Transitional period (1)

Choi So-ra and the daughter of a mid-sized company, who was in the top row in the class, bumped into each other. She couldn’t concentrate in class all the way until dismissal.

It was not a problem because of the tension that would not go away or the fear of retaliation.

It was because of her brother, the reason she couldn’t stand it and fired at her.

‘Of course not, but… .’

I knew that what my brother was doing was far from honor or pride.

He had a fairly high rank in the black market, and he had several private businesses.

For a young woman, gossip and suspicion were more likely to come than information or accurate knowledge about the black market or such businesses.

Besides, it’s a family that lives together.

It seemed like he was hiding it, but there were many parts that didn’t make sense to common sense, so it wasn’t just speculation.

Now, my brother, who is only in his early thirties, is in a high position in the black market.

Still, it hasn’t been given a name.

I don’t know what kind of business it is, but I don’t even look at it at home.

Even the income earned is extraordinary. It just seemed strange to her eyes.

Besides, since I was young, it’s a bonus that I often don’t come home until late at night or stay out at all.

However, even if she was involved in illegal activities, she would kill people if she killed them, and she knew best that she was not the kind of person who would do dirty things like buying and selling women.

According to what I had heard in the past, the woman whose parents had abandoned her when she had no memory of it was a prostitute, so that fact alone was enough to explain it.

It was for that reason that she endured bullying all along and burst out.

‘Is that worse?’

A self-deprecating smile appeared on her face.

Sometimes killing people is cheaper than buying and selling s*x, so I wondered if it was meaningful to weigh the weight.

While I was lost in thought, leaving class behind, the bell announcing dismissal rang before I knew it.

Contrary to her expectations, the girls who had a quarrel with Choi So-ra left the classroom with only one fierce glance.

The great people who can end it like this can’t do it, so they’ll probably gather together and work separately.

She also packed up and left the classroom.

After exiting the school building and walking along the luxuriously landscaped road for some time, at the front gate, a unique view of Mirae High School was unfolding.

Vehicles priced from as little as tens of millions of won to as many as hundreds of millions of won were lined up.

It was a vehicle for drivers and bodyguards to pick up children from all over the place.

Nobi also liked the house slave, and even among them, there was an invisible conflict and hierarchy.

The closer you get to the front door, the better the family is, and the farther you go, the more inconspicuous the line-up.

Among them, Choi So-ra’s driver or vehicle was not found.

If it was Jang Won-woo’s personality, it wouldn’t have been enough to ignore all of that and wait for a driver at the front gate, but it was the Maginot Line that compromised after entering this school.

There is no need for knights or guards.

‘If you think about it, is that a reactionary psychology… .’

I thought that there must be at least one person protecting her from her brother’s reaction, who couldn’t tell a lie or lie if she pretended.

As I trudged along, thinking about this and that, I realized that I had crossed the end of the long line of cars to the bus stop I had to use.

“ah… .”

From noble mtl dot com

Looking back the way I came, I could see that it was quite a long way to the stop.

The halfway point of the distance to the next stop.

Fortunately, the nearest subway station, Yangjae Station, appeared when she passed through the alley next door, so she quickly changed routes and started moving by taking the subway.

When I entered a narrow alley blocked by walls on both sides after passing between several neighborhood pubs and franchise restaurants that had not yet opened.

She turned her head at the strange energy she felt from behind.

From noble mtl dot com

Let’s get to the point where you can see it with a side glance.

shhh-

The monster’s fists were already filling her field of vision.

“Kyaaak… !”

* * *

puff-

“Ouch… Aww!”

One arm of the assailant was smashed against the wall by Ha Yeon-woo, who was already watching the whole scene from near the school and was at close range.

The assailant, who showed no signs of dying, attacked Choi So-ra as soon as he entered the alley.

Even though it is an alley, it is definitely in the middle of the station area where the subway station is right in front of you.

“He is a fearless man.”

Choi So-ra carefully opened her tightly closed eyes and let out a puzzled voice.

“Who, who… .”

After grasping the situation for a while, she added as if surprised.

“Ha Yeon-woo?”

“That’s half the word.”

Even as he said that, Ha Yeon-woo stepped on both legs of the man who was trying to escape and crushed them.

Kwajik-

“Kreak… .”

The guy who jumped up once as if he had received an electric shock and then burst into bubbles.

Even Choi, who saw the scene, was not hurt, but similarly flinched and kept her distance.

“What is this… .”

She murmurs, unable to hide her bewilderment at the series of unexpected situations.

From the time he started following the assailant, hinting that he was going to die, Ha Yeon-woo was walking with him at close range.

Today, I am going to clean up Choi So-ra’s personal affairs with Jang Bo-ra.

While visiting the school in advance and going through the primary procedures for Jang Bo-ra as an agent, Ha Yeon-woo received a report from a close bodyguard planted by Jang Won-woo without his brother’s knowledge.

The content is that one Awakener who showed a willingness to kill is following her.

After briefly conveying the situation to Jang Bo-ra in whispers, she immediately left school and caught up with her directly to observe the situation.

It means that he was fully in control of the entire process as if he were putting it in the palm of his hand.

A member of the cougar organization, who was in charge of Choi So-ra’s bodyguard, received Ha Yeon-woo’s gaze from a distance and bowed his head.

Ha Yeon-woo, who turned his gaze away, looked down at Choi So-ra.

Plump lips that seemed to be quite stubborn, and cynical eyes. And a look of surprise because he still can’t figure out the situation.

“hi.”

From an extremely calm greeting to a grotesque expression.

I know that they are half siblings with Jang Won-woo, but it makes me think that they are very similar. It was such an impression.

