History's Strongest Manager

“W-we 're serious? Lie... Isn't this a lie, too? ”

“I don't like playing with people's lives. ”

The weight of the words was hard to fathom. Murder is not so unfamiliar in the hunters' world, especially to hunters traveling abroad, and not domestic. Somehow, Seo-young nodded.

“Ah, ah... Okay, I'm sorry. ”

“Well, this is also somewhat a lie. ”

“Yes?”

Seeing Kang Jun who said it was true, then said it was a lie again, Seo-young frowned.

“Awakenings use Ethel absorption to boost their strength, right? Perhaps if you absorb a substantial amount of Ethel, you can prolong your lifespan. ”

“How much?”

“Hmm…. ”

Kang Jun showed five fingers without hesitation.

“You have to absorb 500 billion won. ”

The power used by the Avatar Talents was very expensive, and recovery from that consumption was not an easy task. Therefore, what Kang Jun said was in some sense a lie and not a lie. It was such a huge sum that it was hard to even say that there were 5 billion. Seoyoung forcefully laughed to change the atmosphere.

“Well, well... We have some good things to do. Do you want to go to a party? I don't have anything to do today anyway. What do you think?”

“I'd love to. ”

Kang Jun smiled, and Seo-young woke up the Song Team Leader who had fallen off.

“Song Team Leader, the banquet is ours. ”

“Well…. Yeah, well, is your company over? ”

“I don't have any work anyway, let's take the day off. ”

“Then I'll go home. ”

After going to work, the head of the Treasury team, who had been sleeping the whole time, picked up his bag and got up.

“What's the rush? ”

“I bought a PS4.”

“Ah…. Yes..."

Seo-young nodded, and the Song team leader popped out of the burinake company. Kang Jun looked away from the Song Team Leader and tilted his head.

“Well…. The atmosphere of the company is free. ”

“Ha, ha…. Haha. Well, the head of the Song team is a must-have for our company. ”

Seoyoung did not tell me about the role of Song Team Leader, but Kang Jun did not intend to ask.

“What can I get you? ”

“I like Hanwoo. ”

“American is.... ”

“It's a good day. And you said you had a lot of money. ”

“Well, yes! I'm in the mood! Ha, let's eat! ”

Somehow, Seo-young who was tired of being a representative but somehow I felt like it was getting eaten by Kang Jun. The two of them ate Hanwoo that day and drank adequately according to Seoyoung's suggestion to drink. At that point, he had a few glasses, but he was very happy that a new hunter had come in with a excited look.

“I, I.... I still know a lot of people and a lot of connections... I just didn't have anything to use.... Previously, there were only thirty Hunters... Seocho-gu, Hanam and Uijeongbu were all in our area... ”

“Jules, are you crying? ”

“Oh no…. No one's crying! It's a good day. Thanks to Kang Joon, I feel something will go well in the future. I've never really heard of a new manager asking for Hunter in my life... “

“I'll bring a lot more in the future. ”

At least two more people were needed to form a Hunter team, so Kang Jun was going to try to save them somehow. Seoyoung laughed nonsense at Kangjun's words, but I had a hunch that he would do anything for this strange new employee.

Hero Management did not even know that something truly extraordinary had happened. However, because Kang Jun was not a fool, Seoyoung's network would also become his own infrastructure later on. There were so many things I needed to know about legal advice, technology, accounting, and currency conversion in the workshop to start a business. Heading to the bare ground was a waste of money.

They talked for a long time and baked meat, and the place that they started when the sun was rising in the sky continued until it took place on the other side of the building. Seo-young drank well and wasn't too hard on him.

“Hmm, but I've never heard of Avatar Talent before. ”

“Rare Awakeners, though. ”

“Have you ever known anyone like that? ”

“…… Yes. ”

“He then…. Oh, sorry. M-maybe I'm a little drunk... ”

As soon as I asked, Kang Jun's face became stiff, so Seo-young asked and shut up. Kang Jun shrugged his shoulders as if he was apologizing for something.

“Don't be silly. I know about Gina because I know people who died that way. ”

Kangjun was still remembering what happened in the Arctic Territory, a horrible memory he didn't want to think about again. Just a minute ago, hell itself saw a colleague who was an ally suddenly go crazy, scratching his surroundings, exploding his superpowers everywhere, and tearing his colleague apart.

