Chapter 6
‘This is a landmine. It’s not just any landmine either. This is like a hydrogen bomb.’
How should she respond if she were asked how she got to know this important information that others didn’t know? That would be just suicide.
‘Let’s pretend not to know. I didn’t see anything.’
Let’s just intervene when the fact is made known as a whole.
“If the administrator is not an Entity, there is no reason for me to be subjected to a contract confirmation test. Ah, what a relief.”
That was what mattered at the moment.
[The system administrator’s laughter shakes the entire system!]
“Mm?”
Wait, what’s with that message? I think I saw something similar right before the contract was signed?
“Administrator-nim, are you laughing enough to affect the system?”
Ha, I got a feeling. It’s clear that this was no ordinary matter. It’s clear that my goal of living as an unnamed civil servant would be jeopardized once this is known.
Let’s shut up. Yup, I really didn’t see anything.
[The system administrator interferes with the system of the sole contractor.]
[Forcibly open the system window.]
Just as she was about to go to sleep with her mind turned off, Seora’s eyes flashed at the word forcibly. A few system windows popped up at will, even though she wasn’t tampering with it.
You said you’re an administrator, but all you do is manipulate my system.
Seora, who looked at the screen wondering what the hell the administrator was manipulating, immediately opened her eyes wide.
“This…”
There were communities operated by the system itself. Along with shops and banks that exchanged coins that coil dbe used in stores.
But everything was different. All of the screens for the higher grades, which she could’ve never seen when she was an F-class, were all open.
Come to think of it, I remember that when I just reached S-class, a message saying that all systems are open had also popped up.
The higher the rank, the more systems you could use. This is why the world is said to be a perfect rating system.
“Hiya, when I was at the lowest level, it was just a story on the clouds.”
All of a sudden, she ran out of sleep. Seora started looking at the system screen with interest.
I wonder what the top stores sell, but I don’t have money right now. The same goes for the banks.
So, Seora opened a community for the upper grades, especially the S-class.
[Korea S-class exclusive community (11 people in total)]
[‘Anonymous’ has entered.]
[The blessing “Silver Screen” is in effect. Due to the effect of the blessing, the status of ‘Anonymous’ is not disclosed to other Awakeneds.]
I can’t believe the blessing can be used in the community too. This is very useful. Thanks to this, Seora was able to enjoy the community without being disturbed by anyone.
“Let’s see. What kind of conversation are S-classes talking about?”
First, she looked at the title of the latest article.
[Title: Please let me leave the guild.]
“…”
Did I see it wrong?
“Most S-classes are guild leaders or deputy guild leaders…”
Most of them are not just ordinary guilds, but leading large guilds that are considered the best in Korea.
But now one of them is asking to leave the guild…?
“Is this person a little crazy?”
She didn’t want to see who the author was, so she immediately turned to the next article.
[Title: I am going to tell you about the crazy item I’ve found in the Level 3 dungeon today.]
“… …”
Seora’s silence lasted a little longer than before.
Of course, even S-class people were still the same kind of people, so she hadn’t expected anything special…
But this is a bit…
“No, I’m sure there are still some decent people out there.”
That’s right! An S-class who’s cool, amazing, and different from others! There must be at least one person like that!
Seora cried out earnestly to herself and read the following article.
[Title: It is said that a Clear Blue Guild member had an accident today? Director Do was so pissed off and wanted to go get Suwon-cchi’s head banged on the floor><?? Banzai, banzai!]
“… … …”
Likewise, it wasn’t a very cool one, but she could somewhat guess the content.
“Director Do is probably talking about our director. As expected, the S-classes know the director’s true level.”
What bothered her more was something else.
The Suwon here should be talking about Han Suwon, the leader of Clear Blue Guild.
I see. The leader of Clear Blue Guild, who is famous for being cool, is called Suwon-cchi here…
[T/N: -cchi is a suffix to make someone’s name cuter. It is not a respectful expression at all.]
Seora remembered the nickname well in the corner of her head. Park Jinyoung, who had thrown her into the dungeon, belonged to Clear Blue Guild, so it was natural that his guild leader didn’t look pretty in her eyes.
I will definitely call Clear Blue Guild’s leader Suwon-cchi someday.
With a firm determination, Seora opened the article on the issue. She wanted to read this once.
[Director Do, are you reading this article? If you’re watching, please call me when you’ve dealt with Suwon-cchi. I really want to see Suwon-cchi banging his head on the floor.
Ahyo. He should have educated his guild members well! How did he even think of touching an employee under the director?
I shouldn’t be like this. But anyway, Suwon-cchi, come to our guild later. I’ll teach you how to train a Hunter ^^!!]
That man who is known for being cool and arrogant banging his head on the floor. It is so thrilling just to imagine it. I want to see it with my own eyes.
“Mm? But doesn’t this mean that the director is stronger than Han Suwon the guild leader…?”
Naturally, you have to be stronger than your opponent to make them bang their head on the floor.
Does that mean that Do Junyoung is much stronger than Han Suwon, who is called the king of magic?
Certainly, the sight I saw in the park was truly terrifying.
Suddenly feeling reassured, Seora smiled and turned to the comments.
[Comment]
|Guardian Spirit Guild is the best| : What’s this!? What’s up!? Suwon-cchi banging his head!? Take me with you too!
