“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
…!”
A cabin deep in the mountains.
Multiple groans of pain rang out from inside the building, which was so shattered that it was hard to tell it was a cabin.
“….”
I looked at the 10 hunters spread out on the floor.
At first, perhaps out of pride or just wanting to show off my skills, I attacked indiscriminately… but there was no way such an aggressive attack would work on me.
But what surprised me was what happened next.
After realizing that there was no hope in fighting individually, they divided their positions by class and began to attack together.
All 10 people are meeting for the first time today. We’ve never gone on a subjugation together, and we don’t know what skills we each have.
In a situation where there was no prior information and no summation, they were able to understand each other’s strengths in that short period of time and performed their roles perfectly.
‘Even if it’s rotten, it’s still worth it…’
Perhaps because they are former hunters from the operation team, they definitely have a good feel for combat.
Above all, he has no hesitation in using his strength.
Well, it’s only natural since they are criminals who have already crossed the line once.
Each individual’s combat power is at best C-level, but that’s not really that important.
Because what I’m trying to create is not an operations team.
‘If you raise it well, it will be useful.’
Of course, it can’t end like this.
This is education after all.
I need to clearly engrave the hierarchy so that they don’t even think about showing their teeth at me.
“Is this the answer?”
So I intentionally made a provocation.
“Honestly, it falls far short of what I expected. “Did you just brag about killing me like this?”
“Tsk…!”
“What the hell? That bastard…”
“There was a guy like that in the association…?”
Their expressions were a mixture of complex emotions: embarrassment, anger, and anger.
“It’s disgusting to think that they committed a crime with so little power, drunk with a sense of superiority, as if they had achieved something.”
He openly criticized me for being pathetic.
“In the end, they can’t even shout in front of people who are stronger than them.”
“…!”
“This bastard…!”
Sure enough, the response came immediately.
Those who stand up again and take up a fighting stance.
I smiled.
[Unique Skill: Demon King – Dictator]
Black air currents began to burst out.
[Creating a one-time skill according to the caster’s thoughts.]
[Creating the skill.]
[Creating the skill has been completed.]
[Panic Room]
The flowing black air current engulfed them and created a small space.
For a moment they were taken aback by the unfamiliar space.
[Unique skill: Ghost Sword – Night Journey]
[Unique skill: High Enchantment]
[Unique skill: Master of Voodoo]
Skills poured out on me.
[Unique skill: Demon King – Awakening]
[Awakening skill has been activated]
[As of the current time, the caster transcends the existing class.]
[Awakening class: Absolute Monarch]
In response, he waved his hand blade in the air.
wickedness-!
“…!”
“…!!”
Their necks were separated from their bodies.
[Panic Room – Effect ends]
[All events return to before Panic Room.]
“Gagging…!!”
“Huh, huh, huh….”
“CALL, COLOK!!”
Immediately afterwards, the black air current that surrounded them disappeared.
When they came to their senses again, they grabbed their necks and started to vomit. Some people shed tears, while others had wet trouser legs.
Perhaps because they had experienced death indirectly, everyone was completely lost and shaking their bodies.
‘I guess this is enough.’
Since you have faced death, the fear must have been engraved deep in your bones.
“What are you doing? “Don’t keep attacking me.”
“…You made a mistake….”
“You made a mistake…!”
“I will follow you unconditionally!”
Perhaps the effect was as good as expected, and everyone lost their will to fight and lowered their posture.
I smiled in satisfaction at that sight.
But even for a moment.
“Anyway…”
He shifted his gaze towards the man sitting far away with an indifferent expression from earlier.
Unlike other hunters, he seemed to have no interest in organizing the ranks and did not participate in the battle and just watched what was going on.
“You’re not fighting?”
“I’m done.”
He waved his hand as if he had become Hong Du-sik.
“Why do you lose strength even before work starts? Just by looking at it, it looks like you’re stronger than me, so I’ll just skip it.”
“You are wiser than you look.”
“Don’t wrap it. “It’s just because I’m scared.”
He burst out laughing.
Well, that’s what I said.
You can tell just by looking at it.
That man is much stronger than the 10 people here.
‘He was also the head of the operations team…’
It makes no sense for someone like that to be scared.
I’m just not interested.
‘I wanted to take this opportunity to see your skills.’
It’s too bad.
However, you can’t force someone who doesn’t want to fight to fight.
“Well, I’ll end my first training with this.”
It seemed like the order of things had been sorted out to some extent, so I moved on to the next order.
“The next course is practical training.”
“…yes yes?”
“If it’s practice…”
The hunters looked puzzled.
“You will be dispatched to dungeons and street cleaners for the next month.”
“…?”
“…cleaning?”
“Well, in my experience, cleaning is the quickest and most effective way to regenerate something.”
The corners of my mouth went up without me knowing as the memories of a year suddenly came to mind.
“Once all the training courses are over, you will be reborn as a new person.”
Having tried it once, I can assure you.

“No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think this is right.”
The President’s Office at the Blue House.
Minister of Justice Oh Myung-jin, who met with President Cho Hyun-min, carefully expressed his opinion.
Isn’t it clearly illegal to create a hunter organization made up of criminals?
It seemed completely incomprehensible that even Kim Jun-woo gave permission for this when Rep. Jeong Hoon had already been arrested on the same charge.
“It has already been decided.”
However, President Cho Hyun-min’s attitude was firm.
