Swordmaster Healer

Chapter 33 Winter Monarch (3)

“Cough!”

And I vomited a short groan. Seong-jun was in a hurry to live. The interrupted man raises his head with difficulty.

Even though Seong-jun had received a full life sentence, there was little change in his expression.

“Park Jang-hoon has lost. If we keep going, he'll get stubborn and die. ”

“What's your name? ”

“My name is Yoo Shin-cheol. ”

Seong-jun narrowed his eyes and looked at him. The item in the robe was clearly a magical hunter.

“It must have been hard to survive for a while... but you look so peaceful. ”

“I was able to endure it temporarily, but with magical powers. ”

In Shin-cheol's answer, Seong-jun made an interesting face. Magic stimulates the mind and keeps you alive? It was a fun response.

“Bourne had an accident. I'll brief you in the evening. Are you sure?”

Seong-jun looked at Cha-hyun and asked. Cha-hyun nodded instead of answering. Soon, Seong-jun's gaze turned back on Shin-cheol.

“Are you a friend?”

“I can see that. We've known each other since we were kids. ”

“You'd better warn them properly. If something like this happens at the Raid site, you can't guarantee your life. ”

Seong-jun said. Shin-chul nodded with a meaningful smile as if he understood much of what he had to say.

“If I don't warn you, I won't treat Kang Sung-joon anymore. He's a weak friend to a strong man. ”

“Well, that's a relief. ”

Seong-jun took a step behind them.

“Is that a Class S Hunter's life...? ”

“I thought I was going to die. ”

“That sounds amazing. ”

In the background, I heard a voice admiring Seong-jun's skill. He left the building with a faint smile on his mouth and returned to his quarters.

- I think the magical hunter, Shin-cheol, has good sense.

Rishbalt spoke with fear of returning to his quarters. Since Seong-jun was the same idea, I nodded and opened my mouth.

“Well, it's not easy to stimulate the mind with magic. ”

There were not many magic and buffs that stimulated the body with magic, but there were not many types that strengthened the mind.

The mind was delicate compared to the body, so magical stimulation was tricky.

- You seem to have an excellent sense of magic.

“Yeah, maybe he has the makings of an S-rank hunter. ”

- Do you want to take a look?

At Rishbalt's question, Seong-jun nodded.

“I don't know what happens to people...... I could lead the guild, right? ”

I was more likely to lead the guild in the near future.

If you decide, you can build a guild with the support of the Blue Dragon Group through Seola.

And if there is an all-out war with this world, it would be better to have at least one bodyguard that can be used as a hand and foot.

- Are you preparing for an all-out war against this world?

“I wish it didn't have to happen...... but if it comes this way, we'll have to clean it up. ”

Several incidents were indirectly telling of the two sides' invasion. Seong-jun didn't want that to happen, but if the Emperor's army sets foot on Earth, he was happy to face it.

Time passed and it became evening. After finishing dinner, Cha Hyun arrived with a message that the briefing time had been rescheduled.

- Are you the Lease Hyun Team Leader?

“An hour later, right there. ”

- Given the Lord's walking speed, it's probably best to move now, assuming he doesn't run.

“They're sending a car. ”

When I arrived at my accommodation, I found a car waiting for me first. Chahyun was checking the chart in front of the black sedan and the driver was riding inside.

“There you are. Do you mind if we move on?" ”

Cha Hyun asked politely. Seong-jun boarded the car instead of answering. Cha-hyun boarded the passenger seat and the driver left the car.

Soon after the car stopped, Seong-jun got off first and stepped towards the building.

“Be gentle this time! ”

Following Seong-jun, Cha-hyun shouted. Seong-jun waved his hand instead of answering, and went inside. Everyone's gaze was focused on him.

Seong-jun went and stood in front of the hunters. Then you sweep through the hunters. I don't know if it was because of what happened this morning, but I didn't feel any rebellious gaze.

Zhang Hun and Shin-Chul met, but they only smiled meaningfully and did not provoke any.

“Nice to see you again. Class S Hunter Kang Sung-jun. ”

Seong-jun said with a soft smile. I tried to create a light atmosphere, but the hunters were stiff because of what happened this morning.

While everyone was keeping quiet, someone got up and started clapping.

“Now, this isn't the first time I've met you, but since you're in labor, shouldn't you clap your hands?" ”

Zhang Hun then joined the other hunters as he started clapping his hands lightly. Seeing that, Seong-jun shook his head with a smile.

‘Was it like this...? ’

I thought I knew a little what Shin-cheol meant when he said that Jang-hoon would no longer be hostile.

- I think I know. Even the Empire is prone to knights from the Slum. They're rebellious, but they've been very thoroughly discriminating and following the strong.

Seong-jun nodded instead of answering.

In a slum where the security of the Empire is not within reach, everything was decided by fists rather than by law. So it was natural to follow the strong.

