Civil Servant Hunter’s S-class Resignation Log

Chapter 151:

We kindly ask for your understanding regarding the inconsistency of character pronouns, particularly for the Entities (ex. The Greedy Predator). In Korean, pronouns are rarely used, making it challenging to ascertain a character's gender or identity until later narratives unfold. Update twice a week [SUN] & [THURS] starting August 2024! Also please check out our new Hunter series!

“Wow, Seora. That’s so cool.”

Seong Jarim raised her thumb towards Seora, who was meticulously feeling the stitching on the Regeneration Jacket to check if it was done properly. Envy streamed from her eyes.

“Make something like that for me too!” she immediately grabbed Shin Dowon’s sleeve, stretching it out. “I want a cool combat uniform! Special ops gear!”

“But I heard you’re a Healer. Your combat style is different from Yun Seora’s, so your armor should be different too.”

“I’m also a damage dealer!”

“A damage dealer? Your secondary attribute is Healer when you’re not a Tank?”

Even when nestled in the countryside, news from outside trickles in. However, all he knew about Seong Jarim was that she could heal. So naturally, he thought she was either a Healer or a Tank.

“Yeah, I’m a damage dealer.”

“Deal-Heal? Like a Monique Ribery?” The zombie queen who over heals to kill her opponents?

When asked if Seong Jarim had a similar ability, Seora shook her head. “No, this one doesn’t kill by healing, but by stealing health from the opponents.”

“Stealing health?”

“It’s a skill. Either by killing the opponent or by inflicting wounds, I drain their health to restore allies’. Then, I just finish the weakened enemies off.”

“…”

It was a skill as shocking as Monique Ribery’s. After a moment of silence, Shin Dowon said with a subtle expression, “Healers these days are truly terrifying.”

“I agree.”

The phrase “Healers are lifelines” took on a very different meaning for both of them. They were truly frightening Healers.

“Anyway, in that case, we might need to create your armor differently. Do you have a weapon?”

“Here.”

Seong Jarim took out a weapon from her inventory. It was a terrifying scythe with two blades, solely crafted for dealing damage. It seemed to be made of Baskar ore, catching Shin Dowon’s eye instantly.

The two of them engaged in a long conversation afterward. Seora had experienced this on her first visit, so she simply observed contentedly.

‘Great personality, great abilities. It’s a shame that he’s on borrowed time.’

Since it was due to the contract with an Entity, Seora wondered if there could be a way to resolve it. Shin Dowon had mentioned that potions couldn’t cure it, but in a world like this, there had to be some solution.

‘Can’t something like the core of the Dragon of Revelation be used for an elixir?’

If she could have a lifetime supply, she wouldn’t hesitate to use the core. Seora pondered this while recalling her inventory filled with various treasures.

She must find a good solution somehow.

【Title: Our L-classes Are Insane.】

【I came to a hotel buffet with my family, and it was bustling with excitement, everyone seemingly in awe, so I wondered what was going on??? Then I saw our three L-classes sitting there;;;; I thought my eyes were playing tricks, but seeing my family members also astounded, I knew it was real ;;;

It’s not every day you encounter three of them at once, so I was seriously thrown off. But… their images were so different from what I expected. I started suspecting if they were the real deal or if some people were cosplaying…

Headbang kept saying something to Saint, so I listened closely. Know what she said?

Seong Jarim, you don’t have to eat the crab shells. Seong Jarim, I told you to eat the meat, who told you to chew on the fork? Seong Jarim, if you eat like that, you’ll die. Seong Jarim… Did I starve you…?

She had such a hilarious “facepalm moment” later on, but I couldn’t laugh. Everyone around was shaking their heads and shoulders. Meanwhile, Elsa elegantly continued dining, completely unfazed.

There were always talks about the three being close, but seeing it in person, they really are like best friends. L-classes from other countries might be intimidating, but why are our Korean L-cuties so adorable? LOL.

Last point: Elsa footed the bill as if it’d been discussed before. I wonder if Saint and Headbanger found his weakness?】

【Comments】

What’s with the chemistry between those three? Saint, seriously hahahaha I guess civil servant is a really extreme job for Headbang

L-cuties LOL that’s perfect. From now on, our L-classes should be called L-cuties hahahaha.

They’re really cute together haha. Saint is not your average person; this is too hilarious. Might just become my bias from today.

More than that, rumors were flying about Elsa and Headbang being in a relationship, but what’s the deal now? Seeing them play around, they really seem like genuine friends. I doubt Saint would just casually squeeze herself between a couple.

└But if anyone could, it might be Saint, right…?

└2222222

└33333333

That rumor about their relationship was all over the place. It wasn’t just Elsa and Headbang in Busan. Joo Eun’s family and Lee Rohan were also there

└Seriously, I saw it myself. The picture was so… unnecessarily romantic, and right in front, Joo Eun and his wife were walking together

└But honestly, that vibe… was way too…

└Yeah, seriously…

└I agree…

“Wow, that was delicious. Thank you, Kang Sejun.” Seora patted her satisfied belly and grinned widely. Not only did she get the combat suit she liked, but having a free hotel buffet for dinner made it the perfect end to the holiday.

