199 – Nymphs have also begun training! #3

“Nymphs have always had to prepare for winter since ancient times… ! Naturalistic nymphs are said to have overcome the cold by hibernating in the winter by finding sturdy caves or digging burrows under trees… !”

Oinoi said that he had hibernated quite a bit.

It is said that they survived until spring by huddled together in caves with squirrels and other animals, sharing the warmth.

But last winter, Oinoi could not hibernate.

“When I came to my senses, I realized that Oinoi had fallen into this strange world full of tall buildings and water gushing from the faucets… !”

The image of Oinoi rummaging through a trash can in the cold winter, unable to bear his hunger, still vividly appears in my mind.

Of course, Oinoi has adapted well to the 21st century now, so life is very different from back then.

It is no wonder that people who have experienced a difficult experience always have the obsession that they could fall into that situation again.

“This oinoi is doubtful whether this boiler will run well… ! The owner of the house wants to check the boiler… !”

Due to Oinoi’s fuss, I had to check fairly early on whether the boiler was working well.

This well house was a remodeled old house, so there was nothing strange about it even though it had some minor problems. However, the boiler ran smoothly, perhaps thanks to Honey Ant Angangi’s regular maintenance.

“The winter in this rabbit-shaped land, the Korean Peninsula, is so cold that Oinoi even thinks about it… ! This Oinoi bought a lot of food to survive the winter… !”

Oinoi stopped by the new convenience store in Taecho Village and bought a lot of all kinds of snacks using the whispering coins.

The way she was shoving the bready snacks into her room looked exactly like a squirrel carrying leaves or rags into its burrow.

“If you put a lot of nitrogen-rich snacks in a room like this, it is clear that the temperature in the room will be properly adjusted… ! I bought a lot of chocolate to increase my calories… !”

Bbangbang-.

Oinoi’s room began to fill up with all kinds of snacks and chocolates, as well as fur clothes and blankets spread out on the floor.

And Oinoi boasted about these processes and scenes to another nymph, Choris.

“It is clear that no nymph can prepare for winter as thoroughly as this cucumber… ! This Oinoi has piled up enough food and warm clothes to give Sister Coris a room if she comes to visit. !”

Nymphs are said to be very proud of helping other nymphs. This is because it shows that she is a great nymph who can afford to help others.

Soon Coris put her hands on his cheeks and shouted loudly.

“Ahh… ! Oinoiya, this is so amazing… ! If we have this many snacks and clothes, we might be able to hold a great nymph festival until the end of winter… !”

“Then let’s all dance the nymph dance of joy together…” !”

Doomchit, Doomchit-.

Oinoi and Coris danced the nymph dance of joy, spinning round and round.

Lee Jin-ah, who was looking at the scene, said.

“So what kind of training do you do? “If I want to raise my rank to Grade A, I won’t have enough time to relax like this.”

That was correct.

In order to help Jina Lee reach A rank, I was thinking of various curricula, but the simplest one was practical experience.

If there was a reason why Lee Jin-ah, who has high potential, could not rise to the rank, it could be said that it was because she worked at a moving center, so there was a large gap in Awakened activities.

Therefore, you need hard practical experience that can fill in the gaps so far.

“Kkungkkwang, Angang, Kwangkwang, you all come and see.”

I gathered the animals together, excluding Miong, who was charging.

And then I stroked their heads with my fingers.

“You guys have to work hard.”

As the awakened people navigated the cracks, they would absorb the mana spread there into their bodies.

As such experiences accumulate, the mana reserves in the body increase significantly, and this is now conveniently called awakening rank up.

However, the place called ‘Crack’ was not a place where I could just go if I wanted to. Unless you have a mysterious lighthouse like Achilles.

“So what I thought was to create an artificial and artificial environment. Guys like Kkungkkung, Kwangkkwang, and Angang have the qualifications to be considered the leaders of the crack.”

Strictly speaking, animals such as dog squirrels and honey ants were considered monsters. It is not called a monster because it is a scary and ugly animal, but because it has mana in its body.

A fight against monsters that use mana.

It should be enough to give Lee Jin-ah enlightenment to her level.

“Then, we need to deal with you all seriously!”

I paid close attention to my partner animals.

Soon, the squirrel, which purred and fluffed up her fur, lunged at Jin-ah Lee.

“Oh, hey, wait a minute…” !”

Bang!

Keongkeongi’s body slam exploded into Jinah Lee’s body.

Lee Jin-ah raised her hand and blocked the attack with her elastic arm, but perhaps because she was caught off guard, her body stumbled greatly.

“Hey! “I said just a moment!”

━Zuji… !

At that time, Angangi grabbed Jinah Lee’s ankle.

Lee Jin-ah fell to the floor as she was, losing her balance, and Bang Kwang climbed on top of her and lifted and lowered her front legs to her left and right.

━Hiooong… !

It looked like a declaration of victory.

I said to Lee Jin-ah, who was sitting on the floor, holding out her hand.

“What do you do if you lose this badly? Veteran A-rankers may use more diverse and powerful techniques than the Kung-Keng or Ang-Ang attacks. “You have to prepare well.”

“A-rankers are forming their own teams?”

Han Ju-ryeon frowned slightly at the story she heard from her secretary Oh Eun-hee.

