Reversing Life With Item Copy

Chapter 51: The Third Condition

<After a considerable amount of time.>

The post-processing was in full swing, and the guild leaders of each guild gathered into a meeting room.

And there.

"An elf."

The identity of the Hood emerged as the first agenda.

"Doesn't it look like something that came out of a game? Long ears, beautiful appearance, and the ability of summoning spirits. Isn't that an elf?"

All guild leaders of the guild who had defended in the invasion gathered in the conference hall.

Among them, Shin Yoo-sung and Oh Tae-jin also occupied one seat each. The other two S-class hunters were overseas and could not attend.

Then, someone came up with something. He was the leader of the White Tiger Guild, a mid-sized guild.

Bang!

"We're not talking about games, White Tiger Guild Master! Please be more serious!"

"Im being serious though. Do you have any better ideas? What do you think of the person who appeared with the stem, had long ears, and could summon spirits?

"That .

As often the case with these types of meetings. The story didn't go on and just hovered around. It was inevitable since there was little information in the first place.

"What do you think? Your opinion as the first person to discover it."

At that time, someone spoke while looking at Shin Yoo-sung.

Shin Yoo-sung was lost in thought with his arms folded. But he probably didnt know anything either.

"First of all, what he said was the word Aquila'. Presumably the name of the spirit."

"That's right."

"And he was also saying something like this. They are the ones who hurt our mother while looking at us, so I presume he wanted to kill us all."

"I'm sure he was talking about the World Tree! Clearing the dungeon and removing the roots of the World Tree must have been the reason why he said that!

The White Tiger Guild Master shouted in excitement. Having said this all the way, he could feel that the others were also being swayed by his argument.

"But, its also possible that he's just a psychopath.

Other arguments continue to be raised. However, in the end, it was narrowed down to only two ideas.

One is the theory that he is a terrorist of some secret organization, and the other stated that it was a elf that protected the World Tree as claimed by the White Tiger guild leader.

Shin Yoo-sung was confused as the opinion was quite plausible. He looked at the president of the association. Who had been listening with his eyes closed without a word.

How do you see this, Mr President of the Association?

He moved the arrow to the associations president.

The president of the association quietly opened his eyes, looked around the people and spoke.

"Actually Some of you may already know, but an elf appeared in Seoul as well.

"What did you say!"

Half of them, not in the know, were astonished. The other half became stiff when they heard from the guild members at headquarters in advance.

Fortunately, he was dealt with. I saw the video before you guys came.

"You mean that one has been killed?"

"Why are you saying that now!"

Theres even a video left there? Isn't that great news!?

Listening to the protests of the guild leaders, the president of the association beckoned to his subordinate. Soon, a video began to play on the conference rooms projection screen.

A person with dark brown hair and long ears. Then, a man confronts him.

While, most at the meeting would look at the elf.

Who is that man?

He is the father of that child from that day, right?

Oh Tae-jin and Shin Yoo-sung opened their eyes wide while looking at Do-joon. The two quite vividlyremembered Do-joon.

[T/N: Do-joon is kinda famous among the S-class, ya know! XD]

Oh Tae-jin saw it through the photos attached to the report, and Shin Yoo-sung met So-eun in person when she was registering as an Awakened.

Why is that person over there?

Why is that person over there?

[T/N: Same reaction by both of them.]

Both of them look quite bewildered.

In particular, Shin Yoo-sung did not know Do-joon was a hunter, and became very puzzled. His eyes were trembling slightly.

Either way, the video continued to play.

The location was probably somewhere an underground shelter. The video seemed to be taken with a cell phone.

People were flocking to the side where the person was filming, and the elf and Do-joon stood before  each other.

It was Do-joon who moved first.

Why is he doing that?

He rushed in with a spear, but stretched out his bare hand instead of his spear. People watching immediately questioned his stupidmove.

Huh .

"What the-"

Then, in the very next scene, they sighed without realizing it. Do-joon's arm that he was holding out a while ago had just been cut off.

Its over.

Is the elf being handled by another hunter?

The majority of the people in the room were A-class hunters. They were strong enough to be a leader of a guild.

In their view, the match had already been decided by the first encounter.

But soon the situation reversed.

Whether there was a special regeneration skill, the arm that had been wounded began to heal quickly. Even the elf was grinding his teeth at Do-joon healing.

The elf came running and swinging his hands. They werent sure what he was thinking, but he suddenly turned around.

And then, Do-joon binded the elf with a strange skill that soon sent him far into the sky.

They were sucked into the screen by that repeated reversal of the situation.

Originally, they were focused on the identity of the elf, but soon became immersed in the battle itself.

And until at last, the clash between the two ended.

.

.

Silence fell in the conference room.

Even though it had already stopped playing, they  couldnt take their eyes off the project screen.

He killed .'

Even if that elf wasnt strong enough, even if he looked like an A-class. He used some odd skills, too.

