Episode 78
After a long vacation, Maria returned to Glory Guild.
Usually, the day after her vacation, she visits the CEO’s office to say hello to Goo Geon’s return, but the place where she stopped was not the CEO’s office but the ‘healing room’.
“You went into the healing room as soon as you arrived?”
“yes. That’s right.”
“under… … .”
Goo Geon burst into laughter.
I thought she would have put her mind in order during the vacation, but it seemed like she still couldn’t shake off the unnecessary guilt.
‘I thought it would get better as I get older, but instead it gets worse.’
Self-criticism bordering on myelopathy.
Gu Geon dismissed it as Maria’s ‘flaw’.
The Virgin Mary’s fatal flaw, which is nothing to be regretted in the world.
But this time, I couldn’t tell her to put her mind in order.
This is because it was an undeniable fact that the process of Yoo Ji-won’s death was falsely announced.
Moreover, because Yoo Ji-won did not tell him that he was in a state where he could no longer do anything, the ape harbored murderous intentions towards Cheon Hae-seon.
Murder of a car that was intentionally created due to lack of writing.
This could be said to be what Goo Geon implicitly intended.
But what is the result?
It was just a miserable failure.
“f*ck… … . Cheon Hae-seon… … If only that bastard was involved… … !!”
So far, most of the cases that Goo Geon has handled have come true according to his wishes.
So Maria also had something to say.
You may not like it, but it’s ultimately good for everyone.
But in this case, everything got twisted.
The Glory Guild laboratory was blown up, both Yoo Ji-won and his father were killed, and the Glory Guild’s reputation was greatly damaged.
If the results had been good, there would have been an excuse, but now even ten mouths have nothing to say.
Uggeukgeuk.
I’m so hot that I can’t control my strength.
The mouse he was holding was crushed like dough.
Goo Geon threw the mouse roughly and shouted irritably at the chief secretary.
“Report immediately when Maria comes out!!!”

Glory Guild Headquarters Healing Room.
This place is like a sanctuary within the guild.
This is a forbidden area that even CEO Goo Geon-i cannot enter.
One of the leaders of the Glory Guild, Maria, was there.
There is only one thing she does here.
It was about chopping up my own body and wrestling with guilt.
“… … .”
But for some reason, today she sat quietly.
Although she was kneeling as usual, there were no scars on Maria’s white skin today.
She is just thinking.
The things he said when he broke up with Cheon Hae-seon.
[I hope you value your own body the same way you treat other people.]
[If you want to vent your anger, do it in your heart.]
Normally, one might be moved by the words that came before, but the words that Maria kept repeating endlessly were the ones that followed.
“Do it in your heart…” … .”
Maria closes her eyes and mutters to herself.
It was the first time she had heard this in her life.
After all, most people don’t know that she does this.
This was my first time confessing my own shame to someone and receiving advice about it.
Take your anger out on yourself.
“difficult… … .”
Maria sighed softly.
That was definitely more difficult than inflicting physical injuries.
This is because she was not born with the type of person to blame others.
So, rather than getting angry at others, I chose to blame myself.
However, Maria, who accepted Cheon Hae-seon’s advice, finally realized.
The act of hurting yourself can only serve as simple self-consolation.
If you don’t get angry at everyone, including yourself, nothing will change in the future.
“Maybe it’s my fault.”
There is a man who seems to be paying attention, but in the end, he does not give up on what he wants.
I thought it was just this one time and that it wouldn’t happen again, but nothing changed.
why.
Because his partner, himself, was confined to a closet.
Tight.
Maria bit her lip until it bled.
But that was far from the ‘action’ that always took place here.

She’s just mad as hell.
Not only to himself, but to the entire Glory Guild that surrounds him.
‘It can’t go on like this.’
The small flap of wings that Cheon Hae-seon gave her was creating a typhoon within her.
* * *
Baejeongdae.
A man with a protruding mouth and grumpy eyes, resembling a toad, stands up.
He doesn’t look like a man by any means, but unlike Pyo Hyeok-gyu or an ape, he is a man who gives off a feeling of challenge.
Having been elected as the new vice president of the association, he opens his arms to welcome the man in front of him.
“welcome. “Hunter Cheon Hae-seon.”
“hello.”
‘Up close, you look much younger.’
Bae Jeong-dae, who confirmed Cheon Hae-seon’s actual appearance in front of him, curled up the corners of his mouth so that he could not be seen.
A timid kid pretending to be an adult.
Bae Jeong-dae, who had been watching Cheon Hae-seon’s movements, came to that conclusion.
purple.
Even now, when he visits the association, don’t his eyes waver here and there?
Although his fighting skills are unrivaled, he is not a bold man.
Avoiding public attention and media interviews.
Not living a brilliant life by choosing a guild.
He also put Hyuk-gyu Pyo in place of himself during the press conference.
Even secretly clearing out the poison dungeon.
Contrary to what the world praises, Cheon Hae-seon is immature and timid.
So, if you persuade them appropriately, you can have a favorable relationship.
It’s a relationship that can be exploited.
Baejeongdae hid his confident face underneath.
“I apologize.”
Nod.
Without even going through the formal process of handing over a business card, I bowed my head towards Cheon Hae-seon and entered.
“… … “What are you apologizing for?”
I got caught.
The face facing the floor is filled with sorrow.
If you weren’t willing to accept the apology, you wouldn’t have even listened.
Asking ‘Do you know what you did wrong?’ means that there is room to change your mind.
When Bae Jeong-dae raised his head again, his face was already perfectly painted.
“After taking office, I started by looking at the data on Hunter Hae-seon Cheon. “It was full of apologies from beginning to end.”
In order to change Cheon Hae-seon’s mind, a line must be drawn between the former vice president and, indeed, the existing association.
