Producer Who Gets Eaten After 100 Days

Chapter 4

A bad start (4)

“Mr. Bang Hanna… . Is shielding your specialty?”

“you’re right!”

While holding a small shield, I glanced at Bang Han-na, who answered energetically.

Bright gold hair that naturally fell down to her chest, slightly drooping eyes, and rare green eyes.

With a simple and sad appearance, she had a rather large stature, unlike her delicate appearance… .

Despite the fact that she was wearing a flattering dress that covered her body, her slightly exposed body was quite surprising.

‘I think it’s bigger than Yura… .’

It felt similar to Hong Yu-ra, who is known for her unrealistic body shape, so you can only imagine how substantial it is.

“… … .”

I quietly took my eyes off her, and looked over her resume once more.

‘Visiting… . 21 years old… . After graduating from the academy, attending Seoul National University… . ‘

It was written that Bang Han-na was a college student who was attending a university in the midst of it, and received higher education at an educational institution compulsory for ability, collectively called the ‘academy’.

“Are you from the academy?”

“yes! I graduated from the Seoul branch!”

He was my direct junior, who went to the same place as me.

‘Well, not one or two graduates from Seoul… .’

I ignored her, and put down my pen for a detailed interview and looked at her.

“Well… .”

In fact, the shield technique itself is not such a rare skill.

There are often people who use swords, spears, or even magic and shields at the same time, and there are hunters who only made a name for themselves with shield skills.

However.

I had never seen a case where she only used a shield like her.

“Even though I’ve seen them do shield art, it’s quite unfamiliar to only use shields. Are there any special advantages?”

“yes!”

Hanna Bang answered my questions right away as if they had expected them.

“You can focus on tanking!”

“… Speaking of tanking… ?”

“You can only focus on blocking, so you can block more!”

I was a little embarrassed by her so dignified words and my eyes widened, unconsciously stroking my chin and suggesting a question.

“Are you confident in tanking?”

“yes!”

Hanna Bang has made eye contact with my eyes and proudly revealed her aspirations.

“Even if I die, I am determined to protect the team!”

‘Five… .’

I could see that her determination was sincere.

Human eyes don’t lie, so when you’re anxious, they’re clouded, and when you’re nervous, they shake.

But Hanna Bang’s eyes were shining straight.

And above all… .

Her special ability to deal only with shields made her sincerity even brighter.

‘They say that the power follows the master… .’

Although it is a setting of a little-known ‘strongest player’, the ability is usually awakened according to the user’s tendency.

The fact that Hanna Bang has no other specialties and can only use shield skills… .

‘It means that he is altruistic and devoted.’

after the first interview.

Of the 52 candidates, 20 who were below the level went home immediately, and the remaining 32 candidates went to the final test, the actual test.

Junhyung Kim and I headed to the hunter training center that we rented near the city hall with Gapkyu Choi, another manager who joined in the middle… .

“Hey… . I really never dreamed that our Junhyung would be close with such a wonderful person.”

I wonder if there is something I want, Gap-gyu Choi has been arguing with me, using respectful words to me, who is a long time younger than me.

“If you are the general producer of Queens… . Aren’t you a member of the Heavenly Flower Guild?”

“you’re right.”

“scent… . Affiliated with the Cheonhwa Group, the Cheonhwa Guild! It really stands out from the name! haha!”

Choi Gap-gyu was a person who did not hide his greed.

No, it didn’t seem like he had any intention of hiding it from the beginning.

“This is also a relationship, how about a drink after work today?”

It is usually for an impure reason that these people recommend a drink.

There’s no need to tie it up.

“Thank you for your words, but I have some work to do in the evening, so it will be difficult this time.”

“ah… . You’re going to be very busy, so that’s fine. Then, see you next time.”

Did you just think of me? Gap-gyu Choi resigned more easily than expected and promised the following.

“Go this way.”

After arriving at the training camp, the actual test started immediately.

“As previously announced, the real-world tests are conducted in a mock training format. It will be conducted one by one, and the results will be announced at a later date, so those who have completed the test may return immediately.”

The actual test is conducted as a simulated training against a training robot according to each skill.

The training robot, which has been greatly improved in recent years, is very similar to the monster of its class, and is one of the favorite trainings of many hunter teams.

Chaeeng-! Chae-ae-!

Through the transparent glass window, a candidate’s sword and a training robot collide.

Chae Aeeng–! Chae Ae Aeeng—!

The robot, which had been counterattacking little by little, began to slow down at her onslaught,

“Isn’t the attack pretty sharp?”

“There is a high possibility that I will be promoted to C-class later.”

