Devour My Own Path

2 weeks before departure.

Hyun was reading a document about the upcoming hunters at the meeting in Geneva.

The atmosphere in the guild room was completely empty. There were only Hyun and Oliver. Even the Areum who was always attached to Oliver was also invisible. Hyun had asked where the other members were.

It turned out that they were raiding with other guilds. Oliver said that it was because of Hyun. After the previous raid, the three felt that they didn't want to lose to someone who hadn't even been a hunter for 6 months. So, they worked hard not to be left behind and just become a burden on the guild.

There is a bad feeling in their sunbae because it makes them try to die so as not to be a burden. However, Oliver said that Hyun's existence was a motivation to keep going.

"They're great people..." said Hyun was amazed when he saw the profiles of the young hunters who were going to join the meeting.

Hearing that, Oliver looked at Hyun from behind the document he was reading. "Are you afraid?"

Hyun flipped through the paperwork, looking at the profiles of the other hunters. "It's a lie if I don't feel scared and insecure," he said with a bitter smile.

"Nuna also said that you never brought anyone before" Hyun read the last document that told about Hyoma.

Oliver from Japan? Cool designation.

The rest of the documents that Oliver had to check had been exhausted. He got up from his chair and put on a coat. Then walked towards Hyun who was sitting on the sofa. "That's right! There, you'll get all the attention."

Hyun's eyes saw Oliver who was getting ready and walked towards him. He closed the document. He stretched his body.

"It's a pity I can't refuse it... uaghh.."

"Looks like your luck is high, Hyun" Oliver stopped in front of Hyun.

Hm?

"Come with me! It seems like someone wants to take your position," he said while walking towards the door.

"Seizing positions? could it be that you mean..."

Getting up from the couch, Hyun follows Oliver out.

"Yes, he's waiting at the headquarters training ground"

They went down the elevator.

"Ugh... Can I just give him that position?"

Oliver looked at Hyun out of the corner of his eye. "I'm sure his personality won't accept it"

"Ah...a bastard"

The two got out of the elevator and walked to the car that had been neatly parked in front of the lobby. Several employees greet Oliver.

As soon as he got into the car, Hyun asked why he didn't leave right away like when he dropped him off with speed of light. "At least in official travel, we have to be a human being"

Arriving at the association office, the atmosphere was no different from an ordinary day. When Oliver came out, they just stared at him. But, their gazes were more emphasized on Hyun.

The news about him being the new member of Oliver's guild and the candidate he was going to bring, became a hot talk. And because of this, there was one person who seemed to feel himself more deserving, waiting to find trouble.

Shortly after entering the lobby, a large but slender figure came approaching.

Isn't that Kim Daewon, a hunter who has only recently reached the rank of UR and the current head of the Korean hero family?

Daewon looked at Hyun as if he was judging. "What is that kid you mean, Oliver?"

"Enough of the talk, I don't have time to deal with your son's infidelity," Oliver said as he looked at his watch without paying attention to Daewon.

Oh no! It looks like he is about to explode with his red face.

"Haha, what a cold greeting" his thin mustache seemed to tremble.

Without continuing the conversation, Daewon walked to the training ground.

After walking for a few minutes to the basement, the three arrived at the location. Not only hunters association, several journalists were also seen sitting there. Waiting for hot news that will come out soon.

Seeing Oliver's arrival, the reporters seemed to see an oasis in the middle of the desert. Immediately they took pictures. Something like Oliver's big face on the cover of the news is a must.

Halfway through, Hyun is guided by what appears to be an associate staff then Oliver and Daewon go to watch.

Is it possible that we will fight just to win the candidate's position?

Hyun looked at the center of the training ground, standing a person who seemed to be more than two or 2 years older than him, staring at him sharply.

"Look at his gaze... It's like wanting to pounce on something," Hyun said quietly.

"So you..."

Just as Hyun arrived at the duel venue, Yoon Seok had already exuded a strong aura of hostility.

