Episode 157
Doo-Sik Lee is the deputy leader of the Red Army and a first-class exorcist.
In fact, in terms of skill alone, there was a sense of being pushed back by Yoo Jin-ho, but that doesn’t mean he’s falling behind any level 1 player.
‘According to the data sent by the headquarters, the opponent is one level 1 and one level 2 opponent.’
So I thought that if he took the 1st class and Han Kang-yoon took the 2nd class, he would be able to suppress it sufficiently.
crumble.
After making the judgment and waiting, two men in a messy appearance appeared.
One of them kicked his tongue and immediately sent an attacking technique, and Lee Doo-sik developed the advanced defense technique he had prepared.
Whoops.
Nettle juice!
Whoa-!
“I’ll take care of this size, so cut through there!”
“… Don’t let me do that.”
The opponent was also quick to make judgments.
Even though it was an intermediate technique, it was clear that the one who fired the heavy blow and attack was a first-class exorcist. In response, Lee Doo-sik ignored the middle-aged man who disappeared into the forest with Han Kang-yoon and his party, focusing on the opponent in front of him.
Whoops.
Whoa!
As I was trying to figure out the level of my opponent by competing with each other a few times like that, the man in front of me suddenly burst out laughing.
“What’s so funny?”
“Are you okay?”
“What?”
The man’s words were incomprehensible, but Lee Doo-shik felt a certain sense of insecurity there.
And that fear soon turned out to be true.
“Are the little ones over there apprentices? Then it would be difficult to bear.”
“Heh, level 2 are excellent talents that we can deal with. There is no reason for you to worry.”
“Hey, hey, what the hell are you talking about?”
The man seemed to be absurd, and he continued to speak with a pitiful glance.
“That one is stronger than me. After listening to what you said, the game will probably be better by now.”
“… what?”
Obviously, the headquarters conveyed the information that there was one level 1 and one level 2. And the man in front of me was definitely first-class.
If so, does that mean that the information is wrong?
‘It’s a big deal!’
Lee Doo-shik felt a strong sense of crisis penetrate his body.
No matter how good the academy or qualification exam is, the battle between exorcists risking their lives is different in real life.
In addition, the opponent is a first-class exorcist who has gone through all the antenatal care and even committed crimes, and has already killed people more than ten times.
It meant that the difference in experience was overwhelming.
‘I have to help.’
Dooshik Lee exuded a ferocious momentum and raised his spiritual power even more.
The opponent in front of him was also strong, but it wasn’t at a level he couldn’t beat.
By the time I was pushing my opponent to win, I started to feel someone’s presence from the bush.
number is one.
After confirming this, Doo-Sik Lee swallowed a sigh and bit his teeth tightly.
‘Damn it, I should have made him step down ahead of time… … .’
But there is no time for regrets.
Besides, Han Kang-yoon and Arietta are not the ones who will be treated lightly. Perhaps, realizing the difference in level, he quickly withdrew.
If so, what you have to do now is to stand up against the two until the other members come.
crumble,
What came into Lee Doo-sik, who had been so determined, was a gray-haired man with a familiar face.
This is Han Kang-yoon.
“Yes? how do you… … .”
“The other side has been arrested. I need someone to keep my seat, so I came alone. I will support you.”
“What?”
In other words, it means that Han Kang-yoon and Arietta overpowered the other.
At that, Dooshik Lee suddenly turned his head, wondering if his opponent was bluffing.
However, when I think about it again, it seemed that it would be difficult to show such wit in a moment of urgency, and the other person had a genuinely bewildered look.
At least he didn’t lie.
“I can’t, I can’t! He must be one step ahead of me!”
The man vomited anger, but that didn’t change the immediate outcome.
As such, the man collapsed due to Lee Doo-sik and Han Kang-yun’s cooperation, and the other members arrived one by one at the same time.
It was the moment the situation ended.
***
thud!
“Ouch.”
“Hey man, I told you not to fight. Isn’t the manager’s words the same? Ugh.”
“… … .”
Normally, he would have responded with trembling, but this time he had made a mistake, so he didn’t have much to say.
Doo-sik Lee patted his throbbing forehead and asked No-eul Shin.
“By the way, how did it go? If you don’t know, you’ll say you don’t know, but if you give me wrong information… … .”
“I heard that they deliberately confused me during the escape process. What do you do when you say it’s the guys at headquarters?”
“Zeep. At the end of the day, it was going to be a big mess. If only my children were hurt because of me… … Aww, the thought is terrifying.”
Even as he was fed up like that, Lee Doo-sik recalled the words of a middle-aged man during the convoy.
[…] Are they really human? Headquarters was also raising strange monsters.]
The man who was defeated by Han Kang-yoon and Arietta asked such a question as if his teeth were trembling.
As I was contemplating what it meant, Shin Noeul, who was beside me, spoke to me again.
“So, how are you? Do you think I can just keep participating in the battle in the future?”
“… It’s fast considering our newcomers, but wouldn’t it matter anyway? As long as the two of us can get first class, we’ve said everything.”
