chapter 24
Fallen Dragon Corpse (5)
I managed to manage the three crazy ones somehow.
I want to sit back and relax, but I have work to do.
When portable ventilation tools are installed around them, a wall of air is formed in the shape of a sphere.
Exhausted, Kana and Lee Jung-soo take off their gas masks.
“Isn’t it hard?”
“I think it’s going to be hard.”
There is so much to do.
It would be nice if there were porters who could take the place for me, but
In this world, there is no such thing as a porter to wipe the back of the cadets.
Sometimes when seniors in 4th grade join a large guild saying they are gaining internship experience,
It is said that sometimes he takes the juniors of the club he knows and uses them as porters.
They say that the reason for taking the juniors is to try terrain reconnaissance at least once.
Most of the reasons are just cheap.
Since the launch of the National Porters’ Union in the 2030s, porters have also acted like small PMCs.
The union has grown to the point where it collects money and gives beam weapons to those who enter the dungeon.
It was even said that by joining a union and paying money, it is safe to earn even a small amount of money.
Of course, the guild has a system in place that supports the capture team after hunting and takes care of the settlement.
There is no one who would do that to the academy’s cadets.
Namgoong-yeon’s family must have told you to solve what’s going on in the dungeon.
I let out a double bath and headed towards the middle of the Hekatoncheires.
“Are you planning on removing the cerebellum? It’s attached so tightly that it can’t be used with any tool…”
Fearing that Kana was about to speak, she fired a lever-action rifle loaded with armor-piercing rounds and removed the part holding the upper.
Then he took out his crowbar and removed the upper.
“What kind of tool?”
“Nope. Keep doing what you’re doing…”
With a crackling sound, I remove my brain.
A material that is quite expensive as a medicine.
Can’t miss this
I can’t get the value properly after time passes, so I’ll have to put it in the locker for now.
You can use it later to make a potion for doping.
In the medicinal herb market, if you have the energy, you can sell it to uncles who can’t use their legs, so you have to collect them now.
I have no idea how to eat this disgusting thing.
As I said before, the purification industry of the other world and modern society are now inextricably linked.
Many people now want to find peace, but they cannot return to the life they had before the gates were opened.
I grunted for another 30 minutes and put everything I could get into my bag.
Even Lee Jung-soo and Kana, who are a bit rested, take care of what they can gather.
And an explosive is attached to the heart to signify that the dungeon has been cleared.
“Let’s return.”
The fresh air would be so nice.
Anywhere you have to wear a gas mask is burdensome.
There is something to do when you return.
At the entrance of the gate, I take out my phone.
“Instructor Kiara, this is Team Leader Rahobin.”
“Report.”
“As of the present time, the fallen dragon corpse attack team is returning. Everyone is revived and mission accomplished.”
“Good work. Come back and see you.”
The team members would be in all kinds of joy, but fatigue didn’t even allow them to celebrate it.
He moved to the landing pad.
The booty was heavy and the landing site was far.
I feel like I want to take my arm off.
Besides, the thought of riding that helicopter gives me a headache.
But waiting in front of us is not the old hummingbird.
Streamlined, plump body,
The Sparrow is a high-end aircraft powered by horsepower that produces almost no noise or vibration.
Namgoongyeon says, seeing with a puzzled expression.
“get on.”
“uh?”
“How can you be a cadet like this…”
When Lee Jung-soo asks a question with his mouth open, Nam Goong-yeon gives a cool answer.
“I borrowed it from my brother.”
When we enter, as we saw last time, internal equipment with self-healing functions and equipment restoration functions awaits us.
Namgoongyeon pushes the swords into the restoration device and speaks with a sullen face.
“Did you say you were tired of hummingbirds? Tired?”
When the helicopter is finished, the exhausted team member collapses and begins to sleep.
But Namgoongyeon is still staring at me.
It’s embarrassing, and I don’t know why I’m looking at it that way.
I felt burdened by those burning eyes, so I pulled my hat and covered my face.
I am exhausted because I can’t stand it as I wear recovery magic in the midst of exhaustion.
But Namgoongyeon pulls the hat off and asks.
She was looking at me with a very remorseful expression on her face.
Within the narrow sparrow, she was almost riding on me.
