301 Daddy's too strong. 300.

In the nature of rumors, they are bound to inflate.

At first, nothing is said, but when it is said in a person's mouth, the exaggeration is added and the truth is eventually obscured. That was the latest word of mouth among contract hunters in the city hall.

The rating is approaching.

"Did you hear that? They won't let us extend the contract this time."

"If I don't achieve the grade you set me, I'll leave."

"I told Younghoon, 'There's a lot of people to do besides you.'"

This is what some contract hunters say when they get together.

"You have 50 people in your garden. By the way, there are already hundreds of people who want to enter the contract hunter. I heard they're fully booked."

"All applicants are above grade B Hunter."

Of course, it's a false rumor.

However, contract hunters, who have grown explosively by Dojun over the past year, had no choice but to think that they might be. Dojun's advice was really great.

Goblin's barely catching F-hunter, now he's grown enough to play with Orcs.

Is it because contract hunters have such potential?

No. It was definitely an impossible achievement if he was working as a soloist, or if he was in another guild or management.

"He's not paying me anymore."

"What? What if you don't pay me?"

"Oh, and he says he has to go to work every day, clean the office, and do chores. Ganggyejang told me to leave if I want to. I'll never catch him. "At this point, I'm going to have to do a change..."

The sighs of contract hunters grew as ratings approached.

Would you have imagined that the day would come when the city hall would give you power?

But now the city hall had enough power to do so. As long as there is a Dojun, the power will continue to be maintained.

"Anyway, the point is, if you want to stay at City Hall, you must achieve the rating you set. I think that's the minimum condition. Why, Hunter Management only signed a business agreement with Seoul City Hall to jointly manage the Great Crack."

Hunters' eyes grew bigger.

"That's why Kang said he would change the water!"

"Yes, now that you're in charge of the cataclysm, you're going to raise the level of hunters accordingly."

"......."

Hunters clenched their fists.

Flames sprang from their eyes.

He is determined to remain at City Hall.

The rumor went to Dojun's ears.

If you want, you can hear ants passing by.

I could tell at once that the contract hunters were gathering and whispering.

"Manager, did you call?"

Cha Ye-ji enters the office.

Dojun gave her a chair and sat her down.

He also handed over a list of Hunters who will perform 'ratings' this time.

"......this?"

"Can I ask you a favor?"

"Yes! Of course! If you ask me to!"

"It's nothing else, but I'd like to ask you to lead me on the day of the contract hunters' rating. I'm supposed to go to a place like this, but I don't think I can because of work."

Cha Ye-ji nodded.

"Is there anything else you want me to do?" Are you sure you just need to lead?"

"Yes. I'm very sorry."

"Oh, no! There's nothing to be sorry about."

"I'll treat you to dinner next time."

Cha Ye-ji's face opened wide at Do-jun's words.

***

The day of rating assessment.

The Hunter Administration was crowded with people.

Hunters who came for a second-order rating.

And personnel managers from various guilds and management gathered to make it look like a dove market.

The results of the rating assessment will be made public on the same day.

Therefore, looking at the results, personnel managers approach hunters and suggest 'invasion'.

Today is the day of the transfer market. The heat was considerable.

In a few minutes, the rating will begin at 10 a.m. Hunters, please move to the test site on the 4th basement level. I'll say it again. After a while.

An announcement is coming out.

Cha Ye-ji looked at the contract hunters, who were very nervous.

Somehow, I felt like I was looking at myself before, so I laughed.

"Don't worry. I heard the manager made the decision. Then you'll pass."

"...is it really possible."

When I came to the exam room, I was worried.

It is no wonder that he is challenging a higher grade, at least two levels above the current rating.

It takes a really long time to break the gap between grades, so-called "walls." For example, most E-hunters took at least a year to climb to grade D, and C-levels had to be followed by 'talent' and 'fortunate' to pass in three years.

On the other hand, contract hunters only have one year. Two years at most.

It is to challenge by raising at least two steps in a short period of time.

Then, there came a distant murmur.

Like the miracle of Moses, a man walks out of the way while people open the way.

S-class Hunter, Lee Kang-hyun.

People couldn't take their eyes off him for a while.

When Cha Ye-ji appeared, there was a bit of a buzz, but Lee Kang-hyun was a different person. Then, Lee Kang-hyun approached Cha Ye-ji.

"Long time no see. Cha Ye-ji Hunter."

"Hello. It's a coincidence to meet you here."

Contract hunters glare at Lee Kang-hyun and Cha Ye-ji.

It was amazing to see some S-class hunters talking.

Even more so, it's Lee Kang-hyun. A high being who can't usually look.

"It's not a coincidence. I've heard from the officer in charge. Contract hunters are rated, and Cha Ye-ji is leading."

At the moment, the faces of the contract hunters changed dramatically.

