Chapter 596 – S-Class Hunter (5)
*
“Wow… Can you guys see over there? The Shinigami has appeared!”
The broadcaster who was broadcasting with a camera in the corner shouted in a quiet voice and grabbed the screen.
“Wow. This is my first time meeting you in person. It seems like the Force is no joke when you’re this far away! There are famous hunters over there too… That one…”
Those who had no interest in the actual test and just wanted to eat the soybeans nearby began to drool at the appearance of the big names.
How many of the people here will be able to pass anyway?
Even hunters who are said to be fast and long have been unable to overcome the S-class wall, so even if the standards have been relaxed, it is unlikely that many people will pass.
Just because everyone is an awakened doesn’t mean they enter the gate and live by hunting monsters.
There are people who live in a different direction because they are healthier and have a better appearance than the public.
In the first place, anyone who was awakened could take the test, so it was natural that these people would be attracted.
‘Honestly, it’s a bit of a waste of money, but if we can catch a big name like Shinigami on the screen, we can increase the number of subscribers. I’ll stick to it this time.’
Kim Broadcasting, who came into the testing room to gather subscribers through broadcasting, was one of them.
Kim Broadcast tried to calm his trembling hands as much as possible to capture the reaper on the screen.
Although it has appeared several times on the news, it feels different seeing it on the news and on a personal broadcast.
Thinking of gathering as much recognition as possible this time, Kim Dong-bong gathered his magic power and calmed his trembling hands.
The moment I captured the Shinigami overpowering everyone in the air on the screen, the door opened, and another hunter appeared.
“I still have a lot of work to do. Are you planning on making me do this useless thing?”
“And.! Brothers Choi Arin Hunter also appeared. Usually, he flies around on a broomstick. With light blue hair… How old are you? If you ask me my age… “
“Tsk. It looks like there are a lot of people who don’t know what to think.”
“Haha. “This is my first time, so it’s no wonder I’m interested.”
A middle-aged man with gray hair and wearing an improved hanbok appears next to a mysterious magical empress.
“Wow. It’s Choi Tae-soo. Choi Tae-soo is said to be the strongest in Korea.”
“Still, it seems like a lot of people came in thinking it was some sort of light prank.”
“O. Huh?!”
The moment Governor Cho placed his foot on the ground, most of the people around him began to kneel.
When the Reaper appeared, the air simply felt heavy, but the moment Choi Tae-soo appeared, an unknown force began to weigh down the surroundings.
Not all awakened people are the same, and with the appearance of Choi Tae-soo, people who cannot even breathe properly began to appear.
Choi Tae-soo clicked his tongue when he saw that.
Even though he had already adjusted his strength sufficiently, he couldn’t hold on. If Tae-soo Choi had his way, most of the people here would have collapsed under the pressure.
“Huh. Ugh. Huh.”
“Did he try to become an S-class hunter when he couldn’t even endure this much? “Everyone who thinks they are in the wrong place should leave.”
In order to evaluate A-level hunters, of course, there must be something more than that.
People that all Korean hunters would recognize were gathered in one place.
Those who couldn’t even get C rank began to crawl towards the entrance in a hurry, probably because they thought they might die if they stayed here.
The moment many people suddenly moved and were about to collide with each other, Yoon Seung-ah, who was in the air, sighed and controlled the people.
‘Anyway. ‘I do things without even thinking about what happens afterward.’
Under Yoon Seung-ah’s control, the small children escaped, and only the proper applicants remained in their places.
“Ha-am… I think just the two of us will be enough anyway. “If this is enough, I can go, right?”
“Wait a minute, Choi A-rin Hunter.!”
“Because the contract was completed anyway.”
Choi Ari briefly glanced at Kang Min-ah before leaving her place.
Considering that all the people who had retired from active duty were gathered together, it seemed that the creation of a new grade, which was thought to be a useless task, was not without meaning.
As soon as she finished cleaning up her surroundings, Choi Arin yawned and turned around with a haughty face. Everyone couldn’t take their eyes off her mysterious aura.
As soon as she disappeared, the association president cleared his throat a few times and opened his mouth again.
“If this happens, the number tags we gave you previously will be meaningless. Everyone, please stand in a line.”

“Is it number 690?”
Even though most people left, many people remained in the testing room.
It was bound to be like that, since there were people from class A hunters currently on active duty to those who had already retired from active duty and were resting.
__I guess it’s more bearable than I thought?
__Isn’t there nothing special about S level?
There were some idiots who were making noise without knowing that Choi Tae-soo had adjusted his strength, but they were probably B-level or higher.
Sometimes I see people whose faces I have seen on the news, and I thought that most of the people who say they are flying and going are here.
While there were some who showed off their presence by emitting magical power, there were also hunters who could not even see the magical power.
