As soon as Manager Eun saw Han Suhyeon’s ability, the Inventory, she immediately began to formulate a plan.
A plan for the Hunter Association to monopolize Han Suhyeon.
The benefits of monopolizing the Inventory were beyond imagination.
Currently, the demand for monster by-products worldwide is skyrocketing, but the collection of monsters in gates is not being carried out properly.
If his skill was properly utilized, the 90% collection rate that guilds around the world only dreamed of would no longer be a dream.
If he were to be included in an A-rank gate, he would earn an amount incomparable to the existing revenue from clearing gates.
And that’s not all.
His outstanding appearance and special skill would raise his name value sky-high.
Managing him like a face of the Hunter Association, making him a kind of celebrity, and using him as the association pleases would also bring considerable benefits.
She was planning to make a threat… no, a contract to completely tie Han Suhyeon to the Hunter Association.
Therefore.
Han Suhyeon’s skill should not have been revealed like this.
“Wow… What is this…”
“Whoa, that’s a really amazing skill… To be able to move even monsters…”
Manager Eun felt a throbbing headache as she watched her subordinates, who kept exclaiming in admiration at Han Suhyeon’s skill.
“Manager! Look at that! The amount that would take two days even if we gathered all the collection teams, he’s doing it alone…!”
“He just touches them! He just taps them and the monsters disappear! Wow…”
“I know… I know… So… Shut up…”
Even citizens passing by on the street were amazed and captured the scene on their cameras.
“Hey! Control the cameras! Don’t take pictures!”
Fortunately, everything could be deleted…
‘When did it start to go like this?’
In a moment of inattention, the control of the scene had somehow passed to Han Suhyeon.
He was giving orders to the association’s employees as if they were his subordinates, and he was identifying the location of the monsters.
The association employees were momentarily taken aback, but they shut their mouths as they saw the monster location information being organized so quickly that it was admirable.
His voice carried something that could be called charisma, and the employees unknowingly followed his orders and quickly solved the problem.
Based on the data organized by the employees, he moved directly and used the Inventory to collect the monsters.
Two D-rank hunters belonging to the association were mobilized to protect him in case of an unforeseen situation, but they returned with bewildered expressions.
“Th-The Orc. It just died when that person stabbed it with the rapier he wielded. Wow. What the hell is that person?”
“No, I’m telling you, it’s really unbelievable? A C-rank monster like an Orc, like a toy…! He just stabbed the Orc and it died with a urk!”
The two who were sent to protect Han Suhyeon began to praise Han Suhyeon’s prowess instead.
No, it wasn’t just the two of them.
Seeing Han Suhyeon’s appearance as a commander leading the battlefield with sharp charisma.
The female employees of the association felt a sensation like something was pounding their wombs.
Unlike the ordinary men of this world, Han Suhyeon, who solved tasks with a cool-headed gaze, had a special atmosphere that could not be described.
Looking at him, who exudes an atmosphere as if he had rolled through a brutal battlefield for decades.
They began to be immersed in him, to the point where they thought that all the men in this world were defective products, and only that man was a real man.
The atmosphere alone was indescribable, and on top of that, he was handsome.
An unparalleled appearance that was so outstanding that they couldn’t even dare to look at it.
The association employees began to work quickly to get even a little bit of Han Suhyeon’s attention.
As a result, they accomplished the feat of finishing the monster corpse processing work, which would have taken more than two days of overnight work, in half a day.
It was a miracle created by the harmonious combination of the employees who worked dozens, hundreds of times harder than usual and were literally grinded down, and Han Suhyeon’s Inventory, which was like the hand of God in monster collection.
And Han Suhyeon, who was at the center of that feat, was being tossed in the air by the Hunter Association employees.
Han Suhyeon, who was being tossed, looked at Manager Eun and smiled strangely.
But Manager Eun couldn’t smile at that smile.
Rather, she felt chills.
Again.
It’s that smile again.
Every time he smiles like that, Manager Eun feels like she’s facing something she shouldn’t be involved with.
