I Will Save the World and Retire Chapter 6

Even if you fall backwards (2)

“You lost it?”

“okay.”

The more people get stabbed, the more confident they must act.

It might not work if the opponent is an experienced person, but the kids in front of you are 18-year-old high school students.

Holding it in one hand and shaking it is not an easy task.

“Lost… Well, then, uh… .”

Look. Even though he pretended to be sharp for a while, he quickly became embarrassed and couldn’t speak.

However, Oh Hyun-wook’s question made me realize something I had not thought about before.

I don’t have a proper identity right now.

Even if we get out of here safely, what happens after that is problematic. It’s impossible to go so far into the past and do nothing. I know for sure that Korea will be ruined in 20 years.

You should at least check that dungeon. The dungeon in Bangi-dong that Yoo Ji-eun said we had to conquer.

Proof of identity is required to enter the dungeon.

… How old am I in 2021? Ten years old? I am here now, does my ten-year-old self still exist?

Me in the past, I’ll think about proof of identity later, and what I can do right now… Let’s think about something that will help me.

I saw Oh Hyun-wook. Future S-class hunter.

I looked behind it. Children wearing Hunter Demonstration High School uniforms. Two girls and two boys.

Among them, there is a child who becomes famous enough to make a name for himself in the future.

… hmm.

As expected, it’s just the right amount of lifesaver.

“I just need to prove that I’m a hunter, right?”

I gently scratched the floor with my sword. A small blue flame rose along the line and then went out. A flame full of magical power.

“Is this enough?”

“… all right. “He is a hunter.”

Oh Hyun-wook couldn’t completely let go of his doubts, but he was convinced anyway.

Although this is proof that he is an awakened person, it is not proof that he is a good hunter, but he does not seem to have realized that far.

Children from other pilot high schools also quietly relaxed. It is clear that he is taking a breather now that he has an active hunter.

On the other hand, civilians reacted more explicitly.

“Huh, if you’re a hunter, can we go out?”

“I don’t know. But it’s a lot better than just having kids.”

Let’s predict the possibilities.

It’s something I’ve seen in print to the point of boredom. He has published many papers overseas, and is also a frequent subject that comes up when bored on various hunter sites.

Each person came up with their own solution. In general, the conclusion is the same as mine. At that time, there was no way for everyone to escape safely.

“How many people are there in total in this building?”

“… “Forty-one.”

“With all of you?”

“Then forty-six, no, forty-seven to you.”

It’s the same as a number you know.

There are five or six escape methods that immediately come to mind. Excluding that it takes too long, and that there are too many supplies, that’s about it.

All you have to do is just choose the right one… .

I looked at the children again. The remaining three except Oh Hyun-wook and Park Seo-hyun. Hye-eun Yoo, Jin-woo Choi, Seung-yeon Lee.

Of these, there is only one whose name I remember.

Seungyeon Lee.

She has a pale face and is shorter than Park Seo-hyun, who is standing next to her. To be honest, I wonder if I can even hold a sword properly.

However, in some ways, she was more famous than Oh Hyun-wook or Park Seo-hyun, who were renowned as geniuses.

Well, it’s not like he was a genius who stood out from the time he was a toddler. This guy used up all his talents just by being born. Since his family has talent, he can be said to be an SSS-level hunter in that respect.

The youngest child of Da-yeon, a conglomerate that is one of the leading conglomerates not only in Korea but all over the world.

Before and after he died, their family surrounded him. I can tell you how much he cared for me. Even after his death, I supported him financially and spiritually so that the pilot high school could be maintained. He also had a hand in the establishment of the Ability Management Office and even sponsored his uncle to become the head of the department.

Even though the child died.

So what if the child is alive?

What if you save a child who almost died? The Da-yeon I know did not lose her face to the point of wiping her mouth and pretending not to notice things related to her family.

If you’re lucky, they might be able to vouch for your identity.

Of course, this is only when things go well.

“Is there anyone who has trouble moving?”

“Are you an uncomfortable person?”

“Injured person or child.”

I didn’t remember it, but I’ll have to check.

“Oh, no… . no.”

good night. very good

No identity?

If so, he will become a hero that no one can deny, even if it is somewhat questionable. Korean people are weak at that kind of thing. At the very least, shouldn’t Seungyeon Lee shed tears of gratitude every time she thinks of my name?

There is just one suitable way.

How everyone survives but it takes someone’s heroic sacrifice.

* * *

“I’m going to City Hall.”

“… “City Hall?”

The children were suspicious. The same was true for civilians.

“City Hall?”

In the first place, hunters’ strategy meetings should not be held in public like this. I can’t help it because the situation is the way it is… .

“Are you crazy? Mr. Hunter, do you know how far City Hall is from here?”

There always happens to be someone who interrupts like that without even knowing the topic.

I looked at Mr. Wen and sighed openly.

Dungeon emergency command and control… You need control. This is a law that gives priority to the command of hunters when a dungeon break occurs. When was this made? Was this also created after forty people died here?

I think so. Did you say that he was a young student and did not listen properly? There were testimonies from survivors.

“Hey.”

I lowered my voice. How many empty-headed hunters have I broken their heads over the years? No, how many empty-headed hunters have I kindly scolded them for?

They’re just civilians with loud voices.

“Do you want to die?”

“W-what?! “Is Hunter threatening people now?”

“Shut up.”

Having no control means that hunters have no obligation to rescue civilians.

Even if I don’t take care of this guy here… . No, I’m not saying I’m going to kill you.

“Honestly, it’s not even a problem for me to lose weight. I’m trying to help them because there’s no point in just leaving those kids behind. There, students.”

“yes yes?”

“Do you guys want to go alone? I do not care.”

