Leveling
Ch 244s

Approach the students you meet along the way and ask them questions.

What kind of jobs do they want to have in the future?

And 100%.

They will always come up with three famous answers.

Famous Hunter, large Guild staff, and Hunter Association staff.

The lower child will spend one day wanting to become a Hunter.

The better kid wants to get a job in a large Guild which will

make receiving annual salary according to his ability.

And the smartest son will choose to be an employee of the Hunter Association

most likely it will cut the chances they will get from all

A large Guild, but could be treated as a pseudo-government official.

Even if the kid is a smart kid.

He has made his resolve.

So, when he first told his parents that he wanted to join the Hunter Association, both of his parents were a bit sad, unlike other parents.

His father was a judge and his mother was a doctor.

Of course, this kid is aware his parents want to make their only son happy, and wants his son to rethink his choices.

But, this kid had a dream and it was to make a great contribution by becoming a member of the Hunter Association.

"Why do you want to become a member of the Hunter Association?"

It was a word Go Gun-hee had thrown at the child sitting in the interview with a stiff face.

The moment this question came up, the boy, who was too nervous, ended up in chaos.

Views changed.

But he remembered if he was his goal, and gave his best strength to answer.

"There are many places where Hunters risk their lives and protect civilians.So, so ... where are the people who will risk their lives for those Hunters?"

This boy wanted to become a member of the Hunter Association and stand by the side of the person protecting the Hunters, and that was why he dared to raise his voice.

'Oh - did the illusion I just felt just because of my nervousness?'

But, the smile shown by Go Gun-hee was still fresh in his memory.

So he ended up being an employee of the Hunter Association, looked at by others with envy, left his hometown, and also ignored his slightly regretful parents and went to the Hunter Association headquarters in Seoul, South Korea.

And because the first step of his dream is to become an employee of the Hunter Association who keeps the Hunters successful.

He became very excited.

He also hopes that if he can, everything will go according to his wishes.

But on his first day of work, such thoughts are completely destroyed.

He was mistaken with the idea that he could still do something for the Hunters.

It has been nine years since Awaken, Gates, and Monsters began appearing all over the world.

The Association, which has undergone many failures, trials and errors, enters a stable state and hence, there is no way for the Association staff, who have just taken their first steps as members of the association, to be able to intervene.

The things that were waiting for him at the Association were simply assigned to a "supporting department" to assist the Hunters in their duties, without interfering too deeply.

It's better to say that this is helping Hunter from afar.

"No, I heard the next door neighbor give Hunter coffee or snacks before the Raid.What do we have?"

"I have a job that makes me have to hurry, but can't she write a little completion this month?"

"I don't have anyone to take care of her child because of Raid today.Are you able to handle it?"

This is what happens all the time in the "Supervision Department".

Some low-cost Gates still have to be handled by someone, but, the number of Hunters is limited, so, the association is the body that must adjust the movements of the Hunters.

If Hunter accepts the claim for a Gates, the worst is only if the Hunter who filed the claim abruptly withdraws from the Association ...

And it was people like him who would run in all directions to prevent such a situation from happening.

Because this is different from his ideals, gradually he became tired, but gradually he also adapted to reality.

Then one day.

When he was helpless and bored, a phone call surprised him.

Tiro - tiro - Tiro - Tiro - Tiro - tiro - tiro

When he heard his phone ring, he sighed and said,

"This time, what an old man who vented his dissatisfaction again, come on, it's a serious call!!"

As soon as he picked up the phone, an excited voice came out from the phone.

"I told you not to call Mr. Sung, but why don't you listen?"

He doesn't know what the problem is, but let's start by apologizing.

"Sorry, Hunter, but I think there are some mistakes in the process of building the Raid team. Can you tell me slowly what happened?”

"Well, don't you want to improve our team? What would you mean by putting weak people on our team? Can you hold it? I'll beat you up next time you do this!"

Calls closed.

He put down his phone, stirred up his mind and started looking for the profile of Hunter the caller had mentioned earlier.

A man refused to follow the instructions of the Raid leader, hence the team became in no mood to perform the Raid.

As always, the demand for team member change and for various reasons is common, so I don't think it's a big deal.

But...

'Sung,Sung .. did they say the Hunter's name was Jin Woo?'

When she sees Sung Jin Woo's personal notes, she realizes that something is wrong.

"Eh ...?"

Rank-e.

His magic power was the lowest among Rank-E Hunters.

"If I look at the data, it's no different than most people, right?"

Of course his record is full of injuries.

"Oh my God"

His heart started to beat fast and was stunned, as he covered his files.

'This ... this is wrong'

If I pretend not to see this situation, he might die in no time.

Suddenly he remembered the aspirations he expressed in the interview.

