A/N: Give Power Stones to keep Vergil motivated!

The anticipation was building in Azaroth's veins like liquid fire.
He turned to his uncle beside him.
"How much longer till we arrive, Uncle?"
"Just a few minutes more," came the reply.
"Pfft..! Wow, So much unemployment." Azaroth waved a hand and the limo's televisions flickered to life, flashing images that drew an arrogant chuckle from his lips.
The Korean news channels were in a frenzy, cameras panning over a sea of people flooding the streets around Hunter HQ.
<Korean news....< strong>
News Reporter Chairin: "Hi I'm Chairin Seok from Seol News, and we are here in front of the Hunter Association! There are a lot of people gathered here! Let's talk to some of them~"
Chairin: "Hey, Guys! Why are we all gathered here?"
Person 1: "Is this going to be broadcast?"
Chairin nodded in irritation,
Person 1: "Hey Guys! We are here to see the rank of our Azaroth..."
Person 2: "Hey mom! If you're watching this—"
Cute Girl 1: "Kyaa~ I can't wait to see Azaroth Oppa!"
Person 3: "Hell yeah!! his video was fucking awesome!"
Cute Girl 2: "And, and, He looks like a prince from a fantasy novel!"
Person 4: "Hi, Girls! My Instagram ID is milk_drinker_69, please follow—"
Cute Girl 3: "I heard he is the same as my age, I've spent a ton of money on my looks, I hope he falls in love with me! Kya!"

Their excited chattering centered around one topic - the Rank Evaluation of Azaroth Morningstar.
He liked it very much.
"Oh, Azy, she hopes you'll fall in love~ Haha," His Grandpa said.
"I hope not." He switched to an International news station with a flick of his wrist.
They were covering the event too, commentators speculating what unheard of feats the prodigy would showcase...
< International News....
Reporter Vicky: "Hi, the name is Vicky Shaw and we are here live, covering the Rank evaluation of the previous controversial troublemaker, the abandoned son of Lucas Morningstar, and the prince of Korea, Yes, none other than, Azaroth Morningstar!"
(She'll speak in Korean with the crowd and the international viewers will get the translated version with subtitles.)
Vicky to Person 1: "So, What are your views on Azaroth? What do you guys think his rank will be?!"
Person 1: "Oh wow! I'll come on international news! Hi Alexandra Daddario! I love you so muc—"
Vicky changed to Person 2: "Views on Azaroth!"
Person 2: "Ah! A.. Azaroth is very cool, I think he'll be an A-Rank."
Vicky: "Wow! An A Rank! But what about his past behaviors? Does anyone have comments? Yes!"
Hot Woman: "We don't care about past rumors! He saved my daughter's life in the Mall! He is a hero!"
The same small girl from the Mall: "Yeah! Azaroth Oppa is a hero! He was supeeeer Coool!"
Vicky: "It looks like everyone has high hopes for the prince! But Lucas Morningstar has yet to comment on this topic! Not even a tweet—"
...>
Azaroth turned off the TV.
It seemed the whole world awaited his coronation as the latest young prince to reshape the Hunter industry.
Azaroth grinned.
...
The Association gates loomed into view, throngs packed outside straining for a glimpse within.
"Give way to Master's car!"The procession rolled to a stop, "This way sir!" armored guards formed a path through the frenzied onlookers.
First emerged the venerable figures of Choi Jong-in and his father, eliciting roars of respect from the crowd. These legends needed no introduction.
Next, as doors swept open, the crowd held its breath as polished Oxford shone upon the pavement.
"Haah, Finally~" Azaroth emerged in all his glory, moonlight dancing across sculpted features and blood-red locks.
"Woo! Our savior is here!"
"The judge of the Chair in flesh!"
"Marry me Oppa!"
"You look hot! please go on a date with me!"
"Please! I wanna have your babies!"
Pandemonium erupted. Fans screamed his name as if gods walked among mortals.
They didn't even know his rank, yet they were treating him like a celeb— wait, he is a fucking celebrity!
Azaroth drank it in the cheering and showed a gentle smile to the ladies,
He spotted the young girl from the Mall and waved at her,
'Fucking cock suckers'
He thought while waving and maintaining his gentle smile.
He walked with refined steps towards the Association gate.
Top brass like GMs of White Tiger, Fame Guild, and Knights Guild were present, Master Baek was there to apologize to Choi Jong about the mall incident others were eager to make his acquaintance so that in the future, he could help them.
He respectfully shook hands with everyone and chatted,
Woo Jinchul came out of the building and greeted Azaroth, "Ah! Azaroth—"
Senior Choi gave him a cold look for a split second.
"Ah, I.. mean, Mr. Azaroth, glad to see you here, shall we go for your evaluation?" Jinchul said and quickly greeted Senior Choi with a polite bow.
"Ehm* the pleasure is mine, Mr. Woo, please lead the way," Azaroth said and looked at his Grandpa with a look that said 'Was that necessary?'
His Grandpa just shrugged with a smug look that said 'Heh, he should know his place'.
Jinchul adjusted his tie and gestured, "Yes, please follow me."
Azaroth followed Jinchul with Choi Jong-in and Senior Choi behind him.
Chairman Go Gunhee stood up as Azaroth with his uncle and grandpa entered the room, showing his deep respect.
Gunhee turned to Senior Choi and Choi Jong-In, bowing slightly. "Guild Master Choi, Senior Choi, it's always a pleasure to have distinguished guests. Your presence adds prestige to this occasion."
Gunhee is still one of the strongest S-Rankers in Korea, but he is a humble, open, and honest individual who is very appreciative of those who make Korea look strong and help the people of the nation from the enemies of Gates as well as the enemies of the world.

