Civil Service Hunter’s S-level Resignation Log - Chapter 26

(T/N: some terms in this chapter will be changed from previous ones, just be aware)

“Uh, um… this request isn’t strange or difficult, is it?”

Maybe it’s because she had heard that the condition for regressing was death.

When the weak-minded Seora asked, Kang Sejun burst into laughter.

“You can refuse. I’m just saying.”

“Well. That’s enough.”

If he didn’t mind her refusing, there was nothing she’d lose. It’s not like it costs money to worry.

“Okay, then I’ll take care of half of it. I’ll give you all the horny ores, so calm down. Remember, you came in here to figure out what I’m capable of.”

The sharp eyes sank again.

“But you take the half. I want to see your skills.”

“Okay, go ahead. I’ll cut you some slack and look at it once since money is at stake.”

“…That’s very generous of you.”

Sejun snorted as if this was absurd, but stepped forward.

Unlike his sculptural face, his scarred hands stretched forward. A reddish light flashed through the air.

As Sejun flicked his finger down, a red rain of fire poured down towards the monster.

“You’re really good at controlling firepower.”

Seora squatted down and began to watch.

It looked like it was pouring down without any plans, but it was actually penetrating through the body of the rhino.

Avoiding all the ores in the horn that would cause Seora’s wrath if they were damaged in any way.

“Definitely, mages are specialized in wide-area damage.”

It didn’t take much time before half of the ore rhinos had already died spraying a burnt smell.

“Well, if you kill them at once like this, I don’t think I can fully understand the skills of an L-Rank.”

“You can’t make easy things difficult. That’s how overwhelming it was.”

“So you’re saying that you’re incredibly strong now, right? All right, that’s the assessment.”

“Don’t you know how to speak better?”

“Oh, that’s not what I want to hear from regressor-ssi, who spoke informally at first sight.”1

“…….”

There’s no way he had anything to say in return. Seora giggled as she frowned while closing her mouth.

“It’s my turn now, isn’t it? Actually, I don’t have anything to show you. It has only been a few days since I re-awakened as an S-Rank, so I haven’t figured out all my skills yet.”

“The incident from the werewolf dungeon? I heard about it. Did you survive thanks to a contract with a sacrament?”

“God performed miracles for me. Maybe the reason we never met in the past was because the miracle didn’t happen.”

“You are talking about that so casually?”

“Why?”

Seora tilted her head as if she didn’t understand.

“It’s not like I remember it, either. The important thing is that a miracle happened to me and I am now alive. The present is always the most important to me.”

Seora grinned and picked up her gun.

The monsters were high in numbers, she only had one shot, and she had to deal with them on her own.

And unlike the werewolves, there was a handicap since the ores in the horn shouldn’t be damaged.

How should we do it?

Let’s increase the weapon numbers first.

“Hit Transformation.”

Seora tapped on the sniper rifle she was holding. The red-glowing hit split into two. Two heavy handguns filled Seora’s hand.

“A transformation weapon?”

Sejun opened his eyes wide.

“You got something so rare in just a few days after becoming an S-Rank? A regeneration jacket, a weapon that can transform. Did you catch a diamond sacrament?”

Oh, my. Seora rolled her eyes.

Anyways, Kang Sejun wanted to know her skills and she had nothing to hide about them. But she didn’t think transformation weapons were that rare.

Considering it’s not even a transformation, but a free-material transformation.….

‘I’ll have to hide it.’

【Administrator: (*ꈍ꒳*)】

Woah. Right. He had given her a precious thing. Seora, who smiled at the cute administrator, took a step toward the monster.

“Deploy Field.”

【Skill, ‘Field Control’ has been activated!】

A red cube was created in the air at the same time the skill was activated. The red-colored left eye specified the coordinates.

【Zoning complete. Temporarily taking control of the specified field!】

【Hit responds to the skill ‘field control’. Increasing destructive power. Increasing hit rate.】

【 Weapon ‘Hit’s bullets are converted appropriately!】

It was the same skill, but it was different from the time with the Harpoon Snake. Dozens of tiny cubes aimed at the monster’s forehead.

Unfortunately, however, the number of cubes was a little short.

“Is it because the skill proficiency is still low?”

Although it was unfortunate, the best idea was to just focus on reducing the number of enemies right now. Seora jumped right through the monsters.

Bang, bang! Magic bullets poured out of the twin pistols she held in both hands.

It looks like she was shooting roughly, but Hit, who was responding to the skill, blew their forehead at the slightest touch against the cube.

It was so accurate that even the horn ore was not damaged.

Every time Seora moved fast, the monsters whose heads exploded weakly collapsed.

“I don’t think this is just a sniper characteristic.”

Sejun, who was left behind, watched Seora’s movements.

The first time she killed the harpooned snake, she was holding a sniper gun, so of course he had thought that her characteristic was a sniper.

However, her skills were very mixed for it to just be a simple fighter or sniper.

There was only one thing that specified space, rather than increasing destructive power or accuracy.

“Is it a unique ability?”

The main characteristics for the awakened people were classified into four categories.

The world of combat, magic, healing, and unique ability.

Unlike the other 3 worlds, the unique ability system had unique abilities that were different from the others.

