Starting with the Cheonmu Guild and the Firebird Guild, several top guilds knocked on the academy’s door to secure talent.
In addition to the systematically organized training for each course and top-notch facilities, the trust that the Jungin Guild and I personally educated.
The guilds started recruiting new guild members from the academy, and most of them were satisfied.
That’s because most of the students who lacked growth momentum left the academy after obtaining a course diploma at an appropriate level.
It’s a natural choice if it’s natural that you don’t have to be there anyway to improve your skills, and you have to keep paying tuition.
Therefore, those who remained in the academy were either freshly awakened first-class students or those who were still growing and could look upwards.
In other words, they are those who have already gone through the screening process once.
Of course, from the point of view of the guilds who only accepted the applications of idiots, the students of the academy were nothing more than a bonanza.
As the guilds expanded their new guild members in the academy, hunters began to flock to the academy in reverse.
Even the hunters who had already graduated and left.
I told the academy superintendent.
“Accept everything.”
We must accept all of these now.
Here, it definitely nailed it to the mainstream, making it difficult for latecomers to even dare to intervene.
There is nothing to lose because we are not giving them free education anyway.
The only thing lacking is the site and the manager.
“We will expand the number of instructors and provide vacant buildings as our top priority if we run out of land.”
At first, while training the instructors with instructors from special forces, the quality as a hunter was lacking, but the quality of the instructors was improved by hiring people with excellent talents in martial arts as instructors, but now it is quantity rather than quality.
“Whether it’s from the Special Forces or whatever, first pick it up. If there are insufficient instructors, it is enough to teach them and place them.”
The headmaster nodded at my words and said.
“All right.”
Not only for the guild, but also for the hunters, making the academy an essential course.
“Take the graduation test for each course once every two months.”
You don’t have to force yourself to take an advanced course.
An ambitious hunter will try to climb up to join a higher guild on his own.
Of course, a top guild can snatch a hunter who shows exceptionally excellent growth among first-level course graduates in advance.
But if there are level 3 and level 4 course hunters, do you want to aim for level 1 course hunters?
That Hunter’s growth might stop there?
as naturally as possible.
And everyone is satisfied.
The academy should be a space for everyone.
A space for guilds where hunters gather and choose the hunters.
And I take over the space itself.
At that moment, the headmaster’s cell phone began to ring.
I raised my hand and said.
“Take it.”
“Then wait a minute… .”
So the superintendent received the call.
“Instructor Lim, what’s going on… Yes?”
The commander-in-chief looked at me and said.
“One student broke his promise and made a contract with another guild, so there were some problems.”
I got headhunted.
That’s likely enough.
“I made a contract, did you break it?”
“It’s not like that, it’s just a verbal promise.”
“Then leave me alone.”
There is no need for me to intervene in a natural phenomenon, maybe if the Jeongin Guild was involved.
“The higher the competition, the higher the value of the students and the higher the value of the academy naturally. If there is a dispute, let the parties resolve it on their own.”
“All right.”
So, after receiving my instructions, the general went out of the office.
“It seems like it should end like this, but… .”
It’s still not bad, but do you have any more innovative ideas?
“After all, what students want is to be strong.”
Acquiring strategy knowledge to become stronger in higher dungeons faster.
“Hmm… .”
I pondered for a moment, then said with my eyes wide open.
“Would you like to open a match?”
It is to open a competition between the academy students for prizes.
Their body data were all secured through continuous testing, but how good they will be in practice is another matter.
Students can get prizes and at the same time, an opportunity to appeal their abilities to the guilds.
Besides, maybe this could be a kind of festival in itself.
“Even if I can’t produce a scene as hot as an underground stadium, I think it will be enough to see.”
Although the position overlaps with the underground stadium, it cannot follow the primal instinct stimulation from the gambling and unlimited rules of the underground stadium, and it does not matter because it already has a kind of secret high-end social club.
It’s a league for the people there, and the academy matches are literally a festival ground.
“This will be fine.”
It’s gambling. It’s enough if you secretly proceed online through the monster arena.
Of course, it is premature right now.
It’s hard to digest the students rushing in right away, but a game with prizes?
There must be some people who rush to join the academy for prizes, so it’s not too late to do it after the system is fully established.
“great. Let’s go like this.”

The guilds rebelled against the government and at the same time recruited low-level hunters into the guild to inflate their size.
Of course, Kim Kang-gyun, who knew what the purpose was, had no choice but to be impatient.
