chapter 44
44 episodes
An F-class skeleton that successfully blocked the attacks of the F-class Awoken.
But there are B-class skeletons too?
Director Park, who was quietly serving as Chairman Yeo Un-koo, said with a firm expression.
“If it’s a B-class skeleton…”
Han Ji-hyuk shrugged and said.
“It’s exactly what you imagine.”
In other words, it is a bodyguard skeleton that can deal with B-class Awoken.
Then, Yeo Woon-gu smiled brightly and said.
“Is that true? Do you have a B-class bodyguard skeleton?”
“Sure.”
“Then, you mean that if you carry several B-classes… you can stop A-class as well?”
“It depends on the situation, but it’s not impossible.”
At that time, Director Park looked at Han Ji-hyeok and said,
“May I know how many B-grades there are?”
“There are five.”
5 B grades.
Awakeneds have so many different kinds of abilities that it is impossible to generalize them, but it is known that the higher Awakeneds usually share the share of about 5 Awakeneds of the lower level.
Based on such calculations, it is said that if there are 5 B-class, one person of A-class can do the same.
‘There are over 100 skeletons just now, and even 5 of them can deal with B-class Awoken? This is absolutely not a level A-class Awakener can do.’
Since the number of skeletons working at Seron has already exceeded 10,000, there have been opinions that Han Ji-hyeok is absolutely not A-class, but this has surpassed that level.
At that time, Han Ji-hyuk said with a look of disappointment.
“ah! By the way, these guys don’t have the ability to attack. Because they were created by focusing only on security and defense. Instead, a degree of suppression that catches and restricts movement is possible.”
Han Ji-hyuk’s explanation that he has no offensive ability.
But that fact didn’t matter at all.
Considering Han Ji-hyeok’s ability to change the plug, it’s not because he couldn’t put in his offensive ability.
‘Are those 100 all? no. It can’t be.’
Considering the steps Han Ji-hyuk has shown so far, there is a high probability that those 100 bodyguard skeletons were just a taste.
What if there were more than 100 skeletons like that, 1,000 or more?
At that time, Yeo Woon-gu, who was intoxicated with the fact that a skeleton might be able to take the place of Director Park, said in an excited voice.
“Are there five skeletons that can block B-class Awoken? Manager Park.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
“Can 5 A-class Awakeners be prevented?”
This is something that Park himself is curious about.
“I don’t know for sure.”
Then Han Ji-hyuk said.
“Would you like to test it? I’m curious as I haven’t done the Class A Awakening test either.”
Then, Director Park nodded and said.
“good.”
“OK.”
When Jihyuk Han flicks his finger, the five B-class skeletons at the end line up behind him.
Director Park said as he took a stance.
“What level shall we do it?”
“Umm… opportunities like this aren’t common, so let’s take it seriously. I won’t do anything even if it’s smashed, so feel free to do it.”
Then Yeo Woon-gu, who was next to him, said in an urgent voice.
“Then, if everything is destroyed, there will not be enough skeletons to take with me. Director Park’s skills are not normal.”
“Don’t worry, even if it breaks, you can make it again.”
Han Ji-hyeok answered in a light tone, but the answer made her goosebumps even more.
A summoned beast that can be recreated at any time even if it is smashed.
This was by no means a realm that humans could imitate.
Director Park looked at Han Ji-hyeok with a serious expression and said.
“Then I will go without hesitation.”
“Please come.”
Director Park rushed to Han Ji-hyeok when he had finished speaking and threw his fists covered in red brilliance.
But then.

Moongrass!
One of the skeletons behind him embraces Han Ji-hyeok with great speed and defends it with his body.
Director Park’s fist, which hit the skeleton’s body, not Han Ji-hyuk.
pop!
At that moment, the red glow surrounding the fist made an explosion sound, and part of the skeleton’s body was smashed as it is.
It was the explosion that was the ability of Director Park.
“It’s also Manager Park!”
A Class B skeleton that lost a part of its body to the attack of Director Park, who is a Class A Awakened.
However, despite the cheers of the bodyguards, Director Park’s expression remained firm.
