Han Ye-rim said with her arms crossed.

“If this is enough, the association will not accept it on purpose.”

“An association?”

“I’ll have to figure out why, but… It hurts a little.”

All the work that Han Ye-rim is currently doing was not moving forward. Because there is no guild.

I would do anything in the name of the company after establishing a corporation, but this made it impossible to properly engage in activities, let alone hire employees.

Han Ye-rim got up and put on her coat.

“Where?”

“Get advice and apply for review again. Nothing gets better when you sit down. You have to move.”

And then he smiles faintly.

“It’s fun. I thought the Korean industry would be cool, unlike the US, but I guess that’s not the case.”

Han Ye-rim contacted somewhere and left. After staring at his back for a moment, I pulled out my phone and looked through my contacts.

“hello?”

-Uh, Hyunwoo! long time no see.

A pleasant male voice.

Park Gun-wook. At the hearing, lawyer Shin Se-jin.

– What’s going on? My voice is not serious.

“Nothing else.”

I flipped through the envelopes.

Above the densely written letters, ‘No’ was clearly engraved.

“I want to ask for legal advice.”

*

The lawyer who looked at all the documents sighed deeply.

“I got bitten. this.”

What does bitten mean?

“The establishment and management of guilds is the responsibility of the association.”

If it’s natural, it’s natural. That’s what the Hunter Association says.

“This is true, most organizations with the two letters ‘association’ on the back are authoritative. I’m always Gap and I’m in the position of the commander, so I don’t allow Eul’s rebellion.”

“… … Rebellion.”

The more the lawyer’s words continue, the more his lips dry out. What he was trying to say, slowly became clear. The memories of four months suddenly flash back.

The president of the association offered to negotiate.

I hope I will find my place soon. Let’s put the mistakes on Lee Ji-ah’s back and end it here.

I chose to go to the end and I won.

The sins that could not be suppressed regurgitated and strangled the head of the association.

In the eyes of the association, what kind of existence will Lee Ji-ah look like?

Victim of being oppressed and framed by the president of the association? The challenger who destroyed the authority of the association?

The former and the latter.

It was very clear which way their eyes were going.

“I checked all the documents Hyunwoo sent before coming to the office. I asked the other team once.”

“What is the answer?”

“There is no problem by convention, but there is a problem with the rules.”

“yes?”

what kind of pun is that? The lawyer scratches his neck as if he has no face.

“ha… … It’s really f*cking shit. Guild management is the right and responsibility of the association.”

“You just told me.”

“I think this is very important for what I am going to talk about. It is the association’s responsibility to create a guild, and it follows internal regulations.”

The lawyer pointed to a sentence with a ballpoint pen.

[Guild members only do so when they don’t cause a stir in society… … ]

“When you see the ‘social scandal’ written here, what comes to mind?”

“Have you committed a crime enough to appear on the news?”

“It looks like this to me.”

The lawyer muttered in a low voice.

“It doesn’t matter if we like it. However, if it bothers you like a thorn in the eye, I will reveal all the theft history, urination history, and even the posts I wrote on social media when I was in the second year of middle school, and I will take it as a problem and make it goofy.”

Hearing that, I see it again.

“The association’s guild-related matters are not laws, but internal regulations. Isn’t it the law to elect a national team and establish a professional team? If it’s a law, you have to follow the custom, but if it’s a regulation, you can wear earrings.”

“If you put it on your nose, it’s a nose ring.”

The lawyer nodded heavily and grabbed my arm roughly.

“So, you bit your ankle by these bastards.”

“If you file a lawsuit for equity… … .”

“If your legal team tries to drag you along, it takes several years to create a guild. I really don’t mean to make them impossible either. Blocking the source is impossible.”

In the end, Han Yoo-jung, who will grow and gain momentum, will be a second-hand rookie, and Lee Ji-ah’s return will continue to be delayed.

understood.

What is the purpose of the association.

It is said to be the best in Korea, but one hunter fired the president of the association. With a 26-year-old kid who worked part-time at a cafe. He must have suffered a lot of damage to his pride, and he must have been so unfair that he could not even sleep to move on.

So, to put it simply… .

“… … It’s just, your purpose is to f*ck us?”

The lawyer licked his lips. He was looking for something to replace, and eventually gave up and answered.

“Yes, that’s right.”

*

He leaned against the roof railing and sighed. The lawyer pulls out a pack of cigarettes and asks.

“Would you like to smoke one?”

“Because I don’t smoke.”

The lawyer chuckled and put his arm on the railing. He put a cigarette in his mouth. The light of the lighter that was spinning around came on. A musty and bitter smell spread.

he said abruptly.

