Civil Servant Hunter’s S-class Resignation Log

Chapter 3



Chapter 3

When she lowered her hand, a transparent protective shield, which she did not know when it was created, stood in the way between the wolves and her.

The wolves, wanting to rush in at any moment, were drooling and prowling outside the indestructible-looking shield.

What the hell happened?

“Administrator…”

What do you mean by a system administrator? Does such a thing really exist?

Some used to speculate that there might be someone who manages the system that can only be used by the Awakeneds just like in games.

However, no one was sure because unlike the stars and the god-like being Entities, they had never revealed their existence.

[T/N: Me and my Korean language advisor, who is legit Korean, have zero ideas as to what to translate “Entities” to aside from that they’re godlike beings that are supposedly helping the Awakened in this novel. The Korean word is 성체. If you can help, I’d really appreciate it.]

But such an administrator appears here?

“… Administrator-nim?”

When Seora, who was half-suspicious, asked toward the air, a new message came before her eyes as if it had been waiting.

[Checking information about ‘Yoon Seora’, the Awakened who uttered abusive language at the system administrator.]

“…”

What’s that?

What— Swearing at the system is a spell to summon him…?

Seora, who was speechless for a moment, hurriedly apologized before offending the administrator.

“Hey, I’m sorry for swearing at you! I must have gone crazy for a moment.”

The message popped up again.

[Information collection completed]

Name: Yoon Seora (Class F)

Title: None

Characteristic: Combat field shooter

Entities in Contract: None

Special Note: Having a tough mouth to curse even her benefactor

“…”

Is it just me or does that last peculiar phrase really looks unusually bold?

It seems that the system administrator is somewhat narrow-minded.

Seora immediately fell flat on the floor.

“I’m sorry, Administrator-nim. I was wrong. And… Thank you so much for saving me.”

Who knew the administrator would be listening? I was trying to insult Park Jinyong, but the word came out wrong, I didn’t mean to insult the system.

Seriously.

[Name: Yoon Seora]

[Awakening grade: Class F]

【Comprehensive Evaluation Value】

Magic Power: Class F

Mana Sensitivity: Class F

Combat Strength: Class E

Title Assignment: Not possible

Entity Contract: Not possible

Awakening Limit: Class F

However, seeing that a comprehensive evaluation popped up instead of an answer, it seemed that the administrator’s burden in its mind was still not resolved.

Look. Isn’t that the weakest ability one could possibly have that could make anyone laugh?

Awakeneds could rise to a higher rank if they worked hard. The same was true of F-class, but Seora was so incompetent that even that was impossible.

So how could the god-like Entities be interested in her? Even if she survived here, nothing would change.

She would be an F-class all her life. She would always be ignored. And she might end up going through something like this again.

But.

“That’s right. I am weak.”

I don’t care.

“I’m really sorry that I swore at you. I didn’t do that on purpose. But I wanted to live that much.”

She hadn’t been living to be monsters’ food right now.

“Until the end, I want to survive even if others point their fingers at me.”

Seora smiled brightly even before the window screen that was showcasing her ability which was the lowest among the lowest.

“They say it’s better to roll in the mud.”

The system window began to glow brightly as if responding to those words.

[The system administrator’s laughter shakes the entire system!]

[Planet—Earth’s system administrator creates the first contract with pleasure.

Subject: The Awakened ‘Yoon Seora’

Confirmation of no contractual integrity

Confirmation of contract availability]

[System Administrator’s Agreement]

The world administrator wants to fulfill the contract with the Awakened ‘Yoon Seora’.

1. Upon accepting the contract, the contractor’s stats are partially increased.

2. The administrator will not be able to kill the contractor.

3. The administrator may issue protection for the contractor.

Would you like to fulfill the contract?

(Yes | No)

Seora stared blankly at the message, no, the contract floating in front of her eyes.

“A contract?”

Am I seeing it wrong?

It is ridiculous enough that I ran into the administrator, but I can sign a contract as well? Like an Entity contract with an Awakened?

“But why would you do that with me…?”

I blinked, not knowing what to say, but a phrase shone especially brightly.

2. The administrator will not be able to kill the contractor.

Like, if you want to survive here as you want, you have to accept the contract.

“Uh, so are you giving me a chance?”

Seora was speechless. Due to the limitations of her abilities, she had always thought that she would never sign a contract with an Entity for the rest of her life.

However, the system administrator who was not even an Entity was trying to make a contract with her.

No, that doesn’t matter. The important thing is that I was given a chance to survive here.

It’s better for everyone to grab a diamond spoon than to die, right?

“Of course, I will.”

When will there be another time in my life when I can get a better opportunity than this?I also like the fact that only a part of my ability will get stronger.

I don’t like being too strong. It will catch everyone’s attention.

It is much better to be moderately strong than to stand out from everyone and have that much responsibility.

