Episode 070 Director Jack Miller of the Guard Headquarters.

Unlike the party who was taken aback by the flash baptism, I expected this, so I looked around at the people gathered leisurely.

Most of them were foreign reporters, and there were also Korean reporters in the middle.

At that time, there was a foreigner approaching us.

“This is Andrew. Came out of headquarters. Come this way.”

Andrew, who said he had come out of headquarters, led us to one side.

“Are you confused? I was also surprised. I didn’t expect so many reporters to come… … .”

“it’s okay. This is what I wished for more.”

“yes?”

I cut off Andrew and went up to the prepared podium.

It was an official event that I deliberately leaked my history to reporters and requested the guard.

I don’t like media play, but I thought a show like this was necessary.

It was the Avengers’ first overseas schedule.

I was thinking of throwing at least a vote in consideration of the safety of my future schedule and the relationship with the guilds I would meet overseas.

‘Gilliant, what about Andrew? Can you feel the magic?’

Asking just in case, Gilliant shook his head.

[at all. You can believe it. an ordinary hunter The grade is about grade B.]

‘okay. Keep an eye on the situation.’

After confirming Andrew’s identity, I asked Gilliant to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances and looked at the reporters.

“Yoo Seo-jun! What was the reason for your sudden visit to the United States?”

One reporter’s question started, followed by questions from other reporters.

Since it was an event requested from the Guard Headquarters, it was also discussed with the airport side.

The event staff brought me a microphone.

“hello. I am Yoo Seo-jun, a Korean hunter elementalist.”

When I greeted them politely, everyone began to concentrate.

“The reason I decided to go to the US is that I think hunters should be active internationally. Gates are not just a matter of one country. It’s a global problem. We are the owners of this planet. And Hunters are warriors who will protect the gates created on Earth. If we don’t join forces, the fight against the gate will be even longer. I’m going to take that first step to the Guard’s headquarters.”

After I finished speaking, the reporters raised their hands again to ask questions.

When I pointed out a foreign reporter, he stood up and asked me a question.

“Did the dragon come with you too?”

The reporter’s face was filled with excitement.

“Yes, I came with you. Introduce your teammates.”

I called Gilliant, Minyoung, and Sooyeon up to the podium.

Min-young and Su-yeon looked puzzled, and Gillian was showing off that he was uncomfortable.

[What are you doing?]

‘I told you. Please match the rhythm.’

I’ve talked about it beforehand, but all three of us felt awkward because we weren’t used to this kind of situation.

“Hey, Seojun. what are you doing.”

Minyoung whispered and asked.

“I just need to say hello. It will be much safer.”

If people know our faces, we’ll get attention, but because of that, we can prevent being attacked in crowded places.

That was one of the reasons I planned this show.

After introducing the team members and taking a few questions, the press conference ended quickly.

Most of the questions were personal questions out of curiosity about us.

I thought that the questions of reporters in Korea and the United States were the same there.

“Are you very good at English?”

“I will be moving internationally, isn’t English a must?”

I smiled and talked to Andrew, who asked in a surprising way.

“Ah, yes. Yes.”

Andrew nodded and led us to the limousine.

We got into the limousine and moved to the accommodation first.

“You can stay here for a while. If there is anything uncomfortable, please contact me.”

Then Andrew handed over his business card.

“thank you.”

“Then, unpack and rest for a while. We will send a limousine to take you to headquarters soon.”

The hospitality of the guard headquarters was exemplary.

“Wow, great. The rooms are all connected without having to go out into the hallway.”

This is my first time in a room like this.

I saw it in the movies, never thought I’d fly all the way to the East Coast and stay in a suite.

“Oh, there’s champagne too.”

“Look at this. It’s the bathrobe you see in the movies.”

“Cooky things.”

Gilliant, who was watching the excited Min-young and Soo-yeon while touring the room, said.

I stared blankly at Gilliant.

“why? what?”

