I Became a Swordsmanship Instructor at the Academy

(89)

In order for an A-rank hunter to take the S-rank promotion test, several conditions must be met.

Although there are slight differences from country to country, the mana value of 5 million is basically the same, and other than that, various experiences such as the number of A-class portals cleared and the record of catching special monsters are required.

The evaluation is evaluated by portal attack like the A grade, but since there is no S grade portal, the evaluation is made by the A grade portal attack.

The screening takes place over a total of 3 days, and if you succeed in targeting one level A 4-person portal a day, you will pass.

In case of an emergency, one S-rank hunter and two A-rank judges will accompany you.

There is no help until the subject of the examination requests it or the main judge judges that it is an emergency situation, and if it helps, of course it will be eliminated.

As such, the conditions for screening are quite strict and the test is difficult, but there is actually a much faster way.

“go… Mr. Kang, aren’t you kidding? Are you serious?”

“There is no reason for me to joke with reporter Lim. Seriously. You go and apply and come back, so you are writing an article first.”

STB.

Stronger is The Best. It means that stronger is the best, and it is a system that recognizes you as an S-rank hunter if you fight an existing S-rank hunter and win.

Of course, the STB system can also be applied for from an A-rank hunter, and even an A-rank hunter requires some basic experience, but it is quite broad compared to the S-rank screening application criteria.

It is a system that has existed since the establishment of the World Hunter Association, but in fact, it is extremely rare to become an S-rank hunter using STB.

Even if it’s the same level, usually the one who reached it earlier is far ahead.

As long as the country is the same, you can point to any S-rank hunter, so if you have an S-rank hunter among your acquaintances or family, you can choose them, but there is no case of being overlooked or deliberately losing.

Even if you become an S-rank hunter through the STB system, if you think you’ve lost or deliberately lost, any S-rank hunter can apply for a duel within a month and you can’t avoid it.

It is a considerable insult to be singled out through this STB system for S-rank hunters who are proud of their rank in the first place.

It means ‘I’m an A-rank hunter, but I think I can beat a crap like you’.

Furthermore, if an S-rank hunter loses in an STB duel, he has to take the S-rank hunter test again to re-prove his skills, so the S-rank hunters have no choice but to do their best.

“Wait. Then who will you nominate?”

“This is Ares Guild Master Kim Dae-chan.”

“Hey, master Kim Dae-chan? Isn’t Shin-hyeok close with Se-jin?”

“Friendly. Not like a lover at all.”

“Then why… ?”

“The man behind my sniper article this morning is Kim Dae-chan.”

“Yes? No, why the hell?”

“You said you would come back and talk about the article. I’ll be back.”

I get up from my seat, leave the cafe, and head to the secretariat on the second floor of the association. It was the same when I entered the association earlier, but I can feel the eyes of the people so much that my back hurts.

When I arrived at the office, took a numbered ticket and waited, there were quite a few people.

“uh? Hey, isn’t that person Kang Shin-hyuk?”

“Right. There was an article about him running away from school. What were you thinking here?”

“Oh, Mr. Jung-mi is here. I’ve been following you since the first floor. I came out of the cafe on the first floor and came with a woman.”

“Woman? Isn’t that woman the mother of the kid in the article?”

“Anyway, having a good-looking face is useless. Do flattering guys always pay for themselves? How shameless to cross both legs… .”

“Hey, I can hear you.”

“What are you going to do when you hear it? You should feel ashamed.”

I tried not to be conscious of it, but as I kept hearing it, my fists tightened without even realizing it.

When I read the comments on the article earlier, it seemed that I was on my side… .

“Hunter 340?”

A female employee calls my number and goes to the window, but as soon as she sees my face, her expression hardens.

Apparently, this employee also saw the article.

“What business are you here for?”

His way of speaking is so stiff that he is said to be a robot.

“STB application documents, please.”

* * *

“Chief Kim, he said he didn’t go to school at all. Isn’t that information leaked?”

As planned, he ended up being completely trashed, but it’s a bit disappointing.

In order to embarrass the students at school, they even lied that they would provide additional information to the media, and deliberately asked them to write an article at a set time.

“It can’t be. In order to prevent our identity from being exposed, we sent all the data to the quick service, but we followed the quick service driver and confirmed that he went straight into the Despatch building without stopping anywhere.”

then… ah! Is Sejin the guy?

It seems so.

“Come to think of it, there is a place to put a straw. Well, it won’t matter much. Because that child will have a hard time living in Korea with his face upright now. Good work. After all, it’s Chief Kim.”

“no. over there, but… Director, I think the young lady must have been very shocked… .”

“What kind of a lady are you? No need to use honorifics. Because he’s a fool who fell in love with a man and ran out without listening to his father.”

He seemed completely unaware that Kang Shin-hyeok was dating another woman behind his back, but he was foolish.

“Are you sure you didn’t intend to bring it back? Director, what’s wrong with the lady? It’s the fault of that bastard who seduced an innocent girl by training from a young age.”

“Well, Chief Kim is right.”

Since he was young, he never rebelled and obeyed well, but Kang Shin-hyeok ruined him.

“How are you going to bring her back? I don’t think Kim Man-dong will let her go easily even if he pays the penalty.”

“No, man. Now I have a cause.”

“You mean justification?”

