Career Counseling (1)
It’s unfortunate.
Regardless of which dungeon the sword came from, it would have been nice to have another high-performance sword that hunters around the world drool over.
My original plan was to tell that to Yu Ji-eun, who could be called the owner of the sword.
Of course, since the owner was only sixteen years old, that was going to happen much later. I was planning on giving the sword to little Yu Ji-eun after she learned a little more… and learned a lot more. But something completely unexpected turned out to be a distant thing.
I searched the mud dungeon thoroughly but couldn’t find the sword.
Hong Seok-young joked that he was buried in mud with crocodiles, but his face looked suspicious. I felt the same way.
As Hong Seok-young joked, my sister may have gotten the sword from there. But I know my sister, who Hong Seok-young doesn’t know. It’s a high-performance sword, so she may have used it, but if it really came from there, my sister wouldn’t have treasured it so much.
In that case, it must be as Hong Seok-young said.
As Hong Seok-young said, the blue fire that burned Kim Yu-hwa’s body. That there is someone else who uses my sister’s sword.
The person who is believed to have been with Kim Yu-hwa until her end is… her older brother.
In fact, my brother was the original owner of this sword, and it was passed down to my sister? And I’m using it now?
What the heck is this?
I stopped thinking about it. It is impossible to come up with a clear answer. It is only a loss to me to ponder a problem that has no answer. I just put it aside in a corner of my head and move on to the next thing.
Putting aside the speculation about my brother, the sword… well. If it doesn’t work out, I guess I can just wait a few years. If my sister wasn’t lying, wouldn’t a sword suddenly appear in the dungeon?
“so….”
Having come to a clear conclusion, I faced the next task.
“What’s going on?”
I looked at the boy sitting across from me.
Seo Han-seong is currently under threat for his title as the tallest hunter due to Oh Hyun-wook’s rapid growth. However, this guy is still taller than Bom. It’s only natural for him to be like this during his growth period.
“that is….”
Seo Han-seong opened his mouth calmly.
I heard that he suffered a lot from the guild’s unfair contracts like Oh Hyun-wook, but looking at his neat face, he looks like an ordinary high school student you can see on the street. It could be because of his neatly buttoned up uniform. Among the Hunter High students, only Yoo Hye-eun and Seo Han-seong wear their uniforms all the way to school.
“Well, that’s it. I’m a third year student now.”
A hand fiddling with a tie for no reason. A voice with no ups and downs.
I felt a sense of uneasiness somehow.
It’s like… what should I say? There’s a sense of determination that you feel from a subordinate just before he or she submits his or her resignation.
… … You’re not going to come here now and say you’re going to drop out, are you?
Yeah. It’s been quiet for a while. I thought the jinx that wasn’t really a jinx was over.
“Yeah, right.”
It might be nothing. I answered in the most nonchalant voice possible.
Seo Han-seong took a moment to catch his breath and then continued.
“So I couldn’t help but worry about my future path.”
Course?
A more normal word came out than I was worried about. Yes. It is time to start thinking about it. In fact, it is a bit late.
“yes….”
What kind of kid is Seo Han-seong?
He nodded slightly and thought about Seo Han-seong, whom he had observed for a long time.
I’m really sorry, but honestly, unlike other kids, there wasn’t a characteristic that stood out to me.
A mature child who always watches quietly from one step behind. That’s exactly the impression he gives.
Seo Han-seong as a student seen from a teacher? Seo Han-seong as a hunter seen from an administrative office worker?
It’s the same.
I don’t have a talent that blooms as splendidly as Oh Hyun-wook or Park Seo-hyun. I’m not as flashy as Lee Seung-yeon, and I don’t have rare abilities like Yoo Hye-eun or Choi Jin-woo. I’m not good at clearing dungeons like Han Eun-young either.
Originally, Seo Han-seong was one of the students who dropped out of school after the incident at Myeongdong. In the first place, there are almost no records left of the first class of students of the model high school, except for the two graduates and Lee Seung-yeon… .
Therefore, after quitting the model school, Seo Han-seong’s whereabouts are unknown. There is nothing left even in the database stored in the magic clock. It is likely that his license was canceled because he did not renew it.
Even though the cause was a tragedy, Seo Han-seong in the original timeline may have lived a normal life in a place unrelated to hunters, dungeons, or monsters.
When I think about it that way, I’m not sure if remaining a hunter is a good thing for him or not.
“Oh, the teacher said to come anytime if I have something to say. About my future career path, too…”
“Why are you looking at me?”
“…Can I tell you?”
What are you hesitating for after coming all the way here?
I gave Seo Han-seong a mixed coffee. I have bad memories of green tea.
Of course, I also got my share of coffee.
“… … .”
I think it would be more surprising for me than for him. I carefully placed the coffee on the table.
“Then. I even created a counseling room so you can talk. Do you have anything in mind?”
“… I’m thinking about going to college for now.”
“It’s good.”
It’s really good.
He’s not saying he’s dropping out, nor is he crying that he doesn’t seem capable.
Rather, the fact that he looks straight into my eyes while talking about college makes me seem confident about my future.
I raised my evaluation of Seo Han-seong a little bit.
A guy with a plan for the future can get a little more bang for his buck.
“… Are you going to college?”
“Do you remember what I said when I told you to prepare for the civil service exam?”
