Civil Servant Hunter’s S-class Resignation Log
Chapter 96:

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~!

It would have been wonderful if everything had concluded on a heartwarming note, just like the pleasant atmosphere between the two individuals. Unfortunately, the current situation depicted Kang Sejun kneeling before an enraged tiger.

“You’re saying you have to go to the Japan Dungeon?”

Few things are as frightening as angry parents. Kang Sejun felt a shiver run down his spine.

“Are you out of your mind? Have you forgotten that you have to enter the Labyrinth soon?”

“It’s difficult to explain, but Yun Seora is absolutely necessary,” Sejun replied.

“Listen, Kang Sejun. Do you know why I hold this position?”

“…Why?”

“It’s because of people like you, who push my people into dangerous places!” Golden patterns erupted all over Song Hanna’s body as she began to rage. It was clear that trying to calm her down would only make things worse, so Seora silently prayed for Kang Sejun’s survival.

Stay strong, Mr. Regressor.

“I sincerely apologize! Instead, I vow to dedicate my entire life to Yun Seora! I’ll risk everything to protect her! I promise!”

“…”

“…”

Wait a moment. If you say something like that here, things will get awkward…

“Wh-wh-wh-what are you saying? D-dedicate what?” Song Hanna’s confusion caused the patterns on her body to vanish, and she stumbled over her words. Apart from when Seora’s mother was injured or killed, this was the first time she had seen her so speechless.

“I’m not asking her to make any sacrifices. There will never be a need for that. I swear on my life. And if that’s not enough, I’ll dedicate my entire life to Yun Seora.”

No, that’s not the issue here.

Song Hanna turned her head sharply toward Seora, who squeaked. Seora flinched under the intensity of her gaze, as if it could pierce through her.

“D-don’t look at me like that! It’s not what you think!”

“…Are you two secretly dating or something? Come to think of it, you were alone together last time too.”

I already said no, but you just had to bring up that topic!

Seora covered her face with both hands and slumped down. It wasn’t out of embarrassment, but rather a sense of self-reproach. “That’s not it. I’m telling you, it’s not like that… I have no relationship with Kang Sejun…”

“But then why would he dedicate his entire life to you?”

That’s what I’m saying. There’s no need for something like that.

“Kang Sejun, could it be that you think my Seora means nothing to you?” Song Hanna’s expression seemed ready to kill if that were the case.

“If I were to say that I’m not interested in her, you’d be angry, thinking I’m belittling your niece, wouldn’t you?”

It was a question with no right answer from the beginning. In response to Kang Sejun’s sharp words, Song Hanna confidently declared, “Of course!” Seora felt the weight of shame.

“I genuinely admire Yun Seora. Just a few months ago, she was only an F-class, but now she willingly steps forward to face dangerous situations.”

From the Level 2 Dungeon in Seoul Forest to the Rift Dungeon of the Hunting Guild, and even the Level 1 Dungeon in Cheorwon, Seora had tackled more than just one or two dungeons. Despite the immense risks involved, she had voluntarily ventured into those perilous places multiple times. She even had plans to enter the Labyrinth soon.

Kang Sejun respected and admired Seora for her unwavering determination. “To me, Yun Seora is an incredibly precious presence. I will protect her at all costs, even if it means sacrificing my own life.”

However, those words carried a different weight for those unaware of the full context.

As expected, upon hearing such a clear expression of self-interest, Song Hanna’s expression transformed into that of a demon.

How could you casually say that someone’s existence is precious? If anyone witnessed this, they might assume you’re asking for permission to marry her or something.

【Administrator: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻ㅁ┻】

No, Administrator-nim, why are you doing this when you know the truth?

〖“Regardless of the reason, I don’t like the idea of someone risking and dedicating their entire life to my contractee.” 〗

Bang! As a sudden voice resounded, Seora toppled off her chair. Song Hanna, who had been shaking Kang Sejun by the collar with a menacing look, turned her bewildered gaze toward Seora.

“Seora? Are you protesting against me because I have your boyfriend by the collar…?”

〖”Boyfriend? Boyfriend? Seora, when did your relationship progress to that point without me knowing?”〗

‘S-stop it! Don’t both of you speak at the same time!’

It felt like madness. Even if she covered her ears, the administrator’s voice infiltrated her mind directly, impossible to silence.

“No. no! It’s not like that! Kang Sejun and I don’t have that kind of relationship!”

Please, someone, whether it’s Song Hanna or the administrator, just listen!

“Kang Sejun, you’ve caused a ridiculous misunderstanding!”

She had always maintained a respectful demeanor toward Kang Sejun and Seong Jarim in front of others, but now it seemed futile. She felt wronged and had the urge to grab that guy by the collar.

“Not like that? But why is he proposing to you?”

“That’s not a proposal!”

〖”A proposal? I can’t even tolerate you dating, and now he wants to get married? I should kill that guy right away…”〗

“Argh! Just stop it!” Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ ɴ0velFɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Seora had initially thought it was beneficial to hear the administrator’s voice, but it had turned into a disaster. She would have preferred the flipping table emoji instead. Listening to both Song Hanna and the administrator screaming like penguins, she felt as if she were losing her sanity.

【Administrator: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻】

【Administrator: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻】

【Administrator: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻】

【Administrator: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻】

【Administrator: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻】

It felt as if the administrator had read her inner thoughts. Startled by the flood of overwhelming emojis that obscured her vision, Seora jumped up.

‘Stop it! Don’t invade my thoughts like that!’

