Chapter 42 – 042 Scales of Fortune (4)
***
[ Start step 6. ]
Yoon Seo-ah, who had been staring at her target with concentration for a long time, turned her eyes to the sudden sound of a notification.
“Ten minutes ago…”
Yoon Seo-ah moved back with an excited expression. She saw targets with white circles and red circles passing through the air, but she didn’t look back.
Without hesitation, she lifted her remote control and exited her practice mode.
[End of magic clay shooting mode. ]
10 minutes later, the time she promised to meet Kang Min-ji and Kim Si-woo, Yoon Seo-ah confirmed her condition with her excited expression.
“Should I eat the magic potion beforehand?”
In order for her to deal with Kim Si-woo and Kang Min-ji alternately, it was better to fill up her magic power.
Normally, it was Yun Seo-ah’s daily routine to train alone until her magical energy was exhausted.
It takes a long time for her to recover from exhaustion, so she used her magic until just before exhaustion.
To become stronger, no matter how hard and tiring it was, she always did it every day without stopping.
She could endure hardships, but it was difficult to endure loneliness. When she felt lonely she pushed herself further.
As she was spending her days like that, she met Kang Min-ji and Kim Si-woo.
At first, she thought she just wanted to see Kim Si-woo’s anti-ma ability.
She wanted to feel the ability of Kim Tae-hwan, the hero who saved Korea, and the blue light that burns cleanly and cleanly as if she would purify everything.
Her relationship that began like that has continued to this day.
The two were different from others. Even after experiencing Yoon Seo-ah’s overwhelming force, there was no change in attitude.
I didn’t get jealous or envy like others.
She doesn’t look at her with envy or fear and treats herself normally.
No matter how many times he was defeated in Dalian, he continued to attack without giving up.
‘Kim Si-woo.. Keeps teasing me..’
Until now, no one had treated Yoon Seo-ah like that.
That’s why she was happy to be with them.
Watching the two of them grow little by little, I felt like I was moving forward little by little.
“I won’t lose today either..”
In order to enter the DIA training room, Yoon Seo-ah needs to accompany her.
Every time Yoon Seo-ah couldn’t wait, so she usually contacted the two of them when they arrived below.
“5 minutes..?”
Strangely, it felt like time was passing slowly.
I kept looking at the watch, but the time didn’t go well according to today.
After a while like that, the promised time finally came and Yoon Seo-ah checked her own smartwatch.
“…”
The smart watch, which should normally ring, did not ring.
“…”
She might be a bit late, so Yoon Seo-ah kept waiting. Time passed like that, but there was no news.
When there was no contact after 30 minutes, Yoon Seo-ah only checked her smart watch with a sullen expression.
“Should I… Call?”
At that time, Seo-ah Yoon hurriedly checked the smart watch that made her vibrate.
[Kim Si-woo: I’m sorry Seo-ah, I think we can’t both go because something happened today, I’m sorry I contacted you late]
“…”
Yoon Seo-ah stood up with a gloomy expression.
“Something urgent must have happened…”
Yoon Seo-ah let her shoulders droop and operated her remote control again.

She ran to the bank with Kang Min-ji before this, but in the end, she couldn’t save her mother-in-law.
How sadly Kang Min-ji cried at that time, she will kill all those bastards.
“You’re not going to tell me where you’re going.”
She moves with Minji and tries to figure out her movement, but she goes alone until the end, so she has no choice but to go to the bank alone.
It would be hard to believe even if I said there was a terrorist attack at the bank, and I wasn’t sure if I should tell Minji that I had the ability to return.
‘Since nothing is changing right now… Let’s start by gathering information.’
The Stade Bank here is a large bank, and the entire building was a bank building.
Spaces available to the general public, VIPs, and securities firms used by corporations are all separated on each floor.
There was also a rental safe where you could store valuables for a fee, and you could use anything from a small safe to a large safe.
‘Security is okay’
F~E level hunters are working as security, and when I looked up the introductory text, it was said that each safe had a barrier.
‘In other words, it takes time to force open the safe…”
When time drags on, the police naturally come running.
There is also a portal nearby, so the anti-terrorist unit can come quickly, and it seemed difficult to escape by robbing the safe.
‘In the movie, they ran away after negotiating as hostages…’
They blew up the bank after a certain amount of time without even negotiating. There were too many bombs to say that they used bombs to break the barrier.
I can’t have made a stupid mistake, and I don’t know why they blew up the bank itself.
If money was the purpose, would there be a reason for it?
“I’m not trying to kill myself.”
Considering the power of the explosion, it was difficult to guarantee their own safety. It might be a guy wearing a black mask, but it was difficult for the rest of us to hold on.
“Hmm…”
To find a way, the first step was to gather information.
The cadet uniform was too conspicuous, so I went into the bank wearing moderately neat clothes.
The interior had a much more luxurious feel than other banks, but it didn’t seem to be much different from other banks, perhaps because it was accessible to the general public as well.
