Only I Level Up: Ragnarok - Episode 79
Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 79
Hyeonmu Guild 2nd Management Department.
“Hmm. Where did you see it? I'm sure I saw it somewhere…….”
Manager Lee Young-ho of the Hyeonmu Guild had been deep in thought while watching the video of the large-scale disaster captured by a drone..
In the paused video, three hunters were captured soaring toward the beehive with their black wings spread..
Two of them were the famous Lim Tae-gyu and Baek Mi-ho, so it was impossible to recognize them, but the problem was the other one..
The identity of this third hunter has not been known yet..
“It seems like the White Tiger Guild and the Reaper Guild are controlling the information..”
“yes. They say they are responding to reporters' requests with complete silence..”
“That means in the end…….”
“Yes.”
At that moment, Manager Lee Young-ho and his subordinates nodded to each other with confident eyes..
“That means they haven't recruited this hunter yet..”
“That's my opinion too. If it's already theirs, there's no reason to hide it. Rather, it will be widely known and used to promote the guild..”
“of course. Because wing buffs are rare.”
As far as is known, Tae-gyu Lim and Mi-ho Baek did not have the skill to gain wings..
So the conclusion is that this third hunter ultimately applied the buff, and regardless of class, a hunter who could grant the ability to fly to others had tremendous strategic value..
No, the lower the grade, the better..
The lower the price, the better the cost-effectiveness will be..
“We have to somehow recruit this useful guy before the other guilds get away with it. Especially, it can never be taken away from the White Tiger Guild..”
The White Tiger Guild was famous for recruiting only hunters with the Beast Mastery skill, but healers and buff hunters were the exception..
In particular, since this hunter has wing abilities, there was a high possibility that it would be an application of the beast transformation skill..
In many ways, the White Tiger Guild has no choice but to covet it..
“First, you create a contract first. In the meantime, I will try to find out somehow..”
“How about setting a price??”
“Why are players like this? Leave the down payment item blank for now. If it is a baby that has just awakened, you should hit it as much as possible..”
“Hehehe. All right. But how do you find out??”
“with my head.”
Manager Lee Young-ho pressed his forehead with two fingers as if he had supernatural powers and his eyes flashed..
“I know that? Before the cataclysm, I was a hairdresser. And I remembered the faces and names of all the customers who passed through me at least once..”
“……It's starting again.”
The subordinate shook his head and returned to his seat after hearing the same repertoire every time..
But Lee Young-ho believed in his own sharp eyes..
“I definitely saw it. It's definitely a face in my memory. What did I miss?…….”
In his mind, the faces of countless hunters began to unfold like a panorama..
‘This is not a guy I met in person. If that were the case, he would have remembered right away. So is he the face you saw on Hunter Net or the news? … … ah!’
In the end he did it.
“Bird, I remembered!”
It was Manager Lee Young-ho, who suddenly jumped up from his seat like a thunderbolt with bloodshot eyes..
“It was him back then! The E-class summoner who dared to break us.!”
“yes? He's an E-class hunter.?”
At Manager Lee Young-ho’s words, a subordinate who was printing a contract next to him tilted his head and asked back..
“Yeah, man! Hahaha! This is me too! It’s only been less than a month, how could I have forgotten?!”
The employee still looked puzzled by the confident words of Manager Lee Young-ho..
“Manager, are you sure? If it's really E-level, how can you make 3 people fly, even with the skills? If you fly, you'll soon run out of mana and fall down.?”
“You need to find out that from now on. Don’t hesitate, use any means necessary to get rid of this guy’s identity! Other guilds are probably watching right now, so as quickly as possible.!”
“I'm working overtime today too..”
* * *
Meanwhile, the Baekho Guild was also having a hard time because of Suho..
“Vice President, other guilds keep asking for the identity of ‘that hunter’, what should I do??”
“Just tell me you don't know anything..”
“That's a bit... … It's ambiguous. Since his face is already widely known... … . I guess they're looking for each of the C-level hunters we've summoned in the Seoul area to see if they've seen his face..”
“……Try to hold on somehow. Just until we recruit him first..”
From earlier, Baek Mi-ho was holding on to her phone with a nervous expression..
But no matter how many times I tried to call Suho, he wouldn't answer..
-Are you sleeping by any chance? As you see this text…….
I already sent a text message, but no matter how long I waited, I never received a reply..
“I'm sure you didn't give me a strange number.?”
No, if that were the case, someone else would have gotten it too..
“Or maybe… … What blocked me?”
no, that can't be!
That didn't even make sense..
“okay. There’s no reason to block me, right? We even fought together as colleagues... … I even gave him a piggyback ride? Oh, wait! I'm sure President Lim Tae-gyu hasn't already taken him.?”
Baek Mi-ho's eyes trembled when she thought of Lim Tae-gyu..
If you were a colleague who fought together, Lim Tae-gyu was the same..
It was no exaggeration to say that the guild that had already lived was devastated by this incident, and was completely ruined financially..
Just the handling of the situation and the compensation to be paid to the casualties would have cost an astronomical amount of money..
‘But it won't really fail. President Lim Tae-gyu himself is an S-class hunter..’
A hunter's true power comes from force, not money..
Even if all the hunters in the Reaper Guild left, they could rise again as long as Lim Tae-gyu, an S-class hunter, was there..
Rebuild a guild or create a new guild.
In this situation, Lim Tae-gyu would never want to miss out on an outstanding talent named Seong Su-ho..
“……Vice President?”
The Baekho Guild's personnel manager was unfamiliar with the sight of Baek Miho muttering to herself with an anxious expression on her face..
