Producer Who Gets Eaten After 100 Days

Chapter 16

Persuasion (1)

After training as usual.

When I received a request for an interview from Jung Soo-in, I heard from her that it was like a clearing.

“Suddenly leaving the team! What does that mean?”

“that is… .”

Jung Soo-in, who was more courageous than anyone else, explained what had happened in the past with a lot of grass dead unlike usual.

I felt that my talent was infinitely lacking compared to other team members, and no matter how much I practiced, my skills didn’t seem to improve.

“Even if I were there, I think it would only cause trouble to everyone… . I think it would be right to leave as soon as possible.”

“Soo-in… .”

“sorry. Producer. You cared so much… .”

Jung Soo-in was going through the slump that often comes to low-ranking hunters.

He only felt that his skills were insufficient, and he felt skeptical about the present that does not improve and the uncertain future.

‘I can’t let it go like this.’

In order to regain Jung Soo-in’s heart, I talked about the possibility like the case of Han-na’s visit earlier.

“Soo-in. The rate of growth varies from person to person, so you may feel that you are lacking right now. But it never is. You are not a hat person. No talent! I’ll bet. I was the one who chose you out of so many candidates.”

Then Jung Soo-in looked at me with eyes that seemed to have resigned.

Then, in a calm tone, he asked a question.

“From the producer, do you think I can become an A?”

Class A.

I was speechless at that one word.

The potential of Jung Soo-in, which I read with my abilities, is up to B rank.

If you grow to the limit and accumulate experience points, you will be able to achieve a level equivalent to an A rank.

However… .

A rank and B rank belong to a completely different dimension.

No matter how hard I try, Jung Soo-in cannot be ranked A.

“… … .”

I couldn’t bear to lie, so I looked at her quietly, sparing the answer.

As if he had already expected it, Jung Soo-in raised the corners of his mouth without strength and spoke calmly.

“My parents run a small restaurant in their hometown. They said it was hard these days, probably because they don’t have enough hands and because they’re old, so I’m going to go back to my hometown right now.”

I could tell that she was already mentally prepared.

“… okay… .”

Then I decided to give up trying to persuade any more.

Even if the story gets longer, it’s because I and she are only suffering.

“… You run a restaurant? Are you planning to take over?”

“I think we should think about it slowly.”

“… okay. Think well. If you need anything, please contact me.”

Taking a deep sigh in regret, I gently shook her hand and bid her farewell.

“It’s been a lot of hard work.”

In the future, a hunter named Jung Soo-in will not be active.

She held hands as bravely as when she first met me someday,

“thank you. Producer.”

accepted my last goodbye.

“yes!? Are you Suin!?”

“What!?”

The next day, when they heard the news of Jung Soo-in, Han Gyu-ri and Kim Jun-hyung showed an unbelievable reaction.

“why? What the hell is going on!?”

“Explain it properly! Why did Suin leave the team?”

I also told them the story I had with Jung Soo-in.

She felt very proud of her talent and felt deeply skeptical about the life of the Hunter team.

“He cleared his mind to the point of not being persuaded. I couldn’t hold on to it any longer.”

“Oh my gosh… .”

“It’s a big deal… .”

While the two felt sorry for Jung Soo-in’s situation, they began to worry about the survival of the team.

“What should I do? If there are not enough team members, the team cannot be registered… !”

“Nobody can put it in… .”

A hunter team can be officially recognized when at least three team members are registered.

Among them, teams with no activity history are classified as ‘temporary teams’.

A temporary team can be maintained for a short period of time for only one week.

If you can’t register a team member within a week, and you can’t even keep a temporary team… .

Team Seoul City Hall’s project itself will be judged unsustainable, Bang Han-na and Kim Na-rae will lose their team, and it is highly likely that Han Gyu-ri and Kim Jun-hyung will be held responsible.

‘One o’clock is urgent.’

After explaining the situation like that, I asked him to take over the training of the rest of the team while I was looking for a new team member.

“… yes?”

