Chapter 915 – Guild Upon Request, Open for Business (2) (Part 3/Main Story Complete)

Hong Se-ra was dragged into the guild as if by Kang Eun-young’s hand.

It was Hong Sera who was eavesdropping little by little on the conversation of the female hunters who were talking in a strangely bright atmosphere.

“Did you take the promotion test last week? How was it? Did you see it well?”

“Based on the score, it seems like I passed, but… It seems like you don’t meet the CEO’s standards. Our CEO is a bit strict. If I make a mistake, I don’t give a monster a promotion based on skills that would kill me.”

“Well~. But apart from that, if the passing criterium meets international standards, shouldn’t it be passed?”

“That’s true. “I just looked at the CEO’s face and said I would give up on the promotion and take the exam again next time.”

“Uh, really? It’s such a waste. Still, it’s a promotion exam that happens once a year.”

“This is much better than hurting the CEO’s feelings for no reason. And since I gave up my promotion, the CEO gave me an ‘interview’ as compensation, so it doesn’t matter~”

“Oh, really?! For some reason, this girl has been smiling since last week!”

“And I have a regular interview next week as well~. Heehee~.”

Unlike a typical hunter guild, two female hunters happily chatting with each other in the lobby.

The girls who caught my eye weren’t the only ones with a particularly bright atmosphere. All the hunters that caught Hong Sera’s eyes had bright and happy expressions and were making friends in various ways.

“When is your meeting with the CEO? Hasn’t it been a month already?”

“Me? “It’s tomorrow, why?”

“It just worked out well. I’m tomorrow too, so let’s combine our meeting time. You said that it is okay to combine time when meeting like-minded people at the same time.”

“Oh, really? To be honest, 12 hours was a little short for me. Since you need a break after doing it anyway, you might be able to do more if you take turns…”

“You’re not going to stand up later, are you? “It’s just like this, hehe.”

Interview? What is an interview?

“… I will definitely win this interview, Mr. President. “I didn’t even masturbate for an entire month this month in order to somehow win.”

“You? “How can you do something that even S-class seniors can’t do?”

“Hey, can you really do this?! Somehow, I’ll win this time and say I’ll do it on top next time!”

“Isn’t it better and more convenient to have an interview while lying down? I actually like it because I feel like I am loved more that way. If not our CEO, when will a man work hard on top because he likes me?”

“… So I want to do more. “I feel like I’ll be happier after conquering that CEO.”

“You know the Azure Shield seniors, right? If you look at the fact that those seniors often have group interviews with the CEO, don’t you think it was easy to meet four people at a time in the first place? “I can never do it alone, right?”

“… I don’t know. I will do it.”

“Do whatever you want, indeed.”

Here, there, and elsewhere.

Although the stories each person shared were slightly different, most of the stories were strangely unified by one theme.

It was difficult for Hong Se-ra to understand this strange atmosphere, as the topic of meeting with the CEO, which would have been normal for an ordinary hunter to be a little reluctant, became the main topic among most hunters.

‘Being a representative… Are you talking about Seong Tae-kyung Hunter, the guild boss? ?’

I heard that she was popular among the hunters of her guild because she had a pretty good appearance and was young. … Still, I didn’t expect it to be this popular.

No matter how young he is, Hunter Seong Tae-kyung is probably in his mid-30s. However, no matter how you look at the hunters who are talking about the meeting with the CEO, most of them are in their early or mid-20s.

Of course, there was a popular belief that the longer you live as a hunter, the slower you age, so it was impossible for hunters to judge age by looking at face value, but there were several women at the same hunter training school who looked like they were 1 to 2 years his senior, so he was confident. His guess would not have been completely wrong.

‘No matter how young and handsome the guild leader is… Is it really that much fun to just get a face-to-face interview? ?’

She gave up on being promoted to a higher level, merged her time with someone else to lengthen her interview, and even said that she would beat the CEO in the interview for some unknown reason.