└|Sunset-ssi| : Sure, I will contact you
└|Guardian Spirit Guild is the best| : Oh yea!
|Yeonhee| : The park where the gate appeared was destroyed. It seems that Director Do was very angry.
|Wish for permanent resignation| : Please let me leave the guild.
└|Guardian Spirit Guild is the best| : Your guild leader was looking for you earlier. I will look up your location and tell them ok
└|Wish for permanent resignation| : Auuuaauuuaaaagh!
“… The S-class community is no different.”
No, it even seemed to be crazier than regular comm.
Seora glanced at the nicknames with cold eyes after her anticipation was shattered.
Ha. Everyone pretends to be so dignified at official events, but behind the scenes, they are playing like this…? I can’t believe it was all a scam.
[Written by Sunset-ssi.]
Even the author of this playful article seems to be the guild leader of Sunset Guild, who is proudly ranked 3rd in the domestic guild.
“I heard that the guild leader of Sunset and the guild leader of Clear Blue are not on good terms. So it’s true.”
In addition, judging by the nickname, the person who cried out wanting to leave the guild seemed to be the deputy guild leader of Eternal Guild, which ranked first in the domestic guild.
Oh, how sad it is. Eternal Guild was my favorite place…
Just like the first time she had seen the administrator using an emoticon, she was very depressed with a huge shock.
“… I’ll see more later.”
I can’t watch it anymore because I’m tired from looking around the store and stuff. Seora turned off all the windows and lay on the bed sobbing.
After seeing the community, she had only one thought.
I must never reveal my identity. Once I’m caught, all kinds of fuss would fill the community.
Seora’s face turned pale in an instant. What a terrible thing. No, it will never happen.
“I am a civil servant who has hidden her strength from today.”
No, wait. Come to think of it, do I really need to continue to live as a civil servant when I have become an S-class?
Living without difficulty as an F-class Awakened civil servant is a no brainer, but since I have become an S-class, such things have become meaningless.
“But I can’t quit my job right now… There’s a problem.”
There was one person in the association who would inquire into the situation if she said she would quit.
After thinking about it for a moment, Seora shook her head.
She had no intention of revealing her S-class awakening to that person. Not because she was afraid that person would not believe it. But more because it would probably remind them of someone who was very precious but eventually lost.
“I’ll stay calm until I have a good reason.”
To live as a civil servant who hides her powers for a while so that no one, even an S-class, may see it.
That’s the only goal going forward.
Seora clenched her fists with firm determination.
[Administrator: (??????‵ )]
The administrator laughed at her promise, but she tried to hide by covering her head with a blanket.
***
It was very late at night when the phone call came.
Seora, who had been sleeping in a daze, opened her eyes as soon as her cell phone rang. She was surprised when she realized the fact.
“I see. This is the sense of an S-class…”
She couldn’t believe that she opened her eyes after only one rang. When she looked at the screen, still in amazement, she paused for a moment.
It was an international call.
If it were anyone else, they would be fed up saying, “Where else did the scam call come from?” But not Seora.
Seora pressed the call button without hesitation.
—Are you injured?
As expected, it was a very familiar voice filled with urgency.
“You’ve heard of the news? Everything’s alright, so there’s nothing to worry about, Brother.”
It was her brother’s voice that she had heard for the first time in several months.
—Is everything alright?
“It wasn’t a big problem. I was lucky because it was a dungeon where the monsters were fighting over territory.”
He was also an Awakened, so no explanation was needed. Again, without further questioning, a voice filled with relief was heard.
—Thank god. I’m so glad. Where are you right now?
“The hospital. I’m not hurt, but the director told me to be hospitalized for a day or so because it must have left a huge psychological impact. So you don’t have to come to Korea, Brother.”
—…
In the quiet silence, Seora smiled as if she had known.
It was obvious even without looking. Hearing what had happened to her, he must have tried to come to Korea right away. Because he had always been a worrywart.
“I’m really fine, so you don’t have to worry.”
—What about the guy who threw you into the dungeon?
“The director beat him up in my place. It was very nice to see him covered in blood.”
I only looked at the results, but just seeing how he had turned into a mess made me feel refreshed.
Of course, it would have been better if I had done it myself, but that’s for later.
“Are you doing well, Brother? It hasn’t been long since you finished attacking the Level 2 dungeon in India. You didn’t get hurt anywhere, did you?”
—Is it time to worry about my wounds? Of course, I wasn’t seriously injured either. I’m fine.
“Oh, that’s good. Now I feel a little relieved.”
—Are you really… Nevermind. It’s bedtime, but I interrupted you. I’m sorry. It must have been very difficult, but rest well, Seora. Don’t think about anything.
“Mm.”
He seemed like he wanted to nag more, but held it in because of the situation.
Seora smiled softly, and he sighed again. Fortunately, he didn’t say anything further and after asking a few more things he hung up.
“This won’t bring him to Korea, thank god.”
Unlike Seora, her older brother Jaehun, who was a fairly high-ranking Hunter, was active overseas.
The place he belonged to was a stateless guild that was active all over the world. Thanks to this, he was quite famous in Korea, so if he did enter the country, there would have been an uproar in the interview and everything else.
And if she was unlucky, her family relationship with him would be revealed. Now that she was an S-class, she wanted to avoid the spotlight as much as possible.
Away and inconspicuous from other S-classes!
That was her only goal.
But that commitment must have been too strong.
Even if she was an S-class, she was not immune to nightmares. And so, Seora suffered from a very terrible nightmare, where she drew everyone’s attention when her identity was revealed, throughout the night.
