Civil Servant Hunter’s S-class Resignation Log - Chapter 50

Chapter 50

—This is from the Korea Awakened Management Association. A Dungeon Break has occurred in the hotel, so please evacuate according to the association’s guidance. Currently, an S-class Hunter is guarding the gate, so don’t worry and evacuate in order. We will inform you again.

Jarim listened to Seora’s voice that echoed throughout the hotel.

Even now, her mana must be drained, but the vigorous voice didn’t show that. Instead, there was a strong will that said there was nothing to worry about because she was guarding their backs.

“An S-class Hunter. I suppose you’re right. Seora is the one blocking the gate right now.”

Jarim looked at the pulsating red space.

Despite the tremendous firestorm, the cube did not move even a single point, even though the temperature was so hot that the monsters that came out of the gate turned into ashes before they could hit the cube.

It’s an incredible sight, but Seora’s burden is too heavy.

“A kid who was F-class not long ago.”

“I don’t want to be identified. I don’t want a life of sacrifice. My safety and peace are of the utmost importance.” She murmured that like a habit, but didn’t she run without hesitation?

So Jarim had no choice but to keep an eye on Seora. Because I don’t want to see the tragedy in Baskar repeated here.

‘The good news is that the administrator greatly takes care of Seora.’

In Baskar, the administrator treats the contractor as if he were their agent to do things for them because the administrator can’t directly engage with the world.

But the administrator here seems to have no intention of doing so They just watch over Seora so that she can live freely as she wants to.

So maybe it’ll be fine.

“Oh, you guys are escaping surprisingly well, aren’t you? Usually, people will be busy running away in a panic.”

When she looked down at the building, the citizens were calmly evacuated under the guidance of the association officials.

How did you deal with this in the first place? Now that I think about it, I can’t remember my life in Baskar 100 years ago.

Jarim quickly gave up on remembering. Perhaps this is a belief in Song Hanna, who has complete control of the association.

“To protect that belief, I must protect this place well.”

Seora’s skill, which was solid, has been shaking little by little since earlier. It won’t last long.

Power entered the hand holding the weapon. All she had to do was hang in there until backup arrived. Recalling that, Jamin took a position.

Soon, the cracked red cube shattered, and the stagnant flames burst into the air.

The immense heat swept from the front as if to ripen the skin, but Jarim quickly swung her two-bladed dreadful blades without turning her head.

Kaaang! Kang! Gwadukh! The feeling of her weapon cleaving hard was transmitted. Jarim opened her eyes wide. She got goosebumps. The familiar sensation she had felt thousands and tens of thousands of times climbed on her hands.

[Ore monsters appear. ‘Title—Battlefield Slayer’ is triggered. Temporarily increases physical abilities!]

Battlefield Slayer—This title was earned by annihilating countless ore-type creatures on the ore-covered planet Baskar.

It lodged in Jarim’s body, emitting a reddish gold color. Vitality sprang up from all over her body, and her breathing was open. Like a living creature that had been in the water and finally came to the ground, Jarim exhaled heavily.

“I don’t think we need any aid.”

100 years is longer than expected. To the extent that cutting hard ore like tofu is the easiest thing in the world.

Jarim swung her weapon at the monsters coming out of the gate. The monsters made of hard ore material were shattered by a movement that was too light.

Jarim’s golden eyes radiated a red glow from among the rising powder.

***

‘The skill is broken.’

Seora, who was evacuating citizens with the association officials, pressed her chest.

The shock of the skill being forcibly broken as her mana was exhausted caused a moment of shudder in the stomach. The pain did not subside quickly, even after drinking a healing potion.

‘It might be hard for Big Sis Jarim to hold on alone. Did Director Do go to the rooftop right away?’

I couldn’t even get in touch because I feared it would interfere with the battle.

“I’ve got to go.”

After ensuring that all the citizens had left the hotel lobby, she sneaked into the elevator.

“Administrator, what about Big Sis Jarim? Is she all right? Is she not hurt anywhere? Has Director Do arrived?”

Pressing down on her nervousness, the administrator answered replied.

[Administrator: ꒪⌓꒪… … .]

“…”

What? That’s the emoticon Liza uses when they see something shocking.

“What? What’s wrong? Is she doing something weird?”

[Administrator: ↑(꒪⌓꒪)↑]

“You want me to go up first?”

Then does that mean the situation is dangerous? I’ve got to reach the top floor quickly.

She hadn’t noticed it when she was on the first floor, but the hotel shook slightly with the sound of something breaking. Seora pulled out her gun again and ran towards the roof.

