NOVEL NEXT chapter 232
232 – Raid Recruitment (5)
Assassin class, B-class holder Do Seung-min.
An independent holder who boasts 6 years of holder experience this year.
However, to put his career to shame, he now had a tense moment ahead.
＜Prime Gymnasium＞
– During the final interview for the selection of excommunication raid members.
Jaehyun Doh’s Temporary Raid Recruitment.
After the name of the dungeon to be attacked, the raid was even named ＜Ripple Raid＞.
The final interview for the member selection…
It was because Do Seung-min was also waiting.
‘I passed… .’
In fact, it was an unbelievable result.
The first document that a whopping 311 holders applied for.
Since it is not possible to interview all holders, holders are selected only with the grade registered in the association and brief information in the resume.
Because of this, quite a few holders had a hard time passing through the documents.
From what I’ve heard, a lot of A-rank holders have attached, and B-rank holders have largely dropped.
Depending on the rank of the raid member, the success or failure of the dungeon raid could be different, so it was probably a natural result.
And Do Seung-min was the one who confidently broke through the competition and made it to the final interview among countless B-rank holders.
‘Finally, Jaehyun is seeing his older brother.’
However, Do Seung-min’s impression was a little different from other holders.
If others cheered for the enormous size of the raid, ultra-luxurious members, and the highest level of pay, Do Seung-min was enthusiastic about being able to see Do Jae-hyeon in real life.
He is a huge fan and follower of Do Jae Hyun.
It was because the motivation for supporting the raid was only ‘fan spirit’.
‘Jaehyun hyung is the pride of the Do family!!’
It’s just the same surname, but Do Seung-min even used the expression ‘family’ to give meaning.
A holder who started from the bottom and rose to the top position, and is not at all afraid of the spotlight pouring down from the top position.
Rather, a hero who takes a step forward and writes history based on him.
For him, who always struggled with low self-esteem and uneasy reality, the existence of Do Jae-hyun was an object he could only look up to and admire.
Top prospects in the country.
The future of the Assassin line.
Academy Hero.
The youngest raid leader… .
All the titles surrounding Do Jae-hyeon were objects of admiration and aspiration to Do Seung-min.
‘I must not disappoint my older brother.’
Do Seung-min went to the final interview with a determined mindset.
Until now, parents, friends, holders, and even myself…
I have disappointed many people, but I wanted to show a satisfactory result to Do Jae-hyun.
He wanted to break his own limits through an idol he had created in a few years.
“Do Seung-min holder?”
In the meantime.
A woman in office wear came up and called him.
Do Seung-min hurriedly brushed his thighs and rose from his seat.
“Yes, I am Do Seung-min.”
“Oh, you don’t have to get up. There are about three minutes left, so I called to prepare in advance. When your name is called later, you have to go right in.”
“Ah yes. All right.”
Apparently, there were a lot of interviews and practical screening was necessary, so it seemed to reduce unnecessary time as much as possible.
Do Seung-min sat down again.
Then, I turned on my cell phone and accessed ＜Do Jae-hyun’s Official Fan Cafe＞ in ‘Favorite Sites’.
Do Seung-min often enters as if breathing…
It was a fan cafe with an [excellent member] rating.
He entered the writing section and immediately left a short message.
-3 minutes before receiving the real thing… I’m really nervous
before the interview begins.
Cafe writing to relax.
Just as expected…
The ghosts always resident in the cafe immediately commented.
[Jaehyun Joa/Woo] Wow.. Where are you going?!
└ [Jaehyun SS/Choi] Today is raid interview day. This person probably applied as a raid member.
[Grape Pudding/Choi] Don’t be nervous, fighting!
[Bond owner/Choi] Are you a woman?
[This is my older brother/Woo] I’m envious.. I had an interview too ㅠ.ㅠ
‘… What the hell are they doing?’
Do Seung-min folded his phone in a cold sweat.
Comments posted within 1 minute of posting.
In addition, he knows all of Do Jae-hyun’s daily movements.
It’s a post to relieve tension, but I’m rather excited to see the members like that.
It’s really apt to be called a specter.
Even the [Excellent Member] ranks with the mark of ‘Choi’ were more mysterious.
No matter what I did, I couldn’t get to that level…
I couldn’t figure out how the hell they got to that level.
“The next applicant, Class B holder Do Seung-min.”
However, the voice calling his name…
Do Seung-min shook off his thoughts and entered a special space in the gymnasium.
and as soon as you enter.
I was stunned by the sight unfolding in front of me.
‘Jae-hyung hyung?’
It was because Do Jae-hyun, his idol and role model, stood in the middle sweating profusely.
Originally, when interviewing raids or clan admissions, the interviewers usually sit at tables set up in the gymnasium.
Interviews are conducted in the form of applicants directly demonstrating their abilities in the air, or engaging in sparring with other applicants.
Do Seung-min has also had many interviews like that.
However, Do Jae-hyeon is standing with a weapon in his hand.
It was a special type of interview in which anyone could see that they were sparring and checking their abilities.
