Chapter 388 – Counterterrorism Test (6)
*
“It’s wider than I thought.”
“This is an artificially created place? It looks like a real department store.”
Upon entering the field following the instructor’s instructions, the appearance of a famous department store was realized as it was.
It’s safe to say that there are no people, but it’s almost the same as the real thing. I don’t know if it’s because of the friendly match this time, but the Korean Academy seems to be paying attention.
But I’ve only heard that it’s a hostage war, but how will it go?
As everyone was looking around, the announcement started.
[ Ah? Can you hear my voice? Cadets who cannot hear properly, please raise your right hand. ]
The feeling of doing an announcement in a real department store, isn’t it necessary to implement this as well?
Well, this real-life environment was the way to increase the sense of immersion.
[You are the Red Team. Please go to the center of the 1st floor. ]
“It seems to be starting in earnest.”
“Are the other kids watching us too?”
“If that happens, fairness will deteriorate in strategic matters. Probably only the instructors are watching.”
“You haven’t forgotten about the operation, have you? Let’s check the number of people from Team 1 to Team 6.”
As we moved to the center, a large number of wooden dolls were standing there. That number is about 50. Considering the appearance, it would be correct to call them 50 people.
“Are you moving? Is it like a magic golem?”
[Red team everyone? What you see in front of you is the hostage that will be used for this test. ]
“You don’t do it as a real person.”
“Then should I protect these dolls?”
[After the preparation time, the blue team will enter the building to rescue the hostages. ]
[ You must protect the hostages in front of you for a limited time. ]
[You are free to place hostages in which rooms and how you place them, and please act according to your own strategy. ]
It’s a bit ridiculous to say that a villain keeps a hostage, but it’s not necessary to act like a villain no matter how mock battle it is.
“Instructor, I have a question for you!”
[Yes, please. ]
“What if this doll gets a shock?”
Lim Yoo-jin asked a question while fixing her glasses. It was probably an important part in which our strategy could change depending on the instructor’s answer.
First of all, since we were classified as a villain alliance, we had the option of using the hostages as shields.
Taken literally, they look a bit like bad guys, but if you want to win the test, you can’t choose the means and the methods.
[A point will be deducted. ]
“Are the points deducted regardless of the red team or the blue team?”
[ The degree of deduction varies depending on the degree of damage to the doll, and the score of the formation that directly damaged it is deducted. ]
In the case of bad villains, there are times when they threaten heroes with the lives of hostages, but that strategy seemed unusable.
Well, opinions came out, but everyone was on the side of rejecting it. No matter how mock training you are, you won’t want to become a villain.
However, using it as a shield seemed to be a valid strategy, given the condition that it was a formation that dealt direct damage.
At first, there were some people who were reluctant, but it seemed that it could be used as a shield without any burden, perhaps because of its appearance.
[The exam will be conducted for 48 hours, and the conditions for the end of the exam are as follows. ]
[If the blue team rescues all hostages, or there are no hostages left after being rescued. ]
[ If no cadets of each formation survive, the test will end regardless of the remaining time. ]
[Red team, please pack the supplies in the center and prepare to defend the blue team for 4 hours. ]
“You say it lasts for 48 hours?”
“Ah, I made an appointment for tomorrow… I’ll let you know in advance.”
“I didn’t know it would go on this long…”
If the preparation time is 4 hours and 48 hours, then the test will be conducted for a total of 52 hours. Thanks to the long preparation time, it has the advantage of being able to know the interior terrain in detail, but the problem was that it was impossible to predict when the blue team would attack.
‘Well… There’s no way I’m just going about it.’
[Then let’s start the test. ]
“Let’s start with understanding the inside first! Take charge of each party, one floor at a time, and make a simple map!”
“Okay Siwoo.”
“Huh.”
“I know what.
First of all, an internal understanding came first.
*
Outside, the blue team was waiting. As in the real situation, a barricade was set up in front of the department store building to control people.
Blue team members were sitting around a table in a temporary operation room made of tents, a scenery that had only been seen on the news.
“Still, I was worried about what to do if they threatened to kill the hostages. There will be no problem with that.”
“I should also consider using it as a shield.”
“Typhoon, what are you going to do?”
“Time is long. You don’t have to think too fast. It’s a two-day exam. The advantage is that we can choose the timing of the attack.”
Kim Tae-pung, ninth at the Korean Academy, looked at the department store building with a relaxed expression.
“The red team will have no choice but to keep vigilant because you never know when we might come in.”
“Do I need to wait? If you and I work together, Kim Si-woo couldn’t use much strength either. I wonder if it is necessary to go this far.”