Even if she wasn’t hurt, she must have tried too hard to prevent the monsters from escaping. I’ll check to see if Do Junyoung is here, and if not, I’ll join her immediately.

The moment Seora made up her mind to stick her head out the door.

“Hukk!”

As if waiting, a huge mass flew in front of her. Her terrified body reacted reflexively.

“How dare you fly to my face!”

What flew in with an incredible roar from the light colt broke into pieces. Looking at the falling pieces of stone, it seemed like an ore monster.

“Oh, I should’ve taken it easy. It would be a waste if there were an expensive mana stone…”

Seora, who jumped into the roof to avoid the pieces that had fallen at her feet, stopped talking.

How should I describe this scene?

‘… A grave?’

Monsters that were smashed to the point where their shape couldn’t be recognized were scattered all over the place.

In the center of the grave piled up with the corpses of monsters, Sung Jarim was running wild with a weapon in her arms.

The appearance of a dog with a single screw missing was nowhere to be seen. A reddish glare radiated from her golden eyes. Slicing, killing, slicing, slicing, and killing monsters coming out of the gate. She was just repeating splitting and killing.

Like someone born just for this.

Seora now realized why the administrator had such a face.

‘She’s out of her mind. Did she remember the days of Baskar again?’

Thanks to that, the monsters are not escaping from here but scrambling back through the gate. Is this really okay?

[Administrator: ☞(;¬_¬)☞]

“Yes? What’s there?”

Seora, looking at Jarim with confused eyes, turned her head in the direction the administrator was pointing without thinking.

And there was silence.

“…”

“…”

Wait, wait. No, wait. Hold on a second. Wait!

‘Lizariza-ssi, please tell me that I’m seeing things. Please! Tell me I’m seeing nonsense!’

[Administrator: (;¬_¬)]

But her contractor eventually turned away. Seora’s lips began to tremble.

… they’re saying I’m seeing things right.

“… Director Do.”

She called the name she didn’t really want to call.

“Yoon Seora…?”

Do Junyoung’s face, staring blankly at her, was shocked. Seora closed her eyes tightly.

Shit. He must have seen me shooting and killing monsters with the gun. I’m screwed. I’m genuinely, completely ruined!

“The gun…”

As Do Junyoung’s gaze turned to her right hand, Seora reflexively hid the Colt in her hand behind her back.

“Uh, when did you come…?”

This would not have happened if you had sent a single text that you’d arrived!

“It hasn’t been long. I was going to join immediately, but Hunter Jarim tried to attack me too, so I’m just watching.”

No wonder. He’s so good at restricting his power that nobody would’ve noticed it.

“I guess Sung Jarim recognized you as an enemy because you’re a strong player. Her hands tend to move reflexively if there’s a strong person.”

“… It sounds like Yoon Seora has experienced that threat directly. I take it that’s true?”

This isn’t a good topic either!

She could not make eye contact with Do Junyoung and avoided his gaze.

No, I didn’t mean to hide it, blah blah blah blah…

When Seora worked her mind to find a way to overcome this difficulty…

[The Boss Monster of Level 4 dungeon ‘Thorn Island’ appears!]

Thud! Thud! At the sound of footsteps loud enough to shake the building, Do Junyoung and Seora’s eyes went straight to the gate.

A giant monster with ores all over its body slowly appeared. Unlike the others, it was a Boss Monster with thick, sharp thorns all over its body.

“I feel something ominous.”

How can something with thorns all over its body be simple? Not to mention the name of the dungeon is Thorn Island.

There must be some secret in those thorns…

“I got it right!”

There was no time to think any further. At the same time as the Boss Monster inflated its body, the attached thorns were ejected everywhere.

Why is my ominous feeling never wrong!?

“Director Do! Take charge of that side! I’ll get this one!”

There’s no reason to take care of it yourself when you’ve already been caught. Better than letting the city falls apart.

Seora shed tears of blood and raked up all her remaining mana to develop a field. The thorns that had spread in all directions were locked in the area designated as cubes, and she fired her gun to turn them into powder.

Do Junyoung also fired a sword into the air, and Seora shot the few thorns that escaped.

In the meantime, Sung Jarim had been working on the Boss Monster. When Seora saw her driving the monster into a corner and trampling it, she felt pity for the boss mob that appeared with such momentum.

“Well, why did you show up at this hotel at this time of night?”

Where’s karma?

“You’ve got a new skill.”

“You’ve got skill.”

Seora’s shoulders trembled at the low voice when she clicked her tongue.

“You’re good at using guns.”

“…”

“Your movement has become much more flexible than it used to be.”

How can you hit the nail on the head with everything you say?

“Uh… Uh… It just happened.”

Seora slowly avoided his gaze.
