Chapter 2 – Crazy Advertisement (1)
“Ugh! be careful!”
Hearing an urgent cry from somewhere, Seo-joon hurriedly turned his head. And Seo-joon could see that something huge was falling toward him.
“Ugh..!”
Seo-Jun was startled and moved his body, but the monster corpse hanging on his back entangled Seo-Jun’s body.
Kwa Dang Tang!
In the end, Seo-joon was not able to avoid it and was crushed.
“Keuk…!”
Seo-joon couldn’t breathe as if the pressure was pressing on his body.
“hey! Are you okay inside?”
“here! There’s someone down here!”
Aware of the accident, the people around them hurriedly ran. Then he asked if everyone was okay and how Seo-joon lay.
However, Seo-joon wanted to get rid of this as soon as possible while he was talking about it.
“Don’t stand still, everyone get out of the way! I have to lift the corpse!”
coogu palace.
Fortunately, thanks to someone’s quick action, Seo-joon was able to be freed from the pressure.
“Haha…! Aww…!”
But when the pressure that weighed down my body was gone, a terrible pain came over me this time.
Seo-joon moved his legs slowly in the pain, and fortunately, he felt the sensation of moving them little by little.
“what! what’s the matter!”
A nervous voice came from somewhere.
Taesoo Kim, the head of the work team. An eccentric man in his late 40s with half his hair bald.
He couldn’t move his body properly due to the terrible pain, but Seo-jun knew who he was just by hearing his voice.
“What are you doing right now?”
Kim Tae-soo came towards us with great strides. Then, looking at Seo-jun, who was suffering from a collapse, and the people around him, he asked.
“Why is he out there?”
“Captain, that’s…”
The explanation of the people who followed was like this.
Since it was impossible to move large monsters by human power, heavy equipment was used.
However, the heavy equipment malfunctioned and missed the body, and that was why it fell to the place where Seo-jun was.
In a word, it was an accident.
Then Kim Tae-soo let out a sigh with a disapproving expression.
“Mr. Ha…”
Then, after examining the corpse in the heavy equipment, he continued.
“Is there anything wrong with the corpse?”
“Fortunately, there are no problems. But it looks like this friend is seriously injured…”
At that moment, Kim Tae-soo frowned and shouted.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Who is hurt?”
“yes? That’s right, this friend here…”
“Uh huh! What does this person say?”
Kim Tae-soo twitched his eyebrows once and said.
“I’m not hurt, I must have fallen alone.”
“yes…?”
Leaving the dumbfounded faces behind, Kim Tae-su calmly continued.
“Do you know what kind of monster that is? It’s like a 5-star monster! 5 star! Tens of thousands of dollars for that body. If you carry it, the fee that drops is that much higher.”
“But…”
“But, but, do you know that there are one or two companies rushing to transport one of these things? Winning deals is also war. War. I won this because my nephew is a C-class professional hunter and a member of the raid team here. you all know The Golden Flash Lee Jung-min.”
“Ah… yes what.”
“By the way, I heard that there was an accident at our company. What will happen to me and my nephew?”
Kim Tae-soo coughed and looked away.
“Kuhm anyway, everyone knows what I’m talking about, right?”
It was said around and around, but in the end, it was a word to cover up this accident.
“But a person was injured…”
“Uh, this person is still! If we can’t get the deal, you guys have no business! Do I really have to say this?”
“…”
“…”
Then people didn’t come out anymore and kept their mouths shut.
Most of the people who transported the monster corpses here were people who made a living on a daily basis.
Without work, I had to worry about my day-to-day life right away.
Kim Tae-soo nodded in satisfaction at the faces of those people and shouted.
“now! Just move a few people over and let everyone do what they were doing.”
Inside a container box made on site.
Seo-joon lay on the bed inside the container box and moved his body slightly.
Every time I moved, there was a tingling pain, but it was clearly better than before.
“Fortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any major problems.”
It seemed like there was no need to go to the hospital.
If you’re going to get better after a little rest, there’s no need to go and spend money.