“Is the applicant Do Seung-min the holder?”
And while wiping the short sword, Do Jae-hyeon asks a question.
It is handed over directly by one’s own idol…
It was an honorable first question.
Do Seung-min tried to hide his overwhelming emotions and answered as politely as possible.
“yes. That’s right, brother.”
“… older brother?”
However, the habit that comes from the heart seems to be unavoidable.
He tilted his head at the very unfamiliar name.
Do Seung-min then changed his words with a sorry expression.
“ah. sorry. I like being friendly… . Even to people I see for the first time, I say big brother and sister.”
“… It looks good. First, take out your weapon and loosen up your body. Interviews are conducted in a sparring format after simple questions and answers.”
“yes!”
Do Seung-min answered briefly and then took out his weapon.
Nearby were high-ranking holders whose faces were familiar, perhaps as supervisors or interviewers, but they didn’t catch Do Seung-min’s eyes.
He only wanted to look good for Do Jae-hyeon.
In the meantime, Do Jae-hyun read the application form and started the interview.
“The Age… 19 years old?”
The first thing I checked was, of course, age.
He is a holder with 6 years of experience, but it was about the age when he was only 19 years old.
When a sensitive topic came up, Do Seung-min nodded his head nervously.
“That’s right.”
“Did you wake up early?”
“yes.”
Rune holders usually awaken between the ages of 18 and 20, but sometimes they awaken too late or too early.
Do Seung-min was an ‘early awakening holder’ belonging to the latter group.
Case awakened at the age of 13 and started living as a holder.
Until then, there were no holders who had awakened at such an early age, so at that time, they were also called prodigies and became a hot topic.
‘In the end, I remained a failed prospect.’
When I recall the past, a bitter smile comes out.
Is it because I received too much attention at such a young age?
Do Seung-min could not overcome the pressure of the prospect title.
The pressure and impatience to always live up to expectations was on the side of his mind, which stalled his growth at the most critical time.
After that, he came to his senses and built his career step by step, but in the end, he was the one who couldn’t break down the wall of A-class holder.
‘Jaehyun hyung, come with me.’
It was for that reason that Do Jae-hyeon became his idol.
Although he received the same spotlight in the same situation, Do Jae-hyun overcame it all and proudly became a hero.
Even though Holder’s career is only two years old, he broke through the limits and lived up to everyone’s expectations.
I was envious of that look, and it was cool.
A sense of inferiority also arises when a person is at eye level.
For those who shine too overwhelmingly…
Rather, I just want to follow and emulate.
In this way, Do Jae-hyeon naturally had no choice but to become an object of admiration.
“ … … Then we will start the Dalian interview.”
After the question and answer interview, which I did not know how it went, the Dalian interview began immediately.
The match against Do Jae-hyeon.
He was the leader of the raid of the ＜Ripple Raid＞.
Kang-!
Cagan-!
‘and… .’
And as the sparring continued, Do Seung-min could not help but admire.
It’s nameless.
Rumors couldn’t keep up with even half of half of their actual skills.
Even without using any special skills or additional abilities, he overwhelms Do Seung-min with only two short swords.
Stats, rune levels, utility…
It differs in every way.
I can’t believe it’s been 2 years.
Looking at the simple assassin series, it was a skill worthy of being called a top-class holder.
‘As expected, Jaehyun is my older brother.’
Do Seung-min was simply admiring the match against the defeat.
Rather than bemoaning his lack of skills, he only considered it an honor to mix swords with idols he admired.
“stop. That’s it.”
So the sparring ended in an instant.
The result is, of course, Do Seung-min’s defeat.
It was a result that had no choice but to win cleanly.
The moment Do Seung-min tried to greet him with overwhelming emotions.
“Do Seung-min holder. Have you ever used a silver weapon?”
Your own celebrity has spoken again.
Do Seung-min replied with a slightly excited face.
“No, brother! Among the runes I own, this is a rune called Silver Moonshadow, and it is an effect that allows you to use holy power during battle to put the power of silver in all abilities. As you’ve heard, it’s a really useless rune, but it’s quite helpful when dealing with undead monsters… ”
“Stop, stop. You don’t have to tell me everything.”
Do Jae-hyun cut off his words with a tired face.
It was only natural when he was listening to Do Seung-min’s answers pouring in.
And after inserting the weapon, he turned his back and said.
“Do Seung-min holder is the final pass. We will notify you of the schedule later, so please set aside time for the next two weeks.”
Do Seung-min doubted his ears for a moment.
pass.
He was selected as a member of the outstanding ＜Ripple Raid＞.
Unbelievable results were flowing from the mouth of the person he admired the most.
“Wow, wow… .”
He was momentarily dumbfounded and at a loss for words…
Immediately, he lowered his head and shouted.
“Go, thank you! Thank you, brother!!”
“… Don’t call me older brother.”
“ah! Thank you, raid leader! and… !”
So, Do Seung-min last.
Holder Do Jae-hyeon’s temporary raid…
The selection of all members of the so-called ＜Ripple Raid＞ has been completed.
