I Will Save the World and Retire Chapter 117

Favorite disciple (4)

“hello. “I came for a re-examination.”

The grade reexamination process is simple.

Unlike awakening registration, it can only be done at city hall and provincial offices, so the process of getting there is the most cumbersome. Grading is even possible on weekends as it is organized by the International Association for the Performing Arts.

The employee sitting at the counter spoke matter-of-factly to my words.

“hello. Are you here for a re-examination? Could you show me the license first? And your ID card.”

Lee Mi-seon made it and gave me the license and ID card that Hong Seok-young gave me. In fact, I even imagined that they might have given me a fake, but that wasn’t the case.

“It has been confirmed. The grade re-examination takes place in three stages. The first is a horsepower pressure test, and the second is a combat test. The last one is a simple personality test. “This is just a formality, so you don’t have to worry.”

The employee explained while looking at the monitor.

“see… . Sir, you have almost no record of conquering dungeons? “This may take a long time to test.”

“yes.”

Is there anything wrong with it being longer? Hunters who came this far won’t go back just because they don’t have time.

But I am different.

“Things like the horsepower test will be over quickly, but… .”

“it’s okay.”

I handed out the documents I had brought with me.

It is a magic that miraculously reduces the re-examination time.

“Teacher, this is…” ?”

“These are letters of recommendation from active hunters.”

“A letter of recommendation?”

The employee opened his eyes wide and checked the documents.

Hunter rating is a type of comprehensive evaluation. Simply being able to withstand the horsepower pressure generated when passing through the gate does not mean you can increase it.

No, that’s the standard, but what a waste of manpower it is if you blindly increase your grade and then get massacred by monsters. The grade reexamination was a kind of indication that at this level, you would not die right away upon entering this grade dungeon.

So secondly, the time for combat testing becomes longer. Usually, you check your skills based on the dungeons you conquer or the monsters you kill.

However, as the office staff said, I have no records of dungeon raids. All Lee Mi-seon added to save face was when she issued my license. Among them, the only dungeon I went into was the Pixie Dungeon that the kids conquered.

If you follow the procedure, you have to go through a complicated process. But this letter of recommendation I brought. If it is a guarantee from a famous hunter with public trust, the process is somewhat omitted.

Now that I think about it, I entered the Pixie Dungeon as a director with a low rating due to my performance, and I thought it would be a problem if I raised the rating like this. Hong Seok-young answered cheerfully.

‘It’s already been reflected, so there’s no problem. All you have to do is not get caught.’

It’s a criminal act by the future director of the Ability Management Agency… .

Since I’m not the head of the department right now, let’s pretend not to know.

“Uh, uh… .”

The employee gaped when he saw the name written on the recommendation.

What makes it worth it is that I brought more than just one letter of recommendation. First of all, the names of Hong Seok-young and Lee Mi-seon are written down. Chaemin Kim also wrote a letter of recommendation, even though he muttered that he wouldn’t be able to help since he was a wizard. It doesn’t help. Who wouldn’t believe the Grand Wizard’s assurance?

“Now, just a moment. “Are you really saying these are the people?”

“yes. Is there a problem?”

“No, it’s not a problem… wait a minute!”

The office worker jumped up and ran inside. I shrugged my shoulders.

Although not as good as Hong Seok-young or Kim Chae-min, Lee Mi-seon was also famous. For reasons related to Dayeon rather than skill. Now that I know Lee Mi-seon’s identity, I wonder if that reputation was spread intentionally.

Still, Lee Mi-seon is not without ability, and Da-seon is also a guild with a high success rate. Actually, Lee Mi-seon alone was enough.

There was no need for Hong Seok-young to come forward.

Originally, I was planning to leave out Kim Chae-min’s letter of recommendation as well. However, I couldn’t throw away the letter of recommendation Hong Seok-young handed me, saying he had prepared it in advance. Especially at a time like now when people keep throwing meaningless words at me.

So in the end, I published all three.

Anyway, if I meet Alex Hope on the forum, he’ll recognize me. I guess I tried hard to find out who I was. There won’t be any records of me inside the ark anyway, so I’ll just be wasting my time.

It must be frustrating for those guys. It seems like he’s definitely from a research lab, but there’s nothing left.

“Hello, teacher.”

