Chapter 018 - The Talk (Edited)

"Thank you, for letting us in Raido, Congratulations on becoming an S-rank Hunter," Gun-Hee said with a gentle smile.

"I still need to be re-examined after three days," Raido replied.

"Ahh that," The chairman chuckled, then continued, "To be honest, The re-examination is meaningless. A precise detector is to help us segment the result. It's not a tool to help us measure outside the scoping range."

'I knew it.' Raido thought and just nodded, prompting Gun-Hee to continue.

"It is impossible for us to distinguish between, S, SS, and SSS-rank." The chairman explained.

"Ahh, I get it. The point of 3 days delay is for you to have the chance to recruit me before anyone else can?" Raido deducted.

Raido already knows that immeasurable magic power equals S-rank because of the reaction of the scouts the other day.

The chairman clapped then said, "Exactly, you are good at this, As you know Hunter Association doesn't have many talents such as Chief, Woo Jin-Chul, Who wants to join the association when the top guilds can guarantee great fame and large salaries."

Raido looked at Jin-Chul then said, "He seems very strong and reliable, I already like him."

"I'm glad for your praise sir," Jin-Chul slightly bowed. Earning sincere recognition from a powerhouse is always a good thing.

The Chairman noticed that this is the best time to offer recruitment so he said, "I will go straight to the point, Since we are not an enterprise we cannot give you lots of money, but we can offer something in return...we can help you flourish in a different path."

The chairman explained that he can give Raido "Authority," If he joined them. He also said that this country is not run by the government but by the hunter association.

He also informed that the balance of the country is being held by the following guilds, Hunters Guild, Fame Guild, White Tiger Guild, Fiend Guild, and knights Guild. They are the top 5 guilds.

He also pointed out that if Raido joined any one of them the balance would be toppled and will throw the country into chaos.

"What would be your decision?" The chairman said with a hopeful voice. He knows that he doesn't have much time left, and Raido being an S-class will be a worthy successor.

"It's not a bad proposal, It's actually very promising, but I'm sorry, I can't accept such offer" Raido said with a serious voice.

'It all about the money again?' Gun-Hee thought.

"But I can offer you a better proposal," Raido said with a cheeky smile.

The Chief and the Chairman give Raido a curious look.

Raido stood up then said, "I can give you both eternal life." Both of Raido's visitors stare at him with utter shock in their eyes. If Raido can really promise that then the Chairman doesn't need to rush to find someone who can inherit his position.

Raido discovers that he has full control of all of his Endermen. For example, if he doesn't want Pico to talk then Pico cannot talk, if he doesn't want Pico to think then Pico's ability to think will be no more.

"Hunter Raido, are you serious? if you have an ability like that then..." The chairman said, he still not fully believing Raido.

Raido willed Pico to get out, A black goo came out from Raido's body then formed a human.

"She is an A-rank hunter from Japan, Formerly a guild leader from a small guild, She died inside of the red gate, So I revived her, now she possesses an undying body, Go on and try to kill her," Raido explained.

"Dude, I can still feel pain ya know?" Pico said while pouting.

"Don't worry I will turn off your pain receptors," Raido said with a gentle smile.

"Dude, I don't know you can do that, Alright do it!" Pico shouted.

Raido removed the pain receptors in Pico's body by willing it. Pico instantly notices the changes in her body...she can't feel anything making her balance somewhat wonky.

"D-d-dude!" Even speaking is hard for Pico in her current situation.

Raido quickly felt guilty seeing Pico's situation and decided to turn on Pico's pain receptors.

"Dude! That's worse than dying, so traumatizing!" Pico shouted and reprimanded Raido.

Raido quickly apologizes then explains why he did that. He even pointed out that Pico agreed before he did it to her.

During their interaction with each other, the Chairman already observes that Raido is a good person. He smiled and thought, 'I don't mind being an eternal slave for such a person if that means I can protect humanity for a longer time, But I still need to confirm the eternal life part.'

*Ahem*

The chairman fakes his cough to get the attention of Raido and Pico.

"Sorry for this," Gun-Hee said, then sent a karate chop to Pico's head effectively beheading her.

[Enderman Pico Died, Do you want to create her a new body for 1000mp? or 500mp to revive her current body.]

'That's new, the system didn't give that option last time,' Raido thought.

Raido can stop that attack but decided against it. He turned off Pico's pain receptors before Pico couldn't even see the attack coming.

Pico's body quickly turned to black goo after dying.

"So? where is immortality?" Gun-Hee said seriously.

"Don't be so impatient chairman, Pico get back up," Raido said.

The black goo quickly compressed then turned into Pico again.

"Woo! That's a fast one! Good job, Now that I think about it, I need to be stronger. I can't keep dying right?" Pico said with a huge smile. She really is an easy-going person.

The chairman took a deep breath, he couldn't afford to die because of shock. "What's the catch?"

Go Gun-Hee knows that people always want something in return.

"Korea relies on you and frankly I don't want the responsibility of saving Korea when you are gone," Raido explained.

Pico then quickly entered Raido's body. Frankly, she doesn't care about the world, She only cares about Raido and gaming. She only founded a guild so she can buy in-game items, dude micro transactions sucks.

Raido thought that by having the chairman and the chief as his endermen, He will have the full support of the association without joining them, which made it a win-win situation.

"The stakes are too high, but I can't propose any failsafe, So I conclude that I just need to trust you," The chairman is really desperate even if he is not showing it.

In the worst case scenario, he can request the support of the other S-Class to subjugate Raido.

"But Chairman!" Chief Jin-Chul wanted to voice his opinion but quickly got shot down by the chairman's aura.

'It's really heavy…" Jin-Chul said as he knows how much weight this aura is carrying. It's carrying the weight of peace.

"Well then let's start, Sleep!" Raido said in a low voice. Jin-Chul and Gun-Hee quickly fall unconscious.

'Wha-' Jin-Chul wanted to say that he doesn't want immortality but well…what is done is done.

Raido used his mind manipulation skill to force them to sleep, with his 269 intelligence forcing them to go unconscious is not even a problem.

Raido needs to enter their dreams before he can eat their souls. After that, he needs to create two Slenderman Pages to write their name at. Then put the pages in his inventory for safe keeping, ahh, so meticulous.

'Be prepared, Slendy is coming for you...' Raido thought then used [Mind Manipulation] skill to enter their dreams.
