~STRING to SHADOW~•Solo Leveling•

~Chapter~4

The headquarters of the Korean hunter association.

Alora sat poised on the couch, sipping hot coco, it had a strong flavour so she chould somewhat taste it.

Opposite her, sat the Chairman of the hunter association, Go gunhee, with a warm smile on his face.

His hair has become grey with age, and his face filled with wrinkles, he wore a black suite, normally he would have a air of authority.

But maybe because he was talking to a child he looked warm and inviting like a loving grandpa.

Alora spoke setting down the cup.

"Apologies for coming uninvited."

"It's alright, the hunter association gladly welcomes you, its not everyday we have such a young guest."
"The reason of your visit?"

Chairman Go asked with a gentle smile.

Alora looked into the cup of Coco and replied.

"You know my condition, just sightseeing is all."

Chairman Go's expression fell, he observed the little girl carefully, he said softly.

"I see. I hope you have a great time."

Even if the American government blocked information about her.

There's no way they would be able to hide it entirely, so there was high chance this person knew everything. And judging by his expression her guess seemed to be true.

"Of course there's another reason. I'm here to meet a person. I would really appreciate it if the association would help me contact him."

Alora says as she takes a sip of the Coco.

Chairman Go didn't look surprised,it seems he had already guessed she wasn't here to just sightsee, He asked.

"We would gladly do it, who is this person?"

"Sung Jin woo.'"
Alora smiled meaningfully.

Chairman Go's eyes widend, he was surprised and shocked, but he managed to mask it perfectly.

"We'll do so."
He said with a smile.

He was a little reluctant in agreeing, after all  Sung Jin woo, an E rank hunter was under investigation.

He survived a red gate with with out any injuries other than a scratch on his cheek. Not only that he even saved a few other members, and they were all without even a single scratch.

It has to be known that even S ranker aren't able to claim such a feat.

He was even more reluctant when an sick S ranker came all the way here to meet him, isn't it all too suspicious?

But he agreed nonetheless, because Alora simply asked to meet him, it would be rude to refuse.

***

Sung jin woo suddenly got a call from the hunter association, saying there was someone important who wished to meet him.

He didn't want to go, he had things to do, but he was curious, who would want to meet him?

So he arrived at the location.

It was a restaurant that is quite famous for It's food, it was a private room, so he didn't have trouble finding it.

He opened the door, and walked in, inside there was only a little girl drinking a cup of Coco, dangling her feet.

He was about to turn around to check the room number, when a crisp and clear voice rang out.

"It's the right one."

He turned around and glanced around the room, there was on one, then he was here to meet her?

He walked forward, and to his utter surprise, a system window appeared.

[ Unusual entity discov-\~•|'×\]

He cautioned immediately, he finally understood why 'important' was used to describe this small girl, she was dangerous.

Even the system couldn't detect her, is she a humanoid dungeon beast? His expression which was neutral a moment ago, became cold.

Alora placed the cup down, used her ability to stand up and said with a warm smile.

"Hello hunter Sung, it's a great pleasure to meet you."

Jin woo was studded into silence, she used mana..to control her own body...she can't be a human, no human her age can use mana, forgot about using it to control limbs.

"Let me introduce myself first, I am Alora, As you might not know, I'm an S rank control type hunter from America."

Alora introduced herself with a warm expression, her eyes sparkling with excitement which she held it in.

Jin woo knew the S rank hunter list, no child hunter this small was in America, he was ready to attack.

"Chairman go can be the validator, I am still small so my info is not available for public, for my safety."

Alora sat back down, took the tablet from the tea table and video called chairman Go, then held it up for jin woo to see.

After receiving the call, Chairman Go simply nodded, meaning approval.

Jin Woo relaxed, but his guard was still up, the fact that this girl was strange did not change, he walked up to the chair opposite her and sat down.

Alora had thought long and hard about how to start this conversation, she sipped her Coco again and said slowly.

"I'm sure you were angry that you couldn't extract the ice elves shadows."

Jin Woo's eyes widened, how did she know about his shadows? there were two possibilities, either the ones he saved didn't keep their mouth shut or this girl somehow found out on her own, both were troublesome.

But even if they spilled information about the shadow soldiers, how did she know he wasn't able to extract the ice elves shadows? And that he was angry?

Without giving him anytime to digest anything, she continued, her lips curling up.

"How about I give you a better one? A stronger one?"

Jin Woo calmed down, his eyes cooled, he asked his voice cold.

"Who are you?"

Ashaya cheerily replied.

"Me? Well as you can already guess, I'm not a normal human, hmm to be literal, I used to be a higher dimensional being."

Jin Woo squinted his eyes, deciding on whether to believe her or not.

Alora knew he wouldn't believe her, so she decided to hide nothing, she'll make use of her knowledge!

"I know for example that the exililer of life will cure your mother, you have a leveling up system, you can understand Monstar language, you made a shadow out of a human."
