17 – I put two copies to express my gratitude for the grace so far.
“that… okay? You mean you went away like that?”
“Yeah, while saying that he felt responsible for this incident or something. Even upstairs seems to have accepted it naturally as there was nothing to raise a big issue about that part itself.”
“Umm.. that’s right.. I mean..”
Listening to Jiyoon’s report, Sena looked a little taken aback.
Honestly, the current situation could be said to be Choi Han’s actions as she asked.
However, even so, Choi Han applying for a transfer under the pretext of moving out and completely leaving this place was something that she hadn’t even thought of.
Although I had the idea of applying for a replacement as an aide-de-camp as I didn’t like Choi Han that much, I really didn’t know that it would happen this quickly.
‘Well… since this is what happened, I should think positively first. The person who will go anyway has gone, and a better person might come next.’
While comforting herself like that, Sena struggles to maintain her composure.
However, while seeing her like this, Seo Ji-yoon did not show it, but was clicking her tongue inwardly.
‘You look like a pathetic bitch.. I knew it would turn out like this. Who is the person who brought a bitch like you here as a guild master? Now that that person is gone, you will soon realize it too. What a beggar you did with your own hands.’
The humiliation of narrowly succeeding in a B-class mission was just the beginning.
Now, less than a month has passed since Adjutant Lee Jin-hyun left.
In Jiyoon’s eyes, he was already seeing the cracks that were forming all over the guild.
The deadly cracks that could not be handled by ordinary adjutants, and which could only be filled by Lee Jin-hyun’s ability.
‘Anyway, another new lieutenant will come after this, but I don’t know how long he will last. No.. but if someone with some level of skill comes, maybe…’
It was Ji-yoon who was trying to put hope in the current situation while thinking about that.
at that time..
-bang!
Suddenly, the loud sound of the door opening in her ears.
At this, Jiyoon and Sena simultaneously turned their eyes to the door, automatically thinking that the owner must be Najiseon.
But..
“Uhhhh”
“yes? What is Choi Yujin, why are you…”
“What’s going on? Why are you in such a hurry?”
Choi Yoo-jin is gasping for breath as she has run so quickly.
Seeing her like this, the two of them were puzzled and questioned.
and..
Toward them, Choi Yu-jin slowly held out her cell phone and spoke urgently.
“Look at this… look at this… ha… it’s a big deal!”
“What the hell is going on…”
Se-na and Ji-yoon urgently receive the cell phone that Eugene Choi held out.
Right after that… their faces began to stain with contemplation.
A news article being displayed on a mobile phone.
It was… an article about the previous 28 guild’s B-class missions, and the main point was that they had suffered a huge loss in the B-class missions that had even solved even the S-class missions.
And the issue pointed out as the cause of the current situation is…
“The S-class hunters’ poor preparation for battle… And… the atrocities committed by ignoring the commander’s orders?..”
Sena speaks in a boiling voice filled with anger.
Then, she instantly looked at Eugene with cold eyes while releasing hatred that was close to living.
“What the hell… how did this happen? How could the media know about this… that we left without managing our weapons!”
“I… I don’t know. The only ones who know about this are the hunters under our command and the aide-de-camp Choi Han who is gone now…”
“That’s the worst… The dog is … where is that baby now? It doesn’t matter which unit you are in! You can’t even put your feet on this floor right now… No, there’s no need for that, I’ll go there myself and twist that bastard’s neck!”
Sena is determined to find where Choi Han is and kill him.
At that time, looking at Sena like that, Jiyoon tried to stay as calm as possible and spoke in a voice that barely lost her cool.
“Calm down, I know how you feel, but I’m not going to be so emotional about it. Above all, it is impossible to conclude that this news came from that person.”
“What nonsense! Who else would do something like this in a situation like this? It’s definitely what the baby has done .. It is clear that we have been tired of us and eaten it once! ”
“ha..”
Watching Senna burst into flames without hesitation, Jiyoon let out a heavy sigh.
But… that didn’t mean that Jiyoon had given up on persuading Sena.
“Think about it, if Choi Han isn’t really an idiot, how could he try to f*ck us up in such an obvious way? Right now, that person must have known very well what would happen to him if he had offended you wrongly, right?”
