The strongest magician who started as a hunter

The original intention of the establishment of the Twelve Earthly Branches.

In addition to helping the association handle work, it is more about responding to major crises that may have occurred in the past and in the future, both within and outside the association.

For example.

Once anything happens to President Netero, the twelve branches will also become the top pillars of the association, ensuring the stability of the association's order and preventing unpredictable changes.

In other words, the status of the Twelve Branches in the Hunter Association can be said to be only under President Netero... It is a life-saving straw that will be moved out at the critical moment.

The relationship between the Twelve Branches and President Netero is closer to that of companions, not purely superior and subordinate.

Because of this, so many members are willing to use various means to match their appearance to the corresponding code name in order to show their respect for the president.

And now, between this relationship.

But suddenly there was an acting president like You.

Even if it is only temporary, it is inevitable that people will have resistance and rebelliousness.

For example, Kansai, he secretly decided that he would never obey the other party's orders.

Even if You were affirmed by President Netero, and also supported by Piyou's verbal evaluation... he could basically be confirmed as a top-notch strong man.

But after all, I haven’t seen it with my own eyes.

Kansai is still biased and thinks that it must be the president who lets him off the hook or the other party's ability to take advantage of others.

However, no matter what...

This young acting president really left a deep impression on everyone.

…

After the meeting.

You did not leave the association building, but went all the way to the president's office, and sat down naturally on the office chair that originally belonged to Nitro.

There is no psychological burden at all.

After all, it was President Nitro who took the initiative to become the Acting President without consulting him in advance.

Now that it's done.

So you don't mind experiencing Nitro's daily work and working environment.

…

Looking at the two piles of documents stacked on the table.

Some were piled high, while others contained only a few pages.

You picked it up and flipped through it briefly. The higher part was the review documents for daily work within the association. After preliminary review by Doumian people, they were piled together only if there were no problems.

Currently, only the president’s signature is required.

You ignored the files that had no problems, but first looked through the files with flaws that the Doumian people had specially picked out.

Among the dense text, You found the key words of this document.

"An associate hunter...is missing..."

And the hunter who issued this report... happens to be Miloston, one of the twelve.

That is, the middle-aged man wearing a cow costume.

"As a criminal hunter, do you still pay attention to disappearances..."

I muttered something to myself worriedly and started reading it carefully.

The hunter's disappearance is not a trivial matter, otherwise the Beanface Man would not have placed this report at the top of the list.

After all, as of now, there are only more than 600 professional hunters registered in the Hunter Association.

According to the rules of previous years, the number of personnel changes each year will not be large, basically in single digits.

Unless something major happens.

It's just... Unless you happen to be involved, generally speaking, no one will notice this kind of thing.

What's more, the missing persons are the type of associate hunters mentioned in the documents who are specifically assigned to take on tasks assigned by the association.

Weak in strength and not famous.

These tasks, which only receive guaranteed basic rewards issued by the association, and are low-difficulty and low-risk, are collectively called co-expert hunters.

Most of the guys have no pursuits of their own, completely violating the 'Ten Rules of Hunters'.

So I don’t know when, this type of hunter became synonymous with ‘weak’.

In recent years, the number of such cooperative hunters has surged.

Thinking about it, it was probably the results achieved by Pariston behind the scenes through lobbying, manipulation and other means.

Now that Pariston has become the vice-president as he wished, he will have more means to seek more benefits for this group of associate hunters, gain the support of this group of weaklings, and help him secure his position as vice-president.

"I just don't know how much the disappearance of this associate hunter has to do with that guy."

Worry finished reading the report, and in summary, it was an associate hunter who accidentally disappeared while performing a mission in NGL.

The content of the mission is just to search for a special herb in the jungle on its border.

It would not be difficult to understand if he disappeared because he accidentally ate poisonous weeds or was stung by poisonous insects... Just by connecting these noteworthy clues with Pariston, it's hard not to feel a bit coincidental.

After all, the reason why the subsequent chimera ant crisis was serious was because it broke out in the isolated NGL.

Message lag.

It gave the ants too much time to grow and room for development.

Thinking of this, many possibilities arose in You's heart.

For example……

This hunter did not die, but infiltrated into the NGL, or avoided the association's tracking through this channel and performed additional tasks for Pariston.

It is also possible that he never went to NGL in the first place, but died in another place.

Because the information was not reported within the stipulated time, the association registered him as a missing person.

…

That night.

Pariston was sitting alone in his office when he received a call from an unknown number.

After being connected.

A cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone: "That acting president, what do you think?"

"It is more difficult to deal with than expected. In terms of strength...it is said that he can compete with President Netero. This should be true." Pariston said.

"Hahaha...can you fight with that old guy? He is really a good talent! If we can win him over to join our team, the plan will definitely go smoother than imagined!"

The man on the other end of the phone smiled.

Hearing this, Pariston was silent for a moment and denied: "That guy is the candidate that the president passed over us personally appointed, which shows that he has a special status in the president's mind... It is not that easy to win over."

"I think so! But speaking of...how is the old guy's injury?"

"It will probably heal within a month or two."

"Is it actually so seriously injured? But... based on my understanding of that old guy, he won't be recovering from his injuries honestly."

Pariston joked: "Since you want to know what the president is doing, wouldn't you just go and visit him in person for a few days and find out?"

"Huh! He and I haven't seen each other for so long. We had a big fight the last time we met. If I suddenly visit him at this time, I'm afraid his injury won't heal in half a year."

“That way we would have more time, wouldn’t it be more beneficial for our actions?

And... you are the president's son after all, so it is only reasonable for you to visit. "

Hearing this, Biyangde on the other end laughed loudly.

"OK!"
