across the room.

The Jeju Island has been a disgrace to their country, as it has killed so many S-rank Hunters from Korea, and that includes his father, which is why he wanted to clear this Island already.

"Don't worry, we won't." Ryuji calmly assured him, as deep inside, he smirked in victory.

Now, he just needed to lay out the plans carefully, so his name would be all over the news after the raid.

This is the first step to his greatness, the first step of a mortal that will soon surpass the God.

What he didn't notice was Kenji looking at him in interest, as if a God expecting his creations to do something entertaining for him.
