Leveling Up from scratch chapter 145
Chapter 145

More specifically, of all his management skills, Su Hyuk was the most confident.

“Thanks to this, although I lacked a lot, I was able to rule the country.”

In fact, Su Hyuk was not strong enough in management, politics, diplomacy and other such aspects.

It’s just that they were the only state on the land of Hwang, so there were no problems with diplomacy, but here politics and governance are extremely important.

And this was not a case where only feelings or intuition could decide.

Soo Hyuk felt the responsibility of a leader. At least making correct and competent decisions is the main task now. Especially until stability is established in the country. And at this time, the most important thing is still to hire and appoint qualified people to positions.

He always believed that he was good at understanding people. And now, when this quality has become especially necessary in his activity, he is fully convinced of this.

In the end, Soo Hyuk decided to bond with those who seemed normal and those who could benefit him.

This was the reason for the separation of Vladimir and Oh Shin Wu, who were so similar.

“Vladimir is one of those who will always wriggle out,” Su Hyuk thought.

And then he, like a snake, will wait for the opportunity to smash the enemy.

He knows how to hide properly, skillfully hides his thoughts, but such a trick will not hide from Su Hyuk’s gaze. Therefore, you should not appoint such to such an important post, otherwise you will not end up with problems.

This is probably why Soo Hyuk decided to conduct the interview himself.

“I also need to look at the warriors I saw during the battle against the rank 12 portal monsters,” the guy decided.

When he looked at the cast of the ghost king Orojais, he had many different thoughts in his head.

Humanity and other races. He knew there was a difference in strength in other aspects as well, but he didn’t think it was that great. It’s not just about demons and angels. There are still so many dimensions that Soo Hyuk is unaware of. And they must be closed.

“More power is needed,” he understood very well.

The Nameless One himself could fight with everyone and win. But protection is a completely different matter.

“We ought to distribute everyone to hunters and defenders,” he planned.

The International Union of Warriors has established a very adequate system.

Still, hunters, too, in times of crisis stand guard with defenders and take responsibility. But mostly they are responsible for fighting what comes out of the portals. Vanguard. Soo Hyuk was also there. The Protectors were also responsible for keeping the Hunters calm in the portal during battles.

Soo Hyuk believed that the Protectors should at least be at least as high as the ghosts of King Orojais. The so-called minority, the elite, which exist in any country. We must pay attention to their potential.

And this time, many have applied to the Mobius Guild. But, unfortunately, only one of them met the requirements.

“They wanted to take at least 10 people …” Su-Hyuk recalled.

The result is too small.

Many people came and were noticed during the battle. But, unfortunately, most of them failed the Nameless’s demands for many reasons. All of them were talented enough, but each had reasons for disqualification. For example, imbalance during battles. So there are far fewer people left than planned. But what can you do, such is the situation.

“There are five more interviews left, let’s see what’s in there,” the guy thought hopefully.

Unfortunately, the first ended with only a sigh of disappointment and regret. In fact, only one was suitable to be accepted into Su Hyuk’s special squad. But on the other hand, there were many who were selected for the main composition of the guild.

“ This is a great achievement for the first day. ” HR Director Song Ji Hoo smiled and walked over to Soo Hyuk, whose face was not the happiest expression.

Song Ji Hoo saw that Nameless was very upset after the first interview, so he decided to console him. Soo Hyuk, despite his bad mood, appreciated the tactfulness of the department director and thanked him.

– Thank you!

Song Ji Hoo smiled softly at the words of gratitude, nodded and headed for the door.

Laconic person. He makes a good impression and knows how to read people’s emotions. Therefore, in fact, he was higher than just an HR manager. He knows how to get the favor of others and, according to the feelings of the opponent, make the right decisions.

– Thank you for your work.

– Well done!

Nevertheless, it was advised by Oh Shin Wu himself.

“As soon as all the interviews are over, you can entrust everything to him and not worry,” decided Bezymyanny.

Oh Shin Woo tried to arrange everything so that, if possible, Su Hyuk would not be involved in the affairs of the guild. And Song Ji Hoo’s appointment fulfilled that challenge. When all the candidates had left, Soo Hyuk crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair. The reason was no longer regret and grief about the work done.

– When will it all end? He sighed wearily.

Soo Hyuk glanced to his right at the wide white wall. He had the feeling that everything was distorted and only a few images remained.

– Lisa, Arnold, Vladimir.

Soo Hyuk scratched his chin. Of these, he owed Lisa. Arnold’s position fluctuated slightly. But Vladimir. Soo Hyuk’s gaze turned stern.

“You’ve been in hiding for a long time, but still, thanks for choosing to honor me with your visit.” He glared at the vampire.

Vladimir waved his hands in dismay, looking at Su Hyuk rising from his seat.

– W-wait!

– It’s late, dude.

The nameless one instantly disappeared from sight. Arnold, whose reflexes were the best, tried to follow his movements with his eyes, but he, too, lost sight of him.

