Civil Service Hunter’s S-level Resignation Log - Chapter 49

And so, Christopher had no idea that he had missed the L-Rank awakened right in front of his nose.

“I have been camping at the association for several days, but I haven’t gained anything.”

Christopher sighed and scratched his forehead.

Like Kang Sejun, he was harassed by Song Hanna while wondering if the other L-Rank would show up in the association at least once, but he took a stamp of attendance here.

There was simply no harvest done.

All he got was information that the association workers were unusually tired.

For example, the tall person who just walked in.

Christopher shook his head, completely unaware that the very person whose eyes were red with bloodshot was the L-Rank he was desperately looking for.

“Are there any news from the other guild members who are asking around?”

“Surprisingly no. It’s weird. If her eye color is unusual, people’s eyes would be drawn to it. Not everyone just walks around looking at the ground.”

“That’s what I am saying. As we go back and forth, our eyes are bound to meet each other at least once.”

Christopher and his guild members tilted their heads.

They had been diligently researching Korea during their mission, but they did not know everything about Korean culture.

Such as the fact that people who lived in Korea, especially Seoul, did not even look at others out of fear they might make eye contact and have the other come up to them saying ‘You have a good impression.’

Unless you knew this fact, finding an L-Rank by just the color of their eyes was as impossible as finding a pearl on a sandy beach.

“But, just in case, work hard asking. I’m going to look around in other places now.”

“Yes.”

The Guardian’s guild members quickly spread around the area.

Christopher, who looked up at the association for a moment, shook his head, and soon disappeared into the crowd.

Last night too, he had a stomach ache because he drank too much.

***

Finding a new way to avoid Christopher’s eyes made going to work easier than ever for Seora.

Of course, when Seong Jarim smashed the lens with one hand saying that she couldn’t wear it, she proudly used the Happy Operation.

While she jumped around in the pool screaming about how much she liked it, Seora laid down in the sunbed and drank her orange juice.

Thanks to her having a good and enjoyable day today, she was able to sleep as smoothly as a freshly boiled egg as she laid in her bed.

In a situation where she couldn’t even leave the company, the things that could make an office worker the happiest were, of course, acting lazy, and ahem ahem, vacation.

“If tomorrow is the same as today, I won’t ask for anything else.”

After putting her hands together and praying, Seora soon fell asleep snoring.

But today was not over yet.

Late at night, she suddenly woke up to a ringing sound that deafened her ears.

An ominous message hurriedly flashed before her nose, as if announcing the urgency.

【System Administrator Alerts It’s Sole Contractor!】

【The system administrator announces the creation of a gate!】

【Gate creation location: S Hotel rooftop】

【Remaining time: 10 minutes, 9 minutes 59 seconds, 9 minutes 58 seconds……】

She thought she was seeing things because she hadn’t fully woken up yet. S Hotel. Isn’t that where she was staying right now?

“Elizabeth-ssi, are my eyes seeing things right now?”

【Administrator: x(╥﹏╥)x】

He was crying. After spitting out curses, Seora kicked her blanket and popped out of her bedroom.

What! She was lucky? She didn’t have any bad luck?! She wanted to run to Mt. Taebaeksan right away, grab Baek Heewon and shake her.

Luck her ass! She might even be the king of bad luck!

“What else is it this time? Lizaliza, you’ve never shown anything like this before.”

Administrators now know that not all gate creations were predictable or controllable.

But this was the first time she had ever seen a time limit.

【The system administrator says it’s thanks to the addition of new features. However, there is a limit, so it only applies to dungeons that occur near the contractor, and can only be warned when there are 10 minutes left.】

“10 minutes. That’s good enough.”

She didn’t have time to ask for details.

As she entered the bedroom where Jarim was sleeping, she opened her eyes and immediately pulled out her weapon.

Two gigantic blades flashed in the dark room.

“It’s me, calm down.”

Standing in the middle of the threatening attacks by Jarim, Seora raised both her hands. She was already used to this routine after staying with her for a while.

It was a habit she developed while desperately trying to survive on that planet. It was truly pitiable.

“……Seora?”

“Wake up. A gate will burst soon.”

Jarim, who was lowering her arms, widened her eyes.

