Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 82
“Dae, Mr. Representative…….”
Yoo Jin-ho was glaring at himself with fierce eyes..
When the name of the guild he belonged to was even clearly mentioned from his mouth, Lee Young-ho's complexion became increasingly pale..
“Even in times like these, the law is supposed to be followed, right? As with this Shinigami Guild incident, I guess hunters these days live above the law..”
“Well, it can’t be! Absolutely not, Mr.!”
“If not that, then what is? Is this only the Hyeonmu guild? Where did you spy with the drone??”
“That, that…….”
It was Manager Lee Young-ho who couldn't find anywhere to focus his eyes..
This was because it was he who personally placed the drone in the hands of his subordinate this morning..
Drones these days have really good performance..
Not to mention the ultra-high resolution wide-angle camera and recording function, flight capabilities and controls have also improved tremendously..
Now, if I were to make up my mind and zoom in, I could even find a single hair that had fallen in every corner of the house, even beyond the window..
With such good performance, it was natural that laws and regulations for privacy protection were tightly structured..
But things have changed a lot since the cataclysm..
Even in the current immigration crisis, weren't there countless broadcasting station drones floating all over the sky for live broadcasting?.
When a situation such as a dungeon break, similar to a natural disaster, occurred, hunters did not hesitate to use drones or whatever else they could to hunt the demonic beasts..
However, even in this world, it was not acceptable to break into the homes of ordinary citizens without permission..
“Manager Lee Young-ho, it seems that Hyunmu Guild is not a good fit for our company. I guess you can leave now and not wait for us to contact you..”
“omg. CEO! Please reconsider that……!”
“You know ten when you see one. When our game is released later, if the image of the Hyeonmu Guild deteriorates even a little, it will likely have a big impact on sales..”
“……!”
Manager Lee Young-ho, who was on the verge of having all his hard work come to nothing overnight, hastily lowered his head with a look on his face as if he had been sentenced to death..
“Wow, CEO! I will apologize on your behalf. It was my mistake to mismanage my load. I think the desire to recruit a good talent like Hunter Seong Su-ho was too much. Instead, I will take responsibility and set Hunter Seong Su-ho's conditions at the highest level in the industry, or even higher.!”
When he even mentioned Suho's name, Jinho Yoo's eyes turned to Suho next to him..
“Suho, they say you have the best conditions in the industry. Do you have any conditions from other guilds??”
But that wasn't the question in the first place.
Before Suho could respond, Jinho Yu continued speaking..
“Whatever it is, don't sign a contract. Regardless of whether he is the best in the industry or not, I just can't see Suho being sold for that kind of money. I'd rather have this uncle open a guild..”
“yes? Hunter guild?”
Suho looked puzzled at the unexpected suggestion..
“okay. Now that companies are growing professional baseball teams and soccer teams, why can't they create a hunter guild??”
Yoo Jin-ho was sincere..
Although it was an impromptu remark, it was also one of the items that had already been brought up during the planning department meeting..
The moment he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the Hunters of the Hyeonmu Guild standing behind him..
“Are you still here??”
His expression became cold again as if it had been like that for some time..
“Mr. Representative, please reconsider once again.…….”
Manager Lee Young-ho clings earnestly with the feeling of holding on to the last rope..
But Yoo Jin-ho's decision wasn't just because they were bothering Su-ho for personal reasons..
“I'm sure you've heard my explanation by now. This means that the Nahon Level game is such an important business..”
thorough business.
“This means that there shouldn't be any noise to the hunters that appear in the game. In that sense, the behavior of the Hyeonmu Guild is a bit precarious. Just go back now.”
“…….”
It feels like a cold rain is flying and hitting my chest..
Manager Lee Young-ho realized that no words were making sense anymore..
All he can do is trudge out of Ajinsoft with the hunters he brought with him..
And today, all he had to do was figure out how to kill the subordinate he had sent to Suho's house..
* * *
Yoo Jin-ho brought Su-ho into the representative office..
“Yes, our Suho. Now that the intruders are gone, let’s take it easy and hear what’s going on.?”
The secretary brought coffee in front of the two as they sat facing each other..
“How's the hunter thing going? It's very difficult?”
“It's okay to do it.”
“It's worth it, boy. When I watched the news, it seemed like I was living too dangerously. You say your grade is C-grade, but why are you putting so much effort into it by being stuck between S-grade and A-grade?.”
Despite Suho's resolute answer, Yoo Jin-ho clicked his tongue and looked at Suho with pitiful eyes..
To Yoo Jin-ho… … Suho's presence was a kind of sore finger.
Seong Su-ho, a child whom Yoo Jin-ho had seen since he was young, was an extraordinary child who grew up with a good character under a strict father and a caring mother..
I wonder if he never rebelled or got into trouble during his teenage years..
Of course, that father was the strictest man in the world..
His job was as a police officer, and he was a legend about a violent crime detective who beat up all those scary gangsters with force..
‘But how did it happen like this…….’
Looking at Suho's face, which looks so much like his father, made Yoo Jinho particularly lose his appetite..
few years ago.
