55

“I never expected to see you like this. No, maybe it was natural?”

“Isn’t it Gaon from the Blue Dragon team?”

“It’s an honor to remember you.”

“It’s bittersweet if I forget the person who held the knife to my neck.”

Gaon couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly at Park Hyunsoo’s sarcasm.

Were you this strong?

The media revered Park Hyunsoo as a hero, and they knew that Captain Robben, the commander of the artillery, had officially promoted him to an S-Class Hunter.

But Gaon had seen him a month ago.

Park Hyunsoo at that time was very strong, and he thought that he could hopefully become an S-class hunter.

But something is wrong with this.

‘How can a person grow so much in one month?’

I remember the militant look back then.

Among S-class hunters, he was determined to fight against Haxen Baldur, one of the three strongest hunters.

At the time, I thought it was just a kid intoxicated with power.

‘This is a different story.’

As an A-class hunter, he could not even guess the limits of Park Hyunsoo, but his level was not much different from the sense of discomfort from other S-class hunters.

As Gaon kept her mouth shut and observed Park Hyunsoo, Park Hyunsoo got up from her seat with a gasp and smiled.

“what. then it was then I don’t really care about it, so don’t worry about it.”

“Thank you so much.”

“Thank you. Rather, the people gathered here are hunters hired by the association, right? Jeong Ye-ra.”

Park Hyunsoo only spoke nonsense to Gaon, but spoke up to other hunters as usual.

It was absurd to Gaon, but the relationship between the two of them wasn’t good from the start, so I couldn’t bet it.

“Yes, you bear the mighty spirit.”

Master Lim answered with his eyes shining brightly.

Park Hyunsoo’s eyes were very burdensome.

“Hey, don’t use a strange modifier. This is Park Hyunsoo.”

“Yes, Park Hyunsoo, carrying a huge spirit.”

[Fu ha ha ha!]

Chungyeong’s laughter made Park Hyunsoo even more annoyed.

“Please don’t use strange words in front of me.”

“haha. It’s a joke.”

I don’t know if this is real or a joke.

Park Hyunsoo saw the Blue Dragon team except for Gaon.

Everyone was looking at themselves with a slightly tense look.

“At that time, due to the circumstances, we couldn’t greet each other properly, are you all happy?”

“Oh, yes. nice to meet you.”

“Long time no see.”

“long time no see.”

nod-

The hawk just nodded his head slightly without saying a word.

When the greeting time was over, Gaon asked.

“Are you leading us?”

“What suddenly?”

“I mean, are you the captain?”

“no. I got an offer, but I turned it down.”

“Why?”

Gaon asked, wrinkling one of his eyes.

At this point, no one is more suited to the job as a blacksmith than Park Hyunsoo.

He is a newly born hero in the Republic of Korea, and his qualifications were sufficient as an S-class hunter.

But Park Hyunsoo says it doesn’t matter.

“What matters is experience.”

Park Hyunsoo repeated his words, clenching his fists.“But I have very little experience. I don’t think it’s going to lead everyone well.”

“Then who will lead the troops? Is Ha Yoo-rak coming?”

“no way. He is the patient, the patient.”

“Then who… … .”

“You can do it.”

Park Hyunsoo pointed his finger at Gaon.

“I haven’t talked to the association yet, but do you know that there are many cases of successful missions as the leader of the Blue Dragon team and the leader in all kinds of operations?”

He had a strong image of a leader he could trust when he said ‘Gaon of the Blue Dragon Team’.

In fact, the success rate of his mission as a captain was close to 80%.

Regardless of the abilities of the Awakened, the experience points were different in terms of command. However, it doesn’t make sense for Park Hyunsoo to take on the leader because it’s an S rank.

More than anything.

“I think it would be better to move alone.”

“Exclusive?”

“i See. Definitely Park Hyunsoo.”

“ Mr. Hyunsoo is enough.”

“all right. For Hyunsoo, it would be more efficient to move alone than to be tied up somewhere.”

Ga-on was also convinced by Dosa Lim’s remarks.

“Did you talk to the association?”

“no. I never thought you would be there.”

