Chapter 55

“…Are you alright?”

Kim Sae-Jin carefully asked But with a dark and clouded expression, Yu-Rin sihed out

“This here is what the Raven Knights Order is considering as its proposal”

She handed him a bound copy of a report

“Oh, ah… thanks”

Sae-Jin received the report and then took a quick glance at the contents

Even though this was already his 5th interview today, in all honesty, ht now didn’t want to enter his brain at all The printed words were small, there were lots of nulish words thrown in there, too…

Without a doubt, it was a typical report drawn up by civil servants working in the governhts Order

‘I really need dedicated employees for this…’

He again reaffirfor it

“Mm”

He closed the report while trying to look as if he had understood most of the contents within However, Kie She sighed out, not caring whether anyone could hear her or not, and then weakly muttered out in a disappointed voice

“…You didn’t even read that properly…”

“Eh? No, no, that’s not correct I have read it thoroughly”

Now feeling a bout of guilt, Sae-Jin hurriedly waved his hands in denial, but that only made Yu-Rin’s eyes to droop down even more in sadness

“…Mister Kim Sae-Jin”

“Y, yes?”

As if she had sohtly However, the words she wanted to say didn’t co over theShe shook her head and then tried to speak in a cheerful voice

“I’d like to thank you for the gifts you gave me”

What she ed to utter out didn’t suit the current situation at all

That caused Sae-Jin to be flustered momentarily, but he tried to sound as unperturbed as humanly possible

“Ah… Yes, it was my pleasure”

“That… the Athany doll you gave ht?”

“Eh? Ah… yes, that’s correct Their effects do differ, but the doll I gave to you is just as good an item as the others”

“As I thought Whenever I go to bed, I have it nearwas special about it As you said, it helps me to calm my mind, and… somehow, it’s become a close friend I can’t do without now”

“Ahaha… Well, that’s a relief to hear”

And soon, the conversation that started with the discussion of private matters slowly led into the official business However, their talk frequently got cut off for some reason and felt rather aard and unnatural

Yu-Rin deliberately tried to sound cheerful, but… she actually had a rather tiht unchecked e in her mind

And not to forget, less than tenmentally assaulted by the countless number of enemies, so it was not possible for her to maintain a ‘normal’ state of mind

“…”

In the end, their conversation ca

As he had been a listener-only until now, Sae-Jin truly had no clue how to take the lead in a

h the poor pages of the report

[1 hour, 30 minutes]

While he was doing that, suddenly the alertfor ‘ti’ brushed past his consciousness When he looked at Yu-Rin, she didn’t see particular to say So, Sae-Jin carefully asked her

“How about we end thehere?”

“…Uh? Ah…”

Yu-Rin’s face becaaze dropped to the floor Well, the truth was that, this o If one considered how other Knights Orders spend 20, 30 nificant difference

“Instead, how about I treat you to another s I’d like to discuss with you, after all”

Sae-Jin quickly s the dark complexion on her face

“Eh? Oh Sounds good I happen to have next week Saturday free, so…”

“Then it’s settled The same restaurant as the last time?”

“…Yes That’s fine”

“Great”

Sae-Jin reached out with his hand, and Yu-Rin shook it while carrying a slightly confused smile

But then, thinking that she must convince him with this new opportunity, her face hardened as she shook his hand with added strength

Nowadays, Ki the day’s lunch tih a ton of piled up work And precisely after four hours of doing that, he’d leave the office of the Society and head towards the Monster field to focus on his growth

And always, while in the hunting area, he assumed the Orc Form – the Demon Orc On the official Monster Bestiary, he was non as the ‘Orc Jaguar covered in pronium scales’

This name came about because the scales of the skill ‘Leviathan’s Scales’ covering the Orc’s body resembled the blue-coloured metal, pronium

Additionally, the ies and stories of the Demon Orc had crossed the borders and per quite a bit of stir frolobe Thanks to that, several international news agencies such as BBD, CNC etc, had co was to film the unique and powerful Monster that could only be found in Korea

‘…I should be really careful when hunting from now on’

Sae-Jin sighed out while browsing the Dawn Knights Order’s exclusive app ‘Dawn Page’, which was only possible to do so after he borrowed Yu Sae-Jung’s log-in ID

Frohts were forate the Deot royally pssed off at the fact that his daughter got hospitalised and consequently, he placed a bounty of nearly 2 million dollars on the Orc’s head So, how could anyone not participate in this hunt?

“Fuheung”

And that’s why Kim Sae-Jin the Orc could only squat inside his cave for now But he wasn’t wasting his valuable ti

The Magic Tattoos

He was in thethe entire body of the Orc

‘Not even a trace, huh’

Kim Sae-Jin looked on at his completed Tattoos with satisfaction

Since Orcs had no ‘dexterity’ whatsoever, the end results were rather crude but, the colour of the tattoos were the same as his skin so it was hard to spot them, and when he activated the Leviathan’s Hard Body, the scales would cover up his entire body,it didn’t even matter anyways

[With the absorption of a e of the ele on the power of the elee from spells ranked below D]

The reason why Sae-Jin went and got hiot properly schooled by a certain Mid Tier Knight with a Trait called the Magic Swordsman From this encounter, he learned that, while an Orc’s body possessed a strong resistance towards physical da ‘ic’

“Fuu”

Even though he was quite chuffed at the cohten and ended up sighing out loudly

‘Just when can I become an Orc Great Warrior?’

As soon as his Orc Jaguar Forle re condition, the power balance within hiive hiet a sniff on what that bloody condition ht be

‘Well, nothing to gain by just sitting around…’

The Orc’s expression turned sour as if he had stepped on dog poo, and unwillingly, he began to walk out of the cave

Early in the following

“An interview?”

– “Yeah I just got a call fro they want to interview the members of our Society I don’t knohy they contacted us first, but… what do you think, Oppa?”

Sae-Jin welco

“The Ti?”

Even if he was a dirt-poor orphan growing up, he still s was thehad just mentioned

– “Yep, it’s theht They are probably the world’s best weekly publication out there? Anyways, one of the topics they are covering this week is the rising Societies, and that’s why they want to interview us, apparently”

Yu Sae-Jung didn’t even try to hide her happiness as she giggled loudly

– “It sure will be totally weird and so funny if Oppa is selected as the Person of the Year or so”

She even started saying sos as well

“…That doesn’t even make sense But you do it if you want I don’t think I can make it”

Sae-Jin was filled with regret as he spoke his refusal Even though he desperately wanted to do the interview, there just wasn’t enough tiht take

– “Excuse me?! But why? You’re the Society’s Chairman, so how can you be absent?! Huh, well then, what about Mister Goblin, Mister Orc or Miss Shenarine the Wizard?”

“Uh… Hmm I don’t think they will be available as well”

– “Ahhhh-aht!!”

Sae-Jin chuckled as her despairing cry caht that before too long, he should let her know of the identity of both the Alchemist and the Blacksmith…
