Chapter 40 – 040 Scales of Fortune (2)
***
[The heroine ‘Kang Min-ji’ is in danger. ]
[ Current location: Stade Bank ]
“Whoa..”
In such a situation, we need to judge more dispassionately.
If you get too excited, it’s hard to judge properly, and sometimes you make mistakes.
‘It’s not as easy as it sounds’
Before that, it was an experience that made me tired of the cave and the one-on-one sparring.
How long has it been since I came out of the cave, and will this happen again?
‘It’s not even a sunfish.. Ha’
When I checked by manipulating the heroine system, Kang Min-ji’s name was still active.
‘I’m not dead… There is still time.’
It is fortunate that there is a heroin system. Can still be obtained
When you think of a dangerous situation in a bank, bank robbers naturally come to mind.
Considering the scale of the Stade Bank, robbers are not ordinary robbers.
‘Terrorist? Villain?’
Only the same Awoken could make an Awoken dangerous.
It wasn’t some kind of sunfish, and I couldn’t understand how long it had passed before this kind of danger came.
‘Machina! Do you know anything?’
[ … ]
I said goodbye to Yoon Seo-ah and ran straight away.
“I have to stand, I have work, so I’ll go!”
“Uh… Sleep…”
She heard Yoon Seo-ah calling from behind, but she couldn’t help it. The important thing now is that Kang Min-ji is in danger.
‘Just stay alive. Please!’
The Stade Bank was half an hour away from here.
If you use the portal near the academy, you should be able to arrive in about 15 minutes.
‘Fifteen minutes is too long!’
1 minute 1 second was precious. I stomp impatiently down the elevator and start running right away.
Since the training room was inside the academy, there was no time to spare.
[ User Siwoo Kim ]
‘I don’t have time right now!’
[I have information to tell you. ]
‘Do you know why Minji is like that?’
[I can’t give you detailed information as I am also bound by rules and laws…]
‘Only?’
I ran straight through the crossing where the signal did not change. A car was approaching from the side, so I jumped up and dodged it.
The car passing behind stopped belatedly making an unpleasant sound, and I heard the driver’s voice, but I ignored it and ran.
[It is not easy to change your destiny first. ]
[The higher the level of fate, the more… I’m sorry. ]
“?”
[This seems to be the limit. ]
[ Proceeding beyond this may cause system problems. ]
[Still, if Kim Si-woo wants it, I’ll tell you more. ]
“No! Are you okay!!”
I didn’t quite understand what he wanted to say, but at least I could see that he wanted to help me.
‘What if there is a problem with the system and the save cannot be loaded?’
Just thinking about it is terrifying. I cleared my mind and ran towards the bank where Minji Kang was.
As I ran with all my might, I quickly saw a portal. Fortunately, there seemed to be no waiting line.
“Quickly! I’m in a hurry!!!”
***
The Stade Bank could be seen in the distance. Soldiers and police were encamped around the large building, befitting a large bank.
It seems difficult to get into the bank as access is completely controlled.
It seemed that a person who appeared to be a hostage was tied to the entrance of the bank, preventing even access.
‘Is it inside me?’
Since the system was telling me it was Stade Bank, it was clear that Kang Min-ji was currently inside a bank with restricted access.
‘It’s not too late…’
While I was thinking about how to get in, I heard an explosion inside the bank.
A very familiar sound, the sound of an explosion heard yesterday. The sound of exploding in succession was a sparring sound that I heard every time.
‘Isn’t it?’
And sounds cut off like lies.
In an instant, I felt my heart sink.
I hurriedly activated the heroine system, and Kang Min-ji’s name in the heroine window turned gray.
“Ha… It’s not even a fucking sunfish.”
I wanted to kill the guys in there right away.
‘Heart is hot, head is cold’
I calmed down my emotions as much as possible.
Since I saved last night, I can save Kang Min-ji just by loading it.
Rather, it was a better situation than in the cave.
‘It looks like PTSD is coming… ‘
First, I needed to organize my thoughts.
“Why did Manikana say that to me?”
Kang Min-ji chewed over what she said to me in a dangerous situation. ‘Changing fate is not easy’ and ‘The higher the fate grade, the better…’
A person with a high rank and a fate that is hard to change.
‘I haven’t changed Minji’s fate yet.’
It seemed to mean that he had increased his lifespan by coming out of the cave, but he had not yet escaped from the shadow of death.
Even the seemingly omnipotent Deus Ex Machina system is bound by some powerful force.
Kang Min-ji also meant that he was bound by some force.
‘Since I said it was the limit earlier, I can’t ask more.’
Makina was helping without breaking the rules.
It just crossed the line, and it seems there is a backlash.
‘Am I free because I’m F grade?’
[ … ]
Conversely, it meant that I, with a low grade, could easily change my fate.
‘What is the fate level?’
It’s not just about being strong.
The strongest person I know is Kang Min-ah, but her grade is A.