“Tsk tsk, didn’t you say that Sejin must have been greatly shocked by this incident? Other people will think the same way as you, so even Kim Man-dong won’t be able to help if he puts forward the cause of comforting and caring for Se-jin as a family.”

“Wow, I had no idea. Have you thought about all of this from the beginning?”

“Then it’s natural.”

“You are also the director.”

“Well, it goes like this… what?”

I told them not to let anyone in, but the door suddenly opened and Secretary Park entered.

“Sir, it’s a big deal.”

“What big deal? Since I’m definitely Chief Kim, I have something urgent to tell you, so I told no one to come in.”

“I’m really sorry about that part, but it’s really urgent… Look at this.”

What the hell is going on, making a fuss like this, Won… .

I received the phone, thinking that if it was not a big deal, I would cut it off.

When I returned to the cafe after completing the application, Eunji was typing hard.

“Are you still writing articles?”

“No, have you already applied?”

“It didn’t take long.”

The documents could be complicated, so I was going to apply first without giving an explanation, but the documents were not that complicated than I thought.

Rather, it seems that it took the employee longer to find the form than to fill out the form.

“I posted the breaking news first… Wait a minute, I’m almost done.”

There are a lot of people who glance at us both outside and inside the cafe, but it’s strange that we don’t pay attention at all.

“Okay, done. I just uploaded it. Would you like to see it?”

“If you’ve already uploaded it, wouldn’t it be meaningless for me to see it?”

“Ah, since you said you already applied, I was in a hurry… sorry.”

“it’s okay. Eunji must have written it well. Now, an explanation of the article that came up this morning… .”

“Mr. Kang, can we move the story to a different location? His eyes were stinging me from earlier, but I was holding back because I was afraid that I might lose the player… .”

“ah… Yes, it is.”

I left the association and moved to a nearby cafe and explained one by one.

It didn’t take too long as I had breakfast and organized my thoughts in advance.

Because everything isn’t true in the first place.

“Hey, Mr. Kang, there’s a bit of trouble in what you said… .”

“Which part is it?”

“It takes a bit for the house to be so luxurious. I know you helped out of pure kindness, but letting me live in a residential-commercial complex worth over 2 billion won… .”

“Are you saying it’s not over? I didn’t give it to you for free, I just let you live temporarily… .”

“The rental income was not small. If you look at it with common sense, it’s strange that they buy an expensive residential complex in Gangnam and let you live there for free, even though it’s not close to where you lived before. I don’t think the public will understand… Oh, did you originally have a residential-commercial complex?”

“no. The purchase of the residential-commercial complex was in mid-February, as stated in the article.”

It’s me, it’s the safest place later, so I bought it, so I didn’t think of it at all, but I’m a reporter, so I’m sharp.

“I heard that Dohyeon’s mother is quite beautiful, please tell me honestly. Are you sure you don’t have any heart?”

“Not really. It’s not like I’ll let them live for a thousand years, and later, when Dohyeon graduates, they’ll stand on their own. It’s because I think it would be more convenient to buy it close to my building since I might be able to buy it later. If it goes up a lot, I might sell it.”

“I know what you mean, but some people will think that writing an article like that is an excuse.”

Eunji seems to be a bit dubious… .

oh wow, i can’t help it

“Not really. I didn’t want to say it because I thought it would be too unlucky for me to say such a thing… Aren’t I pretty good?”

“Yes? what is that… .”

“A rank hunter at 26… No, if I win at STB, I’ll soon become an S-Rank Hunter. I have a good job and only 50% of it is removed, but I have a building worth almost 100 billion won in Gangnam, and honestly, my face is pretty… .”

Common sense doesn’t allow me to live in a house worth more than 2 billion won for free, but common sense doesn’t allow me to meet Do-hyeon’s mother.

“I understand what you mean, so you can stop talking. Do you want to talk about how proud Shin Hyuk misses meeting a widow with two children?”

“hahahaha… . The expression is a little extreme, but I think you understand the meaning correctly. Please write it in the article as it is.”

“Are you serious? If you publish what you just said as an article, there will be no more people holding on to it, but the good image you’ve built up so far will be dealt a lot of damage… . Right now, Shin Hyuk-ssi is very unlucky… Oh, sorry.”

“It will be better than now. I’m not going to do politics later, and I’m not such a nice person in the first place. Ah, I would like to refine the expression of a widow with two children.”

“Even in this situation, seeing that you take care of others first, you are a kind person. I don’t think I’ll be criticized for purifying my expression, but I get it.”

“thank you. Oh, and I have one more thing to ask of you. Please remove from this article the part about Kim Dae-chan being behind this incident and Se-jin’s proposal to me about winning the WHCU.”

“Why? According to Shin Hyuk’s story, it’s 100% certain that Kim Dae-chan is behind it.”

“There is no evidence. Although I accepted the offer, I did not write a separate contract, and Kim Dae-chan would not have revealed his identity when reporting to Despatch.”

“Even if there is no evidence, there are witnesses. If you call Sejin… Ah, no matter how much I did, there is a possibility that he will not cooperate because he is my father. Are you thinking of burying it?”

“no. If you were going to bury it, I wouldn’t have told the reporter at all, right?”

“then… .”

I made a promise the day before yesterday when I hung up on the phone with Sejin.

Now I really want to see the end of this disgusting evil.

“Of course I will reveal it. In the most perfect time, perfect place, and perfect situation that Kim Dae-chan can never seize.”
