Episode 125 Press Conference

In Gwanghwamun, the wave of memorials continued.

The government, thankful for being able to protect the capital with the dedication of the hunters, held a state funeral and held the funerals of the hunters under the supervision of the government.

A total of 25 victims.

I bowed my head to the hunters who were smiling brightly in a frame decorated with chrysanthemum flowers.

After a moment of silence, I came down from the podium, and reporters’ microphones were pushed in.

“Hunter Yoo Seo-jun. You say you were in America when this tragedy happened, but why did you go?”

“If Hunter Yu had been there, wouldn’t they have suffered sacrifices?”

“What requirements did you put in the United States?”

“Is there a reason you left Korea and moved to America?”

“Are you moving the entire Avengers to America?”

I was dumbfounded by the flood of questions, so I laughed instead.

It didn’t matter if I was in Korea or not.

This incident was unexpected by anyone.

Dungeon Breaks occurred simultaneously all over the world, and the scale was also unusual.

In addition, I gave Pyo Chun-deuk and our guild a word to prepare before leaving for the United States.

The result was a series of questions like these.

I couldn’t find a reason to give an answer or an explanation, so I kept my mouth shut and walked toward the car prepared by the government.

Reporters continued to bombard them with questions, but were forced back by waiting police forces.

“Let’s go.”

Because it was the representative of the Avengers, the party was waiting at the guild.

Because of this incident, a government-sponsored meeting was held, so I got into the car and headed to the promised place.

We arrived at a hotel in Yeouido.

“Come this way.”

We followed the guide to the event hall inside the hotel.

A lot of people were already sitting and waiting for me.

“Are you here?”

Pyo Chun-deuk was the first to come up to me and extend his hand.

“I heard about it. You made a big contribution to stopping the brakes.”

I heard about Pyo Chun-deuk’s performance from the Avengers who fought together.

He was a person who had been doing paperwork and political work since the days of the association without moving forward, but it seemed that something had changed since that day.

“On that day, on the day you attacked the Korean branch, I learned something new and stayed up all night with my eyes open.”

“Is it because of the demons?”

“Well, yes. Because it was really shocking. And experiencing this dungeon break, I felt it once again. I want to apologize to you first.”

Although it started with a bad relationship with Pyo Cheon-deuk, he was also a person who maintained a love-hate relationship with me and the hunters.

Without his move, Hunters might have become government dogs.

In addition, various Hunter-related bills were all achievements achieved by votes.

On the other hand, it was also true that he had many enemies due to his desire to keep hunters under his command as well as achievements when he was in the association and when he was a guard.

Pyo Chun-deuk, who had only made formal apologies, was bowing down to me with sincerity.

Due to his personality, bowing in front of so many people meant that he was apologizing sincerely.

However, this kind of apology was not what I wanted from him.

“I think I heard a lot of apologies the other day. Instead of apologizing, show it with your actions.”

I said that to him, who bowed down, and went to the prepared seat and sat down.

No matter what, the fact that he tried to harass me by ordering Hwang Yi-chan and Kim Min-cheol was an unchanging fact.

For that he apologized to me several times and paid the price.

So the apology now had no meaning.

For me, what he will do in the future is important.

“Heh heh, I heard about it, but it seems that the relationship between the two is not good.”

When everyone was seated, the person in the seat of honor stood up and said,

Minister of National Defense Kim Seong-ryeol.

Now, this place was where he and other ministers and the heads of the Hunter Guild representing Korea gathered.

“I don’t think this is a place to get together with busy people and get to know each other, but what do you want to hear?”

Han So-yi, who spoke to him like a prick, made eye contact with me and smiled with a wink in one eye.

“Heh heh, you sound cool just like I heard. great. The reason I brought you all together is because I wanted to ask you a few questions about this dungeon break.”

“Protect me, protect me, isn’t that a request?”

This time, it was Kim Do-gyeong who asked the question.

“yes? No, that’s normal. The current position of the state is embarrassing. There are a lot of questions from reporters asking right now, but I can’t answer them. You should know something! So, Hunters, please give me an answer today.”

Come to think of it, they said they gathered representative hunters, but most of them were people related to me or to this trip to America.

“I listened to reporters’ questions as I came. They treated me like an old traitor.”

When I said that, Minister Kim Seong-ryeol put on a puzzled expression.

“So, why don’t you invite them to listen to the answer?”

Was that what you wanted?

It didn’t seem like an event that could end with the press conference we expected.

I was the only person who could give a clear answer to this question.

The problem was to prove it, but even if I could understand the demons through this dungeon break, preparing to go to the Pandemonium was another problem.

[There is someone who can prove it.]

Hearing Gilliant’s words in the necklace, he thought of a person, but shook his head.

‘It’s not something that can be easily solved by setting up the princess as a witness.’

If we put the princess in the media, she looks like a foreigner who can speak Korean.

So, how do you convince people?

Then, I thought of another trick.

“After all, I guess I have to talk.”

As I stood up and spoke, Minister Kim Seong-ryeol expressed his displeasure.

“Can you please?”

Anyway, I was expecting a press conference.

However, it’s just that it hasn’t been decided how the story will progress.

“Of all the people gathered here right now, there will be no one who can answer those questions.”

I had no intention of hiding it from people.

These were stories that should be revealed someday.

“Please hold a press conference. As a representative, I will clarify everything.”

After hearing my answer, Kim Seong-ryeol and the ministers of each ministry gathered at the table smiled broadly with relieved faces.

The look was a little displeased, but he didn’t show it.

Politics has nothing to do with me.

The reason I’m stepping out is only to answer people’s curiosity and prepare them for what could happen in the future.

On the day of the press conference.

As soon as I stepped onto the podium, the reporters began to press the shutters like crazy.

