Chapter 4 – Out of Gate 004
*
Every time Minji, strengthened by my skill, swings his fist, the skeletons start to shatter.
“…”
Minji’s face was blushing, perhaps because of the memory of the moment, but he calmly swung his fist, probably because of his combat experience.
‘In a little while, that bastard will move.’
I saved my stamina by smashing the heads of the skeletons that Minji missed.
The Skeleton Soldiers seemed to have a hard time dealing with Minji, who had body strengthening effects applied.
“J.. Can I really believe you?”
As the Skeleton Knight started to move, Minji asked in a worried voice.
“Believe me.”
“On the topic of steaming…”
Minji muttered that and moved his body without rest. Like a skeleton belonging to the weakest monster, it was weakly broken by Minji’s fist.
Fortified with my semen, Minji didn’t look tired yet. As the number of skeletons continued to decrease, the Skeleton Knight finally moved.
An attack that runs at once and aims for Minji’s gap.
“Kyaaaaagh!”
However, I didn’t let Minji attack me, who was behind me.
He moved his sword right away, enduring the heavy impact he felt on his wrist.
Because he already knows where his next attack will lead, he moves without a moment’s hesitation.
‘A stabbing attack that swings down from the right and continues.’
My physical ability might be inferior to that guy’s. However, it is not enough to block his attacks.
Because everyone knows how to move.
“Be careful!!”
The stabbing attack that followed immediately was blocked at the perfect timing and flowed away. After that, he swung his sword without a break in the attack of the guy that followed.
Although I can only defend myself, I felt as if I was embarrassed to see me continue to block my own attacks.
“Don’t mind me, just take down the rest!!”
“Even if you say so..!”
The guy who continued to attack showed gaps as if he was taking his time.
I already knew from experience that it was a gap that I intentionally showed.
The moment you react to it and attack, aim for his left arm and attack.
‘I’ll take that much!’
The moment I rushed in, his sword aimed at my left arm, but I did not avoid it.
Give the bones and take the flesh.
The shoulder straps holding the armor together were severed, revealing its weakness between its ribs.
[ Pain tolerance reduces pain. ]
“Siwooya!!!!”
I felt a strong pain, probably from the knife stuck in my left arm, but I didn’t stop and continued with the next attack.
His response was a little slow, as if he didn’t know that he would rush at it without removing the knife while it was stuck.
Skeleton knight pulling out the sword belatedly, I felt strong pain, but I didn’t hesitate.
As expected of a low-level hunter-slayer, he took an attacking stance right away.
If he rushed like this, it seemed clear that he would be skewered by the Skeleton Knight’s sword.
Even knowing that, I didn’t stop and ran.
“Die!!!!!!!!!!”
I felt intense pain in my abdomen, but my sword touched his heart.
The trembling face of the Skeleton Knight, he must have never seen such an ignorant human being.
“Minji, please..”
“Kim Siwoo!!!!!!!!!!”
I just lost consciousness.
*
Outside the gate, a woman stood restless and nervous.
Her identity is Kang Min-ah, a former A-ranker. She is currently teaching at the academy after her retirement.
She was famous as a beautiful professor with brown wavy hair, attractive big breasts and a large silence followed, always maintaining her calm. But she couldn’t find any calm as now.
She just stared at her gate in front of her own, biting her nails. In front of him, men in research uniforms were checking the area around the gate.
The identity of the gate was a gate where Kang Min-ji and Kim Si-woo entered and got stuck.
It was a practice dungeon managed by the academy, and it was already a gate used by many students because monsters that were not very aggressive came out.
Of course today, a gate mixing phenomenon occurred with an unbelievable probability. Gate mixing is a phenomenon that occurs when another gate opens at the coordinates of an already existing gate, and the two gates mix with each other.
“Has it not stabilized yet?”
“Yes.. It’s still unstable, so it’s not a situation where you can enter. I’ll probably have to wait another 30-40 minutes.”
“How can you not solve it sooner? There are students in me now!”
“Honestly, don’t you know that there’s no way, Professor?”
She knew that 30 to 40 minutes was ridiculous. She knew that without the best technicians inside the academy, she wouldn’t be able to stabilize it for much longer.
But her heart couldn’t understand. Kang Min-ji in the gate was her younger brother.
Because the two had many similarities in appearance, when she heard that Kang Min-ji was entering the school, she dyed her hair brown and permed it. She was there and she wore glasses and she was careful and careful.
Watching her from afar was her own little brother, good for her. How much her heart broke because she saw it was hard and couldn’t help it.
