“No, Representative Hwang… I’m not saying we should cut off the relationship… Why are you going to such extremes? There are circumstances on our side as well… ”

Jang Dae-han, President of the Hunter Management Association

Every day of his life these days was truly a series of horribly arduous forced marches.

When he goes to work at the association, there is only one thing he does.

It was a matter of making a phone call.

To some, it may have seemed very strange that a man who was not a telemarketer but the head of the Hunter Management Association was making phone calls here and there.

Also, one could ask whether making that phone call was a forced march.

But that wasn’t it.

Each and every phone call was a terrible level of mental labor that the president of the association had to deal with.

“No, you are just saying that you will follow the rules, so what is the reason for your efforts to this extent? money? We are currently conducting an internal audit to find out all the executives who took money! I won’t go into detail. In the future, please do not make any contact through channels other than the official channel regarding gate suppression rights!”

As he couldn’t stand it and ended the call screaming, Team Leader Kim from the risk management team offered consolation.

“Whoa…you’ve worked so hard. Association President…Which guild were you representing this time?”

“Grand…”

“Huh…”

Grand Guild

It was a very large guild that could be counted among the top five in Korea no matter who you asked.

It was right after I got into a shouting fight with the representative of such a large guild.

The president of the association opens a drawer and takes out a cigarette.

“Did you not hang up?”

“I quit…I quit…”

ting

With the cheerful sound of the lighter lid opening, the association president’s cigarette begins to burn.

“Phew… It’s really surprising… Large guilds, all large guilds in Korea were receiving preferential treatment… Tsk… It’s not like I didn’t know, so I tried my best to say that there was nothing I could do. Because it’s true that I’ve been winding it down. But I never even thought it would be this serious. I only found out after talking to some guild representatives. Now they’re talking about preferential treatment as if it’s a legitimate right… wow”

Team leader Kim says as he sees Jang Dae-han blowing out a long smoke.

“This is a deep-rooted problem that existed even before the association president took office. There is no need to carry it all and suffer so much.”

“Problem…yes, it is a problem. Whether the roots are deep or how long it has been going on…the problem. Even though I knew it was a problem, I just let it go… That’s a shame ”

“Isn’t there such a thing as balance of power? No matter how much it is a nationally recognized institution, how would the Hunter Management Association have handled it if the large guilds all joined together and rose up?”

Phew

Long puffs of cigarette smoke once again

The association president’s eyes become infinitely deeper.

“Now…I guess I can handle it.”

terrestrial

Team Leader Kim didn’t respond, but he completely understood what the president of the association meant.

Ranking 1st place: Kang Ji-hoon

A person like a natural disaster who suddenly fell from the sky one day.

Even Hunter Jang Hyun-woo, who was previously ranked first, was defeated so easily. His inaction went far beyond the line of common sense.

“That power…is not ours, but belongs to the one watching us, and that’s just frustrating.”

“ Chairman of the Association… why should the Hunter Management Association listen to that guy… that one hunter? No matter if he is ranked first or how strong he is, doesn’t he have the right to control the Hunter Management Association as he pleases?”

Team leader Kim had bad feelings for Jihoon due to an incident the other day.

However, the president of the association shakes his head and scolds him for doing so.

“It’s not that they are ordering you to do something unfair, but on what justification are you citing the refusal to return the abnormal to normal? Now, he is the one who has risen to the top of the rankings and kept his promise to support the association, preventing even the excuse of lack of strength.”

When he sees the president of the association patronizing Ji-hoon, who is not even there, using his honorific title, Team Leader Kim tries to retort, but cannot find anything to say.

“Team Leader Kim: Please put some effort into internal audit first. In addition to the audit team, the risk management team must also move together. It’s probably not just one or two people, they’re the ones who committed corruption. Please identify and upload every single person and every single issue. Deep-rooted problems, let’s solve them all this time.”

Listening to the association president’s words, Team Leader Kim is worried that the Hunter Management Association may fall into the hands of that guy, Kang Ji-hoon.

The president of the association is doing everything he is told to do, and what will he do with the vacant positions of executives who will be fired countless times?

A turbulent era in which the long-established Hunter Management Association is swallowed up by a single hunter.

Team Leader Kim bows his head with a heavy expression, greets the president of the association, opens the door, and leaves.

Through the closing door, the association president’s voice on the phone can be heard again.

“Oh my gosh, Hunter Kang!! I was going to tell you about it~ Academy life-”

Phew

That’s right, it passed.

