The quest has begun.

The area around Gwanghwamun Square became noisy.

“What’s going on?”

“Terrorism! It’s a villain’s terror!”

Immediately, the association’s alarm was sounded using a loudspeaker spell.

[There is a temporary disturbance. Everyone, please do not leave the area and follow the instructions of security guards located nearby!]

To the extent that even underworld organizations are deployed as security agents.

Seoul City and the Hunter Association have also completed preparations.

Still, in the end, terrorism began.

Not only citizens but also nearby security guards appeared to be embarrassed.

‘It’ll be even worse with the rain falling.’

Choi Hana also looked around with nervous eyes.

But I spoke calmly.

“You must remain calm. Because it doesn’t seem like the villain has appeared yet.”

“Yes. Okay!”

There may also be an effect of high mental power.

I know all the trends of what will happen today.

And how should I move so that I can reap the greatest benefit.

‘It’s the first quest anyway, so there won’t be too much damage.’

Even though the organization called Crimson Teeth is a collection of crazy villains.

It was impossible for them to openly assassinate a saint.

Their goal is to cause large-scale chaos at today’s event.

The current explosion sound was the beginning of the first phase.

[Security agents, please dispose of explosives planted nearby!]

Like that announcement.

First of all, it is a bombing.

‘Well, I guess there isn’t much damage at this level.’

Of course, the venue was prepared in advance.

There didn’t seem to be any major casualties.

However, the tricky thing about this quest is that it is a quest that requires protecting citizens.

‘So we need to minimize damage to the assigned area.’

Blood Jaguar’s people moved quickly.

“Citizens should not be allowed to approach objects or places that look suspicious!”

Hearing Choi Hana’s words, Hwang Yong-gyun also hurriedly gave instructions.

“Everyone can defuse a bomb, right? Hurry up before bigger chaos comes!”

Jeong No-eul answered immediately.

“Yes! Deputy boss. Oh, Junwoo, be careful too! If you think it’s a bomb, tell me!”

The blood jaguar was small, though.

Still, it was like an underworld organization.

‘It seems like everyone knows about camouflage bombs.’

In the underworld, terrorist attacks against rival organizations occur frequently.

Especially lower level organizations like Blood Jaguar.

According to instructions from the upper organization, I have to go on patrol near the headquarters building.

Basically, I knew the best places to plant bombs.

‘If you leave a useless bomb, it will cause trouble later.’

There were many decorative items placed nearby for the event.

This means that it is good to hide a bomb.

Of course, I remembered where the villains had hidden the bomb.

Well, I woke up so tired of it. It’s not difficult.

I looked around carefully.

A statue of a baby angel erected nearby.

The shape was familiar.

As expected, there was gum stuck to the bottom.

“Be careful! That might be a bomb!”

At that time, Jeong No-eul, who was near me, shouted.

‘I know very well.’

I removed the gum with the tip of the paladin sword.

“It’s dangerous!!”

***

Jeong No-eul spoke urgently.

“No matter how much a time bomb you try to remove by force, it may explode!! Huh…?”

But nothing happened.

Pow-

There was an explosion sound.

The sound was quieter than that of exploding play fireworks.

Phage support-

[The active skill “Barrier Creation (lv.1)” has been activated.]

[Passive skill “Humidity Improvement (lv.1)” has been activated.]

A new power created with the barrier pendant, ‘Quietly shaking wall of water.’

The skills of that power completely nullified the explosion of the fire attribute.

Additionally, the passive skill of improving humidity had another effect.

[It is raining.]

[The level of the passive skill “Improved Humidity” is temporarily increased by one level.]

Now that it’s raining, I’m actually getting a buff.

I said while looking at Jeong No-eul.

“There’s no problem if you do this, right?”

“It’s true. It’s dangerous if it’s a bomb containing fire magic stone powder… But did I overdo it for no reason? Hi.”

Jeong No-eul pounded her head with her fist and made a cute expression.

‘What is the reaction?’

If I didn’t know what it was, I would have been a little cringe.

I understood it because I thought it was a vertuber’s reaction.

“As expected, Theia’s cadets are different. No, you must be great, right? Even though it’s a bomb, he uses his powers very calmly. Anyway, I didn’t ignore you, so don’t feel too bad~!”

Jeong No-eul was wearing a thin raincoat because of the rain.

But the raincoat was tight to the body.

The body in tight leggings was further emphasized.

A bit, or to be honest, a sexy body.

However, since his voice was really cute, I felt a bit of a gap.

Because of that voice, you can immediately identify which member of Underdolls he is.

‘I didn’t know that Jeong No-eul was Yunori.’

My image in reality and my image as a virtuber were very different.

When I turned on the broadcast as a vertuber with the nickname Yunori.

Because Noeul Jeong was an otaku beyond imagination.

‘The concept is also a magical girl.’

And when I was on the air, I felt timid instead of feeling popular like I do now.

Perhaps the nature of extraluminal oil.

It felt strange to me.

Because of her nerd and timid nature, the member who gets teased the most by Naharin is Yunori.

However, in reality, Jeong No-eul was Choi Hana’s older sister.

‘I said I was 23.’

Even the hair color is blonde, which is different from the character.

In many ways, this means that his current life and his image as a virtuber do not match at all.

Still, now was the time to focus on the quest.

“Let’s move. There might be more bombs.”

I continued to help the gang members defuse bombs.

