Whoa! Whoa!

got a call. Han Yoo-jung, who was carrying the game console, checked her cell phone. It’s an unknown number

“hello?”

-Hello, I’m Seo Hyun-seok, the head of the Human Resources Team at the Hunter Association’s Seoul headquarters. Are you Yoo-Jeong Han?

A polite man’s voice.

Han Yoo-jung confirmed it.

“yes.”

-I’m sorry for the delay in contacting you because the accident was an accident related to the second test. I want to make a good suggestion to Han Yoo-jung, not anything else.

“A good suggestion?”

-It’s an important story, so I wanted to tell you face-to-face, but I checked the personal statement written by Yu-jeong Han.

shriveled, shriveled.

The sound of flipping the paper is heard over the receiver.

-By the way, the registered company, no, there was no guild.

It was still under review. I couldn’t write the name of a guild that didn’t have a name right away, so I left it blank.

-This is probably because Han Yu-jeong is a minor, so if there is no guild, she needs a guardian.

“yes.”

– Do you have any relatives other than your parents? .

The headteacher was speechless.

The guardian was also blank.

It was obvious what that meant.

“Is it important?”

-To put it simply, it is only the second case that you passed 3,000 points in the first test, so at the level of the association… .

“No, not that.”

Han Yoo-jung bowed her head in the dark room. The game machine that touched my toe suddenly looked shabby.

“It’s a protector. do you need it? There is a manager.”

The manager answered in a troubled voice.

-I’m sorry, but this is a story about contracts. Minors can cancel at any time even if they sign a contract… . Parental consent is required.

“Then the manager… .”

small sigh.

It looked like he was careful not to hear it, but in Han Yoo-jung’s ears, everything was clear. My shoulders kept shrugging.

From the moment she heard the word “protector”, several people’s faces flashed through Han Yu-jeong’s mind.

Kim Hyun-woo, Lee Ji-ah, Kim Hyun-woo, Han Ye-rim, Kim Hyun-woo, relatives, Kim Hyun-woo… .

Han Yoo-jung licked her lips and pondered.

-Mr. Han Yoo-jung? Are you listening?

Will you listen to me please?

It’s a contract issue. It was a completely different story from asking them to enter their resident registration number in a game.

I turned the situation around in my mind. Several answers came to mind.

Anxiety, anticipation, disappointment, joy… The fluctuating feelings soon ended up as one.

It was scary.

What if no? Wouldn’t it be better to cover it without asking?

Han Yoo-jung opened her trembling lips.

“I, I don’t have a guardian… .”

– Relatives?

“Yes, I can’t contact you. I’m sorry, but what I said… … .”

It was when Han Yoo-jung spoke intermittently. A large hand grabbed the phone and went away. Kim Hyun-woo scratched his neck and answered the phone.

“hello? I am the guardian of the child.”

– Oh, yes, hello. This is Seo Hyun-seok, the head of the Human Resources Team at the Hunter Association’s Seoul headquarters. Are you a legal representative?

“No, it’s not… .”

Kim Hyun-woo glanced at Han Yoo-jung’s eyes.

“If we need it, we can get it ready in no time. What are you doing?”

-There is something else the association would like to suggest to Han Yoo-jung.

“What is your suggestion?”

-It’s an important story, so I’d like to meet you in person. Do you have time today?

Kim Hyun-woo checked his watch. It’s been a while since Han Ye-rim copied her abilities and left, so the time was generous.

“Unless it’s too late.”

Kim Hyun-woo talked with the team leader and made an appointment.

“Well then, see you later.”

Kim Hyun-woo hung up the phone and handed it to Han Yoo-jung.

I’ll have to go and hear what it’s about, but it didn’t seem like I was trying to bring up a bad story. If that was the case, I wouldn’t have even asked to see you face to face.

“I’m sorry, but I made an appointment right away. I don’t think I can play.”

I stretched out my arms for a while, but there was no response.

“Yoo-jung?”

“yes?”

“what are you doing? My arm hurts, won’t you take it?”

Han Yoo-jung quickly received the phone.

“Oh, no. I’m sorry.”

“I’ll be preparing, so I’ll put on my clothes first.”

“yes.”

Kim Hyun-woo, who was looking at Han Yoo-jung curiously, turned around. As he was about to close the door, Han Yoo-jung, who had been hesitant, asked abruptly.

“mister. What did you come up for?”

“I came here because I was worried because there was no news from the kid who said he was going to pick up a game console after 20 minutes.”

“Hey, it’s a call.”

“yes.”

“Where did you hear that?”

Kim Hyun-woo laughed awkwardly.

“Since I said it was difficult because I didn’t have a guardian. I just came.”

Han Yu-jeong took a deep breath.

“Isn’t there something wrong?”

“No, no. I have to change clothes, so please close the door.”

“It’s not urgent, so prepare slowly.”

“yes.”

Chunkyung!

The door is closed. Han Yoo-jeong, who had been standing stiffly, slowly melted onto the bed. My throat kept getting hotter and hotter.

“thank god.”

Han Yoo-jung covered her face with both hands and muttered.

