- Volume 3 Episode 4

Where money is, of course, flies are also entangled.

If the people who invested in the creation of the raid cannot wait for the right time and demand a full payment, they are in a hurry to pay the money back, and the raid will eventually fail.

Even if it's not, when the number of people increases by hiring new operators in the process of increasing the raid, frictions are bound to arise.

Since each member of the crew is a hunter with special abilities, it was easy for small problems that would arise in normal human relationships to develop into big problems.

It was not uncommon for the raid to be split due to quarrels or conflicts between the members.

Overcoming these numerous problems and growing into a large raid was not an easy task.

The fastest way is to get famous and get investment from various places.

If you had the funds, it was possible to grow the raid at once with a volume offensive.

Of course, various problems arise in their own way, but where in the world is there no problem?

Most of them want to increase their raid size even if they are prepared for the amount of risk they have invested.

However, the Titan raid is a step away from the normal physiology of that raid.

Now, several large raids, including the Zodiac Raid, are making a name for themselves, but that's short-lived.

As a result of looking closely at Jung Daesik as he received scouting offers from various places.

Sooner or later, it was obvious that large raids would hit the limit of growth.

Hopefully, within a few years, the large holes that had grown like bamboo shoots could be dismantled.

Then only a small and robust raid will be able to survive.

What Jung Daesik wants to learn is the know-how of such a raid operation!

As a result, Raid Titan was considered the best fit for the raid he was looking for.

'The problem is the audition.'

If it was the general recruitment of other raids, it wouldn't have been a concern.

Perhaps the fact that he was a triple capable man didn't make him pass without a hitch?

There were no raids crawling to say thank you just for coming.

However, after hearing the rumors about him, the Titans did not make any offers to him.

Even Jung Daesik has to go through a formal audition to join the Titan raid.

'Well, is there anything wrong with an audition? If you focus on your abilities, I'm confident you won't fall for anyone! It's just that I don't know if I'm the right person for the talent I'm looking for in the Titan Raid.'

Last time, there was a famous story of a famous hunter who failed the audition for the Titan raid.

With the exception of a few knowledgeable people, everyone expected the Hunter's success.

This is because he was a hunter with the ability to beat a hell dragon at a whopping level 6 by himself.

But unexpectedly, the hunter was eliminated from the comprehensive test.

He didn't even make it to the final interview.

The hunter was very indignant and asked for the reason for his dismissal, and the reason he revealed in the Titan raid was as follows.

'The self-righteous fighting style that undermines teamwork is not suitable for the Titan raid.'

The Hunter, who had been publicly humiliated, went abroad.

Hopefully Jung Daesik could be like him.

What if he stares into the titan raid and falls?

There must have been rumors from the neighborhood, but it was a very disgraceful thing.

However, Jung Daesik was not a self-proclaimed personality.

He didn't want to hurt his self-esteem either.

'The reason that Hunter fell is because of his arrogance and trust in his own abilities. Raid Titans don't want to hire an idiot who puts the rest of the crew at risk by flirting. There is no doubt that he should look at not only his own abilities, but also his cooperative spirit, ability to cope with crisis, and knowledge of operation and command.'

This was by no means an easy test.

Even Jung Daesik had to put all his heart into it.

'I'll do my best... I'm stuck! Then there will be nothing to be embarrassed about.'

Jung Daesik opened his eyes and set out to analyze the Titan raid.

* * *

Jung Daesik looked around when he arrived at the headquarters building where the Titan Raid's enlistment test would be held.

'Wow! There are a lot of people open.'

Jung Daesik stuck his tongue out and made his way to the information desk through the crowded crowd.

Then, he showed the number he had received online in advance and received an admission ticket.

'Well, I'm a little nervous.'

It was the first time I had an exam of this kind since graduating from school.

For some reason, his heart was pounding and he fell in love.

Jung Daesik pressed his pounding heart down and took a deep breath.

After that, he waited for the registration to close and the full-fledged audition to begin.

But then, someone tapped him on the back.

"Hey, Jung Daesik!"

This shrill voice...

Jung Daesik looked back with a feeling of no way.

Then Ki Cheol-min with an unexpected expression stood there.

"Did you also stare here?"

Ki Chul-min looked completely bewildered.

Jung Daesik looked at him like that and returned the question.

"You too?"

Ki Chul-min frowned.

"Why can't I stare?"

"Not that."