“At the roof of this hotel. We don’t have time. Move quickly.”

“Rooftop? I can’t feel anything. Did the manager tell you?”

“Uh. I don’t know what type it is, but if it’s a crack dungeon or a dungeon break, it will be a bigger problem. To think a gate would open in the hotel.”

The two ran to the roof without delay, but the time to use the magic meter had already passed.

“Oh, I am going crazy!”

【A gate is being created. Please be prepared for danger.】

【Gate creation is complete.】

【Warning! A dungeon has occurred!】

The door that cut through the air and connected to the other world was emitting a vivid green color.

“Lizaliza-nim said that he can’t control the breakout.”

【Administrator: o(T—T)o】

“Seong Jarim. Can you stop it by yourself?”

“It’s too long. I don’t know if it’s flat, but it’s the rooftop. If the monsters jump out of the building all at once, it will be hard to catch them.”

“Then I’ll have to buy some time.”

Seora took out her sniper rifle from her inventory and activated her skill.

“Deploy Field.”

Her red eyes locked on an area. The coordinates was the gates.

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

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

A red cube tightly wrapped around the gate.

The monsters who were about to come out of the gate cried for a long time as they felt something unusual.

Despite the bizarre cry that made one’s spine stand still, Seora did not waver and aimed her gun at it.

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

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

“What are you going to do! No matter how hard you try, you can’t completely block the gate!”

“I won’t control it. If I do, I will die. But it is possible to buy time.”

Her skill was ‘field control’. She always thought that names were very important in this world.

What is a ‘field’?

In dictionary terms, it is written to be a stadium like a track, but sometimes it also means a battlefield.

Battlefield.

If so, wouldn’t it be possible to take control of the area so that the monsters can’t go outside? To protect her colleagues.

‘I can do it. After all, skills are made by will. If I want to do it, I can do it.’

Haa. After taking one deep breath, Sarah pulled her trigger.

As her fired bullets pierced the cube, a huge fire erupted from within.

The flame that had nowhere to go blazed like a storm and completely engulfed the gate.

So that no monsters come out. If they took even one step, it would burn their entire body.

Her skill reported the fact that the monsters were screaming and going back to the gate. Her skills were responding to her will.

“……Spatial abilities are also different.”

Even Jarim, who had endured a hundred years on a planet that had undergone a dimensional shift, could not help but be amazed at the sight created by Seora.

But she also paid a high price.

“Ugh!”

Seora’s mana was drained all at once and she turned pale.

No matter how much protection she received from the administrator, trying to control one gate was asking for too much.

She drank mana recovery potions, but her mana went out faster than she drank them.

“You wait here. When my mana runs out, the monsters will come out. I’ll ask for your support, so hold on until then.”

“What about you?”

“We need to contact the association and have the citizens escape.”

“Hey, you with that body!”

“I have to do it. Because I am a civil servant belonging to an association that protects citizens.”

Seora smiled at Jarim.

“I can do it. Can you do it too?”

Jarim’s eyes shook at the sight of her smiling with a bloodless face. But they couldn’t change roles.

Because if Seora’s strength runs out, the monsters that run out would be the first to rip her into pieces.

……she knew that well, but she couldn’t help but feel frustrated and angry.

“Don’t get hurt. Don’t overdo it. I’ll stop it somehow, so take care of yourself.”

“Thanks.”

Seora immediately left the roof and dialed the familiar number.

“Association president, a dungeon break has occurred on the rooftop of S Hotel. Currently, Seong Jarim is blocking the gate, and I will focus on helping the citizens escape.”

—Chief Do is nearby. I will contact him right away.

As expected, without having to speak too much Song Hanna figured out what she needed right away. Seora was grateful for her calmness.

“Please hurry up. It will be difficult for Seong Jarim to deal with it alone.”

—Be careful, Seora. Ugh. You don’t need good, right? No can do. I guess you can live in my house for a while.

“……”

This. It was probably the most burdensome proposal. Pretending not to hear her, she exclaimed loudly.

“I have to evacuate the citizens now, so I’ll hang up! Please send those who will lead the evacuation as soon as possible!”

Seora abruptly hung up her phone, and her body trembled.

Now that she had the administrator, she had to stop Song Hanna from dragging her into her house.
