Civil Servant Hunter’s S-class Resignation Log

‘There are many things I’d like to ask, but people are coming, so let’s deal with this first.’

Instead of activating a skill, Seora put her weapon in her inventory. She couldn’t feel the other party’s presence, but the administrator wouldn’t lie about this.

“Well, even if you lie, you’re good at hiding it, aren’t you?”

[Administrator: (;¬_¬)]

Seora spoke bluntly and snorted at the administrator.

“I should have killed this guy. What a shame.”

She retreated backward to avoid the attacking beast.

I never want to forgive anyone who made me stay at work late, but I can’t help it. I’d rather not get off work on time than get caught.

‘Ah, but when are they coming? By then, this guy will suck all my blood!’

I can’t even ask for the blessing ‘Guardian’, which can triple my attack power, because someone is coming.

The problem was that the beast was eating the blood splattered here and there because of intense movement as if they didn’t want to waste even a single drop.

It was a genuinely terrible sight. Ugh, I shouldn’t bleed from now on.

<Blood, give me your blood!>

“Uwaaakh! I’m going to throw up. Seriously, stop—!”

Using the characteristics of a spirit, the beast narrowed the distance in an instant without a sign. The moment Seora, terrified, somehow tried to avoid them while holding her injured arm, she saw…

… a person approaching behind the back of the beast more silently than a spirit.

Short black hair, a neat face with no expression, a black battle suit that covered everything from the neck to the arms and legs, and the movement that was as natural and fluid as flowing water.

Seora’s eyes widened at the familiar sight.

Why is that person here?

<Now you—!>

“I will kill you.”

A heavy yet calm voice took the beast’s words away. And along with it, the white blade cut the spirit’s neck with certainty. A terrible flurry erupted.

<Ah, ah, no, no—!>

In the meantime, the long tongue tried to swallow Seora somehow, but the sword flew in again. The translucent body was scattered helplessly in the air.

It was the death of a spirit.

[The boss of the Level 4 dungeon ‘Ghost Town’ has died!]

[Top Contributor: Jung Hoyoung (S-class)]

It was Jung Hoyoung who had come.

She was a follower of Song Hanna, who was also very famous in Korea. No wonder there was a joke that her naming the guild “Emissary” meant that she followed Song Hanna, the president of the association.

What if someone that loyal witnessed her killing the beast? She would’ve run out without looking back and reported this.

Seora thought she had done a great job following the administrator’s advice.

‘Elizabeth-ssi, I’ll forgive you for hiding something from me this time.’

[Administrator: ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و]

‘Of course, that doesn’t mean that you won’t be interrogated.’

[Administrator : (._, )]

Seora also made eye contact with Jung Hoyoung as the administrator began to sob queitly. As she approached, she examined the wound on her arm with a careful touch.

“It looks serious.”

Well, it was definitely serious. Because she had rolled back and forth to avoid the attack of the beast, the wound on her arm had gotten worse, and her body was very dusty.

“Is that the wound you just received from that beast?”

“Yes, yes.”

“It’s an attack from a spirit, so there’s no poison, but it’s better to treat it quickly.”

Jung Hoyoung took a potion from the inventory and poured it onto her wound.

Oh my god. To use an expensive advanced healing potion like this. I’m enjoying this luxury because I’m the daughter of a cherished friend of Song Hanna.

“Is Emissary Guild in charge of this dungeon?”

Seora asked, deliberately hissing at the pain.

I’m glad I rolled around a lot to avoid that beast. If I had been clean, she would have been suspicious. Jung Hoyoung is the best Assassin in Korea, so she’s very good at examining such traces.

“The president asked for it. And our headquarters is also nearby.”

“Then, did you come to save me from the beginning?”

“The president is very concerned. She was hoping to hold an exorcism for you.”

“…”

Sorrow was etched on Seora’s face. This time, it wasn’t acting. It was the truth.

I don’t understand… How… did I end up like this…?

“The blood has stopped. An ambulance is waiting outside, so let’s get out.”

“Yes, yes. Ah, right. Chief Kim Sanghyun!”

Seora hurriedly looked around for Kim Sanghyun, the person who had been thrown away when the beast attacked her. He was tucked away in the corner of the wall.

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.

However, when Seora leaned forward while checking him for any injuries, Seora had to apologize again. Kim Sanghyun had a double nosebleed as if he had bumped into something.

I’m really sorry. I’ll pretend I didn’t see it.

Without saying a word, she took out her handkerchief and wiped his nose.

***

When Seora went out of the gate, the members of Hunting Guild that seemed to have been rescued by Emissary Guild were scattered everywhere.

