The guilds have been in a state of lull after watching China and Japan for a while.
Of course, the conflict did not disappear, but was only growing inside.
“how will we do it… .”
To be honest, if you specify detailed rules such as what to do when you meet a boss monster in the middle, you can close the conflict to some extent as they are guilds that you have no choice but to follow.
But it doesn’t have to be an underground arena.
I feel it more clearly when I stand on top of so many people.
How to deal with people and organizations.
Conflicts between superiors and subordinates harm the discipline of the organization, but conflicts and competition between subordinates themselves maximize the effectiveness of the organization.
“Isn’t there any way to compete more fiercely?”
Hue is the goat
Guilds that everyone knows in their country.
Of course, your pride and nose will also skyrocket.
How to hurt their self-esteem like that.
“game?”
What is the essence of the game?
That’s competition.
A little more and faster than others.
I pondered for a moment, then said with my eyes wide open.
“Time attack?”
Now, the guilds are competing to catch even one more boss.
However, several factors play a role in this competition, starting with luck.
If you are unlucky, you may spend half a day just looking for the boss monster.
In other words, it is not a fair game score.
If so, very fair.
And what if time attack, which will be a sure measure of skill, is introduced?
“Hey… Will this splatter?”
I’m going to have the guards wrap it around for research and then measure each guild’s boss attack time.
Then, what if the time is revealed?
“Oh.”
You came from a country’s representative guild drop, but you were ranked 30th in the Time Attack ranking?
Isn’t this really crazy and jumping around?
This maximizes conflict and anger.
However, it is a bit difficult to disclose this so blatantly.
No matter who you look at, it’s a source of conflict.
Bona Mana, the chief of staff at the Blue House, is sure to call again and cause a commotion.
If that’s the case, stop disclosing it indirectly.
After all, people can’t help but be curious about the records of other guilds.
I said with a smile.
“great. Let’s go to Time Attack.”
* * *
Yamato Guild’s guild leader Takeshi said with a raised eyebrow.
“shit.”
After the fight with the Eight Dragons Guild, Takeshi was asked to restrain himself from the Japanese government.
On the surface, they criticized China for their national sentiment and pride, but since Japan is closely tied to China in many ways diplomatically and economically, the war with China itself was a kind of burden.
In the end, Takeshi, who could not completely ignore the government’s request, exhorted his guild members and implicitly entered a truce with the Eight Dragons.
Of course, because it was a forced truce by a third party, Takeshi’s anger still hadn’t subsided.
“I should have given you a proper Jailbreak… .”
The deputy chief patted Takeshi on the shoulder and said.
“it’s okay. You can press it properly next time. In any case, can our Yamato guild be worse than Chinese people?”
“Of course!”
Takeshi raised his weapon and said.
“It’s enough for me to be alone with such garbage!”
“Yes, yes.”
The Yamato Guild explored the dungeon like that.
At that moment, Takeshi, who found the boss monster, raised his hand and said.
“stop! found.”
Finally found the boss monster.
“Attack immediately.”
The Yamato Guild, which had thoroughly prepared in advance, switched to the method of rushing to the boss monster as soon as it found the boss monster after being stolen by the Eight Dragons Guild.
His skills also increased, and this was only possible because he was quite proficient in hunting for this boss monster.
The moment when the Yamato Guild rushes to the boss monster.
Isn’t the guild member of the Jeongin Guild attached to the watchtower operating the stopwatch?
The Yamato guild members who saw it were puzzled, but for now, they immediately focused on the boss monster in front of them.
how much time has passed
“Uh-huh.”
The Yamato Guild has finished hunting the boss monster.
Takeshi wiped his sweat and said.
“great. One at a time.”
At that time, Jeongin guild member behind him pressed the stopwatch button and wrote something down in his notebook.
“1 hour 12 minutes 32 seconds… .”
A guild member of the Yamato Guild approached him and spoke in English.
– What are you doing now?
-Oh, it’s necessary for research, so I told you to check the attack time.
