Hoarding in Hell Novel

Chapter 24 Ability Test (7)

There was silence in the audience. They couldn’t believe their eyes.

“Oh my gosh…….”

“It was a really amazing fight. Besides, the last one…”

“Was Naked Butterfly careless? I didn’t expect it to end so quickly.”

“I don’t even know what happened.”

Even when the headhunters were talking, Lee Ji-tae was silent.

In his mind, only Kang Hyunmoo’s last move came to mind. Fast, precise and precise movements. It was such a perfect move that he wondered if he could even do it himself.

Of course, even if Kang Hyunmoo and Naked Butterfly attacked at the same time, Lee Ji-tae had the confidence to subdue it without taking a single step.

Not only him, but any mid-level hunter would be able to do it. The difference between level and experience is huge.

But what if the abilities are the same, and the level difference is not large?

You can see that Kang Hyunmoo’s level is low. He probably didn’t even get past 10. But he was already demonstrating more than his ability.

He’s this much even when he hasn’t grown much yet, but what if he gets to work properly in the dungeon? It will be a matter of time to catch up with the hunters who are pounding their stomachs as middle-class.

If the established hunters started early and were already in a hurry, Kang Hyunmoo was chasing after him in a supercar.

“The results have been announced, Director. Shall we go see the candidates?”

Taeminsoo whispered beside him.

Headhunters were already going out one after another to meet the test takers. Lee Ji-tae looked at the billboard with the score.

The winner of the test was Red Butterfly. However, neither Lee Ji-tae nor any other head hunters thought that Naked Butterfly was number one. They are not just scorers, they are people who come to hire talent.

It’s true that naked butterflies are great, but Kang Hyunmoo made a strong impression beyond that.

In addition, this test was not just a race to collect metal plaques.

Lee Ji-tae opened his mouth.

“First, meet a friend named Kang Hyunmoo.”

waiting room.

All of the test takers, except for the test takers who were so sick, were gathered here.

Those who even managed to preserve the metal plaques seemed relieved, and the candidates who were beaten and deprived of their plaques grunted and stared at someone else.

His gaze was usually directed towards Hyunmoo. This is because Red Butterfly Joe was all on duty because of Hongryeon.

Kang Hyunmoo was also one of those who moaned. A cold can was placed on his head to suppress his throbbing headache.

He was due to lack of mana.

In reality, there is no way to replenish mana, so it will be like this until you go to hell.

The battle helper reduced the use time as much as possible to reduce the mana usage, but the takeover consumed a lot more mana than expected.

It was questionable whether it could be used properly in practice, but it also meant that it was a powerful skill.

‘It doesn’t suit a level 7 person.’

The higher the level in the future, the easier it will be to use as the mana capacity increases. But the headache didn’t seem to go away easily.

It was because it was difficult to recover mana until entering the dungeon. Hyunmoo wanted to go to hell again right away.’This would be enough to recover if you just step into hell.’

However, compared to the deceptive skills and items, the lack of mana is a decent disadvantage. Because it is something that can be improved. Hyunmoo remembered his last use of grip.

‘Why did you do that?’

He did not realize that when he used Kang Ki on the enemy butterfly, it was over in an instant.

However, the figure of himself who used the grip on Hong-ryeon… … If you think about it from a third person’s point of view, it’s like a complete psychopath. Hyunmoo started to wonder if there was such a side to himself.

Perhaps the power he had suddenly acquired began to affect his morality. A reflection on his own self and moral law… … Hyunmoo, who was going to do it, didn’t think too deeply about it.

‘I must have been more trash than I thought, well.’

Isn’t it garbage enough to give the stars a guarantee no matter what?

People can’t do bad things when they don’t have the strength, even if they want to. He can only know the humanity of a person by giving him power. Hyunmoo turned out to be a decent piece of junk.

He still didn’t kill him, so how good is he? He might be a little arrogant.

Hyunmoo said in his mind, ‘Well done.’ He stamped and brushed away his worries.