Pajik-. That caused a small spark to fly, and Oh Eun-hee pressed her palm against her hair, which was tinged with static electricity, to make it settle down again.

It was quite common for static electricity to arise depending on Han Ju-ryun’s mood, so I was used to it.

‘But it seems to be under control recently?’

Han Ju-ryeon was an awakened person in the electric world.

He was such a powerful force that he was nicknamed Noejeong (雷 霆).

If there is a downside, it is that it is difficult to control himself due to his strong power.

There was another weakness, but it was top-secret information known only to those involved.

“Mmm, what kind of potion is that Illinois made?” ? If you like it, invest in the Illinois coin that Illinois will issue… !”

From noble mtl dot com

Han Ju-ryeon’s abilities were smoothly controlled with the potion created by Nymph Illinois.

Although the power was slightly lowered, it was possible to make detailed adjustments, so the benefit of the lowered power was fully achieved.

Secretary Oh Eun-hee thought that this was Han Ju-ryun’s chance to achieve first place in A rank and move up to S rank.

Then, Han Ju-ryeon would be given more assistant secretaries, and Oh Eun-hee herself might be promoted to chief of staff.

‘I will be able to rest after leaving all the troublesome work to my new secretary and subordinates… !’

Oh Eun-hee was competent as a secretary, but she was quite snobbish as a person. He liked money more than working itself, and he preferred playing and eating whenever possible.

‘Han Joo-ryun, I will feel comfortable only if you become S-rank!’

In that sense, Oh Eun-hee worked hard to investigate various things in order to make Han Ju-ryeon an S rank.

“This is the current 30 A-rankers… , there are 28 members excluding Kang Do-hee and Ma Wang-jun. Looking at this, you can see who contacted whom to form a team and which factions formed an alliance.”

Zek-.

Oh Eun-hee attached photos to the bulletin board attached to her office and supplemented the explanations with lines or handwritten letters.

In an instant, a complicated web-like network of forces and relationships was formed.

Among them, there were some who floated like lonely islands without collaborating with anyone.

Haildo was ranked 28th in Class A.

Han Ju-ryeon asked Oh Eun-hee.

“Have you not heard that Haildo has been in contact with other A-rankers?”

“Not really… ? Instead, I heard that you were training with Jinah Lee, who was our classmate.”

Zek-.

Oh Eun-hee handed out a document containing various information about Lee Jin-ah to Han Ju-ryeon. Han Ju-ryeon, who had been looking at it for a while, noticed the amount of magical power that Jin-ah Lee possessed.

Secretary Oh Eun-hee felt the gaze and skillfully explained.

“In last month’s measurement, the amount of mana almost reached Class A. Like Hail-do, Lee Jin-ah also grows quickly. Also….”

Jojaljojal-.

As Oh Eun-hee explained this and that, Han Ju-ryeon was thinking about the story of Ha Il-do rejecting her proposal for collaboration.

It must have been a good opportunity for Haildo, but there was something I couldn’t understand why he rejected it.

But now everything is clear.

‘I can’t believe you turned me down to hold hands with Lee Jin-ah. Hail, it seems like you are the only one who doesn’t know what the consequences of that choice will be…’

Ding dong-.

Soon, the bell in Han Joo-ryeon’s office rang.

When Oh Eun-hee came to her senses and looked outside the office door, a package had been delivered.

“What is this?”

When I opened the package, I saw that it contained something that looked like an invitation.

The invitation said:

# # #

“This is to inform you that from the time you read this letter, you are eligible to participate in “A-Rank Survival.” “We inform you in advance that if you refuse to participate, you may be disadvantaged in future ranking adjustments.”

I opened the delivered package and read the letters and letters contained within it.

It was an invitation announcing that I had been invited to something called “A-Rank Survival.”

The invitation included not only a letter but also a piece of paper with a specific address written on it.

I thought it meant that “A Rank Survival” Would be held at these coordinates.

“Is A-rank battle survival?”

Participation or non-participation is left to the individual’s choice, but it seems that the individual is responsible for any disadvantages that may arise in case of non-participation.

Of course, in my case, my goal was to participate unconditionally.

However, I focused more on the “Place” Where the game was held.

“This is where the nuclear power plant accident occurred.”

It was a coastal city where Shin Kori Unit 10, a nuclear power plant, was installed, where Kang Cheol-min prevented a catastrophe by sacrificing one of his arms to manipulate the ultra-high temperature control device.

I heard that it is now abandoned and has become a level 0 restricted area where no one can enter without permission.

It turned into a ghost town, right?

I heard that it is also called “Ghost Town.”

To have an A-rank battle in a place like that.

Surely there is no better place than an abandoned city for A-rankers to unleash their firepower?

The nuclear power plant has been completely dismantled, so there are no risk factors.

Therefore, it was a moment when I could clearly feel how much the government was hoping for the ranking change and training of the A-rankers.

With that feeling, time passed quickly and the remaining time became 4 days, 3 days, 2 days, 1 day, and finally the same day.

D-day.

I asked Lee Jin-ah, who came by truck.

“Jin Lee, are you ready? “Have you been recognized for promotion to A rank?”

“Just ride quickly.”

While saying that, Jinah Lee handed me her ID card for awakened people with A rank written on it.

That grinning expression seemed quite confident.

“Then let’s go. To Ghost Town.”