“yes.”

“Well, fortunately, this place is recognized as a proper school, so I don’t have to take the GED exam.”
I shrugged.
“You don’t have to become a hunter. But if you tried to become a hunter or entered a dungeon, it becomes experience.”
“That kind of experience is useless if you don’t become a hunter.”
“What are you talking about?”
He was a child who sat there pretending to be an adult, but still knew only one thing and not two.
Not all academy graduates became hunters. There were many graduates who maintained their hunter licenses out of necessity. Well, there were people like that. Hunter human rights lawyers, psychiatrists for hunters, etc.
After all, only the hunter knows the hunter well.
“Don’t you remember what I said last time? I said that it would be easy to run a guild without having to go to a lawyer or a doctor if you have a college degree.”
“……yes.”
Seo Han-seong was surprised by my words, but he quickly calmed down.
“You said you wanted to go to college, right? Is there a department you want to go to?”
“that is….”
Seo Han-seong now began to hesitate strangely.
There was no way I could tell him to hurry up and talk, so I just waited calmly. At least Seo Han-seong didn’t cry and say he was quitting school. I was satisfied with that.
Seo Han-seong opened his mouth after sipping his coffee, which was still hot rather than warm.
“So… that’s what’s worrying me.”
“What course should I take?”
“…yes.”
This is truly a concern typical of students at this age.
Yeah. I have to do something, but I may not know what I want to do. I decided on my career path relatively quickly, but… nothing went according to plan. I originally had no intention of becoming a hunter, and I certainly had no intention of working for the administration.
Of course, I wouldn’t tell my life’s enlightenment to a bright-eyed eighteen-year-old. It’s better to keep your dreams for the future for a little longer.
“Is there anything you’re interested in?”
“Uh… that’s it.”
“Start with that. If it’s hard to figure out what you want to do, you need to figure out what you like first.”
“Yes. But.”
“Especially if you’re not going to be a hunter….”
“Oh, no! I’m going to do that as a hunter!”
Seo Han-seong intervened urgently.
“Are you going to be a hunter?”
“Yes! College is just, what should I say? Upping your specs?”
hmm.
A completely unexpected word came out of Seo Han-seong’s mouth.
Spec up?
What are you trying to do?
“…For what?”
So I asked.
Seo Han-seong’s calm face became filled with impatience. Seo Han-seong rolled his eyes and spoke.
“I, I, I want to work under this hunter… Aunt Seungyeon.”
“Multiple choice?”
It’s a multi-line.
If you can get in, it’s not a bad choice. The hunters who come and go from Hunter High School are already the hunters of the previous line. I’m not sure if they entered the previous line first or worked at the association first.
It’s not a job that I can say I want to do, even in empty words, when I see people dying from working part-time jobs… .
If you limit it to guild multi-elections, not associations, it’s not a bad choice, it’s good. It’s very good. There are some who say things like it’s a guild established with Dayeon’s money, or a guild that only has a lot of money, but that’s just the babbling of jealous people. How much is Dayeon’s support money for multi-elections?
Rather, it is well-known overseas as a place sponsored by Dayeon. Imiseon has been running the guild well and is engaged in various activities separately from Dayeon. Even without looking far ahead, in ten years, it will become one of the top guilds in Korea.
“The multi-election is good too. But getting in is difficult….”
I saw Seo Han-seong. He is not an unusable talent. With proper training, he will become a decent hunter.
Of course, Im Ji-seon is a person with a firm standard for talent. We don’t know yet whether Seo Han-seong can meet that standard.
But what’s good about friends? Yimiseon wouldn’t be able to say anything bad to her beloved niece’s friend.
“But in that case, wouldn’t it be better to talk to this hunter instead of me? If it’s difficult to talk to this hunter, why don’t I talk to you instead?”
“Oh, no. That’s… that’s what I mean.”
Seo Han-seong shook his head in surprise.
“then?”
“I would like to work under this hunter, but….”
I waited for Seo Han-seong, bewildered.
Fortunately, Seo Han-seong spoke without further hesitation.
The eyes looking at me are straight. Only someone who clearly knows what he wants to do has those eyes.
“It’s not a multi-election… it’s an association. An association of extraordinary abilities.”
Ability…what?
That place I know? That thing?
The information about Imiseon’s affiliation, which he shouldn’t know, came out of Seohanseong’s mouth.
Seo Han-seong spoke shyly for some reason.
“I went to this hunter and asked him to just let me do the job, so I also showed him my abilities… .”
“……what?”
For a moment, I was so flustered that I couldn’t follow what Seo Han-seong was saying. At the same time, the color drained from Seo Han-seong’s face.
“Oh, oh… Teacher, did you not know by any chance?”
No, I know… how on earth did he know that?
Does Yimiseon know what he knows? If she knew, she would have mentioned it to me.
“Teacher, I thought you would know since it’s the principal’s guild!”
Seo Han-seong suddenly got up.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Just forget what I said!”
Seo Han-seong jumped up and ran out of the counseling room.
“… … .”
bang!
The door slammed shut.
Click.
Seo Han-seong opened the door again and stuck his head out.
“It wasn’t me who closed it so hard. It was the wind.”
Click.
The door closes carefully.
“… … .”
What… what do you want me to do, really?
