Wave (1)
2028. 10. 23. Monday afternoon, Hero Training Academy 1-6 classroom.
After a weekend of volunteer work and personal training, I’m back at my desk, back to back.
An unfamiliar story was flowing from above the church.
“The ultimate goal of Organizational Behavior is to improve organizational performance. It is to discover talented people and study ways to motivate existing members of the organization. And before the midterms, we went over the theory behind ‘picking and managing raid members’. Right?”
“Yes.”
“like. In this class, we will have time to form groups and analyze each other. Don’t misjudge me. The point isn’t to build strong raids. After devising the most effective tactic, submit a report. Please describe why you made that decision, and write down the relative evaluation scores between the members of the group as well.”
“As for the evaluation score… … .”
“It is a comprehensive evaluation of the decision-making process. You can write them as A, B, and C. Write one A and one B, and one C for the rest. Time to make a group… I’ll give you 5 minutes. Maximum of 5 people, minimum of 3 people. Get started right away.”
Soon, with the sound of chairs being pushed, the inside of the classroom becomes busy.

My eyes are fixed on the pad screen and do not budge.
Looking at it, the class wasn’t important.
[Economy Magazine: KW Chemicals, delighted with the arrival of tankers. Prospects for improving performance in the second half.]
[The fastest and most reliable communication network, NTY.]
[Building Trend: A 38-pyeong house made of barrier construction materials. The house that HT Construction’s melee dealer saved from the monster?]
「Security Level 3/Following Pengcheng, even Dandong City fell. The northern wave is in full swing.”
At the top, miscellaneous news and advertisements were mixed, but at the bottom, information that can only be accessed through the security line is written.
Took.
As I tapped on the screen in succession, the details came to mind.
“Wave information: On the 21st, the People’s Republic of China reported that Dandong City (Yalu River Basin) had been captured.
The actual battle time and scale of damage were not mentioned, but the number of monsters was estimated to be at least 8,000 or more.
Accordingly, the Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of Korea is also closely monitoring the situation.
It is also a problem that the monsters gathered in Manchuria are moving south over the Yalu River, but because there is a possibility that they will also absorb the group in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula… … .」
I don’t know what to say.
Something you can’t easily understand?
Of course, I knew that the wave would come down around November. At that time, I was drafted into the combat support unit and was covered in blood.
Nevertheless, doubts still remain because this incident was far from a ‘large-scale wave’.
1,500 at most.
Even with the exaggeration, it was not enough to exceed 2,000.
＜I know why.＞
“… … ?”
＜That… It’s because you’re not actively participating in class. Is it a rebuke from the goddess?＞
“… … .”
＜You don’t have to roll your eyes. Whatever it is, it’s because of you.＞
As nearly 20 students complete the group, I present a counterargument against the golden macaw.
Do you mean that 8,000 birds (or more) are coming?
＜It doesn’t matter how you acted or what you did. It’s important that you exist. You warned me once before.＞
“Are you sure?”
＜A large-scale wave coming?＞
As I blinked my eyelids to express my affirmation, the bird’s head snapped its beaks together and spat out confident words.
＜It is unconditional.＞
“… What about the main?”
＜What I can feel right now is two 3rd grade and five 5th grade, but even that is not accurate. The distance is too far.＞
“If it’s level 3-”
＜Even if I die soon, I can’t win.＞

My head is complicated by the short information, but I added the addition that there is nothing to worry about.
＜Humans don’t even know why the waves happen, what does it matter? Hide behind a barrier and get there safely. Let’s leave level 3 to other heroes.＞
Sometimes it seems like a new head, and other times it comes up with surprisingly wise answers… Now it belongs to the former.
The barrier is the last bastion.
Firepower projection will be limited, and the battleground will be outside because there is a risk that ordinary citizens will have their minds controlled.
Which meant that they would eventually be dragged outside.
＜Huh?＞
I wanted to mock the stupid Chu-im-sae as much as possible, but just in time, the professor’s call flew in and my head turned.
His displeasure was evident, and it seemed that he would have to put off worrying about the wave to a later date.
“Lee Yong-soo, do you just sit still? You have to listen carefully even during the audition period.”
“… Yes.”
“Go ahead… … .”
He tries to separate my ass from the chair, then looks around the lecture hall and blurts out his words.
Naturally, there were not many seats left.
“Ummm, three of them? Let’s add Lee Yong-soo to make it four.”
“Yes.”
And at first glance, an uncomfortable face comes into view.
Park Gun-young and Lim Seol-ha, an aspiring hero without a face.
It was a combination that I had experienced in some tactical practice classes.
“how have you been doing?”
“yes.”
“Now that we are in the same group, let’s do well.”
“… … .”
As soon as I receive Park Gun-young’s greeting, I foresee the future. Although the large-scale wave was unexpected, I could easily guess that today’s lecture would not be easy.
In the time to think about the future that is out of order, sell your feet and enter another group.
Regret is too late no matter how fast it is.
“Hi, second look. I gave you a business card, do you remember it?”
“… … .”
“hahahaha, call me Seongmin Lim.”
“I forgot.”
“I don’t often forget that I belong to OSSAM, but celebrities are different no matter what.”
To make matters worse, I had even met a faceless guy.
About two weeks ago, I just forgot about it right away because I looked like I was overconfident.
＜Yongsu, it’s not bad. Seongmin, Seolha, Kya~＞
“… … .”
In the meantime, Lim Seol-ha closed her mouth and looked down at the floor. Apparently, the meeting last weekend was very intense.
If that’s the case, you can say it’s definitely broken.
Park Gun-young was overly motivated, Lim Seong-min was over-confident, and Lim Seol-ha and I stood on opposite sides, so it was rather strange that things were working properly.
Sure enough, the conversation between the four people gets tangled from the start.
“Should we start by revealing our abilities? how is it? Don’t we need to know that much to evaluate each other?”
“… It should be.”
“I’m a long-distance dealer, and my ability is ‘metal manipulation’.”
Soon, the confident nerd spits out a list of skills.
As for me, I have a reluctance to disclose the technology, so I can’t accept it favorably, and the other two people’s complexions darkened as well, as if there were parts they didn’t like.
“Metal control, metal detection, metal strength manipulation, catalyst, disassembly, even explosion. First of all, there are six of them. As you can hear, the focus was on destructive power. I am a sophomore, and my school ranking is 461st.”
“… That’s great.”
Well, it’s not difficult to figure out the situation.
Even if I didn’t mention the ranking, it was noticeable that he was trying to explain it in a general way.

