Civil Servant Hunter’S S-Class Resignation Log Chapter 242
Episode 242
* * *
It was only about half a day before Loki, the god of mischief, descended on Florida, USA and devastated the city.
By the time Ali Russo, who was in Canada, hurried to Florida with the help of the god Athena, it was already too late.
In the burning city, many awakened people died due to God Loki’s pranks. If President Alexander Roderick, who had protective qualities, had not stopped him until the end, not only Florida but also the surrounding area would have been swallowed up in fire.
Only when the gods of Asgard were lamenting, did Loki return with a satisfied look on his face, saying that he had had enough of the pranks.
Neither Athena nor Ali Russo could catch him like that. No matter how much of a problem he is to Asgard, if he and Athena, the highest god, fight to the death, then the entire United States will be devastated.
But no one was happy that the God of Mischief had returned.
A burning sky, a beach full of corpses and trash, an overturned farm, a city without any sense of life.
At the center of it all was President Alexander Rodrik, kneeling. His body, which stood in God Loki’s way until the very end, was not intact at all.
The leg he lost during the battle was nowhere to be seen, the spear was broken and lying around, and his entire body was covered in blood.
But his eyes were still looking up at the sky and he was clutching his shield tightly with both hands.
It was all thanks to his steadfastness that only Florida State ended up falling apart.
“Isn’t it a generous reward for sacrificing my life?”
Roderick smiled brightly as he saw Ali Russo approaching.
“Even though I couldn’t keep it safe. …A lot of people died, right?”
“Still, no one will regret it. Because there was someone in front of them who tried to protect them until the end. “You didn’t fight alone, right?”
“Was it so? “I hope so.”
The two people sitting side by side looked at the sky in silence for a moment. The sky above the collapsed city was colored deep red. The blazing fire was truly vivid.
“For this to be my last sight, I don’t really like it. “We have not yet been able to bring peace to the world.”
“….”
last.
Ali couldn’t yell at him not to sound weak. She knows too. Rodrik no longer lives.
Even if the heart is slightly missed, no one will be able to heal the hole in the chest unless Monique Ribery flies in right away.
“Captain, please watch over the world in my stead. “If I see it through the leader, I think I can alleviate some of this regret.”
“okay. Believe me. “I’m younger than you, so I’ll live longer, so I’m sure I’ll see a world where all monsters have disappeared.”
“ha ha ha! I envy that. I wish I were 10 years younger too. Still, we were good friends. “Thank you, Chief, for always supporting me.”
“You were just such a great person that I wanted to support you.”
“Let me tell you in advance. “It’s even more disappointing to hear it at the end.”
Roderick laughed weakly. His life was coming to an end.
Ali clenched his fists.
Rodrik and Ali were the first generation Awakened and the first L-Class. They were colleagues who joined hands to establish WDO and were the only friends who could have each other’s backs.
Ali’s feeling of loss from Roderick was so great that it could not be described in words.
“Please follow the leader.”
Roderick was also sad. I wanted to fight for world peace with this friend for a longer time. Leaving here early.
Still, because of Ali Russo, the steps to leave were not heavy.
“I didn’t feel lonely because I had a leader. “I’m really grateful so far.”
“I would like to express my deep gratitude to President Alexander Roderick for his dedication to the world.”
ha ha ha. A bright smile appeared on Roderick’s face as he heard Ali Russo say goodbye.
“Because of you, this death is not lonely. thank you.”
Tuk.
Rodrik’s death was explained in one simple word. His head, which had been pointing towards the sky until the end, fell to the floor as if he had no shame at all.
Ali looked at Roderick’s face with his eyes closed and laughed.
“You said you were disappointed, but you looked so satisfied.”
Ali tightly squeezed Rodrik’s hand, who had not let go of his shield even at the moment of his last breath. My hands were still warm, showing signs of battle.
But this will be the last warmth.
“My colleague my friend. “Rest in peace.”
Leave the rest to me.
Ali turned his head to the sky that Roderick had been looking at until the end. A drop of her tear, which no one could see, fell down her cheek and onto her clasped hands.
It was the death of Alexander Rodrik, who had worked for world peace for 13 years.
* * *
【The ‘door to space’ is slowly closing. Horsepower supply is interrupted. The door to the 10th floor of the labyrinth is completely closed.】
Four days passed and the door to the 10th floor was closed. The damage was not as severe as on the 9th floor.
But people’s shock was nothing compared to that time.
News of the death of Director-General Alexander Rodrik, who was respected by people around the world and who established WDO and contributed to world peace before anyone else.
People shed tears and mourned his death. They gathered in front of the huge memorial erected in Florida, which he protected until the end, to say their final goodbyes to him.
As the sadness subsided, new concerns were thrown around the world.
The problem was that there was no one to take over the position of WDO president, which became vacant due to the death of President Roderick.
As it is a position that requires coercion on each country for the sake of peace, an L-class person must take the position, but each person’s individuality is so distinct that Roderick was unable to decide on a successor until the day he left.
It was natural for people who couldn’t overcome their worries to keep an eye on the WDO headquarters.
However, despite their worries, the expressions on the faces of the L-class people gathered were just sad.
