Academy Silver Gatekeeper

152 – The Worst Always Comes on Top of Each Other – 3

A branch of the Association of People with Talents in Changwon that was suddenly attacked.

Thanks to this, a great deal of confusion occurred, but that was not the worst thing.

A huge magical tremor occurred around the city center, and a gate appeared.

“Requesting support from the association headquarters?! You did it right? “Any news when it’s coming?!”

“We have decided to remove personnel from Busan as soon as possible! But it takes some time.”

“Why! The situation is so urgent, why is it taking so long?!”

“The portal became useless as the magical power supply here was cut off, and most of the roads leading into Changwon were damaged by the gate. I’m currently moving on foot and defeating the monsters that came out of the gate one by one…”

Not one, not two, but two-digit gates appeared.

Even considering the early gate incidents, gates have rarely been concentrated in one place to this extent.

And when something like this happened, it was usually accompanied by one thing.

A case in which all people with special abilities do not want to wake up with the feeling of ‘please’.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck! This is what happens when you come out of the S-class gate!”

Team Leader 1, who served as temporary branch leader in place of the missing branch leader, screams.

“What does headquarters say? When will S-rank support arrive?”

“Well, that… ” Even the closest person said it would take more than 30 minutes…”

“You mean you can’t come any sooner?!”

“Don’t you know? “Now this is really fast.”

The closest S class is more than two hours away by car.

Fortunately, it only takes about 30 minutes because the S-classes are outside of human standards.

Team Leader 1 also knows that fact well. However, the situation was so bad that we had no choice but to be urgent.

“Team Leader 1! This is a request for support! Grade A gate appears! They say there aren’t enough people there!”

“Can’t we remove more people who have been transferred to other places?”

“Yes. I guess we should divide up the people from each clan that came here…”

Team leader 1 shook his head at the words of the team member.

Most of the members of each clan have been drafted to take charge of the gate.

Since I was already conquering the dungeon, I was low on stamina and magic power.

Splitting the number of people further here will only worsen the situation rather than improve it.

“… Uh, uhh! Team leader!”

“Why again? Please don’t just give me bad news. Huh? Please.”

“Good news! Well, we just completed processing a Grade A gate! Monsters are down too!”

Team leader 1, who was about to exclaim in exasperation at his teammate’s words, closes his mouth.

Now, I’m more worried about how much damage my allies will take rather than dealing with monsters.

Closing one gate is not the end; we have to fight again.

“The damage here is.”

Please, please don’t die. Support is needed elsewhere too.

Team leader 1, who was praying earnestly in his heart, has a bright smile on his face.

The team members’ bright expressions showed that there were no deaths.

“There were no casualties.”

“Really?!”

“Yes. Aren’t there some members of the Magic Tower Clan that were in the branch earlier? It is said that they have provided support and are resolving the situation very effectively.”

*

Kieet!—

He plunges his sword straight into the throat of the screaming flying monster.

And then Lee Hyun-woo, who immediately twisted his sword and took his breath, took a breath.

With this, the Class A gate was closed for the second time. If you include the lower grades, it is fifth.

I feel a little tired, but not so much that I can’t bear it.

‘I gritted my teeth and trained physically to endure a little longer during the examination, and it is at times like this that it shines.’

As expected, his judgment was not wrong at all.

He said that he continues to grow just by looking at the evaluation without having to raise his grade.

Lee Hyeon-woo smiled, adjusted his sword, and turned around.

Then, Yu Da-som, who was waiting next to him, quickly begins treatment.

“No, junior. “Do you really have to laugh like that there?”

“Yes?”

“They say it’s very strange if you cut off half of a monster’s head and then suddenly laugh.”

Even just looking at it, it’s quite bizarre, and it’s even covered in monster blood.

Not only Yu Dasom, but others too would be shocked and want to step back.

Of course, Lee Hyun-woo had a nonchalant expression as if he was wondering what was the problem.

“It’s just that I feel very relieved. “Senior.”

“That’s strange too. “What is it about catching a monster and feeling relieved?”

Yu Dasom shakes his head and pats his back as if he is fed up.

This meant that the treatment was complete and I could move again.

Afterwards, when the two returned to their seats, Kang Hana, who was checking her magical power, asked a question.

“Dasom. Is it all over?”

“Yes, sister. You can move again.”

“Good. A request for assistance came from a place not far from here.”

“Is that also Grade A, senior?”

When Lee Hyun-woo asks that question, Kang Ha-na nods her head as if she is a little tired.

“Yes, junior. They even say the situation is worse there.”

“Oh oh! “I’m looking forward to hearing you say that!”

When people say the situation is getting worse, it’s not lament, but cheer.

It’s not even that I’m worried, I’m excited.

Kang Hana looks at that and says, ‘What on earth is this guy?’

Dasom Yoo, who was standing next to her, was sighing as if she was no different.

Once again, Baek Seo-jin, who watched the screening every day with this kind of person, is thought to be amazing.

“Excuse me. Shouldn’t we stop chatting and go quickly?”

Kim Soo-hyun, who had been quietly observing the situation until now, opens his lips.

Not only the clothes he was wearing, but also his hands, face, and hair were covered in monster blood.

Lee Hyun-woo is also Lee Hyun-woo, but Kim Soo-hyun also broke through a huge mess.