“Avatar Talents are dangerous. Even if it's not just us, we need people to control it, and I'm probably the best person to know about it. ”

Awakenings caused a flood if they did not control their abilities or emotions properly, which was both deadly and dangerous. Especially when Avatar, the most powerful ability, ran wild, the disaster was beyond imagination. Seoyoung had a hunch that Kangjun's peer Avatar Awakening had caused a flood.

“If it makes you drunk.... What are we gonna do? “

It was not an excuse, but a matter to be aware of as the Hero Management representative who received such a hunter as a member. Gangjun said as if it wasn't a big deal.

“It's hard to get rid of the body, so you have to kill the defenseless body. ”

In the case of the avatar's runoff, that was the best way. Of course, we have to assume that the Avatar Awakener didn't gain any real power before.... Kang Jun took a drink without saying anything, and Seoulyoung could feel the momentary emotion that had passed in Kang Jun's face. Kang Jun noticed Seo-young's eyes and laughed.

“I guess I'm a little drunk. ”

I felt like I had been drinking for a long time, but it was clear to me for a moment. I didn't know who the Avatar was or what it was like.

However,

He assumed that it was Kang Joon who killed the body of the Avatar. Kang Jun returned to his original face and was eating meat with a slightly subtle smile. Seoyoung felt confused that Kang Jun was a person with a more complicated story than she thought.

But for now, that wasn't the case. It's been a long time since a new hunter has been in Hero Management, and now it's time to celebrate. Seo-young poured liquor into Kangjun's cup.

“Shall we have a drink? ”

“Too much is not good. ”

“What are we doing? We're closing down tomorrow! ”

“You're not motivated.... ”

“I'm the best motivated person right now. ”

However, Kang Jun clashed with Snow Young's cup.

I was still looking for a last-minute successor, so I was on hold until I got my Hunter's license and started working properly. Above all, it was the biggest change that Seoyoung, who was unwilling to do anything, came to life.

The head of the Treasury team was doing a great job of being a paratrooper. I mostly slept through the night at work, whether I was playing games. Nevertheless, he did not give any bruising. Perhaps there was some sort of secret, but Kang Jun didn't really want to know about it.

Whether it was because of the new Hunter, Seoyoung was motivated and actively moved around the production workshop. Having connections was not a lie, and Seo-young was busy making phone calls.

“Oh, hey, boss. Oh, it's Seo-young. Yeah, yeah, uh, I've been looking for a Awakener lately. Trying to get Hunter's team back together. Well, it's time to cheer up. A very capable new hire had a real accident. I mean, is this a dream? Oh, dear. Don't joke... Ah, ah? Ji, is this a dream? ”

Seo-young called around without knowing whether he was chatting or selling, and soon she screamed.

“Yes, yes?! Are you sure? Wow, thank you! I'll never forget it! ”

Then, after hanging up the phone, he ran to Gangjun, and saw Visain with bright eyes. Rather than being the head of a company in my late thirties, I just looked like a sister who was charming to my brother.

“Kang Jun! I did it! ”

“Is there something good going on? ”

“I contacted the Workshop Representative named Hyunwol and he gave me a second-hand Ethel device for free in order to say good luck! Three armor coats should do the trick! Basically, it's charging, so it should do the trick! ”

The Ethel device was an item that used Ethel from the monster in the dungeon.

The dungeon monsters were usually strangely strong enough to defend themselves, and beyond that, the generalizers didn't work at all. The white crystal Ethel, which can be obtained by dismantling the dungeon monsters, emitted a powerful energy, which exerted a particularly strong power on the dungeon monsters as well as most alien creatures. From the most basic ethel sods, Sphere, Bow, Needle, Cloe, Blaster, etc. were also very different.

It was a necessity for hunters, especially human hunters and knights.

Among other things, armor was more important than weapons in terms of providing protection.

Ethel Weapon was a yawn of yawns, but one of the sword devices exceeded one million won, and some usable weapons lightly exceeded ten million won.

Among the energy crystals, armor coats with rare cubes were more expensive. In the case of yawning, there were over three hundred.

Both, in the case of commodities, they were precious items that could not be bought without money. So Seo-young sat down and suddenly saw the profit of taking 10 million won lightly. However, Kang Jun looked at Snow Young with a fat expression.

“Huh? What's on my face? ”

“Jules, do you know the guy at the workshop this month? ”

“Well…. We had a deal in the past. Of course we haven't been able to get in touch with them. ”

“That, I don't think, is a good idea for me. ”

“Why?”

