“Arin, are you still sleeping?”

Su-ah, who returned from her part-time job at a convenience store, untied her hair and woke Arin up.

Because Su-ah had only vaguely heard that something had happened with the association employees after dealing with the department store gate collapse incident.

I didn’t know exactly what happened, but I just felt sorry for Arin, who couldn’t seem to get any energy after what happened.

“Hmm, they say the more you sleep, the better you get. I guess it’s because I don’t have any work.”

When there was no work for the association, I often went to the hunter site and worked with private engineering schools.

However, now is the time when guilds are receiving bids for even low-level gates to train newly selected hunters, so most of the private engineering schools are taking a break due to lack of work.

Even for them, it was inevitable that there would be no work, and it was even more inevitable for Arin’s engineering school, who was stuck among them and barely making a living, to have no work.

“Chae-yoon and Na-hyeon said they came to buy groceries.”

“I need to do some work too.”

Because they had to do other things in addition to being a hunter to make a living.

Everyone was doing one thing at a time, like Su-ah working part-time at a convenience store.

Among them, Arin was working as a freelancer, outsourcing design work, and was earning the most money out of all of them.

“It’s peak season every day for this job, but for some reason it’s always the off-season for the hunter job.”

Arin had not yet escaped the trauma, but she thought she would have to experience a lot to overcome it.

Of course, since I couldn’t use skills, I was always in a porter position.

Nevertheless, she thought that her mindset was different between days when she entered the gate directly and days when she did not, so she was constantly experiencing the gate, even as a porter.

“It would be great if we also had a guild to belong to.”

Su-ah smiled awkwardly, looking at Arin, who was depressed.

“That’s right.”

Arin also smiled along with Su-ah, but it was a very bitter laugh.

‘It would be nice if I could at least be recognized for my work, even if it wasn’t a guild.’

However, the reality was that engineering teams made up of low-level hunters who could not achieve even a single performance were treated as half-baked.

Even the association says it’s for the safety of hunters, but when you look at it, it’s just that they don’t want to deal with the hassle.

‘I’m so sick of it.’

All of these things were slowly making Arin, who seemed infinitely bright, feel tired.

I feel like this situation, which is not getting better, is telling me that I don’t have any talent as a hunter.

For a while, I tried to cover my ears and force myself to smile, but I couldn’t help but think that it was time to slowly accept reality.

“You know, Suya.”

“Huh? Why, sister?”

“We have to stop now..”

smart-

That was when I was about to say that I think it’s time to stop gathering together and saying that we will save people and work hard as hunters with a sense of duty.

Arin’s words were cut off by someone’s knock.

“Oh, wait a minute, sister. I’ll go out. Who are you~”

While Su-ah went out to check who the visitor was, Arin just sighed.

‘..They don’t even let me finish it the way I want to.’

I just found the whole situation frustrating.

It felt like I was being chased by something.

When I look back, there is clearly nothing.

“Should I go back to college?”

Arin, who majored in design, was currently on leave from university.

I took a leave of absence from school when I became a hunter, and it’s already been almost a year since I made that choice.

‘If you have a college degree, you will be able to get a more proper job in the design field… or receive a lot of quality outsourcing even if you outsource it.’

If I wasn’t going to become a hunter anyway, it was important to sort things out and find a way to make a living.

Of course, I still wanted to be a hunter, a person with power, someone who could save people and be helpful to the world.

“Is that what I want?”

When you are saying words of resignation.

“Uh, that sister. They say they came from the guild.”

Sua, who had gone to check on the visitor, walked back in with an awkward pose and said.

“They say they want to sign a contract with all of our engineering students?”

It couldn’t have been something that made no sense and was quite absurd.

From referring to them as engineering schools when they were not even recognized as engineering schools in the first place, to wanting to sign a contract with all of them.

It was just words that didn’t make any sense.

“Who’s not kidding?”

“No, it’s a new guild. I also had a guild registration certificate.”

I definitely told you to check and not open the door if someone you don’t know comes to visit.

It seemed like he had already gone out, had a conversation, and even looked at the documents.

Arin thought about saying something, but decided that confirmation was the priority, so she got up and put on some clothes.

“How did you come to know about our engineering school? We are not even officially registered as an engineering school.”

What Arin saw when she said those words and walked out the door.

“Ah, Seo A-rin Hunter. hello. My name is Geonwoo Kim, the guild master of the Fairy Guild.”

