Possessed an Academy Security Guard

24 – 024. (An episode in which the weak protagonist finally gets to work)

“President. You must go soon.”

The secretary with a fierce look said so. At those words, Park Moo-jin, president of the Green House, raised his heavy body buried on the sofa.

His body is not the same as it used to be in the old age. No matter how superhuman they are, they are equal in front of old age. He was dissatisfied with his body, which was getting weaker day by day.

“Yes. Depart.”

“I will guide you.”

-Dubuck. Tboob.

-Ttogak. Again.

The regular sound of shoes echoed through the long hallway.

“…… Anyway, I’m surprised. To think that the president himself would observe the exam himself.”

“I wanted to see the hot topic in person. I heard that the special task force and the 2nd team leader and the guards fought in relation to the staff transfer?”

“Fight…… It’s not even like that. It was just a casual argument.”

“If you are, then it must be so. What kind of friend is the member taking the test this time?”

“My name is An Su-ho. This is a member of the general department who passed the public recruitment for the general department last time. The superhuman level is E-class.”

At the secretary’s words, the president widened his eyes in amazement.

“E grade? E-class? Are you saying that the 2nd team leader is trying to appoint an E-class superman despite the opposition of others? Do you have any special abilities?”

“According to the report, the information power is a little different.”

“What is information power?”

“Professor Shin Jin-woo’s monster sample smuggling case. It is said that it was the agent who reported the incident.”

“I see.”

He knew that the 2nd team leader was attracting talented people from all directions with various connections. It was something he had known but tolerated.

The secretary gave the president a brief explanation of Ahn Su-ho’s activities from the interview until recently.

“I see. Recently, the 2nd team leader has been arbitrarily selected for over a week……. Then, isn’t it no different than a special department already? Why are the other team leaders objecting now?”

“Because it is completely different from being different from special assignments and actually belonging to special assignments. You know The special task force and members must have high self-esteem.”

“It’s pride that matches your skills.”

A proud smile hung on the lips of the president who said that. It was because he was the initiator of the special measures and establishment of the National Guard.

It has been seven years since he became president. There have been countless achievements he has made so far, but if he were to pick the best among them, he would pick the Special Countermeasures Division without any hesitation. To that extent, his affection for the Special Countermeasures Division was extraordinary.

“How many people are watching?”

“The team leader and some team members from Teams 1 to 9. Special Countermeasures Division Manager and Ahn Soo-ho belonged to the general department team leader and his gunner. Other than that, it’s the chairman and one secretary in charge.”

“Chairman, why is that nobleman coming out again?”

“Isn’t the chairman and the 2nd team leader having a special relationship?”

“A special relationship? Can the team leader be the president’s lover?”

“This crazy.”

The secretary’s steps stopped. As her principal looked back at her, her secretary held her brow with a weary look on her face and let out a sigh.

“…… President. How many times have I told you to please change the habit of speaking without thinking?”

“I asked because I was curious, what makes you react so sensitively?”

“I want you to protect your dignity as the president of the academy. What would others think of you if they heard such vulgar words and actions?”

“Heh heh. There is someone else here besides you.”

“You know it well. I am there.”

“It’s okay because you don’t judge me for one or two mistakes I made.”

“It can’t be. I dare to say this, but I am watching all of the president’s every move and rating him inwardly. That vulgar remark just now was grounds for a significant deduction.”

The president chuckled at the secretary’s words. At first glance, it seemed rude, but it was normal for the two to play with words like this.

“Don’t laugh. I mean it.”

“Yes, yes. Be careful in my future Anyway, what is the relationship between the chairman and the 2nd team leader that makes them so special?”

“Are you asking because you really don’t know?”

“I ask because I don’t know. Would I ask even if I knew?”

At the natural virtuous words of the president, the secretary tried to sigh but swallowed it. I thought I might not know if it was something else, but if it was the circumstances of Team 2 Min, Chaeryeong Min. That thorough-minded Min Chae-ryeong was trying to hide her spirit. No matter how much he is in the position of president, he might not know.

“Do you know how many times the president has remarried? The second wife of the now divorced president is the mother of the second team leader. They are not related by blood, so to speak, the president is a stepfather to the second team leader. “

“Really? But surely the captain of the guard wasn’t the nobleman’s son?”

“That’s right. The captain of the guard is the third son of the chairman and current wife. Therefore, the 2nd team leader and the guard captain are step-siblings. Because they are not connected by blood.”

