Civil Servant Hunter’s S-class Resignation Log

Chapter 91:



Chapter 91:

While my other initial novels have their share, none has contributed as much as this; I'm very grateful for you loyal readers. I haven't updated the adv chapters for some time, and I'm sure everyone's itching to know what other madness Seora will take part in. I'm now focusing on finishing shorter novels I'd been delaying since 2020 so I can focus better on finishing the longer ones when I'm free, and I promise you: I will finish Seora's adventures before the end of 2024. Once again thank you so much, and I'd hope you continue to enjoy our administrator's pettiness~!

“I moved…?”

Despite the change in location, the same puddle she had noticed in front of headquarters had now formed beneath the bridge. Could this be the result of teleportation? Such powers were extremely rare among individuals with unique abilities. But why would someone with teleportation abilities be after her?

“What do you think? Is this your first encounter with teleportation abilities?” asked the man and woman standing before her. While she had never seen the woman before, the man was the WDO employee who had approached her earlier.

Ah, so he’s the one with powers.

“It appears WDO has become quite careless. They didn’t even detect the presence of an undercover agent.”

“You’re surprisingly sharp. I was curious why someone like you, of a lower rank, was serving as an assistant to an L-class. Now I understand.”

Lower rank. It had been a while since she had heard that term, and it brought back unpleasant memories. Recalling the last time she heard those words, she felt a wave of unease.

“But it’s unfortunate for you. That wasn’t a shortcut to success; it was the path that would lead you to hell.”

“Hell?”

“That’s right. You’re going to die here today.”

Forced transportation, a basement, and two despicable individuals trying to establish their dominance—how could she not grasp the gravity of this situation?

‘What Kang Sejun said was true. I never imagined I’d actually be kidnapped.’

Instead of anger, Seora felt bewildered. Who could have commissioned this? Was it Russia? China? Or perhaps someone who simply didn’t like Headbang?

【Activates ‘Title—Contractee of the System Administrator’. You can access information on the person you desire.】

【Administrator: (ง•̀ω•́)ง✧】

The administrator’s message popped up at that moment, almost as if he was clearing his throat. Seora thought that perhaps she could find some clues by examining the information about the Awakened.

‘Come to think of it, even though I was kidnapped, Liza hasn’t taken any action.’

All Liza had sent was a surprised emoji before Seora was abducted. Considering the administrator’s tendency to be overly protective, this seemed strange. There was only one possibility left to consider.

This kidnapping incident somehow benefited Seora.

Although she wasn’t sure what advantage she could gain from it, she decided to follow the administrator’s instructions and start by checking the available information.

【The Awakened Information】

Name: John Clark (Class A)

Title: The Obsessed (Class A)

Specialty: Battle Mage

Contracted Entity: Tail that Defies the Flow of Water

Notable Information: A combatant belonging to the American underguild <Blackjack>

‘Underguild?’

The woman standing next to him was also a member of the same guild.

Underguilds were unregistered organizations that operated in the shadows, outside the purview of government oversight. While some were formed for the purpose of evading taxes, they also engaged in activities such as kidnapping, robbery, and even assassination.

‘But of all things, it had to be an American underguild.’

Underguilds involved in illicit activities were a menace to every country. They were like malignant cells that proved difficult to eradicate from the dark corners of society.

Yet, here was an American underguild that had successfully executed a kidnapping operation right in front of the WDO headquarters, in broad daylight. And their target happened to be a proxy for an L-class participant in the Labyrinth Raid.

‘Wow, this is a perfect opportunity to exploit their vulnerabilities.’

Seora contemplated whether she should exploit their weaknesses and demand substantial compensation for the damages. Surely, the U.S. government had valuable and rare items to offer in exchange.

【Administrator: (ノ*>∀<)ノ♡】

‘Hahaha, as expected, Elizabeth. My pride, my love!’

【Administrator: ٩(๑> 3 <)۶♥】

‘Hahahahaha!’

Seora and the administrator laughed, facing each other. To the kidnappers who were unaware of what was happening, she must have appeared truly bizarre.

“What’s happening? Why is she laughing so joyfully when she’s about to meet her end?”

“Is she so terrified that she’s gone insane? John, she’s just an F-class, right?”

“Yeah, that’s right. She must be. That’s why she couldn’t even use her powers when she was abducted. Look at her now. She can only laugh, but she’s completely defenseless. Her mana level is pathetic.”

Indeed, that’s the truth…

‘Why is she wearing such a genuinely happy expression?’

For them, killing an F-class individual was as simple as breaking a chick’s neck. So, Clay, the woman among them, was relishing in the satisfaction of success even before completing the entire task.

If they expanded to become an international guild, not limited to the United States but also dealing with China, they could amass even greater wealth.

Yes, that’s definitely the way to go…

‘But why does it feel so ominous?’

***

Immediately after Seora’s abduction, chaos erupted at the WDO headquarters. Reporters swarmed the scene, and news of the sudden kidnapping spread like wildfire.

“Seora!”

Their attention was momentarily diverted. They were in the midst of discussing plans for briefing upon their return to Korea.

No one had anticipated Seora being kidnapped in that fleeting moment.

“H-how…! Who could have done this!?”