“Looking at Hyunwoo, I think it’s great.”

“What?”

“When I think of what I did when I was Hyun-woo’s age, I can only remember studying to prepare for the bar exam. At 26, other people say they are preparing for a job, so they go to TOEIC academy, get a driver’s license, and prepare for NCS.”

“I was also working part-time at a cafe a while ago, well.”

“Right now, I am debating whether or not to work with the association. A child who has just started working in society at twenty-six… Oops, sorry. Anyway, that’s great.”

Why are you suddenly lacquering your face?

I was so embarrassed that I just scratched the bridge of my nose.

“If you ask people who is the better lawyer or manager, they will say 100 lawyers.”

“That’s really the background and talking about being a manager with nothing and nothing.”

The lawyer smiled and placed his hand on my shoulder.

“Hyunwoo’s situation is a little different. An S-class hunter, even that, Lee Ji-ah is behind him.”

After saying that, the lawyer smoked a cigarette in a row.

“… … Hyunwoo, please listen to this as personal advice, not a lawyer or a client. It’s okay to listen with one ear and out the other.”

“You tell me.”

“Since I’m dealing with the Hunter Law, I have quite a few ears in the industry, but this is a real jungle. do you know that When a big dungeon explodes, the lawyers prepare the documents in advance.”

“What are you ready for?”

“What are we going to do? Of course it’s a legal dispute. From contracts to settlement issues to legal disputes between guilds, accidents are flooding in.”

It sounded like rumors.

Guild and Hunter, Hunter and Manager, Hunter and Hunter, etc.

If the relationship is good, there aren’t many.

“If it comes down to a legal dispute, it really has reached the end of the day. Do you know what you realize when you experience such extreme events?”

“What?”

The lawyer vomits smoke.

“There are no permanent enemies and no permanent allies on this floor.”

There are no permanent enemies or allies.

He looked at the gray city like a drooping corpse and turned away.

The lawyer was looking at me with a smile on his face.

“People who said you did something wrong to each other in the courtroom until now, I was innocent, are doing business together, and people who couldn’t live without them until yesterday come to me today and ask what kind of crime I can f*ck with.”

he asks, rubbing his chin.

“You know what the most important thing in the jungle is?”

The mouth was stuffy. I think I know now what advice I want to give.

“It will survive. Even if you starve yourself, even if you give up your pride and beg, even if you go through a corpse and live your life, it is important to survive. In the end, it wins.”

“So, Gunwook-san means… .”

“Close your eyes just once. I will bow my head dozens of times until I settle down, so how difficult is it to bow down to the association a few more times?”

“Keeping your head down doesn’t mean just bowing your head.”

“Yes. Because the association wants them to correct their mistakes.”

Go Go-han, the president of the association, was dragged to the hearing and beaten in front of the entire nation.

The association was dishonored because of Lee Ji-ah and me.

It was obvious what was going to come out of it.

correct the mistake Blame Lee Ji-ah for the failure of the Abyss attack. Then I will pass the guild application.

The lawyer scratched his head and said.

“So I am speaking personally. Because it means overturning a quest that has already been resolved.”

“… … You can bow your head dozens of times. If not dozens of times, hundreds of times.”

It’s the waist that was bent over even with a 2,500 won Americano.

It’s not that expensive to hang over your neck.

If I could just keep my head down and get the results I wanted, I would.

Still, there was one reason why he stood stiffly and fought.

“But if I give up fighting, my people will suffer instead of making me comfortable.”

If it hadn’t been for a fight with the president of the association, Lee Ji-ah would have lived with the falsehood that she was diving like a tag.

If I had pretended not to know that the distorted article was going up, Han Yoo-jung would have been creaking from the beginning.

These are results that cannot be obtained by turning the boat over and asking for it. There is a marginal line that no one can concede. Only those who ultimately choose to fight can cross that line.

“I just want to go to the end once. What more do you have to lose here?”

The lawyer is fed up.

“I’m envious. A man is like an awl in his pocket. It popped out.”

“What are you proud of? When I think about what to do from now on, my heart aches and my eyes go dark.”

“Just.”

he speaks as if to himself.

“I’m getting older, so it’s hard to fight like that. The passion is fading away.”

“Are you a lawyer? Fighting is work.”

“Defending someone is not fighting for my life. Manipulating commands in a safe place. If you have hundreds of lives, why can’t you be bold?”

That’s it again.

“Heed my advice. Sometimes keeping your head down is a good solution. Sometimes it’s better to just close your eyes and move on.”

