Luke planned to start with himself, step by step, to gradually correct the unhealthy, abnormal, and distorted ideas that professional hunters in the association had about the Chairman and Vice-Chairman.
This credential for Special Investigator of the International Court was a manifestation of that.
It was also specially applied for by the House Robot on Luke's behalf.
Hunter regulations meant nothing to the House Robot; it simply recorded everything.
Then it selected entries favorable to Luke and implemented them.
This was why, as soon as Luke boarded the special airship designed for the Vice-Chairman, the credentials for being the Special Investigator of the International Court were freshly prepared.
As for the legality of the credential's procedures, there was absolutely no problem before Luke's exclusive airship landed.
He could use it immediately upon arrival.
The House Robot focused on service and efficiency.
Even the airship itself, mobilized using the Vice-Chairman's authority, was acquired through proper channels.
If you have the authority, then use it.
Since such conditions and rights existed, they should be exercised well.
"If we have such a credential, our work will proceed much more smoothly."
Mizaistom Nana's expression relaxed considerably.
If he were just in his original capacity as a legal advisor, no matter how you put it, as a civilian, compared to a national official, he would inevitably be at a disadvantage.
Furthermore, the government departments would not provide much cooperation.
But with the Special Investigator's identity, no matter how reluctant the other party was, they were required to receive and process any objections according to procedure.
This was the essential difference between official authority and civilian status.
"If you find this useful and convenient..."
Luke glanced at Mizaistom Nana, whose expression had softened, and said directly: "After this case is over, I'll let you use this credential."
"Hmm?!"
Mizaistom Nana was startled, then immediately shook his head: "This credential can only be applied for at the Vice-Chairman or Chairman level. I'm merely a high-level hunter. I don't have the authority to use such a credential..."
"I said you have it, so you have it."
Luke waved his hand, cutting him off: "The Hunter Association regulations include provisions for this. The credential can be entrusted to an appropriate person."
"I'll handle the procedures with the association and V5. You don't need to worry; I guarantee it's fully compliant."
"And..."
Luke smiled at Mizaistom Nana: "You know, I'm not a professional legal expert. If the personnel involved in this case weren't from Meteor City, I wouldn't have intervened."
"In my view, such a good credential, if left unused, would be a waste.
"Rather than letting it sit idle, it's better to give it to someone who can fully utilize it, someone who's suitable."
"I think you're the perfect applicant."
Luke patted Mizaistom Nana on the shoulder: "With this credential in your hands, it will achieve its maximum potential."
"I believe you're the most suitable person for it."
"Moreover, you often fight for those who are wronged and seek justice for them."
"With this credential, your work will become much easier."
"Perhaps some people who were wrongfully accused will have their injustices cleared within the jurisdiction of this credential."
"This is not just for making our work easier, it's for those desperate victims of suffering and wrongful persecution."
For... those wrongfully accused victims...
Luke's words left Mizaistom Nana in silence.
He couldn't help but recall the many cases he had handled over the years.
Indeed, many of them seemed off, with issues in the case details.
But whenever he raised objections, his civilian legal advisor status was always rejected or blocked.
It was difficult for him to investigate and understand the case further.
Even after joining the Hunter Association and becoming a Single-Star Crime Hunter due to his merits, allowing him more privileges than before, it was still difficult to work with some uncooperative nations.
Ultimately, many cases he suspected of having issues were simply closed.
Some of the criminals may have confessed due to certain circumstances, or perhaps the victims truly suffered injustice.
But in any case...
"Justice shouldn't be like this."
Mizaistom Nana said softly: "If I couldn't correct a wrongful case at the time, and an innocent person suffered unjustly..."
"Then even if justice is later restored, what use is it?"
"Justice delayed is not justice."
Mizaistom Nana was a person with a very strong sense of justice.
This was even stronger than the straightforward and honest Botobai within the association.
Otherwise, the conscience of the Zodiac Twelve would not have fallen on him.
So Luke deliberately did not mention other aspects.
He focused solely on helping others achieve justice and clear wrongful accusations, hitting exactly the part of Mizaistom Nana's heart he held steadfast.
After carefully thinking and pondering, "To better carry out work, and help more people in need..."
Mizaistom Nana's eyes were unwaveringly firm as he decisively took the work credential Luke handed him.
"I need more authority and power!!"
Mizaistom Nana said solemnly while holding the credential with a sense of gravity.
If others asked for authority and power with a righteous air, it might seem like an excuse.
But in Mizaistom Nana's case, it was genuine.
Luke naturally understood this: "Then I look forward to more good news from your side."
Luke smiled, encouraging him.
"Definitely."
Mizaistom Nana nodded firmly: "Starting with this case!!"
Previously, he had noticed many irregularities in this case and wanted to intervene, but was repeatedly blocked, leaving him frustrated.
This time, with the Special Investigator of the International Court credential in hand, he wanted to see who could stop him!!
He would use this opportunity to vent his grievances!!
Mizaistom Nana caressed the credential in his hand, knowing where his authority and confidence came from.
He couldn't help but glance at Luke a few more times.
Yes, if it were Chairman Netero, he would never have gotten involved in such matters.
The association's professional hunters would act independently without interference, receiving no assistance either, relying solely on their initiative.
At most, they might lend a hand when trouble arose or aid was requested.
That would be it.
But for someone providing more external support to make work smoother and more efficient... It seemed only Luke could do that.
He genuinely supported and aided the hunters, allowing them to work more comfortably and efficiently.
From this alone, Mizaistom Nana felt the experience was far better than before.
At the very least, he could never have held such an investigation credential normally.
