China seems to have paid a lot of attention to it, so the hotel we stayed at was almost identical to the hotel where Sung-hyun had recently spent a vacation with his family.

“Oh, did you care?”

Inhwan looked quite satisfied with the scenery that was not much different from his own house, and Sangyeon had already experienced it once through Inhwan’s house, so he wasn’t too surprised.

“Did you tell me what happened in Daejeon?”

The most important opponent of the battle.

Nothing has been decided yet, and of course nothing has been announced.

“No, I think it might be announced on the day of the competition.”

There is now one week left until the battle.

Until then, there really wasn’t much that could be done.

It was impossible to subjugate the gate because he only came to China for a counter-war.

“Then, shall we take a look around then?”

As in Japan, Inhwan already looked a little excited about the idea of going sightseeing.

“You’d better stay in a hotel.”

“Only in the hotel? why?”

According to Seong-hyeon’s memory before returning, the Chinese Hunters had a lot of things compared to other countries.

Of course, they had to reach a certain level to receive that level of treatment, but if they reached a certain level, they could evade the law.

“According to the rules, we must not use our abilities for any reason.”

“…right.”

“If you go out in that state, you’re just a normal person with a slightly stronger body.”

“Surely that would be difficult.”

If you are attacked by any chance, the moment you choose the option of resisting, the battle will be in vain.

“Even if it’s a little boring, there are a lot of things in the hotel, so you have to endure as much as possible until the match.”

“After all, I can’t help it.”

The best way to solve a problem was not to create a problem in the first place, so Sunghyun and his party chose not to leave the hotel at all.

All other amenities were provided inside the hotel, and there was no need to worry too much because Seonghyeon had the ability to heal even if she got sick.

“Then until then…”

Seonghyeon pushed the huge table next to the room to one side.

It was confirmed in advance that there were no cameras in the room, so it was important to prepare a way to practice even a little.

“What are you going to do all of a sudden? No matter how spacious the room is, isn’t it a bit cramped for training here?”

I don’t know about Seong-hyeon or Sang-yeon, but In-hwan himself has the ability to handle fire, so it was difficult to use his abilities in such a narrow space.

“Did you ask last time? What have you been doing since you came to Japan?”

“Oh right! It did. I totally forgot about other things.”

“Aren’t you going to say nonsense like you’ve gotten stronger again?”

Sung-hyun answered in silence to Sang-yeon’s words, and the two of them smirked as if they were absurd.

“No, Sunghyun-ah.”

“why.”

“You are a healer.”

“right?”

“after…”

Even in Japan, the gap with Seong-hyeon was quite wide, and if he had gotten stronger there, the gap would have widened considerably.

“So, what happened?”

“Nothing else…”

‘muster.’

When I used muster, 1 appeared in an instant.

“Hey, what is this…?”

“Is it like a summoned beast?”

“If you put it simply, you can do it.”

It was not that there were no hunters with summoning abilities.

However, it was quite rare compared to other abilities.

Even compared to those hunters, the summoned summoned by Seonghyun looked different.

In general, the summoned beasts were in the form of animals.

However, Seonghyeon’s summoned beast had a human-like appearance.

“Wait a minute, didn’t it mean that you acquired this ability in those two days after your return to Japan?”

“…right.”

“…her.”

In-hwan was so absurd that he couldn’t get the words out properly, and he just let out a laugh in a row.

“No, is it okay? Did you say that in just two days, you got the summoning ability, which is a rare ability with just one?”

“…it is true that it is difficult to understand. It’s no different than reopening.”

Until now, these were things that could be seen as the development of abilities.

But what is the relationship between summoning and healing?

“There has never been a hunter who re-opened his abilities multiple times throughout the history of Korea, or the whole world.”

“Perhaps in the future… it will be.”

In-hwan and Sang-yeon did not congratulate Seong-hyeon.

I was just worried.

Until now, we congratulated Seong-hyeon, who has grown up vertically and rapidly developing abilities, but now the words are different.

Growth that feels so heterogeneous that you wonder if there is something wrong with it.

“No matter what happens, there is no turning back.”

“That’s also true.”

“Every choice was made by you, so I won’t go into more detail.”

Seong-hyeon was stronger, wise, and prudent than they thought, so they respected Seong-hyun’s choice.

“Stop talking about that. For the rest of the time, I thought it would be nice to have a duel with the 1st.”

“One?”

“I didn’t have a proper name for it, so I named it 1.”

The two looked closely at 1.

Its appearance, as if made of light, gave it a completely opposite feeling from its appearance.

“If only this was black, it would look like a beast, wouldn’t it?”

“right. Masuya.”

“What, what?”

“It was a beast. It is now my summons.”

When Seong-hyeon’s gaze reached 1, 1 knelt down and paid tribute to Seong-hyeon.

“Level 1 is similar to mine. In terms of physical ability alone.”

“Then if you fight against 1, will it be similar to fighting with you?”

“Um… the fighting style is a little different, but it’s still pretty much the same.”

“Welcome. I’ve always wanted to fight.”

Unlike In-hwan, who had a startled expression, Sang-yeon was burning with a sense of victory.

“Let’s keep fighting until the battle starts.”

“okay. I will win once.”

“Let’s try 1:1 first.”

