King of Shadows

111.

Arriving at the Hunter Management Headquarters not far from the Jay Hour Tower, Sihyun and Lynn saw a large number of people moving around. Armed with various dresses and armor, they were modern hunters.

Their objectives for fighting disasters that have appeared five years ago were diverse. to avenge the loss of a family, to eradicate a catastrophe called hetero, or to make money. Hunters combined with pure desires and ideals were also a job that many dreamed of once.

"Are you sure you want to go in?"

"We came all this way, but we can't just leave, right?"

Sihyun has been determined to become a hunter for a long time. It was the same in nature as the winner-take-all ability, and the characteristics of the ability to regress in the past. Winning dictates stronger opponents, and regrets have been hiding in the shadows of winning dictatorships.

Not to mention the need to assign save points periodically. Technically, his past was still at a standstill when he dealt with the Unsullied. If you die without setting up a regression point, you may have to break the Palatica again.

From his point of view, there was no reason to periodically earn money and not choose a job that met the conditions of winning and regression. I could have gone back to college with the support of the government, but I didn't think about it. There was no foolishness in college life that I had tasted in my previous life.

"You don't have to follow me to the end. The professor also said it was relatively convenient to use the morning time to acquire a hunter's license. You can wait here if you don't want to."

"No, you won't get a Hunter's License if you don't actually work together. The couple are one-sided."

Lynn fueled her will. Sihyun grabs her hand and enters the Hunter Management HQ. The 29th floor of the Hunter Management HQ building shows the end of modern civilization.

Everything was computerized through a monitor inside the building. Accessible enough to see everywhere The hunters around him were confirming such information through their smartphones.

Sihyun looked at the first floor of the Hunter Management Headquarters and thought that the interior was similar to a bank window. Of course, it was much more open than a bank window. It was because it was broad, and there seemed to be a few people who were able to chat without hesitation with the hunters.

Liberality and order were creating a strange atmosphere.

"You look a little higher than I expected, Lynn."

"That's how much Legion has spread. And just because you're thinking big doesn't mean you're strong, right? Strength can change depending on the characteristics of the stigma or the superiority of the region."

"Yes, but I'm surprised it's more than I imagined."

After stepping foot inside the Hunter Management HQ, Sihyun and Lynn marveled at the unfamiliar flow of the world for five years, but did not forget the purpose of their visit. Their goal is to become hunters. That's all. Sihyun and Lynn find their contact and hope to become hunters quickly.

The representative began to explain with a kind smile. Maybe it's because I say it dozens of times a day. In his mouth, words came out about obtaining an obscene certificate.

"To become a hunter, you have to take practical and written exams. Ah, don't be so nervous if it's a test. The practical exam is mainly a physical aptitude test, and a handwritten exam can pass with basic common sense. Scores are awarded 100 points for both handwriting and writing. In addition, you can get a Hunter's License for a total of 140 points combined with their test results."

Instead of being able to obtain a qualification without any special knowledge or outstanding ability, he reflectively nodded his head when he heard the representative say that the qualification should be upgraded with diligent behavior and constant efforts. In other words, the value of the certificate was the same as the value of the certificate itself. It was possible as a profession that could explain everything with skill.

If you pick up a pamphlet nearby without listening closely, it's a good story to know, but it's even more helpful to listen to practitioners. Sihyun consistently confronted the Hangout Manager.

"Oh, you don't deserve to learn?"

"Yes, unfortunately, the academy for hunters is still unofficial. because we've only just got a job as hunters. It's run by a little guild-organization founded by hunters. Well, that was enough so far. There are rumors that the Academy will be completed within the year, but details are unknown."

"Then it's also important to choose which guild you want to join in the first place."

"Of course. We can't keep up with small battles forever." because the income is infinitely lower than the high-risk ones. If you want to target a heterotopia called Goldfish Land, you'll have to go to a large guild. "

A guild where hunters gather for each other's benefit. Since there were similar types of organizations in Grandeliol, Sihyun could easily imagine what the guild would look like.

Sihyun, the granddaughter of the big vote, came to his mind and wept. Lindsey said she has skills that enter the top 100 in Korea. It's because I thought it would be a good idea for her to join the guild. Lin quickly opened her mouth, looking at her face as if she was thinking of another woman.

"What makes you think that?"

"No, I've been thinking about the guild for a while."

"Then why don't you start a guild at all? A universal guild! Se-hyun is in charge of everything. And spread your status around the world."

It was not Shi Hyun who responded to the nonsense, but the person who heard her.

