Hola hunters, previously we saw Sung Jin-Woo extracting ant king’s shadow and queen’s shadow. Unfortunately, Queen only had the ability to reproduce and communication (propagation). This Jin Woo only got the ant king and named him Beru. In the manga, we see Jin Woo ordering Beru to wipe off the ants and thus astonishing the soldiers outside the island.
As mentioned in the previous pure spoiler article, after Jin Woo takes care of ants he rode on Kaisel and went straight to hunter association to meet the chairman.
Solo Leveling Chapter 107 spoilers –
Jin Woo goes to meet chairman Goh:
Kaisel landed in front of the Hunter’s Association building.
Right on the front lawn of the Hunter’s Association, no less.
Hunters of the Monitoring Division also ran outside with various weapons in their hands.
But, their complexions all lost colour after Jin-Woo hopped off from the back of the creature.
‘Return.’
Kaisel heeded Jin-Woo’s order and immediately disappeared into his shadow.
Meanwhile, people gathered here began recognising who he was.
‘W-was that Hunter Seong Jin-Woo’s summoned creature?’
‘He can even control a monster like that, too??’
All these people had seen Jin-Woo’s ability through their TV screens. So, it didn’t come as much of a surprise that he could control a monster.
Jin-Woo walked over to an Association employee he recognised and addressed him. This person was a Hunter working for the Monitoring Division and was often seen accompanying the Association President.
“I’d like to speak to the Association President.”
You wouldn’t normally get to meet the President just because you wanted to. Even a government minister had to wait for a whole week for a meeting with Goh Gun-Hui.
However, who here was brave enough to tell that to the young man in front of their eyes?
A Hunter, who wasn’t originally a member of the raid team, suddenly appeared out of nowhere and easily disposed of the ant monster – a monster so powerful that it toyed around with several rank S Hunters.
So, wouldn’t the Association President be dying to speak to this man more than anyone else right now?
The Association employee quickly replied.
“The Association President is in the hospital at the moment.”
“Is he feeling unwell?”
Jin-Woo asked while remembering that the Association President’s health wasn’t so good, to begin with. It was possible that he somehow worsened his condition because he watched the raid broadcast.
“No, not at all. He went over to observe the situation with Hunter Cha Hae-In.”
Jin-Woo nodded his head. Did that mean it’d be hard to meet him today?
Just as he was preparing to leave, the employee continued on.
“Let me call the President on the phone. If you will, please wait for a little while at the reception room.”
“Got it.”
Jin-Woo felt relieved. There was something he wanted to tell the President as soon as possible, actually.
Cha Hae-In was admitted to the largest Association-designated Hunter hospital there was. Goh Gun-Hui quietly waited for the examination results, and soon, his personal doctor approached him with some news.
The Association President hurriedly asked.
“How does she look?”
“We haven’t performed an in-depth examination yet, but… she seems to be 100% normal, at least outwardly speaking. She’s resting comfortably at the moment.”
“I see….”
Goh Gun-Hui nodded his head, thinking ‘I thought as much’ to himself.
The doctor was alongside Goh Gun-Hui when they watched the raid together. Cha Hae-In’s current condition was as much of a mystery even for him.
“Her complexion was really poor from the massive haemorrhaging, so how did her condition improve in such a short period of time?”
“…”
Goh Gun-Hui had already been debriefed by the Korean raid team members, but he chose to keep his mouth shut here.
‘Would he even believe me if I tell him?’
….The fact that Hunter Seong Jin-Woo ‘borrowed’ the power of the dead Hunter Min Byung-Gu to heal Cha Hae-in?
Hunter Seong Jin-Woo wanted the camera turned off because he didn’t want to reveal his powers.
The Association President wasn’t stupid enough to reveal that information so carelessly to other people. Other Hunters were thinking along the same line as well.
“The rank A Healers I had on standby managed to save her.”
“She looked to be in such a precarious position…. Well, it’s a relief that the treatment was carried out in time.”
Thankfully for Goh Gun-Hui, the doctor seemed to have believed him.
As observed, hunter Sung Jin-Woo regardless of his power still remained quite polite and humble to the staff and waited patiently for chairman Goh. Except for the fact of scaring them with Kaisel unintentionally. On the other side, Chairman took Hunter Cha to the hospital and while observing her condition the doctors were quite astonished. And Chairman had a hard time making them believe without telling the truth. Even the Chairman, became anxious when “Jin-Woo” appeared in his mind. Although we don’t know about his powers he sure was strong as stated in earlier chapters.
