Chapter 257 – Pocket Girls
Having said that, Hana throws her ball to the ground and summons her Black in front of her, preparing for her battle.
“Come out black!”
One partner, Black, appeared like that. He looks at one as soon as he is summoned to the field.
“Black! It’s the same situation as the last gym, you know?”
“Aha…”
Black nodded as if he understood the explanation. He calmly gazes at the object she points to.
“Hehe… He’s a pretty cool friend, right? Then where should we stick together?”
“Go! Leman!”
A delayed attack that started without warning. At her attack command, a man named Rehman immediately jumps into a giant swimming pool.
‘It’s gorgeous.’
Leman enters the water and creates a huge wave to attack Black with a spray attack. However, Black is not at all embarrassed and brings out his ability.
Support position!!
The intangible energy drawn from Black’s body begins to mutate and turns into a form of lightning.
‘Hmm… I don’t think there’s anything unusual…?’
Ji-yeon and his partner, whose complexion changes as soon as Black uses his electric power. All in all, since Black has his own hard counter ability, he starts to shy away a lot.
‘There’s nothing to see.’
The aspect of the battle that flows one-sidedly because it is so extreme. As Black pours out a continuous electric attack, the delay partner, who is a water attribute, can’t stand it for long and stretches out on the spot.
“Keuk… All I need is a hard counter for the attribute I’m after…”
“Lol…”
“…Well, since there was a corner that believed that, he must have confidently attacked me.”
“Sure!”
Ji-yeon and Hana finished such a short match. She asks, looking at her holy days after her battle.
“You? Are you going to start right away?”
“Ah… Can I do that?”
“Whoa… Wasn’t the fight just a little while ago so rough and long? My partner wasn’t even injured, so one more battle is enough.”
“If so…”
Even though it’s a bit embarrassing because he seems cowardly, Seong-il has no reason to refuse that the other person will give him a hand. He thinks it’s all right and pulls Lutie out of the ball.
“Come out! Luti!”
Then, a beautiful girl with impressive pink hair protruding from her cheeks appeared. Seong-il immediately gives such a battle order to Luti as he said yesterday.
“Ruti! Prepare for battle as I told you yesterday!”
“Alas…!”
Luti, who immediately draws out abilities at the end of the holy day. However, even though Luti is ready for battle, Ji-yeon, the director, does not take any action and just quietly looks at Seong-il.
“Hmm…?”
Seong-il was puzzled by her attitude. She felt his gaze, and her delay smiled as she spoke to him.
“You… Where did you get that ball from?”
“Ah…”
Ji-yeon probably recognized the degraded white ball. As for Seong-il, her status is her status, so she doesn’t hide anything in particular and calmly talks about her cheeks.
“Ah, this is because the Hyper Team raided the A-02 Shelter’s secret lab not too long ago… I did a great job in subduing them.”
“Huh…?”
“This ball was given to me as a prize by Dr. Lowe, who thanked him for his performance.”
“Hehe… I see. I remember that you cared for the ball quite a bit, and you gave it to me. Your performance must have been very impressive.”
‘…By the way, isn’t the existence of this ball a top secret? Even though the gym director is a key member of the shelter’s military organization… He’s not in a high enough position to know this top secret?’
‘In addition, didn’t it be said that among high-ranking officials, people who know the existence of the White Ball Project can count it on their hands? How does that woman know about such an important project…?’
It was a short question and answer, but the conversation between the two had a lot of meaning. Ji-yeon smiled bitterly as if she had read Seong-il’s meaningful gaze and continued talking as if reassuring him.
“Hey~ I know what you’re thinking, but it’s not like that~”
“…Didn’t you say anything?”
“Don’t say anything! Eyes are windows to the heart?”
“…”
“Well… I pretended to know this useless, I was misunderstood. The key designer who made that ball is a close acquaintance of mine.”
“!!”
The shocking words that came out of the mouth of gym leader Jiyeon. Seong-il is shocked by the words and thinks to himself.
‘…This kind of content was not in the game at all?! I must make good use of this situation.’
If you’re good at it, it’s a chance to dig up about the identity of the white ball maker. In order not to miss the opportunity, Seong-il tries to get information about her producer from her as naturally as possible.
“Acquaintance…? Who the hell is he? I hear that he’s close with our shelter’s Dr. Woo…”
“Ah~ I guess so. Because Dr. Woo worked with that human at the C-02 Shelter’s laboratory in the past. Maybe he was doing joint research with Dr. Woo…?”
‘…From a researcher in C-02 Shelter!’
The identity of the white ball creator is revealed one by one. Pretending not to know Seong-il, she keeps inquiring about him.
“Ohhh… I see. But, was the director also a researcher? It doesn’t look like he has a connection with the researcher… How did he…?”
“…What do you mean? I’m with him…”
“Chief! Chief!”
“…?”
While Ji-yeon and Seong-il were talking, a guard suddenly burst into the gym. He pours out words like a rapid-fire cannon at Ji-yeon in an urgent voice.
“It’s an intruder! The dam has been invaded by the Hyper group! They’re trying to blow up the floodgates of the dam and submerge this area!!”
“…What?!”
“I beg your pardon!?”
At the words of the guard, the words of surprise that came out of Seongil and Jiyeon’s mouths at the same time. Unlike Ji-yeon, who was genuinely astonished at the atrocities of the hyper group. Seong-il is astonished in the other direction.
‘There was no event like this?!’
Seong-il is extremely flustered when an unexpected event that has never existed in the game comes out.
‘Did I twist something big?! Could it be because of holding hands with Patricia this time…?’
