A Civil Servant Who Hides His Strength Is Exceptionally Good at Possession – Episode 200
“Jeon Hwan-su’s treatment is finished. They say both his legs are fine, and it seems Mo Jun-mi has been making a fuss about wanting to meet with him.”
After the hunt ended, Mo Jun-mi first went to her own residence and invited Choi Woo-jin over.
I had expected a flashy villa in Cheongdam-dong or an impressive apartment, but surprisingly, Mo Jun-mi’s home was a countryside residence.
‘Though this is certainly impressive enough in its own right.’
I gazed at the stone wall surrounding the property where nothing inside was visible from the outside, the living room with its floor-to-ceiling windows, and the garden visible through those expansive windows.
As if divided into sectors, different varieties of flowers, trees, and shrubs coexisted in their own territories without encroaching on one another.
“That would make sense. She’s worried that if she meets with him, she’ll be swayed by his persuasive words again.”
Mo Jun-mi said this as she walked between the terrariums placed in the living room.
“But are you really sure about this? After all, there will continue to be pain in your heart, and if that happens, it will strain your heart….”
The fact that Mo Jun-mi won’t die because of Choi Se-a’s ‘promise’ is now a foregone conclusion.
But a ‘promise’ is like an eternal shackle fastened upon her.
We contacted Choi Se-a as soon as we left that place, but predictably, her response was this.
[There’s no way for me to break a promise that’s already been established. So it’s Themis’s Sword.]
In other words, every time she refuses Jeon Hwan-su’s words, the attacks on Mo Jun-mi’s heart will continue.
‘If she keeps defending against an A-Rank attack skill with an S-Rank self-heal, the mana consumption would be quite substantial….’
That’s when it happened.
Mo Jun-mi pointed to a small terrarium and spoke.
“I love terrariums. They’re fascinating, aren’t they? In a sealed small world, if you just put in oxygen, water, and living organisms, an entire ecosystem forms within it.”
“Well… I suppose so?”
But this doesn’t seem like the right time to be talking about this….
“But the moss that originally went into this terrarium was already in a dead state.”
Mo Jun-mi pointed to the moss filling the terrarium as she spoke.
“Excuse me?”
“More precisely, it was in a dying state. I confirmed it myself. And I gave my skill to this small life form along with a D-Rank Magical Stone.”
At those words, I looked at the terrariums around us.
So all of these—
‘Were experiments?’
“And then?”
That’s when Choi Woo-jin interjected.
“As you can see.”
Mo Jun-mi set her terrarium down in front of Choi Woo-jin and me.
The moss had grown luxuriantly, completely covering the outer surface.
“The power of the Magical Stone combined with my skill sustained the moss’s life force, and thanks to that, the moss continues to survive. As the Magical Stone’s power circulates continuously and can substitute for the moss’s life force, it has become a ‘terrarium.'”
“So the skill works in continuous circulation when it meets the Magical Stone?”
“Yes. But this is only possible with a D-Rank because it’s just moss—”
“For Mo Jun-mi’s body, you’d need an A-Rank Magical Stone.”
Mo Jun-mi nodded at Choi Woo-jin’s words.
But if it’s Mo Jun-mi, an A-Rank Magical Stone….
“I already have one prepared. I never thought I’d use it like this. I had been thinking of it as something like a gift for Jeon Hwan-su someday….”
Mo Jun-mi said this with a bitter laugh.
In any case, this meant her heart would eventually reach a state where it could self-heal without consuming her mana anymore.
“If continuous attacks keep coming in, quite a few A-Rank Mana Stones will be consumed, though.”
Even if her body became like a terrarium with its own circulatory system, Choi Se-a’s A-Rank skills would continue attacking that circulation.
It meant she’d have to keep feeding A-Rank Mana Stones like batteries—
‘That’s going to cost quite a bit.’
“You don’t need to worry about that, Hunter Mo Jun-mi. Once I become the Daeyang Guild Master, I’ll naturally accept all the contract conditions you’ve proposed, and I plan to funnel all Mana Stones except items directly to you.”
Choi Woo-jin exploited Mo Jun-mi’s weakness as if he’d been waiting for this moment.
True to form for a regressor, his mind worked brilliantly.
“These conditions are quite unprecedented, you know.”
At Choi Woo-jin’s words, Mo Jun-mi’s eyes narrowed.
“I know. But are you really confident you can become the Guild Master?”
At Mo Jun-mi’s question, Choi Woo-jin smiled wickedly.
“If Hunter Mo Jun-mi helps me, anything is possible.”

