The Returner

3. What have you summoned? (1)

The rain of flames settles on the floor in splendor.

Seeing that scene, Myung-hoon Kwak lost his mind.

You don't think there are people at all?

“I'm dying! ”

Myung-hoon Kwak screams in despair. Lee Hyuk, the only human who could help in the same situation, laughed and laughed.

“Don't get involved with NDF humans because they're all idiots. Don't mix words! ”

‘I should have listened to you. ’

Ordinary people find something a little strange in their abilities. One by one, it shows a slightly different mindset than ordinary humans, gaining power that is not human.

But…….

The NDF humans were just like them, to the average talent.

Each of these things is twisted even in the eyes of the powerful. And those at the top were Lee Hyuk and Seo Ah-young.

Since the days of the former KSF, Seo Ah-young was considered to be the number 1 fugitive who should never be united, and Lee Hyuk suddenly appeared like a comet and became the biggest lunatic in history, who turned Seo-young into a mediocre power A.

I shouldn't have gotten involved! ’

You said you wouldn't know unless you shut up.

Why did you provoke Yi Hyuk who was doing well?

As soon as I found out that I was involved with Lee Hyuk, I should have run away without looking back...

However, regrets were slow no matter how fast.

Myung-hoon Kwak opens his eyes to see the rain of flames falling over his head.

After barely escaping the near-death crisis by the monsters, people are now going to die.

“Ahhhh!”

As the flame almost descended to the ground, a scream erupted from his mouth.

“That guy's scared, too. ”

I heard the sound of kicking his tongue, and Lee Hyuk jumped right over Myung Hun's head.

Then he starts shaking his hands at the falling flames.

"Ah!"

I did.

It was Lee Hyuk who was with him.

He is the world's most noteworthy and powerful person. He's got a guy like that with him. He's about this big!

“Arthurst!”

“Phew.”

He swings his arm forcefully, but the flame pierces effortlessly, then strikes Lee Hyuk's body.

Lee Hyuk's whole body was engulfed in flames, and he fell and began rolling the floor.

It rides well.

I think it smells nasty, too.

“Oh, it's hot! ”

“ ……. ”

You're a good talker.

Don't people usually talk that well when they're on fire?

“Wow, this... isn't like Mana, is it? ”

Lee Hyuk's figure was on fire, but he stood up and shook his head.

“Y-you okay? ”

“Well, that's fine. ”

“I'm still riding. ”

“Yes?”

Lee Hyuk looked down at his body and his face became dull.

“Ahhhh! Seo Ah Young! Turn this off! ”

Seo Ah-young kicked her tongue with a rotten face.

“Go to hell.”

“That bitch?”

Lee Hyuk opened his eyes.

“Well, if you can figure it out, you have to do it yourself! What am I supposed to do with one shot? ”

“I wouldn't say this if I could figure it out on my own! ”

“Why not! ”

“Mana shouldn't use it! ”

“What did he say?”

Lee Hyuk wanted to run to Seo Ah-young right away and start with the differences between Manawa and Ether and teach her why she shouldn't use Mana.

Lee Hyuk was able to endure the urge to engrave the perfect knowledge that would never be forgotten in her stiff head.

Oh, this is not the time.

My body is burning...

“Suck!”

The air gusts out slightly and the flames bounce off.

Using Mana should be a lot simpler, but we can't just use our own irreplaceable Mana.

Especially with these mobs.

“Ahhhh!”

“Huh? What? ”

Immediately, Lee Hyuk turned his head to the screams that erupted from his side. Then, there, I saw Myung-hoon Kwak rolling the floor against the flames of Lee Hyuk.

“He's really going for it. Are you okay? ”

“Turn off the lights and ask me if I'm okay, you lunatic! ”

“... I'm a person, too. Would you like to hear that and turn it off? You have to be polite to ask people for favors! ”

“This dog……. ”

As Myung-hoon Kwak tried to breathe, Lee Hyuk kicked his tongue, kicking off his hands and gushing out the ether.

But we have to save lives.

Whew!

The wind blows loudly and the flame that was attached to Myung-hoon Kwak's body blows away.

“Ugh... ”

Myung-hoon Kwak looks at his body and is bored.

What the hell do I look like I'm dealing with these maniacs?

“You okay?"

“ ……. ”

“You asked me to turn off the lights. ”

“… that's okay. ”

I'd be better off without you.

Myung-hoon Kwak gripped his teeth while desperately swallowing the hind horse.

I will never forget this day. I have to remember it clearly and spread it to KSF.

You have to tell me exactly what happens when you get involved with a human called Lee Hyuk. That was his duty.

“Do you have time to play? ”

You just have to tell them to move fast, 'cause that's how they twist the rain.

Lee Hyuk looked at Seo Ah-young and made an impression.

I don't think it was that bad at first, but I don't know why people keep turning to hate.

Is there a cause?

Me?

What did I do?

When Lee Hyuk snorted, Myung-hoon Kwak looked around frantically.

What's going on? ’

It should have been less than 10 minutes since the gate opened. Support has not yet arrived from the nearest KSF branch.

But how did NDF get there so fast?

It wasn't just the two of them.

Lee Hyuk smiled at them.

