Chapter 82
The Hunters assigned to the Seoul City Hall’s Fissure Management Division were on standby at their own homes most of the time unless a special occasion required them to be in office—such as when a new C-rank or lower Fissures were detected, or when issues arose with existing Fissures managed by the city, or for patrols. Additionally, they were required to come in once a month for the monthly physical enhancement session.
On the day of the physical enhancement, the Hunters gathered in the break room attached to the Fissure Management Division office, waiting their turn. They sat close together, quietly eyeing Ye-Ji—more precisely, they were looking at the man sitting next to her, with whom she was happily chatting: Lee Do-Jun.
The Hunters started talking among themselves.
“I heard Supervisor Kwon isn’t coming in today.”
“So, we’re going with the drill sergeant?”
“Man, keep your voice down, or the sergeant’s gonna hear you.”
Among the Hunters contracted by the city, Do-Jun had earned the nickname Drill Sergeant. His by-the-book, process-driven way of working made the Hunters think of him as an instructor at a military academy.
Still, that wasn’t the only reason he had earned that nickname. There was another key factor for this.
“I wish he’d run drills with me, too...”
“Are you crazy?”
“Hah, don’t act like you’re not jealous.”
