Episode 28 Common front (3)
Near the mall near the department store where Jaehyun was shopping.
We see Ahn Seok-gu and Ahn Ho-yeon in the middle of picking out things.
“This and this. And please give me that too.”
“Do I have to buy that many?”
As Ahn Seok-gu picked up various items, Ahn Ho-yeon asked with a worried face.
Recently, the family situation has not been good, but he is worried because he is spending all the money he earns on himself.
But Ahn Seok-gu just nodded as if it didn't matter.
“Everything goes under you. don't think it's worth it Anyway, this is all the money you will get back. As long as you become an S-class raider, this is ridiculous.”
“Nevertheless. My father is having a hard time because of me... Because my mother is having a hard time right now.”
“That is a matter for me to figure out. Don’t worry and train hard.”
Ahn Seok-gu said that, but he wasn't worried at all.
Ahn Ho-yeon sighed and lowered his head helplessly.
‘My father thinks of me as a tool. A tool that would be ruthlessly discarded if it did not become an S-class radar. Do I have to continue to live like this?'
I know I shouldn't think like that.
But there was no way I could do anything to keep my heart from getting weaker.
As soon as his father discovered that he had a talent as a raider, he immediately forced all sorts of training.
It was fine at first.
He is a ray of light in a family that was extremely poor.
My mother was also happy to know that Ahn Ho-yeon had the ability as a radar.
But not anymore.
I don't even remember why I wanted to become a raider.
I just train like a machine and live a repetitive daily life.
It's been a long time since I've already given up on lofty goals or values.
‘Now that I'm able to listen to people who compliment me with one ear and let it go with the other.'
How many more years of training and clashing swords will this life end?
Until the end of his life as a radar, Ahn Ho-yeon will not be able to escape this life.
So what is a radar anyway?
Those who simply hunt monsters and steal dungeon treasures?
no. all wrong
Radar is a job for humans to help humans.
The noble profession of helping those in need and saving lives.
But these days, people see Radar as an idol risking their lives.
I don't want to go into low-level dungeons that don't make money by appearing on TV laughing and talking.
Are those who are desperate only to make money really radar?
‘Know. Now I think I'm too young.'
Ahn Ho-yeon understood.
The principle that moves the world is not that simple.
There is nothing in this world that goes without money.
It was still the same even now that monsters had taken over this world.
“Father… I’m going to rest for a while. Yesterday's Dalian must have been a little tired.”
“okay. Don't go back soon. Wait near the station.”
“All right.”
Ahn Seok-gu nodded.
I yelled at my son yesterday, but anyway, a duel with a cadet who is about to graduate from Miles.
It was strange that I wasn't tired.
Ahn Ho-yeon bowed his head as he did to others and left the seat.
After passing through the shabby streets of the shopping district and turning a little inward, I saw a fountain.
‘Before my mom got sick, I used to come here often.'
Of course, the old days were more than 10 years ago from now.
before my mother went to bed.
At that time, Ahn Ho-yeon was still a fool.
“I was really happy back then.”
It was a word that came out of my heart without even realizing it.
In the past, he wasn't noticed by so many people, but he was happy.
But what about now?
“Look over there. Isn’t that person Ahn Ho-yeon?”
“Ah~ that martial arts genius?”
“You can see everything in a place like this.”
He has already adapted to the clicking sound of the camera, but he is already a monkey at the zoo. It became something worse than that.
He was evaluated not as an object of envy, but as a value of use.
‘I have to spend three years at Miles Academy. There must be a lot more difficult training than now. ...... Can I do well with this mindset?'
That time when I was worried and sighed.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
“Help me! Please... I'm fine with anyone, so please save me!”
“It's a monster! A monster has appeared!”
An Ho-yeon's whole body trembled.
Witch Beast. Did a demon appear in the middle of the city?
no way.
‘Dungeon break?'
A dungeon break is an explosion of a dungeon that has passed the period without being captured.
The seriousness may not be revealed by just describing it like this, but a dungeon with a dungeon break spews out the monsters inside it.
This area is a downtown area.
It is a place where there is an overwhelming majority of ordinary people.
‘It's taking quite a while for the national radars to arrive. Ordinary people in this area... should go immediately.'
If it was his father Ahn Seok-gu, he would have stopped it.
It's a fight with nothing to gain, and if you get hurt here, you won't be able to participate in the Milles Academy's entrance ceremony event a few days before.
But Ahn Ho-yeon did not want to avoid it.
I wanted to be recognized.
I wanted to be confirmed.
Why do you want to become a radar now?
Is your promise still valid as it was when you were young?
Tadat! Tadat!
About 2 minutes of straight running.
In the back alley leading to the downtown area, he encountered dozens of goblins surrounding him.
Dozens of red eyes with green skin and sharp fangs all looked back at An Ho-yeon.
