Jeong Dae-sik thought for a moment and said.
“If there was a need for a better contract than this, I would have suggested it first. I didn’t come into this raid just to audition for some benefit. Above all, I’m not an all-in-one yet. Triple list is correct.”
Hearing those words, Kang Young-hoo frowned slightly.
“Then why do you get tax exemption…?”
“It’s a benefit to my potential.”
“It’s just a triple list right now, but it could be an all-in-one in the future, right?”
Jeong Dae-sik spoke about the fact that he was gradually increasing his abilities in an appropriate adaptation.
Then everyone agreed on the fact that Jeong Dae-sik might acquire more types of abilities in the future.
“So, if it’s a contract adjustment, it doesn’t matter if we do it next time.”
At Jeong Dae-sik’s words, Kang Young-hoo stroked his chin.
“Now that I think about it, I’m curious again. Why did you join our raid? There must have been more opportunities.”
In response to Kang Young-hoo’s question, Jeong Dae-sik spoke frankly.
“Actually, I want to create my own raid.”
No one was particularly surprised.
Isn’t it something that every hunter dreams of at least once?
Kang Young-hoo also seemed to have guessed and asked Jeong Dae-sik’s answer to some extent.
“I chose this place because I thought the way the Titan Raid operates was similar to what I thought it would be.”
“Okay… Then, instead of arranging the contract, let’s make another proposal.”
“What do you mean?”
In response to Jeong Dae-sik’s counter-question, Kang Young-hoo brought up an unexpected story.
“When you create a raid, I… no, to be precise, I hope the Titan Raid can invest.”
Jeong Dae-sik was a little perplexed as he hadn’t thought of that at all.
“Um, thank you for your words, but it’s still in the distant future.”
“I’m not saying we’re going to write a contract right away. I want to make a promise, even verbally. Should I say it’s a preemption? Of course, I promise to give full support to the creation and operation of the raid as much as it is an investment.”
This was not a bad story for Jeong Dae-sik.
No, it was a good story.
Rather than starting from scratch, if you can rely on a robust raid like Titan Raid, you will be able to operate much more stable.
In addition, if it was a small raid specializing in raids that Jeong Dae-sik was envisioning, he might not need a base like the Titan Raid.
Of course, you could try to control Jeong Dae-sik’s raid as an excuse, but that was a matter of Jeong Dae-sik’s ability.
Jeong Dae-sik nodded his head because he was not going to receive an investment right away, so it wouldn’t matter to keep a promise.
“Thanks for the generous suggestion. If I create a raid, I’ll owe a lot to the Titan raid.”
“We’ll owe you a lot when you’re all-in-one.”
Jeong Dae-sik shook hands with Kang Young-hoo and left the office.
Kim Si-on said he had something to discuss with him, so he went to the banquet hall alone.
I hurried out in the morning to attend the enlistment ceremony, and I was quite hungry.
I was in a hurry to go to the banquet hall and eat something, but suddenly someone grabbed my arm from behind.
Jeong Dae-shik was dragged to the corner of the hallway like a fish on a hook.
At the entrance of the emergency staircase, which was dark in the shadows, Jeong Dae-sik was unexpectedly hit by a wall.
“you!”
Because it was an attack that was not expected at all, Jeong Dae-sik was pushed by a fierce momentum and opened his mouth in a haphazard manner.
Then, Choi Hee, the person who snatched Jeong Dae-sik in front of him and brought him here, put her face close and revealed it.
“Are you really going to be an all-in-one?”
At some point, Choi Hee was talking to Jeong Dae-sik.
Choi Hee deserved to be said to be the leader of the Titan raid, one year older than Jeong Dae-sik, had a much longer career as a hunter, and had a higher rank than him.
However, that was no reason to keep talking to Jeong Dae-sik.
Kang Yeong-hoo is the raid commander and commander of the engineering team, so it’s natural to talk to the general crew, but Choi Hee is not strictly Jeong Dae-sik’s boss.
“I can’t say for sure because it’s still just a triple list.”
Hearing Jeong Dae-sik’s tone, Choi Hee frowned, but did not point out the fact.
Instead, he continued to talk nonsense, as if it was okay because you said it too.
“I didn’t wake up early because I was chosen by God. How can someone like you be able to say so proudly that they can become an all-in-one?”
“I don’t think I’ve ever said that out loud.”
“Did the god who chose you promise something? You’re going to be an all-in-one?”
Jeong Dae-sik was a little surprised.
The nuances Choi Hee spoke were unusual.
I don’t know if it’s a guess, but I didn’t know if she was chosen by a special god like Jeong Dae-sik, not an ordinary god.
‘Maybe this woman was also chosen by Democritus like me?’
Jeong Dae-sik quickly withdrew that assumption.
