chapter 23
23 episodes
“Who are you?”
Kim Young-hwan’s eerie eyes, torn horizontally, scanned the conference room.
The civil servant hunters who met their eyes could not overcome the momentum and reluctantly got out of the way. Naturally, I and Kim Young-hwan met face to face.
“I think I’m senile, so why not retire and go home and rest?”
“Is that a will?”
“I’ve heard a lot of wills, but I’ve never done them. and.”
He looked at Kim Young-hwan and smiled.
“I’ve never seen one sacrifice himself for a person who talks about sacrifice.”
“dare!”
Kim Young-hwan, unable to contain his anger, stretched out his hand. It was a surprise attack that looked like it had caught quite a few people even though it was not the main weapon of the sword.
“Minister!”
Before Jeong Da-hyun’s surprised voice could be dispersed, Kim Young-hwan’s right hand reached my face.
Pot!
After lightly flicking Kim Young-hwan’s hand, he reached out to grab hold of the neck in reverse. Kim Young-hwan twisted his body and pushed my hand away with his left hand and swung his right hand with all his might. As I grabbed it, it squirmed like a snake floating on its side and collided with my holding power.
bang!
As the force and mines entangled, a strong explosion sound resounded. The Hunters, who were watching the situation, were terrified and retreated. I tried to let go of my hand, but Kim Young-hwan did not let go and induced a strong fight.
I’m going to have to press down on me with an overwhelming amount of force, but fighting me with all the experiences, force, and gifts of the hematoma is itself an act of suicide.
Gee!
The surrounding atmosphere trembled, and strong waves spread out in all directions.
The superiority of power was soon revealed.
Kim Young-hwan, who had endured equally for a while, but soon reached the limit, began to heat up.
“Ugh!”
“·················ogue.”
As I trampled the force wriggling inside, I was lost in thought.
how to deal with it Shall I end it like this? It’s easy for me to put an end to the kind of inspiration that ages and barely exerts half of its heyday.
In the past, I would have killed them mercilessly.
However, since the plan has been established, I decided to give it a generous opportunity.
“If you get down on your knees and apologize, I’ll take care of it.”
“···bloke!”
Is this a generous disposition that even saves lives?
If the other person doesn’t accept it, you have no choice but to deal with it.
Quadd!
Kim Young-hwan’s eyes trembled as my mines began to penetrate into the bones. He endures the pressure with the majestic force he has built up throughout his life, but that’s all, his bones are twisting, and as it progresses, it can’t be shattered and turned into powder.
It was when Kim Young-hwan’s face turned red as if it was about to explode.
“haha! Minister! do it like this Junho Choi, you too.”
Jung Joo-ho, who intervened in the middle, separated me and Kim Young-hwan. I wanted to do more, but when I saw Jung Joo-ho’s facial features showing a flashy movement, he quietly backed away.
Anyway, he had broken his pride and his arm was in a state of being half-blind.
“I think there must have been a misunderstanding.”
“Now, even if you listen to what that guy said, you say that?”
Kim Young-hwan exclaimed as he forcibly supported his weak arm.
Jung Joo-ho made a pitiful expression on his face.
“You know what kids don’t listen to these days, don’t you? This guy doesn’t understand me well. And the Minister’s request is actually quite problematic.”
“What?”
“Both the Berserker and the Puppeteer have ways to catch them with minimal damage. As long as the Minister does his best.”
“·················ogue.”
Kim Young-hwan closed his mouth when he nakedly pointed out the plan to take the fruit while leaving as much room as possible.
“We all work with a sense of duty, but it is not easy if we ask them to dig a place to die and enter. Minister, please use more force.”
After those words, Joo-ho Jeong looked at Young-hwan Kim. If he had greeted people with a friendly smile a while ago, now he is the face of the director of the National Security Agency who is trying to protect his subordinates to the end.
Kim Young-hwan, who looked around and licked his lips, turned around.
“I just lost my appetite. Do whatever you want!”
“thank you!”
Jung Joo-ho struck a wedge towards Kim Young-hwan, who went out. Relieved, he looked at me and his eyes were torn horizontally like Kim Young-hwan.
“Whoa! Everyone except Choi Jun-ho go out!”
The National Guard Hunters who were glancing at me went out of the conference room.
“What are you thinking?”
Did you find out that you were trying to kill me? After all, the chief is a ghost.
“Still, it doesn’t kill me.
“Originally, he’s a greedy yangban. He was trying to establish his position with this case. It was reckless, but thanks to you, there will be no pointless sacrifice. Thank you.”
huh? I guess I had a different direction of thinking. I also got a sense of humor, so I nodded my head in agreement without ending the conversation.
“Yeah, even if you do, get recognized as level 8 and do it. Then the government can’t say anything about it because there is a substitute system. But the best thing is to go in moderation. know?”
