165 – Unclosing Gate-3
The meeting was held in a serious atmosphere.
Three hours passed quickly as we talked about how to conduct the exploration and what kind of people would form groups and move together.
“And, Lee Go-yang, who came out as a supporter from Sol this time.”
“Yes!”
Even in the midst of the meeting, I was able to not miss Ha-yeon’s voice calling me thanks to holding on tight.
“You move next to me. It’s the most suitable place for you, who has high attack power but low defense power.”
“All right!”
It was something that had been discussed beforehand.
Even if I went through the gate, Ha-yeon said that she would be right next to me to protect me, as if she wanted me to put safety first.
‘If there are no special variables, my name will no longer be called.’
Since I am an outsider and not someone else, I was in a situation where I formed a team with Hayeon, so there was no need for me to be mentioned.
The meeting ended before I knew it as I continued to listen to the words and behavior patterns of the request to everyone.
“We’ll be entering the gate at 9:00 tomorrow morning. Until then, all teams are expected to have their personal and hired equipment ready.”
“All right!”
Then he turned around and walked out of the conference room.
“Ugh! The meeting was really long.”
“I mean.”
Park Ji-hyun came to me and said.
“Are you moving next to the captain?”
“Yes, since I use a gun, I have enough attack power, but I can’t protect myself. Being next to the captain is the safest place, so it’s most efficient to assist the captain and others there as much as possible.”
“Do you have any personal equipment?”
“yes I have it.”
Even so, yesterday my younger sister approached the sister technician to make personal equipment. It was a wearable type of equipment, but it had a lot of storage space and had sufficient protection, so I was very satisfied with it.
“Did you get it from Sol?”
“I bought it as a priest.”
“How much money do you spend your personal money on?”
“It’s important. And my younger sisters make good money, so they bought it for me.”
“younger sister?”
Park Ji-hyun scanned my body.
“If you’re 17, your younger siblings are 16 or younger, but to have a lot of money at that age… it’s really amazing.”
“I think it’s great too.”
“Come on in, I have another meeting with my kids.”
“Yes, thank you for your hard work.”
After bowing and saying hello, I came out of the conference room.
As I trudged along, someone grabbed my shoulder and at the same time the view changed to my house.
“Do I have to forcefully move it like this?”
“It’s better than being caught watching a volunteer from Sol go into the underworld.”
When I looked behind me, Ha-yeon was looking down at me.
“I have to have a closing meeting with the Higher Awakeners. I think we should eat together with Wolha.”
“Are you going to be younger too?”
“Yes, my younger brother is also an A-class Awakener from our city. Of course we meet together.”
“Okay. Good job.”
I patted Ha-yeon on the arm to encourage her, and Ha-yeon smiled and disappeared.
‘The moon… I can’t see it.’
I went out early in the morning, saying that I would finish my work in advance because I had to be wary of S-class awakeners and monsters for a while.
It seemed that there was still a lot of work left to do, seeing as he hadn’t returned yet even though it would normally be time to return.
There is no younger age, no Ha-yeon, and no heavenly horse.
But since Liu Ying is there, let’s leave the mind to Hyeon-soo.
The moon did not return until the next day, and the hyeonsu occupied my body until the next night.
“Brother, wake up. I need to get ready soon.”
“Uh, okay.”
I woke up early in the morning, ate my last supper, and put on my personal gear.
It was a little heavy because there were so many things in it, but it wasn’t impossible to carry around.
“I’ll drop you off near the gate, so please come on foot from then on.”
“okay.”
It was early, not even 7:00 when we arrived near the gate.
It was two hours earlier than promised, but high-level Awakeners like Ha-yeon were all gathered, as if they had something to do.
That’s why I intervened in a serious and solemn atmosphere, so I just looked at the awakened people who were talking while leaning in an alley far away.
I came out at around 8 o’clock when the sun rose properly and other people started to appear, but the number of people who seemed few in the meeting room was gathered in one place, so it seemed more than I thought.