First, she was Hong Se-ra, who carefully guessed that the meaning of ‘interview’ would be very different from what she knew.

“What do you think?”

“Huh?! Yes?!”

“I’m asking what the guild atmosphere is like. Does it look good? Or do you not like it that much?”

“Uh, well, that’s…”

Hong Se-ra, embarrassed by Hunter Kang Eun-yeong’s words, carefully looked around the scene inside the guild.

A hunter guild with a bright, vibrant, and energetic image.

Hong Sera cautiously guessed that there was probably no hunter guild with a better atmosphere than this in the main lobby.

Usually, a monster guild is a place where the atmosphere is inevitably a bit saggy or depressing due to the purpose of the place.

The tired expressions of hunters returning after an arduous battle with monsters. The painful expressions distorted by the pain of the hunters who showed up with injuries from the expedition. … And, because the atmosphere of a typical adventurer’s guild is filled with the gloomy expressions of hunters returning after losing their friends and colleagues in the dungeon.

I heard that in guilds with well-established safety and rehabilitation provisions, this type of atmosphere is relatively rare. It is usually said that the temperature of the atmosphere felt in the basic lobby is in the order of 〉 foundation, 〉 company, and 〉 union.

However, Hong Se-ra, who visited the ‘Hope City Guild’ for the first time, was convinced that this guild had the best atmosphere among the guilds that had ever existed.

For some reason, I didn’t feel the fatigue from labor on the faces of the hunters belonging to this guild, and I didn’t feel that much pain from the hunters who occasionally came back after being injured in the dungeon.

And the most important thing was that the hunters of this guild did not feel any feelings of depression like when a colleague died.

‘They said the Hope City guild is a guild with a 0% death rate…’

In fact, the reason why many hunters somehow tried to join this ‘Guild of Hope’ was this ridiculous advantage of 0% mortality rate.

Even though promotions were extremely slow, and performance rewards were less than those of a company or foundation, reducing the possibility of death during a mission to 0% was of incomparable value to the hunter.

I don’t know how they manage the death rate to 0%, but… Anyway, looking at the bright atmosphere felt in this guild, it didn’t really feel like a fabricated story.

“It seems like a good guild… “I think.”

“Is that so?”

“B-but that makes it even weirder… Ah, no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think this is a guild that someone like me can join…”

“What kind of child is like you?”

“These are kids who passed their prime before they even officially debuted as hunters, and now only have awakening abilities that are at the level of an ordinary person…”

“Aha. If that’s the case, don’t worry. Our guild actually likes kids like you more than hunters who are active in the field.”

“… Yes?”

Hong Se-ra’s doubts increase as Hunter Kang Eun-young’s words become more and more incomprehensible.

As Hong Sera was sharing her story with Hunter Eunyoung Kang, a blonde woman naturally appeared.

“Hello, Eunyoung.”

“Good morning, Miss Sihee.”

‘Miss Sihee… ?’

No way. Do-kyung Group’s next CEO, Do-hee Do?

It was impossible to mistake them for being the same person because their appearance was so similar to what was seen in the media.

Long blonde hair down to her waist and emerald green eyes. And the sight of him carrying his main weapon, a large bow, on his back was clear to anyone who saw him as Do-kyung Group’s Do-shi-hee.

“Who is that person over there?”

“This is a recruit brought in by Miss Mina. “I brought her in because I felt sorry that she was loitering around in the guild because she couldn’t come in.”

“Hmm… It means that she is the person brought by Mina…”

Hong Se-ra feels embarrassed by Dosi-hee’s gaze as she looks around as if dismantling her own face and body.

She froze in front of the next head of a conglomerate, keeping her body upright and unable to protest, just accepting his gaze with her whole body.

“It’s okay at this level. At least there’s nothing that Seongcheol can’t do during his interview.”

“You haven’t decided to join the guild yet, so be careful what you say when it comes to interviews, Miss Sihee.”