As Rishwald said, Zhang Hun was more of an Imperial slum than a modern man. And Seong-jun did not hate that class. Because he's always been the strong one.

“Is everyone's name over? ”

Cha Hyun carefully asked, looking at the atmosphere.

“Looks like we're done here. ”

“If you'll excuse me for a moment. ”

Chahyun, who was holding the chart, stepped forward.

“Hunter in the back? Can you turn on the beam projector?”

When the hunter who was sitting near the beam projector pressed the power button, Chahyun smiled and opened his mouth.

“Thank you. Gosh, I was holding the remote. ”

He slowly realizes the existence of the remote he was holding. The screen flipped over as I manipulated the remote control.

“Your team name is Alpha Team 2. Alpha team takes charge of attack for dimensional Gateway destruction and beta team stops battlefield expansion. If you don't understand anything, please tell us. Raise your hand and ask questions. ”

There was no hunter to raise his hand, and Cha Hyun opened his mouth again to continue explaining.

“Very well. As you all know, Team Leader Kang Sung-joon, a Class S Hunter, is in charge, and all Hunters in the team will receive an additional 10% commission provided that they are well controlled. ”

The Dungeon Administration's Raid Situation Room anticipated a minimum Class S Raid situation. There was a penalty for settlement unless it was a Raid situation or a dungeon equivalent, but it was still a Class A or B Hunter, so the settlement would be large.

“Again, the goal of the Alpha team is to close and destroy the Dimensional Gateway. The beta team will stop the battlefield expansion. ”

“Are there any risk benefits? ”

“You were educated when you became a hunter, but the risk allowance is included in the settlement. ”

It was a joking mixture of questions, but Cha Hyun took it gently.

“Raid Situation Room reports that the three places marked are the most likely to open a dimensional gateway. ”

Three red dots were highlighted on the map that appeared on the screen.

“Na Jun-sul's Alpha Team 1 is going to point A. Eun Joo Choi's Alpha Team 3 branch C. And Kang Sung-joon's Alpha 2 team will take point B. ”

Chahyun also outlined the operation, emphasizing the red dots with his beams. Thanks to the easy explanation, everyone understood quickly.

“Let's hear Kang Sung-jun's final move as team leader. ”

Cha Hyun stepped back and Seong-jun stepped forward.

“I won't be long. Follow my instructions. It's going to be okay."

The meaning was brief but clearly conveyed. The hunters weren't impressed, but they were clapping for a while.

“You won't believe me right now. I won't force you, but I want you to make a wise choice. ”

Since I had seen Seong-jun's strength with my own eyes, many hunters applauded in harmony, but it was not enough to gain complete trust.

However, Seong-jun did not care much. I thought it was enough to get this much response. Trouble with Zhang Hun helped. The rest is to drive trust in the field.

“I'll prove it at the scene. That's it."

Seong-jun took a step back, finishing his speech. Soon, Cha Hyun's gaze turned towards Seong-jun.

“Sung-jun Kang. ”

Cha-hyun's expression was stiff. Seong-jun was able to guess the reason without difficulty.

“Is the Dimensional Gateway open? ”

“Yes, I think you should go to Command right away. ”

“I understand.”

Seong-jun nodded and left the building first, and Cha-hyun opened his mouth to the other hunters.

“Wait here for now. You should receive this message shortly. ”

Seong-jun and Cha-hyun drove to the command. Command already has a group of team leader hunters.

“The operation is simple. While the army and beta teams are preventing the spread of the batteries, the Alpha team can close the Dimensional Gateway. ”

There was nothing special about the request for cooperation, so it was easy to understand.

“The communication is over. From now on, Operation Winter Monarch will be appointed. Please make your move immediately. ”

The Team Leader Hunters took steps to move to their respective teams. Seong-jun felt a backward march and stopped walking.

“Na Jun-sul? ”

“I'll take good care of you this time. ”

Semi-heath lowered her head slightly and moved away from Seong-jun.

“Are you moving to your vehicle? ”

Seong-jun asked while looking at Cha-hyun who was approaching right next to him. Chahyun shakes his head and opens his mouth.

“Let's get to the chopper. A fleet of fighters will escort you. And I'm going with Alpha Team Two to do a field survey. ”

A large-scale Class S Raid situation was not frequent. The Bureau seemed to have decided to send an investigator to gather enough data.

Seong-jun joined the alpha team and headed to the airfield. The Chinook helicopter is standing by. After all Alpha Team 2 boarded, Chinook took off with an attack helicopter squadron.

“Sung-jun Kang. ”

Immediately after taking off, Cha Hyun, who saw a message, looked towards Seong-jun.

“Operation has been modified. We don't go to point B.” What do you mean? ”

“Goal is moving, dimensional gateway. ”
