ATTENTION OF THE UNIVERSE

*10 minutes passed*

*in a different room where cameras and some media people can be seen*

*in a stage*

*Riki Speaking*

"Thank you for accepting our invitation to this monumental event of our organization, the Hunter Organization! For us to be in luck to find a prominent ambassador of our organization, which to be the man you're seeing right now beside me."

*MC in his avatar beside Riki, seating*

"He, who passed our bronze assessment and broke the record, that hasn't been broken since hundreds of years ago in the whole universe. He is also someone who broke our universe record for the fastest hunter to complete 18 bronze missions in just less than 30 days after becoming a Hunter."

*media men clamoring and wowing*

*click clack – camera clicking sounds*

"We welcome our new ambassador… Max Newman!"

*Mc stood up and bowed*

"Please!"

*Riki gestured to Mc to speak*

"Welcome and thank you, Mr. Riki, for accepting me as the organization's ambassador and face for the whole universe to see! I'll do my best to live up to your expectation and the expectations of all in the whole universe!"

*bowed again*

*Riki came close and spoke*

"We will do that and we'll expect greatness from you!"

*Riki smiled and reached for a handshake*

*Mc took the handshake*

*camera popping sounds*

…

*1 hour passed*

*back to Riki's office*

"So, how's the event?"

"Quite normal, I say."

"Really? Seems like you're used to it."

"Not really, my first time but how do I say this? It seems I have a knack for it. The show-off thing, I mean."

"Hahahaha! That's good then. It appears that our decision to get you onboard and become the new face of our organization was a good choice!"

"Well… you want me to do those you demand, I do them, complete them and you reward me. That's straightforward. So?"

*eyebrows lifted*

"Oho~ If you're hinting at that… then…"

*TING*

*uverse holo app hologram appeared with message notification*

"YOU RECEIVED 10,000 CREDITS"

"Good."

"Well then… off to do one more mission today."

"Hmmm*

*Riki nods*

"See you again later. Also, we'll send you a notification in advance for the photo shoot. Please don't forget to record your mission and send us the videos. We'll need that for promotions."

"Got it. Send it to you later."

"Good. Farewell and stay safe, Max."

"Same, Riki."

*MC walks out of the room*

"Now… let's see how the whole universe reacts to this…"

*Riki sat and just took a look at the VR city views*

…

*MC walked towards Wendy*

"Hi, Wendy."

"Hello Max, you looked good at the conference! You looked like someone who is used to something like that."

"Is that so? Well… my first time but I felt comfortable. Probably I have a knack for it, don't you think so?"

*Wendy smiles*

"I believe it, and that would be good since you're going to promote our organization from now on, you must always be looking cool."

*Mc smiles*

"Haha, that's the word I'm looking for, "Coolness" Well, if that's the case, I must be careful in recording my videos so that viewers will be amazed at how I complete my missions."

"That would be so, Max. So, what's next?"

"Well… I'm going for the last mission today, but before that, I'll check some things at the business center. Later!"

*Max walked towards the elevator and tapped BC floor*

*waves goodbye to Wendy*

"Hmmmm~~~"

*Wendy Smiles*

"Good luck, Max."

"Wendy whispers*

…

*1 minute passed*

*ting*

*elevator stopped at the BC floor*

*open door*

*Mc exits the elevator*

*door closes*

*MC checked which cubicle is open*

*saw one available*

*walks toward the cubicle*

*turned eyes to the cubicles' door*

*approached closer*

*ting*

*shhhwickkkk*

*door opens*

*MC entered*

*sits on the sofa chair*

"That's not information at all, don't you think so?"

"M-master… we're still investigating. For now, that's all we can find after using all our resources."

"This is not you at all… my precious disciple."

*The young man shivered*

"M-master… I assure you we'll get all the details soon!"

"Hmm… If you, of all people, can't find more, then… it seems that these hunters really hid well. So very well!"

"We'll do our greatest, Master!"

*the man laughs*

"Do your best then. I'll wait."

*shows a hint of killing intent*

*The young man draped in armor bowed while shaking*

"Go."

"You guys found your pawn huh?"

…

*in another empire within the known universe*

"Hundreds of years passed, only now they got their boy toy huh?"

*a woman talked at a long elegant table*

"Yes, they really took their time."

*a man in elegant armor*

"How are you feeling?"

"My Queen, it's nothing. It's been 200 years since I left the organization and swore loyalty to you, my Queen"

*the woman laughed a little*

"How far do you see this little guy can go?"

"With the current information we have on him, 18 bronze missions in 15 days, even I can't do that."

"So, your evaluation of this little twerp is high huh?"

"Yes, my Queen."

"Then, they really got a bargain."

"If you term it that way, my Queen."

"Resentment?"

"None, my Queen."

"Well… we'll see how it goes from now on."

*armored man bowed*

"They really made a move. Ilsam."

*a shadow appeared at his back bowing*

"Investigate that man."

"Yes, my lord."

*the man dressed in black disappeared with black shadow blur effects*

"The game has begun huh?"

…

*in a certain pub*

"Investigate that man!"

"Yes, sir!"

…

*in a certain trading hub*

"Get more details! I need more! This ain't fuckin' enough!"
