“What…what is that…?“

“How dare you…make fun of level 6…! This kind of nonsense… “

The old man put on his glasses and looked at the paper with his head lowered from a distance.

What was inside was a certified certificate that was authentic to anyone who could see it.

The miraculous moment that announced the birth of Level 6 for the first time in Korea.

The same form as the certificate announcing level 6 qualifications that the current president, Mesgaki, teasingly displayed in front of the public.

Although not everyone can be verified as having level 6 qualifications.

The presidential security agency sent a bodyguard, and the incredible skills he showed as an awakened person.

And despite his young age as a first year student at the academy, he even showed such a confident attitude towards the executives.

Even if you do not actually verify that the certificate is genuine,

Even though executives tried hard to deny its existence, the certificate was already accepted as fact.

‘It works better than I thought…’

Even after changing only the name and date on the certificate that Mesgaki received.

Although it was a fake document created for bluffing purposes.

Thanks to his usual behavior and the brilliant showmanship he displayed from the moment he entered,

I was able to easily fool their sharp eyes.

The certificate was beautifully decorated with dazzling decorations, as if it were a performance.

It’s as if a beautiful spotlight is shining on you just by holding this paper, showing that you have been chosen by God.

“The above person proves that he or she has the qualifications for level 6 awakening.”

“You say you can become level 6…? My younger brother…?“

“Huh, that’s ridiculous. I never thought I’d call you with the intention of playing a prank like this. Okay, I guess I should go back.“

“Aing tsk tsk…the world is coming to an end. In the world, seeing level 5 is like picking stars in the sky… What kind of level 6 awakened person is…!“

thud—!

Among the people who watched Han Seo-jin through all kinds of suspicion, distrust, and bravado.

The manager of the Shinpung Association immediately unfolded a briefcase at his seat.

Paaaa—!

“This…is…?!“

“Hmm…I guess I used some strength.“

When I opened the briefcase, I found that it contained beautiful, brightly colored objects.

Even to a layperson who does not know how to identify item grades,

There was an aura of a different level.

The decorations carved into it and the wear and tear of time have already proven the value of this object.

“If you join our Shinpung Association, we can provide you with all of the items you see…“

“Hmm…“

“It is not a long-term rental like we do for general scouted hunters… We will transfer ownership.“

“Hey you crazy guy…! How much does it all cost…! If you give it all away, what should we do for business…!“

The young woman, momentarily overheated, pointed to her suit bag.

Just by handing over all these artifacts, the amount was already more than the annual salary of most heroes.

If he accepted this proposal and handed over everything, it was clear that the manager would also have to write a letter of condolences.

With his extensive experience and accumulated experience, he has already made a bet toward the future.

If I were to make a bet right now on the first page, I would be able to recruit that one-of-a-kind genius.

And at the same time, it was a calculation supported by the fact that he could also have his older sister, Han Ji-ah, join at the same time.

“Hmm…“

“What do you think? We’ve never been treated at this level in our industry before, but I’m sure you’ll like it. Since you are a person with level 6 qualifications… I think it is natural to be treated this way.“

Seojin Han looked closely at the briefcase handed to her.

From time to time, he looked around at the beautifully colored jewelry or daggers inside,

He soon chuckled and shook his head towards Lapis.

‘What…what…? First of all, his expression was bright… no, did he just laugh at me…? Even with such top-class items…?!’

The manager was momentarily embarrassed and breaking into a cold sweat.

Lapis carefully returned the bag to him and sat down.

Squeak…

“Excuse me for a moment.“

He slowly untied the two jewelry pinned to his wrist and ear.

Then place it on the table and quietly recite the spell.

Paaat—-!

“Mi…crazy…what is this…?!“

“Ma… this is ridiculous… I’ve never seen anything like this before… “

For a moment, a powerful magical power began to flow out that seemed to paralyze my eyes.

It is on a different level from the beautiful artifacts that had caught people’s attention just now.

Rather, the items contained therein were listed at an absurd level, to the point where they could be dismissed as hideous.

‘Have you been hiding the items you have all this time…waiting to see what kind of proposal we will make…?!’

“I would appreciate your sentiment, but if it is an item of that level… I am not satisfied with it. Of course, I did not show it to you as a request for a top-class artifact, like this one I have.“

“All I want is cooperation for level 4 awakening. I believe this is enough to convince you that there is no point in suggesting anything other than that.“

“No matter what…it doesn’t make sense…! Do you know how much backlash there was for the young man’s older sister to become an [S] class hero in just two years? But two days…? Are you asking me to raise your grade in two days…!“

When Han Seo-jin adjusted her posture to say something,

Lapis slowly stood up.

