Chapter 274 – Designated Quest (7)
While driving to the meeting place, I recalled the information about the other person I had heard from Ji-an Yoon.
Zodiac.
Only once.
Even though it was only a very short meeting, their names are clearly embedded in my brain.
How could I forget
They were the ones who used the Barrier, which was no different from a state secret, carelessly.
“It’s the Zodiac…”
Apparently, at that time, they were guys who couldn’t even figure out whether they should have enemies in the sun or the dark.
“In the end, did you decide to settle down in Yangji?”
Of course… , I don’t even think that these guys will stay in the sun for the rest of their lives.
I don’t know what the final goal is, but I’m guessing that it’s better to be sunny right now to achieve it.
By the way.
“… Less than you think?”
Ten A-class and five B-class.
It’s an incredibly luxurious composition for a small elite, but well.
It feels like both quantity and quality are lacking for an organization that was eager to recruit talent by introducing barriers.
“Well, you wouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket.”
There is a high probability that it is a moderately showy number of people.
There must be more people moving than this in places you can’t see.
“Hmm.”
It is obvious that I even put in a designated request to me under the pretext of clearing an A-class dungeon.
Maybe it’s about checking your skills and recruiting.
If I could add one more thing here maybe…
“Are you considering killing him?”
Why, isn’t there such a thing?
It’s a last-ditch drama where you say that if it doesn’t become mine, I’d rather not let it become anyone’s.
Dungeon is also a good place to actually take place such a drama-like event.
Injury or death during a dungeon raid is not unusual, no matter when and to whom.
It’s enough if you put a knife behind your back and pretend you’re killed by a monster.
“This is why fixed parties are so important, eh…”
The candidates for my fixed party haven’t even become hunters yet, so maybe this is a good thing.
“It’s time to roll hard.”
The second quarter hunter qualification test is approaching.
Hunter aspirants can take the qualification test twice a year.
Since I’ve already consumed the first episode, other guys might be thinking about taking the exam in the third or fourth quarter, but I think differently.
“I waited so long, when will you grow it?”
They are all talented guys.
However, it is not enough to support my back.
It is a trick to properly show what the hunter society is after passing even with a pull-up.
Do you have the confidence to pass?
“Tell me what to do.”
I fully understood the strengths and weaknesses of the guys.
I have drawn a roadmap in my head on how to train.
It may be a bit harsh, but they are not only talented, but also have excellent mental strength, so they will follow suit.
“If you have to, there is also a secret weapon.”
Even if they don’t want to pass, I’m ready enough to grab them by the collar and put them on the list of successful applicants.
When the thoughts of the chicks reached their climax, the car finally entered Gangnam.
The destination is a private cafe located in the business district.
“Welcome. Could you tell me the name of the person making the reservation?”
With such a strict reservation system, all seats are in rooms, making it an optimal place for conversations.
“It must be reserved for the Zodiac.”
“I will guide you to your seat.”
A room of just the right size when four people entered, following the waitress.
Inside the room, the passenger who had arrived earlier was sitting alone enjoying the fragrant coffee.
Light blonde hair with blue eyes.
A good-looking man with a warm smile that would support the heroine’s back in a romance manga.
It’s the first time I’ve seen a face, but it’s not the first time.
“It’s been a while.”
Look at that.
Doesn’t the other side already admit that it is old and come out?
It wasn’t difficult to remember the other person’s name.
“Obviously K… , I remember introducing myself.”
Are you happy that you remember my name?
The man, K, nodded his head with a bright smile on his lips that only a woman should show.
“You’re right. I didn’t even see his face back then… , You remembered me.”
“Because it’s not just the face that you can see and remember.”
Voice or accent is also one of the clear grounds for distinguishing humans.
Moreover, light blonde hair like that is rare in Korea, especially among men.
“Please sit down.”
Following the invitation, pull out a chair and sit across from the other person.
Then K took out a business card from my suit jacket and handed it to me.
“I will formally introduce myself.”
Zodiac.
Along with the guild name meaning the 12th palace of the ecliptic, the title of master is clearly stamped.
And next to it, an alphabet called ‘K’ instead of a name.
“I am the Master of the Zodiac Guild, K.”
There are sometimes
Those who use a pseudonym instead of my name.
It is usually used by those who want to maintain the concept of mysticism, or those who have a bad back…
No matter how you look at it, this is the latter, right?
I put the business card roughly in my pocket and stare into the other person’s eyes.
I don’t really like the smiley face… , Shall we go out strong?
“When we first met, I thought we were a group without a foundation… , You made a guild?”