“I still do.”
“Don’t gossip.”
That’s true. If it didn’t go well, I would have just broken my neck.
It seems that no one understands my sincerity these days.
“To be honest, there seems to be too many sayings not to do this and that.”
“Because that’s why the organization is maintained.”
“It’s difficult.”
“Even at home, your parents say don’t do this, don’t do that, don’t you? No, why do I have to teach you this in the first place? Am I your nanny?”
“I think you will do well as a nanny.”
“I have no intention of doing it. get out.”
I came out as if kicked out. The eyes of the National Protection Agency Hunters, who were each doing their own thing, gathered. Is it because you caught Kim Young-hwan like a mouse? My eyes were different from before. In the midst of that, Dahyun Jung came to me with a worried face on her face.
“Junho, can you spare a moment for me?”
“Yes.”
We headed to the cafe on the first floor. Dahyun Jeong, who had been hesitant as she got the drink and fiddled with the mug, bowed her head to me.
“Sorry.”
“What are you talking about?”
“As a shooter, I should have objected first. But I made Junho go out.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“No, Honorary Minister Kim Young-hwan is a narrow-minded person, so he will try to get revenge as long as he collides with Mr. Junho.”
The word revenge was equivalent to the word suicide to me.
No one came back alive to take revenge on me.
There’s no reason to refuse from my point of view that an unsightly inspiration is coming to die.
“How are you talking about revenge?”
“It will be many things. During that time, I was a person who talked a lot about the lust for power and the bad news. There is a high possibility that the brakes will come on the way things are handled or with promotions.”
“There won’t be any damage.”
After receiving the recovery pills from Lee Se-hee, the number of cases of excessive suppression decreased noticeably, and there was no desire for promotion.
But rather than staying quiet as a 9th-level civil servant hunter, I just wondered if I should be treated according to my skills.
“It’s embarrassing, but it’s not easy for me to help Junho in this field because it’s not my specialty.”
“it’s okay.”
“But if it’s Se-hee, I think I can give you some advice for Jun-ho.”
“Lee Se-hee, the team leader?”
“Sehee is excellent as an awakener, but she is also very resourceful, so she has the greatest influence on the Holy Guild. How about talking to Se-hee?”
Jung Da-hyun’s eyes were full of regret and worry.
It really doesn’t matter.
However, if Lee Se-hee is resourceful, I think he can help me with the troubles I am currently struggling with.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to ask for advice once in a while.
“All right.”
“I’ll contact Se-hee.”
* * *
Apart from the conflict that occurred at the National Guard Bureau, preparations for the operation to capture the Berserker and the Puppeteer were completed.
I was classified as a reserve, not a strike force. As it collided with Kim Young-hwan, the biggest force, it was a measure that was concerned about unnecessary clashes at the scene.
But I broke my arm, can you fight properly?
It’s my job anyway, so I’ll take care of it, but since you can tackle me, I’ll have to argue that the bone of inspiration is so weak that it’s broken.
Apart from the mobilization of national hunters, the plan to reduce the number of hunts failed. It was the result of mobilizing all kinds of negative words in large guilds such as economic recession, job difficulties, and management crisis. Instead, they decided to mobilize reserve forces and contribute to cooperation in establishing a siege network.
So Yoon-hee went hunting as planned.
“You have to be careful.”
“okay.”
As the names of the two villains emerged, the activities of the villains who were secretly on the outskirts of the city became active. As the number of raids increased, each local villain response team became busy.
There was even an official notice saying that if he resisted, he could be killed on the spot.
“Send a signal if something happens.”
“I hope that doesn’t happen. If you keep saying things like that, it sounds like you’re going to explode.”
“It is not.”
“I know. Anyway! Now that I’m all grown up, I’ll try to get through it with my own strength. Trust me, little brother.”
“okay.”
I think it’s my brother’s heart that I can’t erase my worries while thinking that I’ve grown up with the confident Yoon-hee.
You should be fine if you just go home.
I wish I had a boyfriend who could block my attacks no more, no less.
After getting ready, Yoon-hee and I went out together. Today the destination was the same.
“But what is going on suddenly?”
“I have an appointment with Lee Se-hee.”
“What’s going on?”
“Counseling for personal concerns. Why do you look like that?”
Yoon-hee’s expression toward me was bizarre.
“Is your brother a counselor?”
“why?”
“No, the person I saw called Oppa doesn’t need counseling, it seems like they’ll just use their hands first.”
“It’s a villain.”
“That’s what you have always been like.”
“You may not know that I was the one who caught the most villains in the National Guard.
“I don’t think there are many people who know you as well as I do. Anyway, well thought out. If you are the leader of this team, you will be able to guide me on the right path.”
Do you think your brother is like a villain? Because he only deals with monsters, he speaks arbitrarily.