“Of course, we are well aware that the conditions we requested are not normally accepted.“

“Writers who know so well can’t make such nonsense…“

“However, I also know that it is not impossible. That’s what I told you.“

Even at her young age, Lapis confidently crossed her arms and spoke.

The old man, momentarily overwhelmed by her expert spirit, fell silent for a moment.

“And you probably already know it well. The value of level 6…how important it is.“

“Pfft… Asking for a hunter who is currently [E] level to be promoted to [S] level… This is ridiculous… “

The old man looked at her with a puzzled expression,

The female executive who came out quickly raised her hand and said.

“Good. We will accept it from our side. But it would be impossible to make it in two days. There is no way the management bureau will allow it.“

Jia Han nodded.

“Do you think those old guys will easily give permission? Of course, I know very well that my younger brother is truly a genius among geniuses. Rules are rules and all, but they will be rejected right at the document stage.“

“Ah, if that is the case, we have prepared well.“

Beep—!

Lapis took out a remote control and changed the channel on the huge TV hanging at the end of the conference room.

A familiar woman appeared on several news channels as breaking news.

“Now, as of this hour, I, Rachel, take the oath to faithfully perform my duties in place of the missing Director of the Hunter Management Bureau, Park Tae-beom…”

Beep—!

“M…What is that…?!“

“Wait…Rachel…? I feel like I’ve heard this somewhere…“

“No, wait… That person is definitely from Central Academy…“

Lapis nodded her head slowly.

“That’s right, he is the chairman of Central Academy…and a directly selected delegate as written in Park Tae-beom’s will. For more details, I recommend watching the news after the bidding ends.“

“Oh…is it Rachel this time? Beat…Ahh…!“

As soon as Han Seo-jin said something, she struck his side again.

However, the confused bidders soon rolled their heads and groaned.

Soon the two representatives of Mir and Griffin shook their heads.

“No matter how much you think about it, it’s impossible. The backlash would be very severe, and we only received a report… no matter how talented she is, we can’t give her a promotion this easily.“

“I agree with that. Of course, what can I say about a young man having a true heart… I can feel it sensuously… but it’s better to take it slow… “

bang—!

At that moment, Lapis hit the desk with a thick book,

Soon he looked at the two executives with a confident expression.

“It reminds me of this report. Didn’t the three of you here have a meal with precious guests from abroad yesterday?“

‘How much do you know…? There’s no way a child like that would know that information…?’

They got goosebumps for a moment and looked at each other and exchanged glances.

Two scouts from two global hunter companies visited Korea a few days ago.

We had dinner with people from China, the United States, and even the United Kingdom and other companies.

Formally, it was just a story about future talent training and the dispatch of international mercenaries.

Metallurgy: Extracting talented individuals born in Korea.

It also felt like an implicit declaration that those who would shine in the upcoming national martial arts competition would be taken away.

“…What do you want to say?“

Han Seo-jin nodded and adjusted his gloves.

“I am speaking in a straightforward manner. Yesterday, offers for naturalization as hunters came from the United States and China, respectively. And the conditions are overwhelmingly favorable to me.“

“As soon as it was revealed at the research center that he had Level 6 qualifications, it seems that the information was immediately passed on to the governments of the two countries. It wasn’t all that crazy. Haha… if I messed up, I could have been kidnapped.“

“Ha…Do you understand the fact that we suggested a deadline of two days and the fact that the Presidential Security Service brought in bodyguards like this…do you understand?“

‘Was that something like that…!’

A thought passed through the manager’s head as if the pieces of a puzzle had been put together.

One of the internationally established conventions on hunters.

Hunters registered at level 4 or higher cannot be freely dispatched abroad or naturalized.

The management bureau puts a lot of effort into monitoring the heroes,

In a way, it was one of the measures to prevent the outflow of national talent.

“Two days, two days left. If you don’t cooperate with us and promote us to level 4…“

Lapis smiled faintly.

“As Americans, perhaps Chinese, we will be the first all-rounder class, earning the title of Level 6 Awakened.“

“I…I…! Have you seen those nasty guys…they’re blinded by money…!“

“I haven’t decided on a transfer yet. However, since they have found out information about us, they will probably try to get their hands on Han Seo-jin here by any means necessary. We are still trying to appease…“

The girl looked coldly at the executives.

“If I can’t have it, I’m probably thinking that I’ll kill myself.”

“Keu…”

“Ugh…if they’re Chinese…they already have a record…”

“So, I propose collaboration with you. If we work together to turn this patriotic young man who can serve the country into a level 4 and even further… a second level 6 awakened… it will be a win-win choice for both. .“

The inside of the conference room became solemn.

