222 – 42. Abel Legion
The Gate incident was like a disaster itself.
Gates that appeared unknowingly, without any warning.
More than 60 million gates have been opened in the United States, which originally only managed a few thousand gates within its own country.
From the East to the West of the United States. From the border with Canada to near Mexico.
The gates that appeared as if they were literally covering the United States poured out monsters commensurate with the number, driving the United States to the brink of destruction in less than a week.
No, perhaps it was because the United States was a superpower that it was able to last for a week.
Cities, villages, congresses, military bases, mountains, rivers, forests, lakes, etc. Were attacked simultaneously, and before proper contact could be made, monsters attacked the United States.
And the biggest damage among them is.
These were also the gates that were opened at the Pentagon.

Chaengkang!!
Even when the sword and fist collide, a metallic sound rings out.
Is Abel, who wields a sword as tall as an adult man, great, or is Charles Teddy Bear, who blocks all of those swords with a gauntlet, great?
What Abel wields is a holy sword that cannot be compared to any other artifact. No matter how good a Charles was, there was no way he could have received the holy sword with a gauntlet made of steel.
Because of that, I pass it over.
It is not possible to prevent the gauntlet from being sheared or cut when it collides with the holy sword, but it can be minimized by changing the trajectory or reducing the power.
It was a clear difference in technology.
“Ugh…!!”
So, it was natural for Abel to be impatient. We have already heard provocations telling us not to show mercy to our enemies. She gritted her teeth and swung her sword.
It was a swordsmanship that defeated an army of monsters exceeding hundreds of thousands in a dream, but it was completely helpless against Charles.
‘Why?’
Even though he was constantly pushing Charles, only questions appeared in Abel’s head.
Why?
‘Why…… ‘Is the holy sword not shining?’
Abel clearly saw the true nature of the Holy Sword with his own eyes. And that too from a senior warrior, Namgoong Min’s younger sister.
At that time, the holy sword was wrapped in rainbow colors, showing both ferocity and sacredness at the same time.
Like .
The perfect holy sword felt like a kind of cheat, a foul in itself.
This was the impression she felt when dealing with her sister in person. It couldn’t have been wrong.
Nevertheless.
Now Charles Teddy Bear is receiving the Holy Sword with overwhelming skill. The Holy Sword shines brilliantly thanks to the job skill , But I don’t feel any pressure at all.
It is just a sharp and strong sword.
I didn’t feel any sense of ‘foul’ that I saw when it was held in her sister’s hands.
‘Why? Why? Why?’
…… Are you saying it’s not enough?
Am I not good enough as a hero?
Kakang!!
Abel collided with Charles again and was pushed behind her.
Charles Teddy Bear was only focused on blocking the Holy Sword. Abel clearly had the upper hand in the battle.
Nevertheless, Abel was pushed out.
His eyes were trembling with all kinds of emotions.
“……If I’m not good enough…”
“……………….”
“……If I can’t do it…”
Okay then.
There is no meaning to me surviving in place of my grandfather.
You should have saved his grandfather from the collapsing Pentagon.
‘Ah…… ….’
How could I not know? Of course, the reason Grandfather died and Abel came back to life was not because of Charles Teddy Bear.
His grandfather was trapped in the burning wreckage, and he, who did not even have a job, almost died instantly.
Even though Abel somehow got his grandfather out, there was no way he would have survived.
Rather, he comforted his grandson, who was still crying and trying to move him, and entrusted him to a soldier who finally found them.
The soldier simply faithfully followed orders. In order to save the president’s grandson, he fought his way through the gates and monsters inside the Pentagon.
Nevertheless, I am.
“Actually…I know everything…”
“……Abel.”
“…You…Are…Intentionally…Promoting my hatred…”
“……………….”
“This is… Ultimately… A child’s complaint…”
Even though we know that Charles Teddy Bear is not guilty of anything.
Abel hated and hated him so as not to fall apart. Everything was blamed on him.
You should have saved his grandfather then too.
You should have saved my grandfather, not me.
You should have brought more soldiers.
I should have come a little sooner………
It was a funny thing. Even though the Gate incident is the culprit of everything, she actually hates Charles for saving her life.
But that happens surprisingly easily.
There is no return from hating the fire itself, so hating firefighters is common.
So Abel just passed it on.
All that karma and regret…… I just came back now.
“……Abel, just ask one question.”
“……………….”
“Why…Now? It’s okay if you don’t prepare for the hero’s mission now. You’re still a freshman, aren’t you? Even if you wait until you graduate, no one will say anything.”
“……………….”
“Why…Now?”
That.
That’s right.
“…Is it because of Namgoong Min?”
“……………….”
“In many ways… You are a great fortune teller. Even during the entrance exam, I felt something was out of the ordinary, but both Eileen and Abel are receiving help from that fortune teller.”
“……………….”
“It would be no exaggeration to say that Namgoong Min was the star of the Academy this year.”
How could I not know that?
Ever since I made a promise to Namgoong Min during the survival test in the first semester.
She continued to watch the fortune teller’s activities.
That’s why, that’s why……
“……Responsibility.”
“…Abel.”
“I envied Namgoong Min’s sense of responsibility…”
Unlike me who ran away.
Unlike me, who passed all my hatred onto innocent soldiers.
Unlike me, who is broken and broken and cannot even express his emotions properly.
The attitude of taking responsibility for everything you do and what you want to do.
That natural smile.
So much…… I’m jealous and it’s amazing.
“So, that’s why it’s better than someone like me…….”
“……………….”
“I thought it would be much better for Namgoong Min to be a hero…”
I wanted to be comfortable.
I wanted to run away from the weight of being a hero and the responsibility.
Why are we asking people whose world has already been destroyed to save it?
Since that day, my grandfather, who was my only blood relative, and the men I was close to all died in the Pentagon.
I am living with a blank expression.
“But, but…That’s something you can’t do.”
“……………….”
“I shouldn’t pass on to others what I don’t like.”
I think he’ll do better than me, so let’s leave it to the hero.
I knew very well how selfish that thought was, so I desperately tried to shake it off.
Abel is well aware of the responsibility and pressure that comes from being a warrior. She knows well how heavy the burden of being an American and the United States is.
So, I swallowed down the desire that arose in my heart, the temptation to become a hero instead.
So it was now. Because I felt like I couldn’t hold on any longer.
Because I thought it would be better to carry out my mission quickly.
But despite his own determination, Namgoong Min.
You lifted me up so easily.
So.
“No more.”
…… I can’t waste time.
Huung.
The next moment, the Holy Sword was right next to Charles Teddy Bear’s neck.
The sword touched his neck and caused a line of bright red blood to flow down.
Fourth.
Do not show mercy to your enemies.
“……………….”
The rainbow light that began to flow on the holy sword.
The holiness that began to bloom from Abel’s body.
Is this the beginning of ‘sufficient preparation’?
“…Go outside and have a look.”
“……….”
“The last person… Will be waiting for you.”
“……………….”
“……If you decide…Come back to the main auditorium.”
Because I can do as much training as I want.
Until you unravel all the knots in your heart.
Continued.

