by fnovelpiaIt didn’t take long for me to become friends with everyone on the team.
There were only a few team members to begin with, and the staff were all pushed out of their original departments, so it was easy to become friends thanks to a strange sense of kinship.
“Umm… .”
While we were gathering in our assigned office to work according to the training schedule that would start next week… .
“Producer.”
“Yes?”
Gyu-ri Han, who was filling out the team application form, suddenly asked a question.
“But haven’t we decided on a team name?”
“Team name?”
“Yes.”
To Gyu-ri Han’s question, which seemed obvious, I answered while glancing at Jun-hyung Kim, who was writing a report next to me.
“Our team name is set.”
“Really?”
Han Gyu-ri reacts as if she really doesn’t know.
‘… ‘You really didn’t know?’
I was puzzled by her reaction and told her the official team name.
“Team Seoul City Hall.”
OK.
“… Yes?”
I don’t know what’s going on, but Han Gyu-ri’s expression is wrinkled and she looks disapproving.
“… Is it not that good?”
“It’s not that great. No, how can the team name be Seoul City Hall… !”
“You didn’t know that until now?”
Gyu-ri Han glanced at Jun-hyung Kim, who had quietly intervened.
“Of course I thought it was temporary!”
“How do you do that temporarily…? .”
“I don’t even want a cool name like Queens or Black Rose! If it’s as clean and pretty as Gyeongseong or Hanyang, why Seoul City Hall?”
She insisted that we come up with a new name right away, saying it would definitely make us look down on her, so we stopped work for a moment and put our heads together to think of a new name.
“How about the Seoul Eagles?”
Kim Junhyung was the first to express his opinion.
“The team is ranked 45th. Overlapping is not allowed.”
“… Really?”
However, they were all rejected by Han Gyu-ri, who expressed her opinion… .
“Hmm… . Then Seoul Hawks!”
“There is a team in Japan called the Hawks.”
“No, why are you even picking on Japan?”
“You may have the image of imitating someone. It may be okay if it is an amateur team that is not completely famous, but you should avoid professional teams as much as possible.”
“Umm… .”
I was able to see an unexpected side of Han Gyu-ri.
‘… ‘I know better than I think, right?’
I didn’t think she would have any interest in sports like Hunter Team, but she seemed to have quite a bit of knowledge.
“What do you think, producer?”
“Well… .”
Actually, the team name is a good one.
The most important thing is the performance of the team.
No matter what the name is, as long as you get good grades, anything is seen as a cool name.
“I think Seoul City Hall is also good.”
“… Yes?”
“It’s unique. First of all, it is true that it belongs to Seoul City Hall. I think it would be more appealing to just call it ‘Seoul City Hall’ rather than giving it a different name.”
“Well, but… .”
Just as Gyu-ri Han cautiously opened her mouth to refute my opinion.
“Look. They say you don’t have to give me a name for no reason?”
Kim Jun-hyung started laughing at Han Gyu-ri and making sarcastic remarks.
“What?”
“Honestly, the team name is random… .”
“Again, the team name is symbolic… !”
So I quietly watched the two people bickering,
After a long discussion, the team name was decided on the existing ‘Seoul City Hall’.
*
After some time.
I woke up early in the morning, finished all the preparations, and looked at the calendar on the corner of the desk.
April 4th.
It’s an ordinary weekend ahead of Team Seoul City Hall’s first training… .
It is the day when the first incident of the original novel ‘The Strongest Master’ begins.
“… … .”
In the first case, a gate suddenly occurs and the city falls into chaos, and Seol Joo-hee, who accidentally got caught up in a runaway, deals with the cause and solves the problem.
If my prediction is not wrong, there is a high possibility that the incident itself will follow the same trend this time.
‘I guess I’ll have to do that this time too… .’
After leaving home so thoroughly prepared, I headed to the place where the incident would occur, using public transportation instead of car.
[11:14 AM]
‘you’re close.’
Approximately 3 hours until the incident occurs.
As I stood where the gate opened, I looked around, recalling the description in the novel.
“… … .”
The stage of this incident was Central Square located in the center of Seoul.
This place, which has a large fountain with a sophisticated design, has a large shopping mall, a terminal, and a subway transfer station in the front and back, making it a place with a very large floating population.
In the original novel, it was only described as an incident that resulted in many victims, and even from the main character’s point of view, the cruel scenes were not depicted that much… .
As long as this is another reality, a catastrophe will not be avoided.
‘We must stop it at all costs.’
You have to sew the first button well so that the rest of the buttons can be sewn beautifully as well.
After making up my mind once again, I walked as I had planned and approached the horsepower meter installed next to the bench in the corner of the square.
The measuring instrument, which looked like an ordinary decoration at first glance, was mixed in with other decorations, but it is said that it was decorated like an ordinary decoration because it spoiled the aesthetics of the city.
“… … .”
I took a seat on a bench that was empty at the time, pretended to be using my phone, looked around slowly, and then put down the duffel bag I had brought with me and opened the zipper.
