144 – Guard-3
“Before sparring, I’ll talk to Cheon-ah for a moment.”
I dragged the heavenly horse and went to the corner.
The Heavenly Demon nodded as she stomped her feet, meaning to put up a barrier so that no one else could hear.
“You’re not really going to fight are you?”
“I’ve already nailed the fight, but what if I don’t fight? Of course I will fight.”
“No matter how much mana and physical abilities are reduced, it’s a game that you win unconditionally.”
“I asked for a duel because it’s a game I won. Do you think I asked for a fight to lose? And that bitch! You looked at Ahae with a sly expression!”
I was angry about that too.
“Excuse me. The insidious thing is that you’re the most sleazy, right?”
“I’m in a relationship with Ahae, so it doesn’t matter if I’m insidious. Rather, I have to be insidious.”
I’m really good at talking.
“But that bitch has nothing to do with Ahae. Even today, I’m seeing her for the first time, and seeing her expression like that, she must be a pervert! Thinking that such a pervert wanted to touch Ahae and came to sparring with her makes me angry!”
“So… are you going to smash it at all?”
“I want to kill her, but Ha-yeon’s face is saved, and it’s obvious that things won’t go well if she kills people here, so I’ll end it with her stepping on it properly.”
“Ha…don’t be too harsh.”
“I get it.”
I thought the Heavenly Demon had a tolerant personality, but he also turns a blind eye to things related to me, right?
‘Does it mean that they look after Yeonha, Hayeon, Wolha, and even Liuying?’
First of all, I took the heavenly horse and moved to the center of the training ground again.
“By the way, what’s the relationship between the two of you?”
“It’s motivation. We’re pretty close.”
Dalian started right away and ended right away.
The Heavenly Demon took the woman’s attack very easily and knocked her down with the best mana efficiency.
“…is he a rookie?”
“It’s been quite a while since I awakened. I’m new to the guard, so I’m right.”
Park Ji-Hyun’s mouth gaped open.
Obviously, they had similar physical abilities and similar mana, but the woman suffered a crushing defeat without even using her hands.
“Hey, this is a super rookie, right?
“I’ll go back to solo after I’ve grown up properly.”
“ah…”
At Yuna’s one word, Park Ji-hyeon slumped.
“Doesn’t it make you feel bad thinking that you’re going to be taken away by another city after you’ve worked so hard to raise them?”
“You belong to Sol in the first place, so why are you so greedy…”
“The kids below sometimes go on vacation, but high-Awakeners like us don’t even have vacations because they don’t have replacements! Why are they greedy for vacations!”
“There’s no guarantee that that person will come into the gate management department. It’s still a probationary period…”
I had nothing to say, so I kept my mouth shut.
“Then I’ll tell you the basics first… Who is the most laid-back person?”
“It’s Ji-hyeon. The high-level gate didn’t explode right away, and the low-level gate popped frequently, while the high-level gate had a low rate of occurrence, right? better.”
“I don’t know how to train like FM…”
“Fighting!”
Yuna-san raised her right hand and shook it once.
“Does anyone have any questions for the newcomers?”
A woman raised her hand.
“What question?”
“Lee Go-yang, what is your ideal type?”
I could feel the Heavenly Demon’s heat slowly rising.
“It would be nice if the grade was S, and I would like to be over 185 tall.
“Hey, you’re not.”
“Cabi.”
It seemed that the condition was so absurd that it was accepted as a simple joke, but I was merely adopting the characteristics of the Heavenly Demon to appease the Heavenly Demon in my own way.
As if it had actually worked, the anger seemed to have lessened and a slight smile appeared.
“Aren’t the conditions too strict? If that’s the case, even our captain won’t enter. To be honest, isn’t it normal to go out with an S-class Awakener asking to date? What are you so picky about?”
Jihyun Choi asked in a playful tone.
‘It’s normal to go out with an S-class Awakener right away…’
He thought of Lee Soo-ah, who was still neglected in Mir and had not been visited.
It’s hard to bond with him.
