Civil Servant Hunter’s S-class Resignation Log

Until this day, Christopher hadn’t noticed that he had missed the L-class Awakened under his nose.

“I have been encamped at the association for several days but have not gained anything,” Christopher sighed and scratched his forehead.

He’d been camping here despite Song Hanna’s harassment, thinking that the other L-class would appear at least once in the association. How could there be no result like this?

All he got was information that the association officials were unusually tired. For example, the tall person who just walked in.

Christopher shook his head, unaware that the person whose eyes were bloodshot was the L-class he was desperately looking for.

“Have you heard from other guild members?”

“Surprisingly, no. It’s weird. Since they have unique eye color, they’re bound to be eye-catching. Not everyone walks looking at the ground.”

“That’s right. Our eyes are bound to meet at least once while coming and going.”

Christopher and his guild members tilted their heads.

They had been working hard on this mission to investigate Korea, but they didn’t know everything about Korean culture.

So they didn’t know that people living in Korea, especially in Seoul, didn’t even look at each other for fear of making eye contact with people approaching them.

As long as they didn’t know this, finding the L-class with unique eye color was as difficult as finding pearls on the sandy beach.

“But just in case, I’ll have to trouble you guys. Let’s look around somewhere else today, too.”

“Yes.”

The Guardian Guild’s members quickly spread here and there.

Christopher, who looked up at the association for a moment, shook his head and soon disappeared into the crowd. My stomach hurt so badly because I drank too much last night.

***

Finding a new way to avoid Christopher’s eyes had made it easier for Seora to get to work than ever before.

Of course when Sung Jarim ruined her lens, she proudly used Operation Happy. While Jarim jumped into the pool and played, Seora lay on the sunbed and gulped down orange juice.

Because she had a good and enjoyable day today, as she lay on her bed to sleep, her face was as smooth as a freshly boiled egg.

One thing that can make an office worker happiest in a situation where she can’t even leave the company is shirking off duty— cough, I mean vacation.

“I have nothing else to ask for if tomorrow were like today.”

After putting her hands together and praying, Seora soon fell asleep snoring.

But today wasn’t over yet.

Late at night, a deafening message suddenly appeared, and Seora opened her eyes. An ominous message hurriedly flashed in front of her as if signaling urgency.

[The system administrator alerts the sole contractor!]

[The system administrator announces gate creation!]

[Gate creation location: S Hotel rooftop]

[Remaining time: 10 minutes, 9 minutes 59 seconds, 9 minutes 58 seconds…]

She was half-asleep and thought she was dreaming. What do you mean by S Hotel? Isn’t that where I’m staying?

“Elizabeth, are my eyes seeing things?”

[Administrator: x(╥﹏╥)x]

Crying, Seora, who spat out swear words, kicked the blanket and ran out of the bedroom.

What the hell!?I’m lucky? There’s no such thing as bad luck, you said!? She wanted to run to Mount Taebek right away and shook Baek Heewon.

What do you mean I’m lucky? I think I’m the king of bad luck!

“What is happening at this hour? Lizaliza, this hasn’t happened before.”

It was now known that administrators did not predict or control all gate creation, but she’d never seen them tell her the time limit like now.

[The system administrator says it is thanks to the feature addition. However, there is a limit, so it only applies to dungeons that occur near the contractor, and the warning only exists for 10 minutes.]

“Ten minutes. That’s good enough.”

I don’t have time to ask for more details.

As she entered the bedroom where Jarim was sleeping, Jarim opened her eyes and immediately took out her weapon. Two huge blades flashed in the dark room.

“It’s me. Calm down.”

She raised her hands to stand in front of Jarim. She was already accustomed to being with her and threatened by her several times. It’s a habit she developed while rolling around on that planet. What a pitiful person!

“… Seora?”

“Get up. A gate will appear soon.”

Jarim, who had lowered her weapon, opened her eyes wide.

“It’s the rooftop of this hotel. There’s no time. Let’s move quickly.”

“The rooftop? I can’t feel anything. Did the administrator tell you?”

“Mm. I don’t know what kind it is, but there’ll be problems if it’s a rift dungeon or Dungeon Break. Why did a gate appear in a hotel anyway?”

