4.

I want to run away.

Kang Mi-young blocked Lee Seong-han’s way with her hand as if she didn’t know what he was thinking.

There are only three S-class hunters in South Korea.

‘Is it because of Kang Mi-young?’

Lee Seong-han glared at Kang Jin-young, the person who provided the root cause.

“Kang Jin-young.”

“Yeah, sis.”

“Did you do something harmful?”

“Harmful things?”

Kang Jin-young tilted his head, resting his chin on his hand.

“Actually, I touched it a little bit before coming. It’s cute how you’re shy.”

“How much?”

“Hmm. Other than threats of death, forced contract signing, and requests to extend service period, etc.?”

The color drained from Kang Mi-young’s face.

[Kang Mi-young activates ‘Skill: Insight’ on Kang Jin-young.]

– Her words are… …true!

“No matter how much I tried to persuade him, I thought he would refuse.”

That’s right.

If it had been a mission like this, I would have refused it even at the cost of my strength.

Kang Jin-young laid a bridge for words.

“And there weren’t many legitimate people. That guy is probably the only Awakened person who didn’t get a license. There’s no record of it.”

Kang Jin-young winked lightly after finishing speaking.

“I see.”

Kang Mi-young’s aura cooled down like a cat that had been splashed with cold water.

She sighs as if she has had this kind of experience quite often.

“I’m sorry, sir. That’s quite different from what I heard.”

As soon as Lee Seong-han finished speaking, he asked a question.

“Are you sure that the full-time job is guaranteed?”

“Discharged?”

“Yes, that’s right. I volunteered for this job because of my military service.”

Kang Mi-young nodded her head.

“Yes, I guarantee it. I want you to be discharged as healthy as possible. That’s what officers are for.”

“I will serve you until I die.”

Yeah, global. Just think about global!

Go home and get a job.

Let’s live a proper social life like everyone else!

This is not a life worse than that of a slave! They say that even if you go into a tiger’s den, if you keep your wits about you, you will survive.

[Enter the gray tower.]

* * *

Tsupat!

[1st floor]

“Whew, every time I come here, my stomach feels like it’s going to explode.”

As soon as Lee Seong-han opened his eyes, he felt uncomfortable.

A fruit fly touching your face.

Discomfort, such as a lump stuck in the roof of the mouth.

He was standing in the middle of the jungle.

“Sister. It would be bad if you forget this feeling. Ah, Seonghan, follow behind me. Don’t even think about deserting.”

Lee Seonghan secretly activated his skill.

[reconnaissance].

It was an ability that helped me understand my surroundings. When I opened my eyes, monsters were caught in red outlines.

Eyes were revealed from the trees and bushes, and there were quite a few of them. At least Class A.

At present, Lee Seong-han was a type of person that could not be dealt with.

A Class A can cause irreparable damage to provincial cities.

In that sense, each and every one of them was close to asymmetric power.

If they fought, they would be torn apart without a fight. Lee Seong-han’s mouth was dry. He didn’t want to die in such a remote place.

‘He’s not running.’

But he just stared at Lee Seong-han. As if it was okay as long as it wasn’t his territory.

Ss …

At that moment, a black wind blew everywhere.

The jungle was torn apart in an instant.

Not only the monsters there, but even the ground was flattened.

It was Kang Mi-young.

She waved her silver iron sword.

“These monsters are so noisy.”

“It’s quiet.”

Kang Jin-young answered with a deep frown on her face.

“You’re nagging too much.”

It’s not for nothing that I was given superhuman powers.

It is a tank that also acts as a dealer.

He was the guardian of the balance of power.

By that time, I had finally come to my senses. I had forgotten that I had come to the tower on a mission.

“So where are we going? Are there other people in the tower?”

Kang Jin-young shrugged his shoulders and responded.

“Ah, there’s a base camp nearby. All the personnel and supplies are stored there. Hehehe.”

We headed to the base camp on the first floor of the tower.

Kang Mi-young took the lead, Lee Seong-han took the second, and Kang Jin-young took the rear.

“Agent. By the way, the Major is really strong.”

Kang Jin-young made a slightly displeased expression.

“Well, I guess I have to admit it. Trinity is the best in Korea.”

“The S-class three of national training. Doesn’t the name Trinity suit them well?”

“But it doesn’t work for me─”

“Your Majesty. Focus on your main business.”

“I will correct it!”

“Kang Jin-young, you are included too.”

Kang Jin-young puffs out her cheeks like a puffer fish. Her beauty stands out.

“Huh, you too, Sister. If you bring someone here, you should think about taking good care of them! What is this?!”

“… … Rather, it was you who wanted to come. I already don’t like you. You’re noisy and talkative. You’re even picky. ”

Kang Jin-young sighed and rolled his eyes.

“That’s because my sister has never met a man. Everyone runs away after seeing only the appearance.”

“You’re saying you’re just going to run away after seeing the outside?”

“My sister is too violent. What should I say, she has the image of not caring about her family.”

“You’re cold-blooded, huh?”

Lee Seong-han scratched the back of his head. He didn’t understand.

Would you just dump a beauty like Kang Mi-young?

In my personal opinion, Kang Mi-young was the number one bride candidate.

Lee Seong-han, with his arms crossed, swept his chin with his skinny fingers.

“I like you, Major. Actually, I was a fan of you. It’s my first time seeing you up close.”

“Ah, it was you.”

When Kang Jin-young heard that, he clicked his tongue toward the distant mountains.

It was a face that said he couldn’t understand.

“Both be quiet.”

“… … .”

“Maintaining discipline.”

