Episode 70
“Whew.”
Sihyeon sighed briefly.
The first day passed quickly. New facilities, new co-workers, new prisoners. As I looked around with curiosity because there were so many new things, it was already time to get off work.
However, because there was a new welcome party and I had to attend it, it was a bit late when I arrived home. Now that I think about it, the new house I lived in was still unfamiliar to me. It felt awkward, like I was entering someone else’s house. Still, the fact that the monthly rent was cheaper than in Seoul was an advantage.
Sihyeon finished washing her face and lay down on the bed. He was tired, but he had something to check before going to sleep.
Sihyeon opened the status window. The first thing he noticed was his condition, which was stuck in his upper right corner.
“Level 7 Lieutenant.”
Sihyeon muttered.
The feeling was new. It seems like only yesterday that I was at the final level, but I’m at level 7. It was no longer a low position at all. There are quite a few employees who are lower in rank than you.
I am now in level 7 after 4 years of being in level 9… If we continued at this pace, there was nothing more to ask for. The problem was that promotion to level 6 took a considerable amount of time.
It’s not like I can come up with a sharp answer if I think about it right now, but I planned to think about it step by step while working at my new workplace.
Next, Sihyeon opened the skill window and checked the new skill.
“hmm….”
Sihyeon’s expression was a little different from what he expected. Since she was a bongjutsu, she thought there would be something like herbivory, but there was nothing like that. There was only an explanation of mercilessly beating the opponent.
Usually, when we think of martial arts of rising, whether it is swordsmanship or spearmanship, we think of a refined and clean herbal style without any unnecessary elements. However, looking at the explanation, Poahim’s jailer’s baton technique seemed like a random fighting technique used only by low-level third-rate mercenaries. Of course, it was just a feeling, and if you actually use it, it may be a better technology than you think. Anyway, I thought I would have to use it to find out.
“Anyway, a skill that consumes magic power has finally appeared.”
Sihyeon muttered as if it were fascinating. Originally, it was more surprising that there was no magic consumption, but it turned out to be the opposite.
The magic power consumption is 1.
Usually in role-playing games, these skills are the lowest of the low. The higher the magic consumption, the higher the skill. This is true not only in games but also in the world of hunters. If you think about it that way, it was a skill that you had absolutely no expectations for.
However, considering the effectiveness of the fearsome guard’s loud roar with 0 magical power consumption, it could have been the opposite.
Sihyeon chuckled and opened the inventory window this time. It was to check the second guard’s baton given by Poahim.
[Poachim’s second guard pole]
“….”
what… Is it magic?
I was really looking forward to it, but my expectations were dashed. As oak wood was changed to ebony wood, which was hard enough to be called ironwood, the hardness increased and the grade seemed to increase.
Still, it seemed like it was now at the point where I could occasionally use it in raids. Of course, it was a weapon that was not even rare. Anyway, I think I can guess one thing from this.
The first Gansu Peak is normal.
The second guard pole is magic.
If so, there was a high probability that the third guard peak was rare. According to this calculation, there is a possibility that the fifth guard peak is legendary.
… To be honest, it was true that it seemed like a very distant story. Still, I wondered where it was possible to have such expectations.
‘That’s it, that’s enough. Now sleep, sleep.’
Sihyeon closed her eyes.
◈ ◈ ◈
It was Friday. Today was the last day of practical training.
Sihyeon was in the security department lounge. Perhaps because it was a building built less than ten years ago, the interior was clean and the facilities were good. Korean Prison was also a good correctional facility, but it could not be compared to special detention centers.
The fact that the lounge had a massage chair and even a bed to lie down on was unthinkable in a Korean prison. Still, Sihyeon was too lazy to lie down, so she sat on a regular sofa.
“older brother.”
Next to him was Kang Baek.
“why?”
“Your position will be decided today, right?”
“I guess so. Well, isn’t that the responsibility of Sadong anyway?”
Sihyeon said as if it were obvious. There is no way to put people in charge who have just been appointed, and if so, they will only be in charge.
“Isn’t there a night shift?”
“Didn’t you hear what I said? I heard they don’t make new employees work overtime here.”
“Yes? Why?”
“First of all, they said that they would make you work at the Sadong during the week so you can learn how to work at the Sadong. I guess that would help you learn the job faster.”
Other correctional facilities also had such facilities, depending on the style of the security manager.
However, the special detention center in particular is a place with a uniqueness that is a bit different from other places, so I understood the method of having people learn to work in daytime workshops.
“Huh, that’s right. I didn’t hear that.”
Kang Baek scratched his head. Then he glanced around the break room. Because it was peak work time, there were no other guards in the break room. Because they were on-the-job training, they were given this break. Even though today was the last day.
After confirming that no one was around, Kang Baek opened his mouth again.
“How are you feeling, brother? How do you feel compared to where you used to work?”
“Where I worked, there were a lot of inmates and over 500 employees, so it had a city-like atmosphere, but here it’s the opposite, so it feels like I’m in a quiet countryside.”
