49 – self proof(2)

Jang Wan-hon, who came closer, patted Kang-hyeok on the back and said.
“It was much better than it looked! You have clearly proven your worth to everyone!”
“It’s an overstatement.”
“Your position will be one of the seven servants of the White Dog Society! Are you okay?”
“I will do my best if you leave it to me.”
Kang Hyuk replied calmly, but deep inside he was very surprised.
The seven servants of the Baekdohoe were the ranks immediately below the president of the Baekdohoe, and could be seen as the highest-ranking executives among the executives. If Jang Hwan-hon was the emperor, Chiljong was in a position that could be seen as a duke.
‘It’s really big. Well, it’s a good thing for me.’
Kang Hyuk smiled.
Afterwards, Jang Wan-Hon told Zhuge Hyeon to listen to the details and then left. After Jang Wan-hon left, the Baekdohoe members who were watching the situation began to approach Kang-hyeok.
“Undead Master! It was really awesome!”
“I knew from the beginning that the Undead Master would win. Aren’t you the kind of person who dares to rub the blade of a sword?”
“Keuuu! You’re really cool! You’re thinking of giving the skeletons a gun!”
The members of the Baekdohoe had heard it clearly. It means that Jang Wan-Hon will entrust the position of the seven species to the undead master.
In fact, Jang Wan-hon’s unprecedented selection was not something that happened once or twice. Because of that, the members of Baek Do-ho decided to maintain a good relationship with the undead master rather than rebel against Jang Wan-hon’s decision.
Baekdohoe was not an organization with clearly divided hierarchies, but the position of Chiljong was a position that could not be easily ignored. So, from their point of view, maintaining a good relationship with the Undead Master could be seen as much more beneficial. If I had a good relationship with him, I didn’t know if I would be able to eat even a piece of rice cake one day.
“hahahahaha, then I’ll see you next time.”
“I will wait for your call, Undead Master.”
After a while, the people who had talked with Kang Hyuk started leaving one by one, and as they did so, only Kang Hyuk, Geomhu, and Jegalhyeon were left in the unarmed.

Jegalhyeon looked at Geomhu with sad eyes for a while, then turned his head and looked at Kanghyeok. he said politely.
“Congratulations. As soon as you enter the society, you become one of the seven species… .”
“Has this never happened before?”
“It is not. There was one even two years ago. He attacked the president in the middle of the fight and instantly became one of the seven servants.”
At Jegalhyeon’s words, Kanghyuk thought.
After all, Jang Wan-hon is a person who likes idiots.
‘No, then you’re saying I’m an asshole too? No, that’s absolutely not the case.’
Kang Hyuk shook his head. Then he asked Jegalhyeon.
“Anyway, what should I do from now on?”
“For now, you just have to wait. When the time comes, the position and duties of the Undead Master will be officially announced. Of course, you can stay here until then if you want.”

