A New Beginning (2)

It didn’t take long for me to get to know everyone on the team.

Maybe it was because there weren’t many team members who belonged to it in the first place, and the staff were all pushed back from their original departments, so thanks to the strange sense of camaraderie, we were able to get to know each other easily.

“Uh… .”

So, in line with the training schedule that will start next week, we gathered in the assigned office to work… .

“Producer.”

“yes?”

Gyuri Han, who was filling out the team application form, suddenly asked a question.

“But you haven’t decided on a name for our team?”

“What’s your team name?”

“yes.”

To Gyu-ri Han’s question, which seemed to be natural, I answered while looking at Kim Jun-hyung, who was writing the report next to me.

“Our team has a name.”

“Really?”

Han Gyuri reacts as if she really doesn’t know.

‘… Did you really not know?’

I was puzzled by her reaction and gave the official team name.

“Team Seoul City Hall.”

OK.

“… yes?”

For some reason, Han Gyuri had a wrinkled expression on her face and made a dissatisfied expression.

“… Isn’t it great?”

“It’s not that great. No, how did the team name come from Seoul City Hall… !”

“Didn’t you know that until now?”

Gyuri Han glanced at Junhyung Kim, who was sneakily intervening.

“Of course I thought it was temporary!”

“How can I temporarily… .”

“I don’t even want a fancy name like Queens or Black Rose! I don’t know if it’s clean and pretty like Gyeongseong or Hanyang, but why Seoul City Hall!”

She insisted that we should come up with a new name right away, saying it would look down on us, and we paused for a moment and put our heads together to think of a new name.

“How about the Seoul Eagles?”

Kim Junhyung was the first to comment.

“It’s the 45th ranked team. It cannot overlap.”

“… Really?”

However, all of them were rejected by Han Gyuri, who gave their opinions… .

“Well… . Then Seoul Hawks!”

“There is a team called the Hawks in Japan.”

“No, what kind of Japan are you talking about?”

“You can create an image of following. Even if it’s an amateur team that isn’t quite famous, you should avoid the pros as much as possible.”

“Ugh… .”

I was able to unexpectedly see her in Han Gyuri.

‘… You know better than you think?’

I thought she wouldn’t be interested in a sport like the Hunter team, but she seemed to have quite a bit of knowledge.

“What do you think, producer?”

“I do not know… .”

Actually, the team name is pretty good.

The most important thing is the performance of the team.

No matter what your name is, as long as you get good grades, anything will look cool.

“I think Seoul City Hall is good too.”

“… yes?”

“It’s unique. First of all, it’s true that you belong to the Seoul City Hall. I think it would be more appealing to just call it ‘Seoul City Hall’ rather than giving it another name.”

“That, but… .”

Gyuri Han carefully opened her mouth to refute my opinion.

“Look. Is it okay if I don’t name it for nothing?”

Kim Jun-hyung laughed at Han Gyu-ri and started sarcastic.

“what?”

“Honestly, the name of the team is arbitrary… .”

“Again, the team name is symbolic… !”

So I quietly watched the two of them arguing,

After a long discussion, the name of the team was decided on the existing ‘Seoul City Hall’.

*

some time later

I woke up early in the morning, finished all my preparations, and looked at the calendar in the corner of the table.

April 4th.

It’s an ordinary weekend ahead of Team Seoul City Hall’s first training session… .

This is the day the first case of the original novel ‘The Strongest Gosu’ begins.

“… … .”

In the first case, a gate suddenly occurs, and the city falls into chaos.

Perhaps, if my prediction was not wrong, there is a high probability that the event itself will flow in the same direction this time as well.

‘I’ll have to do it again, please… .’

So, I left the house to prepare well, and instead of using a car, I used public transportation to go to the place where the incident occurred.

[ 11:14 am ]

‘you’re close.’

About 3 hours before the incident happened.

Standing in the position where the gate was opened, I looked around, recalling the description in the novel.

“… … .”

The stage of this case is Central Square located in the center of Seoul.

With a large fountain with a sophisticated design, a large shopping mall, a terminal, and a subway transfer station are mixed in front and back, so it is a place with a lot of floating population.

In the original novel, the incident was described only to the extent that there were many victims, and even from the point of view of the main character, the cruel scenes were not portrayed very much… .

As long as this is another reality, a catastrophe will be unavoidable.

‘It must be stopped unconditionally.’

How to sew the rest of the buttons beautifully only when the first button is inserted well.

Having hardened my mind once more, I proceeded as planned and approached the magic meter installed next to the bench in the corner of the square.

At first glance, the instrument that looks like an ordinary ornament was mixed with other ornaments.

“… … .”

I sat down on an empty bench just in time, pretended to touch my phone and looked around slowly, then put down the duffel bag I had brought and gently opened the zipper.

This was to cause an abnormality in the horsepower meter.

