10 Minutes ago.
In front of the Hunter Association's office.
Because his plan to make his ranking test interesting failed, Lee Minsung
decide to say something that will have a big impact by panicking,
"I, Lee Minsung, regardless of what rank I will get, I will retire from
become a celebrity and work as a Hunter for people!"
In the dark atmosphere after Go Gunhee's performance, this was the actor's last attempt
to improve his image.
Fortunately, it worked.
"What?"
"Lee Minsung is retiring?"
"Despite its level?"
The atmosphere was back in a moment.
flash flash flash flash!
Many cameras turned their heads towards Lee Minsung, and the eager reporter launched
series questions.
"Lee Minsung-ssi, over here!"
"Are you saying you're going to throw away the title of Top Asian Star and become a Hunter
low ranking ?!"
"Are you going to throw away everything you get as an actor?!"
"Yes!"
Lee Minsung was very satisfied with the attention focused on him again.
"No matter what my results are, even if I receive a low rank, I will respond
love everyone and fight with monsters"
Of course, it was a blatant lie.
Just two years.
He plans to "work" as a Rank-A Hunter with a high salary of only two years and
then help the Grim Reaper Guild marketing.
He had already begun to receive negative attention for avoiding conscription with help
his father, and the shameful truth slowly surfaced here and there about him.
This is the best way to suppress that negative truth and improve its image again.
Walk away from the top to protect the people with his life!
It was a chance to get a shield from negative rumors for the rest of his life.
As if satisfied that everything went as he wished, Lee Minsung happily
continue the interview with the reporters,
“And here is the Grim Reaper Guildmaster, Lim Taegyu.He is the one who will help me
in my service to the country"
It was then that the reporters all became excited and focused on Lee Minsung's words, saying,
ring ~ ring ~ ring ~
Cellphone's dead.
The reporters glanced at each other.
The owner of the phone quickly turned off his phone and lowered his head in embarrassment.
The voice stopped the atmosphere for a bit, but Lee Minsung ignored it and continued,
Suddenly,
beep beep beep
Another voice sounded.
"Jeez,"
"Whose phone is this?"
"Isn't your phone supposed to be switched off during the interview?"
"Whoever it is, please turn it off"
Seeing the opportunity to show off her kind-hearted behavior, Lee Minsung
smile and talk, and,
"I'm fine.Why doesn't everyone make that call quickly? "
laughing - sfx
At his wit, laughter rang out here and there from the reporters.
But this is just the beginning.
shake shake shake shake shake
Suddenly, the phone started ringing, vibrating, and beeping left and right.
"What?"
"Huh? Me either?"
Even the first reporter to quickly turn off her phone realized something was up
is wrong.
The reporters who actually answered their call opened their eyes wide
in surprise, though,
"News from the Association?"
"Why are you telling me this now ?!"
In haste, the reporters quickly accessed the Association's website from
their cellphones.
As if pre-prepared, the front page is decorated with new posts.
It was the image and name of the new Hunter Rank-S.
Test results announced today.
"But didn't they say the testing room was already booked in the morning?"
"Isn't it because of Lee Minsung?"
"Then the reason why the testing room was ordered was not because of Lee Minsung but Hunter
This new Rank-S?"
And with that, the face of a man flashed across the minds of the reporters.
Could it?!
The man who just followed the President of the Go Gunhee Association into the building!
The only other candidate who could use the testing room today was the man.
If they rushed over now, they could catch a glimpse of it!
"Eh,W-journalist-nims?"
With faces like predators targeting prey, the reporters ignored
Lee Minsung and ran towards the Association building.
chaaaarge
Woo Jincheol quickly signals, and Hunter HSD reaches out their hand and
creating barricades.
"Let's go in!"
"You said there's a new Rank-S! You guys should have told us things like this before?! ”
"Please, let us in!"
The reporters tried hard to break through, but ordinary people could not
doing anything against the walls made by the high Rank Hunter.
"W-what the fuck is this ?!"
After being left like trash, Lee Minsung looked at her manager with
confused expression.
The manager quickly picked up his phone.
"Rank-S?"
Color left Lee Minsung's face.
"Of all the days, Why should Rank-S appear today ?!"
He has become a Rank-A Hunter.
He will attract the attention and love of the entire nation today.
Thinking that his plan will be destroyed by the sighting of a new Rank-S.
Lee Minsung shook his head in disbelief.
"No, there must be some mistake"
S-Rank is not an ordinary thing that will happen every day.
