Chapter 137 – Investigation (1)
In a dark alley.
One of the holders was knocking down the men around him with sparks.
“Die, die!”
“Queup- Save me, Queueak… !!”
A large sword and hot flames.
A multi-holder that uses two talents simultaneously.
He is a capable second year who is recognized even within the academy.
It was Life Myeong-hun.
Goo Myung-hoon did not pay attention to the pleas of the men around him to save him and cut them down without hesitation.
Anyway, these guys are outholders.
Holders who cannot be rehabilitated who have abandoned society.
Even the news that 〈 Villain 〉 is the culprit is garbage that has been received.
In dealing with those guys, there was no need to take humankind into their hands.
Shuk- Suss-
“Ouch… !!”
About six or seven?
By the time I cut down all the nearby Outholders and their screams became more frequent.
The sword fighting that covered the alley finally stopped marching.
“Huh, heh….”
Koo Myung-hoon took a deep breath and looked back.
The surroundings became bloody on all sides.
The broken outholders with all sorts of cuts.
A situation where no one can confirm whether he is alive or dead.
However, Goo Myung-hoon did not consider the level of his opponent and poured all his strength into using flame and sword at the same time.
I don’t know, but most of the men must have met death.
Murder.
Myung-hun Koo committed murder.
However, his eyes filled with anger were completely unaware of such a shocking fact.
Clap clap clap-
At the sound of applause coming from somewhere, Goo Myung-hun’s red eyes moved to look there.
Dark brown hair and eyes as dark as the abyss.
A black long coat that comes down to the legs adds to the atmosphere, but… A feeling of emptiness, as if something were missing.
The owner of the magic sword, Hwang Seong-yeon.
And next to him was Ji Yoon-jae, who was assisting him in an extremely low-key position.
“Funny. It’s a fun skill. How was it, wasn’t it uncomfortable?”
Hwang Seong-yeon looked at Goo Myung-hun with a rare smile.
To be precise, a black greatsword in his hand.
The worst magic sword ever possessed by Hwang Seong-yeon, it’s not like [Tyrbing], But… A special magic sword that is likely to be a deterioration version of that.
I asked if there was any discomfort in using him.
Goo Myung-hoon swung the sword in his hand back and forth with his eyes still filled with anger.
“Not at all. The cubs you are dealing with should be moderately weak, because they are too weak.”
“I’m sorry about that. We should have checked first if you could use that sword.”
After Hwang Seong-yeon burst into laughter.
Soon, she took out a potion from her coat pocket and handed it to Myung-Hun Koo.
An unknown drug shimmering in black.
It was a potion that Goo Myung-hun had already drunk once.
“Drink. It is the remainder of the potion given before. It will probably make it easier to handle the sword.”
“Not required.”
“It’s fun too. But don’t lose too much and drink it. To defeat the spy, we must borrow stronger power.”
“Spy… Jaehyun Do….”
Koo Myung-hoon’s eyes reminded him of that name…
Once again, he began to roar with anger.
Jaehyun Do.
In order to catch the spy, he created a strange circle called 〈 Anti-Villain 〉, but in fact he himself was a spy for 〈 Villain 〉.
He created a full-fledged group inside the academy and built up trust externally, but within it, 〈 Villain 〉 was firmly established.
When he first heard this story from Ji Yoon-jae, Koo Myung-hoon was dubious.
I thought it was too absurd and had many logical flaws to be true.
“Yes, I have to catch Do Jae-hyeon.”
However, at some point, my mental strength weakened, and now my judgment is clouded by anger…
Rather, I was certain.
Do Jae-hyun is a spy for 〈 Villain 〉.
His friend Park Jin-woo is also a spy.
Senior Jiah Yoon, her idol and wannabe, fell for the twist of the garbage and founded a circle together.
And only then did Koo Myung-hun understand everything.
He lost the confrontation with Park Jin-woo because he made a cowardly move on the side of 〈 Villain 〉.
In order to get rid of the stumbling block trying to appoint Yoon Ji-ah as the chairman, the guys put their hands on it in advance.
Because of this, he had to become stronger.
To save Yoon Ji-ah from the clutches of dirty guys.
In order to kill those who are actually spies for 〈 Villain 〉, but are deceiving themselves to catch 〈 Villain 〉.
Gulp- gulp-
Goo Myung-hun drank the potion given to him by Hwang Seong-yeon at once.
There was no hesitation or worry on his face.
Hwang Seong-yeon, who saw that, opened her mouth.
“Jiyunjae.”
“Yes, Boo… Manager.”
Ji Yoon-jae, whose title “Sub-master” Almost jumped out without realizing it, hurriedly changed his title to his team leader and replied.