Meanwhile, the car we rode arrived at the Holy Guild. When I went up after parking, Dahyun Jung, who had arrived first, approached me.
“Uh, Dahyun unnie?”
“hi.”
“Why not your sister? What’s really going on?”
“not a big deal. Just simple advice.”
“Didn’t your brother do something big wrong?”
“·················ogue.”
“yes?”
I don’t know why Jeong Dahyun is silent over there.
“Oh, no. nothing. Trust me.”
“Sister, don’t you hear that I can’t lie? You’re winning right now, aren’t you?”
“It’s not really…”
“If I didn’t go up right away, I would have caught him, but I’m busy, so I’ll go. Will you tell me later?”
“okay.”
When Yoon-hee disappeared, Jeong Da-hyun breathed a sigh of relief. Then he checked his phone and said to me.
“Sehee could come right up.”
We headed to Lee Se-hee’s office.
Unlike before, today Se-hee Lee, who has been wearing full makeup since early morning, welcomed us.
“Welcome, I was quite surprised that suddenly two people wanted to talk.”
“I’m busy, sorry. But you are the only one I can turn to for advice.”
“Because I don’t like to believe. And I was curious because it was Junho’s job.”
“It’s not a big deal.”
“It’s a good day. It’s a big accident. It requires mental preparation.”
“Huh, okay? But before that.”
Lee Se-hee glanced at Jeong Da-hyun and smiled mischievously.
“As I said before, treat me comfortably as usual. No one is uncomfortable here.”
“Is that okay?”
“How are you? Dahyun-ah, is there anything inconvenient?”
“···no.”
Contrary to the words, Jeong Da-hyun’s expression looked somewhat uncomfortable. Is it because you don’t like half-talk? I should be more respectful to Jung Da-hyun.
“Now, can you tell me what happened?”
I talked about my conflict with Kim Young-hwan. A collision occurred because the brakes were applied to a rather unreasonable operation. And when he said that Jung Da-hyun was worried about retaliation in the future, Se-hee Lee made an absurd expression.
“No, actually, Junho took care of the accident, and the person concerned was more carefree? Aren’t you worried?”
“Not at all.”
“By the way, it’s even more surprising to have a level 8 superman and face each other on an equal footing. To be honest, I wondered if Junho would reach level 8 within a few years. I was also mentally prepared. But was it level 8?”
“I haven’t measured it yet, so it’s level 7.”
“…does this make common sense? Haven’t you ever heard of level 8 in your twenties?”
“You have the first record in America.”
“In Korean age, I would be 30. I thought it was great, but I didn’t know it was going to stand up to that nasty inspiration.”
Lee Se-hee drank tea one after another to keep her thirsty.
I was afraid to say that I had broken Kim Young-hwan’s arm bones, but I was afraid that Jeong Da-hyun would pass out, so I put up with it.
“Junho, you have to answer my question honestly. Really.”
“I am not a villain.”
“You never thought of that, did you? Anyway, why did you become a civil servant hunter?”
The two pairs of eyes looking at me were full of curiosity. From the point in time when I returned to the past, I remembered why I chose the civil servant Hunter and answered.
“It was my mother’s request. My father also agreed. And I chose it because I thought it would be convenient to work.”
“·················ogue.”
To be honest, the return was full of disbelief.
“It’s true.”
“Is that all?”
“okay.”
“Even if Junho wanted to, he could have made a billion-dollar down payment right now?”
“You have to work for what you get.”
“Yeah, yes, but it wouldn’t have been that hard if it was Junho-san’s level.”
Sehee Lee took a deep breath. Even Jeong Da-hyun, who led me to the National Guard, had a blank expression. Is it that surprising?
“I thought there was a great reason I never could have guessed. Dahyun-ah, did you know?”
“I didn’t know either. I thought it was just a reason to hang around, and even if there was a reason, I thought there would be a story…”
“The story was recommended by my parents.”
Lee Se-hee had a somewhat disappointed expression on her face.
“I did it for you, so I have no regrets. It wasn’t long before I became a civil servant hunter.”
“Sehee, you must be……”
Lee Se-hee, who ignored Jung Da-hyun’s words, said to me.
“There are two solutions. First, quitting civil servant hunters. The second is to be officially recognized as Level 8 as soon as possible as a member of the National Guard Bureau. These two directions will be very different. The direction will be determined by what Junho wants. What does Junho want the most as a hunter?”
“·················ogue.”
what do i really want
All I want in life is a peaceful life for my family. It is being done in the present tense, so what I need the most is the right to freely execute public affairs as a civil servant hunter.
I wish I had less work.
As a result, it came down to one thing I needed to do what I wanted to do.
“The Privilege of Non-Arrest.”
It just seemed like it could do the job really well.
