Return To Level Up

Chapter 62

The interview went quickly.

Mostly, Yoon Kyung-min and Jeong A-yeon asked questions, and sometimes Hwang Soo-young pointed it out sharply.

But Kang Ha-jin was sitting still all the time, staring intently at the awakened person sitting in front of him.

In fact, Yoon Kyung-min was a bit embarrassed, puzzled, and disappointed, but it was a very complicated situation.

If that’s the case he couldn’t figure out why he said he would do the interview himself.

If I hadn’t called Hwang Soo-young and Jeong A-yeon, it would have been really bad.

It would be impossible to interview so many people on your own and to pick gemstones out of them, even after death.

However, thanks to the help of A-Yeon Jeong and Soo-Young Hwang, I was able to distinguish between those to be filtered out and those to be pulled out to some extent.

The interview went on like that, and we decided to take a break for a while.

The interviewees went to the place provided by the guild, ate and drank tea and snacks, and had time to relax slowly.

So we decided to take a break for about 30 minutes, and as soon as all the interviewers disappeared from the area, Hwang Soo-young looked at Kang Ha-jin and said,

“How could you not say a word?”

At those words, Jeong A-yeon and Yoon Kyung-min nodded their heads at the same time and looked at Kang Ha-jin.

As the three of them looked at Ha-jin Kang with one heart and one will, those eyes themselves became pressured.

But Kang Ha-jin didn’t even blink her eyes.

“The three of you are doing very well, so what do I do with a spoon on it? Can we just do it like this?”

“Yeah?”

Everyone had a silly expression on their face.

“Wow! Awesome shame!”

When Hwang Soo-young said that with her absurd eyes, Kang Ha-jin smiled.

Jeong Ain watched Kang Ha-jin quietly, and she felt something was not clear.

The Kang Ha-jin she knew was never a person who likes to waste time like this.

She was a person who did what she could do and left the things she couldn’t do neatly to someone who was good at it.

Kyungmin Un is a good example of this.

In the eyes of Jeong A-yeon, Yoon Kyung-min had too much authority for the guild’s manager.

Perhaps the Guardians would work without Hajin Kang, but without Kyungmin Un, the Guardians would never work properly.

If he had been himself, he would not have conferred power and authority on a person in that way, no matter what.

Because one person couldn’t handle it all, and he couldn’t stand the anxiety of what would happen if he had a different mind.

Anyway, did such a strong Ha-jin come out just to sit still?

It can never be.

Jeong-in looked at Ha-jin Kang with her deeper eyes.

“I’m looking forward to seeing what you are going to show again this time.”

Hwang Soo-young looked at her with a look on her face as to what Jeong-in said at her words, wondering what kind of nonsense this was again.

Then she was immediately startled.

“Am I the only one making a bad bitch right now?”

She looked at Yoon Kyung-min as she looked at Hwang Soo-young asking for her help. However, Yoon Kyung-min had already changed his stance a long time ago.

“I have always trusted and relied on Master.”

Hwang Soo-young was unable to continue her words, only clenching her mouth.

“Come on, don’t do this here and go have a cup of coffee.”

Hajin Kang stepped forward and cleared the atmosphere.

And after a while, the interview started again.

It went on like the first time for a while. Ha-jin Kang kept her mouth shut and just kept staring at her interviewers.

Then, at one point, her Kang Ha-jin’s eyes shone sharply.

The person in front named Won-jung Lee had poor documents.

The documents that the interviewers are checking now were documents pulled from the Awakening Management Office.

Originally, it was not possible, but through other routes, the documents kept only by the management office, which the Awakened could not verify, were also pulled.

He was an Awakener with low potential and low rank.

Basically, the rating given by the Awakening Management Office through special equipment is quite accurate.

The Awakening Rank is the standard for judging how quickly you can level up.

And the potential grade was related to the threshold level.

No one knows yet, but the limit level was the same at 1000.

However, for people with low potential, the speed of leveling up becomes slower as the level goes up.

In the end, even if you don’t reach the limit, your leveling up speed is too slow and you’re almost at the limit.

In fact, Ha-jin Kang before the return was also caught in it, so her level was relatively low compared to her abilities and skills.

