“joined. Please do the rest.”

Ahn Woo-jin walked towards Lee Ji-su and Jang Ha-moon and spoke in a low voice.

This was an instruction given through wireless earphones.

“Ha.”

Jisu Lee sighed and stood up.

She looked at Ahn Woo-jin with both hands in her pockets.

“I heard that it is strong for a 4th rank, but… , in the end, it will inevitably be highly dependent on the 4th rank. elemental magic.”

Jisoo said.

“Unfortunately, you are not a good match for us. Lightning magic is meaningless in front of us.”

“Hehehe!”

Jang Ha-moon, a large man, pulled out a bunch of his hair and put it in his mouth, making a slurping sound like he was eating noodles.

Xiamen swallowing hair.

That moment.

Tsuzzzz!

A translucent magnetic field made of magical energy developed rapidly starting from Xiamen.

Unique ability ‘Magnetokinesis’.

Magic formula type 1, ‘magnetic field development’.

Chijit… . The bluish-green electric current flowing through the black triple pole was instantly dissipated.

Even the wireless earphone plugged into Woojin’s right ear stopped working.

One after another, the three-stage peak and the byeokchukbong were shaking and trying to be dragged towards Xiamen. It was because of magnetism.

It was a situation that Woojin had already expected.

Woojin naturally fastened the two weapons to the belt.

I just intentionally channeled lightning magic into the black triple rod to induce a magnetic field.

The power of the magnetic force generated by Xiamen varies greatly depending on the distance between itself and the metal material.

As it happens, Woojin is quite far away from Xiamen.

There was no fear of losing the two weapons fixed to the belt.

“It is the ability to turn hair into a magnetic field… ! In front of me, lightning magic is of no use… !”

Xiamen laughed in a slurred voice.

Eating hair is a condition for activating the unique ability Magnetokinesis.

It won’t last long.

It takes a lot of magical power to develop a magnetic field like this.

This was a fact that could be fully understood even without any knowledge of the game.

“Don’t touch this function, just float it in the air.”

Jisoo took out her smartphone and put it away.

The smartphone floated gently in the air, and Jisoo showed her face to the phone camera.

Can you see “? done. This is Anomia’s special broadcast~.”

Jisoo suddenly waves and greets the smartphone camera.

A fake smile spread across her face.

“?”

What is the situation?

Woojin looked at Jisoo with doubt.

Because it was a sight I had never seen before in a game.

Jisoo pointed at Woojin with her thumb.

“The leader of Aseong High School is in front of us now. From now on, I plan to beat that guy mercilessly. huh? Hey, you mean manipulation!? Do you think this is manipulation, idiot? Open your eyes straight and watch. Because now the fight will begin.”

“What are you doing?”

“You won’t know it if you look at it, right? It’s a broadcast.”

Jisoo answered bluntly and grinned.

“G-Tube live broadcast. This broadcast will be proof that we defeated you. Then won’t our notoriety increase? Right?”

Notoriety has the power to attract people.

Anomia is a group of villains who reject pretense and pretense.

The purpose of their activities is to gain notoriety in order to achieve their ideology.

The more notoriety you gain, the more potential villains you can attract, and the number of business partners and sponsors who will provide you with funds increases.

In other words, the event to defeat ‘Aseong High School Leader Ahn Woo-jin’ would provide high-quality nutrients that would help Anomia grow rapidly.

In advance, the captain of Anomia also agreed with the idea.

“Why are there so many bastards? .”

Woojin thought of the Shindorim Sword Master and snorted slightly.

“Director Seondo, let’s die honorably for us?”

Jisoo smiled broadly and raised her right arm.

Jiing. The drones targeting Woojin made mechanical sounds.

The air sinks heavily.

“… Shoot.”

Jisoo lowers his arms and gives a command.

soon.

Ta-da-da-da-da!!

The drone troops fired magical bullets at Ujin at once.

It was the beginning of the battle.

