“….”
Head office CEO’s office.
Even though it hadn’t been long since I returned home, I felt dizzy when I saw the excessive articles that had already started pouring in.
Well, he’s the only one who can solve this kind of source.
Reporter Koo Sang-chan.
‘Anyway… if it’s about this side, why are you so anxious to stay still?’
At this point, you’re confused as to whether he’s a reporter or a Sasaeng fan.
“From what I heard, he was recently promoted to head of the subjugation department of the Social Affairs Department. “They say they’ve been active more in earnest since then, so you’ll probably have to read the same article for a few more days.”
Director Ha Seong-il, who was facing me at that time, said with a smile.
“Tsk, he’s already such a clueless guy, but now that he’s taken over, he’s going to go even crazier.”
“Well, wouldn’t it be good for us if there was someone who published a friendly article?”
“I’m saying this because it’s more than friendly, it’s almost at the level of desperation.”
“ha ha ha!”
Let’s take a moment to laugh out loud at what’s so funny.
Soon he asked:
“Anyway, I never imagined that he would go to take over the Hong Kong branch and bring the Chinese association with him. “What on earth did you do?”
“They dug their own graves.”
I answered harshly.
If they had actively supported the operation rather than blockading Hong Kong, they would have at least had the justification that they were trying to protect their country.
If that had been the case, international public opinion would not have deteriorated so much and they would have been able to create the third force they wanted.
Their attempt to cover up their mistakes actually ended up strangling them.
“Overseas business is my responsibility, and I am just grateful that the CEO steps forward like this. “Thanks to you, I’ve been able to play and eat most of the past few days.”
“Then how about taking just that much in salary this month?”
“ha ha ha! “Even jokes.”
…Isn’t this a joke?
“Anyway, it is said that with this acquisition, Korea has gained an upper hand not only in subjugation projects but also in diplomacy. Thanks to this, the government is quite satisfied with it.”
“If you blow your nose without touching it, shouldn’t you at least give us a gift?”
“They say it’s a gift, but they said they will actively support it in the future.”
“….”
It’s not cool at all.
If I’m going to give it to you, I’ll give it to you in money.
As he was openly upset, Director Ha Seong-il smiled and opened his mouth.
“Well, you’ve taken care of one big case after another, so take it easy for a while. “I heard that you are not feeling well.”
“I still think so.”
As he said that, he leaned back against the backrest.
The work on the American branch had not yet been completed, and the Chinese association had also been taken over, so there was a lot of work to be done… but thanks to the hard work of Lee Ah-young and General
Manager Ha Seong-il, we now have some leeway.
Well, wasn’t he put in the position of head of the division to work at times like this?
I took care of the scene, so you’ll have to take care of the rest.
‘Well then, maybe I should go on vacation for a few days…’
That’s the moment I thought.
I made eye contact with Director Ha Seong-il, who was still hesitating in front of me.
“…Do you still have anything left to say?”
When I asked him, he spoke in an uncharacteristically expressionless manner.
“Well… it’s nothing else, but this time, the board of directors is reorganizing the global hunter ranking system using our hunter management authority…” “
Ah, I heard. Has the person in charge of review been determined? “It would be quite a hassle, but it would be nice to have someone who would take responsibility for it.”
“I… am the CEO.”
“…?”
“…the representative has been appointed as the person in charge.”
“….”
“There is no one on the board of directors other than the CEO….”
“Ha haha….”
Fuck.
Are you kidding me?
“Obviously, Director Lee Ah-young said he would speak well…”
“I couldn’t even say anything.”
“Does that mean… Lee Ah-young also knows?”
“yes.”
There’s no
fucking help.
‘Could it be because you feel sorry for working so hard these days…?’
For some reason, I thought it was strange that he just worked quietly without showing any condescension…
‘Ha.’
In what year will the world’s hunter ranks be reviewed again? As an estimate, that number is in the tens of millions!
In addition, if you create screening items and consider performance and career evaluations…
When it’s over, the remaining three years will all disappear, right?
At a time when I was sighing in frustration and frustration, Director Ha Seong-il carefully opened his mouth again.
“Detailed information and schedule will be released as soon as they are decided by the board of directors. Until then, go on vacation somewhere….”
“Where can you rest properly? “This isn’t like giving a bottle or medicine…”
He laughed haha with a quite embarrassed expression.
It seemed like he had quite a bit of insight.
“Tsk, I understand. I can’t help it. First, we will notify associations around the world.”
He patted the back of his head and said harshly.

“Karma Corporation says they will soon revamp the hunter rank system.”
International Hunter Association Headquarters.
Secretary-General Wesley’s assistant delivered the report that had just arrived.
“Notices have already been sent to associations around the world…”
“Rank reorganization?”
“yes. “I think they are probably going to re-do everything from grading standards to screening.”
“I don’t understand. “Now I wonder what it means.”
“In the meantime, haven’t we only put the world’s rankings on our side’s hunters? “I think they are trying to keep it in check by dispersing it as much as possible.”
“Hmm…”
Secretary General Wesley rolled his pen.
It was because I didn’t understand why such a troublesome task was being done just for that reason.
There must be another reason.
‘No matter what it is, it won’t be good for us…’
As he was showing his discomfort, the secretary opened his mouth again.
