Episode 164
“Whoa… … .”
I did everything I could.
Yuk Cheolwan wiped the sweat from his forehead with his thick arm.
I was so absorbed that I couldn’t even pay attention to the numbers displayed on the electronic display board.
By the time the smoke disappeared, all the machines had been turned off, so Yuk Cheol-wan was unable to check his score.
The staff will let you know when you leave this testing room.
With that thought in mind, the moment Yuk Cheol-wan was about to take a step,
Rattling.
A man with a short, thin build hurriedly opened the door and came in.
Yuk Cheol-wan tilted his head at the unexpected appearance of the man.
“Yukcheolwan Hunter! “Do you know what you just did?”
Kwon Hik-hyeon repeatedly uses his point and scolds Yuk Cheol-wan.
“What are you doing?”
“No matter what the circumstances, it’s true! What hunter in the world would wear a device on her arm and take a test… … !!!”
Kwon Ik-hyeon rolled his eyes and glared at Yuk Cheol-wan’s right arm.
“test… … second… … ??”
But unfortunately, the silver gauntlet device that Kwon Ik-hyeon had seen disappeared without a trace.
‘… … aha.’
Yuk Cheol-wan was able to understand the situation by looking at Kwon Ik-hyeon’s puzzled face.
There was no need to do so, but Yuk Cheol-wan showed off his secret at the last moment.
Silver-colored gloves that appear when you focus the dagger’s buff on one spot.
Argentum gauntlet.
Yuk Cheol-wan wanted to test how much strength he could exert, and Kwon Ik-hyeon probably saw it and mistook it for a device.
“What are you talking about now?”
Yuk Cheolwan suddenly asked in a cold voice.
There is already three times the difference in physique, but when Yuk Cheol-wan’s complexion changes, Kwon Ik-hyeon steps back with a prick.
“Can you take responsibility for what you just said? “I think they said I took the test illegally.”
“that is… … “That’s not it!”
He wanted to protest, but Kwon Ik-hyeon couldn’t find anything to make an excuse for.
How can you pick up the words once they’ve been spit out?
He even used a point to accuse Yuk Cheol-wan of cheating on the test, and the camera is probably focused on him at this very moment.
“Before I became an Irregular, I was a proud Korean hunter. Could it be that they took the test by tricking their eyes by wearing a device? “If you can find it, look for it somewhere.”
Yuk Cheol-wan spread his arms wide in a strong tone.
Even though his large body stretched out his arms, he couldn’t have been that threatening.
A scene as if a wild bear was threatening people.
Kwon Ik-hyeon nodded and bowed his head to Yuk Cheol-wan.
“crime… … sorry. “I definitely thought I saw something on my hand, but I guess I saw it wrong.”
“So you’re saying that we concluded that he was a cheating tester based on something we weren’t sure about?”
Kwon Ik-hyeon wanted to run away somewhere as the frosty interrogation continued.
On the other hand, I felt something strange.
‘Was the hunter named Yuk Cheol-wan originally like this?’
Yuk Cheol-wan, as seen through the media, had an image of being honest and sincere.
Compared to Bi-su, who was a person of interest, and Cheon Hae-seon, who was sometimes clever, he was a man without a nobleman.
But now, for some reason, it was baring its teeth fiercely.
The reason why Yuk Cheol-wan suddenly does something he doesn’t normally do(?).
That was purely because of Cheon Hae-seon.
[Hunter Haeseon Cheon would have done well in business.]
[Business?]
[yes. If you watch closely from the side, you will see that when doing business with others, you only make transactions that will unconditionally benefit you. When it comes to fights, I only choose the ones I can win.]
[lol. is it.]
[On the other hand, in my case, I think I have been doing business at a loss my whole life. I would pass over situations where I could have gained more benefit, and I would also spread the word about things that I felt were necessary to go to that length. If I could, I would like to become a bad dad like Hunter Cheon Hae-seon.]
[…] … Is that a compliment or an insult?]
[haha. Of course it’s a compliment.]
[hmm. great. Let’s move on. But it’s not that difficult. It’s because Cheolwan Hunter keeps trying to understand.]
[understanding… … yo. this?]
[yes. Because Mr. Cheolwan’s personality is so kind, he keeps trying to understand other people’s mistakes. That’s why you run a business that is underperforming or losing money. Instead of trying to understand, how about calculating it?]
[Calculation… … ?]
[Once you understand, nothing remains. But when you do the math, things change. Since that guy did this to me, what should I get in order to make ends meet? How can I recover from the mental damage I have received? Things like this.]
[It may seem easy, but… … This is a difficult task.]
[lol. It’s hard at first, but eventually your brain will spin like a calculator. Uncle Cheolwan is very personable, so you should get into the habit of calculating. Especially when I’m alone!!]
‘Is that right now?’
Right now, Yuk Cheolwan has no colleagues around him.
And the man in front of him insulted himself.
Normally, you might understand, ‘I must have seen it wrong,’ but for some reason, Yuk Cheol-wan didn’t think that was the case.
This is because he was secretly ignored by association officials not only just now, but also throughout the testing process.
So Yuk Cheol-wan did not try to understand.
“I think this happened because there was no official supervisor. “When I meet Chairman Lee Sa-soon later, I will personally relay today’s events.”

“!”
No matter what organization you work for, how would you feel if you reported a mistake to the organization’s representative?
Kwon Ik-hyeon jumped up.
“Hunter Yuk Cheol-wan. Isn’t this how I apologize? “Please understand that mistakes are made because this is a human job.”
“Understand… … .”
Yuk Cheolwan muttered softly and then grinned.
