"So, tell us your names."

A man stood before us, referring to himself as Agent Joo Won.

He worked for the Special Seoul Security Services—an organization that sought to protect the public from illegal activities involving dimensional energy.

Ah, dimensional energy was kind of what they called Mana here.

"My name is Jared Leonard. My colleague here is Kuzon Midas." I responded cooperatively, while Kuzon simply didn't bother speaking.

I could tell he was dissatisfied with my decision. He didn't think it was the best use of our time, and he probably felt it was tok humiliating for someone as powerful as he was to be arrested and questioned by weaklings.

'But, well, he doesn't have [The Hermit] Arcana, so he doesn't know that this is for the best.'

Thanks to my synchronization from my first alternate world, as well as the intense analysis of the golden portal that the Blu-Blu formed, I was able to complete the process.

'Now I can sync my Arcanas to any world by simply connecting the frequency to the current wavelength.'

As a result, I could use my Arcanas in any branch.

'Its better we just cooperate with these people. They're good guys.' I smiled.

Public officers like these fought for the security of the people. They had been investigating the movements of the Brokers for some time now, and they had already planned to raid them before we showed up.

One could say that we interfered in their operations.

'Then again, we did help in subjugating their targets. Shouldn't they cut us some slack?' I understood that things weren't so clear cut in this world, though.

Especially considering the kind of harm Brokers like the ones we subdued caused to society.

'Its fine if we follow due process.'

"Thank you, Mr. Leonard, and Mr. Midas. Could you tell me what you were doing at the scene of the crime?"

In this culture, it was formal to refer to someone using their first names—which would be the opposite for our culture.

The officer must have noticed how distinct our names sounded from the people in this country, and so chose to switch it up.

'Good going.' I smiled.

And as for his question, "It's confidential. We can't reveal that to you."

Speaking in this strange language was a bit strange. However, thanks to Magic, I didn't stutter or get the pronunciation wrong.

Magic proved itself to be a lifesaver once again.

"Really? Why do you say it's confidential?" The Agent asked, a small frown forming on his face.

"You'll soon find out, don't worry." I shrugged. "In the meantime, can I have some time alone with my partner here? Perhaps I can convince him to be more cooperative with you?"

We were currently bound by anti-dimensional energy cuffs (ADE Cuffs for short), but it did pretty much nothing to affect our abilities.

I could easily control the man if I wanted, but there was no real point.

He was going to leave anyway.

"Very well. I'll be back shortly." Agent Joo Won rose from his seat and left for the door, stealing one final glance at Kuzon and I before finally leaving the us.

"Whew!" A tiny huff escaped my lips. It was now time to handle the brewing storm.

'Here goes...'

"Why are we doing this, Jared? There's no time!"

"Relax, Kuzon. I'm sure you can use your powers in this world. Do you detect anyone from our world anywhere in this world?"

He looked a bit hesitant, and then finally shook his head.

"They're probably in a Dungeon currently. We might as well wait it out until they come out. Besides, we shouldn't unnecessarily cause havoc in a new world."

Especially when they weren't using unjustifiable violence against us.

"I have access to 21 Arcanas. You have the aid of a Constellation. I'm sure we can both agree that this world poses no real threat to us."

"The issue is time."ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by ɴovel(F)ɪre - novelenglish.net . bin

"That's all relative. It's fine. I'm sure our dear ol' pal, Neron accounted for all of this too."

I didn't know how consequential and inconsequential this world would be in the grand scheme of things.

However, it was far better to forge good connections, or at least neutral ground, before obtaining what we wanted.

"How long do we have to stay here, then?"

"It shouldn't be long. In fact, right about... now?"

The moment I said that, our dear friend, Agent Joo Won, opened the door once again.

This time, he had a slightly flustered look on his face, and he was standing stiffly, even bowing his head a little.

It was partially because of us, but that wasn't the specific reason. Agent Joo Won was acting this way because of the person that entered the room after he did.

'There you are, Director!' I hid my smile and watched a man appearing to be in his late thirties enter the room.

He had pure black hair, which I noticed to be a norm in this place, and he wore a brown suit, with a really nice tie.

He had an air of poise surrounding him, and the official smile he gave off connoted experience.

The man who appeared before us was none other than Director Baek, one of the Directors of the South Korean Hunter Association, and the one in charge of the Seoul Division.

~Quit trying to hide your smile. It's so obvious.~ Kuzon's words echoed in my mind.

He was using Telepathic Magic to speak to me, no doubt.

'Well... he's going to be a useful man. Might as well be friendly towards him, especially if you want us to leave here as soon as possible.'

~Okay, fine. Whatever...~

Kuzon sometimes acted immature and pouty, but he was never slow at grasping the true nature of a situation.

I could be guaranteed of his cooperation.

"Greetings, gentlemen. My name is Baek Dong Soo. It's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance." The older man spoke, his deep voice booming across the room.

"Likewise, Director Baek." I quickly responded.

"Oh? You know who I am?"

"Isn't that what Agent Joo Won called you before entering here? My hearing is a little too sharp sometimes." I returned his words with a bright smile.

"Hehe. Is that so? Then I guess those cuffs are unnecessary."

"B-but sir, they're dangerous suspe—"

"They are indeed dangerous—enough so that those cuffs are useless on them. They could probably destroy us if they wanted to."

"I like this man. He knows his place." Kuzon remarked with a bright smile.

This was his definition of cooperation.

"In any case, the Hunter Association will be taking over the investigation of these two. They're under our purview, and are instrumental in the ongoing Dimensional Spike investigation." Director Baek furthered.

In terms of authority and influence, the Hunter Association exceeded the Special Seoul Security Service. That was why I was able to confidently call our reasons 'confidential'.

Because, in the end, the ones that truly mattered to our purposes weren't the people who arrested us, but the ones that understood our value.

"They'll be returning with us to the Hunter Association Headquarters."

[A/N]

I need a very big favor from you all.

I just started a new book. Yes, I know, this is like the millionth book.

But please just give it a try, will you? Or at least just add it to your library.

Title: Only I Can See The End

Thank you all for your help and support.

Also, I wonder how powerful the characters in this world are...
