The Girl I Saved Came Back As An S-rank Hunter

49 – I’m here for a re-examination at the Hunter Association

After enduring hell’s training, the long-awaited day of the re-examination is finally here. Sujeong also said that she had business with the Hunter Association, so she rode the prepared car together.

And the Hunter Association arrived not too long ago. If you are a hunter, it is also a place you often visit, so it does not feel unfamiliar to you.

“Hunter Sujeong Choi, Hunter Wonwoo Lee. Welcome. I was waiting.”

As soon as we got off at the entrance of the Hunter Association, a man wearing black horn-rimmed glasses approached and talked to us.

He is tall and has a handsome face even to a man.

“This is Secretary Kang Young-ho, who came at the direction of the president. I’m here to meet you two. Come here.”

The man who introduced himself as Kang Young-ho turned his body slightly to the side and reached out to guide us.

The two of us were silently led by the man and slowly walked into the entrance.

Just before entering, the mana that filled the building was sensed. And a large number of Hunters caught my eye so that the feeling was not wrong.

Hunters talking with the staff in charge, and Hunters sitting in their seats waiting quietly or chatting with their acquaintances.

The atmosphere was similar to that of a bank with many people.

‘It’s the same here, too.’

Except for super-large guilds or urgent situations, it is common for hunter associations to be crowded in order to get permission to attack dungeons.

Aside from that, the Hunter Association is also in charge of mediating conflicts between guilds and paying rewards for successful raids, so it’s a place where you can’t be busy.

As I look at the hunters, many hunters’ eyes are fixed on us. Of course, the hot topic is Sujeong. It was a face that was so famous and not often seen that even the hunters looked at it curiously.

“Wow, isn’t that Choi Soo-jung? The real thing is much better than what I saw on the video.”

“No, that face, that body, and S rank. Crazy.”

“Then is that man next to you a lucky D-class hunter? Either risking his life to attack an S-class dungeon in his previous life or saving mankind. I envy you.”

“Where are you staring at me like that! Are you looking at another woman right now in front of me?”

As I walked among them, I heard the whispering voices of the hunters.

I’m used to it now, so I’m calm, but since the eyes follow me openly, that part was still burdensome.

“Oh, that would be nice. Someone is good at meeting a girl and blooming her life. You’ll have to do it while whimpering and give it a good look. My personality is so eccentric. It’s a little different in bed.”

“By the way, Choi Su-jeong’s eyes are quite low. Pick that guy. Or are you just playing with it and throwing it away? At that time, would you like me to run for a boyfriend?”

I’ve heard quite a few sarcastic stories like this.

To be honest, I didn’t really think about such a story from my point of view. I’m jealous of you anyway. However, I was worried that Soo-jung would hear these words and be angry again like in the movie theater.

But, fortunately, they didn’t seem to care.

After passing by the hunters following the guide of the secretary who took the lead, Sujeong suddenly asked, after passing through an uninhabited space and arriving at a dead end door.

“Secretary Kang. May I know the list and information of the hunters who were in the waiting room a while ago?”

“It is difficult to provide because it is personal information, but….”

When Kang Young-ho expressed his intention to refuse, Soo-jeong nodded as if he understood.

“Then, just a list of names, please. It’s possible to check the name of the visiting list, even for regular hunters. You wouldn’t even refuse that, would you?”

“Okay. But where are you going to use it?”

“That is not something that Secretary Kang would know.”

“… Yes, it is.”

Kang Young-ho seemed to be careful not to offend as much as possible, as if he had been instructed by the president of the association.

Sujeongi’s remarks can be seen as crossing the line against the Hunter Association people in a way.

Of course, Sujeongi has that much fame and power, so this is possible.

‘Anyway, those people are in big trouble. If Sujeongi would go that far.’

Contrary to my expectations, it’s not a fine pass, but it seems that it’s an intention to scold me properly after my re-examination is over.

If you try to dry it, you can dry it, but since I don’t really think so, I decided to just pray for their souls.

After Kang Young-ho finished talking with Sujeong-i, he took out a gold card from the top pocket of his suit and put it on the dashboard next to the door.

Beep.

With a sound, the closed door opened left and right, and unlike expected, the inside was a large and wide elevator, not a space leading to another place.

Kang Yeong-ho said, recommending with his hand to board.

“This elevator is exclusively for VIPs. After all, famous people can have the same unpleasant experience as just before.”

After nodding at those words, we got on the elevator.

Ding.

After a while, the sound of the elevator announcing their arrival. When the door opened, an older man with dark spots all over his face and a big belly stood there to greet us.

It was Ma Dong-sik, the head of the Hunter Association, a person you would never know if you ate Hunter food.

I didn’t expect him to be there to meet me, so I looked at him in bewilderment, but even if Kang Young-ho already knew, Soo-jeong remained calm without any change in expression.

“Are you here, Sujeong Choi, the guild leader, and Hunter Wonwoo Lee.”

The president of the Association, Ma Dong-shik, expresses his delight. However, it looked more like a formal greeting than a sincere one.

“Hello, President of the Association. Long time no see. How have you been?”