“The end of training is an after-the-fact critique. Appreciate it as a team leader. how was i Was it great? Say you were a good dealer. hurry. you said earlier I want to hear it again. I told you I could be like your mother.”
A face full of memories. I think you can see how thirsty for recognition he is.
Naturally, you hear ‘I have increased my understanding.’
But now I can’t say anything positive about her.
“Criticism should be done in front of the instructor in charge. I can’t do it now. I’m resting for a while. You will be tired.”
It was only when her nose was almost touching and the tips of her noses touched that she realized the situation.
“Great.”
She struggled to turn her head and go to sleep.
*
Obviously expensive things are expensive.
I couldn’t even feel it shaking while I was sleeping.
It was clear that the team members who got off Sparrow, who had just arrived at the academy, had relieved a lot of the fatigue they had gained from the dungeon.
And instructor Kiara was waiting for us.
She hid her expression with her sunglasses, but she couldn’t hide the smile on her lips.
“Instructor. Rahobin and 3 other people returned safely.”
“Good work. Let’s go straight into the post-mortem critique.”
For the hunter’s crime prevention and dungeon restoration, the clothes have an automatic recording device.
In most guilds and academies, it is specified that they must be attached.
Instructor Kiara received all four videos and showed them one by one.
The instructor glanced at it quickly.
“Come on, don’t criticize. Let’s start with the team leader first.”
she looks at me and says
“Whether as a team leader or as a damage dealer, he showed an almost perfect performance. Sooner or later, I will apply and request for promotion to a D-class cadet. There must have been a mistake in the admissions office. There’s no way you’re F-class. It will provide an opportunity to take the D-class cadet promotion test.”
My gaze projected by the projector. Seeing this makes me a little embarrassed. What I say with my mouth, there is no error in my movements.
“You went where you needed to, project your firepower, and gave bold instructions in consideration of the condition of your teammates. You did the best you could as a team leader. but···”
She says looking back at some more data.
“As a team leader, he has good judgment, but sometimes he does not trust his teammates. You may be able to lead a one-man show by yourself now, but later in the battle, you will be tasked with tasks that you cannot do alone. At that time, I want you to make a decision that trusts the team a little more.”
“I will be aware of it.”
“Next is Kana and Lee Jung-soo. The two will be evaluated together. What are your evaluations of your battles mediocre? We did what each other had to do. But you are a problem from an external point of view.”
The two cringe at the sharp gaze of Instructor Kiara.
“Guardians are not always put into easy and achievable missions. Sometimes you have to take on a mission that requires you to be prepared for death, and sometimes you have to make the decision to sacrifice yourself in order to accomplish the mission. But I don’t see that kind of will and enthusiasm in you. If you want to stick with this academy with that mindset, hit it right now.”
They didn’t say anything.
What they said when I wasn’t there was somewhat expected…
There were no episodes like this because Rahobin had never been the team leader in the first place.
Nothing was expected of them.
There is no expectation, there is no sense of betrayal.
They don’t even seem to have the courage to look into my eyes.
“Because of your remarks, you are confirmed for three days of special supplementation for mind remodeling.”
Kiara looked at Namgoongyeon for the last time.
“Namgoongyeon, first…”
But I cut her off there.
“Can I personally evaluate Namgung-yeon’s cadets?”
Instructor Kiara nodded.
I stand in front of Namgungyeon.
“Namgoongyeon cadets, what level of skill do you think you have shown yourself?”
“I think I’ve done my part…”
Nam Goong-yeon, who was trying to use the half-talk, realized that I was still acting as the team leader and raised the word.
“I will show you the battle the cadets fought today. Take a look and reconsider what kind of battle you fought.”
I show her dash attack.
“Evaluate this attack for yourself.”
“I think it’s a great attack that destroyed one of the heads.”
Nam Goong-yeon speaks out confidently.
Her head will be full of thoughts of mimicking her mother’s signature move.
“I thought you would answer that way. As for the attack itself, it was a great attack. But let’s look at the circumstances in which the attack came in.”
When she advances like a dragon and creates a storm with two swords, I stop.
“Can you see it? Where is the cadet heading now?”
She doesn’t answer anything.
