Chapter 387 – Counterterrorism Test (5)
*
‘Is this the best?’
Group J gathered in one place to match teamwork ahead of the exam.
“…”
“…”
It was the first time everyone met, so an awkward atmosphere was created. Everyone is looking at each other’s faces without saying a word.
Actually, I have to come forward and speak up here, but I was not used to this kind of atmosphere, so while I was contemplating what to say, Minji opened her mouth first.
“Ruler. Because we were on the same team. Shall we say hello first?”
“Ah.. How are you?”
“Hello. This is Kim Ji-soo…”
“Ah.. Hello.”
After Minji greeted them first, everyone started greeting each other. Perhaps it was because of the other members of the class, a suffocating atmosphere was created.
Minji relaxed the atmosphere like that, but I can’t stay still. First of all, I should say hello.
“First of all, I want to say thank you for joining our team.”
First of all, let’s start by saying thank you, and some people responded to me. Judging by the look on his face, he seems to have had a crush on me, but it seems that he intends to become close with me this time.
Minji and Suah showed a bit uncomfortable, but I don’t think they’re at a level to worry about. Anyway, as I was being properly greeted, Kim Jae-seon, one of the top cadets, raised his hand.
“Do you have something to say?”
“It’s nice to say hello, but there’s not much left until the evaluation. Do you have any strategies as a team leader?”
“Well… I did plan it for now.”
Our team thinks that the key mission of this evaluation will be to rescue the hostages we have from the Hero Alliance, if there is a Villain Alliance and hostages.
In that case, I thought it would be good to divide the group into a group that would protect the hostages, centering on Soo-ah’s protective shield and Min-ji’s fighting ability, and a group that would actively eliminate the heroes, led by me.
“For now, I think so.”
“Well, it’s not a bad strategy, but I think we’ll have to figure out our power first.”
Kim Jae-sun was also active in formulating a strategy, probably because he came in to win. Still, I’d be grateful if there was one guy like this.
“Then, can the melee series come this way?”
“Okay!”
“It bothers me.. I got it.”
There are 16 melee hunters including Minji and me, and 3 supporters.
The rest were ranged, and all 10 of the 12 except for 2 were hunters who used magic.
“There are more wizards than I thought?”
If you simply look at the numbers, it’s less than 30%, but since magic is such a complex area, the number was small.
The number was so small that there was only an 8 to 2 ratio in terms of proximity and ratio, which accounted for the highest percentage among hunters.
So, out of about 300 remaining cadets after being filtered out, there were only 60 magic cadets, and 12 of them were entering this area.
“Isn’t that obvious?
Lim Yu-jin, who was the highest among the magicians on the team, stepped forward raising her glasses.
“That’s because it’s good to be active here. It may be advantageous to win under the other guys, but it will be difficult to get a good score.”
I heard that it was easy to come in, but that was the reason.
Well, the guys who joined Seo Ah-na and Da-eun will inevitably be compared to the two no matter how good they do.
“I also agree with Kim Si-woo’s opinion. I’m sure the professor said it was a hostage war, so what I expected was correct. Because the evaluation of the academy proceeds within the expected level. Sharing power is probably one way. Then, who among them is confident in shield magic?”
I thought about what to do if the guys were uncooperative, but fortunately, everyone was cooperative.
Well, it might have been natural since those guys would have already been knocked out and filtered out by the time they were in the first year.
“I think it would be nice to divide them into groups of three.”
“Then it’s too dissipative. The more you divide the group, the more different movements will be possible, but don’t forget that in the end we are in a defensive position.”
“But the opponent isn’t stupid, will he attack head-on?”
“Why don’t we make a scouting team? Or maybe it would be good to assign groups to suit different situations.”
“Then it gets too complicated. As you know, time is running out.”
“It hurts.”
I thought it would be just a matter of dividing it into an offensive team and a defensive team, but if the other side went all-in in one direction, the risk of dispersing power could not be ignored.
First of all, a strategy of setting up a hostage as a shield, taking time, and gathering the rest of the members to attack came out.
Reconciling differences was not easy. Although I, the team leader, mediate to some extent, it was not easy to take sides as both sides had a point.
Minji, who was watching from the side, poked me in the side.
“What’s the matter?”
“I’m out of my mind. It’s good to strategize, but isn’t it more important to try to get the sum right?”
“That’s right…”
“You know the difference between theory and practice, right?”
