The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 41
041
041
A day has passed since the recruitment screening ended.
Although she returned to the same peaceful unemployed life as before, Han Yu-bin still looked shaken.
The events of yesterday keep lingering in my mind.
It was nice to get an apology from Kim Jun-woo after the test. That’s why I attended in the first place.
However, no matter how many times I thought about it, I couldn’t understand why I got angry during the test.
It’s true that Shin Tae-hwan’s bullshit made me feel bad, but it was still a cleaning test. There was no need to be that angry.
There was something else I didn’t understand.
‘What on earth is that person…’
Han Yu-bin repeatedly clenched and opened her palm, recalling that time.
Han Yu-bin’s strength stat boasted a figure that was far above the maximum due to the ‘Limit Break’ skill.
Of course, because he focused only on strength, his other stats were at the B level, but even so, his strength was by far the highest stat in the American branch.
In addition, the unique skill ‘Hypanic Berserker’ has been activated.
At that time, the strength stat exceeded tens of thousands for a short period of time.
But I blocked it with one hand.
It went beyond blocking and even momentarily overwhelmed.
A hunter who can overwhelm you with sheer force?
Of course it exists.
Several top hunters in the top 50 in the world rankings. And the bastard who is the head of the largest guild in America and is currently ranked number one in the world.
If you include all of them, there are about fifteen people.
But a janitor who is not a hunter has the same power as those 15 people?
Why on earth is such a person in Korea?
No, apart from that, why is such a person on the cleaning team?!
‘I don’t know what he does, but I don’t think he’s called a powerful person at headquarters for no reason.’
The ability is there, right?
Han Yubin laughed bitterly.
I was fiddling with the pendant on my necklace out of habit, but soon shook my head.
Okay, so what does it all matter now?
It’s not like I’ll ever see it again anyway.
No matter what the process was, I had achieved my goal, so it didn’t matter whether I passed or not.
No, it would be difficult if it didn’t fall.
I didn’t want to have anything more to do with that person who was suspicious of everything.
Jijiing.
At that time, a text message arrived with a brief vibration. It’s an unknown number.
Han Yubin checked her phone with a puzzled expression.
「You have passed the final interview for the 6th team of the Ability Management Association’s Ability Operation and Cleaning Team. We sincerely congratulate you on your passing, and the start date will be at a later date…” “
…”
Soon, an ear-piercing scream rang out throughout the villa.

[Unlock conditions achieved]
[1 new member of the dungeon cleaning team]
[Acquired skill: Excessive bleeding – unlocked.]
“Are you okay?”
Minju Kim opened her mouth first, lifting her teacup.
Immediately after the announcement of the successful candidates for the recruitment screening, I visited the Operation Team 2 office.
The purpose was to receive the operation team’s schedule for cleaning work that had been delayed during the review period.
But, as always, the conversation had already gone to Samcheonpo.
“What’s not okay?”
“You saw everything you didn’t like from the beginning?”
“Because first impressions change. “I’m quite satisfied now.”
Kim Min-ju nodded.
“You certainly seem like a sincere person. “You’ll probably do well even if you put it into the field right away.”
“You have to do well. “That’s why I was chosen.”
I answered calmly and picked up my teacup.
After much deliberation, I ultimately gave Han Yu-bin a push.
The other examiners were not very pleased… but in fact, they had no choice.
Anyway, it is true that I received the highest score on the practical assignment.
Even though there were some uneasy aspects, I praised him for showing amazing results after learning how to clean for a week.
Even though his personality is a bit crooked, he can do anything as long as he has the ability. Well, it will work out somehow.
“I think he’ll be good at his job… but his personality is pretty shitty, so I’m a little worried that he might cause an accident.”
Isn’t this the guy who was fired from the US branch in the first place?
I don’t know the details, but given his nature, he would have done something.
“well. I don’t think that will happen. Especially to teachers.”
“…hmm? What are you talking about.”
“Oh, Yubin, didn’t you tell the teacher?”
Kim Min-ju tilts his head.
“He secretly told us about it when he was tutoring. Why was you fired from your branch? Well, actually, we were begging you to talk about it.”
“So what happened?”
“When I worked at the U.S. branch, the only colleague I had was a hunter from the Philippines. “I heard that he was a friend who helped me a lot and could be relied on mentally…”
Kim Min-joo could not easily continue speaking.
“…They said he died. “During operation.”
weird. Wouldn’t the American branch be the one with the lowest casualty rate for hunters? If there was a death accident in a dungeon, it would be something that would happen once a year or not.
“Han Yu-bin said it was a situation that could be saved. However, the control team unilaterally ordered a retreat, saying there were no conditions for rescue, and Han Yu-bin tried to rescue her alone… but it seems it wasn’t enough.”
“The International Association is a place where colleagues are asked to risk their lives to save them if they are in danger. “Then you gave up on rescue…”
Kim Min-joo laughed bitterly.
“I guess there was something bad about it.”
“…her.”
A truly absurd answer came back.