That day, when she looked down at him while smoking, she felt chills all over her body as soon as she saw that smile.
And strangely, every time he smiles like that, she feels a familiar feeling.
What is it.
It’s like I’ve seen someone with that kind of atmosphere somewhere.
“M-Manager! Y-Yeom Haneul has come to support us!”
“… What? Why?”
Manager Eun asked in a bewildered voice.
That crazy b*tch who lives as she pleases came to support?
Not to deal with the backflow, but just to deal with monster corpses?
“Th-That’s. When I said Han Suhyeon was here, sheeeeeeeep…!”
Yeom Haneul, who appeared in an instant, waving her red ponytail, covered the employee’s mouth.
“Why. Manager Eun. I came because I wanted to. Got a problem?”
As soon as she saw Yeom Haneul’s provocative and self-assured smile, Manager Eun realized why she felt chills when she saw Han Suhyeon’s smile.
She shouldn’t have been fooled by that flashy exterior.
The two smiles were so different, but the indescribable atmosphere was so similar.
That man, Han Suhyeon, is a Yeom Haneul type.
Crazy people who act as they please.
“But it looks like the work is all done. There’s no point in coming in a hurry. Ah, right. Manager Eun?”
Yeom Haneul approached Manager Eun, patted her shoulder, and smiled.
“I don’t know why you stashed that man in F-rank, but.”
The eyes of a beast, shining sharply within the smiling eyes, bit at Manager Eun.
“If you try anything strange with Suhyeon-ssi. I won’t let you get away with it.”
Yeom Haneul unilaterally declared, briefly looked at Han Suhyeon, and then disappeared in an instant.
In a sensation like having a short nightmare, Manager Eun unknowingly lost strength in her legs and collapsed to the floor.
Seeing the bizarre situation where nothing goes according to plan, but the tasks immediately assigned are going well, Manager Eun.
‘Yeah. Well. It’s not like I’m going to get a performance bonus to live on for the rest of my life by recruiting Han Suhyeon. I can live well enough on my salary. Yeah. Let it go. Let it all go.’
“Haha. Hahaha! Hahahahahaha! As expected of Han Suhyeon! You’re amazinggggg!!!”
She entered enjoyer mode.
I helped with the monster corpse disposal work.
Since I was doing it anyway, I worked my subordinates (not) like dogs, like when I used to run a hero party.
Since I was doing it anyway, I wanted to finish it quickly, so I also used the Inventory to its full potential and diligently carried the monster corpses.
There was an incident in the middle where an Orc that wasn’t dead yet attacked, but I drew out Sword Ki and stabbed it with the rapier to kill it.
Certainly, the duration of the Sword Ki increased compared to when I fought the Ogre because the core and mana pool increased through the cultivation method.
But even if the usage time of the Sword Ki increased, it was only about 20 to 30 seconds.
There aren’t always battles inside the gate, but I need to be able to exert the necessary amount of force when needed.
From a military point of view, I was like a degenerate breeding-failure male who c*ms in about a minute and then enters refractory period.
I will have to continue to train hard and strive to regain my former prowess.
Anyway, the corpses of the monsters that filled the city disappeared without a trace.
And I, the main character, was being tossed in the air by the association employees, and I was looking at Manager Eun.
Seeing her pale complexion, it seemed like she wouldn’t try to use me for any tricks in the future.
“Han Suhyeon! Han Suhyeon!”
“Aigo. Aigo. Thank you. You all worked hard too.”
After being tossed, I shook hands with each of the association employees who worked with me.
I smiled kindly and held their hands tightly, and they all smiled broadly.
I praised the hard work of my subordinates (not) and headed to Manager Eun.
“Haha. Hahaha! Hahahahahaha! As expected of Han Suhyeon! You’re amazinggggg!!!”
“Uh… Yes…”
Manager Eun seemed to have gone completely crazy, perhaps because of some change of heart in a short time.
Sigh. She shouldn’t go crazy already.
I said to Manager Eun confidently.
“Manager Eun.”
“Yes? Is there something you need?”
