Chapter 6

(T/N: Cheongyong changed to Cheonglang, apologies for the mistake)

‘This is a landmine. No, not just a landmine either. It’s like a hydrogen bomb.’

How was she supposed to respond if she was asked how she got to know this important information that no one else knew about? It was just asking for self destruction.

‘Let’s just pretend I don’t know. I didn’t see anything.’

And then just sneak in once the fact became known by others.

“If the manager is not a sacrament, then nothing will show up if they checked for contracts. Oh, I’m glad.”

That was the important thing right now.

【The system administrator’s laughter spreads throughout the system.】

“Huh?”

Wait, what kind of a message was this? Wasn’t there also a message like this before she signed the contract?

“Administrator, are you laughing to the point the system is affected?”

Ha, she had a feeling. It was clear that this wasn’t normal.

If this was revealed, her goal of living as an unnamed, low-level civil servant would be destroyed.

Let’s shut up. Yeah. She really didn’t see anything.

【The system administrator interferes with the system of the sole contractor.】

【System window is force opened.】

Just as she was about to go to bed, she opened her eyes back at the word interfere.

A few system windows popped up , even though she didn’t even manipulate them.

They said they were an administrator, but they are just manipulating her system.

Seora, who was looking at the window trying to figure out what the hell was being interfered with, soon opened her eyes wide.

“This is…”

It reminded her of the communities operated by the system itself, shops, and banks exchanging coins that can be used in stores.

But everything felt different than usual. When she was an F Rank, all the screens were open only for the upper grades, so she was never able to see that.

Come to think of it, she remembered that when she became an S Rank she received a message saying her systems were open.

The higher the rating, the more systems are available.

That’s why people said that the world was the perfect grading system.

“Hey, when I was at the bottom, it was just talking in the clouds.”

All of a sudden, her sleepiness vanished. Seora began looking through the system window with an interested face.

She was really curious about what was being sold on the higher levels but she didn’t have any coins right now. The same goes for banks.

Thus, Seora opened the community that was dedicated to the higher ranks, to be more specific the S ranks.

【Korea’s community dedicated to S ranks (11 people in total)】

【’Anonymous’ has entered.】

【The “silver screen” blessing is in effect. Due to the effect of the blessing, the status of ‘Anonymous’ is not disclosed to other awakened people.】

The effect of the blessing applied to the communities as well. It was quite useful.

Thanks to this, Seora was able to enjoy the community without being disturbed by anyone.

“Let’s see. What kind of conversation are S ranks having?”

First, I saw the title of the latest article.

【Title: Please let me leave the guild.】

“…”

She probably saw something wrong.

“Most S-ranks are either guild leaders or vice-leaders…”

Most of them lead not just any guild, but the largest guilds that are considered the best in Korea.

But now, one of them was singing a song asking to leave the guild…?

“Is this person a little crazy?”

She didn’t even want to know who wrote the article, so she immediately turned to the next article.

【Title: I’m going to talk about the good item I found at a Grade 3 dungeon today】

“…”

Seora’s silence lasted a little longer compared to earlier.

Of course, even S rank people were still normal, so she wasn’t expecting something too special…

But this is a bit.

“No, I’m sure there are good people out there.”

Yeah! Something like an S rank who is cool, stylish and different from others! She was sure there was at least one person who had that!

Seora read the next article, shouting desperately inside.

【Title: I heard Cheonglang Guild had an accident today. Chief Do was so pissed off, Is Sueonjji about to lose his head ><?? Congratulations!】

“…”

Just like others, the contents weren’t cool, but you could tell when the article was posted.

“They are probably referring to our Chief when saying Chief Do. As expected, the other S-ranks know about the chief’s true rank.”

There was something else that bothered her more.

Sueon, It was probably referring to Han Sueon, the leader of the Cheonglang guild.

Just like that. The leader of Cheonglang guild, who was famous for his coolness, was called Sueonjji here…

Seora made a note in her mind about that nickname so she wouldn’t forget,

Park Jinyong, who threw her into the dungeon, belonged to the Cheonglang Guild, so it was natural that the guild leader who was associated with him looked bad in her eyes.

One day she would definitely call the leader of the Cheonglang guild Sueonjji.

Seora clicked into the article about the matter with a firm commitment. She wanted to read this one.

【Chief Do, are you reading this? If you are reading, please call me before you hit Sueonjji. I really want to see Sueonjji lose his head.

Ugh, he should have trained his guild members well! How did he even come up with the idea of touching an employee working under the chief of the management office?

It can’t be helped. Sueonji, come visit our guild later. I’ll teach sueonjji how to train a hunter well^^!!】

She couldn’t believe a man who was known for being cool and arrogant would get hit on the head.

It was exciting just thinking about it, she wanted to see it with her own eyes.

“Huh? But doesn’t that mean the Chief is stronger than Han Sueon…?”

For an opponent to lose their head, you have to be stronger than them.

Did that mean that Do Junyoung was much stronger than Han Sueon, the king of magic?

Naturally the appearance she saw at the park was very terrifying.

Suddenly feeling secure, Seora smiled happily and went to look at the comments.

|Yeonhee| : The park where the gate bursted was destroyed. It seems that Chief Do is very angry.

|Hope to quit forever| : Please let me leave the guild.