“No, I’m curious because a guy who should be nerdy is rather unconcerned.”

Gilliant must have been in a room like this for the first time, but surprisingly, it didn’t seem to have much inspiration.

Understanding my words, Gillian grinned and said,

“Are you going to get very cocky when you go to a hotel where the aristocrats of our world stay? Besides, I’ve also served as a royal court judge.”

“Oh, I see.”

“What, don’t you believe that nuance?”

At Gilliant’s words, Soo-yeon cut off her words and showed a soulless reaction.

“But, Seo Jun-ah. What should I do when I go to our guard?”

“that’s right. You said you would inform me of a more detailed schedule upon arrival?”

“I decided to take a tour of the Guard Headquarters and receive a request from the Guard.”

“request?”

“Yes, what I requested from the Guard Headquarters is mercenary activity.”

When he became a mercenary under the name of Avengers, he was able to work freely internationally.

The guard headquarters gives us information and requests for gates, and we solve them and take advantage of them.

That was the condition for cooperation.

The expenses required for the business trip were paid by the requesting party anyway, so the cost burden was small.

If this case ends well, there will be an opportunity to connect with other guilds overseas using this as a stepping stone.

“And in addition to the benefits from inside the gate, we decided to provide the information we want as a commission fee.”

“Wow, you allowed such strong conditions?”

“That doesn’t mean the guard loses.”

The reason Guard accepted this condition was probably because he could naturally know information about Gilliant and us, the Avengers.

In addition to that, you can handle the difficult gates that even the hunters here have trouble with.

It will be beneficial for them.

If we went wrong at the gate, it was a mercenary contract, so there was no problem.

“The limousine has arrived. Let’s go down.”

I was resting after I had sorted out my luggage to some extent, when I got a call from the intercom in my room.

*

“Wow, the White House.”

“Oh, is that where the President of the United States lives?”

While riding in the limousine, Soo-yeon and Min-young were excited about looking around.

After that, we moved for a while, got out of the center, and entered the forest road.

After passing the strict border and following the trail, a huge gray building caught my eye.

“Im here. I will open it for you.”

After the car stopped in front of him, Andrew got up first and went outside to help us get out.

“Wow, look at the desolate building.”

“It is different from what I imagined.”

Soo-yeon and Min-young, who got off first, looked up at the guard headquarters building and said.

The high walls made of gray concrete looked like a prison.

“Oh, that’s a prison. This is the Guard Headquarters building.”

no wonder.

Embarrassed, we looked where Andrew was pointing.

Standing at a 90-degree angle to the prison, the building of the Guard Headquarters was a stylish modern structure.

There were buildings with different shapes on both sides of the tall building in the center.

And in the center of the prison and the guard headquarters, there was a large rectangular black tombstone.

As I was looking at it, Andrew explained.

“This monument honors agents who died on missions from the days of the World Awakened Society to the present.”

As he said, many people’s names were engraved there.

It was still limited to the upper part of the tombstone, but that meant that there were many people who could die in the future.

What we were doing was just as dangerous.

After a moment of silence in front of the tombstone, we followed Andrew into the building.

As we entered the building, Andrew continued his explanation of the Guard Headquarters.

“As you might have guessed, the prison you saw earlier is where the Awoken are imprisoned.”

Somehow, I wanted to move to a suburb that was a bit far away from the center, but it was because the prison was next to it.

“So, isn’t it dangerous?”

At Min-young’s question, Andrew laughed and talked.

“So we built it next to the headquarters. It will be difficult to break through the prison, but even if you do, you will have to deal with all the guard headquarters agents.”

Korea still has a relatively low crime rate for awakened people, but it was a pretty big issue in the US and other countries.

“This is still a collection of domestic criminals. International criminals are imprisoned in underwater prisons built deep in the Pacific Ocean.”

We’ve heard of it too.

Because Hwang Yi-chan was imprisoned there. Since I was involved, I was able to hear about where Hwang Yi-chan would go.

