Armand was organizing an investigation team to investigate a strange phenomenon in Africa.

The cause of the phenomenon was estimated to be a large number of viruses, so it took quite a bit of time to prioritize hunters with high immunity to the current disease.

“Huh, it’s finally over.”

He sighed as he looked at his survey team schedule.

There are a lot of talented people, but they are composed only of those with certain skills beyond Africans.

Since they have already been verified, they will investigate, analyze, and return without difficulty.

Armand pressed the button next to him and called his secretary.

“Did you call?”

“It’s a schedule. Deliver it quickly.”

"all right."

The secretary, who received the schedule, headed to the New World Operations Planning Office.

Now that the personnel are gathered, he will issue orders from there.

Then the door opened and another secretary entered.

He said while filing a report.

“Information sent by regional associations in the Middle East.”

Since the Middle East is not far from Africa, it was the most sensitive region to Africa along with Southern Europe.

They always focused on what was happening all over Africa, and they gathered information about the phenomenon faster than anywhere else.

"Hmm."

Armand frowned after reading his report quickly.

“People with black jewels on their foreheads?”

From Kenya, humans with black jewels on their foreheads were seen wandering around lifelessly.

Kenya was a country that could not withstand the opening of the portal at the beginning of the portal impact and quickly collapsed.

It became a barren land where humans could not live, and to this day it was treated as a forbidden area.

However, quite a large group of humans were found there.

He had a black jewel on his head.

That was not the end.

A similar phenomenon was occurring in Tanzania, Ethiopia and Somalia, which is adjacent to Kenya.

“Even if something happened, it happened firmly.”

“I’m not that incompetent.”

Then, an unfamiliar voice came from behind.

The secretary hurriedly pulled the weapon out of his waist, but convulsed once and passed out.

Armand did not move hastily and asked the person standing behind him.

“Who are you?”

“Are you not aware of your voice?”

Armand's eyebrows furrowed slightly at those words.

He looked back carefully.

“Isaac!”

“You must have forgotten your face. After all, it would be strange to not know his face as he is watching me every day like a voyeur.”

Saying that, Isaac walked forward.

Then he shoved his feet under the fallen secretary's stomach and kicked it.

"men and horses!"

Armand shouted as he watched the secretary fly away.

“I’m not going to die like that.”

“A guy like you, when he was a kid or now… … !”

"huh."

He snorted his nose, dragged a chair with Magi and sat down.

Armand frowned and laid the secretary straight down with telekinesis.

“What have you been up to here? Rather, how do you know where it is?”

“There is no way that only you can see me, right?”

“… … Did you trace back?”

“Nothing difficult.”

[Kuh-hee! There is nothing difficult about that!]

The magic sword followed Isaac's words.

Armand stared at the demon sword with his narrowed eyes.

The ego sword that led Isaac to corruption.

Its power is unmeasurable, and it made Isaac leap into an S-class hunter in an instant.

Two years later, he must have grown a lot more than he did back then, so it was not enough to say that he was truly astonished.

“Don’t look at me too scary.”

“So what did you come here for? There must be no reason.”

“I want to get some help.”

"help?"Armand's eyes widened.

He didn't even think that those words would come out of Isaac's mouth.

In two years, he hadn't heard a single request from the New World.

Far from that, he threatened to kill whenever he sent someone.

He wasn't just watching.

But the words of help came out of such a writer's mouth.

Armand didn't know how to react.

“Is it a shocked face?”

“Then won’t you be shocked?”

“It could be.”

He was Isaac who was fully aware of what he had done.

[Kihee! Ki-hee-hee!]

"Shut up."

[!]

Isaac, who suddenly slammed his bizarrely smiling demon sword, looked at Armand again.

“It’s about the African thing.”

“You knew it too.”

“Isn’t it weirder not to know?”

Isaac was the only hunter currently churning around Africa.

“What, exactly, are you looking for help?”

“Give me information about the monstrous phenomenon and auxiliary items. And you don’t go out at all.”

"what?"

“I am enough alone.”

[Not enough! cancer! Enough, enough! Kiki Kiki!]

“Shut up.”

[Geek!]

