Academy Silver Gatekeeper

142 – You and I Both Go to Work on the Weekend – 1

“Examiner. Are you really okay? If you feel unwell, immediately…”

“Hey, you know that if you say that to the examiner, it’s exactly the hundredth time, right?”

Meanwhile, Hyunwoo Lee, were you counting them one by one? That’s amazing.

Anyway, just as he said, Su-hyeon’s worries continued.

I’m sure you have some idea of my physical condition as you keep coming to visit me.

Since I rested for over a week, there should be no problem moving now.

Anyone who sees me will think I’m a child a year or two older.

“Yes, Suhyeon. I’m really okay, so stop now. If you keep doing that, Hana’s position will be in trouble.”

It wasn’t for nothing. In fact, Kang Hana had been watching this side even before she entered the portal.

If Soo-hyeon continues to do this, she is ready to commit the grave sin of saying, ‘I’m sorry!’

It’s not the academy or even weekdays, so why are you doing this all of a sudden?

Why does Soohyun keep acting like I’m worried about me?

The reason was none other than work related to the Magic Tower Clan.

“I am truly sorry, Examiner Baek Seo-jin. But since I joined the clan team, there wasn’t much activity, so I had no choice. I’d like to ask you to do one dungeon this weekend. “I hope you understand.”

Shortly after returning to the academy after a short and long stay in the hospital.

The Master of the Magic Tower Clan, Kang In-beom, came to see her and spoke with an expression of regret.

It seems he was quite bothered by the fact that he was forced to do clan work as soon as he returned.

In fact, this side did not mind the request.

In fact, I felt sorry that I didn’t pay any attention to it after joining the clan.

About a month has passed since I joined the Magic Tower Clan and the team was chosen.

However, for one reason or another, I wasn’t actually doing any clan activities.

Judging at the Academy, the Gate incident, and the Monster Cataclysm.

Now that I had to fight with the Elder, I actually had no choice.

“Especially because of the gate incident and the monster upheaval, the government is urging each clan to increase their dungeon clearing activities…”

In order to fill the quota set by the country, all teams must be rotated.

It’s to the point where we have to mobilize not only our team but all other off-duty members as well.

Kang In-beom’s explanation was that he hopes people can understand the situation as it is a situation.

What do you say there? How can you say no? I belong to the Magic Tower Clan.

If the clan master says ‘I don’t like it’ when it’s not an order but a request, you’re crazy.

Otherwise, Irina’s madness… No. Did she say that Irina also works as much as she gets?

“So I chose a dungeon that was as easy to clear as possible. Located in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi-do…”

“No, Clan Master.”

I am always grateful for your willingness to accommodate our convenience.

They take care of me in case my body is still in normal condition, and of course it is.

But the current situation is not so relaxed.

If you lie down in the infirmary just because you got a little scratched, you will go straight to the coffin.

Even though there was some blood and my skin was scratched, I could tell it was time to move.

“If you are going to have to do clan activities anyway, it would be better to choose a more difficult dungeon rather than a more comfortable one. If possible, a B-grade dungeon.”

“B grade? These days, grade B is no longer grade B, so is that really okay?”

At Kang In-beom’s words, I nodded as if it was natural.

First of all, Kang Hana, who is responsible for the team’s firepower, is a decent B-level player based on ability.

Dasom Yu also has quite a bit of practical experience, so she should be able to handle it.

But Kang In-beom’s worries seemed to lie elsewhere.

“Well, I heard that the male student named Lee Hyeon-woo is still Bronze by Academy standards.”

“If you think about it that way, Judasom is also bronze.”

“But Yu Dasom was originally at Gold level, but wasn’t she dropped on her own accord?”

“You don’t have to worry. “I will guarantee Lee Hyun-woo’s skills.”

Kang In-beom immediately kept his mouth shut when he said that the guy who was fighting with the Elder would vouch for it.

On the contrary, he seemed to be curious about Lee Hyun-woo since I said he would guarantee it.

“… I understand. Then, um. There was news that a B-grade dungeon occurred in Changwon. I think I can go there this Saturday and clear it.”

That’s how I came out to use the portal today, Saturday morning.

Afterwards, I met with my team members and after a brief greeting, I boarded the portal heading straight to Gyeongnam.

“Welcome, everyone. “I was waiting.”

As we went outside, we were greeted by a dispatcher from the Magic Tower Clan who had been waiting for us in advance.

There were two people standing next to them, slightly dressed, and they appeared to be people with special abilities who belonged to the government.

They are probably here to check and report on the clearing of this dungeon.

“You said you don’t have time, so let’s move right away. “You requested a B-grade dungeon, is that correct?”

When I nod, the dispatcher says he has confirmed and writes something down on the document.

It seemed as if they had already been notified that there was no word about the personnel here.

