Chapter 390 – Counterterrorism Evaluation (8)
*
“I didn’t know you would attack right away.”
“The most important thing in rescuing hostages is information.”
“What. It means that you will use the victory condition of the test.”
The instructors muttered while monitoring the situation on the field outside.
The party of the red team, who rushed to stop Yang Ji-seok from entering the rooftop, fell out with a single magic spell.
Of course, 5 dummy dolls nearby were destroyed while recklessly using wide-area magic, but Yang Ji-seok didn’t seem to care much.
“It feels like it’s far outside the purpose of the test.”
“I thought rescuing the hostage would be the top priority. I didn’t expect to focus on annihilation.”
“Rather than that, it seems that Yang Ji-seok can’t handle his own strength.”
“It must be because it is the first time that there are as many sympathetic people as this test.”
“No matter what. The deduction factor won’t change, though.”
“Are appearances a problem? Maybe because they look like dolls, they don’t think of them as citizens to be saved.”
Yang Ji-seok, a cadet who knows how to use sophisticated magic quickly based on his fast calculation ability and delicacy, but he was a cadet who could not enter high ranks due to his innately low magical power.
Although he awakened his unique ability to make up for his own shortcomings, there were limits to that as well because there were restrictions on synchronizing with the magical power of the magic stone.
No matter how sympathetic they were, it was necessary to extract the mana of the magic stone. In the process, my nerves were dispersed, but if it was a person, the words would be different.
‘It’s enough if the person in the back emits magic.’
It was funny to see him walking in a pose that would have been taken when the former heroes appeared, but Yang Ji-seok and the cadets behind him were connected simply by raising their arms on their shoulders.
To put it simply, Yang Ji-seok’s mana has doubled, and cooperative magic has many restrictions in the process of coordinating operations between users, but Yang Ji-seok did not need such a process.
A state in which the mana that has been increased through the tuning of one’s own mana is fully utilized. So, to put it simply, he was using the mana of 7 people at once.
There was no way to stop Yang Ji-seok’s magic unless he was a skilled person.
“I think the limit was 4 people last time. You have increased to 6 people?”
In the last evaluation, the number of people who could sympathize was the limit of 4 people, but this time it seems that it has increased to 6 people.
“You don’t think I can stop you either? With that kind of power.”
“Well, it’s a big problem to have to stick around like that, but other than that, it’s a terrifying ability.”
However, due to the slow movement speed, the RED team gave up the fight and fled downstairs, while the rest of the personnel began searching for the dummy dolls.
Except for the fact that 5 dummy dolls were destroyed in the first attack, the blue team had an overwhelming advantage.
Let’s save the hostages The blue team saves the hostages and escapes without delay.
Kim Tae-pung and his party, who were engaged in a fight with Kim Si-woo downstairs, also ran away after wasting time.
“By the way, I didn’t know that Kim Tae-pung would be pushed this far by cadet Kim Si-woo, right?”
“It is true that Cadet Kim Tae-pung has excellent abilities, but in the end, we have no choice but to rely on his basic skills.”
“I thought that if there were no cadets helping cadet Kim Tae-pung in the back, he would have been defeated by cadet Kim Si-woo.”
“What. Being a Hunter doesn’t just require personal strength.”
“That’s the basics of party hunting.”
If it was a place to evaluate an individual’s powerlessness, he did not need to group as many as 30 people into a team.
If you want to move in a guild unit, shouldn’t you practice this kind of cooperation in advance?
It is commendable that he held out against 10 cadets by himself, but it was regrettable that it was the blue team who benefited.
Support came later from the red team, but it was after Kim Tae-pung had already run away.
“If the red team had come down sooner, the outcome might have been different.”
“What is it? Maybe the blue team would have been pushed back if it had the same number of people.”
“Or it would have been better if I had focused on Yang Ji-seok.”
“Isn’t it just a home?”

‘I moved too carefully.’
It was regrettable that Kim Tae-pung acted passively because he was too vigilant when he first blocked my visit to Cheongwol.
He thought the guy’s ability was mana cutting, so he thought it was a kind of ability that maximizes attack by increasing cutting power, but that wasn’t the case.
You could say it was half right, but it wasn’t something that could be cut.
When using a magic circle or creating a specific skill, the result varies depending on the structure in which magic is created.
For example, magic can create fire or water depending on the structure of the magic circle.
Kim Tae-pung’s ability was the ability to destroy such a structure, to be precise, the ability to sever the connection.
The ability to sever the connection to the part of one’s magical power.
In the case of a magic circle where no part should be wrong, if there is a problem connecting even one part, of course the magic cannot be used.
In any case, certain structures and connections could be severed, but the magic power itself could not be cut.
That is to say, if you try to compete with a sword aura, you will ultimately be judged by your swordsmanship skills.
