Chapter 212 – Chapter 212 Hero Academy (3-19)
(Are you two okay?)
At the same time, Cho Seo-hyeon, in a flash of consciousness, avoided the monstrous creature that rushed at him again and spoke into his wrist.
“What! Did you shoot that now?”
(For now, that will come later… Is Instructor Seong Soo-ah okay?)
“….”
In the beginning, Seohyun twitched between her eyebrows, and turned her head to check Seongsuah’s condition.
Seeing Seong Soo-ah wake up, Cho Seo-hyeon immediately told Seong Su-ho.
“It’s okay.”
(Fortunately, I will continue to cover you.)
“… Yes.”
Right away, a message appeared on the screen of the smart watch indicating that communication had ended.
‘What? Call me and ask him how he’s doing, and that’s it? Mr. Gee….’
Cho Seo-hyeon vomited her anger inside, then immediately ran to Seong Soo-ah and shouted.
“For now, just stay here! It’s dangerous if you’re alone as you are now!”
Seong Soo-ah opened her mouth with eyes filled with subtle emotions, not saying thank you to Cho Seo-hyun who ran like that.
“Sister… Do you talk to Instructor Seong Soo-ho that often?”
“What? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
Cho Seo-hyeon was momentarily taken aback and was about to speak gibberish.
But the two of them couldn’t afford that.
The monstrous creatures, which had hesitated for a moment in the golden stems earlier, began to attack again.
Pan….
“—__!”
Along with the sound of Seong Su-ho’s bow coming from afar, an arrow was pierced into the chest of a mysterious creature that was approaching Cho Seo-hyeon and Seong Su-ah.
Seong Soo-ah came to her senses and said.
“I-I’m sorry for saying something strange. Let’s solve this first.”
“….”
As if agreeing with that statement, Cho Seo-hyeon straightened up.
After that, things went more smoothly than expected.
Seong Soo-ho’s arrows continued to fly, and Cho Seo-hyeon rather subdued the strange creatures according to Seong Soo-ho’s cover.
And Seong Soo-ah waited behind Cho Seo-hyeon under her protection.
While Seong Soo-ah was relieved, her shame rose up.
‘Of course… When you don’t have mana, that’s how….’
The situation Seong Soo-ho helped was when she ran out of mana.
She said that she wanted to fill the thing called mana, so she wasn’t a power that could be filled in an instant.
And it kept popping up in her memory that gently touched Sung Soo-ah’s nerves.
I couldn’t hear what it was about in detail, but after shooting her beam of light, Seong Su-ho immediately called Seo-hyeon in the first place.
She is not herself….
‘Two people… Are they friendly enough to talk on the phone?’
Cho Seo-hyeon appeared every lunchtime and ate between Seong Su-ho and Seong Su-ah.
A person who had never set foot in a restaurant suddenly started coming.
Seong Soo-ah was very positive about Cho Seo-hyun’s interest in men.
The problem was that the opponent was Sung Soo-ho.
‘… Nope. No matter how I think about it, the two don’t get along at all.’
Seong Soo-ah shook her head without realizing it and looked around her.
With Cho Seo-hyeon’s attack and Seong Soo-ho’s cover, the situation was completely different from before.
Gradually, the number of invading monsters began to decrease.
Aside from that!
At that moment, a loud siren sounded in the school branch and a warning message rang out.
〈 A large number of intruders occur in the Hero Academy! Combatants on campus respond immediately, and non-combatants quickly evacuate the building….〉
The warning message continued to emphasize the weakness of the strange creature and resonated.
Kwajik!
“Whew… I let it go for an hour.”
At the same time as Seohyeon Cho muttered, several instructors appeared in the school and joined forces.
As the invasion of monsters decreased remarkably, the situation seemed to be almost resolved.
Second, Seohyun sighed heavily and then picked up her smart watch and tried to call her.
However, Seohyun, who had been staring at the smart watch for a long time, tilted his head and muttered.
“… What? Why don’t you take it?”
“Are you Instructor Seong Su-ho?”
“Uh…. Why aren’t you answering the phone?”
