After disabling his phone, Alvin finally prepared to open the quest gate.
Knowing that he might be spending a lot of time inside the hologram room, Alvin had already left a message to Cyntia and Sam regarding his views on the progress of the S City Association.
Last night, Alvin finally figured out how great it was for Mina to hack into the internet network just by using a borrowed laptop to find information on someone Mina deemed fit to be Norman Lewis' successor.
Mina hacks into the World Association's data system to retrieve evidence that the person she's referring to is appropriate and hands it over to Alvin.
After Alvin read all the documents Mina gave him, he sent them to Cyntia and Sam to use as proof of why the man should replace Norman Lewis.
"May everyone agree," Alvin murmured as he opened the level 101 quest gate and entered.
......................
Just as usual, after passing through the gate, he directly landed on a circle 2 meters in diameter. But this time, the circle was much larger than usual.
"The circle is bigger than usual?"
["It's enough to sleep."]
"...So this exam will take as long as the other day."
Alvin then stared at the hologram room. There were no holographic creatures there. Normally, there would be a minimum of one opponent who would wait for him to give the exam.
"Where is the opponent?"
["Open the Dungeon map."]
"Are they visible?" ask Alvin astonished. He had already tried to open the map while fighting the Assassin-type hologram creature to see where it was but the hologram creature did not enter the map.
["Because this time your opponent is so hard to beat, Rimi will help you."]
Alvin opened the map and saw the red dot right in front of him, outside the circle.
Alvin was silent, staring at the map and where the creature should stand in turn.
"Stealth?"
["No."]
"Ghost skills?"
["He didn't use any disappearing skills. He's just running around."]
"Y-yes?"
Mina smiled. Alvin could not see the smile.
Alvin opened the inventory window and took a small knife from there. He then threw the knife in the direction where the creature should be, but the knife immediately turned on him as soon as it flew out of the circle.
Stab...!
The knife flew back so fast that he could not see the knife coming to avoid it.
"F!"
Alvin could hear Mina's voice laughing at him.
Alvin pulled out the knife. Fresh blood dripped out of his stomach. He wanted to use the healing skill, but he could not use it at all.
"What the fuck? Why can't I use my skills?"
["The neutral zone this time will neutralize you from using the skill as well."]
"What?! How do I heal myself?"
["Out of this zone."]
"It won't be possible if my opponent's speed is like this."
["Inadvertently done. Because your opponents will have speed like this examiner of yours. You must be able to heal yourself very quickly."]
"But it takes a second to change jobs."
["Then you have to find the right time to do it,"]
["Here you go, try to get out of the neutral zone first. Try to fight it first. You'll get to know your enemy even more if you've tried to fight him."]
Glup...
"..."
Alvin gulped his saliva once more, then dashed out of the neutral zone.
He directly aimed both of his palms in the direction where the opponent was to fire a thunderbolt. Yet...
Sratt...!
Not yet had time to use his magic, both of Alvin's wrists had broken without him knowing and seeing when the attack came at him.
Sratt... Sratt...!
After the first attack, Alvin immediately got a second attack that immediately beheaded both legs as well.
Not until there, he could also feel the blade of a cold sharp object now stuck to his neck.
The makhuluk slowly revealed its form. His white hologram eyes looked at Alvin's eyes with a cold gaze and the creature grinned and spoke in a mocking tone.
"You're dead."

As a representative of the Central Association, Lowe Frostman had to face protests from City S hunters who rejected the appointment of a new Association chairman from the Central Association.
For almost two weeks he has been under fire from hunters who come and go to his temporary office that the Association provides specifically for him.
Therefore today, after 2 weeks of Norman Lewis's death, Lowe finally received all representatives from the top 10 guilds in S City to speak directly in his office.
After a few minutes passed to mince words, Mark Friedl began discussing the main points of the meeting.
"In my opinion, the classic method is very suitable for the appointment of an Association chairman in City S, Mr. Frostman," said Mark, which managed to grab the attention of everyone sitting on the side of the circle-shaped table to her.
Mark continued, "The city of S has stood alone for decades without the Association's interference. Also, we no longer want someone like Norman Lewis to be the leader of the hunters in S City."
Lowe nodded slowly, then replied, I understand what you mean, Mr. Friedl. But, you can see for yourself how the development of S City has been separated from the Central Association. Don't talk about heavy things. Let's take a look at the simple but very important thing that the S City Association doesn't have like Association equipment that's already very lagging behind."
"We can buy all that advanced equipment later. You think the new chairman will be the same as Norman Lewis?" mark said, cutting the real Lowe still wants to talk.
Lowe smiled.
"You don't seem to know. You will not be able to get the standard equipment that is mandatory for the hunters Association around the world to use even though the City S Association has enough funds to buy it" said Lowe.
Mark frowned.
"Why not?"
"Sato Corp. has signed a cooperation contract with the World Association. They won't sell standard equipment to anyone other than the Association."
"Then we will buy from the private sector" Mark said.
"If you do, then you will create a new problem. Do you know what the selling price is that the private party set? You will strangle the City S hunter with very high taxes to be able to meet the cost of purchasing raid equipment. Instead of being better, you might be much more troublesome than Norman Lewis" Lowe said.
Although what he said seemed like bluffing, Lowe said it in a normal tone, so that none of the hunter representatives in the room felt scared.
All the hunters, including Mark, fell silent. They thought about what Lowe had just said in silence. They knew what Lowe said was true.
Sam Maxwell, one of the two representatives of the Maximus guild who had come, suddenly stood up. All of the hunters present were initially startled as he pulled out his sword. However, when Sam put the sword on the table, they were relieved.
"For the raid gear, you can see the quality of my sword, Mr. Frostman. With the same ranking standards made by Sato Corp. I think the quality of products from this private company is far superior" said Sam.
Lowe took the sword. He frowned when he felt the magic energy contained in Sam's sword.
"S.S-ranked sword," Lowe murmured after being able to gauge the strength of the sword.
"It should be like that" said Sam who could hear the murmur.
"Yes?"
"Unfortunately, the weapon information that Rufino's company gave this sword is not SS rank as you said. To them, this was simply an S rank item."
"What?!"
Sam continued, "The price is also 25% cheaper than the standard price of Sato Corp. You can see for yourself on their website."
Lowe. He stared at Sam and the sword in his hand in turn, before finally opening the official website of Rufino's company out of curiosity about what Sam said.
