History's Strongest Manager

[20] Is it a necessity or a coincidence (2)

Tuesday,

West Aran sits in a cafe in Yangpyeong, the first time she's been out there alone, except for a group outing in two years.

Until the graduation ceremony next week, the night students were able to go out indefinitely for a week. It was a period of contact with management but it had nothing to do with going home. Everyone was separated from those who came in contact with management and ate food that they could not or did not eat. Once I was able to control the rigors, drinking and drinking was not that difficult.

Since I became more military than the army, there were many people who were rushing around like mad calves who were all freed from oppression. It was still a long vacation, received allowance, and there was no big deal even if I met management later.

But Aran was not very interested in such things. She was alone, and after her vacation and graduation ceremony, she would leave Korea and be part of the Templar Squad of the United Nations. It was practically a soldier, and it was a controlled and abstinent life.

“We're thinking 8,000 to 8: 2 as a down payment. If you look at the contract here... ”

“Ah…. Yes, I see. ”

“If you don't mind, other management... ”

“Earlier in Leshen, they called 8,000, 8.5: 1.5 in five years... ”

“Oh, I see... In the cloud, we'll lend you Class C equipment for free. ”

“Oh, that's okay. ”

Behind Aran, you hear a john speaking. Behind us, Temple's number one performer was negotiating with other cloud officials. What it meant to be a senior graduate of the Night Temple was very large. But she longed for the Templar and had nothing to do with the world of the Night.

I was not interested in it in the first place because I left the idea of dislike. Her goal was not money, so it didn't matter how much they got paid, no matter how good the terms were.

Kang Ju won a lot of dashes because he survived, and the competition for the top 30 people was like war.

However, companies never want to lose money. Everyone knew they had to run blindly from the moment they signed the contract until they generated more than the amount of money they had earned. Some of the candidates had already signed a hot stone contract because of the high deposit.

“Well, think about it and get back to me. ”

“Yes, let me think. Well done."

“Oh, yeah. ”

Officials left and heard a drink to see if the talk was over. And slowly approached the place where Aran was.

“What are you doing here? ”

She raises the cup in a silent take-out glass. Aran has few words, and conserves them unless it is absolutely necessary. She was as cold as her eyes, so people often misunderstood her.

She was beautiful, knew how to look attractive and was strong. At this point in time for graduation, every student of the night had a reader, regardless of rank. It survived the horrific process of body remodeling.

“Hah... It really bothers me.It's hard to find a good place... I'm afraid of being scammed, and I like you. Just do as you're told. ”

At the end of the lecture, Aran looked at the lead quietly. Then he said in a clear voice.

“Then you can do temples, too. ”

“Well, I mean... I don't like the army.That's what I'm saying... I want to decide my life. ”

“Do it. ”

The lecture slightly stiffened in Aran's brutal reaction. Aran has always maintained a steel-less expression, and usually has no way of expressing her feelings. After entering the Knight Temple as a motivator, Kang Ju never missed first place, and Aran went between second and fifth place, but he usually held on to second place.

Rather, Aran was not jealous of anyone and was not obsessed with ranking. But he decided not to care about Aran anymore. Since then, the trajectory of the two lives has changed greatly, and nothing has been intertwined.

He didn't know the reality of his feelings for Aran. He was always a winner, and the loser was always Aran. But Aran had no feelings about that defeat.

While she was surrounded by people and feeling superior to overall rating number one, Seo Aran silently practiced weaponry at the training ground. It was always the same. Aran didn't seem to care much about anything in life. He had a lot of friends and a very smooth relationship. There were a lot of people who liked her, and I secretly dated her a few times in Temple.

But Seo Aran was a freak. No friends, few words, no hobbies.

I was trained like a job. Kang Ju beat Aran like that every time, but he didn't always have a good aftertaste. Above all, Seo Aran scored a ridiculous score of Perfect on two items.

But now it was time to part with that strange feeling.

- Jiaying!

“Oh, here I am again... It's annoying.”

She gets up from her seat and looks at Aran and waves a little. Aran nods slightly.

“Well done, then. ”

The lead left the cafe, and Aran still sat down and drank coffee. She didn't mean much to the conversation with the lead. When I saw that he was trying to beat himself or despise himself, I felt nothing.

It was just because I thought others were explicit and incomprehensible.

The only thing that mattered to her was the moment of the fight. Once you become a template, you will be able to fight without grudge from then on. I would fight without hesitation to kill the beast.

As Templar operated internationally, once it started its mission, it would be dispatched to outlaw vulnerable areas around the world, leaving Korea, a safe zone.

