Episode 27

Jung-min’s daily routine proceeded similarly.

When I opened my eyes, I went to the gate after having lunch after practicing my personal swordsmanship.

Hearing Jun-gi’s advice that nearby shelters and guilds should also leave a gate to attack, Jeong-min moved as far as possible and destroyed the gate by looking for it.

In the evening, I met Leah and practiced.

Jung-min’s stats and skill levels jumped significantly as he was busy destroying gates and focusing on training without time to explore other inventories.

Jung-min looked at the status window floating in front of him with emotion.

[Jungmin Choi

Strength: 223 (+30)

Stamina: 201 (+20)

Agility: 198 (+30)

INT: 125 (+10) [mp:227/227]

Possessed Skills: Gate (lv.5) Teleportation (lv.6) Clairvoyance (lv.4) Eye of Emotion (lv.4) Strike (lv.2) Mana Recovery (P) (lv.4) Perception (P) (lv.1)]

‘Ah… what a beautiful stat.. now I have to change my gear. Since the stats have risen that much, the number of items that can be used among the equipment with stat limits must have increased considerably. Emotional eyes and blows have also been imprinted on me and have become my perfect skills, so it doesn’t matter if I remove the related items.’

Jung-min also checked the skill levels.

It was Jeong-min who had finally raised the base designation skill level to level 5 during the intelligence stat training that he had been carrying out after finishing the battle training with Leah yesterday.

As an additional effect, the registration of additional bases that he so much wanted came out, so Jung-min was very happy.

Jung-min smiled at the corner of his mouth as he recalled Leah who was happy with him at the same time.

Jung-min closed the floating window in front of him.

Today, he was on his way to the shelter early in the morning to register his room in the Daeseong Shelter as a base.

I hadn’t been able to stop by the shelter for a while because I had been looking for the gate, so I thought of registering as a base and meeting Junki.

‘How soon are you going to the shelter? It seems like it’s been quite a while…’

Jung-min was moving from building to building using spatial movement.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Because his intelligence stat had risen a lot, he hardly felt the burden of mana consumed to use his skills.

As Jung-min moved up and down the building using space movement, a strange sight caught his eyes.

“Uh.. what is it? It looks like they’re fighting… but it doesn’t seem like they’re attacking the gate…”

Jung-min moved to the roof of a nearby building and looked down.

In the direction Jung-min was looking at, two groups of awakened people were fighting.

Jung-min furrowed his eyebrows as he watched them fight, throwing skills at each other.

“No, why are the same humans fighting each other? I’ll destroy the gate with that power… It’s cramped.”

Jungmin shook his head and used space movement again.

He thought about intervening for a while, but Jung-min, who didn’t know the reason or content of the fight, thought it was useless, so he decided not to care.

After using a few more space movements, Daesung’s shelter came into view in the distance.

Jung-min moved under the building and slowly walked towards the shelter.

As soon as I said the name of the shelter, the door opened, and Jung-min entered the shelter and walked slowly, looking around to see if anyone knew.

“Oh, Captain 3!”

Junggi-chan, who caught Jung-min’s eyes as he was walking, took a step back in surprise when he saw Jung-min.

Jeong-min, with a happy expression, strode closer and spoke to Ki-chan.

“This is the first time since that day. How have you been? How is your body?”

“Ah… that… that…”

As Ki-chan stumbled in a cold sweat, Jung-min smiled and said,

“Ah, is it because of the past? Don’t be too nervous. Captain 3 and I share fists with each other, right?”

‘Share what to share! I was just beaten!’

Ki-chan wanted to protest, but couldn’t bring it out of his mouth.

That day, a single punch to the abdomen gave Ki-chan, who had been trained in training, pain that made him faint.

Thanks to that, Ki-chan, who was in a cold sweat just thinking of Jeong-min, stammered.

“Mm, mm, what’s going on?”

“No, actually, there’s nothing wrong with Chief 3, I was looking for someone I could ask something about, and he caught my eye. Not many people know, so…”

Ki-chan said to Jung-min, thinking that he had caught his eyes unluckily.

“Well, if you have any questions, ask them. Dad, I have to go quickly..”

“Ah yes. I was holding a busy person. Do you know where Captain 6 is?”

Ki-chan nodded and said.

“If it was Team 6, we were dispatched. The guild has received a request for assistance in attacking the gate…”

After hearing Ki-chan’s words, Jung-min nodded, recalling what Jun-gi had said before.

“Ah, now that I think of it, it seems like he said he would take on that kind of mission as well. When did you leave?”

