Episode 171. The Highest Spirit of the Wind
“The Hunter Association?”

“That’s right.”

Metheus’s proposal was something I had never thought of.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to destroy the Gaia Church?”

“Yes, it was.”

“It’s difficult to continue like this. We need a group that can become the center.”

“… Hmm.”

After hearing Metheus’ words, I thought about it.

Currently, the hunter industry is run under the leadership of the state.

The Hunter Management Bureau is in charge of all things like issuing hunter licenses, gate brokerage, and hunter crime investigations.

and.

‘There is a high probability that the nation and the Gaia Cult have a connection.’

no.

In fact, it wasn’t a high probability, but it was almost 100%.

If it weren’t for the Gaia Cult, no country would have the ability to stop something like an 8-star gate from appearing.

It was a natural thing.

The only problem was that this structure was not good for me, who simply wanted to punish the Gaia Church.

‘… It’s difficult to make the entire Hunter Bureau our ally.’

Because of this, the Hunter Management Bureau was a group that had no intention of recruiting them as allies in the first place.

but.

‘What if we created a Hunter’s Association?’

What if we create a Hunter’s Association and weaken the power of the Administration?

And what if we could bring some of that back to the association?

‘You can create an excuse to become hostile towards the Gaia Church.’

Sure enough, I can even draw in unspecified numbers of people who have nothing to do with my revenge to become my allies.

“That sounds like a good idea.”

He nodded towards Metheus.

It feels like the plan is becoming a little more realistic.

“That’s right. It would be easier to gather forces, and above all, humans are beings that need a sense of belonging.”

“Yes. I think there would be less resistance to the mainstream position than to the resistance position.”

Resistance forces attempting to destroy the Gaia Church.

The Hunter Association, which represents their own interests and has come into conflict with the Gaia Church.

Of the two, the latter would obviously be much easier to gather people.

It will also be easy to unite groups that have already been brought in as allies.

“Then let’s create an association… .”

“Are there any other problems?”

“I guess something like this isn’t something that can be made just like that, right?”

“I guess so.”

“The Tower will naturally support you, but you need a bigger support base.”

“hmm.”

“Is there any ally who would support the creation of the association?”

So, Metheus’ question was this.

Our tower is allied with you.

But isn’t this a bit insufficient?

Who else are our allies?

Well, in that sense.

He listed the groups that would be willing to support the creation of the association.

“For now, we will support the Geumwa Group.”

“Wow. You’ve built up a pretty good relationship with a pretty big place.”

“yes.”

“and?”

“There is also a Blacksmith Guild.”

“Blacksmith… It’s a Korean craftsman’s guild. It’s world-famous. I was thinking that the guild leader there might be from the continent of Repos.”

“That’s right, dwarf.”

“… You even know that I’m a dwarf? It seems like we’re quite close.”

It was natural.

Because Keldwick is my guardian.

and.

“I will also support the Destiny Guild and the New Cherry Guild.”

“Good.”

This was not a list of groups that could actively attack the Gaia Cult.

All you have to do is simply support the creation of the association.

That’s why the New Cherry Guild, where not all guild members hate Gaia, but only the guild leader, Shin Chae-ri, is on my side, was included.

However, Metheus frowned slightly, as if he was still not satisfied.

“Is this all? Hmm. It’s a bit disappointing. I guess I should use the name of the Magic Tower a bit more actively─”

“no.”

Of course, that wasn’t the end.

“There’s also the Red Blade Guild.”

“…Isn’t that useless? They’re a group of criminals.”

“Well, that’s just it. The Meteor Group will also support it.”

“meteor?”

“yes.”

“It’s a bit big there.”

Yuseol-ah has not yet become Yuseong’s successor.

But, well, it was sooner or later.

‘It seems like Yoo Chae-won is being pushed out of the succession plan, so it’s just a matter of time.’

In fact, even if that weren’t the case, I would be able to receive enough support for the establishment of the association, since Chairman Yoo Seong-ho’s favorability rating for me was not low.

“Good. At this level, I think we can proceed without any problems.”

“That’s fortunate.”