Ahn Ho-yeon's heart sank.
‘What should I do?!'
At the same time, irregular words came out in a trembling voice without my knowledge.
“My body… doesn’t move…”
I wanted to confirm the value of my existence.
So I came here even though I knew it was dangerous.
But what the hell does it mean when your body doesn't move in such an emergency situation?
But Ahn Ho-yeon already knew the reason.
‘......afraid.'
His body was frozen in fear.
He had been sparring with numerous academy cadets, but this was the first time he had actually seen a monster.
It's a weird situation that isn't scary.
But up until this point, of course, he was unexpected.
It was a very sudden situation and I thought that I could do it.
If it was a low level monster, I thought that I could solve it alone, without even realizing it.
Gureuk?
But that expectation was completely wrong.
The immovable leg was the clear evidence.
Ahn Ho-yeon trembled.
Several goblins met his eyes and started running towards him.
Legs that were terrified even otherwise.
Ahn Ho-yeon shivered and tried to move somehow.
‘in action! Please... move!'
Toward myself who is terrified and unable to move.
He saw a goblin swinging a sword in his hand.
Ahn Ho-yeon managed to move, but only pulled his leg back a little.
At the same time, along with a small sigh, a voice mixed with despair came out.
“......shit.”
Finally, when the goblin was about to attack him, revealing his red-stained tooth.
Slap!
At the same time as the strong blow, I saw a man's figure fluttering.
The face of a man with thick lines, who was handsome enough to match his own.
Ahn Ho-yeon's pupils widened.
A boy who saved himself.
He was about half a hand shorter than himself and looked fragile, fighting monsters alone.
* * *
‘That's the 《Chain of Lightning》?! What the hell is going on?'
Ahn Ho-yeon couldn't believe it at all.
In general, when such a dungeon break occurs, non-fighting radars are prioritized rather than magic.
Because it is difficult to cast quickly in the magic world, it is difficult to quickly defeat the beast, and its power is drastically reduced if many people do not gather.
But what is that man in front of me?
Despite being a magician, he is casting at an overwhelming speed and wiping out monsters.
A boy who seemed only his own age had done that.
‘Of course, magic is stronger than martial arts in terms of simple power. However, the casting always held back in an urgent battle situation. But that person... has almost no casting delay. Is this really possible?'
charrrrrrr!
The chain containing electricity floating around the boy, Jaehyun, exploded one after another in the surrounding monsters.
The goblin's head explodes one after another with a grotesque sound.
It took about 1 minute to lightly organize the area.
Jaehyun said as he walked towards Ahn Hoyeon without lowering his guard.
“Ding. Now that the ice is over, you can help me too.”
“......you are?”
“Now is not the time for that. Are you a combative Awakener? I need your help.”
At Jaehyun’s words, Ahn Hoyeon pondered for a moment.
How could he be of any help to such a strong boy?
However, his answer that followed was enough to move Ahn Ho-yeon.
“It's hard for me to kill all the goblins by myself. You need the 《Taunt》 skill.”
Immediately nodding his head, Ahn Ho-yeon, standing behind Jae-hyun, gathered his mana.
No matter how strong the representation is, it is not that the back of the head has eyes.
If we miss a few goblins here, the whole area will immediately become bloody.
He had thought this far and asked himself to use the ?Provocation? skill.
Then there was no reason to hesitate.
The reason he came here is also to prevent the sacrifice of innocent people.
Ahn Ho-yeon looked at Jae-hyun and nodded.
“If I can help.”
―Active skill 《Cry of Provocation》 is activated.
―A monster with a radius of 50m is watching you.
―Physical/magical attack damage is reduced by 30%.
With the activation of the skill, red energy began to surround An Ho-yeon's body.
Jaehyun smiled as he watched Hoyeon Ahn activate the skill.
‘It's also Ahn Ho-yeon. Martial arts talent is definitely born.'
An Ho-yeon immediately raised her magic power and activated the 《Cry of Provocation》.
A skill that focuses monsters within a radius of 50 meters on you.
Jaehyun carefully inspected the enemy's approaching movement.
“Remember. You must never send these guys to the plaza.”
“yes!”
Ahn Ho-yeon's face, which had been frightened a moment ago, was completely confident.
His legs were still trembling in a cold sweat, but his posture was quite good.
I guess that's the talent.
Jaehyun suddenly realized how lucky this world is.
Those who have nothing become poorer, and those who have a lot increase their value even more.
This is the life of mankind after the rise of Yggdrasil and the rampage of monsters.
And he was the one who received the attention of God, the peak of his luck.
“Then go!”
Hearing Jaehyun's voice, Ahn Hoyeon quickly took out a shield from his inventory and equipped it.
‘okay. This is the radar. All I have to do is save people.'
It was the moment when Ahn Ho-yeon's drooping face shone brightly for the first time.
