Leveling
CH 77S

The whole of Building B was silent

‘Did he just say "measurement is not possible"..?’

"Does that mean if that guy is Rank-S?"

"I just heard it in the story.To think that I would actually see it

directly ... '

gulp

The representative of the small Guild gulped as Jin Woo turned to leave.

However, none of them were able to get close to him.

"..."

"..."

If Rank-C appears, fierce competition will ensue among representatives to try and

recruiting Hunter.

Many of them would line up just to get a word or two.

And if Rank-B shows up?

Practical representatives will fight each other to offer all kinds of offers, benefits

and provisions to Hunter.

To the outside observer, it would look like war.

Sometimes, Rank-B who wants to be the head of a snake instead of the tail of a dragon will be won.

However, Rank-A is a different story.

They were special existences that could find homes in large Guilds and

ignoring small and medium-sized Guilds.

Of course, they would obviously be placed in the primary Raid group of each Guild

the magnitude they entered, and through their work, by clearing Dungeons of the level

high, they would earn an unimaginable amount of money.

That's not all.

If they wanted to, Rank-A could easily create their own Guilds and become a Guildmaster.

Thus, they had no reason to give time to small and medium-sized Guilds.

Then…

Unmeasurable magic power means Rank-S.

Rank-S, not Rank-A.

It was the difference of a single letter, but it meant that he was among the

the nine strongest hunters in South Korea.

‘Well, if you put it in, now it's ten, right?’

"Hunter Rank-S tenth ..."

He was not a target of small and medium-sized Guilds that could think of recruiting him.

Gulp

All they could do was secretly gulp down repeatedly.

He was truly a treasure that was simply beyond their reach.

However,

'Wait…'

‘Is this not my chance?’

Some of the more astute scouts thought up the idea of cowardice.

What if they reported information from Rank-S to large Guilds for

earn money?

The cost of a Rank-S contract surpassed several tens of billions at the very least.

If they can get only 1% of that cost as a searcher's fee,

they can retire at that time.

And if they were lucky, they could even act as the man's personal manager.

Didn't some personal manager Hunter Rank-S receive a Porsche as a reward

a birthday?

‘... Should I try it?’

"If it's me, I can do it ..."

"I have to close my eyes and do it."

In that short time, many scouts became brash.

Failure will result in momentary humiliation, while success will

change their lives.

The scouts glanced at each other and slowly began to move.

Suddenly, someone pointed to the entrance of the building, and,

"Huh? There…!"

Was it because he was holding his breath in anxiety or something else?

Everyone turned to where the man pointed.

The eyes of the scouts were wide open.

"Damn it!"

Everyone recognized the fashionable man who entered Building B.

"Choi ... Choi Jongin?"

"Why are Guildmaster 'Hunters' here?"

Choi Jongin ignored their attention, and lightly pressed down on his clothes,

then walk towards Jin Woo.

‘She may not come after knowing it.It's too fast.'

"Has that man already contracted with the Hunters Guild?"

‘Does the Hunters Guild know? Gosh, the number one Guild must be something else"

The scouts nodded in understanding.

Fortunately they did not approach Jin Woo.

If they were discovered by Choi Jongin in the process, what would happen to them?

The situation finally seemed like it was going to be resolved.

"The picture looks complete with Choi Jongin here."

"Damn it, it's so cool."

‘To think that the Guildmaster Hunters Guild itself would come ... Shit, the Rank-S

definitely be in a different class.’

Although disappointed, the scouts watched the meeting between the Guildmasters of

South Korea's number one Guild and the new Rank-S in anticipation.

Meanwhile.

Jin Woo looks at Choi Jongin's arrival and sighs in relief.

'Thank you God.'

She was confused as to what to do when all the attention was on her.

Fortunately, Choi Jongin has appeared and taken that attention.

Jin Woo silently thanked the man in his heart

and walk through it.

Choi Jongin turned back.

'uh? Wait, this isn't. ’

The man quickly stops Jin Woo, and,

"Excuse me,"

Jin Woo stopped and turned around, though,

"...?"