Kim Ji-seok seemed itchy at the thought of entering the department store and wiping out the red team right now.
“Because I can’t predict what kind of structure the inside will be. I don’t think it’s good to go in blindly.”
“Under. I didn’t know that Kang Tae-pung of the world was such a coward.”
Kang Tae-pung sighed when he saw Yang Ji-seok gnashing his teeth at being demoted.
To be honest, I didn’t want to be close to him because he had a bad personality, but I had no choice but to accept him into the team because of his skills.
Even if it looks like that, if certain conditions are met, its power can never be ignored.
‘Even if I act like that, I’m not an idiot…’
Being 10th in the academy is not a position that can be exchanged like shit, and he won’t rush at it blindly just because he’s a little angry.
Isn’t it a situation so desperate that Kim Ji-seok, who is usually impatient because he can’t eat himself, says he will come under him first.
“The building is bigger than I thought. I think you need to revise your strategy. What do you all think?”
“I agree. I can’t go in because it’s preparation time anyway. I think that’s better than being silent.”
“Joy. I am not interested.”
She had heard of an urban field, but she did not know that a field of this size would exist.
The space was too large for about 60 people to use, so it seemed difficult to predict where the hostages were.
They set up a strategy to rescue the hostages by attacking at once, but the building seemed too big for that.
“Do you think the red team will be collecting hostages? Or do you think they will disperse?”
“It would be easier to defend if they were gathered in one place, but it would also make them easier to attack. On the other hand, if the hostages are dispersed, it will be difficult for us to find them, even though they are difficult to defend, right?”
“In addition, there is a high percentage of wizards over there. If you drag it on too long, it will plaster the building with trap magic.”
“Isn’t it possible for Typhoon to cancel the trap magic?”
Kim Tae-pung’s ability is the ability to cut magical power, the ability to cut off the structure of magical power, and it was possible to split all the magic circles within the area of contact with his sword.
A cadet who is also called a magic hunter, he was one of those cadets who were nothing short of fear in the magic world.
“It’s difficult to find all the hidden magic circles. And since we’re a union of heroes, we can’t just destroy buildings blindly.”
“What’s getting on the other person’s nerves while pretending to keep attacking?”
“It’s not a bad strategy.”
First of all, wasn’t the blue team initiating the attack? The opponent was in a position to defend in a situation where he did not know when to attack.
“It would be nice to attack at night. Wouldn’t that end the defense then?”
“If you hit it on one side, it’s not impossible to break through.”
“Do I need to worry? One big shot and that would be enough.”
“Please refrain from that, Ji-seok.”
It was Kim Tae-pung who stopped Yang Ji-seok, who was about to launch a big magic attack into the department store outside.
Blue, the hero team, could get hurt, so it’s natural that they couldn’t use it, and the red team was, of course, also banned.
If such an attack was allowed, wouldn’t a cadet like Lee Da-eun launch the bombing right from the inside?
If a cadet like Lee Da-eun made up his mind and started attacking, he probably didn’t have the confidence to stop them either. If that happens, what will be the use of a hostage war and a test?
Then the meaning of evaluation is lost.
‘Was it a technique that caused the blue full moon to rise then?’
It was difficult to be sure that Siwoo Kim’s skills, which he had seen in friendly matches, would be able to block if they flew here.
Maybe I should be grateful that the skirmishes only took place inside department stores.
‘Well.. Yang Ji-seok is also strong, but.. If the hostages die after attacking like that… ‘
The test will end with the defeat of the blue team.
Anyway, it would be difficult to use such a wide range in this test.
‘Kim Si-ura…’
To be honest, Kim Tae-pung, who uses a sword, was one of the students that Kim Si-woo could never ignore.
His unique sharp movements, his swordsmanship as if he was walking on a tightrope that seemed almost to touch him, and even an attack using the opponent’s sword.
He thought that if he simply put in his swordsmanship skills, he would probably be above him.
Although he is undervalued because of the image of his past, he thought that he was an opponent who should never be caught off guard.
Of course, the person of interest in this test will be Kim Si-woo, and how to respond to Kim Si-woo’s movements will be an important point.
“How many hours do we have left to prepare?”
“I think we have about two hours left.”
“Good. When the preparation time is over, let’s strike lightly and preemptively.”
“Are you attacking right away?”
“It would be difficult to anticipate such a sudden attack. They’re going to target the red team, not the hostages.”
The reason for the long preparation time is probably because there are many access roads. Then, obviously, there was bound to be a gap.
‘Kim Si-woo. How will it come out?’