That was the target Bae Jeong-dae had in mind.
“When Hunter took the qualification test, it was confirmed that Imperial Tiger was addicted. “Hunter Cheon Hae-seon healed it as if it were natural, but it was a monster that most healers couldn’t even approach.”
“Again?”
“Hunter Cheon Hae-seon was not mentioned in the process of killing Yoo Ji-won. And as a member of the same association, former Vice President Ape contracted Hunter to commit murder. These are all mistakes that cannot be washed away. Although former vice-president Ape’s actions were a personal deviation, we at the Hunter Association fully realize responsibility.”
“Is there something that can be called a sense of perseverance?”
Cheon Hae-seon answers with a smile on his lips.
‘Smile?’
I think it’s a little early to forgive.
After all, a kid is just a kid?
“Thank you for your understanding. so… … .”
Just as he is about to reveal his proud intentions, Bae Jeong-dae’s pupils become infinitely larger.
“So I’m thinking of quitting.”
“?”
At first, I thought I heard wrong.
However, Bae Jeong-dae soon had to open his mouth as if his jaw had dropped at the incredible statement.
“Yes, yes???”
“I think I did it for no reason. I’m already pissed, but the Vice President listed them one by one, and it makes me feel like a thousand dollars inside. “I’ll hit you.”
“ah… … no.”
Why are there all these guys?
Still, I thought he was just a kid pretending to be an adult, but when I saw him in reality, I realized he was a very helpless kid.
While accepting the apology, I tried to listen to it within a reasonable range if various conditions were put forward.
In the case of the multi-ability test, I was planning to persuade them to take the test only within this year rather than this quarter.
I tried to win Cheon Hae-seon’s favor through apologies and carrots, but what?
Quit being a hunter?
“That’s troubling…” … !!”
For the first time, my true feelings appeared on Bae Jeong-dae’s face.
Even after ambitiously taking office as vice president of the Hunter Association and accumulating achievements, it is not enough, so Cheon Hae-seon kicks out the Hunter?
Our already unstable position will swing like a pendulum.
“why. “I won’t do it.”
When I see Cheon Hae-seon answering indifferently, a thousand fires well up inside me.
Do you know what the words you are saying mean… … !!
If an ‘S’ rank hunter, known as a national treasure, quits with his limbs intact, it will not only affect his own safety but also result in a loss to the nation.
Although there were cases like Kang Hyeon’s where he was forced to retire due to an accident, it was rare to find a case where a hunter in his prime quit because he was dissatisfied with the association.
Also, this is happening as soon as I take office?
It was something that could never be tolerated as assigned.
“Please think of the innocent people dying at the hands of monsters. “Recently, the number of gates and dungeons appearing has increased, and people are shaking with fear.”
“well.”
“?”
“Even if there were hunters, people were dying? “Because the Poison Gate exploded at the same time.”
What the f*ck are you talking about?
A pupil earthquake occurs in Baejeongdae’s eyes.
However, there is no way that a person like the next vice president would be oblivious.
He soon remembered that Cheon Hae-seon was a resident of Gaejeong-dong.
“that… … “This is a very unfortunate incident.”
Cheon Hae-seon had no particular reaction.
“But at the same time, it was an unfortunate incident. Isn’t this an unprecedented double poison gate in Korea? There are limits to how one guild can mobilize multiple poison equipment… … .”
“That’s the problem.”
“??”
“That’s what happens when a guild that doesn’t know much is given a large jurisdiction. At the very least, if regulations had been made so that other guilds could cooperate in case of an emergency, such a tragedy would not have occurred. It’s not bad luck or a genius. “It’s just a disaster caused by greed.”
Seeing Cheon Hae-seon pointing out each and every detail, deep wrinkles appear between Bae Jeong-dae’s eyebrows.
Just a moment ago, I thought he was a child with no plan, but what does this logical and orderly appearance mean?
Bae Jeong-dae felt like he was possessed by a ghost.
When Cheon Hae-seon contacted me and said he would come to the association, I thought they had all caught the fish.
But what is this?
The reason he came to the association was to kill Hunter… … !
“Where is the withdrawal application form?”
“Now, now, now, wait!!”
Bae Jeong-dae hastily stops Cheon Hae-seon, who is about to get up from her seat.
“only once… … Please think again, Hunter Haeseon Cheon. “Losing a hunter like you is a huge blow to the country.”
And it was also a critical blow to Bae Jeong-dae himself.
Bae Jeong-dae had a desperate look on his face as he threw away the abacus that had been bouncing around in his head.
“I have no regrets anymore. “I have prepared a house for myself, and my limbs are still intact, but I have to starve to death.”
“Don’t be like that, if there is something that needs to be improved, please tell us without hesitation. “Rather than just throwing away a broken part, shouldn’t you at least try to fix it?”
Baejeongdae’s three-inch tongue moves skillfully.
Any decent person would have at least pretended to listen.
But Cheonhae just picked his ears.
“I was so offended by such foolish remarks. Can you cut the Glory Guild’s jurisdiction in half? “I think they’re just that crazy.”
“that… … case… … !!!”
It’s an absurd story.
It has been an opinion raised elsewhere that the Glory Guild has too many jurisdictions, but this is not enough to halve it.
He would not make such a decision even if someone other than him became the vice president of the association.
“Look at that. “It’s not possible.”
Cheon Hae-seon shrugs and turns around.
If we continue like this, we are really in danger of losing an S ranker.
And right after interviewing myself… … !!
Bae Jeong-dae spoke on Cheon Hae-seon’s back.
“Most!!!!”
“?”
“We will reflect it as much as possible! Put my title on the line! “Please tell me what you want!”
At first glance, it was a grim face, but it was full of desperation.
Cheon Hae-seon looked at him with strange eyes.
His lips draw a bright tail.
“Really?”
