Chapter 68

The Office of the Chief Secretary of the Ark Guild Office Building.

Im Seong-chun, head of the department, was in agony. Because last night, what Cha Min-joon said to him lingered in his head.

[You’re not going to stay in the Ark Guild for the rest of your life anyway. Especially since a person like Chief Lim doesn’t have that kind of personality.]

It was as if he knew something about himself.

Yesterday was definitely the first time I had ever met Minjun directly.

However, Minjun’s way of speaking, which seemed to suggest something, bothered me.

Should I say that it feels like the inside that has been hidden for so long has been revealed to the world?

A long-held ambition in his heart.

It was as if Minjun knew about that ambition.

“What the hell did you know when you said that?”

It wasn’t just an excuse to cover up yesterday’s situation.

Director Lim, who had never revealed his true intentions to anyone, was concerned about Min-joon.

Lim’s ambition.

That’s right, founding your own guild. He had no intention of rotting in the Ark Guild for the rest of his life.

How long will I have to go after Master Gu Hwang-seok’s grandsons and granddaughters… .

After doing this for nearly ten years, he made a decision that he couldn’t continue like this.

with him.

Director Lim was slowly working out the plan.

He did not simply focus on covering up incidents and accidents within the Ark Guild.

Various slush fund creation, tax evasion, bribery between large corporations, etc. within the Ark Guild.

Director Lim has always been collecting other related evidence.

Of course, when these facts are revealed.

It is an established fact that one’s own life is at risk.

However, the last words of Min-jun yesterday, who was only a freshman trainee, flickered for some reason.

[I am Chief Lim’s ambition! We are here to help. Of course, it’s not yet the right time. Please postpone the current plan for a while. Rather, you are hurt.]

‘How much did you know and said such a thing?’

Chief Im wanted to see Min-joon once again.

I needed to find out what the essential meaning of what he was saying and how much he knew about himself.

Moreover, Min-Jun’s behavior was unusual among ordinary trainees.

Noticing only the drive that drank B-03, an illegal stimulant.

It didn’t really make sense to respond by using the ‘parliament flower’ ingredient on the roof of the dormitory.

‘There’s something beyond clever.’

Director Lim thought that he was not the kind of student who could only shoot well with an arrow.

Unlike other trainees.

The unique air flow felt only by Minjun was also mysterious.

It was to the point where I couldn’t even think of the capsule containing Gu Dong-man’s bodily fluid.

***

Zenix Academy Liberal Arts Classroom.

Nearly 50 first-year trainees went up to the podium at the call of the professor in charge.

“Department of Magic, Hyeonji Kim, Article 8.”

“Summoning Department, Nomi-ran, Group 2.”

“Department of Correspondence Department Park Doo-shik 3rd team.”

Group formation was done quickly.

It was simply a task to visit the guild and research the data.

Equity was not an issue.

The group was composed of 10 groups, each consisting of 5 people.

Minjun, whose turn hadn’t come yet, waited for his turn to come.

Park Anna, who was next to her, was watching Min-jun from a distance as they were already in a group.

‘Why are you looking at me so earnestly?’

In Park Anna’s eyes, I could see that she hoped to be in the same group as Min-jun.

It seemed that Min-joon would be more comfortable with at least one friend than all four of them were strangers.

By the time the groups of nearly 40 trainees were formed like that.

Minjun’s order finally came.

“Cha Min-jun, a student in the Department of Archery, please come out.”

When the professor in charge called his name, Min-joon went up to the podium.

A large black box.

It was so dark that I had no idea what was inside.

gulp-

So far, groups 2, 4, 5, and 9 have already been organized.

It was the moment when Minjun’s fate would be decided in the remaining six groups.

Above all, in the case of Team 8, which Anna Park belongs to.

Since one member of the group had yet to be selected, the possibility of being selected in group 8 remained.

Minjun put his hand inside the black box.

There were round balls tangled in it.

After stirring a couple of times, he grabbed a ball with a snap.

“Archery Department Cha Min-jun, Class 5.”

5 trillion.

First of all, it became clear that it was a different group from Anna Park.

Minjun walked to the place where the 5 trillion members were gathered.

“Hey~ Is this an honor?”

“The winner of the first stage is our Zoro! nice to meet you. I am Changwon Lee. I’m counting on you.”

“I am Seo Min-jae. You can tell by looking at him that his major is spearmanship, right?!”

“Then is it a group like this?”

The 5 trillion won were characters who did not have much weight in the original work.

Seo Min-jae, who was in the spearmanship department, was at the highest level in the middle of the ranking in the department.

but aside from that.

Anyway, the main core of this group task is to research and visit the selected guild.

It wasn’t enough to pay much attention to the difference in combat power.

“Now, with this, the group of 10 teams is complete. Please work together with each other’s team members to complete the task well. Then, a leader for each group will be selected and there will be a guild lottery in five minutes.”

be the foreman

The members of Team 5 looked at each other one by one.

It was a part that clearly revealed the tendency to not like anyone to step out.

The other group is faintly audible.

There was also a place where they showed an active appearance saying that they would do it themselves.

