Chapter 159: Chapter 159

There were several people here who recognized ’Seo Jio Hunter’.

– It’s Seo Jio Hunter

– Seo Jio Hunter ,crying, Are you finally showing your face

– Our Hunter is a public figure now anyway so there

They were civilians who had received help during the S-Class Dungeon ’Temple of the Deep Sea’ incident.

– Is that Hunter’s name Seo Jio?

↳ Yesyesyesyesyes He said he was a Tamer back then too

– OP come check if this is right

– Is it right to just post that one beauty which can ruin a nation picture

↳ If you’re gonna share, share everything

– Hey why isn’t anything coming up when I search

– Unofficial Hunters anyway act like they’ll die if their faces get known....

– Seo Jio Hunter belongs to The Collectors, is there no reaction from them

↳ Ah The Collectors??? The Collectors????

↳ ?? That handsome handsome man is from The Collectors??

↳ Did Guild Leader Bisabeol’s taste change

↳ No no only his face might be sunshine

↳ How can that smile not be sunshine emanating from his soul

– Why is everyone making a fuss over someone else’s face

– The level of Korean citizens, sucking up to anyone with a pretty face ㅉㅉ

↳ Swhocares

And soon.

Sunshine Necromancy Hunter’s info is up on The Collectors

Title says it all

’Seo Jio Hunter’s’ personal information was officially posted on The Collectors’ homepage.

– What’s a Sunshine Necromancy Hunter?

↳ OP They said he’s a sunshine handsome man but he’s the Hunter who caused the ghost commotion, so I had nothing to say

↳ It’s not that you had nothing to say, looks like you had too much

↳ Not Descent but Necromancy, that’s weirdly funny

↳ SunshineNecromancyHunter

↳ Ah stop giving our Hunter weird names

↳↳ ?What the, they’re nuts

↳↳ Since when was he ’our Hunter’

People who read the post soon rushed to The Collectors’ homepage and confirmed that the poster’s words were true.

This was because a photo as clear as that of the previous certified person, Choi Ra-on, had been uploaded.

And some people were baffled.

– Hey but why are they only telling us this much

– It’s my first time fangirling a Hunter, is it normally like this

↳ It’s not;;

↳ Ignore the comment above, Hunters are usually stingy with their info

↳ That’s right, it’s common for Hunters not to reveal personal info

This was because the only information provided was his name, height, and age, but since it was a tradition for Korean Hunters to not reveal personal information, most people understood and moved on.

However, there were people who were excited.

Does this mean we can openly fangirl now?

Did the country just acknowledge my fangirling??

It was mannered to avoid bothering unofficial Hunters or underground-type Hunters as much as possible, but that line was bound to collapse quickly if official activities became frequent.

Those who had been watching Seo Jio since the ’Temple of the Deep Sea’ rejoiced.

Among them was Choi Ra-on, who had been teased all day at work as the ’Thump Woman’.

’A face like this won’t come again in my lifetime.’

Having returned home from work, she twitched her itching hands.

"A fan cafe... If I make a fan cafe... I can get photos and schedules shared...."

What was on Choi Ra-on’s worn-out computer screen was a two-shot photo taken with Seo Jio Hunter.

It was a scene that looked quite gloomy late at night, but she was rather desperate.

’...A face like this is rare, but a personality like this with a face like this is even rarer.’

The reason Korea managed to maintain public order wasn’t because Koreans were inherently good, but because all sorts of strict laws and novel punishments made them good; thus, it was an era where the average morality was so low that the objectification of humans was taken for granted.

As such, the personalities of public figures who could be the target of someone’s fangirling were not the same as before the Great Catastrophe.

Especially for Hunters, it was a world where if they were popular enough, they could kill someone in broad daylight and people would just say ’It happens’ and move on.

Of course, there were many Hunters who endured their rotten personalities and continued to act kind and gentle for the sake of that popularity, but Choi Ra-on was confident.

’I know a bit about face reading, and this well is the real deal.... He’s real clear water, barely dragged up from deep underground.’

Her intuition, honed from fangirling numerous celebrities and Hunters, was telling her.

This was an exclusive scoop she couldn’t miss.

A Natural Monument.

There was even a sort of sense of duty stemming from it.

’Maybe my encounter with Hunter that day was actually fate.’

It was a 100% pure handmade destiny crafted by Jio himself, but Choi Ra-on didn’t realize that.

The platinum blond hair on the screen, perhaps because it was taken under a yellow streetlight, almost looked like silver hair.

