“Wow, wow! This is real…”
Lee Se-hee, who took my heart as if it stole my heart, burst into exclamation after seeing it.
Was she so admiring as the head of the Holy Guild? I honestly don’t know.
The reason I was able to process the heart of a monster is thanks to a villain called a heartworker. Heartwalker, who was a craftsman, had outstanding machining skills and made an astronomical amount of money through this.
However, supplying those items to the villain organization became a problem. Since the monster heart of level 5 or higher is registered under the control of the state, when villains using various stolen items commit crimes, Heartwalker’s identity came to the surface.
Heartwalker, being pursued, taught me a technique and asked for protection. I remember that he boasted that his skills were the best in the world until he died.
Anyway, based on Lee Se-hee’s reaction, I think my skills are quite usable.
“after! Nice to see you. It’s really great stuff. You want to sell this to me?”
“It’s a Shinsung Hospital facilitation fee.”
“no! No way! That’s additive. You have to pay the right price for something like this. Useless greed leads to anger.”
“If so.”
“However, I only know that it is a great thing in my eyes, but it is difficult to accurately measure its value. We will contact you after we complete an accurate price measurement. may I?”
“I do not care.”
The fact that Se-hee Lee would take care of it was nothing more than extra income to me. She raised her eyebrows as if she didn’t like my answer.
“You can’t do business like that. How many scammers are there in the world? It’s a mistake… Oh, no.”
He glanced at my hand while hesitating his words.

Maybe I even thought that I would break the head of the person I cheated on.
If it was me when I was crazy, I might have done it, but I am not like that when I am sane.
Well.
To be honest, I never thought I would be scammed. I’ve never been through Is that very bad? I do not know yet.
Apart from my thoughts, I was able to finish the agreement with Lee Se-hee’s cool deal.
“And I want to ask you one thing.”
“What?”
“I’m here, don’t tell Dahyun-san.”
“… from the beginning, I didn’t want to talk about it. It’s only natural to keep confidential customer information that benefits our company. by the way.”
Lee Se-hee’s eyes looking at me became bright.
“I’m a little jealous of you taking care of Dahyun like this? I almost had my head exploded.”
“It didn’t explode.”
“That’s why I’m still breathing here.”
“I don’t do business with anything. Only do business with people you can trust.”
“That’s a pretty big compliment.”
As if that was the case, his expression relaxed like a ghost. My ears seemed a little red. Then I looked at the clock on the wall and asked for forgiveness.
“I’m sorry, but I have an upcoming appointment.”
“I’ll pay you back for what you owe me for coming suddenly.”
“yes. I will contact you soon.”
After nodding my head, I was greeted by Lee Se-hee and left the headquarters of Shinsung Group.
It was a satisfactory transaction.
*After confirming that Jun-ho Choi had returned, Se-hee Lee looked at the object in her hand.
The heart of a monster called crystal after processing was itself a work of art.
“Thank you for giving me the treasure, but I need to figure out where it is.”
Se-hee Lee contacted the Institute of the Holy Guild. After a while, a chubby man in his early fifties arrived at the office.
“Welcome, Commander.”
“Yes, chief. For what?”
“There is something I want the director to take a look at.”
Surprising flashed on the warden’s face when he saw Lee Se-hee held out.
“Where did you get this…?”
“The source is a secret. How much is this thing worth?”
“It’s amazing. Is this type of processing possible? You must have the overwhelming amount, control, and delicacy to completely subdue the force of the heart. The processing method is also completely new.”
“Also.”
Lee Se-hee, who had already expected it, nodded. Choi Jun-ho is a really mysterious person.
“Please make sure you know what kind of monster the heart is.”
The warden looked for more information, but looking at Lee Se-hee’s calm eyes, he folded his greed and bowed his head.
It reminded me of the deadly thorns hidden behind the unbelievable beauty.
“All right.”
“Then I will trust only the director and go.”
Lee Se-hee prepared for the next schedule.
Today was the opportunity to hire a new hunter who will be responsible for the future of the Holy Guild.
* Choi Yun-hee, who passed the practical test overall, is in a dream-like situation.
divine guild.
This is the place I had been aiming for since I first prepared for the hunter. He was confident in his skills, but suffered a hardship at the last high.
I could have lowered my eyes, but every time I thought of my older brother who was hanging out in my hometown, I endured it. He lowered his eyes, and it seemed that he would.
I got to where I am today with the help of my older brother, who I thought would not be imitated, but I really liked it.
The last thing left is the final interview.
When Choi Yoon-hee arrived at the interview site, she was surprised to see Lee Se-hee sitting proudly.
There were many praises for her beauty, such as the walking goddess of beauty, the jewels of the Shinsung group, and the wealthy women in the business world, but she was also outstanding as an awakener.
If Jeong Da-hyun was considered a realistic role model, Lee Se-hee admired her, so Choi Yoon-hee sat down with her pounding heart.
“Come on. Welcome to the Holy Guild.”
“Go, thank you.”
“Did I put too much pressure on you? Be comfortable with it. Now we are in the same family. It’s the final interview, but it’s a place to greet family members who will be together in the future.”