“I don’t know why I asked you to gather together. “Anyway, there is a certain number of people who can take on the role of president.”
Russia’s Viktor picked his ear with an annoyed face. Ali Russo sneered.
“It’s not that scary, Viktor, if you act so arrogantly with those swollen eyes.”
“Everyone shut up!”
Victor slammed the table with a red face. It was no secret that he secretly cried when he heard the news of Roderick’s death.
“No matter who it is, they won’t be as interesting as that old man. “Oh, it’s not fun.”
Julian, who was lying limp on the table, grumbled. Julian, who was Rodrik’s biggest annoyance, lived a life of no fun after he left. If Roderick had seen it, he might have been a little moved.
“that’s right. “I’m a fucking idiot.”
A melancholy voice came from the other side. Monik, who was banging his head on the table, blamed himself the whole time, saying that he could have saved Rodrik if he had been there.
As a healer, I know best that I cannot save everyone, but because of that, the person who suffers the most is also a healer.
“You don’t need to listen to the opinion of an idiot like me, so you can pass.”
“The person who sent Mr. Ribéry to Europe was President Roderick. If you keep calling him an idiot, it’s like smearing shit on President Roderick’s face. So stop blaming yourself.”
Then Oliver poignantly comforted Monique.
“The president will not blame anyone. They say he left smiling, so let’s all pray for him to be in peace.”
Oliver’s face showed a lot of tears as he said that, but it also showed that he was trying to overcome his sadness somehow.
Ali nodded strongly, saying that what Oliver said was correct.
“Okay, everyone, follow Oliver’s example and come to your senses. In that sense, Oliver Ross.”
“Yes, Captain.”
“Starting tomorrow, you will be the president of WDO.”
“…yes?”
yes? yes?
Oliver trembled. When I asked him what he meant, he was filled with trembling.
“I’m the next president. “What kind of nonsense!”
“It makes no sense. “Then who else can be the president here besides you?”
Ali asked in an absurd voice. Oliver urgently looked around the conference room. And then I realized that I was the only one surprised.
“Why are you looking at me like my eyes are falling out? “Then should I become president?”
Garcia, who happened to make eye contact with me, spoke bluntly.
Garcia is WDO president? It was nonsense. Oliver trembled as if he had heard a terrible sound.
“Even if it’s like Mr. Garcia, even if it’s like Mr. Julian, Mr. Ivanovic, or Mr. Wihu, aren’t there a lot of other people too? Mr. Ribéry is there too.”
“I am qualified too. “Because I hold all your lives in my hands.”
Monik answered, her head still stuck.
“But Oliver, none of us are as just as you or strive for world peace.”
Oliver Ross is upright enough to be chosen by Michael, the strongest of the archangels. He was truly the only candidate to succeed Roderick as president.
“I agree too.”
“I agree too.”
“me too.”
“Me too.”
The four L-class members on the Korean side raised their hands in unison. Oliver looked quite embarrassed.
“Aren’t Yoon Seo-ra and Kang Se-jun more than capable of taking on this position?”
“I can’t. Because my family comes first. You saw it this time. As soon as I heard that my brother was in danger, I ran without looking back. The safety of my people is more important than world peace. “If you are disappointed in me, I can’t help it.”
Seora raised her hand. Oliver quickly shook his head as he shrugged his shoulders.
“I wasn’t disappointed at all. Running to the people you love is like an instinct. I understand.”
“Because you understand that, it is right for Mr. Oliver to become the next president. Please take care of me, second president.”
When Seora smiled brightly, Oliver was greatly embarrassed. This isn’t it.
“Then it’s Kang Se-jun! How many times has Mr. Kang Se-Jun repeated his life already in order to bring peace to the world? “I think Kang Se-jun is truly suited to the position of president.”
“Me too.”
“Why on earth!”
“I just don’t want to do it.”
“….”
Oliver pursed his lips as if speechless. Soon laughter spread throughout the conference room. It was the first time everyone had laughed like this since Rodrik’s death.
Oliver was the only one not laughing.
“Of course, I am also working for world peace. It’s not just me. Although each of us has different priorities, in the end we are all fighting for peace. “But you are the only one here trying to see the world without prejudice.”
Everyone nodded at Kang Se-jun’s words.
“Then who here is against Oliver Ross becoming the second president?”
No one raised their hand. Of course, everyone had Oliver in mind from the beginning.
“Then, with unanimous approval, I hereby declare that Oliver Ross has become the second president.”
Ali Russo banged the table three times as if he were a judge. Everyone except Oliver clapped in congratulations.
“If Mr. Oliver becomes president, everyone around the world who is trembling with anxiety will feel relieved. “Please take care of me, President.”
Oliver ended up covering his face with both hands after hearing Seo-ra’s words of congratulations.
What can I do? I have to follow what has already been decided.
Moreover, in his opinion, among these people, he was the only one who would follow in Rodrik’s footsteps and dedicate himself to world peace.
“…I will also dedicate myself to the world so as not to tarnish the name of Alexander Roderick, who founded WDO.”
Oliver stood up and bowed deeply towards everyone who pushed his back.
