Chapter 42 - Omen of Disaster (1) (1/2)
Omen of Disaster (1)
Two days passed quickly.
“Nice to meet you. I am Jeong Si-woo, who has recently joined the raid.”
The interior of the Sabangshin Guild was very spacious and neat. Indeed, it was great to see that there is no difference from the magnificent appearance that I remembered it to be.
“Ah… The new hunter who fought with the Iron Man, right?”
The raiders knew me.
It seemed that Kim Hyun-soo also invited the Busan Crack Attack team to watch the battle.
“Uh, yeah. Yes.”
“Wow!”
Some of the raiders exclaimed.
“I watched it myself. Are you really a new hunter? Your movement is really different.”
“How the hell did you do that last attack? Even our analysts are clueless.”
“Do not stand there; come sit here. Why are you uncomfortable…”
They immediately made me feel comfortable.
They were good people, as with everyone in the guild. Indeed, it was a perfect group except for the guild leader’s second and youngest sons.
“Yes… Yes. Thank you.”
Sitting between them, I naturally got engrossed with talks about the raid and other hunting topics. Being in the same position as they are was more enjoyable than I thought.
“Then, Jeong Si-woo is also here to get a briefing on the Busan Crack?”
“Yes.”
I know the important details, but there was nothing wrong with being briefed.
As I sat on the couch and listened to the explanation of the raid, I could not help but flinch.
In less than five minutes, I thought of it.
Why are they so stupid?
* * *
“Hooh!”
As soon as I returned to the Academy’s accommodations, I let out a deep sigh.
It wasn’t because I didn’t like the raiders. I knew how great the second-class hunters were, and their teamwork was obviously excellent.
But what I didn’t like…
Their analysts suck.
The briefing was very messy. The materials used in the briefing made me sick.
They have to be replaced sooner or later.
I remember a lot of talented people who would become excellent analysts in the future.
One day, I would have to find a way to replace the incompetent ones who only thought about making money.
I shook the horrible briefing from my head and started writing my own plans.
With that level of briefing, it’s best to take the rear position rather than the center.
That way, I could deliver support to the center and the front based on my memories.
If they asked how the hell did I know about these things, I would just tell them that I had the Excellent Insight trait.
It was not polite to ask about another hunter’s status, so they wouldn’t ask me anything anymore.
At least, it wasn’t a total mess.
It would have been impossible to cover the mess made by incompetent hunters, but since it was only a mess related to data, I could cope with it. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that there is no expert better than me on that side.
Just think that it would make things easier in the future. Compared to what could happen in the future, you can attack the Busan Crack with a smile.
I jumped out of bed, enduring a slight numb sensation at my fingertips.
Even if it was only one day after our match, I couldn’t stop training.
Suppose I get even a little improvement, that still meant a little more contribution to the team. I would only take rest a day before the crack attack.
I slowly stepped out of the room.
It was early in the morning. I was the only one walking through the dark corridor.
* * *
It was the day of the Busan Crack attack.
I advised the Academy that I would not be able to attend class because I had to participate in the attack.
“Well, Jeong Si-woo. Would that equipment really be enough?”
The first person I encountered was Han Soo-in, the leader of the raid team.
“I’m in the rear, anyway. It won’t be good to carry heavy equipment. Besides, I’m not used to them.”
“But since you’re still inexperienced, it’s good to be sure even if you find your movements a little hindered.”
I laughed while listening to his words of concern.
As he said, I was wearing insignificant equipment. Nightmare at the back of my hand, an underwater hunting suit, and an oxygen supply artifact that allows me to breathe underwater. They were very simple equipment.
“But I think that an underwater crack as your first crack would definitely be hard,” he added.
“Why?”
“Your main weapons are a sword and a bow. Of course, I heard that you could handle other weapons well, but those two are your best weapons. However, they’re pretty useless underwater, especially the bow.”
“…”
“Originally, underwater cracks were the favorite of wizards since they use the elements. To be in a setting overflowing with water… ah, a water wizard can go crazy with it.”
“Ah, it’s okay… I know how to use magic, too. By the way, you also use a sword. Won’t you be having a hard time in an underwater crack?”
Han Soo-in smiled and answered me.
