Rumi prepared for the articles interviews. She walked through the giant hall of the biggest hotel in Korea. Not only did they save a seat for the world's best hunter but, there was room for all the hundreds of hunters of each clan team that came as well. Not only ones from Korea but hunters from all over the world. However, the fact that the Korean hunters were on one side of the room separated from everyone else felt a bit strange.

Of course they were proud of a powerful hunter from their country but their faces clearly didn't look happy at all.

“Did you say that famous hunter will be here today?”

“What famous hunter?”

“You haven't heard of the famous hunter that everyone's been talking about?”

A writer asked to another who surprisingly didn't seem to know who he was talking about.

“Uhh…”

“We have to make an honest report, what if it turns out badly? Do we still submit it or try to fix it up?”

“I don't know. I guess we'll worry about that when we get there.”

The journalists chatted with each other about the upcoming interviews. Many of them seemed very unexcited.

“That's it. How are we all supposed to gather here for nothing? Clearly none of us are even interested in writing this story.”

“Yea.”

The oldest reporter said and tore up his piece of paper he was going to write on and threw it onto the floor of the interview room.

“Wow, are you seriously doing this right now?”

One of the other reporters asked him.

“Yes. The Nation Hunter a.s.sociation are talking on the top floor.”

“Oh…”

He replied in disappointment hearing what he said.

“What do you think is going on up there?”

“I don't know but I don't have a good feeling about it.”

“Look. this person is a level nine hunter. So no matter what everyone's going to think the same and praise him. It that not a problem? The top leader of all clans is Gwanjae who is a level 7 hunter but this other guy is a level 9 hunter… There can't not be a problem there.”

“That does make sense…”

A journalist replied.

“What do you think will happen? It can't be anything good.”

“I don't think we need to worry. Everything's been fine these past few days.”

“So, you don't notice anything off?”

“Not really but I can see where you're coming from.”

He replied calmly. Honestly, all of them felt a bit strange about the whole situation as well.

“Everything is just really strange right now. Moreover, if they were to create a new government establishment in the future then… Well, that's all I can say. I'm gonna get going now.”

“Huh? Wait, what were you just saying?!”

He shouted to the oldest journalist but it was too late as he was already out the door.

What he said was left ringing in everyone's head.

A few hours later Rumi announced the beginning of the journalist meeting.

“The National Hunter a.s.sociation of Korea still hasn't accept any requests of raids for Jaehw.a.n.g. However, before then we decided to take matters into our own hands and plan the j.a.panese rescue raid on our own. It would be easy to just wait and deal with whatever answer they had but no time could be wasted on an issue this big.”

“So the National Hunter a.s.sociation of Korea doesn't agree with what you just said?”

A j.a.panese reporter asked.

“Would that be the right words for it? There's already a lot of false accusations about Jaehw.a.n.g being spread around because of a.s.sumptions like that.”

Rumi said to the reporter who then sat back in her seat without another word.

“Alright, next.”

“Is there a doctor provided by the National Hunter a.s.sociation to join hunters on raids?”

“Of course. The well being of the hunter is always being taken care of as much as possible throughout raid missions.”

Rumi answered.

“From the looks of the Nation Hunter a.s.sociation's position in this situation do you think that we could really trust them with our well being?”

“Of course but, didn't I mention about not doubting them? That's something for them to address, not me.”

She replied.

“We understand that but after everything that's happened over here I think we deserve a proper explanation by now.”

“Uhh…”

Seeing that Rumi didn't seem to have an answer for her question the reporter sat back down into her seat in disappointment.

The reporters then seemed to all have fallen into a panic. An American reporter than raised her hand. Rumi then nodded her signaling for the question.

“It looks like Jaehw.a.n.g is now our only hope. But, does he have anyone that helps with all the heavy lifting on missions?”

All the other reporters were interested in hearing the answer for that question as well.

“Well…”

Rumi said trying to answer the question.

“Do you even have an answer to that question?”

At that moment two people showed up next to Rumi. she smiled as if she already knew who they were.

“Thank you.”

After about thirty minutes later the meeting ended.

The moment the interview ended the reports began to send everything from the interview to the news papers.

[The famous hunter appeared at the meeting conference to answer a few questions!]

[The Korean departments journalists also confirmed all the answers we were asking]

[Finally, the answers we've all been asking were answered!]

Tik…

Jaehw.a.n.g sat at a table under the clear sunlight reading one of the articles on his tablet.

“Hm, there's so much focus on this.”

He said to himself.

“Yea. Gwanjae should really give them more answers to avoid a bad reputation.”

Rumi said.

“The articles aren't so bad and people do seem to be receiving them well.”

“I guess you're right.”

Jaehw.a.n.g then stood up from his seat.

He didn't really care that much about the situation but the media seemed to be praising him over every little thing. Of course that would be great for anyone else just Jaehw.a.n.g didn't like all of the attention.

“It's strange. The next second the media could easily be against you…”

“Well, all we can do is make sure everything is fine on our side because only we know the truth.”

Jaehw.a.n.g said.

“You're right. I mean, I know they do this to have a job but aren't they just a bit to much sometimes?”

During the last national raid there was so much damage done that the tax prices went up causing many people to struggle with the sudden expenses.

Rumi indirectly spilled the secret on Jaehw.a.n.g's renunciation of citizens.h.i.+p.

“Do you think it could be because of my renunciation of citizens.h.i.+p?”

Training was his favorite thing to do and he didn't think much of leaving the clan but because of that he may have to start thinking about it.

“There are many hunters in the same situation, I don't think it'll be a problem. Besides, you're different than every other hunter so it's not the same. You would easily reach the requirements anyway.”

Rumi said and Jaehw.a.n.g smiled.

“Alright. But, do you think I should include myself in those taxes anyway?”

“Sure. That should be enough to satisfy some people who may be a bit angry.”

“Yea. And that should gradually help people create more jobs.”

“Not for that.”

“Then, what for?”

“Are you going to keep refusing it, Rumi?”

“Yes.”

Rumi replied.

Rumi hasn't been interested in paying taxes for funding related to monsters ever since her parents died in a monster attack when she was little.

“You should try it. If you invest a little now then your welfare can increase by ten percent by the time you get older.”

He said and Rumi was surprised to hear those results. But she was still very hesitant as she already had her mind made up for a while. She didn't trust anyone to fight and defeat monsters to ensure the deal. Well, there was only one person she trusted. That one person was Jaehw.a.n.g.

Besides him, there was no one else she wanted to put her trust into.

“Thanks for the advice.”

Rumi replied.

“Now, let's hurry and get ready for the Tokyo raid. And, the Nation Hunter a.s.sociation called and refused for us to go through with the attack.”

“What? Unbelievable…”

Rumi said in a shocked tone.

“I'm done here, I'm not hungry anymore.”

Legacy, The end.