"... Ladies, I'm sorry to say, but creating a guild requires at least 5 people. Single guilds are not legally permitted. Even if that were the case in the first place, heterotopia could never strike alone. A place that needs the help of other hunters. I'm telling you because you think too little of it."

"That's what I'm saying. Anything is important to celebrate. Are you sure you want to do that?"

Lin handed over her manager's advice with a faint smile as she didn't intend to take it seriously. Sihyun and Lin both heard the contact's explanation and signed the paperwork.

"The cost to enter is 80,000 won each."

After the interview with the officer, Shi Hyun and Lin climbed to the final gate to become hunters. Practical and handwritten exams. Naturally, both types of tests did not pose much of a barrier to them. It was just a bothersome procedure.

"Looks like Lynn isn't there yet."

After completing the test faster than Lynn, she sits in a corner of the hallway where numerous hunters go and go. The results of the test were in the next hour.

It was easy to become a hunter. But it was also a natural thing to think about. Skilled hunters were a useful resource in this country. Hunters were the ones with the ability to deploy to the field-field immediately, even without special training.

When he sowed the seed-certificates, he knew that he would grow up to become a big supporter-hunter and couldn't be sanctioned. It was a natural order for the acceptance line to get lower and lower to qualify. As the number of winners increases, so will the number of future hunters.

Hyun, who thought it was more like a certificate than a certificate, saw Lin's face walking with a dull expression.

"What's that look on your face?"

"It was easy to write, but hard to write! There were so many questions that I didn't know how to answer from a human point of view."

"By the way, Lynn, you were a pioneer."

He was also a pure outlaw who spent several years in the wild-grandeliols. The pioneer's characteristic-weakening ceremony-would have had a difficult range of common sense for Lynn to remain. But I couldn't help it. If we can't even solve common sense problems in middle school, the hunter is not a problem, but everyday life is a problem.

"... I can't help thinking about it. If you fail the exam, just study with me all day. It means less socialization. I'll give you a thorough sense of humankind because I don't know when or where it's going to crash."

"No. It's good to come down, but I don't want to come into your head."

Rin shakes her head and screams desperately. When everyone around him turned to himself, he glanced at Lin, hiding his slightly red face.

"Enough of this nonsense. People are staring."

Sihyun pulls Lin's cheek to the left and to the right. Rin shakes her head as if she were opposed to it. So, I realized that the results of the test had been published.

When she saw the results presented through her smartphone, she looked at Lynn with a satisfactory smile.

"Did you pass?"

"Of course. What do you see me as? The fact that the handwriting exam was difficult was all my concern to empower you!"

Lynn naturally pushed her smartphone forward. There was a close score of 142. It was absurd to say that she had low scores on her practical exam, with the right thinking and physical ability for the pioneer. It was reasonable to see it as at least 90 points or more.

The remaining 52 points were not different from what the handwriting test said. It was always a conjecture, but I was able to confirm it.

"You're dumber than I thought."

"Idiot! What are you talking about? It's just a little clumsy. I can't. Shi-hyun will show you. I need to see if you're qualified to say that to me."

Rin snorted roughly and took her smartphone. And when I saw the scores on the screen, I kept my mouth shut. 198. She loses her words to the nearest perfect score.

"How's that? Is that what you deserve?"

"You tried. You're doing pretty well. Oh, come on. Let's go get a license."

Lin grabs Se-hyun's arm and walks in front of the officer. She pretended not to win, and followed her actions.

"Here's your certificate."

It was only a matter of time before the Hunter's license was issued. He looked down at a piece of plastic the size of his hand. There was a 12-digit number engraved on it.

The combination of the numbers was also a 'unique number of hunters', indicating a demonstration. This key allows you to view the hunter's history and history at once. Shi Hyun, who thought it was like a credit card or debit card, put the hunter's license in his wallet without any emotion.

"Let's go, Si-hyun. We should enjoy a proper date right now."

"It's been a date so far?"

"So what have you been thinking?"

Seeing Lin with her eyes raised like an axe, she shakes her head as if she couldn't win. He was about to be sad, too.

"No, let's say that. Dining out won't be so bad after all."

I left early in the morning, but the sun was setting. I looked up at the red sky outside the window, and I could feel his surroundings buzzing. A sudden change caused the demonstration to circle around. And he did not hesitate to look away, realizing that the people around him were looking at one place.

There were 30 people walking there. Despite their uniforms, they moved forward with a step that was not unified.
