Chapter 198 – Promotion Party (5)

“Maybe Taekyung can change a little depending on what you do.”

Immediately after asking her older sister, Eun-young, about the possibility of her job change, her reply was neither positive nor negative, but rather meaningful.

It seemed like it contained a lot of meaning to understand at once, so I asked Eun-yeong noona about what you said.

“It depends on what I do?”

“First of all, the company basically never acknowledges records of activities in the union. No matter how much he claimed to be active, there is no way to actually confirm it.”

“Yes?”

“Isn’t that a matter of course? There’s no way the company will recognize the experience you’ve built up in an organization that doesn’t properly manage identity, like a union. I accepted it casually, knowing what would happen later.”

Eun-young noona spoke calmly, as if she was saying something very natural, and then drank a glass of soju that was placed in front of her eyes.

“But in reality, there are a steady stream of cases of people moving from unions to companies, right? As long as there is a letter of recommendation, it is possible to transfer while maintaining the grade in most cases.”

“I knew that too.”

“Yes, it is. Because of that, I think you all misunderstood that you could move from an organization to a company while maintaining your career with a letter of recommendation, but the reality is a little different.”

“A little different?”

Eun-yeong, who emptied another glass without saying anything, asked, referring to Seo Ok-hee, the guild leader of Eun and Ok Co., Ltd.

“Do you know what color history Seo Ok-hee, the current owner of the company, has, and what kind of power she is dealing with?”

“It is green. If it’s the power the boss handles, first of all, he has the ability to use telekinesis and electricity…”

“Regional development that cuts off internal and external interference, the Akashic Record that stores the information of all the monsters she has defeated, and immortality… Was it?”

To a question that any hunter could answer, Hyeeun and I answered it without much hesitation.

Eun-young noona naturally made an expression as if she knew that such an answer would come.

“Okay. It’s so famous that everyone knows about it.”

Because she is currently the only Hunter in Korea who can handle the five awakening abilities.

In fact, even before Seo Ok-hee, halfway awakening abilities that were not melee or magical were often treated as traps. For she is tricky to use in hand-to-hand combat.

Seo Ok-hee was a newcomer like a supernova who appeared to refute it head-on.

She was a person who could be called a living legend if she still wanted to.

Even if Eun-young’s sister didn’t have her career cut off, she would probably receive a similar evaluation to Seo Ok-hee now.

“For reference, there are several other abilities that Ok-hee can handle besides the abilities known to the public. I can’t answer this because it’s Ok-hee’s privacy.”

“Five are already known, how many more are there?”

“… I will never fight against the boss again.”

“Still, I have to explain to you guys, so if I have to tell you one thing, Ok-hee also has the insight ability to see through the development potential of Hunters.”

“Insight?”

“Yes, Insight.”

After answering that, Eun-young noona emptied her drinking glass in front of her eyes again and explained how Ok-hee Seo was using her ‘insight’.

“Of course, they say they have insight, but they don’t use it when hiring hunters for the company. When recruiting company employees starting at D-class, we only hire hunters who have passed the set rules in bulk.”

“I’m surprised to see that. Why does the boss have an insight, but don’t use it to recruit employees? You want to hide your abilities?”

“Rather than that, you probably don’t bother using it because it gets in the way of increasing the size of the company itself. If we use the ability called insight to hide and accept hunters, who will train hunters targeting the company?”

“Yes, Taekyung was right.”

Wouldn’t it be a small guild that needs to reduce the number of employees to a minimum? In large guilds, using insight to cover and hire people, the size of the organization was only reduced.

As long as the rules are met, it would be better to hire all of them and not talk behind the scenes. Preliminary hunters aiming for the company will not have to be confused by the unpredictable employment regulations.

“So even Okhee rarely uses her awakening ability called insight when hiring hunters belonging to her, but in just one case, she uses it to hire hunters.”

“That means it’s time to recognize Hunters who are moving from another organization to the company.”

“Yes, it is. Unlike simple employment, it doesn’t matter if the standards are a bit jagged.”

After she finished her words, Eun-young’s glass was emptied once more, and immediately filled with the next contents.

Certainly, the most efficient way to use insight as a guild leader is to use the ability only for the transfer screening, which is not leaked to the outside world.

Wait, then, after all, what is a letter of recommendation used for?

“… Then, is the letter of recommendation written by a Hunter from the company to a Hunter who is leaving a job meaningless?”

It was a story that I carefully asked, thinking that the letter of recommendation Han Min-ah had written so hard might be meaninglessly thrown away, but luckily, Eun-young noona shook her head and answered as if that wasn’t the case.

“If there is no way to use the letter of recommendation, why not? That is the most essential factor for Taekyung to keep your rank and change jobs.”