It was just then that Seo-joon breathed a sigh of relief.
Click.
“Seo Jun-ah, are you inside?”
The door of the container box opened and a warm-looking man came inside.
A man in his mid-to-late 40s with a thick, bushy beard.
A man named Seok Man-cheol, nicknamed Hairy Boy.
He was someone Seo-jun became close with while transporting monster corpses.
“Mr. Mancheol? What are you doing here?”
In fact, he wasn’t close to him, but he was someone Seo-joon thought of as family.
“What the fuck is it? I came because I was worried. bastard.”
Mancheol grumbled once and sat down on the bed where Seojun was lying.
Then he glanced at Seo-joon and opened his mouth again.
“What did the class president say?”
“What…”
Instead of answering, Seo-joon handed over a small envelope in his arms.
Mancheol accepted the envelope without saying anything and sneakily checked inside.
“Two million won? Sea Pearl. You won’t even pay for a drink.”
“What kind of alcohol are you drinking so that 2 million won is not even the price of a drink?”
“Yes, boy. It’s a world only for grown-ups that you don’t know much about.”
Mancheol folded the envelope he received and returned it to Seojun.
“Why don’t you accuse me? You almost died this time. I’m sorry, it’s not enough even if I apologize, but it’s only 2 million won for treatment…” ”
No. mister.”
Seo-joon cut off Man-cheol and opened his mouth.
“You don’t have to make it big just because of me. I’m not seriously injured. And you know. I… I have nowhere else to work unless I’m here.”
“…Seapearl. why don’t you have a job Jobs are everywhere in the world.”
“haha.”
Seo-joon smiled lightly, but Man-cheol knew the meaning of that laugh.
Because Mancheol knew about Seojun’s difficult circumstances.
Carrying monster corpses was a part-time job that was quite tiring, but the pay wasn’t bad.
Of course, it was not good compared to professional jobs, but there was no job like this for people who couldn’t learn and didn’t know how to do anything.
More than anyone else, Seo-jun himself would not want to go overboard like this.
However, Seo-joon was unable to say anything at Kim Tae-soo’s threat to move on quietly. no it shouldn’t have been
Man-cheol didn’t know that, so he didn’t bring up the story any more.
“Anyway, Kim Tae-soo, you bastard. The day will come when the map will be treated equally.”
Mancheol pulled out a cigarette from his chest and asked. Then, after looking at Seo-jun for a while, he took out another cigarette and handed it to Seo-jun.
“Pilttm?”
“no. You know I don’t smoke.”
“I know. I suggested it because it looked like a bitch.”
Seo-jun raised his hand and touched his face. However, when he realized that he couldn’t recognize his expression just by touching it with his hand, he quickly lowered his hand.
“More than that, Uncle. This is indoors.”
“You know what? Sea Pearl.”
Chiik Mancheol brought the fire from the lighter to the cigarette next to his mouth and lit it.
“So the body. Are you okay?”
“After a little rest, I feel much better. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.”
“Go to the hospital anyway. If it goes wrong while trembling in pain to save money, only you have to lose.”
“are you okay. A little rest would be better. you know That Awakener.”
Mancheol looked at Seojun with an absurd expression.
“Why did the Awakener make his bones out of iron?”
“It’s not like that, but it’s stronger than normal people. If I were a normal person, where would I have gone wrong?”
“young. Proud to be a natural awakener.”
A thick layer of cigarette smoke came out of Huu Mancheol’s mouth.
“so. How much did you save from that damn thing?”
“I’m almost done.”
“Are you really going to try? Hunter.”
“yes.”
Mancheol stared blankly at Seojun’s face as he answered without hesitation.
A face full of laughter. No matter how gloomy he was, whenever he talked about Hunter, Seo-joon would smile.
Looking at it, I had a lot to say.
Do you know what the competition rate for the Hunter exam is these days?
In the first place, what kind of job do you want to be like, risking your life to earn money?
Above all, isn’t it a waste to spend all the hard-earned money on the academy?
However, Mancheol soon brushed off his thoughts.