“Are you going to scout?”

“It’s faster for me to run on my feet than to leave it to two people.”

Fortunately, I have the ability to read other people’s abilities.

I have a sufficient budget and I have full control of the team, so I can recruit new team members without any restrictions.

‘This could rather be an opportunity.’

“Anyway, I’m leaving right away, so I’ll just ask for one week. Explain it well to the kids. Gyuri-san, please.”

“Ugh… .”

At that time, I was so busy packing my things that I was about to leave the office.

“Do Ji-hyuk.”

Junhyung Kim grabbed me and asked me in a very serious tone.

“… Can you do it?”

He asked the question as the head of the team Seoul City Hall.

“It’s only been a week. If you don’t meet the deadline… , I really don’t know what will happen.”

I glanced at Han Gyu-ri with an anxious expression over his shoulder, and made eye contact with Kim Jun-hyung again and answered softly.

“You have to do it.”

At first glance, it sounded irresponsible, but… .

“… okay. I believe only in you.”

Kim Jun-hyung seemed to have accepted my will, patted his shoulder and gave me strength.

It’s already been 5 days since I started looking for new team members.

‘ruined.’

I still haven’t been able to find a new team member.

At first I thought it would be easy to find… .

It was a complete mistake.

There was no shortage of candidates.

Every ‘Rank Measurement Week’ held in the first week of every month, rookies who have just awakened their abilities and hunters who have renewed their ranks pour out.

In an era where 3 out of 10 people are talented, it is absurd to say that there are no people to choose from.

Since the ranking week has already passed, you can’t snatch the fresh talent, but there are plenty of places where you can find candidates.

Hunter training center, hunter training center, academy, etc… .

In addition to the places that scouts usually go to, you can also find candidates on the street if you use your abilities.

the problem is… .

‘I don’t like anyone.’

It wasn’t easy to find someone who met my criteria.

What our team needs right now is the main dealer position.

Since it is a women’s team, it must be a woman, and it must be a person with special abilities for attacking work.

Most of the candidates have already been filtered out by this alone, but since we are looking for someone with at least a B rank or higher, the probability has almost reached the worst.

To be honest, I thought for a while whether I could fill the number of heads in moderation after seeing a slight compromise on the conditions, but… .

Even if it was a supporter position, he could never concede as much as a main dealer position.

“ha… .”

I felt a stiff headache from wandering around all kinds of places and using my abilities at random, so I stopped by a nearby cafe to take a break.

‘Where are we going now? .’

right then

Woo-Woo-Woo-Woah-

The cell phone placed on the table began to ring.

[ Hunter High School 36th Junhyung Kim ]

It was Kim Junhyung.

“… … .”

I checked the clock floating in the corner of the screen that it was still training time, and I quietly answered the call, knowing that he had called to remind me.

“… hello… .”

By the way.

[You haven’t found a team member yet? ]

“… It’s not easy.”

[Then, go to Chuncheon. ]

“… uh?”

Kim Jun-hyung delivered unexpected news.

[An official notice appeared in Chuncheon that a rank measurement schedule was set. It starts at 4 p.m., so go check it out. ]

It was a story that a rank measurement schedule was suddenly set.

‘You’ve been pulled!’

If there are a lot of people during the week of ranking measurement, in preparation for congestion, it is sometimes carried out by slightly pulling the reservations for those who have made reservations, but it seems that today was that day.

“Thank you! I’ll go right away!”

Chuncheon’s rank measuring station arrived straight away with a car.

Murmur- murmur-

As if the rumors had already spread, from the parking lot, there were several people who seemed to belong to various guilds.

‘There are a lot of competitors.’

The biggest reason for the crowd during Rank Measurement Week is by far the real-time scouting.

The number of newly measured ranks is displayed on the electronic signboard outside the measuring station each time, but since it is set to measure one person at a time, there is virtually no choice but to know who is in which rank.

As a producer, I rarely come here, but… .

