Chapter 143 - Bet

"This is Korea's top. There is no need to see it anymore."

"You sure," 

Goto said as he looked at Ryuu again.

When they were talking about their views about this they heard a voice.

"Sir translator, what did you just say? Korean hunters aren't good. Did you think we didn't know Japanese? It was my second language in high school." 

And the argument developed into a match between them. So 2 A-Ranks are going to have a match. Ryuu and his group made their way down next to them. And some new rules were added such as touching the opponents back or knocking them over is also a win and the match will be a group match rather than a one on one. And goto accepted it.

They asked if Cha Hae-in could join, which he just nodded and whispered for her to hold back since she can easily defeat every single one for them. Physically, her strength was at most a General rank but her speed and skills are what makes her a Marshal Rank. 

'He just wants to assess his abilities, that's it. so it doesn't matter to him how it is done.'

Ryuu thought as he could still feel Goto looking at him and returned it with a wave. From the Korean side the participants were Baek Yoon-ho, Ma Dong-Wook, Cha hae-in, and Im Tae-Gyu, and from the Japanese side were Tanaka Kenzo, Hoshino Minoru, Kumamoto Atsushi, and Tawata Kanae.

She took a glance at me then went towards the ring. Then the fight started with hae-in defeating Kanae with her speed. Kanae wasn't even able to react.

'She has gotten faster.' 

And Kenzo defeated Dong-Wook after some time. After that Im Tae-Gyu lost to Minoru. Then Kenzo and Hoshino teamed up against Yoon-ho as Hae-in was about to help him. Atsushi appeared behind her.

She was surprised and punched him in the face 20 times in less than a second. Everyone was surprised because of her speed and how fast her punches were.

"Kumamoto is angry now, when that bastard gets angry his personality changes," 

The hunter named Tatsumi said.

"It's not his personality he just loses all reason. He isn't meant for fighting in competitions. But he can clear B-Rank gates alone." 

The hunter named Kei said.

"And he doesn't remember anything after the fight,"

Akari said

"I'm only trying to test them if it gets serious, we need to step in," 

Goto said.

"If we have to stop it is better to do it now. I don't think we can pay for the damages he is about to cause."

The translator said then Atsushi appeared in front of Hae-in and tried to kick her in the face. And the kick landed at least that is what it looked like.

'She has developed some of her forms already.'

'Breath of light, Mirage.' 

It creates an afterimage to confuse the opponent as the real target disappears. it might look simple but it was quick, faster than Ryuu could see if he wasn't paying attention. Hae-in appeared behind Atsushi and Touched his back.

Then she was about to go to help Yoon-ho but suddenly Atsushi attacked her. However, Cha Hae-in speed was obviously superior and easily able to move for quite a distance.

"That guy just went berserk. Aren't you going to help her?"

Rias was watching the fight with Ryuu who was unfazed by all the action. 

"I know, Cha Hae-in and I trust her ability to handle it. If not then I'll step in."

If he were to interfere just because he is anxious about them then all the training that he put his woman through would be nothing. Ryuu trusts their abilities to face danger and overcome it.  

'I can't hold back anymore.'

Cha Hae-in evaded all the attack before landing another consecutive attack but this time knock Atsushi shocking everyone.

'How did Cha Hae-in improve this much?'

Choi Jong-In worked with her for 2 years and seeing her ability compared to Atsushi should be below his yet was able to overpower her opponent. 

"Great work, Cha Hae-in."

Ryuu appeared next to Cha Hae-In causing everyone to be dumbstruck, having barely been able to sense him move. 

'This is…how can someone move without us noticing!? Even if he is an assassin it should be impossible to not leave any trace of mana.'

Goto thought to himself looking at Ryuu as the fight finish with him giving a towel to Cha Hae-In as two about return to Rias but Ryuu was stopped by japanese translator.

"Hunter Cinco, can you wait for Goto-san to have something to say?" 

She spoke in Japanese since records show that he was part Japanese. 

"What is it?"

"I want to have a spar with you, but I want you to use your full power." 

He said while realizing his aura. Ryuu folded his hands into his chest and looked at him. Rias and Cha Hae-in looked at each other knowing that his full strength within this world was beyond human. 

"Hahaha, that is an interesting request but I don't think you can handle my strength since you are far too weak."

He said to him while standing some distance away from and all the other S-ranks stood at the end of the gymnasium as they looked at the confrontation in front of them. They were stunned when they heard my words as it was too unbelievable. He just said to the No.2 hunter in Asia that his strength is nothing. The Japanese hunter's jaw nearly touched the ground

How much confidence do you need to say that to a man who was practically one step away from becoming a national-level hunter? This is what everyone is thinking. 

Jin-woo was just smirking while looking at this as this is the first time he has seen Ryuu show his strength and he was excited while looking forward to their clash.

He knows that he is stronger than Goto but Ryuu? Jin woo doesn't have the confidence to even fight him.

"My, My how interesting,"

Jong-in said while looking at them. 

"You are too arrogant."

Goto shouted while releasing more of his aura. Ryuu was unfazed by it, feeling little more than a breeze.

"Speak for yourself. If you are confident then how about a little bet?"

Ryuu smirked, having planned for the opportunity to steal a member from him. He was interested in Kanae Tawata since he is a sucker for women with great physique. Though, it might be confusing for the reader since she has the same name as Kanae Kocho but the hell with it. 

"What do you propose?"

"Whoever wins will owe a favor from the loser and whatever the request must be done."

He suggested annoying Goto with his smirk.

"Very well."

In a flash, he moved towards Ryuu thinking that he already won as his hand was inches away from Ryuu.

'Blame your arrogance for this!'

However, within an instant Ryuu took a deep breath before lifting one of his fingers and instantly made Goto feel a massive pressure causing his body to feel along with the other members except Kanae Tawata. He was using his [ Daemon Blood Emperor Magic ] manipulating their body rather easily and their resistance in magic is laughable. 

He wasn't even able to move while looking at him in horror.

"What was that all? And you were so confident just now right. See there your subordinate is stronger than you." 

He said while pointing at Kanae and continued. Ryuu used his magic on her as well but it seems her strong head temperament was able to at least keep herself from submitting. 

'I wonder what kind of magic she would gain if I taught her.'

Ryuu thought curious what kind of abilities she'll gain but returned his attention to Goto.

"You're all bark but no bite. I wonder what kind of monster you've been fighting? You haven't fought a strong opponent before. You're nothing more than a big fish in a small pond."

Ryuu started to head back with the others while the Japanese hunter became wary of him seeing a monster rather than a human. He ignored them, glancing at Tawata giving a friendly smile before he left with the girls and asked Go Gun-Hee about the discussion in the plan for the raid. 

'What was that about?'

She was confused then turned her thoughts on how he was able to make them all tremble with just lifting his fingers. 

"My my you seem to have an admirer now, Kanae-san! I pity once he knows what you're really like to be around."

Her friend teased her, forgetting what just happened earlier and causing a vein to appear in Tawata's forehead and tried to strike her friend.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST TO ME!?"
