Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell Chapter 29

– Branch manager. I’m sorry, but I think you need to come to examination room 3 on the 6th floor right away.

When the KHA Gwanak branch manager received a call from an employee, he stopped what he was doing and ran to the 6th floor.

If an emergency situation occurs and an employee who was previously handling the situation on his own asks for help, it is not an ordinary situation.

-What’s going on?

– Well… I guess it’s better to see it in person… It

was the first time that my subordinate, who was always straightforward, was so hesitant to speak.

The branch manager became impatient and headed to the 6th floor, looking anxiously at the elevator lights.

Ding –

As soon as the door opened, a scene of people waiting and chatting was revealed.

“What is that…”

“This is the first time I’ve seen something like that.”

“What day is today?”

They were sitting quietly in the waiting area, waiting blankly for their turn to come, but each of them could not help but be surprised with their eyes shining.

‘What on earth…’

I couldn’t see what was happening in the examination room, obscured by the crowd of people waiting.

The moment the branch manager broke through the crowd and entered, sweating.

“What is all this?”

An unprecedented situation unfolded before our eyes, and the branch manager was at a loss for words.

“Branch manager!”

The staff in the prosecutor’s office looked at the branch manager as if he were a savior.

But there was nothing I could do as a branch manager who received those looks.

Inside.

Some debris was scattered all over the floor.

It wasn’t difficult to figure out that it was a piece of the measuring instrument’s crystal ball.

The crystal ball was shattered and the measuring instrument with only its holder remaining was rolling around on the floor.

Not even one.

As many as three cars.

“Why is this like this?”

And Daesungman, the person who created the measuring instrument like this, was indifferently asking questions.

In this situation, what kind of clever move can he, who is just a branch manager, make?

***

Of course, Daesung did not destroy the measuring device with force.

The Ether Meter, along with the Auror Weapon, is the epitome of new engineering.

This machine was created to fairly and accurately identify awakened people who carry the fortune of the nation, and does not break even when hit directly by a missile.

So the only thing that can happen is that the meter will break.

The only case is when the crystal ball explodes on its own.

Of course, such a thing could never happen to the extent that it is not worth including in the scope of the assumption.

In Korea… or anywhere else in the world that owns hunters, there has been no incident of a crystal ball exploding.

But I never thought it would happen here.

“When this person put his hand on the crystal ball… at first the colors came and went.”

“Yes, then it started to gradually crack, and in the meantime, it was completely destroyed.”

The branch manager felt a headache after hearing the employees’ testimony.

Since it was immune to being hit by a missile, I couldn’t even think of using any kind of helpless Auror technique.

“Isn’t the meter defective?”

“At first, we thought it was like that too, so we brought out a new one.”

“…Oh, that’s right. “There’s no way all three units are defective.”

The branch manager was heartbroken because one measuring instrument was equivalent to the price of a standard officetel building.

While the branch manager and employees put their heads together to figure out the cause of the situation.

“hey.”

Daesung, who did not want to delay any longer, opened his mouth.

When a deep voice came out, the branch manager’s gaze turned.

“What should I do from now on? “What are the results?”

“….”

The branch manager said, “That’s what I want to say.”

A person waiting for judgment in an unusual situation and with unusual visuals.

The branch manager had no idea how to interpret this.

‘Eh, I don’t know.’

If we continue with the judgment like this, only the gold-like measuring instrument will fly away.

The association has prepared measures to prepare for similar situations.

Now it’s time to play that card.

“You said it was Mr. Han Dae-seong, right?”

“yes.”

“Hmm… I guess this is our first time encountering this, so…”

The branch leader carefully began his next words while looking around at the fragments of the crystal ball scattered on the floor.

“I think we’ll have to make a borderline decision.”

“Borderline?”

“This is a temporary judgment given when the measuring instrument cannot produce clear results.”

“So you’re saying the decision is being withheld?”

“On hold… Yes, if you ask me, it’s on hold, but don’t worry… Do…?”

At this time.

The shrewd branch manager saw it.

The moment he said the word ‘hold’, Daesung’s eyes turned ever so slightly grim.

The officer, who instantly had cold sweat running down his spine, swallowed his saliva.

‘Wow Mr. If you say something wrong, they’ll rip out your spine.’

The branch manager, who had no intention of going against his wishes, hurriedly added further explanation.

“Even if you are a borderline student, it will not affect your ability to take the licensing exam.”

“hmm.”

“I will speak carefully to the person in charge so that even the slightest problem does not arise. Do not worry.”

Licensing Examination.

If you have been declared an awakened person by the association, you can take the exam regardless of your final grade.

If you think that the Awakened Equal Hunter is a big mistake, you are mistaken.

