chapter 8
A New Beginning (3)
‘No, why is he here?’
I was slightly perplexed by the unexpected appearance of Hanna.
Why is this far away kid here, and why is he dealing with goblins alone?
Kie ee ee ee!
At that time, a goblin that came back suddenly began to run after the child,
I suddenly came to my senses, and I quickly shouted at Bang Han-na.
“Watch out for your back!!!”
“!”
Boom-!
Hanna Bang managed to defeat the goblins and succeed in defending.
She quickly hid the child behind her back and slowly backed away towards the wall, being wary of her surroundings.
I clenched my fists in her defense and hurried down the wreckage.
Then I took out the anesthetic incense in my arms and tried to throw the goblins that were getting tighter at Hanna Bang… .
Crispy-!
“… !”
In an instant, the place where I stepped on collapsed, and the anesthetic scent strangely flew away.
Fang-!
Some goblins were drawn to the smell of anesthesia that exploded in a harsh place.
Kee ee ee ee!
In the end, the goblins who found me began to rush in.
“Chi… !”
About 17 meters ahead before encountering the goblins.
I had no choice but to take out the last narcotic incense and throw it at the goblins with all my might.
Fang-!
Kuruk… Kuruk… .
This time, the goblins were drunk with the proper anesthetic scent and started to laugh.
I quickly passed the goblin horde, grabbing a short steel frame lying in the rubble and shouting at Hanna Bang.
“Banghanna! Run and get your attention!”
“F, Producer… !?”
Then, Hanna Bang, who recognized me late, appeared confused for a moment… .
“All right!”
Immediately, he raised his shield with a truncated determination and shouted.
“Hey ah ah… !”
Hanna Bang ran towards the goblins without hesitation to follow my instructions,
Kuruk… gurgle…
The goblins started to hesitate as if they were a little embarrassed by the sudden charge of Hanna Bang.
Goblins, who like to swarm around in groups and squeal, have a typical strong-weak-weak characteristic, which becomes stronger when their opponents show weakness and weakens when shown strong.
Hanna Bang, who had been only defending, suddenly counterattacked, so she is not responding properly!
“Stand back! If you don’t avoid it, you’re right!”
“yes!”
Bang Hanna followed my instructions and quickly retreated.
I applied the technique I stole from Hong Yura, and blew it away with magical power in the steel frame I was holding.
Whirrily Lirik-! Cook-!
The steel frame that flew like a boomerang was stuck in the middle of a group of goblins,
gurgle… ?
At that moment, the goblins’ attention was focused on the steel frame.
I clenched my fists—and burst the magic contained in the steel frame.
quaang——!!!
QIee!!!
Quee!

Magic explosion.
It is a magic application technique that was stolen from Arin Lim.
“F, Producer… !”
“Uh, Mom… !”
I approached the two people who had been avoiding the rising dust in the corner and shouted.
“Are you both okay!?”
“Yes, yes… ! it’s okay!”
“Huh… .”
The crying child dug into Hanna Bang’s arms, and I looked around and looked for a place to escape with the two of them.
‘It’s hard to go up again.’
The wreckage I rode down is quite steep.
Going down is not known, but going up is very dangerous.
In the end, it’s a situation where you have no choice but to turn around and run away from the monsters… .
“Producer! Now what? !”
“… First… .”
right then
Kuruk… Kuruk…
gurgling… Curry…
A new group of goblins began to flock over the dust that had been lifted.
Attention was drawn to the sound of the explosion.
“Uh, uh… ! me, over there! Goblins are coming again!”
Why do bad things always happen all at once?
Even the goblins, who were drunk with the scent of anesthesia, began to descend the slope with anger as if they had just woken up.
“F, Producer… !”
“shit… .”
The situation was surrounded by goblins back and forth.
It would be nice to be able to use more magical explosions, but I don’t have enough magic power to defeat this number.
finally… .
Have no choice but to.
gulp-
After hesitating for a while, I picked up the long stick that was rolling around with my faintly trembling hands.
Then, holding the stick tightly to erase the tremor in his hand— he calmly gave instructions to Hanna Bang.
“If I get attention, I’ll take the kid and run away.”
“yes! I see… ! … yes?”
Hanna Han asked as if something was strange, but… .
“… … Whoo… … .”
I couldn’t afford to listen to her.
Boom bang bang bang–
A heartbeat pounding like crazy with anxiety resounds in my head.
‘can do… . I can… .’
I have instilled confidence in myself by constantly reminding myself that I can do it… .
Deeply entrenched trauma did not come off easily.
“… … Whoo… … .”
afraid.
I’m afraid to pick up a weapon.
I’m afraid I’ll run again, get hurt and never get up again.
And the anxious tremors that bloomed at the end of fear gradually spread throughout the body.
The trauma from training with Lim Arin still hasn’t gone away.
“… … can do… … .”
That time when he constantly hypnotized himself as if he were casting a spell.
Kee ee ee ee ee!
Kie ee ee ee ee!
The goblins started running towards us.
“run!!”
“… yes, four… !”
The moment when Han-na, a man who picks up the child, is about to jump out quickly to follow the instructions.
Jjajjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjoh)
With the chilling chill that struck like lightning, the multitude of goblins froze like a giant iceberg.
I inadvertently let go of the stick in front of that overwhelming power… .
Standing on top of the frozen monsters, she looked up blankly as she looked around with a cold expression on her face.
‘… Seol Joo-hee… .’
It was the appearance of the real protagonist.
