He is a legendary prison guard. - Chapter 5
Episode 5: Is this reality?
As soon as he got home, Sihyeon sat down on the sofa without even washing up and checked his inventory.
There were two items in the inventory.
‘Why are there only two? Usually, armour and weapons are basic, and there are other accessories and equipment, so there are about 4 to 5 items.’
Even here, it looked unusual.
Still not disappointed, Sihyeon looked at the first item.
The appearance on the screen looked like an ordinary, blunt wooden club.
[Poachim’s Gansu Peak] <Normal> Hardness: 35 Sharpness: 0 Gansu Peak, which Poachim carved out of oak himself when he was young. If you get hit, it hurts quite a bit.
“her….”
What is this?
Sihyeon made a blank expression.
It’s normal. The items I have are normal.
It’s a normal thing to say that it’s a japtem among japtems!
… Is this guy really E-level?
I couldn’t hide the deep feeling of despair.
I heard that equipment is as important as individual abilities when raiding, but how do you hunt monsters with this?
Sihyeon, who was frozen like a stone for a moment, paused while trying to look at the next item.
‘No, no.’
I felt like I needed to reverently take a bath and check out the last item.
He washed his body thoroughly with warm water and then came out again.
“With real reverence this time.”
Sihyeon took a deep breath and checked the items.
‘knife?’
It was a really expensive-looking sword, with various jewel-like things shining brightly from the scabbard.
‘please.’
He slowly lowered his gaze to the explanation written below.
[Acureluts] <Legendary> Hardness: 83 Sharpness: 91 Engraved magic: Hellfire (cooldown 24 hours)—a masterpiece among masterpieces made with amantium by the legendary master craftsman Joachim. One of the five famous swords of the Leiter Continent. The strength and sharpness are nothing short of excellent, and the sword’s body is beautifully engraved with the magic of Hellfire, personally engraved by Archmage Hyris. It was used by a close friend who was executed by Poachim and is being kept by Poachim as a keepsake.
“Huh… What, what, is this?!”
Sihyeon’s eyes got even bigger.
Is this real? real? Is this really a reality?
Wow, legendary?
Really legendary?
A friend of mine earlier said that it starts with at least 100 million dollars… .
“….”
I felt like I was in a daze for about 20 minutes.
I was extremely shocked to find items in my inventory that were so prohibitively expensive that they were unrealistic.
This alone can make up a few houses. ?
This is enough money to buy a house for my father, mother, and younger sister, and even a building.
… No. Stay calm. Stay calm.
I was so excited about the amount that I forgot for a moment that I was an awakened person.
It came out to be written, so I have to write it.
Shouldn’t you be able to survive for a long time at that rough gate if you use at least a good weapon?
Moreover, if you think about it, these items were not items that individuals could easily dispose of.
Anyway, why does this pop up?
Why on earth does Legendary only appear for S-class awakened people?
Prestige, number of skills, and stats are all at the bottom, but a legendary appears in the inventory.
Why are there such horrible hybrids?
No, no.
If you recover all your abilities, will you be S-rank?
In surprise and anticipation, Sihyeon read the description of the item carefully again.
Poachim is keeping it as a memento that was used by a close friend who died after being executed by Poachim.
‘… Ah, it’s a friend’s.’
It ended up being good.
Now that I think about it, I remember saying that I became depressed after losing a precious friend before the quest appeared.
It seems like he has a very good friend.
There was a bit of disappointment on Sihyeon’s face, but he soon calmed down.
In any case, just getting a legendary item is a blessing that cannot be said to be the best.
‘Accurate’s.’
Si-Hyeon brought out Accuraerts in reality.
Upon closer inspection, the scabbard itself was startling.
Rather than arranging all kinds of jewels haphazardly, it was extremely sophisticated to arrange them in harmony with colour and space.
Sreung.
And the blade.
As soon as I pulled it out, it reflected the fluorescent light and scattered beautiful white light.
Unknown letters were densely and neatly engraved on the smooth sword body.
Even to an outsider, it is one of the most famous swords.
“Hey, this….”
Sihyeon’s expression darkened a little as he thought about something.
This isn’t something I’m advertising as a legendary item, and even a blind-eyed awakener couldn’t fail to see that it’s an incredible item.
If you take it out anywhere, both mice and birds will die without even realising it.
Not to monsters, but to awakened people.
“It’s too good, but it’s a problem.”
If I had the skills, nothing would have happened.
But right now, Sihyeon’s stats are the worst of the worst.
To a person without power, too much treasure was just a tool to hasten death.
“I don’t know; I guess I have no choice but to be careful.”
Sihyeon put the Accurates back into the inventory.
Perhaps because I was so excited earlier, I didn’t feel sleepy at all, even though it was past 11 o’clock.
So, Si-hyeon accessed the largest item sales site in Korea that Sang-gyu had told her about earlier.
“Hmm….”
After studying for about 30 minutes, Si-hyeon made an expression as if he understood something.
First of all, there were no unique-level items.
There seemed to be a separate sales channel, starting with Unique.
And there was nothing with a hardness or sharpness value over 70. Rare seemed to have a value below 70.
Another thing is that a heavy sword like a two-handed sword has high hardness but low sharpness, and conversely, a light and sharp sword like a scimitar has high sharpness but low hardness.
There was not a single sword as high in both hardness and sharpness as Acuraerts.
But on top of that, Hellfire.
I didn’t know much about magic, but I knew that Hellfire was a fairly powerful attack spell.
“Is this a so-called scam item?”
