“Hey, I think something is wrong.”

After sending the thesis on the crack by e-mail─.

Seo Ye-rim monitored Haildo’s every move.

The reasons and rights were clear.

“Heil is also a temporary employee of Telos. If a guy like that goes anywhere and causes trouble, the stock price of our Telos goes down.”

It was a very fair logic.

Ahn Young-eun, Seo Ye-rim’s secretary and friend, found it very funny that Seo Ye-rim suddenly thought about the stock price, but agreed with her.

She could also feel that something amazing was about to happen to her.

So we watched together.

They seemed to be experimenting with opening the same rift by manipulating the variables, and the seemingly impossible experiment succeeded.

Success in reopening the rift that was closed in the past.

The Telos company invited Dr. Newgate and invested expensive development and research funds to succeed, but only people succeeded.

“Really great?”

Ahn Young-eun was genuinely impressed.

She just couldn’t help but admire her.

“By the way, the readings on the magic detector are abnormal. I think it looks like at least a Class A crack. Yerim-ah, it’s too dangerous to just keep watching like this—”

“At least a grade A crack… !?”

Seo Ye-rim was watching Ha Il-do’s strange experiment from afar.

It was because she thought that if a possessor of powerful magical powers like Seo Ye-rim existed nearby, it would become too big of a variable and hinder the experiment.

However, if the crack opened like that had at least a grade A risk, the words would be different.

“I came from Telos Corporation! Everyone, please get out of the way! From now on, I, Seo Ye-rim, an S-class Awakener, will be in charge of controlling this place! Everyone, please get out of the way!”

Seo Ye-rim approached her crack as it was.

From noble mtl dot com

Fortunately, Seo Ye-rim was a celebrity, and everyone recognized her and obeyed her control.

Zuuung-.

As soon as I headed straight into the crack, I saw a cold blizzard blowing in. Of course, a snowstorm was not even an obstacle to Seo Ye-rim.

Sure-.

Seo Ye-rim radiated magical energy within her body and raised the temperature around her.

Snow and glaciers begin to melt in an instant.

Seo Ye-rim, an S-class Awakener, moved through the rift while changing the surrounding climate, and finally she was able to find Ha Il-do, who was fighting a 4-meter monster.

‘Troll? No, it’s bigger and the skin is icy. It’s definitely an A-class monster. Hail, too, isn’t he doing well against A-rank monsters despite having been a D-rank in his later years?’

It was a surprise.

She wanted to watch the fight as it was, but the rift was not a playground, it was a place where she had to risk her life.

Seo Ye-rim, who thought that eliminating her risk factors first, raised the temperature of her magical power.

“Spirit work, superheated hell.”

The ice monster began to melt like a snowman in the scorching summer sun under Seo Ye-rim’s magical energy. It shrank so much that it was visible, leaving only one small blue bead in the end.

“It’s easy.”

# # #

The S-class Awakener was like a natural disaster.

It was not a lie to say that one person could change the surrounding terrain and climate alone.

“To the point of being cowardly.”

The king of trolls, Kurish, whom I struggled with so much.

Such a monster melted and slumped to the floor like an ice cream that was not put in the refrigerator due to a convenience store part-timer’s mistake.

It happened just because Seo Ye-rim appeared.

In this situation, even Lee Jin-ah, who had prepared for her death until just now, seemed a little bewildered.

“This is an S-class Awakener. It is like the sun that has fallen to the ground.”

It must be feeling a big wall.

You’ll feel like you’re going to be able to reach that level if you work hard.

That’s exactly how I am now.

Of course, there would be work to be done before I could feel the sentiment now.

I looked at the floor and said.

“Is that why you completely collapsed? When I figured it out, it seemed that something like a nucleus in the heart was regenerating the body. Is that this bead?”

Zuuung-!

At that moment, something like the troll king’s ‘nucleus’ that had fallen on the floor rose into the air. Feeling ominous for some reason, I swung the beam saber in my hand and cut off the core.

“Thunderbolts—!!!!”

My ultimate technique is to use all my strength to slice through a thick steel plate like paper.

It was a skill that gave my name to a special move of a popular character in the past.

Zuuung, Chow ah!

That sword cut the beads.

The wounded orb fell to the floor as it was.

I no longer felt the ominous magic.

It must be the real end of the situation.

It was only then that I was able to breathe a sigh of relief and speak.

“Seo Ye-rim, there are many things to say, but thank you for saving me. It was a dangerous situation. Did you just see that monster? That’s the troll king. It really should have been at least grade A.”

“I have a lot to say, but first of all, I’m glad you guys are all right. Class C, did the two of you survive? Rather, did you just put your own name on the special move? Wow, what-“

Saying that, Seo Ye-rim looked around.

“Anyway, what is this place?”

Stairs and stone structures buried beneath the glacier began to emerge, and green fields were revealed beneath the snowstorm.

I didn’t think it was a dangerous place until just now. I even thought it was a very beautiful landscape.

How much can the world be reassured by Seo Ye-rim’s existence alone?

The hero I dreamed of was like this.

After all, people have to be strong.

Woowook Koo-.

Lee Jin-ah asked as I clenched my fists in regret.

“So, how do we get out? The exit is already closed.”

It was as Lee Jin-ah said.

The exit is already closed.

Jina Lee seemed to be panicking, but she didn’t really have to worry about the exit now that she had defeated the troll king.

“That nymph of ice water, Corris, told me. He can’t leave the temple because the troll king is guarding the exit. It seems that this rift has a fixed exit.”

It could have been, but it wasn’t.

