– Team leader, the battle suit installation is complete.
– Good reception. Let’s start after a 5 second countdown. 5, 4…
Lee Min-seong, who received the radio, counted all the numbers and immediately stretched out his right leg.
Then, the battle suit that wraps around her body moves along and emits a roar.
Like the prototype, the mobility and reaction speed were significantly improved, and the power conversion rate and system stability were improved.
‘Seo Hyun-woo has copied the power of the Ganghwa system again this time. Reinforcement-type abilities can achieve the most reasonable and clear results, but they are too mediocre. From the next test, I’ll have to ask you to copy the other abilities.’
Lee Min-seong slowly adapted to the movement of the battle suit and stopped in front of Seo Hyun-woo.
Then, with his right hand, he directly opens the face of the helmet to reveal his face.
Because of the thickness and size of the battle suit, he had no choice but to look down at Seo Hyun-woo.
“I wish you all the best this time.”
“Is this battle suit a prototype?”
“…how do you know that?”
“It feels different. Ummm… what should I say? It seems that the level of completion is quite high, unlike the last one.”
Seo Hyun-woo gives a plausible excuse and examines the appearance of the battle suit in detail.
Because it is a prototype model, it hasn’t been properly painted yet, but I thought the alloy armor might have gotten thicker.
In addition, the movement of the battle suit became more natural, and the blue light at the center became brighter, so it could be seen that the efficiency of the power source was further improved.
“You have a great eye. I didn’t expect you to notice it just by looking at it.”
“If it’s a prototype, it’s probably stronger and more durable than the previous model. The official product will be released within a year.”
“That’s great. For a moment, I wondered if he wasn’t part of our team. You know a lot.”
“I think I should be a little nervous. It won’t end as easily as last time.”
Seo Hyun-woo gently floats the prototype battle suit and immediately retreats from his seat.
The most important thing in social life was to humble oneself and elevate others.
In reality, a prototype battle suit can be easily defeated, but shouldn’t you have to pretend to use your strength?
“Hmm… well. I’d like to say I’ll stick with the 99% chance, but now the 1% chance seems to be higher.”
Lee Min-seong closes the helmet’s face and maximizes the power.
Then, the faint mechanical sound that was heard slowly turned into a rough roar.
At the same time, the blue light in the center flashes more intensely and spreads to each part along the line.
‘I can hold out for a few minutes though. It’s something that’s been made through dozens or hundreds of tests. I mean, they didn’t give it the name “Prototype” for nothing.’
All test models until the original product is manufactured are treated as prototypes.
However, the Ministry of Immigration did not like the test models and did not even give them the name of a prototype.
It was only now that a model that looked a little better was made, so it was decided as the first and last prototype.
“We will start with the power test in the same way as last time. If you don’t pass this, you don’t even need to take any other tests.”
Lee Min-seong let out a heavily modulated voice and began to slowly take one step at a time.
Clearly, the performance of the battle suit was further improved, and it would not go down as easily as the previous model.
Nevertheless, I had no choice but to be a little anxious, and I thought that I would naturally become wary of Seo Hyun-woo.
‘… I still have a long way to go. It’s an approved prototype model. I’ve worked so hard, but there’s no way I can’t get results.’
Lee Min-seong is belatedly believing and slowly clenching his fists.
This battle suit contained his life, efforts, and aspirations.
Just because it collapsed a few times does not mean that the process and time disappear.
In the future, starting with the prototype model, battle suits with better performance would continue to be made.
Woo-woong Wi, Ji-ying…
thud! Zuz…
An alloy fist filled with magical power collides with Seo Hyun-woo’s fist.

Moreover, unlike the previous test, it was not pushed out and did not stop working.It was just that the magical energy contained in each other’s fists continued to alternate, creating a blue halo.
‘done! finally made it through Now we just have to keep it like this for a few more minutes.’
Lee Min-seong first lifts his fist and stretches out his right leg as hard as he can.
Then, along with a loud roar, a heavy kick comes in aiming at Seo Hyun-woo.
Seo Hyun-woo also shows a little interest and counterattacks with a kick that contains magical power.
Coogong, Zu-Woong…
‘for a moment. This sound…’
Lee Min-seong hears a familiar shock sound and feels his body shake.
The battle suit was no longer moving according to his will.
Aren’t the bodies that were collapsing there now are moving backwards?
‘okay. I thought this I wanted something to work out. There’s also a 1% chance that I couldn’t hold on for even 10 seconds. Oh, I hate number 1 so much.’

