Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell Chapter 28

“Here.”

After staying overnight at Seong Chan-ho’s house, Dae-seong visited the Gwanak-gu branch of the Hunters Association the next morning.

The association building was a skyscraper that soared into the sky.

Behind Daesung, who was looking up at the top in a daze, Seong Chan-ho stuck his head out of the car window.

“First, go to the lobby and tell the staff that you have come to get an awakening test. Then that person will guide you.”

“okay.”

“And don’t forget to use polite language, man. “If you speak informally to anyone, you’ll look like a crazy person.”

“I know.”

“It’s a shame to know…”

Seong Chan-ho smiled slightly.

It’s not like it had any other meaning.

I just burst out laughing out of pure joy.

The KHA logo proudly affixed to the top of the association building.

Korea Hunter Association. The literal translation is Korean Hunters Association.

If Samsung is synonymous with Korea’s semiconductor industry, KHA could be said to be synonymous with peace in Korea.

An institution prepared for the proud, brilliant and chosen.

I was happy to see Daesung standing majestically with the organization’s logo on his back.

This guy really can’t wake up from the vegetative state, especially when compared to the anxious days of the past.

“Why are you laughing.”

“Nothing. Anyway, I’m going to go to work now. “When you get the results, text me or contact me later.”

“uh.”

“I wish you good luck.”

Whiing – Tak.

The glass car window closed and Seong Chan-ho’s Audi moved smoothly.

“….”

Daesung quietly looked around the wide site surrounding the association building.

Among the association employees wearing suits, drinking coffee and chatting with colleagues, people in casual clothes were entering the entrance of the building.

The expressions on the faces of those who entered the entrance were one of two.

Nervousness or anticipation.

On the other hand, the expressions on the faces of people in casual clothes leaving the entrance were one of two things, but the meaning was completely different.

Joy or dejection.

‘These are people who visited the association to determine awakening.’

There was no tension or anticipation on Daesung’s face as he walked towards the entrance.

Infinite expressionlessness.

I am aware of that too.

However, I hoped that the feeling when I left the exit after receiving the decision would be closer to joy.

The higher the judgment result, the more money you can earn.

‘Chanho said that even if I can’t do it, I can still get B level and A level with a high probability…’

Of course, you can’t make a hasty conclusion until you see it with your own eyes.

As I passed through the revolving door at the entrance, a wide communal lobby unfolded.

The female employee at the information desk was guiding people who came to get their test results at this very moment.

She sighed and massaged her shoulders, perhaps because the number of applicants had increased significantly today.

“Even though it’s a weekday morning, there’s a lot of traffic. eww.”

By the time the female employee had made up her mind to hold on a little longer until lunch.

Suddenly,

a huge shadow covered her.

The female employee, who was about to yawn, opened her eyes wide.

She swallowed her breath involuntarily.

‘Hi…’

A man so large that he could be counted on one hand among the awakened people who had visited the association so far was standing in front of the desk.

It was Daesung.

A feeling of intimidation that makes you shrug your shoulders without even realizing it.

The only time she saw an awakened person of this size and force with her own eyes was Seo Dong-cheol of the S class.

“hey.”

“Ah yes yes!”

Only then did the female employee come to her senses and react urgently.

“What brought you here?”

“I came to get a judgment.”

The female employee who heard that thought it was unexpected.

It may be a preconceived notion, but I thought the professional hunter, who had already made the judgment and registered, was visiting for other business.

‘Even without looking at this, I think he’s definitely an awakened person…’

Not everyone who has a few muscles in their body becomes a hunter.

But with those fierce eyes and sharp white hair like a wolf’s mane.

There was no way a person like this would not have been destined to become a hunter.

That’s it, do what you have to do. The female employee skillfully tapped the computer keyboard to register Han Dae-seong’s three-character name on the waiting list for the prosecutor’s office.

“You can take the elevator over there, go up to the 6th floor, and then go to room 3.”

“is it so.”

Daesung left a vague answer and coolly walked to the elevator.

The female employee licked her lips as she stared at his back.

‘At that level, I can make a living as a health trainer even if the judgment doesn’t go out.’

There was a time when she had the fantasy that awakened people or hunters were always muscular men with good bodies.

And while working as an information staff member at the association, that illusion was completely shattered.

But for the first time in a long time, I saw a man who made the fantasy in my heart bloom again.