The wavy hair looked as soft as silk, and the smile, which radiated warmth just by looking at it, truly resembled the sunshine.

"Such a fucking insane face...."

Choi Ra-on, who had seen him up close, recalled that moment.

The cool atmosphere that seemed to carry the scent of a forest, and the refreshing smile of a fine man when he saw her off at the end.

’Right, this is the core of it.’

What was hidden inside Seo Jio Hunter, whom she thought was a gentle priest, was none other than the refreshing citrus scent of a sports team captain.

"Ha."

In an already harsh life, one needed light and salt to endure it.

’My last light and salt went to rock bottom after a huge personality controversy.’

Because Hunters had to live such rough lives, quite a few of them found it difficult to avoid personality controversies.

Most cases were exaggerated, but it couldn’t be helped that their hearts grew weary from being the subject of gossip.

’I know I’m pickier than other people... but what can I do when my heart grows cold the moment I’m disappointed by my baby’s personality.’

Choi Ra-on was the type of person whose affection rapidly cooled if she saw a flaw in the personality of ’my baby’ she believed in.

For instance, if she saw them bullying someone else, or killing someone for a trivial reason.

Before the Great Catastrophe, it was absurd for even ordinary people, let alone public figures, to commit such acts, but this was the era after the Great Catastrophe.

The moral standards Choi Ra-on expected were on the stricter side.

"...No, it’s not like I committed a sin. Right? A person can be a little picky."

As a result, Choi Ra-on naturally had a large number of targets she had once fangirled over. This was because her heart left the moment she saw a flaw in their personality.

Her last light and salt had even been a case taken away by none other than the Black Cape.

While the majority of fans still liked and waited for such a guy, Choi Ra-on, no matter what, couldn’t bring herself to stand a motherfucker certified by a monster that liked good people and hated bad people.

"..."

Choi Ra-on, who was staring intently at the computer screen as if to bore holes in it, muttered quietly.

"...But with a face like this...."

Even if his personality had some flaws, she felt like she’d just find it thrilling and let it go.

"...Right, how hard must it be living as a Hunter. Things like that can happen when you live."

Most fans whose main focus was fangirling Hunters didn’t have their hearts cool just because of a few controversies.

In truth, Choi Ra-on was an unusual case.

This was because, due to the nature of the Hunter profession, a person couldn’t always use nice words and perform nice actions.

However, the limit to Choi Ra-on’s tolerance for ’my baby’s’ flaws lay in the target’s face and conduct.

To be precise, it was mostly in the face.

’In that sense....’

She felt she wouldn’t be able to let go of this light and salt even if 66 personality controversies erupted in a row.

With this face, having such a personality would just mean the gods were being fair.

’But what if his personality is also excellent?’

That would be a Natural Monument that would never come again.

"I wish some new content would drop soon."

In front of the monitor, Choi Ra-on smiled warmly.

***

Meanwhile, Ju-hyeon, who had taken over the duties, was a little flustered.

"Are you really handing over the work to me at this particular time?"

"I’m busy enough handling just the ’Black Cape’. And as you know, ’Mr. Seo Jio’ is your responsibility, Mr.Ju-hyeon."

"The Collectors started this mess, why are you doing this to me?"

"If you were part of The Collectors, you would have been even busier than this. It’s a shame."

"No, Mr. Yu Seong-un."

"It can’t be helped."

Yu Seong-un expressed his regrets as he handed over documents detailing reactions from various communities.

"I stepped in this time because this task required major adjustments, but from now on, when ’Seo Jio Hunter’ conducts external activities, you must be by his side, Mr.Ju-hyeon."

"Because a Hunter and a Manager must be tied together as a set. I know that, but...."

"It seems you learned well from the Secretary’s office and as you know, this is the time when there’s the most buzz, and when attention is most focused and I am an unofficial underground Hunter."

An unofficial Hunter refers to a Hunter who does not publicly reveal their identity, and an underground-type Hunter refers to a Hunter who does not operate publicly.

"Someone like me cannot be marked as ’Seo Jio Hunter’s’ official manager."

He already had no idea how much work there was to do.

"If that really happens, I’ll have no choice but to become a sleepless human."

"...Just how much work do you do?"

"Please remember that the more competent a Hunter is, the more they are ground down."

"But I’m a Non-Awakener."

"Seo Jio Hunter isn’t."

"Ah."

"The religious orders seem very interesting too.... Collaboration requests will start flooding in soon."

Work comes to high-profile Hunters even if they just stay still.