Choi Hana, who had already returned to my side, said.

“Phew. Thank you for your hard work. Lee Jun-woo!”

As he said, the chaos around the square has calmed down a bit.

‘Phase 2 will begin soon.’

The commotion had just begun.

Phase 2.

When the gate opens, a large number of monsters and villains appear at the same time.

Although it is the villains’ goal to cause large-scale chaos through such terrorism.

Their true purpose was different.

‘The goal is to rob the relics rather than terrorize or kill the saint.’

As it is a religious event called Baekjeol.

Several holy relics kept at the Vatican of the Goddess Church are also placed at the current event venue.

‘The same goes for Mad Knife’s area.’

Mad Knife is the parent organization of Blood Jaguar.

Of course, there are holy relics in their area.

And those relics are important.

If you’re simply taking on the role of security guard for an event.

There is no reason for it to be content from the underworld side.

The core of this quest is to establish a reputation as an underworld organization.

In the original, Mad Knife loses his district’s relics to the villain.

And once the Blood Jaguars recapture the relic.

It is a definite achievement.

‘That achievement serves as justification.’

That’s right, a reason to swallow that mad knife upside down.

After a while.

What happened as expected happened.

I don’t know what to do –

Above the empty sky where it rains.

The place was distorted and the sound of the air being torn apart was heard.

The gate opened at Gwanghwamun.

“It’s the gate! The gate is open!”

“Goddess… Saint!!”

I held the paladin sword tightly.

‘In the territory of the Blood Jaguar. There shouldn’t be any harm whatsoever.’

It was different from the previous Hell Week.

For a cause.

Damage to citizens had to be reduced to a minimum.

‘I also have to run around a lot.’

However, unlike other stats that have grown so far.

My speed stat is 10.

Today’s quest was too much for an ordinary person’s speed and reaction.

Of course, if it was the same as before.

[Speed stat has increased with status points.]

The SP I have collected so far is a whopping 13.

For Phase 2, I invested the bonus points generously in the speed stat.

The movements of the body are different from before.

“Everyone, stay alert! A monster has appeared!”

Hwang Yong-gyun shouted.

No, before I said that, my body was already reacting to the monster.

***

Crimson Teeth committed terrorism.

Citizens gathered for the Independence Day event.

Naturally, great confusion arose between them.

Still, considering that hundreds of thousands of people gathered.

The security staff at the event were responding well.

‘There will be no danger for the saint.’

Hwang Yong-gyun is the center of the event venue.

I looked near the stage where the saint was located.

Wooow-

Light green divine power was constantly emanating from that place.

‘With this level of divine power, there will be no need for additional gates to open.’

Considering the size of the gate, it seems like quite a few high-level monsters poured out.

Elites from a major hunter guild were stationed near the saint.

The problem is not the central area of the venue, but the outskirts.

Naturally, it was an area where underworld organizations were deployed.

‘First of all, the area assigned to our organization…is this in good condition?’

It wasn’t the center though.

Still, a small gate was created near the assigned area.

And crazy people who attack citizens indiscriminately.

Villains were also seen.

A villain saw him slaying a monster.

Suddenly, he rushed in.

“You bastard! A bastard wandering around in a dark place like an asshole…”

Looking at his eyes, it seemed like he had already inhaled Chaotic.

Of course, it wasn’t worth responding to.

Pugh-

Hwang Yong-gyun hit a villain in the face with his fist.

Authentic and straight.

Soon the villain was lying on the floor.

‘It won’t even be C+ grade.’

I don’t know if he fainted or died.

Hwang Yong-gyun was not a part-timer.

His eyes hurriedly followed another enemy.

‘The enemies that invaded this area are nothing special…’

Instead, there are countless citizens within the district.

At least within the area covered by the Blood Jaguars.

No citizens should have been harmed.

But to be honest, the organization’s power was insufficient.

We cannot protect all citizens alone.

“Hmm?”

But then his gaze stopped at one place.

“Sister Noeul! Watch your back!”

“Okay! Leave it to me! I’m a magical girl… no, I’m a wizard!”

A young man appeared.

It was clearly a male cadet named Lee Jun-woo.

He was collaborating with Noeul Jeong to kill monsters.

‘Miss Noeul has a good sense of entertainment, but she wouldn’t be that great as an awakened person.’

The tools for a wizard are not bad, though.

For a wizard, he seemed overly excited.

As he is older.

During the battle, I couldn’t quite understand what Jeong No-eul said about being a magical girl.

So recently, rather than conquering dungeons.

He assigned her to the entertainment business, another important part of the organization.

But it was different now.

I’m sure I saw those two people for the first time today.

Lee Jun-woo and Jeong No-eul were showing very good chemistry.

‘Miss Noeul is also fighting very well here.’

I could tell when I saw it.

It’s all thanks to Lee Jun-woo.

It seemed like he was continuously giving appropriate instructions to Jeong No-eul.

‘Lee Jun-woo. Theia Academy, it was the boss’ motivation.’

As expected, Lee Jun-woo did not seem to be an ordinary cadet.

A few hours before now.

I thought back to the embarrassment I felt when I shook hands with Lee Jun-woo.

‘Why do I feel that way…’

I couldn’t believe it.

I’ve been rolling on this floor for over 20 years.

He was a member of a worn-out underworld organization.

He carefully looked into Lee Jun-woo’s eyes.

But those eyes were different from before.
