Part 9: Hunters of the Karma Clan

* * *

The eraser listens. I heard it again. It was too short this time. It meant that everything was over in an instant.

You see a strange flow of monstrous chakra. From the monster to the hunter, and from the hunter to the monster.

For a while, Jill looked at the benefit of the silent and terrifying focus.

“Is there something wrong? ”

Ji-Woo approached him as he asked.

“Chakra flow is strange. It may sound strange, but there seems to be a monster out there, and that monster is being provided with a Hunter, but the chakra flow is interactive. ”

“Bi-directional?”

“First it looked like a monster's chakra was injected into Hunter, then Hunter's chakra. Ah!”

The eraser screams a little.

“These people. You want to train hunters with monster chakras. Is he after the Cats Eye Stone? ”

Profit constitution asked.

“That doesn't make any sense. Because no one knows if Hunter can take it when you inject him with the monster chakra. I don't know what level of monster this is, but there are probably more hunters who don't accept it. ”

“As a test, you inject Chakra, and if Hunter turns out to be unacceptable to Monster Chakra, you feed him to Monster? ”

“I think so. ”

Ji-Woo said.

“Then where are the hunters with the monster chakra? What's going on? ”

“I don't know about that. I don't feel their chakra. Even a monster's chakra can only be felt for a moment when the flow of chakra is clear. I think we need to get closer to find out. ”

“Then we'll have to make up a reason to stay here for a few more days. ”

“And I think we need to talk to Mickey Widow. I have to ask people if they've heard of this. ”

“You can do that, Anziu. I have to get ready to meet Reyka. ”

Ji-Woo looked at the constitution of profit as it spoke. After thinking Ji-Woo's gaze would soon go elsewhere, he shouted when he saw that he was quite persistent.

“What, why! You think I don't know the difference between a ball and an apostle?! ”

“That means. I would sacrifice my life for the ball. Is that how you feel? ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“Ms. Grant, I don't want Clan A to become one. I don't want you to break faith for clan A. ”

“What are you talking about? Is it because you think I would do something like that with Reyka? Oh, come on. Funny guy.”

“If that's not what you're thinking, I'm glad. If you do something to disappoint the leader, won't we be sorry too? If what you did for Clan A is wrong. ”

I listened to Ji-woo and looked for Ji-woo.

“If anything happens between me and Reika, it's on me. ”

“Of course, the boss will be responsible. I mean.”

“Oh, you don't have to listen to that. Anziu wants you to feel the chakra flow well. And now get out. ”

I came out pushing my back to erase the profit. Akira talks to another hunter in front of the garden and finds the erase drifting from within.

“Would you like some tea? ”

Akira asked.

“Yes? Of course. Well, do you think so? ”

As Jiu moves to Akira, you see Reyka entering a place of interest.

“Let me know if you need another woman. I don't think I've ever had this kind of entertainment before, so I'm not really prepared. ”

Akira said.

“No, no, no. I think they're being treated very well. I feel sorry for being such a nuisance to Bourne. But the way the clan operates is unique. I want to learn.”

“Is there anything you can learn? You already run a world-class clan. World-class is not good enough. ”

“It's not that big. Running this big is going to be a lot harder than I thought, and it's going to be hard to see where people are centered. ”

Akira guides Jiu to her study and sends instructions to bring the car there.

“How do you think this is going to go? ”

Akira asked.

"This?"

"This is how it is now. where monsters and humans coexist in an uneasy way."

“Well, it's either going to stay in balance, or it's going to end with one missing. ”

Ji-Woo said.

“If one side disappears. Which one do you think it will be? ”

“I don't really think the human race is going to disappear. ”

“Why is that? The strong one is much stronger with monsters. And if there are no restrictions on the map, aren't there truly extraordinary beings? ”

“Yes, I do. The monsters don't come out all at once. ”

“Right. Don't you think that's strange? Once the monsters come out of the swamp at once, things will be easy to solve. ”

“Easily solved? It's like the voice of a man who is aiming to exterminate humanity. ”

Ji-Woo said.

