“This…what?”
The president of the Hunter Association of America asked the secretary again, looking at the red liquid in the empty bottle.
“They say it’s a potion…”
“ha ha ha. It’s a potion.”
It was something that could never be seen in real life.
Skills far from common sense were already scattered all over the world, but this kind of ability never existed.
“How to use?”
“You just have to drink it.”
“If you just drink it… will it heal your wounds?”
The president of the association shook the contents of the bottle with an expression of absurdity.
“Yes, I do.”
“Are there no restrictions on the amount or anything like that?”
“There was no talk about that. However, there was a saying that it should be used by people suffering from incurable diseases or incurable diseases as the top priority.”
“That would be unavoidable. I was the first to receive this precious potion, so of course I should grant that kind of request.”
The president of the association got up from his seat and looked at the secretary and said.
“Study the ingredients in detail and see if it can be diluted and used first.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“No, I have to go.”
“Today’s schedule is…”
“Is the schedule important? The future depends on it.”
If you could analyze the ingredients of this potion, it would not be difficult to produce.
‘If only one hunter in Korea created it, there is no way that we, the United States, can’t do it.’
The United States was the first to vote in favor of the change in the status of the Republic of Korea the other day, without saying much, but the ability of a person named Kim Seong-hyun was a dangerous ability.
Of course, in the hunter world, it would be a miraculous ability that nothing could replace, but unless you were an American hunter, there was no more difficult ability than this.
“I’ll stop by the lab and meet the patients, so keep it up so you can figure it out right away.”
“Yes, I understand.”
The secretary who received the order disappeared immediately, and the president of the association headed to the research center.
The president of the association entrusted the research and waited for the results to come out.
Analyzing the ingredients didn’t take long, so the results came out after about 10 minutes.
“President of the Association, these are the results of the analysis.”
“Oh, yes! How about you? Can we produce? Dilution?”
Unlike the hopeful expression of the president of the association, the expression of the head of the research institute was not so bright.
“It’s… full of unknown material.”
“What, what? Are you saying you haven’t figured out a single thing?”
“That’s right. The dilution is also unclear.”
“Huh, this…”
The president of the association sat down with a wrinkled brow at the result that was not expected at all.
‘You don’t know anything.’
If I could figure it out, even a little, research would be carried out based on great technology, but even that was impossible.
“All right. You suffered.”
The president of the association had no choice but to go to the place where the patients were.
“Which patient are you planning to give the potion to first?”
“Be the worst patient. If possible, the pain is less.”
“Yes, I understand.”
The president of the association sat where he could see the mirror from the inside and the inside to see where the patient was.
“Start.”
The president’s order fell, and the patient was handed the potion and started drinking.
everything, leaving nothing behind.
“How are you?”
“her…”
The equipment connected to the patient’s body was already ringing a green light.
Convincing evidence that the patient’s body is improving.
“Oh, that’s incredible speed. What the hell is that?”
“…There is such a thing. What you see today, pretend you didn’t see it.”
Less than a minute after drinking the potion, the equipment started receiving signals consistent with ordinary people.
“Wow, that’s perfect.”
“It’s not getting better, it’s being cured…”
The president of the association slammed his finger on the table with a thoughtful face, got up and headed out.

Seonghyeon was preparing for today’s academy second match.
“Come on, I believe in you.”
“…”
Hwang Ki-hyuk looked at his students with a brighter expression than ever before.
Seong-hyeon, who was usually the cause of the pay cut, was the homeroom teacher who looked at him with an unpretentious expression, but since that day, the look on Seong-hyeon’s expression shows affection.
“Go!”
“…”
The second confrontation began with the words of the homeroom teacher as if he had taught him everything.
The rules are the same as before, and again, the match was broadcast to all classes.
The scenery of the stadium we entered was no different from the last game.
“If this happens again, it will be at a disadvantage for us.”
Checking the battlefield, Inhwan’s expression hardened.
“Watch out for the guy on the far left. Just yesterday…they said they opened up their abilities anew.”
“What, what? Why are you saying that now!”
“I heard it a little while ago. Concentrate. If you can’t stand it, the anti-fighting war will end as it is.”
This match was different from last time.
Since the strategy that once outstripped the opponent was never going to work again, the leader of this match was Seong-hyeon.
“I don’t know who the far left will target, but Sangyeon, you keep following up.”
“…okay.”
While Sung-hyun’s team was having a conversation like this, the opponent was already approaching right in front of them.
In the beginning of the confrontation, time passed without much contact, enough to be said to be boring.
“The search war is over. I go in first.”
Ui-hyeon, who opened up her new abilities, stood in front of Goo Goo-yeon with a confident expression.
“Hey, you crazy.”
“What, what? crazy?”
“Isn’t it maddening and crazy if it’s true?”
“…if you thought you’d fall for such a vulgar provocation, you’re an idiot.”
It was a performance in which all the team members unanimously agreed that it would definitely pass, but somehow, it did not fall over the provocation.
‘It doesn’t matter.’
Ui-hyeon’s newly opened ability this time blended perfectly with her existing ability to use her body.
