Infinite Evolution: My Idle Evolution System-Chapter 325: Gathering of the World’s S-Rank Hunters
"Viola, you!"
Sharply shooting her eyes toward a gorgeous purple-haired woman descending at the front of a group, Kaida's pupils shot flames.
"Why are you getting in my way!? Are you looking for a fight as well!??"
"Calm down, Kaida," Viola said. "Your blood pressure rises far too fast at the slightest inconvenience; it's not beneficial for your health, you know? And also, the 'kid' you were just about to attack is someone you can't hope to beat. Furthermore, he'll be joining the Japanese Hunter Party for the Gate Raid."
"!??!"
The faces of many drastically changed at the announcement made by Viola.
The Dissonants who had taken on the faces of Japanese S-Rank Hunters also wore shocked expressions. They were under the assumption that they'd have to threaten him with Nuclear Bombs to get him this close to the strike location.
To think that he'd do all the work for them!
This was excellent!
Cassius's eyes shifted between the Japanese S-Rank Hunters.
He remained expressionless seeing most of them, but upon reaching the various Dissonants-in-disguise, an evil smirk emerged on his face.
"!!!" "!!!" "!!!"
The Dissonants stationed on Earth had, of course, heard rumors of the Sub-target's ability to discern whether or not they were Extraterrestrials. However, experiencing it in person was entirely different from hearing about it from others.
Furthermore, the way he stared at them was…
It was terrifying…
It was as if a Dissonant Executioner—one who had reaped the lives of countless—was looking at them.
Horrifying.
Scary.
Frightening.
In spite of the alarming thoughts of the Dissonants, the few human Japanese S-Rank Hunters displayed shock, but for a completely different reason.
In all the time they'd known Viola, she had never once spoken up on behalf of someone else.
To suddenly see her not only praise a random man, but to also watch her matter-of-factly state that this man was stronger than one of the World's Top 60 Strongest Hunters…
"Just who are you?" asked Arden Stormcall, the face of the Japanese S-Rank Hunters. "Why have we never heard of you before??"
"Wait…"
Luna—a proficient wielder of Moonlight powers—intently stared at Cassius.
"I think I've heard of him."
"You have!?"
"Yes," Luna replied to the livid Kaida.
"Do any of you recall the reports of a rising Hunter that cleared Gates at an absurd pace in the Hoshito Region? Although the reports only stayed afloat for a very limited time, I saw them and immediately became interested. However, as I had a very important experiment about to reach a breakthrough, my attention was focused elsewhere. And before I knew it, I ended up forgetting all about the reports."
"There was really such a person??" many asked. "Why were we not briefed on such a promising Japanese Hunter???"
In an accusatory way, Luna stared at the purple-haired beauty floating in front of her.

Everyone else followed her gaze, with the pieces quickly putting themselves together inside their heads.
"Viola…" Rika Starforge said in exasperation. "You tried keeping him to yourself, didn't you? You always were so very cunning; I wouldn't put it past you to do something so underhanded."
"Haha…" Viola awkwardly laughed, refusing to turn her head around and face her companions. "In this business, one must do whatever it takes to get ahead. Also, it wasn't like he wanted to join anyway, so does what I may or may not have done honestly matter?"
"Yes."
The answer was unanimous.
Even the Dissonants gave the same response, feeling especially griped that a mere human managed to figure out something that took them longer to do the same.
"Come on now," said Viola, squirming under all the intense stares boring into her backside. "I'm telling you everything now; isn't that what truly matters??"
"No."
Another unanimous answer!
Viola felt like crying, but held it in like the big girl she was.
Moreover, it wasn't like she had the luxury of releasing her grievances when Kaida was still very much in a soured mood.
"Humph!" Kaida snorted, shooting flames out of her eyes. "I don't know what your deal is, and I don't care who vouches for you," she directed at Cassius. "Just know that I very much want to beat you to a pulp and let you understand the difference between a soft, pretty boy like you and me—someone who works herself to the bone while training."
"Is that so?"
Cassius's grin curved up in amusement as he found her talking about grueling training to be quite ridiculous.
"You're an interesting one, girl. Maintain that same spirit, and who knows? One day you might just wake up and find that you're able to convert your efforts into actual strength gains."
Kaida's arched brows furrowed in anger.
"Are you patronizing me right now…?" she asked, seething. "That's it! I challenge you to a duel!!"
Cassius's grin widened ever so slightly as he decided to poke fun at her silly proposal.
"You know, the last couple of kiddos who declared those words didn't end up so well. I'd reconsider if I were you."
"You're doing all you can to make me mad, aren't you…!?"
"Sweetheart, you're doing that just fine by yourself."
"You fuc—"
"Has the party already started without us??"
A loud, manly voice boomed out, breaking the tension between Cassius and Kaida. It belonged to a caped man dressed in royal attire—a World-Class Hunter—The Kingly Meister—Ranked 4 on the Hunter Rankings.
Descending behind him were dozens of S-Rank Hunters from Indonesia, which was where the Kingly Meister originated.
FWIP! FWIP!
Leaving supersonic flight speed were other World-Class Hunters.
Macro Mommy, the Gentlemanly Saint, the Bladedevil, and the Bottlemonger.
The rest of the World-Class Hunters appeared not even a second later, bringing with them whole swathes of S-Rank Hunters.
Even the World-Class Hunter Ranked #5 in the World—the Dragon Slayer—was here.
He levitated in the same airspace as upwards of 300 S-Rank Hunters, which accounted for nearly every single S-Rank Hunter in the world!
When Kaida saw the famed Dragon Slayer out of the corner of her eye, her ferocity increased to a level that far exceeded what she exhibited with Cassius. This man—this hateful, inexcusable man—was the whole reason she even decided to participate in this stupid Gate Raid.
And more than anything, what she so badly wanted to do right now was slug him right across his Asian face!