“It means I don’t want to go out with anyone. For now, I want to focus on improving my skills and learning my guard job.”
“The ambition is good, but it’s not fun. Does anyone have more questions?”
“What is Ma Cheon-ah’s ideal type?”
This time the question came from the male side.
“No. To be precise, a childhood friend is my ideal type, but unfortunately I don’t have a childhood friend.”
Are these words aimed at me?
“What’s your ideal type outwardly?”
“There’s no such thing. If you fall in love with someone, shouldn’t you always tell them the same love regardless of their appearance?”
‘But why can’t they grow bigger!’
“Oh, Ma Cheon-ah, you’re more romantic than I thought, right?”
Yuna smiled softly and said.
“I’m not a romantic. I think that if you really love someone, you should do that.”
“A person dating Ma Cheon-ah must be very happy.”
Cheonma-ya, take good care of your lips. If you raise the corners of your mouth here, you will break the atmosphere.
“Then, shall we disband soon and go to work?
“Okay, everyone, go in. When the gate explodes, we’ll dispatch ourselves.”
Disbanded in an instant, and everyone went back to their seats.
“Ugh, things like education are a mess… I’ll start with the most basic stuff. Physically, I’ve seen them more complete than our guards, so I won’t train them separately. So, instead of moving your body, you’ll memorize boring things. You just have to repeat it. Sit down for now.”
Jihyun Choi first sat down on the floor.
“What do you think the gate management department is doing?”
“Isn’t it a place to control the gate and block monsters when a gate occurs?”
“That’s right, by definition, the work I do isn’t too different from what you said. It’s just blocking the gate. But, I introduced several procedures to increase efficiency.”
Contrary to Um-sal, who said that he was not good at explaining, her words were very listenable.
There was also a way of talking that caught my mind, and my words were not in vain.
“Do you guys know how long it takes for the gate to occur and the monster to spit out?”
“I learned that it’s 30 minutes.”
“Yes, 30 minutes. The first stage begins within 15 minutes when you receive a report that the gate has been created. It is one of the many necessary steps to block the gate. In most gates, weak monsters come out first, so even a small number of keepers can be enough to block it. After some time, when the monsters inside attack, professional disposal teams are dispatched, and originally, the professional disposal team blocked the gate from beginning to end. But since the manpower was too short, it was changed to keepers taking care of it in the beginning, you guys will probably try to be a keeper and a professional disposal team, but if you become a professional disposal team, you will probably end up in a bad mood. It’s hard to play an active part in an already formed team.”
“Isn’t that the same for the Keeper?”
“That’s right, but not as tight as the professional squad.”
After that, training on the gate processing stage continued.
How to deal with an abnormality in which strong monsters appear from the beginning, what steps are taken to enter the gate when a monster with high product value appears or a monster with a high risk is inside the gate, and what we do in it He explained in great detail what it would be like.
“I have been saying that variables are the most dangerous, but you will not have to deal with those variables.
“Yes!”
“I get it.”
“And Macheon, I have something to tell you.”
“Something?”
“When working in the gate handling department, I only want you to use the power of a normal Class A Awakener. I know you use your body and mana amazingly well, but without those restrictions, I don’t think there’s any danger to you, unless it’s a really dangerous moment. limit.”
“Is there any reason why you should?”
“I think it’s exercising with sandbags on. Considering your level, I don’t think there will be any crisis situation during the probationary period, but you don’t know what kind of crisis will hit you… I think you’re developing your crisis management skills in advance. During the probationary period, hide your powers like I said.”
“I get it.”
When I first saw him, I thought he was a playful and light-hearted person, but when he’s serious, he’s very serious.
‘Well, it’s not like he’s serving as the deputy chief of the gate handling department for nothing.’
When my gaze at Park Ji-hyun changed, the Heavenly Demon pinched my thigh.
‘Ouch!’
I glanced at the Heavenly Demon, but she was avoiding my gaze.
‘I can’t hit this…’
I swallowed the pain tightly.