“I know it was yesterday. I’m guessing he’ll probably be back tomorrow or in the sand.”

“Looks like you’ve gone pretty far. I see. thank you for telling me. You said you were busy? Go ahead and get to work.”

As soon as Jung-min’s words ran out, Ki-chan quickly left the place.

Jung-min was lost in thought as he watched Ki-chan quickly disappear.

‘They said the day I’m going is market day… I’ll have to give up meeting Jun-gi today.’

As he was about to be lost in his thoughts, Kwak Jo-won appeared and approached Jeong-min.

“Are you here? long time no see. I was informed that I had passed through the front door.”

“Ah, personnel officer. long time no see”

Jo Won, who was greeted by Jung Min, said expressionlessly.

“I have prepared what you said before. How would you like to experiment?”

“Did you tell me before? Oh… you mean a gun?”

Joey nodded.

“Hmm… It would be impossible to experiment in a place like this shelter’s training ground, right? It’ll be loud…”

“It seems a bit difficult. If you hear a gunshot in the shelter, there will probably be a big commotion.”

“Um…then where are we going to do the experiment…”

After thinking for a while, Jung-min said to Jo-won.

“Let’s go out together for a while, right? I don’t think it will take long”

Jo Won looked at the watch on his wrist and nodded.

“All right. Let’s go out”

The two went through the front door and out of the shelter.

After walking for a while, Jung-min put his hand on Jo-won’s shoulder and said.

“It can be a bit dizzy.”

“Yes?”

Jung-min and Jo-won teleported to the roof of a nearby building.

Appearing several meters in the air above the rooftop, the two soon fell onto the roof.

“Ugh!”

Jung-Min, who caught Jo Won’s back as he struggled and landed safely, teleported again while looking at the rooftop of the building across the street.

After using two more space movements like that, the two of them ended up on the roof of a building that was quite far from the shelter.

Jo Won couldn’t come to his senses due to the sudden movement of space several times, and put his hands on the ground and vomited.

After a while, when he calmed down to some extent, Jo Won spoke to Jung Min in a tired voice.

“Can’t you just tell me in advance?”

“Um… you’re a lot weaker than I thought. You are still an Awakener.”

“Only words are awakened, but a body that has never been trained.”

“Even if you don’t train, do a little bit of exercise. Are you weaker than normal people?”

Jo Won shook his head with a tired look and took out a pistol from the inside pocket of the suit he was wearing.

It was a small revolver.

“It feels smaller than I thought. Do you know how to shoot?”

“I have been learning a little bit. I received three bullets, but this will be enough, right?”

“Enough.”

Jo Won filled the revolver cylinder with bullets with clumsy hands.

After inserting all the bullets and pulling the hammer, I asked Jung-min.

“Looks like everything is ready. What do we do now?”

“Um… it’s a bit scary to shoot directly at the body… would you like to shoot one in the palm of my hand?”

“Yes? Are you going to shoot me?”

Joey made a surprised expression.

Jimin nodded and said.

“Yes, I will open my palms, so shoot from a distance of about 1m.”

“Mu, it’s impossible! Pointing a gun at a yard that hurts like it’s going to tear your forehead even if you have even a little resentment towards you! Your head might explode!”

“Ah no way. Shooting me is on my orders. By the way, would you mind blowing your head off?”

“Yeah, but…”

“Let’s try it thinking that we’re also doing an experiment together. What would happen if, on the orders of the master, we did something that might harm the master?”

“that…”

“Come on, shoot.”

When Jung-min spoke with his arm stretched out to the side, Jo-won felt that he could not refuse the order.

Jo Won took a deep breath and pointed the gun at Jeong Min’s palm.

Jung-min thought as he saw Jo Won aiming a gun with trembling eyes as he took a deep breath.

‘Hmm.. I’m a little sorry. Are you afraid of the pain in your forehead?’

Jo Won glared at Jung Min’s hand with a nervous face, then gnashed his teeth and pulled the trigger.

Taang!

Jo Won shrank as if he was startled by the loud sound.

Soon after, he checked his forehead, which did not feel any pain, and smiled with joy.

“Oh, it doesn’t hurt! It seems that the owner’s orders take precedence. That’s fortunate. What a relief!”

Jung-min was also happy like Jo-won, looking at his palm.

‘It doesn’t hurt at all! It only feels slightly hit… His stamina stat is over 200, so he can easily withstand bullets! It has become really incredibly hard. And above all… I can see the bullets flying in!’