The executives already knew.

Even if it is their own company with stellar performance,

They said they would not be able to win against the leading global conglomerates, the United States and China.

If they decide to steal talent,

Even if you plan an assassination considering that the international situation will be shaken…

It was clear that this irreplaceable talent would be missed.

“Now, it’s time to choose. The method is already in place. It’s a bit of an expedient, but…at least it won’t be a problem in terms of regulations.“

“Now… wait a minute, if Han Seo-jin becomes level 4. Shouldn’t the contract specify which of us we belong to? If you go later, it will be bloody.“

“Mr. Han Seo-jin?“

Han Seo-jin smiled kindly as if he had been waiting for those words.

Soon, he blurted out a word.

“Independent.“

“Yes?“

“What?!“

“Hey…I’m really bored.“

“Director. Another thought…“

“For now, I will live as a freelancer until the situation calms down and I develop sufficient skills.“

“Then, once this chaotic situation calms down, we can collaborate with all of you.“

“Keu…I guess I have no choice.“

“I am a healer, a dealer, and at the same time have the qualities of a tank.“

“If I make up my mind and end up joining the Healer Association, do you have the confidence to deal with those Celestial Dragons? Although they say their position has weakened a bit thanks to the treatment, they still have a hard time trying to please those people.“

Unlike the sweet and gentle appearance he showed until now,

His cold, cool-headed and calculating personality was now evident in his eyes.

All the executives nodded slowly and began tapping their calculators.

Then he got up and started handing him the bag.

“Okay, then this is a gift for joining the company. Even though I said I’m a freelancer, if I make a good first impression like this… I’m sure you’ll be able to build a good relationship with me.“

“Keuhumhmmm…Anyway, any patriotic young man who cares about the country like you is always welcome. From now on, you can call me brother, Han Seo-jin’s younger brother. “

“It may seem insignificant compared to what you have, but…at market price, it is an item with considerable value. Please use it usefully and contact us. Jiyoon Kim also wants me to say thank you.“

“Keu…I don’t know what this is, but you’ll also be working at the management bureau later, right? Contact me when you are listed on the hero list, and my sister will tell you more.”

Seojin Han stood up politely and shook hands with everyone.

Even though he is a young student, he looks confident and proud.

And at the same time, a temperament so considerate that it is difficult to feel jealous flows out,

Everyone completed the bidding successfully in a friendly atmosphere.

“I will dedicate myself to our country from now on. You made the right choice, and we will make sure you won’t regret it.“

“Yes. I don’t know why, but somehow, this transaction feels good.“

Beep—

At that moment, the TV screen turned on and the Taegeukgi waved.

Seojin Han put her hand on her chest and sang slowly to the accompaniment.

Lapis looked at him pitifully and sighed heavily.

As if there was nothing we could do, we sang the national anthem very quietly.

“East Sea and Mt. Baekdu~“

“Until it dries and wears out…“

‘…Anyway, I’m sure it’s a fool. Well, it seems like his skills are clear…’

The manager stopped thinking.

He simply helped Jiyoon Kim, who was sitting next to him, up and placed his hand on her chest.

“Ha~May God bless our country, long live our country~“

All the executives looked puzzled.

The chorus continued with a feeling of confusion.

“Mu~Gunghwa Samcheon-ri Hwanghwagangsan Mountain…“

“For~~~One person, let’s preserve the Korean Peninsula…!“

Clap clap clap clap—!

Thus began the grand plan to train patriotic youth and Level 6 students.

The public bidding ended with numerous gifts to Han Seo-jin and promises of full support from associations.

oh! Glory to Korea.

The world will witness the birth of a new level 6.

——-

“Thank you for your hard work. Commander.“

“Ha…“

Han Seo-jin lit a cigarette and then sighed deeply.

“What is it? That reaction. Isn’t it good to encourage patriotism?“

“Patriotism?“

Cheap profit…

He took a drag from his cigarette and slowly exhaled it.

“I gave up on things like that when I was in the military.“

“…Then why on earth did you do that show!!!!“

“Ahh!!!”

match—!

After Lapis hit Han Seo-jin sharply on the back, she immediately took the cigarette away and trampled it with her foot.

“And I told you several times to quit smoking!!!!”

“Ahh!! it hurts…! I heard it hurts…!”

“Now! Commander! 17 years old! That’s it! If you smoke already!”

“Kwaaak…! Well…wrong…!”

“That’s it! I won’t look at you anymore. Let’s go, there’s still a lot of work to do.”

Then she immediately took him with her and headed to another place.

To prepare for the next plan in the future.