Faaah! Woojin immediately kicked off the ground, carried Minhyuk Park around, and hid behind the pillar right next to him.

A volley of drone fire continued toward the pillar.

Several drones that came close were pierced by the dagger thrown by Woojin and turned into helpless pieces of scrap metal.

Anomia special dagger.

These were all weapons collected from enemies that had been knocked out on the way up.

‘The accuracy is amazing.’

In Jisoo’s opinion, Woojin showed surprising skill.

That was not a technique that could be easily performed even if the body was strengthened with magical power.

It required a lot of practice.

What on earth is that leading manager? , Jisoo was just wondering.

“Ugh, ah… .”

Meanwhile, behind the pillar.

Secretary Park Min-hyuk was frightened and trembled.

He was bad at fighting.

“Can you move?”

“Yes? Yeah… ! While those guys were off guard, they secretly restored my leg… !”

However, there were areas where Minhyuk was gifted.

He was a healing magician who was born with healing magic.

So, I was able to cast healing magic on myself or others.

“Then that’s it.”

Woojin nodded.

Minhyuk asked while magic bullets were still raining down wildly.

“But manager, what should we do now!? Neutralizing lightning magic, the compatibility is too unfavorable… !”

“We win anyway.”

Woojin declared.

“Yes? how… ?”

Minhyuk knew very well that Woojin was strong.

However, it was difficult to understand the attitude of being sure of victory as if it were too natural, against two 5th-ranked people with unfavorable compatibility.

Crash.

It was the time when the drone troops were reloading their magic bullets.

“Jump.”

Woojin’s instructions.

Woojin and Minhyuk got away from the pillar and started running toward the emergency stairs.

“Trying to escape the magnetic field?”

Jisoo chuckled.

Xiamen’s magnetic field has been fixed in location and range since it first developed. It was easy information to grasp if you had a sharp eye.

Seeing that he was taking risks and widening the distance, he seemed to have realized the limits of that magnetic field.

There was nothing to call a ‘limit’.

After Xiamen closes the distance between them, he can deploy the magnetic field again.

The problem is that it takes a lot of horsepower to develop a magnetic field.

I couldn’t overdo it too hastily.

“Let’s stop shooting drones.”

Jisoo tapped Hamun on the arm and said.

If drone shooting continues, Xiamen will not be able to approach the enemies.

So Jisoo decided to take a different approach.

“Try to float these pieces of scrap metal.”

Jisoo gestured with his chin and gave instructions.

“Okay… !”

Four drones, damaged by the dagger thrown by Woojin, rose in the air following Xiamen’s gesture.

This was because the powerful magnetic field was controlled according to his will.

“Hyaaa.”

Naelum.

Jisoo licked the drones floating in the air with her tongue.

Then, the saliva on the drone turned black and spread rapidly like a virus, flowing into the machine.

Jisoo used her finger to pour flame magic onto the saliva-covered area. Then, a fire broke out.

“Throw.”

“Whoop!”

Hamun swung his arm and sent away four drones covered in Jisoo’s saliva. It was the power of the magnetic field.

Whing!

Four drones flew through the air towards Woojin and Minhyuk at incredible speeds. Accuracy was low, but the index was not significantly correlated.

Whick! Woojin nimbly flew his body, wrapped around Minhyuk, and hid himself in the structure. At that moment, the four drones that flew in exploded all at once.

Kwaaaa!!

A powerful fire containing shock waves spread out with no place to avoid.

Its power is at a level that cannot be compared to something like a magic grenade. If it had been hit squarely, Woojin, who had strengthened his body to its maximum level with magical power, would have suffered serious burns.

The ability to turn spit into gunpowder.

Unique ability ‘fire gun’.

Magic formula type 1, ‘炸彈液’.

The power of the explosion is determined by the amount of magic power concentrated in Jisoo’s saliva and the explosive materials.

