Chapter 300
Most, if not all, rumors have a way of growing more exaggerated over time. What starts as nothing can become distorted through word of mouth, eventually obscuring the truth. That was exactly what was happening among the contract Hunters at Seoul City Hall.
With the rank evaluations approaching, murmurs only spread.
“Did you hear? They’re no longer extending contracts that easily anymore.”
“If we don’t reach the rank set by Supervisor Lee, we’re out.”
“Apparently, Chief Kang told Young-Hoon that there are plenty of others who can take his place.’”
“The maximum number of Hunters they can give a contract to is fifty, but there are already hundreds of people wanting to join as contract Hunters. I heard the waitlist is full.”
“And not just any Hunters... All the applicants are B-rank or higher.”
Every time a few contract Hunters gathered, similar conversations unfolded. Of course, these were all just baseless rumors, but given how much the contract Hunters had improved over the past year under Do-Jun’s guidance, it didn’t seem entirely impossible.
His advice had been nothing short of extraordinary. He had taken F-rank Hunters, who could barely handle goblins, and trained them to the point where they could toy with orcs.
Was it because they had that much untapped potential?
No. If they had been working solo or under a different guild or management agency, such results would have been impossible.
“They’re also cutting the pay completely. We’d have to work for free.”