Chairman realizes the truth:
“Ah!”
The personal doctor opened his mouth again after recalling something just now.
“Sir, it’s regarding Hunter Seong Jin-Woo.”
Goh Gun-Hui’s ears perked up after Seong Jin-Woo’s name was brought up.
“What about Hunter Seong Jin-Woo?”
The doctor was quick to continue, having seen the light glinting in Goh Gun-Hui’s eyes change like that.
“You know that his mother was a patient in our hospital, yes?”
“The Eternal Sleep disorder, right?”
“That’s correct.”
Goh Gun-Hui did get to read up on Jin-Woo’s family back when the investigation to the youth’s background was still ongoing. He suddenly thought of the worst possible scenario and asked, his expression hardening rapidly.
“It can’t be…. Did she pass on?”
The doctor shook his head.
“It’s the exact opposite, actually.”
“The exact opposite?”
“I heard that she actually woke up from the ‘final sleep’ stage and was discharged recently.”
“Are you telling me the truth?!”
“Those in the know are in a huge uproar over this whole thing, sir. We may not have made any official announcement, but well, it did happen in our hospital, so….”
The higher-ups of the hospital naturally saw today’s raid, as well. And that meant they continued to talk about Seong Jin-Woo’s matter, and eventually, even Goh Gun-Hui’s personal doctor got to hear about it.
“But, Eternal Sleep was cured? Was that even possible?”
“I believe this is the first time ever in the world, sir.”
“When did she wake up?”
“Most likely….”
The doctor confirmed the date in his head.
“About five days ago.”
“…..”
Now it made sense.
The day he asked Jin-Woo to join the raid, and the day the youth’s mother woke up, was almost the same.
‘Hunter Seong Jin-Woo’s father went missing inside a Gate, didn’t he?’
A wife who lost her husband to the Gate. Hunter Seong Jin-Woo would’ve found it very hard to leave such a mother behind all alone to participate in the Jeju Island raid. Not to mention, to participate in the subjugation operation that had failed three times in the past as well.
Goh Gun-Hui reflected on his carelessness for failing to check upon his situation.
‘That’s why he couldn’t participate in this raid.’
Jin-Woo’s situation, and the feats he performed today, combined to wash away the misunderstanding that almost managed to block up his chest. Goh Gun-Hui’s heart began racing once more.
He really liked this young man. Such a man was a rare breed, indeed.
It was then, an Association employee approached him.
Remember, Jin-Woo used the rewards of the demon castle raid to treat his mother. Well, it was his main objective of becoming a hunter. And the fact that his mother has awakened from eternal sleep remained hidden. But now the doctor spoke to the chairman about it. Connecting the facts the chairman got a clear idea of what actually happened and why Sung refused at first.
–
Jin Woo and Chairman:
“Sir.”
“Did something happen?”
“We couldn’t get in touch with Hunter Min Byung-Gu’s family.”
“You mean… His mother?”
“Yes, sir.”
That was to be expected. She learnt of her son’s passing through a d*mn TV. She then called the Association on the phone, her voice trembling non-stop. The Association had no choice but, to be honest with her.
“I’ll go and see her personally.”
“Sir, you’re planning to go there personally?”
“A parent is about to hold a funeral for her child without his body. You really think she’s in any state of mind to pick up a phone?”
“B-but, sir.”
“I’ll go and speak to her personally and inform her of everything that happened. And I’ll express my condolences as well.”
“….Understood, sir.”
The employee turned around with a hardened face. But then, his phone began ringing quite noisily and made him stop.
He saw that the call came from the Association, so he got permission from the President to answer it.
“Mm? There’s someone who wishes to speak to the Association President? What?! It’s him?”
Goh Gun-Hui shook his head.
“Tell them I’m not meeting anyone today.”
The employee covered the phone with his hand and quickly spoke up.
“Sir, the person who wishes to speak to you is… Hunter Seong Jin-Woo.”
“Hunter Seong Jin-Woo??”
Goh Gun-Hui opened his eyes wide and retracted what he said just now right away.
“Tell them I’ll be there shortly.”