Maybe one of the reporters will know.
At the right time, Lee Minsung saw a reporter climb the stairs a little
slower than everyone has.
It was the same journalist who was discussing tomorrow's headlines with him.
"Hey, reporter Lim!"
Even at Lee Minsung's begging voice, the reporter hurriedly replied and ran,
"Oh, Lee Minsung-ssi, I'll talk to you later"
"Huh? Reporter Lim, journalist Lim! ”
When the man disappeared into the distance, Lee Minsung could hear the reporters words
talking on the phone,
"... Yes, headline tomorrow,‘Air eye Rank-E, swept by Rank-S.Yes, bet it's there now"
With the strength missing from her eyes, Lee Minsung looked around her.
There's nothing left.
The actor fell to the ground.
"What the fuck…"
While the man uttered that in disbelief, the doors of the Association opened and
South Korea's 10th Rank-S Hunter shows his face.
flash flash flash flash click flash click click click flash flash flash!
Jin Woo opened his eyes wide.
'What the fuck…?'
The camera takes pictures of Jin Woo endlessly.
Jin Woo's face filled the entire screen.
Behind him was Baek Yoonho, who looked a little apologetic, and by his side was
Choi Jongin, who smiled widely.
Lunchtime.
The team of miners who had finished their morning work comfortably sat down
here and there, and eat their lunch.
Even though they were only miners, because the job never resulted in an accident
or trouble, their moods are carefree and happy.
There are Hunters who fill their plates with food, Hunters who spend their free time
on their phones, and Hunter who even enjoyed a drink during the day with a snack.
"Huh?"
A Hunter holding his phone suddenly lifted in surprise.
"Isn't this Sung-ssi?"
Lee Sangggu's ears cheerful.
"You're right!"
"Sung-ssi's on the news!"
His hearing is not wrong,
"I know it!"
His face was slightly red from drinking, Lee Sanggu quickly ran over to where his teammates were
congregates.
His mouth did not stop talking on the street,
"I've known that ever since I saw that son of a bitch's eye! Let me see! What evil is
done by a nasty looking shitbag! Let me see it!"
Was it because Lee Sanggu's voice was too loud?
"Sung-ssi?"
"Sung-ssi committed a crime?"
Including Team Leader Bae, all the Hunters from the miner team gathered around.
Jin Woo's face is on it, and under his face, a caption:
[... Follows Hwang Dongseok, then Cha Haein, South Korea's 10th Rank-S Hunter,
Sung Jinwoo-ssi becomes ..]
"WHATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA? !!!!!!!"
Lee Sangggu fainted.
Chairman Yoojin Construction Room.
On the doorstep, Yoo Jinho let out a light sigh,
"Gee-"
Open
Across the open door, his father did not even look up from the documents
which he saw.
"Please come in."
Even when he invited his son, Yoo Myunghan continued to sign the documents
here and there.
Yoo Jinho approached his father.
The man quickly looked at his son's face then returned to his documents.
"He hasn't changed, my father"
In the past, Yoo Jinho would have been suppressed by his father's presence and probably ran away without
say what he said.
But the young man has changed.
"There's something I have to say"
"Is this about Hunter Sung Jin Woo?"
"Yes"
Yoo Myunghan finally raised her head,
"So, how's that-"
Suddenly, Yoo Myunghan's phone rang.
ring ~
"Wait"
Yoo Myunghan raised her hand to silence Yoo Jinho.
Looking at the message on his phone, his eyes widened slightly.
"Well, to think that dad can really be surprised by something"
Yoo Jinho tilted his head.
"... There's something you need to see"
"Huh?"
Instead of explaining, Yoo Myunghan quickly turned on the big TV on the wall.
And the news came up,
[Yes, we just received confirmation.Hunter S-rank revealed today is Hunter
who experienced Double Awareness.We have heard further reports that he has
working as a Rank-E Hunter under the Association.His name is Sung Jin Woo]
The voice of the exuberant reporter gave a clear indication of how
atmosphere in the media.
Yoo Jinho listened quietly until the name "Sung Jin Woo" was uttered.
The young man almost jumped out because of that,
'What?!'
The picture on the screen changed.
A very, very familiar face looked around the scene with an expressionless face.
It was his hyungnim.
‘I know that expression.Hyungnim is upset right now'
After spending a long time next to his hyungnim, Yoo Jinho could read the atmosphere
his heart was even when the man was as expressionless as he was now.
