Academy Silver Gatekeeper

151 – The Worst Things Always Come on Top of Each Other – 2

Bastards. Still, it was sturdy built enough to be a secret laboratory.

When I came out and looked, it seemed like about half of it was still fine.

Even though Hyun Soo-jin and I fought so hard, it looks like only the areas directly affected have collapsed.

I get irritated when I think about how much tax was spent on this.

Wooooo!—

When we finally emerged from the underground, what greeted us was a huge cavity emitting an ominous howl.

The moment that black maw opens its mouth, monsters pour out.

And, of course, the grade of that gate was estimated to be S grade.

What kind of monster will come out from there? How strong is that guy?

What should I do with the damn gate? I am filled with all kinds of worries.

While fighting with Hyun Soo-jin, my stamina and magical power were greatly depleted…

“Wait, stop. “Where are you going now?”

As soon as I felt the presence becoming increasingly blurry, I immediately grabbed Hyun Soo-jin.

“Where are you going? Of course I should run away. You say you’re talented, but I’m not. Am I a villain? “It doesn’t matter whether the gate appears and this area is devastated or whether people get hurt or not.”

“…”

Fuck. I can’t refute it because it’s so correct in every detail.

However, if I send Hyun Soo-jin, I don’t have the confidence to handle it alone.

I wouldn’t know if her body was in good condition, but I lost all my strength from hitting and fighting with this woman.

Oh, I don’t know. If it weren’t for Hyun Soo-jin, it would have happened, so this is also Hyun Soo-jin’s fault.

So, this woman should close that damn black mouth together with me!

“… Are you sure it’s okay?”

“What. Oh, are you asking about abandoning you, an acquaintance of my fiancé? I don’t care anymore? Since you rejected my offer, it’s either fight or die…”

“That’s not it. If we don’t quickly deal with the monsters that come out of that gate, I’m sure we’ll be in a lot of trouble.”

At my words her her her, Hyun Soo-jin narrows her eyes slightly and looks at me without saying a word.

Kugugu-

The gate entrance will open soon. The magic vibration is getting stronger.

You have to make sure to bite that woman here to be able to deal with her monster a little faster.

“I heard it’s S-rank. Then the monsters will be extremely strong. If he destroys the entire area, do you think the underground facility will be intact? Your plan to leave some behind as evidence will be disrupted.”

“That’s true, but…”

“And if that gate becomes unmanageable, the incident you so desperately want to reveal will quickly be buried. “The world reacts more sensitively to immediate threats than to things that have already happened in the past.”

Hyun Soo-jin said that the targets for revenge were all high-ranking officials.

And the way those high-ranking officials cover up their mistakes are the same as before and now.

Divert people’s attention elsewhere and deal with it secretly in the meantime.

In the current situation, what is more important than secret training and experiments is the S-class gate.

All of the situation’s understanding, post-event response, and public attention will be focused on it.

If the damage grows astronomically, reporters will also flock there.

“I think well. If this is not dealt with quickly, not only the entire area but also the surrounding area will be devastated? Then something like this will come out: They were conducting research and experiments to create a secret weapon in preparation for times like this. “Everything was for the survival of the Republic of Korea.”

“Who would believe that…”

“You don’t think I’ll believe it, do I? I will believe it. “If you see S-class monsters destroying all of them on broadcast.”

It seems that this party’s persuasion was successful.

Actually, rather than persuasion, it’s just a matter of speaking out.

Seeing Hyun Soo-jin thinking like that, it seems to be having an effect.

Kugugu-

“The gates will open soon. If you’re going to run away, run away. Well, I guess I’ll just hold out here alone and then we’ll sort things out together when reinforcements come. But in the meantime, the entire area will be completely devastated, there will be no trace of the research facility, and people will only remember the S-class gate and the monsters, not needing anything else.”

I pulled out the sword I had brought with me from the wreckage, indicating that I would not say any more.

And while looking at the gate, he didn’t even look at Hyun Soo-jin.

Of course, I was never cool on the inside.

‘Oh, I’m scared. If you really go there, it’s usually not that difficult.’

After the Gate incident, S-class people, like other people with special abilities, are being dispatched to all directions.

Even if you come as soon as you hear that the S-class gate has opened in Changwon, it will take at least 30 minutes.

That 30 minutes is enough for a monster to destroy an area.

So don’t go! Fight together! Even villains are not friendly with monsters.

If I fight that thing alone, I could really get screwed!

Those few seconds felt like minutes, no, hours.

We fought together, so let’s get along and work hard together on the weekend. Huh?

“… Fuck.”

That shit is definitely a beneficial shit. Yes, definitely!

“You bastard, why do you clean your mouth so well?”

She turned her body and looked at Hyun Soo-jin next to her, and felt relieved.

Phew. I almost had a hard time alone this weekend.