Normally, saliva cannot contain magic power, but Jisoo was able to do so thanks to her unique ability.

Jisoo’s ability was still limited to the size of a drone, which could be used as an explosive material.

The flaw in the ability was that it was not possible to create and store explosives separately. This was because the magic power contained in saliva dissipated after one minute. Therefore, there was no choice but to make explosives on the spot.

Grumble!

Ride!

Fire covered the entire area, and metal fragments from the drone flew out at bullet-like speed, hitting the structure violently.

Woojin and Minhyuk were able to escape the explosion thanks to hiding behind the structure.

“Chit.”

Jisoo clicks her tongue.

For some reason, I felt a sense of discomfort.

‘Do you have good reflexes? No, rather than that… It feels like we know what we’re capable of.’

Even though it was clearly his first fight, Woojin was handling it skillfully.

As if he had fought against Ji Soo and Xia Moon several times here.

‘Did our information get leaked?’

That was highly likely.

Because Woojin already has a track record of identifying and stopping Anomia’s plans.

It didn’t really matter.

Jisoo decided to provoke.

“Hey, if the leader of the leader runs away like a coward, isn’t it shameful? You have to fight back, you idiot! Won’t we have some fun that way!?”

Jisoo let out a laugh and repeated the process from a moment ago.

Quaaaang!

Two new drones flew over and caused a strong explosion where Woojin and Minhyuk were.

Before that, they hid in another structure to avoid the impact of the explosion.

Tsuzzzz… . Soon, the magnetic field slowly flickered.

It was a phenomenon that appeared before it disappeared.

“Hehehe, hehe… !”

Hamun, a large man, rushed towards Woojin and Minhyuk who were hiding behind the structure. He pulled out a clump of hair again and slurped it down like a noodle.

Tsuzzzz! A new magnetic field that develops again as the old one fades away.

No matter how much Woojin and Minhyuk ran away, it was impossible for them to avoid the magnetic field if Ha-moon approached them and just ate their hair.

“I just need to take away your weapon… !”

Xia Moon’s purpose was to close the distance between him and Woo Jin and then pull his weapon back with strong magnetic force.

No matter how hard Woojin tried not to have his equipment taken away, if the weapon was pulled by strong magnetism, he would be taken along with it.

After that, it will be a matter of seeing the outcome in close combat.

at that time.

Shoot!!

Because the series of explosions caused a fire, the sprinklers eventually activated and began spraying water violently.

It was where Woojin and Minhyuk were. They became like wet mice.

The water did not reach where Jisoo was.

“… … .”

Water was gradually accumulating on the floor.

It would have been dangerous if the magical power of lightning had risen like that, but since Xiamen’s magnetic field was spread everywhere, there was no need to worry about that. Unless he is careless and disturbs the magnetic field.

“Hmm?”

Xiamen was surprised.

In the end, the water-soaked Woojin jumped out of the structure, holding the black triple pole and Byeokchuk pole.

He faced Xiamen running towards him.

“Hehe!”

A smile spread across Xiamen’s lips.

Did they finally choose all-out war?

It was natural.

There is no other way than that.

Behind Woojin, clerk Park Minhyuk was running away.

The clerk fulfilled his role as an inducement. I guess he didn’t matter anymore. While the clerk headed toward the emergency stairs, Xiamen paid attention to him.

Only Ahn Woo-jin.

Only the thought of being able to fight with Asong High School’s leader ignited Xia Mun’s enthusiasm.

“Huh?”

Suddenly Jisoo felt a sense of discomfort.

It felt like I sensed a very faint, unnatural sound coming from behind, like an auditory hallucination.

She looked back. But all I could see was a solid wall. Is it because of my mood?

“!?”

Suddenly, Xiamen opened her eyes.

“This sound… !?”

Ha-moon quickly stopped on the floor where the sprinkler had sprayed water.

There was a sound coming from beyond the wall.

Hamun, whose physical senses were more sensitive than Jisoo’s, immediately recognized the identity of the sound.

