The Returner Wants Complete Victory

11 – 011. Raid

We actually succeeded in recruiting Seo Eun-ha.

A good boss should resolve the grievances of his subordinates.

So, I asked her about the outline of her planned attack on the merchant branch.

The results are very shocking.

He plans to set fire to nearby buildings with a Molotov cocktail to distract the Gladiator and rob the merchant union branch.

“Is it okay?”

I was shocked to hear that simple and ignorant strategy.

Are you sure you are getting this as a colleague? Do you think you’ll regret it already?

Even so, they are the only ones who can trust their eyes, so if they set fires here and there in the middle of the night and light it up brightly, then what? Are you asking me to kill you?

“… “At least this was the only way.”

Seo Eun-ha said, avoiding my gaze as if she were embarrassed.

Okay, what could be wrong with the kid?

It’s not like you can defeat Gladiator one-on-one.

It must have been a desperate plan that had no choice.

In fact, it was a bit harsh to say something harsh to a kid who was trying to go in knowing he was going to die.

“Tell me the location. “I’ll just go and come back.”

While saying that, he took out a potion from his bag and threw it at Seo Eun-ha.

Seo Eun-ha’s eyes opened wide after receiving the potion.

“Treat that person first. Instead, I’ll take the stat pills first?”

“okay. The stat pill is probably in the stairwell on the second floor. “I understand that the front door on the first floor was breached and held on that side.”

Seo Eun-ha nodded obediently when I told her she would take the pills.

After all, trying to collect the stat pills through gritted teeth was probably a self-rescue measure to protect oneself from Proa.

Now that I had declared my protection, he didn’t seem to feel like he needed it right away.

By the way, it’s on the second floor.

If you go to the second floor, there is no escape route, so you are absolutely exterminated.

Seo Eun-ha probably noticed that and ran away when the front door on the first floor was opened.

There is no need for Molotov cocktails.

I grabbed only my ax and crossbow and headed for the exit.

I caught a lycanthrope by myself, so what’s the problem with axing a few more gladiators to death?

Still, I felt a little more at ease thinking that I was going to fight like before without having to worry about it.

After all, songworms have to eat pine needles to survive. It is right for people to do what they are good at.

“… thank you.”

Seo Eun-ha muttered in a low voice behind her.

What am I thankful for? You will pay it all back later.

– Time remaining until tutorial ends: 22 minutes 15 seconds

As we got closer to the merchant union building, the number of gladiators increased.

There are only 4 that can be seen on the main street right now. I couldn’t estimate how many there would be, including those in the alleys and inside buildings.

I entered a building that was fairly far away and went up the stairs.

If it doesn’t work on the ground, go into the air. Isn’t it a time-honored tradition?

I succeeded in crossing the rooftop and arriving at the building right next to the merchant union branch.

However, since the merchant union branch is the tallest building in the area, it was impossible to jump from rooftop to rooftop.

I took out my crossbow and aimed at the window.

Clink!

Hmm…

Huh─.

Nearby gladiators reacted as if someone had shaken them while they were sleeping and bit them.

However, just like a person who wakes up from sleep, if there is no further stimulation, they will fall asleep again as if they never did before.

Of course, there may be someone wandering around like going to the refrigerator to get water.

However, gladiators are usually on the first floor or on the street after the initial attack.

How common would it be for someone to wake up and go up to the second floor to get water from the refrigerator?

– Time remaining until tutorial ends: 16 minutes 48 seconds

After waiting leisurely for about 5 minutes, the Gladiator’s groaning sound subsided again.

Let’s go into the building through the broken window and go down to the second floor that Seo Eun-ha mentioned-

Huh?

A gladiator wandering the hallway greeted me.

There was. A bastard going to get water from the refrigerator on the second floor.

Wow!

Ugh, what a sh*tty life.

I swung the ax at the gladiator.

*

Wow… .

Bo-kyung flinched her shoulders as she heard the gladiator’s scream echoing from afar.

“That’s it, right? It’s okay… ?”

“huh. It will be fine.”

Seo Eun-ha said, looking blankly toward the exit.

“Because I said I would protect you. “If you die here, I won’t be able to protect you.”

Bo-kyung seemed to have suddenly remembered those words, and with sparkling eyes, she stood next to Seo Eun-ha and asked.

“that’s right. “What was it earlier?”

“what?”

“I just said I would protect you. Have you known each other since you were originally on Earth?”

“no. “I saw it for the first time yesterday.”

“Then what? “Isn’t that what you confessed?”

Seo Eun-ha was impressed by Bo-kyung’s words.

“no.”

“I was dragged into another world as if I had been kidnapped, and a fateful encounter that came there… !”

Seo Eun-ha looked at Bo-kyung, who was alone in her delusions, with cold, salty eyes.

Bo-kyung just kept cackling as if she was aware of that fact.

Seo Eun-ha, who was unable to see anything, said as she gathered up the weapons she had put down.