‘You’re thinking about something trivial while working.’

It wasn’t a bad feeling, though.

***

In front of room 3 of the examination room on the 6th floor, about 20 people were sitting on chairs waiting for their turn.

There was a rectangular room across from the waiting area, and you had to go in there and be judged.

‘…I feel intimidated for no reason.’

‘Is it because you exercise or is it because you awakened?’

‘I also gained some muscle, so this is my awakening, right?’

Currently, a strange current was flowing among those waiting.

There was a man sitting in the waiting area who looked like he had already been on active duty for several years just by his visuals.

They also came with an unknown sense of pride that they would become awakened people today.

The moment I saw Daesung.

The assertion, ‘I am unconditionally an awakened person,’ changed into an interrogative form with a lower level of self-esteem, such as, ‘I guess I am awakened, right?’

A person’s awakening is mainly predicted by physical changes.

For example, these days, even if you stay still, you are losing weight or your hair is growing longer.

Then, wondering if this might be a sign of some kind of awakening, they go to the association and get a diagnosis.

Of course, the phenomenon of a person suddenly losing weight or growing a lot of hair is a common occurrence in everyday life, even if it is not an awakening.

One ‘Maybe me too?’ The same thought is what instills anticipation in them.

Most of those currently sitting in the waiting area fall into that category.

However, the moment they saw Daesung, they began to rapidly become anxious.

‘…Do you have to gain that much muscle to become an awakened person?’

‘Damn, I’ve been feeling a little watery lately, so I thought I might have woken up… but looking at that person, I guess that’s not the case.’

In reality, Daesung just sat quietly, but they were automatically overcome with an inferiority complex.

Daesung’s turn is ninth.

Meanwhile, he was killing time by fiddling with his cell phone.

Tiring –

At that time, a text message came from Hyejeong.

[Are you still at Chanho’s house? When are you coming home? Mom, my back hurts today, so I’m taking a day off from the store.]

“….”

Daesung has not yet told his family that he visited the association.

This was a matter that was decided suddenly yesterday, and since we don’t yet know what the outcome of the decision will be, we decided there was no need to talk about it early.

Moreover, if I said I would do the dangerous job of being a hunter, Hye-jeong might have tried to dissuade me.

Daesung, who didn’t want to cause people to worry, lied about it.

Crack tap-

[Still at Chanho’s house. I’m going to wash up and go home slowly.]

When I sent the message like that, a reply came back quickly.

[I see. did you eat? If you haven’t eaten, just come home. Jisoo just went out to buy hangover soup to have lunch with us.]

“I think we should go quickly.”

Before I knew it, I had already missed the eighth turn, right in front of Daesung.

The problem is in the eighth one –

“No, fuck you!” Why am I a taste bud! “I’ve definitely awakened!”

Something happened.

The attention of those waiting was focused on the commotion that erupted inside the examination room.

As several association officials rushed to the examination room, the automatic door opened and a view of the interior was revealed.

A man with a bald head was screaming loudly and causing trouble, and the officer in charge was in trouble.

“I’m sorry, but since the meter came back negative-” “

So, how many times have I told you that the meter is junk! “Isn’t that how the association handles everything these days?”

It was a very easy situation to understand.

The type of person who cannot accept the results in front of them and attempts to escape reality.

Two or three cases of this type occur one after another every six months, but unfortunately, the response from the officers in charge was not very good.

“With an accuracy of 99% that has never broken down since 2 years ago-”

“99% means 1% may have broken down! “Stop talking bullshit and quickly bring me another measuring instrument!”

It is useless to talk about accuracy to people who have already decided not to listen.

Usually, in cases like this, the best response is to just tell them to quietly go back.

“Ah, my ears hurt….”

“Just comply and go home. “What’s wrong with the people waiting behind you?”

The waiters who were watching the situation also expressed their dissatisfaction one by one in low voices.

I didn’t want to get caught up in something troublesome, so I stopped at just muttering.

“It’s true that I have awakened! “Otherwise, how could someone like this go bald overnight?”

“But, it would be difficult for you to criticize me when the test results came out like this!”

Light shone from the bald head of the man smoking Jinsang.

Daesung scratched his cheek while silently observing the light.

‘Why, it’s my turn…’

I wanted to live quietly, so I didn’t want to make a fuss.

Association officials also came rushing in, so I know that if I wait, the situation will resolve itself.

but.

