The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 6

Morning bus.

Luckily, I quickly got my butt back in my seat.

I felt vague gazes here and there, but I turned my head out the window.

It’s already been a week since I did this every morning.

It’s been a week since I continued going to work with the intention of getting rid of it as soon as I got my skills back.

So far, I have cleaned 25 dungeons alone.

There are 30 monsters dismantled.

The chemicals used were changed in a 10L container six times.

And what skills have I unlocked so far?

One.

Hyper Boost, a movement skill unlocked under quite strange conditions.

[During battle, the caster’s movement speed increases significantly.]

It’s a skill that boasts quite high efficiency in subjugation… but that’s only when linked with an attack skill. What should I do with this?

Moreover, since it is activated only during battle, it cannot be used for cleaning.

‘Ha damn….’

Yeah. Since this is a skill in its own way… it’s better than nothing.

However, at the moment, I can’t even think of unlocking other skills.

Common sense tells us that there is no way it would be possible to achieve an average annual salary of 6,000 or achieve the No. 1 job preference.

In the first place, I couldn’t even figure out what to do or where to start.

‘There’s no fucking answer to this.’

Inside the bus, the sound of my sigh echoed every 30 seconds.

Of course, there were some easy conditions among them.

[One counter – Unlock condition: Increased interest in the dungeon cleaning team within the association]

[Increase – Unlock condition: Dungeon cleaning team budget expansion]

…Same things.

Unlike the others, this is a fairly abstract condition.

Since there are no specific numbers set, these are the things that are most worth targeting in the current situation.

In particular, interest within the association has increased.

If we cooperate in the subjugation based on the information I have for the next 10 years, wouldn’t the interest level of the association increase at once?

If I meet the guys who were on my team, I’ll at least talk to them.

‘…There are over 10,000 hunters, so I’m sure I’ll meet one by chance.’

Ugh, I lowered my head.

If this continues, I will have to do cleaning work for the rest of my life.

I stared out the window with a heavy face.

At the same time, I discovered one surprising fact.

“…Fuck.”

I had already passed the stop a long time ago.

***

Old commercial building near the shrine.

“what. Why are there only two people? “Are the rest of us late?”

The only ones who arrived first were Han Sang-hyuk and Moon So-yeon.

“Are you the team leader? “He went to buy medicine because he thought there might be a shortage.”

“Mr. Heejang is taking a few days off due to personal reasons.”

Sanghyuk Han and Soyeon Moon took turns answering.

“It’s been 10 minutes and you said you went to buy some medicine.”

“I know. “It’s been 10 minutes, why are you coming out now?”

“I missed the stop.”

Han Sang-hyuk burst out laughing.

I think it’s a joke.

Compared to the first day, Han Sang-hyuk’s attitude became almost angelic.

He’s still sharp, but seeing as he doesn’t swear, well…

I guess it was really unexpected that I didn’t hit him for a week.

“I bought you coffee. “You can either drink and wait.”

“What are you waiting for? “We can just go in first.”

Sanghyuk Han pointed to a plastic bag on the floor, but I just ignored it and headed toward the dungeon entrance.

Then Han Sang-hyuk shook his head.

“It’s not over yet.”

“what?”

“Subjugation. “It’s still in progress.”

“…Huh, it’s me.”

I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

This is not the dungeon I conquered.

I don’t know the detailed information, but… I guess it’s a ‘blue grade’ dungeon of medium difficulty.

In addition, it is a building-type dungeon with few risk factors.

Even if you give in 100 times, it is not a place where you can violate the scheduled time for subjugation, so why are you so embarrassed?

“Ugh…”

But that doesn’t mean we can go in and subdue them together.

What can I do? You have to wait.

Even if I am late, it will be 5 to 10 minutes.

It was a mistake to think…

10 minutes.

20 minutes.

And 30 minutes passed.

‘What kind of bastards are late by 30 minutes from the scheduled time?’

Horns are about to grow on his head.

No matter how low they are, if they go out to subdue the Blue Grade, they will still be C Grade, right?

Ha, if it was like when I was active….

“Oh, it’s coming out.”

“…!”

It looks like the subjugation has just ended.

Han Sang-hyuk spotted them first and opened his mouth, and I immediately turned my head to the dungeon entrance to check on them.

Of course, there was no way our gazes would meet.

I was planning on seeing what kind of young chicks they were.

‘Tsk, just by looking at them, they’re all D-class.’

Sure enough, the guys who crawled out after the subjugation were hunters I didn’t even remember.

After defeating just one blue-level dungeon, you end up completely ruined…

Ugh, that’s it. Don’t.

He was looking at each person one by one with his eyes wide open.

Eventually, my eyes stopped on a woman who was the last to leave the dungeon.

‘Oh wait… that guy?’

At the same time, my eyes opened wide.

It’s a familiar face.

Long black hair. A delicate appearance that does not match Dungeon at all with pure white skin that can be trusted even as an actor.

It is certainly. It’s him.

A hunter who was once part of my team and my direct subordinate.

Kim Min-joo.

“…?”

At that moment, Minjoo Kim seemed to notice my gaze and turned his head.

“Do you have any business for me…?”

“…no.”

Kim Min-ju asked with a puzzled expression, but I answered dryly and turned my back.

I tried my best to pretend to be calm, but my true feelings were not like that.

Because I instinctively frowned at her completely unexpected appearance.

‘Damn it, why do I even meet that bastard?’