Senior Choi nodded with authority, "Hmm. Thank you for having us, Chairman Go Gunhee. We're here to witness the potential of my grandson."
Choi Jong-In added with a grin, "Indeed, Chairman. What do you think?"
Go Gunhee turned to the young beacon of Hope for Korea with a smile "Haha, what a fine man. Welcome, Mr. Azaroth. It's an honor to have you here for your Rank Evaluation."
Azaroth nodded graciously, "The honor is mine, Chairman"
Chairman Go Gunhee continued, "Mr Azaroth, your courage in the recent incident at the mall has not gone unnoticed.
The Association commends your bravery and quick thinking. We value individuals of strong character, and we're eager to see how your skills align with your reputation."
Hmm, that's a lot of ass licking...
Azaroth responded with humility, "Thank you, Chairman. I believe in using my abilities for the greater good."
Choi Jong-In nodded in agreement, "Indeed, he's my nephew—ehm*— a promising young man, and we have high hopes for his future contributions to the Hunter community."
"Let's proceed with the evaluation, then."
....
The scene shifts...
California, US
The penthouse suite of the towering California skyscraper exuded opulence, but it was also imbued with a sense of intimidation.
"Hmm..." The man behind the grand desk radiated authority, His long white hair tied in a bun, his cold blue eyes reminiscent of Azaroth's piercing gaze fixed on the news displayed on a massive screen.
(A/N: He looks something like this with blue eyes and white hair.)
As if on cue, the door opened and Rose entered, her every movement exuding efficiency. With a graceful poise, she approached the man who trusted her as his secretary. But even her composed demeanor couldn't match the intimidating aura of the room.
The man continued to watch the news as Rose drew near. Without breaking his gaze from the screen, he spoke in a deep, resonant voice. "Rose, what's the report? What did he say when you contacted him?"
"Sir," Rose began, struggling to keep her voice steady. "Sera contacted him and told him she was my secretary. He called her a dog and hung up— Heok!"
*Dub*
She tried to explain but suddenly a large pressure surrounded the room. "Ack! M.. mr.. "She clenched her throat unable to breathe.
"I specifically told you to make that call," The man's tone lowered dangerously. "So why the hell did you not do it yourself?" The weight of his words hung heavy in the air as Rose started sweating bullets.
"M.. Mr. Morningstar, P..please, I.. I apologize, p..please, I.. I can't breathe." She pleaded.