Just as you need a license to get behind the wheel, you must obtain a license to be approved for all activities related to hunters.

Daesung also knew that, thanks to the explanation he received from Seong Chan-ho last night.

“Since we can’t make a decision with a crystal ball, the judges there will determine the final grade based on the results of the licensing exam.”

“Are those judges trustworthy?”

A decision made by a human with a subjective perspective, not a decision made by an object such as a crystal ball or a machine.

It was natural to have doubts.

Of course, the branch manager also understood that feeling.

“The results of the test will indicate whether you passed or failed, as well as the ranking among test takers. “You can rest assured that grades are determined based on clear criteria.”

“Hmm….”

“Although it is extremely rare, those who actually have a borderline due to a defective crystal ball receive the final decision through this method. And there has never been a case of dissatisfaction with the results.”

In other words, the higher your ranking in the later exam, the higher your grade will be.

Today, I only have the minimum qualifications to take the exam.

‘There’s nothing we can do.’

Even though I was dissatisfied, I didn’t act unreasonably.

If I were to be harsh here, it would mean that my personality is no different from that bald guy from before.

“Well sir.”

Anyway, the path to becoming a hunter has been opened, so you’ve got what you need.

Daesung left the examination room and headed to the elevator.

“Yes, then take a look.”

The branch leader bowed politely towards Daesung’s back.

Meanwhile, the association staff, who were quick to get things done, were asking for understanding from the remaining waiters. We are currently preparing a new measuring instrument, so please wait.

“Ugh, this is why I can’t live with my expulsion.”

After seeing Daesung disappear, the branch manager looked at the mess inside the prosecutor’s office and sighed.

The employee who sent the message earlier approached me and said,

“That branch manager.”

“why.”

“The measuring instrument’s crystal ball reacts to the energy of the other world in the awakened person’s body, right?”

“yes. “Why is that?”

“No, maybe…”

The clearer and stronger the energy, the more violently the crystal ball reacts.

So, it is said that when an awakened person with a truly sacred and powerful aura touches the crystal ball, the white bead turns golden, reminiscent of the sun.

But what if.

“Could it be that the otherworldly energy he possessed was so great that even a crystal ball could not contain it?”

“….”

“So this exploded like this-”

Phew.

The person who burst into laughter was a junior employee who was quietly listening in the background.

Since he was in front of the branch manager, he couldn’t even kick his shins, so he just silently sent a murderous glare towards his subordinate.

The branch manager clicked his tongue.

“It’s worth a laugh. Well then. “What do you mean, that person is some kind of SSS level?”

“That could happen.”

“men and horses. Make sense. Amman: They say the world seems like a fantasy these days…”

The S-class is the only one officially registered in literature.

There is nothing more.

The limit of what is realistically possible is S-class.

“He’s not a god, he’s some kind of SSS level bastard.”

***

As I left the entrance of the building, a cool breeze gently enveloped my face.

Daesung, feeling relieved after completing one task, called Chanho Seong.

[uh! Daesung!]

It’s a very lively voice, ready to celebrate.

“okay.”

[Have you been judged? What is the result?]

“It’s called the border line.”

There was silence.

Although it was a short silence, many thoughts must have passed through Seong Chan-ho’s mind.

[Border line? They said the meter went crazy?]

“No.”

[So?]

“The meter is broken.”

When Daesung said that, Seong Chan-ho spoke in a slightly fearful tone.

[Hey, you… you didn’t mess around there, did you? No, it’s not something you can break just because you’re acting up…?]

“I didn’t do it.”

[Did you put your hand on the measuring instrument as instructed there?]

“Uh.”

[But the meter is broken?]

“Huh.”

[How can you be such a fool that you can’t predict even 5 minutes in advance?]

No matter how much he explained what he experienced, Seong Chan-ho couldn’t understand.

It was understandable since it was an unprecedented case.

The phone call with Seong Chan-ho continued until Daesung arrived home.

The long phone call ultimately came to an end.

[I guess I have no choice but to do well on the test and get a high grade.]

“It doesn’t matter.”

[Okay, whatever. Anyway, I get it. Enter the house carefully. I will send you the test date and syllabus through a link later.]

Beep –

After hanging up the phone, Daesung arrived home, opened the front door, and went inside.

As soon as I heard the door close, Jisoo came out to see me off.

“The soup is all cold.”

“sorry.”

“It’s getting to the point where it smells like something that pork doesn’t have. “Why are you so late?”

“It happened.”

“Ugh.”

Growling –

Just then, a sound came out from Jisoo’s stomach.

She looked at Daesung with dark eyes.

“I can hear? “It’s a sound from my stomach.”

“sorry.”

“Do you know that I’m sorry about my brother?”

