“Uh, are you trying to cause a commotion within the academy? Quickly reap your magic”

“Yes. Sorry.”

Team leader Kim Seong-ju gently reprimanded Lee Young-han, who was boosting his magic power with his right hand.

And then he speaks to Jihoon again.

“I hope you cooperate when I say nice things. Neither I nor the students want to cause trouble here”

“I don’t mind? The guys are in trouble, what do I care”

Ppajik

Kim Seong-ju, who felt uncomfortable seeing Ji-hoon shrugging his shoulders and spitting out words, becomes harsh again.

“This guy really can’t communicate”

***

Kim Seong-ju, head of Ares Guild’s human resources team.

Although he was a C-class hunter, he was a veteran hunter who participated in several gate subjugations as a combatant for 7 years in the large guild Ares.

Having crossed the line between life and death several times while dealing with various demonic beasts, he was a major combat force of the Ares Guild.

However, as time passed and junior B-level hunters became more active, his position became unclear, so he applied to the human resources department on his own.

It was a strategic choice to use his background as an academy graduate to solidify his position within the guild.

Of course, from the Ares Guild executives’ perspective, this was something they welcomed with open hands.

Academy graduates would be suitable for recruiting talent in many ways, including personal connections.

Recruiting at least one more B-level or higher hunter was the fastest way for the guild to grow.

Accordingly, when team leader Kim Seong-ju began recruiting talent at the academy, he did not pay any attention to cadets below class 5.

Compared to when he first joined the guild seven years ago, the current Ares Guild has grown into a much larger guild.

I knew that the executives would not want to take a hunter with lower abilities than themselves.

He was confident that his perspective on people, or rather hunters, had improved greatly while working as the head of the human resources team.

Even without sparring or gate subjugation, he was able to understand the hunter’s abilities to some extent just by looking at the appearance, atmosphere, and the magical energy leaking out.

This morning, he received instructions from Director Do Woon-hyuk, one of the most influential figures in the guild.

The plan was to bring Kang Ji-hoon, an E-level hunter from class 11, from the academy.

At first, I was wondering why they were asking me to bring in an E-class hunter, but after receiving Do Woon-hyuk’s personal message, I was soon able to understand the situation.

Director Do Woon-hyuk wanted to use the power of the guild to avenge his personal grudge.

Accordingly, he must have secretly given instructions to himself, who was the most knowledgeable at the academy within the guild.

Kim Seong-ju considered Director Do Woon-hyuk’s personal instructions, which were requests outside of work, as an opportunity.

Is there anything wrong with being seen well by Director Do Woon-hyuk, the guild’s powerful figure?

Also, taking an E-class hunter and punishing him was not difficult at all, although it was annoying.

However, to make sure the work was done, he took his subordinate Hunter Lee Young-han with him to the academy.

“This guy?”

Jihoon looked at Kim Seongju and repeated his words.

“Yeah, you idiot. Why are you so incomprehensible? Let’s go happily”

Kim Seong-ju was confident that even if she did not have the information about Kang Ji-hoon, class 11 and E, that she had received in advance, she would have figured out about him right away.

This guy I’m facing now, Kang Ji-hoon.

A faint magical energy flowing from him.

Careless and off-topic speech and actions.

Even the appearance of not noticing his own magical energy that was subtly warning him.

Right now, Lee Ja-shik was literally the bottom of the bottom of the bottom.

I heard that Director Do Woon-hyeok’s son was still in class 10, but I couldn’t understand why he was beaten up like that by such a bastard.

“Old men. Well…I understand you guys are working. I guess I’m doing this because my superiors told me to.”

Questions appear on the faces of Kim Seong-ju and Lee Young-han.

What is this guy trying to say now?

“We are all doing this to make a living, so I completely understand the hardships… But…”

Ji-hoon, who paused for a moment, looks straight into Kim Seong-ju’s eyes.

“It’s unforgivable to be this rude when you first meet, right?”

“What?”

“There are people who will be sad if they find out that I am being treated like this.”

Kim Seong-ju was dumbfounded and burst into laughter upon hearing Ji-hoon’s words.

“I shouldn’t say it in nice words.”

As Kim Seong-ju’s words fell, Lee Young-han, who was next to him, summoned magic power into his right hand again.

“Ugh!! Wait a minute… Everyone, please calm down…”

Han So-jeong, who was watching the situation from the side, quickly intervened, fearing that Ji-hoon’s safety might be in danger.

