“Of course, it is the cadets’ choice to refuse, as this is a request made in the form of a cadet request. As for me, I came here to make a request from Japan, but still, the safety of Korean talent comes first. Riella also emphasized this point.”
The new investigator also said that it would be good to take Kim Ha-jun along, but she gave priority to the children’s choices.
Still, he’s an S-class unchained villain.
This is a quest that could lead to the death of two cadets who are still inexperienced if done wrong.
On the other hand, Ha-jun was more curious about where the wise man Choi Joong-won went than his worries.
Where is the headmaster going, and is the Shinsusa grandmother acting as a proxy?
Let’s settle the case and see you later.
Hajun nodded his head for a moment.
Rather, I was contemplating how to intervene in Han Si-young’s request, but it was beneficial to alleviate that concern.
“I will take it. you?”
Ha-jun looked at Han Si-young and asked.
Of course, looking at his face, he seems to have already made a decision.
“I will take it too.”
“her… … .”
And Kim Hong-wan shed a sigh of surprise at the decision of the two cadets.
Even so, it was supposed to be a subjugation request for an S-class villain, but accepting it so easily made me feel a little confused.
“Are you really okay?”
“Yes.”
“it’s okay.”
“under… … , All right. For now, we plan to cooperate with two of Japan’s top-class heroes to carry out subjugation.”
As Kim Hong-wan continued to explain the operation, Ha-jun was thinking differently.
‘It’s Japan… … .’
Ha-jun had never traveled abroad, and of course, it was his first trip to Japan.
So I was a little excited.
After work, I thought that I should go to Tokyo or Osaka to play.
“Okay, then I will explain the detailed operation again on the spot. Now we’re talking about rewards. First of all, the Japanese side is thinking about 100 million yen… … .”
In terms of Korean Won, it was about 1 billion yen.
However, Ha-jun and Han Si-young did not show much reaction to the amount.
Of course, as Ha-jun, I already have enough, and Han Si-young doesn’t have much greed for money either.
In response to that indifferent reaction, Kim Hong-wan had no choice but to ask a question a little cautiously.
“that is… … , are you short?”
Of course, to that question, Si-Young Han shook her head and showed a blunt response.
You probably don’t want anything else, so you’re just going to get money.
However, Hajun was thinking with his arms crossed.
What can I say more than money? … , I was contemplating whether there was a better condition.
After thinking about it for a while, Hajun opened his mouth with a thought that came to his mind.
“Anything other than money?”
“Is there anything you want… … ?”
To that question, Ha-jun honestly answered the reward he wanted.
Upon hearing that, Kim Hong-wan began to make a slightly bewildered expression.
It was the same with Si-Young Han.
This one is for that lil chicken owl
No, should I say it’s a bit of an absurd expression?
“So… … , you want to borrow a quick gate user for a Japanese tourist destination?”
Up to this point, it was a condition that was acceptable to some extent.
However, the conditions that followed were a bit absurd.
“And every time I go sightseeing in Japan, is it my life?”
“Yes.”
I really want to try overseas travel, but the preparation process was cumbersome.
And if you think about moving by plane or train in the process, it’s sure to be boring.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just look around the US tourist spots in the same way you did before?
When Kim Hong-wan heard this, he folded his arms and moaned as if thinking a little, and opened his mouth.
“her… … , Once the request is resolved, I will negotiate as much as possible. Since the gate-capable person is a valuable superhuman… … .”
Well, at that time, the great hero Drian Heights asked for it, and it was possible because the superhuman power of the United States was the United States.
However, since the matter is serious and dangerous, I think we should discuss it first.
“By the way, when are you planning to go on a trip? … ? Isn’t vacation just over?”
“Are you going to catch him and play right there?”
“Yes? Uh, um… … Come to think of it, I didn’t say this. In fact, there is no need to go to Japan.”
“… … ?”
“Sandman, he is in Korea now.”
“… … Korea?”
At those words, Ha-jun narrowed his brow in an absurd way.
* * *
[Penalty is given to the changed future.]
[The difficulty of the episode increases.]
Ignoring the system notification window that came to mind when he finished speaking, Ha-jun focused on Kim Hong-wan’s next words.
Listening to Kim Hong-wan, I could see that the future of this episode has also changed as the system notification window showed.
This is what Kim Hong-wan said.
Currently, the villain Sandman is considered a disaster in Japan.
This one is for that lil chicken owl
Naturally, it has awakened a power that cannot be compared with the past, and the risk is also identified as an S-grade unchained. But the problem was the terror he committed.
“Did you build your own house?”
“Yes that’s right.”
It was Kim Hong-wan, who politely handed me a picture with those words.
In the photo, a huge castle made of some dirt or sand was pictured.
As you can see, this madman destroyed an apartment building and caused huge casualties, and then built his own house in the form of a castle made of dirt or sand.
The reason why the Japan Hero Association was unable to respond even though they managed to make one of their own strongholds and commit terrorism was, of course, because there was no way to kill him.