"It's the bottom line. Even if it falls, it's all experience points. What's wrong with you like that? By now, scout offers from all over the place, including the Zodiac Raid, wouldn't be a joke?

Ki Cheol-min, who was talking alone, soon twisted his lips.

"Or, since it's a test that everyone else is taking, did you want to go somewhere else too? Of course you'll pass?"

Jung Daesik was a bit annoyed.

Ki Chul-min seemed to overlap Jung Daesik with that arrogant hunter who fell while trying to enlist in the Titan Raid in the past.

From the beginning, I looked so sloppy, and I didn't even want to make excuses for it.

Jung Daesik is "Nam Director." He let out a short sigh and then turned his head away.

Then Ki Chul-min said with a slightly softened expression that he wanted to.

"It's because it's unexpected. You can choose from any raid. But why the Titan raid? There's no such thing as a special archetype here. You have to audition unconditionally."

“What if you liked it?”

At Jung Daesik's short answer, Ki Cheol-min laughed.

"Well, then, I have nothing to say."

I didn't feel like having a conversation with Ki Cheol-min.

However, I was curious about how the settlement of the Zodiac raid went, so I asked a question.

"By the way, did you get any money from the Zodiac raid?"

Ki Cheol-min shook his head.

"No, not yet. Did you get it?"

Ki Cheol-min glanced up and down the Talos armor worn by Jung Daesik.

Jung Daesik had a weapon he had never seen before, so he seemed to think that he might have paid for the Zodiac raid.

Jung Daesik shook his head and said.

"I haven't received it yet. I got this in another way."

"It doesn't look like an ordinary item. Where did you get it?"

"It's not up to you."

Ki Chul-min seemed a bit offended by Jung Daesik's cutting words.

However, he had not forgotten that he had decided to give Jung Daesik a fold, he said obediently.

"The Zodiac Raid settlement will take some time."

"Why?"

“It seems that some of the monster by-products obtained in the last dungeon are quite good, but since there are magic stones, it takes time to evaluate. . If it doesn't work out, there's a way to just beat it up and get it."

"okay?"

"It would have been nice if I had already been paid. Then I would have been able to come with the equipment. I came here almost barefoot because of poor pockets. I don't know."

Ki Cheol-min grumbled as he looked at the people who were bustling.

Even Jung Daesik seemed to have quite a few talented players.There were also people with conspicuous equipment or weapons, and some of them looked familiar, so they seemed to be famous hunters.

Jung Daesik also made a name for himself in the S23 dungeon, but few people recognized him here.

This is because everyone is busy before the audition, and even though the rumors about the triple list are spreading, Jung Daesik's name and face are not known exactly.

"Registration is closed! Please hand out according to the number!"

Following the shouts of his guide, Jung Daesik confirmed his number.

His number is 241.

Ki Cheol-min was number 111, so he was moved separately from him.

"Go through window 1 up to 100, go through window 2 up to 200, go through window 3 up to 300, and wait for the rest!"

From the looks of it, it seemed that nearly 1,500 people watched it.

It was a huge scale for the number of candidates for a small and medium-sized raid like this.

Jung Daesik went into window 2 and measured his status with the guidance of the staff.

From there, those who did not reach the reference point fell without being able to move on to the next order.

You must be at least level 8 to qualify for the minimum audition.

This was notified in advance, but there were people who came to take the test inevitably, so some of them were filtered out by measuring their status.

And that was the beginning of the real test.

"The first test will start soon! Candidates, please take off all equipment and equipment!"

At the staff's instructions, the hunters murmured.

The place where the test was held was a kind of auditorium, and there was nothing to measure ability.

But when he suddenly asked me to go naked, everyone looked puzzled.

Then the staff urged them again.

"Please take off all equipment and equipment and wear only clothes! If you use other items, you will be disqualified! Again, please disarm all equipment and equipment! The equipment and equipment you collect will be returned to you later! "

The staff walked around and collected items in large sacks.

Then I put a number tag sticker on them and went out of the auditorium.

All that was left was the hunters in a state that was nothing more than a bare body.

When the preparations were complete, the supervisor finally came out.

"Now then, let's start the first test. Everyone, please stand on your hands!"

Astonishing reactions erupted from here and there at the supervisor's words.

"Was it a handful?"

"Are you kidding me now?"

"What kind of gym is this?"

"What is this audition for?"

After suppressing the murmur, the supervisor said calmly.

"I'll tell you again. When you hear the whistle, stand up and hold on. If you can't stand the tree, you can leave right now."
