103 – Awakened Shortview (1)

It was the next morning that Kang-woo realized something was strange.

When 8 a.M. Came and the safe zone closed and everyone began preparing for the 44th battle.

Kang Woo’s family noticed that the surrounding air was noticeably different from yesterday.

That too.

“Youngman, please talk for a moment-“

“Ah, ah…! Older brother! I decided to have a meeting with my team members! “I’ll come visit you later, brother!”

“Brother? Are you busy?”

“Ah, ah! Jeongmin! That’s because I’m in a hurry to go to the bathroom… I’m feeling sick today. Later. Talk to you later! Got it?”

This is because people who acted as if they would give me their liver until yesterday changed their attitude overnight.

“……What is this?”

Blatantly. It’s so obvious that everyone is avoiding them.

Fortunately, no one showed contempt or hostility… Well. If this situation continues, it won’t be surprising if their embarrassment turns to contempt at some point.

But you can only know the reason if there is someone to ask. It was impossible for Kangwoo’s family to understand this rapidly changing situation now that everyone was avoiding them, and so Kangwoo’s family had to start the fight.

A very uncomfortable battle.

“Everyone now…….”

Arrows fly from all over and the military flag lets out a sharp cry. In the middle of the battle. Kim Seung-ho, who was in the rear, gave a sharp opinion.

“It seems like they’re keeping us in check, right?”

It was like that. Even though they were not part of the same team, they fought together with strong camaraderie, swearing at the rookies and the bank guys.

Today, I was keeping them in check in a strangely noticeable way. As if not a single monster would be taken away from you.

“What is it really? Why are you doing that? “Youngman and the guy you became friends with yesterday also said the same thing.”

Lee Jeong-min, whose hands became lighter thanks to the obvious checks, frowned.

At that time, Kang-woo, who was at the forefront holding a shield to block the tunnel spiders, brushed off the mucus on Su-ho’s shield.

“I don’t know what it is. “I think it’s because of that person, right?”

“Hmm…….”

Lee Jeong-min followed where Kang-woo’s gaze was directed and swallowed his sleep.

An impressive face with a deep scar on the chin.

It is an unforgettable face.

He was called Kim Hyung by everyone and was the person they were pointing fingers at, saying they saw them entering the hotel two days ago.

“……What did that person say back then?”

“They say dogs imitate people.”

The corner of Yoon I-chan’s mouth twists up. Lee Jeong-min, who was next to him and glaring at Kim Hyeong with a gaze full of hostility, suddenly slapped his palms together.

“Ah! “Isn’t that the guy who started the rumor?”

“……You were just talking about that, right?”

“No, no. “That’s not what I’m saying.”

“……Yes?”

Lee Jung-min glared at Kang-woo for a moment, who had an expression that asked, “What kind of bullsh*t are you talking about?” And then lowered his voice and said.

“They are the ones who killed all the hobgoblins and goblin shamans when we went to the hotel on the first day! Isn’t that guy the one who started the rumor? “Then this situation fits perfectly!”

“……Oh?”

Kangwoo let out an exclamation.

It’s not people’s hostility or contempt, but their unhidden checks.

I don’t reject them outright, but when I heard Lee Jeong-min’s words and thought about the actions that made everyone uncomfortable, they really fit the bill.

Definitely. Such a reaction would not have been strange if they had realized that they were the ones who had captured all the hobgoblins and goblin shamans on the first day.

At the time, I just did it because I thought it was the most efficient and reliable method.

As a result, aren’t the rookies and bank guys shaking the damn thing when they see them occupying the hotel?

“……Then what should we do now?”

Yoo Seung-ah, who was busy shooting arrows, looked tearful.

“What…….”

Lee Jeong-min looked around and answered with a completely different look on his face than when he gave the answer.

“I guess I’ll just have to keep fighting like this without paying attention.”

“Ah….”

“Or, let’s move out of here and buy a building and live there.”

There were obviously two options that Lee Jeong-min mentioned, but everyone knew.

