Civil Service Hunter’s S-level Resignation Log - Chapter 19

It was a man.

Young, quite tall, handsome like a sculpture, and, she wasn’t sure why, looked very angry.

Seora’s face hardened for a moment.

‘What? Why did we make eye contact? Did he recognize me? That can’t be true.’

How was he looking at her when she was so far away, and was even hiding? Could it be that he was a strong person so her presence couldn’t be hid?

No, that can’t be. Because of her work as a civil servant, she had memorised all the personal information of the strong.

She could guarantee, Seora had never seen such a person before.

‘Oh, right. Am I still wearing the gas mask?’

The situation was urgent, so she had no time to take it off even after she came out of the dungeon.

Thanks to that, even if he had seen through the secret, he would not have seen her hidden face.

Still, just in case, Seora decided to leave her seat right away.

At the same time he used her haste skill, she jumped high into the air.

Before the S-Ranks returned to the association, she had to hurry back.

***

When the attackers took care of all the remaining snakes and nest eggs that were left and came out, their faces were severely hardened.

However, it wasn’t comparable to how it was once they saw the scene that unfolded in front of the gate.

“What the hell is this……….”

Kang Hanseo was speechless. Likewise, Yoo Sueun, who opened her eyes wide, clicked her tongue.

“It’s shocking that the monster evolved into a beast, but I didn’t expect it’s heads to explode before we could handle it.”

“H-how many people can blow a boss beast’s head like this?”

“It won’t be possible unless it’s the association president or Jueun here. ……It’s a problem because it’s not either.”

Jueun was always with them, and Song Hanna couldn’t have been here. So who the hell blew the boss beast’s head?

“It looks like one person killed it at once.”

Jueun, who is good at reconnaissance and analyzing as a Ranger, quickly identified the body just by looking at it once.

Everyone’s faces got darker.

Song Hanna and Jueun had the best skills in Korea, but it was impossible for them to catch a grade 2 boss in such a short time.

“Did you all see the message when the boss beast died?”

【Boss Beast of the Grade 2 dungeon ‘Cradle of the harpoon snake’ is dead!】

【Maximum Contributor: Anonymous (S-grade)】

An S-rank hunter who claims to be anonymous. They all knew each other. Why were they hiding their identity now?

“One. One person that we don’t know well. S rank, who went abroad almost immediately upon awakening.”

“He couldn’t have come to Korea without an emergency. The mercenary leader who is holding him is not that easy.”

“Isn’t it urgent enough if there’s a grade 2 dungeon?”

“He can’t come so soon.”

The talk was back to square one.

“Ah! Y-you’re finally here!”

Jung Taeseok and Shin Jaemin ran toward the S-ranks who were looking at the body with serious faces.

They also had wounds all over their bodies, perhaps because they fought with the beast.

“What happened after we went in? Who killed this beast?”

“Well, we don’t know.”

Do Junyoung asked urgently, but both shook their heads with embarrassed faces.

“It was a skill I had never seen before. A red cube wrapped around the beast’s head and blew it. It was a terrible sight. Even more than the skills of the association president.”

Association president Song Hanna’s ability was psychokinesis.

She was someone who preferred smashing and tearing down her enemies, but it was scarier than that.

“All I could say is that it was overwhelming. Maybe the S-rank ranking will change.”

Jeong Taeseok expressed his opinion after looking at Jueun’s face. Jueun had a rather interesting face.

“Please secure all the CCTVs around here. Whether they are unregistered or a re-awakener, we have to find out.”

“No, give up. You won’t be able to find the person hiding with a camera.”

At that moment, a cold voice came over them as if pouring cold water on them.

At the same time, the faces of the S-ranks who were looking at the beast’s body turned blue.

“What the hell, crazy.”

“Uh……?”

Yoo Sueun uttered abusive language, and Kang Hanseo became pale. Do Junyoung and Jueun’s faces were also stiff.

The gazes of all for S-Ranks gathered in one place.

A very handsome man was approaching slowly.

The dark black iris, which was indistinguishable from the black hair and pupils, was making the man’s beauty shine even more.

If it was any other circumstance. Yoo Sueun would have been delighted, saying how rare a handsome man like this was, but now she was glaring at him.

From the man, there was an extraordinary energy oozing out.

This overwhelming atmosphere overshadowed even the S-ranks who had just come out of a battle.

Since they were all more alert than usual, they noticed it quickly.

Oh, this man had stronger power than anyone they had seen.

Even more than Song Hanna, who had protected Korea for a long time.

“What are you?!”

Yoo Sueun, who could not bear the strange sensation of being weighed down by the power, screamed.

“Guild leader Yoo Sueun, calm down.”

Then Jueun stopped her and stepped forward.

“…Excuse me. We’re a bit sensitive right after the battle, so please understand.”

Unlike his firm face, his tone of asking for understanding was polite. As if they were honoring the strong.

Jueun reached out a hand towards him.

“I’m Jueun, the leader of the Eternal Guild. If possible, may I ask your name?”

The man’s eyes turned towards the hand. It was a rough hand with calluses that came from holding the bow.

Somehow the man’s gaze at it seemed to sink a little. As if it was sad or missing something.

“Kang Sejun, I think all the S-ranks felt it anyway, so let’s not waste time and get straight to the point.”

“What?”

“The one who dealt with the beast was a woman. But it won’t be captured by CCTV because she was hiding with Grade L equipment. It’s no use looking.”

“You didn’t kill it?”

Yoo Sueun’s eyes became fierce at once.

If he had enough power to make his skin sting just by looking at him, he could understand if he had defeated the beast in one try.

However it wasn’t him but a woman, so they couldn’t help but have doubts.

“Didn’t you just take care of it but are trying to get away?”