“!..that..that..”
Sena is slightly speechless at Jiyoon’s words.
And taking advantage of her gap, Jiyoon continued her conversation in a calm voice.
“Also, there is one more fact that you are overlooking… although a limited number of people have heard the conversation about the state of weapons at that time. If you look closely at the video uploaded for the battle report, someone with a good eye could probably get a rough idea of your situation, like how you frequently turn off and on the Rosecutter, or how Yujin forces you to conserve ammunition in a hand-to-hand fight. I mean the same thing.”
“Ummm..”
“Kuh..”
At Jiyoon’s words, Yujin could only nod slowly, and Sena couldn’t refute either.
Certainly, combat videos recorded from the commander’s point of view are reported to the upper level unless there is a special reason, and in the process, some of them are inevitably exposed to the media.
In fact, even the video on the news right now is showing those parts and criticizing Senna and Yujin item by item.
Considering that fact, as Jiyoon said, it was impossible to conclude that the person who broke this incident was Choi Han.
“Damn it!!”
-bang!-
So, with her feelings for Choi Han gone, Sena began to pour out her anger toward the poor furniture, and Eugene asked Ji-yoon with concern, leaving Sena behind.
“Well then… Aside from the part about Choi Han, what do we do from now on? If news like this came out, it would probably be noisy for a while..”
“Haa.. Since it was openly exposed that I showed this level of indecent behavior in a B-class commission… If a conversation or interview request comes in, it would be better to apologize and admit that there was a mistake on this side, rather than making a clumsy excuse. Just because there is a suitable excuse.”
“role?”
At Jiyoon’s words, Eugene asked with some expectation, and Jiyoon spoke in a calm voice while checking the comments of netizens against them in the news comment section.
“Yeah, like there was confusion in the chain of command when the adjutant changed… it was a bit emotionally difficult.”
“Um… ”
He was not very happy with Jiyoon’s words, but at first it was Eugene who agreed.
As she said, if I made a lame excuse here, there was a risk that things would only get worse.
It was far better to accept some mistakes, let go of the emotional appeal, and then keep quiet until things calmed down.
“Haa.. If this happens, I will have to cancel all of these CFs. The cancellation fee will also be greatly broken..”
“I can’t help it. Still, in a way, I’m glad it ended here. If only one person had died, then there would have been no answer.”
“It is, but…”
Two people who feel bitter about the damage they will suffer.
However… unlike Yujin, who believed that the current situation was purely unlucky, Jiyoon was able to roughly guess the inside story of what had happened.
‘I said that, but this time.. I’m sure that person committed it. No matter how many videos have been released, there will be very few people who will search and analyze them one by one. Above all, considering the situation is strangely specific, perhaps…’
Even so, Ji-yoon was well aware that he had no choice but to shield Choi Han, and he actually acted that way.
Even though she didn’t like the current situation, it was obvious that if Senna actually retaliated against Choi Han in a situation where the actual evidence was unclear, things would become more complicated.
In fact, instead of revealing all the absurdities that Choi Han suffered in the 28th Guild, the reason why he did it indirectly like this must have been because he was aware of that fact.
In the end, the officers of the 28 Hunter Guild, including Ji-yoon, ended up in a position where they had no choice but to apologize to the public due to Choi Han’s attack.
As a result, the S-class hunters, including Sena, had to face public disgrace by bowing their heads in front of the whole country.
‘Damn… why did I even have to do this?’
‘Keep your head down, if it explodes here, we’ll all be finished.’
‘ha. Because of these rude bitches, even me.’
‘Jinhyun oppa.. please come back..’
However… their misfortune did not end there.
they didn’t know,
Due to Choi Han’s post on the site dedicated to lieutenants, along with an expression asking him to refrain from leaking it, the story spread among the lieutenants that the 28th Guild, once considered a rising star, was their grave, and the 28th Guild was avoided by the lieutenants. It was taken very firmly as Guild No. 1.
And in the end, it could be said that the deployment of a competent lieutenant that Ji-yoon had hoped for was virtually over the water, and it signaled the start of the relay to replace the aide-de-camp on a monthly basis.