It’s understandable that the stickiness and bad smell would be unpleasant.

Kim Soo-hyun looked extremely calm and just asked to go to the next application location.

“Ruler! Let’s all move!”

Even without Baek Seo-jin, Kang Ha-na was filling the leader position well.

Jin, who is also her student council president, has secretly pushed her since her previous dungeon.

She usually takes command herself, but in times of emergency, she can take charge at any time.

And Kang Ha-na’s situational judgment and command proved to be good from the time she handled the fog call.

They arrived at the place where they requested support and soon encountered monsters.

Grumble!—

“Sister! Monster Encounter! “It’s a basilisk!”

At Dasom Yoo’s shout, Kang Hana thought to herself, ‘Why!’ And bit her lip.

Basilisk. It is one of the highest ranks among A-grade monsters.

It has hard scales, sharp fangs, and even poison, so it is not easy to be picky.

Even the weakest tail can be fatally injured if hit incorrectly.

One of the Basilisk’s weaknesses is that it is vulnerable to fire-type magic.

So most of them use powerful magic to prevent them from moving.

The problem was that although he was strong, he was more specialized in ice-types than fire-types.

It’s not that you can’t use fire-type magic at all, but its power is weak.

You can’t waste magic power on magic that can’t properly damage A-grade monsters.

“Senior. “How can I?”

“… Just keep doing what you were doing. My junior and Su-hyeon will tie the guy’s feet, and if I find an opportunity, I will randomly inflict fatal wounds. First, aim for the tail first. That long tail plays a role in controlling its balance, so if you cut it off, you can restrict its movements to some extent.”

Kim Soo-hyun and Lee Hyun-woo nod their heads and move left and right respectively.

The basilisk also focuses its attention in that direction, perhaps sensing a threat.

“Dasom. You…”

“I know. Not once or twice.”

Just because it’s an auxiliary class doesn’t mean it’s completely excluded from battle.

When the situation is not good like now, you have to go into battle at any time.

For that reason, Yu Dasom was also waiting with her shield and sword.

‘Thank god. I received swordsmanship instruction from her junior and the examiner.’

She is the one who fought hard while protecting Kang Ha-na in the previous battle.

In the past, she couldn’t have imagined it, but Baek Seo Jin’s advice was very useful.

“She should be able to protect herself. “It would be better if she could protect at least one other person there.”

That Baek Seo-jin is currently chasing and fighting the Elder.

If she had gone with them, she might have been of some help.

She also feels a little sad that Baek Seo Jin went alone.

But Dasom Yoo shook her head, saying that there would soon be a good reason.

Kyaaa!—

“Whoop!”

Kwaang!—

Lee Hyun-woo is hit hard by the basilisk’s tail and is pushed backwards.

Fortunately, it looks like the shock was alleviated by blocking it with a sword, but the expression on his face is not good.

Yu Da-som, who was in charge of Kang Ha-na’s front line, shouts out if she is okay.

In response, Hyun-Woo Lee waved his hand and made a gesture showing that it was worth holding on.

Wow!—

This time, the basilisk attacks, targeting Kim Soo-hyun.

Just by looking at him, he opens and closes his creepy mouth, and it looks like he’s going to chew up Kim Soo-hyun.

At that moment, Kang Ha-na’s magic exploded on him.

Although it is not a fire type that causes a lot of damage, the ice type also causes some damage.

Wow!—

When an ice pick gets stuck in its back, the basilisk twists its body as if it is very annoyed.

There is no sign of much pain. From the looks of it, only the scales were barely pierced.

“This seems to be much stronger than the A grade just a moment ago.”

Before catching up with the guy, Lee Hyun-woo secretly gives his opinion to Kang Ha-na.

This is not pointless passing. This is the conclusion I came to after encountering it sufficiently.

And Kang Hana nodded as if he agreed with that conclusion.

“It’s called a monster cataclysm. It looks like he was one of those who faced that upheaval.”

Just as the guy was about to target Kim Soo-hyun once again, Lee Hyun-woo cut off the guy’s tail.

Just a moment ago, he was next to Kang Hana, but in an instant, he took advantage of the gap and succeeded.

Kiek! Kieek!—

The guy, who was struggling in pain, sprays poison in all directions.

Unlike Lee Hyun-woo, who took a step back, Kim Soo-hyun went inward.

‘We can’t delay here. We have to go higher, higher.’

Even now, I think of Baek Seo-jin, who is fighting alone somewhere.

I was supposed to be by his side, but unfortunately he decided it wasn’t the time yet.

She knew the true intentions of Baek Seo-jin, who was trying to drop her.

So she whips herself even harder. This monster will be caught.

Others say they have become stronger, but they themselves are still dissatisfied.

No matter how fast the sword is, no matter how powerful the swordsmanship is.

That alone has its limits. With this, you can never get over her.

It needs to burn more. We must burn hotter.

After becoming a huge fire that will consume everything, it will burn everything.

Finally, you must become the spark that will warm Baek Seo-jin by his side

‘So!’

The moment when Kim Soo-hyun focuses all of his magical energy into the sword and thrusts it forward.

‘You can never have this!’

Crrrr!―

The red-hot flames struck the Basilisk’s body.
