Episode 78
Hunters are all drunkards.
Even the lowest-ranking F-rank Hunters have physical abilities and metabolism that far exceed ordinary people.
It’s not for nothing that there are hunters who don’t drink, but there are no hunters who can’t drink.
“Hib. One more drink.”
But there was one person here.
Mr. Songi, whose eyes were half open before he knew it, vigorously shook his empty glass.
“One more drink!”
You’re pretty even when you’re drunk… … not
Isn’t this a bit dangerous?
I looked at Songi with worried eyes.
‘I think I drank too quickly.’ As soon as the drinking party started in earnest, I blew a bottle of soju and stayed that way. Occasionally, with twisted pronunciation, he muttered something incomprehensible to me, such as “I don’t care too much” or “I’m reluctant”.
‘Is something bad happening?’
While Lim Kkeok-jeong filled her glass, she whispered to Choi.
“manager. Songi, what happened?”
Team leader Choi answered with a trembling face.
“… … I do.”
“also.”
“That too recently.”
“oh. iced coffee.”
Songi’s misfortune is my misfortune.
Just watching, the billions collapse.
“Whoa. I hope it turns out well.”
Team leader Choi and even Deacon Kim, who was sitting next to me, looked at me with strange expressions.
This feels kind of weird.
“why?”
“no.”
“Maybe when you’re young.”
It’s a lukewarm answer, but that’s not the point right now.
hard.
“drink! Drink and die today!”
It was because Songi, who poured the third bottle of soju, was going crazy.
“Hahaha! This is why I really like Songi!”
meat in water. No, Lim Kkeok-jeong, who helps out like a bandit after drinking, is a bonus.
“Isn’t it supposed to dry?”
“Ah, Songi?”
“yes.”
Chief Choi shrugged.
“it’s okay. I haven’t seen it for a day or two. Songi’s drinking habit is like that.”
“Even though… … No wait.”
I glared at Team Leader Choi.
I wanted to be suspicious from a while ago, but now I got the hang of it.
“How does the team leader know about Songi’s drinking habit?”
“I know because we drank together.”
“……”
Who is this kid making fun of? Do you think I asked because I didn’t know that?
“It’s not about that.”
“Then what are you talking about?”
“therefore……”
When it comes out like this, I have nothing to say. Come to think of it, what am I supposed to do with the relationship between the two?
At that moment when I was speechless, team leader Choi suddenly opened his mouth.
“Ares. Have you heard of it?”
“of course.”
War God Ares.
It is the name of a god in ancient Greek and Roman mythology.
Although it has become famous in a different sense now.
“Is there anyone who doesn’t know the Ares Guild?”
The pride and pride of Korean hunters.
There are hundreds of guilds in Korea, but only one peak was the Ares Guild. From the beginning of the Cataclysm to the present, the feats they have accomplished are innumerable.
‘It’s literally a legend, a legend.’
Learning comics, educational animations, movies and novels and so on. It even appears in textbooks.
The position that the Ares Guild occupies in Korea is comparable to that of the living King Sejong and the current Admiral Yi Sun-sin. No, it will be more than that.
‘Because it’s so famous all over the world.’
Two Yuno King Sejong? King God General Soon Shin Lee? If you ask, most foreigners will say what this Asian bastard is saying, but Ares Guild is different.
-Two Yuno Ares?
– Oh yes!
It is an established theory in the academic world that even the tough Texas grandfather thumps dual pistols and understands.
“But what about the Ares guild?”
After swallowing a sip of beer, Team Manager Choi answered.
“Because I was there.”
“ah. I see… … yes?”
What did I just hear?
I was speechless and closed my eyes for a while before opening my mouth.
“You said you belonged to the Ares guild?”
“I was the team leader. Even so, it’s a long way off.”
Ares Guild’s threshold is high. We select only the best and grow the best.
Team leader Choi considered himself to be at the very end, but the fact that he has already been appointed as the team leader is great.
In my eyes now, he just looks like an idiot.
“No, why did you come out there?”
money, fame, and status.
If you’re a hunter or a man, it’s the best job you can hope for. Kicking it out!
“Have you ever been bullied by a company, or something like that?”
Team leader Choi thought deeply and replied.
“Maybe it was. Because Songi was the only person who treated me comfortably.”
“… … So Song-i is also in the Ares Guild?”
“He was my teammate. I learned about his drinking habit at team dinners.”
Saliva runs down the neck and gulps down.
‘These are the absolute elites.’
My gaze stopped at one person while looking at team leader Choi who was sipping beer and Songi who was blowing on a bottle.
“Could Deacon Kim… … r
“You mean that?”
Butler Kim smiled kindly and waved his hand.
“I retired a long time ago.
Heh heh heh.”
“yes?”
Then you say you’re a former hunter.
