Episode 28. Establishment of Fenrir Unit

I must have replaced my weapons, I must have secured enough funds, and I am ready.

Within a few days, the story of Jung Daesik's troops took shape.

Kang Young-hoo gathered Jung Daesik and the commanders of each unit and presented a new blueprint.

"As you know, the commander of Frankenstein's unit is retiring at the end of this contract."

At the words spoken by Young-Hoo Kang, Captain Frankenstein slightly bowed his head, and everyone applauded in congratulations.

“At the same time, two members of the Frankenstein Unit also decided to leave the Titan Unit, effectively disbanding the Frankenstein Unit. Also, Gye-Young Seok, who served as the temporary unit commander of the Cthulhu Unit, declined the position of unit commander, so there was a problem with the number of people. The Cthulhu Army also decided to disband this time.

And, as you may already know, Jung Daesik here has not only risen to rank 5 this time, but has also become a quadrupleist, so he has become independent from the Foreign Legion and formed a new unit. Therefore, a major overhaul of the entire Titan raid is inevitable."

Kang Yeong-hoo looked around his commanders once and spoke.

“I will take this opportunity to redeploy the crew to suit the character and balance of each unit. However, for the selection of members, I will give priority to Jung Daesik of the new unit. The members of Frankenstein's and Cthulhu's units will be distributed to other units."

Kang Young-hu's words caused a stir among his commanders.

It was because of the word that Jung Daesik would be given priority in selecting the crew.

Kang Yeong-hoo read the signs and gave him an opportunity to protest.

"Then let me ask you a question."

As soon as Kang Yeong-hoo's words fell out, Captain Echidna raised his hand and opened his mouth.

"I'm sorry, but the current echidna unit's composition is perfect. There's nothing to add or subtract. Do I still need to change the members?"

"If the commander doesn't want it, it doesn't matter. But can we accept additional members of Frankenstein and Cthulhu?"

"What I want to ask is about the new unit. If the new commander over there... says he wants my unit, should I give it to him without a word?"

All the unit commanders were paying attention to the issue.

Being able to swap out a trooper you don't like is welcome, but you don't want Jung Daesik to lose your favorite trooper.

Kang Young-hoo dismissed the issue in one word."Yes."

There was an immediate backlash when asked to do so without any explanation or excuse.

"That's unfair! Why do you have to give up my crew to someone who just became commander?"

"No matter how much it favors the convenience of the new unit... it would be better to unite the Frankenstein and Cthulhu members into one unit and entrust it to them!"

"Or how about recruiting a new operator?"

Amidst the burst of words, Kang Young-hoo raised a hand.

He said with a strict face that he would not allow any further protests.

"If the unit Jung Daesik will operate was a unit that performs general missions like other units, I would not have given him priority in selecting members. However, Jung Daesik's unit will be a unit for special missions will be."

This was also the first time Jung Daesik had heard of it.

He reflexively asked a question because it was his own business.

"A special mission... What kind of mission do you mean?"

"It's a dungeon attack specialized unit."

At those words, the crowd became quiet.

Kang Young-hoo's words continued.

“Recently, the government has been increasing requests to capture dungeons. This is closely related to the recent changes in the hunter society. In the past, hunters had their purpose in killing the existence of another world. So, to kill the boss mob and take out the magic stone, the core, that was the absolute mission of those who were born with this ability.

But 10 years from the beginning of the extended reality world. The world is changing day by day. The vast resources of the dungeon, and the wealth created by it, have a lot to do with it. Hunters began to pay more attention to the money that resulted from that, rather than the mission of eradicating monsters or attacking dungeons."

As I listened to Kang Young-hoo's explanation, Jung Daesik's conscience swelled for nothing.

He squeezed his mouth shut, suppressing the urge to spit.

“It’s true if you look at the sledding pot and everything. A large number of hunters are not interested in getting stronger or their mission, but only focusing on making money. Some large raids are acting like they can no longer be called raids. He is focused only on doing business and starting a business. So, of course, the dungeon attack has to be behind the scenes. Especially if it is a high-risk dungeon where dangerous monsters lurk."

Kang Young-hoo turned his body and walked to the window and said while showing his back.

"I don't know how the world will change in the future, but I don't think it should be. We Awoken are chosen by God. We must do our duty! That's how we protect our world from monsters, and we ourselves It's a way to make them stronger."

Kang Young-hoo spoke softly, but there was power in his voice.

The eyes of the unit commanders who lined up heated up, and a serious air that could not be said was raised.