Jegalhyeon suggested it, but Kanghyuk shook his head. The facilities looked good, but living with the villains was a no-brainer.
“For now, I will go home. These are my contacts.”
Kanghyuk and Jegalhyeon exchanged contact information.
Later, when Jegalhyeon tried to leave, Kanghyeok caught him.
“No, wait a minute.”
“yes?”
“Are you going to just leave this woman alone?”
At Kang Hyuk’s question, Jegal Hyun made a complicated expression. He was silent for a moment, then spoke.
“Actually, the confrontation between the Undead Master and Swordsman was the last chance for Swordsman. In fact, recently she made a big mistake on a mission.”
Swordsman had volunteered to fight against the Undead Master in order to make up for his previous mistake. But in the end, she was defeated, and because of that, her position became very vague.
“As usual, even if she was defeated in the match, her position would have been the same. However, because she was defeated in a fight to make up for her mistake, she could no longer be considered a member of the Baekdohoe. Either die here, or barely lead the body and escape the Baekdohoe… That is the only option given to her.”
After saying that, Jegalhyeon left the place lonely.
Kang Hyuk seemed to have a rough idea of how the Baekdo Association works. In a word, Baekdohoe was an organization that was infinitely generous to the strong, but infinitely heartless to the weak. Even among the weak, he was especially ruthless towards those who did not know how to properly evaluate his skills.
“Tsk tsk, why are you messing around like that?”
Kanghyuk clicked his tongue and looked down at the Sword Master.
Swordswoman’s body was in a state of bruises, and her breath was feeble. If I left her here, she would surely die.
‘Even if you die, it’s a cheap year. I didn’t even like it from the start! But, it’s a bit wasteful to let them die like this.’
Kang Hyuk touched his chin.
He wondered what it would be like to end the life of the swordsman with certainty. If he did so, he would be able to acquire the swordsmanship ability of the swordsman through the function of the mask of predation.
However, swordsmanship was not compatible with Kanghyuk. His primary weapon was none other than a revolver. So, rather than killing the swordswoman and absorbing her abilities, it would be far more beneficial to keep her alive and use her as much as possible.
“Ugh, I don’t know why I’m so kind.”
Kanghyuk let out a sigh and ordered the skeleton to carry the sword. He intended to treat post-mortem first. Somehow, it seemed like I had to visit ‘Saint Ellen’ after a long time.
***
Ellen was a woman called a saint because of her healing powers and spirit of service. Because of that, it could be said that Kanghyuk would never meet her in a normal case. Where would the undead master meet the saint?
However, Kanghyuk was able to make an appointment with Ellen with just one phone call. The other day, she had made a promise to Kang Hyuk. In any case, he said that he would help Kang-hyeok’s treatment first.
‘… uh, what do you do? Kang Hyuk-nim was supposed to come home soon!’
Luxurious and spacious bedroom.
Right now, Ellen was fidgeting around the room.
She was very excited at the thought of meeting Kang Hyuk after a long time, but at times she was also anxious. The fact that Kanghyuk contacted him meant that he was seriously injured.
… smart!
But it was some time after that.
Suddenly someone knocked on the window, and Ellen opened the window abruptly.
As expected, the one who knocked on the window was none other than Kang Hyuk. But for some reason, there was a woman on his back.
“Long time no see, Ellen.”
“Go, Kang Hyuk! It’s been a really long time! But he… ?”
“Ah, my colleague. In fact, I am not the one asking for treatment, but this one.”
At Kanghyuk’s words, Ellen felt relieved and sad at the same time. The relief was due to the fact that the injured person was not Kang-hyeok, and the sadness was due to the fact that Kang-hyeok’s colleague was a great beauty.
‘Of course you’re a lover, right? Well, it doesn’t make sense that a cool person like Kang Hyuk doesn’t have a boyfriend.’
Ellen let out a deep sigh.
She regretted not being able to see Kang Hyuk often. But that part was something she couldn’t help herself. She was a B-class hero called a saint. Given that status, it was only natural that he wouldn’t be able to meet someone like Kang Hyuk often.
“Anyway, I want you to treat this woman as soon as possible. In fact, I haven’t been breathing since a minute ago.”
“omg! Uh, please put me on the bed!”
When Ellen freaked out, Kanghyuk laid Geomhu on the bed.
Ellen immediately began treating the post-mortem.
Whoops!
“Oh, that’s a terrible wound. I don’t know who it was, but I think it was a really terrible opponent.”
“… .”
“I think I was beaten by a very bad person. How can you be so cruel… !”
“Kuhm-hmm!”
Kanghyuk coughed for no reason and smoked something else.
After waiting so quietly, at some point Geomhu started to breathe again.
“phew. Fortunately, the hardships were over. From now on, I will try to treat them in turn, starting from the heart area.”
“okay.”
Kang Hyuk nodded. But for a while, Ellen showed no action. At that, Kanghyuk tilted his head and asked.
“You said you were getting treatment?”
“that… I have to take off my top to get treatment… .”
