chapter 10
Episode 10
Jung-min and a muscular man open the front door of the shelter [Daeseong] and enter.
Inside was another huge door.
A pair of men and women who stood guarding the door greeted the muscular man.
When the muscular man said something small while being greeted, the man and woman opened the huge Chinese gate and stood back to one side.
The muscular man looked at Jung-min and said.
“Follow me. Put it in the black inventory.”
The two started walking.
Jung-min was admiring Shelter’s appearance, which was completely different from when he came a month ago.
As I entered the door, people began to appear one by one.
Awakeners who moved into the shelter and their families.
The muscular man walked ahead without saying anything and stopped in front of the stairs leading to the second floor.
“I’m Namseong-dong. I’m the first leader of Shelter [Daesung]’s Awakened combat unit.”
Looking at Seongdong’s back as he spoke without looking back, Jeongmin said
“..My name is Jeongmin Choi.”
“Captain 6…”
Seongdong continued talking right away, refusing to listen to Jeongmin’s name.
“Chief 6 stood out from the first training after moving in. He was basically talented in combat, as well as the combination of skills..? He was a great talent.”
It bothered him to speak in the past tense, but Jung-min listened to Seong-dong in silence.
“I like people unnecessarily, so I took care of this person, so many people around me followed and liked it. In the end, despite the objection of the person in charge of personnel, I took the position of leader of Team 6 of the Awakened combat unit.”
Seongdong started walking again.
Slowly climbing the stairs to the second floor, he continued talking.
“[Trial of the Gods] started suddenly, but I’ve been training for a while… Even the monsters that came out of the gate were goblins or something, but they didn’t seem very strong… I was defending well. It wasn’t without damage, though. ..”
When I went up to the second floor, I saw a passage leading to the next building.
I saw an arrow pointing into the hallway and the word ‘Ward’ written on it.
“Chief of 6th… To put it in a good way, I’d say he was a very nice person… Even in the middle of a battle, when he saw someone in danger, he rushed to rescue him.. Thanks to him, I also saved my life once…”
“…..”
“Last night… the monsters attacked again at the monster gate in front of the Shelter’s main entrance, but they sent an army that included a large number of goblin champions.”
‘… Goblin Champion…!’
As I walked while listening to the story of Seongdong, I arrived at the ward building.
There were barrel windows on both sides of the aisle that looked into the hospital room, and patients could be seen lying on beds through the windows.
I looked at the resting patients with large and small wounds, but Jun-gi was nowhere to be seen.
Sungdong continued to speak.
“A strong enemy came, but everyone was fighting well. However… some of the 6th team members were surrounded by the three goblin champions and were in danger of dying… well, the next story is obvious, the 6th team leader went to rescue Fighting three goblin champions…”
Jimin’s heart started beating.
Namseong-dong stopped walking and turned around to look at Jung-min.
“.. You’re not dead yet.. Maybe.. I’ve heard it’s pretty bad, but.. but I owe you my life, and I thought I should say goodbye to this guy called a friend, so I brought you to the shelter… Don’t smoke, quietly say your last goodbyes and leave.”
After speaking, Seongdong raised his hand and pointed to one side.
I saw a ward with ‘ICU’ written on it, and there were many people gathered in front of it.
People looking at the intensive care unit with a firm expression. Among them were women who were weeping and weeping.
Seongdong said with resentment towards them.
“They are arguing about what they did well!
Seongdong clicked his tongue as he spoke, and the atmosphere of the people sank even more.
At that time, the door to the intensive care unit opened and a man with a rather stern impression walked out.
The man in the dark blue suit and the blind glasses looked around and said,
“Why are you making such a fuss in front of the hospital room? No, why is Captain 1 here?”
“How’s the 6th boss?”
The man in the suit shrugged and said.
“Well, it seems difficult. The wound is so deep that treatment skills are useless. Even the doctor said it was impossible…”
The man who spoke to Seongdong in a low voice sighed and muttered.
“… how much I’ve invested in the meantime, but I’m going to go out like this in the beginning.. It’s a loss. It’s a loss. Why do useless things… Tsk”
The people around him who heard the muttering glared at the man with bloodshot eyes.
Seongdong raised his hand to stop them and said.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time.. Tsk.. Well, anyway. Let’s go in. Here’s a friend I brought, and I’m friends with Chapter 6. I have to say my last goodbye.”
Only then did the man find Jeong-min.
The man’s eyebrows twisted severely, and soon he fired at Seongdong.