If so, I wouldn’t have asked about the possibility of an all-in-one like I do now.
He would have known that if he had the talent, he could become an all-in-one with just money.
“Yeah, my god promised me an all-in-one.”
Democritus had never said anything like that, but his ingenuity made it possible to go all-in-one.
It would be possible to acquire all types of abilities right now.
So saying that I received a promise from God was not 100% a lie.
Then, Choi Hee turned into a very depressed expression.
“Yeah… that’s right… God chose it…”
Choi Hee lowered her head slightly and lowered her eyelids.
As the fierce expression on her face softened, the forgotten beauty was revived.
Jeong Dae-sik could not help but admire that face involuntarily.
‘Wow, your skin is so pretty! That’s what porcelain skin means.’
She stood very close, thanks to which her face was very visible.
In the sunlight coming in from the entrance, even the fur on his cheeks could be seen through.
The blush was like a baby’s cheek.
The smell of the body was also fragrant.
It didn’t smell like cosmetics like an adult woman, but a light lotion smell.
Then, all of a sudden, the situation changed.
‘Wait, isn’t this too close?’
She was standing in front of Jeong Dae-sik with her arms against the wall, a situation that could be misunderstood by others.
It looked like Choi Hee was attacking Jeong Dae-sik.
Of course, there was no reason for a person as tall as Choi Hee to attack one member of the crew, Jeong Dae-sik.
Her rating was higher, so I couldn’t find the reason in the myths floating around among the Hunters.
Jeong Dae-shik thought about those facts and drove out the useless thoughts that bubbled up in his head.
‘What am I delusional about now?’
But his eyes didn’t listen.
Jeong Dae-sik gently lowered his eyes and glanced at the bust that was exposed under the loose-fitting T-shirt.
‘…Your breasts may be smaller than you think.’
I was tasting the feeling of disappointment or excitement, and Choi Hee slowly backed away.
And muttered in a very weak manner.
“…Then, is it unreasonable for me to become stronger here…?”
Choi Hee left the entrance and disappeared from Jeong Dae-sik’s view.
Looking at the place where she had gone, Jeong Dae-sik was a bit absurd.
‘No, what are you going to do by getting stronger over there?’
“Hey, take this!”
Jeong Dae-sik was dazed in thought, then came to his senses when he was hit by a bouquet of flowers that Ki Cheol-min had thrown at him.
“What are you thinking while sitting alone?”
Gi Cheol-min sat next to him and talked to him, wondering if it was strange to see him without his face.
In fact, since it was a banquet that served as a follow-up to the enlistment ceremony, the main characters were Jeong Dae-sik and Ki Cheol-min, the two of them.
And it was Jeong Dae-sik who got the crew’s attention.
The members of other units, who had not had a chance to meet him, hesitated to say something to him, but as Jeong Dae-sik was sitting with a serious expression on his face, everyone could not approach him.
In the end, Ki Chul-min, who had not seen him, came forward and spoke to him.
The members of the one-eyed unit to which he belonged even stabbed him in the side, so he used the flower bouquet as an excuse.
In response to Ki Cheol-min’s question, Jeong Dae-shik looked at him with new eyes.
And suddenly, even Ki Cheol-min said something he had forgotten.
“You said your only goal is to be strong, didn’t you?”
“Huh? Ah… Uh. That’s right. Isn’t that the case with all Hunters?”
Jeong Dae-sik frowned at what Ki Cheol-min said as if it was natural.
“Even if you say you are much stronger than you are now? Level 5… Level 4… No, even if you become strong enough that no one in this world can match you, would you think that way?”
Jeong Dae-sik spoke seriously.
“I don’t think I would do it.”
“Yeah, what do you do when you become stronger? Being the best in Korea doesn’t mean that you are the best in the world? But can you still want to become stronger? At that point, shouldn’t you leave the task of becoming stronger to someone else and enjoy life?”
Ki Cheol-min was puzzled when he asked Jung Dae-sik in a way that he could not understand at all.
“Who are you talking about now?”
Jeong Dae-sik kept his mouth shut as he couldn’t confide in Choi-hee’s affairs.
Then Ki Chul-min said, “Hmm!” spit out a sound and said
“There may be monsters that even the strongest hunters can’t resist? Like the giants that appeared during the last monster break.”
“There’s no guarantee that the giant will appear again. There’s no guarantee that you won’t be defeated just because it appears? It’s an impending future. It’s a hypothetical enemy.
“Or it could be the purpose of getting stronger.”
From the perspective of Jeong Dae-sik, I did not understand.
Being strong is a means.
Could that be an end in itself?
Wasn’t it like becoming strong to become rich, becoming strong to fight off giants, becoming strong and becoming a hero to everyone?
