Hunter Management Bureau, located not far from Seoul City Hall.
It served as the so-called control tower, where all the work on Hunter was done.
It is a skyscraper with over 80 floors. First-time visitors here are said to shrink unknowingly from its overwhelming presence.
It's bubbling.
There was a huge crowd near the entrance, even though it hadn't even entered yet.
Today, which is Saturday, is the day when each hunter visits once a year.
Since all hunters could not be graded at once, they were divided into four classes, and Cha Ye-ji, who was in charge of Dojun, was the first.
Do-joon, who was browsing through pamphlets that contained various information such as grading procedures, took out his smartphone and checked the current time.
9:10 a.m. The assessment starts at ten o'clock, but there was still some room.
"Is this your first rating?"
Looking at Cha Ye-ji, who is very nervous, Do-jun asks.
At the question, Cha shook her head carefully.
"I do the same thing when I first take the Hunter test. But it's my first time since then."
"It's a short period of time, but you've been training so hard that you'll get results. Cheer up."
"Yes!"
It was then.
Suddenly a shout came from afar.
"It's Kang Min-hyuk!"
"There's also Han Min-ji!"
"Two S-class giants!"
If you turn your head,
Moses' miracle was happening.
A man and a woman, who appeared to be in their early 30s, or in their late 20s, were walking side by side to the entrance of the Hunter Administration, and people were opening the way around them.
"Please sign!"
Click!
Reporters taking pictures
And those who somehow reach out to shake hands with them.
The scene was like watching movie stars and fans stepping on the red carpet.
"Are they famous?"
When Do-joon was asked, Cha Ye-ji looked embarrassed as if she didn't know that.
"Of course! No. 7 and No. 10 in Hunter's ranking! "Ah, if I'd just shake hands with you, ········."
Swoosh.
Kang Min-hyuk and Han Min-ji.
Two S-level hunters passed Dojun and Cha Ye-ji and entered Hunter Administration.
Do-jun opened his closed eyes and recalled his feelings.
"If you try, you'll catch up in a year."
Like the big-name hunter of the S class, the energy felt from them.
When Do-jun was in the midfield, he was quite famous, similar to that of a first-class warrior.
But it was never a wall that couldn't be overcome.
Well, Cha Ye-ji had the sword of a man called the Black Star.
If I tried, I could easily catch up with a top-notch warrior.
"Ek?! Department, manager! Please don't say that because it's embarrassing.
People around him who listened to Do-jun's words drew attention.
Looking at Cha Ye-ji, who turned red like a red beet, Do-jun smiled.

Hunter rating assessment began with the measurement of the stats.
Hunter's stats data were displayed on the meter through a wave fired from the machine when the forearm was placed on a specially designed 'statometer', similar to a blood pressure meter commonly found in the health center.
Beep.
A man in his early forties puts his arm on the statorAs soon as I let go, the reading of the meter began to rise little by little. The readings of the indicator boxes, each divided into four categories: strength, agility, strength, and mana, soon stopped, and the staff helping with the measurement smiled and printed the result table.
"Good work."
"Cuck. Are you class E again?"
The man got up from his seat by jerking and fishing the printed result sheet with nervousness.
Dojun looked through the 'A' rating table, which is determined by the sum of the numbers of each stad except for mana, and the figures of the most important mana stats.
"A total of 20 or more of the Himmin body, and a mana-stat of 1 or more, that's class E."
The male's stats are.
Force 10, agility 4, stamina 9.
And Mana was two, and in terms of stats, it was E.
Of course, the result could have been overturned by the "real-life assessment" of the monster, but the final rating for men was almost fixed at E because it was not often the case.
"Oh, that guy's a grade over last year?"
"Grade C. That'd be great."
Around the woman who received the C-rating chart, managers of each guild ran quickly.
"Hello! I'm Ko Gil-dong, human resources manager for the Balkan guild. If you don't mind, I'd like to have a word with you."
"This is Buffalo Guild Cho Hyun-jin! We have a large number of Class C and above hunters, and we rent weapons and suits of Class D and above free of charge for new hunters! I'll also give you a generous deposit."
The woman's face was covered with hamburg flowers.
No wonder Hunter of Class C and above was so precious.
Hunter's value was judged to be in grade, and when it came to grade C, small and medium-sized guilds were eager to take each other.
"Whoo."
Looking at it, Cha Ye-ji sighed.
Dojun alternated with the woman who was rated C.
"Are you jealous, Human?"
"Poot! What is it, it's."
"I spoke to him because he was staring hard at me."
"It's not because I got a love call from the guild. Just, ······. Because I was nervous."
ding dong
[No.78, Cha Ye-ji Hunter. Please come to window number 5.]
"It's Yeji's turn. Let's go."
Cha Ye-ji takes a rest,
I walked slowly to window five and sat down.
" Roll the sleeves up to your wrist and put your arms on the measuring instrument."
Cha Ye-ji acted under the guidance of the staff.
Dojun looked at the figure calmly.
