105 – This kind of thing is the most fun to watch
After one large-scale request was over, when I thought I had rested enough, I received a text titled “Upgrade Test.”
The outline was as follows.
Hunters who have not been recognized for their skills due to the label of B-class hunter
I want to clearly reaffirm their skills,
Those who have proven their skills through this will be treated as A or higher within Dreamers, even if they cannot deviate from B in the external formal grade according to the regulations.
From a general point of view, this could be said to be quite an unconventional story.
Since he was discharged with a B-class label attached, it was normal for him to be treated as a B-class in his later years in the Black Hunter world.
First of all, the difficulty of the basic quests was different, and it was impossible to get out of the B-class frame even if he made a noticeable achievement.
It was similar to the fact that it is virtually impossible for an ordinary soldier or noncommissioned officer to become an officer no matter how great the effort.
In fact, it was part of even the worst practice in the industry.
For this reason, there are inevitably limitations in the process of negotiating salary, etc., and the treatment received cannot go beyond the B-class limit.
In that respect, even though it was within the company, the offer to treat the person equal to or higher than that of A-class was a story that could be called unconventional if unconventional.
It is said that the opportunity to advance, which was thought to never come in a lifetime, has arrived.
Accordingly, Dreamers’ B-class hunters…
Among them, the so-called hidden talents, who have silently polished their skills despite their innate limitations, at this moment.
‘In the meantime, I’ve suffered a lot of disadvantages in many ways while wearing a B-class ticket.
‘It’s finally here… A chance to turn your life around that you thought would come someday.’
‘Yeah.. if I do well here… can I stand at the forefront in such a battle? As a B-class hunter, I don’t hunt junk mobs, but those monsters with my own hands..’
‘This is your chance. Impressing my sisters… I can do it…’
Like that, the B-class hunters started to have high expectations for an opportunity that might be a turning point in their lives.
On the other hand, the three A-class hunters and Talos who also received the notice also began to feel quite interesting.
“Hmm… It’s a promotion test… Aide also came up with something quite interesting.”
“Yeah… really…”
A glass that speaks with a little anticipation
Regarding this, Joggs answered in a somewhat spleen-sounding voice, and then her gaze moved to Are, who was quietly looking at the cell phone from the side.
“Are you going to participate too? No matter what you do, you are our Dreamers’ flagship hunter.”
“Yes, of course. Since I am the one who put a hand in making this happen in the first place, it is inevitable that the person involved will be left out.”
“… Yes?.. I mean..”
Unlike them, Dreamers’ management… To be precise, it was Are who was directly related to the unknown leader.
In terms of a guild, he was a guild master, and in terms of a company, Iare, who was entrusted with practical management rights, could be said to be the head of the president.
As such, this promotion test, which was supposed to give B-class hunters the authority as A-class hunters based on their skills, was impossible without Are’s permission in the first place.
But..
despite knowing that.
Although it is a part that can be taken for granted and passed on,
At this moment, Joggs began to feel that a corner of his heart was cold for no reason.
‘A story I didn’t know… Maybe.. it was a conversation when the two of them were alone, right?.. while sharing their love..’
A fact that I didn’t want to think about but automatically came to mind.

Joggs could recognize that this was the so-called jealousy.
And at this moment…
In front of her is an opportunity to compete in the name of a test with a so-called rival.
It wasn’t a real battle, and from the point of view of the girls who were already receiving the best treatment as Class A, honestly, this promotion test meant nothing more than simple play… or training. Nevertheless, from Joggs’ point of view, this fight was being accepted as something of a battle of pride that he could not lose.
‘Haa.. Really… How did I end up like this?..’
Of course, if I step back and think about it at this moment, I felt sorry for myself like this, but also funny. Even so, she had a strong feeling that she did not want to lose to Are at all this time.
‘Yes.. Whatever the reason… Let’s do our best for now. If I win this match… maybe Lee Jin-hyun will look after me, right?’
Considering the causal relationship and context, it was a story that made me wonder if it was true, but nevertheless, Joggs decided to put his hopes on this unclear path.

Just like that, in his heart, Joggs is strengthening his determination and ambition that are absolutely not ordinary.
Meanwhile… Talos, who was listening to Joggs’ story, said with a smile on his lips.
“Anyway, sounds like fun. To be honest, I was also curious about how good my skills would be. It would be nice to take this opportunity to find out.”
Although he returned to his human body, Talos still seems to have some elements of the Abyss left.
However, this time, for Talos, he could not see it simply as a time to grasp the power contained in his body.
As a result of the rough measurements already made earlier, her physical ability, which was originally in the second half of A-class, had risen to the level of S-class even at a minimum.
In addition, considering the transcendence of human reflexes and resilience, it was possible to roughly estimate that her personal power might be at the level of a guild master.
But… Apart from this reality, it could be said that the official history of Talos is virtually non-existent as the past records have been thoroughly washed.
If we dare to accurately state her current rank according to the current official record,
Somehow, he received the hunter treatment, but immediately after that, he left the military and was recorded as a D-class hunter with no experience or anything.
As much as this is a situation where you can’t even put a business card in another Black Hunter company
From Talos’ point of view, it was necessary to take this opportunity to rip and fix such an enormously low evaluation within Dreamers.
No, maybe… Due to Jinhyeon’s meticulous personality, this promotion test may actually be conducted for her… to create a basis for a person named Talos to treat her according to her abilities.
As much as Talos himself thought of this, she began to burn more and more enthusiasm than the others here.
‘Adjutant Lee Jin-hyeon… From my point of view, he’s no different than a life saver. That’s why, at least in order to repay the favor, I’ll give you a very certain performance in this promotion test. At least so that I don’t become someone who is treated as a piece of baggage.’
So, Talos is determined to take this opportunity to be recognized for his skills within Dreamers.

Joggs and Talos are showing such enthusiasm.
And looking at Aare who showed interest, Glass said with a warm smile on his lips.
“Everyone seems to be very determined. Then, I will enjoy watching you all play hard.”
“yes?”
“yes?”
“What is that… Glass, are you not participating?”
They express deep doubts about Glass’ unexpected declaration of non-participation.
At this, Glass said with a smile on his lips.
“of course. don’t you know? This is what the original watching position is the most fun. Besides, since I’m already an A-class hunter, there’s nothing to do after I’m promoted and sleeping, so I’ll quietly step back and watch a gut and eat rice cakes. Please show us a lot of fun things.”
“… ”
Glass speaks with a pleasant voice
As a result, the three of them somehow began to feel like they had lost before they even started.