‘My family is waiting.’

The more he smokes, the later it gets to be back home.

Thinking about Hye-jeong and Ji-soo waiting quietly after buying hangover soup, I became anxious for no reason.

I had no intention of using harsh measures.

On the contrary, it is surprising because such an occurrence is something you would never see in hell.

So I decided to just quietly say a few words.

“If you keep pulling me out, I will personally file a complaint with the branch manager here-”

“Hey.”

A voice that hits the air heavily.

The pitch of the sound was low and soft, but it penetrated the bald man’s ears very clearly.

The person sitting next to me shook his shoulders when he realized that it was the voice that came from Daesung’s mouth.

Daesung quietly got up from the waiting table and continued what he was saying.

“There’s someone waiting behind you, right?”

“what? “What kind of ugly bastard is-”

The bald man, who had already seen nothing, turned his gaze.

And the moment when Hou Dae realized that the giant-like white-haired man was the one who spoke.

“Uh…”

The pupil, who had been unable to see anything, briefly felt an earthquake.

It was also the moment when the anger that had been running wild like a truck speeding without brakes was cured in one go.

Daesung

was speechless for a moment and took a step toward the frozen bald man.

“Uh uh…”

Cold sweat ran down the bald man’s shiny crown.

Still, the bald man seemed to have some pride as he added, awkwardly pointing at the measuring instrument in a hushed voice.

“Oh no. this…. “The measuring instrument is broken….”

“The measuring instrument is broken?”

The person who suddenly came between the two was an association employee who came to provide support.

The successor next to me asked the association employee.

“So, isn’t your senior also an awakened person?”

“I’ll check.”

The association employee, who understood what his successor meant, picked up the measuring instrument in his hand.

Although he is not a hunter, he is still an awakened person, so he should be able to tell if the measuring device is broken.

When an association employee placed his palm on the measuring instrument’s crystal ball, a soft green light flowed out.

The crystal ball of the measuring instrument responds to the degree to which the object is sensitive to ether.

To define it more broadly, it means changing the properties of ‘otherworldly’ energy, including ether.

The surface of the crystal ball is basically cloudy white, but the color changes as the target’s sensitivity level increases.

Naturally, those who have awakened taste have a sensitivity level of 0, so the color of the crystal ball does not change.

And the color of the crystal ball that responded to the association staff was green. Meaning C grade.

The point is.

“What, you’re fine.”

“….”

The association employee held out the measuring instrument to the bald man as if to look at it.

“As you can see, it’s fine.”

“Well…”

“If you still have any regrets, place your hand on the crystal ball again. Otherwise.”

The employee’s eyes shone sharply.

“The next people are waiting, so just comply and return quietly.”

“….”

The bald man couldn’t find any more words to refute.

No, you can use as much force as you want.

However, the employee of this association with glaring eyes in front of him is also an employee…

Sigh – When he turned his head to the side, he said,

“Ugh…”

A white-haired man with a ghost-like appearance was quietly glaring at him.

I really mean it.

I felt like if I made more of a fuss here, I would end up in a bad situation with this man.

“Ugh…”

The bald man, whose posture changed in an instant, muttered timidly and left the examination room, almost as if running away.

There was a minor commotion, but Daesung’s turn arrived safely.

The association employee bowed his head to Daesung on behalf of the bald man.

“I apologize for the unpleasant incident that occurred. “You may come in.”

“yes.”

Daesung answered briefly and entered the examination room.

The association staff lowered their heads and glanced at Daesung’s body as he passed by.

‘…I’m a little curious. Should I just look at the results?’

Even he, who has seen many awakened people, is impressed by his appearance.

I also began to understand why the bald man was scared like a child as soon as he saw him.

What grade will this man get? I felt that kind of pure curiosity, but I said,

“Wow, senior. Can’t we just check that person’s results and then go?”

“Well no.”

Wouldn’t it be strange to see employees standing quietly in front of the testing room waiting for the results?

The association employee, swallowing his curiosity, resolutely left the position, and his successor followed with a sullen expression.

‘Well, it could just be someone with an awakened sense of taste who worked hard to bulk up.’

Now that I think about it, it’s not something I’m particularly curious about.

The association staff thought so and returned to the front line.

He didn’t know until then.

In just two minutes, an unprecedentedly big event would take place during the white-haired man’s turn.
