History's Strongest Manager

Crisis day five.

The subspace of government abandoned areas was liberated by sequentially reaching the destruction sequence. The destruction by the monsters inside caused the building to be destroyed, and the ground turned upside down, and there were one or two ruins in the area in an instant.

The evacuees were forced to shed tears. However, the citizens' mouths were sealed under the rules. The Awakeners were fortunately given enough time to rest in the rotation, and they were all put back into the field, restoring a short amount of sleep.

The hourly subspace incidence has already exceeded 200 cases. Other than suppressing cores and dungeons that occurred in abandoned areas, there were no people in the ruins. It may have been that someone who could not have avoided it, but the death of someone who was invisible was not recorded anywhere.

The buildings and buildings that people built were collapsing in a single moment, and those ruins were forming in the three abandoned spheres.

People were saying that it was only a matter of two days. But at the same time, the voice of concern that it should not be so comfortable grew at the same time. Just now, the H-1 team was on the move after clearing another C-rank subspace.

Aran had already seen aerial imagery of nearby Seoul, which had become a landscape. I'm not dying because I lost my life. Thousands of people would lose their homes, lose their foundations, and lose their will. Isn't this death? Aran does not conceal his frustration with the idea of continuing.

“Why is this happening? ”

No one could say anything about it. Why do monsters appear, why do people sacrifice, and why do people have to shed tears? No one could answer that. However, Kang Jun muttered in a sad voice.

“I think you're angry. Aran.”

“... I'm angry, but I don't know where to be angry. ”

“I like being angry. But... um... No, it's not.”

Kang Jun said that and then froze.

“Me too.... I don't feel so good. ”

After all, the subspace has now begun to scar the earth. While the Hunter Team's relaxation seems to be getting better and better, it's still unclear as to whether Chrysis is really going to stop it in the next two days.

“We have to give up one more. ”

“Three spheres have already been harpooned. You mean we give up one more here? ”

The President was appalled at Maria's words.

“As the incidence of subspace above the S rank increases, there is no time for top personnel to relax. At this rate, if an SSS rank explodes, there will be massive casualties. ”

Maria is poorly washed and has bloodshot eyes. She hasn't made eye contact since the beginning of the operation. It was the same for Arslan, the archtemplar. Even Knights with tremendous stamina complained of fatigue, and now this situation was hopeless.

We have to give up one more. The main gate felt that the situation was getting worse and worse. Property losses were fearful to measure, and enormous public funds would be put into the reconstruction process. And there was inevitably a political attack.

‘We need to be prepared. ’

The main gate already had a place in mind if there was one more place to give up.

“I'll have a silver plateau. ”

The president was looking closely at the map of Eunpyeong-gu rising on the screen. There were already a number of places to call in order to select a reconstructor and proceed with the construction.

As she leaves the conference room, the back of her neck grows stifling.

It's been a long time since she's been in such a violent battle. The cyclone team was holding out well, but after defeating subspace of S and SS ranks several times, they were surrounded to the extreme. People were going crazy because of the stress, and they could explode even if they touched it.

Maria checks the messages on her phone.

[I reviewed the narrator you mentioned the other day.]

It was a reply from Bradley.

[Addiction is an aversion to weak will.]

Mary did not disagree with Bradley about what Bradley said. Energy crystal addiction is also serious, but relying on it in the first place proves its weakness. Union didn't even get a new member, but he was no longer looking for an addict.

[Contact and check for addiction. And eliminate them if necessary.]

The message was over.

“ ……. ”

Maria did not expect a prudent Bradley to come out of the case. But I never thought I'd say to get rid of it like this. Choi told me to leave the judgment to Union, but I didn't see any comment.

Maria asked the officials where Jinyuna was, and found out where she was waiting and headed there. Even if I don't contact him right away, I'm still trying to figure out what's going on. Jinyuna was resting in a private waiting room on one side.

- Knock, knock.

Maria knocks and carefully enters the room. Inside, there was only Jin Yoona. She also bows her head, not knowing Maria. Maria greets you, too, and then comes to the point.

“What's the matter...? ”

After placing herself on top of the squadron and arriving directly to the paladin, Jin Yuna stares at her with a firm look. Maria approaches Jin Yuna without saying anything and hears her laugh.

“Ugh! What are you doing...! ”

“That's serious.”

Maria said briefly when she saw the blue veins on the side of Jinyuna's stomach. It meant that the symptoms of addiction were already severe enough for the skin to be effective. Jinyuna's eyes widen as Maria shows up suddenly knowing her condition.

“W-we can't.... Are you?”

“We'll talk about that later, but first we need to talk about something more important. ”

Maria sits in front of JinYuna, twisting her legs and crossing her arms. Maria ponders for a moment. This level of severe addiction cannot be cured.