Seeing Jin Woo, a light appeared in Choi Jongin's eyes,

"This man is the tenth ..."

He has told the director that he wants to come and see what happens,

but honestly, Choi Jongin was well aware of what was happening here.

‘They are very noisy about “measurement impossible ”, how can I not hear?’

Therefore, he got a big windfall.

The man in front of him was an S-Rank.

Rank-S!

If Choi Jongin could bring this person to the Hunters Guild, his Guild would have three

Hunters Rank-S's.

Forget Korea, they could stand shoulder to shoulder with the best Guilds around the world.

He could not hold back the saliva on that thought.

‘There is no need for me to borrow a gauge.’

Just by looking into Jin Woo's eyes, Choi Jongin could sense the other party's strength.

He was undoubtedly the highest ranked Hunter.

No need to wait three days.

Choi Jongin started with a refreshing smile,

"I am the Guildmaster Hunters Guild, Choi Jongin"

Jin Woo knows a lot.

The man's face was plastered all over the media.

He was curious why this celebrity spoke to him at the Association, but he did not

have time to ask.

Jin Woo glanced at the clock on the wall, and,

"Now it's 5:50."

Taking into account the travel time, he barely had time.

As Jin Woo put on an impatient expression, Chooi Jongin continued, a little confused,

"Ah, whoa ... I heard you just received your rank"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Do you perhaps have a Guild in mind to join?"

"No"

With that answer, a bright smile appeared on Choi Jongin's face.

"Yes, this is good."

He imagined their future together.

"One of the top three Guilds in the world, Hunters Guild."

Oh how sweet it sounded in his mind.

From today on, it's no longer just a dream.

'You're mine.'

Choi Jongin calmed his heart and said the words he thought he would

into history, though,

“I want to discuss with you about it.Can you set aside some time? "

"Can't, sorry."

And with that, Jin Woo left the building.

"..."

Everything happened so fast.

Choi Jongin is so shocked that he can't even stop Jin Woo.

Association employees and scouts realized what was happening and fell into chaos.

"What?"

"Has Guildmaster Choi Jongin just been rejected?"

"He just got ignored!"

The inside of the building became violent with chatter.

"Director Park"

"Hmm?"

The director replied with an awkward expression.

"Did I just mess up my introductions?"

"Er ... That's .. I'm not sure."

Of course, the director had heard every word from beginning to end.

However, this is not the time to answer it directly.

When the director closed his mouth, the dumbfounded Choi Jongin scratched the side of his face.

"Am I too strong ...?"

Well, no need to be disappointed.

He was clearly ahead of the other Guilds in this regard.

"The only one who knows about the new Rank-S is me"

The re-measurement will happen three days from now.

He has time until the official announcement.

"I had to plan a meeting with him somehow until then ..."

Is there a good method?

While in contemplation, Choi Jongin finds someone running with

all my energy heading towards the Association building.

‘... Wait, it?’

It was a familiar face.

When the man opened the glass door and entered the building, Choi Jongin greeted him

with shock,

"Guildmaster Baek, why are you ...?"

Baek Yoonho also looked at Choi Jongin and opened his eyes wide in surprise,

"Guildmaster Choi?"

Choi Jongin quickly read Baek Yoonho's expression.

"That's the face of a man who was caught red-handed ..."

There was no way the man had come here after receiving the news.

The timing doesn't fit.

"Baekho's office is too far from the Hunter Association ..."

That means ... Baek Yoonho knew from the beginning what was going to happen here.

"Is he aware of the man's whereabouts?"

No, if that was the case, Baek Yoonho would not let him retest

like these.

"If I were to realize such an existence, I would have made a contract before

let him take the retest"

At that moment, scattered pieces of the puzzle began to gather at Choi Jongin's head.

'...Could it?'

Baekho Guild's.

Incidents during new recruitment training.

Red Gates's.

The unknown pnolong.

... And this new Rank-S.

"It looks like Baekho is receiving help from someone they don't want to reveal."