Even though he used quite strong wording, the smile on K’s lips did not fade in the slightest.
A person with a strong sense of belonging cannot tolerate being insulted for their belonging… , On the contrary, he was making a more satisfied expression as if he liked that appearance.
“The story that Mr. Kim Do-jin told me at that time touched the heartstrings of those above us.”
What do you mean?
“… I don’t think I said anything particularly heartbreaking.”
“You said you didn’t want to have enemies in a group that had no roots.”
“Ah.”
It was, indeed.
But did you mean that it made you feel bad?
I was impressed by that and created a guild… , Should I say that it is an organization that has a learning attitude.
“When I see people refer to me as superiors… , Mr. K can be considered the president of pants.”
“You’re right. I just created a guild under the direction of my superiors.”
“…”
Look at this kid
What kind of plan is it to casually reveal something that should be kept secret?
“Do you think the size of the organization is a bit large? Seeing 10 A-rankers unwrap casually on a sunny day.”
“That… , No comment.”
Is this another secret?
It’s not that I’m blindly spreading information, but I’m keeping my own line.
It’s fun.
“The thing that called me while putting in the designated request… , Can I interpret it as the same purpose as last time?”
K. Nodding his head with a smile on his face.
“That is the end goal.”
“It is the final goal.”
It seems that the predictions made before coming here were correct.
I think it means something like checking your skills with an A-rank dungeon and ardently courting you if you meet their standards.
Should I do this or should I not?
When you’re thinking about it.
Smart!
Someone knocked on the door outside.
“Ah, I see you’re here now.”
As if he had waited, K. Stood up and straightened his messy outfit.
He asked with a puzzled expression on his face.
“Looks like someone decided to come again?”
Only then did the guy put on a sorry expression and explain.
“Ah! I couldn’t tell you. In fact, it was a total of two people, including Do-jin, who put in the designation request. He also decided to sit here today.”
“I see.”
Giving a designated request to two people… , It must be that there are two people who have been pointed out at the moment.
Who is it?
Other than me, the person who receives one body of the zodiac.
“Excuse me.”
The door opens and a polite waitress appears.
As he stepped aside, the second protagonist finally showed up…
“… Teacher?”
Was the second person you asked for the lead role?
A completely unexpected opponent.
At the same time, the thought that it is well worth it runs through my head.
Why not
Joo-yeon is the sixth S-rank Hunter in Korea.
It is even a healer and buffer known as the rarest resource along with wizards.
What’s more, still a free agent who has not joined any guild.
Where else could there be a more attractive property?
However… , Why are you sticking out your lips without answering when I ask?
Ah.
“That, um… , Sister?”
“Oh, it’s Dojin!”
“…”
What is this
“Do-jin, did you also get a designation request?”
“Tryout… , No, my sister too?”
“Huh!”
This is really embarrassing
To say that I had to call my ex-sister-in-law not a teacher, but rather an older sister.
There’s nothing strange about his age, but… , Memories of the past hold me back.
Something very embarrassing and embarrassing!
K politely greets Juyeon, who smiles as if she is happy to see her.
“Nice to meet you, Hunter Han Joo-yeon. My name is Master K of the Zodiac Guild.”
Then, he erased the smile on his lips and faced K.
“Nice to meet you. It’s Han Joo-yeon.”
They greet you in a very businesslike manner.
What.
This huge temperature difference.
As if K felt this clearly, his smile faded for the first time since we met.
To blur a smile that couldn’t be erased even with all the strong wording, all at once.
That’s great, Han Joo-yeon.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The story progressed quickly with businesslike Jooyeon Han appearing on the mound.
The content of the designation request is simple.
Attack of a large A-class dungeon.
The reward is 20% each from the total amount of all rewards from the dungeon.
They even said they would pay the taxes themselves.
“I like the condition itself.”
A horse is 20%, two people is 40%.
In a dungeon with 20 people, if two of them eat 40%, the other 16 eat 60%.
No matter how much they are lumped together into guilds, the figures are very salty.
Me or the main character.
As I was making a satisfied expression, the guy with a thick smile that had faded asked me.
“Then can I consider accepting our guild’s request?”
To this, Juyeon smiled and replied.
“Um~ I’ll follow Do-jin’s opinion.”
“Following opinions means…”
“It means that if Dojini does it, I will do it, and if not, I won’t.”
Hearing the unexpected answer, K’s blue eyes shudder.
“Looks like you two are much closer than you thought. You look very good together.”
“Not to that extent…”
I was trying to say
“Ho Ho! If you see it that way, you’re good to go. Dojin-ah, should we just accept this request?”
“…”
Why do you go over the hall?