“He has confirmed. Please follow me. It takes about 30 minutes by car to get to the dungeon.”

Leave the portal and follow the dispatcher.

When I went outside, I saw a lot of people around me.

At first glance, it feels like this is some kind of airport.

“There are so many people.”

Lee Hyeon-woo, who was walking out from behind, exclaimed and said that.

Then Kang Hana said, “Isn’t that obvious?” He tilts his head.

“Were there this many portal users? “I think it’s a bit too much.”

“Ah. That’s it.”

The answer was given by a dispatcher from the Magic Tower Clan who was ahead.

“Wasn’t there an uproar over the gate incident not long ago? After that, there was a monster upheaval. Meanwhile, my anxiety grew that if I didn’t keep clearing the dungeon, even the dungeon could go into chaos.”

“Have there been any reports of problems in the dungeon itself yet?”

“That’s true, but isn’t there something that can’t be done about human psychology? Always assume the worst. And the worst naturally affects the government.”

And the government told all clans to mobilize as many people as possible to clear the dungeon.

If I don’t deal with it right away, I will be put at a disadvantage.

The conclusion was that the clan had no choice since there were so many people in a sense of crisis.

“Then all those people over there… ” .”

“Yes. These are people with special abilities dispatched from different clans. Most of them will go into dungeon raids.”

It turned out that we weren’t the only ones mobilized for the weekend.

Given the situation, would you say it almost feels like an emergency mobilization order has been declared?

Thanks to this, my condition, which was a bit bad for working on the weekend, has improved significantly.

If I had to go through this hardship alone, I would be so unfair that my hands and feet would tremble and my eyes would tremble.

But what if that hardship turns out to be the same hardship as everyone else?

They just smile and say that we should all suffer together.

“There are so many people coming, but the actual scale of dungeon conquest is similar to before.”

“Yes? Why?”

“Don’t you know? After the monster cataclysm, the number of people in operation was at least double that of the previous one. There are many people, but they are actually similar.”

Are they rushing to push the numbers because they haven’t been able to raise the level quickly yet?

It’s not the wrong way. However, this cannot be said to be a perfect solution.

Makeshift. Yes, it can be said to be exactly at that level.

There are limits to pushing through numbers. Because the most valuable thing in the world is human resources.

If it gets a little worse here, there will be many casualties.

“There’s a car coming over there.”

As expected, the vehicle stopped in front of us, probably prepared by the Magic Tower Clan.

I got into it and headed to the place where the dungeon would be the stage for today’s activities.

“You probably know the dungeon you’ll be going to today, but it’s B-grade and the environment inside is nothing special. However, most of the monsters inside are direwolves and the boss is the same.”

“A direwolf is a very annoying monster.”

Kang Hana nods her head as if she agrees with Dasom Yoo’s words.

“If it was a direwolf, was it that big wolf monster?”

“Yes that’s right.” “Junior.”

“But what do you mean by very annoying?”

“Excuse me. Junior? Didn’t you listen to the lecture? If I were a direwolf, I would have attended a lecture at least once.”

Then Hyunwoo Lee said Haha! He smiles and avoids answering.

It’s worth knowing. I guess I just sat there without paying attention to the lecture.

They say I’m the type of person who only focuses on using my body and has no interest in theory.

Hard-working protagonists are one of the two. Either you are strong in theory, or you are weak in theory.

“They work as a group, and their cohesion is amazing. One, the power alone is not that strong, but moving in groups is very dangerous. You can think of it as a well-organized cogwheel.”

“The boss is also very clever, so he is one of the more difficult monsters among Class B monsters.”

“I heard it too. “The risk of one individual is simply low, but the risk of all is high.”

What. Even Soo-hyeon knew it well, but Lee Hyun-woo, he was the only one who really didn’t know.

This. No matter how strong you are in practical skills, if you are poor at theory, you will be ranked low at the academy.

When I go back later, I think I’ll have to study that at least.

I glanced outside. An extremely ordinary scenery catches my eye.

Above it, the phrase ‘Welcome to Changwon.’ Appeared.

“…”

What. This sudden ominous feeling.

It feels strangely strong. Sad premonitions are always wrong.

‘I wonder if something is going to happen in the dungeon.’

I guess I’ll have to pay more attention to the situation once I enter the dungeon.

I repeated this to myself and clenched my fist.

Talk-

At this time, something suddenly hits the side of my hand and passes by.

When I turned my head, a pure white hand was sitting next to mine.

“Suhyeon?”

“You don’t look good. What’s going on?”

“No. “Nothing happened.”

“I’m glad if that’s the case.”

It’s me, Suhyeon. At the same time, he is secretly holding my hand.

I was thinking about talking about that part, but decided to just leave it at that.

Thanks to the warmth I felt in my hands, the ominous feeling subsided a little.

This warmth coming from Suhyeon wasn’t that bad.
