“What? Talking about guilds? with me?”

The general manager chuckled.

“A manager, where is this place?”

“You haven’t met me. The review has already been rejected five times, but wouldn’t it be possible to see the face of the person who stamped the stamp out of frustration at least once?”

“Even if it’s frustrating, we have to go through the official process. is not it?”

They blocked the way they were about to leave.

“I consulted with a lawyer about the guild review, and he said something like this. Conventionally, there is no problem, but as a rule, there is a problem.”

“Yeah, a matter of internal regulations. A hunter who is S-rank, but can’t even work in dungeons because of depression. And the guild representative who has only been across the water from America for three months.”

The general manager strokes his chin.

“What the hell are we supposed to see and pass the guild’s screening?”

The very excuse is liquidation. Bogs.

They say that they can’t be active because of depression, but the S-class and Lee Ji-ah names cover everything.

Han Ye-rim worked as the youngest team leader in a large American guild. He is a famous person whose face is also reflected in magazines.

If this were not enough, the number of guilds in Korea would have been reduced to less than one-tenth.

“Don’t go round and round, let’s get right to the point.”

“What?”

“What is the reason?”

He asked, squeezing his wrinkled eyes with his hand.

“Isn’t it because we have something we want? You tell me.”

“The reason… .”

The general manager smiles softly.

“I really want to ask. Why is it coming out so blatantly? you.”

“what?”

Shameless?

“After feeding the association like that. For what reason do you come and apply for a guild?”

The general manager nervously tapped my chest with his index finger, as if he was really excited.

“The association, guild, and hunter are mutually supportive. Do you know how much support we have given to Lee Ji-ah since she was a promising youngster?”

It must have been used as a means of external publicity.

You were trying to turn him into a national hero because an all-time promising youngster appeared.

“It’s the same in the Abyss Dungeon. From the beginning, I had no intention of burying that bitch Lee Ji-ah. The best hunter in Korea fell to A rank, what? I don’t think you would have repaired it? Of course, it means to take a break. uh?”

“… You mean to take a break?”

The headmaster’s eyebrows twitched.

I don’t know for sure because I don’t have a mirror, but it’s probably because my face has turned ugly.

I’m so mad right now

“If you blame Jia for the mistake of the raid squad and the association, does that mean that you should rest?”

“I told you. called superstition. From the executives to the president of the association, it was the case that everyone was being ripped off. It’s said that one S-class hunter’s rank is lowered, but you don’t cooperate with it and dare to grab it by the collar? We thought we were going to take a good look at the public opinion and bring him back right away!”

Abyss Dungeon.

It was then that Lee Ji-ah began to be completely buried.

The association did not lower Lee Ji-ah’s rank. He was trying to kill Lee Ji-ah. For the positions of the association president and association executives.

“So, is it because of Jia?”

“okay.”

“Then, how can we pass the guild screening?”

The general manager put his hand on my shoulder.

“Correct the mistakes of the past.”

Then it creeps up and whispers like a snake.

“I admit it by holding a press conference with Lee Ji-ah. That’s when I was wrong. The result of the hearing was wrong. plead.”

“How is Jia?”

“This time, it’s not going to be A-rank. Hunter activities will also be suspended for the time being. However, I will pass the guild examination. Let’s settle this matter neatly with this.”

“What if I don’t accept it?”

“Tell me what are you doing?”

“I want to hear it in detail.”

“As long as I am here, the guild screening will never pass.”

The cracked tongue is alluring.

Give up the difficult path and accept the easy path.

“All right.”

The general manager laughs bitterly.

Then yes, it is the face.

You will be used to subjugating people with power.

head of the association.

It is also the Seoul branch.

He probably walked only the Royal Road. It is natural for a person to stand on top. Those guys would have sat down and ordered.

Toss Lee Ji-ah as bait.

I don’t like the reality.

People are supposed to live honestly and honestly. It’s not like I’m politicizing like that.