“It’s a shame there’s a time limit. I could’ve eaten more.” Unlike Seora, Seong Jarim expressed disappointment. Understandably so. Her sturdy stomach, capable of digesting even fork along with meat, could’ve sustained her all day long.

“Next time I’m buying, we should only go to buffets. Otherwise, my wallet will cry.”

“Yeah, you’re right. Since my wallet cried this time, next time it’s your wallet’s turn to cry.”

“Oh my, our wealthy mage is being stingy.”

“But you’re wealthy too.”

“I’m actually quite stingy.”

Seora looked at Kang Sejun with a pitying expression as if saying, “We’ve known each other for how many months now, and you still don’t know that?” Kang Sejun just shook his head, admitting defeat in words against her.

“Ah, the holiday’s ending already. Tomorrow I have to return to work!”

“Cheer up. I’ll pray you won’t have any overtime.” Kang Sejun chuckled, finally grasping the situation. As Seora reached out to playfully grab his annoyingly smirking lips, something caught her eye.

“Huh?”

In a corner of her vision, strands of hair with a familiar color fluttered. Seora swiftly turned her head. Amidst the crowd, a particular platinum blonde hair shining distinctly stood out.

The very platinum hair she had seen several times in her dreams.

“Yun Seora?”

“Seora?”

Seora started running in that direction. She didn’t hear Kang Sejun and Seong Jarim’s puzzled voices. She anxiously pushed through the crowd.

The platinum blonde man. Was it really him she saw? Or was it a mistaken similarity? It couldn’t be him, could it? He was someone she only saw in her dreams, after all.

‘No, it was him.’

But no matter how hard she looked, the platinum hair was nowhere to be seen. Eventually, Seora stopped in her tracks, wiping her chin with the back of her hand, feeling an unpleasant sensation.

‘Sweat.’

Her neck was drenched in sweat, even though she hadn’t been running too far. Her heart pounded. Oh, the realization made Seora’s face stiffen.

The man in her dreams exuded a calmness that could dissolve her guard from their first encounter. But the person she discovered now… just seeing him made her heart race.

Could dreams and reality be this different? Was this man naturally exuding such an intimidating aura in reality? If not, then…

‘Is he an entirely different person?’

But the captivating sparkle she had seen in her dream was the same. What on earth had happened? Who was that man?

Seora couldn’t move from that spot for a long time, even as her sweat dried, until Seong Jarim and Kang Sejun came looking for her.

Bang! Lee Gilsang threw the ashtray. The glass ashtray shattered into pieces against the wall. The secretary, who was bowing, dared not lift his head.

“What’s going on? How can that damn thing still strutting around confidently?!” Lee Gilsang shook and stared at his phone screen, displaying a photo of three domestic L-classes having a peaceful meal together. It was a news article that had surfaced online today.

“I apologize. Someone is manipulating the public opinion behind the scenes.”

“Who the hell is it?!”

“We haven’t caught any leads. It could possibly be from the ruling party…”

Lee Gilsang cursed under his breath. That damn Jang Inhu! The blasted ruling party! Do they have no sense? Why are they pushing the Awakened to the top? Can’t they read the currents of the world?

The world is gradually tilting towards the awakened individuals. This could even threaten the positions of those governing the country. This wasn’t an overblown speculation.

In fact, once afflicted by severe issues caused by drug cartels, South America is now under the control of Awakened individuals. Rough hunters disregarded the government’s authority, forming alliances to raid dungeons and monopolize the abundant resources emerging from there. Consequently, non-Awakened individuals living in South America were progressively leaving the country.

One could gauge the atmosphere there just by knowing that the roughest Awakened in the world, Ethan J. Garcia of America, hailed from South America.

Is this solely an issue confined to South America? Lee Gilsang was absolutely sure it wasn’t. It’s inherent in humans to desire power, wealth, or strength—everyone covets it. So, it’s natural for domestic Awakened to emulate them.

How could he, Lee Gilsang, who had pursued only the presidency for over 20 years as a politician, be pushed aside by those damned Awakened? It was preposterous. He had no intention of sitting back and watching such a thing happen.

“Elsewhere! Haven’t we had any contact from elsewhere?”

“Well, after the three L-classes safely returned from the Labyrinth Dungeon, they all sided with the ruling party…”

Lee Gilsang threw the newspaper at his secretary’s head.

The country was going mad. He needed to prepare in advance before being blindsided by the Awakened. Were those in opposition only going to regret after being pushed to the background? Those who were fixated solely on resolving immediate issues seemed pitifully short-sighted.

Thud! Lee Gilsang slammed his desk with his fist, grinding his teeth.

Somehow, he had to pull down that Headbang at least. That girl, known as the daughter of Hyeon Jaehui and Yun Seowu, wouldn’t leave him alone. She may even join hands with Song Hanna and venture into politics. If that happened, it would indeed be a disaster.

He must find a solution.