“is it.”

“It’s like that.”

“Then let me ask you something. Can you trust me?”

Park Hyunsoo tilted his head not knowing what Gaon was talking about.

“Literally. You told me to be the captain, but actually, you are the strongest here.”

“You just told me. It doesn’t matter.”

The ability to lead someone doesn’t come from strength.

If a competent commander had strength, it would be a plus, but the absence of it did not mean that his commanding ability would go anywhere.

On the contrary, if you entrust the command to someone who has no command ability but strong enough power, catastrophe will occur.

“And if you can’t trust you, who has participated in various missions, including the Blue Dragon Team, who should you trust?”

“Thank you for saying that.”

Gaon looked around at the others.

Park Hyunsoo is not alone in making the decision.

“It’s us, what?”

The Blue Dragon team was a natural response.

Gaon saw Master Im.

He smiled and said:

“I also have no objection to Gaon taking over.”

“Whoa. Then I’ll let the commander take over.”

“But are we done?”

It was Park Hyunsoo who raised the question.

He said with a strange face as he looked at his colleagues who would be with him for a while.

“Counter-terrorism countermeasures or whatever is good, is this the end?”

“surely. There are too few.”

The opponent is the Dark Spirit who turned Paris into a sea of ​​fire and defeated the S-Class Hunter.

It is impossible to predict how many people will be there, but it will definitely not be small.

No matter how elite Korean hunters were, this number was not enough.

There was no way this was the only talent.

Then I heard the creaking of shoes from above.

Judging by the sound, this was definitely the heels women wore.

Everyone looked at the door.

A slender leg appeared with a creaking sound of rusty metal.

The flashing light in the basement looked like she was wearing stockings.

“Woman?”

At the word ‘woman’, one person flashed through Park Hyunsoo’s mind.

Then I saw the face of the person who came in.

Park Hyunsoo smiled and called her name.

“Mr. Minah.”

“long time no see.”

It was Lee Min-ah, a hunter belonging to the Korean Association.

* * *

“Everyone has gathered.”

Lee Min-ah smiled brightly as she looked at the hunters who were looking at her.

The atmosphere became brighter when a beautiful woman came to a place where there were only dull men.

Gaon took a step forward and asked a question.

“Is this the end of the number of people?”

“Yes.”

“I know she’s a counter-terrorism unit, and you know that, no matter how elite she summons, this number is not enough.”

Lee Min-ah responded with a smile to Gaon’s point.

“You are not the only counter-terrorism unit.”

“What do you mean?”

“Currently, the counter-terrorism unit is made up of a point organization. They have different roles.”

“Then what if there is confusion?”

“That part will be controlled by the main control tower.”

“Then there is no meaning in creating a point system, is it?”

Gaon did not stop pointing out the expected problems, whether he had a lot of experience in this field.

She did not lose to Lee Min-ah and she countered his point.

“I am aware of where the concerns are. Are you concerned about when the control tower is hit?”

“Yes.”

If you manage all countermeasures from a control tower, you only need to find the enemy control tower.

Of course it won’t be easy.

The association is not an idiot, and there is no way to openly disclose the control tower.

However, there is an “if” in the world.

As long as the possibility exists even in decimal units, it was right to be as careful as possible.

Didn’t anyone think that the S-class Hunter would be defeated?

“This afternoon, a secret notice came from the Portal Task Force.”

“From the battery?”

Everyone but Park Hyunsoo muttered at the word “captain”.

“The artillery commander said that the next target of the Dark Spirits who attacked Paris is the Republic of Korea. Among them, he said that he had speculated that it was the capital city, Seoul. And just in time, an incident that all of you know happened.”

Guards Murder Case.

It was a case that is currently experiencing difficulties in the investigation, and there is no evidence of murder anywhere except for the body.

However, the Society found traces of the Awoken’s use of power there.

The result of a secret investigation, not sure.

“It was a type of trace that was not registered with the Korean Association.”

Then there are three possibilities.

Whether it is the emergence of a new awakening, an awakening from another country, or a dark spirit.

