History's Strongest Manager Chapter 23

Translator’s Ramblings:

Hey folks, I’ve being trying to come up with ways to bring in more readers. Releasing as much as I can and hoping people get attracted by it on the releases page works but is a tad too passive to my liking.

So I decided to link the Last Chapter Discussion thread every chapter and ask for you guys to leave a comment there if possible. While I don’t know how effective that would be there’s no harm in increasing the novel’s visibility…

Comment on the Forums and help us get more readers!

As always I will try to not have these things steal the focus. Just gonna have it after the usual ramblings, staying there silently urging you to comment and judging everyone who ignores it.

Also, a release on Tuesday? What could that mean?

Happy reading!

Seo Aran’s Hunter certificate was already put in place by the Knight Temple and no additional work was necessary. In Choi Gina’s case team leader Song filled out all relevant documents, and Seol Yeong accompanied her in acquiring an unranked Hunter certificate. Categorized as a Pure Hunter, a kind of smoke-screen tactic.

Choi Gina, who once had a heaven defying career, was henceforth an officially recognized F Rank Hunter. Although making full use of her reputation in the Hunter industry will need to be postponed, once a certain degree of reputation was formed, even if she was discovered to be a Awaken later, they would be able to finish the abilities report in any case using her already official Hunter status as a cover. Soon, Choi Gina would be able to avoid going in the so dreaded Awaken facility.

Should the military try to use force with the intention of expropriating Choi Gina, the Management would be able to file a lawsuit against it.

In various aspects, it was a method only someone like Kang-Joon with deep knowledge in the field would know.

“Starting now you two will become partners. Introduce yourselves, and get to know each other slowly.”

In Hero Management’s Office, the four – Seo Aran, Choi Gina, Choi Kang-Joon, and Seol Yeong – sat around a circular table that wasn’t used in quite a while. Choi Gina had an expression as if she was slightly afraid, while Seo Aran was looking at her expressionlessly as if she didn’t care at all.

“I am Choi Gina… 24 years old… Please treat me well.”

Unlike the high-spirit she displayed upon becoming the Magical Girl, Choi Gina was a little passive and introvert.

“Seo Aran, eighteen, class is Knight.”

Both were equally stiff in their own way. Seo Aran understood Hero Management was no longer on its prime. She had come solely because of Kang-Joon, she obviously wouldn’t have said yes to a company of such small-scale otherwise.

Choi Gina, as well, had come because of Kang-Joon’s knowledge regarding an Avatar’s abilities, and didn’t have a big interest in hunting itself.

“I will first give some explanations. Reviewing all the contract contents… Everyone will henceforth become an affiliated Hunter working under Hero Management. Although searching for jobs for the Hunters is not under my jurisdiction, I will be giving my maximum to handle all those matters and I plan to take all action necessary to deal with them.”

As it was the first time Seol Yeong would be explaining those matters in earnest, Kang-Joon watched Seol Yeong with a serious expression as she explained while unfolding the contract.

“If you can’t occupy a hunting spot during 1 month our management guarantees, as we spoke before, a base pay of US $2,000 after-tax. However, there is some managements questions that come in place before that. Whenever you go the role of a management is simple. Search and choose places for the Hunter to hunt, support, and take care of any necessary minor matters related to the Hunter welfare as their proxy.

That is, of course, the most basic things. Suppose any of you destroyed a shop or public establishment while hunting. In that case, if you are caught in the middle of any legal actions, our management will take care of all the issues in your stead. There are management companies who house their own law teams, however, we at Hero Management had to close our law-firm because of various circumstances and are currently entrusting these incident matters to a third-party.

Likewise if you are on vacation you might want to rent a house, reserve a hotel or flight, or if all you need is a workplace or training center all you have to do is contact us, that sort of thing. That said, it is illegal for a management to forcefully employ you to areas that doesn’t match your levels. Of course, this is a criterion only applicable for C Rank or higher…
The norm is for the person in question to be deployed to scenes one level lower than their rank. If one is a C Rank then a D Rank situation, and if they are of B Rank an C Rank situation. Of course, even though the rules in a S Rank situation, or higher, are an exception, the way that is handled is complicated so there will be no problem if you don’t understand that part.”

Seo Aran was a D Rank based on the Knight certification, and Choi Gina was unranked. In Choi Gina’s case with her real power exceeding the S Rank slightly that held no particular meaning, while Seo Aran was granted a rank lower than her actual prowess on purpose as she had no experience in a real fight . If it is a rank F scene, those two alone are enough to overpower anything on it.

“Every resource you obtain will be split with a 7:3 ratio. Cores, Aether, Cubes, anything. In this case we can confidently say that is our management advantage.”

Seol Yeon said taking a glance at the two once.

“The 3 stakes from the share Hero Management gets will pay all yours taxes, income taxes, as well as any other special costs that might arise. Therefore, if you acquire 10 F-Class cores, that 7 will go completely to you, and the remaining 3 will be disposed as money in order to settle all your share of taxes in bulk. However, there is something you should keep in mind pertaining to this.”
