Episode 91. Wearing a new ring
“Okay! Let’s talk comfortably from now on.”
Seo-hyung Gu and I made a simple verbal promise.
If that’s the case, then I’ve got a trustworthy enchanter, so I think things will be smooth sailing from now on…
***
Two days later.
-Crackle crackle.
A temporary workshop for the old type.
Kiryun is currently sitting on the spare workbench here, watching the enchantment in progress.
I was also interested in Earth’s magic.
First of all, the sorcerer himself said that the work would be finished today.
“Whew!”
“Hey, take it easy~”
He encouraged the enchanter and waited for her work to be completed.
-Knock knock knock.
But why is this happening?
They received an unexpected visitor.
“Is there a sheep inside?”
“Yes, please come in.”
“Haha. Then excuse me for a moment.”
He’s an older man with gray hair.
It looks familiar somehow… … .
‘ah.’
Since I often watch the news, it was relatively easy to figure out who the other person was.
‘It’s the president of the association!’
The guest’s identity is none other than the president of the Hunter Association.
And the five people who came in with him were his attendants.
‘This is my first time seeing the real thing!’
But the problem is… … .
The person who is the president of that association brought a somewhat difficult agenda.
“Ms. Seo-hyung, this is the Japanese reinforcement request document we talked about yesterday. Do you see the units written on it?”
“Oh, yes.”
“This is the equivalent of this in yen. If you convert it to our currency… … .”
“I know. I know… But I can’t do it for you right now, right?”
They soon started to have a small fight.
“Hahaha. Why are young people so hasty? Just listen to the whole story.”
The main speaker of the conversation was the president of the association.
He tried to persuade Gu Seo-hyeong by citing various grounds.
The Japanese side is in a situation where they need to receive reinforcements as soon as possible to attack the important gate.
If we delay any longer, we might lose these good conditions to Sweden… … .
“No!”
But Gu Seo-hyung never gave up.
No matter how insignificant the equipment is.
This was an act of repaying my lifelong benefactor, and it was also my first memorable enchantment.
“Why would I kick all the scouts out and come under the association?”
“that is…….”
“Have you already forgotten the terms of the contract? Yes?”
Gu Seo-hyung was determined to give priority to Kim Ki-ryeo’s request no matter the cost.
“I want to be guaranteed the freedom to choose my commissions!”
Besides, what if you suffer a loss right now?
She was the first enchanter in Asia.
That is, a situation where the mere existence of something will bring benefits to the country in the future.
“Can you really say no to a request from me, the president of the association?”
“Yes. I’m sorry.”
Now she had enough strength to make her point.
“Hehehe, then what… … .”
The only enchanter that appears like that, what can they do?
The president of the association licked his lips in disappointment at Gu Seo-hyung’s stubborn refusal.
But there was no further pressure. He prepared to leave quietly, gathering up the documents he had brought.
“hey!”
And at this time.
A spark has been unnecessarily fired at the Awakened who had been quiet until now.
“Hey, you too, get out quickly.”
“Yes? Me?”
“You can’t just barge into an enchanter’s workshop like this. Outsiders need permission.”
Shhh.

The association president gestured absentmindedly toward the man leaning against the desk.
Of course, when Gu Seo-hyung saw this, he told him not to send Gi-ryeo away, saying that he was okay with it… .
“All right.”
Kiria nodded and followed the other person’s instructions.
Anyway, there is nothing to be gained by talking back to those in power over trivial matters.
‘Oh, it’s actually warmer outside.’
A very wise move indeed.
But it’s really ironic.
This docile attitude of Gi-ryeo ended up opening the prelude to conflict… … .
.
.
.
It must have been a few seconds since I came out into the hallway.
“Young man over there!”
Kiryun turned her head at the sound of a call coming from behind her, and there stood the wrinkled-faced president of the association.
“What is your hunter rank?”
At first, I revealed my rank without much thought because he asked me in a rather gentle voice.
“It’s class F.”
“What? F-class?”
But as soon as the association president learned of Kim Ki-ryeo’s rank, the atmosphere changed.
If what I say is true, then the precious Enchanter is currently spending his efforts on a low-level Awakener.
“Oh my, really!”
The association president said with a frown on his face.
“No, look at this. Do you know how much damage the country is suffering because of one person?”
“yes?”
“Once a beginner enchanter finishes strengthening, they won’t be able to use their skills for two weeks. That’s a lot of time even after the important gate closes.”
“… … !”
“So I just lost a big contract right in front of my eyes… … .”
Even S-class characters often can’t receive reinforcements due to the cooldown of the enchanter’s unique ability.
What kind of ridiculous privilege is this?
“Oh my, even if Miss Seohyung offered to enchant you, you should have declined it if you had any intention of doing so.”
Tsk tsk.
He now clicked his tongue and began to criticize Giryeo.
“Are you going to continue to act like this without any notice?”
“yes?”
“No, if it’s an F-class, you can buy any equipment from the market and use it.”
A completely different attitude from the humble attitude shown to the enchanter.
To be honest, I couldn’t say anything to Gu Seo-hyung directly, so I felt like I was taking my anger out on someone for no reason.
“You were… like that benefactor of Mr. Gu Seo-hyung, right?”
“yes.”
“Then, you can express your gratitude later by receiving money separately. Don’t block the enchanter’s path like this.”
Moreover, the president of the association added some threats between each sentence.
Many of the Hunter Association’s officials are said to be displeased with this matter.
How long do you think that enchanter will take care of the F-class awakened ones?
What followed were sharp warnings to the bottom hunters.
‘hmm.’
