◈ Find someone (4)
“hello? May I call you Lord?”
When Oh Yoon-ha, who had finished preparations, saw Ahart, he spoke softly. She has met her face a few times on the way to and from her, even though there is no face-to-face meeting. Her Ah Heart nodded her head to see if Oh Younha’s face was in her memory.
“It’s okay to call me whatever you like. Oh Yoon-ha.”
“Ahaha. You remember the name. I see, my lord.”
“Yes, please. More than that, Miss Noah . . . is what you have heard.”
Ahart looked at Noah Park, who was blankly standing next to Arwell. Behind Park Noah’s back was a wooden sword imbued with faith.
“Miss Arwell. You don’t need that, do you?”
Pointing to the wooden sword, Arwell smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“It’s not going to let go of it, it’s always holding it. It seems to be psychologically stable.”
“Is it because of faith? You must be tired too, but thank you for coming.”
“no. I can’t let Noah go by myself, and I’ve only heard about it.”
Having said that, Arwell looked at me. It’s a look that asks for a detailed explanation.
“Where did you get the explanation?”
“I only heard that you were going to find Ryu Seo-yeon from Black Hawk.”
. . . that’s really cool.
When he turned his head, Oh Yoon-ha tapped his chin as if it was annoying. I mean you explain it properly. uhm. I’ve never really talked about Black Hawk before, so I’ll have to explain it clearly at this point.
“Until yesterday, Black Hawk had been occupied by demons. While Ahat-nim went there and removed all the demons, Ryu Seo-yeon and his staff were nowhere to be seen.”
Ahat, who was listening to me, nodded and agreed.
“There must have been something wrong. If I thought I was going to another safe place under the current circumstances, I would have gone to the place where my sister, ‘Ryu Seo-hyun’ was. We plan to go there.”
Oh Yoon-ha asked with her arms crossed.
“What does Ryu Seo-hyun do to make it safer than Black Hawk?”
“Red Hawk Mercenaries. As the name suggests, they’re a mercenary group under the Black Hawks. As Ryu Seo-hyun resigned as CEO, he began to lead the existing mercenaries.”
It was also tasked with guarding the Black Hawk.
There was also a difference in that the proportion of non-awakened people was higher than other mercenaries because they were supported by Black Hawk’s weapons.
“Aside from the Black Hawk’s escort, our main mission is to be outside and close to the perimeter.”
Originally, the Red Hawk mercenaries mainly used to subdue monsters, but as the situation is, I wonder if they are blocking the demons coming from outside.
“Then you can go there. let’s hurry.”
Oh Yun-ha passed me by loosening her neck.
“Then let’s get going.”
Ahat followed him, followed by Arwell and Noah Park. I followed in the back, thinking about the conversation I had with Ahat earlier.
It’s the magic of the wind attribute…
[-As you know, it is dangerous magic just to learn it, so think carefully.]
Ahat encouraged me and warned me at the same time.
The reason why I wanted to learn the magic of the wind attribute was probably because I had a strong will not to pass on the magic to my daughter.
If you can’t do it with the tower anyway, it may not be a bad decision to inherit the wind magic as it is. Because he could play the role of the Joker.
···the problem is.
‘It means that there will be no specials.’
Although all other attributes were there, there were no privileges to be activated as much as the wind attribute. [Exploring the essence] It will help you as much as you learn the traits, but other than that, you have to express yourself with your pure abilities.
As a former pro gamer, I’m not a game, it’s real magic. is that possible
Then, as he got closer to the school gate, Oh Yun-ha clicked his tongue.
“Okay. It’s not like I’m arguing again.”
Outside the gate, the yangbans I saw yesterday were still waiting. …I guess I’ll wait over there all day. How do you deal with conscious awareness?
“Is it that bad?”
At Arwell’s question, Oh Yoon-ha shook her head with a tired expression.
“You must have been through it already. Because they make a fuss at aspiring heroes. You know what’s funny? If we scatter, the demons will kill us, so we are killing them over there in the name of arguing with the academy.”
It seems that they are small guilds. but. So even the instigators who are in their midst can’t be caught.
“Still, we will wait until the situation is stabilized, and after some time we will get tired of the work and split up after reaching an agreement. The problem is we have to go out.”
“Because of a misunderstanding?”
