CH 5

First target (1)

After getting off the taxi, Ye-Hyeon bent his head and looked up at the sky.

The Hunter Association headquarters, located in the middle of Gangnam, rose high as if showing off its wealth.

Facing a huge building, I felt a sense of intimidation.

No one would have expected that such a robust Hunter Association would be torn apart into various guilds in the next two years and become nominal.

Ye-Hyeon headed straight to the reception desk on the first floor.

“What brings you here?

An employee dressed neatly in a black uniform welcomed Ye-Hyeon.

It is hard to see because it was buried in a friendly voice and attitude, but if you look closely, it’s eyes were expressionless and only his mouth was smiling.

Instead of suddenly talking about business, Ye-Hyeon greeted lightly.

Then the employee’s expression became milder.

Before returning to Korea, Ye-Hyeon visited the headquarters every day in search of work.

Thanks to this, there were many employees who knew each other, and the receptionist staff were generally no joke.

Status: The normal-looking employee was a B-class Hunter.>

According to experience, the overall skill level was also divided according to the job level.

Having a C-level job and becoming a B-level hunter meant that he can easily cut monsters.

In general, Class B hunters were state fighters along with Class A hunters.

It was a waste of specification to be placed at the reception desk, but due to the nature of the Hunter Association, it was inevitable because there were so many people making a fuss in the lobby.

As I frequently visited the headquarters, I could often see a receptionist who smiled softly suddenly and flung up a huge man who made a fuss.

When the sound of a plop in the lobby came to mind, it sent chills down my spine.

There was a rumor among hunters that they should behave well at the reception desk when they had business with the association.

“I’m here for an awakening test.”

“Oh, would you fill out this document, then?”

“There are a lot of people waiting, so you have to wait for about an hour.”

The awakening test itself was simple enough to take less than a minute, but there were so many applicants that it was normal to wait for hours to get tested.

An hour was quite a fast track.

Even if they sometimes suffered from high fever when they woke up, most of them lived without even knowing that they had awakened.

It was a very unusual case for Ye-Hyeon, who found out about the awakening even before he was tested for awakening.

For that reason, it was a kind of custom for those interested in Hunter to periodically perform awakening tests.

However, the Association seemed to be quite troubled by the people who came to test as if they were stamping for work every day.

It was due to the fact that the subsidies were quite big when they first woke up, that the and that Hunters was making a lot of money.

More people dream of making a fortune than they imagined, and instead of Lotto, they tried the awakening test.

That’s not the case in reality.

The employee told him the location of the waiting room, but Ye-Hyeon politely refused and leaned against the wall in the corner of the lobby.

Despite the weekday, the lobby had a large floating population.

More than half of them were hunters, but I didn’t see any faces I knew.

Ye-Hyeon rolled his eyes and opened the status window again.

Finding a target without any hints was like finding a needle in the desert.

It was even more upsetting to see it again.

I don’t want to be conscious of the status window, but it was not easy to ignore it.

I looked at the woman passing by just in case I happened to bump into the target.

I checked the status window one by one, but there was no change in the status window.

My eyes hurt for no reason.

First of all, I thought I should figure out what it means to “contact” with the target.

“Should I talk to her? Don’t tell me I need to touch her myself. That’s too much!”

It was also unclear whether the target was set separately or whether it could be registered at will.

If it was the latter, he had to refrain from interacting with others as much as possible until he found an S-level ranker and at least a top A-level hunter.

S-class hunters aren’t common either, in 100,000 hunters, only the top 100 were able to get the S-class title.

It was safe to say that there was no chance for an aspiring hunter to meet an S-class hunter, who is only about to undergo an awakening test.

“If a person with a lover is registered, it would be a big deal.”

Ye-Hyeon, who is memorizing Ranker Information, only knows skills and combat styles, but he didn’t care about their dating information.

On top of that, no one among S-class hunters could be called a beautiful woman.

There were many people who were outstanding in appearance, but they were usually in their mid to late 20s even if they were young because they had to have experience-based combat power as well as to get suitable achievements.

“It’s not a hunter, it’s a normal person…”

An ominous thought sprang up, but quickly scattered.

There is no hope already, but there was no answer if the target was not the top among the rankers.

At the same time, it was questionable whether breaking the unfinished quest would help clear the super-large gate.

At the same time, I felt uncomfortable that there were many targets even though I was not going to date four people.

Ye-Hyeon continued to clench his fist and open it, turning on and off the status window.

“Phew.”

A sigh kept coming out.

If my sister was next to me, I would have been hit.

It has already been an hour, but the employee looked around for a while and approached Ye-Hyeon.

“Choi Ye-Hyeon, I’ll show you to the test room.”

Ye-Hyeon followed the staff down to the basement.

At the end of the long hallway, I opened the thick iron door and entered, and a small room was in sight.

The only two object in the room was a hard desk and a transparent box on top of it.

“Come here. You can put your hand on the box here.”

The man sitting in front of the desk beckoned the box with a look of fatigue.

There was a black stone in the box.

<Information>

A fragment of a small gate.

It reacts to the Awakening.

It looks like an ordinary piece of stone on the surface, but it was a precious fragment collected during the gate explosion.

The awakening test was a form of filtering out awakening people by using the nature that they could only enter the gate if they had Ability.

Ye-Hyeon walked calmly.

As Ye-Hyeon approached, the stone shined blue and vibrated.

Usually, you have to touch the box before it react weakly, but Ye-Hyeon was three steps away from the desk.

Ye-Hyeon squeezed his lips and swallowed a ridicule that was about to pop out.

It was funny that L-class was L-class, even if it was a datin sim player title.

The eyes of the tired supervisor were sparkling.

The eyes mixed with expectation and curiosity looked at Ye-Hyeon.

“Is this enough?”

Ye-Hyeon blinked as if he knew nothing, alternating between the stone and the supervisor.

It was clear that he would report to his superiors that a notable awakening had appeared.

It doesn’t matter much because they’ll be caught in the Hunter review anyway, but it was burdensome for Ye-Hyeon, who has no ability.

“You’ve been awakened. You can register by taking the document to the Awakening Management Office on the 3rd floor. The Awakening Registration Card will be sent to your home in two days, and from now on…….”

The supervisor stamped the white papers and obligingly lined up explanations.

“Are you going to join the training camp? When can I help you?”

“Tomorrow.”

“Once you enter the camp, you can’t go outside for a month or up to half a year.”

Carefully…

“I know.”

I felt uncomfortable showing my naked interest, so I quickly received the documents and left the test room.

After stopping by the third floor and registering for awakening, I felt like I took the first step, so I felt very comfortable.

Now, if I persuaded my sister, I thought I could focus on making plans and finding targets for the time being.

It’s not going to be easy this time either!

My sister was dead set against Ye-Hyeon becoming a hunter.

Before we go back…

“Argh!”

I went around the corner and bumped into a person coming from the other side.

Ye-Hyeon fell butt first on the floor.

The tingling pain climbed up my spine.

In contrast to Ye-Hyeon, who fell heavily, the other person stood upright as if he had not felt much shock.

I wasn’t alone, but there was no time to be embarrassed.

[system]

Dating Target 4: Yoon Seung-Jae was found.

[system] Quest completed.

Reward: Open points, level up

The [system] point has been opened.

The [system] level has been raised.

The quest success message that came to mind one after another along with the cheerful melody did not catch my eyes.

“Miss.”

It was because of the low voice that was a little husky and could not be considered a woman from the opponent who was certain to target.

The “Beauty” in the “Dating Simulation” was not a beautiful girl, but a handsome boy?’
