Japan was devastated at the passing of Goto Ryuji, but a new pride of Japan arose from the Jeju Island raid.

S Rank Hunter, Tanaka Mizuki.

Originally the weakest hunter in the world, she has grown into a strong, reliable hunter, she overcame all odds when defeated the S Rank Ant King with the help of S Rank Sung Jin Woo.

When I walked into my home, I was greeted with a slap to the face from Kyoko. "Why the hell didn't you run when you saw that monster? You could've died!"

"I lived didn't I?" I laughed, I could feel tears go down my face, she punched my chest weakly and I let her rest her face in my chest, I felt my shirt become moist from her tears.

"I love you." I heard her say.

"Same here." I murmured, I felt the presence of a huge amount of people gathered behind me, I wiped my tears and turned to address them.

"I'll make one statement on the matter, I'm going to leave Draw Sword and work on my own, I don't want to work with restrictions put on me."

The reporters snapped pictures, recorded videos and took down notes.

"I've made a deal with the Koreans, I'm going to protect both countries, I don't care about the rules, to other guilds out there, if I snipe your Gate, come to me directly, if you beat me, I'll let you kill me but if any of you dare target my family, I'll murder you with no mercy."

I turned my back and walked into my house. I really just sent a calling card to every S Rank and guild in the country.

After I said that, when I opened any of my social media, I could see myself get flamed online. I just tweeted out something simple, I noticed that most of these tweets aren't even from the Japanese, most of them were from Americans.

"If you want to insult me, do it to my face."

I packed my bags and all my luggage. I finally decided, I'm moving to Korea.

My family was coming with me, of course. We appeared at the airport, thousands of reporters were snapping pictures, the blinding flashes of the cameras were starting to annoy me.

"Dominate."

I restricted the movements of every reporter's hands, it wouldn't hurt them, but it sure will stop the cameras.

As I boarded the empty plane, I turned and gave all of them an innocent smile as I deactivated Dominate.

When we arrived in Korea, I immediately asked Go Gun Hee to help set up a press conference while the rest of my family went into their new home I bought.

"Why did you move to Korea?"

"Are you turning your back on the Japanese?"

"How are you going to keep your promise of protecting both countries?"

I was swarmed with questions, but I answered the ones I deemed most important.

"In short, no, I'm not turning my back on the Japanese, I moved to Korea as I took an interest in one of the S Rank hunters here, you definitely know who it is, as for how I'm going to protect both countries..."

I took out a crystal that housed the S Rank Guard Ant and released it. Some of the reporters started screaming, but they quickly stopped when they realized it was not a threat.

"This guy is completely under my control, he can make the flight between both countries in about thirty minutes, so I definitely can protect both."

Japan was the place I was born in, why would I turn my back on it? I'm not Hwang Dong Su, I wouldn't turn my back on my country simply for money.

"Of course, I would prioritize Japan if, for sake of the argument, an S Rank dungeon appeared in both countries, you guys have Sung Jin Woo to protect you, Japan doesn't have Goto Ryuji to rely on anymore."

That was my closing sentence as I left the podium, I went back into the cafe Jin Woo and I went to the first time we met. I ordered the same coffee I had the first time, one nice thing about Korea was that Japan could not do coffee.

"I guess I'll clear a gate or something." I thought aloud as my coffee arrived, I finished it, thanked the waitress and went gate hunting. I quickly found a C Rank gate near my house.

"You need to have a party to enter this gate." The person standing in front of the gate said to me when I tried entering.

I was already on a call with Go Gun Hee, I passed him the phone, "I think you'll dislike this person then." I told him.

His face went from cold and serious to pure shock, it was so hilarious I nearly laughed aloud in front of him.

I entered the gate, and simply killed every monster there, even the boss died to a single hit.

All that effort and I never received a single level. What a waste of time.

I cleared every gate in the area, ranging from C to B Rank gates, I grinded until I hit level 100.

My phone started ringing, the caller was Sung Jin Woo.

"Hello? Tanaka Mizuki here."

"You know what I said about the carthenon temple? You don't have to come, but I think you should, you recently reached Level 100, yeah?"

"Yes, I have, but why would I go?"

"Look at your inventory."

I opened it up and saw a black key, I clicked it and it read.

[Key to the Carthenon Temple]

[Type: Key]

Key to the carthenon temple, the location will be revealed in 21:43:12

"The hell is this? Is this some sort of sick joke?" I asked Jin Woo, I knew I didn't need an answer, I definitely needed to face my fears at some point.

"I have the key too, how about we do the raid together?"
