The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 20

Area 10 where off-duty personnel are waiting.

Even though the leader changed, the hunters only watched each other and no one made a move. They have dumbfounded faces, unable to figure out how the situation is going.

A sigh escaped me from the beginning.

Kim Min-ju, that guy… he managed to come all the way here with these idiots.

He is truly a great guy.

“This is absurd. Hey you.”

At that time, Team Leader Lim Dong-bin opened his mouth as if he was shocked.

“You seem to be misunderstanding something, but I am the team leader here. Well, did you think that just because you took over the leader position, you would become a captain? A young guy with no operational experience….”

“I probably have twice as much experience as you.”

“…what?”

“And you think I don’t know? In some dungeon, you are given a rank. “What does being the team leader have to do with this?”

I opened my eyes straight and glared at Team Leader Lim Dong-bin.

Then embarrassment appeared on his face.

This is a dungeon, even a dungeon in operation.

During an operation, the ‘leader’, the highest decision-maker on site, decides and controls everything.

The leader handed over command to me.

Lim Dong-bin knew best that it was not something that could be rubbed off with the team leader label.

“You…were you a hunter?”

“Hmm, why does everyone who meets me ask me if I’m a hunter? “Is it that important?”

“It’s important! A janitor who is not a hunter is going to take command of the scene? Are you planning to kill us all? “This shouldn’t end at the level of disciplinary action!”

“So what you’re saying is that a veteran hunter like you should take the lead, rather than an inexperienced brat like me?”

“It’s not all natural! If you understand, hand the command back to me. “If you let it pass now, I’ll treat the cleaning team’s disciplinary action as never happened.”

Really…

How can they come up with such unappetizing conditions?

He scratched his head with a embarrassed expression.

“Well, it’s none of my business whether the cleaning team gets disciplined or not… When I look at you now, I keep thinking back to the old days and I feel really shit.”

I took a step closer to team leader Lim Dong-bin.

“It was good, right? “I’ve been getting a lot of results every day.”

“What does that mean…”

“You are out of the operation as of now. “Do nothing here and don’t take anything with you.”

“…!”

Outside of operation.

The highest level of punishment during the operation, which deprives not only the right to participate in the subjugation, but also all allowances and performance through this subjugation.

“Close your mouth, bastard. Bugs are going in. “Is this your first time being disciplined?”

The look on his face was completely mesmerizing.

Well, the team leader probably never imagined that he would receive such disciplinary action during his own operation.

I took the walkie-talkie he had.

“Ah, this is Kim Jun-woo, a cleaner from cleaning team 3. I will notify all members of the subjugation team. As of now, Team Leader Lim Dong-bin is out of operation. Therefore, let’s do our best with the remaining members.”

The radio was noisy.

“And as you heard, Hunter Kim Min-ju has handed over command to me, so please follow my instructions from now on.”

“….”

“answer!”

“…Yes, yes.”

“Ah, I understand.”

The voice was quite shaky, but it didn’t really matter.

I turned towards the waiting hunters.

“Well then… the BC team that is currently playing should go help the cleaning team.”

“….”

“Um… okay. “The BC team is all excluded from this operation due to failure to follow instructions.”

District 10 suddenly became noisy.

I lightly ignored it and put the radio to my mouth again.

“Team A~ Team A. “Please respond.”

“yes yes! “Team A received it!”

“Change Hunter Kim Min-ju.”

A moment of silence.

“Yes, teacher!”

I responded in a strong voice.

“Now that we are missing a lot of people, we have no choice but to make you suffer a little more. “Are you currently subjugating District 11?”

“that’s right. But this monster…”

“If that bear cub is attacked, it is immune to attack for 10 minutes. Place it in front of the ‘Guardian’ class. The ‘Healer’ class focuses on guardians with a single buff rather than wide-area buff skills.”

I waited a moment and spoke again.

“When the immunity period ends, they will rush to the guy in front. If the guy with the highest strength stat takes one step forward and lunges at you, you’ll just get hit. Because it doesn’t hurt that much. Then you put the counter right away. “You… developed your left hand grip, right?”