‘… I was wondering if this is the case in the end.’
Seo Hyun-woo shakes his head as he watches the development team dismantle the battle suit.
The power was sufficiently controlled, and the magic power was also compared with the amount emitted by the battle suit, and it was not matched.
Therefore, the first attack ended without problems, and the next movement was quickly moved on.
‘This time it stopped working with one kick. Is it possible to do something after the official product is released?’
Seo Hyun-woo quickly draws a conclusion and drinks a bottle of water.
After the battle suit is produced as an official product, it will have performance that cannot even be compared with the prototype.
Based on the hunter grade, it was blue hunter-class at best, and from a high point of view, it should be considered close to the green hunter-class.
‘If the version is upgraded, Lee Min-seong will naturally be promoted to Setinos Hunter. Besides, in order to properly use the battle suits that are not for sale, you have to get help from the artificial intelligence system.’
Awoken and civilians could only use battle suits for sale.
The AI system only obeyed the orders of the Ministry of Immigration and was indirectly connected to the spirit of the Ministry of Immigration.
In other words, other battle suits were only worn by Immigration.
‘At least, the original Seo Hyun-woo must have made the prototype battle suit out of scrap metal. It was probably so strong that it wouldn’t make sense to control the power.’
If I had to ask for responsibility, I would be divided into one of two things.
Either the prototype battle suit is too crude, or Seo Hyun-woo is unreasonably strong.
However, as it was expected to some extent, there was no particular feeling of regret.
‘Performance tests are pretty good. Because there’s something else that’s really important. If you do it now, you can easily deal with Rebellion later.’
Seo Hyun-woo began to think over and over again and choose information to give to Lee Min-seong.
It had to be information that could keep Rebellion in check without affecting the future of immigration.
Of course, if the performance improvement of the battle suit was a little faster, you wouldn’t have to worry too much.
‘There are a lot of things I can receive from Lee Min-seong. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to ask for shares in the Hanhon industry, or to get help whenever you need it. Manastone processing, which is the main business of the Hanhon industry, or being provided with expensive manastone equipment…’
The battle suit was disbanded sooner than expected, and Lee Min-seong was revealed in it.
As soon as Lee Min-seong comes out of the battle suit, he immediately turns his back.
Looking at the droopy battle suit, I thought the first thing I thought was that it was complicated and futile.
“Chief, can you spare a moment for me?”
“…Oh, can you wait a minute?”
After hearing Seo Hyun-woo’s voice, Lee Min-seong wakes up late and gives instructions to the team members.
However, Seo Hyun-woo has no sympathy and waits for Lee Min-seong to arrive.
‘Frustration and loss make people suffer, but they also serve as an opportunity for further growth. Maybe I was the trigger for Lee Min-seong. Shall we advance the production time of the official product first?’
As soon as Seo Hyun-woo leaves the test room with Lee Min-sung, he goes straight into the nearby lounge.
Because it was business hours, no one could be found inside the break room.
The two sit in their empty seats and face each other.
“Team leader, from now on, only the team leader should know what I am saying.”
“Yes? What do you mean?”
“In the future, we must not hand over battlesuit-related materials to the development team. The more people you know, the more information will inevitably leak.
Seo Hyun-woo had no intention of catching the members of Rebellion who were hiding in the development team.
This was because Rebellion had to know the blueprints and manufacturing process of the battle suit for the contents to flow as set.
However, he wanted to weaken the power of Rebellion somehow, so he wanted to hand over only the data of the prototype, not the data of the official product.
“And there are some problems with the prototype battle suit.”
“…?”
Lee Min-sung tilts his head, but doesn’t say anything.
He wouldn’t say something like that for no reason.
Above all, the prototype battle suit was created due to the performance test with Seo Hyun-woo, so we can’t just ignore it.
“I understand why you are trying to increase the power, but it increases the amount of horsepower and the probability of overloading is high. In particular, the prototype weighs quite a bit, so the power efficiency is not good. You must have taken the safety of your users seriously, but then you won’t be able to use the battle suit for more than an hour.”
“…I will take a look.”
“I know that alloy gloves also have gaps at each joint. If this gap is attacked, the user will be seriously injured immediately. Besides this…”
Lee Min-sung sympathizes with Seo Hyun-woo’s words, but has doubts.
I knew all too well about the problems of the prototype, and solutions were coming out little by little.

Moreover, as the conversation continued, the expert himself became embarrassed.“I will say one last time. Only the team leader should know what I said. But whether or not to follow my advice is entirely up to you. There will be no harm done, so please do as I say.”
“…Is there anything else I need to take care of?”
From an expert’s point of view, Seo Hyun-woo’s advice was simple yet effective.
It was almost as if he had done research on the battle suit.
But since there was no way I could tell them about it without paying anything, I had to ask in advance.
“It’s my first deal, so I’m going to get paid for having faith in me. But if you don’t do what I say and you lose money, the cost of your next transaction will go up.”
Seo Hyun-woo answered with a very serious expression on his face.
It was a kind of warning and meant that you must believe what you said.
Of course, it didn’t matter if I didn’t believe in myself and proceeded as I always did.
There were still many ways to check Rebellion, and no matter what the outcome was, he was able to prove that he was right.
“Is this your first deal? So do you have any other information you can give me?”
“If you go back then, wouldn’t it come naturally to you? I know a lot, but I can’t force it.”
Lee Min-seong immediately understands the meaning of Seo Hyun-woo’s words and swallows the silence.
In short, it doesn’t matter what choice you make, but doesn’t it mean that your relationship can change?
‘Why are you so bold? Was there really anything? You can’t help but say it like that.’