‘I’m still blocking it.’
He suffered so much damage that he would have died instantly if he were a human, but the skeleton still protects Han Ji-hyuk even by twisting his body.
where is that
While the skeleton was sacrificing to protect it, two of the remaining four skeletons approached Director Park and tried to suppress it, and the remaining two pulled Han Ji-hyeok back.
It was truly the epitome of a bodyguard.
‘Is this a skeleton?’
A collaboration of skeletons who literally seemed to have devoted everything to security.
Park said, biting her lip.
“I’ll show you right.”
Director Park began to show off his skills in earnest.
The skeletons who tried to suppress such an attack by Director Park did not last long and both were destroyed.
But then.
One skeleton hugs Han Ji-hyeok and then runs away from it.
“Ugh!”
Director Park was unable to move properly because of the skeletons that were suddenly attached to it.
While Director Park was hurriedly hitting the skeletons, Han Ji-hyeok’s voice came from the skeleton who had already escaped.
“So far.”
Then the skeletons stopped moving in an instant.
Han Ji-hyeok said with a voice of admiration as he got off the skeleton.
“Hey. That’s great. Escape mode is activated.”
“Escape mode?”
“When an unmatched enemy appears, all but one of them sacrifices themselves to take time, and the last one is the last way to escape the guard.”
Then, Yeo Woon-gu shrugged and said.
“Because our manager Park’s skills are great.”
“That’s it. I thought 5 would be enough to stop one A-class person. I guess I’ll have to consider a countermeasure for each ability. By the way, Manager Park, how are you guys doing?”
After thinking about it for a while, Director Park said.
“He is an excellent bodyguard. Five skeletons like this will save the president’s life at least once in any situation, unless the S-Class Awakener is aiming for it.”
“Yes?”
Han Ji-hyuk said to Yeo Woon-goo.
“How about you, bodyguard skeleton. Five seems a little unsettling, so I don’t think it’s bad to add two to seven.”
“good. I will buy it.”
“It’s not about buying, it’s about renting. Since they don’t have the ability to attack, they only cost half the price of an Awoken bodyguard of the same class. I don’t think it would be bad to protect you for 24 hours instead.”
“It’s fine.”
While Han Ji-hyeok and Yeo Woon-gu were talking about the price and the number of rentals, Director Park looked at the half-broken skeletons and thought.
‘Awakened-class skeletons that can be restored at any time. Even more than ten thousand normal skeletons.’
Han Ji-hyeok was already bringing winds of change to Korea with the seron.
But now, they have no attack ability, but are actually making a skeleton for battle.
Director Park thought while looking at Ji-hyeok Han, who was smiling while talking with Yeo Woon-goo.
‘A person who can do everything alone.’
A one-man factory and a one-man corps at the same time.
Han Ji-hyeok was a monster with both force and wealth.
But that makes it more reassuring.
At first, I got goosebumps at the fact that there are many skeletons of this level, but in the first place, considering that Han Ji-hyeok is not an A-class, but an S-class or higher awakener, it is easy to accept.
And if the summons of such a strong person protects Yeo Woon-gu, he will be able to return to his daily life with peace of mind.
“Thank you, Representative Han.”
Han Ji-hyuk smiled brightly at the words of Director Park.
“Don’t worry. Isn’t customer safety a top priority? That way everyone can be safe and hire more bodyguard skeletons. Isn’t it?”
Park said with a smirk.
“That is correct. Anyway, I ask for the safety of the president.”
*
“okay? Did Director Park resign?”
“Yes. I had my resignation ceremony today and I completely resigned.”
Yeowoongi said with her eyes shining.
“Hey. My older brother can’t do anything because he’s anxious without Director Park. What should I do with this? You couldn’t even go to work, did you?”
Yeo Woon-gi, president of Yeoryung Trading, a subsidiary of the Yeoryung Group.
He was Yeo Woon-goo’s younger brother and at the same time a rival who competed for successor to the Yeo-ryung group.
“Did our half-pun hyung go to work?”
