”Major, we're all here.”
It was late, and the sun had already fallen and disappeared. Cold breath filled the place, and the group was gathered under the thick darkness where even their cold breath was not visible.
'There is no exception.'
The identity of the mess was the survivors.
Bang Hyun-wook approached the survivors immediately as soon as Kim Tae-hoon's permission was given … approaching and talking to his unrequited love, Joo Ha-yeon.
The Mac Clan was accepting applicants. If you passed the Mac Clan tests, you could move with it.
At his word, the twenty-two survivors announced their intention to join the Mac Clan without a single exception. It was natural for survivors who thought that there might be a chance of life, even if was the worst case!
-----
”I'll tell you a few things.” Kim Tae-hoon said to those who had gathered.
”One, our Clan's name is Mac, the Mac Clan, and two, the monster stones that the Clan has acquired from the monster hunt, and all the monster parts, are all mine. Three, you must obey orders unconditionally.”
Kim Tae-hoon paused there for a moment. He didn't add a warning, such as, ”Don't say anything later,”
This was not a training room for new employees in a company, and if they said something else later, he would just deal with it without warning. Those who had such schemes were not worthy of consideration.
Kim Tae-hoon stopped and looked over the crowd, the expressions in their eyes.
Most of the survivors had dead eyes. They had seen many deaths, to be exact.
Of course, not everyone looked that way. Even in this situation, there were those who looked at Kim Tae-hoon clearly.
The woman, who made Bang Hyun-wook take action, was one of those who looked at Kim Tae-hoon clearly.
'Her eyes are not dead.'
The cute and pretty appearance, the hairstyle that was cut short with a cat-like face, was obviously popular from appearance alone.
Bang Hyun-wook had said, ”She was an aspiring entertainer.” Although she had not made her debut yet, she was still a trainee at an entertainment agency of fair size.
Of course, Kim Tae-hoon did not really think much of the fact.
”Then we'll start classification.” His role was to pick out the good and bad from these applicants.
”Who had a career in a professional like manufacturing and agriculture?”
At his question, four people looked around and carefully raised their hands.
Three men, one woman. The woman looked to be in her twenties, the men in their thirties.
”What's your field?”
”I worked at a factory, not very professional, but I did a lot of things.”
”Well, I worked on the construction site. My career was pretty good. I'm good at tools, though I don't have a license.”
”I'm a nurse, and I'm very good at it, though I've only got a few years of experience. Please…”
There was no power in the voices of those who answered sequentially. They lacked confidence.
They were suspicious that they could be saved by saying these things.
One of the four was different.
”I'm a lawyer.” He introduced his job with a pretty confident expression as if he were waiting for the question. ”For reference, I'm with the Haesung Law Firm.”
He also had confidence that he had not showed before, adding his own affiliation.
It was pretty good. The Haesung Law Firm was not the best in Korea, but it was in the top ten of Korean law firms.
The combined income of the three people who had introduced their professions earlier would not equal the income of the man who said he was a lawyer.
Of course, he deserved to be confident. And the attitude would be worth if it was a week ago.
But not now. ”The three, except for the lawyer, are accepted.”
”No, wait! Are you saying I'm out? Those three are passing?”
Kim Tae-hoon answered the lawyer's question as if he was hard to understand. ”I don't know why you're so proud of yourself.”
”No, I'm with Haesung Law Firm …”
”Just tell me one reason why I need to hire a lawyer against the monsters.”
The lawyer was about to say something more, but then he stopped. His mouth closed, and the glitter in his eyes died quickly.
Kim Tae-hoon ignored the lawyer and continued speaking. ”Who was an artilleryman or a tanker during his military service?”
”I was in the artillery unit.” ”I was also in the artillery unit!” Two men raised their hands quickly.
They looked to be in their mid-twenties, and at this moment they seemed to have noticed who Kim Tae-hoon wanted.
”Who has the first-class license?”
”I have it, I know how to handle forklifts and cranes.”
The number of people raising their hands began to decrease as the questions were repeated, and later on, there was no one left to raise their hand.
”Prepare for the test.” Kim Tae-hoon gave a signal.
The soldiers moved immediately. They lined up the dead bodies of the Sabretooth Wolves.
It was not just a dead body.
The heart was pulled out to get to the monster stone, the body that was chopped all over for slaughter practice, and it was in a terrible state.
'Oh, my God.'
Of course, the survivors had pale faces as soon as they saw the body of the Sabretooth Wolf.
Some with weak stomachs began to vomit immediately.
”The test method is simple.” Ignoring them, Kim Tae-hoon continued speaking.
”Cut off the legs of the Sabretooth Wolf. It does not matter what the condition is. Whether it is front or rear, right or left, bring it to me after cutting it. The time limit is one hour. Tools...”
Kim Tae-hoon grabbed a knife and threw it at the body of the Sabretooth Wolf next to him.
Pook! The knife went deep into the Wolf's belly, only the handle showing.
”One knife, then, and we'll start testing.”

”Oh, shit!” a man working on the sawing off the Sabretooth Wolf's skin and flesh with a knife shouted loudly.
”Damn it, argh! Goddamn it!” Harsh words filled with emotions flowed out of his mouth.
