Academy Silver Gatekeeper

146 – You and I Both Go to Work on the Weekend – 5

No one welcomes going to work on weekends.

It is a more severe ordeal than anything else. This is something I absolutely want to avoid.

But even so, depending on the situation, you may have no choice but to do it.

Like right now.

“Chief, Chief! “This is an email just sent from talented people in Changwon, and it’s unusual!”

“Mail? If it’s an email, you can just send it.”

“By the way, I feel like the manager needs to come forward for this email as well…”

Recently, all kinds of scary things have been happening, so the Association of People with Talents is on emergency standby.

The gate only appears if you ignore the installed suppressor and forget about it.

I have to rearrange the levels of monsters I’ve organized over the years from scratch.

Thanks to this, even the president of the association was having a hard time working overtime every day.

And Manager Park, who was put on emergency standby today, received the call and went to work right away.

I wondered why they were calling me out on the weekend, but it was clear that this was not the case.

“What. Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

As soon as he went to work at the association, Manager Park called the assistant manager who found him.

And after seeing the email the assistant manager showed him, he slowly looked at the assistant manager sitting next to him.

“… Holy shit. Hey, are you sure about this? Isn’t this a false report? Did you check the facts?”

“I’ve already made a few calls. I’m sure.”

“So how did you confirm the facts? “What is certain?”

“You just have to look at the personnel composition of the side that reported first.”

Manager Park immediately checked the personnel composition at the bottom of the email.

The names written there were as follows.

– Magic Tower Clan dispatch team: Kang Ha-na, Yu Da-som, Kim Soo-hyun, Lee Hyun-woo, Baek Seo-jin

“… Hey, wait a minute. “If you’re Kang Hana, aren’t you the daughter of the Magic Tower Clan Master?”

“You’re right. And Dasom Yu is the granddaughter of the CEO of Future Corporation.”

“Next to that… Crazy. “She was Kang Min-seong’s maternal granddaughter.”

“The last one is a big hit.”

Manager Park sighed after checking the name indicated by the assistant manager.

Isn’t Baek Seo-jin the most talented person recently mentioned within the association?

I survived several encounters with an Elder who was like hell itself.

They even engaged in combat twice and defeated the Elder both times.

However, the grade that comes out is B grade, so I am hearing a rare mystery.

“I think I had some suspicions at the scene and then quickly looked at the number of people and posted an email.”

I understand. Even if it were me, I would immediately give up my doubts and send an email.

Thinking this, Manager Park checked the contents of the email once again.

[Significant changes occurred in B-grade dungeons in Changwon]

[ Confirm that a fog lake is created inside where only direwolves were present ]

[There was nothing unusual in the reconnaissance a few days ago]

[Check environmental changes. There was nothing unusual, but now the fog is limiting visibility.]

My head is pounding. Just looking at them one by one, they are gem-like sentences.

“Hey. Did you check this after scouting the dungeon?”

“I did it before the manager went to work.”

“What does it say? “Did you really go in and check it three days ago?”

“Yes. The dungeon where direwolves appeared was just a plain area. There is a confirmation video, and the talented people in charge of reconnaissance have never had any problems so far.”

In response to the assistant manager’s words, Manager Park once again said ‘fuck you’ and swore.

If this were true, it could be said that it was a terrible situation.

It’s not that the dungeon doesn’t change at all. The internal environment or the entities that appear do change.

However, the change does not occur randomly. There is a certain cycle.

In order to find out the cycle, they conduct reconnaissance and regular raids.

But this incident turns all of that around at once.

‘I wish it were a dream.’

Going to work on weekends was terrible, but the reason was even more terrible.

There is no nightmare like this. I’m already feeling dizzy.

But the problem was that there was still one bigger thing left.

[Two boss monsters confirmed. ]

As for the above reports, yes, there is a possibility that the change cycle has changed.

However, the part where there were two bosses was impossible to explain.

“… Wait. “I’ll make a phone call.”

Manager Park returned to his seat and immediately called somewhere.

“Yes, conductor. This is Manager Park. Are you having a good weekend? … Ah, yes. Sorry. But this is such a serious situation.”

Manager Park conveyed the current situation to the Deputy Manager as consistently and accurately as possible.

And the conductor who heard the content was silent for a moment and then answered.

[ Manager Park. ]

“Yes, conductor.”

[I’ll contact the manager and go right away, so issue an emergency summons. Gather all teams. ]

“Ah yes. “I understand.”

The call ended with that.

Manager Park, who sat blankly for a moment, returned to the assistant manager’s side.

“What do you say?”

“… “Please call all teams.”

Then the assistant manager said, ‘Wow… ‘ .’ He sighs.

“Uh, Chief. If this happens, we…”

“You’re screwed. “In many ways.”

“Hmm.”

The president of the association was barely able to rest after working overtime for a whole month.

Currently, he was on his way to work at the association when he received another news.

After the Gate incident, the Association of Talented Persons became almost the top government agency.

And the head of that organization is at the same level as, or better than, a decent minister.

Even the president of such an association could never avoid going to work on weekends.

