While several guilds were upset by Taejeong’s achievement of first place, Jenix, which he belongs to, was also in a state of emergency.

“A buff from the throne. How the hell did this happen? It’s just unbelievable.”

These were the words Yang Tae-shik, who was leading Jenix, spat while rubbing his chin.

At those words, one of his closest aides, Captain Lee Jeong-mo, opened his mouth.

“Guild members say that the stage level of the person who placed first is 127.”

“I heard it too. It is 127. haha. It’s a ghost to sing. 127. What do you think?”

“What do you mean?”

“The arena’s flurry went exactly to level 30. If the rules of the room had changed, wouldn’t that have gone up too? Because he is the person who has maintained the strongest position in that section for a long time.”

“bump. Does anyone have a straw?”

“Not at all. I can’t even guess. If you want to break the gale under the same conditions, you will have to spend tens of billions of dollars in equipment alone. The problem is that even if the conditions are met, it takes 3.5 minutes per room to go up to level 127. Here, the waiting time per stage is 10 minutes. Is this possible?”

Yang Tae-sik thought that such a job did not exist anywhere in the world.

I thought the same thing when I thought of the many hidden classes that fly and grow.

“It is so unrealistic to think like that. As the stage goes up, the difficulty will also go up, but the average is 3.5 minutes. Moreover, if it is 3-400 sections, there will be a limit of skill.”

“Who are you? I heard that the nickname has never been registered on our side. never… for a moment.”

Something flashed through his mind as he muttered with a serious expression.

“no way?”

“Yes?”

“No, no. I just thought of something else for a second.”

“ah. So first of all, are you sure you are a member of our guild, so let’s post a notice?”

“No, it’s not like that. Let’s cover this for now.”

“Yes?”

“I think it would be better to just cover it up.”

“ah. Okay. Then I will leave it as it is until you speak.”

“Oh yeah. Have you posted the professional?”

“I have urgently instructed all guild members to keep quiet.”

“okay. There is no need to get caught up in the issue. When you go down, make sure to keep your mouth shut again. If this becomes known, the media and guilds will all stick to it.”

“All right. Then I’ll leave, guild leader.”

After the escort commander left, Yang Tae-sik, sitting in a chair and thinking, recalled what had happened a few days ago.

Hunter who was recommended to join the club directly.

He had a class that Taeshik had never heard of.

“Did you say mechanic? Hopefully he… … .”

* * *

Taejeong, who finished a meal with Park Sae-ah’s delicacies, took a deep breath and went out to the living room.

Then he saw her watching TV.

“uh? Are you up already? Look at this here.”

At Park Se-ah’s words, Tae-jeong sat down on the sofa and asked.

“What is it?”

“Hey news, it’s crazy right now.”

At her fuss, Tae-jung’s eyes turned to the TV.

Then, a special Hunter special was being aired as an emergency program.

– Something really unbelievable happened today. We have invited Jeong Jong-dae, the former executive of Hansando and the current manager of the Hunter Academy. Hello, Chairman.

“Yes, nice to meet you.”

-There was a person who reached level 127 in Survival 3-400 today. Can this really happen?

“Yes. Actually, I have been a hunter for more than 30 years, but today’s case is so rare that it is not even reported in the academic world. There is a lot of talk about this overseas as well, but we figured it out… … .”

Taejeong, who was watching the news, was surprised and amazed at what she had done became an issue.

Is this something that deserves this much attention?

“Is that great?”

It was a question I asked toward Park Se-ah, who was watching with me.

“Absolutely. It’s something that has never happened in history. Do you know what is more surprising?”

“What is it?”

“That number one is from our guild.”

Tae-jung nodded at Park Se-ah’s words as if she was proud.

“okay? That’s good.”

“Why is your reaction like that? The first place in our guild came out. Guild, no, it’s the first time in history?”

“So. Incredible. That’s really great.”

“Anyway. I couldn’t tell you because he was sleeping, but this shouldn’t be known to the outside world, so you have to be extra careful with your words and actions. These are special instructions from the guild leader.”

“I have no one to meet.”

The news continued without knowing when it would end.

It wasn’t just broadcasting.

The internet community was also upside down, and various speculations were rampant.

-hey. x feet. Does step 127 make sense?

-Is it true that you got a flurry?

– No, shit. Is there a bug in this too? How did you do it? Did you do a real roommate?

-I did the calculations, but what doesn’t make sense is that you have to pay a 3-minute cut per room for that to come out. 3 minutes cut with 3-400 skills? Impossible.

-But doesn’t the nickname sound cool? x I built it roughly.

-What’s special, there’s even a fan cafe haha

“To the fan cafe? what is it really Did I become a star?”

In the midst of all the fuss over this, the next morning dawned.

He was just having a meal and having a cup of coffee when Manager Lee Tae-ho came to him.

“What’s the manager doing?”

“Is life worth living?”

“Thanks for taking care of me.”