The sound gradually becomes clearer.

It was sharp and porous.

“Index!!”

“Huh?”

Ha-moon quickly turned around and ran towards Ji-soo at full speed.

The moment he turned his back on Jisoo, who was immersed in doubt.

Kwaaaa!!

A large arrow wrapped in wind magic shattered the wall of the Gray Star and penetrated its interior.

Immediately afterwards, the arrow exploded.

A few minutes ago.

The accounting and guidance department of Aseong High School decided to follow the instructions of the manager.

Her mission is support fire.

In advance, Woojin informed us exactly where to attack based on his knowledge of the game.

“As instructed.”

On the hill.

Doha stuck the end of the great bow into the ground and fixed it firmly.

An arrow larger than a normal arrow was fixed to the string. It boasted a length close to the height of Doha.

After that, he stepped on the footrest in the middle of the bow, stretched out his legs, and pulled the string all the way with both hands.

Doha’s body stretched out flexibly like a cat.

Since the body had been strengthened with magical power, there was no significant strain on the tension.

When Doha activated her unique ability, a strange pattern was engraved on her eyes.

Unique ability ‘Laplace’s Demon’.

Magic equation type 1, ‘exact equation’.

The effect was to automatically identify and calculate the position and momentum of everything in sight, like a computer.

Although it was difficult to recognize even the smallest details, the conditions for successful support fire were sufficient.

Thanks to the unique ability’s passive effect, ‘Enhanced Eyesight’, all scenery in the field of vision has become clearer.

Even buildings in the distance were clearly visible.

As a reaction to using my unique ability, I would suffer from extreme dry eyes for a day and my brain would become stupid, but right now, helping the manager was the most urgent priority.

Whiuuung!

The arrow was imbued with the magic of Doha’s wind, and its color became brighter.

The arrow was a type of explosive similar to a magic grenade and was an asset of the leadership.

Doha glared at the high-rise buildings on the outskirts of Academy City.

After breathing calmly, hold your breath and control your body movements as much as possible.

Doha read the countless raindrops falling, the movement of dark clouds, the wind direction and speed, and even the violent dance of the surrounding leaves.

“… … .”

···The perfect moment has arrived.

Doha held protests.

Piuung!!!

Wind magic spreads like a strong wind.

The arrow Doha shot cut through the night rain and crossed the sky in a straight line, drawing the parabola she wanted.

The wind magic wrapped around the arrow drove away the rainwater and added momentum.

The silvery glowing appearance was similar to a shooting star.

The arrow spread out waves and reached the upper floors of the Gray Star building.

Kwaaaang!!

It destroyed the wall, reached Jisoo and Xiamen, and finally exploded.

“Ugh!”

An unexpected explosion sent Jisoo and Ha-moon’s bodies flying toward Woojin.

Tsuzzzz… ! Xiamen’s magic control was disturbed and the magnetic field disappeared. The drones caught in the explosion broke down and all crashed.

Jisoo and Hamun rolled around on the floor and adjusted their posture. The power, which was only at the level of a magic grenade, did not cause much damage to those of the 5th rank.

One, that was enough.

“!”

Snap.

The moment Jisoo hit the floor, she trembled.

The section where the body flies and lands.

Sprinklers were still spraying water violently overhead, and water was pooling on the floor.

Jisoo shouted.

“Hey! Quick ability… !”

late.

Puzzle!!

“Kwaaaa!!”

“Ugh!!”

A wave of blue-green electricity spread violently through the impure water and hit Jisoo and Xiamen.

It was a lightning bolt that Woojin placed on the floor and poured out his magic power.

Jisoo and Hamun trembled and let out hot steam.

Wait, I almost lost my mind.

My brain felt like it was on fire, and my ears rang with tinnitus, but I held on anyway.

There was still a chance to counterattack.

If the magnetic field were deployed even now, it would have been possible to corner Woojin.