└|Guardian Spirit Guild is the best| : Your guild leader was looking for you earlier. So I will find your location and let them know ㅇㅇ

└|Hope to quit forever| : A-Aughuhshah!

“…S-Rank communities aren’t different at all.”

No, it actually looked crazier than normal communities.

Seora’s expectations shattered as she glanced at the nicknames.

Ha. Everyone pretended to be so dignified at official events, but behind the scenes they were playing around like this…? It was all just a scam.

【Written by: Noel-ssi】

Even the author of this playful article seemed to be the guild leader of the Noel Guild, which was proudly ranked 3rd within the domestic guilds.

(So Noel and Sunset uses the same hangul, but because the nickname has -ssi in it which is used on people I used the version that sounded like a name, aka Noel. But just keep in mind that Sunset also works)

“I heard Noel’s guild leader and Cheonglang’s guild leader were not on good terms. It seems that was real.”

In addition, the person who was crying that they wanted to leave their guild seemed to be the deputy leader of the Eternal Guild, which was ranked first within domestic guilds.

Oh, how truly devastating. The Eternal Guild was her favorite….

Just like the first time she saw the administrator use emoticons, she felt devastated and deeply depressed.

“…I’ll check the rest later.”

She couldn’t look at it anymore today, she felt too tired. Seora turned off all the windows and laid on the bed sobbing.

After seeing the community, she only had one thought.

Her real identity should never be revealed to these swindlers.

If caught, all sorts of crazy people might create a fuss and take over the community.

Seora’s face turned pale in an instant. What a terrible thing. No, never.

“Starting today I am a civil servant who is hiding her strength.”

No, wait a second. Come to think of it, did she really have to continue working as a civil servant now that she was a S-rank?

There is nothing better than being a civil servant to live without difficulty as an F-rank Awakener, but after becoming an S rank, that no longer had any meaning.

“I can’t quit right now… There is one problem.”

There was someone in the association who would pry into the situation if she quit.

After thinking about him for a moment, Seora shook her head.

She had no intention of letting that person know of her S rank awakening. It wasn’t because they wouldn’t believe it.

It was because they would remember someone who they valued that they eventually lost.

“Until a good reason comes up, I should remain calm for now.”

Living as a civil servant who hid her power for a while without anyone, including S-ranks noticing.

That was her only goal for the future.

Seora made a firm determination and clenched both fists.

【System: (΄◞ิ౪◟ิ‵ )】

The manager laughed at her resolution, but she covered her head with the blanket and pretended not to see it.

***

The call came very late at night.

Seora, who had been sleeping in a daze, opened her eyes as soon as the cell phone placed by the bed rang.

When she realized that, she was just surprised.

“I see. This is the sense of an S-rank..”

It only rang once, but her eyes were open. She looked at the screen, thinking it was amazing, and stopped for a moment.

It was an international call.

If it were anyone else, she would be fed up thinking it’s another scam call from somewhere, but it wasn’t.

Seora pressed the call button without hesitation.

—Are you hurt anywhere?

As expected. She was very familiar with the voice that urgently questioned her.

“You already heard the news? I am okay, so don’t worry, oppa.”

It was the voice of her brother that she hadn’t heard in months.

—How is everything?

“It was a big deal, but it wasn’t a big problem. I was lucky because it was a dungeon where they fought over territory.”

He was also an Awakened, so there were no explanations needed. As expected, a voice of relief was heard without further questions.

—That’s a relief. I am really relieved. Where are you now?

“Hospital. I’m not hurt, but my manager told me to stay in the hospital for about a day just in case of a trauma. So you don’t have to come to Korea, oppa.”

—…

In the quiet silence, Seora smiled as if she knew it.

It was obvious. He must have heard what happened to her and tried to come to Korea right away. Because he was really worried.

“I’m really fine, so you don’t have to worry.”

—Who threw you in the dungeon?

“The chief beat them up for me. It was great to see them covered in blood.”

She had only seen the results, but she was relieved to see that he turned into a wreck while she didn’t see him.

Of course, it would have been better if she did it herself, but that’s for the future.

“How are you doing, oppa? It hasn’t been long since India’s Grade 2 dungeon raid ended. You didn’t get hurt, did you?”

—Is it time to worry about my wounds? Of course, I’m not seriously hurt either. It’s fine.

“Oh, that’s a relief. I’m a little relieved now.”

—You’re really… No, it’s time to sleep, but I interrupted you. I’m sorry. You must have had a hard time. Take a good rest, and stop. Don’t think about anything.

“Yes.”

She wanted to nag him more, but she had to put up with it because of the circumstances.

Seora laughed quietly and sighed again.

Fortunately, he didn’t say anything more and hung up after asking for a few more things.

“This won’t make oppa come to Korea. Thank God.”

Unlike Seora, her older brother Jaeheon was a high ranking hunter who was fairly active overseas.

The place he belonged to was a stateless guild that was active all over the world.

Thanks to this, he was quite famous in Korea, so if he entered the country, there would be an uproar of people trying to interview him or other possible things.

If she was unlucky, her family relationship with him would have been revealed. Now that she had become an S-rank, she really didn’t want that.

Thin and long, unnoticed by other S-rank!

That was her only goal.

But perhaps such a resolution was too strong.

Even though she was an S-rank, she was not immune from nightmares, and she was suffering from a terrible nightmare where she caught everyone’s attention as her identity was revealed throughout the night.
