A month passed, and not much happened during that time. The topic of hunters and dungeons is now widely mentioned on the internet and is becoming increasingly popular these days. This almost beats the popularity of Hero.

This caused an uproar in the Association Office but luckily, it was now resolved. There were also some changes to the Association. There were more workers and the Association would soon get a new, larger office building for all administrative activities, while the old office would become a branch office that took care of research, development, and training facilities for Hunters.

There are some arguments about the new office since most workers are now comfortable with the current office. Also about the location of the new office that is a bit far from the dormitory. But in the end, they all agreed, but only they were willing to move. Some of them will stay, running the old office.

Izuku is the one who stays in charge of the old office. He was currently helping Sugimoto pack up his things to get ready to move. He had to move since Sugimoto was one of the executives.

" Sugimoto-San is this all you need? "

" yes, that's all, thanks for helping me, I have to say goodbye to this place "

Sugimoto looked around his old office, there was a hint of melancholy as he reminisced about the time he spent in this small underground office.

" You're welcome, it will be quiet after everyone is gone "

" you're right, I wonder how his new office will be "

" it must be better than here "

" I hope so "

Izuku helped Sugimoto move the boxes to his car and then headed to the new Office Building of the Association. The new office is located in Tokyo. This is a high-rise building provided by the governor a few months ago.

They got there and began to move Sugimoto's belongings to his new office on the 4th floor. Compared with his previous office, this one is bigger and brighter, since the previous one was underground.

Sugimoto looked around at his new office, then stood in front of the window, enjoying the scenery outside. Izuku walked in with the box in his hand, he saw Sugimoto then approached him and stood next to him.

" Fortunately here has a good view of the city "

" you're right "

" at least it's brighter here "

" Of course, it's not underground. Anyway, come on, help me unpack these boxes "

" Okay "

Izuku helped Sugimoto tidy up his new office so they didn't notice that it was already evening and the sky had turned orange. Although there were still a few boxes left, Sugimoto asked him to leave them and told him to go home.

Izuku agreed and then went home by himself. He checked his phone and saw a message from Kiyoko saying that they were conducting a raid near the new Association office. He then turned to head to the raid location to meet them.

The location of dungeon is on an abandoned construction site, it is said that the owner of this construction escaped with the money that should have been used for construction.

As Izuku arrive at the location, a few people gathered around to see the gate, some bureau agents kept them from approaching. He became close to them, and the agents recognized him and greeted him.

" Hunter Izuku, what brings you here? "

" Good work everyone, I'm here just to visit "

People saw Izuku, they started whispering, wondering what a teenager was doing there and why the bureau agent respected him.

" Who is that kid? ", " what is he doing here? ", roughly like that.

Izuku looked at those people and then sighed.

" Were these people here in the first place? "

" yes, they had already gathered before the raid even began "

" People have always been like that, by the way, how long has it been since the raid team came in? "

" It's been two hours, sir "

" two hours, they should be out soon "

Izuku walked towards the gate, waiting there when he suddenly felt a strong wave of mana coming from inside the dungeon.

' This magic energy... undoubtedly this energy from the boss, but if the energy is this big then... '

The bureau agent who saw the strange change in Izuku's attitude approached him trying to find out if there was something wrong.

" Um... sir, is something wrong? "

" What rank is this gate? "

" that, it's an A-rank sir "

" Who's coming in? "

" One S-rank, and Three A-rank, sir "

" Damn it!... call the main raid team right now! "

"But sir... what happened? "

" This dungeon is a high-ranking A dungeon, the current assault team can't handle it, and they will all die at this level, call them immediately! "

" Yes sir, but what are you going to do? "

" I'll go in "

" w-wait, isn't it dangerous? "

" I can't leave them, you have to stay here until they arrive! "

" Yes sir "

Izuku then rushed to the dungeon. His heartbeat became faster as he approached the boss room.

' Please be safe '

A few hours earlier, a raid team had gathered in front of the gate of an abandoned construction site. They are Kiyoko, Daichi, Katsuhito, and Ichirou.