“Are you free? And they're all coming? ”

“Free. You're not having an accident. ”

“I had an accident! ”

“… I don't think you were in an accident. There's no bizarre incident going on around you, so I'll just say I'm free. ”

You want me to hit you?

When Lee Hyuk was considering whether he could win against Seo Ah-young without using Mana, Myung-hoon Kwak shouted.

“What are you doing?! People are getting hurt while we're at it! Do you have time to hang out? ”

Lee Hyuk stared at Myung-hoon.

This guy, he didn't say that when he was on fire a minute ago.

“Man's got to be about the meadow. ”

Tsk, tsk.

Lee Hyuk shook his head, but Seo Ah-young's response was different.

“Really?"

“Yes!”

“So who are you? ”

“Yes?”

“So who are you? Which branch?”

“... It's Gangbuk Equity. ”

“Then call the Gangbuk branch office and have them come out within five minutes. ”

How is that even possible? I know where we are!

How did you get here in five minutes from one station without a teleporter?

“No, why…. ”

“It's a waste of heart to hit someone with my hands who doesn't know his boss and is screaming from scratch. ”

“Is that important right now? ”

“Well, when does it matter? ”

“People are dying. ”

Seo Ah Young smiled.

“Hey, you. ”

“… Yes? ”

“You don't have to pretend to care about the world all by yourself. We've seen enough. NDF doesn't think this is all of it, does it? Everyone else is in charge of evacuating people. Do you understand?”

“Ah……. ”

Yeah, well, they couldn't have gone to waste like that.

“And what did you say? ”

Kwak Myung-hoon looked at Lee Hyuk with excited eyes, but Lee Hyuk disobeyed Lee Myung-hoon's expectations as if it were natural.

“No, I didn't do it because I was really annoyed. ”

“ ……. ”

What, there's all this shit?

Lee Hyuk shrugged his shoulders as he looked at the alien.

“Well, it could be. ”

Myung-hoon Kwak couldn't understand the human being called Lee Lee Lee Hyuk. What is the meaning of this Human being?

“What are you doing with a gate this fast! ”

As Seo Ah-young shouted, Lee Hyuk stared at her dazed.

“Since when does it make sense for me to take care of the gate? ”

“We'll do it anyway, it's nice and comfortable with each other in advance. You have too long a story. ”

“ ……. ”

It was a strange situation, which was frustrating and irritating, but not refuting well. Lee Hyuk tried to open his mouth, but Seo Ah-young's interest was already going somewhere else.

“Let's get this over with! That's right, people. Every building you break down is taxable. Get it done. ”

“Yes!”

With resolute answers, the NDFs are scattered everywhere.

“Haha!”

Seo Ah-young gathers the ether in excellence to make a gathering fire and throws it into the entrance of the gate where the monsters protrude.

Glug glug!

A huge flame rises.

Seo Ah-young nodded, watching the scene.

It's a monster coming out of the gate. Now she can clean it up.

The problem was getting rid of the scattered monsters one by one.

It was several times harder than dealing with a group of monsters.

“It would have been a lot easier if we had just blocked it at the entrance. ”

Who are you telling to listen to?

Lee Hyuk started crying.

“Is it my fault? Is it my fault? Am I the only bad guy? Am I the only one that's gonna kill you? You should be thankful to work after work! That's why you're the boss! ”

“There's no commuting to Korea, commuting! Will you be done when you get home? You don't finish work until you leave, so don't even think about it! ”

“Ha, helicopter class. ”

Lee Hyuk shook his head.

It was naive when I thought everything would be resolved after work. This country and the workplace do not let go of those who have left work.

“Anyway, can I go now? ”

“Knng... ”

Seo Ah-young stared at Lee Hyuk with annoying eyes.

Is it time for a little snooze? ’

Seems like she and the others are starting to get on their nerves.

Well, you have to understand.

People are a trait when they climb up well. I've been good to you lately.

Then it's time to regain our strength....

Whoo-hoo!

However, Seo Ah-young seemed to have a different kind of spirit.

The gate has begun to rumble.

“Hmm?"

Seo Ah-young looks at the gate with tense eyes.

A gateway like a comprehensive gift set. I didn't think giant monsters would come out, but they didn't.

“What's coming out? ”

“I don't know. ”

Lee Hyuk whistled.

“Be prepared! I feel like there's something big going on. ”

“Well, yeah. ”

Lee Hyuk stepped back volatilly.

“... Where are you going? ”

“Hey, you said it. ”

Lee Hyuk smiled.

“I'm off work. Chuckle.”

Lee Hyuk vigorously started running in the opposite direction of the gate.

“I, I……! ”

Seo Ah-young laughed and shouted behind Lee Hyuk's back who was running away.

“Go away, you burn! ”

Lee Hyuk turned around and said with a stiff face.

“I'll tell you if the cowardly subordinates won't tell you. ”

“Huh?"

“Work is more important than life. ”

“ ……. ”

“Farewell. ”

Looking at Lee Hyuk's back, Seo Ah-young shouted.

“Hey! Are you really going? ”

However, Lee Hyuk did not look back.

“... Well, there really are all those people, aren't there? ”

It was Seo Ah-young who saw Sae Sam Lee Hyuk again.