Probably the most notorious of all the prisons on Earth.

No matter how they escaped, they would be in the depths of the Pacific Ocean.

“And the central building here is the Guard’s central command center. The building on the left is the Hunter Bureau, and the building on the right is where other administrative affairs are gathered.”

The place we entered was the central building.

There was an electronic display board on the lobby wall in front.

In the US map that appeared on the screen, the current status of gates by region was being updated in real time.

Seeing the name appear next to it, it seemed to be the name of the hunters challenging the gate.

“This is the status board. All staff at the headquarters knew the current situation and prepared for it. An alarm is set to go off as soon as there is a problem or a request for help.”

We felt we still had a long way to go.

Rapid growth is good, but such a systematic system was also necessary.

As expected, I thought it was good to go abroad.

Looking at Suyeon and Minyoung’s expressions, it seemed that they were also inspired by something.

“Now let’s go see the director.”

Andrew brought his name tag to the elevator and it started working.

ding-

When I got off the elevator that stopped at the top floor and came out along the hallway, there were many people tapping on their computers.

And on the split screen that appeared in front of them, various screens were visible.

I thought it was an office, but the entire floor was a command room.

A large white man who had been looking down on them from the railing turned to us.

“Welcome, Elementalist Seojun Yoo.”

He made eye contact with me and greeted me with a wide smile.

*

We went into the director’s office, which was set up on one side of the command room.

“It’s not enough, but it’s Director Jack Miller, who is in charge of commanding the headquarters.”

Jack Miller was a typical American military man.

His large size also seemed solid, and his angular face gave the impression that not a single drop of blood would pass through it.

“I heard you want to work as an international mercenary.”

“Yes, I know you are accepting a request today.”

“I picked one anyway.”

Then Jack Miller handed me a pad.

When the pad was turned on, a video was played.

The screen shot down from the sky showed fields and forests.

Soon after, monsters from the forest were caught on camera.

The types of monsters were diverse.

Hunters were also seen dealing with monsters on the ground.

It was a team of four foreigners, each of whom was a hunter using firearms and magic.

However, the number of monsters was too many for the four of us to deal with.

A hunter looked at the drone and wanted to shout something, and was attacked by monsters.

In an urgent situation, other hunters were seen entering the forest.

After that, what appeared on the screen was a flying monster resembling a dragon.

The one with black, hard-looking scales stared at the screen in the air, then attacked the camera with his mouth open.

With that, the screen freezes.

After that, information on the hunters from earlier appeared in the personal information that appeared on the screen.

The guy who attacked the camera at the end was like a wyvern even if you think about cancer.

I had only faced him once before returning.

“Gilliant, isn’t this a wyvern at the end?”

Gilliant nodded at my question.

Jack and Andrew were also focusing on Gilliant, as if they were curious about this identity.

“right. That is a wyvern.”

Wyvern.

In novels and movies, the imaginary existence of a wyvern has been described a lot.

So, everyone should be familiar with the name.

“Did you just say wyvern?”

Gilliant nodded at Andrew’s question.

“Yes. it’s a wyvern Its body is also small, and it moves instinctively when you see it in action. It can never be a dragon.”

Gilliant spoke confidently.

“I thought they resembled them to some extent, but I thought they were real wyverns. Anyway, our request is to rescue the lost personnel in the video if they are still alive. If you can, it would be more appreciated if you could finish the gate as well.”

That was Jack’s request.

It’s such a difficult quest from the first quest.

Dealing with the Wyvern was possible because there was a Gillian and I knew the strategy, but if it was the other Hunters, it was a mission that I would definitely die.

On the screen, the photos and personal information of the hunters trapped in the gate overlapped in turn and appeared repeatedly.

The hunters in the smiling ID photos were all young people in their 2nd and 30s.

I looked up again to see Jack Miller, and he had a relaxed expression on his face rather than worry.

Are they not concerned?
