Civil Service Hunter’s S-level Resignation Log - Chapter 40

The news that the two L-rank awakeners had met, put the association into a state of tension.

Especially since it was a meeting between Kang Sejun, who breaks down reporters’ cameras without hesitation, and Seong Jarim, who came back alive from the dungeon and climbed to L-rank with her own strength.

But that was really a useless worry.

“Well, the elasticity of this rubber band is not bad.”

At the corner of the office that no one cared about. Only F-Rank Yoon Seora was looking at the rubber band from EX-Grade slingshot.

Just try taking her time off and fly her off, it had a clear meaning that she won’t forgive them.

The two L-Ranks, who were the only ones who understood the silent threat, did not show any sudden action and quietly held out their hands to each other.

“Kang Sejun.”

“Seong Jarim.”

The moment they held hands, the eyes of the two quickly moved back and forth.

‘Hey, you too?’

‘Hey, me too!’

The two L-ranks, who were being threatened because they found out Yoon Seora’s identity, felt a strong sense of unity with each other.

The office staff, who did not know about it, were relieved saying that the atmosphere was good.

After all, life was a comedy when seen from afar, and a tragedy when seen from close up.

You are here, Kang Sejun-ssi, Seong Jarim-ssi?”

Do Junyoung greeted the two of them.

“The Daegwallyeong dungeon has been dealt with. There was nothing special, and the damage was not great.”

“Thank you. However, that report could be done over the phone, yet came in person…….”

“I want to see who they were.”

Kang Sejun’s gaze, who had been scanning Seong Jarim for a moment, turned to Seora behind her for a moment.

“……Fortunately, she seems like a good person.”

In more ways than one.

Jarim was the only one who understood what he was saying and nodded her head with a serious face.

“Seong Jarim-ssi, I would like to chat for a while with the association president, is that okay?”

“Isn’t that the strong unni?”

“Because of Seong Jarim-ssi, the cheonglang guild has requested an interview, so she is out of the office at the moment.”

“Cheonglang! That’s cool Am I going too?”

“No.”

Jarim became sullen at once.

“Can I come and listen too? Unless they are having a private conversation.”

“I don’t care.”

“Then we will go with Kang Sejun. and……”

Do Junyoung’s face was slightly distorted. After hesitating a few times, he soon turned his head.

Seora, who was secretly glancing at this side, met his eyes.

‘Ugh. An ominous feeling.’

The senses of an office worker hit her spine. Seora bowed her head immediately, but it was already too late.

“Yoon Seora will also go with you.”

“M-Me? Is this a place where people like me can come……?”

Seora had a frightened expression as if she was afraid and burdened.

Do Junyoung, unaware that Kang Sejun and Seong Jarim were watching with strange expressions from behind, shook his head.

“This is an order from the association president. She said it would be better to know the situation in advance since you will be with Seong Jarim for a while.”

Association president……!

To think she would be betrayed by Song Hanna!

It was not enough to have returnees on her left and right, so now she had an S-rank disguised as an A-rank in front.

***

The face-to-face meeting had begun.

‘I feel like I’ve been through a similar situation before, but is that just me?’

The place where the three S-rank members and Park Jinyong were together immediately came to mind. It was better then.

Anyway back then she herself was the center of the case.

But right now, she was just an F-rank loser who took care of the L-Ranks’ manicure, so why was she here?

“The association would like to announce some information about Seong Jarim-ssi, would that be okay?”

So that’s the issue. It really had nothing to do with Seora. But why did she have to be there?

“What. You were missing 5 years ago, and you came back alive?”

“We are going to review that part a little more. It is necessary to confirm in many ways how far we should announce and what kind of impact it will have.”

“Then?”

“Currently, the people will be reassured if we say that we made contact with the association and we are securing the new recruits.”

There were only a small number of L-Ranks in the world.

People’s sense of relief differs depending on whether the state has clearly identified the identity or not.

“And I would like to reveal the characteristic of a healer, would that be okat?”

“uh? uh, hmm……”

Seong Jarim glanced at Seora. Seora, who had previously heard about Seong Jarim’s abilities last night, recognized the meaning of those eyes.

She was definitely a healer who could restore her own stamina……

‘Can you call that a complete healer?’

The exact attribute of Seong Jarim was a combat healer. There were conditions since she wasn’t a healer from the beginning.

‘What to do? Am I a healer?’

Seong Jarim asked Seora with her eyes.

No, if you ask me that, she would have to answer out loud.

However, for an elderly person who was only getting older and didn’t know the world, Seora took the lead.

“I think it would be better not to reveal that Seong Jarim has the healer trait.”

Do Junyoung and Kang Sejun were puzzled.

“Among the top rankers in Korea, there is only one healer, theGuild Leader Yoo Sueun, so if Seong Jarim’s existence becomes known, people will be more than happy.”

“Seong Jarim is closer to the combat world. So……

When Seora glanced at Jarim, she nodded her head, telling her to speak comfortably.