Seora cleared her hesitation and pressed [Yes] with great joy.

[Planet—Earth administrator and Awakened ‘Yoon Seora’ have signed a contract! Awakened ‘Yoon Seora’ became the only contractor for the system administrator.]

[You have achieved the first achievement on Earth! You will be given a title!]

[The administrator’s protection resides with the contractor ‘Yoon Seora’! The stats will change!]

[Increasing Magic Power]

[Increasing Mana Sensitivity]

[Increasing Combat Strenght]

[Giving the second title]

[Acquire new skills.]

[All systems are open.]

[Ability is greatly increased. The overall evaluation value is readjusted!]

“… Ah.”

New messages constantly popped up in front of my eyes. But even without having to read it, Seora was feeling the changes in her body.

What am I supposed to say about this?

Feeling trapped in a narrow tank and suddenly thrown into the open sea?

I felt like I was in a narrow hole and suddenly came up to the wide sky.

I couldn’t even express my admiration at the feeling of a waterfall pouring from deep inside my body.

It felt as if all of my body had been ripped out.

[Comprehensive evaluation is over.]

【Comprehensive Evaluation Value】

Magic Power: Class S

Mana Sensitivity: Class SS

Combat Strength: Class S

Title Assignment: Complete

Entity Contract: Not possible

Awakening Limit: None

【The Awakened Information】

Name: Yoon Seora (S-class)

Title: System Administrator’s Contractor (EX), Sniper (S-class) Who Watches the Battlefield

Characteristic: Unique ability system—Sniper

Entities in Contract: None

Special Note: The sole contractor of Planet—Earth’s administrator

“…”

Wait, wait.

Seora, who seemed to be swept away by the endless force of power, returned to reason again at the ability list that caught her eye at the moment.

I think I’ve seen something strange just now.

Over there. What—

… S-class? ‘No Awakening Limit’? Even the characteristic is unique?

“Administrator-nim, Administrator-nim. You said only some of my abilities will increase. You said only a part of it! You didn’t say it would be this much—!”

Nothing like jumping straight from Class F to S!

Is this for real?

I cursed the administrator, and I became an S-class.

What on earth is this?

‘I thought I was winning the lottery, but this is the level of winning a Powerball…!’

[T/N: Powerball is an American lottery game. More info on Wikipedia.]

Seora’s eyes began to shake violently. She had no desire to become an S-class, so she wanted to grab the hem of the administrator’s pants right away.

But the administrator didn’t seem to want to stop there.

[The system administrator gives the first gift to the only contractor.]

[Sniper rifle has been added to your inventory.]

A gift.

Now that she was starting to get scared, Seora hesitated for a long time before finally opening her inventory.

There was a jet-black sniper rifle, which she had never had before. A very stylish weapon worthy of the title of ‘Sniper Who Watches the Battlefield’.

Although she had developed the character of a shooter, she was speechless as she had never been able to hold a proper gun because her magic power had been so low.

“I could break even a diamond spoon now.”

After jumping to S-class, she even got a sniper rifle.

She was embarrassed to say that she hadn’t wanted to do this before.

‘I’m an S-class… It’s complicated in many ways, but since it’s already like this, let’s use everything we can.’

Maybe this, too, is fate.

“… Thank you.”

Seora grabbed her sniper rifle tightly and bowed her head toward the air. Even more than the rank increase, she was honestly very happy to receive a sniper rifle.

The corners of her lips kept twitching towards the sky.

[The system administrator removes the shield.]

At that time, the transparent shield that was created in the middle of the dungeon was scattered in the air.

Seora, who was sweeping the sniper rifle, suddenly raised her head.

Obviously, the only thing missing was the administrator’s touch, but the atmosphere had been completely reversed. The wolf monsters who had been revealing their teeth began to be scared by the appearance of an S-class Hunter who fell out of nowhere.

“Do you mean for me to use the gift properly?”

The monsters’ tails were curled, a proof of their excellent instinct, but Seora had no intention of letting them go.

If you want to hunt for food, you have to deal with being hunted as prey yourself.

Even though it was her first time holding a sniper rifle, Seora took a stance skillfully as if she had been using it since birth.

[Activates ‘Title—Sniper Who Watched the Battlefield’. Learn how to use all firearms automatically.]

[The amount of mana required for all firearms is automatically adjusted to a very small amount.]

It was all thanks to this title.

Seora pulled the trigger.

“… Ah.”

I got goosebumps all over my body.

It was so different from before, when even if I squeezed my mana to the bottom to fire a mana bullet, I couldn’t even properly hurt the monster’s tough hide.

As if bursting the monster’s head with one shot was not enough, there was no sign of mana diminishing from the inside of my body even after the continuous shots after.

This is the S-class’s ability.

Yoon Seora felt that her abilities had really risen with her whole body.

Taang!

Feeling a shudder that enveloped her whole body, Seora pulled the trigger once again.