“You’ve never caught an S-rank monster.”

There are no monsters, but I think I caught something similar to that.

Like Kwak Hyuk, or you from a while ago.

Elder is also an S-rank superpower after all, so aren’t the two similar?

“If you’re thinking about that bastard Kwak Hyuk or me, get rid of it right away. Because fighting a ‘human’ and fighting that fucking monster would be completely different.”

Almost at the same time, Hyun Soo-jin and I jumped to the side as if we had made a promise.

Immediately after, an ear-splitting explosion of alcohol covered the entire world.

Quaang!―

It would have to be magic or an explosion of some sort to set me in decibels.

But the source of the sound was neither magic nor an explosion.

It was the sound of a large hand coming out from beyond the black maw and striking the ground.

“Hey! You can’t die?! It would be truly shameful for someone who endured both Kwak Hyuk and me to fall to a monster like that! You are embarrassed and so am I! Do you understand?”

“Where is the time to worry about that now!”

Why did he tell me not to think about fighting him or Kwak Hyuk?

I was finally able to figure out that they were comparing people and monsters.

What gradually appeared before my eyes was a literal monster.

It is so huge that you can barely see it if you tilt your head back.

The monsters I had faced before felt like nothing more than child’s play.

“Ah! It’s sick! I’m out of luck! Why are you one-eyed?!”

The identity of the monster that came out of Hyun Soo-jin’s mouth was none other than ‘Cyclops.’

As soon as I heard that, without even realizing it, I cursed and said, ‘Silly!’.

It does not have fatal poison or fire like other S-class monsters.

It’s not something that flies, or goes underground and makes surprise attacks.

They do not form groups like direwolves or use the environment like foghorns.

So it’s more of a problem. That’s why Hyun Soo-jin and I grit our teeth.

Even though it has no such peculiarities, it is still an S grade. You probably know what this means.

Although it does not have any special strengths, it was rated S grade purely due to its strength.

Wow! –

“Ugh!”

Me, crazy! This is just yelling? Isn’t this the lion’s hoo that appears in martial arts?!

For a moment, I felt like my body was being crushed. It’s not an illusion. That was indeed the case.

My mind becomes delirious and the magic power in my body literally becomes a mess and becomes distorted.

“Baek Seo-jin! Up!”

I know even if you don’t say it. You one-eyed bastard! Do you think I’m an ant?!

He barely escaped the feet of the guy who fell from above and rolled on the floor of the extension.

If you’re even a little late, you’ll be screwed. No, it would have been flattened to the level of A4 paper.

If such a crazy monster moves into the city, it will be a real disaster.

There will be huge casualties and the entire area will literally be devastated.

Even if we don’t go to the city, underground facilities will disappear.

That’s not possible. Although I really don’t like Hyun Soo-jin’s method.

On the other hand, I also think that her revenge is right to some extent.

To do so, some evidence must be preserved.

Attention should not only be focused on the S-class gates and monsters, but also on the facilities.

‘So, we have to capture that one-eyed bastard at all costs.’

– The third eye is activated.

◎ Silver gatekeeper

: The trait activation conditions have been met.

: The characteristic is being activated.

: Readjust the opponent’s rating.

: Grade adjustment – Determination of master or higher

Still, it doesn’t say that it can’t be determined like before. Should we consider this fortunate?

It’s not that it’s impossible to determine, but the fact that I got a grade is probably proof that I’ve grown as well.

◎ Sole review officer

: The characteristic is being activated.

: I am the opponent who did not receive promotion from Baek Seo-jin.

: Recognized as subject to review.

Big!—

The punching speed is incredible considering its size.

It’s almost like Hyun Soo-jin’s shadow. No, it is slightly faster.

I think this is why they call it a monster. This is a movement that would be completely impossible for a normal being.

◎ Overtime

: The trait activation conditions have been met.

: The characteristic is being activated.

: It is an undesignated location, but screening is possible.

“Big!”

Even if you keep a distance and avoid it, the shock is transmitted indirectly.

At this level, it is correct to assume that if you are hit properly, you will die.

It was worth standing at least one attack from Kwak Hyuk or Hyun Su-jin, but not that one.

– The gatekeeper’s characteristics are being displayed to their full potential.

So, is it a being that cannot be resisted? Is it something that cannot be stopped?

No way. If I had stopped thinking about things like that, I wouldn’t have come this far.

“Wake! “I’ll give you a chance to look back, so give it a try!”

“I understand, so please draw my attention properly!”

– All abilities have been amplified

I feel like the fatigue that was weighing heavily on my body has gone away to some extent.

Meanwhile, Hyun Soo-jin’s shadows rush towards Cyclops at once.

After exhaling lightly and saying, “Whoa,” I immediately kicked the ground and ran toward the guy.

– No one can pass without the gatekeeper’s permission.