Creepily, that expression was very similar to Cheon Hae-seon’s.
“Then please grant me one request.”
* * *
“Why doesn’t it come out like this?”
“You probably failed the test and are hiding somewhere, right?”
“haha. “Is it possible that an Irregular Hunter would do such a petty thing?”
The number of reporters did not change much compared to before the test.
The sight of Yuk Cheol-wan taking the test was interesting, but the results after taking the test were more important to them than anything else.
How much time has passed?
The association’s tightly closed door was finally opened.
“oh!”
Reporters who were sitting comfortably stand up and head to the door.
Everyone was busy with the desire to cover the highlights of the day.
But unfortunately, it was not Yuk Cheol-wan that the reporters found.
A short man with a gloomy appearance came out holding a scoreboard.
“manager?”
Since team leader Kwon Ik-hyun was a reporter who had been summoned by an employee, everyone knew his identity.
Why did team leader Kwon Ik-hyeon appear instead of Yuk Cheol-wan, who had been waiting for him?
“Hmm. greatness.”
Kwon Ik-hyeon cleared his throat awkwardly, looked left and right, and said.
“I’m here today to inform you of the test results for Yukcheolwan Hunter.”
“yes?”
“Why did the team leader… … .”
“Where is Yukcheolwan Hunter now?”
The reporters made bewildered looks, and Kwon Ik-hyeon felt uncomfortable watching them.
However, Kwon Ik-hyuk had to skip Yuk Cheol-wan’s interview.
This is because Yuk Cheol-wan promised, ‘If you take charge of the reporters outside, I will treat you as if nothing had happened.’
If it had been another hunter, he might have snorted and refused.
However, Yuk Cheol-wan was a member of ‘The Irregular’, and the Irregular had a meeting scheduled with Chairman Lee Sa-soon before leaving the country.
If she hears that you accused her of cheating on the test without even verifying it accurately, it will be difficult for her to avoid being reprimanded in any way.
‘I’m going to look around out of embarrassment.’
He called reporters, saying something interesting would happen, but ended up hiding Yuk Cheol-wan himself.
Kwon Ik-hyeon’s face was hot, but he opened his mouth with difficulty to keep his promise.
“Hunter Yukcheolwan is in need of physical and mental stability due to the aftereffects of the exam. “Currently, we are planning to send you home through a separate route, and interviews are not possible.”
“Yes?”
Is this what it feels like to be stabbed in the foot by an ax you trust?
Reporters called by team leader Ik-Hyeon Kwon raised their eyes.
Their stinging gaze struck him like a needle, but Kwon Ik-hyeon had no other options.
In order to quell this atmosphere of criticism, the sooner the announcement was made, the better.
“I am sorry. Then, we will announce the test results.”
Even though I saw it with my own eyes, it still doesn’t feel real.
After clearing his throat once, Ik-Hyeon Kwon revealed the scoreboard he was holding.
“Yuk Cheol-wan passed all of the retake exams held today. As of today, Hunter Yuk Cheol-wan has acquired the ‘multi-ability’ qualification, and the multi-ability items are as follows. ‘S’ rank knight, and ‘B’ rank esper.”
“… … ?”
Even though there were quite a few people gathered, everyone stood there as if they were dumbfounded.
They didn’t even point the camera at the scoreboard.
This is because not a single one of them thought that Yuk Cheol-wan would pass the qualification test.
“that is… … “Is this true?”
A reporter who came out of shock asked a very important question.
This is what Kwon Ik-hyun, the team leader who organized the retake, came out and officially declared.
There is no lie whatsoever in that fact.
But all the other reporters were thinking the same thing.
That said, an absurd result was obtained.
“With all due respect, the testing process was very fair and conducted without any errors. Hunter Yuk Cheol-wan faithfully took the test and passed all test subjects perfectly.”
“oh my god… … .”
I tried to cover the disappointment of failing an exam, but the exact opposite result came out.
At this point, the reporters’ sense of betrayal toward Kwon Ik-hyeon intensified even more.
Such a huge incident happened, but I never thought the association would steal the Yukcheolwan.
‘f*ck. If you’re going to be like this, why did you call me?’
In any case, the test results will soon be announced on the association’s website.
If you just wanted to check the results, there was no need to come to the headquarters.
Team leader Kwon Ik-hyun also knew this very well, and as soon as the results were announced, he ran away in a panic.
“I’ll just leave then.”
“manager!”
“wait a minute!”
All reporters chased Kwon Ik-hyun.
In a scene that had been crowded for a while, there was now only one person left.
Unlike the absurd and angry reporters, a timid-looking young man stood with a proud face.
Kang Jeong-hyeon heard the results among the reporters and secretly clenched his fists upon hearing the news that he had passed the test.
‘Uncle Cheolwan did it… … !’
I had no doubt that everyone would pass, but I still had to calm down.
This is because the training method that Yuk Cheol-wan has been doing so far has been too harsh.
Considering the years of suffering, Kang Jeong-hyeon could be said to be as much of an authority(?) as Cheon Hae-seon.
So I was able to indirectly feel the pain that Yuk Cheol-wan must have experienced.
If he hadn’t passed after training so hard, Kang Jeong-hyeon would have been so unfair that he wouldn’t have been able to sleep at night.
Buuuung.
In the headquarters building, which has become deserted due to the disappearance of people, the sound of an engine is suddenly heard.
I think it’s similar to the sound I heard this morning.
With that thought in mind, Kang Jeong-hyeon turned his head, and his face immediately brightened.
“mister… … !”
An ‘S’ rank multi-talented person approached me while driving a car.
Yuk Cheol-wan raised his thumb towards Kang Jeong-hyeon.
