Hunter Academy’s Greatest War God

Episode 419

No one attended the banquet wearing the symbolic white gown, even if it was a researcher of Shinsung Group. Even when the moment came when he had to reveal his job, all he had to do was display a hologram business card.

‘It’s the first time I’ve seen him… he’s wearing our lab coat…’

So the man in the gown wearing glasses looked toxic to Lippermann’s eyes, the head of the lab.

I don’t know where the research institute was in charge, but it was clear that he belonged to Shinsung Group just by looking at his participation in the banquet. The strange thing is that no matter how much I search my memory, it’s the first time I’ve ever seen a face.

‘…He started talking about a new project. It must be a newly recruited researcher.’

At the moment when I was about to ignore Lipperman, the man wearing glasses greeted me first and spoke to me.

“Aren’t you the director of the Lippermann Institute?”

“That’s right. It’s the first time I see your face. Besides… to keep wearing a lab coat until the banquet hall. Such people are rare. If I haven’t forgotten…”

“Yes, that’s right. Because of the new project. Of course, the motivation itself for applying to Shinsung Group’s research center was because of the head of the research institute, Lippermann.”

“Oh me?”

When Lippermann reacted as if he were curious, the man in the white coat laid out the knowledge he knew about Lipperman even before he entered the laboratory.

“I read all the papers written by the head of the Lippermann Institute. Classification of the components of magic crystals according to the characteristics separation and initial type. Of course, what I like the most is the effect of stress on mana cognition…”

Lippermann, who thought of the man in the gown as just an eccentric, smiled contentedly at the names of the papers that flowed naturally from his mouth.

“The last thesis was a pretty difficult subject for me too.”

“you’re right. It was really amazing that you proved it with only 5 calculations. How did you get to that realm with only reasoning…”

The researcher wearing glasses stuck out his tongue as if he was really impressed with Lippermann’s thesis.

“Since the Trait Research Act was revised… experimenting on real ‘humans’ has become taboo. It is an achievement that an ordinary and ordinary criminal like me could not achieve even if given more than 100 years.”

When a man who knew him well praised him so much, Lippermann’s shoulders went up for no reason.

“It’s not time that matters, it’s imagination. Inference is the process of proving based on that imagination. Well, of course, the result is more important than the process.”

No matter how many intellectuals there were in this field, even if it was the same researcher, Lippermann’s thesis was more than a decade old.

“But the passion for learning to search for such old papers… I want to remember my name myself.”

The man wearing glasses was delighted, saying that it was an honor for Lippermann to present a hologram business card. Even so, Lippermann was a genius. As if he had conducted a forbidden human experiment, he poured out his dissertation to areas that could not be reached by reasoning alone.

He directly proved difficult inferences as if he had seen the answer sheet.

“It is such an honor. The head of the Lippermann Research Institute would remember my name! Oh, by the way…”

However, the man with glasses shook his head with a troubled face at Lippermann’s suggestion to tell him his name.

“I have no name.”

“What do you mean? You don’t have a name?”

Lippermann frowned at his actions, wondering if this was a joke. But the man with glasses scratched his head in bewilderment.

“Ah… no one has ever built one. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if you end up giving a name to a test subject for no reason?”

The man smiled and took off his glasses. A completely opposite impression from the harmless appearance before taking off the glasses.

“You you you!”

Faced with the man’s cold smile, Lippermann’s skin turned white with fear.

“City Guard! Ahhh!”

The moment Lippermann was about to scream, the black liquid covered Lippermann’s mouth. The liquid began to squeeze into Lippermann’s body and take control of it.

“You remember me. It was very difficult to ask for my name. All you have allowed me to do is four numbers.”

Nameless.

Lipperman’s eyes widened at the sight of him, who became the leader of Rebellion and a symbol of villains.

“Four evil flesh…”

Lippermann tried to say something, but the words were blocked by the black liquid. From a place not too far away, Lippermann heard people at tables talking loudly.

“please! Life force!”

“Shh…”

Nameless placed a hand on Lippermann’s lips and warned him to be quiet.

“…Do you intend to kill them too? Your one victim is enough. Mr. Lippermann.”

I saw an analog watch on my wrist. In a world dominated by pockets and holograms, it was an unusual item.

“Isn’t it amazing? There are so many people and no one is interested in you… even when someone is dying right next to you.”

This hellish scene ended after Lippermann swallowed all the dark liquid. Only then did Lippermann catch his breath and glared at Nameless, trembling with anxiety.

“What have you done to me?”

Unlike the relaxed Nameless, Lipperman, who swallowed the black liquid, couldn’t help but feel anxious. He begged on his knees, but Nameless just smiled lightly like the first time.