They knew that they would continue to fight like this with little notice.

But no one can.

“Kaaa-!!!!

“Hey, Seungho!!”

I didn’t know that this situation wouldn’t end with a mere glance.

“You, you now…!”

I never thought there would be an attack and that Moon Jun-hyuk would get hurt in the attack.

“Ha. hahahahaha… Nu, sis… You didn’t know that I would kill people before monsters… Right? hahahaha.”

So, I had no idea that Kim Seung-ho, who was so angry that he would commit his first murder.

No one really knew.

Inside a hotel suite with a panoramic view of the night view of Seomun-gu.

[Now again today, the Awakened Shorter View comes to the viewers! Today, we are hosting a very, very, very special person.]

In a brightly lit TV under dark lighting, an announcer with her hair neatly tied up smiled sweetly at the short-haired woman sitting opposite her.

[The only one in the world! We, Korea, are proud of having conquered the unknown level of the 70th floor! The world’s strongest wizard! Let’s invite Ms. Park Ye-rin!]

Clap clap clap clap!

Wheeik!

Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, the camera angle closes up a woman with short hair.

Below that, the words [World’s Strongest Wizard!] Are written in large letters, filling the bottom of the screen.

[……. It is a fact that every Korean does not know that Ms. Park Ye-rin goes beyond protecting Korea and travels around the world to clear gates that are about to break, so she lacks at least 10 body parts. Can I ask how you came up with the idea of appearing on our ‘Awakened Shortview!’ Amidst your busy schedule?]

[One of the programs I usually enjoy watching is Awakening Short View…]

The announcer’s face is enlarged as he is moved by the words that it is one of the programs he usually watches.

The announcer lightened the mood for a while with a light talk about the latest news, then immediately got into the main topic.

[Today is April 9, 2045. Two years have already passed since Yerin Park appeared as the world’s strongest wizard and caused an uproar in the world. It seems like it was only a few days ago that she met the world’s strongest wizard and felt like she could defeat any gate. Unfortunately, the current situation is not very good. The probability of gate occurrence is becoming more frequent, and the resulting gate break is in the news every day these days. What do you think about this, Yerin Park?]

[In fact, this is something that many enlightened people and researchers have said in the past that we must be careful. In fact, the increased probability of gate occurrence has been a phenomenon that has been occurring consistently for a very long time. I think the cost of not heeding these warnings at the time is only now being painfully felt in our lives.]

[I see. I knew this, but I am reflecting on it once again. So what should we do now that gates are increasing and gate breaks are occurring frequently?]

[……I think that each guild’s war of wits should stop even now. Rather than choosing a gate for mutual benefit. Even now, we must all work together and fight. Additionally, the government must do its best to support this.]

[You are correct. So, is there any way for ordinary people to help with this situation?]

[Of course. In the long run, there may be ways to become an awakened person, such as entering the tower or exercising to protect yourself. Even if it’s not something grand like this, it will definitely help you a lot if you just keep one thing in mind.]

[Just one thing. I’m curious. What is that?]

[When gate break occurs. Please follow the government’s guidelines and leave the area.]

[Ah… A tragic incident occurred today in which a creator did not immediately leave the area where the gate break occurred, and a class B hunter who was trying to protect the creator was seriously injured, right?]

[Yes, that’s right. Filming without leaving the area for personal broadcasting is not only a very dangerous act, but it also poses a lot of threat to us Awakened people. This is because there are many high-level awakened people who cannot demonstrate their full power in places where there are civilians. Like my ‘exploding fireworks’.]

[Ah….]

The announcer and Park Ye-rin talked for a long time about how to deal with the current situation and the precautions that civilians should follow. I brought up a light topic as if to brighten the mood for a moment.

[A-level awakener Kim Seung-ho is still a hot topic among the 38th awakeners, so-called ‘that person’ who climbs the tower alone, Choi Kang-woo, must conquer the tower and come out and put an end to this situation. It is currently becoming a hot topic because he said he would give it to him. What do you think about this, Yerin Park?]