In any case, unless there is a clear skill, it is difficult to draw from the guild if both the potential and the awakening level are low.

Such a person will become an abandoned awakening.

Except for Ha-jin Kang, all the interviewers judged that way.

I asked a few ceremonial questions and tried to wrap it up and move on to the next person.

And just as he was about to do that, Hajin Kang stepped out.

“Did you say Lee Won-jung?”

“Yeah? Yes. Yes.”

In fact, Lee Won-joong could quickly tell whether or not he would fall from here just by looking at the interviewer’s atmosphere. He usually found it difficult to even come to the interview due to his specifications.

Now he was getting tired and on the verge of falling out.

If he falls this time, he will either find a different career path, or work as a freelancer who is not part of a guild, although it is a bit risky.

Lee Won-joong looked at Kang Ha-jin with a nervous expression.

Maybe you’re sarcastic about why you’re taking away our precious time by filling out the job application.

I’ve actually heard such slander.

So, he was holding on to his mentality not to be shaken no matter what he said.

But a completely odd question came up.

“Isn’t your stomach sore these days?”

“Yes? He said, Myungchi?”

Lee Won-joong was confused again. I was wondering what I was going to do now, but something suddenly came to my mind, so I nodded his head.

“Ah… yes, but that’s for everyone…”

“Sometimes you feel like someone is hitting you in the back?”

“Yes? I don’t feel sore or sore in the back, but…”

I wanted to ask the other way around if I could be mistaken for going to the hospital, but I endured it because I was Eul and that person was Gap.

Hwang Soo-young, Jeong A-yeon, and Yoon Kyung-min also had a stunned look on Kang Ha-jin’s outrageous and absurd question.

Why the hell did this person want to be here?

However, Kang Ha-jin continued to ask the question without any regard for it.

“It’s not a pain, it’s a feeling. feeling. Don’t you just feel like that?”

“Yes? How do you feel?”

From then on, Lee Won-joong became a little more serious. Wouldn’t it be nice to hear a crazy person talking to others?

I think someone hit me But it doesn’t hurt, just a feeling?

“It seems there is.”

When Lee Won-joong couldn’t answer, Kang Ha-jin said so and laughed.

“Lee Won-jung, do you like water?”

“Yes? Are you drinking?”

“No, water.”

I’ve experienced a lot of people asking if I like alcohol in an interview. But it was the first time I said that I like water.

But the problem is…

“Yeah. I like.”

It was true that he really liked real water. I just didn’t like it enough.

When I go home, I always fill the bathtub with water and stay immersed in it for hours.

“Passed.”

“Yes?”

That yes was not said by one person. It was the four of you talking at the same time.

“Hey, Master, wait a minute…”

In the end, Yoon Kyung-min came out.

Yoon Kyung-min, who took Ha-jin Kang to a small room attached to the conference room, asked with an incomprehensible expression.

“Are you really going to choose Lee Won-jung?”

“Yeah.”

“Because of those questions earlier?”

“no.”

“Yes?”

Yoon Kyung-min was bewildered there. So what do you mean by all those nonsensical questions?

But Kang Ha-jin was sincere. Previously, that question was just a personal curiosity, and the real reason I chose Lee Won-jung was because of the information on the system that he checked with [Proudly Peeking].

Won-jung Lee had this title.

[Those who are loved by spirits][A title given to those whom the Spirit loves. It is loved by the water spirit, Letau. The spirit of water, whom I have been with since childhood, is waiting for my contract.]

Of course, the Awoken Administration cannot find out about that.

All the grades measured there are also wrong. The real grade is completely different from the moment you sign a contract with the water spirit.

[Letau][Water Spirit. I got my name from Lee Won-jung.]

The original spirit has no name. However, the water spirit Retau was named by Lee Won-jung and belonged to him. It was like signing a contract.

So, you just need to make a contract.

Yoon Kyung-min asked carefully.

“Then why did you choose?”

“You wondered why I was going to the interview?”

“Yeah.”

“It is for this purpose. I’m just trying to make sure it can’t be documented.

Yoon Kyung-min nodded his head for a moment.

He wasn’t the only one to just sit around. And I was kind of looking forward to it.

