The Pursuit Of Power - Volume 1 Chapter 49 Revenge Against A Thief 2

“I guess there is not much to see from the best Hunters in Korea.” The translator took the initiative to speak her mind.

“Is that so?” Goto Ryuji said.

“Well, I guess seeing you clear so many gates, other S-Ranks just don’t cut it for me.”

“That’s not completely true. There’s one useful Hunter.” Goto spoke and showed how he thought of others, as items to be used. ‘Did they say her name was Cha Hae In? Cha Hae In and Go Gun-Hee are comparable to our best members.’

A voice came from their side.

“Did ya think I wouldn’t understand you calling us Korean Hunters lousy just cos you are speaking Japanese? I learned Japanese as my second language in High School.” A man with moderately short hair and a relaxed gait walked towards the translator.

“Um? Who are you?”

“This man is the Guild Master of the Knights Guild! Brother Park Jong Su!” An enthusiastic voice came from a young man who stood next to Park Jong Su.

“Park Jong Su? That’s the first time I am hearing this name.” Her words set off the young man who preceded to spout facts about their Guild until Park Jong Su stopped him.

After a little disagreement, the translator who was named Hanekawa and Park Jong Su was about to have a duel of their own.

Adding a rule in to not make it a mindless battle, they had to grab the wrist of the other party.

“This is going to involve a lot of mind games,” Hanekawa said lightly before noticing the posture of the opponent. “Don’t tell me you are ready to fight with that posture.”

“There will be no need for me to take my hands out of my pockets unless I am grabbing your wrist.”

Starting, Hanekawa charged straight for Park Jong Su. He stood there with a focused look on his face as he analyzed the way Hanekawa moved in a split-second.

Park Jong Su saw what she was going to do and thus dodged easily and swayed away from her attacks before lifting his leg and pushing her back lightly which offset her motions.

“It’s not cool to make that pose with your crotch area exposed.” Surely enough, Park Jong Su noticed the rip between his pants and lowered his leg quickly. Taking the opportunity while he was seemingly off guard, Hanekawa again moved forward.

“Too slow translator lady.” Park Jong Su caught her wrist as she was right before him.

“You’re the type who sits behind the Main Tanks, right? Not to mention that your combat experience against Humans seems to be non-existent.

“There are all sorts of trouble in Korea, sometimes we have to fight Humans even if we don’t want to. Worst case scenario, we kill them.

“If you don’t consider that Humans can think about tactics and you believe they fight like Magic Beasts, you’re undoubtedly going to suffer and that’s a fact. Believe me, if I was able to grab your wrist, someone with a knife would slash your neck.”

Goto Ryuji spoke to Hanekawa shortly before she announced something.

“To build trust with each other, there’s something Goto wants to do. How about a spar with the same rules but between the S-Ranks.”

Yuuki heard this and went down before the Chairman and Jin-Woo also went down.

“I think we should exclude Mage-Class and Non-combatant Hunters. Also, it is too advantageous for Assassin-Class Hunters if we can only grab each other’s wrist to defeat them, how about touching their back and knocking them down counting as defeating the opponent?” Speaking in Japanese, Yuuki got Goto’s attention as he nodded calmly as Yuuki explained what he said in Korean.

“That sounds fine by me but I say we do it in a group competition.” Baek Yoon-Ho shared similar thoughts to Yuuki as there a few Assassin-Class S-Rank Hunters among Japan.

“Let’s do a five v five, Goto you will participate right?” Looking towards him with an inquiring gaze, Goto thought before nodding unwillingly.

Yawning as he stretched, Yuuki heard the teams.

“The team for the Koreans will be

Hunter Yuuki Satoshi,

Hunter Ma Dong-Wook,

Hunter Cha Hae In,

Hunter Baek Yoon-Ho,

and Hunter Lim Tae Gyu. Any complaints? Okay.

The team for the Japanese will be

Hunter Goto Ryuji

Hunter Tanaka Kenzo

Hunter Hoshino Minoru

Hunter Kumamoto Atsushi

and Hunter Takawa Kanae. Any complaints? Alright, let’s do this.” The Chairman spoke softly yet his voice was heard clearly.

The match started and immediately, four of the five Japanese Hunters were pushed lightly from behind whilst Yuuki had disappeared from the Korean side and only Goto was left.

Goto attempted grabbing Yuuki’s wrist but he missed again and again.

“I thought you were meant to be stronger, not like it would do anything anyway.” Suddenly, Goto was behind him and his hand struck towards Yuuki and it almost hit him but he dodged and reacted at the last second by punching 30 times within a second.

Blood poured profusely from his nose as he held it in annoyance once he got up and glared at Yuuki who shrugged.

“Sorry about that, I could not control my strength as you took me by surprise.” Making a face that he thought was sincere, Yuuki turned away and walked to the side as though the Hunters gazes on him were non-existent.

“Why do you guys look so surprised?” He was speaking towards both the Korean and Japanese Hunters whilst even the Chairman was surprised as everybody’s jaws dropped at Yuuki’s speed. Truth be told, he used [ Blink ] and he could already feel a little of its effects after using it 5 times in succession. Maybe a minute or two between uses would reduce the straining effect it had as he felt pretty stiff now.

He felt satisfied with himself as he looked at Goto’s bloody face.

Cha Hae In had walked to him first before everyone else was able to think of even closing their mouths.

“Okay, you have to tell me, how did you do that? I could sense that you did not move but teleported or something like that.” Facing the blonde, he shrugged.

“It’s a Skill I created. [ Blink ].”

“How does it work?” Lights shined in her eyes as she heard the name and he could understand what she was thinking.

“Well, you need to be able to use Lightning Magic for this but I’ll tell you anyway. By transforming into an electron and travelling via particles, I can move instantaneously however, I can only do so when I touch the ground and its slower when I do it in a liquid or a gas like the air.”

“Wow.” Saying this and nothing else, Cha Hae In stared at Yuuki’s face until he felt a little uncomfortable.

“What are you staring at?” Cha Hae In realized she had been staring too long and turned away in embarrassment. What could she say after all? That she was envious of his skin?

Luckily, Choi Jong-In returned at this moment “What happened here?” Asking as he noticed Goto Ryuji’s bloody face along with everybody’s dropped jaws. His voice brought them out of their reveries as they turned to look at Yuuki with different eyes. Jin-Woo was thinking that he was incredibly much stronger than in the Red Gate before Yuuki cast a healing spell on Goto as he was going to lead the raid so it would be troublesome if he was injured.