The readings began to rise little by little on the measuring instrument, and the measurements were over shortly afterwards.
Strength 6, agility 11, stamina 8, mana 10.
The employee opened his eyes wide, with a slight surprise.
The reaction asks Dojun.
"Is something wrong?"
"Oh, that's not true, ·······. By the way, are you a guardian?"
"I'm in charge."
At Dojun's answer, I thought the employee would be a guild manager.
"The mana stats are abnormally high compared to other stats. You must be a person who is very effective in strengthening your body. Measurements have been completed, and the grade is ,·····. Class D."
"Good work. Let's go, Mr. Yeji."
"Yes!"
then
Guild managers watching Cha Ye-ji came rushing in.
"Hello! I'm Mir Guild, ·····."
"Buffalo Guild! 저희는······."
Cha Ye-ji was pacing up and down.
After failing to see him, Do-jun sighed and pulled Cha Ye-ji into his arms.
"Anything to see about our Hunter?"
At that moment, Cha Ye-ji's face turned red and lowered her head.
The guild managers, who saw it, turned around with their tongues kicking.
"Go, thank you. Manager."
"Of course I did what I had to do."
a hunter contracted to the best of his ability
If they lose to the guild, they will not be ashamed to see other employees of the crack exploration industry.
However, Cha Ye-ji interpreted Do-joon's words to the other side.
'You're unexpectedly bold, ·········. Hehe."
Cha looked up at Do-jun's face and smiled back.

After the stat measurement.
After a brief lunch, Do-joon and Cha Ye-ji entered the waiting room of the "testing site" located underground in the Hunter Management Office building, and two hours passed.
Thong.
Dojun tapped his finger on the glass partition separating the waiting room and the test site. Looking down over the glass partition, you could see a total of five stages, where dozens of hunters were dealing with "Skeleton soldiers," D-class monsters, in each separate stage.
"It's finally your turn."
" "···저저, there, manager. Can I really try for grade C?"
Cha Ye-ji couldn't hide her anxiety and struggled.
"Believe in yourself. If you look at it simply with the stats, it's D-level, but now Yeji can deal with a C-level monster."
"Well, how can you be so sure of that?"
"This is my hunch."
"Ha,·,·,·"
I said persimmons.
Dojun had no doubt that Cha Ye-ji would perform well in the actual test.
As a result of analyzing Cha Ye-ji's training, he analyzed her history.
Because Cha Ye-ji's level was already above grade C.
"Academic swordsmanship is a training technique, but its power is sufficiently beyond the power of worldly power.'
The more you unfold the sword, the higher the state of the sword.
In addition, even the mana of nature can be stored in the Danjeon naturally.
Do-joon has become more respectful of Jin So-woon, who has created a new academic sword.
[In 10 minutes, the crack in grade C will be activated.
Hunters who challenged for grade D left the stage.
And the stage was initialized as if it had been, and the cave field disappeared and changed to a grass field.
"As expected, the Orcs came out. As I said, you will never win by force, so don't think about taking the offensive head on."
Cha Ye-ji swallows her saliva and nods her head.
Then she took out the suitcase she brought in, and armed herself.
a bottom-class suit
Class D weapons, swords of Skeleton soldiers.
Dojun thought he should change the equipment after this test.
'If you get a grade C, it'll be possible.'
Chief Kang Chul-soo's big smile was clearly seen in his eyes.
* * *
Cha Ye-ji raised her head and looked at a point.
An opaque partition 30 meters above the ground.
You can't see it on the stage, but in the waiting room beyond it you could see the stage so clearly.
Biting.
"What, why are you here?"
at a pinch
When Cha Ye-ji turned her head.
There was a familiar appearance.
"······나한중."
"I've never seen a grade F challenge a grade C in my life."
When I heard that,
Hunters on the same stage chattered.
What do you mean, class F?"
"Grade F"?
"I'm wearing the lowest-grade suits for distribution."
"Wow. That's awesome."
Cha Ye-ji bit her lips well.
Then he turned around, clasping his sword.
Now is the time to concentrate on the test.
There is no time to pay attention to local broadcasting.
Took.
I looked around.
It seemed that there was no such thing as a "monster" last time.
"Well, try hard anyway. Crack."
* * *
Swoosh.
Do-jun turned his head at the look of popularity felt from the side.
After Cha Ye-ji entered the stage, the waiting room had suddenly become noisy.
Then turn your head and check the face of the man standing next to you.
Did I say Kang Minhyuk?'
S-class Hunter, ranked seventh in the Hunter's ranking.
Although the S-class's turn has not come yet, Kang Min-hyuk, who already appeared in the waiting room, was excited and people secretly took pictures or approached him to ask for his autograph.
"I'm a fan! I need your autograph, please."
A woman held out a paper and a pen in a flush.
Kang Min-hyuk said with a grin.
"I'm sorry. I want to focus on that right now."
His fingers pointed to the stage, and the woman backed away regretfully.
Swoosh.
Kang Min-hyuk turned to the stage again.
At the end of the gaze stood Cha Ye-ji.
