Practical assignment day.

In front of the dungeon where the task will be carried out in real time.

When we arrived, all the candidates had already gathered.

Breaking my expectations, Yubin Han also attended.

“…You managed to come out.”

“why. “I wish you hadn’t come?”

“any.”

“If you’re going to do that, why don’t you recommend it from the beginning?”

His tone is still extremely sharp.

On the contrary, his face looks tired. Looking at the dark circles on his puffy eyes, he looks like he hasn’t had a good night’s sleep for a few days.

However, the look in his eyes was quite different from when I saw him before.

If I had to compare it….

‘Confidence…?’

Did he stay up all night studying for a practical assignment?

Well, let’s see.

“I came to apologize for ignoring you last time.”

Han Yu-bin focused her eyes and glared at me.

“I have no intention of apologizing.”

“I’m not telling you to do it now.”

“I won’t do it again later.”

“We’ll just have to wait and see.”

“It’s obvious even without looking at it… But why do you keep speaking informally?”

An interviewer talking to the examiner.

Is this the American way?

“Well, anyway, thanks to you, I had a hard time for a week. “Your colleagues will be very polarizing.”

“…What are you talking about?”

“You don’t have to know. I also asked you to keep it a secret. I never thought the entire headquarters would attack just because I am your candidate… What on earth is this person doing…”

Han Yu-bin looked me up and down and muttered.

secret?

Headquarters power?

What are you talking about?

“Now, everyone, please gather in front.”

at that time. Seo Min-cheol’s voice rang out through the loudspeaker.

Personnel managers and judges elected from each department appeared behind Director Seo Min-cheol.

“As notified in advance, practical assignments will be conducted in actual dungeons. You will enter the dungeon together with the examiners and the human resources staff, and from the moment you enter, several issues will be presented to you.”

Soon, Seo Min-cheol continued with a brief explanation of the task.

“The review will be based on how you respond to each issue, so please make wise decisions and act accordingly.”

“I have a question. “Is this a conquered dungeon?”

“I chose it as the active dungeon because subjugation is also included in the task. Well… we are all hunters, so I don’t think there will be any problem.”

Everyone’s expressions were full of composure even when they said it was an active dungeon.

Well, they are not rookies, but rather experienced hunters who make subjugation their job, so subjugation will be a piece of cake.

“Then let us begin. Please enter the dungeon.”

When Director Seo Min-cheol gave a signal, the candidates took steps. Examiners, including Soo-yong Lee, and personnel managers followed suit.

The dungeon prepared for this assignment is a yellow-grade cave-type dungeon.

It was quite a difficult place, but considering the level of the candidates, it was a place that could be easily defeated as long as something unexpected occurred. The candidates weren’t particularly nervous either.

Not even 5 minutes had passed since everyone entered the dungeon.

“Issues arise, issues arise.”

The first task was given.

“A request for assistance has come in from Operation Team 4. There are currently no team members available to respond, so the current team must provide support. What would you like to do?”

Soo-yong Lee said while looking at the candidates.

A typical operation team subjugation support issue.

You must choose whether to retreat immediately and provide support or to quickly complete the subjugation and then provide support.

Well, if you were a new hunter, you might have safely chosen the former, but for those guys…

“I will go to support after completing the subjugation within 20 minutes. “Does everyone have any objections?”

Sure enough, Shin Tae-hwan answered immediately.

“doesn’t exist.”

“I’ll proceed right away.”

Subsequently, two candidates agreed.

okay. That would be the natural choice.

Each individual is currently at the level of team leader of the operations team. Above all, they are just guys with confidence in subjugation and pride in their careers.

With four people like that gathered together, retreating would be nonsense.

‘Well, thanks to you, I’ll deduct points for everything, but…’

I let out a small smile.

Self-esteem confidence.

Because of those two, they missed something important.

Of course, I am welcome.

The longer they continue like this and act as they please without knowing what’s important, the more justification there is to defund the power…

“I have an objection.”

At that moment, someone raised their hand and spoke in a confident voice.

Thanks to this, everyone’s attention was focused.

“20 minutes is too much. “I think it would be better to retreat and then subdue them again.”

The person who raised the objection was none other than Yubin Han.

“What is it?”

“If you don’t feel confident, you can leave first.”

“what the. “If you can’t even complete it in 20 minutes, what kind of person are you?”

Candidates immediately dismissed her opinions.

The facial expressions of the personnel managers are also not very good.

A guy named International Association Hunter suggested a retreat from the beginning, so it would make sense.

‘That doesn’t make sense…’

But I couldn’t help but be shocked.

It’s not that it’s not, it’s the correct answer.

That is exactly the right choice.

They are still making a big mistake.

The practical task now is not to review subjugation. Of course, they are interviewing the cleaning team.

In other words, they have to complete the cleanup after the subjugation.

But you want to finish it in 20 minutes and apply?

It makes no sense.

Of course, suggesting a retreat here is the right decision.

But there is no way a hunter full of pride and pride could think of that.

But… no one else but Han Yu-bin would have figured it out.

What happened during the week….

“Since the majority chose to proceed, the subjugation will proceed as is. Please continue.”

