Civil Servant Hunter’s S-class Resignation Log

Chapter 41

[Title: Crazy ;;; Is the story of two L-classes in a row true? ;;;]

[This whole riot is crazy ;; Is this the ascension of L-class? ;;; The world has been turned upside down ;;;

I mean, it’s not surprising to see L-class appearing after Headbang, but how could it be more than one? It’s the first time in the world that L-class, not other grades, appeared in succession like this. And in Korea?????

I’m going crazy. My mind is blown. No, I don’t intend to eat soup, but if you keep putting a funnel in your mouth like this, I’ll have to eat it.]

[T/N: Eating soup: Proud of one’s own country. He’s saying I’m not trying to boast about my country, but if you keep forcing it (L-class keep appearing), then I’ll have no choice but to do so.]

[Comment]

Why? I’m so busy eating what’s being poured into my mouth

I couldn’t believe my eyes. Even the non-Awakened kids are going crazy, too.

Did they say it’s a combatant? Kya, I don’t know if it’s a swordsman or a mage, but a strong person has appeared again!!! Now we are also a powerful country!!!!!!

Did you see the responses from overseas communities? It’s a mess there. They said Korea hid it until now before releasing it all at once. Some said they were originally an Awakened from another country, but Korea stole them. And many more things like that.

└ Why are they doing this to us when it’s the US who steals people? So if they love someone, it’s a romance, but if others do, it’s an affair? Let it go~ Let it go~

└ Why hide it, stupid? Even with one L-class, our national strength goes up

I don’t think the US will stand still. They will come for real. I think something will happen soon. I’m 100% sure that someone from the US will come to Korea

└ What will they do when they come? There is a tiger in our country. The only one who’s more reliable than the L-classes. Thanks to Song Hanna, I’m not scared even if the Americans come.

└ agreeeed

└ agreed (2)

└ (3)

└ agreeeeeed (4)

Since the Hunter era’s beginning, the nation’s center had naturally shifted to Awakened.

Because only the Awakened can attack the dungeon, subdue the monster, and close the gate.

However, that didn’t mean the top government officials were made up of Awakened. Many politicians were still not Awakened, and most of the Awakened belonged to the military or security office.

The current president, Jang Inhoo, was also a non-Awakened.

“I am not very happy to meet the president of the association. Just looking at you is scary.”

While saying that, Jang Inhoo was smiling softly. He was someone who liked to joke.

“Aigoo. I’m the one who should be scared if you, the one who strengthened the Awakened Punishment Law, say that.”

Hearing the reply, Jang Inhoo chuckled.

“Still, the news of civilian casualties has decreased. All thanks to the help of the president of the association. I’m grateful.”

“There is nothing more annoying than an unbridled beast. It is only natural to place such restrictions for the sake of all Awakened.”

The reason Jang Inhoo was able to be elected president was all thanks to his promise to strengthen the Awakened Punishment Law. After he was elected, he took the lead in solving the problem and succeeded in institutionalizing the law.

Because Song Hanna, the highest positioned Awakened in Korea, supported it.

“And you don’t have to thank me. I might be the one who strengthens the law, but you’re the only one who could control the reins.”

It was just that the interests were aligned.

Since his days as a member of the National Assembly, Jang Inhoo had proposed many laws for Awakened. He was the only one who thought of both the non-Awakened and the Awakened.

“I will continue to work hard to not lose the trust of the association’s president. In that sense, what have you decided to do with the two L-classes that appeared recently? Aren’t they the ones whose reins can’t be controlled?”

Tiredness appeared on the relaxed Jang Inhoo’s face for the first time.

“The public’s anxiety will grow even greater if it is known that Hunter is coming from the US. I want to stop that. I am worried, but I am also worried that the opposition party will do something useless.”

Song Hanna nodded her head as if she understood.

“I know how you feel. But how dare I take the reins? It’s impossible because even I can’t win. It’s impossible…”

Her lips gave a twisted smile.

“Why are you all telling me to take the reins? Oh, apologies. I shouldn’t have said that.”

Song Hanna smiled brightly as if it was just a mistake. But Jang Inhoo very well that she meant it. He shook his head.

Jang Inhoo’s principle not to discriminate between the Awakened and the non-Awakened drew great opposition from the opposition. Because the majority of lawmakers, who were non-Awakened, were afraid of losing their jobs.

In particular, as soon as the US Hunter’s visit was announced, they had been visiting the Blue House all day. Fussing about protecting the L-classes and having to rein them in no matter what.

Some impatient people had even called Song Hanna.

Only a few politicians who were well aware of the Awakened and the Association were spared. Jang Inhoo was the later.

“Of course, having two L-classes raises national dignity, so it’s not that I don’t understand at all.”

“It’s even scarier when the association’s president says that.”

“I can’t stop it. They’re both very strong. Considering your approval rating, we’d better hold onto them, but we can’t force them.”

Jang Inhoo only smiled bitterly as if he had already expected it.

Even so, Song Hanna tried to hold on to the rope and didn’t directly say no, just in case. Jang Inhoo didn’t want to do the stupid thing of ignoring her warning because she was a frightening person who’d built the association in a short time of 12 years.

Although the association under Song Hanna was a national institution, it was the only independent institution in Korea that did not belong to any government department.

“But I can offer one help for the poor president.”

“What kind of help?”

Knock. The quiet knock on the sofa stopped. At that moment, he got chills from the spine.

Jang Inhoo’s face turned blue, and at the same time, the bodyguards, made up of Awakeneds who had been waiting outside, rushed inside. However, their faces also turned bad immediately.

The magic emitted by Song Hana was already weighing on the president’s office.

