After the popcorn explosion incident at the F-rank gate, the Hunters involved returned to the main headquarters, bewildered and confused. They couldn't understand why the skill they had received was so devastating, or why an ordinary student knew more about it than they did.
In the grand conference room of the global Hunter Center, leaders from every country gathered to discuss the events of the past week.
"The world system is experiencing serious problems," the Head of the New York Hunter Center said, voice tense. "The absurd missions given to SSS-ranked Hunters and the strange skills they received… this has never happened before!"
"And who is this child, exactly?" the Head of the Paris Hunter Center asked. "The one who destroyed the SS-rank gate and knows the popcorn monster skill so well."
Kim Ji-hoon and Kim Hyun-woo, sitting in the same conference room, fell silent. They recalled the events of the past few days and realized that this child had to be behind everything.
"We must find him," said the Head of the Chinese Hunter Center. "He is the one controlling the world's system!"
While everyone was strategizing, Asher sat comfortably in his classroom, watching the conference unfold through his system's screen.
The fun is about to begin, he thought. It's time to add even more chaos.
Silently, he issued a command: "Grant special skills to the strongest SSS-ranked Hunters in each country."
Condition: Skills must appear useless, yet remain powerful.
Asher grinned mischievously. He decided to give each Hunter a different skill, aiming to confuse and stir chaos among them.
Ding!
The alert sounded in the minds of SSS-ranked Hunters around the world, and in the next moment, they all opened their system windows.
Kim Hyun-woo (South Korea) – Skill: "Dance of the Wind" – Using this skill causes the user to perform an elegant dance, granting +2 buffs to all stats.
John Clark (USA) – Skill: "Dance of the Wind" – Using this skill causes the user to perform an elegant dance, granting +2 buffs to all stats.
Zhang Ming (China) – Skill: "Dance of the Wind" – Using this skill causes the user to perform an elegant dance, granting +2 buffs to all stats.
"What… what is this again!?" SSS-ranked Hunters shouted in shock.
Asher laughed, delighted. The chaos he had been waiting for had finally begun.
