Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell Chapter 57

057

“Crazy, crazy.”

Beyond the car window.

Seong Chan-ho looked at the gate slowly closing with increasing amplitude and almost dropped the cigarette in his mouth.

“Is this already?”

“Oh my god…”

The soldiers in charge who were waiting in front of the construction site and watching the gate could not close their mouths.

As soon as Daesung

stepped out of the violently shaking gate and set his feet on the ground, the gate disappeared without a trace.

One level 5 gate.

Five level 4 gates.

I cleared all six gates I had reserved last night.

Total time consumed is 1 hour and 24 minutes including travel time.

Considering that even for a level 5 gate, it takes at least 2 hours to close, the speed was truly amazing.

Tak –

Daesung, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said with a face without a single drop of sweat.

“The message is not going anywhere.”

“….”

“If we have some free time after lunch, let’s make another reservation.”

“Crazy guy.”

Seong Chan-ho, who was confused as to whether he really had a person as a friend or a monster as a friend, let out a laugh.

“It’s lunch and all, Daesung, let’s tell Guinness about this. This is Guinness. “Is there anyone in the world who can eat six gates in less than two hours?”

“There wasn’t any?”

“There will be nothing like this in the entire history of hunters in the world.”

It was also a very unusual thing for Sung Chan-ho himself.

Even when I worked for the < Soul > clan, I had never been able to handle six gates’ worth of ether cores and settle the compensation in one day.

Anyway, I felt good because I made 6 days worth of profits in less than 2 hours.

“And you said you solved the level 2 gate fracture that happened near here the day before yesterday.”

“uh.”

“It seems like you don’t really feel it right now because you don’t know much, but this isn’t normal, right?”

“What does that mean?”

“This is my feeling, but the probability is about 80%. “KHA will contact you soon to ask if you would like to become S-class.”

“….”

S-class.

A level that can only be achieved by those who are not only extremely strong but also have achieved achievements recognized by the association and the public.

“You blocked the level 2 gate fracture alone, and why is that place in Dogok-dong, where many high-ranking people live? “You solved the problem that almost caused the association to be abused.”

In other words, KHA owes money to Daesung.

Even if I feel sorry, I will somehow repay the debt and make compensation.

Seong Chan-ho predicted that the reward would be to recognize Daesung as the sixth S-class hunter.

“If it matches my expectations and such an offer comes to you, Daesung, what will you do?”

“You have to accept it.”

Seong Chan-ho widened his eyes as if he was surprised by the unexpected immediate answer.

“You’re the kind of person who hates troublesome work. “If you become S-class, you’ll get caught up in a lot of annoying things, right?”

“Because there is a difference between a hassle that must be avoided and a hassle that can be tolerated.”

Even if you look at the entire world where there are hunters, there aren’t that many S-class hunters.

In other words, the moment you become S-class, a lot of attention and attention is focused on you.

A life that is 180 degrees different from your previous life unfolds.

At first glance, this is a story that runs counter to Daesung’s iron rule of living quietly.

but.

“There is no reason to refuse if it comes with such benefits.”

S-class hunters are followed by wealth and honor that cannot be compared to A-class hunters.

Even if you don’t attack the gate, you will be paid a pension every year just by sitting still, and the amount alone is said to exceed the reward for conquering most 3rd or 4th grade gates.

Of course, in order to maintain your rank, you have to achieve a certain level of performance.

“What fool in the world would give up so many benefits just because it’s inconvenient and annoying?”

“It’s been a while since you said something true, our Daesung. “I was worried that you would kick the luck that came rolling in.”

“Let’s think about it after we get back in.”

The conversation went on as if a proposal had already been made.

That was when Daesung opened his mouth to say that he should stop drinking kimchi soup and go eat something.

Tiring-

A message arrived from the KHA application installed on Daesung’s cell phone.

“….”

Daesung raised an eyebrow and checked the contents of the note.

[I have something to tell you about promotion. Hunter Daeseong Han. I would like to meet you in person and tell you the details. Please visit the association at your convenience.]

This is a message sent directly from KHA headquarters.

It says we will talk in detail after we meet, but I knew the main point as soon as I read the first line.

advancement.