“yes. But it is not easy.”
“Then let’s get to know each other little by little. First, let me explain the Holy Guild system.”
In the Shinsung Guild, new hunters in the first year receive an annual salary of 300 million won and vouchers for all companies in the Shinsung Group. Here, incentives according to their contribution to monster hunting and priority use of weapons made by the Holy Guild are provided.
It is because of these guarantees that are widely spread the reason why the Awakened, who are considered to be the best in Korea, choose the Holy Guild as the number one priority.
It was not for nothing that it was said that if there was only one member of the Holy Guild in the family, they could live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
Lee Se-hee, who was explaining step by step, became surprised when she saw Choi Yun-hee’s results.
“Mr. Yoon Hee ranked first in all fields of the practical exam for the second time in the 37 open recruitment exams. With this score, are you looking forward to more in the future? I need to look better.”
“No, no.”
I was embarrassed, so I waved my hand. Lee Se-hee smiled at her innocent look.
“You can be proud of yourself. The Holy Guild is a place where only the best talents come.”
“yes! To be honest, I am very proud of it!”
A holy guild with a limit of 100 people.
Thousands, sometimes tens of thousands, apply to fill some vacancies that occur here, where Korea’s best talent gathers.
Choi Yoon-hee is the best talent who passed the competition by winning first place.
“You have made a lot of progress in one year. Do you have any secrets?”
“It’s a bit vague to say the secret. He, my brother gave me guidance.”
“Your brother is great.”
Lee Se-hee’s voice was strangely stretched as she said that.
“yes. I’m a civil servant, but I think it’s great.”
“You have a good brother.”
“Honestly, there are no other enemies like that in the house, but I think it’s a great thing.”
“You have a good relationship with your brother. envy.”
Having said that, Se-hee Lee explained to Choi Yoon-hee what part she will be active in the future.
The guild’s hunting method consists of a team activity of at least 4 people. Here, they each deal with monsters according to their assigned roles, and Choi Yoon-hee has an excellent sense of distance and excellent evasion ability, so she has the ability to inflict heavy damage on monsters.
“I think it would be nice to try a longer weapon. Are you okay?”
“I don’t care.”
“like. Then we decided to find the best combination for Yoon Hee, and there is one last thing I want to ask you.”
“yes.”
Lee Se-hee, who had been reckless throughout the interview, showed a hint of hesitation this time.
Why are you doing this because it’s such a difficult question?
“I ran into a villain on the way. So, how will you deal with Yoon-hee?”
“In the Holy Guild, we mainly deal with monsters, but I don’t think it’s right to just look at villains and ignore them. First, we will contact the Villain Response Team. And if I can solve it with my own skills, I will subdue it.”
“What is the level of suppression?”
“It’s a line that takes away a weapon and cannot be resisted.”
It was a textbook answer, so it felt rather bland.
I thought it was a very boring answer myself, but Lee Se-hee’s reaction from the other side was dramatic.
“···thank god.”
“yes? What?”
“Mr. Yoon-hee. Because it’s normal. I am very grateful.”
“Why, why?”
Why am I thankful that I’m normal?
Choi Yoon-hee did not understand the meaning of Lee Se-hee until the end.
* With the cooperation of Lee Se-hee, Oh Jong-yeop’s younger brother was safely admitted to the hospital. He said that he always wanted to repay the favor by saying thank you, but he did not continue to communicate by telling him to live his life.
I plan to end my relationship with him like this. He will be able to live his own life since his younger brother’s hospital expenses have been paid and there is no Big Ten who led him into the path of a villain.
On the other hand, the parents who received the news of Yoon-hee’s passing were very happy. It felt good, too, as those feelings passed through the speakerphone.
What I had always wanted to do when I returned to the past, to make my parents and Yoon-hee happy, was the first thing that finally paid off.
I asked my parents many times if they needed anything, but they said no, so I thought I should take the time and visit my hometown. It feels like everything is getting loose.
But it’s too early to be vigilant. My goal is to start now.
Even this little happiness is shattered when I go crazy. I have to be on the lookout for when an impulse may swallow me up.
The best I can do for now is to desperately hold on to my mind and clear away any obstacles that may be in the way of my serenity.
It wasn’t as restful as I thought it would be.
I am glad that my family is happy, and I also had a faithful day as a member of the villain team.
They took turns doing paperwork on one day and patrolling the other day.
Dahyun Jung’s expression was very bright when she came out, but the crime rate for the last quarter was announced.
“It fell.”
“It’s because Dahyun worked hard.”
“I’m sorry. Only I get the award.”
Not long ago, a citation was awarded in recognition of the role of the villain task force in lowering the crime rate.
I was not included among the persons awarded.
For reference, I arrested the most villains among the villains task force.
“I am fine. There is no big regret.”
“Nevertheless.”
“It feels good to achieve a personal goal.”
The reason I didn’t receive a citation is because of the arrest of Wang Ju-yeol, who was reprimanded, and the over-repression case, which will soon fill 50.
How did the media know? Every time I caught a villain, an article related to over-repression went up.