But it wasn't so easy to fix. And Maria confirmed that the symptoms of Jinyuna's addiction had gone too far to cure. Mary didn't wonder how she got here and when she started showing symptoms of addiction.

However, I only confirmed the results that Jinyuna could not recover.

“Escape.”

Jinyuna was astonished by the nonsense.

“W-what... What the hell are you talking about? ”

“If we continue to be involved in this, even greater catastrophes may occur. Because of you.”

During the hunt, if an awakener like Jinyuk or some other awakener outsides it, the situation grows uncontrollably.

“But…. Wouldn't it be more dangerous if I fell into this situation? ”

“No, I hate to put myself at risk. Whether you're running away or faking your sickness, get out of here first. ”

One minute before disaster and sacrifice is always peaceful. No one knew whether this was a minute before the catastrophe. Jinyuna understood Maria's sudden words, but was hesitant.

In the current situation, the government had no reason to let her off easy. Her career is over here if she tries to run away from the situation. Everything she had built was gone, and she would be remembered as a fugitive.

“There aren't many options. Either you flee, or I stab the government to see that you're an addict, or you die right here on my hands. ”

Maria was telling the truth. Even Mary, the strongest of all, was saying that her level could kill her in any way.

“Are you threatening me? ”

Seeing JinYuna's anxious appearance as if she knew about it, she smiled tiredly.

“You don't like the way we do things? ”

Maria said, empowering a word.

“But you're the one who asked for help. You know we're not a gentlemen's group. We don't have enough time to care about one Awakened who's struggling with an energy crystal addiction. ”

Considering the explosives, they found us. That's what Maria said.

If I didn't know Jinyuna was an addict, I would have gone unnoticed, but I couldn't let go of what I had learned. Maria honestly thinks a kill order will be issued.

“Getting hurt.... Can't I?”

She had a lot in her hand, and she didn't want to throw it all away because she used the worst number of deserts.

“I told you, I don't want to risk it. What if you get hurt and you have a stress seizure? ”

Jinyuna was in an unstable state and could not rule out the possibility of seizures due to bleeding or forced injuries. In the end, Maria was forced to force Jin Yuna to choose to flee. Maria never intended to retreat from this situation.

It was no use holding a time bomb and continuing the operation in the event of an outburst.

Jinyuna was forced to choose to give up everything, on the road to nowhere else. Mary, however, was conceding to Maria.

According to the order, Maria now had to kill Jinyuna. However, when I told him to flee, he meant to leave the situation and wait for further action. Bradley considered Jinyuna a threat. Once the threat was removed from the operation, Maria took flexible action.

But in order to do that, Jinyuna had to make the extreme choice of deserting.

“I can't.... Nothing.”

Jinyuna could only say that after thinking about it. Maria's eyebrows twitch for a moment.

“It's been so hard coming up here... I did... I can't. Desertion, at least. At least I... I don't want people to remember me that way.... ”

Jinyuna's eyes turned red, trembling with her fists.

“You're playing.”

“Excuse me?”

“Playing and falling, is your head a flower field now? ”

In Mary's harsh words, Jinyuna also gripped it.

“What do you know! How hard I've been.... You know what I survived to get up here? I'm supposed to just drop it in your mouth and run? Would you do that? ”

“I think you're mistaken. ”

Maria gets up from her seat and looks down at Jinyuna.

“Do you think I'm asking you now? ”

Mary's eyes, filled with life, were enough to dull JinYuna's filth. Maria wipes all the books she had painted from her head.

“You don't seem to have any idea how many lives you're trying to take... One last warning. Stop all missions at once, unless you want to see someone get hurt. ”

“You have no right to order me around union or anything like that! ”

Jin Yuna regretted trying to find Union. They never intended to be allies, but rather threatened her. Maria sighs, seeing her like that.

“I'll tell you the truth, I don't think you can talk. ”

- Premature.

Maria starts talking to the radio.

“This is Maria. Report to HQ.”

“Well, well! What the hell are you doing? ”

Jinyuna thought about it, but Maria said without caring.

“At present, SSrank Awakener Jinyuna has seen signs of severe ethel intoxication. ”

“What are you doing! ”

“Therefore, I will take immediate action. More than.”

- Chit.

After disconnecting the radio, Maria looks at Jinyuna with ridicule.

“I guess we have no choice but to flee now. ”

If we knew the condition of Jin Yuna now, we would have to restrain or dispose of her immediately, even if it wasn't Union. It was not just Union.

Jinyuna was oppressed by anyone now.

Maria activates Ethel Sword with a waist dance. The white energy was intimidating in front of Jin Yuna's eyes.

“You shouldn't have understood me when I said that. ”

Maria was no longer willing to show mercy.
