Dark War (5)
The chairperson greeted me as I walked out.
“Hey.”
“Yes.”
“This is the team I’m moving with. The rest will join later.”
The chairperson pointed to the man and woman standing together.
They are people I already know.
Guest instructors belonging to Secretto that were dispatched to the academy by the Management Bureau to teach cooperative combat the other day.
I remember saying hello when I was a freshman at Secretto that I was educated and that I used the educational materials to educate the faculty.
I think the call sign was Tricky Mist for the man and Mashalatz for the woman.
“Yes, that’s right. You remember us.”
Masharatsu, that is to say, the woman smiled and asked me to shake her hand.
Judging by the fact that his palms and backs of his hands were covered with calluses and his call sign, he seemed to be a hero specialized in close combat like Professor Yoo Hyun-joo.
“Then let’s go.”
A large black van was waiting outside the house.
This method is mainly used when clearing the aura and moving to the operation area.
Secretto reveals his aura during missions and uses his abilities less than 20 percent of the time.
This is because most of them stealthily infiltrate and kill rats without even knowing it at the crucial moment.
However, in some cases, they openly maneuver as a group and attack equivalent to bombing, but this operation had a strong ‘assassination’ character, so it seemed that they were moving by vehicle.
In the moving vehicle, the two agents did not have much conversation.
However, Masharatsu looked like he was about to say something while glancing at me.
However, the chairperson was holding on, so he was unable to open his mouth.
We headed to the airbase outside the city.
In addition to military aircraft, there are transport planes independently operated by Secreto.
Looking out the window, I saw the transport plane on the runway waiting for takeoff.
I remember riding there a few times when I was deployed to a certain conflict area in the past.
As if cooperation had been made in advance, no one blocked the vehicle at the air base, and thanks to that, I was able to disembark right next to the transport plane.
The advisory chairman, who got out of the car, said.
“The details of the operation will be briefed separately by the team leader in the transport plane.”
“Okay.”
“Then good luck.”
Then the advisory chairman pulled me by the shoulder and whispered lowly.
“If you are in danger, run away. It is difficult to die from overdoing it.”
“I will.”
The chairman patted me on the shoulder a few times before getting into the car.
After seeing the van leave, I boarded the transport plane with Tricky Mist and Mashalatz.
In the transporter, three heroes in suits were sitting first.
“Hello, senior.”
As soon as I went inside, all the heroes got up from their seats and bowed down.
“Nice to meet you.”
“Sit down for now. After takeoff, we’ll change into suits and give a briefing on operations.”
After the transport plane took off and reached a certain altitude, I moved to the rear compartment and changed clothes.
In the compartment, the newest suit I’ve never seen was hung.
It’s a matte and fairly hard-looking suit. If my predictions are correct, the main raw material would be a superalloy pulled out like a thread.
I heard that the experiment was successful, but is the prototype already out?
When I took off my clothes and changed into a suit, what was a bit baggy gradually tightened to fit my body.

This is so…. The world is better
After equipping myself with various combat aids, I felt as if I had gone back to my active duty days.
When I went outside, Tricky Mist introduced himself as the team leader and got up and started briefing on the operation.
The team’s mission is to assassinate an unknown villain.
The last location where he was recaptured is the mountainous area where the borders of China, India and Pakistan face each other.
The coordinates were shared as combat aids on everyone’s wrists, and the bearing and location were displayed until the target was removed.
The main ability of a gnome is poisonous gas that forms like a cloud. Here are some ways to overcome it.
A set of respirators, first coated with Gambrinite.
It is to wear a gas mask connected to an oxygen cylinder carried on the back. Although the field of view and range of activity are limited, it is essential to increase the survival rate.
The second option is a supporter who is highly proficient in airflow dynamics.
“I will help you, senpai.”
The hero bowed slightly and greeted me.
When the villain spreads poison gas, it creates an air current and scatters it so that it does not interfere with the battle.
The third option was the Tricky Mist himself.
As expected, his abilities are fog and rain.
The strategy was to remove the gas by making it rain or fog full of moisture.
And the fourth and final plan.
“I heard that none of the current and former heroes can follow you in terms of defense technology.”
“You mean to put up a shield?”
“Yes. To be honest, we can’t guarantee that the Gambrinite coating will be able to withstand the miasma. And in the case of aerodynamics or mist, the density of the gas is heavier or the villain is a gas.” If the production period is short, it is almost useless. Besides, the operation area is not very humid, so it is difficult to spray rain. You have a better chance of completing the mission if you mobilize even the senior’s defense.”
“So you’re saying that if I hadn’t told you I’d be part of the operation, I’d have been halfway unprotected?”