Seeing that, Takeshi said with a frown.
“I was doing it, but now I’m doing everything.”
“how will we do it?”
“Leave it alone. I’m not even filming.”
It was a sensitive topic because the guild’s power could be exposed, but isn’t it the guild that attacked these boss monsters for the first time in the world?
Blocking it doesn’t mean much, and if you dare to disagree on such a trivial matter, it will only worsen the relationship.
“By the way, how many minutes?”
“1 hour 12 minutes 32 seconds.”
“Hmm.”
It’s my first measurement, so I don’t know if it’s fast or slow.
“Let’s catch it a little faster next time.”
* * *
The Yamato Guild came out after hunting like that.
At that time, the guard of the Yamato Guild took out a notebook in which he had written down the attack time, approached a man waiting in front of the dungeon and said,
“Yamato Guild 1 hour 12 minutes 32 seconds.”
“okay? Pretty fast, right?”
Instinctively, Takeshi noticed that he was recording the time.
Takeshi looked at them, and said.
“Are you telling me the attack time right now?”
“I think so.”
After being silent for a moment, Takeshi said.
“If you have measured us, will other guilds have also measured you?”
“maybe.”
“Hmm… .”
The Eight Dragons Guild came out of the dungeon just in time.
Likewise, the guard who was with the Eight Dragons Guild approaches the man and says something else.
“The Eight Dragons Guild Guard… .”
Curious, Takeshi approached the man and spoke in English.
-Are you recording the attack time now?
The man nodded and said.
-Yes.
-If it’s not confidential, can I take a look?
Then, as if waiting, the man willingly handed over the data.
– Anything. Let’s see.
-thank you.
Takeshi who received the data like that.
In the data, the guild name written in English and their attack time were listed all the time.
And Takeshi confirmed the attack time of the Eight Dragons Guild.
Takeshi’s lips twitched.
And he spoke in English as if the Eight Dragons Guild and everyone wanted to hear it.
-1 hour 25 minutes 11 seconds?
Naturally, the Eight Dragons Guild, who knew their attack time, stopped and slowly turned their heads towards Takeshi.
and they saw
A smirk hung on Takeshi’s face.
* * *
Time Attack was like pouring oil on the competing guilds.
The skill gap is more clearly revealed because the attack time is purely checked without any variables.
Naturally, the guilds went out hunting like crazy in order to reduce the attack time no matter what you did.
“Unexpectedly, the first place is Russia.”
As the guild of the world’s most powerful country, the American Black Mamba, who looked pathetic at the competition of other guilds, also jumped into this competitive race whether the result was a shock.
Hue is the goat
Guilds where everyone was competing for 1st and 2nd place in their country.
Of course, there was no guild that would readily acknowledge this result.
“It’s fun. Fun.”
Overseas guilds have become routine now to check the record gap with other guilds after hunting.
I said with a smile.
“ruler. Shall we see which guild has the least patience?”
* * *
The conflict between the guilds that sank to the bottom of the water for a while.
The conflict, which had been forcibly suppressed, eventually exploded due to the attack time.
And surprisingly, it started not with China and Japan, but with Britain and France.
“You dare laugh at us?!”
At the words of the British guild member, the French guild member snorted and said.
“Who’s laughing at you? I just saw it because I thought you were suffering.”
“Yeah, I’m only two minutes apart from us?!”
Then the French guild members said with a straight face.
“Only two minutes? Our guild has three fewer guild members, but don’t you think that we got it two minutes earlier?”
Then the British guild members were furious.
“These cubs… Alright, let’s get together! Let’s take this opportunity to decide who’s on top!”
“Okay, you bastards!!”
Thus, a large-scale battle between guilds took place.
And this news sparked a fire in public opinion that had barely been silenced.
* * *
– Representative Jung!!
As soon as the accident happened, a phone call from the chief of the secretary rang.
“Yes, Chief.”
– Measure the attack time, what the hell is this!?
what is it
competing.