“It’s nothing but a call from the guild leader.”

“Master? what happened to me… … .”

“That I don’t know either. I just wanted to bring him.”

“Then I’ll put some clothes on and go out.”

Taejeong, who changed into street clothes, left the dorm with Lee Taeho.

Taejeong, who was driving to the headquarters in a prepared car, had a rough guess as to why the guild leader had called her.

Maybe it was because I had something to ask about yesterday.

That would also be the case, even if it was delivered directly to Park Se-ah, Jenix’s survival performance was zero.

The fact that the throne buff came from such a guild meant that the first place was here, and if the range was 3-400, it was only natural that you would be a doubtful candidate.

‘What should I say? Should I just say it like it is?’

While Tae-jeong was lost in thought, Lee Tae-ho, who was driving, spoke to him.

“Did Taejung watch the news yesterday?”

“You mean survival?”

“yes. You see. Isn’t that a great thing indeed? It’s not enough to break through the 30th level of demons, it’s 127!”

“What… … .”

Tae-jung couldn’t help but feel embarrassed about praising herself with her own mouth.

He tried to answer with a vague ambiguity, but Lee Tae-ho glanced at him and continued.

“But maybe that… Aren’t you Taejeong?”

“Yes?”

“Actually, I thought about it all day yesterday. At first, I was in a daze because I wondered what this was going on, but as soon as I thought about who it was, Tae-jung came to mind.”

“Why do you want me… … .”

“There are only really outstanding hunters in that section. Not only the equipment, but the training system itself is different from ours. Wouldn’t there be only one answer to press them down? Class, that’s the hidden word.

Lee Tae-ho had a clear understanding of the situation.

No, in fact, there is nothing to think, sleep, or do.

Anyone who knew that Taejeong was Hidden would have no choice but to think of him.

“Just trying for a while… … .”

“Also. Well, that’s right. You are really great. This is what Hidden is. To crush all the top tier hunters with that high nose. It’s really reassuring, because someone like Taejeong came to our guild.”

“You’re welcome. By the way, I guess I’m the only hidden one, right?”

“Well. I heard that there was one in the early days of the guild, but there is no one now. From what I’ve heard, you’ve become part of the club, but I’m not sure.”

“okay. Then, how many people in the guild know about the existence of the club?”

“There are only a few, including the guild leader and me. More than that, how about Mr. Park Se-ah? Do you like it?”

“ah. I was a bit embarrassed at first, but since it’s a guild rule, there’s nothing particularly uncomfortable about it.”

“I’m glad. In fact, it is rare to find a secretary who combines beauty and intelligence at the same time. It’s probably hard to find such a beauty among our guild’s key executive secretaries.”

As Lee Tae-ho said, Park Se-ah’s appearance was beautiful enough to be called a beauty by anyone.

The problem is that Tae-jung is not interested in such things.

It might have been before his awakening, but now his interest was all about Hunter.

“By the way, I have a question for you.”

“Yes, please.”

“From what I’ve been together for a few days, almost all of the schedules are tailored to me. When does the secretary go hunting?”

“Hunting? What kind of hunting are you talking about… … .”

“Looking at it roughly, it seems like everyone is on duty while hunting… However, Park Se-ah was at home every day.”

“ah. You didn’t know yet. A secretary cannot go hunting. Because I am not an Awoken person.”

“Yes?”

“All guild secretaries are regular people, not hunters.”

“How can ordinary people do guild work… … .”

“We select only the family members of the guild, not the general public. After that, they receive training for several years at a training institution and are put into practice.”

“ah. Then you get paid like a regular company?”

“That’s not it either. Since there is already an Awakener in the family, the pay is formidable, so officially the secretary is unpaid.”

“Yes? So, do you really need a secretary? I don’t even get a salary, but if I’m just saying work is dying… … .”

Taejeong couldn’t understand.

It was because it did not make sense to him to work on his own without paying money.

“Instead, you are given an opportunity for awakening. There is a separate team in our guild that searches for the Awakening Stone. The stones gathered like that are stored in the first-class main warehouse. Since this stone is useless to hunters who have awakened once, it is returned to the guild member’s family, and the secretary is included in this selection process.”

“ah… Then it makes a little sense. Awakening… I didn’t even know such a system existed.”

“But not all secretaries are awakened. Since the number of stones is limited, even if the evaluation is not good in practice, the turn will be delayed. This is an expression of pride, but Park Se-ah is a very pitiful woman in a way. She was alone with her father when she came here, but her father died in an accident. It’s like that without the money saved up… This is a case where I had no choice but to become a secretary because I had nowhere to go. It was so nice to see the relationship between the two women… … .”

“I guess that happened.”

“Come to think of it, the life of a true hunter seems futile. You have to fight for your life anytime, anywhere. Oh, here you go. I have work, so I have to go back here. Do you remember there?”

“yes. Don’t worry and get to work.”

“Then, see you next time.”
