Recruitment Fraud(3)
“No, think about it.”
It was easy to trick a naive, inexperienced graduate student.
I carefully chose my words while looking at Gamble, who was only looking at me. In the first place, this was not a place where we gathered to have a peaceful conversation. Just looking at where you sit, it’s the same. Me, Hong Seok-young, Mi-seon Lee, and Chae-min Kim are on one side, and Gamble is sitting alone on the other side.
This is just an interrogation. That’s why they tremble like that even at the slightest movement.
“Isn’t that what Hope designated?”
So I smiled as softly as I could. As if to say it won’t hurt you.
“Oliver Hope, Chen Yijun, and you. “I don’t think he would have expressed his personality in a broad way, but rather he would have designated just those three people and placed a condition on them as long as they were alive.”
“uh… .”
Gamble did not deny it. The anxiety on his face did not go away. Rather, it increased.
good night. Just because he won’t harm me doesn’t mean that Gamble is strong in this position.
No matter how kind I try to be, that doesn’t change. That kindness is something that Gamble is even more wary of. Because there is no reason to be kind. Didn’t they already give in and let Gamble move on without asking what he was hiding?
“Then Michelle knows you. “Hope is holding on, so she won’t approach.”
“… … .”
“But it would be unpleasant.”
Gamble pursed his lips.
“Because it created unwanted restrictions. Since I ordered it from above, I have no choice but to follow it… .”
Gamble didn’t say no to what I said. It was confirmed that there was someone on top of Michelle. Well, I guessed it, but I wasn’t happy that I figured it out.
“Even so, it may be a thorn in the side, but in order to gain influence… What did you say you were doing? “You’re starting a company?”
“… “I am confident that I will raise it well.”
“That could be true.”
Gamble turns Paros into a global conglomerate. That future is as certain as Park Seo-hyun becoming a great wizard.
However, unlike what he assured Park Seo-hyun, he did not instill such confidence in Gamble.
“It could be ruined.”
Instead of Gamble blinking, Lee Mi-seon was the first to notice. Mi-seon Lee looked at me and opened her eyes wide. If you leave her alone, she will definitely get involved. When she glanced at Hong Seok-young, Hong Seok-young quickly blocked Lee Mi-seon.
Sandra Gamble is in front of me, so are you going to hand this over to Lee Mi-sun?
“But haven’t you ever thought about that?”
“yes… yes?”
“If you become big enough to catch Michelle’s attention, should I leave you alone?”
“… … .”
“As long as three humans are alive, no work is done. In other words, without those three people, there are no obstacles.”
If it were me, I would have killed him.
Because it’s fast.
There are many ways to kill someone. Even if Michel doesn’t step forward, he has plenty of means to deal with someone like Semblum. Can Hope stop all of that?
Well, we don’t know what conditions were exchanged because they weren’t told to us. If Hope had any idea, she would have prevented Michelle’s deception.
“That’s why I’m trying to step into a position where I can get people’s attention.”
“Don’t let them kill you carelessly?”
Gamble nodded with unwavering eyes.
I grinned.
“So please join our guild.”
“we… ?”
“yes. “I also belong to Hong Hunter’s guild.”
“ah… “But I heard that Hunter Seokyoung Hong is a one-person guild.”
It is said that Hong Seok-young had been preparing for contact since he was chasing the Ark, so he must have known that much.
Hong Seok-young, who was blocking Lee Mi-seon, quietly intervened.
“Now it’s a two-person guild. “This is my student.”
… Let’s be thankful that they didn’t call him son. Lee Mi-seon and Kim Chae-min were seen with their eyes wide open.
I ignored it.
“Disciple?!”
“Since when?”
I ignored it.
“Why, didn’t you hear what Taekyung Han said last time? “Heejae said that his movements are the same as mine.”
“ah. iced coffee. That? no way?”
“I watched his movements from time to time before, and he followed along well.”
Hong Seok-young skillfully answered Mi-seon Lee’s questions. Lee Mi-seon and Kim Chae-min know that I am from Ark.
“Isn’t there a lot of work that you do for me for various reasons? In that case, I thought it would be better to just make him a disciple. “I also added him to my guild.”
“He said he would never take on any disciples for the rest of his life.”