“Lee Go-yang, come to my side.”
“All right.”
I moved quickly and went to Ha-yeon’s side.
“You know what you have to do?”
“It is to kill B-class monsters using firearms.”
Although B-class monsters would not be annihilated in one shot by using bullets for B-class monsters, I was able to catch high-ranking monsters even as a non-awakened person because the overall power was strong.
‘A person with high aim usually plays the role I do.’

No matter who shoots the gun, there is almost no difference in power.
If you put mana in a bullet and shoot it, there will be a definite difference, but once you can pull the trigger well, no matter who shoots, the power is the same.
So, to find the best shooter, it was clear that I would not be a burden to Ha-yeon as I was confident that I had a lot of pistol shooting history and that I had my own skills.
“It’s enough to know. No matter what happens, don’t leave your younger brother’s side. You can get into a big fight just because you’re next to me.”
“Sister really… Do you think I don’t fight?”
“Who said you wouldn’t fight? But you’re an Awakener in the information field, right? It’s much better to gather information using your abilities than to fight. You’re probably farther away from the front line.”
“At the same time, oh… the minimum amount of power to protect the cat?”
I spoke with my voice as low as possible so that someone younger would hear me.
“That’s right. Originally, I was going to walk around with you next to me, but I thought it would be better if you were next to Lee Go-yang.”
“Leave it to me. Come at the cost of my life… I will definitely protect the cat.”
“I don’t even have to risk my life…”
It’s good to live together.
“Lee Goyang is right, as a result of exploring the entrance of the gate, the level of monsters inside this gate is not that high. It’s not good to generalize the whole by looking at only a few monsters, but at least you can walk around very safely for a few hours after starting. Will.”
As we huddled together in a corner and talked, people began to gather around the gate one by one.
“It’s getting close to departure time.”
“That’s right.”
“Aren’t you nervous, sister?”
“I’d be lying if I said no…”
Hayeoni said with a hard face.
“But, it’s something that has to be done. If it’s not us, no one else will do it for us.”
“… There is a Heavenly Demon Sister.”
“I don’t want to open my hands to the Heavenly Demon any more. No matter how close we are, from an urban perspective, we’re strangers.”
As the younger sister’s head drooped, Ha Yeon-yi hugged her and patted her.
“Don’t worry too much, we’ll all get out safely. And we’ll uncover the gate’s secret.”
I was worried that others would see me like that.
It was a very touching scene where the older sister relieves the younger brother’s tension, but Ha-yeon’s image as the head of the guard, who always has to show a solid appearance, could be shattered.
In particular, it bothered me even more because I had heard that he trained the guards in an authoritarian way after moving from Sol to our city.
“Are you a little less nervous now?”
“Yes, it’s unlocked.”
Ha-yeon patted her younger brother on the back for the last time and loosened her embrace.
And I looked at the guards, but no one noticed Ha-yeon’s gaze, probably because Ha-yeon used a special method.
“Whoa… is everyone gathered?”
The guards responded to the words of Ha Yeon-i, who returned with a solemn and serious tone.
“Team 1, we’re all here.”
“The two groups have all gathered.”
“Group 3, one hasn’t come yet.”
“Tell them to come quickly.”
“All 4 groups are here.”
It was not yet 8:20 as it was an important matter, but all but one member of the 3rd group had gathered.
He said he also went to get the broken consumables back, so it’s safe to say that everyone went to work 40 minutes early.
“I’ll ask. Are you afraid?”
“no!”
“Are you nervous?”
“no!”
A thunderous sound echoed nearby.
“We are writing a new history today. We will completely target a completely different gate.”
“All right!”
Is it because the training was good in the past? I don’t think he said much, but his morale went up significantly.
“Then, enter the gate from now on. I will be the first to step in, and let the younger enter last.”
“All right!”
Since we had a meeting yesterday, Ha-yeon started to enter the gate at high speed.