“The cadets are now rushing into the center of the worms. And the further you go into the center of the worms, the less you take care of yourself. The goal of getting a quick kill in the end goal is good in itself, but I overlooked the persistence. In particular, I failed to control the distance with the supporter.”
When Kana’s cam is turned on, Namgoong-yeon gets out of the range where she can use the amulet and is debating whether to stay in a safe place or follow the danger.
“Being outside the recoverable range of Yoko Kana cadets, there was no lasting recovery and the formation almost collapsed. In addition, since Cadet Lee Jung-soo received my order and went to stop the monsters that would join, it was even more dangerous because there was no ally who could protect them from the threat.”
I show Kana’s gaze behind her.
“After that, the only supporter had to go all the way to the firing line to protect you, and the threat was drawn to her. If you do not recover properly after this, it is a matter of the cadets who forced the supporters to enter.”
Namgoong-yeon’s face was dyed bright red.
“Armed with advanced defense artifacts, and a sword used by a legendary being, it must have resonated with you. But one thing must be acknowledged. You are not a swordsman at the level of Serena Namgung. Her fame was not built on the destructive power of swordsmanship. It comes from reading her whole game.”
Now, her longing for her mother is the driving force behind her and is also a factor that prevents her from further developing.
Seeing her eyes bulging, I have to do this much to drive it.
Among the art of dealing with people, there is a skill of saying bad things first, and then saying good things later and holding people up and down.
“But at the same time, I see possibilities in the former cadets. attitude first. When the two cadets were only thinking about how to get out, the cadet caught them all and fueled their will to complete the mission. As a team leader, when I was only aware of the current situation, the cadets were leading the entire team. In that situation, it wasn’t me who took the role of the team leader, it was Namgoong-yeon’s cadet.”
And I look back at the situation.
“Second, accurate judgment and boldness. Although there was a lack of communication with the teammates, the situation is right when you should have boldly dealt damage to the enemy boss. As soon as Cadet Lee Jeong-su collapsed, his head was in a state of recovery, and if the battle was prolonged, it was sure to overwhelm us with numbers.”
“So the conclusion?”
Kiara looked at Namgungyeon and asked.
“If we had teamed up with other damage dealers with similar combat power to the Namgungyeon Cadet, we would have had to retreat after clearing out the enemies in the outpost, or we would have been wiped out while catching the boss. However, I believe that we were able to catch the boss because of the leadership and judgment unique to Nam Goong-yeon.”
Her gaze was so hot that she was almost there until she was about to cry.
“I can assure you that Namgung-yeon cadets have the qualities of a team leader, and I will say that they are a promising team member. But I thought someone should point it out before that resonance took hold of it.”
Instructor Kiara looked at her carefully.
“great. Everyone must have learned something today. Nam Goong Yeon. I will not give you any special training. I’ll just give you a video, so please watch it and report what you find out. End of the above criticism.”
What remains is the distribution of the loot.
“The cadets eat more and leave to sleep and meet often, so this time, we will divide by 1/4. However, the order of distribution is determined at the discretion of the team leader. I, Namgoongyeon, Kana, and Lee Jeongsoo choose the item to root in order.”
This proves that Nam Goong-yeon took on the second largest role among the Eun-yeon.
Namgoongyeon looked at me with her eyes almost exploded.
Lee Jung-soo and Kana, who read the serious current, quickly grabbed an object that was difficult to dispose of and ran away.
“hey. Rahobin. You dug up people and now come… Can you be like your mother?”
“That was an accurate assessment. It was also something I wanted to say to you. you can be like your mother But if you try to wield those nine swords at the same time, you will never be able to escape from its shadow.”
And she suddenly catches me as I turn around.
I was forced to turn around because of the force that was nearly enough to squeeze even a hippopotamus.
She was sobbing and crying.
“You are annoying. What do you know so much to me… What do you say?”
It could be a little drowning, but I should have given her a little more shock.
Hearing my next words, Namgoongyeon stopped breathing.
“I am just a person who sincerely told you what you wanted to hear. It’s always up to you to accept it or not.”
Her jaws lose strength.
“I always tell you the truth. It is up to you to decide.”
I did my part.
I’m just pointing out the way for her to go further.
It must be Namgung-yeon’s responsibility to walk that path.
