Kids (2)
2028. 12. 21. Thursday.
Accompanying Park Gun-yeong and Lim Seong-min, I enter the annex located to the right of the Hero Training Academy.
The appearance was not much different from other buildings and training grounds, but since it was built exclusively for 3rd and 4th graders, the difference was evident from the cafe on the 1st floor.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think your skills match our team’s personality.”
“I have enough practical experience… … .”
“That’s why you said skill. I also need to pay attention to the combination of abilities. I don’t want to include two people with fire-type abilities.”
If the main building and the training ground are places for cultivating qualities, this is more like a social environment.
Those who have reached the dispatch and graduation stages gather in one place to plan the next mission, and halfway wanderers struggle to fill the vacancy.
It was like a jungle where the luck of the day was determined by the ability of each individual.
However, there was no time to leisurely drink coffee, so I soon took the elevator and moved to the third floor.
through.
When the door is opened, a spacious space that can accommodate hundreds of people is revealed.
There was a circular ring-shaped desk in the center, and an administrative staff was always on standby to greet a very small number of visitors.
It wasn’t that it wasn’t, but the interior was very quiet.
“Maybe it’s the final exam period, so it seems everyone is putting their energy into outside activities.”
“Are we the same?”
“That’s right.”
A bird that talks as if Park Gun-young and Lim Seong-min are close friends.
I approach the middle and look up at the monitor at the top.
The total number of teams for that year is 91, and next to each ranking is a sign saying that they are on a mission or looking for a mercenary.
And the team I made was 82nd among them.
In a short period of time, they climbed nine steps, but considering that the bottom teams virtually ceased activity, there was nothing to be happy about.
“Ranked 82nd after the 3rd dispatch. Not bad. But every time I look at the leaderboard, I think, Yongsu, you really… I wouldn’t mind naming it. Isn’t raid 1 too much?”
“… … .”
“For now, I choke every time the supervisor says ‘Team Raid 1’. If you don’t have any ideas, I’ll ask. You’re supposed to be on Team Raid 1 until you graduate.”
Therefore, Ignore Lim Seong-min’s bullshit and turn my eyes to the monitor for mission selection.
There are three types of dispatch.
It was divided into government, private companies, and private requests.
[Capture or Kill the Villain/Jaeho Lee, Estimated 7th Grade/Gwangmyeong, Gyeonggi/Point 72]
[Secure Tortum (Level 7) biological tissue/Grade 6 main raid and 10 others/Enhance the game/Point 60]
[Kill a herd of contaminated wild boars/Collect more than 90, remove at least 75/Asan, Chungcheongnam-do/Point 35]
[Slay the Villain/Jung Won-jun, Level 6 Confirmed, Accompany Level 5 Main Raid/Namyangju, Gyeonggi, Asan, Chungnam/Point 96]

Most of them were made in the metropolitan area, but some were announced in a fairly wide range, from Chungcheongnam-do to the northernmost part of Gyeonggi-do, and the higher the distance or the higher the risk, the higher the score.
Unfortunately, most missions are unacceptable under the current circumstances.
Only the lower level of G3 is possible.
[Sera Team (Level 9) Removal Operation Cooperation / Estimated 15, Level 7 Main Raid Accompanied / Ansan, Gyeonggi / Point 6]
[Villain whereabouts/Accompanied by the management bureau tracking team/Guri, Gyeonggi/Point 3]
[Scalp (7th grade) removal operation cooperation/single entity, several lowest level, accompanied by three 7th grade raids/Gimpo, Gyeonggi/8 Point]
.
.
.
[Acher (Level 9) removed/five and contaminated environment, accompanied by level 8 main raid/game miscalculated/Point 4]
The good news was that it wouldn’t take too long to rise to G2.
“I passed all three G3 missions with the highest score, so if I fill in two more, it’s G2. Let’s get rid of it quickly and move on to 10 points. What do you think would be the next dispatch?”
“… Well.”
“Isn’t it ambiguous?”
As my companions say, it is not easy to choose.
Excluding missions with the word cooperation attached to them.
The recent battle on the lakeside was similar to this, so it could have been reduced to a spectator and the points lost as points and going back and forth to play.
what.
I didn’t let it go that way in the first place.
Anyway, it was right to avoid cumbersome options.
“If they are similar, it might be better to focus on the points. Even if it’s me, the other kids have to raise their rankings at the end of the semester.”
“Sungmin, do you mind?”
“yes. The goal for this year has been met. It went up to the top 300 after the wave. Even if you’re ranked 398th, you’re in the 300th, right?”
Then, suddenly, Im Seong-min steps forward and spreads out a wide field.
It was annoying that he spit out rude words at the elder, but looking at the suggestion itself, it made sense.
It is not a position to cover the mission.
“I have decided. Let’s go to the highest one.”
“… You don’t have to go all the way to the score. The highest is the subjugation mission in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, but since it’s south of Yongin, you’ll have to spend the night there. Won’t it be troublesome?”
“… … .”
“Well… It doesn’t mean anything else, but it seems like he’s already taking care of me a lot. The dispatch schedule is also tight, but if you go to the distance, you won’t feel tired.”
But why is Park Geon-yeong giving up?
To this, the parrot added a comment from a far away place.
＜Your conscience is barely alive. Come to think of it, Simseong seems to be the best guy. Two-top with Toya.＞
“Hey! go away… Whoop whoop!”
I won’t argue with this series of claims, but… I don’t know what kind of symbol it is to take a bath in a water purifier.
Turning the handle with its beak, it bounced the water by turning its large body, including the wings, groin, and tail feathers.
Thanks to that, an innocent administrative employee kept looking at me.
＜This is happiness.＞
“… stop and come back.”
＜I refuse. A bath is essential for this parrot… It’s like a kind of welfare!＞
Since he likes to take a bath, the desire to make it into soup is rising rapidly.
＜… Shouldn’t you go Like a wild and promiscuous beast.＞
How nice it is to come back when you speak once.
Soon enough, around the time the flapping of wings resounded, I turned my attention back to Park Geon-young.
It was understandable that he wanted to be considerate, but it turned out to be beneficial to both parties.
“The remaining side is more troublesome.”
“… Oh, isn’t it a bit noisy these days?”
Do not respond to what follows.
In fact, life inside the walls after the business meeting was a series of hardships.
Crowds gather near the residence in Seongbuk-dong and hold demonstrations every day, but in the news, government officials made a strong argument that they should not go to the United States.
And even though they couldn’t invade the corner of the room, they succeeded in entering the training academy.
I was voluntarily shooting in all directions.