For Daesung, who is currently in Class A, there is only one thing called ‘promotion’.

“…Uh huh?”

Seong Chan-ho, who was watching from the side, was more embarrassed than the person who actually received the note.

Then, as if this was not the time, I hurriedly took out my phone and checked the news on the Internet.

< (Breaking News) Han Dae-seong is nominated as the Association's sixth S-class hunter! >

< (Breaking News) The proposal has been sent. Still waiting for Hunter Dae-seong Han's answer. >

< (Breaking News) If you agree, an S-class license will be issued immediately! >

Chan-ho Seong, who saw the article on the main page of various portal sites, craned his neck back and let out a sigh of helplessness.

And he spoke, praising his excellent sense.

“Did you really roll in?”

***

As soon as he confirmed KHA’s note, Daesung went straight to the headquarters.

Sung Chan-ho decided that it was not a place where he could intervene, so he took Daesung to the association and then left.

“It’s a cold weather hunter!”

“I’m a Han Daeseong hunter!”

Choo-choo-choo-

When the main character of today’s breaking news appeared, the reporters who were wrestling with the association staff at the entrance instantly turned and flocked to Daesung.

With camera flashes going off, the reporters pushed their microphones in front of Daesung’s face.

“This is JBC reporter Yoon Ji-hye! “Did you visit the association this time in relation to your S-level promotion?”

“There is a lot of talk about whether to accept it or not! Are you going to give a positive answer?”

“Please tell us about the fracture incident that happened the day before yesterday!”

“You rode a dragon. I wonder if that’s some kind of Auror technique!”

A feast of questions pouring in.

Among them, there were even questions that skewered things that had already passed.

“….”

Daesung frowned in front of the flash barrage that hurt his eyes.

I feel like I want to push it with all my might, but I can’t.

‘Call the annihilating dragon and make the dragon fear… no, no.’

It is not efficient to mobilize the power of the dragon clan just to defeat a few reporters.

Daeseong extended his palm with the seal of implementation forward and issued a command.

OK.

Grumbling-.

“Wow!”

“Aaaah!”

Two fireworks ignited within a short distance of the reporters who had gathered like a swarm of bees.

As the flames died down, the Sentinel and Valark of the Iron Castle revealed their new forms.

“omg…!”

“Moo, back off!”

When two berserkers wearing medieval-style armor suddenly appeared, the reporters were scared and distanced themselves.

As the gap leading to the entrance widened, Daesung walked leisurely and gave orders to the two.

“Watch closely so they don’t become annoying.”

“Please leave it to me, master.”

Ballark bowed his head politely and blocked the reporters’ path as if he could not take another step from here.

The moment I safely entered the lobby of the building,

“Thank you very much for visiting the association despite your busy schedule, Hunter Dae-seong Han.”

As soon as he saw Daesung arrive, Chief of Staff Lee Ha-won, who had been waiting in advance after receiving Park Jeong-ho’s orders, greeted him.

She said with a soft, seductive smile, pointing to an elevator on one side of the lobby.

“The president of the association is waiting. “I will guide you.”

“….”

Daesung silently received guidance from Lee Ha-won and went to the president’s office.

Daesung arrived at the top floor and followed Lee Ha-won to the chairman’s office.

When Lee Ha-won opened the door instead, the scene inside the chairman’s office was revealed, and Park Jeong-ho was seen.

“ah! “Hunter Daeseong Han!”

Park Jeong-ho, who was unable to sit comfortably in the chairman’s chair and was stomping his feet, approached Daesung at a brisk pace.

“I never thought you would come so soon today… I was waiting for you. welcome.”

“…no.”

Daesung shook hands with Park Jeong-ho, hiding his nervousness.

The two sat across from each other across the table, and Park Jeong-ho told Lee Ha-won to bring him a cup of coffee.

Slurp –

Daesung takes a sip of black coffee and thinks it tastes really good.

“The fact that you visited the association in person means that you have already made a decision.”

“yes.”

“How… are you willing to accept it?”

“yes.”

It was an immediate response, without even a single second gap.