In terms of emoticons, it's 'ᄉ' or ' OO!'? Degree

"Oh. The manager said."

"I asked if you were going to visit Hunter's office. I was going to say hello when you came. By the way, are these people?"

"Yes, it's 32 people in total. Hunters, say hello."

The frozen contract hunters bowed to the ground and said, "Hello!" to Daeseong. Lee Kang-hyun looked over the contract hunters one by one, and soon smiled and said,

"I hope you do your best not to be disappointed."

contract hunters with their heads down

Hunters looking at the floor rolled their eyes.

The contract hunters were very embarrassed when they realized that what Lee Kang-hyun said was definitely a word for Do-joon. Furthermore, Lee Kang-hyun's attitude did not seem to mean anything.

"Don't worry, Hunter Lee Kang-hyun. You'll do well. I've worked with the manager for over a year, so he'll probably pass the evaluation easily."

Lee Kang-hyun nodded.

Yeah. That's a natural result.

Lee Kang-hyun looked at the contract hunters.

As chairman of the board of directors, each of them learned his face, determined to punish them thoroughly if Do-joon was disappointed by the failure of the contract hunters to pass the exam.

The office was quite busy. This is because the deadline was quite tight to compare and analyze the current status checklist of large cracks that were jointly managed by the Hunter Management Bureau since last year, along with the work on the annual budget of hunters to be posted to the city council in line with the extra budget season.

In addition, the ordinance had to be revised.

No matter how high the level of hunters belonging to City Hall is, according to the Seoul Metropolitan Government's Crack Management Ordinance, the upper limit of hunters' annual salary was to be paid up to 300 million won. This was established when the crack management department was established, and was very far from the current situation.

Instead, Dojun decided to revise the ratio of settlement to the profits of monster byproducts obtained during crack exploration. Previously, it was supposed to be Hunter 10 and Seoul City Hall 0. However, it decided to revise the ordinance to change it to 7-3.

Hunter's salary will be raised.

In the end, it is calculated that the local government's budget will be increased due to profits from by-products.

"Shall we go now?"

Kang Chul-soo, who was staring at the monitor, jumped up from his seat and said,

Do-joon and Kwon Hyuk-soo look back at Kang Chul-soo. He's been fidgeting like a puppy who needs to poop. Kang was distracted by the "grade assessment" of contract hunters and failed to concentrate on his work properly.

"What if the guild managers seduce our hunters and take them away?"

"It'll be all right. Hunters will all apply for an extension. I heard that you wanted to extend your contract last time, right?"

answered Dojun with a smile.

"That's what Hunter Bae Young-hoon did... But do you think other people do the same? Hyuksoo, what do you think?"

"I think it's going to work out like you said."

"Ha.... I hope words can be seeded. You see, I've been stressed out lately, right? "It's all stress-induced hair loss..."

an underground testing ground for the Hunter Administration Bureau

Hunters will be placed in a "artificial crack" that fits the level of difficulty they each applied for.

The difficulty of a crack starting with a minimum grade C. And up to grade A. The contract hunters began to wear their own suits and equipment.

"........"

The contract hunters were determined not to pass the rating, but they couldn't clear the question with one side of their minds. Something, something was happening. Around the existence of Lee Do-joon, a huge secret seemed to be hidden.

"Well, there's... Cha Ye-ji Hunter."

"What?"

"The Director knows Lee Kang-hyun and Hunter very well... Between?"

One person has asked a question.

Accordingly, the attention of contract hunters who were wearing the equipment was focused on the time.

Everyone was staring at Cha Ye-ji's mouth. Swallow and wait for an answer.

"Yes."

"Oh, how?"

No. 1 in the Korean Hunter's ranking.

a Seoul City Hall official

No matter how much I think about it, it wasn't a good combination.

Rather, I think it would be hard to meet him once in a lifetime.

"Stick together often for work."

Just one word.

The contract hunters were dumb.

What do you mean you're involved in a job? No, do you have anything to do with it?

They recalled what Dojun usually does.

Explore cracks, settle payments for monster by-products obtained in the process, and pay salaries for contract hunters. Occasionally meetings with employees, including the Hunter Management Bureau crack management team. Of course, there were a lot of miscellaneous tasks, but this was what they knew.

"For your information, not only Lee Kang-hyun, but all S-level hunters know you. He runs to the point where meetings sometimes take place under the supervision of the manager."

No, that's not...

How could you run like a rush?

It's not some kind of dog...

"All the S-class Hunter?"

"Yes, all of it."

"........"

"I'm trying to look good. To the manager. And if you want to go up to level S later on, you should do that's more like it."

The contract hunters blinked.

"You mean you could be an S-class if you could see it well?"

"Yes, and you need to be recognized by the manager, right?"

Cha Ye-ji smiled and added a word.

"Since Lee Do-joon is responsible for the appointment of the S-level Hunter."
