ㅡClick, click… !

The door closes softly and makes a noise.

The place I entered was a separate room behind the conference room.

The place is quite small for an individual conference room.

It was enough space for about 4 adults to sit.

If I were to be specific, it was closer to a lounge.

A reception table can be seen on the glass wall.

And a woman sitting there calmly.

Because he was sitting with his back to the entrance, I could only see his back, but his brilliant silver hair was impressive. Her hair was like neat silky hair. Her hair was so long that it reached down to her waist.

At first I thought it was an old man with white hair.

High-ranking executives like Park Mak-rye.

However, it was clear that the pale skin of the nape of the neck visible through the hair belonged to a young person.

I don’t know who it is, but it must be someone related to the association that Park Mak-rye asked for an interview. Maybe he could be a current hero.

“Kuhm… ! Hello?”

I cleared my throat and handed him a greeting.

When I came in, my voice was shaking.

No matter how formal the interview,

A place like this… It’s too burdensome for me.

Is this the first interview in how many years? … . It’s awkward so I’m leaving.

“Yes. Would you like to sit in front of me?”

A clear and pure voice responds to my greeting. It wasn’t a warm voice, but it was a voice full of kindness. But her attitude was actually blunt.

When people greeted me, I just responded in a stiff tone without even looking back. Her eyes were always looking straight ahead.

‘What, is it like a pressure interview? Are you trying to make them make mistakes by scaring them from the beginning?’

I feel like I’m being intimidated by some sense of anxiety.

Still, there is nothing to be nervous about at all.

Passing the exam is already a foregone conclusion, so don’t be scared.

It’s just a formal interview.

All you have to do is answer the questions well.

I suppressed the tension inside and gathered myself. Then, he slowly sat down with a smile on his face to hide his nervousness.

-Gulp!

As I sit down, I start drooling.

As expected, an ominous feeling comes over me.

This is the fear of interviews that I had long forgotten about.

I actually had interview anxiety.

After all, I have dozens of interview experiences.

There are more than 20 guilds that I visited to get a job as a hunter.

Of course, I went into the interview with an attitude full of energy at first, but the result was 20 wins and 20 losses.

Total defeat. A miserable record.

They all failed for the same reason.

Everything else was fine, but all guilds rejected him because his awakening ability was useless.

There is no use for the ability that only your body can use. At first, I thought so. I held on with the thought that my skills might be needed somewhere else.

However, as I said before, I collapsed in all my interviews. This series of failures made me, a big man, feel intimidated.

After that, I gave up on interviews.

As soon as I sit down, I feel suffocated.

I feel like something similar to a forgotten trauma is creeping up on me.

“Nice to meet you, I am the interviewer in charge of your interview today.”

The interview starts right away, contrary to your desire to get out of it. Only now do I see the face of the woman sitting across from me.

The voice of the woman in front of me was clear.

Her appearance was also elegant but dazzling.

Is it a gorgeous yet somewhat understated beauty?

Silver bangs cut straight and neatly.

Long straight hair that hangs down to the waist.

Oriental narrow eyes.

The eyelashes and eyebrows were also strangely silvery.

However, the pupils were not visible.

He just narrows his eyes.

He had a subtle smile with narrowed eyes.

Do I have small eyes? Or is it a concept?

“… Are you Mr. Sihoo Han?”

“Ah, yes. Nice to meet you~ Yes… … ?”

I had no choice but to stop while trying to answer the interviewer’s question. That’s right… … .

‘Now, wait a minute? What is this discomfort? It’s a very familiar face and voice… … ?’

Plus, those narrow eyes looked familiar.

“Hmm? Why is that? Any problem?”

“Um, over there… … . Could it be… … .”

“Hmm? What is it?”

“… Geomjae, Park Bi-hwa?”

It was dark yesterday and I was wearing a helmet, so I couldn’t see it in detail, but I remember the overall impression and voice exactly. He definitely had a clear voice and thin eyes.

“Woohuhu… Did Iria tell you about me?”

Park Bi-hwa smiled when I said her name. The already thin eyes are crooked like thread. It was a smile as if he knew it was destined to be like this.

The uneasy feeling of déjà vu finally becomes reality and runs down my spine.

“As expected, you were yesterday… … !”

“Yes, that’s right. Is this the older sister I saw yesterday?”

Park Bi-hwa keeps smiling while looking at me with narrowed eyes, unable to see what is so fun. Seeing this scene in front of my eyes makes me want to feel the chicken flesh.