“Are you bringing an outsider into the shelter?”
“If you come in, you are an insider.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think Shelter is some kind of kid’s joke?”
“Oh, I understand, so let’s go inside. If you don’t like it, I’ll punish you.”
“Captain 1!”
As the two were arguing, the door to the intensive care unit opened and a woman came out.
The woman looked at Jung-min and exclaimed in delight.
“Jeongmin oppa!!”
It was Jun-hee, Jun-gi’s younger brother.
Junhee ran to Jung-min with a happy face and grabbed Jung-min’s hands.
“You’re here to see your brother! Welcome back.. Let’s go in.”
Seeing Junhee speak with tears in his eyes, Jeongmin’s heart ached.
Joon-hee dragged Jung-min’s hand into the intensive care unit, and the man in the suit who saw her said to Seong-dong, clicking his tongue.
“… I’m not going to let this go unnoticed.”
Sungdong said calmly.
“Is that so”
After staring at Seongdong for a while, the man clicked his tongue and followed Jungmin and Junhee back into the intensive care unit.
As Jung-min and Jun-hee entered the intensive care unit, a middle-aged couple sitting next to the bed stood up and greeted Jung-min.
Joon-gi’s mother burst into tears as she hugged Jung-min.
“Oh my gosh, Min-ah. What is our Junki doing? He can’t open his eyes. What’s our Junki really like?”
“…Don’t worry, mother. Joon-gi will wake up.”
Jung-min hugged Jun-gi’s mother and patted her, then looked at Jun-ki lying on the bed.
Junki’s condition looked very serious.
Half of his face was covered with bandages, and his entire body was wrapped in bandages.

Breathing was also very rough.
Junhee whimpered and said to Jungmin.
“… All the bones in the body were crushed… Bones are bones… Above all, the wound on the head is too big…”
Behind Jung-min, Joon-gi’s mother sobbed, “Heuk.”
Jung-min took out an advanced potion from his inventory and said to the doctor standing next to the bed.
“That… I have a drug I might try…”
The doctor looked at the potion Jung-min took out and said.
“Eh? Isn’t that a potion?”
“…do you know the potion?”
The doctor sighed lightly, and a man in a suit approached Jung-min and said,
“… You seem to have the potion making skill. It’s a very useful skill.. But it’s useless. I’ve already used potions from other shelters… that were airlifted very cheaply. I even tried using the healing skill. Using them together. But as you can see… it didn’t work very well, probably because the wound was too big.”
On the face of the man who was talking, a sign of regret for the potion used was evident.
Jungmin said softly.
“… This potion will be different.”
The man in the suit stood in front of Jung-min and said.
“You say it’s useless. I’ve already used it up. Why don’t you waste precious potions unnecessarily and hand them over to us? I heard that making one bottle isn’t easy… I’m willing to buy all of the potions you have on good terms. .
No, if you don’t belong, how about moving into our shelter? There are no Awakeners with potion making skills in our Shelter. We’ll make sure you’re treated well.”
Jung-min glared at the man in the suit who spoke slowly.
Even Junki’s family glared at the man, and the man shrugged his shoulders and said something embarrassing.
“This… I didn’t mean to bring it up in a place like this. I’ve often heard that I’m careless. Moving in later…”
Jeong-min didn’t want to listen to the man’s story anymore, so he used space movement right away.
Jung-min’s figure appeared on the other side of the bed, and without delay, Jung-min opened the stopper of the potion and started spraying it on Jun-gi.
After spraying the potion intensively on the head, spread the potion evenly throughout the body.
A bottle of high-grade potion quickly ran out, and Jung-min took out another high-grade potion and started pouring it into Jun-gi’s mouth.
The man in the suit and Jun-ki’s family just stared blankly until Jung-min, who disappeared in an instant, appeared on the other side of Jun-gi’s bed and sprayed the potion.
When Jung-min took out a new potion and started pouring it into Jun-gi’s mouth, the man in the suit came to his senses and said angrily.
“What are you doing right now! Didn’t you already do all the treatments! A precious potion for nothing?”
The angry man in the suit shut his mouth in surprise.
It was because Jun-gi’s whole body, which had been sprayed with potion, made a sizzling sound and the wounds bubbling up.
Junhee, who was watching the situation in surprise, said.
“… when I used the potion earlier… it wasn’t like this…”
The bubbles that had been boiling in Junki’s body quickly disappeared.