The lawyer spit a cigarette in his mouth and spit it out.

“Because there will come a day when I think like that.”

“I do not know.”

“Why don’t you think Hyun-woo would?”

The lawyer laughs out loud. It is the same gaze when an adult sees a child’s chigi.

Why, when they hear the words of their young children that they will not marry when they grow up, parents usually build them.

That’s the ugly face.

It’s like writing on the cheek, ‘Where do you get older, it goes as you say’.

I squeezed a laugh out loud like a dried squid.

“I don’t know what’s next. I am not a believer, nor a prophet, nor a returnee in the novel.”

I do not know. Will I become a manager who is tired of inertia in 10 years? You might become a human who takes a step back, saying that fighting is annoying.

not sure about anything

It’s the future because it hasn’t come yet.

There is nothing more vain than promising the future.

However, even in the unknown future, there is only one thing I can be sure of,

“still… It doesn’t look like it will change today. never.”

only me now

“Innocent bastards.”

The general manager muttered as he sat on a bench in the association’s vacant lot. the conductor asked.

“Why?”

“Do you know Lee Ji-ah?”

“Is there anyone in Korea who doesn’t know Lee Ji-ah?”

“right. No one knows.”

In Korea, the phrase “the most promising prospect of all time” is no longer used.

After Lee Ji-ah, there was an unbreakable record.

The best modifier to praise the current prospects was ‘the second Lee Ji-ah’.

good and bad. Either way it doesn’t matter. Living in Korea and not knowing Lee Ji-ah’s name didn’t make sense.

Although Lee Ji-ah is famous as such an S-class hunter, the meaning of the association was slightly different.

“You should be sorry if you fed the association like that. How many months have you been crawling and pushing in the application?”

The conductor’s eyes widened.

“uh? I would have dismissed it. Did it go right up?”

“no. I checked this last time. What I am talking about today.”

The conductor made a tired face.

“Have you already brought it for the second time this week alone? papers?”

“If you do this, you should have noticed by now.”

It’s the first three or four times. Even if it’s their own mistake, the fifth time will show their intentions.

“Come anywhere a hundred times a thousand times, yes. I’ll stamp it and send it back right away. A person must have a sense of humor.”

Thirling!

The bell rang. The general manager frowned and answered the phone.

“hello?”

– Chief! What kind of man is the general manager looking for?”

“Are you looking for me? who?”

– Kim Hyun-woo. I know you know each other.

“Kim Hyun-woo?”

The general manager took his mouth off the speaker and looked at the conductor.

“Director Park, do you know who Hyun-Woo Kim is?”

“Kim Hyun-woo, Kim Hyun-woo… ..”

The conductor tilts his head.

“Are you hearing this for the first time?”

The general manager put the phone back to his ear.

“Is this your first time hearing about it? What the hell is Kim Hyun-woo doing?

– It’s strange, I thought we knew each other. I used to say that I was Lee Ji-ah’s manager. I also got contact information. Waiting for a call… … .

under! The corner of the headmaster’s lips twitched.

“In a beggar-like way… … I don’t know such a f*cking manager, so if you come back, tell me that there isn’t.”

-Can I send you a text message?

“Okay, ma’am. what’s pretty? Just delete your contacts!”

The manager hung up the phone. the conductor asked.

“What’s wrong with manager Lee Ji-ah?”

“What happened?”

The general manager exhales cigarette smoke and laughs.

“Since I keep getting rejected for review, I think I’m going to send a manager to make an assessment. S-class hunters have a very heavy buttocks? I’m not even sure if I should come and ask for it in person.”

Beep! Less squeaky!

Someone took out a can of drink from the vending machine and said as if tossing it.

“Hey, don’t do that, just take a look.”

“yes?”

The general manager turned his head. A handsome man with his arms crossed.

“The world has become very difficult to live in. Where are you going to live?”

The conductor waved his hand.

“Well, I don’t know who you are, but if you have a drink, you go on your way. Gagao was resting while smoking. Don’t get caught up in it.”

I knew he was playing Go in some park, the conductor muttered a little. A man came up to me with a cola in his hand and asked.

“It’s nothing else, but this person has something to do. Park Jung-cheol, head of the Hunter Association, Seoul, right?”

“Okay, who?”

“hello. I… … .”

The man bowed his back.

“The f*cking manager, Kim Hyunwoon, who just spoke up.”

The smile was lifted and the ferocious eyes were revealed.

Kim Hyun-woo said while licking dry lips.

“Wait, I want to talk to you about the guild.”
