?!
What? ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
Hul? ㄷㄷ
For real?
ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ
Don’t make a fuss. Foreigners always make a fuss—when has it ever not been like that?
You piece of ****, even when Sword Saint-nim personally invited him you’re still running your mouth like that?
Ah right, Sword n!
The chat was pouring in.
From that remark, the number of live viewers also exploded.
Charlie continued.
“Our UN foresaw such a situation and has continuously, consistently issued warnings for a very long ti. Even now it isn’t too late—we have said we must form a consortium for human peace to confront the System and the Gates. But due to the interests and circumstances of each country, it was thwarted ti and again, and in the end all we could do at the UN was to create the Peacekeepers.”
Charlie’s eyes were gloomy.
It was because mories of a sorrowful, frustrating past flashed by.
He went on.
“But as you all know, with the UN Peacekeepers alone there isn’t that much we can do. It was an extrely urgent situation where we had to find the Big Gate imdiately. Had Mr. An not been there, we might truly have had to face a catastrophe on the scale of a nuclear bomb. Therefore I will take this opportunity to once again assert strongly: even now, we must form a consortium for human peace at once.”
Charlie had co out to support Su-ho, but there wasn’t a single thing he said that wasn’t sincere.
It was the UN’s long-cherished wish and his own long-held desire as well.
Before long the cara zood out and showed the three of them, and the anchor wrapped up.
“It’s a very well-known fact that the UN has tried to organize a peace consortium, so I’m well aware of it too. But now, with not much ti having passed since the second Great Cataclysm began, will each country participate in organizing a peace consortium?”
“That’s why I ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) don’t expect them to.”
The one who answered the anchor’s question was Su-ho.
When the cara cut back to Su-ho, he slowly began to speak.
“Do you perhaps know an old movie called ‘Tomorrow’?”
“You an the one released in 2004 where an ice age cos to Earth?”
“Yes, that’s right. But the original title of that movie is ‘The Day After Tomorrow’...... so if you interpret it, it feels like ‘the day after tomorrow,’ but since having a disaster movie titled ‘the day after tomorrow’ didn’t feel urgent, they changed it to ‘Tomorrow’ when it was released in Korea.”
“Surely the reason you’re bringing up that movie now is?”
“Yes, that’s right. There’s about one month left until the complete opening of the Big Gate. So I dare to predict this: people...... no, perhaps all countries will, because of that leeway of one month, just watch each other and miss the timing to organize the consortium. Therefore, without requesting help from each country, I intend to personally establish an organization that can request help from people all over the world.”
The preface to founding Save the World had begun.
At the sa ti, the chat window started to explode.
????
What?
All of a sudden?
It’s not all of a sudden. Sword Saint-nim says he couldn’t stand it anymore so he’s doing it himself.
Wow, after all that, now he’s even personally making a peace consortium?
The thirsty one digs the well, they say.
You lunatic, is that the right analogy for the current situation?
But you got the gist, right?
Bull****..
The anchor’s reaction was the sa as the chat.
“Pardon? Hunter An, personally?”
“Yes. As the saying goes, the thirsty person digs the well—I’m thinking of establishing a nonprofit. The na is ‘Save the World.’ Literally, it’s an organization to save the world, and aside from confronting the Gates for the sake of human peace, there is no other purpose.”
Save the World......!
My chest is swelling......!
But I feel like I’ve heard that na a lot sowhere?
Can’t you take a hint? Back off.
Sword n.
But can a civil servant establish sothing like this?
He said it’s a nonprofit. Do you not know the NGO concept?
Don’t know. I know CEO though
I also know BINGO. B I N G O dance like crazy~
Ugh, boor stench
Ugh, zoor stench
Glancing sideways at the chat, Su-ho went on.
“Save the World will be a concept a little different from a guild. A guild, after all, has to be similar to a company and make a profit, and it has to pay salaries and settle accounts for its affiliated Hunters, but we intend to fight only for human peace, so we cannot provide any benefits such as salaries and settlents, including continuous equipnt provision and repairs, training, and the like.”
“A volunteer organization in the truest sense.”
“Yes. Whether their level is high or low, I hope Players who think of human peace will join in purpose with us. Ah, of course for activity expenses and such, I intend to use my personal funds first, and if necessary, we will accept sponsorships. Naturally, all records will be disclosed transparently.”
“That’s admirable. But Hunter An Su-ho, you are currently a civil servant working at the Grand Hunter Association—no matter how good the intention, is it possible to establish this type of organization?”
“As far as I know, it’s possible. Still, just in case, we’ve invited so special people for the related authorization.”
At Su-ho’s introduction, the cara zood out.
Then, a short distance away, the waiting figures of Special Departnt Director Jeong Cheol-min and Grand Hunter Association President Im Cheol were shown.
“Hello, I’m Im Cheol, serving as President of the Korean Hunter Association.”
“I’m Jeong Cheol-min, Director of the GHA Special Departnt.”
At the greetings, just like with Charlie, captions with nas and titles popped up beneath their faces.
With the two n’s appearance, the chat window went wild yet again.