No, Park Jeong-ho was surprised because it was a much simpler response than that.

Even though I was given one of the highest positions in the world, I can’t believe I got such a pitiful reaction.

It was the first time since Lee Chang-sik.

‘At least I won’t be swayed by emotions and mess things up.’

When an opportunity comes, I know how to seize it, but I don’t act lightly.

Even though I met him in person, I couldn’t understand his true feelings even more.

That part acted as a favor to Park Jung-ho.

“Thank you for saying that. Then, we will immediately issue an S-class license and go through the registration process. “I sincerely congratulate you on becoming Korea’s sixth S-class member.”

With this, Korea has another talented person.

It will not be long before Korea becomes an advanced hunter-gatherer country.

The rise in national power was a joy to Park Jeong-ho.

-Still, I blocked a Grade 2 Fracture by myself. Instead of just giving me a promotion to S Grade, shouldn’t the association at least treat me to a meal?

At that time, what Jo Han-ul had said suddenly appeared in Park Jeong-ho’s mind.

Of course, offering someone a meal didn’t mean buying something to eat, but

it wasn’t wrong in that it provided additional benefits.

No, rather, it was a ceremonial and essential matter.

In addition to issuing licenses, S-class hunters are provided with the privilege of complying with the parties’ requests as much as possible.

Provision of dedicated equipment, provision of housing, etc. Anything possible.

“Is there anything in particular you would like us to do for you?”

“….”

“Anything is fine. If it weren’t for Hunter Han Dae-seong, I would have suffered great embarrassment. “I would like to compensate you separately somehow.”

“Is everything really okay?”

“Yes, anything I can do for you.”

If you wanted it, it was there.

That’s also a wish that came to mind this morning while thinking of Seong Chan-ho and Gate.

It was clearly a problem outside of his sphere of influence, but it would be different for Park Jung-ho.

No problem. Isn’t it the ‘chief’ of an institution that stands shoulder to shoulder with the government?

“Then I would like to ask you for this…”

The moment Daesung opened his mouth and expressed his wish,

“…yes?”

Park Jeong-ho, who thought that the request would have been to provide equipment or something similar, was at a loss for words.

That’s really it.

Because ‘Han Dae-seong’ was a request that only humans could make.

***

The sky where a reddish sunset is setting.

Daeseong was leisurely returning home, riding on the back of an annihilating dragon and gliding through the sky.

Looking at the red clouds on which the setting sun, colored with the shadow of a black dragon, rested.

‘Did Jisoo enroll in academy?’

Suddenly, I remembered the note I left by my bedside this morning.

Daesung took out his cell phone from his pocket and called Jisoo.

The signal lasted briefly and excited voices were heard.

[uh! Oppa!]

“What are you doing?”

[No, it’s not what I do that’s important! Oppa, I heard you became S-rank? There’s a lot going on on TV right now! Is this real?]

“Uh”

[Wow…. I’m really at a loss for words. I’ll just get my brother’s autograph in advance and then sell it to make some pocket money!]

Daesung chuckled at the remark, not sure if he was joking or serious.

“Did you see the note I left this morning?”

[Oh, that? Oh, sweet carrots! I’m going to go tomorrow and get counseling right away! Thank you, brother!]

I was just wondering what would happen if I procrastinated for no reason because I didn’t want to study, but I got the right answer.

As expected, the joy that my only younger brother’s life was back on track was more vivid than the fact that he had become S-class.

Daesung, feeling proud, nodded and asked.

“Do you want to eat anything?”

***

< Han Dae-seong becomes S-class! >

< The sixth S-class hunter is born in Korea! >

< He was greatly recognized for his contribution in subduing the White Wolf Army two days ago... >

That day.

A new giant star has appeared in Korea.

While everyone was paying attention to where the first debut stage of an S-class hunter named ‘Han Dae-seong’ would be held.

< Level 2 gates occur in Danwon-gu, Ansan-si and Bupyeong, Incheon, South Korea! >

< Unprecedented level 2 gates occur simultaneously. Residents in the area move en masse to government-designated evacuation facilities.... >

The stage was set sooner than expected.

It’s also a very big stage.