“Mr. Kang Hyunmoo?”

A voice was heard calling. Hyunmoo raised his head. He was a face he had seen somewhere. He seemed to know himself. But Hyunmoo’s memory was not there.

“I’m sorry. I forgot, but your name is…”

“My name is Taemin-soo.”

Ah. He was the one checking each one when he entered the third gym. Taemin-su took a business card from his arms and held it to Hyunmoo.

「Taeseong Clan, Team Leader Taeminsu.」

“Congratulations on successfully completing a difficult exam.”

“……”

“It was a result that no one expected. He has great skills. May I ask if you have a clan or a teacher you belong to? It sounds like you already have experience in dungeons.”

“There is absolutely nothing.”

Taemin-soo felt that Kang Hyunmoo just didn’t want to talk.

It didn’t matter.

Unless he’s really committed a crime, he’s not even a rogue. Taeseong had the power to correct even such a career in an instant.

Hyunmoo looked at the business card without saying a word. If he had been himself in the past, he might have been thrilled to have received a business card from the Taeseong Clan.

But now I don’t feel anything.

“Then the story would be quick. There is an awards ceremony coming up soon, but I wanted to tell you before that. Mr. Kang Hyunmoo has shown great potential and growth potential in this match. With greater support, that growth is expected to double. . If there is a will, how about working with the Taeseong Clan?”

“No, thanks.”

“Yes. Then, about the terms of the contract, step by step… Yes? Wait, what?”

Taemin-soo seemed to have no idea that Hyunmoo would refuse.

If you join the Taeseong clan, you will receive a lot of support. The monthly salary will also be guaranteed in the billions. He can be guaranteed a comfortable life without going to hell. But Hyunmoo had no intention of doing so.

Because he was no longer bothered to live on his head.

Had he been able to do that, he would have served one of the stars long ago in Hell.

“I like going alone. I don’t plan on joining a clan yet.”

Taemin-su opened his mouth wide. He was as well as the other test takers who were overhearing the story.

Refusing to join the Taeseong clan? It was the people who participated in the expectation that the placenta of the test takers present at this place would be chosen by Taeseong.

Another clan’s mid-level ranks could not be ignored was Taeseong’s recruitment proposal. As Daewoo is one of the top-ranked Daewoo in Korea as well as overseas, Taeseong was the object of envy of hunters.

Hyunmoo returned the business card to Tae Min-soo as if he had no regrets.

“Let’s go to that girl named Naked Butterfly than me? That’s number one.”

“None of the hiring judges think so.”

Taemin-soo said firmly.

“Of course, it doesn’t mean that Nabi-san lacks skills. But we were scoring with a slightly different standard. Kang Hyunmoo…”

Although cooperation and the ability to connect with other hunters are lacking at a level close to 0 points.

The words were once swallowed in the throat.

“…You have shown growth, situational judgment ability, and efficiency several times that of Red Butterfly. The shortcomings can be filled by joining our Taeseong Clan. I think we will create good synergy with Red Butterfly. Both of you He has talent, so I think he will make a big splash in the hunter industry soon.”

Taemin-soo leaned close to his body and whispered.

“Mr. Kang Hyunmoo is still like a tiger. Anyone will recognize that. And Tae-seong can give wings to a running tiger. He will show you a high place that no other clan can reach, not to mention alone.”

Hyunmoo chuckled.

“Separately?”

“Yes?”

“Can I even reach the stars?”

Taemin-soo thought about what kind of metaphor this was. After thinking for a while, Taemin-soo finally answered.

“Of course. I’ll let you go beyond the stars and through the nebulae.”

***

Lee Ji-tae was watching a video of Hyunmoo’s battle in his car. It was such a neat move that I was amazed to see it again.

It was a movement learned from martial arts, but there were no unnecessary movements, and dozens of actual martial arts were cleverly combined.

Hyunmoo was beating his scarecrows with such a move without using any of his skills. Seeing the scarecrows flying and breaking, Lee Ji-tae shook his head.