At that time when Seong-il was lost in thought. Ji-yeon hardens her expression and runs out of her seat shouting at Hana and Seong-il.
“I’m sorry! Let’s take care of exams and distributing certificates later! I have urgent business, so stop!”
Ji-yeon starts to run like a bullet, and after thinking for a while, Seong-il gritting his teeth and chases after her.
“Let’s go together!”
“Are you crazy?! This isn’t something a kid like you would run into!”
When Seong-il, who has just come of age and is leaving the shelter to take the qualification exam, offers to help her, Ji-yeon frowns and dissuades him.
However, Seong-il lightly raises his hand and tries something instead of answering her complaint.
“!!”
Metal objects in front of Ji-yeon’s eyes float in the air due to strange power. Among them, Seong-il uses telekinesis to bring her iron tray out of the air and into his hand, then uses her inner strength to tear the iron tray to pieces like her sheet of paper.
Chewy!! Jiik!!
“I’m an elite combat operative who has undergone physical enhancement procedures as well as A-02 Shelter’s secret telekinesis treatment. It would be more reasonable to take me with you.”
“…Oh my god.”
Ji-yeon learns Seong-il’s true identity. She is momentarily bruised, unable to close her gaping mouth. She immediately catches her head and nods her head.
“Well… With that level of ability, it would be foolish not to take him. Let’s go! Before the Hyperdans cause more trouble!”
“Yes. Let’s go!”
They quickly follow the guards to the scene of the incident. For some reason, Seong-il has an ominous feeling that this kind of situation will unfold often.
‘…Fuck, in the past, I would have just passed it on, but now, perhaps because I have a [Detective’s Intuition], I can’t ignore this feeling.’
Seong-il grumbled and arrived at the dam. Then, in front of his eyes, he sees the appearance of the Hyper group blocking the entrance and holding a sit-in.
‘…Wow, I’m finally seeing those tacky tights.’
The outfit of the Hyper Team with a black jacket and strange accessories. Unlike the A-02 Shelter Terror Incident, in which they disguised themselves as shelter guards, this time they were proudly wearing uniforms and carrying out terrorist activities.
“Don’t come closer!! If you come here, everyone inside will die!!”
“…What exactly is the situation?”
The current situation looks like a hostage situation. However, in order to grasp the exact situation, as soon as Ji-yeon arrives at the scene, she grabs a guard staying around and asks about the exact situation.
“It’s a hostage situation. We’re holding the staff inside as hostages, and using them as an excuse, we’re demanding the release of previously captured gangsters…”
“…You’re saying release isn’t the goal?”
“Yes. They keep trying to buy time by making strange quibbles. Meanwhile, one of our employees hiding inside to avoid them, realizes that they’re using hostage taking as an excuse to buy time and plant bombs.” I let you know.
“Damn them…!”
“What should we do? If they are taken as they intended and the sluice is blown up, it will be a really big deal. This is the only water resource in the area that is not polluted…”
“…If we don’t stop it, the survivors around here will all die from drinking the polluted water.”
“Yes. Not only that, but it will also have a huge impact on power generation.”
After hearing it, it turned out that this terror attack by the Hyper Team is not an ordinary problem. Seong-il realizes that the unexpected event that appeared this time is an unexpected event of a different level from what he has experienced before.
‘If I don’t stop this event, the story might get completely twisted!’
‘Existing sudden events were only a localized factor, but this time, the survival of the shelter forces will come and go depending on the success of the terror…’
At that time, Seong-il was in trouble. The guard looked at Jiyeon and continued talking with a firm expression.
“What to do? Make sacrifices? Time is running out to wait for the superiors to decide.”
“Kuhh…”
Ji-yeon looks at the dam with a sad expression. Just when she struggled to say something. Seong-il, who is nearby, asks them.
“If…”
“…?”
“Are the hostages grouped together or separate?”
“Uh… They’re probably all in one place. The number of people in the hyper team inside the dam is about 10, so it’s impossible to manage them separately.”
“Aha…”
Seong-il nods as if he understands the guard’s explanation. At that time, she had been thinking about it for a long time. Seong-il approaches Ji-yeon and whispers to her.
“…Do you think I can solve this?”
“What?”
Ji-yeon frowns at Seong-il’s sudden words and looks at him as if he’s saying something. Seong-il carefully whispers to her and explains some of her abilities.
“…Well, actually, my secondary ability is stealth.”
“Invisibility!?”
“Shh!! Shh!!”
“Ah! Mi… Sorry…”
“What I showed you earlier is an ability that has been treated with artificial procedures. My real ability is the ability to manipulate shadows. This ability allows me to be completely invisible in dark places.”
“…What do you mean?”
“I’ll sneak in and rescue the hostages. After I rescue the hostages, how about entering the dam then?”
“Um… So reckless. There’s no guarantee of success, right?”
“Then, is it okay to stay like this?
“Hmm…”
“Then let’s do this. Put a time limit on it.”
“…A time limit?”
“Yes. If I go in and can’t solve it within 30 minutes, then you’re ready to sacrifice the hostage and me.”
“Hmm…”
“If I succeed in recapturing the hostages, I will contact you right away.”
“…Is that possible?”
“Sure. Wait, but you’ve seen my abilities. Besides, what can’t I do if I sneak in and team up with my partners?”
“Um…”
After hearing it, I realized that it was Seong-il’s words. As her procrastination deepens her troubles, her sexuality drives her in a very strong tone.
“I’ve solved a similar terror attack myself before. Ask Dr. Lowe. He’s someone you can trust because I’ve had experience solving problems like this.”