“It’s part of the research. We also measure the growth rate of hunters, the efficiency of strategy information, and the power of hunters from other countries.”
Of course, it was all excuses.
-Even if you don’t, you’re going to die of a headache because of China and Japan, but what if the conflict is further aggravated?!
I shrugged and said.
“It was just a measurement, how could I have known that the guilds would give it a meaning?”
– You call it a horse now? There are now 20 wounded in both England and France!
Thankfully, this was the fight right next to the dungeon, so other guilds intervened and dried it out.
But in that short time, the two guilds completely devastated their surroundings.
Since it was near the dungeon, there was no damage to civilians, but even if there were wars between gangsters, the streets would become ugly, not to mention the fights between top-tier guilds.
The media outlets reported the fight between the two guilds as news, blaming the government for failing to stop it, and continued to produce hideous news, saying that if civilians were involved in their fight, they might lose their lives.
“Such. It was a bit harsh this time.”
The chief of staff remained silent for a moment.
-… Maybe because of the stadium?
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“A stadium?”
-Are you deliberately trying to instigate conflict and set up guilds in the arena?
I know it well.
Why do you have to ask me to check?
Knowing that I’m not going to tell you exactly anyway.
“Chief Secretary.”
-… Please speak.
“I will admit that the measurement of the attack time that I promoted became the starting point. intentionally or not. But even if it wasn’t, it was a problem that would explode someday. The representative guilds of each country. Isn’t it strange that there are no accidents when such guilds with strong self-esteem are united?”
It is true that each country suffers from pain due to the giant guilds in the future, but that does not mean that the hunters do not have a sense of patriotism or belonging to their country.
taken from noblemt l
Most likely, the same country, the same people.
They wanted to enjoy unlimited power in their own country, not because they didn’t want the country to collapse.
Not to mention now.
“In that sense, the stadium is the best option. It allows them to avoid the worst case of a head-to-head confrontation.”
You can never go away
Because there are many eyes to see.
So let’s see the two of them in a quiet place.
“Anyway, all guilds have guild members who are close as watchdogs. If there is a fight, we intervene and hold the match. This way, as I just said, the worst case can be avoided. It’s a secret game, so you can keep it secret from the general public, so you don’t have to worry about public opinion.”
In the past, I would have been arguing in front of the chief of staff, but not now.
By the time they accepted my proposal and brought overseas guilds, the government was already an accomplice.
“They are now meeting on a single wooden bridge. A single wooden bridge from which you can never step back. Maybe they want it too? Let someone dry it. I hope someone intervenes. And someone… .”
I said with a smile.
“Please give me an excuse to go on quietly.”
A cause that can keep a minimum of pride and secrets and pass it on as quietly as possible.
– It’s for a reason… .
“I promise. I do it as quietly and secretly as possible. Isn’t it the antipathy of the people that the government is most concerned about? We will take care of that one thing for sure.”
And in return I get full activation of the underground arena.
It also received tacit recognition from both the powerful and upper classes of the Republic of Korea.
“The government only has to do one thing. just be quiet Don’t do anything, just be quiet.”
Just close your eyes and pretend you don’t know.
I’ll take care of the rest.
After all, my term of office is short, right?
It should end as best as possible.
-… Please wait.
So the chief secretary hung up the phone.
I said looking at my phone.
“There is no choice anyway.”
Now, I can’t send the overseas guilds back again, and I can’t vomit the things that have already been conceded.
It is best for the government to simply let it pass as quietly as possible.
Isn’t it the basics of politics to hide the bad and inflate the good?
and how long has it been
Another call from the chief of staff.
-… We don’t know.
done.
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“That’s a sensible thing to say.”
-quietly. I don’t want anything else. Just do it quietly so as not to provoke public opinion.
Because that’s what I want too.
“of course. Oh, and the chief secretary. I am planning to raise an investment in the near future, are you going to invest?”
Since you have received unofficial approval, you should also give a corresponding gift.
-… good investment
“Aren’t VIPs interested? Not necessarily now, but even after the end of my tenure.”