We thought it was better to move than to stand still, so we explored the completely melted temple.

It was a grander building than I thought, and after a long search, I was able to find the exit at what could be called the center.

It looks a little subtle, though.

It was a door.

It was made of stone, but the center of it was very black, and I couldn’t tell where it was connected.

Seo Ye-rim looked at it and frowned at her.

“Where do you want to be connected? If it’s a door that’s open somewhere like the bottom of the deep sea of the Pacific Ocean, we’re in real trouble.”

“Wait.”

I brought some more gear just in case.

Shut-.

I took a drone out of my belt.

It was a reconnaissance drone specially made by the Osa Group.

“Drones? Hey, Haildo! What kind of equipment did you, a guy with no money, buy so much? You didn’t have any money because you were buying equipment and doing what you were doing!”

Seo Ye-rim blamed me.

As Seo Ye-rim said, I used to spend a lot of money buying various equipment. If the mana in the body doesn’t increase, try changing the hardware—I bought a lot of equipment with the same feeling.

And the reconnaissance drone was useful in its own way.

“This is a drone built to withstand the rebound of a crack. It works without a nod until the A-class crack. If you put this through this door now—”

Boo-.

Soaring drone.

The camera attached to the guy was reflected on the screen mounted on the mobile phone-sized controller.

Boo-.

Finally, the drone entered the black door.

Then, what I saw inside was—.

“A room?”

It was a room made of stone walls on all sides. The size seemed to be about the size of my studio, and it was very strange because it was a cube-shaped room without a single window.

“I should go and see for myself.”

I entered the black door.

Zuuung-.

When the beam saber is pulled out, the room instantly becomes bright.

Then I saw the pictures painted on the wall.

It was a scene where long-eared humans met and shook hands with short, pointy-eared humans. Just like an elf and a nymph—I think Lee Jin-ah frowned at her.

“I guess the one Kurish was guarding wasn’t the exit.”

Then what should we do?

Am I trapped like this?

At that time, Seo Ye-rim said.

“Soon my friend Youngeun will open a rift. Dr. Newgate developed a technology to drill holes in dimensions by tracking biowavelengths. It should have installed and started working by now.”

Zuuung-.

It was then.

A small portal actually opened near Seo Ye-rim.

It was a portal that only one person could enter.

“Look.”

“My God, how far has technology advanced?”

# # #

We are back in front of the best stationery store.

No one was hurt and no one was left behind.

In many ways, it can be said that it was a great success.

I looked at the mechanism installed in front of the stationery store.

It looked like a mirror, but it was in the shape of a door, crackling as if electricity were passing through it.

“It’s really amazing.”

As I admired it, secretary Ahn Young-eun said.

“It is a mechanical device created by Dr. Newgate in collaboration with the elves. The name is 「Bifrost」 And this technology will be the core of the 5th industry in the future. Really awesome, right? Do you know how much this is for one unit?”

That was awesome.

I have no idea how it works.

It was then.

Koris, a nymph of ice water, shouted from among the people.

“It is similar to the door that the exotic long-eared fairies showed when they visited the native nymphs… ! After the elves came, the cold winter came and it was really hard… !”

Elves came to visit nymphs?

I wondered what this meant, but considering that the cracks opened and elves appeared in the 21st century, it seemed like a story worthy of consideration in many ways.

Anyway.

I’m tired.

I sat down on the floor.

Things that happened just now are now belatedly starting to come to mind, but there were a lot of truly dangerous moments.

It’s a miracle you survived.

At the same time, it was very regrettable.

It was because my strength was so lacking. If Seo Ye-rim hadn’t appeared, what would have happened to me and Lee Jin-ah now?

Awesome -.

To be honest, I was resentful.

Compared to the real ones, I thought I couldn’t even stand on the starting line yet.

# # #

“I also drew enough experimental data. Dr. Newgate also said he wanted to experiment on the spot. Now, we are really one step away from commercializing Bifrost.”

Ahn Young-eun was very happy looking at her retrieved equipment.

With this crack experiment, the only thing left for the Telos company to stand tall among the megacorps of the 5th industry.

However, Seo Ye-rim’s expression was not good.

“… ….”

“Yerim, why? Is it because she almost got stuck in the rift?”

“Oh? No, look at this The core of this troll king. This is the heart of the troll king. I had to damage this to defeat him. It’s also pretty solid. Even though I tried to melt it at 2000 degrees, it wouldn’t budge.”

“Really!? If it’s 2000 degrees, it’s heat that can shock even quite a few A-rank monsters. You mean that bead or something has that kind of strength? Did you manage to defeat such a monster? It’s also Seo Ye-rim.”

“I didn’t knock it down. Heildo swung his lightsaber and cut it this big.”

Seo Ye-rim remembered what happened earlier.

When this orb glowed blue and tried to cause something strange, Haildo quickly cut it down and the orb was incapacitated and fell to the floor.

Ahn Young-eun was very surprised to hear the story.

“Are you saying that a Class C Awakener momentarily exerted as much destructive power as an A Class Awakener? Ohsa Group’s lightsaber is that powerful? Isn’t this really dangerous!? Osae has that kind of technology—”

Inside the Telos Group’s development room.

While Ahn Young-eun was worried about the war between companies, Seo Ye-rim looked out the window at Macheon City, where all kinds of lanterns were dazzling.

“Is the performance of the lightsaber good or not—”

As for her second possibility, Seo Ye-rim did not dare to say it.

“Perhaps, I don’t know if I could have taken it down if I hadn’t appeared.”