“President of the Association. This is Manager Cha. “I’m really sorry about the weekend, but it looks like something went wrong.”

“What issue is it?”

“… “No. 1, expected.”

No. 1. An internal code issued by the association when an extremely serious problem arises.

It was No. 1 even during the gate incident where suppressors were ignored and when the level of monsters rose rapidly.

And right now. The fact that there was a possibility of being number one again was that terrible.

The president of the association got into the car and headed to the conference room inside the association as soon as he arrived.

Each manager and all the personnel under them were already waiting there.

“The president of the association is coming in!”

“It’s done. Sit. “Isn’t the situation urgent?”

The president of the association skipped all greetings and looked at the manager next to him.

It was meant to report accurately to those who did not yet know the details.

“Then I will report the current situation. It came from Changwon about an hour ago…”

As the manager continues to report on the current situation, the expressions of the gathered people turn dark by the minute.

Even if not, I’m already on the verge of breaking my head due to previous events.

Now, even the once quiet dungeon has literally gone crazy, so how can I be peaceful?

“… So, to summarize, a sudden change inside the dungeon and an increase in boss entities. It will be these two things.”

“It’s a nightmare.”

Another manager blurted out those words without realizing it.

Even though the president of the association is like that, it means that he is almost out of his mind.

“… Who did you say made the first encounter?”

“We were the Magic Tower Clan’s dungeon suppression team that went down to Changwon. The staff consists of four students attending the academy and one staff member.”

“What is your name?”

“Academy students Kang Ha-na, Yu Da-som, Kim Soo-hyun, and Lee Hyun-woo.”

Every time the name comes up, people in the conference room sigh.

Aren’t they all already famous, either in terms of ability or socially?

It cannot be said that there was a false report or mistake.

“And this is Baek Seo-jin, the Academy rating judge.”

After hearing that, the president of the association stood up as if he had no more thoughts.

“Each team should immediately contact everyone on site and report the dungeon situation. We will immediately place a support team on standby for dungeons that already have a subjugation team in them, and for areas that are not there, we will control access and use a special team to identify them.”

“I understand, President.”

The people who were filling the conference room quickly left like the ebbing tide.

The president of the association, who had been sitting there until the end, slowly stood up.

“Whoa.”

After working overtime for 3 weeks in a row, I am now going to work on weekends.

I wanted to retire quickly, but I couldn’t.

If you give up when so many things are happening, it’s the same as running away.

‘The duty of an old person is not to pass on my burden to the young.’

First, we need to urgently meet with all the ministers of each ministry.

Next, you need to meet with the president and explain the current situation and its future impact.

Additionally, a meeting must be held with each clan master to discuss measures.

“… “I’d like to ask my seniors for some help.”

I don’t know about Ma Hak-jun, but Kang Min-seong can be said to be relatively relaxed.

The president of the association thought of him and decided to contact him first.

If Kang Min-seong’s disciples join us, the process of checking the dungeon will be twice as fast.

Turrrr-

A few phone calls passed and the old man’s voice was heard beyond them.

[ Association president? ]

“Yes, senior. “I’m sorry for being so unexpected on the weekend.”

[Where are you on the weekend? You must be busy. Why. What’s going on? ]

“I’d like to ask for some help, is that okay?”

The president of the association relayed the details of the events so far to Kang Min-seong.

In particular, wasn’t his granddaughter, Kim Soo-hyun, on the subjugation team that first entered the dungeon?

It was only natural for the president of the association, who knew Kang Min-seong’s utmost love for his family.

“So, we need to urgently check dungeons across the country, but we don’t have enough people.”

[I guess so. Aren’t we already operating double the number of gate standby teams and support teams? ]

“Yes.”

[ Uhm. ]

Kang Min-seong, who was silent for a moment, soon spoke.

[Let’s gather all the kids who are abroad. There will be enough guys to take charge of the front lines. The people who will take care of your behalf are the president of the association. You know that you have to save them, right? ]

“Yes, senior.”

[Good. Then, as soon as possible, take the kids to the association. ]

The association president, who was about to say thank you, tilts his head.

I suddenly felt a strange energy in Kang Min-seong’s answer.

“Um, senior? Did you say take the kids?”

[You heard it right. Why? ]

“Directly… Are you coming?”

Kang Min-seong is someone who has barely been active since officially retiring.

The only thing I could do was stop Hyun Soo-jin during the previous academy attack.

As you get older, your abilities rapidly weaken, so in a way, it’s natural.

[Why. Is it not possible? ]

“It’s not that it can’t be done, but…” ” .”

However, even though Kang Min-seong knew this, he was showing his will to go on his own.

When the president of the association asked the reason for that, Kang Min-seong burst out laughing.

[Actually, I’ve become a little impatient these days thanks to a young man. No, this guy taught me briefly and quickly made it his own. If this is the case, isn’t it natural to want to teach something even greater? However, my body seems stiff these days, so I think I need to loosen it up. That’s why I’m planning to go a little further, so I hope you understand. No, I do. Association president. ]
