“Is this the list?”
read at noblemtl.com
Manager Cha reconfirmed the newly announced list as previously scheduled.
“Well? Nothing has changed.”
When I checked again in detail, nothing had changed, it was just that the order had changed a little.
“Why do you have to do this…”
What the hell is the intention behind it?
It’s not that the person has changed, it’s just that there is a slight change in the rankings.
It felt like I was trying to divert my nerves in this direction.
“Then why?”
With this assumption as a certainty, I thought about its intentions.
Why did you try to change your mind?
The United States should have already known that Sung-hyun had checked the list.
Besides, he would have entered the first-class door by now, so there was nothing he could do big from the outside.
It was also a place that attracted the attention of the whole world, and it was impossible to play other masterpieces because it was made up of only the top-ranked hunters from 1st to 9th, not just in one country.
Basically, most of them seem to bow down to the United States, which is number one, but there is always a check.
Because everyone was reluctant to have too much power.
“no way.”
The more I thought about it, the more all my worries were linked to a single result.
Everyone will pay attention to Sunghyun.
Even in the US, a gap was naturally created in Korea.
“Kim Hunter’s family.”
There was no record of Hunters from other countries entering the country.
If hunters who are known to be strong enter the country, of course, those records will be passed on to the Association.
Choi’s ominous foreboding was exactly right.
An urgent voice began to flow from the device that set the radio frequency of Seong-hyun’s family bodyguards.
[Ugh…!]
[invasion…!]
After that, all you hear is the sound of something being cut and the chirping sound of a broken radio.
“Hey, you crazy bastards…!”
When Seong-hyeon first instructed me to stay here, I was a little worried, but I did.
Invading a foreign country without being crazy enough.
It even planned the kidnapping of a target with numerous security personnel stationed there.
This was crazy.
It means turning Korea itself into an enemy.
Of course, the United States could not have known this, and that was to say that it had been preparing for quite a long time.
“I don’t have time for this.”
They weren’t very good, but as a hunter specializing in security, they were specialized in that field or had basic skills.
It wasn’t anywhere else, it was DNN, the association, and the personnel sent there from the academy.
It was not an easy matter to think of as having determined that he was confident enough to dispose of or abduct and kidnap the entire workforce.
Even though it was near the building where Seong-hyeon’s family lived, he didn’t even feel a presence.
The frequency set now was also the radio of the personnel guarding the inside, not the outside of the building.
The fact that there is an owner with abilities similar to that of Manager Cha.
Fortunately, it was moved to a nearby room.

Manager Cha immediately opened a crack into the room where Seong-hyeon’s mother was.
“Only me can protect you.”
Even though he had not yet met the criminals, Manager Cha let out a deep sigh and threw himself into the crack.
“Oh? Aren’t you the manager? What are you doing?”
The mother was not surprised to hear from Seong-hyeon that this could happen in an emergency, along with the abilities of Manager Cha.
“You have to go… you have to.”
“yes? What suddenly…”
It was hard to accept, but Seong-hyeon had said that Manager Cha would come only in an emergency.
“Stand, please…”
“There is no time for this. The opponent means that we have thoroughly prepared enough to target the territory of the Republic of Korea, where DNN, association, and academy security personnel reside.”
Now, their only variable is only one manager.
“How are we, our Hyein…”
“Don’t worry. You must first enter the rift.”
“Yes Yes!”
Seong-hyeon’s mother threw herself into the crack and was about to open the crack to Hye-in’s school, but the door slowly began to open.
Stealth enough that you can’t hear the sound of the guards waiting at the door.
“…?”
A very brief moment of eye contact.
It didn’t take long to figure out that things had changed.
“catch! Never miss it!”
I tried to enter the crack in a hurry, but suddenly a hand appeared from the air and grabbed the manager’s ankle.
‘If you get caught here, it’s all over.’
At that moment, Seong-hyun and the future of Korea will all disappear like smoke.
There was no time to think about it, but there was no way to get rid of that hand that was holding my foot now.
“Wow!!”
“Huh… you crazy.”
The man in the hood picked up what had fallen to the floor with blood.
“Cut off your feet without hesitation and run away?”
He cut off his ankle with his own hands.
It could be said that his life as a Hunter was now over.
Such a decision was made without a moment’s hesitation.
“Hey… you’re getting annoyed. Call me right now. You have to hold onto that little brother.”
In a little while, school will be over.
No matter how well prepared he was, he was not bold enough to openly work in a school with hundreds of ordinary people.
“All right.”
“It goes out quickly. If there are more, we are at risk too.”

Meanwhile, Manager Cha was barely enduring the pain by holding on to the amputation of the blood-gushing foot.
“El, Elixir…!”
The elixir left by Sunghyun.
There was only one bottle, but if I didn’t use it now, I wouldn’t be able to save my brother.

