89

And the next day, after waiting, Seong-hyun and his party left the hotel and headed to the place where De Marge was.

A different place than when I first entrusted the equipment quest.

When they arrived, they were waiting for their turn in order of national status.

Originally, today only the representatives who received equipment from De Margue were gathered, but since it was not an easy opportunity, the representatives who were rejected came with the feeling of grabbing a straw.

“Ah, the representatives of the Republic of Korea are welcome to come.”

DeMarguet’s assistant beckoned to Seong-hyeon as if he had arrived just in time, and at the same time, the stinging eyes of the Chinese representatives poured in.

Except, of course, the friend I met with Sunghyun briefly the other day.

Standing in front of the Chinese national team, the Chinese representatives began to mumble.

“Small country guys have no manners…”

“What should I do? They’re all on their own level. Shouldn’t we, who are broad-minded, understand?”

Of course, it was Seonghyun who couldn’t understand what he was saying, so he couldn’t say anything back.

Just an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

“I think it has already been promoted worldwide?”

“yes? what?”

“What do you mean?”

At Seonghyeon’s sudden words, Inhwan and Sangyeon looked at Seonghyeon with puzzled eyes, wondering what they were talking about.

“That we are going to lead China. Have you seen everything else?”

At that, In-hwan and Sang-yeon burst out laughing at the same time.

If the other delegates were not happy with the current situation, they would have stepped forward.

Because they are more sensitive to their status than anyone else, and if they collapsed like this, their authority would be damaged.

However, no one in the present had any objection to DeMarguet’s assistant.

It was the same today, and it was the same yesterday.

That is, tacitly acknowledged.

“What did you say now?”

It was the Chinese representatives who could not understand what they were saying, but strangely, they felt bad and asked Seong-hyeon.

Of course, Sunghyun lightly ignored it.

“Ignore us now…!”

“The Korean representative can enter.”

No matter what the opponent said, in the end, it was the Republic of Korea who received the equipment from De Marge, and the place that did not receive it was them.

Seong-hyeon, who gave off a relaxed smile, entered the room following the assistant’s guidance.

“Oh, here you are. Sit down.”

Unlike the first place I requested, the decorations were quite calm and old-fashioned.

“Oh…you…”

Demarguet, who was watching Seonghyeon carefully, said while looking at Seonghyeon with a very interesting expression.

“Did you get a little stronger in those few days?”

“ha ha ha…”

The only thing I did during those few days was to fight against 1, and that seemed to help a lot more than I thought.

“Somehow… I feel stronger than stronger.”

“thank you.”

“It’s the same with you.”

From the moment I saw him for the first time, Demargue had never talked to Inhwan and Sangyeon, but this time he spoke to me first.

“yes? Oh yes! thank you!”

“Go, thank you.”

DeMarguet nodded and looked at his assistant who was waiting next to him.

“Bring it.”

“Yes.”

Soon after, the absent assistant reappeared, holding three seemingly sturdy boxes in his hand.

“Listen to this friend for an explanation. I just have to go.”

“thank you.”

DeMarge got up and waved to Seonghyeon and others who were about to say hello, and then left immediately.

“I will explain. First of all… Hunter Koo Sang-yeon?”

“yes.”

De Margue’s assistant handed the box containing the stage’s equipment to the front of the stage and said.

“Let’s check it out.”

When I opened the box, there was something like a very small transparent membrane that I thought could be called equipment.

“Hey, is this… equipment?”

“haha. Yes. you’re right. Everyone who sees Demargue’s equipment for the first time has this kind of reaction. This is also one of the reasons why DeMarguez is called the best craftsman in the world.”

Sang-yeon, who was holding the transparent thing in the box in her hand, picked it up at eye level and checked it by turning it around.

“You just have to put it on the ring you’re wearing now. It has perfect immunity to external shocks, so it doesn’t take up bulk or break.”

“Five…”

The reputation of being the best craftsman in the world was not for nothing.

“Then I’ll explain the abilities you’re most interested in.”

A brief silence lingered, and Sang-yeon looked at the assistant’s mouth with eyes full of anticipation.

“The ability that Hunter Koo Sang-yeon possesses. widening. It’s a great ability, of course, but it has a fatal flaw.”

It can only be used if it falls below a certain level of health.

No matter how you think about it, the ability with these conditions had a clear limit to getting into the ranks of top-level hunters.

“So DeMarguez tried to get rid of that shortcoming. If you wear this equipment, you can go berserk at the moment you want.”

“Yes, yes? Is it possible to go berserk right away?”

It was obvious, but it was suspicious.

No matter how demure it was, it was no different than having completely eliminated the prerequisites for abilities.

“Oh, of course, there are not only advantages. Upon use, health drops to a level that allows Berserk to be used. It’s about cutting yourself off.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

As a result, Sangyeon’s biggest shortcomings have completely disappeared.

Berserk, which was released when stamina was restored, was removed due to the academy equipment, and there was no need to do so in a situation where he had to cut his stamina unconditionally due to Demarge’s equipment.

“I never imagined it would be like this…”

“However… In the future, Hunter Guo will not see the power of equipment any more.”

“What do you mean?”