“Don’t you think I’ve done a great job today? I dealt with the monsters, and even caught an Ogre that suddenly appeared. What would have happened if it weren’t for me? Hahaha!”
“… Haha. That’s right… Thanks to Suhyeon-ssi… Things went really… smoothly. It’s a relief…”
“Haha! Exactly! You think so too, right, Manager? Then there should be some kind of reward. Right?”
I smiled very brightly.
At my bright smile, Manager Eun’s awkward smile cracked, and before long, she began to turn pale.
“Today… I feel like becoming a D-rank hunter.”
If I were to summarize what happened afterwards in three lines, it would be like this.
As a result, I became a D-rank hunter under Manager Eun’s approval, and I was to receive a D-rank hunter license a week later.
Abuse of power?
… What about it?
I proved my ability.
I caught an Orc, and I even got the Inventory ability to be treated as a skill, so I was treated as an Awakened.
I was a talented person who was fully qualified to become a D-rank hunter.
I was innocent.
Anyway, now I can go through gates below D-rank in addition to F-rank gates.
I thought it would take at least a month to achieve D-rank hunter due to the cumbersome screening process.
It was a pretty good harvest for a day’s achievement.
Grrrrr.
My stomach screamed, asking for food.
Come to think of it, I skipped both breakfast and lunch.
I definitely went out to relax for a day and eat a warm home-cooked meal, but I ended up doing a lot of things.
Now I’ll just buy groceries and really go home and rest.
I took the bus again and arrived at the bus stop in front of the supermarket.
I tapped my card and got off the bus, and I felt like I had really adapted to the modern world perfectly.
I entered the spacious supermarket and tried to pull out a cart.
“Uh, why is this?”
Clatter! Clatter!
But the cart only made a clattering sound and didn’t come out.
Sigh. Was this not the way to do it?
I’m sure there was something more I had to do, but I couldn’t remember.
Clatter!
The cart didn’t come out, so I just gave it some strength and pulled it hard, and the cart came out with a sound of something breaking.
Hmm. It’s done. I guess you just pull it out.
I pulled the cart and started shopping.
The menu I had in mind was braised kimchi with pork belly.
To make braised kimchi with pork belly, I needed kimchi and pork belly.
I bought two heads of supermarket kimchi and about 4kg of pork belly.
Next, I bought rice and various vegetables.
Rice was essential for kimchi stew, and vegetables such as carrots, green onions, and garlic were good to eat with it.
I also bought a few bottles of soju.
After buying some food, I headed to the instant food section.
Instant foods such as ramen were good to stock up on and eat whenever I felt like it.
As I headed to the ramen section, a strangely familiar back came into view.
A large body and height that seemed to exceed 190.
But at the same time, a strangely withdrawn and insecure back.
I couldn’t see the long black hair that reached her waist, but maybe it was because she was wearing a hood.
And above all, an overwhelming and miraculous chest that was clearly visible even from behind.
It would be strange not to recognize her at this point.
I approached her stealthily.
“Ayeon-ssi.”
“Eek?!”
When I called her in a small voice from behind, Yu Ayeon was startled and turned around.
Yu Ayeon was wearing a mask that covered her face and a hat with a hood pulled over it.
“S-S-Suhyeon-ssi…?! Wh-Why are you here…”
“Why am I here? I came to buy groceries because I was running out of ingredients at home. Look.”
I showed her the cart full of groceries.
“Wow… It’s really full… No, th-that’s not it…!”
Yu Ayeon said tearfully.
“Y-Your phone…! Why didn’t you answer your phone…!”
“Huh? Phone?”
Ah. Come to think of it, I haven’t looked at my phone since yesterday.
I didn’t think about it because I put it in the inventory, and I wasn’t the type to look at my phone a lot.
I put my hand in my back pocket and opened the inventory as if I was taking out my phone.
And on the phone I turned on.
[Missed call – Yu Ayeon 68 calls]
[Missed call – Park Hyena 7 calls]
“What the f*ck.”
There was a huge number of missed calls.