“Let me take the initiative in establishing the association.”

“Thank you, Metheus.”

Metheus was hot.

Let’s form an alliance, and give them truly generous support.

‘Is it because I thought I would eventually become a dragon?’

Maybe it’s just because they’re the last of their kind (Jin) left in the world.

Well, it didn’t matter anyway.

As long as it helps me achieve my goals, I’m satisfied.

Anyway, if Metheus steps forward and creates a Hunter’s Association, things will proceed without a problem.

He is not Korean, but he is a prophet and a magician.

and.

“Maybe we can bring in one more force.”

“somewhere?”

“It’s Mujinju.”

I told Metheus that I would try to get the Wujinju family involved.

If there’s an 8-star hunter named Ju Chang-ik there, it’ll definitely be of great help.

‘Actually, I haven’t made a proper connection with Mujinju yet.’

I just developed a considerable friendship with Joo Eun-seol.

But perhaps, sooner or later, we will be able to achieve results.

‘Non-competition.’

A non-competitive competition held periodically at Mujinju.

Because it was right in front of us before we knew it.

And I planned to use that as a stepping stone to learn the secret method from Joo Chang-ik and bring him into my army.

“Good. I’m sure you can do it.”

“…thank you.”

Metheus cheered me on with a trusting expression.

Oh, really.

Ticklish, you know.

* * *

Mujinju is a non-competitive competition.

‘To be exact, it’s closer to a swordsmanship competition than a martial arts competition.’

The scale of strength is already divided into hunter grades.

So, a competition to see who was stronger didn’t really mean much.

Because of this, Mujinju has restrictions on the use of Aura in non-competitive events.

If your hunter rank is high, there are restrictions on using items.

Thanks to this, there are many cases where low-ranking hunters can beat high-ranking hunters.

If your abilities are recognized here, you can ride the wave of Mujinju on your back and accelerate your growth, so many hunters participate to seize that opportunity.

And I didn’t know, but they even said they would teach the winner ‘the secret method’.

This is advanced information learned through Joo Eun-seol.

That was the conclusion.

If I can win here, I can get a connection with Joo Chang-ik and even a way to become stronger.

Anyway, that’s why.

I decided to participate in the competition this time.

The application for participation was completed without any issues.

“It’s too bad. I wish someone had at least started a fight.”

【… If you look closely, Eugene seems to want to get into trouble?】

“That’s not it.”

I’m saying this because in the hunter world, which is full of rough people who risk their lives fighting monsters, something like this is really rare.

Well, it wasn’t important.

The important thing is that time has passed and it is already the day of the preliminary round of the competition.

and.

Kagang!

“Ugh…!”

“surrender?”

“Ha, I surrender!”

“The winner is Kim Yu-jin!”

That I am steadily building up my winning streak.

It’s a new experience, but my swordsmanship is pretty good.

【…Is it at a usable level?】

‘That’s right. I haven’t even used the Mujin Sword yet.’

【… … .】

Although he doesn’t use it openly, he learned the Mujin Sword from Ju Eun-seol… .

‘I’m still lacking compared to my father.’

I’ve trained with my father, an 8-star hunter, several times and have greatly improved my swordsmanship skills.

【Eugene’s standards are too high!】

‘But the enemies are not that strong.’

【That’s… yeah.】

I had no choice but to set the standards high.

To destroy the Gaia Cult and complete my revenge.

After another victory, I looked around.

Preliminary matches are held in various places, dividing the Mujinjuga’s gigantic smokehouse into dozens of sections.

Swords clash with swords, and victory is decided.

A small audience filled the surrounding area.

They were all members of the Mujinju family and participants waiting for their turn.

Although this martial arts competition is held in the format of a ‘tournament’, it is not open to the public.

It was more like an event to find talent to sponsor at Mujinju.

and.

“As expected, Joo Chang-ik is gone.”

The head of the Mujinju clan, who could be called the main character, and an 8-star hunter, Joo Chang-ik, was nowhere to be seen.

【Because it’s a preliminary round! Of course there won’t be any!】

“That’s true.”