Seong Soo-ah asked her with a serious expression at the question of Seohyun in her second.
“Sister… Instructor Seong Soo-ho… Rooftop… Who did you go with?”
“….”
Super Seohyeon thought hard, then shouted as she flew her model.
“What the fuck!”
“Hey, wait me too!”
“Nope! You are here!!”
Cho Seo-hyeon let Seong-su-ah do that and she ran into the building where Seong-su-ho climbed.
She passed between her cadets and her instructors, and climbed her steps, ignoring even the still-living monstrosity.
I climbed the landing with one jump, and then climbed the next floor with the next jump.
She wished inwardly as she climbed the stairs at high speed.
‘Please… Please… !’
In any case, it’s fine, so please don’t let anything big happen to him.
Quaang!
And when she got to her roof, kicking her iron door with her foot, she went out onto the roof.
“Ha… Ha… Ha… What….”
What was reflected in Cho Seo-hyeon’s eyes was a rooftop with no one in it, dripping with blood.
***
The riots that broke out during the night were barely resolved in the morning.
The consulate buildings bathed in sunlight showed their majesty by reflecting beautiful colors, but the situation around them was completely different.
As if proving that a tremendous battle had taken place outside as well as inside the consulate, there were many dead bodies.
Although most of them were the bodies of strange creatures, in some places there were also chilly cadets who had stopped moving and lay face down on the ground.
Not only the cadets, but the entire consulate staff came forward and began to organize the surroundings.
And the two of them, heading to the central site of the campus, had a conversation while frowning while watching such a scene.
“The situation doesn’t make sense…. How big is the damage?”
“Sorry. Still to figure out the scale….”
The man who asked the question appeared to be in his mid-40s, giving off a rugged impression of his mid-180s.
His name was Oh Jin-ho, and he was serving as the principal of the consulate.
And the woman who answered was a woman in her mid-30s, about 170 cm tall, wearing a suit style with a combination of solid colors.
The name of this woman who gave off the feeling of her secretary was Park Hee-hyeon, the principal’s secretary.
The two continued their conversation.
“I didn’t pass easily during the last vacation…. This time, I’m going to bite you very hard.”
“Once you look at the stolen items, they seem to have a clear purpose.”
“… Capsule.”
The man frowned as he recalled the capsule in the VR training center at the consulate.
“Shit… Have you contacted them?”
“Yes. However, Evrica, which rented the VR capsule, has not yet given a specific answer.”
“I’m going crazy…. I’m more concerned about you than the guys I’m looking at right now….”
Erica Company.
It was the only company in the world that currently exists that makes and sells VR devices.
It mostly operates by selling VR headgear, and occasionally rents VR capsules to important institutions in several countries.
And one of the places where the VR capsule was rented was the consulate.
I know that you can buy a VR capsule in the world, but in reality, it was only done by rental.
The Ebrica Company was only lending to institutions that met the strict conditions they had set up.
And management was strictly managed only with employees sent by the company.
“If I tell you to take out all the capsules, I don’t know if I’m the only one who cuts off my tail and resigns as principal.”
“That would be…. Possible…. But….”
“… Just tell me you can.”
The man grunted with a grim expression and headed for the central building.
..
..
At the place where the two men and a woman arrived earlier, there were already passengers.
The number of people is 4 people.
It was two men and two women.
People of different ages sat down at a table and started a conversation.
“This… Principal, it is said that this happened to bring about early retirement, is that correct?”
“What? This madman….”
The man who asked the first question calmed the atmosphere with a giggle.
In the middle of such a light conversation, the one called the principal came back to the point and proceeded with the conversation.
“Here is the leader of the three guilds and the representative of the Tower… And… Even the head of the church who hasn’t arrived yet… Thank you for coming.”
“Did you find out who he was?”
“… Not at all. If it’s a guy you’ve probably seen somewhere, you’ll get a feel for it. They were the first ones I had ever seen.”
The people who were called the leaders of the three guilds were talking to each other.
“I looked at it for a while, but the outer skin wasn’t normal.”
“When you see a weakness, it seems like nothing special….”