Wait, forget that, Rank-S?!
He always had a high opinion of hyungnim, but Yoo Jinho realized
how much bigger the man was.
At the same time,
"He has that much power, but he still trains in Dungeons every day?"
Respect and admiration overwhelmed Yoo Jinho.
As TV reports continued to name Jin Woo, a strong sense of pride filled the men
the young man who had been watching Jin Woo until now.
beeps
The TV turned off and hyungnim's face disappeared.
Yoo Jinho looked disappointed.
"Then"
His father had asked him to say what he wanted to say.
Yoo Jinho lowered his head and said the words he had prepared,
"I'm sorry, dad.I can't convince hyungnim”
Yoo Myunghan's face darkened,
"... So, what did Hunter Jin Woo say when he refused?"
"Say Hyungnim ..."
Hesitating a little, Yoo Jinho raised his head slightly and continued,
"... He said he would create his own Guild and if I wanted to become the Vice Chairman of the Council,
he allowed me ... ”
flinch
He imagined his father would become angry.
And it made the man's face freeze for a moment.
Then.
grins
Yoo Myunghan laughed silently.
The man known as "Pokerface" showed a change in expression in front of his son.
'Why is he…?'
Yoo Jinho did not dare to ask the reason.
Yoo Myunghan held back her laughter and asked,
"Do you know why I want to create Yoojin's own Guild?"
"Wouldn't it be because Hunter-related businesses have a lot of money to spare
involved ...?"
"Not that."
Yoo Myunghan firmly spoke up,
“If this is money, we have more than enough to last for a dozen generations.
You thought I would start a competition with a large Guild just to earn a little
more than that? ”
Is it not because of money?
Yoo Jinho stared with round eyes.
"Then for what…?"
Yoo Myunghan placed the pen she was holding quietly on top of her desk.
"It's for our protection"
At the sight of his father's serious gaze, Yoo Jinho gulped.
“The strength of the Hunters increases every day.There are even people whose strength is appropriate
with the power of a country”
The so-called “Hunter level Country”, the strongest creature in the world.
Yoo Myunghan spoke of such an existence.
“Even now, there is a Hunter who reigns as king in third world countries.
In a world like this, how long do you think law and public authority can take
protecting us? "
Yoo Myunghan's voice sounded heavy.
However, listening to his father's explanation, Yoo Jinho realizes that he is strangely happy.
Why these?
'A…'
The young man realized that he belonged to the "us" his father talked about.
It felt like the first time in his life he had accepted the love of his father; the young man had not
it can help but feel a little joy.
Yoo Myunghan's explanation continued, though,
“I want to raise a Guild and gather a respectable and reliable Hunter.
Not for money or connections, but to put a Hunter we can trust
as friends around us"
A faint smile appeared on the chairman's face again,
"Looks ... You've found a guy like that"
"Yes"
Yoo Jinho replied without hesitation.
He couldn't fully understand the type of man his father was talking about, but he knew from
it was deep in his heart that his hyungnim was someone he could trust and rely on.
Yoo Myunghan nodded,
"Very good"
"Dad?"
"You've passed"
Passed for what?
Yoo Jinho raised his head.
"I'll leave Yoojin Guild to you"
"Dad?"
“Dragon and raise the Yoojin Guild.Bring a trustworthy, reliable and powerful Hunter
they will be more valuable possessions than money in the future"
Yoo Myunghan spoke in a confident voice.
Hearing that trust in him, Yoo Jinho was overjoyed.
This was probably the first time in his life he was recognized by his father,
"Thank you dad!"
With a bright smile, Yoo Jinho bent his body at a 90-degree angle.
Yoo Myunghan looked at him proudly.
However, the words Yoo Jinho spoke next snapped at the chairman for his excitement,
"But I don't think I can do that"
"Hmm?"
Yoo Myunghan's brows twitched.
With the support of Yoojin's assets, Yoojin Guild has the potential to become one of the Guilds
top in the country.
The company was already in contact with some Rank-S Hunters for registration
potentials.
His son had to realize how great the Guild was in the future.
"And isn't that why he wanted the Guildmaster position?"
To think that he would refuse, what happened?
Is he afraid of that responsibility?
Yoo Myunghan suppressed her disappointment and anger and spoke with great difficulty,
"…Why?"
Yoo Jinho raised his happy face and replied without an ounce of regret,
"I will join the hyungnim Guild"
