I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 42

Episode 042

Honestly, I thought you would be very happy, but I was a little disappointed.

The emotion seemed to show on his face as the assistant manager quickly made an excuse.

“No, it’s good that Mr. Moa came, but…”

The assistant manager, who was speechless, bit his lip.

Then the deputy manager pointed at the folder and asked a question.

“This time too?”

I don’t know what it means, but the assistant manager’s face crumpled when he heard those words.

Then he shook his head with a tearful face.

“This time too. The hunter who came to come in this time is also a complete idiot.”

“The guild leader brought you here, didn’t he?”

“That’s right. I can’t tell if it’s a guild leader or a collector of tombs. Where on earth do you find such colorful assholes? Could it be that the skill of collecting tombs is something like that?”

It’s been a while since we met, but the assistant manager’s talkativeness is still the same.

I think I know what’s going on, but it’s not a problem worth meddling in, so I was quietly listening.

“Oh my. Do you think you can participate in the strategy?”

“I’m confident, but the damage meter is at F rank. That’s the level of killing a F-rank animal? But he’s shouting so loudly that he can kill an A-rank in one hit. He’s so excited because he wants to die. If a hunter dies, the trust in the guild will only drop.”

The assistant manager smiled awkwardly and winked at me.

Even though I knew him, it seemed like he meant to control the level of my remarks in my presence, as I was still outside the guild.

But the assistant manager interpreted the glance differently.

“Yes, Mr. Moa! I came here to join. still?”

Feeling dazed, I just nodded.

“It’s not too late. Run away, Moa. This is not the place.”

“yes?”

“Is it because other guilds didn’t accept you? That can’t be possible. I heard on Moa’s news that it was a B-level monster attack.”

“No, the Heavenly Sky Guild came to me to ask me to join…”

“You came to me first? That’s amazing. Why didn’t you join? Is it because of us?”

“That’s because I’m a bit unlucky.”

“Ah. I know, I know.”

The attitude of the sky guild seems to be quite famous.

They have been in the guild industry before me, so they must have already experienced it.

“Yeah, but it will be the same no matter which guild you go to. Before I came here, I only saw market managers, so I thought hunters were always the best. “I thought there were super supers everywhere. But what can I do? If I want to go to the dungeon, I have to duck.”

The assistant manager, who spoke bitterly, nodded.

“Our guild isn’t that great, but if that’s the reason, it’s not a bad idea to join. If you come, Mr. Moa, I’m welcome. Even so, a lot of hunters have left the guild, so the guild is empty. At first, it was like this. “It wasn’t that much. Then, we will prepare the registration process and there is a conference room.”

I nodded and headed to the conference room with the deputy manager.

Still, the cafeteria seemed to be full, so the manager, who had left for a moment, came back with a lot of snacks and drinks. Sitting

in the conference room like this with the two of us eating snacks, it really reminded me of the old days.

The company. That was before it went bankrupt.

It had been about two months, but it felt like a very long time ago.

As I was eating snacks and chatting with the conductor about various things, Seo Ji-han, who had been snooping around, clicked his tongue and shook his head.

– This place will soon be destroyed. There are no people.

“No way.”

I muttered a reply, avoiding the deputy manager’s gaze, and he folded his arms.

– Hmm, you’ll see. After

waiting for a while, it got a little noisy outside.

Then, the conference room door opened and two people came in.

The assistant manager and a tall-looking middle-aged man. “This is guild leader Baek Gwang-hyeon and this is Hunter Son Mo-ah.

”

When Assistant Manager Kim, who had a reluctant face, introduced him, he smiled brightly and held out his hand. “

It’s nice to meet you. Isn’t he the most famous hunter in Korea right now?”

His joking appearance makes him look more like a local guy than a hunter or a guild leader.

Wow, this is so different from the image of a guild leader I had in mind.

“I heard that you kicked the Sky Guild and came to our guild. You have eyes for seeing!”

While I was holding hands and shaking hands, Seo Ji-han was looking at the guild leader with a sharp face.

He was carefully examining the guild leader with narrowed eyes and said in an interesting tone.

– You’re so weak? You can beat him too.

In fact, shake hands . When I did it, I felt that my grip

strength was at a terrible level.

So I thought I was a magical hunter, but I guess that’s not the case.

After my magical abilities blossomed, I was able to recognize the opponent’s magical power to a certain extent, but this guild leader had almost none of that.

– Production world I don’t think so, but it’s unusual.

It’s unusual.

– I don’t know how he’s the guild leader when he has such weak combat power.

I agree with what he said.

I guess I didn’t even properly disclose my awakening for fear of being taken advantage of because I don’t have combat skills.