I roughly expected it, but I heard that when humans gather together, things always go wrong. It has nothing to do with domestic or overseas.
“Han Yu-bin requested a reinvestigation from the executives of the U.S. branch, but it appears that it was ignored. After that, he stormed into the control team and during an argument, he punched the control team leader…”
“I really deserved to be fired.”
I understand the motive, but the method made me sigh.
I shook my head.
“Anyway, please be nice when you come in. “He is a person with many wounds.”
“it’s okay. If you treat them well just because something like that happened, they will hate you even more. “Because you’ll think you’re being pitied.”
Especially since he is a guy with a lot of pride.
But let’s put that aside.
‘…I shouldn’t have accepted it.’
If the accident happened out of anger, I would just have to be careful of that one person, but the scale is bigger than I thought, right?
How does this make me even more anxious?
“…I guess it’ll be okay. “Anyway, it has nothing to do with us, so let’s mind our own business for now.”
Saying that, he stood up first.
“Are you going already?”
“What am I playing? “I was away for a few days due to this recruitment review, so there was a huge backlog of work.”
“Ah, teacher.”
Kim Min-ju’s voice followed urgently.
“why.”
“Congratulations on your promotion.”
He smiled slightly.
***
International Hunter Association, New York Branch, USA.
Dungeon Control Team Operations Command Room.
A high-rise office with a panoramic view of downtown New York. A man with a bulging belly was looking out the window with an angry expression.
“Damn it!!”
The window shook with a thud.
Only my fist hurt, but Control Team Leader Jason didn’t care.
“Why was the alternative operation file left behind? “I told you to dispose of it right away!”
“The data from the control team has been clearly deleted. “I think the operations team had a copy.”
Director Chloe of the support team lowered her head.
Golden short hair that falls on a slender body.
She was a woman with the appearance that anyone who was not a member of the branch would mistake for a model.
“Are you calling that an excuse?! “If that file is distributed to the media, it won’t end there.”
Jason’s voice rang out.
But Chloe didn’t bother to answer.
“If you’re going to get out, you’ll get out gracefully…”
Jason’s eyes turned out the window again.
His anger went back several months.
An unexpected accident occurred during the operation that Han was in command of. As a result, one hunter fell behind and was left alone in the boss room.
Han asked for reinforcements to rescue the Filipino hunter, but Jason ignored the request.
The reason was that after weighing the estimated profit of the dungeon and the budget for troop deployment, the profit margin did not match.
For Jason, who had been diverting a significant portion of the profits from the subjugation into his own wallet, one Filipino hunter and hundreds of millions of won in slush funds were not even worth considering.
In the end, the Filipino hunter lost his life, but it wasn’t really a big problem.
Not only did the higher-ups not consider it a big deal, but manipulating reports was Jason’s specialty.
Jason manipulated the circumstances at the time and submitted a report to his superiors stating that there were no conditions for rescue. Thanks to this, the association also did not conduct any further investigation and concluded the incident as an ‘accident in the dungeon’.
Han went crazy, but it was all about helping Jason. Even if that wasn’t the case, it gave us a justification to kick out that bitch who was a thorn in our eyes.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly.
Until Han left the branch and took the control team’s original operation file with him.
Once the file is released, it does not end with just revealing the truth of the accident.
Manipulative lobby.
Above all, it will also be revealed that he embezzled the proceeds of the operation.
“So, fuck… make sure to retrieve it at all costs.”
Jason gritted his teeth.
“Shall we at least negotiate?”
“Would negotiation work with that personality?”
“Then what will you do?”
“What should I do? “You have to take it by force.”
Chloe was shocked.
“…Are you really planning on attacking me? Working in another country would be too risky. Above all, Han is not the kind of person who would fall for something like that.”
“….”
Jason’s fist tightened.
That was correct.
If there are witnesses, the situation will only escalate, and armed conflict in the city has more to lose than gain.
Above all, it is not a good method as it has to be handled secretly.
Damn, is there no better way?
“…Do you know what I’m up to?”
“yes. According to the information team, it appears that he has joined the association again, as his profile has been re-registered on the internal computer network.”
“What are you talking about. “Hunter qualifications have been suspended.”
“Well… according to my profile, I belong to the cleaning team, not the operations team.”
“…what?”
Holly… Jason barely suppressed the urge to curse.
“I don’t understand. Why did that crazy bitch join the cleaning team?”
“I don’t know about that.”
Chloe shook her head.
Then suddenly Jason’s eyes became sharp.
“for a moment. “If you re-entered the association… the Korean Association?”
“yes. you’re right.”
“Now that I think about it, haven’t we decided to propose a joint operation to the Korean Association next week? “What happened to that?”
“You mean the loop dungeon thing? “I haven’t contacted you yet.”
“Call me quickly. And… win the operation unconditionally.”
His voice was becoming more and more intense.
Chloe, who became anxious about something, opened her mouth insinuatingly.
“Why are you doing that?”
“I told you. “I will do whatever it takes to get it back.”
A smile was spreading across Jason’s lips.
Just then, an interesting idea occurred to me.