And
“…. mom..”
Junki opened his eyes.
Joon-gi’s mother burst into tears in surprise.
“Joo, Joongi! Yes, Mom, Mom! Do you recognize Mom?”
Junki smiled faintly, then closed his eyes again and let out a steady breathing sound.
“It’s Jun-gi! It’s Jun-gi!”
When Jun-gi’s mother tried to shake Jun-gi, the doctor hurriedly came and dried Jun-gi’s mother and looked at Jun-gi.
After examining every nook and cranny of Junki’s body, even turning over his eyelids, he said to Junki’s mother.
“…. appears to have just fallen asleep. How jeez… I’ll have to check again.”
The doctor said he had to get ready and left the room.
Joon-gi’s family hugged Jung-min and burst into tears.
“Oh, Jung Min-ah. You… you saved our Junki! You saved our Junki!”
Jung-min comforted Jun-gi’s mother and said.
“Jun-gi will be fine now. You don’t have to worry too much.
Jung-min, who comforted Jun-ki’s family and exchanged greetings, looked at the man in the suit.
The man was very surprised with his mouth hanging open.
Jung-min looked at the man expressionlessly for a moment before leaving the room.
Team 6 members and leader Nam Seong-dong, who were waiting outside the hospital room, stood in bewilderment at the commotion they heard from inside and the doctor who suddenly jumped out and disappeared somewhere in a hurry.
Jeongmin bowed his head to Namseongdong and said.
“Thank you for letting me in. Thanks to you, I was able to heal Junki.”
Seongdong, hearing Jungmin’s words, said in surprise.
“… Healed? The 6th leader?”
“Yes, he’s sleeping right now… he’ll wake up soon. Please take good care of him from now on. As you know, it happens that you unnecessarily like people and end up doing things without thinking.”
“Uh… that…”
Jung-min nodded his head at the members of Team 6, leaving Seong-dong surprised.
“…Thank you as well.”
The crew members of Group 6 were embarrassed and bowed their heads to Jeong-Min.
“Then I’m…”
Nam Sung-dong, who had been watching Jung-min walk away, hurriedly ran to Jeong-min and said,
“Hey! Go with me. You have to come with me to go through the door.”
“Ah, I see. Please.”
Jeong-min started walking with Seong-dong, but he had no choice but to stop.
It was because a man in a suit who had followed him before he knew it was blocking his way.
Seongdong said to the man in a bad tone.
“… What is it?”
The man smiled and said to Seongdong.
“Ah, I don’t have business with the first group blind.. Here.. I want to talk to this person.”
The man smiled and held out his hand to Jeongmin.
“Hello. I’m formally greeting you. I’m Kwak Jo-won, the personnel manager at Shelter [Daesung].”
Jung-min looked at Jo-won’s hand and held it.
“… I’m Choi Jung-min.”
Joe laughed and said.
“I apologize for the earlier rudeness. I often get hated for this and that because I’m a bit ignorant.”
Jung-min heard Seong-dong snort.
Jo Won continued to speak without hesitation.
“I was very impressed with the potion thing I just saw. If you don’t mind, could you come over to my office and talk to me for a minute?”
Seongdong interrupted Jo Won’s words.
“If you have something to say, say it here.
I could feel Joe’s brows twitching slightly.
“… Captain 1? Isn’t Captain 1 on guard duty right now? You have to come back soon, right?”
“We’re coming back and you caught us. I want to come back soon too?”
As the two scuffled, Jung-min stepped forward and said to Jo-won.
“If you have something to say, do it here.”
Jo Won glared at Nam Sung Dong and said to Jung Min.
“…Do you have any plans to move into Shelter [Daesung]? I heard from the younger brother of the 6th leader, I don’t think you belong anywhere.”
“I’m not interested. Enough then.”
Jeong-min turned around and started walking while Seong-dong smiled and said to Jo-won.
“Oops, our HR manager is telling us to return to alert duty quickly, so I’ll have to go soon. Enough then.”
Seongdong raised his hand above his forehead and gave a salute, then turned around and followed Jeongmin.
After staring at the backs of Jung-min and Seong-dong as they left Jo-won, he took out his smartphone and made a call somewhere.
“It’s me. A group leader and a man will be leaving the shelter’s front door soon. Catch up with the man and dig behind him. Who he belongs to. Where he bases his activities.”
Jo Won, who hung up the phone, looked at Jeong-min’s back as he disappeared from sight and smiled.