‘It’s like watching a martial arts movie.’

Eventually, the video entered a battle with the red butterfly. But then I saw someone approaching the parking lot.

It was Taeminsoo.

Lee Ji-tae saw Tae Min-soo approaching with his drooping shoulders and roughly guessed the result.

“Did you decline?”

“Yeah. No matter how high the conditions were, they didn’t seem to be interested.”

Lee Ji-tae nodded his head as if he knew it. It wasn’t much of a surprise.

“While talking about what kind of star you’ll reach, I declined by talking about floating clouds.”

“star?”

Lee Ji-tae suddenly showed interest.

“Yes? Have you ever heard of anything? I thought it was a circus among young people, but I’m not very good at that.”

Lee Ji-tae pondered for a moment and bit his pen.

“…well. I don’t know what it means, so let’s watch it.”“Wow, I guess you were expecting to say no.”

“It didn’t seem like a friend to work for someone else.”

“You haven’t spoken to me, how did you know?”

“A friend that is so strong has that characteristic arrogance. The arrogance of why do I have to work together when I can hold everything on my own? Leave it alone until you figure out what you want. It flies so fast that it will be very frustrating when you hit a wall. We’ll see each other again soon.”

Tae Min-soo wondered why Lee Ji-tae was so presumptuous. But soon he realized the opponent in front of him again.

The best hunter in Korea, one of the only 70 capable 4 star in the world.

As he grew up at a speed that no one could catch up with, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he stepped ahead of Kang Hyunmoo.

“Have you accepted Mr. Red Butterfly?”

“Yes. That’s it, because it was enough just to join the Northern Bee. After that, Kang Hyunmoo, Naked Butterfly, asked if he was joining Taeseong.”

“Did it look like you had a grudge?”

“No. It was the kind of person who desperately wanted to see you again.”

Lee Ji-tae smiled.

***

The sun was already setting outside the window.

Hyunmoo was starting to feel hungry, but he still couldn’t afford to go out.

A headhunter somewhere, a recruitment examiner somewhere, a reporter somewhere, and a management staff somewhere else were busily running among the test takers. They were looking for one thing.

Kang Hyunmoo.

The fact that Kang Hyunmoo rejected the Taeseong Clan’s offer spread widely among headhunters. It was a natural result as he immediately refused in the waiting room full of test takers.

“Wow… I think everyone would have joined the Taeseong clan if we had talked in the private room.”

It was already late. I thought it might be okay to say no confidently, but I wasn’t confident I wouldn’t hit even a single headhunter, who was running into the crowd and asked me to think about it one more time.

Hyunmoo hesitated, then turned on his cell phone again. As soon as he turned on his cell phone, he started getting text messages in a row.

“Hello? Kang Hyunmoo. At M&W Management, we are doing our best to connect Hunters with the best private companies. We promise world-class treatment… … .”

“I am the leader of the Hoenn Mama Clan. I want to meet you once… … .”

“I was amazed at the spirit that was enough to reject Taeseong. Our National Association of Competent Persons welcomes you at any time… … .”

“Where is your brother?”

“In our iron wall, we guarantee 100 million won in monthly income with top-notch treatment… … .”

still this mess Hyunmoo tried to turn it off again before his cell phone battery ran out. But then, a text message caught Hyunmoo’s attention.

“Where is your brother?”

It was Yumin. Before Hyunmoo could reply, another text message came from Yumin.

“You can’t come out because of that swarm of zombies?”

“I brought my car, so please come to the #4 entrance of the basement parking lot of the 3rd Gymnasium.”

I feel it sometimes, but Yu-min knew Hyunmoo surprisingly well. He was even more so considering that he had only recently known him.

He didn’t know if he had a great sense of consideration for others or if he simply had a good sense of humor.

Hyunmoo started moving his steps. But he couldn’t take a few steps and had to stop. She was standing in the middle of her hallway.

Red Butterfly.
