GM Ch7

With so much to hide, Minjun had planned to keep a low profile as a freelancer and stay out of the public eye as much as possible, which meant staying away from high-profile places like the June Guild.

“It would be good to have some experience before working as a freelancer.”

“I don’t really like to hang out with people.”

“Hmm… This is the first time I’ve gotten dumped.”

“…?”

Minjun widened his eyes at Soohyuk’s peculiar choice of words. Soohyuk’s language skills to describe this as a dump were surprising.

“It can’t be helped. If you change your mind, call me at the number on my business card there. I’ll pick up right away.”

“Yes.”

Minjun answered quietly. He didn’t want to provoke the S-class hunter who had casually said he’d never been dumped before.

“I’ll leave now. Apologies for interrupting your meal.”

“That’s alright.”

“See you later.”

“Take care.”

With that, Soohyuk got to his feet. Jung Seongwon, who was sitting at the next table, also stood up from his seat and bowed his head slightly in greeting to Minjun, then moved to follow Soohyuk.

Minjun watched Soohyuk’s back as he walked across the store. The tall, burly man stood out everywhere. He was an S-class hunter, famously handsome, and yet people didn’t even give him a second glance. Judging by the fact that he recognized his face only after making eye contact with Soohyuk earlier, he was probably wearing an item that hindered recognition.

It was a strange feeling. When Minjun was a hunter, items that erased presence or disrupted perception were very rare.

As one of the few S-class hunters in South Korea, he had been noticed everywhere he went. Even with a hat and mask covering his face, he couldn’t hide his larger-than-average height and bulk. While he hadn’t been particularly concerned about the attention he received, he had still found it troublesome at times.

“Maybe I’ll get one later.”

Minjun had given almost all of his wealth to the mage tower lord in order to successfully come back to this dimension. He had brought along quite a few B- and C-class magic stones in case of existence dilution, but they were his lifeblood and could not be sold.

There were a few items he could use instead. He didn’t have a hunter’s licence yet, so he couldn’t trade them the normal way. He had to go in and out of the dungeon several times to disguise the source, but if he could sell them for a decent price, it would be a nice emergency fund.

In the meantime, he’d have to deal with the side effect of dimensional travel: the drop in grade, and once he was an S-class again, he could start making money. Of course, it would take some time, but Minjun wasn’t impatient anyway.

With his future shopping list filled, Minjun looked at the entrance where Soohyuk had left with a slightly sullen mood. It wasn’t every day that an S-class hunter and the guild leader of a large guild directly offered him a job.

If this was just a whim of Soohyuk’s, there would be no problem, but if he was serious, Minjun would be semi-forced to join the June Guild.

“Whatever.”

It wasn’t in Minjun’s nature to dwell on uncertain issues for long. Wrinkling his nose, Minjun put away the envelope and business card Soohyuk had left behind and began eating the rest of his burgers. The thick-pattied burgers had cooled a bit, but they were still delicious.

“You’re really going to recruit him?”

Jung Seongwon climbed into the passenger seat with Soohyuk and asked before he buckled his seatbelt. Soohyuk, who had just started the car, replied simply.

“Yeah.”

“Why? We only hire B-levels and above now. Did he have any special abilities? I didn’t see it in the report. Elementalists are rare, but they’re not needed.”

“I feel like it.”

“Because you feel like it…You’re not really hitting on him, are you?”

As the vice guild leader of the June Guild, Jung Seongwon, who had had to deal with Soohyuk’s mishaps, considered the worst-case scenario.

Jung Seongwon was Soohyuk’s sixth cousin on his father’s side of the family and had been a lawyer at a prestigious law firm. After awakening on the day of the Second Cataclysm, he and Soohyuk had teamed up to form the June Guild.

In charge of the guild’s affairs, Jung Seongwon was an all-round housekeeper and manager. Everything big and small in the guild passed through his hands. Although he was satisfied with his new job, he had developed the habit of being prepared for anything and seeing it because of his younger cousin, who was always prone to accidents.

“Fasten your seatbelt first.”

“Don’t change the subject. Speak clearly.”

Jung Seongwon fastened his seatbelt. He’d been doing the same job for eight years, so he knew Soohyuk’s personality. There was something fishy about the way he spoke.

“I’m not hitting on him.”

“Really?”

“Hyung. He’s twenty.”

“Then what’s going on? Do you realize how weird you are?”

Soohyuk knew that his behavior was unusual.

Two days ago, when he first saw Minjun in the narrow alley between the buildings, Soohyuk was quite surprised because he bore a striking resemblance to hunter Kim Minjun.