At that, the heroes looked at each other without saying anything.
I could feel something in those eyes.
Originally, it started with a large group of ten people, but it was said that it was cut in half with five people.
If so, it is only natural that the means available for the operation would have been reduced by half compared to the initial plan.
That’s what the deputy director did.
It’s not that I don’t understand.
It has nothing to do with Secreto, and the death of the senior couple is just one of many failed missions.
I wouldn’t have wanted to do the wasteful thing of putting in ten precious heroes.
Tricky Mist then briefed on cooperative combat in earnest.
Then, I randomly singled out the team members one by one and asked questions, but the answers came out automatically, probably because everyone had already played wargames.
There was nothing particularly special about the cooperative battle.
First, the scouting team figures out the guy’s location and lures it in, then the Tricky Mist and Airflow Dynamics supporters create the conditions before the dealers attack.
What was a bit surprising was the presence of a tanker who blocked all attacks from the front.
Masharatsu, who specializes in close combat, is a tanker role.
“Of course, the first plan is to tie him up and have the ranged dealers attack and kill him. But if that fails, we will have no choice but to go to a dogfight, so a tanker is essential.”
So that’s one tank, two damage dealers, and three supporters.
Melee tankers, air flow mechanics, mist and shield supporters, and dealers specializing in ranged attacks.
A combination like this isn’t bad.
Although the deputy director objected in the middle, it seems that the chairman made thorough preparations in his own way.
After the briefing, I looked at the sea of clouds spreading outside the window and was lost in thought.
I can finally get my revenge.
With a powerful team that can grind most villains out of shape.
If I kill him, I will be able to throw off everything and finally be free.
And it will go back to the children.
To my lovely disciples.

“Everyone wake up!”
Tricky Mist shouted just as the snow-capped mountains below the window looked like a sandy bottom.
“Senior. We have arrived at the operation area. We will infiltrate at high altitude.”
Masharats, who was sitting behind me, explained the situation.
Soon the rear of the transport slowly opened and a very powerful gust of wind blew.
All six team members, myself included, walked to the open hatch and stood side by side.
Tricky Mist, who went all the way to the end of the hatch and looked at the situation, gave a hand signal, and the team members rushed forward one after another and threw themselves out of the hatch.
As soon as I took my foot out of the hatch, my body began a free fall with terrifying momentum.
Below, I could see the team members who had descended first, activating their auras and flying in a trajectory.
[Report power failure!]
Tricky Mist’s radio reported the biological reactions of the team members in turn, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with everyone, he gave the following instructions.
We attempted to land by slowly lowering our altitude towards the pre-determined coordinates.
So far, no signs or threats have been detected, and all four team members were able to land midway through the promised peak.
The two non-landing heroes passed over our heads and continued forward.
The place they are heading to is the last place he was found.
Two scouting teams go ahead and catch him, and the rest of the team rushes in at once.
“It would be nice if he came out to the open field. Due to the nature of his ability, we are at a disadvantage if we fight in a confined space.”
At that time, the radio came over from the scouting team.
[Obtain the goal in the gorge. Sending coordinates.]
As the combat aids on the wrist vibrated, the very detailed coordinates of the 12 steps floated.
At this level, it is sufficiently identifiable with the naked eye.
“If the coordinates are clear like this, it would be better to send in the dealers and prepare for the attack.”
Treechymist gave several instructions to his teammates waiting by his side.
Soon, the two heroes who acted as dealers exploded their auras and ascended vertically.
Soaring to the peak, the two heroes quickly changed direction and maneuvered over the canyon.
“Team leader, tell them to stop. If you go up the canyon, you may be intercepted.”
In my restraints, the team leader carefully looked ahead and shook his head.
“We have to go further due to the terrain conditions.”
“Then tell them to stop and wait now. I will follow and support them.”
“Is it really necessary?”
“Because you never know.”
However, while we were having that brief conversation, the dealers had already reached the pincers and started preparing for the attack.
Hundreds of phaser beams began pouring down from the body of one of the two.
The other broomed the gorge with a blue, straight beam, presumed to be an eyelace.
A series of temporarily blinding flashes and explosions filled the canyon.
That’s more like a strategic bomber than a ranged dealer.
As I watched as the house-sized rocks on the left and right sides of the gorge were smashed and rolled down, creating a dust storm, I felt something strange.
“Dealers retreat!”
“Yes?”
“Exclude the dealers!”
As soon as he activated his aura to take off immediately, Tricky Mist placed his hand on the transmitter on his neck to radio.
At that moment, lightning shot up from the canyon upside down.
Two heroes who were hit directly by lightning turned to ashes and scattered in the air.
