It was aide Lee Parkhee who sent a message to Lee Beomjin and Kim Changho at the same time.

[Hunter Tak Inae has checked the personal drone. There’s a picture of that Ninja punk’s Ninjatō. It seems that the ninja has been smuggled into the country again. Be prepared for an attack!] 

The reason is unknown, but the characteristics of the Hunter were slightly different in each country. 

Korea has a lot of high-ranking hunters compared to its population, and most of the hunters have a high sense of patriotism and respect.

The neighboring country, Japan, was a little different.

The hunters themselves were rare, let alone high-ranking hunters, and the existing hunters couldn’t be found to be patriotic.

They all had strong personal tendencies, and those who were involved in state affairs were rare.

The S-class, the strongest in Japan, was also from Okinawa, so there was no shadow at the national event, and it didn’t come out well outside Okinawa.

However, the SS class that appeared the year before last year and the SS class that appeared last year were different.

Jiro Ishii, who was identified as Japan’s first SS class the year before last year, was unique from the beginning of becoming a hunter, but he devoted himself to politics. 

Last year’s SS-class enlisted in the Self-Defense Forces and rose to the position of Chief of Staff (Korea’s Chief of Staff).

Up to that point, it was the situation of another country, but the problem was the fact that the SS-level hunter, codenamed ‘Ninja’, who was the last commander of a country, had a bad personality. 

He also had a hobby of finding faults in Korea whenever he had time.

In particular, he made all sorts of nonsense on SNS and actually did all kinds of things over and over again. 

But not all accidents caused by ninja were known.

There were several cases in which the Korean and Japanese governments covered up with secret agreements because they thought there would be a war if the people found out.

One of them was an incident that took place last year, where Hunter Lee Beomjin was seriously injured. 

In modern society, Hunters have been a measure of national power and a key asset to the nation.

However, it wasn’t easy for the Hunters with high class, especially combat skills, to do so because they were usually aggressive. 

In the early days, hunters from poor countries fought like crazy and lost their lives.

They did a great deal of damage around them as they fought.

Cities were blown away, and several countries were hit with near destruction.

Thus, with close cooperation, governments of each country established a credible organization called the World Hunter Union, modeled after the United Nations, and enacted laws.

– Hunters can only fight with the permission of the Secretary General of the World Hunters Union.

Realistically, it is impossible to eradicate the fight completely, so it was decided like this. 

– If another hunter is killed without a justifiable reason, they shall be severely punished.

And they made this law.

In particular, when this provision was violated, several hunters were punished by gathering and attacking.

No matter how high the rank is, you can’t beat the majority.

The lives of several murderers who ran wildly were cut off.

After that, the fighting stopped, but it didn’t stop completely.

Because the ‘law of invariability of the total number of crazy people’ that there are a certain number of crazy people everywhere exists even among hunters. 

In fact, there were more crazy people among the Hunters.

Thinking that they couldn’t kill them, they also argue with Hunters from other countries. 

One of them was a Ninja.

As a human being who grew up in a far-right family, Ninja was delusional about colonizing Korea again.

‘To do that, I have to kill ‘Archer’ Lee Beomjin, the pillar of the Korean Hunter world!’

He picked up this logic somewhere and swallowed it.

He smuggled into Korea with the intention of sacrificing himself.

While other main hunters were in the dungeon, he attacked Lee Beomjin. 

At that time, Lee Beomjin was regenerating a leg he lost while saving a teammate during the level 9 dungeon raid, so his body wasn’t in a normal condition. 

Furthermore, Ninja had taken civilians around him as hostages, and Lee Beomjin had no colleagues to help him.

Despite such a situation, Lee Beomjin beat Ninja without sacrificing a single person.

He was a former representative of Korea’s archery team, which is more difficult to become than passing through a needle hole. 

He was on the Korean national archery team, which is harder with his needle’s eye.

His mental strength, judgment, ability to put things to use, and other skills besides class and skills were all very outstanding.

He was also a veteran hunter who had become a hunter on the first day the dungeon opened and had gained a lot of hands-on experience by facing and overcoming many difficulties.

Unlike Lee Beomjin, Ninja was just a kid who had not been a hunter for less than three months, couldn’t handle his skills properly, and had no combat experience. 

In the end, he was completely defeated by Lee Beomjin and almost died. 

Ninja would have died if the Japanese ambassador to Korea, who went to Korea as soon as he heard that Ninja was sneaking into Korea and attacking Lee Beomjin with hostages, hadn’t offered a huge price.

Ninja was so humiliated to have survived like that.

The best part was when he breaking Lee Beomjin’s main weapon, the bow called “Dan.”

Lee Beomjin stepped down from the scene, whether he was shocked by the fact or for any other reason. 

He handed over the guild to his colleague and took a position in office as the Minister of Department of Ability and began to do public affairs. 

Ninja trained hard to become strong while continuing to grasp Lee Beomjin’s movements. 

‘I will take revenge!’

He thinks he’s the victim when he’s the perpetrator.

While training, he learned about Korea through SNS, and at the same time, he worked hard to gather information about Korea and Lee Beomjin.

Because information is power. 

However, the sky was indifferent, and the SS Class appeared in Korea! 

That wasn’t all.

SSS Class also appears! 

‘How can it be!’

Ninja felt so unfair that he couldn’t even do SNS and cried a lot, and decided with a solemn heart.

‘Let’s make it self-destruct!’ 

Those who had just become hunters were weak because they had no combat experience and didn’t know how to use skills well. 

Still, the defense was as strong as the class, so they couldn’t kill it, but it wasn’t that there was no way at all.

