As always, swordsmanship began with the introduction and congratulations of the guests.
Chairman of the Hunter administration, Academy Chairman, Seoul Market, and Parliament.
However, Kim Young-hui’s gaze continued toward the corner of the second floor of the auditorium.
‘Definitely.’
At first glance, he appears to be simply a Guild Human Resources representative or management employee.
The man in formal outfit who appeared to be in his mid-20s was clearly a Seoul City Hall official named Lee Do-jun who had just seen it at the ‘Explanatory Conference’. But the important thing is that the Director and the Class S Hunters reacted earlier.
‘I am conscious.’
That government official.
Quite a few.
Even the director, it was a brief moment, but it was also a funeral.
He is as powerful as the president of the Republic of Korea.
The attitude that such a director showed to the city hall’s end officials felt enormous disconnection.
“Why?”
The question of Smell blooming in Kim Young-hui’s head.
‘Obviously……. There’s something I don’t know.’
* * *
Swordsmanship begins.
Matches are played simultaneously in four arenas.
This method is said to last until there is a semi-final.
In the center of the second floor, you could see the whole stadium.
Choi Yeon-gil was in the corner, so I could only see the first and second stadiums well.
Tak.
Take your laptop out of the bag you’re carrying.
And I opened a Korean file with the Cadet’s profile.
Check the profiles of the two students who are waiting for the match to start at the first stadium.
I already memorized them all, but I wanted to make sure they were correct again.
Ugh.
The longest way to stop is to scroll down.
I turned the laptop screen slightly to the help on the side.
“Would you like to see this?”
The names and skills of each student are detailed, including overall grades, combat styles and pros and cons. The longest screen showed information about the student named Han Seo-hoon, who was on the left of the two students who were fighting in the first stadium.
“Name Han Seo-hoon. Possesses Mana Shield, a Class D skill. This defense passive skill now mitigates damage taken by Mana. Overall score is 81. Skill makes him a student who specializes in short-term situations rather than long-term ones.”
I scrolled down and read the profile of Lee Myeong-gil, the opponent of Han Seo-hoon.
Choi Yeon-gil was collecting and organizing information for third graders, and was only due on this day.
1 st year since we established management. I didn’t have one hunter yet, but I was determined to use this data today to get the contract and stop him.
“Han Seo-hoon will win the battle. Lee Myeong-gil is also a student who specializes in short-term activities, but he has a flaw, but will be blocked by Mana Shield. In addition, the overall ranking is also 10 th place in Han Seo-hoon.”
Choi Yeon-gil was sure that she would be surprised or impressed.
Having this kind of data took a lot of time and effort, and I thought that data-driven analysis was also sharp.
However, there was no change in his face.
However, I only look at the two students who are fighting on the stadium.
“Did you say the path of death? That cadet’s name.”
“Yes, I have a wavy head and a long head.”
Soon.
With the sound of the Judgment’s whistle.
The match started in four arenas.
“I’ll take a vote that the path to doom wins.”
He replied.
* * *
After 10 minutes.
The match that was played in the first arena ended.
I double-checked my laptop profile as if I couldn’t trust Yeon-gil.
“Oh, why…….”
I don’t know what Joo said.
The battle was averted by the victory of Myeong-gil Road.
What the hell is going on? Choi Yeon-gil said something to me.
“Ooh, it’s a coincidence, right?”
He didn’t give much of an answer.
Obviously, her profile data was accurate.
What skills each cadet has and the style of combat.
However, JooJooJoon had a special feeling unlike others.
Since I have suffered a lot of blood clots in the middle circle ( ), and experienced it indirectly at the same time as the choreography, I have now reached a point where I can win and lose.
“That student will win this time.”
The stadium is cleared and the next player is on the stadium.
JooJoo pointed to one person with his finger, and Choi Yong-gil checked the profile data on the laptop.
According to his analysis, it was natural that JooJoon’s cadet would lose.
“Oh, my God!”
But also this match.
The student who was captured by Juju won the victory.
Furthermore, even after that, Juju has never been wrong about the outcome of winning or losing.
“How did you guess?!”
“Have you ever fought a monster?”
Choi Hyeon shakes her head.
“Have you ever been in a crack?”
“…… I don’t have that either. But why are you asking……”
“You rely too much on data, so I asked. You just have to be patient, don’t be blind.”
“You want to catch a good hunter?”
“That’s right.”
“Then you’d better focus on the game, not the laptop screen.”
“Of course, we’re focused on the game. Who won and lost…….”
“Does it matter?”
“Yes?”
I was embarrassed.
“What matters to you is not Han Seo-hoon and Lee Myung Gil who wins, but who you contract with.”
A moment of silence passed.
JooJoon sighed deeply, looking back.
It wasn’t the longest way, it was the thought of me smoking for no reason. Regardless of whether he was able to close the deal or not, whoever he was contracting with, it was none of his business.
