The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 323

323. Side Story – Episode 1

“Hey Kim Jun-woo!!”

Korea Ability Dimension Management Association Seoul Headquarters.

Among them, Operation Team 1 is called the elite team.

A man’s voice rang out in the team office.

“…yes.”

I sighed inwardly and turned around.

For some reason, he was waving a piece of paper with a horny expression on his face.

“Did you write this yellow level subjugation plan?”

“…Yes, that’s right.”

“Are you out of your mind? “It’s a yellow level, but you’re going to organize it with only 10 people?!”

“….”

“Besides, the expected subjugation time is 3 hours? “Where are you going to have fun?”

A man who gets angry in a manner that lacks any trace of courtesy.

Team leader Soo-yong Lee.

He is currently the head of Operation Team 1 at the Seoul Headquarters and took over the position as team leader by parachute without any skills.

An incompetent bastard who only cares about performance.

As soon as I made eye contact with him, those thoughts came to mind and I lost the time to respond.

“Huh, what are your eyes? “Are you going to hit me like a fucking punch?”

Team leader Lee Soo-yong struck first.

I immediately averted my gaze and answered.

“…no.”

“Or just explain how 10 people are going to defeat the yellow class in 3 hours!”

“….”

I let out a small breath.

‘Pathetic bastard…’

I swallowed those words and opened my mouth in a calm voice.

“The appearance dungeon in Seoul this week has increased by about 15% compared to last week. “80% of them are green and blue, and we decided that we would not be able to defeat them all by the end of the week according to the existing organization.”

“….”

Soon, Team Leader Lee Soo-yong’s eyebrows twitched.

But even for a moment.

“so? “What does that have to do with reducing the number of yellow grades?”

“We were planning to reduce the number of people to subdue high-level dungeons as much as possible and assign that number to green-level or lower dungeons.”

“what…? “

“Currently, CD rank hunters are mostly responsible for conquering dungeons below green level. However, with the existing organization and current personnel, it is almost impossible to defeat them alone. “Support from high-ranked hunters is absolutely necessary.”

Team leader Soo-yong Lee was silent for a moment.

And then.

“Then what about the yellow level? “What if there’s a problem there?”

“That can’t be possible.”

“what…?”

“I’m there, right? 10 people are enough. Above all, I said that those three hours also include lunch time.”

“ha ha ha…!”

Team leader Soo-yong Lee bursts into laughter.

He had that exact expression on his face as if he had seen this crazy guy.

Take a moment to look me up and down like that.

“Hey Junwoo. “Come here for a moment.”

Suddenly, he put his hand on my shoulder and dragged me out of the office, pretending to be friendly.

A hallway with no one in it.

Team leader Soo-yong Lee looked around once more and opened his mouth in a low voice.

“You know. Anyway, green grade or lower is not that important. “It’s not included in performance and it doesn’t make any money.”

“….”

“But if you try to help them and end up getting a higher grade… you won’t be able to become a team leader?”

“….”

I had a hard time holding back the corners of my mouth from rising.

Team leader Lee Soo-yong must have thought that it worked, and continued speaking excitedly.

“You guys, don’t you know that I’m pushing the general manager a lot? “If you just listen to me, you can really become team leader next year.”

“manager.”

But I opened my mouth in a calm voice.

“If you only invest in high-tier dungeons because of your mediocre performance, and you end up buying a lower-tier dungeon…”

I continued, looking at him intently.

“Team leader, you will need to take off your clothes.”

“…!”

At those words, Team Leader Lee Soo-yong’s eyebrows narrowed significantly.

From the looks of it, it seemed like the dagger was planted properly.

“And honestly… if an accident happens, will it be me or the guys under me?”

As I said that, I gently removed Team Leader Lee Soo-yong’s hand that was on my shoulder.

And then we try to go back to the office.

“Ah, this guy said he was good and I asked him if he was coming…” “

…”

A voice came from behind me.

“Hey, don’t you see anything that’s A-rank? Did you swap the top and bottom? “How on earth would you say something like that to the team leader…!”

“manager.”

I slowly turned my head.

“We haven’t even fully recovered from the damage yet. The personnel and equipment were cut in half. “With just one Regen Dungeon that disappeared six months ago…!”

And that moment.

Sigh!

Team leader Lee Soo-yong grabbed my collar and pushed me against the wall.

“I told you not to fucking talk about it then.”

“….”

An expression filled with anger.

But his eyes seemed to be a mixture of shame and fear.

‘I know you’re embarrassed….’

Well, it should be embarrassing.

What if the elite team leader was so scared that he even gave up on command?

“If you say that one more time… I will send you to the Ulleungdo branch. Do you understand?”

“…All right.”

When I lowered my gaze and answered calmly, he let go of his collar.

“Go in and fuck it. “I’ll come back after smoking a cigarette.”

“….”

Team leader Lee Soo-yong said that and crossed the hallway.

I looked at his back for a moment, then straightened up and entered the office.

At the same time, I felt a few glances of glances at me.

“What you looking at? “Did you see it?”

“….”

“….”

With that one word, all eyes returned to their respective desks.

I also sighed and returned to my seat.

“Oh right.”

As something suddenly occurred to me, I looked at my teammate in front of me and opened my mouth.

“You too will participate in this yellow level subjugation.”

“…yes? “Me?”

The guy asked as if he was very embarrassed.

“why? no?”

“Oh no. It’s not like that… It’s my first time getting to the yellow level…”

“I heard you were promoted to B rank this time. “Then that’s enough.”