The ability he had before was simply the ability to increase his physical ability overwhelmingly, and it was an ability with a clear limit.
However, the newly opened ability this time is the ability to substitute power for pain.
No one in this position knew about it now, but it was a perfect counter for one of Seonghyeon’s abilities, the stigmata.
“Let’s see where, who likes pain more.”
Uihyun didn’t think about anything else.
There was no need for that.
He would be able to deal with himself only when the visible Sang-yeon had gone mad.
‘If we keep Gu Sang-yeon alone, this will be our victory.’
All that’s left is a ranged dealer and a healer.
On the other hand, the remaining members of their team are all hunters with melee abilities.
“…Now that I see you, you’re not an idiot, you’re a pervert.”
Sang-yeon looked at Ui-hyeon running towards her with curious eyes.
‘Why do I see so many gaps?’
It’s like asking for an attack.
Sang-yeon decided to counteract the gap she had left open so blatantly that it could not be considered a trap.
While Sang-yeon and Ui-hyeon battled, Seong-hyeon and In-hwan had to face two melee ability hunters facing each other.
“…What do we do? After all, the combination is like this…”
“As you do.”
Seonghyeon took the sword she was holding and stepped forward.
Wolf-type beasts could easily be dealt with, but it was the first time to deal with a hunter specialized in melee combat without using stigmata.
“Seonghyun-ah…”
“know? What to do. Don’t worry about injuries. And I will be the only one after all.”
It seemed to prove Seong-hyun’s prediction.
Inhwan didn’t care at all and started running towards Sunghyun.
‘…up and left!’
The opponent’s fist, which digs both up and left at the same time, was also sharp enough to be incomparable to a wolf-type beast.
‘By the way…’
It was obviously a much heavier and sharper attack than the fangs of a wolf-type beast, but strangely, it didn’t feel threatened at all.
Seonghyeon easily avoided both fists by stepping back slightly.
“Hey… wasn’t he a healer?”
“Wow, that must be luck! Keep pressing!”
The two, who dismissed Seong-hyun’s avoidance as luck, continued to press on Seong-hyeon, but the counterattack began to come back intermittently, as if the movement could not be read rather than the fist touching.
“Hey, what is this…!”
In an unacceptable situation that happened one after another, the two did not know what to do.
“Ugh!”
At that moment, I heard someone moan from the front.
“I think this is over! Hurry up before you heal!”
It’s Goo Goo-yeon’s moan.
‘Did Goo Goo-yeon, who went mad, lost?’
When I glanced down at him for a moment, Eui-hyun’s wounds were much more numerous.
But the winner is Eihyun.
‘You beat Goo Guo-yeon, who gets stronger with less stamina.’
If so, it was clear that he had the ability to exceed him, or had the ability to be countered.
“Hey, if this is the case, then Kim Seong-hyun…!”
But there was no problem.
Seonghyun was fine.
‘cure.’
“Stop it! Stop it!”
With Ui-hyeon’s urgent voice, the other two rushed to Seong-hyeon, who was trying to use healing, but In-hwan couldn’t let it go.
Rather than attacking the two rushing in, Inhwan created a border of blue flames around Seonghyeon.
“What else is this…!”
“Just go in! When it’s cured, it’s over!”
Ui-hyeon’s voice was heard once again, but during that moment of hesitation, Sang-yeon got up completely recovered.
“This is how it feels…”
It wasn’t just a feeling of recovery.
It’s like making a battle out of nothing.
It felt as if the lost vitality and stamina, as well as the slightly exhausted mental power, had been restored.
“this…!”
Ui-hyeon, who was covered in wounds, rushed back to Sang-yeon, who was still in good shape.
However, no matter how much pain was turned into strength, it did not add up to the consumed stamina, so it came to a conclusion more easily than expected.
“Okay then, the other two…”
Just as they were about to run to the other two, a voice came.
“The match ended by making the opposing team leader incapacitated. The winning team is Professor Hwang Ki-hyuk’s team. The head of Professor Park Ki-hoon’s team was Hwang Eui-hyun, a physically talented person.”
“What, this pervert was the captain?”
It was a mistake to not have predicted Sunghyun’s power in the first place.
“All competitions for the first-year representative selection class have come to an end. The representative of the school year is Professor Hwang Ki-hyuk’s class.”
*
Seong-hyeon, the protagonist of today’s victory, heard the answer that the academy could request equipment production the next day and went straight home.
“what?”
But on the way home, a black luxury car stopped in front of Seonghyeon.
“Are you Kim Seong-hyun Hunter?”
“Yeah, that’s right… but who are you?”
“My name is Sammy from the American Association. Would you like to talk for a moment?”
Thinking about why the American Association came, it seemed that the potion delivered to the president of the association yesterday had arrived in the United States.
‘It’s very fast.’
“If it’s just a conversation…”
“thank you. Then ride.”
Sammy politely opened the car door and looked at Sunghyun.
“Where do we need to go?”
“It’s a bit of a heavy topic to talk about here…”
“…All right.”
In case of any unforeseen circumstances, Sung-hyun entered the call to the association on his cell phone and got into the car.
