I Was Discharged From the Hunter Guild

69 – Corpse Shield

Sena Lee, who moved to the center of the hearing.

But at this moment, her appearance gave off a completely different feeling than usual.

Speaking of her usual… she’s basically arrogant. And it was normal to have a face that felt a bit shameless… as if it were literally iron plated.

But now, in Isena’s appearance in front of people, there was no sign of that at all.

She has a face that seems to contain anxiety, nervousness, and deep concern. She was presenting herself like a girl among adults.

and..

Seeing her leave with that expression on her face, Eugene Choi and Seon Na Na, who were present together, were making opposite faces.

“Is it okay?..”

“There’s no way it wouldn’t be okay. If that dog-like bitch was going to collapse like this, do you think she would have said that in front of us?”

“Ugh…”

Unlike Na-sun, who virtually completely turned her back on Isena, Yu-jin still had a little bit of concern for Sena as a friend.

Although many people died because of her, including her precious friend Seo Ji-yoon… Nevertheless, Choi Yu-jin thought that it was difficult to see this incident simply as Isena’s fault.

The Abyss’ behavior change this time was a very unusual case.

To think that they, who are no different from beasts, set up a plan to trap themselves.

No matter how ominous the omen was, Choi Yu-jin thought that there was some room for consideration in this case, as it was actually a case where the basic common sense was overturned.

‘From that point of view, wouldn’t this situation be too harsh for Senna?

and..

In front of Choi Yu-jin’s eyes, who felt sympathy for Sena, the hearing toward Isena began.

“Are you the guild master of the 28 Hunter Guild, Isena Hunter?”

“N..Yes, I am Isena.”

Sena Lee answers the lieutenant general’s question with a trembling voice.

Accordingly, the lieutenant general continued to analyze the situation and ask questions for judgment.

“According to the previous testimonies, the responsibility for this defeat was all caused by Ise or Hunter’s self-righteousness. Let me know what you think about this.”

“That.. that is.. definitely.. I did something wrong.. ha.. but..”

“But… what?”

“That… that… ah… no. It’s just that this incident is entirely my responsibility. Please treat it like that.”

The figure of Isena, who was about to say something in a crawling voice, but stopped.

In response, the lieutenant general asked her again in a determined voice.

“Of course, it is a fact that we already know that you made a big mistake in this matter. But before that, this is the seat of the hearing. If there’s something we’re missing, let’s talk about it and move on. This is related not only to your treatment, but also to the courtesy of the dead.”

“N.. Yes ah.. I understand. Jung If that’s the case… I’ll tell you.”

Sena spoke in a cautious voice as if she had made up her mind about the lieutenant general’s words.

Seeing her like this, Choi Yu-jin assumed that she would talk about the issues he had in mind.

I thought he would apologize for his excessive greed… and demand leniency while talking about the behavior of the Abyss, which was completely different from before.

And, in front of Yujin Choi, Lee Sena seemed to hesitate once again and then started to open her mouth.

“F.. Actually… Although it is true that I took action this time… it was never my will..”

“..?”

“That… what do you mean?”

As an unexpected story came out, Choi Yu-jin’s face began to look suspicious, and the lieutenant general also asked Sena with questions.

And about this… Senna continued to speak to the lieutenant general in front of her with a trembling voice.

“Actually.. this operation.. no.. actually a long time ago.. I wasn’t the guild master of the 28 guild. In the meantime, what I’ve been doing is actually just the role of face madam. In fact, everything was being controlled by the person who died in this operation… Seo Ji-yoon, an S-class hunter.”

“… What?”

“..ji.. what are you saying now..”

Not only Choi Yujin, but also Na Seon Na began to show embarrassment at Lee Sena’s sudden nonsense.

However, regardless of their reaction.

Isena, standing in the center of the hearing, continued her story in a hesitant voice.

“Even though I was a guild master, it was only because I was forced to take the position to live up to my father’s expectations. Because of this… I fully accepted the opinion of Seo Ji-yoon, who is also an S-class hunter and had excellent abilities, and as a result, we have been able to lead our 28 guild in a good way.”

“Certainly… Considering the 28 guild’s entirety so far, it’s been very good, except for the recent chaotic period. If so, are you now admitting that all of that was the work of Hunter Seo Ji-yoon, not yours?”

“Yes, it is. However, as Seo Ji-yoon’s influence within the guild grew, my position became narrower and narrower… This eventually brought about this situation.”

“I wish you could be more specific about that story.”

Showing a rather interesting reaction, the lieutenant general ordered Isena to continue talking.

And, in response to this, Sena continued to speak in a voice as if crying.

“Yes.. Although he has been capable so far, Seo Ji-yoon started obsessing over the ball after going through a period of poor performance a while ago. It seems that she felt uneasy as her goal of becoming a guild master, which she had been hoping for all along, was shaken.

Sena Lee, who tells stories that do not even exist, like a liquidator.

While listening to this, Yujin Choi couldn’t say anything with her face contemplating.

In the case of Ji-seon, I started to feel the urge to run to that bitch right away and stop talking about crazy bullshit like that.

However, the hunters who were placed around them immediately began to stop her from acting like this.

“If you make a fuss, I will remove you immediately.”

“You have no say here. Please remain quiet.”

“This… these bastards…”

Hunters suppress their actions with small voices and heavy power.

As a result, Ji-seon was aware of what was happening here, but couldn’t do anything other than curse at this dog-like situation.

Like that, while turning the insides of my colleagues standing on one side without hesitation,

Senna continued to speak while looking at the lieutenant general.

“In that sense, this expedition gave quite a lot of expectations to Seo Ji-yoon Hunter. It was because she thought that if she did well this time, she would be able to achieve the dream she had always wanted. However, things didn’t go so well and ended up causing an incident like this one. A terrible incident that made me incite my allies and, as a result, sacrificed countless lives.”

Isena speaks with tears in her eyes.

In response, the lieutenant general nodded slowly and spoke to her.

“That means… you just did it under pressure to force the battle, and in fact, the person who led all of this was Seo Ji-yoon Hunter.. does that mean?”

“Yes.. yes.. ha.. but.. even so, I do not intend to avoid this sin. Whatever the reason, all of this is the result of my incompetence for not leading the guild well. I will take the punishment for him sweetly.”

“Ummm..”

Isena’s words tell a story that is quite different from what she had imagined.

In response, many of those present thought she was lying to get out of this situation.

However, as many people did not know the detailed internal circumstances of the 28th guild, there were also quite a few people who seemed to be a bit dubious about it.

Some even felt a little sympathy for her, who expressed regret with tears in her eyes.

And among those people… Unfortunately, it seemed that the lieutenant general, who had the authority to make a judgment about this matter, was also included.

“If that’s true… I’m sure there’s some extenuating factor. In this case, it would be natural for the person who took the lead to be responsible rather than the person who acted inevitably. Besides, the movement of the Abyss this time is definitely a unique case that has no historical origin…”

Like this, the lieutenant general seems to be thinking about giving leniency as much as possible.

but this moment.

Isena, who had spoken in front of him with tears in her eyes, already knew very well what was going to happen next.

It was natural.

It was because Isena already knew what kind of person the lieutenant general was, as if he was agonizing in front of her eyes.

A person whose father’s breath touches him.. In other words, an existence that can be said to be Isena’s ally.

In other words, if Isena made an appropriate excuse, the lieutenant general would have snapped it up, and from that point of view, the situation was as if it was over now that the appropriate excuse had been made.