“Ah, warrior. Are you back? How are you? Did everything go well?”
“……………….”
“Hero?”
“…The last one…Was you…”
“……That’s right.”
It wasn’t a lie that Charles Teddy Bear was the last person he would meet.
The person who will awaken the fifth is…… Because he was already dating from the beginning.
An afternoon with the sun hanging high in the sky.
I look at Namgoong Min, who was sitting on a bench near the main auditorium.
“Hero, how are your preparations for ?”
“……….”
“You showed it once in a dream. You will be able to complete your mission only if you prepare that skill properly.”
Those words remind me of a memory from a dream.
Not when going to catch the principal, but when all members of the special job class first visited Mongjungmong to increase their job proficiency.
Namgoong Min fell asleep earlier than expected and fell asleep while in contact with Abel and the princess, sharing a lucid dream.
In it, the monsters created by another Namgoong Min were organized into .
“At that time, because it was a lucid dream, it was possible to cover even if the conditions were ambiguous, but in the United States, the story is different.”
“……………….”
“The warrior will always have to meet the conditions of the While going to the Pentagon in the United States. The moment the Is shaken even a little, the mission will end.”
The 2-day, 1-night trip was just an area without monsters.
The area near the Pentagon, which is believed to be the center of the gate incident, is surrounded by so many gates that even the sky cannot be clearly seen.
Tens of thousands of monsters will pour out from each of those gates, but will you be able to get through them without the help of ?
Even if we gather all the job holders and artifacts in the world in one place, we still need to predict the possibilities.
No matter how much of a warrior he is, without the , He would be nothing more than a handful of blood.
“So, let me ask you the last question.”
“……………….”
The final condition of the warrior’s job skill .
Fifth, always for good───
“──Are you going to give me the mission of a hero?”
“………!!”
“You’re quick-witted, so I was able to figure out what the hero was thinking about. That probably influenced his decision to go to America now that he hasn’t even finished his first year.”
“……………….”
“Here now. If the hero nods, I will take over the mission. I will do whatever it takes to resolve the gate situation. The hero will help me as well, but there will be no need to feel the sense of responsibility and weight that I do now. .”
“……………….”
“What would you like to do?”
True.
A brave fortune teller…… I always thought so.
“……Temptation…….”
“……………….”
“…Well, I received a lot.”
Confident eyes, confident voice, and smile.
When I saw that, I was confident. If Namgoong Min takes over the warrior’s mission, the gate situation will definitely be resolved.
But ironically.
So Abel shook her head.
“Jacob, Whiterose, Raphael, rich man, Charles.”
When I asked them all about the hero’s mission.
The answers were all different, but…… If there is one thing in common.
There was no doubt in my belief that ‘Abel Legion’ was a ‘warrior’.
So there was an American who apologized for going too far.
There was an article that praised it as being great.
There was a saint who evaluated it as a beautiful fight.
There was a great rich man who said to just enjoy it and run away.
There was a soldier who just dealt with me honestly, without any rhetoric.
“This…Is my mission.”
As expected, I am.
I don’t think I can leave everything to my friend.
So.
“Fifth, always act for the good.”
“…Are you all ready?”
“Yes, definitely…Sure, let’s meet again.”
“Of course.”
Half a day of ‘preparation’.
After saying ‘goodbye’.
Abel took her steps back to her main hall.
For a while, only the sounds of her sword and fists echoed in the main auditorium.
*
It was a day later that Abel left her academy.
‘A warrior left for America on a mission.’
When that fact made headlines and caused an uproar in the Academy and the world.
I was standing in front of the base door holding the key.
“……………….”

I blocked the door without saying anything.
Facing the four female students.
