Knock knock.
“Come in.”
The door opened and a man with a haggard expression entered.
He bowed to the man sitting in the chair.
“Did you call for me, Chief?”
“Yeah. Just a moment.”
Min Si-joon.
He was the head of one of the three largest guilds in Korea, [𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝], and an S-rank Hunter ranked 9th in the Korean Hunter rankings.
As the need for guild businesses arose, the [𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝] he founded became a national power that truly supported South Korea,
and now it had come to a time when the presence or absence of a good guild was becoming a measure of a developed country.
Min Si-joon read the document without even looking at his executive secretary, Yoon Seung-gyu.
How much time passed?
Min Si-joon asked a question.
“When will the next graduates come out?”
“The last one entered 5 weeks ago, so I think they’ll come out within the next month.”
His question was about the ‘Tower of Tutorials.’
Each guild spent a lot of manpower and capital to acquire the talents that came out of the Tutorial Tower,
because a single well-chosen talent could earn hundreds of billions of won per year.
Moreover, even if they got an A-rank Hunter, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the guild’s status itself would rise slightly.
This was because there were many Hunters, but not many Hunters who were considered high-level personnel.
Therefore, everyone was desperate to find good talent.
Min Si-joon was also very interested in recruiting Hunters who would strengthen his guild.
It was good to scout those who were already active as Hunters from other guilds,
but the easiest way was to bring in those who had just come out of the Tutorial Tower.
In particular, if he showed his [𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝] business card, sixteen out of ten people would come under Min Si-joon even if they already had a place to go.
At least until a few years ago.
“Bring them in without fail when they come out in the 6th week. That’s the ‘minimum standard.'”
“I understand. Sometimes it takes more than 10 weeks. We’ll start scouting from the 6th week and proceed in the order they come out.”
“As you know, [𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝] and [𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐧 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝] are actively recruiting talent. The number of Hunters below B-rank is now similar. A-rank is also close.”
Yoon Seung-gyu simply bowed his head at Min Si-joon’s curt words.
It wasn’t his fault, but he felt a sense of responsibility as someone who was serving as an aide.
In fact, just 5 years ago, the [𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝] was the best guild that no one could surpass.
Its prestige was unmatched, and that was why it was called the guild that raised the status of South Korea.
But things had changed.
Choi Dae-soo.
Since his days as a member of the National Assembly, he had been subtly arguing for a bill that would hinder the development of small guilds, and now that he had become president, he was openly promoting other guilds.
‘𝘿𝙖𝙢𝙣 𝙞𝙩.’
Even Min Si-joon, an S-rank Hunter who was one of only 10 in South Korea and the head of a large guild, could not mess with Choi Dae-soo.
Because he was an unstoppable monster.
‘𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙝𝙞𝙢 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙙𝙞𝙙𝙣’𝙩 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙚 𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚.’
Min Si-joon bit his lip.
He thought of the one person who had seen through his endless greed.
The Hunter who was the only one who could stop Choi Dae-soo.
‘𝙃𝙮𝙪𝙣𝙜.’
Ring ring.
Yoon Seung-gyu’s cell phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at Min Si-joon’s expression for a moment, then turned around and answered the phone when he gestured for him to do so.
“What’s going on? Yeah. Yeah. What? Then isn’t it a little early? What the. . . . . . Okay, wait a minute! Did you make sure of it? Yes, we’re taking care of the situation for now. I’ll be there soon.”
“What’s the matter?”
Yoon Seung-gyu was not the type to panic easily.
He asked, looking at Min Si-joon with a puzzled expression.
Unless a large-scale gate had opened somewhere, there shouldn’t be anything to be surprised about.
“We. . . heard that someone came out of the Tutorial Tower exit.”
“Oh, really? I thought this batch was in its 8th week. Not bad.”
“But they’re not a member of the last batch.”
“. . .The batch before last? That would have been around
However, Yoon Seung-gyu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
“I don’t understand. Then who. . .?”
“That. . . .”
Yoon Seung-gyu hesitated at Min Si-joon’s words.
“They said they’re not on the entry list. But they’re causing a commotion right now. . . .”
They’re not on the list, but they came out after conquering the Tutorial Tower. . . .
Min Si-joon finished his short thought and picked up his jacket.
His short hair swayed, revealing his handsome face.
“Let’s go and see for ourselves.”