“Anyway, I heard that Karma has officially taken over the Chinese association using the Hong Kong incident as an excuse. Is this okay?”
“There’s no way it’s going to be okay. “The Chinese Association was a very necessary place for us.”
He clicked his tongue and answered.
It’s not that the reason for contacting the Chinese association in the first place was to keep them in the international association.
The plan was to use their overwhelming military power to keep the Karma Corporation in check.
Or, to be more precise, the intention was to take them down.
They now have too much and know too much.
He had to admit that the international association would not be able to achieve what he wanted as long as they existed.
Therefore, war was also in mind, and for this purpose, the Chinese Association was an essential place to obtain.
‘I never thought he’d show his teeth at us…’
A thought crossed his mind for a moment that it was a mistake to try to set an example, but now it was too late to regret it.
Anyway, I couldn’t keep holding on to those guys who showed their teeth once, so I had them kicked out. Sure enough, Kim Jun-woo swallowed it up right away.
Lee Neung-seok and Ban Neung-seok with hunter management authority.
And it was very clear what would happen to those who had taken control of the Chinese association.
“It looks like they’re going to try to devour us in earnest.”
“….”
The secretary could not bear to respond to that heavy voice.
“If they hadn’t found Eden, it wouldn’t have gotten to this point…”
“I… I have something to tell you about that…”
After hesitating for a while, she carefully opened her mouth.
“It is said that no special supernatural faction has been detected since the American branch incident.”
“…What do you mean?”
“It is the opinion of the Bank Item Management Team that if Eden had been dealt with, a comparable supernatural power would have been detected.”
“So they haven’t dealt with Eden yet…?”
“More than that, we haven’t detected any psychics from the time of discovery until now…”
She continued speaking slowly, constantly observing the Secretary General.
“There is a possibility that what was discovered was a lie…”
“….”
I couldn’t finish the sentence, so I trailed off and looked around.
However, contrary to expectations, Secretary General Wesley did not show any particular reaction.
“Is that so…”
He looked quite calm, neither angry nor shocked.
“Well, I roughly expected it. “We just agreed to a negotiation for the sake of convenience, but the result would have been the same one way or another.”
“Is that so?”
“The important thing is… it’s clear now that we don’t have Eden anyway.”
Soon his eyes sparkled.
“So now let’s get ready to get ours back.”
***
It has been a month since the notice was issued to associations around the world.
Finally, it was the first day of evaluation for the ranking system reform.
Of course, it was realistically impossible to classify hunters from all over the world at the same time.
So, we decided to conduct screening in Korea first and use this as a stepping stone to gradually expand the scope overseas.
The first review target was decided to be the operations team at the Seoul headquarters.
“I’m already feeling dizzy.”
The operational seminar room at the Seoul headquarters that I visited after a long time.
A memory of the past joint operation briefing between the cleaning team and the operations team flashed through my mind, but that was only for a moment.
“This is just the beginning, so what should I do if this happens already?”
Before going up to the podium, Director Lee Ah-young checked my appearance.
He then straightened his tie and said.
“You know that if you button it up right the first time, there won’t be any problems later, right?”
“I know, but it’s easier said than done…”
“Then do your best.”
I was pushed up onto the podium.
At the same time, all operational teams at the Seoul headquarters are visible at a glance.
“Everyone is probably busy, so I’ll just get to the point.”
After taking a breath, he stood in front of the microphone and opened his mouth.
“As previously announced, the ranking evaluation will be conducted over the next week. As before, you can receive ranks from E to A, and S ranks and higher will be awarded through individual screening.”
There wasn’t much to say, as if everyone knew it.
“First, we will examine your ability to subdue and understand the scene through a written test. Skills, positions, and classes will be evaluated through the second practical examination. In addition, we will conduct a screening based on a comprehensive evaluation of performance and experience.”
The process itself is not much different from before.
But the really important thing started now.
“However, from this time on, one more item has been added to the screening criteria.”
An evaluation item that Director Lee Doo-sik encouraged.
It’s none other than that.
“It’s a personality assessment.”
“…personality?”
“You got it all when you joined the company.”
“What does that have to do with rank review?”
They each said a word to each other.
I cleared my throat to quiet them down and spoke again.
“Please note that those who do not pass the standards in the aptitude test will be disqualified regardless of other evaluation scores. “What I mean by disqualification here is…”
He said quite seriously while looking at the hunters.
“This means that my hunter status will be permanently revoked.”
“…what what?”
“Now wait a minute!”
“Disqualification! “Isn’t that too harsh?!”
As expected, the seminar room suddenly became noisy.
It may be a natural reaction, but it cannot be helped.
This reorganization of the ranking system has an important purpose other than keeping international associations in check.
This is to weed out all unqualified hunters.
This is the first step toward re-establishing the existing system that has so far been tailored only to the international association’s advantage.
“Well, you don’t have to worry too much. “A personality test is only an additional evaluation. It will be of little significance to those who have had no problems so far.”
I said that and quickly looked at the hunters’ reactions.
Most people reacted with relief to those words.
“….”
“….”
Some people couldn’t do that.
A few people looked quite anxious, as if to advertise that there was something openly troubling them.
I looked at them and smiled.
“Then, from now on, we will proceed with the ranking review.”