“okay. I mean, everyone except the people you know knows that you are the cause. The same goes for the Red Hawk mercenaries. I don’t even know that Seoyeon has solved the problem, but it seems like a misunderstanding and there’s no way I can say it.”
“… well. It is.”
I had such a problem. Ryu Seo-yeon could even talk to Ryu Seo-hyun, but he wouldn’t tell anyone other than him.
In the end, I had to be aware that outsiders could also treat me as the cause of my extinction of protection.
“I might be attacked, so I have to be nervous. ···what?”
Everyone with me stopped at the sight in front of me. It was inevitable because the Imperial Knights were standing in front of the school gate.
I asked, pointing to the knights.
“…were you waiting there in the first place?”
“no···? It felt like I was acting separately from the Yoosung Academy.”
I feel like I should. I moved the steps I had stopped and walked to the school gate.
At that moment, the one who looked like the knight leader raised his hand. Doo Doo! Perhaps it was a signal, and the knights who had been standing still began to move in unison.
Along with Oh Yun-ha’s bewildered voice, the sound of clamming armor resounded. Soon, the school gate opened and the knights stood outside at an angle to either side. And they blocked the way of the forces waiting outside the gate.
“Are you knights?”
“Why all of a sudden?!”
Surprised by the grand move, the forces flinched and retreated.
Is this Yuria, one of the things that the princess came up with? I don’t think it’s just an antagonism. Oh Yoon-ha approached me and poked my side with her elbow.
“What did you talk about with the princess?”
“···I don’t know either.”
Anyway, I’m not going to make any fuss around here with this. At least no one here will be chasing after you.
“Good. Branch.”
Ahat showed a dry reaction as to whether there was any particular inspiration and walked among the knights. Before long, we followed him.
Noah Park stared at the armed knights, but soon lost interest and followed Arwell.
It would have been much faster if it had moved with Ahat’s wind magic, but it was able to attract attention, so I used walking. This is because if you bring in other hostile forces, you will be in trouble in many ways.
“It seems more desolate than I thought.”
Arwell looked around and said.
The Yoosung Academy has been invisible for a long time. The sun was setting slowly because we left in the afternoon. Oh Yoon-ha also looks a little nervous as it is her first time coming here.
A blue energy was flowing from Oh Yun-ha’s body, which was used to detect by spraying mana everywhere.
“I don’t feel popular. Is everyone scattered and hiding?”
“Well. If you can’t feel it, then there aren’t that many Awoken.”
Considering that they also enter the tower and other Awakened missions outside, it is not incomprehensible that there are few people who stayed in the safe zone.
“Still, there are only a few people, but this place is a bit neat.”
There were many places that were destroyed near the tower, but this place was relatively clean.
It also meant fewer collisions. It’s probably because some force is controlling it. It seems to have come right.
“Everyone back…, Kek!!!”
I tried to shout at the activated perk, but I was speechless. Perhaps it was because Noah Park moved quickly and dragged the back of my neck because I felt threatened.
Taang!
At the same time, a bullet was put in the place where I was. There were no successive shots. It was a threat not to come any closer than this.
“Looks like you’ve come to the right place.”
I pulled out the holy sword from my shoulder. If Seo-yeon Ryu said it, they would see this and notice it.
With the spirit, the holy sword emitted a divine light. Holy power began to fill the empty downtown area.
“Ugh…?”
blink blink.
Soon in response there was a light striking my face. When I turn my head, I see a flashing light from the upper floor of the building on the right. It seems to be taking the border from the other side.
“Let’s go.”
We moved around the building, being vigilant. Fortunately, it was a threatening shot, and another attack did not come.
‘It must have been the 12th floor before.’
He climbed the stairs and quietly opened the door while covering himself with the holy sword.
shudder. Then, perhaps waiting, six armed soldiers aimed their guns at us. His face was also wearing a helmet, so he couldn’t tell who it was.
“I think the Red Hawk mercenaries are right.”
As Ahat said, the protective clothing they wore had a red hawk engraved on it.
“If you move, I will shoot you. For what purpose did you come?”
At the threat, I threw the holy sword on the floor and raised my hand. Others followed me and raised their hands. Noah Park just stayed silent.
“My name is Seo Ji-han. I’m here to find Ryu Seo-yeon. As proof of identity, this is a holy sword, and the case I put on my back is Black Hawk’s custom weapon.”
