After sending Yoo-jeong Han to a reserved seat, I headed to the waiting seat located in one corner of the auditorium.

There was only one chair left.

But, he sits next to the manager he just fought with.

damn it, really.

If you’re standing here blankly, won’t it look like you’re conscious? What this guy’s pride is, I sat in a chair and watched.

[Team assignment for the 2nd test is random. According to the game rules explained above, first assign a team and then… … ]

The manager next to me suddenly speaks to me.

“Are you Hyun-woo Kim?”

“yes. Was it Song Min-cheol, the head of the department?”

replied bluntly.

It’s such an unwelcome feeling that the driver keeps talking to me even though I deliberately sit in the back seat of the taxi.

“Looking at you earlier, you seem to be very close to Han Yoo-jung.”

“It’s friendly.”

He looked at the manager and sighed.

“It’s just…”

“I beg your pardon?”

“A little bit, it’s friendly.”

The manager frowned and stared. I pretended not to know and passed my gaze with a shameless face.

“Hyunwoo, do you know that?”

“What?”

“Sometimes, there are managers who hold the youngsters to their feet.”

What is this kid really doing?

There is nothing I like from the very beginning.

“So, the manager said that I was holding Yoo-jeong’s ankle?”

The manager is fed up.

“You are quick. Were you very close personally? Then leave Han Yoo-jung alone.”

“why?”

“Because it’s too heavy for you to bear.”

“So can you hold on to it?”

“Of course it is possible.”

The manager, who was aware of the surroundings, spoke in a low voice.

“Do you know that the prospects who joined the large guilds say that they have a strong heart for nothing? The size of the support is different. Even if you make your debut as a hunter, do you think you will be able to let Han Yoo-jung enter the dungeon?”

“That’s something you don’t know.”

“Yeah, I don’t know. From these answers, the capabilities of the guild and the manager are revealed. If it were me, I would have answered like this. Worry about what to worry about.”

I checked my watch. Not much left.

“Kim Hyun-woo, if you really think about Han Yoo-jung, you should let him go now. The test is conducted under fair conditions, so even if you cover it with your skills right now, it will be different after that. Management is more important than a hunter’s skill.”

Know.

No matter how talented you are, if you can’t enter the dungeon, you can’t build a career. As time goes by, they eventually become second-hand rookies.

After that it is obvious Hunters pouring out after the test every year.

There is no opportunity for second-hand rookies to leave behind promising youngsters with high growth potential.

In the end, the likelihood that it will come up will only decrease as time goes by.

There are times when singers and actors choose a good piece of work and explode, but for hunters, it is not too difficult.

This is an industry where skill and experience are important.

Even if you have talent, if you don’t have a guild to support it, the road to get through is pretty daunting.

Perhaps, it would be better for Han Yoo-jung’s future to do what the manager said. Thousands of years old, I only need to be with you on Sundays.

I didn’t necessarily have to take care of Han Yoo-jung as a manager.

However, I am human and I have desires.

“Stop being greedy and tell Han Yoo-jung. Moving the guild… … .”

“So, is it the business method of a large guild that the manager is talking about to skip The Hunt and crawl into the Daejin Daily for an interview?”

“What?”

The manager makes a bewildered face.

“How did you know that?”

I turned my gaze away while passing over the manager’s words to my ear.

The judges on the podium were assigning the team members to the screen.

[Team layout is as above. Check where your team is first and then follow the controls… … .]

I checked the watch.

11:20.

The time has come to release the article that reporter Cho promised in advance.

I rubbed my lips and said to the manager.

“Let’s see.”

“What?”

“The results will tell you everything. Who is the person you really need?”

*

It was at the same time as those words.

Whoa! Whoa!

Vibrations echoed from all directions. Embarrassed managers rummaged through their pockets. In the dark auditorium, the lights of the cell phones were turned on one by one.

It was no different for Taesan Guild Manager who sat next to Kim Hyun-woo.

He confirmed the sender. He was the PR team leader. The manager who answered the phone trembled and asked.

“… … hello? Chief, what are you doing?”

Sometimes it is.

A phenomenon that detects an uncertain future and triggers an alarm in your head.

It’s an amazing experience that you have to experience at least once in your life.

Now the manager did.

– How the hell did a bastard with the size of a manager handle the job?!

The alarm in my head was beeping like crazy.

“Captain, what do you mean?”

-If you say it in words, it will be long, so check the article on the Internet right now. Don’t hang up the phone.

The manager has access to the Internet. A brief buffering time. In the meantime, I looked around. All were the same. Managers kept their heads down and checked their phones.

He swallowed his saliva and lowered his gaze.