I have awakened, and I have a plethora of great items.
Now all that’s left is to become as strong as you can.
‘First, complete the quest and recover as much strength as possible, then obtain a license from the Hunter Association.’
Sihyeon was bored while making a plan like that.
When he thought about it, the power of awakening from this other world was strangely suited to him.
From jobs to quests.
If you were an ordinary person, completing the quest would have been a daunting task. This is because correctional facilities are not places where anyone can come and go as they please.
It was as if fate was leading me down a certain path.
“Er, I don’t know. Good is good.”
Saying that, Sihyeon lay down on the bed.
I wasn’t sleepy, but I had to force myself to sleep so I could work again tomorrow.
◈ ◈ ◈
“Are you listening well to the kids in our school building these days?”
Chief Park Young-hwan, who is in charge of Company 2 on the 5th floor and works with Si-hyeon, the assistant manager, said.
“It looks like we’ve got some order in place, right?”
“I think this is all because this cultist is good at catching kids, right?”
“Haha, what? I was just doing my job. I think it’s because the director was good at setting the mood for the school building.”
Sihyeon smiled and spoke humbly.
“Minus. I’ve been rolling around on this floor for so long, don’t you know it? I’ve seen this cult again, really.”
Prison guards also work in rotating positions. There is no set period of time, but you may change positions every few months or even years.
Sihyeon and Yeonghwan had also changed positions two months ago and are now working at Company 2 on the 5th floor. It was our first time working together.
So I had no choice but to judge the vision only based on the rumours I heard.
Although the Korean Prison is a fairly large correctional facility and has over 500 employees, it is the correctional facility where rumours spread faster than expected.
It was a place where basic and trivial personal stories were spread, regardless of who was good at work or who was not good at work.
So, it was a place where you were basically told to be careful about your daily behaviour.
Sihyeon’s reputation was that he was sincere, but his work was average.
So Yeonghwan’s expectations were exactly the same.
But why? After working directly with him, I learned that a prisoner with 3 years of experience knows how to deal with inmates. The technique for skillfully handling prisoners was to release them when releasing them and to hold them tightly when catching them. However, the timing is not set in stone and can only depend on experience.
However, a person with less than 3 years of experience was very good at maintaining the order of acceptance.
Yeonghwan had no choice but to revise his evaluation of Sihyeon.
“Thank you for a good look.”
Sihyeon had a smile on her face.
Prison guards say that their business is their faces and arms.
They sell their faces to inmates, and they also sell their faces to prison guards.
If an inmate was seen as an easy prison guard, it was not uncommon for rumours to spread to other inmates. Locked in a cell? That wasn’t even the slightest obstacle to stopping the rumour.
It doesn’t stop there.
Inmates go around and around. There are countless inmates who come back to commit crimes after being discharged. They spread rumours to new inmates that the prison guards are easygoing. The vicious cycle continues, making it difficult for prison guards to do their jobs.
On the other hand, rumours spread easily that that person is a formidable prison guard.
Prisoners give even a little to the prison guards.
This will make work easier in the future.
This is how important the facial features are.
The world of prison guards is the same.
If it is known that you have a childish personality and are bad at work, you will be disadvantaged in some way when assigning positions. A place like the General Affairs Department? It seems like it won’t last forever.
On the other hand, if you do a good job and give the impression that you are a good person, you will benefit when assigning positions and giving performance reviews.
Correctional officers often receive help from other departments while working.
Let’s say a reputable prison guard and a disreputable prison guard both call Yeongseon because they have a problem with the facility.
For a reputable prison guard, a day or two is enough.
What about prison guards with a bad reputation? one week?
You can go further.
Sihyeon was well aware of the importance of these facial features.
After awakening, Sihyeon succeeded in presenting a positive face to both inmates and fellow prison guards.
I completed quests, my reputation at work improved, and this was like eating pheasant and eating its eggs.
“Hey, Chief, I heard that Kim Man-deok is coming this way this afternoon. Is that correct?”
“Kim Man-deok? Oh, that bastard?”
Kim Man-deok, a representative problem inmate famous for habitual self-harm,.
He was admitted to the hospital for self-inflicted harm, was discharged, stayed in the punitive unit for a while, and was scheduled to be moved to Company 2 on the 5th floor today, according to the turn of the bomb attack.
“Uh, yeah. That bastard will be coming to the front this afternoon, I guess.”
“What I heard is correct. So, Chief, if that person comes to the front line later, can I interview him in the office?”
“Interview? With this cultist?”
Usually, interviewing inmates who came to the front was the responsibility of the chief in charge.
“Yes, I want to use my youthful spirit to have a proper talk with that person.”
Younghwan made a bewildered expression.
“Huh… That idiot is the kind of guy who ignores even the head of the security department when he goes around. Don’t you know this guy well? He’s a very famous guy. I don’t know if he’s just throwing a tantrum for no reason.”
“Whether you pay attention or not, aren’t you the kind of person who has a high chance of causing trouble in our company? I just wanted to talk about it.”
“Hmm… Well, okay, let’s do it. I’m also tired of talking to him, so I might be grateful to have this instructor take care of it.”
“Haha, does that happen?”
Sihyeon shouted “Nice” in her mind.
His eyes glanced at the quest window.
Poahim was the best jailer who could not be beat in taking charge of and rehabilitating habitual prisoners. [Now he wants to see his junior rehabilitate a habitual prisoner.]
[Quest: Let’s rehabilitate a prisoner with a habitual problem.]
Those words were written on the window.