No matter how good the strategy was, it was difficult to fully demonstrate combat power if hands and feet did not match. Even if the strong guy wins only in one-on-one, in a large-scale unit like this, it’s important how well each other’s hands and feet match.
There is a saying that a team member whose hands and feet do not match is rather inferior to the enemy.
“For a moment.”
First of all, I stopped Yujin Lim and Jaeseon Kim, who were overheated in the discussion.
“Thank you both for your comments. Neither is wrong, but let’s consider if we can.”
One of the good strategies was to change the group depending on the situation, as Yujin Lim said.
There is an opinion to respond in an efficient group depending on the situation and the advantage of being able to respond appropriately to the situation, but there are many things to think about in each situation, so it seemed difficult to apply right now.
“Not a bad opinion, but I don’t think such a complicated operation would be difficult in a situation where time is short. Yujin, you can do well, but I think it will be difficult for everyone to follow if the strategy system becomes complicated.”
“Well… I’m running out of time.”
Still, you can’t manage 31 people casually, so it looks good if you create a group by party unit.
“Still, why don’t we reflect Yujin Lim’s opinion and form a party unit first?”
“Is it a party unit?”
“It is operated by grouping six people into a party unit. By selecting a team leader for each party, we can prevent the chain of command from becoming too complicated, and we will be able to respond to some extent even in sudden situations.”
“As I said before, moving in small units wastes a lot of power.”
Kim Jae-sun, who keeps giving only negative opinions, has been against it, but I have to persuade him.
“Depending on the situation, wouldn’t it be possible to solve it by joining the party? In addition, I think it would be better to try to match hands and feet in a small group for now rather than suddenly trying to match this many people at once.”
“Hmm.. Well.. I’m not saying it’s wrong.”
Well, it seems that the differences have narrowed somehow. When I was with my kids, there was never a conflict like this, so I didn’t know, but it’s really hard when there are a lot of people.
Roughly, we set up a party by position and started preparing for the evaluation match.
*
On the day of the test, our opponent was Kang Tae-pung, who was in ninth place.
Perhaps the intention of dividing the Villain Alliance and the Hero Alliance into even and odd numbers is to have similar levels fight each other.
If this happens, should I say I’m glad I don’t have to fight with my kids?
“Kim Si-woo.”
“…?”
As I was preparing to enter the field, a stranger I had never seen walked this way.
Seeing him walk away without hiding his animosity, it seemed like he had a lot of things piled up on me.
“Who?”
“…Under. What a provocation.”
“No… I really don’t know.”
“… You bastard.”
No, I’m not even able to memorize all human faces. When I was selecting the team members this time, there were so many guys I was seeing for the first time.
“That’s not the right place for you.”
“Seat..?”
“Don’t get me wrong, the fact that I beat Taeyeon Kim in the last friendly was just because I was lucky.”
She said that she won by luck, but it might not be wrong since she did a few low-key loads.
If Taeyeon Kim had information about me, the result might have been different.
“…So what to say?”
“I don’t know how long I’ll stay like that, but I’ll show you who’s on top in this test.”
“Uh.. Yes.”
“Ha.. Is it like that until the end? It’s only for a moment anyway, so enjoy it while you can.”
I looked dumbfounded at the guy who just kept saying things like that. I was looking at the back of the guy, and Minji came this way from behind.
“It’s Yang Ji-seok. If you were a referee, shouldn’t you know?”
“Yang Ji-seok? If it’s Yang Ji-seok, that…”
“The kid who was ranked 10th. Did you provoke it as part of it?”
“Ah. It looks like that.”
I had heard the name before. Isn’t he the guy who has held a top 10 spot for over a year and then was pushed back by me?
“Kim Si-woo.”
“Huh?”
“You. During the friendly match, didn’t you watch the referee and do something else?”
“Uh..?”
“It was strange that I couldn’t contact you then. Be honest.”
Was Minji this sharp? Still, how can she say that she got into the crack with Hyeji and caught someone who asked if she was Cheolsu or something?
I can never say that we lived like a couple there.
“Looks like we are starting now. Shall we go into the field soon?”
“Hey. Siwoo Kim!! I will do it like that every day!!”
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“Are you going to keep pretending you don’t know? Don’t speak the right way quickly!!”
As if running away from Minji, I entered the exam hall. You seem to have noticed it to some extent, but it’s still too early to talk about what happened with Hyeji.
Thus, the confrontation between Team Kim Tae-pung and Si-woo Kim began.