Kang Jun did not know the corners of the management industry. But just like everyone else, I've lived with a few big principles carved into my bones. Kang Jun calmly said to Seo-young who was a little stunned.

“There must be a reason for goodwill without a reason. ”

“Are you saying you're up to something? ”

“Well, I don't know what you're up to... ”

Kang Jun tilted his head while sipping coffee.

“Once the equipment comes, I'll check it out. ”

Since Gangjun is a veteran hunter, Hunter equipment has handled almost all kinds, and nothing has ever been cheaper to the best. So from basic equipment inspection and disassembly and assembly to basic repairs.

The equipment was delivered two days later, and the shipping cost had already been paid for. The box had a total of 3 sets, and Kang Jun tore the box and scattered the contents in front of Seong-young.

It contained three Ethelsod bags and three old armor coats.

“Hmm.”

“Why? Is there a problem? ”

“No, it's too clean. ”

Although it was old enough to have washed and serviced, three sets of equipment were dusted clean. I thought that if I lost my commodity, I would have packed it somehow, but it was in better condition than I thought. Of course, it was not surprising that it was neat as it was for gifting to other companies.

“Let's get to the roof. ”

“Yes.”

They took their gear and headed to the roof of the building. A few people were smoking on the roof of a small building, and suddenly a man and a woman came up and stared at me.

“Stand back for a second. ”

“Oh, yes. ”

Gangjun was activated by grabbing the knife sack of Etelsod.

- Ziing!

A white examination rises, and Kangjun swings Ethelsod sideways. His bold actions made him look white.

“W-what are you doing! Be careful!"

Ethelsod is not only effective for monsters, but also deadly for things. Literally Ethelsod is like a ray sword, and when it touches it, it chops off its nuggets. Of course, it was not just a lump of plasma, but the sensation that struck it could clearly be felt as the effects of Ethel materialized.

Others were furious as a madman swung Ethelsod around the roof and went inside the building. It was only Snow and Gangjun on the roof now.

A weapon that has surpassed many times in many ways, but hasn't changed since it was the best weapon to fight monsters. Even the finest swords of this era were nothing more than a dull lump of iron compared to the finest of Ethelsod.

Kang Jun boldly touched Ethelsod's sword, looked at the shape of the blade sack, and then activated it and threw it on the roof. Seoyoung asked with a nervous expression.

“What do you think?”

“First of all, basic performance is so good that it's hard to call the hottest. ”

“Oh! That's great! ”

“Let's just turn it on until we run out of charge. ”

“Yes? What's the big deal? ”

The Ethel device charged and used Ethel, which was no longer available when the charge ran out. Of course, Ethel was expensive, and the Ethel device was as costly as it was used. In other words, Seo-young was surprised because it was the sound of starting up until she ran out of gas. Moreover, the price difference between gasoline and ethel was so unreasonable.

Kang Jun did so, whether he doubted it or not, and this time he tested the armour coat. The armor field was activated after wearing and a blue coating film appeared around the gangplank. The armored coats were also heavily guarded, but activating the armored field creates a blue field around the wearer, protecting the wearer from the threats around them.

An armor coat made from cubes that can only be obtained in subspace was primarily used to craft defense gear.

“It doesn't seem to have a cooling function... Jules, throw me something heavy. ”

“Heavy? ”

“Yes, with all my might. ”

It was the bricks used in the newsblock that Seoyoung people came for.

“… wh-why is it in the building? ”

“The last time I worked on a rooftop gardening. Shall I throw it?”

Kang Jun thought for a moment about whether he should trust this old armcoat and nodded his head firmly.

“Throw it hard? ”

“Yes, with all my strength. ”

“Yes... Yippee, yippee! ”

Snow threw a brick with all her might, and the direction it was facing was in front of Kangjun's face. And then...

“! ”

Kang Jun saw the light blue field fade out in front of him.

It was a very short time. At this rate, you could get hit in the face with a brick and die if you were severely injured in the lowest severity. But Gangjun was a veteran hunter.

- Sprinkler!

He swiftly pulls out the waist dance Ethelsod and smashes the brick with his sword. The brick explodes like a balloon, terrified to be hit by Ethelsod. When Seo-young saw Gangjun, she opened her mouth and clapped.

It wasn't just anyone who could hit the flying brick with a sword.

“Awesome... ”

“Huff, huff... Huff..."

Kang Jun was so embarrassed that he breathed heavily.
