From Hunter x Hunter to Supreme Will

Chapter 678 Weird Association

After a while, blue left.

If Long Zhen didn't accept him as a disciple, there was nothing he could do.

At most, I feel lost.

As for the fact that Long was going to leave Ikeno, the boy didn't believe it 100%.

...

The next day, Long received the news.

Saitama's ranking among B-class heroes has improved... He also jumped directly from 18th in S-class to 1st in S-class.

Saitama congratulated him against his will, even though his nose wasn't a nose and his eyes weren't eyes.

But Long didn't look happy at all.

The reaction was rather muted.

Normally speaking, even an S-class hero would not be able to improve his ranking so quickly. Although the disaster brought by Boros was huge and made all the S-class heroes feel pressured...but in terms of merit, he was far from worthy of such treatment. It would be good enough if Long could move up ten places at most.

Obviously, this was done by Sitch taking advantage of his privilege.

His answer was that regarding Oboro temporarily replacing Blast as the number one... the top management had consulted other S-class heroes in advance.

The decision on whether Long is qualified will be made through voting.

Although Xichi and his friends are high-ranking members of the association, they do not dare to directly bypass other S-class heroes to get things done.

You know, heroic forces and factions are the most important components of the association.

Although there were some who objected, Tornado, Bang, Atomic Samurai, Child Emperor, King, and Dog Man all expressed their agreement.

The opponents include Flash Flash, Metal Knight and Drive Knight.

In the end, due to the huge gap in votes, the minority obeyed the majority and Long was elected.

Genos naturally agreed that Oboro should be the number one.

It’s just that I didn’t inform Long about this matter first…I only told him after the result came out.

I clearly understood Xiqi's intention.

The destruction of the aliens this time gave Xiqi hope of tying him to the association...

In addition, the specific process and details of the destruction of the enemy and the disaster were not fully disclosed by the association, but only vaguely stated that it was through the efforts of a group of S-level heroes that the alien invaders were killed. The official website also posted photos of all the heroes who participated in the battle.

It’s not that the association doesn’t want to publicize it... but the impact of this incident is too great. The entire city A has been destroyed, which will naturally make people question the ability of the association... There are quite a lot of dissatisfied voices in society.

Even some public opinion reports are mocking S-level heroes.

Under these circumstances, even if the Hero Association averted the disaster...it still did not win the public's favor.

Otherwise, Xiqi would definitely use the propaganda department to "praise" Long and help him establish a positive image.

Even so, some fans discovered that Long's ranking on the association's official website had changed... For a time, the Internet was in an uproar again.

This forced the association’s spokesperson to hold a subsequent press conference to explain the situation.

Talking about this disaster, the 'unintentional hero' Long played a great role.

But the spokesperson's words had little credibility, because the protagonist, Oboro, did not attend the press conference...

In short...the subsequent impact of the whole incident is developing in a bad direction.

From this point of view, Long also understood...why the Hero Association could be poached so easily by Neo later on.

It's not easy to run "hero" as a business.

In society, the emergence of more organizations similar to the Hero Association to generate healthy competition is actually a good thing and something that the public would be more happy to see.

……

"Hey, Genos... Do you think Long has been a little strange these days?"

A few days later, early in the morning, Saitama walked into the house in his pajamas.

After entering the entrance hall, he stood still, stroking his chin, thinking about something. He went to look for Long, but found that Long was not at home.

"Ever since the aliens were destroyed, he's been treating us to meals... and they're always big meals."

Seeing the teacher muttering like this, Genos, who was cleaning the floor with a rag, straightened his back and began to analyze, "Teacher, are you trying to say that Mr. Oboro is very likely to use his ability to commit crimes outside again?"

"That's not what I'm talking about..."

At first, he asked Long to treat him because he was concerned about Long's "stinginess", but he didn't expect that the other party would take him out for big meals for several days in a row.

This made Saitama a little uneasy, and he always felt that something was wrong.

Saitama shook his head. "He has never been so generous... I mean, before you came, he would treat us..."

"Oh, forget it... maybe I'm overthinking it."

After muttering to himself for a few sentences, Saitama didn't pursue the matter any further.

Genos has only known Oboro for a short time... naturally he doesn't know him as well as he does.

"But this guy was gone so early in the morning...what was he doing?"