When opinions were divided, the human resources manager immediately resolved the situation.

“Then I will take the lead.”

At the same time, Shin Tae-hwan took the lead, pulling out dual swords from both sides.

Han Yu-bin looked very uncomfortable at first glance, but she followed him without saying anything.

After that, equipment support issues, subjugation permit issues, and planning-related issues continued.

Each time, Shin Tae-hwan came forward and proposed, and most of the candidates agreed without saying anything.

An implicit leader was formed.

Unlike him, Han Yu-bin did not particularly stand out. No, strictly speaking… I wasn’t doing anything.

In this way, the candidates solved several issues and reached the boss’s room.

Everyone’s expressions became quite serious.

[Unique Skill: Frenzy]

Shin Tae-hwan rushed towards the boss monster without even looking back.

A bold and self-destructive attack befitting the Berserker class.

What followed.

[Unique Skill: Quasar]

[Unique Skill: Summon – Obern]

Each candidate also began firing their skills wildly.

A movement as if there was a competition to see who was stronger and faster.

The frenzied attack resulted in a truly spectacular subjugation, with the monster’s blood splattering everywhere and leaving traces all over the boss room.

[Acquired Skill: Government]

Among them, only Han Yu-bin continued to have skills that were quite dull.

The personnel managers and examiners shook their heads while looking at that.

But my reaction was a little different.

‘That can’t be right…’

As I was closely observing Han Yu-bin’s movements, the subjugation was completed before I knew it.

The boss room was a mess with monsters that could almost be said to have been toyed with.

Among the candidates sighing as if the task was over…

“An issue has arisen.”

Finally, I opened my mouth.

***

Headquarters office the day before the practical assignment.

Seo Min-cheol called Shin Tae-hwan ahead of the test.

“Do you have any problem?”

“It’s not a problem… I just wanted to help you with tomorrow’s test.”

Seo Min-cheol had a meaningful expression.

“I think I can do it well enough.”

“know. “I know… Kim Jun-woo, that guy is so unpredictable.”

“I tried to be a cleaner…”

“Shin Tae-hwan.”

Seo Min-cheol abruptly cut him off.

“Anyway, he is also an examiner. Above all, once this recruitment is over, you will be promoted to team leader. “Please refrain from making thoughtless remarks.”

“…All right.”

These were words that Shin Tae-hwan could not understand.

Aren’t you a janitor before you are an examiner?

I don’t understand why cleaners directly participate in hiring screening, but it’s also strange that the general manager says something like that.

“Anyway, we really hope you get hired.”

“I am confident.”

“No problem. He was Ares’ assistant guild leader. When it comes to planning subjugation equipment, honestly, you can’t even compare it with other candidates. But…”

Seo Min-cheol lowered his voice.

“The problem is cleaning.”

At the same time, Shin Tae-hwan’s eyes twitched.

“Kim Jun-woo created a task for the cleaning team. “It’s probably not even close to imitating it.”

“Isn’t that different? Obviously, last time they said they were just a cleaning team and there was no need to clean…”

“That’s right. That’s right… but that’s only after hiring. You are currently taking an exam, right? I also wanted to skip the cleaning team assignment, but there was no justification. Anyway, you are currently taking the cleaning team exam.”

Shin Tae-hwan openly expressed his discomfort.

“Don’t worry too much though. “That’s why I called you.”

I handed out a document to Shin Tae-hwan.

The cover said ‘Cleaning Team Task Guidelines’.

“This…?”

“This is a cleaning team assignment created by Kim Jun-woo. I know you don’t have to say anything, but don’t tell anyone else. Take a look in advance. “Wouldn’t it be of some help?”

Shin Tae-hwan accepted the document and turned the first page.

“As you can see, the first issue of the cleaning team comes after the subjugation is over. But it’s not particularly difficult.”

Shin Tae-hwan nodded.

Due to the delay in the work of other cleaning teams, we must clean the current dungeon ourselves. However, the time promised to provide support to the operation team is running out. How would you proceed with cleaning?

That was the cleaning team’s first issue.

‘It’s just average.’

There are four candidates.

Even if you’ve never cleaned before, it can’t take that long when there are 4 hunters.

Shin Tae-hwan smiled.

***

“Issue occurred with the cleaning team.”

I looked at the candidates and opened my mouth.

“Due to delays in the work of other cleaning teams, we must clean the current dungeon ourselves. However, the time promised to provide support to the operation team is running out.”

Why is Shin Tae-hwan smiling?

The same facial expression as before when he openly provoked me.

I looked at him intently and continued talking.

“Also, since all but one died during the subjugation process, you will have to carry out the cleanup alone.”

“…?”

“Then, one by one, please come forward first and resolve the issue.”

There’s no way, you bastard.

Could it be that I wrote and submitted the assignment to Seo Min-cheol as is?

Even if other people don’t know, it’s obvious that Shin Tae-hwan will receive it in advance.

“You’ll have to move quickly. “If you want to finish the work in 20 minutes.”

I spoke again, but no one was still willing to move.

What can I do if I’m already so lost?

The real task begins now.