Therefore, there will be no return to Korea. Aran doesn't think much of it because there is no obsession or sense of reason. Since I studied English at the crack of the day, I did not have a big problem communicating.

We're leaving Korea now. She stepped out of the cafe, killing time, and if things go south, she went outside thinking of participating.

- My daughter.

As he opened the door with the bell, there was a man who looked like he was in his late twenties in a suit smiling at him.

“Hello."

“ ……. What? ”

Seo Aran forgot her words for a moment. He took out his business card and gave it to her.

“Can I talk to you for a second? ”

The business card said 'Hero Management' and 'Choi Jun'. Aran stares at it dazed for a moment. She was templar aspiring, so management had no reason to contact her. After a while, Aran replied with a voice that seemed to be possessed by something.

“Yes.”

“Yes?”

I was embarrassed by it. Rather, it was Choi Jun who spoke first.

Awakenings, mutants, knights, Pure Hunters, whatever. Talent is usually divided into two categories, taking into consideration the presence or absence of talent.

Who wants to make a lot of money.

Or a monster hater.

Seo Aran belonged to the latter.

Now, in an incident four years ago called "The Great Depression," she lost her whole family. The contents of the incident in Jecheon were simple. There was a Class C dungeon underground in the Abandoned Construction, and the surrounding wide wavelength detector did not detect the dungeon wavelength.

It's a dungeon underground, and the broad wave detector malfunctioned.

Only two coincidences overlapped. The wide-area wavelength detectors installed on the ceiling were not manufactured to the specifications, and the failure was no different from what was anticipated because they exchanged parts from the vendors. Later, Jecheon was also called talent, but at that time it was only the result.

It took two days for a Class C dungeon to be reinforced by the beast and reappeared in reality. Class C dungeon monsters appeared suddenly and unexpectedly reinforced with A-rank monsters.

I swept the entire city of Jecheon thoroughly.

She was just a freshman in middle school at the time. At the end of the sunset, she saw loud noises and screams.

“Monsters!”

“Run!”

“Hunters! Hunters! ”

- Quack, quack!

Watching the person burst and crumble like a strappy doll, she froze and couldn't move properly. Hunters and soldiers in Jecheon struggled with the sudden emergence of the A-rank monsters, and all died. When they were unprepared, monsters robbed people of their lives so easily.

Unfortunately, Aran's parents were in front of the school to pick her up. They're already getting out of the car and running to Aran.

“Aran! Run! ”

Mom and Dad ran into a burinake.

- Qasim!

A giant beast like a wild dog flew at a tremendous speed, biting and shaking her waist.

- Puck!

He kicked his front foot and bandaged the sky and flew. Aran saw it clearly in front of his eyes. Mother sagged to see if her bones were crushed all over her body, and Father fell down and lightly torn in half by another giant wild dog.

Aran stands dumbfounded, unable to scream at the surreal sight.

“Uh, uh... ”

What the hell is going on?

All I could think about was this.

“Run!”

“Individuals, please follow evacuation instructions! ”

Immediately, a troop dispatched out of the truck and baptized the heavy artillery. The city of Jecheon was Abigail.

- Boom, boom!

The machine gun fires and launches directly into the beast's body. But the A rank monster only staggers for a moment, waiting for the saturation to stop. It was a moment when I saw with my own eyes that it was difficult to deal heavy damage to monsters above the A rank.

Aran runs back without thinking. Strangely, there were no tears, and I just had a vague idea that this wasn't real. Dispatched troops have already been knocked down by the incoming attack by monsters in rank A.

Above all, Wyvern, who was the dungeon boss, became as massive as the City Hall, and was graded as S rank by a postassessment.

Despite the sudden deployment of troops to the Emperor, it took time for them to arrive, and students and school officials, including Aran, were forced to hide in bunkers set up underground and pray to heaven that monsters would not come.

“Huff, huff! ”

“Yeran…. Yeran is dead.... ”

“What are Hunters doing! They're here for this! ”

The people in the underground bunker cry out, cursing hunters, soldiers, and the world. The school bunker wasn't built very carefully, and although it was underground, the steel gate would be brutally ripped out in front of the beast's power.

A long time ago, the shooting stopped. That meant one thing.

That meant the army had fallen. They didn't say anything.

[Currently, military forces and Hunter First Aid Task Force are on the move at the scene for the monster incident in Jecheon. Citizens of Jecheon, who are watching the broadcast right now, please hide in the bunker and never open the door until the situation is resolved. The situation will be resolved soon.]

Military officials appeared on the breaking news and briefed, but the beast was close and there was no gunfire.