It was Team Leader Kim, whose servile voice as the president of the association felt so unfamiliar.

“Dae…CEO, please explain…”

“CEO, what on earth is this…”

“That person is a mercenary…?”

Representative Han of Beautiful Guild was unable to take a single step in front of the gate ahead of the special gate subjugation.

It took some time for his mind to understand what was happening before his eyes…so he couldn’t take a single step yet.

Thanks to So-jeong’s friend, Representative Han was able to safely protect the right to subdue the special gate.

When he watched the news on TV that his friend So-jeong, who helped him protect his right to subjugation, was ranked first, he was so surprised that he even threw away the remote control.

I heard that he was going to give some kind of support to his daughter Sojung, who woke up early in the morning and carefully made kimbap…

It was a ranking match, and it was inconceivable that the friend Sojung was rooting for would really win first place in the rankings right away.

But Representative Han was even more surprised now than when he saw that ridiculous news.

So-jeong’s friend, Kang Ji-hoon… It was this morning that the hunter, whose name is now difficult to even call, made a phone call.

-Yes, father, I met you once before, right? This is Sojeong’s friend Kang Jihoon.

“Ah…I was really grateful to Sojung’s friend, Hunter Kang Jihoon, the other day…Ah, first of all, congratulations on becoming number 1 in the rankings.

-Hey, you’re doing this again. What should I do if you keep treating my daughter’s friend with respect? I am all uncomfortable.

“Ah… That’s right, I said that last time too… Hmm… Okay… I understand. Try to speak comfortably…”

-ha ha ha. thank you Thanks to the chicken breast gimbap that Sojeong prepared, I successfully completed the ranking match. Have you ever tried that?

“Hmm… It’s the first time in my life that I’ve seen Sojeong cook… Of course, I haven’t tried it”

-Oh, that’s good. It’s something that people can eat… Ah, that’s not what’s important, what I’m calling you is the other thing. You haven’t conquered that special gate yet, right?

“Special gate? Are you talking about the gate where you secured the right to subjugate? Of course, it’s still a subjugation war. A small guild like ours can only begin subjugation after sufficient training and complete recruitment of mercenaries. That’s the way to avoid safety accidents for guild members…”

-ah. I knew you would, so I found a good mercenary. Let’s finish conquering that special gate today. Just because it stays for a long time doesn’t mean you’ll get better items or magic stones, right?

“Huh? mercenary? You saved a mercenary? Did you get it yourself? What is the hunter level?”

-Hunter level? Hmm…probably Grade A?

“Class A? Finding an A-class mercenary is a breeze… Moreover, with such a mercenary, negotiation regarding compensation will not be easy-”

-Oh, don’t worry about that. This mercenary has no intention of taking money. Because he’s crazy.

“…?”

-Ah, a person who is crazy about swords. Anyway, let’s gather a few prepared guild members and wait in front of the special gate. This mercenary is more useful than expected, so other guild members won’t have anything to do. Can I just farm?

“That…what is that…”

After ending the phone call awkwardly, Representative Han wondered if he should really gather the guild members and head to the gate.

Where did they bring in an A-class hunter without pay?

Even thinking about cancer, it made no sense.

However, the person who spoke on the phone just now was not just my daughter’s friend.

Among the rankings that are said to be the strongest in Korea, the strongest among them is ranked #1.

When Representative Han realized once again that the person he had just spoken to was number one in the rankings, he summoned a punitive force without any hesitation.

And then, a familiar face approached him and his guild members waiting in front of the gate.

“Now… Hunter Jang Hyun-woo… The hunter who said he was coming as a mercenary is Hunter Jang Hyun-woo, CEO?”

“Ah… Hello… Hello… Please take care of me… ”

Jang Hyun-woo was giving his greeting in an uncharacteristically awkward manner.

Representative Han, who, like the guild members, just stared at him with his jaw hanging open for a long time, approaches Jang Hyun-woo.

“Kang… Kang Ji-hoon, is it true that Hunter Jang Hyun-woo is the mercenary sent by that friend?”

“Yes, that’s right…”

“I heard you’re a healer?”

“Yes…healer…that’s right…but I use swordsmanship…a bit well…”

He’ll be good at using it…he’s a sword saint…but what does he mean by healer…

Representative Han was going crazy wondering how on earth his daughter got involved with a person named Kang Ji-hoon.

On this day, the Beautiful Guild was able to clear a special gate that had not been touched for over half a year in 9 hours and take home numerous magic stones and special items.