They are all about to do a raid on the A-rank dungeon, and they are in preparation. While the others were still gearing up, Kiyoko was chatting on the phone with a few people.

She then sees that Izuku is online, and she decides to text him, asking if he will join the dinner after the attack is over.

" Kiyoko what are you doing? hurry up we are almost ready "

" Okay, wait a minute... "

Daichi who finished preparing approached Ichirou while looking at Kiyouko who was busy with herself.

" Who did she text with such an excited face "

" maybe his boyfriend "

Not long after, Katsuhito joined the conversation.

" Does she have a boyfriend or something?"

" don't know "

" Well, put that aside, they're here again "

They all saw the crowd that Katsuhito was talking about, not only the general public but some reporters as well.

" Just leave them alone, we can't just cast them out anyway "

" some people must be curious since it's something new for them "

" you are right "

After a while, Kiyoko finally joined the group.

" What are you talking about? "

" It's nothing, let's go " (Katsuhito)

" hey!... "

" Never mind Kiyoko, let's go in " (Daichi)

" Hmmph..."

The four of them entered the gate without hesitation, unaware of what danger was waiting behind the gate.

Five minutes after they entered, they were greeted by a swarm of attacking dungeon jackals as soon as they saw the attacking team. Ichirou's group is shocked by the unexpected existence inside the A-rank dungeon but can deal with them with ease. They looked at the wolf's body and could only feel something suspicious about it.

" Hey, do jackal dungeons usually appear in A-rank dungeons? " (Katsuhito)

" I don't think so, if it were an A-rank dungeon, the lower monsters should have already been hunted by more powerful monsters " (Ichirou)

As Ichirou finished explaining, Daichi approached one of the jackal's bodies and noticed that there was a rope mark on their necks.

"Ichirou-San look at this, isn't it strange to see this scar?" (Daichi)

" rope trace?, this is not an ordinary jackal, there must be something keep it..." (Ichirou)

" If what you said is true, then there must be an intelligent monster inside " (Katsuhito)

" Isn't that intelligent monster difficult to deal with? " (Kiyoko)

"yes you are right, so captain are we going to keep going or retreat?, we follow your decision" (Daichi)

" I... "

Just as Ichirou was about to speak, they heard heavy footsteps coming from inside. Footsteps approached, revealing a huge and tall figure with a red body and two fangs sticking out of his lower jaw.

" h-high Org?... "

"Why is high Org?!"

They panicked, they didn't expect to meet the high Org here. The mana measurement shows that this dungeon level is a low A-rank, but the appearance of a high Org here shows that this dungeon is a high A-rank dungeon. With the current raid team, they can't clear this dungeon.

Ichirou, trying to calm himself down, ordered his members to prepare for battle. The High Org in front of them emitted quite a strong intimidation and bloodlust.

Although they appeared in flocks, they did not directly attack the party. One of the leading Orgs pointed his sword at Ichirou, challenging him to a duel.

Ichirou, who understood Org's intentions, took a step forward, facing Org.

" I-Ichirou-San what are you doing?"

" Retreat Daichi, you should take the others and get out of here, tell the bureau about this, and I will try to restrain them "

" b-but Ichirou-San... "

" Daichi!..., please... "

Although Daichi hesitated at first, he obeyed Ichirou's orders. When he was about to take out the rest of the party, they were blocked by other high Orgs.

Org growled at them, saying an incomprehensible word. Suddenly Org's face changed and said a word that shocked the entire raid party.

" Human... "

" human... "

" I'm Kargalgan... I want to... meet... you... human... "

Ichirou and his team froze in shock when they heard the monster speak human language.

" Org speaks the human language? is it magic or something? "

" It's just a puppet, other people talk through it "

" How is Ichirou-San? the monster wants to meet us, it must be a trap "

Ichirou was silent for a moment, his head dizzy, thinking about the best way to get out of this situation with a small probability of death.

" Kargalgan, are you in charge of that Org? "

" yes... I... The Great Witch... Org... the arrogant... "

" Is there anyone stronger than you in this cave? "

" who... will... brave... go... against me!