Therefore, a very few awakeners could awaken with these characteristics, that’s how strong it was.

Song Hanna, the unofficial number 1 in Korea Rankings, and Jueun, the number 2 in the ranking, had also developed their own unique abilities.

“I really need to get her involved somehow.”

Considering that there were very few awakeners that dealt with space, it would be better to target Yoon Seora rather than Jueun or Song Hanna.

Besides, there were many times where he had failed to attract those two.

The reason he offered to sell the goods to the guardian spirit guild in person for her was for the sake of not cutting ties with her.

It hadn’t been long since she became an S-Rank, so her movements were still rough, but time could fix that.

‘If you look at the potential, it’s at least the best in Korea.’

For a way to hold onto his bond with Yoon Seora. It seemed he would  have to properly get some money out of the guardian spirit guild.

Yoo Sueun, the greedy guardian spirit guild leader.

Of course, she had a lot of money since she had both a healer and a mage, so Sejun decided to forget about his conscience.

The important thing was to prepare for the future.

“Ah, I’ve used up all my skills.”

Seora, who didn’t know that Kang Sejun was planning to somehow raise money for her, clicked her tongue when her skill was canceled.

It was harder to activate it again because it consumed more mana than when she caught the harpoon snake.

She knew now. Cutting the cube into several pieces used up more mana than just having combined to one. Okay. she gets it.

“Hit Transformation.”

The twin pistols merged and turned back into a sniper rifle. Seora shouted loudly at Sejun.

“There, Mage-ssi! Don’t just look around, make a little foothold up there on the wall!”

“Regressor-ssi, Mage-ssi. You’re speaking at your own convenience.”

Sejun pounded on the wall while frowning.

High on the cave wall, the soil started clumping together, creating a small foothold for one person to climb on.

“Oh, you really can use other attributes. Is it because you are an L-Rank?

“It’s because of the title effect. I realized it during the fourth round of regression.”

“The hell is your title?”

“The Omniscient Mage. It’s an L-grade title.”

Seora, who stood on the foothold and aimed at the rhino monster, stared blankly at Sejun’s words.

She checked his information once again.

【Information on the Awakened】

Name: Kang Sejun (L Rank)

Title: The Wheel of Eternal Bridle (EX), Omniscient Mage (L grade), Hell’s flame (S grade), Indomitable Will (A grade), Loser of Humiliation (A grader)

Characteristics: Fighter mage — Flame attribute

Contractual Sacrament: The Hourglass of Destiny

Special note: Regressor (5th round)

In the past, she was surprised by the word “regressor” and didn’t have time to look at anything else, but there were many other interesting things.

The wheel of eternal bridle must be related to regression, and the only L-Grade title, Omniscient Mage, caught her eye later on.

‘Wow, what do you mean, omniscient? So he can use all the characteristics? This man is a fraud too. What the hell is a loser of humiliation?’

It was quite different from the other titles.

Maybe that also had something to do with his regression.

Now that she thought back to it, when she first met him in front of the grade 2 dungeon, he had a very angry face.

Seora glanced at Sejun. How did this guy end up regressing?

What else was he trying to achieve while regressing?

‘I can feel it. I can definitely feel that I shouldn’t know the answer to that.’

The unique ominous feeling that belonged to an office worker who would notice annoying things that interfere with leaving work on time and vacation surrounded her body.

‘Yeah, alright. I got it. I should never get involved with regressor-ssi for a long time. But money is important, so let’s just shut our eyes for this incident.’

As she always said, Seora’s safety was her top priority.

“Well, let’s start with the horn ore.’

Seora pointed her gun at the remaining ore rhinos.

Obviously she was high up in the air, so she had a good clear view, this was the way it should be for snipers.

She pulled the trigger towards the rhino’s that she could see through the scope.

Another one shot, one kill. The crackling sound of the gun couldn’t be any cooler.

***

“Come on, L-Rank-ssi. Then please take good care of my money.”

Seora collected all the horn ores with a happy face.

She carefully examined whether there were any scratches before handing them all over to Kang Sejun.

At her glowing face, Kang Sejun put the horn ores in his inventory without a word.

“I’ll tell you about the negotiation process with the Guardian Spirit guild in real time, so let’s keep in touch.”

The two perfectly exchanged numbers before leaving the gate.

Of course, Seora was planning to block Sejun immediately after the deal.

“It’s been a long time. The chief must think it’s weird.”

With her jacket, hit and gloves all in her inventory, Seora put on her naked suit again.

After tidying up her hair and getting rid of the dust, the image of the miner blinded by money disappeared and once again took the form of a perfect civil servant.

Seora, who went out of the gate as it was, stood confidently in front of Do Junyoung.

“We’ve completed our grade 3 dungeon attack.”

Seora, who was looking at Do Junyoung, was panting as if she was tired.

However, her two black eyes shined with joy as if they had endured and finally made it.

Sejun looked at her with a blank face as if in disbelief.

He didn’t know where the person who was just laughing crazy about the magic stones had disappeared to.

Ssi is a korean honorific used to refer to someone who you respect or has a higher status than you, similar to Mr. or Ms. ↑