“I have kids too. “They are also disciples in their own way.”
“You’re not talking about that disciple…” .”
Lee Mi-seon looked at me with strange eyes. She often worked with Hong Seok-young, so Lee Mi-sun would know how strange this situation was.
“Oh my… . So now should I show off to Teacher Woo? “What if you are Teacher Hong’s student?”
Maybe Kim Chae-min too.
It was also ignored.
Because it’s important to finish the story with Gamble.
Gamble frowned.
“I think Michelle will be more suspicious if I join Hong Seok-young Hunter’s guild. “She said she doesn’t like Hunter Hong Seok-young.”

“I’m asking you to be suspicious.”
“yes?”
“If anything happens, everything blows up.”
“Boo, fire… I beg your pardon?”
“I’m telling you everything.”
I spoke slowly, resting my chin. So that Gamble, who doesn’t seem to be used to conversing in Korean yet, will have no problem understanding it.
“I’m threatening to tell you everything to Hong Seok-young if I see any signs of messing with the three people that Hope suggested.”
“Threat… “Yes.”
Gamble quietly followed what I said. It’s a pretty cold face.
“If Michelle really uses her hands, it will be easy to protect you. “I don’t know how Hope moves through space like that, but he can’t always be by your side, right?”
“Yes, but.”
“Wouldn’t you like to see up close how we deal with the Ark and Noah Michel?”
Gamble’s eyes wavered.
“You don’t want to get involved directly?”
“… … “Are you trying to tempt me now?”
“Rather than temptation… .”
scout?
If I say I’m doing this because I’m jealous of your research results.
hmm.
I’m not sure if the reason I handed over the research materials to Lee Mi-seon was because I was confident in my research, or if it was because I wasn’t confident and wanted confirmation. Because this Sandra Gamble is unknown territory to me.
For lack of better words to describe it, I just agreed.
“you’re right. “It’s a temptation.”
“… … .”
“Looking at how well Museon was hidden, it seems like he wasn’t without any means. “After looking at the data I handed over to Hunter Lee, I can roughly understand how he plans to grow the company.”
Gamble opened his mouth.
I reached out to Hong Seok-young. Seokyoung Hong gave me the file he had prepared.
“Sell Hong Seok-young’s name and do whatever you want. “Honestly, I think this is a losing business.”
Honestly.
The name may be Hong Seok-young, head of the Korea Ability Management Agency, but Hunter Hong Seok-young’s name value is much lower than Pharos’s Sandra Gamble. It’s not that Hunter Hong Seok-young’s achievements are lacking, but that Sandra Gamble was that outstanding of a person.
However, only Hong Seok-young and I know what kind of big name Sandra Gamble will become in the future.
I said it myself. The current Sandra Gamble is a poor engineering student whose life has been difficult due to her mistaken involvement with a monster.
No matter how genius you are, when you start from the bottom, the name of a worthy person becomes disappointing.
I threw another bait.
“And here, that person.”
He pointed to Lee Mi-seon.
“You know who it is, right?”
“… … .”
“He’s a master of Daseon. “I believe you know who is behind Da-seon.”
Dayeon’s reputation is also greater than that of Hong Seok-young. Is there any way that she can be pushed aside? This is also a large company that is famous all over the world.
“If you join our guild, you can enjoy everything.”
“No, I’m joining Hong Hunter’s guild, but why are Da-seon and Da-yeon involved?!”
“You don’t want to do it?”
Who recognized the value of Gamble’s research at a glance?
When Lee Mi-seon was momentarily speechless, Kim Chae-min raised her hand. She would have recognized Kim Chae-min if she had eyes since she was a wizard.
Besides, why was Lee Mi-seon talking so much? He said he wanted to take Gamble with him.
“Then I will do it!”
“For your information, this is Archmage Kim Chae-min. Druid attributes… .”
“Oh, I know. The 3rd great wizard… .”
While I was at the pension, I was half-conscious and forgot about life, but Kim Chae-min is also a world-renowned wizard.
… If you think about it, the teachers at the pilot high school were extravagant. The second thing to consider is whether he is a good teacher.
“It’s a surplus business.”
Gamble’s eyes are rolling. I opened the file and pushed the paper inside towards Gamble.
