The Heroine Saves the World

The heroine saves the world

episode 33

As I said before, guerrilla gate raids are avoided by guilds that have established themselves to some extent.

So, the structure was such that if you just put your guild name on the association list, you would automatically be assigned a spot.

Suddenly, the Justice Guild was denied registration as a guerrilla warfare guild.

“What is the reason?”

Kang Han, who couldn’t stand it any longer, asked angrily.

“… … Lack of experience.”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

For guilds that are just starting out or small guilds like ours, the Guerrilla Gate raid is both a gateway and a testing ground.

Clear the Guerrilla Gate and build up your career to move on to the next stage, conquering the official dungeon.

“The guerrilla list is the one that even guilds that were just created yesterday can register, but you’re saying that I can’t because I don’t have enough experience?”

It’s like applying for an internship to build your career, but being told you can’t do it because you don’t have any experience.

You’re talking about recruiting career interns or something.

“This is a new policy for the association.”

The association staff had been giving the same answers like a machine since they had received orders from above.

There are so many different ways to make someone’s outfit explode.

“If this is a new policy, when did it go into effect?”

Because I’ve never heard of it before.

If such a rule had been created, the Hunters community would have been turned upside down a long time ago.

“… … Starting today.”

The smell of the association president’s sweat lingers everywhere.

“ha.”

What do I do with this?

I never expected the president of the association to move so decisively and so quickly.

He doesn’t have that kind of brain.

Something felt off.

It’s frustrating, but if the association president uses his position to interfere in this way, the Justice Guild, which is still weak, will not be able to properly fight back.

“Isn’t there any way?”

Kang Na and I stepped back and started to rack our brains.

* * *

At the same time, in the association president’s office.

Samayoung was watching the Jeongui Guild scuffling with its staff through the CCTV screen.

White steam was rising from the coffee the president’s secretary brought out, but he didn’t even touch the cup.

I just sat there with my legs crossed and staring at the screen.

“Jun-kyung.”

When Sima Ying called, Woo Jun-gyeong of Sima Guild, who had been standing like a statue with a smile behind him, came close and answered immediately.

“Did you call, my lord?”

Some of those who were said to be close to Sima Ying called him ‘lord’.

Although it was initially controversial, it has long been recognized as a kind of privilege.

Because Sima Ying did not allow anyone to use that title.

“That female healer, what was her name?”

“I’m Na Yeo-ju, 23 years old. According to the records, I showed no signs of awakening during the wave test that was conducted until I fell and hit my head, and then I awakened as a Class A healer.”

“I guess the secret to awakening lies in the brain.”

Sima Ying tilted her head slightly, rubbing her chin, and added briefly.

“I want to open it and look at that head.”

“Shall I bring it?”

Woo Jun-kyung said, placing his hand on the waist where the weapon he always carried, the folding fan, was hanging.

The flower-like smile that held a gorgeous poison became even deeper.

“No, it’s fun after a while, so let’s watch a little longer. If you get bored, bring it then.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Moral standards and common sense were meaningless.

To Woo Jun-gyeong, who was one of the most prominent of Sima Ying’s confidants, Sima Ying’s words were law and a revelation from heaven.

“Why did that woman named Na Yeo-ju take all the Mega Lotto winnings and go to the Guild of Justice?”

It wasn’t a question.

Sima Ying now looked at the pretty face with her bangs roughly brushed back and muttered to herself.

“But originally, it had no connection with the Justice Guild.”

A smile appeared on her red lips.

“That’s funny. Right, Junkyung.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Woo Jun-gyeong’s ominous, black eyes, like poison, followed Sima Young’s gaze and turned towards Na Yeo-ju.

I recently received a call from the Awakening Center saying that a new A-class healer had been registered, so I took action myself.

It was Sima Ying’s order to recruit him no matter how much money was paid.

However, Woo Jun-kyung failed to carry out the order.

It was the first mission that ‘disappointed’ Sima Ying, whom he had served since childhood.

“What did that woman say to you?”

“How much research have you done?” he said.

“You are such an interesting woman, my lady.”

It was a scene where two people, each wearing a mask of a perfectly expressionless face and a mask of a wicked smile, seemed to be having a conversation.

The president of the association, who was standing in the corner of his office, holding his breath, felt goosebumps run down his back and a cold sweat run down his face.

“Association President.”

“Yes! Guild Leader Sima Young.”

“The Justice Guild should never be on the list.”

“Yes, I will give it my all! If that doesn’t work, I will mobilize the Association Hunters to close down the Justice Guild… … .”