“Of course.”

“Okay. Just give it a try.”

There was no answer.

Instead, the voices of the combatants intermittently came through the radio.

About 30 minutes passed like that.

“Area 11 cleared!”

A voice mixed with heavy breathing was heard.

“okay. Area 12 is a ghost type monster. Since physical attacks are transparent, the swordsman class is left behind. “For the wizard class, don’t link up with stupid skills and just use the strongest one.”

“Yes!”

Area 12 was cleared in 50 minutes.

“next! Since they are hallucinogenic monsters, deploy them with high stamina stats. The healer class uses all purification skills! “You don’t have to forcefully close the distance, so you just have to be good at hitting and running.”

“leader! “Can the hallucination be cured with a potion?”

“Uh. “It can be solved with the highest quality potion.”

“…What if there isn’t one?”

“Then hit him on the head and knock him out.”

Exactly 40 minutes.

Clear area 13.

“The last one is the most uneventful. Just hit it with force. “If you push your skills quickly, you can catch enough.”

“Yes!!”

“I understand!”

The loud answers.

Since I didn’t need to use the radio anymore, I yawned and stretched.

Then he looked around again with a more relaxed expression.

The eyes of Team BC hunters, including team leader Lim Dong-bin, were all focused on me.

With the same expression as my teammates who looked at me during my active duty days.

‘Well, anyway, this is the end…’

「It’s impossible!」

At that moment, incomprehensible words came over the radio.

“what? “What on earth is impossible?”

“teacher! Everyone is so exhausted that their skill firepower is not working properly!”

“Your health status has dropped too much! As it is…”

“Haa…”

I sighed deeply and scratched my head.

By the way, those so-called hunters couldn’t catch even one of them….

“Everyone is back and waiting.”

“…Yes?”

I headed to the last area.

As soon as we arrived at Area 14, the attention of Team A hunters was focused at the same time.

Of course, it was the same for Kim Min-ju.

“Teacher Seo…”

An anxious voice.

He held out his hand towards her, whose entire body was covered in wounds.

“knife.”

“…yes?”

“Ask me to lend you a sword.”

Kim Min-ju handed me the sword with a puzzled expression and I walked closer to the monster.

Of course, I didn’t forget to activate the skills I had recently unlocked.

“Overindulgence.”

[Acquired skill: Immersion]

[Skill activation]

[The effect of all skills used by the caster during battle increases significantly]

“Inflammation.”

[Acquired skill: Flame]

[Skill activation]

Soon, black flames rose from Kim Min-ju’s sword.

Crrrrrrr

The monster also showed its huge teeth as if it felt threatened. It raised its front paws, which were as big as my body, and started running toward me at incredible speed.

‘It’s scary…’

If I get hit even once by that front paw, the cleaning team will have to vacuum pack my head.

Well, of course…

that won’t happen.

Kwaang-!!

[Detection of attacks against the caster]

[Enter combat stance as of the current time]

[Acquired skill: Hyper Boost]

[Activate skill]

[The movement speed of the caster increases significantly during battle]

Immediately after leisurely avoiding the attack, the monster is ready to attack again This was before I even had it.

I grabbed my sword and dived into the monster’s arms.

Puuk―

[Acquired skill: One counter]

[Damage increased by 3000% when attacking a weak point]

[Damage increased by an additional 3000% due to the effect of over-immersion skill] As the

sword was inserted precisely into the heart, the heavy body stumbled for a moment.

It fell headlong to the floor with a loud thud.

“….”

“….”

Silence pouring in at the same time.

I rubbed my eyes and opened my mouth.

“Let’s go out. “The dust makes my eyes itchy.”

So I turned my back and left there first.

***

The subjugation of all areas has been completed.

However, Team A’s hunters were still frozen in Area 14.

“What is it…?”

“What on earth… now?”

Everyone looked like they couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

Kim Min-ju also seemed to be quite shocked.

But even for a moment.

‘I wonder how much more you want to surprise me…’

He then smiled.