It was Yeo Woon-gi, who had been proving her skills by working hard to occupy the Yeo-ryung group, but it was Yeo Woon-goo who was finally chosen in the succession competition.
Of course, Yeo Woon-gi could not accept that fact.
Although Yeo Woon-goo’s performance was very good and the group’s ranking was improved by 5 stages, he showed excellent management skills, but Yeo Woon-goo had a fatal flaw that would never go away.
The group president who sleeps every night because of anxiety.
Nevertheless, the fact that Yeo Woon-gu has led the Yeo-ryung group without any major problems is thanks to the presence of Director Park, who can compensate for his shortcomings.
However, since such director Park resigned, I thought that maybe another opportunity would come to me…
“Yes. You said you went to work.”
Yeo Woon-gi said with a surprised expression.
“Did you go to work? You don’t even have Director Park?”
“I always carry seven newly hired bodyguards with me.”
Then he said with a smirk.
“The quality isn’t good, so we compete with quantity, what is it? Surely those 7 people aren’t all B-class. Will that fill the vacancy for Director Park?”
It was evident from the fact that there were only two B-class Awoken members belonging to the president’s bodyguard that it was not common to find a single B-class bodyguard.
In other words, it is impossible to save seven B-class Awakened bodyguards at once due to the nature of this floor.
“But it is said that all seven of them are wearing helmets.”
“Are you going to hide your identity by wearing a helmet? More certain.”
Yeo Woon-gi, convinced that he couldn’t replace Director Park’s place, filled the surroundings with gossip and put on a helmet to hide their identity so that they could not recognize their skills.
Yeo Woon-gi said with his eyes shining.
“Boa Hani seems to be forced to go to work even if he is anxious because of the attention of the executives and employees…”
Yeo Woon-gi’s guess is that if he leaves the house immediately after Park’s disappearance, his credibility as the group’s chairman will drop.
“Can I touch you a little?”
At this time, the thought of how it would be nice to lightly touch Yeo Woon-goo’s trauma passed through Yeo Woon-gi’s head.
Even if he creates a dangerous situation, Yeo Woon-goo will immediately explode with anxiety, and he may even live in the house as it is.
In that case, the position of the next group president was 100% his own.
After thinking for a moment, Yeo Woon-gi said with a bright eye.
“okay. It was a place that didn’t suit my brother anyway. So just stay quiet and rest at home.”
*
“Whoa.”
A man stood in a dark alleyway and exhaled cigarette smoke.
“I say it again. It scares me a little bit.”
Then a man scratched his head and said,
“This is really good, isn’t it?”
They are the guild members of the Fighting Dogs Guild who was commissioned by Yeo Woon-gi.
The request they received was to go into Yeo Woon-goo’s house at night and scare them.
However, although they are called Awakeners and contract solvers who do bad things, it is true that it is an enormous burden.
“Anyway, as the chairman of a chaebol group, it wouldn’t be a big deal if things went wrong.”
Then the man smiled and said.
“You don’t have to worry about that. It’s okay if you don’t get caught, so what’s the problem? Besides, the person who commissioned this was from the family of the chaebol group.”
“Is that so?”
“I have already received all the inside information. Manager Park, who is a Grade A, has resigned, and the Team Leaders who are Grade B have already left work and are not at home. All that’s left is the 7 new people they hired, and that’s about it, right?”
The men are in B-class, and the remaining six guild members are all C-class.
The Awakeneds who remained at home were not their opponents.
“It really doesn’t matter if they are stronger than you think. All you have to do is realize that we’ve been attacked and run away. Where else can you find such an easy quest? In any case, not all 7 of them are B-class, and they will not be sitting next to Chairman Yeo Woon-gu 24 hours a day. Then you have to do well to get 2 or 3 people below C level, isn’t that easy?”
“It is.”
said the man, throwing out a cigarette.
“ruler. Let’s go in.”
The fighting dogs guild members who wore masks and climbed the fence of Yeo Woon-gu’s house lightly along the route prepared in advance.
“The emergency alarm must have sounded, so move quickly. Chairman Yeo Woon-goo’s room is over there on the second floor! Everyone run.”