A few hours later.
Mo Jun-mi posted on social media.
She also had her lawyer deliver a statement to news outlets.
Mo Jun-mi’s Lawyer: Contract Renegotiation with Daeyang Guild Falls Through
Mo Jun-mi: “Participating in the hunt was merely a gesture of goodwill, but renegotiation is a separate matter.”
Mo Jun-mi Sides with Choi Woo-jin over Jeon Hwan-su
-Through social media, Mo Jun-mi revealed that she “hopes for Choi Woo-jin, not Jeon Hwan-su, to be appointed Daeyang Guild Master,” and stated that she “tried to convey this intention during the hunt, but was disappointed by how overwhelmingly strong Madam Min’s unilateral decision was.”
-“Considering Daeyang Guild’s roots, it’s only natural that Hunter Choi Woo-jin, who strongly inherited Choi Jun-gu’s abilities, should become the Guild Master,” she said pointedly. “For Daeyang Guild to stop hearing talk of nepotistic management, it’s not simply about the Choi family not taking the Guild Master position—rather, while utilizing the Choi family’s abilities, a new board of directors that can support them and look after the Daeyang family members must be established.”
Thanks to internet news outlets transcribing her words, her message spread like wildfire.
Her stance on Jeon Hwan-su was equally clear.
As someone she’d loved for a long time, she wanted to wish for his happiness, but she wasn’t sure if his sudden engagement announcement ahead of the Guild Master appointment was truly the path to happiness for him and his new fiancée, or merely a tool to realize Madam Min’s will. She simply hoped that the guild she’d devoted eight years to and the person she’d loved for eight years would make the right decision.
With each carefully crafted sentence distinguishing between Daeyang Guild and Madam Min, public opinion crystallized into this framework.
Choi Woo-jin’s Daeyang Guild, or Madam Min’s Daeyang Guild.
And while the public didn’t know, the guild members naturally had no choice but to choose the former.
Because Choi Woo-jin was the Rank 1 Hunter.
‘Power is everything.’
No matter how formidable Madam Min’s authority was in appointing the Guild Master, the collective action of guild members couldn’t be ignored.
Title: I’m an A-Rank Hunter and I’m transferring this time
Is Daeyang Guild insane?
Jeon Hwan-su vs Mo Jun-mi + Choi Woo-jin?
Obviously the latter, right?
Without Mo Jun-mi’s healing potions, why would anyone go close those dangerous dungeons and gates?
I heard the Hunter Management Office is getting reshuffled and a Dungeon Safety Division is being established—I’d rather just become a civil servant and milk the system.
I saw the news that Officer Ji Won-gil, who contributed to installing the new Hunter Management Bureau Chief, got promoted three ranks by presidential special order and now just sits in an administrative position making hundreds of millions, but I’m supposed to tank damage as an A-Rank and survive on cheap healing potions?
Why would he deliberately work with Jeon Hwan-su instead of pushing aside the number one ranker?
Hunter public opinion isn’t great these days either, so I think the Daeyang Guild’s image is going straight down the drain.
Comments
└I’m D-Rank, and honestly, if the Daeyang Guild collapses like this, I think being a civil servant is actually better.
└Isn’t there a good example of an F-Rank civil servant? The Taekwondo Girl. Setting aside the money, these days Lee Yu-ji seems more famous than Choi Jun-gu.
└└Choi Jun-gu is a criminal now anyway lololol
└└└Even so, calling him a criminal feels wrong; he’s a first-generation Hunter, a hero who saved the Korean Peninsula from crisis.
└└└└Who let Hunter Religion into the Daeyang Guild community? Mods, please remove these cultists.
Once all the guild members left, the Daeyang Guild was no longer the Daeyang Guild—it was just a small collection of hunters.
No matter how strong an S-Rank Jeon Hwan-su is, even an S-Rank can’t run raids alone.
You need porters, B-Rank hunters to draw aggro, crafting-type hunters, defensive hunters—you need other hunters filling each position to do their jobs.
No one lives in this world alone.
No matter how strong someone is, if ordinary people don’t exist, that strength means nothing.
Specialness shines within the ordinary.
In the end, it didn’t take long for Min Bo-hee to surrender completely.
And this arrived for me.
-Completion Reward: Part 2 Prologue
A completion reward.
I exhaled deeply while watching the video of Min Bo-hee announcing the new Daeyang Guild Master.
Part 2.
Yeah, well.
Let’s find out what’s really happening in this “Terrarium.”
I received the reward.