I remembered that the manager, like a parrot, answered only as a manager when the team leader said that he was looking for a guardian.

“I didn’t hear the first part… .”

*

When I arrived at the association, I called the team leader. We were ushered into the conference room. The team leader handed out the bundles of papers he had brought along to Han Yoo-jeong one by one.

My eyes were drawn to the letters on the front page.

‘Second Lee Ji-ah’

The manager coughs and draws attention.

“Hey, we ask you to keep the conversation we had here secretly. Even if it’s not a first-class security issue, it’s confidential for the first time.”

It’s a bit like talking on the phone, but I think it’s a serious conversation. He nodded his head softly.

“Do you know who Lee Ji-ah is?”

“I know.”

Today, we ate while looking at each other face to face.

“That’s right, because there’s no one in Korea that I don’t know as a Hunter… .”

The leader leans forward. And he lowered his voice as if telling a very secret story.

“Actually, Ji-ah Lee made a similar offer after she passed 3,000 points.”

“What is your suggestion?”

“It’s a proposal for the association to make images.”

image making?

“There was also a title that said that Lee Ji-ah was the first to score over 3,000, but didn’t it feel particularly lively? Compared to Han Yoo-jung now.”

It was.

Han Yoo-jeong is a promising prospect who also scored over 3,000 points, but compared to Lee Ji-ah at the time, I couldn’t help but think that the topic was very low.

Until a girl who was the same age as me got the title of the greatest prospect of all time and entered the Abyss dungeon.

Because each step was a national concern.

On the other hand, Han Yoo-jeong received some attention, but in the end, she was only a promising prospect known only to those in the know.

I am well aware of the symbolism of the words first and best, but it was still a little strange.

Even though it’s still only the first test, it was appropriate to say that Han Yoo-jung is the best of all time, except for Lee Ji-ah.

The team leader rolled the ballpoint pen in his hand and said.

“It is about that time. The Red Gate has exploded.”

“Yes?”

“Red Gate. Exploded in Seoul… .”

“I know.”

He said rubbing his lips.

“I know.”

The team leader looked at him puzzledly and said, “Oh,” and scratched his head.

“It was a mess. There were so many casualties, it was a national commemoration period… At that time, what the association came up with, let’s make a national hero! It was.”

“Then please… .”

“Yes, at that time, the most promising Lee Ji-ah was chosen by the association. That’s why I proposed it to my company, Hwashin.”

The manager handed over the paper. Several tables and figures were written. Marketing costs and effectiveness were things like that.

“It was supported by the association. That’s why he’s been so famous since he was a prospect. Looking back now, if I had left it alone, it would have quickly become famous.”

head goes numb I put my forehead on my forehead and thought. The reason Lee Ji-ah collapsed was because of her mentality.

At that time, a 16-year-old girl received all kinds of attention, saying that she was an all-time prospect.

Excessive interest, continued malicious comments, and a broken mentality.

There is no way that the guild and the association would not know. He must have prioritized performance over mental care to carry on the project.

He had so much talent that he stood tall with his skills… .

sixteen.

Lee Ji-ah was younger than the current Han Yoo-jeong.

“Jia… Who is Lee Ji-ah?”

“yes?”

“Did Lee Ji-ah know about this too?”

“no.”

The manager shrugs his shoulders.

“It was because Lee Ji-ah was 16 at the time. It’s a difficult thing to say to a child. It was a transaction at the company level.”

“… … It was one-sided support.”

“So there was no legal way to tie up Lee Ji-ah. It was my first time, so I was a little inexperienced. For now, we’re going to reconcile several items and offer them directly to the parties. Ah, to say the least, this is not an unfair contract. It’s win-win.”

The team leader held out the contract and talked about various things.

How much can the association help Han Yoo-jung become famous, and how much convenience it can provide for her future activities… .

Sweet words pass and the price comes.

“After that, you just have to follow the compulsory mobilization order a set number of times.”

“A compulsory mobilization order.”

“Yeah, it’s probably the guild side. If you try to beat the abacus and the angle doesn’t come out, there is a corner where you give up quickly.”

Attacking the dungeon was a story of quite a lot of money.

From the equipment used as consumables to the ransom of the hunters, if you get seriously injured, the money goes away because of the contract.

The dungeon attack was a structure that naturally needed investors.

“Someone has to attack, but if there is no profit, no one will touch it. Investors don’t care. It is a time bomb that you never know when it will explode if you let it go or fail. The association has to deal with it somehow… … .”

“It means dealing with unfavorable dungeons by force mobilization.”

“Yes, that’s right. Please read the contract first.”

I looked through the contract.

And it was ridiculous and I burst out laughing.

The world is truly full of thieves who try to cut their noses even with their eyes wide open.

“Nothing is written.”

“yes?”

“There is nothing written about how high-risk missions can be ordered for compulsory mobilization.”

It’s really young, that’s the problem.

I even wear a suit on purpose, but everyone I meet sees me as a dry kid with no blood on his head.

He smiled and handed out the contract again.

“sorry. This cannot be done.”
