Light Zone

"What?" the chairman asked, confused as to where all this was going and exactly what he meant. 

He had heard about auxiliary magic tools but never had he heard about one such as this. Hell he had yet to even hear about a research lab that has created a hologram talk more a magic tool that does so. 

"Okay just watch, Trainor!" Steve shouted 

The Chairman watched on as he noticed the holographic version of Steve suddenly moved a bit as though life had been breathed into it. 

"Scenario 1, subdue opponent" He heard Steve call out as the man himself got into a stance opposite the hologram. 

As soon as Steve shouted that, he immediately went in for a punch but the hologram effortlessly caught his hand before throwing him over it's shoulder. 

"Fuck, I designed you too well, do it again" Steve shouted, 

With the command, Steve got into a stance again, his lack of combat experience could be seen clearly but He was more focused on the hologram standing opposite the man. 

Gunhee had seen martial arts masters before and they all had auras that suggested so. There was the sublime aura they had that suggested that they were one with the world around them but even beneath that, you could also sense the might they held. 

However, looking at the hologram before Steve, things were different. It was looking at a master who had completely mastered their martial way. It was perfectly one with the world. 

Gunhee watched as Steve launched the first attack only to be easily deflected again and again. 

"Okay that's enough" Steve said as he stood up from the ground while holding on to his waist. 

"You created that?"

"Yeah, it currently can't display power beyond low level E-rank though due to the mana stone used but if I can get an S-ranked mana stone, I think it can beat even you" Steve said with a massive smile forgetting the pain he had just endured. 

"I see, you have really outdone yourself here but we'll see, as per our contract, we will be buying it but I want a presentation here at the association" the Chairman said as Steve smiled 

"I knew it… Oh! And I also have another one to show you but it will be impossible for now, I think it will save the lives of many hunters in the future" 

"Then bring it along for the presentation, when would that be possible for you"

"How about one month, both are still prototypes, I need to iron out some problems first" Steve answered 

"See you then" The man replied before the call was cut. 

Seeing that the connection was cut, Steve immediately began to jump around in joy. He was going to be a lot richer now and besides he could use the demonstration as a launch for his company. 

"Booyah!!" he screamed in joy as he mistakenly entered the Zone again. 

As soon as he did so, the hologram launched itself at him as it immediately subdued him. 

"Stop!!" Steve screamed. 

He had yet to master magical programming