“Yes?”

“Ok-hee doesn’t even meet hunters who change jobs without a letter of recommendation. Consistently, she’s only newly recruited as a D-Class Hunter. Conversely, if there is a letter of recommendation, there will be an opportunity to interview Ok-hee at least once, and there she will be recognized for her abilities through Ok-hee’s insight.”

“… Okay.”

“Of course, even if that is the case, it’s better to assume that there are no cases where the rating is higher than before the job change. Especially if it’s a job change from the union to the company, you should be grateful that Taekyung is maintaining the grade B you received.”

“That’s fine. I am fully aware of that.”

As long as the goal was to leave the job while maintaining even a B grade, I wasn’t stupid enough to complain about it.

“The problem is, Tae-kyung, all of your careers in the union are pseudonyms…”

“…”

“…”

“This is my older sister… Ajumma will try to do something, so think about it that way for now.”

“Is that word…”

“It means that the lady will guarantee that Seong Tae-kyung, a hunter who is going through the transfer process to the company, is Kim Seong-cheol, a B-class hunter who worked in the union.”

Guaranteed by Kang Eun-young, an S-rank hunter.

Although it was said that it had not been long since he returned to active duty, it certainly did not mean that the light of that meaning was fading.

On top of that, Eunyoung noona had a close personal relationship with Seo Okhee, the president of the company, so naturally, her persuasive power would be much higher than that of other S-class hunters.

Recognizing her meaning at once, I immediately bowed my head to her as a token of her gratitude.

“Thank you, sister!”

“… It’s not yet confirmed that you’ll be properly guaranteed, so don’t get excited. No matter how much the aunt Tae-kyung claims you are the Guild Hunter Kim Seong-chul, it means nothing if Ok-hee says she won’t meet her.”

“Even the fact that Eunyoung noona said she would vouch for my identity is enough to thank me.”

“… It’s not that Taekyung will do it because you’re particularly pretty. She liked the ability and grit she showed during her training not too long ago, so she also became curious about how far Taekyung could grow.”

“But you didn’t directly confirm the contents of my activities in the union and said that you would believe me, right? That’s it, what.”

“… Yes, what If you think so, think so.”

Maybe it was because she was a bit embarrassed by my words, Eun-yeong noona avoided her gaze and emptied the contents of the glass in front of her.

… Come to think of it, you’ve been emptying several cups by yourself since earlier.

When she came to her senses, she had already emptied one bottle by herself and saw Eun-yeong opening the next one. .

“Wait, Mom! How many cups are you secretly drinking by yourself?!”

“… Well, how is it? So, do you leave this precious thing behind?”

“It’s because I’ve been drinking too much alone since before. Taekyung and I have only had one drink, but does it make sense that she is already opening her second bottle?!”

“… You can’t help but feel her throat burning because you’ve been talking a lot for a long time, can’t you?”

“Then just drink some water! Give me that drink!”

“I hate it! It’s been a while, but you can drink this much~!”

In addition, Hye-eun is worried about Eun-young’s sister Eun-young due to her alcoholism, and Eun-young’s sister doesn’t want to let go of her chance to drink after a long time.

As I watched two people who looked exactly alike arguing about how much alcohol to drink, this question suddenly popped into my head.

“… By the way, Eunyoung noona.”

“Now, wait a minute, Hyeeun! Taekyung has something to ask!”

“…”

At Eun-young’s older sister’s words, Hye-eun looked at me and stopped her scramble for a drink.

Taking advantage of the moment when the two women calmed down, I relayed the question that came to my mind to Eun-yeong noona.

“Come to think of it, you said earlier that it definitely depends on ‘what I do’.”

“Yeah, it was.”

“But after hearing the story, it seems that I had nothing to do.”

It has already been achieved to become a B-class hunter based on the combination.

It was a situation where Min-ah agreed to give me a letter of recommendation for a job interview with Seo Ok-hee, and Eun-young noona to guarantee that I was Kim Seong-cheol.

It was a question I brought up because I felt that there was nothing I could do in this situation, but when I saw the answer from Eun-young noona who returned, it seemed that it was not the case.

“What do you mean. Didn’t you explain that she would have an interview with Ok-hee when she obviously moved on?”

“Yes, it was.”

“You don’t really think that the interview will end with a face-to-face conversation, no matter how much insight Ok-hee can use, right?”

“…”

Eun-yeong noona, who checked my expression as I was contemplating what answer to give, gave a brief explanation of her job interview with a light smile.

“You’d better be prepared, son.”

“…”

“Because Ok-hee tends to be more merciless towards promising prospects who show signs of development.”

It was only a day ago that I became a B-class hunter for half a year.

It was a night that suddenly reminded me of the word mountain beyond the mountain.
