Civil Servant Hunter’s S-class Resignation Log

Chapter 25

In fact, he wanted to enter the dungeon with Yoon Seora, even making excuses, in order to better understand her skills in a place without intruding eyes.

So what he wanted to see was her fighting skills, not the pickaxe…

“How dazzling.”

Bang! Bang! Bang! Tossing off her suit jacket and rolling up her shirt sleeves, Seora swung her pickaxe with a bright face. The sound was so loud that the monsters approaching were frightened and ran away.

She didn’t even want to chase after them, so Sejun just waited for Seora to dig up all the magic stones. Before he knew it, a pile of magic stones had piled up next to him.

“Fufu, fufufu! These lumps of money!”

“… How scary.”

From time to time, gloomy laughter could be heard between the banging. It was a very bizarre sight even for him, who was already living his sixth life.

‘She seems to have good physical abilities.’

Her skills were still beyond measure. To be precise, despite showing such physical abilities, her outward strength that he could see was at best only an F-class, so it looked very unbalanced.

It must be the ability of her contracted Entity that it was reflected in his eyes like this. If it was a top-level Entity, there was a high possibility that she would grow to an L-class.

Even now, she was strong enough to kill a Harpoon Snake with one shot. She would be of great help when attacking the Labyrinth Dungeon.

So somehow he had to be liked to lure her in. Although she might seem a little strange, nothing was more important than her skills.

Because Kang Sejun had a goal to attack the Labyrinth Dungeon.

This time, this time, he would surely kill the monster bastard that existed in the last labyrinth.

Cluck! Kang Sejun clenched his teeth. Red anger welled up in his black eyes.

The monster bastard who made his life fail so many times.

This time, I will definitely kill you.

***

“Haa. Physical labor is not comparable to the money at stake.”

Seora wiped her forehead with a clean and fresh face.

Dug up magic stones were filling up one side of the cave. Her heart was full, and the world suddenly looked beautiful, and she felt like she could be generous with everyone.

“Oh, what’s this? Returnee-ssi, what did you do without even killing the monsters? Huh? Are you fooling around while the rest of us are working hard?”

With the pickaxe in her inventory, Seora found Sejun sitting next to her, and frowned. Sejun looked at her as if she was being ridiculous.

“Is working for your own money also work?”

“It’s still physical labor. Anyway, why didn’t you kill the monsters? You said you can control your strength. If it takes too long, the director will think it’s weird.”

Maybe he would come into the dungeon. Seora hastily put the magic stones into her inventory.

“Because the monsters were scared by the sound of your pickaxe and ran away. Now that there’s no magic stones left and the place is clean, we have to kill them soon.”

“By the way, what kind of monsters are here? I was so caught up in the magic stones, I couldn’t see them.”

Kang Sejun’s face darkened and he muttered This person is a little strange indeed.

“What’s that?”

“I thought it was weird. You couldn’t have stayed calm if you had seen them. Do you know that Magic Stone Cave is home to monsters that feed on magic stones?”

“Ah, right. I think they are…”

Seora, who had been talking up to that point, stopped moving. Wait, wait.

“Monsters that eat magic stones and grow minerals from their bodies…?”

“It will get better.”

“And since it comes from the monster’s body, it’s more expensive than these ordinary magic stones…?”

“Yes.”

A bright flower bloomed on Seora’s face. Her face was even brighter than when she first entered this cave.

Having moved all of the leftover magic stones to her inventory, she immediately took out the Regeneration Jacket and put it on, and even picked up her weapon Hit. She was ready for battle in an instant.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you going? Since you’re not going, should I kill all the monsters?”

Sejun looked at Seora, who was exuding the spirit enough to shake off this entire cave, in bewilderment.

“Do you know what they say about people like you? A monster created by capitalism.”

“It is the basic knowledge of modern people living in a difficult world. Don’t go if you don’t want to. I will kill them all.”

Seora took the lead and walked with a happy face. Sejun, who was shaking his head, followed her. Maybe it was not that difficult to lure Yoon Seora in.

‘The by-products from Labyrinth Dungeon are as expensive as a huge meteorites.’

