41.

A few hours later.

The lowest level of the Hunter Association.

“Ah, I’m getting more nervous.”

“Me too.”

“Everyone… …Please have some coffee.”

Baek Min-ho accepted the coffee somewhat awkwardly.

“Oh my, thank you. Your heart is so beautiful, and the coffee tastes good too.”

“Oops.”

“, thank you.”

Upper floor of the practical test room.

Baek Min-ho, who was in charge of the practical examination, leaned against the outside railing.

Lighting coming from below.

Artificial structures enhanced the exterior view.

“The coffee is sweet. Hmm. Is this the taste of money?”

He took a sip of his mixed coffee and watched the situation.

Lee Ok-bun and Min Jung-wi were spending time talking cynically.

I received a request from both sides – Kang Mi-young and Kang Jin-young – to take good care of them. It’s something I can’t do lightly.

The rest are similar.

They were chatting away while wearing neat uniforms. No need to worry. It’s everyday life here.

I thought it would be okay if they were overseas buyers and guild personnel.

“Oh my, hello. Yes, yes.”

Baek Min-ho greeted several people with his thick skin.

“This is the head of the Cha Ji-seon department. I came from the special R&D department of the Gangcheon Group.”

Baek Min-ho’s expression hardens.

The person concerned this time is a woman.

Where did you belong?

Gangcheon. Yes, it was Gangcheon.

There was no special reason why Baek Min-ho was surprised.

The person in charge was so young. When I first saw him, I thought he had brought his child. The more I listened to his conversation, the more my mind hardened.

‘Non-awakened. Are you an executive?’

River.

A leading conglomerate that has never lost its place as number one in the Korean business world.

Companies also hire hunters and run guilds. It’s natural for them to be in this position. They were new powerhouses that were growing rapidly, although their name value was lower than that of the big four guilds.

‘If it’s the goal… … If it’s a hundred, … if it’s a thousand, it’s a thousand. Is that the friend?’

Reasonable.

It would be right to aim for him.

Shake hands lightly.

“Where are you from?”

Cha Ji-seon asks.

The voice is cold.

He was smaller than me, a small child. However, his intimidating and demeanor were like those of an old man of several decades.

A cold and indifferent expression.

Baek Min-ho was pushed back little by little.

“Ah, this is therapist Baek Min-ho. I am a military cooperation officer and I am in charge of reviewing the actual test. ”

“I won’t be judging alone.”

“That’s right. This is the people’s committee that came with me.”

Minjungwi, who was eating a snack, suddenly ran forward. He is the person in charge of the examination, so it is good to get to know his face in advance.

“Okay, thank you!!”

The voice was cheerful, but the whole body trembled like an aspen tree as if nervous.

Baek Min-ho pointed to the next person.

This time, it’s Kang Jin-young’s line.

“Oh, the person with orange hair here is Ok-bun Lee from Bureau 10 of the National Intelligence Service. She is in charge of on-site management related to the review.”

“Please take care of me… … … .”

Lee Ok-bun looked gloomy. Very gloomy. As if she wasn’t the person expected.

Bow.

Go back to your seat again.

The general statement is something like this.

Baek Min-ho took the lead in maintaining his dignity as an elder.

“By the way, the Gangcheon side is surprising. It will be saved on its own without having to find a separate talent. Is it such a big deal that the Gangcheon Group needs to take action?”

“Yes.”

A short answer came back.

“If you need personnel information, there are places like the Military Counterintelligence Service and the Military Manpower Administration, right?”

“Seongpung and Hyunjin are advancing in the field of magic stones. They say that they have a certain degree of monopoly gate. We also need talent.”

“Aha.”

“According to insider information… …the talent that is appearing this time has solved a big case.”

The wind.

Hyunjin.

They are perennial runners-up, aiming for the top spot in Gangcheon.

The people behind him grumbled and left their seats. It must be awkward for them to aim for first place.

“Oh, I see. I know that guy too.”

“Do you have a separate sponsor? Or is it contract-related?”

“There is no such thing.”

The river is moving.

I’m going crazy.

Well, if it’s a company of that size, it’s impossible to stop it.

No matter how talented you are, the reality is that you will be taken advantage of by smart and rich people.

Those authors are the ones with the most bullets.

There are three things that are most frightening in the original gambling world.

1. An uncontrollable crazy guy.

2. A smart guy with lots of bullets.

3. A murderous bastard.

And. There are more guys here.

‘The plate is squeezed.

If you fight Kangcheon, you will face these three at the same time.

Baek Min-ho laughed bitterly. This is a failure. This time, he has no choice but to give up. He is a person who can communicate well.

Touching the river? Even if three generations are wiped out, on the Internet, people will just say, “Oh, I’ve come.” ”

Ugh, Amy. After this, I have to go to Mojito and have some Maldives.

After finishing a few conversations, Baek Min-ho quickly left the place.

“······I haven’t caught it yet.”

Cha Ji-seon chewed over the conversation.

Turn your gaze to the scoreboard.

Personal information and documents of various people were quickly flipped through.

About 5 seconds.

Although it was a short story, Cha Ji-seon’s eyes lit up. There were a few turns.

…

…

…

Right now!

“Stop.”

“Okay.”

The conductor stopped the scoreboard.

An uncommon male hunter. Although it is still classified, there is rumor going around that he has obtained EX-level characteristics and has even achieved dual awakening.

[Lee Seong-han, F-class hunter]

The name she revealed in front of the audience.

“Unnies, huh. You didn’t just touch me. You can’t control me or something.”

Cha Ji-seon smiled brightly while looking at the photo.

***

-Yes, yes, everyone, please take your seats. You are the first examinees on the second day. Congratulations. Wow.