“Now . Although our guild is small, we will eventually be able to become prosperous. Even the Heavenly Steel and Daehan guilds will not be able to do anything rashly. Because I have an eye for recognizing talented people. Let us work hard and trample on the Daehan guild and become number one! Put your hands together. “I have high expectations for Hunter too!”

It was a bit absurd to suddenly pour out such passionate passion, but it wasn’t that bad to say that he had high expectations for me.

However, I didn’t miss the way the assistant manager shook his head slightly so as not to be noticeable.

“Although we are not currently receiving permission to attack, the guild is having a hard time.” “It’s a difficult time, but let’s work together to get through it.”

After saying that, the guild leader gained momentum and left the conference room, saying that he had an agenda. The

three of us were left alone in the conference room.

The assistant manager, who had been waiting for the guild leader to leave for a moment, sighed.

“It’s like that again. That’s it.” “Don’t believe it. Even the conductor and I were fooled by those words. In fact, we’ve been in this guild for over a year, and we haven’t yet received permission to attack a dungeon.”

It’s been a year since it was created, but the number of dungeon raids is 0.

To be exact, the number of ‘permissions’ for raids is 0, which is more serious than you think.

In the past, permission for private raids was easily granted as long as the number of people was correct, but recently, such private raids were not allowed. It has disappeared completely.

As the Dungeon Management Office only gives permission to attack to guilds, not being able to join a guild has become synonymous with not being able to go to a dungeon. However, not giving permission to attack to that guild is also a failure as a guild

. It’s like saying you’re not recognized.

In that case, in reality, this isn’t a guild or anything.

Seo Ji-han thought about something, frowned, and opened his mouth.

– There’s a high possibility that permission to attack dungeons won’t be issued in the future. After all, the Korean guild will run the dungeon management office. It seems like they’ve taken control.

Suddenly, I remembered what he had said on the plane a while ago about a feud between guilds.

I think I know the general situation.

There are a total of six dungeons in Korea.

And there are three guilds.

Coincidentally, there is only one guild. The current hunter industry was in a strange balance due to the number of dungeons matching two at a time.

Except for the first dungeon creation explosion, dungeons were actually not very dangerous to the general public.

Once that moment passed, the dungeon would create a huge amount of dungeon by-products. It becomes a resource mine.

Things that are impossible with the level of human science can be easily done with dungeon items. We have

become a world where how many dungeon items you have and how strong hunters you have are considered indicators of national defense power.

Such a reality . In , guilds that have a large number of hunters capable of conquering dungeons naturally gain power.

And when they take over the right to conquer dungeons with that power, hunters will flock to the guild even more to conquer dungeons.

Under the clever logic of efficiency . The power of the guild was growing stronger.

And that power was influencing the media and legal society as a whole. The reason

Baekgwang Guild was not given permission to attack dungeons was probably ultimately due to this effect.

“Actually, our guild leader came from the Daehan guild. I think it ended up like this because I was hated at the time. “There is a high possibility that permission to attack will not be granted, so it would be better for Moa to look elsewhere.”

The conductor spoke quietly as if he guessed my guess.

Assistant Manager Kim also agreed, nodding his head as if he was of the same opinion.

“The guild leader said that he knows someone at the dungeon management office, so permission to attack will be issued soon. It’s been several months since he’s been saying that. Moreover, even if permission is granted, there are no hunters capable of forming a proper attack team. Hunters who were somehow useful joined for a short time and then left to other guilds…”

Obviously, not being able to conquer dungeons is a fatal flaw for a guild.

But it wasn’t for me.

If I really wanted to go to a dungeon, I could sneak in. Rather,

that was all . There is a more important question:

“Are you two going to stay here?”

In response to my question, the two people smiled meaningfully.

“They pay a lot of money here. In return, there is no work unless the hunters come. There is no reason to quit, so I plan to keep going. I will also give you company housing.”

“Me too. It’s not a bad place to just walk around.”

I nodded.

“Then I’ll join here too. Anyway, I don’t have any intention of joining a big guild and working grandiosely. I’m just tired. The reason I tried to join the guild was to avoid the media.”

“Ah, then this place is perfect. “Our guild is strangely ignored by the media.”

It’s definitely a bit harsh.

There are quite a few things that could be the subject of gossip, such as the fact that it was founded by someone from the Korean guild, or that the guild leader is weak, but strangely enough, there is no mention of it.

It’s as if they want it to disband and disappear without anyone knowing.

If this is a guild that the media ignores so much, should I join this guild and enjoy the peace of indifference?

“Then sign the hunter contract here.”

I accepted the hunter contract that Assistant Manager Kim gave me.

And I was a little embarrassed.

Unlike the Sky Guild, which had three or four pages, the Baekgwang Guild’s contract was only one page.