“New recruits who haven't even received a rating? Or criminals who can't

reveal their identities? "

Everything falls into place

... found.

"The man."

As a sign of how hard he ran here, Baek Yoonho gasped for breath.

Choi Jongin realizes it is not that Baek Yoonho has left the man alone;

Baek Yoonho couldn't prevent the man from taking a retest.

Choi Jongin turned to Baek Yoonho with a smile,

"You didn't get it."

I'm different from you.

"Thank you for the opportunity."

Without saying anything to the man, Choi Jongin walked past Baek Yoonho.

Baek Yoonho looked around.

She doesn't see Jin Woo.

"Am I late?"

Baek Yoonho started on Choi Jongin disappearing in the distance and sighed deeply.

"Sigh-t"

Of all days, why would a Hunters Guild master be here ... Baek Yoonho scratched the part

behind his head and say,

"Everything gets complicated"

________________________________________

The patient visit hour of Seoul Ilshin Hospital lasts until 8 p.m.

"You're patient caretaker Park Gyunghae?"

"Yes"

“Visits no problem.You know the visiting hours? "

"Yes, I know"

Jin Woo heads to the hospital room where his mother is.

In a hurry, he managed to arrive on time.

After opening the door and entering, Jin Woo saw his mother.

The woman was lying on the bed as if she were sleeping.

His son was quietly sitting next to him.

"Just look at her like this, it feels like she can wake up any minute ..."

Sleep that you won't wake up from.

It was a disease that emerged after Gates started appearing.

"They say there are at least ten other patients with the same condition here"

Jin Woo gently held her mother's hand.

"Mr ..."

Fortunately, the life support device powered from the magic core protects

his body was not weakened, even after years of unconsciousness.

However, magic cores are expensive.

Just the monthly cost of the magic core used to run that machine alone was already

more than five million won.

Without the support provided by the Association, it was not an amount that could be paid

a man in his 20s.

Thanks to working as a Hunter under the Association, Jin Woo can hold his mother's hand

like these.

But everything is different now.

Instead of just being satisfied with the fact that his mother is still alive, Jin Woo gets a

way to cure it.

"The Holy Water of Life".

The medicine he knew of thanks to the System.

Whether it will work or not is for later problems.

Right now, the priority is to make it.

"I'll save you"

The mother who unites the family with her weak body after their father disappears.

They'll soon be able to see their mother whole again.

"Please wait until that happens"

How long has he lived by his mother's side?

Some time later, Jin Woo finally got up.

After a long visit, Jin Woo quietly left the patient room and closed the door.

When he turned around, he met a familiar face.

"As I thought ... were you the one who took care of the monsters in the Double Dungeon that day?"

The deep voice.

Sharp eyes.

It was the Head of the Hunter Surveillance Department (HSD) Woo Jincheol.

Jin Woo did not answer.

He had no reason or desire to do so.

Instead, he asked a question, he,

"How did you know I was here?"

"I theorized about places where Hunter-nim might go

calling the hospital, they told me you were here”

The one providing her mother's hospital bills is the Association.

"Well, not anymore."

Maybe the first place they'll look is here.

That is HSD fast tracking.

Jin Woo smiled widely and spoke, saying,

"Are you here to ask me about that day again?"

Woo Jincheol shook his head, saying,

"No sir."

"Why then?"

“There is someone who wants to meet Hunter-nim.Can you accompany me? "

The Hunter Surveillance Department.

The main function of HSD is to monitor and catch Hunter who is doing wrong.

To the Hunters, they were not friendly existences.

Same with Jin Woo,

"Is that an order?"

"No sir."

Woo Jincheol took off his sunglasses and bent his upper body

in an angle of almost 90 degrees,

"That's a request."

"..."

To think that the fierce-looking Woo Jincheol would respect him a lot.

After thinking for a moment, Jin Woo decides he will at least find out who it is, but,

"Who would want to see me?"

Woo Jincheol raised his head, saying,

"Association President, Hunter Go Gunhee-nim"

Woo Jincheol pointed to a corner at the end of the hall.

"The president of the association is here."