It was Director Kim Geon-woo, who seemed to be 190 cm tall and extremely tall.

***

A few hours before Geon-woo went to visit Arin and her engineering school.

“Director Kim Geon-woo. No, should I call him Master Kim Geon-woo now?”

Geon-woo quit his job and became the guild master of a newly formed guild.

“I didn’t know I would become a guild master. This is what you said you were trying to compete with the chairman.”

“Yes, I will handle the actual operation, but you can say that Director Kim handles all external matters.”

Before going to Chairman Kang Seok-ho’s birthday party, Geon-woo had never imagined that what he said he would do to see the match would be to create a guild.

Of course, he never imagined that he would be given the position of master of the guild created in that way.

Indeed, today was a series of extraordinary events.

After suddenly being offered the guild master position, it took only two hours for me to quickly quit the company and register as the guild master.

“I had no idea guilds were created so quickly.”

“Yes, I didn’t know that, but when I heard that Sogang Group was sponsoring it, it was created in an instant.”

The process of creating a guild was quite complicated, but the reality these days was that such a process could be omitted by spending a certain amount of money or using personal connections.

“Anyway, the guild has been created, so it’s time to go recruit, Director Kim… no, Master Kim.”

“..Master Kim doesn’t have a good tone.”

“Um, then Master Geonwoo..? It’s a bit long so it’s hard to sing.”

“You can just call me Mr. Geonwoo or Geonwooya.”

Seojun had only been called Chief Kim until now, so he slightly furrowed his eyebrows at the sudden change in title.

“Well, it’s all awkward one way or another.”

“It is okay to call me Chief Kim until you come up with a more convenient title.”

“Good. Then, I will continue to be Chief Kim.”

Once the title was decided, it was back to the main topic.

“So, I would like Director Kim to go in person and conclude a contract with them. After all, there is nothing that can give you more trust than when the master goes there in person.”

We’ve already hired all of the guild’s employees, so we could have sent others if the circumstances arose.

Considering that the new guild that had just been created would be recruiting them under considerable conditions, no matter how much I thought about it, it was right for the guild master to go directly.

“But I wonder if it will be okay for me to go..”

Geon-wu was not good at speaking.

Even in conversations with Seojun, he was often silent and was said to be frustrated.

As such, it meant that he did not have the gift of language to explain the terms and conditions of the contract well and to explain them in a way that they could understand.

“It’s okay. Wear this and connect.”

What Seojun gave to Geonwoo were ordinary wireless earphones.

“I do the talking. Director Kim just needs to read along.”

From the beginning, Seo-jun also knew better than anyone else that Geon-wu was not good at speaking, so he never even thought about leaving everything to him from the beginning.

“Oh, if that’s the case, I’m relieved.”

Translating someone else’s words as if they were your own words required considerable acting skills.

It was rather easy for Geon-wu because he had a blunt way of speaking and did not speak in a pitch-like manner to begin with.

Even if you say it yourself or follow what someone else says.

It was also a strategy that made good use of the insensitive tone of voice that sounded the same in one way or another.

“First of all, this is a contract, so please be familiar with the contents to some extent.”

In any case, since he was going to recruit someone in the name of guild master, the author of this contract was expected to be Geon-woo.

If you did not know the contents of the contract you wrote, it would be a cause for suspicion.

“Yes, I understand.”

Of course, Geon-wu was quite intelligent, and Seo-jun was not particularly worried about memorizing things.

“And I created a bank account in the name of the guild master. In the future, support funds will be transferred to this account, and the amount currently entered can be paid as a down payment for Seo A-rin and others.”

The down payment was 10 million won for each couple, which would be enough to cover immediate livelihood issues.

I wanted to set a larger amount, but I thought asking for a deposit larger than this would arouse suspicion, so I settled on a reasonable amount.

“The address of the guild building is here. The master room is on the top floor..”

From then on, he gave detailed explanations of things that Geon-woo should be aware of.

Even though it was a situation where I had to memorize even simple things that seemed insignificant in a short period of time.

“Yes, I understood everything.”

“I really like this. Then please help me out.”

“I have something to do.”

After nodding, Geon-woo left the office and was heading towards Arin’s engineering school.

Going to meet the people chosen by the person he was most loyal to was quite nerve-wracking even for him, who is usually not nervous.

Of course, nothing was revealed in that indifferent facial expression.
