Chapter 303

“You’re here to provide me with hunters? I’m not sure I follow... Can you elaborate on that?”

There was no way she would bring hunters from Hanseong Group to the clan, right?

Even though hunters from companies had extensive experience and certain skills, there was no guarantee that they would do well in the competition... Above all, wasn’t it crazy to take out a large number of veteran hunters who were responsible for the company’s affairs and use them for the competition?

It was just like in baseball. No matter how bad a pitcher threw, they didn’t bring in the manager to replace them. It was the same in the hunter industry.

“The hunters from the Hanseong Group...”

“Cough!”

“...I can’t give them to you...”

“Phew.”

“...Did you really think I was going to hand you over hunters from Hanseong Group?”

Han Seha looked at Lee Changsik in a dumbfounded manner. It didn’t make much sense. How could someone as experienced as Lee Changsik have such delusions?

“Of course not. Ahem.”

“Of course, I can’t give them to you, but I can give you the nomination rights that Hanseong Group has.”

“...!”

The nomination rights meant many things depending on the field, but in the hunter world, they only meant one thing: the privilege of big companies to recruit hunters ahead of everyone else!

Even though South Korea didn’t have large-scale educational cities like other overseas countries, they still nurtured talented hunters in high schools and universities, and it was the Korean companies that sponsored those institutions.

In return for sponsoring the institutions with huge amounts of money, companies could approach promising hunters and make offers before regular clans.

As far as Hanseong Group was concerned, they clearly had invested tremendous amounts of money in those schools, which meant they could easily reach out to any talents from said schools.

“I appreciate the suggestion, but why are you doing this?”

“Some idiots were stupid enough to take something they shouldn’t have.”

“??”nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.

Lee Changsik didn’t know what Han Seha meant, but since she had come with this offer, he decided to accept for now. After all, wasn’t it a guaranteed profit for him?

“I understand. Thank you. I’ll take a look around with Hunter Choi Yeonseung.”

“Uh...”

Han Seha had a very complicated expression, which puzzled Lee Changsik.

“What’s wrong? If it’s uncomfortable for you to meet him, I can just meet him by myself.”

“Ugh...”

Hearing that, Han Seha’s expression became sad, which further confused Lee Changsik.

‘Should I call him?’ he wondered.

“...”

“I’ll just call him.” Lee Changsik made a firm decision.

Han Seha was rather amazed by this. As expected, not everyone could become an A-grade hunter!

“Pick hunters and bring them into the clan...”

“It’s a very interesting proposition.”

Demon No. 139 was intrigued. Aside from supporting Choi Yeonseung, his goal was also to learn more about Earth’s culture. After all, acquiring knowledge about Earth enriched the Demon of Contract and Order.

No. 139 really had many things to study on Earth, such as systematic work processing, efficient calculations, and of course, working without breaks.

The arrogant beings of the Abyss bragged that they had nothing to learn from the uncivilized humans of Earth, but No. 139 didn’t think so.

Demon No. 139 muttered, “The nomination right is also very interesting.”

“Really? Isn’t it something ordinary?”

“Yes! You just have to pay a small amount of money to acquire future talents. I really want to learn from this.”

“...N-No. The method isn’t that wicked... right?”

When it came to the nomination rights, the companies always gave notice in advance, so it was a win-win for both parties. However, Choi Yeonseung had mixed feelings after listening to No. 139.

If a demon admired the nomination right, there had to be something sinister about it.

“Umm.”

“No, Hunter Choi Yeonseung. It’s a good method. In fact, the constellations of the Abyss are now seriously considering getting their hands on humanity.”

“!”

“No. You’ll know when you see it.”

Lee Changsik was right. There were quite a few people on campus who covered their faces just like them.

“It’s going to be troublesome if rumors spread that someone’s aiming for a particular student. In addition, there might be scouts from overseas.”

“Those people don’t have the nomination rights. Can they do this?”

“They do it in secrecy. Even if they get criticized, they still make a lot of profit by recruiting talented people.”

The students would also receive all kinds of criticism if they went overseas after receiving so much support from South Korea. However, some people were willing to endure that much if they could make a lot of money as a hunter.

“It reminds me of Gyeongryong hyung,” said Choi Yeonseung.

“No, this is definitely different from Gyeongryong hyung! Gyeongryong hyung had never signed any contracts beforehand or received any support! He acted purely out of patriotism. What are you talking about?”

“...I just said it reminded me of him. I didn’t swear at him, did I?”

“...”

Lee Changsik had his true thoughts revealed and cleared his throat in embarrassment. Choi Yeonseung smiled.

“Hyung, if you want to make up with him, just...”

“I don’t know what you are talking about.”

“You got mad when you thought I talked badly of Gyeongryong hyung earlier...”

“N-no, it’s not that. I got mad because this high school is named after him...”

“??”

Choi Yeonseung was puzzled by Lee Changsik’s words and thought again about the name of the high school.

‘Is the name Hwangryong really...’

Did Hwang Gyeongryong himself know about this?

***

“What do you think?”

“Not bad. Honestly, I think this person is the best one in this high school.”

People from various companies were watching the hunters with expressions of excitement. One of them was from Namhyeong Group, a Korean group that was as huge as Hanseong Group!

Given how many corporate people were here, a staggering amount of hunters would be recruited!

“Don’t be vague. Speak clearly.”

“No, I thought I made it clear...”

Kim Chandong, a hunter from one of South Korea’s three major clans, the Golden Blood Fish clan, was dumbfounded. He would’ve been angry if he had been on active duty. However, he was currently a scout, not an active hunter, and the person talking to him was an executive of Namhyeong Group.

However, that person wasn’t just a regular executive, but a direct executive on the chairman’s side!

When it came to large groups, even hunters had to bow their heads.

“Do you understand? I don’t need second place. All I want is number one.”

“Yes.”

“Say it again. Does that hunter look like number one?”

“As far as I’m concerned, he is number one.”

“Okay. I’ll take note of that.”

The other person nodded in satisfaction and left for a moment.

Kim Chandong sighed. He was sweating from the pressure that this young man put on him.

‘Are they from overseas or from a private clan?’

A few people wearing masks sat down next to him, but Kim Chandong didn’t pay much attention to them.

The students would soon graduate, which meant that various suspicious people would enter the school at around this time.

“What do you think?”

“He’s not good. He looks fine on the outside but is rotten inside. In addition, you want to avoid the ones with a bad personality, right?”

“Is it that bad? Alright, I understand.”

“...!??”

Kim Chandong couldn’t believe the conversation he heard next to him.

The hunter they were talking about, who was now warming up on the field in front of him, was unanimously considered the most talented student at Hwangryong High School.

“You over there. Why would you say that? Are you sure you didn’t get it wrong?” said Kim Chandong without even realizing it.