Jin-Woo got to the Association President’s office under the guidance of an employee. He was then asked rather affectionately as soon as he settled down on the couch.
“Would you like something to drink?”
Jin-Woo was about to decline the offer, only to feel a bit of thirst creeping upon him. Now that he thought about it for a sec, he hadn’t taken a sip of water even though he had fought such an intense battle.
“Water will be fine.”
“Thank you very much!”
“…?”
What was he so thankful about?
The employee’s face reddened after blurting his words out from sheer nervousness. He placed the bottle of water in front of Jin-Woo and deeply bowed his head.
“If you need anything else, please don’t hesitate to call me.”
“I will.”
Jin-Woo thought the employee’s attitude was far more cautious and sincere than the last time he came here.
‘It’s probably because of the raid broadcast.’
He guessed that the attitude of many people, as well as the way they looked at him, would change greatly from now on. Not too long afterwards, Goh Gun-Hui entered the office.
“Seong Jin-Woo Hunter-nim!”
Jin-Woo tried to get up, but the Association President Goh Gun-Hui dissuaded the youth from doing so.
Jin-Woo just returned from Jeju Island. And he even fought a mutated ant monster that almost annihilated a team of rank S Hunters.
So, the current Jin-Woo was a VIP among all VIPs.
Goh Gun-Hui was definitely not planning to treat with disrespect a person who saved the lives of South Korea’s rank S Hunters.
Goh Gun-Hui settled down on the couch opposite to Jin-Woo, rather than in his usual spot at the seat of the honour.
“I’ve heard what transpired inside the ant tunnel.”
“Ah, I see.”
In that case, this talk should proceed quite swimmingly, then. Jin-Woo felt that this was for the better. Goh Gun-Hui continued on.
“Also, I’ve been informed on how you got here, as well.”
Countless witnesses saw Kaiser flying now. There was no way the President of the Hunter’s Association wouldn’t hear about it.
“Did you get to Jeju Island while riding on the back of that creature?”
Well, Jin-Woo used ‘Shadow Exchange’ to reach the island, but was there a reason to reveal all of his cards here?
Jin-Woo was rather economical with his words.
“Something like that.”
This was the same thing as him making a confession that the flying monster appearing in Seoul a few nights ago was his doing. But, this would prove to be more convenient if he were to continue riding on Kaisel from now on.
“So, that was the case.”
It was as expected. The Association President nodded his head.
Jin-Woo was able to utilise the powers of dead monsters. So, it’d not be such a strange thing for him to ride around on the back of a creature if he managed to kill a flying monster somewhere.
Chairman is definitely a man who honors great people. As he personally prepares to speak to Min Byung Gu his employee told him about Sung’s arrival. Then Jin Woo speaks with the chairman about Kaisel. The debut of Kaisel is also revealed. Jin Woo moreover remained quiet about shadow exchange.
Goh Gun-Hui’s curiosity had been satisfied now. And it was time to get to the main topic.
“You said you wanted to speak to me….?”
“Yes.”
“Is something the matter?”
“I’ve taken care of all the ants on the island.”
“Excuse me??”
Goh Gun-Hui jumped up from his seat.
“You managed to kill every single one of those ants?!”
“Yes.”
Jin-Woo confidently replied.
“You won’t encounter any problems when entering Jeju Island.”
“But, how….”
No, Goh Gun-Hui could already guess the ‘how’ of it.
The TV camera caught the sight of hundreds of Jin-Woo’s summons. If those things combed every inch of Jeju Island, then it wouldn’t be a problem for him to annihilate every single ant in such a short period of time.
The important point here was, of course, entry into Jeju Island was possible now.
And it also signified that they would be able to retrieve Hunter Min Byung-Gu’s remains resting deep within the ant tunnel, too.
Goh Gun-Hui was greatly troubled by the fact that the remains of Hunter Min Byung-Gu had to be left abandoned there until the ant monsters were all gone, but now….
The ends of his eyes reddened up with emotions. He then wholehearted thanked Jin-Woo.
“Thank you very much, Seong Jin-Woo Hunter-nim.”
Finally, Jin-Woo tells about the massacre of all of the ants. The chairman thanked Jin-Woo for all his efforts and since Jeju Island is completely wiped, the remains of Min can now be retrieved. He didn’t poke much on how Jin Woo did this as he knew how capable this man was.
