Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 79



Episode 79

Hyeonmu Guild 2nd Management Department.

“Hmm. Where did you see it? “I’m sure I saw it somewhere and I…”

Manager Lee Young-ho of the Hyeonmu Guild had been deep in thought while watching the video of the large-scale disaster captured by a drone.

In the paused video three hunters were captured soaring toward the beehive with their black wings spread.

Two of them were the famous Lim Tae-gyu and Baek Mi-ho so it was impossible to recognize them but the problem was the other one.

Nothing has been known yet about the identity of this third hunter.

“It seems like the White Tiger Guild and the Shinigami Guild are controlling the information.”

“yes. “They say they are responding to reporters’ requests with complete silence.”

“That means in the end….”

“Of course.”

At that moment Manager Lee Young-ho and his subordinates nodded to each other with confident eyes.

“That means they haven’t recruited this hunter yet.”

“That’s my opinion too. If it’s already theirs there’s no reason to hide it. Rather it will be widely known and used to promote the guild.”

“of course. “Because wing buffs are rare.”

As far as is known Tae-gyu Lim and Mi-ho Baek did not have a skill that gave them wings.

So the conclusion is that this third hunter was the one who applied the buff and regardless of class a hunter who could grant the ability to fly to others had tremendous strategic value.

No in fact the lower the grade the better.

The lower the price the better the cost-effectiveness will be.

“We have to somehow recruit this useful guy before the other guilds get away with it. “Especially it can never be taken away from the White Tiger Guild.”

The White Tiger Guild was famous for recruiting only hunters with the Beast Shoes skill but healers and buff hunters were exceptions.

In particular since this hunter has wings there was a high possibility that it would be an application of the beast transformation skill.

In many ways the White Tiger Guild has no choice but to covet it.

“First of all make a contract. “In the meantime I will try to figure out the identity somehow.”

“How about setting a ransom price?”

“Why are players like this? Leave the down payment item blank for now. “If it’s a baby that has just awakened you should hit it as hard as you can.”

“Hehe. All right. But how are you going to find out who I am?”

“With my head.”

Manager Lee Young-ho’s eyes flashed as he pressed his forehead with two fingers as if he had supernatural powers.

“You know what? Before the cataclysm I was a hairdresser. And I remembered the faces and names of all the customers who passed through me at least once.”

“…Here we go again.”

The subordinate shook his head at the same repertoire every time and returned to his seat.

But Lee Young-ho believed in his own sharp eyes.

“I definitely saw it. It’s definitely a face in my memory. What did I miss?…”

In his mind the faces of countless hunters began to unfold like a panorama.

‘It’s not a guy I met in person. If that were the case I would have remembered it right away. So is this the face you saw on Hunter.net or the news? …ah!’

In the end he did it.

“I remembered a bird!”

Manager Lee Young-ho suddenly jumped up from his seat like a thunderbolt with bloodshot eyes.

“It was him back then! “That E-class summoner who dared to attack us!”

“yes? “You’re an E-class hunter?”

At Manager Lee Young-ho’s words a subordinate who was printing a contract next to him tilted his head and asked back.

“Yeah man! Hahaha! This is me too! “It’s only been less than a month how could I have forgotten?”

The employee still looked puzzled by the confident words of Manager Lee Young-ho.

“Chief are you sure? If it’s really E-level how can you make three people fly even if it’s a skill? “If you fly you’ll soon run out of mana and fall down right?”

“You need to find out that from now on. Don’t hesitate use any means necessary to get rid of this guy’s identity! “Other guilds are probably watching right now so as quickly as possible!”

“I’m working overtime today again.”

Meanwhile the Baekho Guild was also having a hard time because of Suho.

“Vice President other guilds keep asking for the identity of ‘that hunter’. What should I do?”

“Just tell me you don’t know anything.”

“That’s a bit… ambiguous. Since his face is already widely known… I guess he’s looking for each of the C-level hunters we’ve summoned in the Seoul area to see if they’ve seen that face.”

“…try to hold on somehow. “Until we recruit him first.”

From earlier Baek Mi-ho had been holding on to her phone with a nervous expression.

But no matter how many times I tried to call Suho he wouldn’t answer.

-Are you sleeping by any chance? As you see this text…

I already tried sending a text message but no matter how long I waited I never received a reply.

“You sure didn’t give me a strange number?”

No if that were the case someone else would have received it.

“Or maybe… you blocked me?”

No it can’t be!

That made even less sense.

“okay. There’s no reason to block me right? We fought together as colleagues… and I even carried him on my back. Oh wait! “Could it be that President Lim Tae-gyu hasn’t already taken him?”

When Baek Mi-ho thought of Lim Tae-gyu Baek Mi-ho’s eyes trembled.

Lim Tae-gyu was the same as a colleague who fought together.

It was no exaggeration to say that the guild that had already lived was devastated by this incident and was completely ruined financially.

Just handling the situation and paying compensation to the casualties would have cost an astronomical amount of money.

‘But it won’t really be ruined. ‘Because President Lim Tae-gyu himself is an S-class hunter.’

A hunter’s true power comes from force not money.

Even if all the hunters in the Reaper Guild left they could rise again as long as Lim Tae-gyu an S-class hunter was there.

Either rebuild the guild or create a new guild.

In this situation Lim Tae-gyu would never want to miss out on an outstanding talent named Seong Su-ho.

“…Vice President?”

The Human Resources Manager of the Baekho Guild was unfamiliar with the sight of Baek Mi-ho muttering to herself with an anxious expression.

“Was this hunter named Seong Su-ho such a great person? Even though the wing buff is rare you’re only a C-rank hunter?”