Moreover, in the case of group 8, where the leader selection is underway right next to you.

“me! i will do it I am completely confident!”

Park Anna was appealing to promote actively.

‘Anyway, I can’t stop it.’

Maybe he was upset because he wasn’t in the same group as Minjun, but he had a personality that he couldn’t get over without being a leader.

Meanwhile, Min-joon led the conversation by looking at the members one by one.

“Is there anyone you want to promote?”

“… … .”

Of course not.

I heard that there would be no jowon who actively step out.

It’s usually better for someone who wants to lead to do it than to do it forcefully.

I was wondering if there was any, but it was.

“Hmm.”

At this time, Seo Min-jae from the spearmanship department looked at Min-jun.

“Whether you do.”

If there was no affection, Min-joon was going to step in and do it.

Min-joon felt a little less burdened when he was guided in this way.

“If there are no applicants, that is. Is everyone okay?”

Minjun looked at each member of the group again.

nevertheless.

No one objected.

‘This will appeal to the professor in charge.’

In the case of the usual ‘Guild Fundamental Theory’ class.

There are many dedicated professors who mainly look at leadership, so if you say that you are in charge of the group leader.

It became a factor that added to the final exam to some extent.

Oddly enough, there were cases where the leader, who had not been the most active among the members of the group, later received higher scores than the members of the group.

“Then, knowing that everyone has no complaints, I’ll do it. captain.”

“OK. I agree.”

“me too.”

“Let it be.”

“Because I’m not the type to step out. rather good.”

With this, the leader of Team 5 became Min-Jun.

***

As soon as the leader of each group was decided, a guild lottery was held.

If there are large guilds like the Woohwang Guild and the Ark Guild.

There were still some guilds that lacked popularity in Korea.

However, all 10 guilds appearing on the screen were guilds that sponsored Jenix Academy every year.

The trainees also needed to know.

According to the order of each group, the guild lottery was conducted from group 1.

“Once adopted, a guild cannot be changed. Please pay attention to this point and pull the lever in front.”

The leader of the first group stepped forward and pulled the red lever.

As soon as I pulled the lever, 10 guild names quickly turned around.

obviously.

Most of the trainees wanted to take on large guilds such as the Woo Hwang Guild and the Ark Guild.

That would be too.

Apparently, the smaller the guild, the less research there was.

Since there was little interest, there were many points to dig into in detail.

Squeak-

[Serum Guild]

Group 1 was won by the Serum Guild.

A guild that is rapidly emerging among young hunters these days.

Its founding history was not very long, but it was the most exotic and unlike other guilds.

As each Hunter’s characteristics stood out, their status was on the rise.

“Wow! I envy you.”

“These days, serums are popular again!”

“Did you see the guild member recruitment announcement this year? You said it was a hit?”

“ah! it? Giving C-rank or higher magic crystals to all recruits?”

“Isn’t it great? I’m envious~ If you’re going to research materials, you’ll still find out the details.”

“Our group only goes to the Woohwang Guild!”

Starting with group 1, other managers also pulled the lever in succession.

[Team 2, Piaco Guild.]

[Group 3, Earth Guild]

[Group 4, Kench Guild]

Before long, the order of the 5th group approached.

“Show us your ability to win the First Stage!”

“I believe in you.”

“I know I’ll die if I pull something out!”

Min-joon stood in front of the lever after receiving the cheers (?) of the members.

‘Why are you all nervous?’

It’s a game of probability anyway.

Looking at the current situation, it was in a very advantageous part.

Except for Serum Guild.

It was because the guilds that had been taken from other teams so far were not at the level of being famous.

At least the ‘Piaco Guild’ is one of the domestic guilds.

The overall combat power was barely in the middle range.

Because of this, looking at the remaining guilds, it was likely that Minjun would have a good choice.

gulp-

Minjun swallowed dryly. Then, he pulled the lever without hesitation.

Chow ah-

Six guild members spun around and went back.

As everyone focused on the screen, the 5 trillion members grabbed their hands.

“Jebabaaal.”

Even more, Minjun wanted the Ark Guild in his heart.

Using the bad relationship (?) with Gu Dong-man as an excuse, he pushed for a meeting with Master Gu Hwang-seok, because this task could serve as a justification to some extent.

Before long, Minjun vigorously pulled the lever in front of him.

again-

Fast-spinning roulette.

After holding my breath for about 10 seconds, the results finally came out.

[Ark Guild]

“!!”

– You’re lucky.

Fortunately, Minjun was happy to be able to visit the guild he wanted.

Min-jun was fine on the inside, but pretended to be calm and approached the members.

The members of the crew embraced Min-jun, as if such Min-jun was so special (?).

“Wow, it’s the Ark Guild!”

“As expected, the leader has potential!”

“The Ark Guild is close to here, right? honey~”

“I believed you~”

Members of the crew continued to praise Minjun.

However, Anna Park, who was watching the scene, was particularly uncomfortable.

“If you just like it, why are you hugging it! Upset.”

Unable to bear it, Park Anna approached Min-jun to interrupt.