“You’re giving me permission like that without consulting me! “What are you going to do if it becomes known to the media?”
“Don’t worry about that.”
“No matter how well they hide it, they are ultimately criminals. How on earth can you trust people like that? “It’s sure to work out one way or another!”
“Wouldn’t CEO Kim do his best to prevent that from happening?”
“…ha.”
Minister Oh Myung-jin eventually let out a small sigh in response to the single-minded president’s answer.
“Why on earth would he say something like this? “Yes, that’s all…”
He looked for a moment, then lowered his voice and continued.
“Aren’t you a former cleaner?…”
“….”
At those words, President Cho’s eyes sharpened for a moment, but it didn’t last long.
President Cho opened his mouth in a calm voice.
“Of course, it is true that I trust CEO Kim, but it is not just for that reason.”
“yes…?”
“I don’t know if you know, but Karma Corporation is currently at war with Lions Clubs International. “Even though we can’t see it, they are fighting to eat each other and be eaten.”
President Cho Hyun-min looked more serious than ever.
“The only way to gain an edge over international organizations is to be recognized by other countries and people. “It is an easy and simple goal, but at the same time it is a very difficult task.”
“Isn’t that why the ranking system reform was implemented? In order to weed out those who do not meet the qualifications to become hunters…”
“That is the problem.”
Minister Oh Myung-jin’s eyebrows twitched at President Cho’s answer.
“Currently, Korea’s ranking evaluation has been completed and evaluation is underway for each country’s associations, but there are too many people dropping out than expected.”
“What is that…?”
“As much as 10% of the workforce per association is being lost. “This is a figure that cannot be understood through common sense.”
“….”
“The lack of hunter manpower will have a direct impact on subjugation, which naturally poses a threat to national security. Perhaps because of this, associations from various countries are currently requesting support from our country.”
Minister Oh Myung-jin’s expression gradually hardened.
He also knew that this was not a natural situation.
Clearly something is happening.
That’s also a very unusual thing.
“The problem with the International Association is not simply a turf war between businesses.”
At that time, President Cho Hyun-min opened his mouth again.
“This issue is directly related to the lives of citizens not only in our country but around the world. The problem is that at this point, we don’t know what the International Association will do.”
“That’s true, but…”
“One thing I know for sure is…”
He continued, pointing to the floor with his finger.
“No matter what Lions Clubs International does, it starts right here! “It’s the Republic of Korea.”
“….”
Minister Oh Myung-jin bowed his head instead of answering.
This was because there was not a single point where an objection could be raised.
“If you can stop that, what can’t you do?”
“But if there’s a problem then…”
“That won’t happen. “Well, if that happens…”
Soon, President Cho Hyun-min smiled.
“I will take full responsibility.”
***
Minister Oh Myung-jin, who left the office, had a very complex expression.
Of course, what the President said was not wrong.
No, this is one hundred percent correct.
Since the International Association took over the power to subdue the entire world, everything has been going unusually.
If they arbitrarily wield the right to subjugate the world, the entire world will become a sea of fire.
To exaggerate a bit, they have the power to destroy humanity.
Of course, if I could prevent it, I would do anything… but
‘that’s not my role…’
I am only the Minister of Justice of one country.
You can leave saving the world to others, but isn’t it your role to stop illegal hunter organizations?
In the first place, I cannot agree with the idea that criminals can stop the International Association’s scheme.
No matter how well educated you are, in the end, criminals are still criminals.
They are heinous scum who committed crimes based on their abilities due to a sense of superiority in power.
Of course, Representative Kim Jun-woo said that he is not a person who would take them out and do bad things like Rep. Jeong Hoon, and that he would educate them thoroughly in his own way… but there is
no way that they will be rehabilitated by educating 10 trash people.
In the first place, it is impossible for CEO Kim Jun-woo to completely control them alone.
It’s obvious that I’ll have an accident someday.
‘I can’t do it…’
I have to go and see the situation myself.
If they see it for themselves and feel that it cannot be controlled, they will ensure that the project is scrapped, even if it means going against the instructions from superiors.
Because that’s your role.
Minister Oh Myung-jin made that promise and got into the waiting vehicle.
Eventually, I left the Blue House and entered the city center, and soon I couldn’t help but tilt my head.
“uh…?”
I saw familiar faces on the streets.
They were none other than the 10 criminals, or scum, chosen by CEO Kim Jun-woo.
“I…! Did they just let those guys roam the streets like that?! “Without a manager?!”
What is this if you don’t go crazy?
It won’t work.
This crossed the line.
We need to send them back to the quarantine facility right away…!
“Hey uncle!”
At that time, one of the hunters raised his voice towards an ordinary person passing by.
‘That guy…’
Isn’t he the guy who was arrested on charges of assaulting ordinary people while drunk?
Damn it happened.
First, quickly call the police….
“What if you just throw that trash on the floor and leave?”
“…yes yes?”
“Pick it up and pick it up. And there’s a trash can in front of you, so throw it away.”
“Oh yes…I’m sorry.”
“A very knowledgeable man…”
Minister Oh Myeong-jin couldn’t believe his own eyes and ears when he heard that conversation.
And belatedly, I started looking at the situation in detail again.
Broom and trash bag.
And the fluorescent vests worn by the group.
The word ‘Service’ written on his back and chest.
Could it be that they are now…
‘Are they cleaning the house…?’
Minister Oh Myung-jin could not keep his mouth shut at the shocking sight.