*
With the appearance of Seol Joo-hee, the case was quickly resolved.
The boss monster that appeared from the center of the gate was disassembled without a trace, and the gate, which had an unstable appearance, was closed in an instant.
The official number of victims announced by the government is about 900.
The amount of damage continues to increase, but considering the size, location, and time of the gate that occurred, it can be said that a miracle has actually occurred.
The government and the media are paying attention to the magical anomalies measured a few hours before the gate occurs, and crediting the talented people from all walks of life who helped repel the gate.
Among them, ‘Queen’ Seol Joo-hee received the most attention.
People called her a hero, and added the word “Noblesse Oblige” to elevate Seol’s achievements.
In addition, many civic heroes became a topic of discussion, raising the morale of the people despite the great disaster.
Hunters who took out their weapons without hesitation and faced the monsters.
A restaurant owner who evacuated customers and staff rather than running away first.
and… .
[ Two citizen heroes who risked their lives to protect children even in dire situations are leading the topic. Immediately after the incident, Bang Han-na, who was evacuating according to the guidance, found a child who was separated from her parents and left without hesitation… ]
hard-
Seol Joo-hee, who was watching the news while wearing a shower gown, inadvertently grinded her teeth and distorted her expression.
[ At that moment of crisis, Do Ji-hyuk appeared and showed his wits to save the two. Jihyeok Do, who is known as a former general producer of Queens, is a new team that is currently being produced in Seoul… ]
“under.”
Seol Joo-hee didn’t like the news that made Do Ji-hyeok float.
Because Do Ji-hyuk was not a great person to be called a citizen hero.
‘Is that trash bastard a hero? It’s not even funny.’
Seol Joo-hee clearly thought that Do Ji-hyuk had a plan.
Just look at the interview.
[There’s no such thing as a hero… . I just did what I had to do. ]
Do Ji-hyuk smiled shamelessly in front of the camera and secretly raised his status.
Seol Joo-hee firmly believed that Do Ji-hyuk had dark intentions, and after the interview revealed that she was on the same team as Bang Han-na, she was convinced that Do Ji-hyuk was clearly targeting Bang Han-na.
‘You bastard who only knows women’s breasts… .’
Seol Joo-hee, who was looking at Han-na Bang’s shaking breasts in the monitor, regretted that one day she drank strawberry milk every day to grow her breasts, and grinded her teeth.
[ The producer is a very caring person! I usually take good care of you… . ]
Kwajik-!
After seeing Do Ji-hyeok standing next to Han-na Bang, he ended up destroying the TV.

a few days later.
I decided to go straight to work without any additional rest.
There were no specific injuries, and the country did not suffer so much damage that it stopped.
‘This is not within the expected range.’
In the original novel ‘The Strongest Man’, the entire Central Square collapsed and the city stopped for a while.
On the other hand, the number of victims is quite small, and most of the buildings are in good condition, so this is a very good level.
‘If everything goes well like this one… . I might really be able to change it.’
The workplace where I arrived dreaming of such a hopeful future.
“Hey… . Our citizen hero! Can I rest a little longer?”
“it’s okay.”
“No, you might be okay, but Hannah might not be okay. How is she resting when you come out?”
“… Will he be okay?”
“Ugh… . What kind of guy is a hero… .”
Kim Jun-hyung, who said he had heard my news on the news, warmly teased me if I was dressed up or not, and also delivered the news that my story had come out in a group chat where public officials belonged.
“I asked everyone around me. I don’t think I know you.”
“… really?”
“Is that so? The department I was originally affiliated with also asked me to introduce you… .”
“Pretty?”
“I’ll never introduce you, so don’t ask.”
That time when we crossed the city hall together while talking to Kim Jun-hyung.
“So Hannah and the other kids will be here soon… .”
“Mr. Do Ji-hyuk! It’s Do Ji-hyuk!”
“… yes?”
A young woman approached me and pretended to know me.
“Wow… . I saw it on TV! I heard you’ve been through a lot, are you all right?”
Turns out, I was one of those people who saw me on the news.
“Yeah, that’s fine.”
“You are suffering so much… . Are you on the team right now?”
“yes.”
“You’ve been through something like that… , that’s great! Eat this and do your best today… !”
“uh… . thank you.”
She squeezed a vitamin drink in my hand, said goodbye, and walked away.
“… What is that?”
Kim Jun-hyung, who was silently watching from the side, took the vitamin drink in my hand and started to recite something written in the drink.
“Planning and Coordination Office Finance Team, Jiyoung Kang… ? hello. Is there even a number written on it?”
“Is it written like that?”
Junhyung Kim narrowed his eyes as if he was not satisfied with something and looked at me, then opened a drink and started pouring it into his mouth.
“Hey, you idiot! Why are you drinking that?”
“Wow… ! Fuha… . I can’t even look around to see you dating such a pretty girl! Ah!”
“Crazy bastard… . Give me the bottle.”
“Are you going to call me?”
“I gave it my best, but I have to say thank you. and… . Planning and Coordination Office? There’s nothing wrong with being friendly.”
“… never give it No, I can’t!”
So we headed to the office, clashing like high school students.
“Producer! Are you all right?”
“Long time no see. thank you it’s ok What about the kids?”
“Everyone is coming soon!”
“No, Gyuri-san. Why don’t you say hello to me?”
“… … .”
“what? I’m ignoring you here… ?”
“Junhyung, please contact the gym you rented.”
“her… .”
Finally, the long-awaited first training began.