Among the people I know, the S ranks are Seoah Yoon, Suah Jung, and Joowon Kang.
‘What do the three of them have in common?’
Yoon Seo-ah and Kang Joo-won, who are receiving excellent reviews inside the academy, are a little behind, but Su-ah is less than Kang Min-ji.
‘How are ratings measured?’
If the grade speaks of importance, I couldn’t understand why Kang Min-ji, who was in the A grade, died.
At that time, I saw the hero I was watching on TV from afar.
‘Hero..?’
It’s the same Awakener as Hunter, but the work it does is a little different.
If hunters protect people from gates, heroes protect people from villains.
‘Although there are many cases of hunting for money’
Since the hero also works with a certain amount of pay, it could be said that it is similar.
Still, the hero side is more active with a sense of duty.
Anyway, to put it simply, Hunters are experts at dealing with monsters, and Heroes are experts at dealing with villains.
‘A rank silver rabbit, did you come this far because the scale is so large?’
Silver Rabbit is a popular hero thanks to his bunny mask, long hair, and suit that highlights his figure.
I couldn’t see his face, but I felt like he was a beauty.
The reason Silver Rabbit didn’t reveal his face was to prevent retaliation against his family or acquaintances, and there were quite a few heroes like that.
He is one of the most recognizable heroes with high rank and popularity.
In terms of popularity, neither Yoon Seo-ah nor Kang Min-ah can beat Silver Rabbit.
‘What is the grade of the Makina Silver Rabbit?’
[ Fate grade C. ]
‘A grade C?
Can Silver Rabbit get a C rank?
Not by force, not by influence, not by name, but by what method is fate graded?
I didn’t get a feel for it at all. I decided to stop worrying.
‘The first thing to prioritize is.’
Saving Kang Min-ji.
No matter what, save Kang Min-ji.
Change the damn fate.
“It’s already been done.”
I have already changed my destiny.
[… I will support you. ]
There’s nothing like fate
***
Before loading, I wanted to check the faces of those who killed Kang Min-ji.
‘Revenge. Trash’
Before loading the save point, I wanted to run to the bank, wanting revenge, but I couldn’t see a gap because the special forces were controlling it.
“A cadet at the Korean Academy?”
As I rushed recklessly, the unit member who found me muttered.
As Daehan Academy is the best academy in Korea, it is a place where many powerful people gather, so I had to be cautious.
“I also want to contribute.”
The fact that even the Silver Rabbits were dispatched meant that the terrorists inside were awakened.
If it was an ordinary robber, there was no reason for an A-rank silver rabbit to mobilize.
Even special forces cannot deal with the Awoken.
‘You won’t die from a gun or a bomb, that’s for sure’
So, usually in this situation, the special forces evacuate civilians or assist the heroes.
If it’s an incident that requires special forces to assist, one Awakener will be disappointed.
“… No matter how much I can’t go back”
“Let me meet the commander!”
I decided to stop thinking about loading it anyway. It doesn’t matter if I die, so I must avenge Minji and die.
“There’s a friend of mine in there!!”
“I can’t!”
The special forces tried to push me away, but since I had already escaped my human body, even two of them were not enough.
As it got more and more noisy, I reported it to someone who seemed to be of high status, and then came back.
“I’ll let you meet the commander, so please don’t make a fuss.”
“All right.”
He looked at me with worried eyes, but he had no intention of causing a fuss. It didn’t matter as long as I could somehow get revenge on them.
As I passed the desolate atmosphere of the special forces, I saw a tent that looked like a command room. Inside, there was a hero he had seen from afar.
‘A Rank Silver Rabbit’
A hero with a C rank destiny grade. I didn’t notice it when I saw it from a distance, but it was definitely different when I saw it up close.
‘Still, it’s not as good as our Minji..’
The Silver Rabbit, who was talking with the commander who had been briefed on the situation, came this way.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t get help from you.”
“I have a friend in there!!”
The criminals who killed Minji are over there, but I couldn’t go back without doing anything.
“I know how you feel right now. But can you trust me and wait for me?”
“Yes..”
I nodded knowingly, and the silver rabbit stroked my hair.
I left the command room with a grim expression.
On the way out following the troops, I turned my head and saw the bank entrance.
It was a distance that could be reached in an instant by leaping using magic. There were no Awoken people around.
‘Sorry sister!’
Hearing the sound of astonishment behind him, he leaped toward the bank entrance.
“What!”
The terrorist guarding the entrance was startled and attacked. I immediately took out the sword from my inventory.
‘Enable Anti-Magic’
A terrorist attack that cuts cleanly, I stabbed him to get revenge on them.
“Hehe…”
There was no guilt. Ignore the hostages and enter the bank.
“Ki… Kim Si-woo student!!!”
I ignored the Silver Rabbit’s voice. When I went inside, I was greeted by guys wearing strange masks.
“What? Fuck”
“What’s the matter?”
It’s time for revenge.