The two ran to the roof without delay, but the time to use the magic meter had already passed.

“Oh, this is making me crazy!”

[Gate is created. Please be prepared for danger.]

[Gate creation is complete.]

[Warning! A Dungeon Break occurs!]

The door, which was connected to the other world, was emitting a clear green color.

“Lizaliza-nim said they couldn’t control the breakout.”

[Administrator: o(T—T)o]

“Sung Jarim, can you stop it alone?”

“It will take too long. Not to mention we’re on the rooftop. It will be hard to catch the monsters if they simultaneously jump out of the building.”

“Then I’ll have to buy some time.”

Seora took out a sniper rifle from her inventory and activated her skill.

“Field Deployment.”

Red eyes identified the area, and the coordinates pointed to the gate.

[Activate the skill ‘Field Control’!]

[Zone setting complete. Temporarily takes control of the specified field!]

A red cube was tightly wrapped around the gate.

The monster leaving the gate cried for a long time as it felt something unusual. Despite the bizarre cry that made her spine freeze, Seora did not waver and aimed her gun at it.

[“Hit” responds to the skill “Field Control”. Destructive power increased. Accuracy increased.]

[Weapon ‘Hit’ bullets are converted appropriately!]

“What are you going to do!? No matter how hard you try, you can’t completely block the gate!”

“I’m not trying to control it. I’ll die if I do that. But I can buy some time.”

Her skill was ‘Field Control’. She’d always thought that names were very important in this world.

What is a ‘Field’? In dictionary terms, it is expressed as a stadium such as a track, but sometimes it also means a battlefield.

A battlefield.

Then wouldn’t it be possible to keep the enemy from escaping to protect my colleague?

‘I can do it. The skills will come true by my will. I can definitely do it.’

Huu. After taking a deep breath, Seora pulled the trigger. At the same time as the shot bullet penetrated the cube, a huge flame erupted.

A flame with no place to go blazed like a storm and completely engulfed the gate to prevent any monster from coming out. If they took even just one step, their body would burn.

The monster screamed and tried to enter the gate through th skill, but the skill was responsive to her will.

“… Spatial abilities are different as expected.”

Even Jarim, who’d endured a hundred years on a planet that had undergone a dimensional shift, could not help but marvel at the sight Seora had created.

But the cost was also high.

“Ugh!”

Seora’s face turned pale after her mana was exhausted. No matter how much protection she received from the administrator, it was unreasonable to control one gate. She drank mana recovery potions, but her mana consumption was faster.

“You need to wait here. When I run out of mana, the monsters will run out. I’ll ask for your support at that time, so hang in there until then.

“What about you?”

“We need to contact the association and get the citizens out.”

“Hah!? With that body!?”

“I have to. Because I am a civil servant of the association that protects citizens.”

Seora smiled at Jarim.

“I can do it. Can you do it too?”

Jarim’s eyes shook as Seora smiled with a bloodless face. But she couldn’t change roles. If Seora’s power ran out, the monsters would run out and tear her apart first.

… She knew it well but couldn’t help but feel frustrated and angry.

“Don’t get hurt. Don’t overdo it. I’ll stop them somehow, so take care of yourself.”

“Thank you.”

Seora went straight out of the rooftop and dialed a familiar number.

“President, a Dungeon Break occurred on the roof of Hotel S. Sung Jarim is currently blocking the gate, and I will focus on the citizen’s escape from now on.”

— Director Do is nearby. I will contact him right away.

As expected, Song Hanna immediately found what she needed without nonsense. Seora was grateful for her calmness.

“Please do it quickly. It’ll be hard for Sung Jarim to deal with it alone.”

— Be careful, Seora. Ugh. Are you sure you don’t need an exorcism? You should move into my house to live for a while.

“…”

This was probably the most burdensome proposal. Pretending she didn’t hear her, Seora exclaimed loudly.

“I have to evacuate the citizens now, so I’m hanging up! Please send the evacuees quickly!”

Seora hung up the phone abruptly, and her body trembled. Now that she had the administrator, she couldn’t b dragged into Song Hanna’s house.