Lee Ok-bun clapped her hands quietly on the iron platform. Her expressionless face stood out.

No, it’s like this place is annoying.

The place she was was an artificial cave underground of the Hunter Association.

Below the stage, the broadcasting station’s press corps had unpacked their luggage, and in front of the stage, there was a row of white plastic chairs that looked like those you’d find at a convenience store.

It was a friendly atmosphere like a high school festival – or in other words, dog-like!

Lee Seong-han quietly cried.

“Wow… … .”

“It’s bleak, right?”

“Yes.”

I know, too. My eyes aren’t like yours. ─ Kang Jin-young said with his arms crossed.

She was clinging to the Dark Templar as if she was trying to become Dark Akan.

“By the way, Mr. Seonghan.”

“Yes.”

“Is Mr. Seonghan afraid of women?”

suddenly?

Well, I’ve never been afraid of women.

“Hmm.”

“Why are you like that?”

Kang Jin-young made a serious expression.

-Ah, hello······. This is Ok-Bun Lee from the Dae-I-Neung National Civil Cooperation Department···. I’m here to talk about the guidance for this promotion exam···.”

Yibokbun explained in a soft voice on the stage.

-First of all─

Lee Ok-bun, who was about to speak, stopped.

From far away, his superior was staring intently at him.

A look that says kill.

It would be nice if it ended with just a glance···but if you do it for yourself, it’s a stage you do it on.

“Do it right. If you don’t want to fall behind.”

He said it with the shape of his mouth.

“Really.”

I even told you twice not to forget.

Twice!

Here, if I keep saying “Fuck you! ” and keep that tension?

It would be comfortable for now, but I would return to headquarters and become familiar with water in the Namsan underground.

“Hey.”

“Yep!”

“Hey.”

“Yep!!”

“Beat my brain.”

“Okay!!”

“What are you? You’ve been treating me nicely lately, so I feel relaxed? Even if Chinese kids come, you’ll greet them with “Xie Xie~ Ni Hao”? Are you a spy?”

“Sorry… … .”

bang!

“Who told you to tell me your name?! You’re an idiot. Do you understand? You fucking idiot, you piece of shit! What the hell are you talking about?”

“He’s a cripple!!”

“Yeah.”

There’s a reason he’s called the Wizard of Namsan.

Release your tension and relax your neck.

I still feel like I’m going to die.

It’s 100 times better than actually dying.

“Ke, Kehhehehe! Okay! Everyone, look here! The monsters here are currently─”

Only then did Kang Jin-young smile brightly.

Because I can’t let the first practical exam go to waste.

***

The situation explanation is over.

Now, all that’s left is to take the practical test and interview.

Lee Seong-han sat down in a shipping container.

It is slightly smaller than a regular container, and is equipped with chairs and various supplies inside to accommodate three or four people.

The practical test site was separated by a barrier, so it had to be moved using heavy equipment. I guess it was a pretty good way to move it.

I heard a broadcast from far away.

-Please board separately for each person.

The practical exam is conducted in groups. It is impossible to take the exam alone. You must form a party to be safe inside the gate.

“Excuse me?”

It was dark inside.

Because the lights haven’t been turned on yet.

But there was no need to turn on the lights.

“… … .”

“… … .”

The Kang sisters glared at each other as if they were going to kill each other. They sat on the chairs looking at the Roman nun.

They are talking only with their eyes, without any dialogue.

“Stop talking nonsense and answer properly. What kind of monster will appear in this training?”

“I can’t tell you that much. Fairness is an important factor.”

“Fairness is a topic that has been treated as if it were frozen to death. You talk so much dirty words.”

“It was practically a pass even if I didn’t touch it anyway. It’s a done deal. What an overreaction.”

“A done deal?”

Lee Seong-han was startled, but his face soon relaxed.

Wow, eco-friendly lighting.

Oh my.

Looking at the way they were bickering, it seemed clear that there was at least one fighting chicken in the family.

Blue.

Red.

It’s like a soul rival.

Democrats and Republicans.

Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Red-Eyes Black Dragon.

Together with the people─

[They say that ‘blocking’ is never, never, never a political bait.]

“What.”

Then isn’t the problem that the Democratic and Republican parties came out?

While Lee Seong-han tilted his head.

The sisters were glaring at Lee Seong-han with their faces turned around as if they were switching masks.

“Are you here? Nothing happened.”

“This time, we’re participating as supervisors~ Aren’t you happy?! You’ll be the one marking the person in charge, so you’d better be prepared, right?”

“Of course. I’m so happy I could laugh.”

My sister nodded as if to say that it was okay.

At that moment, footsteps were heard from afar.

They were probably hunters who were riding together. Lee Seong-han was delighted and looked up.

“Ah, I told you not to do that, unnie.”

“That fucking porter talks too much.”

“Ahh.”

Standing at the container door was a pitiful man wearing a golden sun hat and a piece of cloth.

Geum Tae-yang put his arm into Cheonan and… … was kneading something.

I don’t really want to know what it is. Lee Seonghan avoided eye contact.

A blue badge on the chest. It is also a badge of the Blue Dragon Guild.

Especially that face.

Wasn’t that the woman who harassed me at the entrance when I registered? It was true that I felt a sense of rejection deep down, even though I was of the opposite sex.

I wanted to kill him. But I held back. I knew it would have a negative impact on the judging.

Especially if you do something like this, you’ll be discharged. I’d like to be dishonorably discharged, but that’s not the case for the Awakened.

“You, you!”

Geum Tae-yang swung his sword as if he was embarrassed.

Lee Seong-han turned his gaze to the Kang sisters.

‘Can I help you?’

“so.”

“yes.”

Both heads nodded.