Most of the people who waste magical energy without even knowing the content of the test are probably worthless.
“Next hunter number 135!”
“Yep!!”
Hunters disappeared as soon as their numbers were called, and looking at the speed at which the number of people was decreasing, it didn’t seem like it was a very long evaluation.
The hunters gathered in groups of twos and threes and started talking, perhaps because they had some free time.
Still, I adjusted my voice as if I wasn’t paying attention.
__I entered the gate this time…
__How is the Hyeonmu Guild these days? Is it worth living?
Maybe it was because only awakened people gathered together, but it was quite refreshing that the topic of conversation was not common.
The academy is also in that kind of environment, but since it is not in active service yet, it is mainly about the academy-related content.
“Phew. I guess it’s inevitable to be nervous, Siwoo.”
“Yes.”
Seo-ah, Hye-ji, and Jeong Su-ah had already entered the exam room, and Min-ji, Da-eun, and I were the only ones left.
I could see Kim Tae-yeon watching from afar, but she seemed to be with people from the Republic of Korea Academy.
“Whoa… Seed. “I really don’t know. Is it right for me to come here?”
Minji was still nervous and couldn’t calm down, and Da-eun seemed to be the same.
‘You little bastards.’
It may be even more so because there are people who pay attention to us who look like cadets.
In particular, it must be because of that man who is glaring at me from afar as if he were going to kill me.
Did you say White Tiger Guild?
I heard he was probably a hunter from there.
I didn’t know much, but it seems to be quite well known among hunters.
I don’t know why a guy like that looks at the cadet so negatively.
‘What are you looking at?’
Because he kept glaring in this direction, we made eye contact.
The guy was looking at me with eyes that looked like he was going to kill someone at any moment. I also responded without avoiding his eyes.
Na Daenam, who was far away, probably didn’t like the idea of not avoiding his gaze, and trudged this way.
“Under. Are you a bold bastard?”
“What’s going on?”
“Nothing cheap.”
Na Daenam, who comes up to me and swears at me, is this guy out of his mind?
‘Aren’t you the one who doesn’t have anything to do with it?’
I wanted to respond informally, but this was a place where many active hunters were gathered.
It wasn’t good for me, who didn’t even have a license yet, to be seen leaving by a teenage guild member.
“So what’s going on?”
“Under. Well, I just came here to talk to the famous Saint Doraghile.”
Daenam Na puts emphasis on the word cadet. As an active hunter, he didn’t seem to like being in the same exam room as a cadet.
Na Daenam secretly emits magical power. Still, it was clear that he wasn’t lying about belonging to a teenage guild. It was definitely a high-level magical power.
Of course, I wasn’t pushed by that either.
“Is that so?”
Even though he pressed me down with magical power, I took it back without any hesitation.
Is this all you’re going to do, White Tiger Guild?
The Master of the Shinigami Guild is my mother-in-law, you bastard.
“Under. “I said let’s see this.”
I expected him to be shocked, but perhaps because he didn’t bend at all, Na Daenam started releasing more magical power.
I couldn’t just sit still, so I responded in the same way, and sparks began to fly in the air due to a collision of magic power.
“Hey Kim Si-woo! Stop it.!”
Minji, who sensed something was unusual, began to stop me, and a woman who appeared to belong to the same guild as Na Daenam stopped him.
“Daenam, stop it. “What are you doing to a cadet who is not even a child!”
“No, this guy is arrogant.”
“What am I?”
“Hi.!”
It felt like they were about to attack at any moment. If they hadn’t retrieved their weapons upon entering, they would have at least pulled out their knives.
‘Well, I guess I’ll still be discerning.’
No matter how crazy he is, he won’t fight here.
There would be nothing to gain by fighting in a place where there are hunters from all kinds of large guilds and a big-time hunter like Choi Tae-soo.
“Daenam!”
In a moment, I saw that all eyes around me were focused on this direction.
Certainly, I don’t know if it was because of old man Choi Tae-soo, but I seemed to be quite well-known among hunters.
Hunters must be curious, what kind of guy was it that Taesoo Choi recommended?
It was Na Daenam who started the fight first, but there were also people who cast unfavorable looks in my direction.
I guess this is territoriality. From their perspective, it would look like a stone that suddenly rolled over.
“Next Hunter No. 153!”
“Tsk. “I will be watching you.”
Na Daenam clicks his tongue and walks away, wondering if 153 is his number.
I answered with my mouth visible only to him.
[So what.
“… “This… This bastard!!”
“Number 153!!! Is there no hunter number 153!! If you are not present, you will be disqualified!!”
“It’s here!! See you next time.”
Na Daenam said that and disappeared from his seat. I wasn’t afraid of him at all.
‘What am I going to do with you?’
There’s a shinigami guild behind me. What should I do?
Jian-nim is also watching this way.
So when will my turn come?