"...the government must have its limits in encouraging hunters. If it continues like this, the third and fourth monster breaks will follow. The second monster break that occurred last time was local, so the damage was small, but the next There is no guarantee that this will happen even if there is a disaster comparable to the first monster break..."

Kang Yeong-hoo clouded the tail of his horse like a person who was afraid to follow the back words.

He soon turned around and spoke again.

"Of course, I'm not saying that we should have a special unit that specializes in dungeon raids just because of a sense of duty. In high-risk dungeons that hunters avoid, you can get a different kind of Magic Stone from ordinary Magic Stones.

As of now, there is no progress in the development of magic crystal power generation technology, so it is said that the value of the magic stone is not great, but I have a different opinion. Magical Stones are clearly the new energy of mankind. Worth investing and holding. I want our titan troops to secure as many magic crystals as possible."

Jung Daesik was quite surprised to hear what Kang Young-hoo had to say.

He was penetrating the point pointed out by entropy, the fact that mankind was still at an uncivilized level in the use of magic.

And it is to anticipate and prepare for the upcoming energy revolution.

'I am a character, I am a character.'

While Jung Daesik was inwardly admiring, Kang Young-hoo glanced at his commanders once, then fixed his gaze on Jung Daesik.

When his eyes met, Jung Daesik unknowingly straightened his posture.

“Jung Daesik is the only quadruple player in the world, and he has the potential of being an all-in-one. Also, given the amount of magical power he possesses and his innate attack power, he already has the ability to rank 4th, so it is worth entrusting the future of the Titan Raid.

He will become our face and lead the special forces on the mission of dungeon raids to the forefront. He said that he would enter a dungeon with a risk rating of less than 50% to survive. Are you still dissatisfied with the fact that he has priority in selecting crews? If yes, say it again. I'll entrust the newly formed special forces to him, not Jung Daesik."

The commanders didn't say anything.

Some even looked at Jung Daesik with pitiful eyes.

What made it worthwhile was that Kang Yeong-hoo wasn't just talking about high-risk dungeons and the odds of survival.

There were several dungeons in the world that should have been considered dead just by stepping into them.

Some of the dogs had no way to attack at all, so they were left unattended.

When no one spoke, Kang Yeong-hoo confirmed.

"Well, I guess everyone here acknowledges Jung Daesik's priority for selection."

The situation seemed to end there.

But someone opened their mouth.

"...I acknowledge his priorities for selection of operators. But please also acknowledge our right to deny them."

Unexpectedly, it was Kim Si-on who said that.Kang Young-hoo looked at her without saying a word and the story continued.

"No matter how great his abilities, all of the unit commanders here are veterans. It is unreasonable to ask a kid who has never been in charge of a unit to give up his crew blindly. So, compete with him for a member of your squad, and if you think his skills are right, he'll be able to respond to his request."

Jung Daesik thought a lot about Kim Si-on's words.

She probably isn't saying that because she doesn't want Jung Daesik to lose her crew.

She was there to prevent any possible chaos in the future.

If you compete fairly with the commander and take the crew with your skills, neither the commander nor the crew will be able to say anything else later.

Jung Daesik was also able to choose the talent he wanted without noticing other people's attention.

Perhaps Kang Young-hoo was thinking the same thing, but she seemed to be a little worried, but she nodded her head willingly.

"Okay. From the standpoint of entrusting a trooper like a child, you have the right to test that level. What do you think, Jung Daesik?"

Jung Daesik readily complied with the request.

"great."

"Then it's decided. Jung Daesik will take a detailed look at all the members of the Titan Raid and make a list of the people he thinks would be a good fit for your unit. Once the list is decided, I will give each unit commander a chance to compete with him. If he fights and wins, he can refuse to select his crew."

This is a bet on the talent of the Titan Raid

This was one duel.

The commanders were curious about Jung Daesik's skills, though, so they glared at him.

His back was dizzy when he unintentionally received the glare of those who had to be at least 6th grade.

At the same time, it was also quite exciting.

'If it's not an opportunity like this, when are you going to compete with other hunters? There are as many as 400 talented people above me, so I can't help but wonder. This is a chance to see how well my abilities work against the same Awoken!'

Jung Daesik didn't even think about making a list.

There is only one standard for him!

'What do you have to worry about? You just have to pick a strong guy.'

Personality and balance were thought to be meaningless to match.

If possible, it would be nice if the members of the unit would get along well, but what if they don't?

While Jung Daesik was a porter, the problems that occurred in raids, parties, teams, etc. had nothing to do with whether the crew were good or bad.