[Hunters risked their lives for the citizens, then, who risked their lives for these Hunters?]

He then nodded.

For the first time.

For the first time in about a year since he entered the Hunter Association,

he was finally determined to do something.

***

The first thing he did was go see his boss.

But it had to start from his senior to the senior boss, then to the other bosses.

No one wants to get involved in trouble.

So he had to go to the vice chairman of the Support Division.

"It's a person's life problem, sir, and it's not a problem you'll solve by avoiding it"

Even though he was embarrassed to exaggerate the problem.

He didn't stop talking.

"What would you say to his family if this Hunter died in the middle of the Raid?"

"Well, this is an unpleasant thing—"

"...."

The manager lifted his head from the data he had been staring at for a while.

"So you're saying there must be a measure at the Association level for this Hunter Sung Jin Woo to not act as a Hunter?"

"Yes, like that"

If he continues to work as a Hunter, he will only end up dead.

"You know all about this Hunter, right?"

He's nodding.

She knew her mother was in intensive care, and she couldn't live a day without tools

life support.

But this Hunter was also a member of the Association, so he could receive medical expenses.

“But, if he stops being a Hunter, he won't be able to treat his mother.Can't a living human die for a dying person?"

Unfortunately, a young man like me couldn't stop him from helping his mother.

But he has to stay alive.

I've never been so determined on Boss persuasion like this.

I finally nodded.

"All right"

Excessive adding if my face becomes bright at the moment.

"But if you manage to help Hunter Sung Jin Woo, I won't refuse"

Everything is prepared.

I've even thought about forcing her out without her consent.

But, before the most difficult process is done, I have to find another way first.

"I understand"

I feel happy.

Students you meet on the street, please ask them.

Have they ever worked so hard in their life?

Not to make big announcements in front of tall people, or to pass difficult exams.

Well, I only had to persuade one person, Hunter Sung Jin Woo so, this is not exactly a big job.

And I'm 100%

Confidence can convince him, because I myself have done careful preparation.

There were many reasons and materials to rebuke his recklessness, which would have left him dead.

One of them is.

With a warning that Hunter must value his life as much as he appreciates his own.

The door of the cafe opened and the face he often saw was protruding in his view.

As soon as he saw her, he became stiff.

He looked at the face of the person who had the first of the 3 main answers of the students.

It's a lesser boy who's gonna spend his whole day being a Hunter.

This is his friend from the Hunter Association.

"Hi!"

He forgot whatever he had prepared to say hello to.

The children who were better than him would definitely want to get a job in a large Guild with an annual salary comparable to their abilities.

'Why did I choose this?'

He wondered if it was because of shochu or because of his heavy heart.

This strange impression spread easily.

'But — I'm determined, right? I must not forget my determination'

He's a smart kid.

At least he knows if Hunter Sung Jin Woo is a Hunter who is sure to survive in Raid, or vice versa, he is a Hunter who is waiting for someone to stop him.

I'm sure I'll be able to persuade him, no matter what.

That'sthat's enough.

Well that's what I was thinking.

'But, how is it possible?'

How could I push the back of someone who had just passed his fear to the edge of the cliff?

My father was a judge and my mother was a doctor.

And I realized that I couldn't blame his boss for not doing what he couldn't do.

The manager who filled the shochu cup without a word asked him.

Of course, I, their only son was unaware of the wishes of my parents who wanted to continue their careers.

"I-i"

He lowered his head and thought about the events of that day.

I saw some news when I was a kid, about a Hunter stuck in the Gates, saving his neighbor.

[Why do you want to become a member of the Hunter Association?]

This question still lingers in my field.

I wonder why.

Hunter saved people from such a disaster, but who saved them?

My parents didn't answer the question, and so I decided.

If no one can help them, I will help them.

Let me try to keep the Hunters from getting hurt or dying.

"But I'm the same anyway"

I have no power for Hunter Sung Jin Woo, who is facing a survival crisis.

There's nothing I can do.

The manager who was looking at him who was so pitiful put down his cup.

"But what if there's still something you can do?"

"Example"

He's looking up.

The manager gave him an advanced Awaken file that he had put in his bag.

"There are people who are classed as advanced Hunters but are not interested in Hunter materials and tasks"

"...?"

"What if we persuade these people to help the Hunters in the Association?"

He looked down at the exaggerated files.

"Hunter Class Healer Rank-B, Lee Ju-hee ..."

High level healer!

If he worked for the Association, he could reduce the dead or injured, and even a weak Hunter could fight without worrying about death because of it.

Suddenly, the face of Hunter Sung Jin Woo, whom he saw that day, flashed through his mind.

His eyes then shone, he laughed and said

"How about that? Do you want to try it?"

The person stared at the file and nodded excitedly.

"Yes, I'll try!"
