chapter 33
Episode 33-Anma?
This wave was caused by the ecosystem chaos caused by the appearance of boss-class monsters.
The two monsters, called Boat and Note, had the appearance of a gorilla with huge size.
Because it is a monster, it has a slightly different appearance from a gorilla, but in fact, it is safe to say that it is just a gorilla.
Park Soo-hyeon’s goal was to kill the boat and note and quickly end the wave, while also quickly raising the status of himself and his teammates.
No matter how many expedients were involved in catching boats and notes, it was possible to raise the status of not only the academy but also the city to a tremendous level since the boss-level monster was caught with only five people.
If you have a high position in the city, the things you can do increase and the things you can interfere with will happen, so there was nothing wrong with putting it up once.
‘The problem is that catching both the boat and the note is not a joke.’
The standard is to catch both the boat and the note.
The problem was that this process was very difficult, so only about 20% of those who did a proper strategy could clear it.
For reference, since I was 80% incapable of clearing, I always only grabbed notes that had a slightly bigger impact when I caught them.
‘If I were added to Park Soo-hyun, would I be able to catch both?’
To be honest, I’m still not sure what level Park Soo-hyun’s sense as a player is.
What has happened so far is because it is full of things that anyone can have the same level of impact if they have a basic strategy.
From now on, it will gradually become a level where physical and judgment skills will enter, but we will have to find out what level Park Soo-hyun will show by watching what he does in the future.
If Park Soo-hyun shows the appearance of a top player, in fact, I will be able to end the apocalypse even if I don’t work very hard.
“Instructor, may I suggest a strategy?”
Park Soo-hyun took me to persuade the instructor who was assigned as our superior
Since he didn’t have to say anything, he asked him to just look at the instructor from the side, and it was a way to clearly know what he was thinking.
“Operation?”
“Yes, our group is definitely stronger than the other groups. It’s because we can’t help but think that carrying out the same mission as other groups is a waste of manpower.”
The instructor looked at Park Soo-hyun and me alternately with complicated eyes.
Originally, it was the point where I should have been told to stop talking nonsense here and go back, but when I saw him licking his lips while looking at me, I felt that the effectiveness of Park Soo-hyun for bringing me was clearly revealed.
“Yeah, it’s a waste of you doing normal missions.”
“Yes, we think we…”
Park Soo-hyun was thoroughly aware of the overall strategy to block the wave.
It happened because the strategy to block the wave was solved to all the awakened people, and thanks to that, it was not difficult for Park Soo-hyun to spit out a strategy that sounded reasonable.
“So, you want to go to the center and deal with the stronger monsters?”
“I don’t think there’s anything lacking at our level.”
The instructor looked down at me once more.
“Your group might have given permission if Lee Joo-eun hadn’t been there, but compared to the others, there’s one person whose strength is considerably inferior.”
Park Soo-hyun laughed at the instructor’s words.
It was as if the instructor was provoking what he knew about Lee Ju-eun.
“Lee Joo-eun is a strategist who is quick to analyze the surrounding situation and knows the theory even though she is weak. I hope you don’t ignore him.”
“I’m not ignoring cadet Lee Joo-eun. I’m just worried about falling behind in case of a crisis.”
It’s a crisis situation.
Is the word crisis important to humans who are going to catch the boss in the first place?
“I can take care of enough. The power of the area I proposed in the first place is enough to protect our bodies and safely get out.”
“Hmm, I’ll report to the superiors. I’ll tell you positively.”
After waiting for about 10 minutes, we received a call that our operation was approved.
“Lee Joo-eun, do you know what is in the place I am going to?”
“Well? Aren’t there just two monsters that are one level higher than the one we’re supposed to catch?”
Let’s say it slyly, Park Soo-hyun sighed and smiled.
“After this operation, I have no intention of joining the same group as you guys anymore. This time is very important, so I will move with you, but from now on you will lead the others.”
“Where are you going?”
“We need to gather other promising players and form a team.”
Park Soo-hyun tapped my shoulder and took the lead.
I felt a strong trust in his hand tapping on my shoulder.
‘Still, it means that I can reach a useful level.’
The feeling of being acknowledged by the world’s main character wasn’t that bad.
*******
“This is where we should wait, right?”
“Oh, that’s right.”
“You checked the map a few times. Here you are.”
When Park Soo-hyun and I spoke at the same time, Seo-yeon nodded as if she was relieved.
It seems that Park Soo-hyeon and I cheated at the same time and didn’t notice it, but this was an area about 200m north of the place we originally designated.
It was only a 200m difference, but it was a point where the probability of finding a boat and a note increased by more than 50%.
So, considering the influence of the two people, I specially selected the place, but luckily I was able to pass it safely.
“Wavebra…”
Gahyeon touched her sword with a dull face.
Confidence that we will be able to overcome safely was a level that could be seen if we looked closely, but can we do it well? Anxiety was much greater.
Park Soo-hyun glanced at me and noticed.
I sighed inwardly at those eyes that insisted that it was my role to take care of my mental health and get a good impression, and approached Gahyeon’s side.
“Why are you nervous?”
She leaned her face against me as Gahyeon was startled when she said, clinging right next to her.
“It’s the first time I’ve moved a bit… Directly for the stability of the city. I’m very anxious about whether I can do well…”
“Don’t worry. There are many Awoken people besides us, and it’s not even a high level of risk here. Don’t worry too much, as we just have to go back after having good experience in the field.”
It’s already been quite a while since the flirting skill was awakened.
During that time, I figured out how to properly use the flirting skill.
In terms of effect, it was much more effective to be really determined and act cute, but in order to calm my mind and not let it be obvious that I was acting charming, it was enough to slightly lengthen the end of my words or tilt my head as if flirting. I found out that enough is enough.
To be honest, I couldn’t avoid the experience of feeling like my pride was shattered, but I couldn’t help it.
But there was no way I wouldn’t use the skill at all.
“Is that so? Can you block it without difficulty?”
“Oh, I’ll be able to block it. So don’t worry.”
I rubbed Gahyeon’s shoulder and woke up from her bed, and the other kids came to me asking me to rub their shoulders as well.
“Why does Gahyeon rub her shoulders while she doesn’t rub mine!!”
In order to relieve her tension, I gave Jisoo’s shoulder, who was overacting, as a fetish.
“Shall I rub your shoulders?”
“It’s not absolutely necessary, but if you do, I have no intention of rejecting it.”
She thought so and turned around behind her, but seeing her like that, I couldn’t do anything about her other than stare at her.
“Why are you still?”
“Considering the height difference between you and me, don’t you think you’ll be able to massage your shoulders properly when you sit down?”
When she said it as if she was dumbfounded, she finally said ah! She sat down as she put on a smile on her face.
As she was rubbing her shoulders, a blue window suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