At that moment, the soldier who muttered my name gently took off the helmet he was wearing.
Oh Yoon-ha’s eyes widened. It is because she has a face similar to Ryu Seo-yeon. However, her eyes are sharper and more mature.
Looking at it like this, she looks a lot like Ryu Seo-yeon.
That face in my memory is correct. When I saw him running until the real game, it was clear that he was Ryu Seo-hyun. Ryu Seo-hyun said while still looking at me.
“I’ve never heard of Seo Ji-han. Why are you looking for Seoyeon?”
“Negotiations with the imperial family will proceed only if you bring Seo-yeon Ryu.”
If Seo-yeon Ryu had come here, she would have explained the situation to some extent. Ryu Seo-hyun’s eyes softened slightly when he mentioned something that he didn’t know if he didn’t know Ryu Seo-yeon.
“Where is Ryu Seo-yeon now?”
“I can’t tell you.”
However, Ryu Seo-hyun answered my question firmly.
“…why? Proof of identity is not enough.”
“I can’t help it. There are demons that can camouflage themselves by wearing other people’s skins. You can’t prove other people’s identities without knowing it, can you?”
“Then what should I do?”
“no. Are we under no obligation to take risks and cooperate?”
Seohyun Ryu smiled and put on the helmet again.
“Go back now. If you don’t want a hole in the wind.”
…is that his sister’s love? As I thought about what I was going to say, Ahat, who was behind me, stepped out.
“I can’t do that.”
With him the gunshots began to sound without further warning.
Whoa! Of course, the bullets were torn to shreds by the wind curtain that Ahat opened.
“… is it a wizard Who are you?”
Realizing that there was no meaning, Ryu Seo-hyun raised his hand and stopped shooting. Ahat made a hard voice with a grim expression on his face.
“He is doing business with your brother. If you can’t bring it, I’ll have you contact Ryu Seo-yeon. I just made one concession to you.”
tuk. The last bullet that floated in the air fell to the floor.
There was no response to the attack. And he threatened to kill them all if he wanted to.
Ryu Seo-hyun turned his gaze to me from the bullet that had fallen.
Jigsaw! At that moment, a sound came from the radio that Ryu Seo-hyun was hanging.
[-president! What are you doing now!]
In response to the urgent voice, Ryu Seo-hyun frowned and answered.
“Why, mamma.”
[- Five presumed demons are running towards it!]
“Shake. Everyone to the location!”
Koo! As soon as Ryu Seo-hyun shouted, the building began to shake. It was clear that the demons were jumping from the first floor.
Everyone skillfully found a seat, probably accustomed to the sudden change, and a nearby soldier looked out the window.
However, the radio rang one beat later than the soldier’s question.
[-One is climbing up the outer wall!]
Clink! The thick window shattered and the soldier’s torso flew away.
Everyone’s eyes turned to the window when they heard the unpleasant sound hitting the wall. A giant holding the soldier’s head was coming through the crack in the broken window.
“I told you it was a mess, but the rats were hiding here.”
“shooting!”
He started firing bullets without saying who was first. However, he couldn’t even scratch the demon’s skin.
“Sheesh! I have brought something strange again!”
A necklace with red aura was visible on the demon’s neck. No matter how magical it is, it is not a body that cannot be pierced by bullets.
‘Is it an artifact of body strengthening?’
If that’s an artifact level, it won’t work unless it’s an explosive level attack. Still, there was a physical blow, and Mine did not come forward, swearing at her.
“These bastards!!!”
Ryu Seo-hyun looked at us and shouted.
“You are the Awakened! What are you doing just watching!”
“Ah, wait a minute…!”
Oh Yoon-ha tried to step out, but I caught him. When I glanced back, Noah Park was just standing still.
It’s better to judge the situation than you think. It seems that communication will be possible in a little while.
“wait. If you think the situation will become dangerous, then subdue it.”
I whispered to Oh Yun-ha and approached the soldiers who were shooting hard. Ryu Seo-hyun looked at me and Ma-in in turn. His helmet didn’t show his face, but he’s probably full of doubts.
“What are you doing now…”
“Then let’s make a deal!”
He raised his voice so as not to be buried because of gunshots.
Ryu Seo-hyun asked in an embarrassed tone. I put the holy sword that had fallen on the floor on my shoulder and smiled.
“Let’s do business too.”