She kept the fact that her family, Kang Min-ji, a strict secret. She could not help Kang Min-ji in any way because she, of course, knew who she knew.
She helped out for no reason, and when that fact was revealed, nothing would improve for Kang Min-ji and Kang Min-ah.
As time passed, she felt exhausted.
‘Our lovable and pretty Minji… It’s not like she’s going to die, right? It won’t be, it can’t be..’
Kang Min-a couldn’t do anything, only her feet were rolling.
___ The professor also has that kind of side.
___ This is the first time I’ve seen gate mixing, that’s what happens?
___ Kang Min-ji and I were last in the whole school. She said there were only two of them.
___ What should I do because I feel sorry for Minji?
It felt like my nerves were sharpened by the whispers around me. But she knew very well that she was angry here and nothing was going to get better.
All she could do was wait.
‘Let’s calm down… Let’s calm down…’
Her mouth was dry and it felt difficult to breathe.
‘Let’s think positively.. Our Minji is a kid who can do anything, so this time will be okay too!’
As time passed, ominous thoughts began to take over.
The probability that Kang Min-ji, who is at the F+ rank level, and Kim Si-woo, who is an ordinary person who has not awakened, will survive the D- class gate is zero, almost 0%.
‘No.. D-Rank is approximate and not certain, so it would be possible to kill time with the equipment Siwoo Kim brought, right?’
All equipment is inspected before entering the gate. Kim Si-woo couldn’t awaken his ability, so he had to carry equipment for survival one by one.
However, it is impossible to last for a long time with such equipment.
‘No, you can’t think like this!’
Kang Min-a kept biting her nails to forget her nervous feelings.
“That professor’s hand is bleeding. Are you okay?”
“Ah.. I’m sorry. She must have looked not very good.”
Kang Min-ah wiped her blood with her handkerchief and wrapped her finger in the handkerchief. She then put on her usual expression, pretending she was okay.
She doesn’t have much time left Gradually she saw the gate becoming more stable. Then rescuers began preparing to enter the gate.
Kang Min-ah also volunteered for the rescue team. She had enough of her justification as two of her students were in charge.
‘I prioritize Minji over that man. As soon as she enters, follow the monster’s trail and you’ll find it right away.’
Time was life now. The wind started to move around her.
The academy’s security officer Kim Ji-hwan sensed an anomaly in the wind. It seemed like an accident was about to happen before she even entered.
The man had small eyes, but it looked like he had his eyes closed because he was staring at Kang Min-ah.
“Professor, how about calming down a little?”
She wanted to yell at Kang Min-ah, who was frantic at the entrance, but it was impossible due to Kim Ji-hwan’s status.
“Whoa.. You keep acting rudely. Sorry.”
Kang Min-ah was well aware that her actions were wrong. Kang Min-ji had to hide the fact that she was his younger sister, so there was nothing good for her to act like this.
But wouldn’t she rather survive than that, and if she died at the gate, all of this would be pointless.
“Honestly, the professor doesn’t know too well, that there’s no way an F-rank and an unrank can still be alive.”
“What does that mean? Do you want the students to die right now!”
“What are you talking about? That’s what reality is. Reality.”
“You have one minute left!”
“..”
To Kang Min-ah, one minute felt like a year. Regardless, Kim Ji-hwan opened her mouth wide and yawned.
A minute that seemed to last forever passed and as I was about to run to the gate, someone walked out from the inside.
“..Uh?”
“What?”
Kang Min-ji and Kim Si-woo, who was carried behind Kang Min-ji’s back, had an unbelievable miracle. The two must have been rolling on the dirt floor, and their equipment was soaked in blood.
“Student Kang Min-ji!”
“Uh.. Uh… No, Professor?”
“Are you seriously hurt? Are you okay?”
“I… No, I’m fine! Please save Siwoo!!”
Mina Kang, who was trying to jump into her gate at any moment, felt drained of her strength. She felt relieved and fortunate.
“He’s not feeling well! Please treat me!!!”
The waiting medical staff began to move Kim Si-woo onto a stretcher. He was roughly wrapped in bandages, but the bleeding hadn’t stopped yet, and the blood was still flowing.
“Is the student okay?”
“I don’t have any serious injuries… Can I wash it?”
Kang Min-ah started to support her Kang Min-ji. At first she didn’t know it, but her gait was somehow strange.
She wondered if she was injured in the dungeon, and she asked Kang Min-ji her question, paying attention to her tone.
“Student Minji, did you hurt her leg?”
“…”
In response to Kang Min-ah’s question, Kang Min-ji just kept her mouth shut.