“The problem is that magic doesn’t work on the outer skin.”
“Oh My God… If people like that run rampant, the magic department cadets might have a hard time getting a job.”
Even though it was obviously a big event, the conversation among the people in the room seemed light, at the level of a conversation about a couple fighting in the neighborhood.
They talked to each other about the raid on the consulate.
In the meantime, the woman who was called the representative of the tower, whom she had not said a word to until now, quietly raised her hand.
Long hair, beautiful eyes, and neat clothes… There was a girl
She was a girl who looked only about thirteen years of age, even if I estimated it.
Even so, the principal asked such a child, bowing her head with her honorific.
“Yes, please tell me. Yeriel.”
Yeriel is classified as the highest level wizard in the magic category.
At some point, her physical growth stopped, and her appearance was that of an elementary school student, but she was old enough to be respected by everyone.
Yeriel asked her headmaster with a blank expression.
“Have you figured out the purpose?”
“… It is a capsule.”
“It’s a big deal.”
With those words, Yeriel closed her eyes again and fell silent in her thoughts.
With her silence, the leaders of the three guilds started talking again.
“If it’s a capsule, isn’t security as thorough as usual?”
“… And yet she was taken over. I’m also looking for the security chief guys… There is no news that they have found it yet.”
“There are two reasons….”
“Either it’s a group, or they’re hoping to recover the body somewhere….”
The people in the room here decided they must have died.
If this was the case, there was no need to bother keeping the guards alive.
As we were having such a conversation, someone entered the principal’s office.
“Oh, oh, sorry for being late.”
A man with a big smile on his face entered slowly.
The man in the white suit was around 170 in his mid to late 170’s.
Appearance was that he looked like he was in his 50s.
He entered with a grin and sat across from Yeriel.
The principal looked at the man in the white suit and opened his mouth.
“Thank you for coming.”
Haha~ The principal called me, not anyone else, so I have to come.”
The man in the white suit gently raised his palms upwards and smiled broadly.
His identity was Shin Seok-kwon, the religious leader.
He opened his mouth with a smirk.
“As I came, I heard the whole situation. As soon as we return to the church, we will dispatch our members.”
“Thank you. Thanks to….”
“Only!”
“… ?”
At Shin Seok-kwon’s words, everyone turned their heads and looked at him intently.
And he confirmed that all eyes were on him and opened his mouth with a smile.
“We will retrieve all the body of that monstrous creature.”
“….”
Not only the principal, but also the leaders of the three guilds responded to his intentions in silence.
The church’s influence here was indescribably powerful.
The consulate is a state institution, but it is not run by state taxes.
And 70 percent of the consulate’s operating funds come from the denomination.
And the other 30 percent was donated by the top and the other three large guilds.
Not only the headmaster of the consulate, but also the leaders of the other three guilds were reluctant to bother with faults.
While everyone was silent, one of them raised his hand stiffly and expressed his disapproval.
“That won’t work.”
Haha…. Yeriel.”
Shin Seok-kwon smiled brightly and responded to her.
“I didn’t ask for your consent, did you?”
“….”
“If not… Yeriel today… No, do you have the ability to quietly bury yesterday’s consulate incident?”
“….”
Shin Seok-kwon looks at him with a bright smile, and Yeriel glares at him with an expressionless expression.
The world’s greatest religious organization and the tower, which always took its place in the shadows behind it, were like enemies.
However, the difference in capital, a group rooted enough to wield the political and business world, and a strong power to suppress the media.
The dynamic relationship was so clear that it would not be an exaggeration to say that God had created an insurmountable wall between the first and second groups.
Despite such a difference in strength, Yeriel did not show any signs of backing down.
Fortunately, there was someone here who could mediate between the two. The headmaster opened his mouth.
“That… Mr. Yeriel. I think you will have to step back this time.”
“… Huh. Do whatever you feel like.”
She closed her eyes and started her silence again.
Shin Seok-kwon clapped his hands in a small voice and said.
“Then I understand that there is no objection. Of course, we will take care of the outside media as well.”
“….”
Everyone had dissatisfaction on their faces, but no one raised an objection.