In a large bank in downtown, there seemed to be a lot of people because lunch time overlapped.
‘Has Minji not come yet?’
When I think of the time I was supposed to meet Yoon Seo-ah, it was strange that Kang Min-ji was left at the bank at the time of the terror attack.
Minji, who keeps her appointments on time, can’t be late on purpose, is she doing something else?
‘Well, that’s not important… Do you have about 15 minutes left?’
With 15 minutes left until the terrorist attack, I deliberately entered just before I got up because I was afraid that if I came too early and looked around the bank without doing anything, it would be suspicious.
There were many users, but it was difficult to find suspicious people. The only suspicious ones were the women who kept staring at them, but they didn’t look like robbers.
‘Wouldn’t it have been a joke if I had come in my cadet uniform?’
If I had come in my cadet uniform, the staring at me would have been worse than now.
If you live as a handsome man, you can’t even dream of going undercover.
For now, he moved to a corner to avoid his gaze. Considering the remaining time, there was a high probability that there would be terrorists among them.
‘I don’t think they are…’
While checking people, a cute-looking girl walked this way.
“?”
“Hey… Oppa, do you have a girlfriend?”
It looked quite pretty, but it was far short of Minji. Still, I didn’t feel bad because this cute girl approached me first.
This had never happened before, but I smiled naturally.
I refused with a smile as soft as possible.
“Yes, I am. I’m sorry.”
“No! You don’t have to apologize!! .. Drink even this!”
After handing over a can of coffee, he flinched and avoided the seat.
__Is that oppa a celebrity?
__ Wow really.. I thought my heart stopped when I laughed~
Looking at the cute figure, I felt like my impatience was calmed down.
For now, I tried to find some stability by drinking coffee, but there was a small post-it attached to the coffee can.
There was a number written in a cute handwriting along with the words to call me.
‘They won’t get caught up in terrorism, right?’
It hurt my heart to think that such children would also be caught up in terrorism. But there was someone else that I prioritized.
‘My mother-in-law and Minji come first’
I looked around to see if my mother-in-law was working nearby, but I didn’t see anyone presumed to be her mother-in-law among the bank tellers.
‘Are you working upstairs?’
Seeing that Kang Min-ji hadn’t come in by this time, there was a high probability that he was with him upstairs.
‘Are you two together?’
The time was getting closer, the moment when they would appear. Just then, as fate would have it, a fat man in a janitor’s outfit came in.
‘That body type.. I’ve seen it clearly?’
Among the men I defeated before meeting the black mask, there was a rather fat man. I remember it being about the same size as that.
I wasn’t sure, but I decided to follow the man for now.
It passed through the bathroom and went into the corner. It looked like a warehouse, a place where cleaning supplies were kept, but somehow suspicious.
In addition, the man’s behavior of plugging a wireless earphone into one ear while looking around made everything look suspicious, perhaps because he knew in advance that a terrorist attack would occur.
‘It looks suspicious just by looking at it?’
I just instinctively felt like a bastard. The guy opened the warehouse door without knowing anything.
‘The warehouse… Is there a bomb there?’
I jumped at him the moment the door opened.
Unsure of its identity, he struck the scruff of the neck with the blade of his hand to stun it. Considering that he was a normal person, he also cared about power.
“Ahh!!!”
He screamed, but he didn’t faint.
‘In the movie, he just collapsed!’
It seems that it was also an act that required skill. I raised his fist before he could scream.
Before he came to his senses, he hit him on the chin again and again and the man collapsed.
He was going to knock me down cleanly, but I don’t know how many times he hit me.
‘Can’t I help it because I’ve never done it before?’
I dragged the staggering man down and went into the warehouse. There was an item hidden behind a tent behind the cleaning supplies.
“Bingo”
The number of magic bombs that appeared after clearing the tent caught my attention, and the double security was maintained to prevent the leakage of magic power.
And the green jumpsuit and weird mask in the corner. The guys were certain.
“Bomb…”
Numerous magic bombs, if they exploded at once, the result was obvious. Even if I caught them, it would be meaningless if this bomb exploded.
“Are you going into the inventory?”
I lifted one of the bombs and put it in my inventory. Then the bomb in his hand went into his inventory.
“Okay.. Good”
I remembered that I had put earphones in earlier, so I pulled out the earphones from the fallen man’s ears.
The fat man was frothing as if he had hit him too hard.
“.. It doesn’t matter because he’s a villain, right?”
When I put the earphones in my ears, I heard someone’s voice.
“Donut! Why are you suddenly silent? Donut?”
It was a donut, a title that went well with a man.
‘What do we do?’
It was clear that he would be suspicious if he didn’t say anything, and it was clear that he would notice the change even if he said something.
“…”
The other person’s words were cut off, and after a while, the other person opened his mouth.
“You are listening now.”
“…”
“Who are you?”