“Oh, hello… .”

Silence came with a short greeting, and just in time, Jang Bora, who seemed to have finished her work, received a call.

A few minutes to briefly describe the location and continue the confrontation, not the confrontation.

“Huh… .”

She arrived at the place where it happened.

Even now, after realizing that he was a member of the cougar, he immediately said to Jang Bora, who was breathing heavily, as if it was still a scene that was hard to see.

“I’ll take you to school for now.”

The parking lot was the school, so I had to go back anyway. The distance wasn’t too far.

“Why me… .”

I recognized Ha Yeon-woo and knew roughly what kind of person he was, but Choi So-ra, who was in danger of being attacked just a moment ago.

I realized that I hadn’t even introduced myself yet to the question she expressed without lowering my guard.

“hmm… Are you Jang Won-woo’s boss?”

“yes? Who are you serving?”

“I am the black market owner.”

Now it was information that anyone who was curious could know. I didn’t even try to hide it.

“Come to think of it… .”

She seems to have grasped the context right away.

“If you know, follow that person. Think about it and go there.”

“Let’s go, Sora. Come on.”

Did he feel that he was not the one who would harm him? Or is it because he saved his life? Choi So-ra lowered her head and walked obediently at Ha Yeon-woo’s words that seemed to push her back.

After the two of them left the alley with Jang Bora supporting them.

Ha Yeon-woo immediately groaned and headed towards the assailant who twitched slightly.

Jjaak-

Ha Yeon-woo’s lightly swinging hand bent his head as if it would bend.

The assailant, who came to his senses at least a little from the pain felt on his face, took off his hat and mask and spoke in a low voice.

“Shall I kill you by peeling off your skin, or do you want me to pulverize your bones and kill you?”

The pupil of the guy who shakes vigorously at the eerie words.

“Ah, if you tell me where you came from or who instigated you, you have the option of dying painlessly.”

There were only two cases where a second-tier Awakener, who had little power, could do something like this in the middle of the city.

Either the back of the stomach is so great that I have the confidence to go through with it no matter what, or I’m an idiot who can’t think of the back.

Of course, it was obvious that it would be the latter, so he threw a light threat as bait.

‘If I don’t blow it, I just need to take off the real skin.’

I was confident that I could blow it no matter what method I used.

And as expected, the guy who had been thinking for a moment opened his mouth in terror and began to recite the inside story.

“A-a week ago, a man in a suit came to the office… .”

The guy who roams around with his right hand and both ankles crushed is a low-end awakening member of an archie group who will do anything for money in the provinces.

Somehow, a man in a suit from Seoul visited the office accompanied by a high-ranking awakened person.

Even if only one of the two high-ranking Awakeners who appear to be escorts comes out, the power difference is incompetent.

Of course, they responded cautiously, and his explanation was that he handed over an unexpected offer.

“I said I only want one thing. Kill the so-called hot guys in downtown Seoul and put up their bodies… .”

Hanging it probably doesn’t mean hanging it on a bridge openly like the revenge of Mexican gangsters. It must be presented so that anyone can know death.

The price is, of course, an amount they have never touched before.

That’s why a few people, including the guy in front of me, who was at the bottom, received orders and came up to Seoul.

‘Did you intend to leave Korea after working?’

Future high school is a den of the so-called possessives that the instigators want.

Of course, the 2nd-ranked braggarts couldn’t do a bold greeting, so they must have caught the number while snooping around the school their children attended.

According to what he said, Choi So-ra, the only one who left school alone without a knight, would have been a delicious prey.

“Is that why you thought you could kill enough and pull yourself out?”

Even at the level of an idiot, an Awakener is an Awakener. No matter how downtown this place is, he must have calculated that it would be possible to get rid of his body quickly.

“… … .”

Silence soon became affirmation.

Even the name of the organization he worked in and the name of the loan company he was operating. It didn’t seem like he was lying.

The saddest expression, as if begging for help, was the biggest proof.

“hmm… .”

A man in a suit who can accompany a high-ranking Awakener as an escort. Indiscriminate terrorism targeting high-ranking people.

It was like being caught by an accidental opportunity, but I couldn’t get rid of the vague feeling that it was just the beginning and that this was a very small part of it.

At that moment, among the many forces Ha Yeon-woo knew, those who could be related passed through his mind.

Chinese Revolutionary Party? They are the ones who bombed the president of the company. The scale was too small and now it will be busy confronting China.

china? It was a no-brainer.

It feels implausible and out of the blue to think that other countries or terrorist groups belonging to them did it.

‘Those who will benefit from indiscriminate terrorism using domestic awakeners… .’

Suddenly, Zipia, who proposed a deal to him a while ago, and the number of cases they could take because of the missing cubes came to mind.

For other ordinary people, even businessmen and politicians might be ‘I can’t believe it’, but he thought it was possible.

Even the most probable thing for now, given the context.

“Sah, save me… .”

puff-

Expecting more information from an insignificant guy is too much. His role as an aid to reasoning was over.

I had to leave a mark so that those who did the work would know, so I crushed the whole chest with the heart, not the head.

The assailant spit out blood and died with a desperate expression.

From noble mtl dot com

Leaving him behind, I took out my phone and called the cougar.

“Look for a happy loan company in Asan. Get as much information as possible about high-level terrorism in Seoul and kill every single one of them. Leave the body alone.”

It’s not long before we move to North Korea.

Inside, I hoped it would pass without incident, but there were signs that amplified my anxiety.

Just a few days ago, an additional developing country perished due to a 6th-tier monster, and although it was limited to Korea, the Awakeners’ reactionary psychology and even this movement.

“I must advance the timing.”

The omen was not good.