“It means that you can no longer wear gear related to Berserk.”

It was the stage where his eyes fluttered for a while, but he had no interest in anything else anyway.

I just wanted to get closer to pure power.

“…it’s okay.”

Now with Demarge’s equipment, the limit of Seonghyeon, which had been blocked, was completely broken.

When I put the transparent membrane on the ring I had received from the academy before, the membrane that was wrapped around the ring was absorbed into the ring as it was.

“Then that’s good. Next is Hunter Kang In-hwan.”

“yes!”

Inhwan stared at the assistant with twinkling eyes.

I heard what the show just heard, so it’s definitely a lie if you don’t expect it.

“Isn’t Hunter Kang In-hwan’s ability to handle blue flames?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“The equipment you received was equipment that reduced the ability’s accuracy and mana consumption.”

“yes!”

This time, the assistant opened the box and handed it to Inhwan.

“This gear has new abilities.”

“A new…ability?!”

“Yes, to put it simply, it is a barrier.”

“Shut up, barrier…!”

Basically, among the ranged hunters, the best hunters all had one means of self-defense.

And for Inhwan, this was the biggest drawback.

Of course, Seong-hyeon was by my side, but it was impossible for me to stay with Seong-hyun without missing a single day in my life.

And even if there was Seong-hyeon, if he had his own means of defense, he would be able to reduce the burden on Seong-hyeon even a little.

“How… do you like it?”

“…yes. Thank you very much.”

Usually, when I had high expectations, most of them fell short of them, but it seemed like I had received results that exceeded those expectations for the first time in a very long time, maybe for the first time in my life.

“Now is the last turn. Hunter Kim Seong-hyun.”

Why did you choose yourself last?

It may mean nothing, but strangely, it was an expected moment.

“For your information, out of the three days DeMarguet was making equipment, two days were spent on Hunter Kim Seong-Hyun’s equipment.”

“So…”

The assistant handed the box to Seong-hyeon as well, and inside the box was something similar to a transparent membrane.

“Hunter Kim Seong-hyun’s equipment is…”

The assistant could not speak easily.

It was difficult to distinguish whether it was regret for not being able to produce any remarkable results even after dedicating two days of time, or whether it was thrilling about creating something unimaginable.

“It is the realization of ability.”

“…yes?”

Sung-hyun doubted his ears for a moment.

Since Seong-hyeon already had the ability to materialize, it could have caused a situation where it was completely overlapped if done wrong.

“May I ask for more details?”

“of course. Simply put, um… ah! This word fits well.”

The assistant said as if he had realized something.

“I think it would be better if I called ‘Come’.”

“Come… huh?”

Seonghyeon remembered the meaning of the word aura he knew.

He knew he was constantly radiating a certain power around him, but it seemed to be the same with his assistant.

“Demarge was very worried. And although you have tried many things… this time you realized that there are kinds that even DeMarguez cannot make.”

“Things that Demarge-sama couldn’t produce…”

If Demargue is impossible, no one in this world can make it.

I thought that the equipment I am receiving now would probably be the last one.

“In fact, Demarge wanted to make an attack tool for Hunter Kim Seong-hyun. However, it was impossible. We went through so many trials, and the only thing we were able to create was an aura.”

The assistant’s expression was a little subtle.

It was as if he felt guilty for Seong-hyeon.

“If you wear that equipment, you will materialize Hunter Kim Seong-hyun’s healing power as an aura and radiate it to the surroundings. Of course, only when Hunter Kim Seong-hyun wants it. Those within range of the aura that it emits will heal naturally. Identification of peers follows the will of Hunter Kim Seong-hyun.”

“Then why are you making such a face?”

Seeing Seonghyeon’s questioning as if he didn’t know, the assistant asked with a surprised expression.

“Hunter Kim Seong-hyeon’s healing…isn’t it to take the victim’s pain instead?”

“yes.”

It was a really blunt answer.

It’s like a dry word that comes out when someone calls your name.

“Huh… you don’t feel pain… are you?”

“Is it possible? It’s like everyone else.

“How could you be so blunt…”

“It’s about adapting. So, this aura is what you are saying, depending on my will, those who will be healed and those who will not?”

“Oh, yes. And of course there is a difference in speed compared to using direct healing. According to DeMarge-sama, it is less than half.”

That was already a lot of speed.

In the first place, if Seong-hyeon used his healing powers, he could be healed in an instant as long as he didn’t die.

“I received a gift that exceeded my expectations. Please be sure to say thank you.”

“of course. Demarge-nim was also very excited, saying that he did not know how long he had put so much passion into it.”

“Then…thank you.”

Seong-hyun and his party, who thanked the assistant, left and returned to the hotel.

It was thought that the rest of the schedule might not be carried out due to terrorism, but China did not seem to have any intention of doing so.

There was also an article that Seong-hyun had found a bomb in the sewer that he had discovered earlier.

It was quite different from what I saw then.

After a week of competition, the United States, which had not missed the championship for 7 years, ended up winning this time as well.

‘I’d be lying if I said I didn’t regret it, but I don’t regret it.’

The purpose was to obtain Demarge’s equipment, so that purpose was achieved anyway.