Considering the current situation, it was close to the second or third, and through the secret notice of the battery commander, the Association determined that it was most likely to be the third.

The fact-check has not been made public yet, but through another official letter sent by the battery commander, they immediately started the operation.

“Is that how we got together?”

“that’s right. It’s not a 100% chance, but it’s not a 0% chance either.”

“By the way, what does that have to do with the safety issues of the control tower?”

“I was going to tell you now.”

Lee Min-ah was a little nervous as she looked at Ga-on, who made a cold voice.

She had thought about it for a long time, but Gaon, who was in charge of the mission, was a pretty scary man.

“The command of the main control tower is not in charge of the Korean Association.”

“then?”

“Mr. Walker will lead you as general manager.”

“When you say Walker… … .”

Ant, one of the Blue Dragons, asked, wagging his tail.Lee Min-ah nodded her head.

“that’s right. I’m talking about Andersen Walker, an S-class hunter and the head of the battery’s top research lab. And, for efficient operation.”

Lee Min-ah took a few breaths, and then she continued with the next words as calmly as possible.

She said, “The vice president is currently visiting the association.”

Everyone’s eyes widened at the word ‘Vice President’.

The Korean Association also has the position of vice president, but he will not tell you that he has visited the association.

Because he is a person who works for the association in the first place.

If so, which vice president… … .

“Armand Descartes?”

“Yes.”

The fact that everyone’s expressions changed in a funny way was quite a fun spectacle for Lee Min-ah.

* * *

Armand, a man with short green hair, stirred the green tea in front of him with a teaspoon.

“I don’t know if it will suit my taste.”

“Korean traditional tea is a little bitter.”

Baek Cheon-ho, president of the Korean Association, who sat across from him, laughed and said, “Heh heh.”

The place where Armand is now was the office of the president of the Korean Association.

Armand smiled as he looked at Baek Cheon-ho, who spoke English fluently.

“You don’t have to be formal.”

“As the vice president of the association, you can’t dare to do that.”

Armand’s outward appearance doesn’t suit a position of authority, but ironically, he was the head of one of the world’s most influential and large organizations.

“Yeah, it’s just one loser.”

“Are you not vigilant? If you hadn’t been vigilant… … .”

“It is wrong to be careless. Paris thanks to carelessness.”

Armand sipped the tea with a bitter face.

The fire that covered Paris today was suppressed by the power of the Hunters.

However, the aftereffects have been imprinted on the citizens as a strong fear.

It will take a very long time to get rid of the aftereffects.

In addition, the material damage was enormous.

Experts said it would take at least 10 years to make up for the damage.

It was only 10 years until restoration, and by that time, Paris would no longer represent France.

He didn’t show off, but Armand thought it was all his fault.

In fact, if he had not been vigilant, Paris would not have been that far, and the citizens would not have had to suffer this much.

For them, it was a disaster no different from the time of Portal Impact.

Baek Cheon-ho had nothing to say.

He knew from long experience that it would be poisonous to be comforted in a casual way.

“Stop talking about gloom, and let’s talk about a plan to get over this gloom.”

“all right.”

The purpose of Armand’s visit has already been confirmed through a secret letter sent by the battery commander.

“He heard that he made five units in the Korean branch. Andersen controls it with a control tower, right?”

“Yes. He’s in charge of the control tower, so if something goes wrong, the countermeasures units operating as a point organization may be in great danger.”

If you operate the control tower directly from the turret in the first place, those worries will disappear.

It’s a long way away, and no matter how dark Spirit leaves, it won’t do anything crazy to directly hit the artillery.

If you go that far, you will rather kneel in front of the overwhelming power of the artillery squadron.

I’d rather get the job done more easily.

“How is the tracking of the smuggled Dark Spirits going now?”

“Look at this.”

In lieu of explanation, Baek Cheon-ho gave Armand a sheet of paper.

Armand rubbed his cheek as he looked at the paperwork.

“This?”

“This is where we found traces that are believed to be identical to the traces of the Awoken that we first discovered.”

Armand looked at the paperwork again.

[Show the location of the Awakened Traces in Gangnam-gu]

It was written that way at the top of the document.