I came to my senses after talking bluntly to the management office hunters. You shouldn’t take out your anger on kids who can’t even be called hunters.

The children exchanged glances with each other and then Yoo Hye-eun spoke as the representative.

“Oh, no… . You can’t just leave people behind… .”

The other children also nodded.

“Did you hear? Because of those students, I am working hard now so that people like you can live. If you don’t like it, stay. You don’t have to go together. “I won’t stop you.”

“no… .”

He hesitated, perhaps because he didn’t like it.

It seemed like he was still worried, so I decided to help him. Still, I’m a civilized person, so I should end this in as many words as possible.

“By the way, that monster. Just because they look like cows doesn’t mean they live on grass. “It’s a monster.”

“W-what is that?”

“It’s called eating meat.”

“… however?”

The tone of speech is dark. Other people understood.

“What kind of meat would they eat here?”

I smiled kindly at the people who had turned pale.

“If you get caught by these guys, don’t think that your body will be fine.”

“… … .”

Finally, the man understood. I tapped the man on the shoulder.

“Then let’s be quiet now?”

“Hmm.”

“And is this your first time coming to Myeongdong? “It’s a short walk to City Hall from here.”

“Well, that’s… “This is when there are no monsters!”

This is not wrong. I shrugged my shoulders.

“This is the guild office, right? Who used to work here?”

“Well, it’s us.”

Since it’s the guild office, there should be a map somewhere.

If we can’t exclude civilians from the strategy meeting, we should just let everyone hear it.

“Do you have a printed map of Myeongdong? “A big one.”

“I’m in the conference room! Shall I bring it?”

“yes. Please put it on the wall over there.”

Perhaps because he is a guild office worker, he acts quickly.

Standing in front of the map, I spoke to people.

“This is where we are now.”

Between subway stations. Between Hoehyeon Station and Myeongdong Station. Crossroads.

I followed the road down toward Namsan.

“This is the dungeon location.”

“This close?”

It’s only a 10-minute walk.

It is truly a dungeon in the middle of Seoul. So I guess I should have managed it more thoroughly.

I pointed to Namsan.

“They say the boss attack started two hours ago, so the dungeon boss would have been driven to Namsan by now.”

“How do you know that?”

one of the children asked.

Although relevant laws and regulations are still lacking and responses are poor, there are still some areas that remain unchanged.

If a battle occurs in a place with a large floating population, such as Myeongdong, the damage is enormous. There must be many people who took refuge inside the building like here. Imagine if one of those buildings collapsed during a battle.

“The boss of the Myeongdong dungeon is the Minotaur. 20m small head. Catch it in the middle of the city? “What do you think will happen?”

“… Damage.”

Fortunately, Namsan is right behind the Myeongdong dungeon.

“okay. Moreover, even though they eat meat, their habits are similar to cows. They move in groups. “By now, most of them have followed the boss to Namsan, and only those who have fallen away from the group remain on the road.”

“So you’re going to city hall?”

I picked up the ballpoint pen that was lying on the ground and drew a circle on the map. With the building we are in at the center, Sungnyemun Gate, City Hall Station, Euljiro 1-ga Station, and Myeongdong Station become the circumference of the circle.

“Does anyone know what this is?”

“… … .”

“I don’t know?”

Yoo Hye-eun secretly raised her hand.

“Jersey line… “This.”

“okay.”

It is a defense line built to prevent monsters from moving to another location during a dungeon break.

“City Hall Station is the headquarters. “You can definitely buy it if you go nearby.”

“… If the monsters went to Namsan, wouldn’t it be better for us to stay still? If the boss is caught… The dungeon break is over… .”

one of the civilians asked. I think this is something that can be done.

But I shook my head.

“The Minotaur is a dictator.”

“yes?”

“I don’t need subordinates who don’t listen to me. So, monsters gather when the Minotaur tells them to gather, and hunt when the Minotaur tells them to hunt. “It’s the same with eating.”

Now the order to gather has been given. That’s why the monsters headed to Namsan.

“But let’s think that the boss has been conquered. This means that the Minotaur is dead, which means that the leader who controls the monsters has disappeared. What would the monsters do without their leader? Shall I give you a hint? They are meat eaters and they are starving. “So far, the leader has monopolized the food.”

This was something that the hunters who were catching the Minotaur did not expect.

“And they smell good. Right now, I can’t eat because I’m worried about the captain, so I just wander around… .”

I pointed at the window with the tip of my chin.

“What I answered earlier was… Yoo Hye-eun? “Come and see how many monsters there are on the road.”

Yoo Hye-eun paused and looked carefully out the window. She could be heard taking her breath in hastily.

“How many?”

“Mo, I don’t know. About twenty? Everyone is looking this way… .”

“It will increase further in the future.”

Those who fell away from the group. Or those who are so hungry that they ignore the captain’s words.

As soon as the Minotaur is caught, it rushes towards people.

The audience became quiet.

“Well, then don’t tell the hunters to catch the boss… .”

“Are you telling me to die after seeing the hunters?”

Currently, Myeongdong Dungeon is classified as a B-class dungeon, but due to the size of the break and the fact that it has a Minotaur as its boss, the rating will be readjusted in a few years.

To S class.

This is the problem with the rule-of-thumb administration. Isn’t this what happened because the guild decided dungeon grades autonomously? I couldn’t miss this awesome dungeon in the middle of Seoul, so I faked the grade as B.

“There is no hunter anywhere in the world who can take care of and catch something like the Minotaur. He’s thankful he’s not here right now. “It’s all thanks to the hunter who risked his life to catch him.”

I clapped softly to brighten up the surroundings.

“So let’s move quickly before the Minotaur gets caught.”