Of course, it’s a life-threatening place after all, so I’ll try to throw the bait first.

“They are gathering over there. Mage-ssi, don’t use fire magic. The magic stones embedded in the monsters’ bodies cannot be damaged.”

“I told you I can control the firepower. My years as a returnee are not that short. It was enough time to hone my skills.”

“I don’t think you’ve returned more than once or twice.”

Seora said as if she didn’t know anything, even though she had clearly seen that he had already returned five times.

“If it was only once or twice, it wouldn’t be strange if you weren’t there before.”

Mm, that statement is correct.

“What on earth is your Entity? If it is able to completely cover people’s eyes like this, normally it shouldn’t be too strong. Come to think of it, they said that there was no message when you joined the S-class community.”

“Well, it’s a… god… who cares deeply about me.”

It’s not an Entity, but anyway, it has the same power as a god, so let’s call it a god for now.

[Administrator: (*´∀`*)ゞ]

Fortunately, it didn’t seem to feel so bad.

“But why do you keep asking about my Entity? What is yours?”

“Hourglass.”

“… What?”

“The hourglass that governs fate and time. It is all thanks to the power of the Entity that I am able to return back in time.”

When Seora was secretly spying on Kang Sejun’s identity, it had clearly said “The Hourglass of Destiny.” But she hadn’t expected it ot be a real hourglass, not just a nickname.

“But what’s the reason of the regression? Is it because of your Entity? Or is it because of something else?”

As Seora asked a sharp question, Sejun looked caught off guard. Hesitating, he soon sighed and nodded.

“You’re right to say that I wanted a comeback. In the end, I had to die miserably without achieving my goal.”

“Uh, um… I’m sorry.”

Seora apologized with an awkward face because she didn’t expect the sudden talk about death.

I see. Regression happens after death. In other words, it meant that Sejun had died five times.

‘Let’s understand even if that guy is acting strangely… It is normal for your personality to be worn out if you’ve died five times.’

Suddenly he became very pitiful.

“The monsters are there.”

But after a while, when Sejun pointed inside with a chin gesture, Seora quickly shook off her emotions and concentrated.

“It’s an Ore Rhino!”

The swarming monsters’ noses were studded with hard ore-like horns. It was created by the accumulation of nutrients in magic stones, which was eaten as a staple food by Ore Rhinos, and was very expensive because it was used to produce advanced recovery potions.

“What a load of money here. I feel like I’m in a diamond mine.”

Seora, drunk with happiness, muttered aloud.

“Horn ores. Guardian Spirit Guild will surely buy these with their eyes lit.”

Guardian Spirit Guild had the largest number of Healers and Mages in Korea. Therefore, rather than attacking the dungeon alone, they tend to collaborate with other guilds or focus on potion production, and thanks to this, all the items that were used for the production were swept clean by them.

That horn ores was no exception.

“Yoon Seora, I have a suggestion.”

“What?”

“You’re going to sell it to the store anyway, aren’t you? As you can’t make a deal directly with Guardian Spirit Guild because you’re hiding your S-class status.”

“That’s right.”

“Give it to me. I will negotiate with Guardian Spirit Guild for you.”

Seora’s eyes widened at the unexpected words.

“You?”

“Item stores charge a commission for transactions. If you trade directly without going through a store, it won’t cost that much commission, so it wouldn’t be a bad offer for you either.”

“That means…”

“Yeah, I won’t charge a commission. I mean, I’m going to do it for you for free.”

Seora blinked. Certainly, through Kang Sejun, Guardian Spirit Guild would not be able to beat the price or cheat. It really wasn’t a bad offer.

“Why? Why do you want to do that? Why would you do that?”

“Can I ask you a favor instead?”

“I am a poor civil servant, so I have nothing.”

“It is not a material request. Just think about it once I ask for help later. It’s okay if you refuse, but I hope you at least give it some serious thought.”

“Is there anything an L-class can ask me for help?”

“I can’t solve everything.”

For some reason, Sejun’s smile seemed bitter. But at the same time, he also looked very angry.

It seemed that he was recalling an old time that he alone remembered, at some point in the past.