“Why would I be such a nuisance? Won’t people realise my power after seeing me anyways?”

Yoo Sueun bit her mouth with an annoyed face. Jueun, who was still listening to the conversation, intervened again.

“You didn’t see her face?”

“She was wearing a gas mask. And I’d like to ask, she definitely followed the boss beast out of the gate. And yet you don’t know anything?”

The faces of the 4 S-ranks hardened again. Do Junyoung hurriedly looked at Taeseok.

“Did someone else approach the gate after we entered?”

“What? Oh, no. I never saw it.….”

“I said she was hiding with a grade L equipment. She was wearing the regeneration jacket. How can a non-S-rank person notice it?”

A regeneration jacket

The equipment was expensive and difficult to produce, so very few people around the world had it. The one who wore it……

“Since she came out of the gate I thought you guys would know it, but if I knew this would happen, I would just look for it alone.”

The man clicked his tongue, saying it had become a nuisance. Do Junyoung stepped forward.

“I’m Do Junyoung, the head of the management office of the Korean Awakened Management. Excuse me, but are you an awakened person who has officially registered with the association?”

“See, I knew it would be so annoying like this.”

Kang Sejunn grumbled, but his eyes were once again greeted with a faint delight, just like when he saw Jueun.

“Yes, I was an A-rank at the time.”

“Then I’ll have to ask you to re-measure it.”

Kang Sejun was certain that he would never be A-level. He nodded his head.

“Let’s go now.”

“administrator Shin Jaemin, Chief Jeong Taeseok, please clean up. I’ll report to the association president. Let’s go.”

Do Junyoung took the lead first, and Kang Sejun followed. It wasn’t just the two people.

The other three S-ranks followed suit as if it were natural.

Do Junyoung frowned.

“The three of you should go back now. Or have an interview with the reporters that are waiting.”

“Do longitude! you do the interview! I’m coming back to the association!”

However, Yoo Sueun scolded the deputy leader by telling him not to act ridiculous

“I wonder what the hell he is, whether he really killed the boss without us knowing, and what his real rank is. But do you think he will come back here? Hurry up and lead the way. I need to see the results of the measurement with my own eyes.”

“I’m honestly curious, so I’d like to follow you.”

Following Yoo Sueun, Kang Hanseo raised her hand.

Do Junyoung, whose face was filled with sighs down to his neck, looked at Jueun with wide eyes. But he also betrayed Do Junyoung.

“Let’s get going.”

In the end, Do Junyoung had to head to the association with three S-ranks, who were like luggage, and a man who he didn’t know what the hell was.

* * *

“Oh, that was close.”

It was not until she arrived near the association that Seora took off her gas mask. Maybe because I was nervous, I broke out in a cold sweat.

“More than that, administrator, don’t you think you should tell me if you are about to one shot a grade 2 boss beast?”

Seora blamed the air for nothing.

She was glad people didn’t get hurt more, but with that much power, it would be talked about over and over again!

【Administrator: ( ‘⌣’)/(´._.`)】

“Is comfort all you can do!”

【Administrator: (´._.`)】

Now he looked sullen. Wanting to be the one to get comforted instead.

“No, I’m not blaming you. I just wish you’d mentioned it.”

Seora, who quickly became weak, gently comforted him.

【Administrator: (*´∪`)】

Oh, my God. He was smiling like that’s good. She burst out laughing in vain, feeling like the feelings of struggle had disappeared.

After tidying herself up and going back to the office after putting the jacket in the inventory, Song Hanna was waiting for her.

“Are you back?”

“Yes, I delivered the weapon well through the guild leader of eternal. What happened? Did you hear anything?”

Seora asked nervously, pretending not to know anything.

Fortunately, Song Hanna shrugged and answered, maybe she didn’t feel anything strange.

“The raid ended before you came. S Ranks will be back to the association soon.”

“What? What do you mean? It hasn’t been long since I’ve been there. How can a grade 2 dungeon attack be……?”

As the days went by, her acting skills seem to only be getting better.

【Administrator: ԅ( ิ ▽ ิ ԅ)】

She turned a blind eye to the administrator’s cheeky face.

“Well, I’ll have to hear Do’s report. Come to think of it, I was told he is with an amazing guest. I’m very curious as to what kind of guest it will be.”

However, Seora couldn’t help but be puzzled by that statement.

What do you mean a guest? As soon as she caught the boss beast,she ran away without looking back, but before that, there was no one she would call a guest.

“You didn’t see anyone strange there?”

“Yes, I got out of there right after I delivered the weapon to the Eternal guild leader.”

At that time, Song Hanna’s secretary, who was next to her, informed her.

“Association president, they’re here.”

“You emptied the measuring room, didn’t you?”

“Yes.”

‘Measuring room? The place where they measure awakeners?’

Why did they suddenly empty the area? Was the guest a new awakener?

【Administrator: ( ‘⌣’)/(´._.`)】

Seora’s face hardened at the emoticon that came back.

That’s weird. This wasn’t the time to comfort you. So why?

‘What? What’s wrong? What’s happening that you’re comforting me all of a sudden? What’s going on?’

【Administrator: (;¬_¬)】

Oh, my God. The administrator was avoiding her eyes. Seora became really nervous.

Guest. Who the hell was the guest coming with Do Junyoung that made even the administrator avoid her eyes?

‘Should I leave now?’

Seora looked around with a puzzled look, but it was too late.

The door of the elevator at the end of the hall of the office opened with a ding.

Thump thump. Seora’s eyes turned to the sound of approaching footsteps.

Crazy!

And as she looked. She saw the face of the man who caught her among the S-ranks who she had gotten used to!

Why the hell was he here, that piece of handsome man she saw in front of the grade 2 gate?