……

On the other side, Long was walking alone in an empty area in the uninhabited area, facing the morning light.

It's not far from the apartment.

"It's right here..." Long tapped the ground with the tip of his shoe and said with a smile.

He was looking for the exact location of the Monster Association's lair.

Although the area of ​​the Monster Association's 'underground camp' is quite large, the core area, which is the location of the Monster King Orochi and the activity area of ​​other Dragon-level and Demon-level monsters, is only a small area.

Obviously, before officially declaring war on the Hero Association, Big Eyes was still acting very cautiously.

After living in the apartment for such a long time, Long's soul perception had already figured out all the structures and layouts of the Monster Association's lair.

He even knew everything about the Monster Association's activities during this period.

On the first day he moved into the apartment, he discovered that some powerful weirdos were already coming and going...some of them were hunting heroes and bringing them back to their lairs.

There are also some weirdos who go out alone...but when they come back, there will be two or three or more.

Obviously, the Monster Association is purposefully and systematically blocking the heroes among humans and looking for companions, but they are just trying to avoid being discovered by the Hero Association. Their actions are very secretive... and they have not "surfaced". Moreover, the monsters that leave their nests are almost all above the demon level.

The reason why Oboro and Saitama have rarely met each other is mainly because this uninhabited area is vast, almost the size of an urban area.

Furthermore, the Monster Association is also quite meticulous, and the time and route of their actions are specific.

Then, Long's shoe tip tapped lightly again, and an elliptical space channel suddenly opened up on the ground, causing his entire body to sink to the ground.

He did not hide his aura.

Therefore, when Oboro approached the Monster Association's lair.

Underground, the big eye sitting behind the monster king Orochi immediately looked up at the top of the cave.

"Huh? There are humans coming..."

It uttered a soft "Is he a hero?"

At this time, in the center of the entire huge underground cave, standing was the huge and majestic monster King Orochi who looked terrifying.

As for the other weirdos, they hid in the dark caves on the surrounding walls. In addition to being their residences, they also served as passages connecting to other underground spaces.

As soon as it opened its mouth, the sound immediately echoed in the empty cave and spread along the passage to other parts of the nest.

Big Eyes activated his mind, and an image of a man in a black suit appeared in his mind.

"It's him!"

After seeing who was coming, Da Jingyan suddenly laughed.

Chapter 679 I'm taking a walk

The Monster Association is also very familiar with the Hero Association.

It is impossible for him not to know about Long, the S-class hero. Moreover, Long was very famous in society before, although most people did not like him.

But from the recent news released by the Hero Association, it seems that in the disaster that destroyed City A, Long seemed to have turned the tide single-handedly, and now he has become the No. 1 in S-Class, causing people to question the fairness of the Hero Association.

This kind of person... would actually come to my house? Big Eyes was amused.

They were not worried at all that Oboro, as a hero, was here to destroy them... because judging from the fact that the other party appeared in this no-man's land and the images fed back in their minds, Oboro had obviously discovered the Monster Association.

"Who are you talking about?"

A figure walked out of a dark cave opposite the Great Eye and asked coldly.

"That Heartless Hero is currently the No. 1 S-rank in the Hero Association. His strength seems to be above Tornado's... Otherwise, even if the association announced it, those S-rank heroes wouldn't acknowledge it. The fact that it was posted on the official website shows that this person must be quite capable... However, he came here alone, and it's clear that he has some purpose."

Big Eyes answered truthfully.

"One person? That's perfect. Killing him here would be a heavy blow to the Hero Association, right?"

"I heard that... this person has no sense of responsibility, and many people despise his status as a hero."

"Do you think you can take on all of us by yourself? Maybe you just found our outbound personnel... You didn't know this was our base camp, and you wanted to kill the monsters, but you didn't expect that you had walked into a dead end."

Sounds also came from the caves on the walls in other directions, and strange figures walked out one after another.

"S-class heroes are not as stupid as you think... Let's wait and see, there's no rush."

Big Eyes said calmly, "Anyway... the initiative is in our hands."

"Will he not be the first to take charge? Normally, he should inform the Hero Association of the information here..."

"Or is it that, as a newly promoted S-class hero, and the first one at that... he is too confident in his own abilities?"

Suddenly, more and more strange people came out of the caves, and everyone began to discuss in whispers.

"Ok?"