But he defeated it by himself?

Guild leaders began to buzz. Among them, there were many who questioned whether they would be able to win if they fought the elf in the video.

However, the man in the video had an edge over such an opponent. Until he blew it away with a pleasant wind at the end.

"Who is he?"

Chairman of the Association, who is that man? There's no face like that out of all the A-class people I know.. Is he a hunter from abroad?"

"Please say something!

They pressed the president of the association. The association was the first place where the video was reported, and the president of the association saw it first, so they thought that the investigation had already begun.

As he said, the president of the association knew the man's identity.

E-class hunter Kim Do-joon.

When he first heard it from his subordinate, he couldnt believe it. He told his subordinate to stop joking around and investigate it properly.

However, after seeing the photos, he couldn't help but be shocked. He was really an E-class. It hasn't even been a year since he got his licence!

Despite knowing everything, the president of the association remained silent.

"Huh? Isn't he the one who won first place at the Hunter exam last year?"

At that time, someone said so.

"What?"

"Last year?"

That's absurd. 

Someone else refuted the remark.

If he took the exam last year, it would be difficult to even become a D-class no matter how fast he is. How could he have that many skills?

However, testimonies came out from all over the place.

No, I think it's him. I know because our HR manager has sent him lovely calls several times. On our side, as the guild leader, I personally handed a business card and remembered .

.

.

The guild leaders who could not believe it, made a disappointed expression. Among them, Shin Yoo-sung was also included.

His daughter had such an amazing ability, but so does her father?

Father and daughter are both very talented.

Wherever he goes, he has never heard of anyone with similar talent like him anywhere else. Otherwise, there was no way he could be an S-class.

Even in his eyes, Do-joon's performance reaching A-class skills in a year was astonishing.

How was I in my first year?

In his first year, he was running a coffee errand at the end of the priest's association.

"For now .

At that time, the president of the association spoke quietly. People's murmur subsided at the strangely ringing voice.

"Let's talk about the elf in the video. That is the main subject.

But you cant ignore that guy .

That man.

As if the story would end here, the president of the association spoke.

"I'll meet him in person later."

* * *

When he opened his eyes, he saw a familiar ceiling.

It was home.

"Dad!"

"Aahh."

So-eun rushed in when she saw Do-joon wake up.

"Are you sick, Dad? Are you going to be hospitalised too?

She asked with worried eyes.

She was discharged from the hospital for the first time in a while and lived together with her family, but this time she was worried that Do-joon would go to the hospital and they would have to break up again.

Do-joon hugged So-eun and checked his own physical condition.

Fortunately, there was no pain anywhere. He felt that Siewellin treated him well.

"Im alright. I think your sister took good care of me.

"Really? Are you really okay?

"Yeah. Where is your sister?"

"She is at the store."

Do-joon got up and put on his cardigan. Next to him, So-eun still clung on tightly.

Do-joon smiled and came out to the store, holding his child's hand. 

Its important. Can't I just see him?"

An old man in a suit with a hat was talking to Siewellin.

"As I told you, he's sleeping right now."

"Then can you tell him about me when he wakes up?"

"Of course."

"Then, please."

The old man said and turned around. Then the old man suddenly saw Do-joon from the doorway.

"You woke up!"

Hearing his words, Siewellin looked back. When she saw Do-joon coming out with So-eun, she opened her eyes wide.

"How is your body? Are you alright?"

"Yes, thanks to you, I'm fine. You have done a lot of hard work to clean up and heal me."

"Ah, it wasnt that hard."

Siewellin waving her hands. Seeing her like that, Do-joon smiled.

"But what about him?"

"He is a customer, who keep asking me where the owner is.

"Really?"

"He said he was this kind of person."

Siewellin took a business card from her pocket and showed it to me. And when he received it.

<Son Chang-il, President of the Korea Awakening Association>

Association president. Do-joon was surprised to see the card.

It hasn't been that long since he ran into Mir's guild leader, but this time its the President of the Awakened Association.

The old man took off his hat and politely introduced himself.

"I am Son Chang-il. I have something to tell you, would it be fine for a second?

If the association came at this time.

He could naturally guess. No, it couldn't have happened other than that in the first place.

Eldora, it's about him.'

Just in time, Do-joon also had a lot of questions to ask. What happened to Hwaseong, whether they knew the identity of the Black Pillar, etc.

"Okay, come on in."

Do-joon nodded and guided him inside the store.

Do-joon brought out a sitting table, a cushion for his guest, and tea which he was brewing. He sat down in front of the president of the association.

"I'm sorry that its a shabby place. I'm looking for a house to move in, but I can't find a good sale."

"Is that so? If I were you, I would move into a luxury apartment without any problems."

Im looking for it near the store.

Nonsensical gossip. However, it contained implicit information.

If I was like you. So you found out something about me.

It's not a slip of the tongue, and he probably said that on purpose. He knows about him to some extent, so he wants to get to the point quickly.