He didn’t tell me that the summons wouldn’t get tired, but I was thinking of canceling the summons in the middle if I showed my skills in moderation.

‘By the way, when will I be able to achieve 100% ability?’

The current power of 1 is half of its original state.

Seonghyeon couldn’t even understand how strong 1 was in the door, so a 1 who could use all his powers would be stronger than he could have imagined.

And the key could be related to the number of subjects of worship, or it could be the direction in which 1 itself is gradually getting stronger, so we had to check it in as many ways as possible.

“Then shall we begin?”

“come in.”

“good night.”

Sangyeon stood in front of 1 first.

Like everyone else, before starting a match, it was difficult to gauge how strong he was.

‘Something like a summons…’

Perhaps it was quite embarrassing to feel this kind of emotion toward the summons, so Sang-yeon rushed to the 1st.

Again, Sangyeon’s attack didn’t reach at all in the beginning.

I started to allow 1’s attack little by little, but it didn’t matter now anyway.

Sang-yeon, who allowed several attacks, used Berserk.

“Now is the beginning.”

It was a performance that was told in a rather exciting voice, but unfortunately, nothing has changed significantly.

“Heh heh, heh heh…”

1 was clearly stronger than himself.

I wondered if there was a part where the performance was even a little bit ahead, but that part didn’t exist at all.

The speed was much faster than 1, and the difference was so great that I wondered if it was that much of a difference between receiving and evading an attack.

“This dog…”

If it had been Seong-hyeon who had competed, his pride would not have been this bad.

However, the opponent is Seonghyeon’s summoned beast.

In-hwan, who was watching the match between the two, looked at Seong-hyeon with bewildered eyes and said:

“…Sung Hyun-ah.”

“yes?”

“I… I think I will lose as soon as I start?”

“You have to deal with it in moderation. But right now, Sangyeon is drawing out the maximum of 1. 1 is not exhausting, so I will have no choice but to lose.”

In the meantime, Sang-yeon, who was exhausted, withdrew, followed by In-hwan.

Thanks to 1’s strength control, In-hwan was able to keep fighting for quite a while.

Of course, not a single successful attack was successful.

“OMG…”

Inhwan, who couldn’t stand half of Sangyeon’s time, fell to the floor as it was.

“It was all hard. After all, 1 is an existence without the concept of stamina, so it would be impossible to win in fact.”

After leaving the two exhausted and stretched behind, Seonghyeon soon started a battle with the 1st.

“Wow…”

“Crazy.”

All I could say was that it was really crazy.

In the meantime, In-hwan and Sang-yeon knew how strong Seong-hyun was and how sensible he was, but it seemed like he had never seen him do his best like this.

‘Even when I was dealing with those 3rd graders, I wasn’t strong at all…’

I don’t know if it’s not the power or if the power has grown, but what is certain is that Sung-hyun’s power now exceeds the level of common sense.

Just watching the match between Seonghyeon and 1st helped both of them a lot.

It feels like a new door is opening, where things that I had never thought of before are starting to appear.

I couldn’t understand how my skills improved just by watching the battles of masters in old martial arts novels, but now I can.

“After all, I will stop.”

Seonghyeon, who finished the match moderately and canceled Summoning 1, said, looking at the two of them when it was time to eat.

“Hungry. let’s go.”

The dishes with the splendid decorations unique to China were also quite splendid in taste.

If there was one thing that was a little strange, I thought there might be other academy representatives, but no one showed up.

‘…are you eating outside?’

Seong-hyeon thought that they would probably eat at a pre-determined place because they had different tastes, so after finishing the meal, Seong-hyeon went back to her room.

“Thanks to DeMarguet’s schedule, he said that I had to make a quest three days in advance, so let’s keep fighting with 1 until then.”

“yes. It certainly seems to help.”

“I am also welcome. It hurts my pride to lose to a pet, but such an opponent is rare.”

As if they were quite exhausted from the match with Unit 1, Sunghyun and his party fell asleep early on the first day.

——————————————–

“…”

Seonghyeon woke up late in the morning and got up from the bed with a strangely bustling feeling.

“Is it because of your mood?”

I thought maybe it was because my bed had changed.

This never happened in Japan.

I drank a light glass of cold water and was about to go back to sleep, but the alarm started to go off.

“Fire…alarm?”

Seonghyeon, who checked out the window first without panicking, saw that the first floor of the hotel was engulfed in huge flames.

“This is no ordinary fire.”

No matter how big a fire was, if there was a hunter with water-related abilities, it could be put out quickly.

And since there was no way this hotel wouldn’t have had such a hunter, it must have been intentional, not just a fire.

Moreover, the fire was spreading rapidly.

“Guys! fire…!”

In-hwan, who heard the alarm, came out immediately, and Sang-yeon came out soon after.

“There was a fire on the first floor. I think we should take shelter on the roof.”

“Isn’t it easy to put out a fire?”

In-hwan shook his head in response to Sang-yeon’s words.

“I looked at it for a while, and that fire is no ordinary fire. Hunter’s ability…that is, fire paper.”

“What the hell…”

“Let’s go to the roof first. Still, we will be able to subdue it soon.”

I wondered if the bustle I felt a while ago was the cause of this fire, but strangely, on the way to the roof, the bustle turned into an ominous one and followed.