“Considering his ability to manipulate sand and dirt, it would be suicidal to enter his stronghold, no matter how superlative a hero may be.”
“So this is your chance to get out of the house?”
“That’s right.”
But, I don’t know why, but it was that he suddenly left his hometown and came into Korea defenseless. So, at least now the Japanese association will think of it as an opportunity.
However, Hajun had a different idea apart from that.
‘Have you built your own house with your powers?’
Should I call it a castle rather than a house?
Anyway, after hearing this, Ha-jun could see that a big change had definitely taken place.
His powers had grown to the point where it was unusually strong.
In the game, at least it wasn’t up to the level of making elaborate structures like the photos with sand or dirt. And he wasn’t even able to handle this amount of sand.
“Where is he now?”
“I am in Busan. The exact location is still under investigation.”
With those words, Kim Hong-wan looked at the agent behind him, and the agent reached out and started to open the gate.
“Now, let me guide you to the meeting point. The Japanese side will also be waiting for the cadets.”
* * *
The meeting took place in a hotel room in Busan.
As soon as he came to the meeting point as if to inform the urgency of the situation, he exchanged brief greetings with the top Japanese heroes and immediately entered the operation meeting.
“nice to meet you. Nanase Yukio is the team leader for this operation.”
A woman with sharp eyes and long silky hair.
Said a woman named Nanase Yukio, the top Japanese hero who was the leader of the Sandman subjugation operation this time. She was one of the few heroes of Japan who faced the Sandman.
In the process, he was also a person who understood Sandman’s weaknesses.
After a brief self-introduction, she immediately started briefing about the operation.
As his nickname is Sandman, he is a superman who handles sand and soil, so he started explaining the strategy to counter and offset it.
“My ability is Freeze. In the past, like Lenka, when we got together with him, the sand itself was frozen to incapacitate it. Of course, he turned parts of his body back into sand and ran away.”
For reference, a woman with short brown hair called Lenka was also a top-notch Japanese hero like her. Her real name is Shizumiya Renka, and her ability is water-manipulating.
“It’s nice to see you, senpai. There’s a chance I’m going to kill him.”
“Yeah, I must kill you this time.”
With those words, it was Yukio’s sharp eyes and sharp teeth.
By the way, Ha-jun knew why she was so angry.
From the memory of the episode, the two of them tried to catch the Sandman in the recent apartment terrorist incident, but failed and suffered serious casualties.
“Did you know where he was?”
At that time, Si-young Han politely raised her hand and asked.
For reference, he was wearing a translation magic tool similar to Ha-jun in his ear, so he was able to talk.
To that question, Yukio immediately answered.
“I have a friend who played Sandman together with Lenka. I can’t come now because I’m seriously injured. The ability he has bloomed is ‘gravity’, so you can pinpoint the location by marking him with the suit he was wearing.”
It was Yukio who showed a piece of torn clothes with those words.
The piece of clothing in her hand was moving little by little in one direction.
“Okay then, let’s proceed with the briefing.”
With those words, she continued explaining the operation again.
“I’m going to use this piece of clothing to track down his location, then carefully select a location and conduct the raid. Don’t worry, there’s a hero who is accustomed to following him, and he’s being pursued.”
The operation itself was not very different from the operation carried out in the game.
First of all, since his ability is his ability, he was planning to attack after carefully selecting a place to surprise him. The attack itself would be impossible if there were a mountain or a nearby sandy beach nearby.
“Even if there is very little dirt or sand around, if it’s me and Renka’s abilities, I can disable their abilities for a while. We’ll take that into consideration, so don’t worry too much.”
As she said, considering the ability of the two with water and freezing abilities, the Sandman whose body is made of sand can be incapacitated for a while. And as if this was an important point, she looked at Han Si-young and said.
“At that time, Han Si-young will come out.”
It was Yukio who looked at Han Si-young with those words.
However, Si-Young Han seemed to ponder whether there was something to be worried about for a while.
“Are there any problems?”
“I’m not used to activating abilities yet. It may take a little while.”
It’s not that she can’t activate the ability of the ability ‘Stigmata’, but Si-Young Han wasn’t familiar with the ability yet.
Well, it’s only natural that it’s only been a week since I first awakened my abilities.
“That’s okay, isn’t it that it can’t be activated at all?”
“It takes time, but it can be activated.”
“Yeah, that’s enough. Now then… … .”
With those words, Yukio moved his gaze to Hajun.
It was the same with Renka.
They were looking at Ha-jun with unexpectedly anticipatory expressions.
“Are you Kim Ha-jun? I’ve heard a lot about it.”
“Do you know me?”
“The name Kim Ha-jun is famous in Japan. But I didn’t know you could see the real thing like this, or participate in this operation, did you? Do you have any questions?”
At those words, Ha-jun thought about something and opened his mouth honestly.
“Will this be the number of people?”
