Chapter 6: (2): Season 1 Preparation


    There was no time to hesitate or ponder. Just a moment ago, Min-soo was yfully swinging from Hyun-seoks legs with a carefree smile, but now he was already in tears. Even the teachers were frozen in ce, unable to move properly, let alone the children.


    This is insane!


    Hyun-seok was not a saintly figure, but rather the type to take action in situations that would benefit him and avoid those that wouldnt. He would weigh the pros and cons before making a move. However, in this dire situation, he had no choice but to take action. He activated the battlefield without hesitation.


    The battlefield was not visible to others. Only the person who activated it could sense its presence, like a notification sound that only they could hear. And only the yers within the battlefield could feel its effects.


    Hyun-seok charged forward in aically awkward manner. He couldnt control his strength properly, so he stumbled andnded in a strange position. Even though he tried to run gently, he still managed to cover more than 3 meters in a single step. His jump height was over 2 meters.


    As he ran towards the monster, he sensed another battlefield being activated.


    Kang Pyeong-hwa?


    Kang Pyeong-hwa was the woman who had beente earlier. Hyun-seok didnt know, but it seemed she was also a yer. However, like Hyun-seok, she was a novice who didnt know what to do after activating the battlefield. She looked visibly frightened, perhaps because she had never used her yer powers before.


    Fortunately, the monster was only targeting Kang Pyeong-hwa, so at least the children hadnt been hurt yet. Hyun-seok shouted, What are you doing? Hurry and evacuate the children! His voice echoed like a dozen megaphones orrge speakers put together. The startled teachers quickly gathered their wits and began evacuating the children into the building.


    The monster also reacted to Hyun-seoks voice. The monster, who had been rushing towards Kang Pyeong-hwa without a second thought, stopped for a moment and snarled at Hyun-seok. Hyun-seok was in a state of extreme tension. He had the skills of a monster, with all his abilities reaching 100, but this was his first real battle. Besides, he had never intended to live as a yer. The monsters saliva dripped as it took on the appearance of rushing forward before suddenly barking loudly.


    Its noting at me?


    Kang Pyeong-hwa copsed to the ground and burst into tears. In fact, that alone wasmendable. If there had been any room to spare, he would have wanted to praise her for it. She had attracted the monsters attention by opening up the battlefield, but thanks to that, the children were not hurt. Hyun-seok was facing the monster, paying no attention to what Kang Pyeong-hwa was doing.


    Honestly, he was scared. Not just a little scared, but very scared. It was a monster, not just arge dog with rabies. This thing wasnt even a monster with a shield on its body. Its fierce demeanor was even more terrifying than a vicious dog. His legs trembled with fear.


    About 30 seconds passed. And Hyun-seok could feel it.


    Is it afraid of me?


    He had heard somewhere that barking dogs dont bite. He had also heard that really dangerous dogs dont bark, and that scared dogs bark loudly. Whether or not this was true, the longer the time passed, the more the monster seemed to be losing its spirit.


    Should I attack it?


    A lot of thoughts crossed his mind in an instant. However, he couldnt move recklessly. He couldnt control his strength and had no experience. It had been very difficult just getting here. But the monster seemed to be getting weaker as time passed.


    At that moment, three ck coupes raced toward the battlefield. Someone got out.


    Hey, you reckless punk!


    Hyun-seoks legs nearly gave way in relief when he recognized the neer. It was Jong-won, a member of the IUET guild operated by Hanjae Corporation, one of the leading conglomerates in Korea. With a guild that ranked among the top five in the country, dealing with monsters like these should be a breeze.


    And indeed it was. The six yers who stepped out of the car calmly and deliberately began to attack the monsters, equipped with sturdy protective gear. Jong-won had suffered a few blows, but his armor was thick enough to keep him from getting hurt.


    After about thirty minutes, the shield surrounding the monster shattered, and it was quickly defeated by the yers coordinated attacks, leaving behind magic stone and monster meat.


    Did you get hurt anywhere?


    Park Sung-hyung, the leader of IUET, politely inquired of Hyun-seok, his Busan ent strong. His eyes exuded confidence and an imposing presence. Hyun-seok didnt know he was talking to the leader of IUET, but he could tell he wasnt dealing with an ordinary person.


    Noum, thank you.


    We got lucky. Thank goodness.


    From Park Sung-hyungs perspective, luck was on their side. Some rookies in the guild get so carried away with the rush of bing a yer that they recklessly charge at monsters. But bing a yer doesnt automatically make one a hero. It simply means they can easily break through shields and slightly improve their physical abilities. So from Park Sung-hyungs point of view, it was fortunate that the monster didnt attack Hyun-seok. At least thats how it seemed to him.


    Its strange, really strange. Why didnt it attack?


    Monsters that harbor animosity towards humans typically engage in indiscriminate attacks against them.


    Well theres no harm in investigating.


    Even if it wasnt a significant issue, all battles with monsters were recorded as videos. This was to identify their characteristics and behaviors and gather data. The fact that a monster with a grudge against humans didnt charge at them was undoubtedly worth investigating.


    Park Sung-hyung asked, It hasnt been long since you awakened as a yer, right?


    Uh, yeah well, its not like Im going to live my life as a yer anyway.


    I see.


    While being a yer may be an object of admiration for children, it is not a highly respected profession. Even if it could earn you a considerable amount of money based on your abilities, it was no different from a life insurance payout. Therefore, many people with good jobs awakened as yers but did not necessarily choose it as their profession. Understanding the situation, Park Sung-hyung nodded.


    Jong-won said, Captain, Im friends with this guy. Can I talk to him for a moment?


    Sure. You must have been quite surprised, so take care of him.


    Since there wasnt a set work schedule, Sung-hyung nodded his head, and Jong-won was left behind. Jong-won shouted out loud, This crazy bastard!


    He struck Hyun-seok on the back of his head. Thump! A sound was heard.


    Sh*t


    It was Jong-won who cursed.


    My finger must be broken.


    The battlefield was still unfolding. Due to its sticity, Jong-wons middle finger was swollen. If Park Sung-hyung had seen it, he would have been incredibly suspicious, but fortunately (?) there was no one around.


    Unexpectedly, Hyun-seok made Jong-wons fingerpletely crooked, which made him rub the back of his head. He felt a little guilty when he saw Jong-wons finger, which had swollen in an instant, although he was a well-known yer. Despite receiving a blow to the back of his head, Hyun-seok asked seriously, without feeling any pain.


    Is this a situation where I should apologize, its a bit confusing


    I dont know, you bastard. It seems broken.


    What kind of reaction force is like this? You bastard.? Hyun-seok said calmly.


    Just get healed by a recovery yer. Isnt it a trivial matter to make a fuss about?


    Jong-won, a closebat yer of the guild IUET, which is within the top five guilds in South Korea,ined.


    You bastard, you messed with my finger and now youre saying that?


    Meanwhile, other guild members began to collect the items dropped by the monster. Hyun-seoks gaze fell on one particr item.


    Oh? That one?