But strangely enough, he didn’t seem upset throughout the entire conversation.
‘Now that I hear it, it’s true, isn’t it?’
Because I also understood this situation.
‘There’s nothing wrong with that. The equipment I’m entrusting to you is cheap, so it’s better to just convert it into money rather than getting enchantments.’
Kim Ki-ryeo didn’t get angry at things that were basically reasonable.
No, rather, I was the type of person who would accept something faster than anyone else if the logic was sound.
So, after much thought, he came up with this suggestion.
“Oh, then should I go and tell them to stop strengthening right now?”
A statement that 100% reflects the opinion of the association president!
But at this point, there are a few things we need to point out.
Kim Ki-ryeo was born with a fierce appearance.
Also, because it always had a characteristic of being expressionless unless you consciously controlled it yourself.
“her?”
For a number of reasons, Kiryeo’s remarks ended up being significantly distorted.
“What, are you threatening to go and tell Gu Seo-hyung right now?”
From the perspective of the association president, all he saw was a scary-looking young man speaking with a stiff expression on his face.
“Hey, you’ve got a good friend here, so you’re trying to act like an enchanter yourself!”
The association president thought that the awakened person in front of him was provoking him by mentioning his friendship with Gu Seo-hyung.
What could be more upsetting than this?
How can someone so young and so lowly as to treat the head of the association like this?
‘You bald bastard!’
The association president blushed in anger.
Even at this moment, in his mind, Kim Ki-ryeo was just an F-class person who could be treated with impunity.
“uh?”
But at that time.
Whoosh.
The man with three hundred eyes who was facing this side suddenly turns his head to one side.
‘Look at this guy. He’s talking to someone right now, so where is his eyes… .’
The association president was so shocked that he tried to say something to the other person, but then he ended up keeping his mouth shut.
‘Ugh!’
A mysterious chill runs down my spine.
The president of the association knew the identity of this creepy sensation.
Isn’t this the unique presence that S-class hunters have… …!
“Ahem!”
The association president quickly straightened his expression.
But I couldn’t help but be surprised again by the person who appeared before my eyes.
‘Huh? That guy here?’
Thud thud.
What appeared with heavy footsteps was none other than Korea’s third S-class.
Kang Chang-ho.
To elaborate, he was an Awakened One who was unusually uncooperative with the Association, and even he had difficulty seeing him in person.
“greatness.”
The president of the association personally finds Kang Chang-ho uncomfortable.
No, it doesn’t have to be the president of the association, anyone would do that.
That S-class not only had omnipotent power, but also had a personality that was completely uncontrollable.
“Ahem, anyway, what I mean is… … .”
The association president tried to naturally ignore Kang Chang-ho.
But they just wouldn’t let it go.
“Kim Ki-ryeo!”
Because he came to meet the F-class in the hallway.
“What, why are you here again?”
“I see you’ve been stamping your attendance card at the association every day lately. Just to confirm.”
The association president was astonished at the sight that followed.
Why does Kang Chang-ho pretend to know F-Class?
What on earth is that F-class that treats an S-class so comfortably…?
“Would it be okay if I came?”
“It’s a bit burdensome.”
“hmm.”
“Anyway, if you’ve checked everything, you can go now. Common sense tells you that there’s nothing dangerous here.”
The association president saw them talking freely and felt that something was wrong.
So I tried to sneak away, but even that wasn’t easy.
“really.”
Bam.
In that short period of time, Kang Chang-ho caught one of the association president’s attendants.
“By the way, I heard some interesting noises coming from these guys earlier.”
To be exact, he only placed his arm on the shoulder of the attendant, but how many Awakened people would be able to resist the brute force of an S-class?
“Hey, Hunter Kang Chang-ho! What, what, what are you doing right now!”
“Kim Ki-ryeo, if I beat up these people here, would you take that necklace off for me?”
The situation quickly escalated to extremes.
The S-class ignored the president’s words and made a creepy sound.
“Hey, Hunter! Please keep a safe distance! Otherwise, we will have no choice but to take action!”
The security guards, trembling with fear, began to protect the president as they had been trained to do.
It was a response that took all the effort I could muster, to the point where it was pitiful.
“okay?”
Even that felt like a small sand castle to this S-class.
“Ugh… … !”
But at this critical moment, a certain F-class began to speak in a calm voice.
“Excuse me. Mr. Kang Chang-ho.”
What followed was a sight I could never have imagined.
“Okay, then go.”
Who would have thought that someone at the bottom of the hunter ecosystem would sort things out so easily!
When Kim Ki-ryeo pointed out with a weary face, the S-class immediately reacted.
“Take off your necklace. Stop talking nonsense and please go home… .”
“Why are you so anxious that you can’t get rid of me?”
“I heard that an acquaintance of mine is coming soon. And he is quite uncomfortable when he sees you.”
Kang Chang-ho releases his attendant.
The association president sighed in belated relief as he fiddled with his defensive items.
Unfortunately, the shocking incident did not end there.
“Oh my, this is so.”
Whoosh.
Immediately afterwards, Kim Ki-ryeo turns his gaze to the end of the hallway again.
“It’s not even the appointed time and you’re already here.”
Because a new Awakened person has entered this building.
Thud thud.
A clean-cut skinhead. A piercing nestled in the bridge of his nose. And that distinctive body shape.
“older brother!”
He was Ahn Yoon-seung, the defense-type A-class hunter that the Neo Sisters Guild was proud of.
“How have you been last week?”
In addition, as soon as he appeared, he bowed 90 degrees to Kim Ki-ryeo.