However, since he was determined and decided to only defend, he was a very difficult opponent to catch because he was supported by the guys in the back.
Even if his swordsmanship skills are pushed back, should I say that he has decent skills, whether or not he ate the 10th place as a reward? Anyway, he was a nuisance.
“Lim Yoo-jin.. Form is what you should do if you get eliminated like that after holding all the forms.”
At least, Lim Yoo-jin, who was ranked high, tried to respond to Yang Ji-seok, but was immediately eliminated.
‘After Minji and Sua, Im Yujin is the one I trust. I thought I would be eliminated already.’
One thing I could call my strength was that there were a lot of magic cadets, but while working at the top, most of them were eliminated.
They say that Yang Ji-seok can win alone, but it seems that there is no business in the end when it comes to numbers.
“How many hostages are left?”
“23 people… I think all the hostages upstairs have been rescued.”
“Ha.. Who knew that you would come in to the rooftop all at once..”
Fortunately, Sua and Minji stopped Yang Ji-seok from pushing down, but the damage was not normal.
He was thought of as an insignificant person in a friendly match, but when there are more people to sympathize with, he seems to become stronger exponentially.
‘I knew how to move first.’
The problem was that the top and bottom came in at the same time. I only have one body, so it’s impossible to block both sides at the same time.
“Sua. It’s Minji.”
“… What.”
“Ha.. Why are you calling me?”
Both of them seemed to be in a bad mood, probably because they had taken a lot of damage from the beginning of the test. Still, I believe there are only two of them.
“Is it Yang Ji-seok? Was it worth dealing with that child?”
“That naughty bastard? He’s not playing trains or anything, he’s talking about a guy who has about six people behind his back?”
“Maybe?”
I’ve heard that you have to stay connected to another person to tune in, but that’s how you connect.
In response to my question, Minji started rubbing Soo Ah’s shoulders.
“If it wasn’t for Jeong Soo-ah, she would have been pushed back? She was arrogant, but it couldn’t penetrate the shield of her arrogance.”
“That… Not that much. I don’t know if she would be able to hold on if she continued..”
He tickled in front of me, but he did that in front of Minji.
Anyway, the protective film performance seems to be certain.
“You mean you can hold on anyway?”
“To some extent.. So you’re saying I didn’t go quickly enough to make a mistake?”
“What are you saying again? I just need to check.”
“What. Does knowing change anything?”
Guy Sua, saying he ate one shot is negative.
Did you ask if it would change if you knew?
“Of course it will change.”
“?”

“Now, let me check again. I’ll go to the first floor first and draw attention. Then, in the meantime, Ji-seok and you…”
“You mean to go to the rooftop? Stop because you already know.”
“Then I’ll check the number again. Do you remember well who is responsible for supplying magic power to Ji-seok?”
Priority was given to those who had a lot of mana but could not use it properly. There were a few people who were dissatisfied with Yang Ji-seok because of his bad personality.
If you want to win in the evaluation, you’ll have to accept holding your shoulder.
“Typhoon.. Do I have to?”
“That’s right.. That guy’s eyes are kind of unpleasant..”
Although female cadets came to complain about it, Kim Tae-pung somehow persuaded them to send them.
After losing the last friendly match, it seemed that a lot of people had lost faith in Yang Ji-seok. However, from the standpoint of facing Yang Ji-seok himself, he was never a cadet with poor skills.
If Yang Ji-seok had more mana than he does now, he would probably be a tough opponent to win.
Because he is a skilled person who has everything from improvisation, situational response, and magic casting speed.
‘It’s a problem with my lack of magic power, but if the others help me, it’ll be fine.’
The bad perception of Yang Ji-seok was rather a good thing from the blue team’s point of view.
While he was focused on himself, when Yang Ji-suk starts to show his true abilities, he will be able to inflict a mortal wound on the red team.
Kim Si-woo must also be wary of Yang Ji-seok, and if he goes to the first floor and causes a commotion, he will naturally draw attention to himself.
I was thinking of drawing power from that side with it. If there is Kim Si-woo among those people, he would be perfect.
“Okay, how many minutes do you have left?”
“Looks like 30 minutes left.”
“Then, I ask you to familiarize yourself with the operation again.”
“Okay. Typhoon!”
In general, we have no choice but to prioritize defense from the deadliest. Therefore, the first floor and the rooftop, which can be said to be the outermost part of the building, will inevitably be pushed to the bottom of the list.
Besides, going around to set up the magic circle during the preparation time would inevitably be exhausting. So right after the preparation time was over, it could be said that it was the weakest moment.
Kim Tae-pung raised his mouth at his perfect strategy.
‘Kim Si-woo, how will he come out?’
Without knowing that the other person already knows everything.
