Ah! Of course I know that you refused once.
Feeling a sense of crisis, Kwak Byeonggi corrected his glasses that had slipped down and spoke urgently.
So, we were also temporarily giving up on scouting you, Hunter-nim.
But?
Seeing that you havent joined any guild yet, I contacted you just in case you might be interested.
He explained in a clear voice and looked carefully.
The last proposal was so spontaneous that you may not have been satisfied with the conditions.
We highly appreciate Hunters potential value. So, we brought this modified contract for you to review!
However, Kiryeo looked at the contract that had been pushed into him as if it were a piece of waste paper.
Certainly, there was an amount written that seemed excessive for F-Class. However, the payment is not so great that it breaks the resolution made at the time of reincarnation.
There are really some things in the world that cant be exchanged for money. For example, documents that have already been signed.
He was an alien who fully understood the weight of the concept of contract. In addition, he was fully aware of the dangers of recklessly belonging to the Earth organization in a situation where there was a huge gap in memory.
Therefore, after some consideration, Kiryeo made up his mind again. He chose freedom. Anyway, in order to spend time on research to regain strength, he had to remain unaffiliated for the time being, even if he didnt like it.
I went through reincarnation because I hated working, and now youre telling me to live like a hamster wheel again?
Of course, putting aside all rational reasons, he turned down corporate life simply because of the pain he experienced at work in his previous life.
Thats enough.
What followed was an attitude that seemed like it was not worth discussing. Kwak Byeonggi felt like he had been hit on the head.
Other hunters are anxious because they cant join our guild, so why have we become so obsessed with F-Class?
Could it be that Esther sending someone at a team leader level wasnt without reason? Looking at that attitude, it seems like if a regular employee had come, he wouldnt have been able to even talk to him.
Uhm, Hunter-nim. Then, is there any offer you are waiting for?
He was getting impatient. Kwak Byeonggi asked a cautious question. He was wondering if the opponent was so cold because he had already decided on a guild.
Thats not it. I just have no intention of joining any guild.
However, what came out of Kiryeos mouth was an unexpected answer. Its not the conditions that are the problem. Its that he has been completely refusing all of the guilds recommendations.
I, I see.
Its incomprehensible behavior. Even after that, Team Leader Kwak Byeonggi repeatedly emphasized the guilds usefulness, but Kiryeos response remained consistent. He, with snake-like eyes that gleamed, maintained a cold silence.
Theres no way something like this is an F-Class.
Having spent time close to Esther, he thought he had become somewhat accustomed to the pressure from higher-ranked hunters. This awakened person even managed to diminish the value of the accumulated experiences. Because he had such a different vibe, as if he didnt even see him as the same species.
Kwak Byeonggi swallowed dry saliva.
It seems we might have misunderstood a bit. Haha, even if we give Hunter-nim a blank check, it doesnt seem like something you would accept!
However, these words didnt reach Kim Ki-ryeo.
Go to work I hate going to work
In fact, he was quite shocked when he found the word working hours in the contract he had been pushed into earlier
Kiryeo was currently in a slightly mentally and physically weak state. However, when Kwak Byeonggi saw that he didnt respond, the misunderstanding deepened.
Wow, I never thought you would be so upset about the blank check story. Are you saying I shouldnt even think about the idea of money?
If someone lives with the idea that everything can be solved with money, they will have no way of dealing with it when they meet someone who is not swayed by money. Team leader Kwak Byeonggi eventually gave up on recruiting Kim Kiryeo.
Lets change the direction.
Still, its okay. In preparation for such cases, Magic Towers CEO had given instructions in advance.
It seems like a formal contract is burdensome. Then lets pretend this matter never happened.
As the HR team leader made a statement that seemed like hes going to step back, Kiryeo also belatedly regained his composure. It was at that moment.
Then what Im talking about now is a separate proposal.
Yes?
For example, if its not a formal contract but a temporary request for a single job, would you be willing to accept it?
Korea Magic Tower made an unexpected recommendation.
Request?
Its related to appraisal.
There is a quick request to make to Kim Kiryeo, who is an appraiser.
Actually, we obtained a piece of equipment in the recent gate raid, but the performance analysis is not going well.
