“First of all, Jihoon Park, I think it would be a good idea to go to the association together.”

“Yes? Why?”

When the instructor said that with a slightly serious expression, Park Ji-hoon felt slightly uneasy.

‘No way, familiars are monsters anyway… Isn’t the government or association taking them by force so they can manage them?’

But fortunately, it was for a different reason than the anxiety Park Ji-hoon felt.

“Well, first of all, when you report your ministry skills to the association, you have to have proof… After all, you can’t go home on the subway with a monster.”

“Ah.”

Now that I think about it, it was like that.

Although she looks close to a human, she is a goblin with pointy ears and green skin.

It is definitely a ‘monster’.

Since there is no concept of a miniaturized monster at all, people will naturally get scared and run away when they see Brianna.

Maybe the association can take him home separately, or take action against Brianna.

It certainly seemed nice to get help from them.

“Okay, let’s go together.”

“Yes, then… For the others, practical training is over, so you can go back. Oh, and…”

The instructor slowly approached Lee Mi-na and Shin Jeong-hoon and spoke in a whisper.

“Please keep this matter quiet until the association makes a separate announcement. First of all, I can’t do anything about it, so I have no choice but to report it… Park Ji-hoon may not want to know about it.”

“Ah, yes…”

Lee Mi-na and Shin Jeong-hoon nodded and turned around, looking slightly disappointed.

It was just a shame.

I saw the birth of the world’s first working hunter and familiar right next to me.

What a shame it is that we can’t use that as a topic of conversation or a snack.

However, as the instructor said, if Park Ji-hoon does not want to make it known.

If they spread the rumor for no reason, they could also be harmed.

They quietly returned home.

“I also sent a text message to Hunter Kang Si-kyung asking him to keep this matter quiet. There is no reply, but…”

Park Ji-hoon watched the instructors thoroughly block information.

‘Hmm, it doesn’t really matter.’

He scratched the back of his head as if it didn’t really matter even if it was known.

‘You have to have that kind of impact to be able to get some benefits.’

Park Ji-hoon is not without thoughts.

Actually, I kept thinking about it as I left the dungeon.

The special nature of the skill called alpha male.

And its own special walls.

The process of making a familiar.

When taking all these things into consideration.

‘I have to enter the gate alone.’

Honestly, no matter how close they are to humans.

Isn’t it a bit awkward to show others that you are making love to a monster of a different race?

No, apart from all that.

There are very few people who have a special tendency to like having multiple people watch their sexual activity.

anyway.

Originally, entry to the gate was permitted only with a raid of at least 6 people.

Anything below that is considered dangerous.

However, in extremely rare cases, less is acceptable.

When a hunter with a rank three or more levels higher than the gate rank is included.

In that case, entry is permitted even if there are less than 6 people.

Even if a high-ranked hunter enters alone, solo entry is permitted if the hunter has a lot of gate experience.

This is because in that case, it is believed that there will actually be no life-threatening situation.

In other words, if you want to receive preferential treatment, you must have the hunter’s ecology.

‘If I take advantage of the uniqueness of being the world’s only familiar hunter and ask for preferential treatment by including familiars as party members…’

As it has the title of world’s first and only, it becomes difficult for the association to refuse.

In particular, if the world’s only hunter left Korea if preferential treatment was not given.

‘People in our country can never tolerate something like that again.’

The association that has thrown away the elements of Gukbong will not be able to avoid fierce criticism from the public.

Since they can expect that much, they have no choice but to grant Park Ji-hoon’s request for a special ‘solo entrance’.

‘If possible, it would be good if the story spreads in advance and a rumor spreads. That way, I will have a greater advantage when negotiating.’

Of course, it doesn’t matter if rumors don’t spread in advance.

Anyway, the title of the world’s first and the world’s only still lives on.

Since Park Ji-hoon had already made the calculations up to that point, the steps to the association were not that heavy.

While the instructors were reporting, Park Ji-hoon sat in the reception room and waited.

“Oh, ah ah.”

Brianna was also sitting next to him.

But sitting still doesn’t suit his temperament, so he keeps looking around.

He makes eye contact with humans who are peeking at him through the window outside and makes strange noises.

He seemed distracted like a child.

“Hmm, is your intelligence at the level of a goblin? I can’t even speak.”

Of course, as he is a high-ranking goblin who has grown closer to a human.

Their intelligence may be higher than that of regular goblins, but this may be due to their habit of living in the wild as monsters and the lack of verbal communication.

For some reason, I felt like my intelligence was low.

‘What will happen if we teach language and human life?’

Park Ji-hoon suddenly became curious about that part.

“Wow… look over there.”

“It’s real, you’re a real goblin, right?”

“But it’s prettier than I thought.”

“So… I’ve only seen it in pictures or videos, but this is my first time seeing it in person.”

Meanwhile, it’s still outside.

Hunter Association employees were watching Brianna intently through the window.

‘Hehe, it’s surprising.’

When Park Ji-hoon thought that and felt a sense of superiority for some reason.

Inside the living room where he was, someone opened the door and came in.

“Hello, Hunter Jihoon Park.”

“Ah, yes…”

A middle-aged man with gray hair.

Are you taking good care of your body, or is it something you were born with?

Despite his age, he had a fairly strong body.

“Grung…”

Brianna seemed to be a hunter, as she seemed alert.

‘To ordinary people, only a hint of aggression is visible, and hunters are wary.’

After briefly observing him at the Hunter Association, he showed that behavior pattern.

I recognized him as Hunter.

“Hello.”

Park Jihoon nods and gives you a look as if asking who you are.