“Then, are you accepting my offer?”

So I said.

“No, f*ck it. f*ck.”

“Hey, that crazy bastard, that one!”

Kim Hyun-woo left and the conductor was excited. The general manager snorted and raised his hand.

“Leave it alone. He’s still a kid who can’t control his blood.”

“Are you really going to leave me alone? Did you curse in front of you?”

“What more are you doing here? I got angry on the map, so I sweared and ran away.”

Already rejected the guild review. There were enough obstacles in the way.

“You don’t have to worry about all those shrimps when fighting whales. Where are you tired of going to work?”

The conductor nodded his head.

“By the way, Chief, what if? What if Lee Ji-ah goes to trial?”

“In addition.”

“yes?”

“What else are you worried about? Say something else.”

The conductor scratched his forehead.

“To tell you my friend, I am very worried about being known to the media. You’ve been beaten up at a recent hearing and you’re on your own. There was also a lobby thing.”

He looked into the general manager’s eyes and said cautiously.

“Just, I wonder if it’s all about scraping and crumbling. Do I really need to fight Lee Ji-ah?”

“Director Park, Hunters fight with swords and shields in the dungeon, don’t they?”

“Yes.”

“The suitors like us. We’re fighting over contacts and business cards. All the things that helpless hunters can’t solve easily can be solved with just one cell phone.”

The general manager shook the cell phone in his hand.

“Are you going to sue? do it yes The legal team will come and block you for years. stabbing the media? Do it.”

He wrote a message and sent it.

“I will cut them all off.”

I stopped by a convenience store on the way home.

We swept our beer and chose jerky and squid as side dishes.

Just in case you don’t know, I’ll go buy a Coke.

“It is 42,700 won.”

“I’m rooting for you.”

He swung the bag and walked down the dark road. got a call. Cho Jung-bin, a reporter for The Hunt.

“hello?”

– Mr. Hyunwoo! What happened?!

They try to rip people’s ears as soon as they receive it.

frowned and asked.

“What’s going on?”

– I just came out of a meeting in the editor’s office. I think the association made a hand to not publish an article about Lee Ji-ah Hunter and Hyeon-woo!

“Well. okay?”

– No, no, no! What did you do to get a request from the association? Oh, but Hyunwoo.

“yes?”

– What’s your relationship with Lee Ji-ah?

Curious that someone might not be a journalist.

said with a smile.

“Friend.”

-Ugh! Lee Ji-ah is famous for not having close friends. Is it real?

Why is Lee Ji-ah’s reputation around here always like this?

“yes. What are you doing by lying?”

– Then one interview later… …

footsteps stopped.

A familiar shadow appeared in front of the house.

“Reporter, I’ll call you back a little later.”

He hid his presence and crept closer.

“Hyun-woo, I’ve been caught.”

Lee Ji-ah took a step forward and said.

I laughed and scratched the back of the head.

“I was trying to surprise you.”

“Did you forget? That S-class hunter.”

Lee Ji-ah, who glanced at the envelope, asks.

“what?”

“Beer.”

“Hyunwoo, are you drinking?”

“I’m not really good at it.”

He took out a beer and handed it to him.

“Today, I want to drink with Jia.”

“I wish there was Yoojung in front of the house.”

“You must have wanted to drink with Yoojung.”

“I don’t drink either.”

“I bought a Coke just in case. to zero.”

He leaned his back against the wall. With a can of Coke in her hand, Lee Ji-ah kicks the pecking ground.

I chewed the squid softly and folded my arms. I think Lee Ji-ah has something to say to me. just waited

“Mr. Hyunwoo.”

“yes.”

“I heard you talking to Yerim on the phone earlier.”

“What?”

“Is it because of me that the guild was rejected?”

He poured the beer down his throat.

It’s been a while since I drank, so I can’t get my mind off the tangy taste.

My face is hot and my head is spinning.

“Right. It’s Jia’s fault.”