“hehehe, thank you for caring, I’m enduring and living well.”

Both Sujeongi and Ma Dongshik, president of the association, felt like they had bones in their words. Of course, I can’t figure out the exact hidden meaning, but I felt that they were fighting to hide their true intentions.

I was looking at the two of them in such a strangely tense state, but Ma Dong-sik turned to me and said.

“I heard Hunter Lee Won-woo played a big role in handling the A-class dungeon? Thank you. It was a big headache, but you solved it and it saved me an hour.”

“The two S-rank hunters worked hard, but I was just lucky in the end.”

It wasn’t exactly wrong, because there was nothing that was very active except for killing the vampire at the end.

“You are humble. Guildmaster Choi Soo-jung and Hunter Han Yu-ra both said that they were able to attack because Hunter Lee Won-woo was good at it.”

It’s true that Sujeong is my girlfriend, but I didn’t expect that she would talk so well with even Han Yoo-ra.

At that time, seeing that he kept doing strange things before breaking up at the end, he seemed to be in a bad state. Or have you not abandoned your lingering feelings for me yet? I wonder if I need someone to pamper me that much.

“I just got lucky. After all, he’s only a D-class hunter.”

First of all, he spoke with his posture as low as possible. If you raise your expectations for no reason and fail or the results are not good, the headwind will blow properly.

“That’s it, I don’t know how it will change through today’s re-examination. In fact, many people said that the guild leader Soo-Jung Choi handed over his achievements to Hunter Won-Woo Lee, and today all those questions will be resolved.”

“… Yes, I will do my best to dispel rumors.”

I flinched a little at the words of Ma Dong-shik, who directly talked about the rumors with a straight line, but I responded by simply talking about the theory.

There is nothing good about responding emotionally.

“I’m also going to go see you during the actual test, so I’ll see you then. You continue to guide Hunter Lee Won-woo.”

“Okay.”

After giving instructions to Kang Young-ho, Ma Dong-sik turned his head to Soo-jeong and said.

“Then we have something to discuss, so let’s go.”

“Yes, you are. Wonwoo, don’t be nervous and pay well. I will talk to the president of the association and come back.”

I guess this was what Sujeongi was talking about. He nodded his head at that and said.

“Yes. Take care of your business and see.”

So the president of the association and Sujeongi left, and moved again according to Youngho Kang’s guidance.

“You can go here.”

The door Kang Young-ho pointed to was very familiar. It was a place where I was nervous and excited about what grade I would receive when I was young, and it was a place where I felt the pain of being demoted to D grade while undergoing re-examination after the accident.

As I slowly opened the door and entered, the first thing I noticed was a huge blue orb.

And 5 computers in front of it. Kang Young-ho said as he followed.

“As it is a special re-examination, I will be in charge of the theory test and mana measurement for Hunter Lee Won-woo as directed by the president of the association.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Then let’s test the theory first. Please sit here The time limit is 50 minutes and the total problem is 50 minutes. If you are ready, please start right away.”

Theoretical part is the most confident part, so I started solving problems without hesitation.

It was a basic theory, so there was nothing particularly difficult. There were some twisted problems in the middle, but at this level, it didn’t feel difficult.

In the first place, it was the theoretical field that I dug deep while I had no magic, and it was because of my theoretical grades that I kept my name Hunter. So if I don’t get good results, I think I’ll hurt my pride.

After about 40 minutes of the test time, I had already solved all the questions, so I checked it carefully once again, just in case, and clicked the button at the bottom with “Submit” Written on it.

[98/100]

Unfortunately, a perfect score was missed. I checked what was wrong, and I was able to confirm that it was different from when I was studying before.

‘Hmm. It used to be that it was impossible to arbitrarily pass on unique characteristics to others, but it seems to have changed now.’

Once I understood that, I stood up.

Kang Young-ho, who was next to me, also watched me and wrote something on the paper he had.

“Next is mana measurement. Put your palm here.”

Kang Yeong-ho pointed to a golden plate engraved with the shape of a palm and said.

“Yes. Whoop, whoop.”

She took a deep breath and tried to keep her composure. In fact, it was a moment that made her more nervous than the actual test.

The last time she came, it turned out that her magical power was barely felt, and she had painful memories of being confirmed as D-class without even taking the actual test.

Of course, it’s a completely different situation from then, so there won’t be any big problems.

When I carefully placed my palm on the golden board, it instantly glowed and absorbed my mana.

And the blue orb in front of me also lit up and generated electricity around the orb.

And the light goes out after a while. Then, with the sound of something being printed, the paper containing the results was slowly pulled out.

Young-ho Kang looked at the paper slowly and wrote something where she had written it before she said to me.

“mana grade B. Congratulations. You got a completely different result than last time.”

It was an obvious result, if it was natural, but I felt better thinking that I had risen as much as I had spent a lot of mana.

“In a moment, as soon as we are ready, we will proceed with the final field test. Please wait for a while in the prepared break room.”

Following Kang Young-ho’s words, I left the door and sat down in the lounge in front of her.

“Whoa…. Now you just have to practice well.”

With that thought in mind, I closed my eyes and recalled the training I had done so far one by one.