As a result of the confirmation, the middle-aged man they were dealing with was indeed a first-class exorcist.
To be honest, it was quite surprising.
“Kids these days are really cool. Can you do that without even mediocre practical experience?”
“I mean, it’s innate. Perhaps they feel that there is not much difference between a match and a real battle.”
Noeul Shin and Dooshik Lee quietly remembered their school days.
However, the more he did, the more his doubts deepened.
“I couldn’t do that when I was 20.”
“If you look at it that way, I was in second grade until just before 30.”
At this point, only laughter comes out of frustration. But on the other hand, if only such talented people could be brought to the Red Army, it would have been an incredible achievement.
“Let’s just put it next to the newcomers and assume the same role. I can take that kind of risk.”
“Yes. I think that’s right, too.”
In the end, Han Kang-yoon and Arietta were treated the same as other freshmen in their first or second year within a week of joining the Red Army as preliminary members.
Although it has not been a long time since its foundation, it was a moment when the tradition and history of the Jeokhwadan were overturned.

‘Fortunately, things are going well.’
Not that it isn’t, it’s really smooth. Looking at the atmosphere, it seemed that he had established himself as a solid enemy of the enemy team through this mission.
“… Am I okay?”
“Yes. All of the new recipes I have learned are passing marks by my standards.”
In fact, the opponent we faced this time was quite strong. To be honest, if I had competed alone, I would not have been able to guarantee the match.
‘However… … .’
Even if I didn’t know it in the first place, Arietta was already at the level of a first-class exorcist in name and reality.
When I mixed my shadow technique with Arietta’s special technique derived from the rare spirit blood trait, the opponent was constantly confused and pushed to the defensive end.
“… junior. How is the situation?”
“It would not have been very long before the situation of concern occurred.”
Now that I have been given a role that is roughly plausible, I have to solve the mission and work with the members to gain more trust.
Then, at the moment of the decisive battle, we will be of one mind and one heart and will be able to fight Myodousa.
‘… … .’
A week passed like that.
“hey! Han Kang-yoon! The captain is preparing for training.”
“Yes. I will go there soon.”
Kim Seung-soo, a second-year member of the Jeokhwadan, who is not that much older than me.
At first, they often put subtle checks and pressures on me, but after a few battles, I realized the difference in level and started to talk openly.
Thanks to this, I was able to share exchanges with the other two new members, which I was rather grateful for.
‘Because we’ve been together, we were able to grasp the power in more detail.’
The Reds are a fairly well-organized team.
Even if it was a big battle, even the third-class exorcist had a role assigned to it.
Obviously, if you can melt into this team and show synergy, it would not be in vain to catch Myodousa somehow.
As we were heading to the training ground with all the preparations done, all of a sudden, emergency sirens sounded throughout the building.
It means that there is an emergency signal, or at least a situation that requires immediate assistance.
“… junior.”
“Come on, let’s go.”
We ran quickly to the place where the other members were, and soon we were able to grasp the situation through Shin Noeul’s explanation.
“High-ranking monsters appear simultaneously in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi-do and Ansan. Among them, we are going to support Ansan.”
It is said that the simultaneous appearance of a whopping high-ranking youkai, and the one in Ansan, which we will be heading to, has already reached an A+ rank.
‘It’s a simultaneous appearance… … .’
I don’t feel good. Obviously, there was such a description at the time of the Myodousa incident in the original story.
I really felt that the moment of the decisive battle was near.

Maybe today is that day.Effortlessly hiding my trembling heart, I followed the members to Ansan, teamed up with the exorcists who were there, and defeated the A+ rank youkai, Wu Jangman State (牛樟鰻狀態).
On the way back to the residence after completing the mission, an incident occurred.
“Wow, I’m running out of gin.”
“How was the vice-captain? We are in the back, so I don’t know the exact impression.”
“It wasn’t a joke, he was a tough guy. I haven’t seen such a monster in over 30 years.”
Among the members who overcame today’s crisis, praised each other and cheered each other on, Shin Noeul showed a terrifying expression and immediately developed a detection technique.
And shouted to the members.
“Avoid everyone!”
That moment. A typhoon blew
Aww!
Kuwagwagwagwang-!
surrounding buildings, trees, and even the ground.
All of them lost their shape as if they had completely exploded, and the members were disintegrated in an instant and thrown out.
If Shin Noeul hadn’t sent a warning, the attack would have already caused serious injuries.
“What, what, what… … .”
“Heh heh, heh!”
After that, the powerful yogi weighed on all sides, and the members of the first and second year next to me fell into a panic and breathed heavily.
“It’s ridiculous, how could such a fearful energy… … !”
“Hey, you have to run! What about the chief and vice-captain?”
In the meantime, where the determination to train with all their might had gone, they looked around with fear like children.
It wasn’t as good as them, but honestly, I wasn’t that different in surprise.
‘… Like this?’
An S-rank youkai.
In the game, it was just a simple status figure, but in reality, it wasn’t.
S rank.
What the word meant was literally a disaster.