‘How long will it take… .’

The duffel bag treated with a magic blocking material on the inside contains attachments picked up from the S-class gate.

One day, Seol Joo-hee brought it as a commemorative gift.

‘I didn’t know you could use it this way.’

In general, when the gate is opened, a huge amount of magical energy flows out explosively.

That’s why there are countless such horsepower measuring instruments all over the city, and the government has installed a special agency to monitor it 24 hours a day.

I was planning to use that point to cause an abnormality in the instrument in advance with a magic stone.

“… … .”

How long has it been since I sat and looked around, pretending to touch my phone like that?

Someone started approaching me.

“Excuse me.”

When I glanced up, I saw two security guards wearing black body armor.

“What’s going on?”

“There is a problem with the plaza for a while, so we are going to check it out for a while.

It seems that the instrument has successfully caused an error.

“Ah yes.”

I acted casually, immediately grabbed a duffel bag and got up.

“Thank you for your cooperation.”

“Yes, good work.”

Then, naturally, I tried to get out of the square… .

“Wait!”

A security guard came running and caught me right away.

‘… Did you find out?’

I was not confident in acting, so I looked back while trying to manage my expression.

The security guard pointed to my duffel bag and whispered.

“Your bag is open.”

“ah.”

I quickly closed the zipper of the duffel bag and bowed my head to the security guard.

Then the security guard let me go without any doubts, telling me to be careful.

“Whew… .”

After safely exiting the plaza, I moved to a nearby franchise cafe.

Then, I sat by the window where I could see the square, and kept checking the time, and my dry mouth was wet… .

‘It’s time to explode… .’

right then

Kugugung—-

Outside the window, the sound of something cracking began to resound.

“!”

It has really just begun.

Murmur—

“Did you not hear anything?”

“Is it thunder?”

“Is it a little different?”

“what?”

People inside the cafe begin to murmur with an unidentified roar.

Kugugugung—

I reflexively got up to the sound of the roar, pointing to the sky above the square and shouting.

“Gate!!!!”

Then all eyes inside the cafe turned to me,

I grabbed my duffel bag and hurriedly shouted.

“Everyone run away!!!!!!!”

OK.

Googoogugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugudan ——!!!!

The roar grew louder and louder, as if a pulse were beating, and the people who were sitting idly started screaming and running away.

“Ahhhh-!!”

“Gee, it’s a real gate!!!”

“Do, run away!!”

The inside of the cafe became a mess in an instant.

After following them, I slowly turned my head and looked out the window.

As if the gate was about to open, the sky was rapidly darkening.

“… … !”

A heartbeat is pounding in my ear.

I thought I was definitely ready, but as I faced the gate, I was overcome with fear at the fact that a future without dreams and hopes was approaching.

However… .

You can’t just sit and watch like this.

I can’t do a great job like a real hero, but

Because I have no intention of remaining as an ordinary extra who can’t do anything.

Taking advantage of the chaos, I threw the duffel bag in the place I had seen beforehand and ran to the plaza where the gate started to open.

Jump–! It’s crazy–!

The gate, which began to open in the sky of the square, had already begun to grow in size by eroding surrounding buildings, and small goblins were pouring out and scurrying through the citizens.

Kie ee ee ee!

Kee-ae–!

“Take me, me and me!!! Ahhh!!!”

“Father, run fast!!!”

“aa!!”

Truly Abigail.

“Fight against it!!!”

“Ahhhh!!”

The brave hunters near the square were willing to step up to deal with the goblins, but… .

Because the number of goblins was too large, it was not easy to resist.

“aah-!”

“These bastards have too many heads!!”

Since the guards noticed the abnormal a few hours ago, they must have put the senior hunters on standby right away.

If it takes about 10 minutes at the most for advanced hunters to reach the site, you just have to endure it until then and reduce the damage.

“… Whoo… , … can do… .”

I took a deep breath and made up my mind, and took out the anesthetic scent I had prepared in advance.

He threw it towards the goblins surrounding the Hunters with all his might.

Fang-!

Kuruk… Kuruk…

A group of goblins began to laugh at the scent of anesthetic that spread through the air.

I shouted at the bewildered hunters.

“Now! Wipe it out quickly!”

“Gee, this is an opportunity… ! let’s go!!”

Hunters took advantage of the opportunity and rushed in,

Kie-e-e-eek–!

Kie ee ee ee!

Leaving behind the screams of the goblins, I quickly headed towards the gate.

‘There are still people inside… !’

But then.

“Uh, Mom… !!!”

Through the rubble of the collapsed building, a girl’s voice could be heard.

“!”

I stopped quickly and quickly climbed up the wreckage to save the child and checked the scene.

and… .

Kee ee ee ee

Kee ee ee ee…

I was startled when I found a woman with her back on her back, facing off with a lot of goblins alone.

“… !”

It was Hanna.
