Chapter 3




Chapter 3
About three policemen stormed into the store.
They wore battle suits, and in their hands, they held suppression batons to fight the monster.
But they immediately noticed that the situation was over and took a picture of goblin’s body who had a hole on its head.
A police officer then walked to Do-jun.
“Excuse me, was it you who killed this goblin?”
Standing in front of the goblin’s body was a physically fit man in his mid to late 20s and a delicate teenage girl. The policeman came up with the idea that that man, Do-jun, must have been the one who had killed the goblin.
Do-jun shook his head at once, then he held both of Seol Yoon-hee’s shoulders and stuck her out to his front.
“It was my daughter.”
The police gave a small nod.
It wasn’t surprising for them that a teenage girl could knock down a goblin.
In fact, if people of all ages could awaken their abilities or strengthen it by using mana stones, they could work as hunters and gain superhuman abilities.
“Do you happen to have any ID?”
The policeman, who was holding a notebook and a pen, asked Seol Yoon-hee.
She took her wallet out of her arms and gave her student ID to the police.
She has yet to enter high school, so she gave out her student ID card when she was still in middle school.
“Please tell me your phone number, home address, and account number. You’ll be given a reward money for it.”
“Reward?”
The police nodded.
“In addition to the price of the goblin’s mana stone and its corpse, the police will give you a reward for protecting the citizens’ lives. I think you’re her guardian, so can you tell me your account number, sir?”
It was Seol Yoon-hee, herself who caught goblin.
Moreover, Do-jun was not even her legal guardian, and they weren’t even registered as a cohabitant, that’s why he decided to give the money to Seol Yoon-hee.
“Yoon-hee. Tell them your account number.”
“What? Will that be ok for you?”
“Well
 you’re the one who killed it.”
Seol Yoon-hee hesitated for a while before telling the policeman her account number.
After which, the policeman gave a brief salute.
“Thank you for your cooperation.”
  
When they came back home after shopping for groceries, a message was sent to Seol Yoon-hee that an amount of 150,000 won was deposited to her account.
50,000 won for the corpse, including the Mana Stone of the goblin, and a 100,000 won reward money from the police.
“That’s quite a sum.”
Do-jun read the text message as he sneaked to Seol Yoon-hee’s side.
Perhaps due to the short notice, Yoon-hee found herself slightly flustered.
“If you can earn this much by just hunting one monster, is there a need for you to stay with me?”
Aside from the honorarium, if you catch one goblin, you’ll get 50,000 won, and if you catch 10, it would be 500,000 won. It’s not that difficult to think that she could earn a sum by just doing so.
However, Seol Yoon-hee shook her head in dismay.
“That situation just now was an exception. For a monster to suddenly appear after a small Rift in the air was extremely rare and unheard of. It’s also not safe to assume that all goblin-type monsters are easy to catch. In addition, rifts, which are commonly called dungeons, can only be entered by those who have been issued a Hunter card or those who are in related occupations. Because I’m still an ordinary person, it’s impossible for me to hunt as of the moment.”
Do-jun recalled the gun that she used.
It was not your ordinary gun. After capturing the qi of its surrounding, it then condensed into a bullet and was fired.
When he estimated the qi, it was insignificant. However, he still thought that it was great that she was able to do it.
“Are there any cultivation techniques that you are learning?”
“
Cultivation? What do you mean?”
“In order to absorb the qi of the dungeon
 No, nevermind.”
Come to think of it, it was strange. Seol Yoon-hee’s body has no trace of cultivation technique in any way.
No matter how much one cultivated, even if one takes an elixir, the entrance and exit meridian points of the body had to be open in order to absorb the qi of the dungeon.
“Anyways, you were surprised, right? Well, actually, I’ll soon be a student at the National Hunter Academy in March. I haven’t awakened yet, but I know how to handle Mana
  Though I’m not an official hunter I have a Mana Gun license, that’s why I can carry one around.”
One by one, she placed the side dishes on the table and smiled.
She thought Do-jun would be extremely surprised about it.
She might not be a legitimate hunter just yet, but it is already a common aspiration to become a hunter and enter the National Hunter Academy.
Being a student at the National Hunter Academy and passing its standards would guarantee one’s career in the Hunters’ Association.
“That’s amazing. Not everyone can be a hunter, huh?”
His monotonous response caused a slight agitation on Seol Yoon-hee.
She inflated her cheeks and picked up a carrot – slamming it on the chopping board.
“You’ll have to be nice to me. You never know, I might become ve-e-ery famous later on.”
Do-jun thought it was quite cute of her, so he just smiled and just let it pass.
  