Instead of the employee who went in earlier, someone who seemed to have a higher rank came out.

“Is there a problem?”

“It’s not a problem… “I guess the people who wrote the letters of recommendation are very famous.”

“Yes. I understand that it takes time to confirm. “If you contact Guild Daseon, they will guide you.”

“Hmm. You must verify the authenticity of the original letter of recommendation. If you don’t mind, how did you find out? ?”

“hmm.”

I moaned briefly.

“I don’t know if you know, but Hunter Hong is running a school as a pilot.”

“iced coffee. “I’ve heard of it.”

“Because I’m teaching students there.”

“Students?”

“yes. and… .”

I don’t want to say much.

It’s not an emotional issue about what my father is going to do… It was a word I didn’t want to say out loud.

But it can also be said to be my disguised identity… Because it was set up that way in the first place… .

shit. This is why you must be careful when signing an employment contract.

If Lee Mi-seon had asked if he would join their guild, would he have been able to change guilds?

I regretted it later.

I sighed and tried to dry my face. It seems strange to be so distraught about revealing one’s guild.

Still, I couldn’t stop the sigh from escaping.

“Hong Hunter’s guild… “Because I’m an employee of Mimi.”

* * *

A letter of recommendation with three letters of Hong Seok-young’s name worked magic.

The horsepower pressure test was completed the fastest since it was measured by a machine. As Hong Seok-young requested, we finished at A level.

What about personality… Honestly, I need to change this to mental emotion. What can you find out with a formal aptitude test? This time, Hong Seok-young has established a management office, and if he can help, he must first fix the institutional problems. Hunters should also be able to receive counseling and treatment, and not be treated as if they are bombs that could explode at any time like they are now. Who knows whether the next Park Seo-hyun or Oh Hyun-wook will be born?

“Thank you for your effort. “The results will be notified to you via text message within 15 days.”

I came out of the provincial office.

The street scene is unfamiliar. It was like something you see in old movies. The signs of stores and the way people dress.

I walked slowly.

At first, I asked Chaemin Kim, and unlike her grumpy response, Chaemin excitedly asked me what car I would like to ride this time.

It was I who rejected Kim Chae-min.

If I had been a little more shameless, I would have continued to ask Kim Chae-min, but I wasn’t so bad as to take care of a wizard who was tired due to territorial issues. Then, if something happens, someone has to take care of it.

I was bitten by the multi-line hunters who offered to take me to the provincial office, and it was the first time in a long time that I used public transportation.

When I think about it, this is the first time I have been alone like this in the past.

It’s different from staying in the dorm after classes at the pilot high school. At that time, there was a magic control tool, and Hong Seok-young called it whenever he was bored. She often ran into students when she left the dormitory.

There is nothing now. Nothing stops me, not even people who know me.

“… … .”

Walking the streets of twenty years ago.

Should I run away like this?

Even if it is Hong Seok-young, it is difficult to find someone who has disappeared out of sight. It may be difficult for him to go abroad from Korea, but if you look for it, there is no way. Once you succeed in going abroad, it will be easy to disappear into hiding.

Go to a place where no one knows me… Enjoying twenty years of grace.

At least in that life, you won’t have a father, a student, or a younger sibling to take care of.

Will it be similar to the retirement life I dreamed of?

Quiet, secluded, peaceful days.

I closed my eyes.

I opened my eyes.

The scenery in front of me did not change.

My father also lived to be almost seventy. Then shouldn’t I live at least until that age? Hunter average lifespan is 120 years. He doesn’t feel unfair if he lives at least half that amount.

Besides, early retirement is no fun. There is no pension.

Let’s go back.

To a place where there is a father who is not a father, and a younger brother who is not a younger brother.

… Well, I’m being generous. I have some strange things and work colleagues.

Not home, but the closest place to home.

I kicked a rock rolling around in the street. The rock that rolled around fell into the sewer.

* * *

When we returned to the pension, it was already dark. It took more time to come and go than it took to reexamine.

I didn’t think much of it when I left, but when it came time to come, I wondered if I should have asked someone else. Chaemin Kim is right. He needs to get his license.

“Lee Rok?”

As soon as I arrived at the pension, I first looked for Mini Me.

When I told her that I had to go out, Mini-Me got very nervous. She may have thought she would just leave and disappear.