Maybe they won’t come to watch the competition until they reach the main tournament or the upper ranks?

I thought so.

however.

Groan, groan.

Suddenly, the entrance to the training ground became noisy.

I was wondering what it was.

“Go, my lord!”

“What? Hunter Joo Chang-ik is here? For the preliminaries?”

From the ensuing murmur, I could see why.

“… Joo Chang-ik is here?”

It was the appearance of Joo Chang-ik, which was considered to have almost no chance.

furthermore.

“Who is that person!?”

“Crazy. Hunter Choi Eun-tak! I knew you two were close, but….”

It wasn’t just Joo Chang-ik.

Choi Eun-tak.

A spirit master who is ranked 5th in the Hunter Rankings of South Korea and is known to have made a contract with a top-level spirit.

That he appeared together.

“This is a bit unexpected….”

It looks like there will be some kind of event.

【Eugene! Shouldn’t you go and pretend to be friendly?】

With the appearance of 8-star hunters, Frill’s words had some merit.

but.

“no.”

There are already too many people to step forward and do something now.

“Oh, Hunter Joo Chang-ik! You are my role model!”

“Hunter Choi Eun-tak!? My younger brother is a spirit master. Could you give me some advice… …!”

Because everyone wanted to be friends with them.

I thought that if I tried to come out now, I would just end up being just another Hunter 1.

So I just watched.

【Oh! It’s the Wind Spirit!】

“Do you know this spirit, Frill?”

【No! It’s just because it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a spirit!】

“aha.”

Listening to Frill’s story of being excited to meet his kindred spirits after a long time.

【… Now that I think about it, Eugene, can you see that wind spirit?】

“Huh? Huh. … Really? Can you see it?”

It was strange to see a spirit other than Frill, but it wasn’t important.

The important thing is.

“……uh?”

Thud. Thud.

“Who dares to block the path of the lord!”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”

Choaaaak-

Joo Chang-ik and Choi Eun-tak appear, cutting through the crowd.

That they were coming straight at me.

And they stopped right in front of me.

“Is it interest?”

“Hey, that’s right! Is that our Sylphy?”

And then he looked at me carefully.

“…Do you have any business with me?”

“What’s the matter? Of course! Aren’t you a spirit master? This is the first time I’ve felt such a strong spirit’s energy!”

To my question, which was asked curiously, Eun-tak Choi answered excitedly.

Joo Chang-ik asked him as if he didn’t know English.

“Hmm. I guess I can tell that he’s pretty strong.”

“Chang-ik. Of course you wouldn’t know since you’re not a spirit master! No, Silphi was making a fuss from far away. She said her friend was here! She really wanted to go see him!”

“… How is it that such frivolous speech is not acceptable?”

“Oh, is this what Sylphy likes?”

“… … .”

I could infer the general situation from their conversation.

The two people who originally had no intention of coming to watch the preliminary round of the non-competitive tournament came, perhaps because they felt the energy of the frill.

‘Frill. I know you’re a top-tier spirit, but what else do you have? What makes you worthy of this?’

【Uh… That’s it, I think you came to see Eugene, not me… … ?】

‘me?’

【Yeah. Eugene has a good affinity for spirits.】

Come to think of it, that’s true.

In the past, when you acquired the ‘Power of the Beginning’, your affinity with spirits increased significantly.

and.

A being that flies around in front of me like crazy and exudes a strong presence.

【Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! He’s human but he looks like a spirit! It’s so comfortable!!!!!】

It was a spirit in the form of a green, translucent girl.

Perhaps this guy is the wind spirit Silphi… .

Because I couldn’t ignore it, I looked at her and opened my mouth.

“Uh… hello?”

【Ah! A human saw me! Said hello to me! Woohoo!】

Then Sylphy reacts by getting excited.

“… … .”

It was a very noisy spirit.

‘Frill was truly a very, very polite spirit.’

That was when I thought about it.

“Mimi Mimic! You can see Sylphy!? Who the hell are you!!!!!”

“… … .”

There was one more noisy presence.

It was the 8-star spirit master, Choi Eun-tak.