7 AM in the morning.
Do-jun woke up before his alarm rang up.
He could now even wake up earlier without setting the alarm.
He removed the blanket and went out to the living room. From there, he could see Seol Yoon-hee was busy cooking in the kitchen.
“Oh. How rare of you to be up so early, Father.”
Seol Yoon-hee then turned around as she heard the door open in Do-jun’s room.
She was startled to see Do-jun wearing only underwear.
“Oh, w-wear some clothes!”
“But I’m still going to take a shower. I’ll wear some after then.”
“That’s not what I’m saying
 Sigh.”
After a while, Do-jun came out from the bathroom and saw food carefully prepared on the table.
Seasoned water parsley, spinach, beans cooked in soy sauce, coleslaw
  They were all vegetables.
On the first day of her visit here, Seol Yoon-hee saw containers of delivery food piled up in the house. She thought that Do-jun rarely eats vegetables, that’s why she only served vegetable side dishes today.
“When you get home from work, I’ll grill meat for you for dinner. So, you don’t have to eat much.”
Last night, Do-jun didn’t complain much about their dinner and ate well.
Even in the morning, she only served him vegetables, so Seol Yoon-hee felt uncomfortable.
“Eat well.”
Do-jun sat down and started eating without saying anything.
For today, his work was still at nine o’clock, so he still had time to relax.
Seated opposite to Do-jun was Seol Yoon-hee. She then opened her mouth while watching him eat.
“By the way, father. What do you do?”
“I work at the City Hall.”
“Wow. So you’re a civil servant?”
Do-jun nodded and took a sip of the potato soup.
Seol Yoon-hee’s face was full of smiles as she placed down a bowl.
“
 What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing.”
Seol Yoon-hee thought it was how much of a relief it was that Do-jun did not do anything dangerous.
Besides, the city hall is relatively safe from monsters.
Although he wasn’t her real dad, she doesn’t want to lose anyone from her family anymore.
“Eat a lot. Dad.”
  
At 8:30 AM, the city hall was pretty peaceful.
But a few departments weren’t.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
The Rift Management Department was located on the 7th floor of Seoul City Hall.
Most of the staff there were busily working and looking at each other’s work.
Especially because of the nature of the work where emergencies might happen at any time, many people work overtime.
“Good morning.”
Do-jun entered the office and bowed his head.
Kang Chul-soo, who confirmed this scene, jumped up from his seat and ran to Do-jun.
“Yes. Are you okay? Is it alright for you to work now?”
“Yes. Thank you for your concern. As you can see, I’m fine.”
“Tell me immediately if ever you don’t feel good. If someone says something, tell me right away. I’ll kick their asses.”
“
Thank you.”
Do-jun couldn’t understand why Kang Chul-soo was overreacting so much.
It’s as if he’s taking care of a child.
But none of them attempted to pry any further.
Because just a few days ago.
Do-jun was a stuttering introvert who couldn’t adapt well to his career.
Although people changed too much in the morning, their character still remains to be seen.
“Do-jun, that’s your desk. Do you remember?”
He didn’t respond to the question because he couldn’t remember it at all.
Do-jun sat at the desk where he worked before he “died” and went to the Murim world, but he now feels as if he had never seen it before.
“If you don’t know something, feel free to ask.”
A man in his early 30s sitting next to him looked at Do-jun and said.
Kwon Hyuk-soo – a civil servant for five years and has been working in the Rift Management Department for three years.
Do-jun made a lot of mistakes at first and didn’t work as efficiently as before, so Kwon Hyuk-soo took care of at least half of Do-jun’s original work.
However, he just kept silent and never complained about it.
“Thank you.”
Do-jun returned to his work and began to browse through the basic work manual.
From the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s administrative portal to the nation-wide system commonly used by government officials across the country.
Basically, he needs to learn again how to post drafts or deal with business trips and overtime tabs.
There was so much to learn.
When he took a rest to look at the time, it was already past 9:10.
Kang Chul-soo murmured while looking at his wristwatch.
“She should have been here now.”
“She’s a great hunter, after all, we have to understand.”
“Are F-class hunters considered great, too?”
“They’re still hunters, anyway.”
Kwon Hyuk-soo said with a big smile.
Speaking of the devil, a girl burst open the door and gasped for breath after running.
“I-I’m sorry, I’m late!”
It was a girl who seemed to be in her early 20s and has a youthful appearance.
Chief Kang Chul-soo got up from his seat and walked towards her.
“Oh, my. I should have come and greeted you in the front.”
“Oh, no! Sir, it’s alright. I’m sorry, I’m late.”
All of the staff stood up.
She shook hands with all of them, feeling burdened.
“Take a seat
”
She was also aware of it, too.
A mere F-class hunter.
Civil servants will respect you outwardly, but it’s all tokenism.
“Mr. Do-jun, say hi. This is our newly contracted hunter. You had amnesia, right? Be advised, our main task is to explore Rifts, and we usually go out in pairs with the hunter assigned to you. Our new hunter, Cha Yeji, was the one in-charged to you.”
Do-jun was in a car accident and went to the other world before he could even meet her, and Cha Yeji was the first hunter assigned to him.
She was originally supposed to explore an F-class Rift in Gangdong-gu with him. However

“With your current condition, it might be difficult for you to be on the scene, so I’m the one in charge of her right now.”
Do-jun touched his chin and entered into deep thought.
He realized just now that his work was related to exploring rifts, which he presumed would be very troublesome for him.
There’s no way now that he’ll be able to look forward to a normal life while working here.

Civil servant or not, it’s best to stay out of everyone’s sight.
“So you mean it’s originally my job, right?”
“Yes, but you don’t have to strain yourself. No one would fault you for it.”
“No, I’ll take care of it.”
In order to fit into the team.
Do-jun’s eyes were resolute.