Self-destruction. 

If someone mentally shocked and goes crazy, they may die while using their skills at will.

Then the surroundings were all blown away.

There was a time when such a disaster actually happened.

‘If the SSS-class hunter explodes!’

Of course, if there was Lee Beomjin around, they would have died together.

No, it will be more than that.

The higher the class, the greater the destructive power is. 

‘Maybe, Korea will be destroyed!’

It’s a pity that they couldn’t make it a colony, but the ending was okay.

He was waiting for his death.

The ninja quickly made various preparations and came back into Korea again.

He safely infiltrated the building of the Department of Ability.

There were many magics and several artifacts installed.

However, he had stealth skills like a hunter with the code name ‘Ninja’.

‘But I’d better be careful.’

He has been training since he last survived, but if he made a mistake, he could be caught by Lee Beomjin.

‘Let’s aim for a time when the distance with the SSS Class hunter is widened.’

Ninja waited a little away from the conference hall and the waiting room. 

He moved only after seeing the press conference begin through monitors all over the building of the Department of Ability. 

He entered the waiting room as if to permeate while maintaining stealth.

‘So that’s the damn SSS Class!’

She was small and fragile enough to provoke the urge to break her neck with one hand.

Of course, it’s SSS Class, so it’s actually a huge monster. 

Then the Ninja heard.

「But contrary to what is known, it is not SSS Class.」

He was able to understand Lee Beomjin’s announcement thanks to the interpreter artifact he was wearing. 

‘Then are you saying she’s the same SS class as me? Since she became a hunter yesterday, she has no experience and can’t master all of her skills, so she can’t even follow my toes.’

Ninja looked down on the little girl with arrogance.

‘That girl in the back must be her mother, right?’

At first glance, she has a very ordinary face.

However, as an SS Class hunter, Ninja was able to see through A Class artifacts.

The mother of the woman identified in the photo in advance was correct.

‘You have a pretty face and a good body.’

He wanted to play with it, but it was a pity that he couldn’t.

Ninja licked his lips with his tongue, then took out the Ninjatō he treasured as much as his life and held it in his right hand. 

‘I have to cut it out right away and spray it on that Hunter X face.’

He aimed it right at the woman’s heart when he threw it.

‘….!’

Sadly, however, the attack failed.

It was because Lee Beomjin moved like lightning and stood in front of the woman like a shield. 

He blocked the hilt of the Ninjatō with both palms by pressing it from both sides.

But since last year’s failure, Ninja has also trained his left hands.

He took out a second Ninjatō with his left hand and swung it.

With all his strength. 

Then, he was able to put Ninjatō in the middle of Lee Beomjin’s heart! 

‘The information that his defense has weakened since he was injured last year is true!’ 

It was known that Lee Beomjin retired from the scene because he lost his main weapon externally.

However, according to the information he secretly obtained, it was clear that it was actually because of the lack of defense. 

‘Otherwise, a Ninjatō couldn’t go so deep!’ 

But it didn’t penetrate because of some resistance.

It seems that Lee Beomjin is wearing a protective artifact made by Hephaestus, a Greek SS Class Hunter.

But that power was limited, too.

‘The information about the defense and the lack of resilience is also true, right? I can kill you! I can really kill you this time! I did a really good job putting ‘That Poison’ on!’

If it was the way it was, the poison wouldn’t work.

But at this rate, it will be a fatal blow.

‘If I kill that SS Class mother now! I can destroy Korea!’

Before that, he was thinking of getting Lee Beomjin’s heart out even more by taking out the Ninjatō. 

But he couldn’t. 

“Minister!”

“Protect it!”

“Call Yoon Seokae right now! St. Patrick, Hwata, and Kranido!”

It was because of the Korean hunters who were screaming and rushing for his lives.

‘Annoying!’

They would have known he was an SS class.

Even so, they didn’t hesitate to attack him, even if they weren’t a high rank like B class or higher, and even the garbage below that level.

Lee Beomjin, it was probably because of their loyalty to this guy.

‘Tsk!’

Ninja lost the Ninjatō that was inserted into Lee Beomjin’s heart.

It was not the only one.

Although it is an A class, the hunter ‘Bull’, who is said to be close to the S class, poured all his strength into the attack, and he couldn’t avoid it. 

Boom! 

As he fell back, his body was half stuck in the wall.

There was considerable pain, and blood came out of his mouth.

Ninja was very angry. 

“(You bugs!)”

He banged his fists against the wall, shouting.

Bang! Bang! 

The wall that was hit by a rough punch cracked even more, and broke into a roar.

The left fist punched a hole the size of a human being, which was also the wall of the press conference room. 

“What’s going on?”

“What’s this?”

“Huh!”

During a live press conference, the reporters were in a panic when the Minister suddenly disappeared. 

But suddenly, a roar broke out in the next room, and the wall broke and there was a hole.

What they see through the hole.

“Ninja!”

And Korean hunters who are desperately building a defensive line.

“Archer—!”

Lee Beomjin, who had just shown a healthy appearance, was lying behind Korean hunters.

With a Ninjatō in the heart, dripping red blood.

Everyone froze and couldn’t breathe.

Ninja laughed when she found numerous cameras facing this way. 

“(Yeah, go ahead. Be sure to watch all your hunters die before they are destroyed!)”

Ninja took out all 20 shurikens from his pocket.

It’s also poisoned, so those weak hunters will all die just by brushing against them.

He threw the shurikens. 

It was then. 

【Disappeared.】

There was a voice he heard.