However, I will only be back after a re-examination, and I will also be taking my mini-me with me. I left my grumbling Mini-me behind, wondering if she would have to hang out with other people without me.

“Lee Rok.”

“huh.”

Uirok sat on the sofa and didn’t even look at me.

Still, you answered the second question.

“You’re here, but you’re not going to say hello?”

“huh.”

The way he answered wasn’t cute, though.

“Lee Rok… “What are you looking at?”

“huh.”

“… … .”

Was it because I was distracted by what I was seeing?

I sighed and walked over to Mini Me. Mini Me didn’t take her eyes off her tablet. The tablet screen… .

“… … .”

Why is that damn pink cat over there?

The cat on the bonnet of Han Tae-kyung’s car is dancing with a brown-haired girl.

“Lee Rok.”

“… huh? “Brother, when did you come?”

Could this be the kid who kicked my shin just this morning to tell me not to leave him alone?

“no… “Is that fun?”

“Huh, huh. Well, it’s not that fun, but I’m just watching.”

“… “Did a teacher show it to you?”

“I’m bored so please watch…” .”

Damn cat. Damn Taekyung Han.

“okay… .”

I braced my chin to keep from frowning at my mini-me. Still, Mini Me seemed to have seen something in my face.

I just noticed.

Before I knew it, the screen that had been paused was moving again. The pink cat was crying pitifully, nuzzling its cheek against the girl’s leg.

Me, me, that abomination!

I left my mini-me, who was so engrossed in the tablet, as if she were going to use it, and went out to look for Han Tae-kyung. I don’t know who to be angry with. The Daseon Hunters who agreed to look after Mini Me? Lee Mi-seon? Or Kim Chae-min?

I’d appreciate it if you could look at it, but I didn’t ask you to leave me with Han Tae-kyung… !

“Ah, Teacher Wu.”

“… “What is it?”

“Talk to me for a moment.”

But I was interrupted again. The timing is suspiciously good.

Hong Seok-young twitched the tip of his chin, telling me to follow him.

Hong Seok-young walked slowly and opened his mouth.

“I originally planned to wait.”

“… “What do you mean?”

“But now that I think about it, it’s not a situation where I can be that relaxed.”

If Hong Seok-young’s insensitivity to safety has improved, this is welcome news.

“There was a rumor that Alex Hope was the boss of the Ark for a while, but there is no way such a rumor would spread when there is nothing… Wouldn’t it be right to think of him as at least an executive?”

“I guess so.”

“So I thought it would be a good idea to prepare my cards in advance.”

“Isn’t that why I raised your grade?”

“It’s one of them. “One of the cards I was thinking of.”

This guy, has he thought about it again?

Hong Seok-young stopped only when he reached the corner of the pension, a quiet hallway away from the living space. There is no one around. Nevertheless, she meticulously checked to see if Hong Seok-young was there or not.

This is something that is difficult to see in Hong Seok-young. I became more anxious. Seokyoung Hong, who noticed my expression, shook her head.

“There is no need to be too scared. “I just need to check a few things.”

“… … .”

Hong Seok-young spoke in a cheerful tone. Her voice was as playful as usual, but her eyes were not.

Cold sunken eyes.

No, eyes that look sunken because they are filled with too many emotions. I could see it up close.

It was the first time I had seen the light shining in Hong Seok-young’s eyes. Worries, curiosity, expectations and concerns are all mixed together.

“Teacher Wu. “You mean it.”

“… … .”

Is this also a type of energy fighting that my father used to do? Or is it just one of those words that are still trying to scare me?

“Are you from a few years ago?”

But my father always subverted my expectations.

“I thought I wouldn’t have any disciples. Do you think it will change in the future?”

“… … … … yes?”

“I’m sorry if you startled me like that.”

Hong Seok-young looked at me with a pitiful face.

I didn’t understand Hong Seok-young’s question, and I didn’t understand his expression either.

“Well, think about it.”

what?

what?

What happened?

“Do you know how many dungeons I have conquered?”

A number came to mind for a moment and then I choked. I didn’t think Hong Seok-young wanted an answer.

“How many monsters do you think I’ve killed?”

“… … .”

“finally.”

“… … .”

“How many monsters do you think I’ve killed that claim to be from the future?”