Although he did not receive the award due to public opinion, the result was satisfactory.
“Because no one died.”
Became a civil servant hunter for three months.
I’ve arrested over 200 villains and didn’t kill a single one.
He kept what Jung Da-hyun said.
“Good job.”
“Dahyun has changed too.”
“In the past, I lacked the resolve. Come to think of it, I gave up a lot when I came out of Shinsung, but I couldn’t give up here. What was important was not the promotion, but the arrest of the villain. But I found out after seeing Junho. What direction should I go and what are the greatest strengths of a civil servant?”
“It’s a good change.”
“Does Junho look good too?”
“After all, what people seek is a different law. If Dahyun’s goal is to arrest a lot of villains, quick judgment and unstoppable hands are essential.”
Dahyun Jeong did not leave the Holy Guild for power or honor as a public official.
“You just need to add one more thing.”
“What?”
“I am determined to give up the lives of both the prisoners and the villains when I am in the car.”
“…that is difficult.”
“Someday the moment of choice will come.”
Still in my memory, the afterimage of Dahyun Jeong willingly risking her life for justice remains.
The Dahyun Jung I saw in this life was still just. But while the last time had a mild taste, this time it had a rather spicy taste.
It was the reason why Jung Da-hyun’s change was expected.
. . . Of course, in order to see the scene, I must also try not to be fired.
“The only person who can say this to me is Junho. Thank you very much.”
“If you are grateful, there is a way to repay you.”
“What is it?”
“This time my younger brother joined the Holy Guild.”
“ah! Yoon Hee! I heard.”
“Did you know?”
“yes! I also have contact information. I couldn’t talk much because I was a slow typing, but he was a really nice kid. You will be busy getting used to these days.”
Obviously, Yoon-hee’s face was emaciated these days.
“Dahyun is also a senior in the Shinsung Guild, so I would like to ask Yoonhee for advice when the time comes.”
“It is. I came out halfway, but I think there is a part that can help. I’ll do it! When would be a good time?”
“Come to my house. I will serve you a meal.”
“Good. Can we look forward to the menu?”
“How about beef and miso hot pot?”
“Doenjang Hot Pot! Junho-san, you are good at cooking too!”
Dahyun’s eyes gleamed with anticipation. I don’t think I can do it at all.
I have eyes to see
Even though it looks like this, it is a body that has lived as a surviving cook for over 20 years.
“You can think of it as the most special doenjang hotpot in the world.”
“I’m really looking forward to it.”
In order not to disappoint her expectations, I will do my best to protect my pride as a miso stew fanatic.
Come to think of it, Yoon-hee said that because of me, she didn’t even look at soybean paste stew.
If Dahyun Jung likes you too, would you eat it?
When I returned to the National Guard Bureau after patrolling, Ahn’s office was noisy.
“I said today is the day the new hunter is coming. You say it’s great? The level is still low, but they say they have a special gift.”
“It’s a talent.”
“Yes, I can’t wait to see who you are.”

Most of the awakened people, called talents, fell into the guild, so each and every one of them had no choice but to be precious.
So in this case as well, it was a big catch from the standpoint of the National Guard.
The moment I saw In-young’s true identity surrounded by people, I doubted my eyes. The guy who saw me smiled and approached me with his hand raised.
“Yo, friend. Will we meet again?”
“Oh Jong-yeop.”
“I came to the National Guard to meet our friend.”
Seniors watching over Jong-yeop Oh’s dignified dog screamed in admiration.
“Did you follow Junho?”
“Your friendships are great!”
“Isn’t this true friendship?”
Oh Jong-yeop’s shoulders soared high in the sky at the compliments pouring in from those around him.
By the way, how did this guy get here?
He paid for his younger brother’s hospital bills, but he was greedy for money, so I thought he would join a decent guild.
I thought the relationship would end like that, but my relationship with him seemed to be tougher than I thought.
In the meantime, the guy who was laughing out loud came up to me. The worry-free man showed a squeak that he had only seen in his last life.
“By the way, my friend is a 9th grader, but I am a 7th grader? just what it is Hmm!”
“·················ogue.”
As I stared at him, I slowly turned my head.
Now that you’re in 7th grade, are you telling me to treat you?
“It’s me, Jong-yeop.”
“yes! Officer! This is the new Oh Jong-yeop!”
Jeong Da-hyun, who was listening quietly, interrupted.
“In our National Security Agency, other than the team leader, other positions are generally horizontal.”
“Yes? Was it like that?”
“If you want to be treated like a person, there is a way for two people to face each other and press them with their skills. Because this is a self-esteem battle, there are a lot of injuries. There was one fatal accident, and it has been avoided since then.”
Jeong Da-hyun, who had said that far, looked at Oh Jong-yeop and said cautiously.
“Wouldn’t it be dangerous if the opponent was Junho?”
“I’m going to ask you one question, sir.”
“yes.”
Oh Jong-yeop, who swallowed his saliva, asked.
“Does it look like I’m about to commit suicide?”
“·················ogue.”
Dahyun Jeong responded with silence.