Isaac slammed the demon sword hard again.

Armand was taken aback by the blatant request.

He came to visit us, stunned the secretary, and now gives us information and items.

This wasn't a request for help, it was a threat.

“Can you do it on your own?”

“It’s not difficult if you just listen to my request.”

Armand laughed at the confident answer.

“Aren’t you overconfident?”

“Is that okay?”

"her."

“It doesn’t matter if I don’t need any help from you, but it’s good for me to take less risk as well.”

Isaac experienced firsthand the power of a human with a black jewel on his forehead.

He wasn't a threat to him, but he didn't know what would happen if there were a lot of them.

“The phenomenon is made up of viruses. According to my own experience, even the slightest amount of Awakener will die if they inhale a small amount. Those viruses are spreading all over Africa at a rapid rate. Soon it will affect southern Europe, the Middle East and India, and it may cover the entire world beyond Asia.”

“Are you saying it’s a race against time?”

“I don’t mean to say, it’s actually a race against time. Organize an investigation team, the investigation team goes on an investigation, bring back the obtained information, analyze it, and do something else through it. It's all a waste of time.”

“… … .”

“So help me.”

At first, they said they came because they wanted to get help, but now they are pressured to help.

I wanted to tell him to turn it off because of his pride, but there was nothing wrong with his words.

Armand said as he tapped the desk with his finger.

"It's fucking annoying, but you're right. Let me help you.”

“After all, I communicate quite well with you. Armand.”

“The ignorant child.”

“I didn’t really grow up like that.”

[right. The little boy didn't have a lot of things in the first place! Kkekeke!]

“Shut up.”

[hurt!]

I wondered if he would get up from the small seat of the child who was holding a magic sword, and then he sat down again.

“Why again?”

“What does Park Hyunsoo do?”

“Did you know that too?”

“It’s strange that such a huge power has appeared on Earth, and it’s not known.”

Unlike other S-class Hunters, Isaac felt something powerful descended on Earth two months ago.

At first he thought he was even a king, but he turned out to be Park Hyunsoo.

He was quiet for two months.

And not long ago, he appeared in earnest in front of people.

"I do not know. Because I haven't met him yet."

"is it."

“Do you think you care too?”

“I would be lying if I said it was not used.”

If you've experienced Park Hyunsoo's power indirectly, you can't even joke that you're not interested.

It was quite a shock.

‘What the hell have you been through in these two years?’

He focused non-stop on building strength in Africa.

However, compared to Park Hyunsoo, it was still lacking.

So I wanted to know.

What Park Hyunsoo did over the past two years, the New World would surely know.

As expected, Armand knew to some extent.

“I don’t know much either. Park Hyunsoo didn’t reveal much in the first place.”

Armand clenched his chin and said exactly what he had said to Chingran.

There was a slight commotion in Isaac's eyes as he heard everything.

[Partner, calm down.]

The demon sword spoke in a voice that had no sense of playfulness.

It was an inappropriate voice, but thanks to Isaac, he was able to calm the commotion.

"Thank you."

[It was nothing.]

The demon sword spoke as if it was no big deal, and then went silent again.

“Is everything I said true?”

"okay."

“The 40 years and the Monster Wave. It’s ridiculous.”

It was unrealistic, but if it was Park Hyunsoo, and as a person who directly felt the power, I had to convince him.

“Are you planning to go see Park Hyunsoo?”

"no."

I was just concerned about Park Hyunsoo, but I didn't feel like I really wanted to see him.

“It’s fine. be on standby Agents will guide you to the storage room.”

We will lend you all the necessary items.

The little boy nodded his head and got up from his seat.

Then, without saying goodbye, they dispersed in the air with Magi.

Armand sighed briefly.

“A lot has changed.”

It was a conversation in two years.

It was still annoying, but Isaac's appearance, personality, and many other things have changed over the past two years.

No, it wasn't just Isaac.

‘Me too.’

It has been two years since I wrote the badge of honor as the chairman.

I can't deny that I've been very shy during this time.

He was like that when he heard about Monster Wave.

In the past, you would have been furious at Park Hyunsoo's actions, but how did you react when you first heard about it?