Suddenly, the sense of difference I felt whenever I met Deacon Kim came to mind. Also the fact that he had never been able to identify him as a [feeling].
‘What is this person really like?’
That time when I was trying to raise my spirits.
Lim Kkeok-jeong, who was inhaling alcohol and meat eagerly whether we talked or not, said.
“Oh, the burner lights are out. Song Yang. Any gas leaks?”
“Hib. That was the last one.”
“Ah, the flow shouldn’t be interrupted.
Shall we just eat?”
Deacon Kim smiled softly at Lim Kkeok-jeong, who grumbled over the undercooked meat.
“Then you can’t.”
And the next moment, two things happened simultaneously.
right!
Butler Kim snapped his fingers.
Whoa!
Warm heat radiated out. The blue flames shot up precisely over the fire plate, quickly heating up the plate and cooking the meat before disappearing.
“This… … “Me and Lim Kkeok-jeong shouted without asking who came first.
“Wizard!”
“It was very well done!”
“why? Taekyung, you eat quickly too.”
It’s okay, you bastard. I shook my head.
Rather than that, I would have thought Butler Kim was a wizard. Somehow it felt strange.
“I forgot.”
Butler Kim picked up a piece of well-cooked meat.
“I had no intention of cheating. As I said, I am already retired.”
what is sediment If Deacon Kim retires, half of the magicians currently active should have their heads pierced.
‘At least B grade or higher.’
The control is also sophisticated enough to summon a flame with the flick of a finger and properly grill the meat without burning or undercooking it. Judging by the circumstances, before his retirement, he must have been a member of the Ares Guild.
If it was a person who was active during the cataclysm.
‘… … Is this a giant?’
In addition to that, he is a distant presidential senior.
I asked cautiously.
“Hey, by any chance, where did the Hunter Training Center come from?”
“I came to Nonsan. How about Taekyung?”
“omg. I am also from Nonsan. 1st Battalion, 28th Regiment.”
“is it so? It’s a coincidence. I was in the 1st Battalion of the 28th Regiment. What company are you from?”
“Two times.”
“It’s not a coincidence, it seems to be a relationship.
haha.”
Needless to say I got up from my seat and bent my back.
“Nice to meet you, senior.”
There is a saying that Korea is related to school, regionalism, and blood. Same goes for Hunter.
Awakening chance is 0.1%. It is about one in a thousand, and because of this slim probability, it is rare for acquaintances in society to awaken. The seemingly insignificant Hunter Training Center is the starting point of networking.
“What else is this? Sit.”
“You can speak comfortably.”
“I don’t ask for that??… .
At that time, butler Kim and I were creating a warm atmosphere between seniors and juniors, team leader Choi, who had been watching quietly, interrupted.
“Deacon Kim. How about doing what Jin Tae-kyung said?”
Have you ever seen a guy with no hair like this?
Dare to say this to the president… … .
Mmm, I can.’
Come to think of it, Choi is more of a big player. Because he uses a mage from the Ares Guild as his butler.
‘What kind of family is this.’
Is your grandfather the president and your father the prime minister?
As the curiosity grew, Team Manager Choi continued.
“At this point, we should sort out the names.
Your name is the face of our guild, but until when can’t you call me butler or uncle?”
After thinking for a while, Deacon Kim replied.
“I will follow your words, Master.”
Team leader Choi nodded and looked at the audience with stern eyes.
“Then, from now on, the titles for Deacon Kim will be unified as Guild Leader.
Do you have any objections?”
Lim Kkeok-jeong and Songi answered.
“Oh, it kills the taste of meat. Is it because it was baked with magic?”
“The alcohol goes in. alcohol! Liquor Liquor!”
Team leader Choi, who stared at the two with remorseful eyes, turned his gaze to me. I was holding one arm up proudly.
“What does that mean?”
“I have a question for you.”
At least this guy is better. Chief Choi said with such a face.
“Please speak.”
“Wasn’t Team Leader Choi the guild leader?”
With a betrayed expression on his face, Team Leader Choi took out something from his pocket and handed it to him.
I took it and looked it up and it was a business card.
“I have this.”
“What does it say?”
“Peace Guild 1st team leader Choi Min-woo.”
“yes. This is the team leader.”
”ah.”
“Deacon Kim is the guild leader. I’m the chief.
The other three are team members. Do you understand now?”
I don’t know if Butler Kim is the pants manager or the face madam, but I nodded my head. If I don’t do that, I think I’ll be Team Leader Choi.
“Did the others understand?”
Team leader Choi’s question was answered by Lim Kkeok-jeong and Songi.
“Yeah, the taste of alcohol is also killing me. Isn’t it because you don’t want meat grilled with magic?”
“How long are you going to make me dance on my shoulders? You’re dislocated. Dislocation! Dislocated!”
“……”
Hey, are you crying?