At the back of the press conference room, a red light was on from a long row of broadcast cameras.

Journalists with their hands on their laptop keyboards were staring at me.

“I am Elementalist Seojun Yoo.”

I, who was watching them, opened my mouth and the reporters started pounding on the keyboard like crazy.

“A lot of people will be curious. Because it wasn’t just monsters that came out of this dungeon break.”

This was the reason why the hunters sacrificed a lot.

It wasn’t just the monsters, it was the appearance of demons that I had never faced before.

It was said that among the demons that appeared in each country in the yard where A-level hunters had to deal with low-level demons, there were also intermediate or high-level demons.

“Hunters must have been embarrassed. To start with the answer, they are a race of demons called demons.”

The movement of the reporters who heard my story stopped for a moment.

All the people gathered in the hall were looking at me with dumbfounded expressions.

“Did you just say demons? The demons from that fantasy novel?”

A reporter asked a question while laughing as if he was embarrassed by his own words.

There was a set Q&A time and a procedure, but everyone was so flustered that no one cared about it.

“Yes, I was talking about that demon. The Bible describes it as the devil. I don’t know if there is a hell. I haven’t even been to the demon realm yet. The problem is their purpose.”

The reporters who had been absent-mindedly started pounding on the keyboard as I continued to speak.

“It is a fact that everyone here knows that the office of the Avengers Guild, which I am leading, was attacked.”

Reporters nodded.

“At that time, I couldn’t believe it either, so I just announced that a being from another world had attacked.”

One quick-witted reporter understood what I was saying and exclaimed.

“Could it be that the existence of that other world was a demon?”

“Yes, and after a few bumps I learned their purpose. The demons were preparing with a plan to invade the human world, our earth. One of the proofs is this.”

I then took out a soul stone from my bosom and held it up.

Since the reporters were seeing the item for the first time, they all had curious expressions on their faces, but they continued to press the camera shutter.

“This is the catalyst that opens the gate with the Soul Stone.”

At the same time, I opened the gate using the soul stone.

yes-

The hall became quiet as if water had been poured on the gate created next to me.

After a moment of silence, the reporters groaned and stepped back.

“Gee, what are you doing now?!”

“Crab, go to the gate!”

“Can you make a gate?”

Wavelength was expected.

However, if I didn’t do this, people wouldn’t believe anything I said and no matter what evidence I presented.

I used the soul stone to close the gate again and looked around at the reporters.

It seemed like everyone didn’t know how to react.

“This soul stone belonged to the demons. I got it from fighting them. We got to know the world connected to the gate through this.”

It was only after I showed them how to open and close the gates themselves that the reporters began to listen to what I was saying.

I organized only the information that the people needed to know, and told me about what had happened with the demons and why I had to go to America.

“That’s why I went. I don’t know if you watched it live, but the demon king who appeared last took all the demons and returned to the demon world. I declared war on them.”

After all the talk, there was silence for a while.

A reporter broke the silence and raised his hand.

“You said you declared war. Does that mean you will go directly to the Pandemonium?”

“Yes, the Avengers have already prepared a lot for him.”

Other than that, the reporters were all hesitant to ask the right question.

Then, another reporter raised his hand and asked a question.

“Then what should we do?”

I said with a serious expression on my face, looking at the cameras beyond the reporter who asked the question.

“Hunters, please prepare for an unexpected dungeon break and conduct evacuation drills for the military, police and civilians. A tragedy like this should never happen again.”

that was my sincerity.

I don’t intend to be a hero.

However, I didn’t want to ignore the problem either.

Even if you have power, you can’t protect everyone.

So there was nothing I could do more than provide warnings and workarounds.

Everything that happened after that was their own decision and responsibility.

*

The world was shaken.

The evidence of what I said at the press conference was supported by hunters who dealt with demons in each country.

In particular, the United States’ director Jack Miller and Lucas took the lead in telling us, and the world media is now starting to pay attention to our Avengers.

“Earl Yoo Seo-jun, if such a thing had happened, you would have taken me?”

At the princess’s question, I smiled and said,

“People are not that naive. However, that doesn’t mean that the princess’ actions weren’t helpful.”

I showed the princess an article.

▶A foreigner who saved people, a princess from another world?!

“This! How does my image fit on this small screen?”

During the dungeon break, it was an interview with the person whose life was saved by the princess.

All the survivors interviewed by the reporter were expressing their gratitude to the princess.

However, the princess was more curious about her photos than about the contents of the article.

“It is a photograph.”

I explained to the princess about photography.

“And now, I’m going to go to Fantasia.”

“Is it time to go back?”

The princess had an expression of regret.

Have you ever heard of this place?

“I guess you liked our world?”

“Some things are like us, and yet it was full of strange things when I saw it for the first time. I wish it was a place where I could come anytime.”

It seemed that the princess had various experiences here in a short period of time.

I could feel the joy and nostalgia emanating from her as she spoke.

“Anyway, the promised time has arrived.”

The suit has been completed and all preparations on our side have been completed.

One thing, I haven’t used the newly acquired powers yet, so after meeting with the team members, I decided to divide the first team and the second team.

“Is it okay if I go alone?”

I said, reassuring Min-young, who was asking worriedly.

“I have to go alone.”

Thanks to this fight, the soul stones we got were fully charged.

In front of the created gate, I was greeting Min-young and my teammates.

“We’ll see you again soon, everyone get ready.”

“Thank you so far. See you in Fantasia.”

The princess greeted the party politely.

“Gilliant, I’ll ask you for a while.”

Just in case, Gilliant decided to stay this time as well.

“Don’t worry.”

The princess and Luman entered the gate first.

After looking at Gilliant, Minyoung, and the guild members once, I moved to the gate.