“Do not intervene, move aside”

Jihoon’s cold words hit Sojeong’s ears.

Sojung feels that the atmosphere coming from him is unusual.

Sojung, who followed Jihoon around for several days, eating and talking with him, thought that Jihoon was a light-hearted and quite pleasant person.

Although he did not grant my request, he never harshly kicked me out when I squeezed in to eat with him.

Also, although we did not spend a long time together, I naturally knew that he was a compassionate and warm person.

This is because I saw him being polite to waiters at a restaurant or lovingly petting a stray dog in the neighborhood.

But now.

Sojung couldn’t help but be shocked by the completely different side that Jihoon showed.

The atmosphere coming from him was so scary that it took my breath away, even though the target was not him.

Although Sojung was a high-level hunter of class 2, she couldn’t even try to stop Jihoon or interfere with him.

Sojeong caught a glimpse of Jihoon and had no choice but to close her mouth and step aside as he said.

“Hahaha, Han So-jeong Hunter, I’m sorry for showing you an unsightly side. This friend seems a little lacking, so wait a moment-”

When Jihoon’s palm touches the back of Kim Seongju’s head while he was spitting out words, his head falls to the floor in an instant.

Ji-hoon beat C-rank hunter Kim Seong-ju with pure body movement without using any internal energy or magic power.

For a moment, Kim Seong-ju felt intense pain as his vision darkened.

“Ugh…ugh”

“Mister… weren’t you talking to me? Are you relaxed enough to look away?”

“You… you bastard…”

Lee Young-han, who was surprised to see Ji-hoon’s quick movements, punched Ji-hoon with his right fist with increased magical power.

terrestrial

Ji-hoon’s left hand unfolds and catches Lee Young-han’s fist.

“This guy is your boss, right? Looking at what the team leader said…”

“Ugh..Aaaaa!!”

When Ji-hoon applies strength to the hand holding Lee Young-han’s fist, his fist becomes distorted, causing tremendous pain.

Seongju Kim raises his head from the floor and looks forward.

You can see your subordinate screaming in pain while being held by the guy.

“I think you both got the wrong bosses?”

Ji-hoon slaps Young-han, who is suffering from being held by him, in the face.

With one hand held, his head turns to the left.

And soon, once to the right, then to the left again…

Lee Young-han was held by Ji-hoon’s hand and continued to be slapped, causing his head to turn and soon he fell to his knees.

Jihoon was just continuing to hit him just enough to feel the pain without fainting.

Kim Seong-ju, looking at that scene, immediately brings up all the magic he has.

“You…you crazy bastard!”

Ji-hoon lets go of Young-han’s hand that was hitting him.

He is not knocked out, but he is so beaten that he falls limp on the floor in a state of exhaustion.

Kim Seong-ju, who confirmed that Young-han was released from Ji-hoon’s hands, immediately begins to use his increased magical power to display his skills.

This was the academy, and since it was the entrance to the building with the main auditorium, there were quite a few passing cadets looking around, but Seongju Kim had no time to think about such things.

Due to Ji-hoon’s quick movements, he was hit in the back of the head without even using his hand, and Lee Young-han, who came with him, fell to the floor and groaned after being hit.

I had to use my skills to deal with that guy.

But now.

Ji-hoon disappears from Kim Seong-ju’s sight.

Did he blink once?

Jihoon suddenly appears before his eyes.

“Who is waiting for you to use your skills?”

Ji-hoon’s fist, which contains only a little of his inner power, lands on the chin of Kim Seong-ju, who was raising his magic power.

Red blood and white pieces of teeth flow out of the fallen Kim Seong-ju’s mouth, just like the ones that came out of Do Young-hwan’s mouth earlier.

Ji-hoon, who laid the two down in an instant, did as he said and spoke to So-jung, who was standing aside and watching.

“Sojeong, watch these guys for a moment… I’ll go in and bring that friend with you”

Sojung sees that Jihoon’s face has returned to its original playfulness and brightness.

Sojung felt somehow reassured.

‘Yes, a bright face like that suits you well… I was so scared earlier. Oh, but who are you bringing? why?’

So-jung watches Ji-hoon running into the auditorium building.

For some reason, she couldn’t refuse an order that wasn’t Jihoon’s order to watch the fallen men, so she stayed where she was.