It was to cause an abnormality in the horsepower measuring instrument.
‘How long will it take… .’
A duffel bag treated with magic blocking material on the inside contains attachments picked up from an S-class gate.
One day, Seol Joo-hee brought it as a commemorative gift.
‘I didn’t know you could use it like this.’
Normally, when a gate opens, an enormous amount of magical energy flows out explosively.
So, there are countless horsepower measuring devices like this installed all over the city, and the government has set up a special agency to monitor them 24 hours a day.
I was planning to take advantage of that and cause trouble in the measuring instrument in advance with the magic stone.
“… … .”
How long has it been since I was sitting like that, pretending to use my phone and being wary of my surroundings?
Someone started approaching me.
“Excuse me.”
When I glanced up, I saw two security guards wearing black body armor standing there.
“What’s going on?”
“There was a problem at the plaza, so we will be checking for a while. I’m sorry, but could you please change your seat?”
It appears that the measuring instrument has successfully failed.
“Ah, yes.”
I acted calmly and immediately grabbed my duffel bag and stood up.
“Thank you for your cooperation.”
“Yes, good work.”
And then I naturally tried to leave the square… .
“Wait a minute!”
A security guard came running and caught me right away.
‘… ‘Did you get caught?’
I wasn’t confident in my acting, so I tried to control my expression and looked back.
The security guard pointed to my duffel bag and made a hint.
“The bag was opened.”
“Ah.”
I quickly zipped up my duffel bag and bowed to the security guard.
Then the security guard let me go without any suspicion, telling me to be careful.
“Whew… .”
After safely leaving the square, I moved to a nearby franchise cafe.
Then, I sat by the window with a view of the square, kept checking the time, and moistened my dry mouth… .
‘It’s time to explode… .’
Right then.
Kugu Palace────
A sound like something breaking apart began to echo outside the window.
“!”
It has really begun.
Roaring Roaring──
“Didn’t you hear something?”
“Is it thunder?”
“It’s a little different?”
“What is it?”
People inside the cafe begin to murmur at the unidentifiable loud noise.
Kugugugugung───
When I heard another roar, I reflexively stood up and shouted, pointing to the sky above the square.
“It’s the gate!!!!”
Then all eyes inside the cafe turned to me,
I shouted urgently as I packed my duffel bag.
“Everyone run away!!!!!!!”
OK.
Kugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugu’!!!!
As if a pulse was beating, the roar got louder and louder, and people who were sitting in a daze began to scream and run away.
◦ percent
“G, it’s a real gate!!!”
“ too, run away!!”
The interior of the cafe quickly became a mess.
As I was following them, I slowly turned my head and looked out the window.
The sky was darkening rapidly, as if the gate was about to open.
“… … !”
The sound of my heart is pounding in my ears.
I thought I would definitely be mentally prepared, but as I faced the gate, I was filled with fear as I realized that a future without dreams or hope was approaching.
but… .
I can’t just sit back and watch like this.
It’s not like I can act as great as a real protagonist, but
Because I have no intention of remaining an ordinary extra who can’t do anything.
I forced my feet away, took advantage of the confusion, threw the duffel bag in a place I had already seen, and then quickly ran to the square where the gate was starting to open.
Blink──! Blah blah blah!
The gate that had begun to open in the sky of the square had already begun to grow in size by encroaching on the surrounding buildings, and small goblins were pouring out of it and running through the citizens.
Kieee would
Kieeek──!
“Me, me, take me too!!! Ahhh!!!”
“Pa, run quickly!!!”
“Aaaaa!!”
It’s literally a father figure.
“Fight back!!!”
“Haaa!!”
The brave hunters near the square willingly stepped forward to deal with the goblins… .
Because the number of goblins was too large, they were not easily defeated.
“Kwaaagh—!”
“These bastards have too many heads!!”
Since the surveillance team noticed the abnormality a few hours ago, they must have immediately placed the advanced hunters on standby.
Assuming that it takes at most 10 minutes for advanced hunters to reach the scene, all they have to do is hold on until then to reduce damage.
“… Phew… , … can do… .”
I took a deep breath, gathered myself, and took out the anesthetic incense I had prepared in advance.
He threw it with all his might at the goblins surrounding the hunters.
Bang!
Gurgling… Kuruk…
A group of goblins began to laugh after smelling the anesthetic scent in the air.
I shouted to the confused hunters.
“Now! Sweep it away quickly!”
“Gi, it’s an opportunity… ! Let’s go!!”
The hunters took advantage of the opportunity and rushed in,
Kieeek──!
Kieee will help
I quickly headed toward the gate, leaving behind the screams of the goblins.
‘There are still people inside… !’
But then.
“Uh, mom… !!!”
Beyond the remains of the collapsed building, a girl’s voice was heard.
“!”
I quickly stopped and quickly climbed up the wreckage to check the scene to save the child.
and… .
Keeeow
Kee Ee -e -e ──── !!!
I was startled when I found a woman facing off against numerous goblins alone, with her child on her back.
“… !”
It was Bang Hanna.
