Chapter 925: Seoul

Ning was the one surprised at this point. He hadn't expected the question to come out of this girl's mouth.

"How do you know about my System?" he asked.

The girl's eyes went wide. "Ah, so you do have it," she said.

"Tsk, you weren't even sure? And here I assumed your god must've told you," Ning said. He was a little annoyed that she had taken away the confirmation so easily, but the fact that she knew about the system alone told him that he hadn't really lost anything there.

Even without confirmation, she and her god would've considered the option at least, and they would be very certain, as anyone gaining so many powers without a system would be near impossible, especially in a world that knew nothing about mana or Qi or spiritual energy.

"May I ask what this system allows you to do?" the girl asked.

"No," Ning said. "Do you have anything else to ask, or can I leave?"

"What? No, I don't have any more questions, but you can't leave," Kim Min-Soo said. "The director of Dungeon Defense wants to meet you, and he apparently has some work for us."

"The director? Hmm, alright," Ning said.

"Let's go then," the girl said. "Can you teleport us to Seoul?"

Ning was about to say yes, but instead, he shook his head. "I've never been to Seoul, and I can't go to a place I don't know about," he said. He wanted to make it seem like his teleportation powers had limitations, which there were if he was using the space manipulation property of his tamed spirit, Void.

His intention was to make it seem like his system wasn't as good, and as such Kim Min-Soo's god wouldn't realize that he was dealing with the energy system.

"No? No problem. I've already prepared our travel means," she said.

Ning nodded and walked out. He walked over to the elevator and pressed the button to open the door.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"Calling the elevator. What are you doing?" He asked when he saw her by the stairs. "You are going to take the stairs?"

"Yes," she said. "We're going to the roof."

"The roof?"

Ning arrived at the room and heard the loud noise of spinning motors. He looked at the helicopter that was kept on the helipad and was surprised.

"Wow, imagine having a Helicopter in your own building. You guys are really rich," Ning said as he walked towards the thing.

"What?" Kim Min-Soo shouted through the ferocious wind that made it impossible to hear anything that was being spoken.

Ning laughed slightly and shook his head before getting onto the helicopter. He put on the belts and headphones as they took off and flew toward Seoul.

"We will reach Seoul in an hour," the girl said through the mic. Ning only nodded toward her in understanding.

Ning looked down at the land far below him and chuckled a little as he wondered how happy Saphandra would be if she could have seen this.

The ride was smooth and as Min-Soo had said, it only took an hour for them to reach. They landed on an empty area and they disembarked.

Ning looked at the place where they had come and saw other helicopters close by. "You said the others are called too?" he asked.

"All the SSS-ranked people are called," She said.

Ning nodded and walked up to the building that looked more like a gymnasium than anything. They both entered the building and heard shouts from inside as they saw two people fighting.

A man stayed inside a barrier and shot out magic attacks left and right, trying to hit another man, but he was too fast to be hit.

The magic caster was a middle-aged man with long black hair that was tied in a bun and thick facial hair. He wore a purple suit and pants and looked quite professional.

On the other hand, the man that was zipping around was a younger man, maybe in his mid-20s, who wore a tracksuit and had buzz-cut hair.

"They're already here," Kim Min-Soo said.

Ning looked to his left and up, and saw a man and woman calmly looking down at the fight below them.

The man wore a black suit and red tie and looked way too average to have a memorable face.

The woman on the other hand wore a white dress with transparent white sleeves and had crystals glittering all over her clothes.

The common-looking man turned his head and looked toward them. His eyes widened a bit and a smile formed on his face. "Look who it is, the man of the hour," the man said.

He jumped from the 2nd floor and gracefully landed in front of Ning. "You must be Ning Ruogong, the new and only SSS-ranked hunter in the world."

Ning grabbed the hand that was put in front of him and shook it. "Nice to meet you, and who might you be?" he asked.

The man was taken aback, but he wasn't offended. Instead, he smiled and answered. "I am Lee Kwon-Yu, leader of the Frost Empire guild. Nice to meet you too."

Ning moved his eyes from him and to the rest of the people.

"Ah, you must not know them either. Let me introduce you," he said. "Guys, stop fighting, we have someone here you need to meet."

The two fighters stopped fighting and turned towards Ning.

"This is Ning Ruogong, the one we've been waiting for," he said.

He pointed to the fast-moving young man in a tracksuit. "That is Park Hyung-Jye, of the Neo Warriors guild." He then pointed to the old man in the barrier. "This old man is Bi Sang-Ook of the Young Korean guild. Don't ask why he named his guild 'young' while being old."

"And that is... huh? Where did she go?" the man looked confused.

The woman appeared from behind him and took Ning's hands to shake them. "I am Ja Soo-Yun from the Silver Star guild. I hope you will consider joining my guild," she said with a wide smile on her face.

Ning smiled back at her too. "I definitely would've," he said. "But since you tried to charm me, I don't think I'll consider it anymore."

The girl's face froze a bit before going back to the smile. "Whatever do you mean? Am I so beautiful that you mistook it for some charm?" she asked.

"You've already been figured out, Soo-Yun. You should forget about charming him," Min-Soo said from the side.

"Tsk, you must've told him about our powers beforehand," she said with an annoyed face.

Kim Min-Soo said nothing. She was just surprised that Ning had been able to recognize charming skills being used on him, and had somehow negated the effects.

'How did he negate charming skills from someone that has SSS-ranked mana?' she wondered.

Lee Kwon-Yu looked rather surprised but in a happy way. He smiled at Ning and turned to look at the two that had started going at each other again.

"If I were to ask you to fight the two of them one-on-one, could you beat them?" he asked.