“Association’s president…!”

“Tell the idiots who don’t listen.”

A golden pattern appeared on Song Hanna’s fair face and the back of her hand. It was like a tiger’s pattern.

“‘If in the end, the L-classes decide to leave, then the whole nation will be angry with you.’”

I will make sure to do so.

Song Hanna said proudly in a place with many eyes on purpose. This was a warning. I only do my front cover for those who are important to me.

“Just tell those people to be quiet, shut up, and hold their breath. I’ll be the one to hold onto the L-classes’ pants and beg them not to go.”

As Song Hanna tapped on the sofa again, the golden pattern that had risen above her skin disappeared at once. In the calm air again, Jang Inhoo half loosened his necktie. In a short time, his back was soaked with cold sweat.

“The association’s president is really, really scary.”

“You have to understand, Mr. President. There is no better warning to fools than this.”

No, sadly.Sigh. Jang Inhoo sighed and waved his hand. The bodyguards faltered out of the office.

Sooner or later, what happened here would spread quickly. And, as Song Hanna had said, it would be helpful for Jang Inhoo and everyone else.

Please heed the warning and stay calm.

Jang Inhoo trembled as he remembered the momentum that Song Hanna had radiated.

As I always think, holding her hand was the best thing I’d ever done.

Unlike a certain president who bought Song Hanna’s wrath and had to end up in prison.

Seora rubbed her eyes and stood up.

It was dark around the middle of the night. She pondered for a moment, but as she was thirsty, young Seora got out of bed and left the room.

But the house that should’ve been dark was quite bright. From the living room, there was a lot of light and conversation. Seora’s small feet instinctively headed there.

Before her toes could even touch the light, a loud roar rang out. She flinched, her eyes wide open, and stopped.

“How long will it be? Do you know what you’re doing? You keep pushing yourself into a more dangerous place!”

‘It’s Auntie’s voice.’

When she discovered that it was her mother’s friend, Song Hanna, her nervous body relaxed. She was always friendly, but recently she often got angry with her mother.

Seora, who had turned pale, sat down with her back against the wall.

“Who told you not to? It’s up to you to do it. But you need to take care of your body! Look at you now!”

Even the young Seora could understand why Song Hanna was angry.

Her mother was a hero who beat monsters.

But because of that, her mother always had to live with small wounds. Sometimes she bled and sometimes put tight bandages around her body. Even today, her mother had to put bandages all over her body.

As sad as Seora was, Song Hanna also grieved for the wound.

“What will the kids think of every time they see it!?”

“But I can’t help doing what I can. It’s a matter of tens of thousands, if not millions. Maybe we could save hundreds of millions.”

Unlike Hanna, her mother’s voice was calm.

“I must protect those lives. I’ll live for my children somehow. Of course I’m a little hurt… Don’t worry. I won’t die, though.”

Seora, who was crouching down, hugged her knee tightly. I felt lonely even though she could see her mom, dad, and Hanna behind the wall.

“Hyun Jaehee, what kind of an immortal are you? An S-class is not perfect. We are just ordinary humans who can die if we lift one wrong foot.”

“I know, but what can I do? How will I turn around with the life I could have saved?”

As Song Hanna spat out a loud curse, Seora heard her father comforting the two of them.

But Seora knew. Eventually, Hanna would leave her house in anger again, and Mom would come back hurt, fighting monsters as usual.

‘I hate heroes.’

Seora used to like the heroes on TV. It was always wonderful to see the bad villains being beaten up.

But she hated it now. Because the mom who became her hero was always hurt. There was no such thing as a perfect victory like the ones in TV cartoons.

Seora hoped that her mother would no longer be a hero. She just wanted her to be by her side like other mothers.

“Seora.”

Sera, burying her face in her lap, suddenly raised her head. Her brother was staring at her.

“Can’t you sleep?”

“… Mm.”

“Come here.”

She got up and followed Jaehun. For some reason, she was so tired that she forgot that I was thirsty.

“Brother. Mom and Auntie fought again.”

“Mmm, it’s all right. Auntie still likes Mom.”

That was true. Seora, lying back in bed, nodded and covered herself with a blanket.

“My friend is coming tomorrow. He will also buy snacks you like.”

“That shy guy?”

Jaehun laughed at Seora’s words. The friend who was best friends with Jaehun was happy to buy sweets every time he came, but he kept hiding behind Jaehun, and it was very difficult to see his face.

“It would be nice if Mom and Dad could eat together with us, but I’m sure they’ll be busy tomorrow, right?”

“Yes. I hope they come back unharmed.”

“Right. I don’t want them to be sick.”

“… So do I.”

Jaehun smiled and gently patted Seora’s body, which was covered with a blanket. Seora, who quickly fell asleep, closed her eyes and prayed for a while.

To anyone who’d listen, may Mom return unharmed and stop being a hero. She ended it firmly.

But her mom never returned, and her prayer never came true.

***

“… What an ominous dream.”

It’s the first time I’ve had such a fierce dream since my hotel life began.

Seora sighed as she got up from a luxurious bed that couldn’t even compare to being at home. Sigh. I slept in such a nice bed and had a dream I didn’t want to remember.

“Is it like a foreshadowing that hardships will unfold in the future?”

It was very ominous to have such a dream while the day the hunter came from America was getting closer.

“I’m glad I can see that fortune teller before the Hunter comes.”

Today was the fateful day she’d meet the shaman Jung Hoyoung had recognized.

I don’t need anything else. There were only two things that Seora was curious about.

Did all my luck really disappear?!

Can I quit my job?!

If the result was negative, she was willing to change her fate by doing an exorcism. Seora clenched her fists.