Metal manipulation?
The classification of superpowers either broadened or, on the contrary, required a great deal of power.
If you had technology that actually uses ‘metal’ instead of iron, gold, or lead, you would have ranked 461st in the international rankings.
Therefore, it could be seen as a typical slaughter.
“What am I going to do next? I am a long-distance dealer, firearms type.”
However, it was still better than the poor one.
In the case of Park Geon-yeong, it is accurate to say that he is promiscuous.
[Handwork], [Penetration], [Weapon Adjustment], [Spark] to [Elementary Physical Defense]. It has a good collection of techniques that are neither this nor that.
“Spark?”
“yes. It helps when dealing with firearms. It’s like 2nd grade… My school ranking is 1,740th.”
Well.
Rather than firearms, it would be better if it was developed focusing on [Handwork] and [Penetration].
As a defensive AD –
＜Watch your mouth. It takes another 6 years for the defensive tech tree to be established.＞
“… … .”
＜What’s more, that guy hasn’t passed the parrot test yet. One of the two must be filled. One’s own strength is strong, or the influence is great and can help. He’s neither. So, the ojilap is tightly closed inside. Don’t even twitch your tongue.＞
I have no intention of making fun of my snout.
They will ask questions again and again, how can you handle them?
“Do you want Seolha next?”
“… yes.”
Anyway, I thought it would be better to stop judging others.
There was no place to use it even if I had to analyze it alone.
However, embarrassingly, the resolution is broken within a few seconds.
“I am a spirit sage. Summon the light spirit. Skills include [Flash], [Block], [Projection], and even [Concretization].”
“… You have materialization?”
“Yes.”
Im Seol-ha’s shoulders shrank at the inadvertently asked question, but it was worth asking.
If the spirit of light had [materialization] or [projection], it could fall into the support system.
yes.
It is a reinforcement series.
＜Yong-soo, he is a real nomad.＞
“… … .”
It seems like they keep mentioning my name lately, but unfortunately I have no intention of reflecting the opinion of the new head.
＜Why! why don’t you like it! You two ate and talked, huh? If it’s an enhanced class, it’s as rare as a melee class!＞
To repeat, there was no good place to use it.
Besides, it was clear that there must be a reason for hitting the bottom with such ability.
＜Ah, it could be. If so, we can help. hehehe. If you think about it, I wonder if he even packed a lunch box for you.＞
“… … .”
I won’t deny that they even gave me siraegit soup.
* * *
Two days later, the Blue House National Crisis Management Center.
The figures called to the National Security Council (NSC) sit around a table and receive a report from the Minister of Defense.
The faces of the attendees, including the president, the prime minister, the minister of the Interior and Safety, and the head of the management bureau with a bandage on their foreheads, were gorgeous, but all looked worried.
“If you combine the individuals who crossed the Yalu River and those who joined from the north, the total is… … .”
“Thirteen thousand.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… Can you stop this?”
When the Prime Minister vomits out a skeptical voice, the middle-aged man in military uniform does what he has to do step by step.
It is to recite the prepared material in a certain tone, neither slow nor fast.
Politicians were innately intimidated.
“After analyzing satellite images from the US intelligence agency and Russia, a third-class monster, Pector, was observed. There are five other 5th grade monsters, but since the wave basically aims to preemptively subdue the top monsters, I won’t mention them separately.”
“What is factor?”
“It is an armored monster. If you look at the photo, you can see that it has a hard outer shell, but the Chinese government gave up subjugation-”
“So you can stop it!”
After a while, I was speechless for a while.
The Minister of Defense puts a map of the Korean Peninsula on a projector.
“The tactical response is the same in the past and in the present. it’s a delay You may know that there are warlords in the North who have signed treaties with us. With these forts, I think we can hold out for more than 11 days.”
“… What next?”
“We’re going to fire in advance. We need to get rid of most of the Tier 9 monsters before we go into the raid.”
“I will ask you a third time. Are you confident?”
“… We will do our best.”
And the next day, the South Korean government declared a general mobilization order.
