History's Strongest Manager

[97] The 2nd place that is crazy about inferiority is not at least 3rd place (2)

The regular evaluation site was a large facility outside of Seoul. They were equipped with simulated combat facilities to assess their team's capabilities, personal capability assessments, and medical facilities for psychiatric screening.

In the hospital, each person was tested, and later the team would get together and be certified. Kang Jun came to the hospital and helped his team complete the questionnaire.

“My brother must be tired, but you can rest in the car... ”

At Gina's words, Kang Jun tilted his head.

“Gina, I'm a hunter. ”

“Oh, right. ”

Gangjun was also a hunter, so he was going to be evaluated.

Freelance hunters like Gangjun could come and get assessed at any time once a year. Identity was managed by the country because it was a hunter who entered Korea, Gangjun Province.

There were quite a few other hunters at the hospital who came to get regular assessments.

“Well, in my case, I'm not competent, so I just take a simple test. It'll be over sooner than any of you. ”

Since it was B rank anyway, Kang Jun had no rank to go up to. Human Hunters are evaluated based on Hunting achievements in order to rank up. Unlike other talents, I was only rated by performance. Gangjun's Class B Hunter certification was not from Korea, but from Canada.

It was in accordance with international standards anyway, so if it was certified in other countries, it would work around the world.

Of course, the senior rank was just as powerful as it was, so it was difficult or difficult to authenticate there. It was literally a national embarrassment if someone with a S rank in Korea went abroad and exercised less power than A rank. Between those who sit in the lobby and wait for the call, someone appears.

There were four in black suits, and there were four that looked like hunters. He stared at them and fixed his face. Of course, the other hunters who were waiting were busy staring at them as soon as they saw them.

He couldn't hide his jealousy while looking at them. The other three didn't know what the Damascus team was and only listened to Kang Jun. Everyone was in uniform, except for those in suits. The outfit looked comfortable, but Kang Jun could see that the coat they were wearing was an armcoat.

On their shoulders was a Sword-shaped symbol, meaning Alpha-Shad. They sit in chairs, not caring at all about the surroundings, and the four men in suits start to talk and work.

‘This is Damascus team. ’

Are they coming for the exam? ’

‘You're here for the rank renewal. This is the only place you can authenticate. ’

‘Ha, I want to work with such support. ’

‘Arthur, they're spending more money than they make. They're dealing with and pushing bleeding from Alpha-Sod on purpose. ’

The hunters around them looked at them with a mixture of envy and jealousy, but the four Damascus team members seemed unfamiliar with it.

Because they had already made a reservation at Alpha-Sod itself, they headed straight for the inspection without any waiting time.

“Are you famous people? ”

The lead responded to a question of support.

“Alfasod is a rookie team that is pushed out in front of a huge company. Alpha-Sod has many hunters, but not many elite hunters raised by the company itself. They decided to put together a team of signage. He picked and picked them in the first place and only scratched the ones who could pry them out. ”

“I think I've heard of it. ”

At the end of the performance, I nodded.

The Damascus team has been a new team for about four months now, although the news is noisy and has not received much attention.

Since the goal of Alpha-Shad itself was to 'raise' Hunters, they were talented, but not yet at their own level. However, many speculated that they would take an A rank in a short period of time as they were fully supported.

“They say it's a 20-year contract. Well, even for me, if you put ten team managers like that on one of your primary care providers, equipment, crystals, lodging, cars, people, I'll sign a 200-year contract. ”

The support they received was enormous, as it was a team that decided to raise the losses. It also promoted Alpha-Shad's Hunter Benefits, and of course it showed its appearance. My skills are important, but I chose my appearance because it is publicly promoted. However, it did not mean that he lacked talent and skills, except in appearance.

Perhaps the team was also more likely to operate in a free hunting manner. Similar to Hero Management, there were many overlapping parts because they were all F ranks. Moreover, he was part of Alpha-Shad, so he was likely to encounter it.

Kang Jun muttered with a bitter smile.

“Inspiration…. I thought you gave us free hunting rights too easily. ”

“What?”

At Aran's question, Kang Jun shakes his head.

“No, it reminds me of someone who does something that looks deceptive... ”

Rookie team, created at similar levels and fully supported at similar times. It was too similar to the Hero Management team. Now I absorbed the performance and there was more than one, and it seemed like there were four members.

Kang Jun realized that he had given him free hunting rights and finally had his own calculations.

Seolwoojun acknowledges Kangjun's skills. I couldn't admit it, so I rated it very highly. That's why I gave him three free hunting privileges.

Seolwoojun wanted to compete with the Damascus team and the Hero Management team. Alpha-Shad has funding and tremendous support. Hero Management has no funding but has the highest standards.

I am confident that Kang Joon will be able to build a team similar to or greater than the Damascus team without money. Eventually, they wanted to compete with each other to give their own stimulation to the Damascus team.

In many ways it was a coincidence, but I had to dive into the non-Bourne competition with the Damascus team. In his own way, this was like a battle that Seol Woo-jun had fought.

You win, but you lose, but you don't lose. People were basically competitive, and they were just trying to use it. Seol Woo-jun was someone who knew how to do things efficiently.