“sister. “Your arms are all together, right?”

“huh? Uh, yeah.”

“Take the spear. “Let’s go just in case.”

“Oh, yes! okay!”

I’ve only known this person for two days, so why is he being so friendly?

Seo Eun-ha desperately wanted to push Bo-kyung away, but she couldn’t do it because she remembered how she had thrown herself at her own expense, even though they had only known each other for a few hours… .

– The tutorial will end in a moment.

Is it already time?

From noble mtl dot com

Like mountains around me… is the manager, and there were about five or six gladiator corpses rolling around.

I was a little surprised that this was the only thing that came after a guy shouted out loud on the second floor.

─ No, some crazy person started a fire right at the end!

No, there is nothing surprising.

When I saw the untimely fire that broke out outside, I burst into laughter even though it was not the right time to do so.

Perhaps because most of the buildings were wooden, the fires that started here and there spread quickly with the wind.

At the same time, a disaster occurred that caused a large number of people who were hiding in the corners of the house to run out like cockroaches, but it was none of my part-time business, and it would not be Seo Eun-ha’s business to know.

I quietly put the status-boosting pill I found on the corpse of a middle-aged man on the second floor into my pocket.

[Strength Increase Pill] × 6

[Agility Increase Pill] × 4

[Sense-boosting pill] × 3

[Stamina Increase Pill] × 4

[Magic Increase Pill] × 2

In addition to the 9 I originally had, the 2 I found in the slum on the first night, the 1 I ripped off from the bald man, and the 8 I found here today.

Excluding the magic pills I took beforehand, a total of 19 are in my pocket right now.

I decided to be moderately satisfied as I was very close to my original goal of 4 in every stat.

The high proportion of pills that are directly related to athletic ability, such as strength, agility, and stamina, seems to have been intentionally placed that way because those stats are efficient for immediate use in the tutorial.

As long as the total number is around 100, it is up to the agency mercenary group to decide what stats to put in.

When I was a guide, I think I roughly hit 20 at a time because it was annoying, but this guide seems to be more delicate in many ways.

– The tutorial ends.

– Slight motion sickness may occur when transferring into space.

With a message announcing the end of the tutorial, all gladiators stopped, and a distortion of space appeared in front of the survivors.

It was a shame that I didn’t get the survival bonus stats due to the early ending, but the agency mercenaries will come up with a compensation plan in some way.

If you don’t deal with this properly, there is a high possibility that you will be pushed down in priority the next time there is competition for authority.

I don’t think it was a simple mercenary group that came in looking for a quick hit, but one of the three major mercenary groups, so they’ll take care of themselves.

Hwaak-

Space transfer has begun.

*

“W-what is it?”

“No, why are you in the auditorium again…” .”

Interestingly, the transferred space was an auditorium with a similar scene to the first day.

Is he inconsiderate or has bad taste?

The only difference is the blindingly bright lighting.

No, this isn’t a light?

Romune-Acurus is a magic that summons a sphere of light, mainly used when exploring dark places.

It was the identity of the lights that illuminated the auditorium so brightly that there was no shadow.

Even though it’s basic magic, I don’t think they would have installed this amount of magic for no reason, and it seems to be one of the measures to prepare for an attack.

If your thoughts reach this point, the answer will come quickly.

Nightshade.

An advanced unit specializing in surprise attacks, assassinations, and rear infiltration.

You have decided, Decalun.

I don’t know how many troops were sent, but isn’t that too much to kill a young chick who is just going through a tutorial?

Knock knock.

As I was laughing out loud, someone touched my shoulder from behind.

When I turned around, Seo Eun-ha and Bo-kyung were standing there.

Perhaps because they were running around and turning the whole neighborhood into a sea of fire, both of their skins were slightly hot.

“hey. “You seem to be having a lot of fun?”

Instead of answering what I said, Seo Eun-ha stuck out her fist.

Thinking there must be some reason, I obediently opened my palm and a small pill fell onto it.

It was a status-increasing pill.

Where did he get this?

“I got it from the house next to the trash can.”

“uh… .”

I was at a loss for words for a moment because it was a situation I hadn’t even thought about.

She was looking around busily, as if she wasn’t interested in my reaction or not, as if she was hoping for something in particular.

… Should I praise him?

“Hello everyone. “This is Seongho Kim, who served as the guide for the tutorial.”

At that time, an usher suddenly appeared on the empty auditorium podium.

He wasn’t even wearing a mask; he was wearing the same fedora and tuxedo as on the first day.

Some people who saw it felt like they were suffering from PTSD and their legs became weak and they sat down in their seats.

Because the tutorial ended early, it seemed like a lot of people who would have been eliminated originally came in.

However, the guide seemed to have no time to pay attention to those people, and unlike the first day, he just said what he had to say with a stern expression without a single joke.

“I’m sorry, but the situation is urgent, so I’ll leave right away. We will give you a detailed explanation when we arrive, so please follow our control until you arrive at the vacant lot.”
