Chapter 248
One of the most important aspects of the civil service world was protocol toward those in higher positions. Essentially, protocol in this context involved showing respect to dignitaries at events or ceremonies. Usually, the targets of such protocol were the mayor, council members, or department heads—though exceptions always existed.
The subjects of this protocol for the next day were two S-rank Hunters.
“Sigh... Stay calm, Kang Cheol-Soo,” Cheol-Soo muttered, swallowing nervously as he reviewed the report.

A collaborative A-rank Great Fissure Night Inspection was scheduled for next Thursday from 6 PM to 8 PM at the A-rank Great Fissure near Singeumho Station. However, there was a catch. The collaborative team included one civil servant from Seoul City Hall’s Fissure Management Division and two Hunters from Behemoth Guild under the Hunter’s Bureau.
Since the start of 2020, this marked the first official joint task between Seoul City Hall and the Hunter’s Bureau, following the recently signed memorandum of understanding. Cheol-Soo had even heard from the secretary’s office that the mayor himself was particularly concerned about this task. The pressure was immense.
He was reading through the preliminary draft of the inspection day plan created by Do-Jun when he suddenly said, “What is this...?”
He stared incredulously at the document in his hand. The proposed transportation from Seoul City Hall to the Fissure involved taking the subway and walking, with no options or plans for dinner.
Panicking, Cheol-Soo called Do-Jun over. “Do-Jun.”
“Yes, Chief?”
“This plan is going to go all the way up to the mayor for approval.”
“Yes, I’m aware.”
