I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 38
#38. The first guardian appears
: “Kkeok, that’s right.”
Cheon Jung-ak couldn’t hold back his laughter and started giggling.
It was Cheon Jung-ak himself who confidently won the championship, beating all 12 people who passed the preliminary round and advanced to the finals.
‘Then, how much trouble did I have to tame this guy?’
When he saw the Giant sitting proudly next to him, all of his hardships flashed by like a flash of light.
I received countless advice from renowned tamer trainers and monster experts and trained desperately for six months. This guy has finally gotten his money’s worth.
“good job. Giant.”
Cheon Jung-ak slowly walked up to the podium, unable to control the corners of his mouth that kept rising.
When he felt the gaze of his father Cheon Gun-ak, he shrugged his shoulders even more and climbed onto the podium.
‘Father, I did it!’
Cheonjungak glanced at Cheongunak’s expression.
He was staring straight ahead, but Cheon Jung-ak knew.
That expression on my father’s face only comes out when he is satisfied with something.
‘I’ll get some points with this.’
My father, Cheongunak, especially loved dogs.
I liked not only dogs but all similar canine animals. I wondered if that was why Jindo dog dealer Yoo Dam-deok liked that cub so much.
‘No. ‘Let’s not have any luck remembering that bastard.’
Anyway, Cheongunak liked anything that was a dog, and the same was true for canine-type monsters.
‘Because you said it was because you were busy with hunter work when you were young that you couldn’t participate in proper taming competitions.’
Cheon Jung-ak was planning to give this trophy to his father, who always disapproved of him, to clear his mind.
‘I’m now 27, and I have to quickly secure my position as successor.’
Of course, everyone implicitly thought that Iris’s only son, Cheon Jung-ak, would be the successor, but in fact, nothing was officially announced.
‘My father is so cautious. There were also experts who said that if you leave Iris to a stranger other than your bloodline, you are likely to be offended by foreign kids.’
Well, you just have to gradually persuade them.
After returning to Korea, my father seemed to have softened up a lot compared to before.
‘I will definitely be recognized this time!’
Cheon Jung-ak looked at the host in charge of the award ceremony with a face full of anticipation.
The host also smiled in a business-like manner and grabbed the microphone.
“ah! ah! Now, we will begin the ‘finale march’, which is the last step of the main competition.”
The finale march was a ritual event where ordinary people who tampered with monsters as a hobby marched together to congratulate this year’s winners and commemorate the taming contest.
The finale procession will end with all of the general public participants walking around the competition hall, and the winner will receive an award ceremony in a lively atmosphere.
‘Once this is over, as soon as it’s over…!’
Therefore, Cheon Jung-ak was looking at the entrance where the finale march began with more excitement than ever.
Baamparabaam! Bam bam!
Ordinary participants appeared as colorful congratulatory trumpets began. However, soon after the march began, the back of the venue began to become noisy.
“What kind of monster is that?”
“Wow… Is this your first time seeing something like that?”
The people’s murmur grew louder, and soon, like a miracle of Moses, the crowd split into two parts.
Through the gap, a man quietly walks out.
At the same time, everyone’s eyes were focused on the wolf, who was walking in step with the man.
– Crrrrrrr…. It
was much bigger than the winner, Cheonjungak’s Hound. It was so overwhelming that the sturdy young man holding the leash looked like a child.
Not only that.
When it comes to hounds, they usually come in dark solid colors such as dark gray, brown or black. There were hounds with red fur all over, called red wolves, but men’s wolves were not at that level.
Grumble! Good luck!
Flames overflowing all over the giant wolf’s body. In an instant, the intense heat was spreading everywhere.
There was no doubt that the thing surrounding the wolf was real flame.
“Walk slowly.”
The man was comfortably controlling such a fearsome wolf with one hand.
“I… I…”
Cheon Jung-ak was so surprised that he just raised his finger and opened his mouth.
It was an instant that the mouths of not only the people watching but also the judges were talking.
‘Isn’t there a hmm?’
Damdeok walked as slowly as possible and looked around. Many people in the venue were looking in their direction.
‘I heard it’s easier to find people if you draw attention.’
Damdeok opened his eyes to find someone with unusual energy among the many people.
There was only one reason why he suddenly participated in the finale march.
The first guardian that Ju Ju-yul mentioned was that he would meet him here at the Sangun Guild’s training center.
It was also a day when quite a lot of people gathered.
Damdeok was betting on the possibility of the last words.
‘It must have been a day when a lot of people gathered.’
Today, there were twice as many people as usual.
The taming competition is a competition that many ordinary people come to watch, and even the president of the famous Iris Guild is there, so what more can I say?
But before I knew it, even though I had gone all the way around the venue, the person presumed to be the guardian was not even visible.
‘…I guess I guessed wrong.’
In the end, Damdeok had to leave with a taste of regret.
The finale march ended without any problems, but the atmosphere at the venue was already beyond control.
“A wolf wrapped in flames…”
was what one of the judges managed to say.
Starting with those words, the judges’ excited voices came and went.
“You’re just Hunter Yu Dam-deok, right? “What kind of monster did you have?”
“well. Me too…”
“Hmm, I’ve been reviewing for 10 years and this is my first time seeing this species.”