Gap-gyu Choi and Jun-hyung Kim left a fairly generous evaluation, as if they saw potential in her.

But… .

‘It’s thin to wield. I have a bad habit.’

To me, it just seemed so inadequate.

It’s not because I’m the producer of Queens, who is called the strongest in the world, but she really didn’t show any potential.

Because [the jealous one], my ability, does not lie.

[ Name: Jimin Kim / Potential Rank: D / Ability: Basic Swordsmanship Lv2 ]

Her current rank is D rank.

Having already reached the highest rank, she had no room for further growth.

swish- swish-

I quietly wrote an X on the evaluation sheet, meaning I was eliminated, and quietly waited for the next turn to come.

And after a while.

Finally, it was her turn.

‘I’m here.’

It was Hanna Bang’s turn, a life of a shield-only road.

Unlike the previous interview, Bang Han-na, who changed into a combat suit made of a material that sticks to the body, entered the training booth with a stiff gait, as if slightly nervous, and stood in front of the robot, clutching her shield tightly.

Then he put his hands together in front of his big chest and took a deep breath… .

Kuk-!

Without hesitation, he stepped on the button protruding from his foot, and activated the training robot.

hey hey-

The robot, which has been transformed into a quadrupedal monster according to its characteristics, makes a sound and raises its head.

‘How good are you… .’

Training for defense like shield art is very simple compared to other specialties.

All you have to do is block your opponent’s attack.

Skills vary depending on how effectively you can block them.

Keying… Ta-ah—!

The robot runs towards Hanna Bang.

She paused for a moment, then quickly raised her shield to block the robot’s front paws.

Kaan–!

A roar emanating from the booth.

As I watched her closely, I was slightly amazed at the appearance of Hanna Bang, who was not pushed at all.

aa aan

The robot even tried sharp attacks once according to Hanna Bang’s level, and Hanna Bang blocked them all and showed outstanding skills that did not fit the rank.

“I can’t even counterattack.”

“Uh… .”

However, Choi Gap-gyu and Kim Jun-hyung did not seem to like them very much, and showed a lukewarm reaction.

Kaan—! aan

After exchanging a few workshops like that, the training was over.

“Mr. Hanna Bang. Thank you. We will inform you of the results later.”

“thank you!”

After Hanna’s turn is over.

While the next candidate was preparing for the test, Choi Gap-gyu talked about his evaluation of Han-na’s visit.

“It will be difficult for a kid who just left to live as a hunter. It doesn’t look bad though… , I’m not going to starve to death.”

As Kim Jun-hyung did not deny Choi Gap-gyu’s words much and shed a bitter smile, Choi Gap-gyu pulled his head out and asked me for an evaluation.

“How are you?”

“I do not know… .”

To be honest, Hanna Bang’s skills were the best among the candidates gathered here.

It wasn’t polished, but it didn’t show any bad habits, and above all else, it had the most important element as a tank that had to fight at the forefront.

not just running away.

Even if the opponent was a training robot, Hanna Bang showed that she did not back down at all.

This is the part that many people usually overlook, but this is the most basic element and the most important element as a tank.

Tanks are usually tasked with attracting the attention of monsters.

The tactics that can be deployed depend on the tank’s ability to hold on, but what if you’re afraid that the tank will take the lead?

In that sense, Hanna Bang is a very suitable person for a tanker.

“I looked good. I hope you pass.”

“… yes?”

“Joe, did you like it?”

I drew an O on the evaluation paper to signify pass.

Then the two of them reacted in disbelief and looked at me blankly… .

In fact, there was another reason besides her ability to think positively about Hanna.

[ Name: Hanna Bang / Potential Rank: A / Ability: Basic Shield Skill Lv1 ]

Hanna Bang’s potential rank, confirmed by my abilities, is a whopping A rank.

Even the shield skill level is only 1.

The fact that the level is only 1 means that you actually only know how to hold a shield, but it is literally near impossible for a beginner who barely holds a handle to deal with a D-class monster.

However.

Hanna Bang received all the attacks of the robot right in front of my eyes.

With a shield that doesn’t suit him, without any special skills.

This means that she simply withstood the attack… .

It means that it belongs to my favorite class, the ‘musculoskeletal’.

After all the interviews are over, simply finish the evaluation of the successful candidates.

“If possible, go with me.”

“sorry. There is still work to be done, so I think we should go right away.”

“… uh… . Then there’s nothing you can do… .”

“The next time you have a chance, let’s have dinner together. You did a great job today. Junhyung, I’ll go first.”

“Good job. I’ll contact you.”

I broke up with the two of them, and on my way home… .