The measurement station was a place where scouts to recruit new recruits and guild members to protect their hunters were fighting.

‘Is it a slow start?’

I mingled with the others and took a proper seat at the exit of the measuring station.

And then, I was leaving feedback on the training video of Hanna Han and Na-rae Kim sent by Gyuri Han… .

“Mr. Jihyuk!”

Someone was pretending to know.

“Long time no see!”

It was Kim Bum-jae, a scout belonging to the Cheonhwa Guild.

‘This man has also come.’

Kim Bum-jae had a tendency to look down on people for a long time, so he was a person I didn’t like very much.

“How are you? How did you change your affiliation and your impression has improved!”

He gave me a handshake with the nuance of knowing my news, and I shook his hand and calmly returned my greeting.

“Long time no see. I still wear expensive suits.”

Then, Kim Bum-jae raised the corner of his mouth and patted his high-quality jacket as if it were purple.

“The first impression of anything is important, shouldn’t you wear it to suit your income?”

Kim Bum-jae, a well-known scout, is making quite a bit of money.

Of course, it was far below my salary.

“I do not know… . Wearing nice clothes doesn’t make you a lot of money, right?”

“haha! Yes!”

Kim Bum-jae, who licked the corners of his mouth and burst into a dry smile, gently glanced at me up and down and asked a question.

“therefore… . Producer, what are you doing here?”

“I came here to experience scouting. This is usually not difficult.”

“… Are you a scout?”

At that time, Kim Bum-jae asked with a puzzled expression on the story of scouting himself.

Murmur-

At the same time, the exit of the measuring station opened and people who finished the measurement started to come out,

Kim Bum-jae and I exchanged empty words with each other and then sat down separately.

“It has begun. Anyway, it was nice to meet you.”

“Me too. I hope to see you again soon.”

That’s how the fight finally started.

I checked the status quo while looking at the electric sign… .

[ S : 0 A : 0 B : 0 C : 3 D : 9 E : 9 F : 10 ]

Currently, no one from S-class to B-class has come out yet, and whenever a high-ranking C-class person comes out, scouts are rushing in.

“This is the CG Guild! on our side… !”

“If you come to our Gangjin guild… !”

“This is the Platinum Guild! sure… !”

Some of them already had a guild they belonged to… .

“Somebody say that the guild is hitting someone!”

“What? Listen!? You bastard, where do you belong!”

There were even physical fights between members of the original guild and scouts belonging to other agencies.

‘It’s a bitch.’

After leaving so many E-Class and F-Class, people flocked to the sparsely falling C-Class, and fierce competition ensued.

[ S : 0 A : 0 B : 1 C : 5 D : 14 E : 22 F : 20 ]

Finally, the number of B-class talents made a difference.

Murmur- murmur-

The B-rank ability that caused a stir was a young woman, but, as it turns out, almost all guilds rushed at her.

“hello! In our guild… !”

“hello! This is the Sejin Guild!”

“This is Jimin Han, the chief scout of the Shining Guild! on our side… .!”

She became a star in an instant, as if she had been waiting, she was handed a single business card and escaped the crowd.

“Sheesh, is this the Heavenly Guild again?”

“There are things that have Queens, and there are too many greedy things.”

It was none other than the business card of the Heavenly Flower Guild.

“… … .”

Kim Bum-jae, who had recruited a woman who was probably the highest grade, glanced at me, smiled satisfactorily, and leisurely left the measurement station… .

Actually, I wasn’t really interested in her.

Because the growth of the woman Kim Bum-jae took has already reached its limit.

‘The sweet water is already gone.’

Even that is at the level of an early B-class, so it can be said that it is not a very good recruitment.

“There are no young talents today.”

“So. If I go empty-handed today, I’d be really, really broken… .”

After such a commotion passed, the overheated atmosphere also reached a state of lull.

At that time, most of the scouts were mourning and staring blankly at the billboards.

Ji Yi-ing

The door opened and a woman started walking out.

“This time, it’s F-class.”

“Ehh… .”