Although a certain part of the brainwashing has already been completed and Gu Myung-hoon is devoured by the degraded demonic sword… He always had to be prepared for the unexpected.
“Go to Japan.”
“Japan… You mean?”
“Okay. From there, check that friend’s proficiency as a finishing touch… “
Hwang Seong-yeon, who was looking into her alley, raised a small corner of her mouth.
“Make sure you can kill the targets too. Lee Soo-yeon will be there in advance.”
“Lee Soo-yeon… ?”
“Ah, are you familiar with the name Cha Soo-yeon? Anyway, she’s the villain with her… Whoops, yes. Kill the villain.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Her order was given, and Hwang Seong-yeon soon disappeared.
An alley where only Ji Yoon-jae and Koo Myung-hun remain.
It was a night that still smelled of blood.
* * *
The weekend has arrived.
This weekend, the first activities of the 〈 Anti Villain 〉 Circle will begin in earnest.
Go directly to Japan and investigate the smuggling of illegal items by the trader with 〈 Judgment of Fire 〉.
〈 Judgment of Fire 〉 is a kind of large-scale collaboration project where dispatched personnel are also dispatched.
It was quite difficult to deduce the number of people.
Many members wanted to participate in this survey as it was the first step of the circle activity, but it was because the survey did not require as many members as expected.
“…….”
So the only thing I managed to narrow down was 4 people.
First of all, I am the chairman and Ji-ah Yoon, the vice president.
Since the two of us are the core of the circle’s operation, we needed to be at the forefront of the investigation.
Yun Ji-ah thought that she would not be able to go because she was quite busy with the recent interview for 〈 Judgment of Fire 〉, but fortunately, she had an empty schedule this week, so she was able to participate in the investigation.
The third is Jooyeon Kang.
She is also a link between our circle and 〈 Judgment of Fire 〉, and in this investigation, I thought there would be no other member who knows about her as well as she does, so I chose her.
It was a conversation with her that first discussed this method itself in the first place, so it was probably a natural choice.
And the last…
“Oh. A trip to Japan is exciting.”
“Please… It’s not a trip, it’s an investigation.”
“Two nights and three days is an investigation and triphaha.”
Park Jin-woo looked around with an excited face.
He is the fourth selector.
In fact, originally, he was going to come and go quickly with only three people, including Kang Joo-yeon, but he was added in preparation for an unexpected situation.
If a battle ever breaks out, you need a warrior class to fight on the front line.
In particular, Park Jin-woo is the main character in the original work.
A growth-type holder who learns new abilities at an amazing growth rate and rises explosively from the bottom.
For him, expanding his knowledge could be helpful in some way.
He was also a joiner who expected a chance to happen through him.
For me, who has already joined the mainstream and became a colleague with the main characters, Park Jin-woo’s growth was just as important as mine.
“Chairman. Shall we leave when we are all here?”
After getting ready, Jiah Yoon asked from her side.
We are now at the ‘International Mobility Warp Gate’ located in Incheon.
After the [Warp Gate] Became active worldwide, transportation between countries became much more convenient. Interestingly, the location where [Warp Gate] Was established was still where international airports were located.
This was because the international airport was the most suitable place to accommodate the large number of people pouring through the [Warp Gate].
Anyway, even after the holders arrive at the airport, they can move to the center of each country through the [Warp Gate] Again, so the Holder Association has established an ‘International Travel Warp Gate’ at Incheon International Airport.
Thanks to this, the airport was crowded with ordinary people trying to board a plane and holders trying to use the [Warp Gate].
I looked at the crowd and shook my head.
“No, not yet. The Injustice Clan members will also come.”
“A judgment by fire?”
“Yes. I decided to go with the contingent from there.”
I turned my head and asked Jooyeon Kang.
“Where did you contact me?”
“… About 3 minutes. They say they are late for equipment maintenance.”
“OK.”
In any case, 〈 Fire Judgment 〉 people are needed to conduct an accurate investigation.
We spent time exchanging small talk with a relaxed mind.
And exactly 3 minutes.
After the time Kang Ju-yeon said, a group of unusual holders approached us.
Even at a glance, the high level of magic power capture and distinctive appearance.
And.
The closer you get, the more familiar…
Faces I’ve seen for a long time.
“It’s been a while, Do Jae-hyun.”
“Do Jae-hyun, hello!”
“Huh~ Mr. Intern became Mr. Chairman?”
“Nice to see you. I am Kwon Oh-joon, a member of the Injustice Senior Clan who was in charge of the dispatch team leader for this investigation.”
Colleagues during my internship.
〈 Judgment of Fire 〉 My hunting team 5 members were with me on this dispatch.