“The date is…”

“Monday in a week.”

When I spoke, the guy nodded slightly.

“Anyway, you just have to follow along. Because I will take care of the subjugation. “You are only responsible for mapping and clearing up monsters around the area.”

“….”

For some reason, his gaze dropped and there was no answer.

I called again.

“Hey, answer me. Kim Min-joo.”

“Oh yes yes.”

It was time to click my tongue at her somewhat awkward appearance.

‘Oh shit…’

I took my documents and left the office.

***

“Oh, I can’t eat it~.”

Operation Team 1 office.

As soon as Kim Jun-woo left the office, Hunter Geum Se-young stretched and raised his voice.

“The bastard called team leader is a stupid old man, and the bastard called team ace is a person with a broken personality…. The teamwork is amazing.”

Geum Se-young.

Hunter Kim Min-ju’s classmate and the only B-rank hunter on the team like her.

“But why is that bastard Kim Jun-woo getting more and more angry? “Why do I release to you what was broken by the team leader?”

She said, looking at Minjoo Kim.

“…I don’t know.”

However, Kim Min-ju answered calmly while working on the report.

“It got worse after Regen Dungeon. At that time, all of my close classmates and seniors passed away. “The deputy team leader must be very heartbroken, too.”

“Ha, I didn’t even attend the funeral, so what a heartache! That’s just a sociopath. “I really don’t understand why a guy like that has a girlfriend.”

Geum Se-young was attacked personally and even dragged into her personal life, but no one in the office stopped her.

“If a bastard like that takes over, he will be worse than Lee Soo-yong. “I know that because if Kim Jun-woo becomes team leader, I will just resign.”

“…I see.”

Kim Min-ju’s voice was still calm.

It’s as if he doesn’t care what his superiors are like.

Geum Se-young went back to his seat, as if he was exhausted by her usual dull reaction.

But even for a moment.

“Hey, do you want to have a beer after work today? “I heard a new skewer restaurant opened in front of me.”

“Oh, sorry… I have a subjugation tonight.”

“what? You had a subjugation yesterday too. “Are you doing this two days in a row?”

Kim Min-ju nodded instead of answering.

Then Geum Se-young said with a shocked expression.

“Hey, no matter how good the money is… you’ll die then, you bitch. “I heard my shoulder hurts a lot these days.”

“are you okay. “It’s blue level, so what?”

“How are you? “Don’t you know that the dungeon with the most deaths last year was blue grade?”

Geum Se-young said, blinking.

But instead of answering, Kim Min-ju just smiled.

“Ugh, I don’t know. It’s your body, you can take care of it. “If you don’t have time today, please spare some time on the weekend.”

“okay.”

Kim Min-ju said that and checked the time.

Then, I hurriedly packed my bags and got up.

“It’s almost time. “I’ll go first.”

“Okay~.”

After saying hello, I was about to leave the office.

“Hey, if your shoulder hurts a lot, go to the hospital at least!”

“okay!”

I half-heartedly responded to Geum Se-young’s words, which continued to be incoherent until the end, and went out into the hallway.

At the same time, my left shoulder kept spinning as if it was very uncomfortable.

***

“Are you all there?”

“yes yes.”

“Everyone was present.”

Cheongdam-dong blue level dungeon.

When I arrived at the entrance, all team members participating in the subjugation had already finished preparing.

I looked at each of the eight participants one by one.

Meanwhile.

“uh…? Deputy team leader…?”

My eyes met with Kim Min-ju.

“The deputy team leader was the leader of this subjugation…?”

“What, you didn’t even check?”

“Because it was an inventory dungeon, it was organized on the spot…”

She lowers her head.

“Why did you participate here? “You had a night raid yesterday too.”

“…the incentives are strong.”

“what the.”

Just for a few pennies, B rank subjugates Blue class at night?

It’s better to save your energy and aim for high-level dungeons.

“But why did the assistant team leader…?”

“….”

I hesitated to answer her sudden question.

Then he avoided eye contact and turned towards the other team members.

“Have you checked the equipment?”

“Yes, completed.”

“Then, let’s do a short operational briefing and then go in.”

Soon he opened his mouth in front of them.

“It’s a blue-grade building-type dungeon, and the monster is a crazy rat. As you know, it is a malicious inventory dungeon, so I don’t think it will be that difficult.”

Malicious stock dungeon.

A dungeon that has been neglected beyond the scheduled subjugation deadline due to reasons such as lack of budget or personnel.

Originally, it was a dungeon that two teams had the right to conquer, but the suppression was postponed due to a sharp decrease in the number of people after the Regen Dungeon.

Fortunately, the risk was low and no major incidents have occurred so far, but according to the control team’s report, it is time for the monster to escape, so there is no choice but to subdue it.

Of course, most of the malicious inventory is handed over to private guilds, but…

‘Team leader Soo-yong Lee told me not to hand it over…’

Hasn’t the operation headquarters always had a lot of friction with private guilds in one way or another?

From what I could see, it seemed like they were making a fuss about maintaining discipline again.

“Well, it won’t be difficult, but be careful. “There were dozens of hunters last year who failed to focus on the Blue level.”

“…yes.”

“All right.”

It was said to keep the tension, but for some reason the answers were not very clear.

Everyone had a shocked expression, but….

‘….’

Kim Min-joo didn’t even move a muscle.

I glanced at her once.

“Then…the operation begins.”

Soon, I entered the dungeon first.