Seven guild members jumped to the second floor railing in an instant and broke the window.
“I’ll check the guys outside, so you clean the inside.”
“Yes!”
Then the men went inside.
From then on, there is a loud bang in the room of Chairman Yeo Woon-goo.
“Anyway, they’re tough guys.”
Did 30 seconds pass like that?
The room in Yeo Woon-gu’s room became quiet in an instant.
The man, noticing that the situation was over, said as he entered through the window.
“what. When it’s over, you should call me…”
However, the man who checked the situation inside was speechless.
All seven new bodyguards, who were supposed to be two or three at the most because they would take turns guarding, were in Yeo Woon-gu’s room, and all of his subordinates were suppressed by them and were struggling on the floor.
The man said with a puzzled expression.
“Information leaked!”
If it wasn’t for that, there would be no way all 7 of us would be guarding Yeo Woon-gu until this late hour.
At that time, Yeo Woon-gu, who had arisen from the commotion, shouted.
“Enemy!”
Then two bodyguards in helmets rushed towards the man.
Confused about whether or not to run away, the man hurriedly swung his fist and attacked the two of them.
However.
puck!
The giants trying to subdue a man without even moving a fist.
Seeing that, the man immediately realized.
“B, B-class!?”
Because there are only B-class or higher Awakenings who can survive being hit by their own B-class fists.
Then, when the gloved giant’s hand reached out, the man avoided himself and swung his fist in the face again.
At that moment, the man’s fist broke a part of the helmet, revealing the identity hidden inside.
“Hey profit!”
It’s just a skeleton.
“Why is the skeleton here!?”
*
The raid on the house of the chairman of the Yeoryung group.
And the result was absolutely perfect, as if it was intentionally directed.
The bodyguard skeletons who were protecting Yeo Woon-gu subdued all 7 intruders, including B-class Awoken.
And as a result of the investigation, it was revealed that he was trying to amplify the trauma by frightening him at the request of his younger brother, Woon-gi.
And in the aftermath of that incident…
– Chairman Han, can you afford a bodyguard skeleton?
“There is some room for F and E classes, but there are no C and B classes.”
– Uh huh. Already?
Calls come from all directions from the rich and wealthy.
-I want to rent a class B, when will it be possible?
If I were to make it, I could make a grade A instead of a B grade, but I thought it would be too strange to do so in a situation known as A grade, so I ended up with just 7 B grades.
But when I think about it, there is no reason why I should be restrained.
‘Are you just taking this opportunity to take a proper test?’
The doubts that always run to me are assumptions such as how it’s grade A.
There’s no reason why I have to be an A in the first place.
I’m in a situation where I’ve decided to live my life without notice, so should I just get a high rating and move freely?
‘If you get a high rating, the number of annoying people will decrease drastically.’
I thought for a while and said.
“Chairman, I am going to take a rating test soon, right? If you receive an S-grade or higher, we plan to produce an additional B-grade as a commemoration, so we will contact you at that time.”
I mentioned the S-class too casually.
-Five! Is that true? Then we will wait!
However, even the president who contacted me takes it for granted.
After the call, I said with a smirk.
“okay. Everyone already concludes that it can’t be A-class, but what does this mean?”
So just get a high rating and then rush to Mudepo.
“Is there a registry office in Gunsan? Go straight… No. Still, it’s S-level or higher, is it tested at the general registry?”
After thinking for a while, I called the registry director, who always annoyed me on my cell phone.
-···Chairman Han?
For the first time, the registry director answered the first call I made with a bewildered voice.
“Director, I’m thinking of taking a test, right? Can I do it at the Gunsan Registry?”
Then the chief was shocked and said:
– Are you really?
“Really.”
– Come on, wait a minute. The High Awakening test requires preparation. Do you want to do it at the Gunsan registry?
“I’m tired of going far.”
-All right! We’ll get in touch with you for testing as soon as possible!
“Let me know when you have time.”
After finishing the call, I said with a relaxed expression.
“okay. Let’s just get a clean grade and go.”