“Ah, my name is Lee Hyeon-dong, the head of the Bupyeong branch of the Hunter Association.”

“Ah, yes. Nice to meet you.”

He introduced himself as the head of the Bupyeong branch of the Hunter Association.

A branch leader is a person with full-time authority over the Bupyeong branch.

In other words, he is a high person.

Not all branch leaders are hunters, but he seemed to be one.

He’s also a fairly strong hunter.

In terms of Brianna’s alertness and sense of force.

It looked like it would pass at least C rank.

‘Because he’s stronger than the instructors or Kang Si-kyung.’

Jihoon Park was thinking so, and branch manager Hyeondong Lee pointed to him and Brianna and said,

“I heard what you said. I heard you have ministry skills. And next to it is a goblin…”

“Yes. This is my familiar.”

“Oh…”

Branch manager Lee Hyeon-dong looked at Brianna curiously.

“Grrr…”

Brianna didn’t like Kang Man looking at her, so she let out a low cry and hid behind Park Ji-hoon.

“That’s amazing. This is my first time seeing it. Oh, of course it must be the first time. Hahaha.”

Branch manager Lee Hyeon-dong brightened the mood by telling a light joke.

And then he got straight to the point.

“…I hate to tell you this, but we want to use Hunter for promotion.”

“……”

The branch manager spoke gravely, but it was something Park Ji-hoon had naturally expected.

World’s first.

Unique in the world.

The world’s first and only hunter in Korea, Incheon, and Bupyeong!

There’s no way high-ranking people would just miss out on such a good meal.

And Park Ji-hoon has already calculated the conditions for that.

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Of course, you don’t want to reveal your special abilities… huh?”

When Park Ji-hoon immediately agreed, branch manager Lee Hyeon-dong looked at him in surprise.

I guess I never thought I would agree so easily.

“Well, if it becomes known, foreign media will come and bother you. Love calls will pour in from all kinds of guilds around the world.”

To say the least, the branch manager, who was a bit disappointed, talked about the demerit first.

However, Park Ji-hoon had already anticipated all of those aspects and was planning to endure them.

“I know. I also have to stay in Korea instead of going to another country.”

“……”

Branch manager Lee Hyeon-dong realized that Park Ji-hoon was not just an excited kid who had just become a hunter and gained the world’s first ability.

Thinking that this had come to an end, I should just take it easy, so I relaxed my shoulders and asked.

“You must have also thought about the conditions. What are the conditions?”

To his question, Park Ji-hoon answered with a grin.

“Excluding research on my skills, and gate solo entry.”

“Hmm.”

Lee Hyeon-dong nodded at the surprisingly simple request.

Survey of skills.

Of course this must be prevented.

A hunter’s skills are his food and lifeline.

It’s not something that can be revealed to just anyone.

Especially if it is the world’s first ministry skill, there are sure to be many people or organizations who want to dig deep and investigate its identity.

His request was to block such people from the association.

Of course, the ‘exclusion’ that Park Ji-hoon was talking about.

To be precise, it meant, ‘It’s known that he fucks people of a different race, so please stop people from coming to see him having sex.’

Anyway, the next condition is gate solo entry.

This is actually not a very difficult provision.

This is a basic benefit already given to high-ranked hunters.

But the problem is.

“Since Hunter Park Ji-hoon is F rank… there is bound to be controversy over preferential treatment.”

Park Ji-hoon’s rank is F rank.

I’m at the lowest rank, but since I have the ministry skill, they let me enter solo?

Entering the gate alone means monopolizing the numerous magic stones and by-products that come out of the gate.

In that case, if you enter the F-rank gate, you would earn about 2 million won, divided among the 6 people.

You can earn 12 million won from one gate alone.

This can make other lower-ranked hunters feel deprived.

Just because you have a special skill gives you too much of a privilege.

Of course, that special skill is called ‘ministry’ and it is the only skill in the world.

“There will be quite a few people who are against it. Then what would happen if the world’s only hunter dies?”

“Hmm…”

That was it too.

The gate is a dangerous place where anything can happen.

That is why a party of at least 6 hunters of the same rank is required.

But even though he has a familiar, what if Park Ji-hoon goes in alone and suddenly dies at the gate?

The world’s only ministry hunter disappears that day.

If that happens, there will be a huge backlash from the public.

That’s because the association provides such benefits.

Why didn’t you stop it?

“…First of all, I think we need to review that part further and then tell you.”

Since it was a problem directly related to the image of the Hunter Association, branch manager Lee Hyeon-dong was cautious.

Looking at him like that, Park Ji-hoon.

“Then how about this?”

“Yes?”

A compromise solution was brought out.

“I’m going to add my familiar to the raid team.”

“Ministry horse?”

So, according to Park Ji-hoon.

To fill a 6-person raid, one Park Ji-hoon.

And the idea is to fill in the rest with his familiars, and fill in the missing parts with other raid members.

“…Well, that’s for sure.”

To enter solo, you need at least 5 familiars.

Honestly, at that level, people will understand to some extent even if you are a solo artist.

Anyway, there were 6 people, so you would think that there would be almost no chance of death.

And in the early stages when there are not many familiars, you will eventually have to find raid members, so you can show it to other hunters as if it is not a big benefit.

Of course, there are distribution issues that arise when using a familiar as a raid member, and the fact that there is no change in being a solo player, etc.

There are still many problems that need to be resolved.

It was definitely a much better compromise than just going solo.

“Okay, then report it to the higher-ups like that. We’ll let you know the results. Don’t worry when you go home, our staff will drive you there.”

I received such a positive response.

Jihoon Park and Brianna were able to return home after a long day.