Jung-min clasped and opened his hands lightly and then said to the delighted Jo-won.

“Recruiter? Two bullets left? Anywhere is fine, so shoot at me.”

It was only then that Jo Won, who saw Jung-min’s condition, said in surprise.

“Is the hand that was shot okay?”

Jung-min opened his palm and showed it to Jo-won.

“As you can see”

“Ha… what a monstrous body it is. Okay. Then let’s shoot.”

As if gaining confidence, Jo Won aimed his gun at Jung Min and fired two shots.

Taang! Taang!

The bullet hit Jung-Min’s chest once… And he moved his head lightly to avoid the one flying into his forehead.

Jung-min said to Jo-won, who was blowing the muzzle like in a western movie.

“You shoot pretty well.”

“How could a Korean man not be able to hit a target at this distance? Am I also from active duty?”

“You were shaking so much earlier, but…”

“Because there was a reason for that.”

“Anyway, the experiment was successful. I don’t think even a gun with more power will work that well for me.”

Jo Won put the revolver back into his inside pocket and said.

“Are you thinking of fighting the [Phugang] guys?”

“Well.. it doesn’t matter if you don’t touch it first.. you don’t know what people do.”

“I have something to tell you about the [Pearl River].”

“What is it?”

“For now… why don’t you go back to the shelter? It’s a bit… quite cold here.”

Jungmin nodded.

“I see. You will be teleported, so prepare your mind properly this time.”

Jung-min put his hand on Jo-won’s shoulder and moved to space.

After a few space shifts, the two people arrived in front of the shelter before I knew it.

Jo Won walked to the shelter and said to Jung Min.

“It’s such a fraudulent skill…”

“How could Shelter not accept a person with such a fraudulent skill?”

“Honestly, since it’s Jung-Min, I can use space movement so freely. How many times would someone else have been able to use it due to lack of mana? If you think that way, you will understand Shelter’s position a little.”

“Yes, yes, you will.”

The two entered the shelter and moved to Cho Won’s office.

As Jung-min sat down on the sofa, Jo-won started talking.

“Recently [the Pearl River] has declared its realm.”

“A territory declaration?”

Joey nodded and said.

“Yes, up to a radius of several kilometers around the place where their shelter is located.

“Um…well, that could happen. It must be creating a new order in that way.”

“Yes, Daesung was also planning to set up a zone and live like that, so we were preparing to coordinate the guilds and shelters around us. By the way..”

“By the way?”

Joey let out a big sigh and then said.

“wide. It’s too wide. [The Pearl River] declared an absurdly large area as their territory. Isn’t a radius of 50 km too much? If it is 50 km, our Daesung Shelter will also be within that radius!”

Jung-min said while watching Jo-won speak indignantly.

“50km… that’s really too much. No, then, what are the shelters and guilds within that radius like Daesung doing?”

“They say you can choose to join them or leave. What kind of nonsense is this.. ha”

“No, with what kind of confidence do you say that?”

“Didn’t I tell you before? Currently, the biggest weapon they have is a firearm… It doesn’t work on monsters or on people… No matter how well-trained Awoken are, it’s not enough to stop bullets yet. Except for you, of course.”

“…”

“Since the largest shelter [Pulkang] came out like that, other shelters and guilds outside the territory declared by [Pulkang] are just making their own territory and claiming it as their own land. Thanks to this, fights between guilds and shelters are frequent in places where the territories overlap.”

Jung-min recalled the fight between the awakened people he had seen on the way to the shelter.

‘So it seems that there was a fight like that earlier. This is so.. a problem..’

ㅡEven with the common enemy of monsters and gates, instead of joining forces, they even started a war with each other.ㅡ

Recalling what Leah had said before, Jung-min sighed lightly.

“So, how long will [the Pearl River] ask for an answer?”

“Sooner or later, it is said that representatives of guilds and shelters within the declared territory will be convened. They said that if you don’t attend, it’s considered that you’ve chosen to leave the realm. Soon, our Shelter executives will also hold a meeting about the matter. I plan to negotiate with other shelters as much as possible.”

“Hmm..”

After thinking for a while, Jung-min said to Jo-won.

“Are you planning to have a personnel officer go there as a representative?”

“Yes, I think so. I think we can use the health of the elderly shelter head as an excuse.”

“Let’s go together.”

“… Yes?”

“Let’s go together. attache? bodyguard? It would be nice to put them in the group with this feeling.”

Joey sighed lightly.

Jimin smiled at him.