Did I say that if I happened to meet a hunter on my team, I would try to talk to him?

Sorry, but that woman is an exception.

Regardless of whether he knows me or not, I don’t want to ask that guy any favors. No, I don’t want to get involved.

An unlucky bitch who cursed me without even knowing the topic.

A cheap guy who hated me for no reason.

When I had no choice but to suggest her retirement due to an injury, didn’t she even recognize her superiors and started swearing?

Tsk, he has a dirty personality and is full of pride.

‘I didn’t even know I was thinking about everything I said.’

That time when I shook my head as if I had bitten a bug at an old memory that suddenly passed by.

“Mr. Junwoo?”

Moon So-yeon opened her mouth in a worried voice.

“…yes?”

“Do you know that hunter?”

“no. “I don’t know anyone at all.”

“For that matter, you were staring at me really hard, right?”

“It’s just… he looks a bit like someone I know.”

“…I see. “The expression on his face became so grim that I thought it was his ex-girlfriend.”

“….”

“I’m sorry. “It was a joke.”

Moon So-yeon was genuinely embarrassed and lowered her head.

Only then did I realize that I had a truly murderous look in my eyes.

‘Ugh, it’s done. Even if I care, I’m the only one who loses.’

Anyway, it has nothing to do with me now. The more I think about it, the more I get sick.

Anyway, I hope we never run into each other again.

“Everyone gathered together? “How did the subjugation end?”

Team Leader Park only appeared after the entire operation team had disappeared. And immediately he looked embarrassed.

“what. Why is the atmosphere like this? “What happened?”

“…no. “It’s nothing.”

“It’s nothing! “I just met that bastard’s ex-girlfriend…”

“Shut up. “If you don’t want to be left behind.”

The mouth immediately closes.

“what are you doing. “Let’s get to work quickly.”

In a somewhat awkward atmosphere, I took the lead and entered the dungeon.

***

Blue grade building dungeon.

A unique feature of this place is that an entire building has been turned into a dungeon, so the scenery is completely different from what you see from the outside.

Although the building was only built 30 years ago, the inside looked as if it was well over 1,000 years old.

“Junwoo, have you studied here in advance?”

Moon So-yeon asked while looking inside the building.

Over the course of a week, I was bombarded with too many questions as I was extremely knowledgeable about dungeons and monsters.

I dismissed the suspicion by saying, ‘I studied in advance,’ but in fact, even if I thought about it, it was a lie that made no sense.

Still, judging by the reaction, it seems like it worked somehow.

“no. I don’t know much about this place. “Except the boss is a humanoid monster.”

Well, it’s not the dungeon I conquered.

“now! As everyone knows, it is a building-type dungeon, so by-products will not be noticeable. You have to find every nook and cranny and clean it. “Be especially careful under the stairs because blood collects very easily.”

“Yes~.”

“Well, fortunately, the building is small, so I think we can split the work. Junwoo, you should go to the boss room with me.”

“…yes.”

Team Leader Park and I went straight up the stairs and headed to the 3rd floor.

Narrow and dark hallway.

As we entered the room at the end, a fairly narrow space was revealed.

You can see the half-cut, dead boss in the center.

Humanoid Monster ‘Vega’

“Oh my… Humanoids don’t like this. “It looks just like a human corpse.”

“Yeah, whatever.”

Team Leader Park looked quite uncomfortable.

However, I took a look at the body without any particular appreciation.

A monster in the form of a woman. The size is only 160cm.

Well, at this level….

“I think I can just carry it out without dismantling it.”

“Yeah, that would be nice.”

Team Leader Park nodded as if he was glad.

He moved right away.

“hmm? what’s the matter?”

“…no. nothing.”

I stood there for a moment, lost in thought, and then approached the body a beat late.

Something was strange.

From what I remember, ‘Vega’ is not a dangerous monster.

As long as you pay attention to fast movements and time your attacks appropriately, it won’t be very difficult to attack.

But….

‘Kim Min-ju struggled against this?’

10 years ago, Minjoo Kim’s hunter rank was B level.

That’s what it sounds like, but in fact, it’s a rank that can’t be looked down on even if it’s only B grade.

In particular, I remember thinking highly of the unique sword-handling skills at the time.

If he didn’t retire due to injury, he has the potential to reach S rank.

Yes, even though people were shit, they had abilities.

Anyway, it’s not at a level where I can be bothered by the boss of a blue-level dungeon like this….

“You idiot, why do you keep blanking out? “You’re not telling me to come alone, are you?”

“Ah… think about something else for a moment.”

Team Leader Park must have been frustrated that my movements kept stopping, so he urged me one more time.

okay. Potential and nabal, what does that have to do with me? I’m never going to see it again anyway.

That was the time when I was putting my thoughts together and carrying Vega around.

Knife marks were visible all over the body.

The gap between the eyebrows narrowed significantly.

‘for a moment. Could that guy be…?’

I realized something unexpectedly.

“Hey Junwoo, you bastard! Why do you keep leaning towards me?! “Aren’t you holding it right now?!”

“Ah…”

I gasped and held up the monster.

From then on, I didn’t have to try so hard not to care about her.

I didn’t even have time to care in the first place.

Today was an ‘unlucky day’ and I happened to be caught in two dungeons with a large number of objects, so I was really busy.

When I came to my senses, it was already close to midnight.

I had already completely forgotten what happened in the morning.

I was just so tired that I thought about rushing home…

“Fuck, the last train was cut off.”

It was an unlucky day until the end.
