In Zongman, he transformed into Fu Hua at the beginning

Xiadie had no intention of hiding it: "So we need to go to headquarters and use a machine that can withstand more magic power to test it."

"……what?"

Even though Han Songyi had just joined the ranks of hunters, she understood what it meant for magic power to exceed the detection limit. Although she didn't know where the limit was, she had seen an A-level hunter walk out of here with her own eyes.

But...if the upper limit of A-level is not enough to detect Sister Xiadie's magic power...

Han Songyi's eyes widened.

"Could Sister Xiadie be... S-rank?"

Chapter 5: President of the Hunter Association.

"Sister Xiadie, have we passed the station...?"

Han Songyi, who had been following Xiadie closely, dreaming of getting close to her and making a fortune in the future, finally showed confusion on his face when he saw Xiadie walking past the station.

"Ah... sorry, I... was going to walk over there."

Xiadie finally stopped after being called out. Belatedly realizing something was wrong, she looked troubled. "I... can't ride with anyone else. Why don't you wait here while I head to the association's headquarters? By the time you arrive, I should have completed the rating."

"……what?"

This was not the first time that Han Songyi was surprised by Xiadie's attitude of not wanting others to get close to her, but this time the surprise was even greater than before.

Because you don’t like people getting close to you, you don’t even take public transportation?

So how did you travel far away in the past?

"No! I'd better go with Sister Xiadie!"

Although he felt strange in his heart, after all, she was a close friend that he had finally gotten close to. Now they had not even exchanged names, let alone contact information. Maybe this was a test from Sister Xiadie?

After gritting his teeth, Han Songyi insisted.

Xiadie didn't expect the other party to be so persistent. Although the distance was not far, she could arrive in one or two minutes if she sped up. After all, the entire country H was not that big.

But that's obviously not the case for this girl.

Wait...Come to think of it, I still don't know the other person's name...

"I keep forgetting to introduce myself. I'm Xiadie, or you can call me... Senatos Castoris Polysia."

These are the names Xiadie filled in on her ID card. One is the name from Country Y on her ID, and the other is the name she would be given after arriving in Country H.

Amber likes the story of Xiadie and Polyusia very much. Although Polyusia was not drawn out, at least her name can be recorded together with Xiadie. The name composition of Country Y is surname, first name, father's name, mother's name, but putting Polyusia on it...there is nothing wrong with it actually.

After saying that, Xiadie took out her phone: "Let's save each other's numbers."

"Ah! I'm Han Songyi, Sister Xiadie."

Han Songyi didn't expect to exchange contact information under such circumstances. Isn't this a test for herself?

Although she thought so in her heart, she did not hesitate. She took out her mobile phone and saved the contact. She felt relieved a little.

"Mr. Han Songyi, just take the car here. There is no need to force yourself to keep up with me."

Seeing this, Xiadie spoke again: "Please rest assured, if I want to withdraw from the team, I will inform you in advance."

"Then... that's fine."

Since they had already exchanged contact information, Han Songyi was no longer so anxious. However, noticing Xiadie's way of speaking, he still said, "Sister Xiadie, you don't have to call me Your Excellency or anything like that. Even though we just met, we're still...friends, right? Calling me Your Excellency or something like that is too unfamiliar, and besides, I'm not a very special person."

Shamelessly, Han Songyi directly classified their relationship as that of friends.

"Is this...?"

There wasn't much emotion on Xiadie's face, but judging from her complicated tone, she didn't seem to be resisting.

Han Songyi carefully judged the other party's thoughts and waited nervously for the next words.

"I understand. If Han Songyi doesn't mind..."

This was an answer Han Songyi didn't expect.

She thought the other party would reluctantly accept, politely refuse or directly deny it, but she never expected it to be this kind of... self-deprecating answer, as if he felt he didn't deserve to have friends.

Han Songyi became more and more confused. Xiadie was the most beautiful person she had ever seen, even more beautiful than a celebrity. And from the fact that she said she was waiting for the bus first, the man's flattering look, and the magic power that exceeded the test limit, it was obvious that she was also very powerful.