“I'm not talking to you from my perspective. Isn't that what someone's trying to do? There's no one in the world who's ever made that kind of species. It must have created swamps and monsters this time. ”

“I think it's simple to think that way. ”

"You know what? No species on the planet has sustained a population of seven billion. No, you're wrong about that. There are a lot more things like krill. So if you eat a few thousand at a time, you're going to keep your species going. None of the top predators have a population of seven billion. But human beings, they continue to be summoned. without any fear of food disappearing."

"I haven't thought about it in detail, but I'm sure you're right."

"It's not just a large population. We're involved in maintaining the population of other species. They're trying to prevent extinction, and they're allowing us to hunt temporarily to control the population. Only humans do that."

"But then there's the monster. Are monsters higher predators than humans?"

I didn't seem to be interested in what the other person, Aki, was asking me when I was thinking deeply. The thought of having to answer ignored the question, naturally as if no one had ever had it before.

“I've been thinking about that for a long time. when I was told to start running next to me. Rather than running indefinitely, I felt I had to know the rules of the game exactly. ”

Erase fell in love with Akira's words.

“All you have to do is run, so that when you get to the end, I win. I didn't want to run until I was sure of that. ”

“That's the game. The appearance of swamps and monsters. And then he becomes a radar and kills the monster. ”

“That's right. When I put all my might into it, I didn't want to start a game that was unlikely to win. ”

“So, you're sure now? ”

“I think he's still on hold. And while I'm fighting, I don't think the rules are going to change. But it's not a stable state, and it could be changed at any time by someone. ”

“In what way? So, you're talking about a time when the swamp suddenly opens and a whole bunch of monsters jump out of the swamp at once? ”

“You can't be sure that won't happen, can you? If that happens, no one will be able to stop it with our strength. Even if only a first-class monster comes out of the swamp, it won't respond properly to it. Many people are sacrificed all at once. ”

“That's a shame. ”

Erase that and examine Akira's face. I didn't think Akira would cooperate with the tragedy. Akira looks at the air with a look on her face as if she thinks so.

I thought I was just looking at the air, but when I looked back for a long time, there was a picture of a man who resembled Akira.

“I'm your father. You were a hunter. ”

Akira says, the car comes in. I thought I knew why erasers drink tea during conversations. Emptying it with a cup of tea made me feel like I could absolve myself of the sin of silence.

“The Extreme Hunter is a great place. It's a must-have for modern society. I heard about the weapons master there, and he seemed like a really great guy. Whether people thought it was the limit or not, they didn't seem to be drawn to that idea. When no one had ever seen an attack amplification rate of 400, 500, he would have tried to build it himself. I think the people around him who trusted him and gave him the opportunity are amazing. In that respect, I respect a lot of the Extreme Hunters."

"Yes, they certainly are."

Ji-Woo was surprised that Akira was interested in Chae-jun's brother.

"Among the many monsters I attacked, there were a number of monsters that left a strange corpse. When I'm transporting a cadaver, I keep it to myself, and if I get a chance later, I want to show it to the weapons master of the Extreme Hunter. I don't know if there's a chance."

"There's no such thing as impossible."

"It would also be helpful for an Extreme Hunter to build a guild and bring in regular attackers. because there are so many different monsters in every country. Even if it's the same Sharon, it's a little different. So you can choose from a number of things that are more efficient to use."

"I think it might be a good time for us to talk sometime."

Ji-Woo said.

"Too bad he was just a man, too. And given 80 years to a useless human being, and 80 years to an Extreme Hunter's weapons master, that's never fair. ”

“A good person needs to live longer? ”

Ji-Woo smiled and said.

Akira stares at erase as if it were natural.

“Do you want to live long? ”

Erase asked.

“Me? No. I don't want to live long. I just don't want to lose the people I love in my life. Whether I grieve the people who are left dead or not, that's not my share of grief, is it? But when my father died, it was huge. I haven't been able to get over it for a while. ”

I waited, emptying my cup of tea, thinking that Akira might have more to say, but she didn't speak for a while.

“A favor, or an offer. While we're here, I was thinking maybe we should join the Karma Clan and attack a first-class monster. The Karma Clan will have tough monsters, but if we raid together, we'll have a better chance of attacking them. ”

Eventually, the first person to speak out erased it. It was said that the spinning conversation was boring.
