Bloodlust...
Looking around himself Ahn wasn't sure where the bloodlust was coming from, but he'd better find out quickly or he'll be forced to kill a hunter. This wouldn't be good as he is in the WTG building as of this moment. Being in the center of a hunter infested building with one seeking his death wasn't a good spot to be in, one wrong move can force him to go under investigation leading to a decrease in his ability to spend time leveling up.
Quickly Ahn employed his observation type skill sets to see if he could pinpoint the perpetrator in his vicinity. Finding the person and squashing the bloodlust would be in his best interest as of this moment. But using his skills he couldn't find anyone that was looking at him weird or had any signs of negativity towards him.
[Warning: Bloodlust is increasing, quest will be issued if not resolved soon]
Just then the elevator to the floor opened up and with it all hell broke loose.
"AHN SANGMIN! WHERE IS THAT BASTARD!"
A burly middle aged man rushed into the office area like a raging bull. The man himself wasn't very liked in the guild already due to having conflicts with leadership so to save themselves a headache and potential lawsuit due to his anger management issues they had let him go.
"BASTARD! COME OUT HERE!"
"Someone call security, this man is crazy."
"Where is the front desk... why did they let him in?"
Alongside the angry individual, the office workers were panicking. It wasn't everyday that someone broke into a guild, especially a top rated guild like WTG, you just didn't do it unless you wanted to die either physically or financially; mentally and spiritually you would already be gone to even attempt.
Okay, so that rando was the one that set off the mission..
"Hey Hyun, who is that?"
Lucky for Ahn, his desk was set in a corner of the office far from the elevator entrance. That didn't mean that he was entirely hidden from the front area though, so it wouldn't be long till the intruder noticed him.
"Mr. Ahn, that would be the B ranker that we let go earlier this month. He was a solid bruiser, but he couldn't get along with the leadership structure. I think he had the unique skill: Berserker. His name is Go-Won, awakened about a year ago and has helped to clear about 150 gates ranging from D rank to A rank."
Wow, if only he didn't have an attitude problem..
"I don't think anyone could handle him then, all of our security is B rank or lower on this floor. How long till someone from the upper floors gets here?"
Boom
Flying close to his head a chair flew from across the room. Looking from the chair to the front of the office, Ahn could see Go-Won breathing heavy with his arm stretched out while standing in a throwing position.
"BASTARD, COME OUT AND FACE ME LIKE A MAN"
Looking down towards his shoulder, Ahn could see some dust that had fell from the ceiling accumulating. Slowly standing up from his chair, Ahn dusted off his shoulders while loosening up his tie.
"Hyun, what's the rule on killing hunters that become violent and cause disturbances?"
"..."
Hyun sat there with a flabbergasted look on his face. Why did his boss all of a sudden look macho and cool, also when did he get so much taller and leaner. Did working out with hunters produce that much of a difference?
Ahn looked towards his second in command who was just sitting there looking dazed in his direction.
"...Earth to Hyun! Hello? What's are the bylaws?"
Why must I be stuck with this starstruck dingus... at least he knows how to grab breakfast correctly. That should be enough for a second in command when I am this awesome.
[Host, bloodlust is getting critical. Please deal with the intruder as soon as possible]
I guess even you don't want me to kill unnecessarily, I take back some of what I say about you being a dumb system
[...]
"Oh.. yes. As long as the hunter is proving to be a threat to civilians and cannot be reasoned with, the hunter has at that point forfeited both their hunter license and life, any force may be used to deal with the hunter by both civilians and hunters alike."
"Hmmm good"
Turning towards Go-Won, Ahn walked out from behind his desk with his hands in the air like he was surrendering himself. For all involved they wanted to jump out and push their Chief behind his desk until someone could come deal with the lunatic threatening them. But due to the amount of fear cruising through them at this moment, no one dared to move a muscle.
"Go-Won right?"
"OH THE BASTARD REMEMBERS MY NAME... YOU, WHO PROMISED ME THAT I WOULD MAKE A LOT OF MONEY JUST TO HAVE ME KICKED OFF THE TEAM DUE TO SOME WEAKWILLED LOSERS COMPLAINING.. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF? HUH?"
"Ummm, I don't think 4 complaints from 3 different A rankers is something to take lightly. You weren't a team player, plain and simple. So if you could direct your anger towards them that would be nice."
"YOU THINK I'M AN IDIOT... YOU JUST DON'T LIKE ME BECAUSE I AM STRONGER THAN YOU, GET MORE MONEY THAN YOU, AND WOMEN LIKE ME MORE THAN YOU.. SO YOU SABOTAGED MY CAREER SO YOU COULD KEEP MS. HANA ALL TO YOURSELF"
[...]
Right, so this man is delusional as well...
"Hey.. k..k...keep me out of t.this. I don't even know you that well.."
Wow, Hana is a brave soul.. but lets see if that takes the bloodlust down...
"WHAT.. BUT YOU.. You gave me a towel.. remember.. and that time you gave a bottle of water.. that means you care for me right?"