How could such a person think that others don't want to be friends with her?

Come to think of it, she has always kept a distance from others... Rather than saying that others don't want to make friends with her, it's better to say that she is taking the initiative to distance herself from others, right?

"Of course I don't mind! However, friends from Country H usually don't call people by their full names like that."

Although she didn't know why, Han Songyi didn't ask right away. Even she knew that this kind of topic wasn't something that could be brought up right now, so she simply skipped the subject: "If it's Sister Xiadie, just call me Songyi."

"Ah."

Xiadie nodded, looked at the bus coming towards them, and said goodbye: "Well, Song Yi, we'll see you later at the Hunter Association headquarters."

"it is good!"

After saying goodbye to the girl she had just met, Xiadie found an alley and then jumped to the roof of a building, flying straight above the city. This not only made it convenient for her to observe the city, but also saved time on detours. After continuous jumping and observation, she arrived at the Hunter Association headquarters in just over a minute.

Compared to the branch just now, the headquarters was obviously much larger and had more traffic. After Xiadie entered, she followed the signs all the way to the rating floor and saw a long line at the front desk.

Just as she was thinking about how to queue, she saw a man with light brown slicked back hair and a business suit walking towards her: "Hello, are you Miss Xiadie?"

"Yes."

It seems that the director must have informed the headquarters.

Xiadie nodded directly.

"Regarding your level test...it may take another two days to prepare. I'm truly sorry for wasting your time."

After confirming his identity, the man immediately bowed his head and apologized. Although his face did not show much expression, his respectful words and decent manners were impeccable.

"Is this so..."

Hearing this, Xiadie frowned slightly. This was different from what the director said before.

Although it was not urgent, she had made an appointment to form a team with Han Songyi after all. She originally wanted to get the license matters done quickly and then register the team with them.

"If you're in a hurry, I can introduce you to the president of the Hunter Association."

When the man with slicked-back hair saw Xiadie's expression, he immediately offered another solution.

"Then please, sir."

It seems that there is a VIP channel. After all, according to what the director said, there are only ten people in S-level, including her. If there is no special treatment at all, then we should doubt the management ability of the association.

"Yes, please come with me."

The man with his slicked-back hair responded respectfully, then took Xiadie to the elevator and all the way to the top floor.

After pushing open the door marked with the President's Office, I saw a tall and burly man with several scars on his face. He was sitting at his desk. He looked to be in his seventies or eighties, but his physique did not show his age at all. Instead, he looked strong and imposing.

But what was different from his appearance and temperament was his kind smile: "I didn't expect you to come so soon, Miss Xiadie. I originally made a pot of tea for you, but the water didn't have time to heat up yet."

Chapter 6 Invitation of the Association.

As the president spoke, he stood up from his desk and walked to the low table and sofa used to receive guests and sat down. He then gestured to the sofa opposite him and said, "Ms. Xiadie, please sit down too. You're welcome. After all, I took the initiative to ask you to come here."

"Take the initiative to find me...?"

Xiadie was stunned for a moment and looked at the man with his hair slicked back and standing at the door with his head lowered.

"Haha, sorry, I told him to say that."

The president said with a smile.

"Sorry... I'll just stand here."

The old man's frank attitude did indeed help Xiadie feel less negative about being deceived, but she still had to talk about the matter openly: "About the test...?"

"Well, we said that to bring you here, but please don't get me wrong, this isn't us trying to do anything bad to you."

The old man's voice was bright and kind, making it hard to feel any resentment. "Let me introduce myself first. I'm Gao Jianli, the president of the Hunter Association. Miss Xiadie, I've been waiting for you to come because I want to discuss something with you."

"Your Excellency, please speak at your pleasure."

"First of all, congratulations on receiving the S-rank rating."

Gao Jianli smiled and said, "The significance of the second test is actually not that great. When the current result comes out, it means that you have already reached S-rank."

"Thank you."