Suddenly, misfortune came to Suho's life, which had grown up well and without any shortcomings..
disappearance of parents.
At first, no one could accept that fact..
They were a couple who were so close that they sometimes went on impromptu trips..
But one day passes, two days pass.
Weeks went by and they didn't come back..
From then on, Yoo Jin-ho started looking for them, using all his connections and money..
But no matter how much I searched, I couldn't find a single trace of them..
Afterwards, Yoo Jin-ho decided to take responsibility for Su-ho on his behalf, and in fact, it was he who recognized Su-ho's talent for painting and had him take the art school entrance exam..
‘I didn't know that I would go to Korea University, but.’
Is it because I was so immersed in the picture?.
Or is it because the world was soon struck by a catastrophe even more outrageous than the disappearance of my parents?.
Fortunately, Suho did not harbor any bad thoughts and grew up properly..
“How is your aunt??”
“Huh. your aunt…….”
Yoo Jin-ho, who was lost in his thoughts, couldn't help but be taken aback by Su-ho's sudden question..
“……Well, you're still busy looking for your parents..”
“ah.”
Suho’s expression hardened at those words..
In fact, it was natural.
They were Suho's parents, but Suho's aunt Seong Jin-ah also had her older brother and his wife go missing..
An immediate family member went missing overnight, but Seong Jin-ah was not the one who would just wait quietly..
At first, there were times when they only trusted the police and waited, but these days, they even hired detective agencies and hunters to search the whole world..
“Umm.”
But what is this??
The topic of parents came up, and Yoo Jin-ho's eyes widened when he noticed that Su-ho's reaction was a little different from usual..
“What is that expression? Did you find out anything?!”
“Oh no. It's not like that. hmm… … . I thought it would be a good idea to focus more on looking for your mother rather than your father..”
“……Sister-in-law more than brother?”
“yes. I guess I don't have to worry too much about my father, no matter where he is..”
“That's right. From the beginning, we were looking for the possibility that the two of you went missing separately, so don't worry too much. These days, I'm keeping track of the possibility of getting caught in a dungeon break..”
“Dungeon Break?”
“okay. Of course, he disappeared before the cataclysm, but surprisingly, experts say that gates may have been opening intermittently on Earth even before the cataclysm. We're looking into that as well, so don't worry too much..”
At this point, Suho couldn’t help but nod his head..
‘Aside from my father, there is a very high probability that my mother got caught up in a dungeon and went missing..’
Suho recalled something he once heard from Ber..
‘Come to think of it, my mother said she knew my father's identity from the beginning. In addition, she said that people who once awakened in the forgotten timeline are still hunters today..’
Awakening was ultimately the realm of talent..
This means that if a person's ability to adapt to magical power is high, he or she will eventually awaken, no matter when the time comes..
‘And since your mother said she used to be an S-class hunter, she must have regained her powers eventually..’
And the S-class hunter was able to survive no matter where he fell alone on Earth..
But it's different if it's not Earth..
‘In the end, we have to investigate the dimensional gap..’
widely.
“Anyway, Suho..”
As if trying to brighten up the increasingly dark atmosphere, Yoo Jin-ho put his coffee cup down loudly on the table and spoke directly to Su-ho..
“What I said earlier was sincere. I'll start a guild, so don't bother joining a strict guild..”
“yes? Uncle, I didn’t just say that out of anger.?”
“I was a little angry, but we were already planning to grow a hunter guild at our company..”
Yoo Jin-ho took out a folder and held it out in front of Su-ho..
[Hunter Guild New Project Plan]
“Do you see this? It's a plan that hasn't even taken its first step yet, but since we're talking about it, I have to tell you to start right away..”
“Oh, it was real..”
The business plan was heavy, as if it had been prepared in great detail..
“Of course, because your level is low, I cannot appoint you as the guild leader, but instead, I will assign senior hunters who can be of help to you..”
From the expression on Yoo Jin-ho's face as he triumphantly showed the folder, the thought, 'Isn't it good to take care of a rich uncle?'.
But then.
suddenly!
[I don't need those guys..]
“……!”
Suddenly, Ber burst out from Suho's shadow and glared at Yoo Jinho..
[Because the Solord has me.]
“This, this……!”
When Yoo Jin-ho saw Ber, his eyes widened and he jumped up from his seat..
Ber's eyes narrowed at that violent reaction..
[You, I can't believe I remember…….]
“Hahaha! Suho, you!”
[Umm?]
Yoo Jin-ho pointed to Ber's appearance and burst into laughter at Su-ho..
“You were always drawing pictures of ants, and eventually you developed the skill to summon ants! Hahaha!”
[……You just drew a picture of an ant?!]
This time, Ber opened his eyes wide and looked back at Suho violently..
Then it came crashing down.!
He clung to Suho's head and began to shed tears of joy..
[Solord-! Have you missed Soin so much all this time?!]
“No, whatever. Let’s say this is also an instinct engraved in the subconscious.…….”
Isn’t this a similar principle to unconsciously making a game or drawing a picture of an ant?.
Feeling embarrassed for no reason, Suho forcibly removed Ber and pushed him back into the shadows..