“They have teleportation abilities. It’s the power of their Entity.” Kang Sejun, who managed to calm down the confused Gong Haeyeon, directed his gaze toward the floor. Every single puddle that had engulfed Seora had evaporated, not a single drop remaining.

A user with teleportation abilities who could manipulate water.

Coincidentally, Sejun knew someone fitting that description. A man whose Entity was a mermaid. Undoubtedly, he was connected to the American underguild.

“Wh-what should we do now?”

“Activate the location tracker. It’s waterproof, so even if they end up in water, we should still be able to track them.”

Ah! At Song Hanna’s command, Gong Haeyeon and Jeong Taeseok hastily activated the tracker. Association officials always wore location trackers as a precautionary measure during their duties. It was a way to quickly locate them in case they went missing in dungeons or conflicts. Truly a forward-thinking measure.

“President!” Yun Jaeheon, who had belatedly heard the news, rushed over with a pale face. “S-Seora…”

“Keep quiet. There are too many ears around,” Song Hanna warned him briefly, and he immediately sealed his lips. If it was revealed that the missing Yun Seora was his sister, the situation would spiral out of control. “We have the location tracker, so we’ll find her soon. Don’t worry.” However, even Song Hanna’s hand trembled as she spoke.

“Uhm, there’s nothing to worry about, right?”

In an atmosphere that felt like an erupting volcano on the verge of explosion, Seong Jarim cautiously raised her hand. The sensitive Song Hanna and Yun Jaeheon glared at her.

“What did you say?”

“Are you afraid that someone might question the legitimacy of your relationship with Seora, hence the death stare? Calm down and listen to me first. Have you all forgotten who Seora is?”

When Jarim pointed out that Seora had disguised herself as an F-class, Jeong Taeseok and Gong Haeyeon, who had been anxious, realized their oversight. They had been easily deceived and had momentarily forgotten about it.

“But still, it’s natural to have concerns.”

However, the hearts of Song Hanna and Yun Jaeheon, who were truly Seora’s family, held a different sentiment. Jarim could understand that, but…

‘There’s really nothing to worry about.’

However, she couldn’t disclose that Seora had a contract with the most powerful being in the world.

“Think about it. Even if it’s a sudden kidnapping, would Seora be the type to go down without a fight?”

“…”

“…”

Even the two individuals who seemed ready to tear the kidnappers apart couldn’t deny those words.

“I assure you, there’s definitely something suspicious going on.”

“Something suspicious? What would the kidnappers gain from this?”

“Well, only Seora would know that.” And perhaps the administrator.

The term “overprotection” was an understatement for the administrator, who possessed such immense power that even contract holders couldn’t match. Undoubtedly, the fate of those who kidnapped Seora would be truly dreadful.

“…Rather, we should be concerned for the kidnappers.” Even Kang Sejun quietly aligned himself with Seong Jarim.

Concerned? Who exactly were they worried about? In fact, even if an explosion were to occur somewhere soon, the two of them were confident that they wouldn’t be caught off guard.

***

“Who cares? We just need to kill her.”

Despite Seora’s sudden eerie laughter capturing their attention, John and Clay made an effort to dismiss the uneasiness and drew their guns. The magic guns used by Awakened left no traces, making them untraceable. They were perfect for discreet assassinations like this.

“I have no regrets about this. Consider it pure bad luck. But seriously, why would an L-class associate with someone as lowly ranked as you in the first place?”

“Aren’t you just a pitiful little thing, unlucky to the core?”

“If you want to blame someone, curse that Headbang who chose you as a representative. If it weren’t for them, you wouldn’t have to endure being kidnapped or facing death.”

“You’re the embodiment of misfortune.”

John and Clay exchanged glances and laughed.

Upon hearing their words, a surge of anger coursed through Seora, causing her nostrils to flare. Bad luck, misfortune, they say.

“Baek Huiwon, you’re the only one who doesn’t realize what these foreigners living across the sea already know.” Let’s have a meeting soon. If you insist that I have abundant luck, I will report your illegal residency.

“Has she truly gone mad? Just die already!”

John pulled the trigger first.

“You don’t need to protect me. I’ll handle it myself.”

Before the administrator could become angry, Seora acted swiftly. It was the perfect opportunity to test her upgraded skill.

“Mini-Me Cube.”

With a finger-gun gesture, a red cube materialized in the air and swiftly intercepted two bullets.

“A skill? You’re still acting like a Hunter even when you’re about to die, huh?”

“And how long do you think you can hold on?”

Believing it to be her final attempt at resistance, the two individuals laughed mockingly and resumed firing their guns.

Seora extended her fingers straight ahead. The enlarged cube effortlessly engulfed the bullets fired by the assailants.

Despite continuously firing until their arms grew numb from recoil, not a single bullet pierced through the cube. The two individuals helplessly extended their arms.

“What is this? How can this low-ranked girl…! How can she stop our bullets…!? How!?”

“Hold on a moment. I’ve seen that cube before. It’s definitely Headbang’s… Wait, what?”

Headbang?

On the other side of the cube, Seora, drenched from head to toe, sat on the floor. She wore a mischievous smile as her gaze met the frozen stares of the two assailants.

“Oh, you caught me.”