Early on Saturday, the second day after submitting the application for dispatch.
The vehicle in which Team Raid 1 is riding coolly runs through the city center.
After crossing Gangnam and entering the 3rd area at once, the scenery of Seongnam City unfolds beyond the car window.

My eyes were busy examining the familiar surroundings, but my ears were busy eavesdropping on the sounds coming and going between the passenger seat and the back seat.
Up to some areas of Yongin, it is definitely inside the 3rd barrier.
The manager mobilized Gearco HT Group’s vehicles to help them on their journey to Anseong.
Thanks to that, Im Seol-ha was excited.
“Are you not eating? Chocolate and sweets… … .”
“… … .”
“hit. Didn’t you hate sweets?”
It took a while to grab a handful of snacks provided in the car.
When Park Yoo-jin, who has a languid personality, points to the car heater with a bright smile, exclamation bursts out.
“If you’re thirsty, drink some water. There is also a refrigerator next to it if you want something cold.”
“Wow… See you in a really long time!”
“I’m going to come out on the day of my return, so I’ll pack a lot for you on the way back.”
“really?”
“Yes. Really.”
Hearing it from the front seat might be funny, but if you look at each reaction, it’s not hard to guess that he once lived well.
It’s not the first time I’ve seen it, it’s been a while.
However, to point out, the ability to deal with people is far behind.
I stared silently at the old town full of hills outside the window.
It’s a disgusting place any time you look at it.
＜If you suffer moderately, it is called a memory, but if you pay a terrible price, it will only remain as an experience. If it’s disgusting, I saved it.＞
Comments were unnecessary.
“Mr. Yongsu?”
“… Yes.”
Then, all of a sudden, a call comes from the passenger seat.
Even without looking in the rearview mirror, it was easy to tell that it was manager Park Yoo-jin’s voice.
“The schedule is 2 days and 1 night, so I can’t afford it. I wish I could have taken a week off and started after Christmas.”
“Did you have plans for tomorrow?”
I roll my head, but nothing comes to mind.
That said, it’s not an official schedule.
“Is it your birthday?”
“… … .”
“Isn’t it December 24th?”
I was right, but I couldn’t find anything to answer.
yes.

Maybe this was the day I was born.
“Christmas Eve is my birthday! I’ll take two presents!”
“Iknow, right. That makes me a little envious.”
“Take it easy, sister.”
“That… Will it?”
“Yes. But really, the day of my comeback is my birthday. I need to finish it soon. Should we have a party? If I had known it was your birthday, I would have prepared a present for you.”
In the midst of this, Lim Seol-ha and Park Yu-jin develop into a sister-sister relationship and start playing drums and janggu.
The words that came out naturally became sharp.
“You have no money.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… And, the settlement will come in soon.”
I won’t bother listing the point that the eyes and heart mixed with rebuke are important.
The atmosphere of the neighborhood and the chatter about birthdays were all irritating.
“Toya, if it were your younger brother, you would have scolded him. One hit.”
“… … .”
“Words that do not exist, made up. Both my ally and I hurt. It’s all bad. Everything is bad.”
At this, the angry girl secretly whispered my age.
Suddenly, with a jolt, the car’s brakes locked and the seatbelt tightened.
Pieces of cookies fly with a roar in succession, until the world beyond the car window turns upside down.
It is abalone.
＜Pretty dear… Eh! cook! Knock!＞
It takes a couple of turns before the car manages to come to a stop, while the new head, not wearing a seatbelt, pays the price for violating the road traffic law.
“Toya”
“… I came to my senses. save.”
Of course, the first thing that came to our senses was the close job, so we unfastened the seat belt with pure grip and did our own thing.
Toya looked after the safety of the team members, the manager, and the driver, and I tore off the entire door to secure an escape route.
Check the floor and engine parts for oil leaks.
And soon, when I was sure it was safe, I turned my head to find the cause of the accident.
The side of the obliquely sloping road was empty as it was at dawn, but a beggar was standing less than 10 meters away from the scene of the accident.
“How are you? What is your name?”
The words I spit out are Korean, but the tones are mixed… By all accounts, he is a villain from the north.
The gallbladder is big.
Well, it crawled all the way to the third barrier.