But there was no way Woojin would miss the opportunity given.

Faaah!

Woojin poured his magic power into his legs and kicked the floor.

His movements accelerated momentarily.

Jisoo glared at Woojin, who was running towards her, with red bloodshot eyes.

I should avoid it.

My body didn’t listen.

At that speed, there was no longer any way to avoid it.

Wow!

The black triple pole was inserted into Xiamen’s mouth, and the byeokchukbong pushed Jisu’s neck.

“Ughup… !”

“… !”

Coo!

Just like that, Woojin knocked the two people down and looked down at them.

The two eyes were as cold as frost and had a turquoise glow.

While her airway was being crushed and she was suffocating, Jisoo felt a strong sense of fear.

Woojin’s solemn face did not show a single trace of mercy.

Still, Jisoo pleaded.

“Save me… .”

It’s so scary!!!

“Aaaahaaahhh!!!”

“Uuuup!!!”

Lightning magic spread fiercely from the two poles, rubbing against the two people’s entire bodies without mercy. It was a merciless blitz.

An ear-piercing scream rent the air.

Eventually, Woojin stopped spreading his magic.

“… … .”

Jisoo and Ha-moon lost their minds.

They were steaming with hideously distorted faces, dripping with tears, snot, and saliva.

“Pathetic guys.”

Woojin stood up with two batons and picked up the smartphone that had fallen on the floor.

It was Jisoo’s smartphone.

The broadcast was still in progress.

Woojin’s wet face was shown in real time in the video on the smartphone screen. As the rumor spread on the Internet, the number of viewers had already reached about 40,000.

Viewers were all surprised when Woojin appeared.

Real-time chat was in chaos.

[ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ]

[Is this real?]

[Boss???]

[Wow, it was real]

[Ah, Anomia was ruined, right? Are you annoyed?]

[Are you okay??]

[What happened?]

[Is this real? What’s going on?]

[ㅁㅊ The 4th tier robbed two 5th tier ones??]

[and….]

Many chats came up quickly.

It was difficult to read each one.

but.

I could tell that half of the people took the situation seriously and half of the people did not.

‘It’s a mess… .’

Woojin ended the broadcast without saying a word.

Rather than talking about whatever comes to mind here, it would be much more reasonable to hold a meeting with Oh Baek-seo and make an announcement later.

─ Manager!?

Suddenly, Ha Yesong’s lively voice rang from Woojin’s earphones.

This was because the earphones started working normally again.

─ Wow, it’s connected now! Manager, are you alive? If you’re dead, please answer!

“Situation is over.”

─ Fortunately, you are alive and well! lol. Actually, I just saw the broadcast and checked it… ! Glad you’re alive! I was a little worried.

“Are you coming?”

─ Yep, I’m gathering the leaders and heading that way! Please wait a minute! Loyalty!

Ha Yesong’s mission was to gather the leaders and go out immediately after Woojin joined Secretary Park Minhyuk.

Woojin approached the collapsed outer wall and looked down at the outside, feeling the wind and rain.

Four multi-purpose transport vehicles from the leadership team were rushing towards Gray Star.

─ This situation is also over.

One after another, noble voices were heard.

It was the voice of Deputy Chief Oh Baek-seo.

Her mission was to suppress AQ, Anomia’s strongest force, and the leader of the organization.

If even that had been completed, Anomia would have been practically destroyed.

─ Manager.

“uh.”

─ … I’ll go see it quickly.

It was a meaningful word that lingered under my breath.

“?”

what.

It’s not ‘I’ll join you’, it’s ‘I’ll go see you soon’.

Although they clearly meant the same thing, that single word in the white paper seemed to contain a lot of emotion.

It’s like worry, relief, and affection… .

No, it would be an expanded interpretation to even include affection.

Woojin stopped thinking.

“… … .”

I took a deep breath.

It seemed like I would have to stay up all night just to clean up the scene.