“We can do our job well. Like always. ”

Everyone nodded at Kangjun's words.

The hunters in Damascus' passage are relatively wrinkled.

The freelance hunter, who came alone without management, was fixated on his cell phone.

“Seokwon Jung.”

“Yes.”

“What about management? ”

“No management found. ”

The nurse tilts her head at the man's call.

“Are you alone? ”

“Yes... ”

“If you're alone, you can come this way. ”

Somehow, the man who came alone collapsed along the nurse and disappeared into the hallway. Hunters without management were often intimidated even though it was not their own fault. Soon it was Hero Management's turn, and Kangjun's name was the first one to be called.

Kang Jun completed a short questionnaire, followed by a simple examination procedure such as blood sampling. Thereafter, I consulted with my counselor.

Since he had already reached the B rank at the top, Kang Jun was like being screened, not evaluated. The advice was simple. It was about being able to hunt, being in good shape, and experiencing mental or neurological problems.

By the end of the consultation, the doctor asked Kang Jun a routine question.

“Do you think there are areas that need to be improved in an institutional way right now? ”

“No.”

It doesn't fix anything. It was the same in every country.

“Since you have lived abroad for a long time, is there anything particularly uncomfortable about living in Korea? ”

“Nothing.”

The doctor nods.

“Good work. Kang Jun is a Class B Hunter, but an ordinary man. Please be mindful of your health and remember that safety and life come first. ”

Along with the greeting of the ritualistic counselor, Kang Jun left the counseling room. Whenever he was regularly evaluated, Kang Jun, a human hunter in particular, listened to him. After the consultation, Kang Jun went to the General Evaluation Center. I consulted with a specialist about the results of my blood sampling.

“Kang Jun Choi, 26 years old. Is that correct?"

“Yes.”

“You started hunting when you were 15. ever since I was very young. ”

“Sort of. ”

The counseling was over, but the specialist asked me that question. He looked at the chart and looked at Kang Jun Jun with a slightly serious face.

“Do you use strengthening system drugs often? ”

“Use it when you need it. ”

The doctor noticed something wrong with Kang Jun from his blood work.

“Your blood work showed very high ECP levels. ”

“Of course.”

Kang Jun nodded as if there was nothing new. Energy Cristal Poison (ECP) indicated a significant amount of energy crystal toxin in the blood was detected. At these regular check-ups, doctors were supposed to be dry.

However, if it was more than B grade, the medical staff would also be quite concerned. It was literally national talent. The doctor frowned slightly.

“It's not the time to say yes. Right now, your ECP readings are high enough for minor mutants or knights. They are immune to ECP, but humans die when exposed to more than a degree. ”

The doctor said as if warning Kangjun to remind him of the reality.

“Kang Joon, it's a miracle you're still alive. You should stop taking any more medication. Recommend retirement, if possible. ”

“You don't have to worry about that. ”

Kang Jun smiled at the doctor.

“Well, I'm retired. ”

The doctor's expression became a bit dull. It's been a while since I've actually been drugged and in combat, but I've never had to be drugged.

“Hmm, I'm glad to hear that. However, we strongly recommend that you do not administer any strengthening agents at all. The same is true of regeneration.”

“Yes.”

“This is both a recommendation and a warning as a doctor. ”

The doctor looked at Kangjun and said in a sinking tone.

“Kang Jun's last moment of ECP seizures in his body. We don't know which toxin of the three cores, ethel or cube will react. But accumulating a little bit more toxin is suicide. That's in a year or two. We don't know if it's going to be 10 years later. However... Kang Jun is not in a strange condition even if he dies tomorrow. ”

After hearing the sentence, Kang Jun's expression did not change at all. The doctor bit his lip slightly looking at that expression.

The doctor saw too many people living next to death. But at the same time, he was a doctor who could not pass him by carelessly.

“You look like you know everything. ”

“It's not even been a day or two. ”

“That look, that look, that attitude, that's not good. ”

Kang Jun sacrificed too much to survive as a normal human being. It also included the remaining lifespan of Gangjun. However, Kang Jun was never shaken by what the doctor said.

Kang Jun smiled at the doctor.

“I don't want to die. ”

It was like he really had no intention of dying. The doctor could not figure out what the sharp options were in this situation. The face of the person who was planting the time bomb in his body was completely invisible.

After the consultation with the specialist, Kang Jun completed the periodic evaluation completely. Before the team evaluation began, Kang Jun sat on a bench near the entrance to the hospital.

Kang Jun recalled what he had heard a long time ago.

‘Death is closer than I ever thought. ’

The person who said it said it in a more pleasant tone the next time.

‘However, if you look at it again, it's not that close. ’

The person who told me that Kang Jun would not last a month and fall away eventually became best friends with Kang Jun.

"So don't be afraid to live. Scared shitless. ’

After thinking about the conversation, Kangjun laughed because I didn't know. He taught Gangjun from the beginning to the end. That's what he always emphasized.

Don't be afraid.

You don't have to be afraid to die in a fight. Kang Jun fulfilled the words faithfully. I didn't hear from the doctor for a day or two anyway. Kang Jun was already well aware of that mechanically. So I didn't even get scared.