“I’m sure you can feel that way.”
“But.”
“yes.”
“The acceptance order is completely messed up. I don’t like it.”
Sihyeon said.
That was what I felt most clearly during the five days. The acceptance order is a mess.
First of all, he did not follow the guards’ instructions well. He rarely listened to what was said all at once, and only after talking to him a few times did he even pretend to listen. And no matter how solitary the prison cell was, it was too loose. No matter what time of day it was, he rolled around as if it were his own home.
However, the guards did not particularly touch him. Occasionally, he would just tell me to get up and go. And even if the inmate did not follow the instructions, they just passed by without checking.
In Sihyeon’s opinion, even if they released it, they released it too much. There were no prison guards trying to strictly enforce the detention order.
If you do that, your body may definitely feel better. There were prison guards doing that at other facilities as well.
However, there were too many prison guards here. There is no way that the above is unaware of such an atmosphere, but that would mean that the above do not particularly care about such things. Of course, for Sihyeon, such things were understandable, but they were absolutely unacceptable due to her personality.
The inmates did not come to the detention center to have fun. He came to pay for his sins. As a prisoner, I had to follow the basic rules. If you are imprisoned because of a mess, how can it be said that you are paying for your sins? The victims would have been outraged if they had seen it.

“Is it that much?”
Kang Baek asked with questioning eyes. This is his first correctional facility, so he doesn’t know what other places are like.
“I think you could say it’s bad objectively, not just subjectively.”
“haha….”
“Don’t worry too much. Kangbaek, just do your job for now. Don’t just step in and try to establish order of acceptance. If you do that, you could end up being labeled as a new person with no answers from the start.”
“What about you, brother?”
“I have different time than you. Didn’t I tell you that I was an ace in security?”
Sihyeon held her head high and spoke with as much confidence as possible.
However, Kangbaek reacted a little doubtfully.
“Yes… you said so. I know, brother.”
“Just wait and see. What I do. I can never see the building where I work be in disarray.”
◈ ◈ ◈
Monday has come.
Si-hyeon’s assigned position was as a second-floor manager on the second floor. It was a place that mainly accommodated low-level hunters such as E-class and D-class, and since Si-hyeon’s license was D-class, it seemed that the position was decided with that in mind.
“Hello, Chief Sangwoo Yoon.”
The person in charge of the second company on the second floor was Manager Sangwoo Yoon. We knew each other’s faces because we spoke to each other at dinner parties. He was two years older than Si-hyeon, but in terms of his experience as a prison guard, he was actually one year younger than Si-hyeon. He passed the special examination three years ago and worked as a deputy, and has been working as a manager since the beginning of this year.
“Yes, hello. Chief Lee.”
Director Yoon greeted me. He was an average-sized man with a white face and glasses who looked more like a teacher than a prison guard.
“I heard you have some experience.”
“Yes, I worked at the Korean Prison for about four years.”
“You have more skills than me. I don’t think there’s much to learn at that level.”
Chief Yoon said with a slight smile.
Sihyeon also smiled in response.
“Thank you for your positive feedback, but I know it is a bit different from regular facilities. I think we will have to work hard in the beginning.”
“You are humble. Anyway, thank you.”
“Please take care of me too.”
After some formal remarks were exchanged, work began in earnest.
Sihyeon first focused on understanding the work she would do. Of course, I paid close attention to the work during my on-the-job training period, but even here, the degree of division of work was different for each person in charge. Therefore, it was necessary to work according to the style of the person in charge.
It was also important to understand what kind of person Soji is and how he works. It was the same here as well, without Soji, things wouldn’t work properly.
Possession was dangerous, so naturally the grade was not high. Two exemplary E-class prisoners were selected to help each unit.
The morning passed quickly as I focused on the things I needed to pay attention to and understand.
Manager Yoon must have been expecting Sihyeon to learn the job quickly because she was an experienced person and not a beginner, but fortunately, it didn’t seem like those expectations were violated.
“It’s different because he has experience.”
Chief Yoon said good things. It seemed like it was not a polite thing to say, but an honest statement.
“You keep saying embarrassing things.”
Sihyeon accepted it with a smile.
“Who goes to lunch first?”
“I, the person in charge, usually go to eat first, but if you don’t like it, can I change it?”
“No. It’s easier to just do it as is.”
“Okay. Then keep up the good work.”
Director Yoon said that and walked toward Sadongmun to have lunch. As he opened the door and walked out completely, his sister-in-law sighed softly.
Perhaps because it was my first time working in an unfamiliar place with strangers, I was more hectic than I thought. Well, if you do this for a day or two, you will quickly get used to it.
Sihyeon entered the password and turned on the monitor. I planned to use this time to get to know the inmates. There are only 10 people, so it won’t take long. As I worked, I had to memorize the names of nearly 80 inmates, but keeping track of about 10 was not a task.
“Let’s see where… what kind of people are imprisoned.”
Sihyeon clicked the mouse and muttered.