“It’s not like she was a healer from the get go, so I don’t think she can heal as well as Guild Leader Yoo Sueun.”

“Yeah, right! That’s it! This unni is good at organising things!”

Seong Jarim, who was watching, clapped her hands. It was very difficult to live with the elderly.

“Then it would be better not to disclose in the first place that healing is possible. I’ll just let them know that you are an awakened fighter. You must have combat skills, right?”

“Oh, definitely. Don’t bring only the wounded to me. In order to heal, certain conditions must be met, but that is not always possible.”

“All right. Then we move on to the next issue.”

“What else? Are you going to ask about what I was talking about yesterday?”

About gates and dungeons.

But Do Junyoung shook his head.

“That is what the association president will ask. Rather, it is more of a problem than that.”

“What happened?”

Seora asked cautiously. But strangely, Do Junyoung looked very sadly at Seora instead of Seong Jarim.

“Chief?”

She felt very ominous. When Seora, who became anxious, looked at him with trembling eyes, Do Junyoung carefully opened his mouth as if he was really sorry.

“A high ranker from the US has informed me of their intention to visit.”

“……”

“……”

Seora and Kang Sejun were also silent. As if Jarim was the only one that did not understand, she struggled with a puppy-like face. She was just smiling.

“W-why?”

“It’s for the close relationship between Korea and the United States, but……”

“It’s probably nonsense.”

Do Junyoung rubbed his forehead at Kang Sejun’s harsh words as if he was tired.

Now I see that his face had been greatly damaged in one day.

“It’s obvious. Two L-Ranks appeared, so they must monitor them. The U.S. has three L-ranks and remains the most powerful country until now.”

If one more came out, they would be equal to them. They must be very concerned.

If so, what were they going to do?

“Surveillance isn’t the only purpose, is it?”

“Yes. The reason that the United States was able to keep its prestige even in the hunter era was thanks to the relentless recruitment of hunters from other countries.”

There was no problem at all if they took A-rank or lower hunters.

Rather, they tended to respect individual opinions, whether they immigrated or naturalized.

But S-rank and higher were different.

As each one was directly linked to the state’s power, it must not be taken away by other countries.

“Until now, Korea has not lost a Hunter to the United States or China thanks to the huge umbrella of Song Hanna. All S-ranks in Korea wanted to be under her umbrella.”

“But you two are different. You are stronger than the association president.”

Do Junyoung, who wiped his face once, looked at Seong Jarim and Kang Sejun with serious eyes.

“There is a message left by the association president. Not as the association president, but as the individual Song Hanna.”

“What?”

“She can’t stop it anyway, so she won’t force anyone. But at least choose a place that treats you as human beings, not tools. That should be your country.”

Kang Sejun and Seong Jarim opened their eyes wide as if they had been hit by a single blow.

Yoon Seora covered her mouth.

‘That’s so cool……!’

Association for the Awakened. And Song Hanna, who led it.

Even in this situation, her heart did not fade at all, but rather was shining brightly.

There were many places that served the country or the people. So shouldn’t there be at least one place for the Awakened?

‘This is why all the other members of the rank were trying to be under the association president.’

Foreigners, you don’t have a leader like this do you?

“Even if it’s Song Hanna’s personal words, and not the association president’s, I will follow her will as I am under her.”

“……”

“Someone will come from the US within the next week, so I think you have to decide by then. and……”

Do Junyoung’s eyes turned to Seora again. Seora, who was chanting at the light Song Hanna shone to her, became anxious at the faze.

What. Why did he keep looking at herself with those eyes? Was this the time for her to resign?

“Chief?”

“Yoon Seora-ssi, if you need anything, please feel free to report it.”

“Yes?”

“……You are going to suffer for a while and stay with Seong Jarim-ssi.”

Sorry. She couldn’t even hear Do Junyoung’s last words.

Standing in the realization like a clear blue sky, she hardened her body like someone struck by lightning.

Right. She was the caretaker of Seong Jarim, so eventually, she would have to face the American rankers……?

“S-Sorry.”

At that moment, Jarim understood the situation and immediately ran behind Kang Sejunn with a frightened face.

But her Seora no longer had the energy to stare at her.

Resignation…… She had to rewrite her resignation letter!

“Chief, I am just leaving. I don’t need any extra pay, or S-grade weapons anymore!”

“Sorry. Theassociation president threatened me to not accept a letter of resignation……”

Seora was shocked to hear that she had been betrayed by Song Hanna.

She really wanted to open her eyes and pass out at the strong will she had to stop her resignation.

【Administrator: (ᗒᗨᗕ)و ̑̑】

Even the administrator, who she thought was on her side, was shouting fight.

She couldn’t. She couldn’t postpone it any longer.

‘I need to contact the guild leader Jeong Hoyoung. I have to get an exorcism right now!’

She wanted to meet her right away and ask her what kind of magic was involved in her life.

Seora made a promise that as soon as she got out of here, she would call Jeong Hoyoung.