The words that she remembered my name yesterday with a loose expression on her face flash across my mind like a flash.

“How did you get here…? … ?!”

“How? Isn’t it because I was the only person in the association that my grandmother could trust?”

Iria flashes her silver eyelashes and smiles slyly. I never dreamed that we would meet again in just one day like this.

Anyway, I don’t have a good feeling.

It’s ominous. I have to get out.

If you stay here, something bad will happen to you.

– Jump up!

Sensing something ominous, I hurriedly tried to get up from my seat.

“… … ?!”

I definitely tried to do that… … .

ㅡTalk!

“Mo, my body can’t move… … ?”

Geomjae stood up after me and was pressing my forehead with his index finger.

“Where are you going? Is it okay if I don’t have an interview?”

“Kuhhh… … ?!”

“Woohuhu… ♡ Please sit quietly.”

Surprisingly, the slender-looking woman’s body does not move even with a single finger. It was partly because I used my lower body too much the day before, but the pressure I felt on my forehead was no joke.

It feels like there’s a piece of metal on my head.

I just can’t move.

It was tremendous power.

I tried to lift my arm to push her hand away, but it was no use.

It was truly the power of an official second-ranked S-class hero.

“There is no need to be so scared. Because we’re really only going to conduct interviews.”

“Lie! They tried to attack me yesterday… … !”

“You’d better think carefully. If things go back like this, only Iria will be in trouble, right?”

“What do you mean, Lia is in trouble… … ?”

Park Bi-hwa opens his eyes tentatively, creating a heavy atmosphere. Then he pursed his pink lips and continued speaking.

“I don’t think you know much about it yet, but did you know that you’re getting into a lot of gossip because Iria revealed you as her assistant yesterday?”

ㅡUgh, click… !

As Park Bi-hwa said that, he took out his phone and placed it on the table.

“What is this… … ?”

“Look at the screen carefully. Because it’s people’s reaction to what happened yesterday.”

When Park Bi-hwa touches the phone, dense letters appear on the screen. It seemed like part of a SNS or Internet bulletin board had been edited.

[Is it true that Iria hired a boy as her assistant?]

┗ ㄹㅇim. I saw it and it was cute.

┗ ??? What are you doing? Are you a current hero?

[To think of using a child as an assistant… … .]

┗ Shocking and moving true story. Iria is a complete idiot.

[Looking at the photos going around in the gallery, he looks really young, but is he an adult?]

┗ What’s important about that? As long as it tastes good, that’s enough haha.

┗ Still, I guess they picked Heeronde because he was an adult… Do you really want to work with private Delco?

[Well, I heard that Side Kicks also need to complete a course at the academy, but they must be adults haha. It’s a shame… … .]

[So, if even the assistant remains anonymous, then he/she is not an adult, right?]

[Please Shorin! Shorin! Shorin!]

┗ Shibeol Pedo Shackㅡㅡ Don’t you manage that?

┗ Come see the link. You will change your mind too.

┗ Wow… Fuck haha, I admit this. 10 possible! Heh… … .

[If the assistant is unofficial this time, then Iria can also be paid? Hahaha]

┗ That seems right. How difficult is it to authenticate a certificate of completion?

┗ What is the point without certification?

[If even the assistant is kept private, there seems to be a lot of people complaining.]

[I’m so jealous… … . If I had an assistant like that, I could have the assistant pump out every day… … .]

[ㅗㅜㅑ WWW spewing hydro pumps up and down]

“Well, what is this… … ?”

The reactions were quite confusing.

Everyone was interpreting it however they wanted.

Even though I don’t know much about the relationship between me and Iria… … .

‘I know very accurately. Oh, except that I’m an adult, of course.’

I never thought what happened at the capital hospital would become this big. Additionally, the photo linked to the link looked like someone had taken it from afar.

“Wow, do you understand the situation now?”

“Well, I don’t know… ? What does this mean?”

“What is it? This is why you should calmly accept the interview, right?”

“Yes?

“If I disqualify you here, what will happen to Iria’s reputation? … ?”

Park Bi-hwa seemed to feel that there was no longer any need to force him, as he sat down and smiled.

And at the same time… … .

ㅡKuuuk… !!

“Haaa-? What are you doing now… … ?!”

For some reason, Park Bi-hwa’s feet, which had reached out from under the table, were putting pressure on my lower body.

It was the beginning of a real pressure interview.