Yup, this man is delusional with anger issues.. this cannot be good for society
"Go-Won, its part of my job. Hunter wellness and... and upkeep comes with this job. Why would you think I liked you.."
"But... but you smiled at me each time..."
"ITS CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!"
Should I just sit back down.. I think Hana has this in the bag
"What.. but who.. how.. when did that happen?"
"Chief Ahn tells us to do that so we can build a team bond with the hunters we are in charge of.."
"OH SO THIS IS THAT BASTARDS FAULT HUH, WELL EITHER WAYS IM GONNA KILL YOU.. ONE FOR LEADING ME ON AND ANOTHER FOR FIRING ME!"
Oh boy... you just can't reason with idiots..
[Quest: You are being targeted. Eliminate all enemies targeting you. Enemies left: 1]
[Reward: XP = 2 Levels | Magical Staff | Survival]
[Failure: Death]

Yup, I take back the take back, YOU STILL SUCK SYSTEM!! #&*$ *$*(# (#*#(
[...]
"So.. look Go-Won, I tried to reason with you.. well Ms. Hana tried to reason with you, but you're just an idiot, so don't take this personally."
Go-Won stopped for a second because he knew that Ahn was just a powerless civilian, so why did the words that come out of his mouth right then sound so threatening.
[Find out on the next episode of...]
Shut up.. when did you break the I'm ignoring you spell...
[When Host thought of it subconsciously, this system is amazing huh Host]
Don't get a big head..
"Shackle"
With a gripping motion, Ahn reached out and froze the space around Go-Won, holding him in place alongside everything within a two feet diameter around him.
"Huh... WAIT.... WHY CAN'T I MOVE.."
"Well the interesting thing is Go-Won, you thought that I was a defenseless little sheep ready for the slaughterhouse. You came in here thinking you could bully me.. well.. looks like the outcome is a bit different than what you thought huh... any last words?"
"WAIT... WAIT... WAIT.. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING... LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHI..."
"Combust"
With a snap of his fingers, Ahn utilized the magic already flowing into the space holding Go-Won to light him on fire.
"Aghhhh.... RAAAHHHH"
While still on fire Go-Won activated his unique skill Berserker. With a reduction in damage and increase size he was able to tank the damage that would kill most if not all B ranks right away. Locking eyes with Ahn, the only thing that could be seen was pure hatred.
"Aghaaaahhh"
With a lot of effort Go-Won charged at Ahn from across the room, charging at the object of his fury. There was nothing in Go-Won's eyes but the image of running into Ahn and folding him like a pancake.
"Hmmm, Wall"
Ahn put up an ice wall blocking Go-Won's charge at him. Although the ice wasn't thick it was backed by a lot of mana. Ahn wasn't sure how his skills would stack up against others, and even though he was an A ranker, that didn't mean that he was confident in his abilities against other hunters quite yet. So for Ahn, this was more than putting an arrogant wannabe in his place, Go-Won was his entry test into seeing how his skills translated in a one-on-one fight against another hunter.
"AHN SANGMIN... YOU BASTARD, FACE ME LIKE A MAN"
Unlike earlier there was some unease in Go-Won's voice. Could this nobody that climbed the corporate rank ladder through sucking up really have awakened, and of all the times to do that.. why now?
"What makes you think you pose even a bit of a challenge to me right now?"
"I'M A CERTIFIED PLAY... ahem... I'M A CERTIFIED HUNTER WHILE YOU'RE JUST A DESK JOCKIE"
He was about to say certified playboy wasn't he... no wonder the dude doesn't get any huzz
[Correct]
And how would you know this? Who made you... -_-
[Confidential.. Host should focus on the fight. The opponent seems more agitated due to your nonresponsive attitude]
Did I just emote...
[Host is imagining things]
"ARE YOU IGNORING ME FOR AN INTERNAL MONOLOGUE"
Can we check his sense level...
"YOU'RE DOING IT AGAIN..."
"Okay pal, listen, this doesn't have to end poorly.... oh wait, I think it does. Suffocate"
"Huh.. why wou...."
Gasp
And just like that Stop-Loser..
[Host that isn't his name]
...Ahn's whetstone passed out. But sadly for him that wasn't the end of his missery.
"Ice Spear"
With a thud the ice spear went straight through Go-Won chest. Having been knocked unconscious his unique skill also stopped working, leaving him exposed for the final nail in his long awaited coffin.
"..."
The whole office just stood there and watched as Ahn brushed non existent dust of his hands while looking around.
"Well, we're gonna need a clean up crew, and someone call legal"
"CHIEF, WHEN DID YOU AWAKEN!? AND WHY ARE YOU BEING SO CASUAL ABOUT THIS!?"
To say his team was surprised was an understatement. Although Gon-Whatever didn't hold a high rank, he was still a formidable opponent and not someone that people below top tier A rank could manage to defeat on their own easily.
"Ah.. shi..."
