I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 53

Episode 053

Well, it’s a common occurrence.

It’s the basics of Gap to bend the schedule as he pleases.

No matter what impossible schedule is presented, the one who is disappointed is bound to meet it.

“It’s still good. “I was wondering what would happen if I never got permission to attack the dungeon.”

After hearing the reason, my doubts about the guild eased a bit.

Seo Ji-han also nodded in understanding.

But the assistant manager was skeptical about my words.

“I don’t know if it worked out well, but…”

“Why?”

“Hmm.”

The assistant manager, who thought for a moment, began carefully while observing the assistant manager’s thoughts.

“Don’t tell this anywhere. Don’t tell it to the team members you’ll meet in the future. This is a conversation between us.”

“yes.”

“There is no one in the guild.”

“yes?”

The assistant manager suddenly looked at me with a worried face. He

glanced at the assistant manager again, saw the assistant manager nod his head, and continued.

“Hunter. There are no hunters in the guild.”

“Well, what is the team member you said you would introduce today?”

“That’s it, huh. Listen carefully, Mr. Moa. Most people who thought they had some ability left for the 2nd and 3rd guilds of the 3 major guilds.”

“yes.”

“Thanks to this, the only hunters left in the guild now are of extremely low standard. They are low-level people who cannot even join the third group of other guilds. “They have an eccentric personality and are difficult to get along with.”

“hmm.”

I understand what the assistant manager wants to say.

She added with a worried face to my ambiguous response.

“Moa will have a hard time working together as a team.”

“Well, there are bound to be strange people everywhere.”

The so-called crazy law of conservation of mass. This

is a law commonly used among office workers, and it states that no matter what company or organization you work in, there will always be a certain percentage of strange people. There are

quite a few hardships that I endured when I quit my job while thinking about that law.

“That’s it .” That’s right, but since it’s like this anyway, would you mind telling me a little about the team members you’ll meet in the future? Since we have some time left.”

“It’s so good.”

The two people nodded and each told us as much information as they knew.

Then, it was finally time to meet the guild leader.

“I have to go now.”

The assistant manager muttered with a slightly dark look on his face.

Then he stared at me as if he were looking at a baby deer walking alone to a watering hole where lions drink.

“Be careful, Mr. Moa. If something feels strange, I won’t do it right away. As I said before, that’s it.” People really…”

“Hey, I’m also an awakened person. “You know I’m strong.”

“That’s true, but…”

Considering the personalities of the team members I just heard about, the assistant manager’s concerns are not unreasonable.

But I was just calm.

If the world of hunters follows the logic of power, it’s not like it’s an unfavorable world for me either. .

“Is there anything special?”

I answered calmly on purpose to reassure him, but the assistant manager looked even more worried.

“Then let’s go. I’ll take you to the place we agreed to meet.”

I nodded and gratefully accepted the directions.

The place where we decided to meet up with them was another conference room on the same floor.

Leaving behind the two people who were giving us worried looks until the end, I went inside and saw four people sitting at a distance from each other.

I guessed the people’s identities based on the information I heard a little while ago.

“Are you putting your hands together? They’re very skinny.”

This skinny, long man who approaches me with a shaky gait and looks down at me is probably Baek Dae-man, in charge of close-range attacks.

I heard he is related to the guild leader, so perhaps that’s why he has a very confident attitude.

And that woman sitting far away, watching how I perform, is the second close-range attack. It must have been Ban Seo-jin, the person in charge of attack.

Ban Seo-jin had an extreme two-block cut reminiscent of a chicken’s crest. The

crest was dyed colorfully, giving the impression of a dyed chick sold in front of the school. He looked like

a rock star.

In any case, he had a strong appearance.

The assistant manager explained that Ban Seo-jin thinks nothing of Baek Dae-man and that he is a temperamental person who gets into fights here and there when he messes up. He said it wouldn’t be a problem as long as I don’t start a fight first, so it

should be fine.

Other than that, he is sitting quietly on one side and I see a man.

Maybe. The smaller one seems to be Noh Hee-mang, an alcoholic assistant hunter, and the tall man next to him who is ignoring the whole situation seems to be tanker Noh Mi-rae. As soon as he saw them, Seo Ji-han clicked his tongue. – This is really a

mess

.

I I agreed as I looked at Noh Hee-mang’s hand, which was trembling due to withdrawal symptoms. He

noticed my gaze and quickly hid his hand and glared at me.

But when I glared at him in the same way, he turned his head away, pretending not to notice.

Hmm, I think I can get a general idea of the atmosphere. What should I do now?

Especially Baek Dae-man, who is in front of me.

Should I accept the greeting obediently or fight him?

Seo Ji-han, as if he had heard my inner question, sneaked in.

He placed his transparent hand on Baek Dae-man’s cheek. He fiddled with it and recommended a behavior to me.

– Even if it’s small, I hit him while saying I can reach his face! In this case, whoever hits first wins. Are you

crazy?

That’s a complete fight.

