- Volume 2 Episode 21

Jung Daesik's argument was indeed credible.

He wasn't a duel from the start.

He later acquired the metamorphic power, and the psychic one later, so there was no way he wasn't supposed to get another power.

So far, all Duelists have had two abilities from the start.

With that in mind, Jung Daesik is a completely new case.

Besides, it's only been three months since he became an Awakened!

With this momentum, he didn't even know he could become an all-in-one.

As if remembering that fact, Hanna Jang broke a cold sweat on her forehead.

As for Jung Daesik as a person with the unique potential to become an all-in-one, he was right.

He can't be more than just a tax cut.

He had to keep him at home by any means possible.

If she failed to catch him and Jung Daesik went abroad, she could have taken all the responsibility.

In this world where the whole world is passionate about cultivating hunters, the existence of an all-in-one was a card that should never be lost.

Hanna Jang swallowed her dry saliva and said.

She said, "Wait a minute... just a minute."

She apologized and went out of Ben.

She and Jung Daesik spent a lot of time talking to someone outside.

After a while.

Jang Han-na, who returned to her place, said with a rather tired look.

"If you give me a little more time, I might be able to get a better deal... But right now, there's only one thing I can say other than the tax exemption."

"What is it?"

Hanna Jang said briefly.

"National Vault! I'll give you access to it."

Jung Daesik flinched.

It's a national treasure chest.

Without realizing it, he threw a counter-door.

"...was that real?"

Hannah Jang nodded her head.

"Yes. Like the organization I belong to... It is a warehouse owned by an organization that is operating undercover. There, items of Grade A or higher collected from the country are stored there."

Jung Daesik felt goosebumps.

The national treasure chest that had only been heard through rumors!

There, she said, there are many rare items found in the last Monster Break, as well as the finest weapons and equipment that the country has been steadily collecting.

People have been saying that items are of value only when they are actually used, and that there is no way the state can do something useless with a huge budget.

However, on the other hand, it was inferred that all of the legendary weapons known to have been lost were all contained in the warehouse.

Anyway, the public couldn't decide which one was the truth, and Jung Daesik didn't pay any attention to it because I thought it had nothing to do with me.

However, I couldn't help but be surprised to hear that the safe was real and that I was given permission to enter it.

Of course, there is no meaning in speaking out if it is only to go in.

It's not like I'm telling you to just take a look at the items inside and come out.

Jung Daesik waited for his next words, and his predictions came true.

Hannah Jang said briefly.

"If there is an item Jung Daesik wants from among the dogs, I will give it to you. Since it is an item that cannot be bought with money in the market, they are all of great value."

"I will."

"Of course, this is a rental. If Mr. Jung Daesik breaks his promise and goes abroad or dies, it will be recovered immediately. Even so, it is a great benefit. As you know, the price of arms varies greatly depending on performance... In the case of excellent weapons, they boast an astronomical amount of money. Instead, they are well worth the price. They are going to lend you such items for free, so do you plan to stay in Korea if that's enough?"

Jung Daesik had the guts to the end.

"Hmm, what if I went inside and there was nothing special? Even if it's an A-grade item, it's not like I can't fit into my castle, right?"

Hanna Jang stared at Jung Daesik.

She came out with the best card she could offer for her, but Jung Daesik wouldn't like it because Jung Daesik bounced all the way to the end.

But she was in Eul's position to somehow catch Jung Daesik, so she quickly softened her frown and said.

"Okay. Then see for yourself and decide."

"Is that okay?"

"Isn't that what you wanted? Go there and see if there's anything you want, and then make your choice. Of course, everything about the State Treasury is confidential and cannot be disclosed to the outside world. You must agree to a confidentiality oath. You can go in."

“What happens if I break it?”

Hanna Jang smiled a little creepily.

"I've never seen such a case, so I don't know. I don't know, but wouldn't an executioner be dispatched?"

"Hmmmm."

There wasn't much of a fuss about it, so Jung Daesik bit his mouth.

Then Hanna Jang asked.

"Then when do you want to go?"

"Is it possible now?"

"It will take a little while to get permission, but it's possible."

"Okay. Do you need to hesitate? Let's go now."

Jung Daesik said, unable to contain his excitement.

It's a vault full of special items that normal hunters don't even know exist!