“How many applicants are there?”
As the guilds began to grow in size, the national hunter had to increase his power accordingly.
As soon as Kim Kang-gyun took office, he realized the income of a national hunter.
Unlike the previous government, which paid the minimum salary because the national budget was very conservative and the income gap of Hunters was so different from one person to another, Kim Kang-gyun promised a salary high enough to think that a national job would be okay just looking at the money.
“Although the number of applicants increased quite a bit… .”
Jo Man-cheol blurs the end of his words.
Kim Kang-gyun sighed and said.
“Ha, after all, there are only low-level hunters.”
However, even if he promised such a salary, only low-level hunters, even hunters who had actually stopped growing, were able to attract them.
Of course, the growth has also stopped. The hunters who applied with the idea of living comfortably while earning a salary.
It was unreasonable to expect them to have a strong sense of patriotism and responsibility.
Also, as Jung In-soo swore, the gap between high-ranking and low-level hunters, discovered through various research after taking office, was more than Kim Kang-gyun had imagined.
Kim Kang-gyun’s plan to establish order in the dungeon and apply regulations through them after securing low-level hunters with money was creaking from the start.
Kim Kang-gyun, who was silent for a moment, said.
“… It really is a gift.”
Therefore, the existence of the Hanmu Guild, which Jeong In-soo presented as a gift, shines even more.
“Originally, I was going to take it slowly, but… .”
Although the recent acquittal was completely closed, it was planned to proceed very slowly, but the situation became urgent.
“Hanmu Guild, accept it as a national job.”
Jo Man-cheol said with a firm expression.
“The ruling party will attack.”
“Anyway, there was no evidence and he was released without charges. All the ruling party can do is raise suspicions. You can’t just leave it like this just because it’s scary.”
It is possible to intervene to some extent through national hunters who have secured lower dungeons, but in order to secure order in higher dungeons such as Busan dungeons, it is only possible with hunters who can be active there.
In other words, there is no alternative other than the Hanmu Guild.
“We have come to this point because the previous government neglected the Hunters. If you don’t catch it firmly on the grass, the same thing will happen over and over again. So I’m going to break through. If we put clear shackles on the hunters, the people will continue to support them, and if that happens, we can forcibly break through the suspicions raised by the ruling party without evidence.”
Kim Kang-gyun said with a determined expression.
“Please join the Hanmu Guild. Instead, be as quiet as possible.”
“… All right.”

Kim Woong looked at Hunter Chung and said.
“… It’s a national job.”
At Kim Woong’s words, the guild member sighed and said.
“Hey, how did this happen?”
The Hanmu Guild became gloomy when it came to reality.
“Damn, didn’t we just gather a bunch of hunters like other guilds and try it out?”
At that, Kim Woong said with a smirk.
“Don’t you remember that time? We’ve heard rebellious voices not only from the government, but also from the Hunters. There was no one on our side.”
Woong Kim said looking back at the guild members.
“Apart from the national job, there were only two options we had at that time. Either he was punished according to the law, or he really went out and fought for his life.”
“In the end, you were acquitted. Then it was okay to just follow the law, wasn’t it?”
At the words of the guild member who did not know the exact circumstances, Kim Woong shook his head and said.
“It’s not that simple.”
At that time, prosecutors were prepared to push the ruling party’s push to prison sentences only with circumstantial evidence.
If Kim Kang-gyun hadn’t intervened in the middle, he would have gone to trial.
Kim Woong said with a bright expression on his face.
“How could it have happened like this! You have to do it until you do! Let’s just hold on for five years!”
At first, Kim Kang-gyun insisted on 10 years, but Kim Woong stubbornly said that he could never accept that much, and finally reached an agreement for 5 years.
Of course, since it’s a secret contract, it’s okay to break it, but you can’t pretend to be the president even if you’re already branded as a traitor by the Hunters.
“What if I fall behind? .”
The reason why senior hunters did not apply for national positions was simple.
Because the national hunter has to take charge of all the duties of the police, inspectors, inspectors, etc. in the dungeon.
Apart from overwork, there is not enough time to even hunt.
In addition to that, I am not free as I have to work under the direction of public officials.
Kim Woong said with a smile.
“Let’s try harder. If you don’t have enough time to hunt, you should try to reduce your sleep at night. ruler. let’s go in The chief is waiting for you.”

“Did Kim Woong take office as the manager?”
A report from a hunter who was put into a state job.