It was a document intentionally written only in Korean. They say they’re good at conversation, but they don’t know how to read. Even if you can read well, it will be more uncomfortable than reading in your native language.
I held out a ballpoint pen.
Gamble looked at the paper and the pen in turn, then looked up at me.
“Just read it and sign at the bottom.”
Gamble looked at the paper again. It felt like the letters written at the top were somehow glowing.
Employment contract.
The cost of money taken from Paros every year makes my heart beat. How could you forget that number even without looking at the report saved on your watch?
This time, let me put myself in the position of being ripped off.
You have to have that level of compensation for it to be interesting to work.

A week later.
Nantes, France.
!%Q&_ hung on the railing and knocked on the window. The magic barrier violently pushed away the unauthorized intruder, but he didn’t care. Magical power as sharp as a saw blade grazed my skin, but it didn’t leave a single scratch. Red hair mixed with bleached white hair was flying wildly.
Alex Hope knocked on the window again.
This time I also raised my voice.
“Noah, I know you’re not sleeping.”
“… … .”
“Just open it and go in?”
Only then did I hear a shout from inside. Through the glass, only an empty living room was visible, but when a white hand unlocked the lock and opened the window, a completely different scene from what was seen outside unfolded.
It smells like an old book. Lights glowing softly in orange light, the scent of coffee, and the low sound of a piano.
A woman with golden hair flowing like a waterfall greeted guests with a bright smile.
“Oh my, I can’t believe you came to visit me in person like this. I don’t know what to do, fairy. Are you giving me new teeth?”
“I’m not the Tooth Fairy…” . Have you lost any teeth? You’ve gotten older too. “I heard that humans lose all their teeth as they get older.”
Hope said as if she felt sorry.
“But I heard that old humans don’t grow new teeth. Has it been that long already, Noah?”
“… … .”
“Would you like me to introduce you to someone I know so I can get a new tooth? If you look somewhere, you’ll find a guy with lots of teeth. If you sign a contract with him and exchange parts… .”
“What brings you here, fairy?”
“huh. “I want to tell you something about Sandra.”
“Sandra… .”
The woman’s eyes glowed darkly. Hope snapped his fingers in front of him.
“Uh huh. I told you not to make those eyes in front of me. Pull it out?”
“… You told us to get along well. Are you willing to rebel?”
“no way. Just pull it out and put it back in. “It’s much better than yours now!”
Hope laughed. She didn’t care that the woman’s face turned cold.
Hope laughed for a while and opened her mouth again only after the sound of the piano in the room stopped.
“Anyway, Sandra got the job?”
“… Getting a job. “Did you come all the way here to personally inform me of the employment news of the fairy’s favorite human?”
“I thought it would be good for you to know.”
“Me?”
“huh. “The candidate for human savior is the boss.”
“… … … Hong Seok-young?”
“huh.”
A chilly wind blew. Hope kicked the floor with her toe.
“It’s a warning, Noah. Stay calm. “Don’t touch my human.”
“… … .”
“Since you pushed me in front of a savior candidate, shouldn’t you give me back too? Moreover, Se-mi attacked me again without any reward for saving me, and she died. You really don’t have eyes to see. Why do you take a kid like that with you? After all, wouldn’t it be a good idea to replace those eyes?”
Hope grabbed the woman’s hair and let go. Her gestures were gentle, but her golden eyes were cold.
“You know what I mean, right?”
“… … .”
“You have to answer, Noah.”
“… … yes.”
“okay. Being dissatisfied with something the king has permitted is self-indulgence. “Let’s do our best before I ask for punishment, shall we?”
“… … .”
“Noah.”
“yes. “I will be careful, fairy.”
“okay. “How great!”
Hope smiled broadly.
“Then I’ll go!”
Without getting an answer, Hope kicked the floor and disappeared like she always did.
“… … .”
The woman looked at the spot where Hope had disappeared for a while and then went inside. Her interrupted piano playing began again, and the sound of the closed window being locked was heard.
and.
Wow!!!!
There was a loud sound of something breaking.
“With a temperament.”
Hope clicked her tongue while standing on the railing. The fairy, who had been listening to the sounds coming from inside, shook his head and this time truly left.