I couldn't help but go see it right now.

Seeing Jung Daesik's twinkling eyes, Jang Hanna nodded her head.

"Okay. Then, let's start like this."

* * *

Jung Daesik suppressed his excitement and looked out of his car window at the passing scenery.

I thought I could see a familiar scenery, but a familiar building caught my eye across the open view along the park.

"Where is...?"

In response to Jung Daesik's question, Hanna Jang, who was busy on the phone somewhere, raised her index finger.

"Okay. I will. Yes, I'm almost there... No. No problem. Yes. Yes."

Hanna Jang, who soon hung up the phone, said while looking at the National Assembly building getting closer and closer.

"As you may have guessed, the National Vault is located in the basement leading to it."

"Okay. I had no idea."

"You don't have to know. If Jung Daesik knows that, doesn't it mean that there is a big hole in national security?"

Jang Han-na, who responded with a blunt response, waited for the car to arrive and got off.

Jung Daesik followed, and the two headed for the underground passage leading to the parking lot, leaving the other investigator behind.

From there, Hanna Jang pushed through the door that reads No entry except for administrators.

As she walked along the long passage with the plumbing for a long time, an elevator was located at the end.

There, Hanna Jang revealed her identity.

"This is Jang Han-na, a 7th-level civil servant belonging to Division 3 of the National Special Management Service."

When I put my palm on the elevator door one after another, the door recognized my fingerprint like a touchpad.

Only after the iris recognition was perfectly completed, the door opened with a mechanical sound that reads .

It was like seeing in a sci-fi movie or a spy movie, so Jung Daesik inadvertently exclaimed.

"Wow."

Hanna Jang shed tears when she saw Jung Daesik do that.

"Don't make fun of me."

"Aren't you kidding me? It's funny."

"Isn't this strange to have superpowers?"

The elevator had few buttons.

After a long way down, the door barely opened, and there were two security guards at the entrance.

After I checked my identity earlier, the security guard told me to fill out the guestbook the old-fashioned way.

There, Jung Daesik also had to present his ID and sign some documents.

When I took a quick glance, it was the same content as Hanna Jang said earlier.

"It's a confidentiality pledge. You'll have to watch your mouth once you sign it."

"Don't worry. I have a heavy mouth no matter how many times I look like this."

Jang Han-na was not very trusting, but Jung Daesik silently signed the autograph.

Security guards backed off and passed several layers of shielding.

Only then did we arrive at the safe entrance.

"It's here."

For some reason, Hanna Jang moved her feet with her triumphant expression.

The entrance to the safe was traditional.

There was a round, heavy metal door attached, which seemed to be 2m in diameter.

In front of him stood a giant with dark eyes.

He checked the tablet in his hand and asked a question.

"Is it true that 7th grade civil servant Jang Han-na and 6th grade hunter Jung Daesik endorsed by Jang Han-na?"

"Yes."

"that's right."

"Come this way."

"I'm in charge of the national treasury. Give me a hand."

The person in charge wrapped a thin tape around the wrists of Hanna Jang and Jung Daesik.

I thought it was supposed to act as a temporary pass, but she turned out to be an anti-theft device.

"This tape must never be tampered with until it is out of the safe. Without this tape, touching the piece, or item, can cause fatal harm. Please be careful as it is extremely dangerous, potentially life threatening."

"all right."

"The same goes for taking out items. If you take an item that has not been registered for export, as soon as you leave the safe, the anti-theft device applied to the item activates. It is a kind of curse, so you can't remove it by yourself. The same goes for handing over items to others or dropping them away. They will also become cursed and will be pursued by the Executioner, so be careful."

The person in charge was speaking in a calm and weak manner, but it was a bloody warning.

Indeed, should it be said that it is a safe containing only limited-quality items?

After receiving the dreadful warning, I was excited again.

Well, how many awesome items are there?

It was like entering a treasure trove from the old Arabian Nights.

"Then, I'll open it."

The person in charge turned and authenticated his identity on the touchpad next to the safe.

After that, I unwrapped the passwords of the manual safes one by one.

Lastly, whether the person in charge was also an awakening person, when the magic was poured, the door of the safe itself shone.

Soon, with a creaking sound, the lock on the safe was unlocked and the door opened.