“Was this hunter named Seong Su-ho such a great person? Even though the wing buff is rare, he is only a C-rank hunter.?”
“It's not just C grade.”
Baek Mi-ho said firmly.
“It doesn't matter if it's a hunter grade or a wing buff. Hunter Seong Su-ho…….”
Now other guilds didn't know anything.
The only reason they are interested in Suho is probably because of the wing buff..
Or it may be because he is the only recruitable hunter among the three who ended this disaster..
Since he cannot recruit Lim Tae-gyu or himself, the purpose is to bring in one other person and use it as a promotional effect for the guild..
But Baek Mi-ho was different..
I watched Suho's battle closer than anyone else..
At the scene of a fierce battle that makes the blood boil.
“he is… … Can't be taken away by anyone.”
* * *
[13 missed calls]
“What brought so many?”
After completing a difficult daily quest and barely escaping from the shadow dungeon, Suho checked his phone late and made a puzzled expression..
Half of them were the numbers of Baek Mi-ho and Lim Tae-gyu, who received business cards this time, and the other half were unknown numbers..
[Kehehe! How wonderful! Lord Sogun’s popularity is astounding.!]
“calm down. That's not neat.”
While Ber, with his arms outstretched, was spinning around and bursting into laughter with joy, Quay skillfully turned on the computer and showed Suho the internet news..
[Master, would you like to see this? It seems like the owner's face has been spread across various media this time..]
“hmm. That's right.”
The Internet was on fire because of the recent disaster committed by the Ministry of Immigration..
Of course, there has been a lot of news about Suho until now, but most of them were known as the Beast King Crow, thanks to Suho wearing a crow mask..
But this time things were very different..
As the famous Baek Mi-ho and Lim Tae-gyu were right next to him, Su-ho's face also became widely known..
Quay, who was watching Suho's reaction from the side, quickly knelt down and prayed..
[I have committed a mortal sin! I think you're having trouble dealing with what I did this time.!]
[Kieeeeek! Sinners, lift your head up! and die!]
Deng Geng.
Ver thought it was time to cut off Quay's head, but it quickly came back and Suho's mana was drained..
Quay didn't pay any attention to Ver and was only looking at Suho..
[I’m sorry, but… … Are you hiding your identity??]
“No, it's not really like that.?”
[Huh. Right now, Solord is quietly building up his strength. This is because there may be apostles from outer space working secretly on Earth..]
Ber next to me opened his mouth, his eyes flashing meaningfully..
[Even at this very moment, far away in space, our king is waging a fierce war with foreign powers. The opening of the gate on Earth was something they did to target our rear..]
Ver gave a comprehensive speech to newcomer Quay about the truth about what is happening behind the scenes in the world..
Quay nodded and took over from his senior with a serious expression..
He understood quickly because he had already instinctively realized the truth about the monarchs to some extent after being transformed by the queen bee..
[……Right. Then, are the flying insects that are currently wandering around here also apostles of the outer universe??]
[No, that's a real flying bug..]
[is it.]
In fact, there were beings that irritated Ver and Quay's senses from the moment they came out of the shadow dungeon..
Today, unfamiliar people were felt near Suho's house..
[Little Lord, there are some flying insects creeping outside my house..]
“hmm.”
Suho slowly opened the window and looked at the trends outside..
People with magical powers were watching from all over the alley..
A cool light passed through Suho’s eyes..
“Hunters..”
[Seeing how they are secretly wary of each other, they seem to be coming from different places..]
[Master, there are some faces I recognize. I guess they are scouts from guilds who came to recruit masters..]
“They found out my personal information so quickly.?”
Suho was a little surprised..
It's only been one day since the case was solved, but I never thought they'd already find out where I live and come visit me..
[Because that's what they do. Since his face is known, he's probably been scouring Hunter.net and association information all night long..]
Huh.
Just then, I heard the sound of the wind outside the window..
No matter how long we waited, Suho didn't come out of the house, so someone flew in a drone with a camera..
Then, the other side started to take out drones as if they couldn't lose..
It seemed like he was trying to check through the window to see if Suho was in the house..
“what the. Even drones?”
Suho frowned..
“Do hunters have no privacy at all??”
[Since the cataclysm, the whole world has tended to ignore minor laws in the name of a state of emergency..]
[Keek! A small person will take care of it right away.!]
“don't.”
Suho tugged on Ber's antennae as he tried to run out..
Ver made a loud noise while hanging on his hand..
[If you receive too much attention from the public, there is a risk that your existence will be exposed to unknown foreign apostles..]
“If there really are apostles of foreign media, I think they've all been exposed already. Besides, I just don't need it to be known that I'm the son of the Shadow Lord.?”
[Of course it is, but…….]
Of course, Suho had no intention of leaving them alone..
‘Ruler's Power.’
When Suho stretched out his hand, the invisible hand crushed all the drones that were flying this way out of the air..
Wagjak!
puff pop!
“What, what?!”
“suddenly what……!”
As their drones exploded one after another, bewilderment burst out from the mouths of the scouts hiding in the alley..
[Those flying insects are not the kind of people who will easily get away with this. Just show me once.]
It was then.
Ugh-
Suho’s cell phone vibrated..
“Who else… … hmm?”
Suho's eyes widened as he checked his phone with an annoyed expression..
[Uncle]
“Uncle?”
Suho's uncle.
So, I received a phone call from ‘Yoo Jin-ho’, the husband of my father’s only sister..
Yoo Jin-ho was a grateful adult who had been taking care of Su-ho ever since Su-ho's parents went missing..
“……I guess you saw the news.”
An embarrassed look appeared on Suho’s face..
I was already worried about how much of a fuss they would make..