‘Am I too old?’
Compared to himself, Seo-joon was infinitely young. Although the situation was not good, it is still too early to set such a realistic standard.
‘Maybe it’s an excuse I made up to run away.’
Maybe there was no need to set such a standard in the first place.
Because that’s what a dream is.
Mancheol just let out a laugh.
“If there is anything you need my help with, let me know. He’s a man with a stomach, but he’s enough to buy me a drink.”
“really? Then… the 2 million won liquor?”
Huu Mancheol blew out thick cigarette smoke once again.
“Yes, I’ll show you the world of 2 million won adults, so work hard. Does a guy who is supposed to be a hunter have to throw away his body like this to use it? And even if I become famous later, can’t you pretend you don’t know me?”
“of course. ah! Will you dispose of the monster carcasses I caught?”
“Oh… that’s good. Then can I touch the dragon too?”
“Is it only dragons? I’ll let you play football with the lich skull.”
Seojun and Mancheol giggled like that for a while.
Returning home, Seo-jun simply washed up and lay down.
Although the house was only a single room, smaller than a gosiwon, the comfort of familiarity was no less than that of a 100-pyeong house.
Cheer.
For a moment, the pain rushed through my leg as if electricity had been pierced through it.
“Ugh! It’s like this again. You shouldn’t have gone to the hospital like you said.”
However, Seo-jun quickly shook his head.
If you go to the hospital, they say that they will check this and that, but the cost of the test alone is just broken.
I didn’t want to spend a penny or two at a point where it was a pity.
“What will be fine?”
Above all, Seojun was an awakening person. Awakeners’ natural healing power was 4-5 times that of normal people, so unless it was a big problem, they would recover quickly.
“How much do you think you have left now…”
Seo-joon picked up his smartphone and checked his account.
[Account balance: 35560000 ￦]
“If you add 2 million won to the 200,000 won per day you received today… 40 million won is really close!”
Seo-joon looked at the screen reflected on the screen and grabbed his trembling chest.
Academy tuition is 40 million won.
Of course, even considering the tuition for one year, the academy that Seo-joon wanted to go to was quite expensive.
However, considering that the tuition fees for famous academies start at 100 million won, it was not that expensive.
Instead, the level of care is different, but it is an amount that ordinary people like Seo-jun cannot afford.
Needless to say, the academy had former S-class and A-class hunters as instructors.
That’s why Seojun chose and chose ‘Arc Academy’.
The evaluation of the instructors was good, and the student management and the rate of passing students every year were quite good.
“I can go to school in a month now, so thinking about the start date… I can go register right after work tomorrow!”
Seo-jun could not hide his pounding heart. It was nine years. The time it took to dream of becoming a pro hunter and save money for academy tuition.
Of course, you didn’t have to go to the academy to become a Hunter.
Sometimes, there were people who did not go to the academy and passed the pro hunter exam by self-study.
But that’s just the circumstances of the very few who are full of talent. For most people, including Seo Jun, this was not the case.
“at las…!”
To be honest, I wanted to save a little more money and go to a better academy.
However, Seojun’s age is 27.
He was still young, but it was time to start something soon.
“Finally, let’s see if there is a better academy.”
However, the beginning is always exciting.
Seo-joon went into each and every post related to the academy and checked the content.
[Let’s prepare for the pass in advance with Hunter Mill in November!]
[The shortest short-term pass 1st place, the low-power ale academy proves it as a final passer.]
[An pass solution only for you. Gaon Academy makes your dreams a reality. ]
Most of them were academies that Seo-joon couldn’t go to, but he could still feel a kind of vicarious satisfaction just by watching them.
.
.
“My eyes are sore. I need to stop sleeping now.”
Looking at the time, it was past 11 o’clock.
Time to go to bed to go back to work tomorrow.
That’s when I was about to turn off my smartphone.
[Transcendentalist Academy]
The name of the academy I had never seen before seemed to pass by.
“Academy for transcendentalists?”
Was there even a Hunter Academy like this?