Kwak Byeonggi adjusted his glasses.
Because we couldnt clarify the usage conditions, we were slowly looking for an outside contractor.
.
I expect there to be some hidden condition.
But so far, the analysis of unique weapons has never been wrong. Will this unheard of appraiser produce better results than the elites of the Magic Tower?
Kwak Byeonggi hid his doubts and spoke kindly.
For your information, there is no penalty if you fail the analysis, so dont worry
But he couldnt finish his sentence.
Oh, this is lighter than it looks?
Srrrng.
Right after that. Because Kim Kiryeo lifted the cursed sword without hesitation.
Heuk!
Ugh! Wait a minute, Hunter! W, wait!
There were clear signs that it was dangerous, but he just grabbed it like that? Is he a beginner appraiser?
Kwak Byeonggi was so shocked that he couldnt speak properly.
You must not touch!
But then. Something was strange. Come to think of it, four or five seconds would have passed in a funny way while this side didnt know what to do.
Why?
No, thats.
Are you trying to tell me not to touch it?
The F-Class hunter calmly scanned the body of the magic sword. The appearance even seemed relaxed, as if appreciating a work of art.
Im sorry. I have to touch it in person to feel it more accurately. Should I put it down now?
Oh, ah, no.
He calmly lifts up a magic sword that causes an A-Class to faint and scream within seconds. Until now, even the most powerful hunters were unable to withstand the special abilities of that equipment and fell one after another.
To handle such enormous magical power consumption?
The snake-shaped man with his hair dyed yellow was just studying the sword intently at this moment. He fearlessly swept the black-edged magic sword with his hand and muttered softly.
Is the absorption rate of this high?
Its as if he doesnt feel anything at all. Kwak Byeonggis hair stood on end.
If one can handle the magic-devouring black sword like a starving beast nonchalantly Its natural that he doesnt understand the circumstances of other awakened people. Because the level difference is too significant.
What kind of people are you trying to attract to the guild, CEO?
After finishing the appraisal, Kiryeo put the sword back in its place. Everyone held their breath. The sound of the sword hitting the bottom of the case resonated clearly in the air.
.
The atmosphere froze when a mysterious awakened person who withstood the curse of the sword appeared. Kiryeo looked at this and thought quietly.
Huh? Did everyone look serious because I left a fingerprint?
This calm reaction is sufficient to deduce the situation. In fact, his magic wasnt really being absorbed from the beginning.
Anyway, it was a very simple magic tool.
As everyone knows, this is a type of equipment that demands a certain price, like a vampire. However, a wizard whose bodys magic has completely disappeared usually dies.
What a tool that kills its owner!
Who would buy a sword like that?
So this sword had a basic safety device set up. That is, when mana reaches the minimum required for survival, absorption stops.
Probably, it would automatically stop if only the magical power level reached F-Class for any hunter.
Until now, the hunters had collapsed screaming. This was because intense pain occurred when A-Class magical power suddenly dropped to the bottom.
Then why is Kiryeo so fine?
It was simple.
His magical power is already at its lowest point
What? Why am I suddenly crying?
While others fell from high positions like the 10th or 9th floors, Kim Gireyo was just standing still on the 1st floor, so is there a possibility of impact from the fall? The F-Class was relatively free from the curse of the sword. However, the Korean Magic Tower couldnt know this fact.
Hunter, are your hands okay?
Hands? Of course.
When a non-awakened person touches the sword, a tragic incident occurs where the swords magical power flows backward, causing the palm to melt away. (t/n : I think theres two type of non-awakened, and . is to indicate a non-awakened state and using to denote a state of not having awakened yet. In this part I will be using a non-awakened state.)
Even F-Class are slightly absorbed, but its another thing if a person with no magic power picks up a sword.
F-Class may experience minimal absorption, but when someone without any magical power holds a sword, thats a different matter.
Due to Magic Towers distinctive elite-centric approach, there are no guild members below C-Class. Therefore, the use of items by the lowest level hunters was not verified. In addition, there are cases where ordinary transporters were injured while handling swords.
When considering this information as a whole, will the conclusion be that insufficient awakening level prevents wielding the sword?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