“Kang Sejun! Quickly clarify that it’s not true! Even my god is going crazy because of you!”

“You do have a close relationship with your Entity. Of course, it’s not a proposal. There’s nothing like that between me and Yun Seora.”

As Kang Sejun finally spoke the truth, both Song Hanna and the administrator fell silent.

It had truly been a brush with disaster. Seora let out a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat trickling down her face.

But it was always a problem when she listened to his words till the end…

“Though it’s not a lie that I’m willing to dedicate my life. If marriage involves taking responsibility, then naturally…”

“Youuu!!”

Unable to bear it any longer, Seora finally pounced on Kang Sejun.

***

Despite the near-disaster where someone almost met their demise, Korea ultimately decided to respond to Japan’s request for assistance.

A total of four personnel participated in the mission: Yun Seora, Kang Sejun, Jeong Hoyeong, and Do Junyeong, who was specially dispatched to monitor and prevent Japan from causing unnecessary trouble.

The reason Seong Jarim was not involved in this mission was simple.

“I can’t kill spirits! I don’t even have a mental barrier!”

She shouted with an innocent expression. Who would have guessed she was the person who destroyed an entire planet and returned alive?

“By the way, are you okay with revealing your identity earlier than planned?”

In response to Song Hanna’s question, Seora shrugged, stating that there was no point in hiding it any longer. “It was going to be revealed sooner or later. Well, it might be better to expose myself in Japan than on Labyrinth Island,” she grinned.

Understanding the underlying meaning, Song Hanna burst into laughter as well.

Korea had always experienced periods of instability, but after the recent upheaval, the situation became particularly turbulent. China boasted two L-class individuals, while Japan had an astonishing eighteen S-class individuals. This led to the escalation of diplomatic issues, reaching a critical level.

Even twelve years ago, during the Cheorwon Dungeon crisis when Korea was on the brink of destruction, they not only refused to offer assistance but seemed to turn a blind eye, almost desiring its downfall. The burden on the Korean people grew to the point of boiling over.

But what about now? With Kang Sejun and Seong Jarim emerging one after another, Korea quickly surpassed Japan and reached the pinnacle of glory. And with Seora’s grand appearance as the mysterious Headbang, she became the center of attention. It was in part due to this that the world’s gaze focused more on Seora than on the other two.

Yet, in this delicate situation, as emotions ran deeper and deeper, Seora chose to reveal her true identity in none other than Japan. She instantly became the focus of global attention on that stage.

The impact on other countries was akin to having their hearts pierced, igniting a simmering volcano within them.

The power dynamics in Northeast Asia had undergone a drastic transformation in just a few short months.

“I’m going to make a grand entrance, so get ready to write a remarkable article.”

“Don’t worry, we’ll definitely craft an impactful debut article.”

Perfect. Seora flashed a triumphant smile and high-fived Song Hanna.

***

“Then perhaps we should form a contract before heading to Japan.”

Seora made her way to the training room located at the association’s headquarters. It was a facility accessible to any Awakened registered with the association, and its walls and floor were reinforced with magic stones obtained from dungeons, making it incredibly sturdy.

Thanks to her L-class status, the CCTV cameras were turned off, allowing Seora to proceed confidently as she retrieved the Summoner’s Contract she obtained in the United States.

“It’s a contract for summoning a monster from a fantasy realm. I wonder which one will be summoned?”

【Administrator: (´,,•ω•,,)??】

“What kind of monster do you think would be beneficial? It would be great if it could fly.”

With running becoming increasingly challenging, Seora desired a companion with the ability to transport her.

【Administrator: o(*≧∀≦*)o】

“Oh? Can you actually choose the monster yourself?”

【Administrator: (._. )… … .】

“You can’t… Then why are you so enthusiastic?”

【Administrator: (o•̀ω•́o)//】

In response to the gesture of giving it a try, Seora unfolded the contract.

【Summoner’s Contract】

You can summon and tame one monster residing in the fantasy realm.

The monster’s abilities level is determined based on the summoner’s rank, and the summoned monster inherits one of the summoner’s skills.

※Warning: Once summoned, the contract cannot be unilaterally terminated until either party dies. In the event of the death of either party, the contract is automatically nullified.

Having carefully read the contents, Seora infused the elegant parchment with her own unique dark red mana and affixed her signature.

“Summon.”

As Seora uttered the command, the parchment illuminated in a vibrant shade of red. Her heart raced with anticipation, as this was her first experience witnessing the summoning of a being.

Who would answer the call? She held onto hope that it would be someone capable of flight, someone who possessed the ability to soar through the skies. Please, let it be so!

【The ‘Summoner’s Contract’ verifies the information of the summoner ‘Yun Seora’.]

【Rating confirmed】

【Unique Ability confirmed】

【Sole contractee for Planet—Earth’s system administrator confirmed】

【The contract is amazed by the astounding abilities of the summoner!】

【Checking the abilities of fantasy monsters. Summoning a monster that suits the summoner!】

“Oh, so even the contractee of the system administrator has an influence in situations like this.”

Seora’s eyes sparkled with anticipation as she wondered what kind of awe-inspiring summoned being would appear. She anxiously observed the shimmering light taking shape on the summoning parchment. What form would it take? How adorable would it be? And what name should she bestow upon her new companion?

The moment she offered a prayer with a heart full of joy…

【Error. Error. The system administrator is interfering with the monster summoning.】

“Liza-ssi?”

【Interference complete.】

【Monster summoning has been completed.】

With a burst of dazzling light and a resounding explosion, the summoned monster finally revealed its true form.