Xiadie's voice lacked any emotion, and Gao Jianli sensed she wasn't one to beat around the bush. His smile widened. "Then I'll get straight to the point. I'd like to invite you to join the Hunter Association and become an Association Hunter."

“President!?”

The man with slicked-back hair, who had remained calm until now, was instantly shocked by these words.

"Association Hunter...?"

Xiadie had indeed not considered this matter. After all, the Hunter Association was obviously the administrative organization of Country H. How could an outsider like herself join the Hunter Association?

Looking at the surprised look of the man behind me, I knew that this matter was not so easy to accept.

Gao Jianli didn't know what Xiadie was thinking and assumed she hadn't considered this, so he continued, "The association is large, but there aren't many excellent hunters. Hunter Wu Zhenzhe behind Miss Xiadie is already one of the association's top hunters."

Xiadie recalled for a moment and found that there seemed to be no one with this name in the S-level.

"As you might imagine, A-rank is already the strongest force in the guild. After all, powerful hunters generally join large guilds where it's easier to gain fame and income."

Gao Jianli said.

“Is there any difference in treatment between the guild and the association?”

The person in front of him is one of the country's top managers, and Xiadie will naturally not miss this opportunity to supplement his worldview.

"Miss Xiadie has only recently arrived in this country, so there must be a lot she doesn't understand."

Gao Jianli nodded. "If I were to say the biggest difference between a guild and an association, it's that the magic crystals obtained by the association after conquering a dungeon must be handed over to the state, while the guild can keep them for themselves. In addition, guild hunters can enjoy a tax reduction of up to 40%."

This alone makes the treatment show a huge difference. On the one hand, people get a fixed salary and go through life and death, while on the other hand, although they don’t get a salary, they can get high rewards for going through life and death.

"Association Hunters have the right to command Guild Hunters. Failure to obey orders will be considered treason, but..."

Gao Jianli's eyes sank slightly. "Miss Xiadie may also know that when one has enough power, one can even let one's will override the rules."

The leaders of large hunter guilds are all S-rank. Do you dare to treat S-rank hunters as traitors if they disobey orders? The other countries will laugh at you. If you don't want them, we will poach them.

Not to mention S-level, even A-level is a rare force. Even if the association has the authority to dispatch them in name, it will not dare to deal with them forcefully if the other party really doesn't listen.

"We need powerful hunters who can check and balance, or even suppress the guild."

Gao Jianli didn't say it, but his attitude clearly showed that the butterfly in front of him was just like that.

Wu Zhenzhe behind him couldn't understand the situation at all.

Before Xiadie came here, the president clearly didn't tell him these things. He clearly felt that Xiadie's identity was suspicious and wanted to meet her in person to test her. Why did he suddenly change his attitude to this?

And from what the president was saying, this Miss Xiadie must be incredibly powerful. Could she be on par with Choi Joong-in or even Cha Hae-yi? No, if she were just on par with them, the president wouldn't be reacting this way...

Could it be that... Miss Xiadie's strength is similar to Goto from Country R?

Wu Zhenzhe swallowed.

If that's really the case... Indeed, even if it means offending Country Y, they should keep the other party in Country H...

Although Xiadie has not yet conducted a second test, Wu Zhenzhe has no doubt that the president's vision is worse than that of the testing equipment.

"I will prepare an important position for you in the association."

Gao Jianli said: "If you need a lot of money, I will also try to get it."

"..."

Xiadie roughly understood the structure of this country. Thermal weapons could not cause harm to the creatures in the portal. In other words, it was not the government and the army, but the hunters that supported the country and even the world.

Unfortunately, the Hunter's Guild is not a government agency, and the president who serves as its manager is also an individual. This is equivalent to the fact that the country's military power is not in the hands of the country, but in the hands of a general who is not fully controlled.

Currently, the generals (guilds) are maintaining peace, but if I, as a new S-rank, join a guild, the balance may be disrupted.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand the president's actions. I guess my appearance must have made him both happy and sad.

but……

"I'm sorry, sir, I can't promise you right away."

Xiadie shook her head.