‘I planned the operation right away.’

Actions like Robben would do.

Now he is doing it himself.

Armand got up and opened the window.

The winter wind was cold, but he looked out at the scenery without saying a word.

* * *

A land remnant of Kinshasa, which was once the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

There stood a woman in a black dress with her dull gray hair fluttering.

The woman with the black veil over her head was looking somewhere, where there was a sky of strange colors mixed with all kinds of viruses.

“It’s spreading later than expected.”

Her woman's voice was as clear as her oriole.

She raised her red lips upward and held out her hand.

The skin of her palms cracked open, and black jewels squeezed out of them.

She pulled out her jewels with her other hand, and the woman threw her jewels on the floor after wiping her hands once.

The gems that rolled on the dirt floor were sucked straight into the ground.

“Is that next place?”

The woman muttered to herself and pointed to Angola in the southwest.

“I’m tired.”

Then he patted her on the shoulder and sighed.“You make me do such a tedious and difficult task as soon as I wake up. Weiss-sama is doing it too much.”

Thinking of her boss, she frowned.

But what to do?

If your boss is black, you should.

Isn't that better than dying?

The woman took her steps towards Angola.

To cover the world with disease.

* * *

“Bye hey hey!”

Monami stretched her out to the fullest.

She wandered around her white table like a bedroom, as she hid, she smiled from room to room.

Ha Yu-rak watched the scene happily, then looked at Park Hyunsoo with a hasty expression.

“Are you going to watch over me this time?”

“Isn’t your expression changing too quickly?”

“Is that important now?”

“It’s not just about watching.”

"then."

“I want to try Isaac.”

Isaac?

Ha Yu-rak didn't understand that at first.

Isaac was strong enough.

He became stronger than other S-class hunters, and he did not stop there and was growing day by day.

It was a sharp sword that could be used enough in the upcoming full-scale war.

But Park Hyunsoo shook his head.

“Isaac is unstable.”

“Tell me in an easy-to-understand way.”

“Simply put, I don’t trust him.”

“… … Because you are the master of the magic sword?”

"Yes."

“But, does Isaac have enough control over the demon sword?”

“It is now. But is that really the case when you are in a crisis?”

Although Isaac lives in Africa, he has no enemies to pose a threat to him.

He was not as good as the previous S-class portals, which appeared occasionally, and was not even threatening humanity.

So, he had never once had his life in danger with a magic sword in his hand.

“The magic sword reveals its teeth when its owner is most desperate, when it is hard to express in words.”

As he wandered the universe for 40 years, he saw several demon swords.

Among them, there were demon swords that completely encroach on their master and make them a host, and there were demon swords that constantly seduce and corrupt them.

Demon swords that betrayed their masters were also common.

Isaac's magic sword had the power to be among the best among them.

It was a magic sword created by the Demon King.

“That’s what the Demon King is. It’s a monster out of the universe.”

I don't know what kind of demon king he is, but all the demon kings Park Hyunsoo has been through were transcendental level of terrifying.

They were blind evil and had no story to use as a cliché.

“It is the magic sword that was created. Isaac is in control right now, but if he gets the chance, he will try to eat him.”

“… … The demon king is too unrealistic, so even if we skip it, are you saying that the current situation in Africa is that dangerous?”

“If you leave it alone, it will happen.”

“How much do you know?”

“It’s more about feeling than knowing.”

Even now, the ominous energy that originated in Africa continued to stimulate him.

“If Isaac fails, I will take responsibility and do whatever it takes.”

"ha. You really are.”

"sorry."

Park Hyunsoo's gentle apology couldn't help Ha Yu-rak be annoyed.

“Do you think Isaac can do it?”

"Yes."

“… … You said you didn't believe me, so why are you so firm in your answer?"

“Aside from not believing, Isaac would be enough.”

Park Hyunsoo smiled as he watched Monami play with his fingers.

“Because his power is real.”

What Park Hyunsoo was trying to test was not whether he could solve the case.

He wanted to see if he could control the magic sword in a crisis situation.

So, what happened in Africa will definitely end up in his hands.

However, I just hope that it does not spread to another situation.