However, except for Kim Min-ju, no one could understand what had just happened.

“What kind of nonsense is this…”

“Ho, is it him by any chance? Hunter Kim Min-ju takes lessons from me….”

“What on earth is that person?!”

“What can I do?”

In response to the hunters’ fuss, Kim Min-ju spoke in a calm voice.

“Cleaning site.”

“….”

“….”

Now it’s my turn.

Minju Kim thought so and opened her mouth once again.

“I want everyone to keep what just happened here a secret.”

“…yes?!”

“Why why? “Rather than keeping it a secret, shouldn’t we scout it out right away?!”

“We have to inform the association! There’s someone like that in the cleaning department! “You don’t belong on the cleaning team!”

Kim Min-ju shook his head.

“That’s not what’s important to him.”

“What do you mean…?”

“Money, fame and power. As a hunter, skill stat weapons… he’s not interested in such things. “He’s just a person who wants to work with his colleagues wherever he wants.”

“….”

“So, you guys, just know that there are people like that. Never tell anyone else. Please.”

“…All right.”

The hunters of Team A answered simultaneously.

Shock.

Awe.

And their eyes showed a strong determination.

***

Office of the Director of the Association’s Seoul Headquarters.

“Did you turn?”

Director Seo Min-cheol was on the verge of exploding.

“it’s crazy? Are you crazy? “A bastard who is supposed to be the team leader gets neglected in such an important operation?!”

“…sorry.”

Team leader Lim Dong-bin’s voice rang out.

The reporters who went to great lengths to bring in people to spread the news about the cleaning team’s mistakes actually became toxic.

Immediately after the dungeon was conquered, the news of Team Leader Lim Dong-bin’s deviance from the operation quickly spread among reporters and heated up the Internet.

Of course, no one knew the detailed story.

However, it was clear that the fact that the head of the operation team was disciplined for his own operation was a truly shocking incident.

“Anyway, Hunter Kim Min-ju and that cleaning lady are in a relationship…”

“Who is this bastard kicking his teeth at?” “I don’t think anyone will know that I screwed up the cleaning team and ruined Kim Min-ju’s performance by screwing him up!”

Lim Dong-bin’s lips were trembling.

How does the general manager know that?

There was no way for him to know that the members of Team A had told everything to the general manager.

“So, you know who he is and you touch him! Is your helper God? “I don’t even know the topic!”

“…Now you’re going to blame everything on me?”

It was certainly true that he had done something wrong, but it was unfair for Team Leader Lim Dong-bin to push him around like this.

“what? “What did you just say?”

“When I said I would press the cleaning team, it was the general manager who wrote down the list of people to attend…”

“Hey!”

Director Seo Min-cheol had a murderous look in his eyes.

“Do you think I’m your friend? “You see Su-yong as a senior, so you don’t see anything, right?”

“….”

Team leader Lim Dong-bin immediately lowered his tail.

“Ha… I can’t just ignore this since it’s already spread on the internet. “I’m going to think about how to dispose of it, so I’m going back and writing the account first.”

“….”

“What are you doing. Doesn’t it turn off?”

At the command of Director Seo Min-cheol, Team Leader Lim Dong-bin left the office with his head down.

However, Seo Min-cheol’s anger showed no signs of abating.

If nothing else, it was true that, as Lim Dong-bin said, he was also involved in this incident.

“What should I do? “If Senior Lim tells the cleaning lady that he helped the general manager too…”

“Fuck…”

Team leader Soo-yong Lee asked in a worried voice.

Of course, he wasn’t worried about the head of the headquarters, he was just worried about his own line.

‘I should have recognized that bastard from the moment he started showing off his confidence…’

Director Seo Min-cheol pulled out his hair.

If I got caught wrong, this time I was in trouble. So I had to somehow break the link with Lim Dong-bin before that happened.

“Hey, Su Yong.”

“…yes.”

“You mean Hunter Kim Min-ju….”

Director Seo Min-cheol hesitated to say anything.

But after much deliberation, I finally opened my mouth with difficulty.

“How about making me a team leader?”