You won’t want any flaws in your tenure.
But after retirement, it’s a different story.
– Hmm… I’m going to ask you a sneak peek.
“haha. Okay. Please contact me again.”
So I finished the call.
Turn the underground arena into a global arena and fully revitalize it so that no one can touch it.
A world where no one can escape my eyes and no one can be free from my breath.
A black market, an underground arena, and an academy all come together.
“great. Start.”
* * *
The British and French guilds lost considerable power in the fight.
Although they urgently brought in reserve guild members from their home countries, it is true that they lack both proficiency and skills compared to the existing elite guild members.
Both sides were upset by the painful loss, but they couldn’t bear to say it.
Because losing here was more than a simple defeat, it was a fatal blow to the pride of one’s country.
Anyway, the two guilds that had been rearranged were roaring with each other as soon as they met while walking in and out of the dungeon.
“Anglo cubs… .”
“What you looking at?”
The two guilds are engaged in an endless battle of nerves, as both guild leaders instruct the guild members to refrain from worrying about additional damage.
From the standpoint of the two guilds, the current situation was the best.
It also gives the impression that you are taking care of your self-esteem and that you are not pushed.
But where do people’s affairs go their way?
A close colleague was hospitalized due to the last fight, and a British guild member, who was up to the tip of his head, swung his middle finger towards the French guild.
“What does that mean now?”
“Do I have to tell you that?”
They growled as if they were running into each other at any moment, but the two guild leaders had similar intentions.
‘It’s difficult to see another defector here.’
‘I can’t back down. shit!!’
That’s when the fight was about to break out.
“Wait a moment! Wait a moment!”
A guild member of the Jeongin Guild entered between the two guilds and began to calm both sides.
When the Jeongin guild showed a movement that seemed to intervene, the two guild leaders were outwardly angry.
“They insulted us first!”
“It wasn’t because you were laughing at us in the first place!”
But inside, I was relieved.
‘Let’s move on to the Jungin Guild excuses in moderation.’
‘If we fight again, the damage is too great. If you lose, the aftermath is too big.’
Anyway, regardless of the intent, the two guild leaders continued to make hard-line remarks.
“Anyway, I can’t back down like this until I get an apology.”
“That’s what we’re going to do!”
At that time, the guild member Jeongin started speaking English.
“If we fight here again, it may turn into a diplomatic issue. But I just can’t go on like this… So we will prepare a quiet and safe place for you.”
As he was put in as a watchman in the UK, he was naturally selected as a guild member who was fluent in English, and thanks to him, a guild member who explains fluently in English.
Then the two guild leaders said with a puzzled expression.
“safe… Place?”
“What… .”
“It’s a secret arena, with Hunter lifeguards and medical facilities. There, the game is played under the supervision of the referee. formally. That way we can finish the match before we get seriously injured, and most importantly, we can finish it quietly where the public won’t be able to see it.”
At the words of the guild members, the guild leaders thought.
‘Referee? Then there will be no serious injuries, right?’
‘It’s not bad… .’
As the guild leaders were silent, guild member Jeongin said.
“Also, it’s a bit cramped for all the guild members to go out, so we’re only going to select about 10 people as representatives and proceed with the game.”
Even if we lose, we are not members of the entire guild, so it is okay to use excuses such as not losing our guild as a whole.
A hundred times better choice than fighting again here, no matter what.
The British guild leader who made the decision in the end said.
“great. There is also the face of the Jeongin Guild, so let’s see the final decision there.”
He did not avoid a fight, so it was a choice that saved his face and left room for even if he lost.
There was no reason to refuse, as safety was also guaranteed.
The French guild leader nodded and said when the tide turned in England.
“Accept it!”
The two guild leaders shouted loudly as if to inform the surrounding guild hunters that they did not avoid a fight.
Hue is the goat
Guild member Jeongin nodded and said.
“good. We will set a date soon and let you know.”
Thus, the world’s first national hunter competition was finally completed.
