And various clan key figures, including him, would likely be there. It seemed that not only the clan’s leadership, but also the offices were located on the top floor of the building.
Ding-
The elevator reached its destination. The 33rd floor, where we had just arrived, was filled with meeting rooms. There was a large conference room in the center, surrounded by various sizes of meeting rooms scattered throughout.
“This is the conference room. Clan-wide important meetings and clan assemblies are held here.”
“An entire floor of meeting rooms… It’s really big.”
“Yes. Small meeting rooms can be used by anyone if they’re requested through the administrative department.”
As I was listening to these mundane explanations from Kang Juyeon, I felt a mix of fascination and awkwardness. Is this something a clan heir does normally? Am I receiving special treatment…?
However, Kang Juyeon’s expression didn’t seem uncomfortable at all. If anything, she had a faint smile.
“From the 32nd to the 30th floor, it’s all archives. Clan documents, meeting materials, and reports are stored there.”
“The 30th floor looks almost like a library.”
“Yes. You can freely borrow Holder papers or related books for a certain period.”
“A real library, huh? Can I borrow books too?”
“…You’re a clan member now too.”
Right. That’s true. It was more natural for Kang Juyeon to refer to me like that.
“And from the 20th floor and below, various teams are divided by departments.”
This time, we went down to the 25th floor. It was 5 floors lower than before. After getting off the elevator, Kang Juyeon pointed to the nameplates hanging around the floor.
“The 25th floor is where Hunting Team 5 is located.”
A familiar term caught my attention. I looked at her with a quizzical expression.
“Oh? If it’s Hunting Team 5, then earlier…”
“Yes. The team led by Holder Kwon Oh-jun that you saw earlier. And…”
Kang Juyeon suddenly avoided my gaze.
“…Do Jae-hyun. The team you’ll be joining from now on.”
“…Excuse me?”
I was momentarily dumbfounded. The Holder who was so talkative earlier is the team leader of my assigned department? It was an unexpected turn of events. ‘He reminds me a bit of Park Jin-woo…’
An older Park Jin-woo as the team leader? Oh, damn. Just imagining it makes my head spin. Despite his age, he had the energy of someone younger. He definitely had a knack for wearing people out.
Kang Juyeon seemed to know that too as she kept avoiding my gaze. There was a reason she confidently claimed to be good at handling him.
Thump, thump-
“…So, you should develop a habit of always checking the team member list first when planning new strategies. You never know when there might be changes according to clan orders…”
Wasn’t there something about even the tiger comes if you mention it?
I stood outside the department, lost in thought. Then, I saw the Holder Kwon Oh-jun I saw earlier. He and a woman with short red hair were walking alongside each other, engaged in a casual conversation.
Short red hair, huh? If Kang Juyeon’s hair was a mix of black and a hint of red, the woman had completely dyed her hair red, making it really stand out.
She was a woman who caught the eye with her appearance alone.
“Oh? Miss, what brings you here?”
“……”
Kwon Oh-jun looked like he recognized him from somewhere and stared pointedly between Kang Juyeon and Do Jae-hyun.
“This is… Oh? Miss and…”
“I’ll introduce him properly. This is C-grade Holder Do Jae-hyun. He’s been specially recruited as an intern clan member through a special hiring process, and he’s also assigned to Hunting Team 5 led by Holder Kwon Oh-jun. For the next two months, Holder Do Jae-hyun will be active as a member of Hunting Team 5. In addition, during this summer break, I will also be active as a member of Hunting Team 5, so Holder Kwon Oh-jun will have to treat me as a team member as well.”
Kang Juyeon’s voice was firm as she made the declaration. On the day of my entry, the assignment of team members had already been finalized. …I didn’t know about this. Kwon Oh-jun looked at Kang Juyeon with a blank expression, then seemed to realize what was going on. He scratched his head in frustration. “…So, the newly assigned team member is this guy?”
“Yes.”
“Wait, miss. Isn’t this a bit much? I clearly requested sufficient personnel support for Team 5, and you’re giving me an intern… and a C-grade Holder at that. On top of that, you’re giving me a two-month deadline. Did the Clan Master approve of this?”
Kang Juyeon nodded her head in response to Kwon Oh-jun’s frustrated question.
“Yes, and your concerns can be alleviated. Not only Holder Do Jae-hyun, but I will also be a team member of Hunting Team 5 during this summer break. So, Holder Kwon Oh-jun, you just need to treat both of us as team members.”
“Is that really… Oh.”
Kwon Oh-jun stopped pressing the issue. The decision had already been made for personnel reassignment. The Clan Master had also approved it. There was no point in dwelling on it. Instead, Kwon Oh-jun looked at me and nodded. “Very well. But we’ll need to verify the newly added team member.”
“…Verify?”
“Yes. Well, Miss, you’ve been quite active as a B-grade Holder within the clan, so you’ll do well, of course. But we should check if our new intern, who’s a C-grade Holder and has just joined, has the skills to not cause trouble while being a part of the team. You’re fine with this arrangement, right?”
“……”
Kwon Oh-jun turned his head to the side and called out to the woman next to him. “Yuna.”
“Yes, Team Leader.”
“Have a dueling match with this intern in the underground training room. You joined recently as a B-grade Holder too, so his level should be around there. Me and Miss will oversee. Any objections?”
“No. I’ll finish it as quickly as possible.”
Yuna, the Holder with red hair, looked at me with fiery eyes. Frankly, I felt overwhelmed by her intensity. ‘Well, that’s beside the point.’ It seemed like I had to duel with this woman… That’s something I hadn’t expected.
…I don’t get a say in this, do I?