Choose... died by... my men... or... follow... my men. "

" I'll follow you, but let the others go "

"" ICHIROU-SAN!... ""

A dangerous choice, but as long as the lives of his teammates are guaranteed, he is willing to take risks. For others, they want to disobey his orders if they could.

" What are you talking about? we won't let you die so easily " (Katsuhito)

" he's right, we can't leave you " (Daichi)

They were arguing among themselves before they could even calm down, they were suppressed by the boss's aura.

" who... you... decide... things here... Drag... THEM HERE! ... "

Org suddenly goes crazy after receiving the Order from Kargalgan, they attack, trying to capture the raid team. Ichirou and the others tried to resist, but they were helpless in the face of the 50 High Org warriors who attacked them blindly.

In the end, the raid team was captured and they were dragged into the boss's room with a body full of wounds and blood dripping on the floor, leaving traces along the way.

They arrived at the boss room which was a throne room filled with hundreds of High Org warriors. On the throne sits a High Org who exudes intense intimidation with just his presence, he is Kargalgan the High Org Wizard. Standing next to him were four generals exuding the same intimidation.

Ichirou's body was thrown into the middle of the room, right in front of Kargalgan while the others were held back by another high Org.

"Ah, Shak...

welcome humans... "

Ichirou tried to stand up with difficulty with his sword as support. He looked at Kargalgan who was sitting on the throne with his hands resting on his elbows.

" Are you afraid of me? Human. "

The huge wave of magical energy emitted by Kargalgan was so great that it made the raid team kneel again. Their bodies seemed to be torn apart with just a wave of mana. They couldn't even move because of the pressure.

Although he struggled, Ichirou's condition was still much better than the others. He tried very hard just to open his mouth.

" w-why, you. brought us here... "

" for entertainment. "

The faces of the entire raid team turned dark when they heard that.

" What? "

" For the rest of our time here, we will kill you one by one for the amusement of my men, yet there seems to be one slightly stronger one among you "

Ichirou's face solidified at Kargalgan's words. For him, their lives were nothing more than toys he could play with and trash with whenever he wanted. Enraged, Ichirou attacks Kargalgan.

" BASTARD... "

" Hymn of Protection. "

BANG~

The shape of the magic shield in front of Kargalgan collided with Ichirou's sword making a loud explosion sound. Unable to break through his defenses, Ichirou was thrown back to his original location.

" stupid human beings.

Hymn of Gravitation "

Kargalgan activates his magic, lifting Ichirou's body into the air.

" Gravity Acceleration. "

Ichirou's body suddenly fell, hitting the ground hard until his body was buried. Didn't just stop there, Ichirou's body moved again according to Kargalgan's will, he fell many times to the ground and almost lost consciousness.

His body was covered with blood and dust, unable to move anymore. His breathing was weak, his injuries made the blood block the flow of breath which made it difficult for him to breathe.

" I-Ichirou-San... "

The raid team who witnessed all this could only stare with tears on their faces. They still couldn't move their bodies, helplessness made their bodies freeze. All they can do is pray, and hope that help will come to their rescue.

Kargalgan looked at Ichirou's body buried in the ground and motionless.

" boring... "

Kargalgan waved his hand, and a general standing next to him stepped forward towards the already helpless Ichirou. General Org raised the axe he was holding high.

But...

BANG~

The moment he swung his axe, it was blocked by something, and the impact of the impact made him hit the ceiling.

When the dust was lifted, a figure with shining blue eyes stood in front of Ichirou's motionless body. Slowly his green hair appeared behind the dust. The figure that had just appeared exuded such strong intimidation and bloodthirsty that it could make the High Org tremble.

Even Kargalgan had to admit that the pressure this figure exuded was equivalent to himself.

The appearance of this figure brings surprises as well as a glimmer of hope to the invading team who are already desperate.

" I-Izuku? "

Tears once again flowed down the faces of the raid team, luck did not leave them, and a small hope finally came true. Izuku has appeared to save them all.