Kang Mi-young, who took the lead, stole the blood.

A monster just made a surprise attack and a light fight ensued.

‘I thought it was over already.’

The battle was over before Lee Seong-han could even step forward.

The result was, of course, crushing.

Blood was splattered everywhere, and I came up smelly. I wonder if this is what they mean by bloodshed.

Kang Mi-young came down from the mountain of corpses in the distance.

“… … Anyway, shall we get back to the main topic?”

The main point here was the contract made between Kang Jin-young and Lee Seong-han.

For a hunter, a contract is a trust.

‘I feel a chill down my spine.’

The lower your credit, the more thorny your social gaze becomes.

It was something that could not be reversed anyway.

Lee Seong-han reluctantly nodded his head.

“Let’s do that.”

“I’ll first announce the target of the hunt according to the contract. To get to the point, the target of the hunt is a hatchling. You know? A guy who is treated as a quasi-A grade. ”

Kang Jin-young pretended to flap his wings with his hands.

“Ah.”

A sigh came out naturally.

It wasn’t that it wasn’t dense.

Hatchlings usually appear in dense jungle areas, so it seemed likely that they would appear in a coniferous forest.

It’s not that I didn’t understand.

‘But can I handle it?’

I don’t know that.

It’s like a UFC fighter suddenly popping out while dealing with neighborhood bullies.

First of all, you can’t fight on equal footing or higher.

“Your Majesty. If you wish, I can change the mission for you.”

“We have our own circumstances, sis.”

The Kang sisters glared at each other.

“Don’t you know that soldier is currently under my command?”

“Huh, I’m the one who signed the contract?”

Kang Jin-young glanced at her older sister for a moment and then looked at Lee Seong-han.

Lee Seong-han looked down at the floor as if he was deeply contemplating.

“To be honest, you probably didn’t come, right?”

“Of course. You want me to catch a dragon? I’d rather put a lead bullet in my head.”

The sister looked dumbfounded at the direct expression.

“That’s a rough expression.”

“Isn’t that a monster? How often has a Chinese dragon come flying in and destroy a coastal city? Haa, if it’s a hatchling, it’s probably B-class? No, it’s probably higher than that.”

What is a hatchling?

It was a baby before it became a dragon.

A very fragile entity, but one that is protected by its own kind. To put it simply, it is a baby.

‘So, does that mean I have to tear the baby apart to kill it for my sake?’

My head already hurts.

Although I was fighting to eat and live, I was not at ease.

[New reconnaissance data obtained.]

Lee Seong-han pressed his forehead and checked the newly arrived data.

After a while, he frowned.

Because you could see that it was really made to fuck people.

‘If I don’t know, I’ll die in an instant, huh.’

Lee Seong-han was terrified.

Wasn’t this a place that the top managers created to screw people over? That’s how Kang Jin-young explained it.

They were the ones who terraformed the Earth and scattered monsters.

They set traps everywhere.

[Specifies the coordinates of the hatchling.]

“We need to get moving first. The sun is going to set. Don’t you think the monsters will be more violent at night?”

A blue arrow appears on the ground. Lee Seonghan knew its identity as soon as he saw it.

There was a hatchling at the end of that arrow.

I thought that both society and the military were equally full of hardships.

“That’s right. But you should also pay attention to your health. How is your body?”

Kang Mi-young asked quietly while packing her bags.

I feel like I need to move again after resting for so long.

“No problem. Except for a few blisters on my legs.”

“Trivial. Okay, I know the way. Follow me.”

“Okay.”

I started walking again.

The hatchling happened to be in the same direction as the base. Lee Seong-han walked and looked around.

‘This is the inside of a tower, that’s ridiculous.’

The leaf that makes people like ants.

Rainwater flowing along its outline.

Lee Seong-han adjusted the sight of the automatic rifle he was holding. He wondered what would happen.

At that moment, I felt a lightning bolt run down my waist.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Kang Mi-young, who had been moving ahead, suddenly stopped.

“Prepare for battle.”

It was a surprise attack.

Lee Seonghan’s body shook slightly.

[System access confirmed by ‘Unidentified Target’.]

[Deploying the ‘Mental Barrier’.]

Tsupabababat!

Sparks flew before his eyes. Lee Seonghan aimed at the forest to find the monster that had used its ability on him.

‘Oh, he ran away.’

Something pitch black was flying across the horizon.

The distance was too far to match.

“Be careful!”

Kang Jin-young, who was in the back row, shouted. Lee Seong-han hurriedly looked around.

It was already too late. The acidic sphere flying straight at me was about to hit my body.

Trying to activate the ability in a hurry.

It burst into thin air with a pop.

A black silhouette was blocking Lee Seong-han’s path.

“That was dangerous, sir. Isn’t that a man acting too excessively?”

Kang Mi-young blocked it with her bare body.

The green acid ran down the hem of the coat. The coat melted away with a terrible musty smell.

“Are you okay?”

“Major. The coat!”

“The coat is not important. Isn’t the safety of the soldiers the duty of an officer?”

“Am I the only one here who knows how to fight?!”

Kang Jin-young shouted at the two while casting magic into the forest.

Monsters were swarming from all directions.

If things continued this way, there was a possibility of being surrounded and destroyed. At the very least, we would lose our escape route.

Kang Mi-young pulled her sword out of its scabbard. Strangely, there was only a handle, and the blade she needed was not there.

“Auror Blade.”

A translucent light was cast over the pulled out handle.

Come on.

The ultimate technique that only those who have reached the top of the inspection can use.

That was the reason why Kang Mi-young was called invincible.