“…….”
However, the longest thought was different.
He touched his lips as if he was thinking of something.
Soon after I covered my laptop, I started focusing on ‘reserve hunters’ instead of the game.
* * *
Swordsmanship smoothly lowers the barrier.
Of course, Kim Young-hui who did not always miss first place won.
There were awards ceremonies in first, second, and third places.
“Congratulations.”
Oh, man.
Second place, Hansula bowed her head to the Academy Director.
And number one on the grid. The Academy staff bring a glittering gold trophy.
Kim Young-hui, standing in the middle of the statue, received a trophy handed to him by an employee.
After shaking hands with the Academy Head, I took a group photo.
“Then I will use this to finish the fifth slash.”
The employee holding the microphone says:
The HR representatives and management staff of each guild on the second floor were urgently taken to their seats.
Their own battlefield is about to begin. A fierce competition for preliminary hunters.
The third-graders were well aware of this, so they did not leave the building even after the swordsmanship was over. The cadets were hoping that it would be a favour for the four guilds.
Ugh.
After the swordsmanship,
Jung Young-chul moved his gaze toward the corner of the second floor.
He was writing something in his notebook. I wondered if any of the students who participated in the swordplay liked it.
‘Again.’
Kim Young-hui did not miss that moment.
Moreover, Class S Hunters were also looking at Lee Do-joon.
Kim Young-hui, who couldn’t resist the curiosity, walked to an employee who was watching the society and borrowed a microphone.
I knew this behavior was arrogant now, but I was more curious than that.
“Question……. Can I get you one?”
Kim Young-hui’s voice rang on the speakers.
A guild that was in business to win the contract, and management officials made it feel like the atmosphere in the intestine was covered in cold water.
Everyone’s gaze turned to Kim Young-hui holding the microphone.
“If you don’t mind, I’d like to ask Director Jung Young-chul.”
Kim Young-hui and Jung Young-chul’s gaze crossed.
Jung Young-chul nodded his head to let me.
“The other day, during the guild briefing season, I mentioned that the official from Seoul City Hall is a special contract. I didn’t take it lightly, but I was surprised when the government official told me that the special contract with the Director and the ranker hunters in 10th place would be judged. It was impossible for anyone to see. Even though there were very few hunters contracting with the municipality, I didn’t understand that the judgments were seen by class S hunters.”
Kim Young-hui looked at Lee Do-jun for a moment.
I took a deep breath and continued talking.
“I just thought it was happy. At the Icarus Guild Explanation Conference, Kang Min-hyuk said that the special contract was true and that he would not even qualify for the contract. I’d like your answer on that. What the hell is a special contract, and what is the right to take it? This is the part that my third-graders were very curious about.”
Jung Young-chul closed her eyes.
And he looks at her.
To ask if you can answer.
You’re on your own.
Electromagnetism.
Jung Young-chul heard the voice of JooJoon resounding in his brain.
Take care of it. It meant answering me well in a good way.
Jung Young-chul, who received the microphone from the employee, opened his mouth.
“A special contract means cooperation with the Seoul City Hall. A special contract is to maintain mutual cooperation using each other’s infrastructure in the event of a disaster for the safety and life of the people without paying or receiving any visible cost. It is a device that allows our Hunter Administration personnel to request immediate assistance from the Seoul City Hall in the event of a disaster.”
Kim Young-hui was embarrassed.
Nothing bigger than I thought.
Moreover, with such a contract, who would want to be judged by Class S Hunters?
“…… If that’s the case, don’t you need to be judged by the Director or rankers? Also, may I ask you what qualified you to accept, Kang Min-hyuk? Why did you say you didn’t even qualify our students?”
Jung Young-chul answered.
It was very abstract.
However, rankers, including Jung Young-chul, knew about it.
The special contract is to actually go into the company of a man named Lee Do-joon, and to give over to Lee Do-joon the command of a ranker who had only Jung Young-chul.
This part was very cautious.
“Eligibility is…….”
Everyone’s attention was focused.
“Holder of a Class S Hunter or a Class S skill.”
Once more silence passed.
Students, Kang Min-hyuk said.
I learned the meaning of ‘I don’t even qualify’.
No one with Class S skills is currently a third-grader.
Besides, he’s not Hunter yet, and he certainly wouldn’t have a Class S Hunter title.
“…… I don’t understand. Why, why would they want that kind of specs? And a hunter with that kind of specification, like you said, would he want to work with the Seoul City Hall as unpaid? Who will enter into a special contract?”
Then.
Someone’s voice was added.
It was Lee Kang-hyun, swordsmanship.
The idol of all hunters, ranked # 1 in Hunter Ranking.
Lee Kang-hyun put on the microphone.
“Rankers already have a contract. And I know you didn’t say anything, but let me tell you. There’s only one reason to do this.”
The most important thing in a special contract.
“Is it suitable as a central attack member?”