“It’s not just C-level.”

Baek Mi-ho spoke firmly.

“Hunter grade and wing buffs don’t really matter. Hunter Seong Su-ho is….”

Now other guilds knew nothing.

The only reason they are interested in Suho is probably because of the wing buff.

Or perhaps it is because he is the only recruitable hunter among the three who ended this disaster.

Since he can’t recruit Lim Tae-gyu or himself his purpose is to bring in one other person and use it as a promotional effect for the guild.

But Baek Mi-ho was different.

He watched Suho’s battle closer than anyone else.

At the scene of a fierce battle that makes the blood boil.

“He… cannot be taken away by anyone.”

* * *

[13 missed calls]

“What brings so many?”

Suho who managed to escape from the shadow dungeon after completing a difficult daily quest belatedly checked his cell phone and made a puzzled expression.

Half of them were the numbers of Baek Mi-ho and Lim Tae-gyu who had received business cards this time and the other half were unknown numbers.

[Kehehehe! How wonderful! Lord Sogun’s popularity is astounding!]

“calm down. “It’s not that neat.”

While Ber with his arms outstretched was spinning around and bursting into laughter with joy Quay skillfully turned on the computer and showed Suho the internet news.

[Master would you like to see this? It seems that the owner’s face has been spread across various media this time.]

“hmm. “I see.”

The Internet was on fire because of the recent disaster committed by the Ministry of Immigration.

Of course there has been a lot of news about Suho until now but most of them were known as the Beast King Crow thanks to Suho wearing a crow mask.

But this time things were very different.

As the famous Baek Mi-ho and Lim Tae-gyu were right next to each other Su-ho’s face also became widely known.

Quay who was watching Suho’s reaction next to him quickly knelt down and prayed.

[I committed a mortal sin! It looks like you’re having trouble dealing with what I did this time!]

[Keeeeek! Sinners lift your head up! And die!]

Deng Geng.

Ver thought it was time to cut off Quay’s head but it quickly came back and Suho’s mana drained.

Quay didn’t pay any attention to Ver and was only looking at Suho.

[I’m sorry but… were you hiding your identity?]

“No it’s nothing like that is it?”

[Hmm. Right now Solord is quietly building up his strength. This is because there may be apostles from outer space working secretly on Earth.]

Beside him Ber opened his mouth his eyes flashing meaningfully.

[At this very moment far away in space our king is waging a fierce war with foreign powers. The fact that the gate was opened on Earth was something they did to target our rear.]

Ber gave a comprehensive speech to Quay a newcomer about the truth about what is happening behind the scenes in the world.

Quay nodded and accepted the handover from his senior with a serious face.

He was able to understand quickly because he had already instinctively realized the truth about the monarchs to some extent after being transformed by the queen bee.

[…I see. Then are the flying insects currently roaming around here also apostles of the outer universe?]

[No that’s a real flying insect.]

[I see.]

In fact there were beings that irritated Ver and Quay’s senses from the moment they came out of the shadow dungeon.

Today strange signs of popularity were felt near Suho’s house.

[There are some flying insects creeping outside the small lord’s house.]

“hmm.”

Suho slowly opened the window and looked at what was going on outside.

People who felt magical power were watching from all over the alley.

A cool light passed through Suho’s eyes.

“Hunters.”

[Seeing how they are secretly wary of each other they seem to be coming from different places.]

[Master there are some faces I know. It seems like they are scouts for guilds who came to recruit masters.]

“You found out my personal information this quickly?”

Suho was a little surprised.

It’s only been a day since the case was solved but they’ve already found out where I live and are coming to visit me.

[Because that’s what they do. Since his face was known he would probably have been scouring Hunter Net or association information all night long.]

Huh.

At that moment I heard the sound of wind outside the window.

No matter how long we waited Suho didn’t come out of the house so someone flew a drone with a camera.

Then the other side began to take out drones as if they could not lose.

It seemed like he was trying to check through the window to see if Suho was inside the house.

“Really. Even drones?”

Suho frowned.

“Do hunters have no privacy at all?”

[After the cataclysm the whole world tends to ignore minor laws in the name of a state of emergency.]

[Keek! A small person will take care of it right away!]

“don’t do it.”

Suho tugged on Ber’s antennae as he tried to run out.

Ver made a loud noise while hanging on his hand.

[If you receive too much attention from the public there is a risk that Lord Soju’s existence may be exposed to unknown apostles of foreign media.]

“If there are any real apostles of foreign media I think they have already been exposed. Besides shouldn’t it be known that I am the son of the Shadow Lord?”

[Of course it is but…]

Of course Suho had no intention of leaving them alone.

‘The power of the ruler.’

When Suho stretched out his hand an invisible hand crushed all the drones that were flying towards him out of thin air.

Wow!

Puff poop!

“What the hell!”

“What happened all of a sudden…!”

As their drones exploded one after another bewilderment burst out from the mouths of the scouts hiding in the alley.

[Those flying insects are not the ones who will easily retreat from this. Please show me once.]

It was then.

Ugh-

Suho’s cell phone vibrated.

“Who else… um?”

Suho’s eyes widened as he checked his phone with an annoyed expression.

[Uncle]

“Uncle?”

Suho’s uncle.

So I received a phone call from ‘Yoo Jin-ho’ the husband of my father’s only sister.

Jinho Yoo was a grateful adult who had been taking care of Suho ever since Suho’s parents went missing.

“…I guess you saw the news.”

An embarrassed look appeared on Suho’s face.

I was already worried about how much of a fuss they would make.