“Don’t do that.”

“Okay, did I hear that wrong?”

“Then it wouldn’t be fun.”

The president of the association stared blankly at Sima Ying’s beautiful side profile.

You told me not to allow any assignments to the Guerrilla Gate, but you’re telling me not to close it?

It was a flow of thought that ordinary people simply could not follow.

“If you find another way besides the list… … just leave it alone.”

“But if that happens… … .”

“There are several bombs in the Justice Guild, and I would be happy if even one of them exploded.”

Sima Young smiled at Na Yeo-ju on the screen, imagining herself swallowing up the Jeongui Guild in that gap.

“If that woman gets torn apart, it’ll be quite a sight.”

* * *

“No matter how much I think about it, there is no other answer than to subcontract from another guild.”

Kang said.

I agree with that.

Large guilds that don’t want to do guerrilla gate raids pay small guilds to do the job.

But who on earth would entrust the Justice Guild with such a task?

Although it has grown a bit and gotten better than before, the Justice Guild is still at the bottom of the guild food chain.

It was also an object of avoidance that everyone wanted to be associated with in any way.

But then someone came and spoke to me.

“Strong, long time no see.”

“Huh? Guild leader Yang Hwa-yeon?”

It was the guild leader of the Magma Guild, Yang Hwa-yeon of the Flame Battle Guild, who was rapidly growing in power.

She was a woman with short red hair and a face that looked good at first glance.

He was much taller than me, so when I stood next to him, it felt like I was looking at models taking pictures.

“This is our first meeting, right? My name is Yang Hwa-yeon.”

“I’m Na Yeo-ju. I’m a healer from the Jeongui Guild.”

“Then the same. These days, if you don’t know Ms. Na Yeo-ju, you’re not a Korean hunter. But.”

Yang Hwa-yeon glanced at the desk where we had been arguing a little while ago and said.

“I think there was a problem because you said you wouldn’t put me on the list.”

“Oh, yes.”

I didn’t feel sorry for Yang Hwa-yeon, but I felt a bitter taste in my mouth as I remembered what had happened a little while ago.

Until she smiled brightly and made an unexpected suggestion.

“It’s already annoying because it’s our turn soon. Do you want to take our request?”

What the heck is this?

I instinctively looked at Kang-han.

Because the authority over the guild’s strategy lies with the guild leader, Kanghan.

“Are you going to help us?”

“Well, just for old times’ sake. I used to be a member of the Justice Guild. Even if it was only for a short time.”

So that’s what fate had in store for us.

It seems that this happened long before started.

“How about it? Do you want to receive it?”

In fact, it was a subcontract that I should have accepted with a big thank you, without even considering the details.

Maybe we should be giving money instead of receiving it.

I asked with the intention of giving up to 10 million won.

“What are the conditions? How far have you thought about it?”

“I can’t give you much. I’ll give you 5 million won.”

This has to be caught.

You have to catch it no matter what.

Instead of receiving it, you’re giving 5 million won!

“… … 5 million won is a bit tight. Instead, Magma is giving me a free hand.”

“Hmm. In exchange for giving me 5 million won, I have one more condition.”

“What is it?”

“I’ll accompany you on your expedition.”

“Why?”

“I am free, but my guild members are not.”

Well, I remembered the broadcast I saw at the Awakening Center.

It was so unusual for the Magma Guild to directly participate in the Guerrilla Gate attack that they even streamed it.

“Why?”

“I was just curious.”

Yang Hwa-yeon seemed to have no intention of explaining further what she was curious about.

But whatever the reason, it’s honestly an appealing proposition.

If my expectations are wrong, even if Kang-han steps forward, there is a possibility that he won’t be able to properly subdue Jang-su-ho.

In that situation, there is no reason to refuse a free ride from an A-class passenger.

“Ha, that’s a bit like that.”

But the basic principle of negotiation is to not show that you like something until the very end.

It’s a skill I learned while looking at monthly rental houses.

“First of all, we need permission from our guild leader, right?”

“I don’t care.”

Kang-do said that firmly, but inside he looked relieved.

“Then there’s nothing I can do. I heard you’re friendly with our guild leader. Okay.”

Even the president of the association cannot block contracts between guilds.

I said as I quickly headed to the desk before Yang Hwa-yeon changed her mind.

“5 million won is too little, but whatever. I’ll go and get the contract. If you don’t have that, I’ll have to destroy the printer.”

Okay, you got a Class A seat belt.