He probably knows that he killed Eldora himself. It was something destined to happen in the first place.

If he had investigated further there, he might find out that he also killed Kwak Dong-gyu and escaped from the B-class double-rooted dungeon, and even that he was the top during the Hunter test.

So far, the cat was out of the bag.

It was not long before the old man who was drinking tea opened his mouth.

"Let's be straightforward. Why don't you hand it over to us, the body of the elf you killed?

"A corpse? No, did you say Elf?

Do-joon tilted his head at the word elf. The president of the association laughed once and explained what happened in the conference hall.

Others, especially the leader of the White Tiger guild, are strongly insisting that the image of him has already solidified as an elf from the top.

When he heard it, it seemed plausible. Considering Eldora's appearance and abilities, it fit perfectly with the image of an elf.

"The body now will be kept by the association. And as I saw in advance The ears didn't look like makeup, but they looked real.

"Are you sure?

Do-joon was surprised to hear that those long ears were real. The president of the association nodded as if it was not a lie.

So, for a more definitive conclusion, I want to do an autopsy on his body. Can you hand it over?

It was strange to suddenly ask for the body, but when he heard it, it was convincing.

"I'm not just asking for it. I plan to give you enough compensation."

"A reward?

"First of all, regardless of this transaction, there is a reward for you. Because you removed a threat and protected people.

He said that it was simply given regardless of the body.

In addition, the president of the association continued.

"If you hand over the body, I'll apply for your special promotion."

It was a pretty good offer.

Special promotion.

It means that he can be promoted even if he doesn't have a performance track record with the recommendation of a hunter with special qualifications.

At this time, the recommended hunter is a system that takes full responsibility in case of a problem as a guarantor of the promoted hunter.

A system that is rarely used because of the term "full responsibility".

And the president of the association was one of those qualified people who can apply for a special promotion.

"You need to prove your skills, but if Ive seen it in the video, you'll be able to get promoted to A-class without difficulty. What do you think?

Do-joon thought for a moment.

It was a special promotion, which he did not hope for. Wasn't it hard work to run around the dungeon, which didn't even increase the fit rate?

If I become an A-class hunter, Ill have crossed one ridge.

If he is an A-class, he can enter all existing dungeons. He can apply not only to A-class dungeons but also to S-class dungeons.

If that happens, he would be one step closer to a Golden Holy Elixir.

My goal is to treat So-eun. If there is a shortcut for that, there is no reason to refuse it.

Do-joon made a decision. To agree with the offer.

Possessing something like an elf's corpse would be of no use to him.

But he simply couldnt just give it to him.

"There are some conditions."

"Tell me. I will do anything that is within my power.

The president of the association nodded as if he knew that.

Do-joon took a sip of tea and organised his thoughts.

"First of all, if you find out anything about the Elf, please share it with me. Will the body be sent to the lab?

"Thats right. It will probably be sent to the National Masu Research Institute.

[T/N: Masu here refers to magical beasts and monsters that appear in the dungeons.]

National Masu Research Institute. It was the research complex where Do-joon took the Hunter test in Gangwon-do.

"Please let me know the results as well."

"Okay. I'll send you the documents that come to me. And what else?

"Secondly, if you receive any information about the Golden Holy Elixir or an elixir with energy with spirit of fire, please let me know first.

"Golden Holy Elixir? Why is that. Oh, I'm sorry. That was a silly question.

The president of the association shook his head while asking a question.

If he needed money, he wouldn't have bothered to mention the Golden Holy Elixir. If so, what you need is not money, but medicine itself.

And isn't it obvious if he needs medicine?

There was no reason to offend him by asking questions.

"Honestly, I dont think it will be easy to get that much information about an item, but I will figure it out. I'll contact you first when I get the information."

"Thank you."

"Are there any other conditions?"

"No. That's all you need to do."

Fortunately, it wasn't that difficult. The president of the association nodded with satisfaction.

"Then the deal is complete. In my name, your application for special promotion, sharing the research results, and sharing information about the Golden Holy Elixir and an elixir with energy with spirit of fire. Is this enough?"

"Yes. Please pay special attention to the third condition."

"Okay."

The two men shook hands. A separate contract will be written later, but the terms and conditions have been agreed.

"Since the deal is over, let's move on to another business."

What else?

Do-joon, who thought it was over now, tilted his head.

When the president of the association saw Do-jun like that, he smiled and talked.

Hunter Kim Do-joon, would you like to join our association?

In an instant, Do-joon's interest suddenly cooled down. It was a proposal that he had received many times from other guilds.

There was a difference that it was from the association, but that did not mean that there would be a difference in his answer.

Im sorry, but I .

"If you want to join the association.

The president of the association spoke as if to hear it to the end. And that means.

"I will spare all the support for you to be promoted to S-class.

It was a pretty extreme condition.

[T/N: AAAAAHHHHH. This president is crazy!!]