Some of them had died as their minds had been completely eroded, but most survived. Everyone wondered how the small guild members had survived the White Ghost’s mental attack.

Surprisingly, the truth was soon revealed.

“My mind went hazy, and I saw a vision as if I was lost in a dream, and at that moment, something pierced my head.”

“Ah, that’s right! It was like that for me too! At the same time, the illusion disappeared, and my body lost strength, so of course I thought I was dead! So how the hell am I alive…?”

“It was a gun. It definitely felt like being shot. I’ve been shot before, so I know exactly how it feels.”

“As soon as something pierced my head, I could feel the energy draining out of my body. I mistook it thinking my soul was leaving my body, so I thought I was dead. But here I am still alive.”

All the survivors said the same thing. Even Kim Sanghyun, the dispatched civil servant, claimed to have had the same experience.

Among people gossiping about what the hell had happened, Seora quietly raised her hand. She spoke very seriously amid the attention of everyone, including Jung Hoyoung.

“So was I,” she said. “I also collapsed right after the chief was attacked, but something flew toward my head. It didn’t hurt, but it was a really shocking feeling. As if getting pierced in the head…”

Seora, rubbing her forehead like a sick person, staggered as if she were dizzy. Jung Hoyoung, who was beside her, hurriedly supported her. Her face, showing gratitude, was so pale that Jung Hoyoung was very worried.

So she had no idea.

That, unlike her stiff body, Seora’s mind was running very fiercely.

‘I’m screwed, I’m screwed! I didn’t expect them to feel it even when they fainted! What should I do?’

Seora gulped.

From now on, I will be consistent in my ignorance.

I just woke up a little earlier than others.

I didn’t see anything.

Seora repeated those words several times in her mind, and she performed harder than ever before.

[Title: Did Headbang go into the rift dungeon that popped up today?]

[The members of Hunting Guild were eroded by the White Ghost and thought they died, but they said they were shot in the head and survived? Isn’t Headbang the only one who does headshots nowadays? If it’s true, then this person is… what? Can you purify something that has been mentally eroded? Doesn’t this kind of skill seems like a cheat?

But why did they save people and disappear without telling anyone again??? Is this the modern version of The Snail Bride?]

[T/N: The Snail Bride is an old tale of Korea. Once upon a time, a farmer picked up a snail and brought it home. After that, whenever he finished his chore and returned home, the house was always clean, and food was always ready. The snail was a lady. When the farmer wasn’t home, she did all the housework. When the farmer discovered it, they married and lived happily ever after.]

[Comment]

The Snail Bride… The Bang Bride…

└The guy above is crazy hahahahha The Bang Bride hahahahahahaha

but it’s really weird Usually, you will want people to find out about your identity after solving this kind of thing. Why didn’t they do it?

└I was saved, then the Level 2 dungeon appeared, and not it’s a Level 4 dungeon, too?

Eh, isn’t it Emissary Guild that handled the rift dungeon? I heard that even the guild leader, who doesn’t move at all unless the tiger orders her to, had a hand on it.

└The leader only dealt with the Boss. Bang-nim seems to have saved Hunting Guild’s members ㅇㅇ

└ Are you serious? I thought Emissary solved it because the tiger clapped for them.

└Emissary personally said it wasn’t their doing.

“… Guild Leader, why did you do that? Why didn’t you just say you solved the matter?”

Seora quietly wept because of the guild leader, who was so sincere while scanning the community.

“Besides, The Snail Bride. Did they know I do that because I want to become like The Snail Bride’s story…”

She also wanted to sit at the table someone else had prepared for her and enjoy the delicious meal, unlike the current condition, where she had to avoid her seat without eating a single spoonful.

Even if she ate only once, she would surely get a mortgage on her life. That was why she had been avoiding it without much thought.

“If it weren’t for Aunt’s overprotectiveness, I would have resigned immediately… As I’ve become an S-class, there is no need to continue working as a civil servant anyway.”

There was a reason why she had wanted to become a civil servant right away at the young age of 20.

But now that her grade had been upgraded, the reason had disappeared.

“Is there a way to quit quietly without being suspected by Aunt or taken to her house?”

For the first time since taking the civil service exam, she tried to work her brain so hard that she might lose her head, but all she could see was a dark future. Sniff.

At that time, when a notification came up from the cell phone next to her that a text had arrived, Seora turned on the screen carefully. And as soon as she read the content, she grimly crumpled her face.

[Are you thinking of hiding your identity?]

It was a text message from the damn returnee who had gone back in time five times.