“Has he become even faster during this time?” Arnold thought with dismay.

Even at the first meeting, he fought the Nameless in order to assess his capabilities. And compared to that time, Soo Hyuk has become even faster and stronger. The changes for the better were evident, but Arnold could not believe it. After all, Su Hyuk has already become the standard for humanity, but it seems that he still continued to improve at an incredible speed.

– Ay! – Vladimir, who was grabbed by the neck, was lifted high into the air.

Until then, Arnold and Lisa, who had not reacted in any way, opened their eyes.

– Hey, how do you like the proposal – to talk first? He’s sincere … – said Arnold cautiously.

A grin appeared on Soo Hyuk’s face.

– Are you saying that after the threat I think that this is a manifestation of sincere help and a change of position?

He threw an icy look at Arnold. He involuntarily shuddered and took a step back.

“If you don’t want me to raise you together, then don’t twitch,” the Nameless one advised.

Arnold thought it best to remain silent. But his thoughts were clear.

“But who does he take me for, that he dares to treat me like that? Bloody little man. ”

It’s clear that Arnold didn’t say it out loud. But he stubbornly averted his gaze so as not to meet his eyes with the Nameless One. Vladimir looked imploringly at Liza.

– Listen, Lisa, help me please.

But the beauty did not attach any importance to his requests. It played into Soo Hyuk’s hands. Vladimir, having interpreted Su Hyuk’s mental state in his own way, decided that Lisa would be more useful than Arnold.

But, unfortunately, Vladimir missed several points. First, Soo Hyuk was not going to stop even if Lisa asked. And secondly, Lisa is smart.

“Sorry, you and I are not in the kind of relationship where we risk our lives for each other, are we? – his girlfriend turned away.

“We are lovers…” the vampire begged.

– So let’s part, – smirked Lisa.

“Don’t get it wrong, Nameless One. I no longer have any relationship with this vampire, “she told Su Hyuk.

– L-lisa?

Liza did not react in any way to Vladimir’s tearful phrase, took the phone out of her pocket and turned to the wall.

– Call when you’re done. I’m watching videos with idols here.

Soo Hyuk shook his head slightly and smiled cheekily.

– Probably, the vampire will be less hurt than people?

After these words, Soo Hyuk raised his index finger and said something that everyone who fought with him feared.

– Pain, implantation.

And the interview room was filled with Vladimir’s screams.

Although he is a vampire, he cannot avoid pain.

***

Only about twenty minutes, but for Vladimir they were comparable to a hundred years. In the eyes of Arnold, looking at how the body of Vladimir, crawling on the floor, was twisted, there was fear, he swallowed.

– What the hell did you do?

Vladimir is a descendant of vampires. He has lived a long life and is used to pain. Not to mention his willpower. In fact, even Arnold, who thought Vladimir was funny, recognized his advantages. But now this gnarled Vladimir is crawling on the floor and cannot get himself together.

It was hard to believe, looking at him now, that he carefully cares about his appearance at normal times. Moreover, in front of Lisa, whom Vladimir loves so much.

“Our meeting is like a powerful spark that pierced right through …”.

And Lisa didn’t care about it, she stared at the phone, listened to music and watched the video, and the expression on her face was as if she was enjoying it.

“It’s your turn,” Soo Hyuk turned to Arnold.

– W-what? I … – he shuddered.

– Didn’t you agree with Vladimir’s position, didn’t you?

It’s like that. But he thought he could get away with it, since he was not the instigator. However, this was a delusion.

“You also have twenty minutes.

Why didn’t he attack right away? As if reading Arnold’s thoughts, Soo Hyuk laughed.

– Thank you that this did not happen. If you had stopped me, the punishment would have lasted twice as long.

Arnold swallowed and tried to relax his muscles.

“Yes, it will hurt anyway.”

Arnold is more used to pain than Vladimir. And yet he was a warrior, not a wizard. He had a strong body and the same unshakable spirit.

– A-ah! – but none of this helped.

Arnold yelled and waved his hands. Soo Hyuk glanced at Arnold’s non-ridiculous look and shook his head.

– Crazy.

Soo Hyuk touched Arnold’s blood with the tip of his index finger.

– A-ah! Save!

Arnold’s body twisted, he rolled on the floor in snot and tears. His pride as a warrior was nowhere to be seen.

“ Eh, ” Soo Hyuk breathed out.

Twenty minutes later, Vladimir, who had come to his senses and recovered, got up from the floor, and Arnold was spinning and crawling on the floor in saliva and snot.

The nameless one was laconic.

– More pain? He glanced at the vampire.

– It’s okay, – the intonation of the deadly pale Vladimir has changed dramatically.

Satisfied, Soo Hyuk nodded condescendingly.

“Vladimir looks like a Black Slave,” he chuckled to himself.

Quite an oppressive method, but it will be beneficial in their relationship.
