Arena, Alien hunting

The break was coming to an end.

As the test approached, we returned to the headquarters of the Nordic Trials in Denmark.

At the start of the test, you will go to sleep in reality because you are at risk of being attacked in the meantime.

The Nordic Trials Headquarters is preparing to take the test, and Wilhelm, a research booklet, came and handed it over.

It was two radio transceivers and ten transmitters.

I pointed at them and asked.

“Odin?”

Wilhelm nods, smiling, to make sure he understood what I meant.

It meant you could take it to the Arena and give it to Odin.

‘Well, no problem. ’

The wider the network, the more beneficial it was for me.

The better I communicate with the Nordic Trials' investigators who are friendly to me, the faster I learn information.

You can ask for help if you need it.

“Welcome! It's the test time you've been looking forward to. ”

A baby angel flew in and greeted us.

“Summon Lithograph. ”

Cha Ji-hye is like a knife.

Summon the Lithograph to confirm the test as if you do not intend to listen to Baby Angel talk.

I should follow my example.

I also tried summoning the Lithograph.

Name: Hyunho Kim

Class: 33

Karma: +100

Mission: Stop the Pirate Invasion

Time limit: unlimited

I looked at Cha Ji-hye with a blemish.

“Looks like the pirates are invading again. ”

I also felt calm because of Cha Ji-hye's calm attitude.

“Looks like you're trying to make up for your last failure. ”

The pirates were driven out by Odin, and the corrupt examiners who were trapped in them were shot at by me.

What if the reality of moving pirates were the corrupt experimenters of China?

He wants to make up for the damage he caused because he couldn't make it last time. In addition,

“It seems the Chinese are trying to retaliate against us. ”

Cha Ji-hye said.

I nodded.

“You and the pirates will invade the harbor again and kill us all. ”

Among them, it was likely that Lichang was also involved.

And why is that?

Because Odin showed up.

If Odin stands in the way of an invasion again, he is the only one who can defeat the likes of him.

“That's too much. The Praetor will try to thwart the pirate invasion by drawing back his army once again. ”

Without the defense of the army.What are we supposed to do to stop the pirate invasion?

“Hey, are you in trouble? ”

The baby angel asked as if to mock.

“Who are you kidding? ”

“Yes.”

“Khh! You bastard! ”

Tang, bang, bang!

I summoned the duo and shot it, but the baby angel dodged a grudge.

Even though the shooting skill was 100% accuracy within 10 m, the baby angel could not hit it.

I thought it was because of the angel.

“Calm down, calm down. It's a waste of ammo."

“Son of a bitch! We're number eight now! What kind of test is this? ”

Many of China's corrupt test subjects may have been herded among pirates.

Assuming that, this exam is too difficult for us!

“What do you mean. Have you ever had an impossible test? ”

“ ……. ”

Not really. I've cleared them all so far.

“Why did the investigator Kim Hyun-ho keep getting stronger? Maybe it's because there's something you need to do. ”

“…… of course. ”

“The difficulty is just right. It's never been wrong. ”

After speaking, the baby angel gestures like a fly.

“Now, stop whining and go. ”

Heave!

The door of the test suddenly came up.

Consider it a test, his tone is clearly wrong! He's been degrading the examiner's condition since before the exam!

When Cha Ji-hye opened the door first, I stared at the baby angel once and followed him inside.

He was waving his hand as he split the thread.

“There you are.”

Odin awaits us.

“What is Mr. Odin's test? ”

“As expected. It was a test to go back and spread the word about the Black Wizard organization. ”

‘I anticipated it, but also……. ’

I felt bad.

Leaving to Odin has made it harder to stop the pirate invasion.

“What about you two? ”

“Stop the pirate invasion. ”

“As you two? ”

“I see.”

“Hmm, you're in trouble. The deputy commissioner of Port Depot seems to be involved with pirates as well. ”

Did I mention Admiral Asshel?

The bald old man must have fled somewhere else, leading the army in response to the pirate raid.

Then how do you expect me to protect Ji-hye and the port in a defenseless state?

But it was then.

“Hyunho! ”

Familiar voice on the mountain.

Pa!

“Huff!”

Marie, who came out of the forest, jumped into my arms. She hung on my neck like a koala in an instant.

“Marie, what is your test? ”

Odin asked.

Marie said with a pointy face.

“Guard Odin. ”

“Guard me? ”

Marie nods.

Roughly picture the situation in your head.

“If Mr. Odin reveals their identity, he'll want to remove them from the organization. I think Marie has been given an assignment to stop that. ”

Odin nods at my words.

“I think so. Anyway, this test won't be as easy as I thought. ”

“What about the lagoon?”