“The conditions stated there… .”

“Jia takes full responsibility for the failure of the attack.”

“What if I can’t?”

“They said that every time they were judged, they would be scolded. Lawyers say, even if it goes to court, it will take years.”

Again the silence grew longer.

Lee Ji-ah lifted her heavy lips.

“Then, I… … .”

“Okay, chew this.”

I pushed the squid into Lee Ji-ah’s mouth.

Surprised eyes look at me.

“Jia is a hunter.”

“… yes?”

“I am the manager.”

“yes.”

“Only in the dungeon, I know that Jia is better than anyone else.”

Lee Ji-ah was the best hunter in Korea in name and reality. Although it is now on a path of decline, its symbolism never disappears.

So I was annoyed.

The reality that the best hunter I looked up to was lethargic.

For 10 years, no one has been a shield for Lee Ji-ah.

I was just trying to eat it using the association or the guild.

“Just leave the work outside the dungeon to me, the manager.”

He smiled and opened a new beer can.

“Because I’ll fix it somehow.”

* * *

I turned on the computer and made a call.

– Mr. Hyunwoo?

“Oh, reporter Joe. I’m sorry I hung up the phone abruptly. Did we even talk about the press guidelines issued earlier?”

-Hey, boo, it’s not a news guide. It’s not a press release… . The press guide… .

What are you so cold?

What you’re doing is just the press guidelines.

“What exactly happened in the editor-in-chief?”

– That’s all I said before. They told me not to cover articles related to Hyun-woo or Lee Ji-ah.

Read at readwn.com

Moving the mouse.

“Is it the same elsewhere?”

-If you contacted even a single magazine, you can see that virtually all newspapers are closed. Even if you cover it up and take it with you, everything will be cut at the editor-in-chief level.

“What about internet articles?”

-If you skip the big press, there is only one local newspaper that will give you a site specializing in chirashi or a few dozen hits. But when I go up, I know it’s aggro and I don’t believe it.

It’s tricky. Terrible.

“Isn’t it okay when you broke up the lobby of the association before?”

-It’s the lobby case, so it doesn’t really matter because you can end it with a tail cut! This is fatal for the association!

Fighting at the executive level is a completely different story, isn’t it?

What the prominent people who are called associations do is bandang.

He patted the desk with his index finger and fell into thought.

Step by step, plans pile up.

Organized thoughts needed verification.

Verification of journalists who have been rolling in the industry for years.

“Reporter, I have a question for you.”

– Uh, yes. Please speak.

“The press shut the mouth, but it’s a thing of the past. If it becomes a social issue, can it be ignored even then?”

-no.

Reporter Joe said firmly.

– Absolutely impossible. If it becomes a social issue in the other direction, the media can never ignore it.

“why?”

-If you sit with a heavy buttocks, you will be beaten up by the subscribers for asking if you ate money. Why are there no words from the newspapers I read, and why do I have to listen to the news of the world through other people?

“then… .”

– Even if you see public opinion, you move. At that time, it was the lobby of the 3rd term councilor and nothing. All of the companies and customers that have been supporting us are gone.

Reporter Joe adds.

-Well, as a magazine reporter, I don’t know what to say, but creating public opinion itself is close to impossible without the help of the media.

“Well. Then what if.”

-yes.

“What if, an S-class hunter?”

-yes.

“I was treated unfairly by the Hunter Association on social media. Would you like to write something like that?”

-… … Yeah?

He licked his lips and looked at the monitor.

S-class Hunter Lee Ji-ah’s SNS account.

I wonder if it was meaningful that I continued to promote, and I already had hundreds of thousands of followers.

The comment box was, as usual, a battlefield between anti-fans and fans.

What would happen if I post a sarcastic article here?

He opened a can of beer and cried.

“A framed S-class hunter gets retaliation from the association!”

Then he smiled and asked reporter Joe.

“How is it? This is the title of the article that will be covered from the sand.”