“wait a minute. “I’m currently looking up the monster encyclopedia.”
“Oh really?”
The moderator was looking around as the judges debated heatedly.
“Ah, now the honorary award ceremony… ah… the award ceremony…”
No one is paying attention to the host’s words. Cheon Jung-ak shook his clenched fist and glared at the host, and the host had to look at Cheon Jung-ak’s eyes while sweating profusely.
But nothing changed.
The atmosphere in the hall did not seem likely to subside easily.
Cheonjungak wins! I gritted my teeth.
‘This bastard… Even if you feed him taffy, he still produces oil!!’
I quickly looked towards the judge.
Father Cheon Gun-ak was staring blankly in the direction where Yu Dam-deok had disappeared.
“…Fuck you.”
In the end, Cheon Jung-ak roughly snatched the trophy from the host’s hand and came down from the podium.
* * *
Jongno Sangun Guild main building 2nd parking lot.
Quang!
Cheon Jung-ak hit the truck bed harshly and gritted his teeth.
The startled Giant barked harshly, but Cheonjungak paid him no mind.
“I really need to kill that bastard…”
“Kill who?”
A playful voice came from behind.
Cheonjungak’s eyes became fierce, but soon relaxed after checking his opponent.
“…what. “Was it you?”
“Who should I kill?”
A boy walked towards Cheon Jung-ak. He was a handsome boy with curly white hair like clouds, a face full of fun, and an appearance that could be considered a cartoon character.
“I don’t know. But why are you here now? “My father was looking for me earlier.”
Cheon Jung-ak looked the boy up and down with his arms crossed.
“Ah~ I was playing Underworld for a bit. “I was just before reaching max level.”
“Crazy guy. “Are you saying you broke your promise to your father because of the game?”
“The chairman is generous~”
Cheon Jung-ak looked at the boy who was whistling and humming with a shocked expression.
‘Anyway, I don’t like this guy either.’
White clouds.
The guy in front of me was a 17-year-old Gopi-ri, an elite member of Iris, and the most promising talent for his father.
An Oriental swordsman genius who is currently evaluated as the hunter with the greatest potential not only in Korea but also around the world.
He was a super genius among geniuses who was born with SS level swordsmanship talent.
‘I was scouted by Iris at the youngest age of 7.’
He was a pretty cute kid at the time, but at some point he grew into such a sly guy.
He was also the one most talked about as the next candidate if he did not put a wedge in the position of successor.
‘…This damn guy or that guy.’
The appearance of Baekgureum made Cheonjungak cry again for no reason.
“Why is your face so grim? Don’t worry, I won’t be late tomorrow. “I’m going to sleep in Sangun today.”
Baekgureum put the banana milk he took out of his pocket into his mouth and grinned.
At that sight, Cheon Jung-ak’s face distorted again.
‘If it’s tomorrow, it’s for sure…’
It’s the day of joint training between Iris, ranked 1st and 2nd in Korea, and Sangun.
After training, a friendly match was held for the purpose of unity, and the person listed as ‘captain’ on the roster was not him, but that bastard, Baek Goo-reum.
‘I was already planning to ask my father to change it today…!’
We give you the Taming Master trophy! But because of that bastard Yu Dam-deok, everything came to naught.
No matter what you do, Yudamdeok, Yudamdeok, Yudamdeok! Those three letters could not be erased from Cheon Jung-ak’s mind.
Sigh! Baekgureum, who drank the last of the banana milk, opened his mouth.
“But I think tomorrow will be a bit fun! There is a special match, right?
When Cheon Jung-ak saw the expression on his face, which looked like he was going to die of joy, he felt goosebumps rising.
‘Trying to make someone a half-asshole again.’
That guy Baekgureum was famous for killing half of his opponents whenever they had a sparring match.
Wasn’t he even given the nickname ‘White Ghost’ because he always torments and crushes his opponents right up to his death?
I also had a memory of being stuck with Baek Gureum at the age of 14 and almost dying.
‘He looks pretty and…’
When he was 15, I saw his father, Cheongunak, sweating against him.
Truly a monster… I wonder
how much more of a monster he has become now that he is 17 years old.
‘Tch, at least you’re on the same side, so I’ll let you go.’
If he had been an enemy, he would have been eliminated long ago.
Cheonjungak glanced at Baekgureum with an annoyed expression on his face, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.
Wait what did you just say?
Special match?
I don’t remember hearing anything like that…
“There is a special match in this friendly match?”
“Oh, I’m going out alone, not you, so you don’t have to worry about me.”
Cheonjungak wanted to sew up the mouth of Baekgureum, who was chatting brightly, but he held back and asked back.
“Who are you doing it with?”
“Six Star.”
“uh?”
Baekgureum said, throwing back the banana milk he had finished eating.
I obviously threw it without looking, but it went straight into a trash can that was quite far away.
“Don’t you know Six Star Yoo Dam-deok? I heard there will be a special match with that person tomorrow? haha. It’s gonna be fun.”
Cheon Jung-ak’s strangely crumpled face gradually brightened as he looked at the white clouds laughing in front of him.
“Hey, can I ask you a favor?”