The President?
Special Departnt Director?
Wow, I thought it was just a simple follow-up interview, but they really ca out with a plan
But how far has this been discussed?
Hey, he’s the President—of course everything was OK’d in advance.
People’s expectations skyrocketed.
Most reactions were positive.
The reason it wasn’t everyone but most was exactly one.
It was because of the high-ranking officials currently watching the broadcast.
Especially the higher-ups who cared more about the table scraps—their reactions were a masterpiece.
“Pfft?! Cough! Cough! Why is he coming out there?”
“Isn’t that bastard Im Cheol crazy?”
“No, there was no word he was going to appear in a place like that?”
“What country on earth would permit so re civil servant to establish that kind of organization!!”
“Hey, call him right now and tell him to get out!!”
But their calls never reached Im Cheol.
“Uh, his phone is off?”
“What?!”
Im Cheol had already turned off his phone.
Which is why Im Cheol’s heart was pounding harder than ever.
‘I have to do well, have to do well, have to do well......!’
This was a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity that would stake the second act of his political career!
He absolutely could not miss it.
Glancing at the chat reactions, the anchor asked Im Cheol,
“Thank you for coming out. Then, to cut to the chase and ask the core: is the founding of Hunter An Su-ho’s Save the World actually possible right now?”
“Yes, it’s possible.”
“Ah, really?”
“Yes. Frankly, I don’t see why it wouldn’t be. Including Section Chief An, I too am a civil servant who eats the nation’s grain and works belonging to the state—or more precisely, a civil servant who works not for the state but for the people. Heh heh, to put it bluntly, aren’t our salaries money that cos from the people’s taxes? Therefore, going further, the act of protecting human peace itself is work for the nation and the people, so I don’t think it’s that different even if Section Chief An founds Save the World and carries out activities.”
“Then at the governnt level, couldn’t you just create a brand-new departnt and back it?”
“Haha, we could, but there’s less than a month left, isn’t there? And if you look at it, I’m an old-tir too, and having done this I know the sensibilities on this side...... In truth, work chanisms need to be simple. But once so organization gets involved and so country gets involved, greed increases and it becos extrely difficult to proceed. Especially if it becos a governnt agency, wouldn’t it be even more so? In governnt work, you have to submit a stack of approval docunts just to buy a single ballpoint pen.”
Wow ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
He’s really saying it that refreshingly?
Iron Cheol Cola, isn’t it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Seriously refreshing ㅋㅋㅋㅋ But won’t there be blowback later?
Hey, a guy who made it all the way to GHA President—what greed would he have left ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Isn’t that guy also in the Su-ho Knights? Looks like he ca just to cover the Sword Saint ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Can’t believe there’s still soone like that......!
Ah, sweet, so sweet! This is a truly sweet guy!
The reactions were hot.
Naturally so.
The public reacts best when you scratch exactly what they want scratched.
Politicians know mob law is bad law, but do they watch their step for no reason?
Confirming the chat reaction, Im Cheol drove the nail in.
“And to put it bluntly, if we were to lose a world-class talent like Section Chief An just over sothing like founding an organization, that would truly be a national loss. This matter might be an achievent that will remain in human history for ages—would our governnt really make such a foolish choice?”
“Then, President, you’re saying it’s possible?”
“Yes, as far as I know it’s possible. And I’ve co here to support Section Chief An.”
Chant it! Im Cheol!
I am Iron!
Tsk, this is the real Iron Man!
From today, Im Cheol-jwa is Iron Man-jwa!
Send Im Cheol to the National Assembly! No—to the Blue House!!
The fervent evaluations of Im Cheol erupted like a volcano.
Im Cheol barely held down the corners of his mouth that wanted to surge up.
‘It worked! I did everything I could do......!’
Now the rest is up to you, Section Chief An!
Smiling brightly, the anchor said,
“With soone as high as the President coming out and saying this, it really feels reassuring. Doesn’t it, Hunter An Su-ho?”
“Yes, I’m very grateful. In that sense, I’ll state this formally through this broadcast. I intend to found Save the World for human peace. Any Player may apply, but as I said earlier, unlike other organizations, material support is impossible. In most situations, you may even have to use your own money. However, those who will join with the mindset of protecting Earth, please apply through the Save the World hopage that will be opened soon. Ah, and taking this opportunity, I will also introduce, right here and now, the first Hunter Player who will join our Save the World and work together. Moderator?”
The first Player?
This was sothing neither Im Cheol nor Jeong Cheol-min, nor even Charlie had heard in advance.
At Su-ho’s request, the anchor began the introduction.
“Ah, yes. Then from now, we’ll invite the first Player who will be with Save the World. Hunter, would you please co out?”
At the anchor’s request, the cara showed the aisle.
And from within the aisle, soone began to walk out, and the one who revealed himself under the barrage of countless caras and lights was none other than—
“Hello, I am Hunter Player Yasuda Hiro, active in Japan.”
It was Yasuda Hiro, chairman of the Sumiyoshi Guild and Su-ho’s direct disciple.