Marie asked. I told her about our test.

Marie was devastated that she broke up with me.

After returning to Port Depot, we spent the day at the inn where we were staying.

The next day, Odin and Marie left for the test.

“I'd like to stay and help for a while, but this is a limited time for tests. ”

“Yes, you should hurry. We're gonna do something about this. ”

I gave Odin my stash of man-made muscle suits, two radio transceivers, and ten transmitters.

“Cheer up.”

“Yes, Mr. Odin. ”

“Hyunho, I'll see you later! ”

Marie waves her hands in tears.

I stroked her head with a bloody smile.

Still, we don't use swarms to tell the difference between living with and not living with a ball. I didn't even know it was recovering.

“Now we have to find a way to stop the pirates. ”

“Yes.”

We discussed it over a meal.

“Basically, it's impossible to fight a group of pirates together. The power difference is clear. ”

“That's right. It's not a test you two were given to fight. ”

Think about the time you fought with the Elves in the Brown Mountains.

It was actually the Elves who fought the undead.

I've only provided strategies and ideas to help the Elves fight back by reinforcing their power.

I felt the same way about this test.

“Why don't you try something a little more extreme? ”

In Cha Ji-hye's words, I wondered.

“What demand? ”

“With the Praetor dead, the army will not leave at will. ”

“Ah…! ”

It was a really extreme number.

But it was a pretty feasible plan.

If I shoot the Praetor Asshel, the army will not move at will without the Praetor's order.

“Sniping should be done publicly the day the military leaves the port. ”

The following explanation of Cha Ji-hye was:

Admiral Asshel is leaving the harbor with an army, which means a pirate attack is coming.

At that point, if you assassinate the Praetor of Asshel, the army will lose cause to leave the port.

The Chief of Staff was murdered in front of everyone. Where's the army going?

This creates a situation where pirates and armies are forced to fight.

“If Admiral Asshel is killed first, the army may make excuses in between, or we may hear from the pirates and delay the raid. ”

There was a high likelihood that pirate naval forces, as well as assassins, could be involved.

“I see. Let's do that for now. ”

It was about how to defeat the pirates.

I didn't expect much from the army here.

I don't think a rotten army that can't even defend the harbor will survive piracy.

There are some corrupt examiners among the pirates.

“Wouldn't it be better to fight in the sea than on the ground? ”

I asked.

If you fight in the sea, there is less chance of melee combat than there is on the ground.

If I fight from a distance, I have the advantage of using sniper rifles.

“Makes sense. But in order for the naval war to take place, we must face the pirates after the armies of Port Depot have boarded the warship. ”

Shhh.

As expected, this rotten army is the problem.

We hit our heads and thought. How do we get an army out to sea to fight pirates?

Soon after, Cha Ji-hye opened her mouth.

“Not all soldiers are considered rotten. ”

“Right? Someone must be in a right state of mind.... ”

“What if he becomes the chief commander of Port Deport? ”

I realized what Cha Ji-hye meant.

“You mean kill them all. ”

“Yes, Kim Hyun-ho's ability won't be that difficult. ”

I thought about it for a moment.

Some of the top military officers here had a sense of duty and would want to protect people from pirates.

If we find that person and kill all of his superiors to become the top conductor…….

At least it'll be easier to deal with pirates.

If you fight on a boat in the sea, you are confident that Lichang is the opponent.

What are you gonna do, shoot from afar, no matter how far you fly and crawl?

I nodded and said.

“I'll do that. ”

“Let's explore for now. ”

At the end of the meal, we called the innkeeper.

“Did you enjoy your meal? ”

He was the owner of an inn for nobles, so he was both dressed and expressive.

“That was good. But I have one question. ”

I spoke in a filthy but noble manner.

“Yes, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. ”

“I thought there was a pirate raid. ”

“I did.”

The innkeeper's face turned dark.

“What the hell did the army do here? ”

“What would you have done? You must have been on the run for some reason because of the monster wipeout. ”

The innkeeper cynically said.

As they thought, the assessment of the Praetor and the military in Port Depot was brutal.

“If you can do that, then you can assume you're dealing with pirates. ”

The innkeeper looked around and secretly pointed it at my ear.

“That's a public fact. There are more than one or two pirates and nobles in this country. It's a public secret. ”

He was a brutally honest master because he knew I was a foreign aristocrat who came with Odin.

“You're crazy. So there's not a single legion of legions here? ”

I asked.

The innkeeper said.

“Why not? No matter how many scouts there are, you don't have to rot them all. ”

“Is anyone right? ”

I asked.

“There is a man who is respected by all. He's the one who made a late evacuation during the last raid. ”