"Ah, do... Introduction-"

"You bastard! It's appropriate that he behaves like a leech, it turns out that his parents were educated"

"What...?!"

Despite being shocked and angry, Hyun tried to hold him back.

Yoon Seok smiled condescendingly. "Not only licking Oliver, even Korea's no. 2 hunter too..."

What does he want to say...

"Even selling your own little sister for your profit..."

"Aren't your parents good at educating their children, huh?!"

Silence.

All were silent when Yoon Seok said that. Everyone knows that Yoon Seok's personality is very bad when compared to his younger sister, Hyejin. However, they didn't expect it to be this bad. To say bad things about someone's family.

"Very bad..." Oliver closed his eyes.

Daewon who was sitting beside him, likely had a face as thick as his reputation. He just stared indifferently.

Kill! I'm going to kill him!

Everyone is waiting to see what response Hyun will give to such an exaggerated and seemingly condescending provocation.

Master, calm down!

"No system..."

"I'm going to tear up that garbage mouth!"

Master, you don't have to dirty your hands with his dirty blood.

"....."

Replying by destroying it isn't cool, master.

Just reciprocate with innocence and smash your self-esteem to pieces.

"Haaahh..."

Thanks to his passive skill, Hyun's mind calmed down again.

"You are indeed a genius, system"

Thank you, master!

Seeing his opponent who was silent, Yoon Seok felt irritated and tried to lure him back.

"Ahahaha I'm sorry, I just heard the barking of the dog" said Hyun innocently while stroking the back of his head.

Silence returns.

All didn't expect Hyun's relaxed response. Some even chuckled afterwards. Feeling that what Hyun said was true.

In front of him, Yoon Seok's face is as red as his father when he greets Oliver.

"You..!!"

"Ah, it looks like I'm starting to understand the language of dogs! Do you want to defecate?"

"Sorry, it doesn't seem like there are any toilets for animals here"

Several laughing voices were heard from behind the audience seats. Hyejin who was sitting in her family row also chuckled.

Although Hyejin loves her brother, she is also worried about her brother's overly impulsive attitude. So, seeing him humiliated like this, made Hyejin a little happy. Hoping that one day her brother will realize that he is not the main character of a novel.

Yoon Seok's own strength is gravity. It can control the gravity around it, whether it becomes heavy or light. And right now, Yoon Seok is almost reaching UR. There are 20 levels left for him.

Indeed, among the younger generation, Yoon Seok is the best and a hunter who has great potential. But because of his personality, Oliver didn't glance at him in the slightest.

Actually, the duel had started since Hyun entered the arena. However, due to Yoon Seok's provocation, the two did not immediately clash.

Once his pride is lowered, Yoon Seok presses the duel area with his strength. Signaling the start of a duel.

"Oops! There's an angry dog..."

Hyun twisted Danjo who had changed into the shape of a wand. "Dance, Danjo! Hit that naughty dog!"

The focus of gravity was reduced to only the area where Hyun was standing. Makes him fall seated.

"Weak..." said Yoon Seok coldly.

Tap tap.

A flick knocks Yoon Seok's shoulder.

Soon Yoon Seok turned around and saw Hyun who was smiling while waving at him. "Wha-"

With his wand, Hyun hits Yoon Seok's head who hasn't even fully turned around. Making Yoon Seok fall down.

Everyone was shocked including Hyejin and Daewon. Hyun who fell sat down, was just a clone.

Yoon Seok wakes up and searches for the whereabouts of Hyun who disappeared.

"Are you looking for me, Blakie?"

Suddenly Hyun was in back of Yoon Seok in a squatting position. As before, before Yoon Seok saw him, Hyun immediately hit him. Makes him overturn.

With his strength, before falling, Yoon Seok lightened his body which made him float. "You..!!"

"So it can be used like that..." Hyun looked at Yoon Seok who was slowly standing up.