Manager Cha took the elixir out of his arms with trembling hands, barely grasping the mind that was clouded by pain and brushing off the elixir.
“Heh heh heh heh heh heh…”
The mind that seemed to be blown away at any moment returned to its original state, and although the severed foot did not regenerate, the bleeding and pain quickly subsided.
“Come on, you have to go.”
The distance from Seong-hyeon’s house to the school his brother attends was not a distance that could be opened at once due to a crack.
It would be possible if I focused my mind, but I couldn’t afford it right now.
A situation where you have to open a few more rifts on the way.
“Please don’t be late…”
——————————————–
“Hye-in. Is the gym teacher looking for you for a while?”
“yes? why?”
“I don’t know?”
There was no gym class today, so why are you looking for yourself?
“Stand, please…!”
Then there was only one thing that came to mind.
It’s been a while since I’ve been to the gym, but how did I find out?
“Where are you?”
“I will be waiting for you in the auditorium.”
“thank you!”
Hyein ran towards the auditorium with light steps.
without knowing what would happen.
“Teacher. Did you call?”
“Ah, Hye-in is here? It’s no different, do you go to the gym?”
“Yes Yes!”
“I thought so. Shall we go first? I don’t have time.”
“…yes?”
“You will know when you come.”
He had a kind and warm smile as usual, but strangely, he continued to feel lethargic.
“Yes Yes…”
But this is school.
Wondering what might happen, Hyein followed the gym teacher.
“But how did you know? Going to that gym.”
“You know it just by looking at it.”
“Then, do you know of a better place than Jinyoung Gym? It seems a bit narrow…”
“A better gym? Ummm… I don’t know about that?”
“…”
Hyein stopped her footsteps and looked at the gym teacher’s back.
“Why?”
“Teacher.”
“yes?”
“I don’t go to Jinyoung’s gym.”
“Uh… is that right? Come on, the teacher must have been confused.”
Normally, I would have thought I could do that, but it wasn’t as much as it is now.
In addition to the fact that he is trying to move without explaining the reason properly, the situation where his older brother is in the United States.
It’s unlikely, but what if they’re trying to target them when your brother is away for a while?
“Now…where are you going?”
“If you go, you will know everything…”
“now!”
“What?”
“If you don’t explain it now, I won’t go.”
A moment of silence lingered.
And what broke that silence was none other than the changed expression and atmosphere of the PE teacher.
“If that’s the case, I can’t help it either…”
It wasn’t the gym teacher I used to know.
In the changed atmosphere, it was not only felt to live, but there was a lot of hostility.
“I can’t kill you and take you away…”
That was then.
It felt like my body was being pulled back for a moment, and at the same time, I felt a life I had never felt at all.
“Where…!”
The physical education teacher who was in front of him appeared in front of him in an instant that he was unaware of, and immediately swung a sword he had never seen before.
“Ahhh!”
It’s the first time I’ve ever heard the sound of skin being ripped and pierced.
But he wasn’t the owner of the sound.
“ね…!”
It was the owner of the hand that pulled his body back.
It was the car manager.
“not…!”
I couldn’t hear the gym teacher’s backstory.
Hyein opened her closed eyes, feeling that the sound was completely blocked rather than reduced.
“Tea, chief of tea!”
“It’s ok, it’s okay… Kuh-huh!”
“What should I do…what should I do…”
“it’s okay.”

Manager Cha, who calmed Hye-in from crying, confirmed the puncture site.
‘Everyone has a high level.’
At the moment when the first crack was opened, the man in front of him felt the magic power, and Manager Cha held out only his upper body and pulled Hyein’s body.
At the same time, the sword attack of the man who flew in.
The first sword attack was as expected, so he was able to open the crack and block it, but the next one was too much.
Hyein would have been hit if she was wrong with the attack of stabbing the sword that had been thrown off.
Pulling Hyein into the crack and twisting her body, it barely pierced her shoulder.
“Whoa… listen carefully. You must be here for a while.”
“Mom, how about you?”
“I brought it. I will take you to your place right away.”
Another crack open of the crack.
When I entered the room, my mother was restless with a worried expression on her face.
“Mom!”
“Hyein-ah!”
In the meantime, Manager Cha tore his clothes and finished bleeding, looking at the mother and daughter hugging each other and said,
“I have to go.”
“yes? Why would you…”
“I cannot stay here long.”
It wasn’t difficult to put another person inside.
Outside the rift, the rift could be maintained only with magical energy that was restored to nature.
However, there was no magic within the crack.
Even at this moment, the mana of the manager of the car was running towards the floor.
“I don’t have much time. I’ll protect you somehow… so please don’t worry and wait. And even if a rift opens here, you must never come out.”
“I know.”
Now I had to move all the remaining magical power.
I wanted to move to the Association, but it was impossible with the remaining magical power.
Distance traveled…
‘Is the school everything?’
worst case.
Even at this moment of trouble, the magic power in his body was gradually heading towards the bottom.
If you delay just a little bit, you will have to go back to the auditorium that brought Hyein.
‘There is no way… no way.’

Manager Cha eventually opened a crack leading to the school’s roof.
“Ugh…”
Fortunately, no one was on the roof.
Besides, since there are people in the crack, it won’t be easy to detect the location with the amount of magical power.
“Is that the only way…?”
Last way closer to gambling.
If it wasn’t for this method, I thought soberly and couldn’t see a way to overcome the situation.

Manager Cha took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
The fastest way to recover magic power is to fall asleep.
In the meantime, if he received a strong attack, it was all over, but the opponent would never be able to kill himself.
Their goal is within the rift.