“Wouldn’t it be fun to inform you of a surprise in advance?”

“please! please! Save your life! Because of the orders of my superiors…”

Lipperman begged Nameless for his life, holding on to the hem of his pants. However, Nameless had already paid attention to Lippermann for a long time. I just tilted my wine glass, sipped, wet my mouth, and said calmly.

“You would know. The nature of mana repulsion… that mana of different natures cannot be mixed and repels each other’s power like the S pole and N pole of magnetism.”

This was the most basic study that even hunters who were not researchers knew about. Barriers to block ranged attacks such as the dragon’s breath in raids were also created by grafting the principle of mana repulsion.

“That’s right. Know.”

“Then what strategy would you plan if you had an opponent you couldn’t defeat by force? If it is a being that goes beyond the human category and has strong mana like a dragon. Can you pierce his armor-like mana?”

Lippermann knew who the ‘opponent’ was. The enemy of Nameless is Yuchan Kang. And among his colleagues, they were the only swordsmen who helped him in his evil deeds.

“That’s…”

In his heart, Lippermann wanted to tell Nameless not to say crazy things. The legendary hunters were those who had experienced the 60th floor of the tower. Compared to their strength, no matter how nameless they were, they were mere villains.

“I changed my mind. If their walls are solid, you shouldn’t break them, you should sneak past the checkpoint.”

“You mean changing the nature of mana? That’s impossible… The waves of mana are the dog tags emitted by living beings. Controlling it is as absurd as water becoming fire…”

Nameless admired. After all, Lippermann, the head of the research institute, has a fast brain. Seeing that he could easily reach the answers he had reached through trial and error, he was sure of his skills.

“great. What if it is a non-living object?”

“The mana emitted by an object has a limit at best, even if it is an artifact. The overlapping of opposite qualities is an answer that denies even your first premise.”

However, unlike Lipperman’s ‘common sense’, Nameless eventually proved it in the paradox.

“you’re right. It was a really tough job. The process of giving things ‘consciousness’ for transformation. …to confine the power of living spirits to things.”

By endowing the sword with the spirit power of Roger and the witch power of Morgan, it produced results in a way that ordinary humans could not even imagine.

“Does that mean I really succeeded!?”

Lippermann was as surprised as the moment he first met Nameless at the unbelievable story. The power to break all mana shields while objects and lives overlapped was a story that intrigued me as a science explorer.

Nameless looked at Lipperman, who seemed interested, and pointed at his mouth.

“yes. It worked. What you ate is a by-product of it.”

“Ugh, that unpleasant liquid?”

“You may not feel it because you are not a Hunter, but it is already asleep in your body. If I put my mind to it, I will cause a reactionary runaway inside you.”

Then, the body of Lipperman, who is not even a hunter, will become a terrible porridge.

“…what do you want?”

“Well, it’s because of the order of the superior. I also agree. Even if I kill a cunt like you, I still don’t get offended.”

What Nameless is aiming for is Kang Yoo-chan and Swordsman. And it was the system itself called the Hunter Association. Now that the world is about to overthrow, there is no point in venting out your anger by catching a puppet like Lippermann.

“…you’re asking me to spy on you?”

“yes. You’d better not think otherwise. The mana you swallow allows us to monitor your every move. Plus, you can give commands telepathically.”

“It’s very convenient. But this is a very one-sided contract. If you’re going to die anyway, there’s no reason to help you.”

Lippermann came out quite strong as if he thought he could claim this much right.

Thanks to this, the contempt lingered on Nameless’ face for a moment, and then it was erased.

“…great. I swear by 2996’s name. When the job is done, it saves lives.”

Lippermann thought for a moment about who 2996 was. Even so, I couldn’t memorize all the code names of the test subjects. However, in the laboratory, I could guess that there was one existence that Nameless would attach such significance to.

“Is it about that girl? good. There is no choice but to do it.”

In response to Lipperman’s cool answer, Nameless patted him on the back saying that he liked it. And then he spilled the first goal into his ear.

“I will tell you… My first objective is to kill all five Hunters who reign as the Hunter World’s gods. Kang Yoo-chan, of course, the King of Kwon and the Witch. Everything, even the silver wind…”

Others would have dismissed it as crazy to say that one person would kill all the legendary hunters, a national level power, but Lipperman, who knew Nameless’ ability, swallowed in a gulp.

Dimensional contract

Are we talking about killing a god because he made a contract with some terrible being? Lippermann was curious.

But what Nameless took out of his pocket.

“And this… is the Godslayer’s sword forged to become a Godslayer.”

It was just an ordinary, worn-out sword.