Seo Ji-han’s ridiculousness. My face almost fell at the sound.

I tried hard to control

my facial expression. Despite my disapproving reaction, Seo Ji-han looked very excited.

– If I hit him and say something, he responds by saying, ‘I introduced you to my fist?’ How are you?

How is this guy?

It was indeed advice worthy of a ranker who made his living through blackmail and intimidation, but I decided to ignore his guide to suppressing the momentum.

I can’t believe you started punching your coworkers on your first day at work.

This seems like an unconventional behavior that not even a decent gangster would do.

“This is Son Mo-ah. Please take care of me.”

As I politely greeted him, Seo Ji-han licked his lips.

– Just hit him.

Seeing his regret until the end, I suddenly became a bit confused.

I thought half of it was a joke, but was it serious?

Actually, Seo Ji-han is not the type of person who jokes around a lot.

And I’m not someone who gives advice that might get me in trouble just for fun.

Maybe hitting each other with a punch is a common greeting in the hunter industry?

Oh no. That can’t be possible.

“So, you said you came in as a long-distance attacker? I heard the story from my uncle. Just trust me. “If you don’t know something, ask.”

Baek Dae-man, who flinched slightly at my polite greeting, soon adjusted his expression to pretend that nothing had happened.

what? Why this reaction?

It got more confusing.

Was it right to hit him once?

“Oh, thank you.”

I said thank you with mixed feelings.

While we were just talking like that, the door behind us clicked open.

“Oh my gosh, I’m the last one.”

Baek Gwang-hyeon was the guild leader.

As he was about to enter the room, he stopped and looked around the room.

“Everyone is on time. “Have you eaten?”

“Approximately.”

Baek Dae-man was the only one who answered the question.

Everyone was subtly avoiding their eyes, as if the guild leader felt awkward.

Same goes for me.

I guess I feel like a boss.

“Sit down first. “Taiwan can sit down and Son Moa Hunter can sit down too.”

The guild leader, who offered to take a seat, also found a seat at the head of the table and sat down.

After waiting for everyone to sit down for a moment, he clasped his hands together and got to the point seriously.

“As you all heard in advance, we will be attacking the dungeon tomorrow. It’s a bit of a surprise, but due to circumstances, things turned out a bit hastily. First of all, we have formed a team of the best hunters who are judged to be able to participate. Did everyone say hello?”

Although we are not introduced, we know roughly who is who.

It was unclear to answer, so I stayed still and Baek Gwang-hyeon nodded as if he understood.

“Well, I think I know the general idea, so I’ll just proceed. There will be a lot of time to get to know each other anyway. “I’m more urgent to prepare to enter the dungeon, so I’ll talk about that first.”

The guild leader was the only one who spoke anyway.

This atmosphere feels somewhat familiar.

I felt like this when I was having a meeting at the company I used to work for.

“As this is a hastily decided matter, the guild has prepared camping supplies such as water, food, sleeping bags, and tents in advance. Please prepare your personal items and clothing tonight. “The permitted dungeon stay period is one month, so you should prepare for one month.”

Well, there’s no way you can wash and dry clothes in the dungeon, so just the clothes you’ll wear for a month will be very bulky.

If you take food and water with you, most of the space in your inventory will be filled with daily necessities rather than dungeon items.

“And Hunter Baek Dae-man here will be leading this strategy. I have participated in many dungeon raids since I was in the Daehan Guild, so please trust me and rely on me. “Here, Taiwan, get an escape seat.”

The escape stone, the most important item in a dungeon raid, is traditionally owned by the leader of the raid team.

Then, naturally, it becomes difficult for team members to defy the leader.

Sometimes, there are rich hunters who have personal escape seats, but most of them survive on escape seats provided by the guild, so if you fall out with the leader, in the worst case scenario, you may be left alone in the dungeon without an escape seat.

A meaningful look was exchanged for a moment between Baek Dae-man and the guild leader, who had received the escape stone.

It seemed like it was probably an encouragement to hope that you would do well in conquering the dungeon.

“The dungeon we will go to tomorrow is a Chungwang type dungeon. I know that Moa Hunter has been swept into a Chungwang type dungeon once before.”

I nodded.

The dungeon I was swept into disappeared after the death of King Kergis, but other King King-type dungeons originally existed in Korea.

The Chungwangryu dungeon was also the most common among dungeons.

“Even if it’s a Chungwang-type dungeon, not all dungeons are the same, so don’t let your guard down. “This dungeon is said to mainly feature poison-attribute monsters, so it would be a good idea for hunters who can afford it to pack antidote-type items.”

After saying that, the guild leader handed them each a piece of paper they had brought with them.

I immediately received it and turned it over to see that it was a guidebook with a general description of monsters and dungeon characteristics.

I thought it would be quite helpful since it even included a picture.

“Departure is tomorrow at 4pm. Please come to the Dungeon Management Office as soon as you are ready. This is the end of the message. “Do you have any questions?”