It’s about what kind of great things Ha-jin Kang just picks.

“Then I will classify Lee Won-joong separately.”

“Please. Now the interview is a bit more interesting.”

Hajin Kang was excited and went back to the interview room.

Yoon Kyung-min looked at Kang Ha-jin like that, shook his head and smiled.

“Well, it’s more appropriate because of that.”

* * *

By the end of the interview, Kang Ha-jin had chosen three people on the spot.

The rest were selected by interviewers as usual.

As soon as the interview was over, Ha-jin Kang headed to the place where the three people who were classified separately were waiting.

And Hwang Soo-young and Jeong A-yeon also followed Kang Ha-jin. I was very curious as to why they were chosen.

They were waiting in Ha-jin Kang’s office.

All three of them had nervous faces, but when they came here after hearing that they had passed, they still did not believe it.

All three of them have been through a lot.

It was very stressful to be awakened but to no avail.

I used to think that if I hadn’t awakened, I might have lived a happier life.

So, even if I told you to go back that it was all a joke, you could do it.

It will hurt a little more than before, though.

As I was waiting like that, all of a sudden, the door swung open.

When I looked up in amazement, the interviewers I had been interviewing before were rushing in.

Everyone hurriedly bowed and greeted each other.

“Come on, everyone, sit down. Oh, did you write our contract?”

“Oh, no.”

“Director Yoon, do you have a contract?”

“Yeah. Here it is.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The three of them signed the contract with bewildered expressions.

“Then… are we really becoming members of the Guardian’s guild now?”

“Yeah. It will be difficult if you mess up later. Because the penalty was set very high.”

“It will never happen! Thank you!”

All three of them bowed their backs over and over again. But at the same time, I was a little worried.

What the hell are they going to do with a useless Awoken like them? You’re not trying to use it as a test object, are you?

I had all sorts of thoughts.

“Now, let’s start with Wonjoong Lee. Would you like to come this way?”

“Yes? me, me?”

Lee Won-joong crouched and approached Kang Ha-jin.

He is a piece of gold that cannot be given if not now.

Usually, the elemental becomes a contract naturally at the same time as awakening. But not all spirits were like that.

This means that Lee Won-joong is not a very special case. Like the other two people here.

The reason is that the spirit is powerful.

The contract was blocked because the spirit’s power could not pass through the narrow magic passage.

The reason why my stomach hurts is because of the power of the spirit, and the reason I feel like hitting the back of my head is because the stuffed spirit really hit the back of my head.

There are two ways for this spirit to make a contract.

One is to widen the magic passage through steady training.

When it reaches a certain level, a contract with the spirit is made naturally.

And the other is what Hajin Kang is doing now.

“Come on, let’s begin. You just have to let yourself be comfortable.”

Kang Ha-jin said so and put his palm on Lee Won-jung’s myeongchi.

And through attribute assignment, a water attribute passageway was carefully opened in Lee Won-jung’s Myungchi.

It was like adding one more lane temporarily.

Lee Won-joong’s eyes became as bright as a candle.

“Uh, huh?”

Once the contract is made, it is natural to learn about the spirits.

Lee Won-joong became a spirit warrior.

As soon as the contract was signed, Kang Ha-jin lifted his hand and said.

“You mustn’t overdo it yet. Don’t forget that this is just the beginning, and communicate with the spirits often.”

If you do that, the magic channel will naturally grow due to the power of the spirit.

The advantage of this method is that the training itself is communication with the spirit, so when it is completed, the spirit’s power can be used much better.

“It would probably be a good way to train to show the spirits.”

As soon as Ha-jin Kang’s words fell, a cat made of water appeared on Won-jung Lee’s shoulder.

Everyone looked at the water cat with a captivating expression while rubbing its cheeks.

And sparks lit up in the eyes of the remaining two successful candidates.

The two looked at Ha-jin Kang with earnest eyes. My heart was beating so fast that I felt like I could break my ribs and pop out at the thought that they too could get that kind of power.

That day, the Guardians obtained the Spirits of Water, Wind, and Earth.

They could not be included in the current force, but in the future, they were talented people who could exert more power than any other spirits.