A single article was hung on the main site of the site.

[Is the Hunter Exam a game for prospects from large guilds?]

And his eyes widened when he saw the contents.

Read at readwn.com

Mosaic photo attached at the top of the article.

The outline of the main character in the photo handing the envelope of money was familiar.

“uh?”

– The person in the picture is you, right?

“No, why is this? when… ?”

The manager yelled at the confused manager.

-Don’t freeze, baby! Where are you now?

“Oh, it’s a test site. I was checking to see if the kids were being assigned to a team.”

– When it’s over, take the kids back to the guild as soon as possible. I passed the second test anyway. If you ask anything from the association or the media, do not answer anything. okay? We will follow up immediately.

“Yes, yes, I understand.”

The stammering manager hung up the phone. The waiting room quickly became noisy. Profanity came from all over the place.

Large guild managers are in a hurry to return. Small guild managers are filthy in the industry.

The curses were for different reasons, but one was clear.

This second test was overturned.

All schedules will be suspended until the case is settled. Even if it was resumed, it was impossible to move according to the taste of the large guilds as before.

“why?”

A soft, gentle voice ruffles the nape of his neck uncomfortably.

Kim Hyun-woo was watching leisurely with his arms crossed.

“Have you ever been involved in illegal lobbying?”

The manager, who was licking his lips, barely exhaled.

“No, I don’t know. Illegal lobbying for a fair test… who it is.”

“weird.”

“yes?”

Kim Hyun-woo compared the photo of the article in his cell phone with the manager.

“It looks like this.”

“what!”

The manager was startled and slapped Kim Hyun-woo’s arm.

“You, what a sensitive case this is, you speak so carelessly… !”

“What are you so upset about? Or not.”

“If other people misunderstand you, will you take responsibility?!”

“Chief, if you shout like that, people around you will look at you.”

At some point, my eyes stinged. Eyes of doubt pile up. The manager became uncomfortable to be here, enough to say that it was not enough to call it a thorn cushion.

“f*ck.”

He spit out harsh swear words and folded his arms.

I still couldn’t get away. The supervisors on the podium were also busy. The results will come out soon, regardless of whether the second exam schedule is postponed or canceled.

Before that, I couldn’t go back to being reckless. ’cause it’s gonna be too hot Other large guild managers were also holding their hips shaking.

The manager waited, hiding his discomfort.

*

It’s a bit quieter now.

Perhaps it was thanks to the dumb meat, the manager next to him finally shut his mouth.

A team of 2nd test personnel was still floating on the big screen.

[4 teams, 6 teams]

[Han Yoo-jung]

[Lena Park]

[Jimin Seo]

[Yoon Ji-hoo]

In my spare time, I looked up the names of the rest of the prospects. and burst out laughing.

cubs. Then yes.

All of them barely escaped failing points in the first exam. The abilities don’t really fit the 2nd test either. Compatibility with each other was also a mess.

I couldn’t get a picture of Han Yoo-jung winning with that team. If the test had been conducted as it is, it would have been either eliminated or passed at the bottom of the list.

So, a nuclear bomb was dropped on the second test.

to produce the same result as now.

The supervisor on the podium said in a cold sweat.

[Currently, an unfortunate incident has occurred related to the second examination]

I got caught eating the lobby.

[The association has decided to find out the facts behind the case and find the culprit involved in the case, and we will faithfully engage in the investigation]

We’ll cut off our tails and get out.

[Due to the above problem, the current 2nd exam is temporarily postponed, and the future schedule will be announced through the website announcement]

Once you notice it, just wait until the case calms down. I’ll call you later.

[Sorry for causing a scandal during the exam]

I’m stuck and I’m stuck. I’m sorry about that.

The supervisor nodded and left.

It doesn’t matter if the association runs away like a loach. Because I didn’t do it to punish evil in society.

It didn’t matter at all other than getting the lobby.

Maybe, if I had the chance, I might have done it too.

However, it was a decision made after weighing the future of Han Yoo-jung. If you go upstairs feeding the lobby with even these trivial things, one day you’ll catch your ankle. In the past when I was comfortable going up.

“Uncle, it’s over.”

Somewhere in between, Han Yoo-jeong calls me from behind. weird. We obviously live under the same roof and use the same shampoo and same body wash. When Han Yoo-jeong is nearby, it smells sweet and fluffy like cotton candy.

A smile rose involuntarily at the sweet taste that permeated the tip of my tongue.

“Yoo Jeong-ah.”

“yes?”

“It’s lunch, aren’t you hungry?”

Han Yoo-jung, who looked at her, smiled awkwardly.

“I’m hungry.”