Whereas the tall, brawny hunter had the look of a scary jock older brother, he was the image of a smart model student. The vibe was completely different, but there were many similarities. If he were a little younger, he’d even suspect that he might be hunter Kim Minjun’s son.

After a quick goodbye, Soohyuk returned to the guild and immediately began digging into Minjun’s background. It took him less than an hour to get his information through the Hunter’s Association.

Kim Minjun, 20, C-class, only the practical test was left for the hunter’s license. He had an unusual history; creating a new identity while losing any memories other than his own name.

It was exactly what Minjun had said in his own words. It was also consistent with what Soohyuk had seen in the status bar with his insight skill. There was something else that caught Soohyuk’s eye in Minjun’s status bar. It was a skill called “A Handful of Sunshine,” which was the same name as hunter Kim Minjun’s skill.

The S-class hunter’s character information window could not be viewed accurately with skills or items. Even if viewed by another S-class hunter, it was common for some of the text to be hidden.

In particular, officials unanimously said that hunter Kim Minjun’s status window was blocked in almost everything except for the grade.

“A Handful of Sunshine” was a skill that literally lit up the darkness, and hunter Kim Minjun demonstrated it himself during the interview and revealed the name of his skill.

From what was known so far, skills were often duplicated across hunters. However, “Handful of Sunshine” was not known to be possessed by anyone but hunter Kim Minjun at the moment.

He’d never heard of blood relatives having the same skills, but he wanted to be on the safe side, so he tracked down the blood relationship between him and hunter Kim Minjun.

As far as was known, there was no one left who could be called hunter Kim Minjun’s family. His father was absent from the beginning, and his mother died young. His maternal grandmother, who had been his primary caretaker, passed away the summer he was a junior in high school, leaving him completely alone. Despite his rise to fame as Korea’s first S-class hunter, hunter Kim Minjun was so isolated that not a single person claimed to be related to him.

Soohyuk considered hunter Kim Minjun, who saved his life three times, a benefactor. If his benefactor’s brother or nephew lost his memory and became alone, he would help him in any way he could. He thought about being a sort of “Daddy Long Legs¹” with power and money. But the test results showed that the two men were not even related, let alone be brothers or uncle-nephew.

That should have been the end of his interest.

He could have sent someone else to warn the young twenty-year-old hunter that he shouldn’t even think about claiming to be related to hunter Kim Minjun. But then he made his own move. When he heard the report of where Minjun was going, he drove his car to a burger joint full of people.

It was fine until he advised him that the Star Guild was a strange place. The proceeds from the sale of the magic stone were originally intended to be given back to Minjun anyway. But no matter how much it was meant to be a favor, it was true that it was very uncharacteristic of him to act. There was only one conclusion.

“I think it’s because he looks like hunter Kim Minjun. I didn’t feel bad when I got dumped.”

“Don’t take this the wrong way, but what are you going to do with him, bring him into the guild just because he looks like him?”

“Oh, that’s different, he has a special skill, did you see that, Favorite’s Kiss?”

“I saw that, but why?”

“Gosh. Hyung. You haven’t been studying your skills lately, have you?”

“Hey, I’m busy managing a guild, and I haven’t been in a dungeon in four years. If you’re going to do this, get a professional manager!”

Jung Seongwon exclaimed in protest. After awakening as a B-class hunter, Seongwon traveled with Soohyuk to high-level dungeons. But as the guild grew, he found himself stuck behind a desk instead of in the field.

Now he couldn’t even enter the dungeon unless it was an emergency. Seongwon, who still had a soft spot for dungeon raiding, insisted on using this opportunity to hire a professional manager.

“Oh, sorry. I can’t do it without hyung. You’re the only one I can trust.”

“I’m an idiot for falling for it. So, what’s the deal with Favorite’s Kiss?”

Jung Seongwon had also looked at Minjun’s status bar with his insight skill, and the attribute “Spirit Affinity” meant that Minjun was an Elementalist². Elementalists who could manipulate spirits were very rare, but they didn’t have the combat power of a hunter. That was because spirits didn’t attack monsters.

“It is most likely a buff skill. It’s not official, I just figured it out while studying buff skills, so I checked it out just in case, and it’s a 55% buff. I’ve got a 55% increase in all my stats right now, and it lasts 77 minutes.”

“Are you sure…?”

“Would my eyes be upside down?”

“Of course, 55% is a scam!”

Soohyuk laughed at Seongwon’s loud shout.
