chapter 12
12 – I slept without charging yesterday
The 28th Guild, which was put on a mission for the first time after the change of adjutant.
The goal was to destroy the collective colony of Abyss located in the northern part of the border area.
Mission difficulty is B
As long as it is a 28 guild that usually solves A-class missions without difficulty. Senna and Yujin were preparing for a sortie with a relatively light heart.
A total of 30 people were put into this mission.
Senna and Eugene, S-rank hunters, 7 A-rank hunters and 18 B-rank hunters.
The other three were C-class hunters who were almost out of the question in terms of power.
‘Come to think of it… this organization was also organized by Jinhyeon. Seriously, why does that guy uselessly send C-class hunters who are clumsy in combat to missions every time? Aren’t there some bitches who even offered their bodies to be allowed to compete among the C-rank guys? I couldn’t fix it this time because I was distracted, but from now on, I’ll have to change the organization like this.’
In their own eyes, they look no different than trash.
Looking at the C-rank hunters who seemed nervous even at this moment, Senna automatically frowned.
Anyway, since it was already too late to change the personnel composition right before the competition, Senna decided to skip that part and boarded the airship with the guild members.
“Then let’s go.”
“Yes, guild master.”
The airship starts moving according to Senna’s command.
At the same time, she heard Choi Han’s voice beginning the mission briefing.
-“Then, I will explain the outline of the operation from now on. We will descend from point B, which is 3 km south of area A, our target point, and move toward the enemy camp. Even if the enemy’s individual strength is not strong, the scale is formidable, so please follow my instructions and move carefully.”-
As before, the operational command was for the adjutant in the unit situation room to grasp the overall situation and give orders.
The role of the adjutant is to determine the location of the enemy through the radar facility, analyze the power of the Abyss, and give appropriate instructions in real time.
And of course, Sena and Eugene had little intention of obeying the adjutant’s orders as they had always done.
‘Something like the Abyss Corps, which is barely at the level of a B-class mission… To be honest, I can easily wipe it out by myself? But, I’ll try to listen to you a little bit in terms of skill or just a glance.’
‘We’ve been killing the Abyss of A-class missions with a smile until now. But at least this guy won’t say useless things like dangerous or retreat like Lee Jin-hyun, right?’
Still, as the elites who came out of the government, the two expect to show a somewhat usable appearance.
And after a while…
– “We have arrived at the destination. Please do a final check”-
As soon as the announcement came out, the girls erased the lighthearted attitude they had until now.
Even though it was a B-class mission, they were still S-class hunters.
On the battlefield, I never let my guard down.
With such serious determination, Senna began inspecting the weapon in her hand one last time.
rose cutter
A sword with a length of 80 cm and a gorgeous rose pattern engraved on it.
However, at first glance, the substance of this seemingly simple sword was the culmination of modern science and technology and one of the strongest weapons developed exclusively for S-class hunters.
The blade, reminiscent of sawtooth, is made of monomolecular cutters, so it can cut through anything, and even oscillates and rotates like a chainsaw during operation, maximizing its killing power.
This terrifying weapon that can sever not only rock and steel, but also the hard skin of the Abyss like tofu, weighs as much as 40 kg.
It was almost impossible for an ordinary person to even hold and wield, but Senna, an S-class hunter with a superhuman body as a hunter, was able to hold it as lightly as a feather and handle it freely.
In fact, the same weapon as her alter ego that brought Senna to this point.
Confirming her graceful figure once again, Senna began preparing her mind as usual today.
By the way..
“… uh?”
The next moment, Sena suddenly starts to see embarrassment on her face.
Eugene, who was preparing her mind for her attitude, looked at her questioningly.
“yes? What is it? What’s up?”
“What.. what.. this. Why is this the only charge?”
“What? No way..”
Eugene hurriedly checked the side of Rosecutter at Sena’s words.
However, even in her eyes, the Rosecutter’s charging rate was only 20%, which meant that the Rosecutter’s killing power would be reduced to less than half of its usual level.
“No, what the hell is this… I’m on the verge of a battle right now, so what if I find out about this now? What did you do without checking last night? There’s not even a charger here!”
“It was always charged at 100% normally! Damn, how did this happen… !”
Thoughts flashed through Senna’s mind as he spoke with frustration.
It was about one fact that had been completely forgotten.
‘… This… Lee Jin-hyun.’
The name that comes to mind only now.
At the same time, Senna was finally able to figure out what caused the current situation.
‘That’s right… Come to think of it, he was always charging the weapon. Damn… that damn guy is like this until the last minute.’
Strictly speaking, the current situation could not be said to be Lee Jin-hyun’s fault.
In the first place, weapon charging was supposed to be done the day before the sortie in preparation for discharge, and crucially, originally, this was what Senna, the owner of the weapon, had to do.
Sena, ignoring that fact, pours out insults in her heart at the man who is not here.
at that time..
“… Sena.. Sena.. what do I do?”
“..What?”
Eugene is showing a more pale and tired expression than Sena.
As a result, doubts and anxiety began to appear on Sena’s face at the same time, and Eugene was showing a contemplative expression while watching her.
The weapon Eugene was using was a sniper rifle.
Brunac MK 4
caliber 20mm, maximum firing distance 10km
It can switch between burst fire and single shot, and its power is at a level that can penetrate armored vehicles.
In addition, when switching to sniper mode, it is a fearsome item that can destroy even main battle tanks.
But..
At this moment, the weapon, which is classified as the highest class among firearms, was just a little heavy lump of metal.
The reason is that..
“No ammunition?
“Uh.. yes.. usually the magazines are always in the military gear, but today there are none. What I have is less than 40 rounds that I take for basic possession.”
“west… Hopefully this too.”
“… ”
Eugene bowed his head at Sena’s words.
What that meant, Senna could clearly recognize even if Eugene didn’t say anything.
“This is also Lee Jin-hyun.. that bastard..”
When someone hears it, Sena reacts as if Lee Jin-hyun has staged this situation as part of it to f*ck off.
And of course, among the hunters who watched the situation in silence while inside the airship, not a single one sympathized with her attitude.
‘What is it.. how long has it been since you left, adjutant, are you already buying?”
‘I knew it would be like that… Our guild is doing very well from the start.’
Recognizing the fact that the current situation is so bleak, the hunters sincerely began to feel deep anxiety about the upcoming battle.
In the case of Eugene’s Brunak, it is impossible for others to borrow bullets because they use exclusive bullets.
It was at that time that the two of them were anxious about the current situation.
– “We have arrived at the destination. Start descending” –
“Kuh… ”
“… damn..”
Two people who couldn’t find a way to rectify this situation in the end
In the first place, there was no way to charge it without a charger, and it was impossible to make a bullet that did not exist.
That being said, it’s a really ridiculous situation to come this far and go back with all the operations canceled.
In the end, the two had no choice but to go to the battlefield with a blunt sword and a sniper rifle that lacked bullets.
