Chapter 55 (2/2)
‘I should just tell her straight one of these days’
He thought that he had gotten pretty close to Yu Sae-Jung by now It had been already nine irl as aon the cusp of adulthood
There had been a lot of eventful things happening since then He appeared on TV together with her, went out on hunting together, and while hiding his identity, he even ended up s her around
And so, she had become someone he could place his absolute trust in
– “This, this, I’onna say no It’s just… too much”
“Uh? No, don’t do that It’s a good opportunity to increase the visibility of our Society, after all”
– “…Eh?”
“I know you want to do it So, why not? Just don’t forget to package other members nicely while you’re at it”
As if she was co couldn’t even retort back
“Oh, right Besides that, can you find the employees I told you about?”
– “Yeah… huh? Oh, that? Yeah Since we’ll be getting people from the Dawn Corporation, you don’t have to worry about their capabilities The only problem is that, we have way too many applicants…”
“Ah, that’s not an issue”
In the history of h only his or her appearance alone was nearly an impossible task There was a reason why ot invented, after all
However, Sae-Jin actually possessed the ability to see past the outer appearances And that was the skill now rated at B, the ‘Eyes of the Wolf’ Thanks to the skill receiving lots of level up, he could now discern the ‘character’ of other people even when he was in the Human Form
The h After he turned up the sensitivity of his irides to the maximum, he then would look into the eyes of the others; their eye colour would change according to the innate nature of the person
The polar opposites ‘evil’ and ‘good’ were coloured black and white respectively, and depending on which side the person’s colour was closer to, he’d then designate either ‘dirty’ or ‘clean’
This skill even made it possible to discern not only a person’s true character but his or her relevant ‘abilities’ as well He just had to take a look at the aura rising froolden hue, the person was an extraordinary individual, but when the colour was closer to being weak and feeble, then that person was… just a regular Joe
Of course, the colour of his own eyes would change into a bright golden hue if he used this skill, but a pair of contact lenses would take care of that problem so he was not too bothered by that prospect
“I will take care of that problem Just round them up in one place, and I’ll need only five o How many applied?”
– “270”
“Yep, it’s fin… What?! 270?!”
Now that was an unexpected number
Why were there so many applicants? Sae-Jin failed to understand why 270 folks illing to abandon their positions in one of the ious companies in the world for a spot in a Society rated a measly C-…
“Why the hell are there so many people?!”
– “The outlook of our Society is really positive, so there’s that, but… ood employe of 5500 dollars after tax?! You even promised excellent welfare benefits…”
“No, that’s, well… You shouldn’t be stingy when investing in people, you know”
He acted like this because of a certain resentment rooted in his heart
A hu
He got to learn this ainst scorn, abuse, ridicule as well as ignorance
– “Okay, then… The plan is to have the this Friday, so Oppa, please take care of it”
“Right Then you do the interview And if it’s at all possible, speak nicely about me, okay?”
– “Heu-eureat Society Chairman decreed so, I must totally submit to it, then After all, that is the condition to join our Society, right?”
Her unexpected and loaded insinuations went straight for his jugular
“…Hey, you Where did you hear that?”
– “What do you mean, where Everyone’s heard of it by now The conditions for joining our Society are ‘complete subht?”
“Keum The former is incorrect, but as for the latter, we should do exactly that I hate bats”
He said those words mischievously back then… but now, they had so criteria Suddenly, he recalled theof Kim In-Soo Did that fool spread the rumour?
– “But I hear there are still lots of people wishi+ng to join us? Ah, right! Is it true that the upper Mid Tier Knight Joo Ji-Hyuk will be joining us? Everyone’s been talking about it, you see It’s all been hectic inside our Order, too Other Knights are going crazy with jealousy, saying Joo Ji-Hyuk is nowup in the world and stuff”
“Ah, Mister Ji-Hyuk? I thought he’s a good-hearted and diligent guy”
Since it was a Society not just in name only, obviously the member count couldn’t remain at three forever That hy he had set his eyes on Joo Ji-Hyuk for some time now And when Sae-Jin indirectly raised the matter with the dude, Joo Ji-Hyuk’s expressions were like he’d die fro about it
“I already received his application papers I’ to admit him in tomorrow”
– “It’s all good He is a really dependable guy, after all Hether with Mister Ji-Hyuk tomorrow~?”
Yu Sae-Jung’s voice see as the ends of her sentence blurred so like jealousy from Sae-Jin…
“Oh That’s a good idea The fellow Society members should have a cordial relationshi+p with one another, after all”
– “…”
But Kim Sae-Jin was ‘disinterested’ personified – which caused her to sigh out deeply and then, abruptly hang up the phone first
“…What’s her problem?”
As the call had come to a sudden end, he just pocketed his phone and he stretched his lirandly
Today was the beginning of the weekend For hi of the busiest day of them all
Onwards, to the Monster field
An Orc and an Ogre was having a contest of raw strength Now noruar into a sheet of A4-sized paper with a single punch That’s the coardless of where one was froround or a plane of existence
SFX for the Orc’s loud roar
But the current status of this battle was going the other way
The ht this Orc couldthe wooden club wielded by the Ogre, it even shredded a part of the Ogre’s ar power
SFX for an Ogre groaning
After losing one of its arre seemed to have lost its balance and slowly fell down
One wouldn’t have to do anything to achieve victory in this case, but Orcs were an i off its blue scales covering its body, the Orc jure’s face in with the mace
Kwaaaahang!!
The shock waves co off from the impact swept past the trees; and so, that’s how this particular Ogre left this world
After finishi+ng up the fight, the Orc then turned its attention back towards the peanut gallery that shouldn’t even be there in the first place
“Wow”
“Ohhhh”
Clap, clap
Out of the four people standing over there, two of the their hands in delight
Kilared at them while his expression reflected how absurd this situation was
And that situation was thus: about 20ground, Sae-Jin ran into an adult Ogre, a creature that shouldn’t have been there Even though it lacked any distinguishi+ng features such as patterns or horns, an adult Ogre was still a Monster ranked upper Mid Tier that should have been found only at upper Mid Tier hunting ground
The Ogre that see after this party of people Ki the Warrior of Reversal skill and took on the Ogre head on
“Shouldn’t we run now?”
“No, it’s okay That Orc doesn’t kill people”
“No, no, I know that But, although it ht?”
“…Oh, I forgot about that”
Fortunately, one of the group, a Soo-in, with her ears treht frame of mind
“Okay, hang on a sec Lemme take a quick selfie here…”
However, instead of realising the error of her ways, a wo even anhis feet slowly towards this woman
“…I got it!! Let’s run!!”
That feht actually waited until the Orc could be seen better within the cae – and as soon as that was done, she ran off real fast as if her feet were on fire
‘…Really, the world is vast and there truly are one too many crazy idiots out there’
While recalling the fare and pulled out the Mana Stone from the creature’s still heart
A Mana Stone froredient for his tattoos, then without a doubt, he should receive a tremendous boost to his overall power
Just thinking about receiving the power of an Ogre… made the Demon Orc really happy
“Khrrng?”
However, Sae-Jin discovered a certain soh
When he took a closer look… it was an egg
It was an egg with a sticky surface that helped it to effortlessly stick onto just about anything And as far as Sae-Jin’s knowledge base went, he knew only one Monster’s egg that could do this