"As you know, Mr.Ju-hyeon."

"Yes, I learned that, of course."

Since he could be the ’face’, broadcast stations might contact him, and as one of the few Tamers in the country had newly appeared, requests for collaborative conquests might come in to verify his abilities.

Yu Seong-un laughed awkwardly.

"The Secretary’s office will take care of cutting off the trivial contacts. They’ll handle matters not even worth relaying to Seo Jio Hunter, but you will have to deliver the rest yourself, Mr.Ju-hyeon."

At that, Ju-hyeon asked.

"I’ve been wondering, how am I supposed to go find ’Seo Jio Hunter’...?"

"I have already finished discussing that part with Jio."

"Could I hear what exactly you finished discussing?"

"That Jio will stop by our apartment hallway at 12 o’clock sharp every day...."

"..."

Ju-hyeon smiled in resignation.

"Guild Leader Bisabeol has finally decided to dispose of me, I see."

"Noo, it’s not like that, please calm down. It ended up this way for a reason."

"I would very much like to hear that story."

"In the first place, humans have no way of contacting Jio."

It would be ridiculous for a mere human to contact a god whenever they wanted.

"To explain it a bit more simply, we can’t install a phone in Jio’s house."

"That is true. It would be a completely different dimension."

"That’s why I also used to meet Jio at a set time."

Around 4 AM.

"Other than that, if Jio wanted to summon me, I would receive a letter and travel that way."

"I receive letters too, but I can’t interpret them, and above all, I don’t think I can go to The Collectors’ Gallery...."

"It would be difficult for you, a Non-Awakener, to withstand the aura of the 5th basement floor Gallery."

"So, did you arrange for Mr. Jio to come here instead?"

Ju-hyeon asked with his characteristic affable smile.

"It’s not that Guild Leader hasn’t given up on his roommate dream?"

"Regarding that part, I truly have no excuse."

Yu Seong-un smiled bitterly.

"I’m in Unit 1, you’re in Unit 2, and Jio is in the hallway between us... Perfect."

"Is it really okay for The Collectors to occupy the 46th floor like this?"

"We have already purchased all the residences on the 46th floor, so there are no legal issues."

"But now an evil god or a monster is entering that multi-unit housing."

"Jio always went anywhere he pleased. The law can’t do anything about that."

"Ah, that’s not wrong, but ah."

Ju-hyeon felt a little frustrated.

"I feel like I’ve become responsible for part of the world’s overthrow...."

"It could be an overthrow in a good way."

"You’re not denying the ’overthrow’ part itself."

"It’s just a possibility, it might not be realized, so don’t worry too much."

"I’m getting more anxious."

"It will be fine."

Yu Seong-un showed an easygoing smile.

"Because there won’t be anyone stopping by the 46th-floor hallway at 12 o’clock sharp, usually."

It was an apartment with only two units per floor. Anyone visiting a place that wasn’t their home at 12 o’clock, of all times, could be seen as having impure motives.

"So even if an accident happens, we can just brush it off as self-defense."

"What on earth are you planning to brush off?"

"This is the power that a conglomerate holds."

Yu Seong-un let out a laugh.

"And in the first place, even via the stairs, no one can visit that floor unless they are a resident of that unit."

"Ah, that’s the same as the elevator. I didn’t know the stairs worked that way too."

"It’s a fact most people who haven’t used the stairs themselves don’t know. But the stairs also require the unit’s card key to enter."

"Then there won’t be any victims who faint from accidentally running into the Black Cape."

"That would have to be seen as bullshit disguised as a mistake. Because it’s impossible for an innocent person to enter this floor without being determined to do so."

Of course, the apartment manager or regular maintenance technicians could enter anytime, but that never happened at 12 o’clock sharp.

As it was a thoroughly managed apartment, they wouldn’t leave any room to disturb the residents’ rest in the slightest.

"So I meant you shouldn’t worry too much."

"Eum, I understand."

"Thanks to this, my meeting time with Jio has also been moved up."

"Ah, you too, Mr. Yu Seong-un, at 12 o’clock...?"

"Guild Leader said it would be convenient to handle it all at once."

"...That...."

"It is bullshit."

Bisabeol was a superior Yu Seong-un respected, but what needed to be said had to be said.

"It seems he wants the three of us to become closer."

"Can I resist with all my might."

"I think you’ll be fine regardless. Let’s hang in there together."

And so, in a place where the man himself was absent, Seo Jio’s Hunter life was being decided.