“I heard Mina brought you here? It’s virtually confirmed that she will be an animal hunter. “If you want to be a hunter in the animal world for a long time, the only option is our guild, right?”

“Of course, that’s true, but it still doesn’t hurt to be just in case, right?”

… What are we talking about?

It was Hong Se-ra who could not quite understand what it meant that in order to continue working as an animal hunter for a long time, the only option was a guild.

Of course, she has the ‘Harpy Feather’, which is the ability to awaken the animal world, but why is that such an important topic?

… Also, what on earth does it mean to build something during the interview just mentioned, and who does the unidentified ‘Mr. Seongcheol’ mean?

In such confusion, Hong Se-ra was led by the hands of her two people and arrived in front of her representative office, and Kang Eun-young and Do-hee Hee left behind her in front of her door, filled with intimidation.

“Good luck with the interview, lady.”

“I’ll tell you in advance, Seongcheol… No, don’t fall for Taekyung too much.”

“Yes, yes…” .”

Leaving behind the two people who were still speaking incomprehensibly, she carefully opened the door to the representative office and entered, and what she found inside the room was Hunter Seong Tae-kyung, who looked as if she had known in advance that she would come. 〉

When Hong Se-ra entered her representative’s office and met her Seong Tae-kyung, the first emotion she felt was that he was ‘handsome.’

Her face itself wasn’t particularly handsome, it was closer to that of an ordinary man, but I could feel the aura she gave off that seemed to attract women.

Hong Se-ra blushed slightly as she looked at Seong Tae-kyung Hunter, who strangely caught her attention even though her recent estrous period had already passed.

“You’re Miss Hong Sera, right? “I was waiting.”

“Ah, yes, yes…”

“There’s nothing to be so nervous about. Would you like to come a little closer first?”

“Yes, yes…” .”

It’s dangerous.

The feeling in my heart was ringing an alarm, telling me that it was dangerous to be alone with a man like this in such a small space.

She obviously took anti-estrus drugs regularly, so why is she suddenly doing this? Hong Se-ra suppresses the lewd feelings that arise in her mind as much as possible and makes eye contact with Seong Tae-kyung, pretending like nothing has happened.

And while quietly watching her, Seong Tae-kyung ‘read’ something about her and came closer to her with a smile.

“I passed the interview, Ms. Hong Sera.”

“… Yes?”

“They say I passed the interview. “You can go to work starting tomorrow.”

“Things like poetry, skill tests, and awakening ability tests…”

“It’s okay because I already received the materials from the school. We all know that he stood out among students until his first year, but his ability to awaken suddenly weakened in his second year.”

“Ah, yes, yes… Well, then why are you saying I passed…”

“Well. Why do you think you will pass?”

“…”

I don’t know.

I’m not sure, but I hope you’ll stop coming closer.

This was the first time she had ever been alone in such a small space with a man who gave off such a strong male scent, so the current situation was extremely stimulating.

“Can we slowly tell you why Ms. Hong Se-ra passed the exam during an ‘interview’ first?”

“And the interview… This… ?”

“Yes. Hunters who join our guild must have an ‘interview’ with me at least once. If you wish after that, you can apply up to once a month.”

“How long does the interview take?” ?”

“It won’t take long. About 30 minutes?”

Seong Tae-kyung did not necessarily add the words ’30 minutes in real time.’

And, although I still don’t know what an interview is, Hong Se-ra thinks it’s worth listening to it first. Her red face nodded up and down cautiously.

“All right…”

“There’s a warp gate in the next room. “I will briefly move the interview to another location.”

“Yes, yes…” .”

So great was that interview that all the hunters in the lobby were talking about it. It was about 30 minutes later that she learned the truth.

After going through the ‘interview’ once, it was only natural that she, like other hunters, would apply for an ‘interview’ with her representative every month.

Just like that, it was the moment when another hunter was caught by the Hope City guild, which was still open for business today as usual.