While Jisoo was laughing, Hyejeong said as she placed the soup in a disposable bowl on the table.

“Stop, both of you, sit down. “You must be very hungry.”

After a while.

A family of three sat around a table filled with steaming pork soup.

No sooner had he lifted his spoon than Daesung opened his mouth.

“The world has changed a lot. “When I watched the news, I saw a monster popping out.”

It was something I just said in passing without much thought.

However, he hid the fact that he was at the scene where the incident occurred.

Because I didn’t want to worry my family for no reason.

Stop.

After hearing Daesung’s words, Hyejeong stiffened for a moment and then spoke softly.

“…You noticed.”

The dinner table, which would normally be a place where family members would chat noisily, became very quiet.

Jisoo, who should have been chatting the most, showed her wit and kept quiet.

Because here, it was Hyejeong’s time to bring it up first.

Apology.

“…I’m really sorry mom for not telling me sooner.”

It was an apology handed to Daesung.

“The world changed like this while you were down. I should have said something sooner. That’s right. But…”

Hyejeong herself knows that it’s an excuse.

But it was an unavoidable choice.

Although she felt sorry for her son, Hyejeong did not think that her choice was wrong.

“Mom, I’m afraid you’ll be too shocked. So I couldn’t speak. “I just woke up and regained consciousness… How can I immediately say something about a monster appearing in the world or something?”

What I was most afraid of was when my son, who had just regained consciousness, went into shock after hearing something shocking.

So, I tried to convince him slowly over time.

Fortunately, Daesung doesn’t usually watch TV or watch the news, so I thought I could keep the secret a little longer.

But it was still impossible to cover the sky with the palm of your hand.

“I’m sorry, son. “Mom, I can’t help you, but I keep-”

“It’s okay.”

Daesung couldn’t just watch Hyejeong make a painful expression.

“I heard everything about what happened from Chanho yesterday. “Just do it.”

As much as possible, try to prevent Hyejeong from feeling unnecessary guilt.

Daesung said that calmly.

“What’s important is that even though the world became like this, my mother and Jisoo were not hurt during this time.”

“….”

“I’m grateful for that.”

Honest words from the heart.

Only then did Hyejeong relax her expression and slowly smile.

“Oh and.”

Daesung, who wanted to get away from the heavy topic, changed the topic.

“Is there anything you and Jisoo would like to have?”

“why. “You make it sound like you’re going to buy me something?”

Jisoo jokingly laughed at the unexpected question.

“just. curious.”

I didn’t tell him that I was going to be a hunter.

Moreover, in a situation like this, he absolutely had to refrain from making comments that would incite Hyejeong’s worries.

Just as she took her time to convince herself, Daesung also planned to take his time to convince her.

Of course, it will be revealed soon.

The day when I can become a hunter and proudly reveal the source of my money is never far away.

also.

‘There is one more reason to walk the path of a hunter.’

After seeing the gate fracture explode and the goblins running wild yesterday, he had made up his mind.

‘A situation like yesterday shouldn’t affect Mom and Jisoo.’

Besides making money and making my family happy.

I decided to stop all the gates and monsters that exist in the world.

***

After mealtime, Daesung immediately checked his phone.

When I opened my inbox, there was a link to the licensing exam recruitment guideline sent by Seong Chan-ho.

Daesung clicked on the link and accessed the association’s website.

< Notice of the first half hunter license exam >

The first half hunter license exam syllabus is announced as attached, so please check the exam schedule and prepare.

Test date: April 12

Test location: Stadium training center in KHA Branch 1

Eligibility

A. A person who does not fall under the grounds for disqualification under the relevant laws and regulations.

me. Must be 18 years or older.

C. Those who have received an awakening judgment of F or higher (including border line).

‘There are about ten days left.’

Seong Chan-ho said there is nothing to prepare until the exam period.

The exam is entirely comprised of practical tests.

To prepare for that, some people educate themselves or enter hunter training centers… -Why would

a guy who can defeat an army of goblins single-handedly go to a training center? They say Bill Gates is entering engineering school.

Seong Chan-ho said that and added that he should take care of his health until the exam.

That was correct.

‘But I can’t just sit still.’

Originally, Daesung did not intend to give his best in this hunter exam.

This is because once the association has decided on the level that determines future income, all you have to do is stick to the line that will allow you to pass the test.

However, today, when the grading was supposed to be completed, the hold was put on hold.

In other words, from now on, he must take the licensing exam perfectly in ten days.

‘It was better.’

Rather than leaving your fate to a machine like a measuring machine.

This means that a path has been opened for you to achieve your future with your own skills.

‘You can’t flutter around.’

The time has come.

It’s time to use Pantheon.