The Hunter Agency appointed Kim Woong as the manager and the Hanmu Guild members as team leaders, and dispatched national hunters under them.
Even though he was a civil servant, the Hunter Agency decided to take the position based on the priority of skill.
First of all, the Hanmu Guild was broken up into small pieces, but it was only structured like that for the job, and he said that the Hanmu Guild would mainly be active in the Busan dungeon in the future.
I said with a smirk.
“It will be fun.”
Sooner or later, the government was going to enforce the skill registration system.
However, the problem is that if the guild decides to hide it, there is no way to find out.
If there is only one way, it is to record the way the guild uses skills while hunting in the dungeon and leave it as evidence.
Also, since most of the skills are owned by the top guilds active in the Busan dungeon, the Hanmu Guild will take over virtually all of them.
“There is no way the guilds will stand still.”
Are you chasing after them to check your skills?
What kind of guild in the world would leave it docile?
Besides, the Busan dungeon is a cave terrain, so it’s virtually impossible to sneak around.
Due to Kim Woong’s personality, he will do his best in his work, so clashes with the guilds are obvious.
“Of course, that doesn’t mean anything.”
Past life governments are not stupid.
Every time a new regime came out, I used all sorts of methods to somehow catch the hunters out of control.
So there were actually a lot of regulations in place.
However, the guilds and hunters who had the upper hand in power completely ignored such regulations, and if it was the same, it would have been the same in this life.
The top guilds ignored the skill registration system, and the government had no way to crack down on them in the dungeon, so it would be a practically useless regulation.
But now it’s different.
Because the Hanmu Guild has the power to put forward by the government.
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“ruler. I gave you a chance, so this time, try a little harder.”
* * *
Skill registration system passed by blitz.
However, there were no guilds that disclosed their skills even with the enforcement of regulations.
When there was no response to the ambitious regulations, the card that the government offered was, of course, the Hanmu Guild.
The guilds who were preparing to attack the dungeon said with impressions when the Kim Woong and Han Moo guilds appeared.
“Government bastards have come.”
“Hey.”
Despite the reactions of the hunters, Kim Woong came forward with a nonchalant expression.
“As you know, the skill registration system has been implemented. Please note that in the future, if you are caught using an unregistered skill, you may be subject to punishment as well as a punitive fine.”
Then a hunter said with an absurd expression.
“A fine, but a punishment? On what grounds are you punishing me?”
“It means that we will take preemptive measures, judging that the skill was hidden for a specific purpose.”
Then the Hunter said with a big smile.
“Puhaha. Hey, I’m from the lawyer’s office. If you want to threaten, you have to make a reasonable threat. Do you think that’s possible under our laws? Punishment as a preemptive measure? Are you the kind of guy who will turn everyone into a murderer if you use a knife?”
At the words of Hunter, Kim Woong said with a calm expression.
“I am just passing on what I have been told.”
That’s when Kim Woong was having an argument with Hunter.
“What is it, Hanmu Guild?”
A firebird guild led by Yeom Chang-soo appeared in the Busan dungeon.
Yeom Chang-soo said with a frown.
“You see an unlucky top here. do you have no pride Or are you really messing around with Kim Kang-gyun?”
Yeom Chang-soo approached Kim Woong and said,
“I’ll warn you about meeting like this.”
Yeom Chang-soo looked at Kim Woong and said.
“Be quiet. If you just stay calm, I’ll at least keep your limbs and body intact.”
Kim Woong said with a firm expression.
“What do you mean?”
“Pretend you didn’t see it. I mean, pretend you don’t know. do you understand I can’t understand the atmosphere, but do you think the government will protect you even in the dungeon? Neither your mouse nor your bird could die without knowing it. know?”
“Are you threatening public officials now?”
“Kya, you’ve already become an ardent civil servant.”
Yeom Chang-soo patted Kim Woong’s shoulder and said.
“Anyway, read my words. Do you know that we are the only guild we are looking for right now?”
Higher guilds that have grown in size by expanding lower level hunters.
“Just live quietly. Then I’ll pass on it in moderation.”
At that, Kim Woong said, waving Yeom Chang-soo’s hand.
“Whatever the reason, you have to do your best in what you do. There are no exceptions.”
And the government that absorbed the Hanmu Guild and increased its containment power.
“… I guess he looked funny when he was quiet.”
Yeom Chang-soo said with a smirk.
“great. Let’s try it. who wins.”
The flames of conflict between the guilds and the government, who had been fighting like that, finally spread into the dungeon.