“Isn’t the captain of the guard the third wife’s child? Isn’t the captain of the guard older than the second team leader?”

“The head of the guard is a child born to the chairman of the board of directors through an affair while he was still married to his first wife. The affair partner is now his third wife.”

“What a mess.”

“I agree.”

The president knew that the head of the guard was the son of the chairman, but he had no idea that his family tree would be twisted this far. The president, who had been rolling his head for a long time and sorted out the family tree, smiled as if he was dumbfounded.

“That’s true. The two most outstanding people in the guards turned out to be the chairman’s biological son and stepdaughter. I just don’t know how to react.”

“I don’t know how to react. I felt the same way when you talked about fathers and daughters and their concubines.”

“Kuhm. You have arrived.”

Ignoring the secretary’s scolding, the president entered the examination room.

The test site was an open arena used for intramural ranking matches. In the center was a stadium made of shock-absorbing panels, surrounded by two-story spectator seats.

There were special countermeasures and team leaders sitting in the audience seats, each with their own team members. At the appearance of the president, the audience stirred once more.

Leaving them behind, the president looked down at the stadium. Two men stood at each end of a field the size of a basketball court. On one side was a special task force officer who remembered seeing his face a few times. The principal’s gaze naturally turned to the other side.

‘Is that An Su-ho?’

He is a little over 180 cm tall and has a solid physique. Maybe it’s because of his good proportions, but he was quite handsome. The president nodded, saying, “Isn’t the appearance quite plausible?”

A man who the 2nd team leader tried to embrace despite the opposition of the other team leaders.

Will that man be able to show a figure suitable for the Special Countermeasures Division? A smile filled with anticipation came to the lips of the president.

***

On the other hand, the spectator seats on the other side.

-Chief. Is Ahn Soo-ho really okay?

Chae-yeon Chae-yeon’s voice flowed from the tablet placed next to Min Chaeryeong. She was now watching her test site via video call from the safe house. It was because she couldn’t leave her seat because of Ji Ye-won.

-No matter how many Talismans there are, he is really bad at fighting. Back then, when I fought with the rookie, Ji Ye-won almost died because he made a mistake.

“Well? Do you think you can win?”

Despite Chae So-yeon’s concerns, Min Chae-ryeong was as relaxed as ever. Vegetable Yeon didn’t understand that leisurely.

-…… Do you really think he can pass this test?

At that question, Min Chaeryeong looked at the man who played the opposite role of Ahn Suho.

Jinhyuk Choi, a member of the Special Countermeasures Division. He was the man who was the direct subordinate of Team 7 Oh Tae-seong, who was the first to oppose this personnel transfer. His thoughts on Ahn Su-ho were similar to my team leader, but his eyes looking at Ahn Su-ho were extremely hostile.

The superhuman grade is the C grade, which is somewhat inferior in special departments. However, as much as he was a member of the Special Investigation Division, his skills were genuine. It was different from the C-class, which was widely spread outside.

On the other hand, what about Ahn Su-ho? The superhuman grade is the lowest grade, E grade, and even that is a chin-up.

Would he be able to win against Choi Jin-hyeok, who had just become a member of the security guard after working part-time jobs for 4 years without much experience?

Most people would think that, far from winning, even a fight worthy of a fight wouldn’t be established. Vegetables also thought so.

However, Min Chae-ryeong was the only one who predicted the victory of Ahn Su-ho.

‘Three days later, you’ll probably be surprised.’

A week ago, Ahn Soo-ho disappeared for three days, leaving only those words to her. She has her expensive equipment she provided.

At the time, I didn’t think much of it. It seemed like he was trying to gain experience in some dungeon, but it was questionable whether it would be of any great help.

Although he let me go because of his confident attitude, there was also a feeling of uneasiness inside.

However, after three days, Ahn Soo-ho appeared in front of her eyes.

Ahn Soo-ho, an E-class superhuman, no longer existed there.

-Then, since all the observers have gathered, we will start the special countermeasures and criminal record test for Ahn Su-ho from now on.

While I was lost in my thoughts, the words of the 4th team leader, who was in charge of refereeing, resonated throughout the stadium. The observers, who had been talking in groups of three to five, were silent at once and focused on the stadium.

-As previously announced, the test will consist of one-on-one sparring to measure overall combat ability.

-Dalian time is 10 minutes. If one side loses consciousness or is injured to such a level that it is judged that continuing the match is impossible, goes out of the arena or admits defeat, the match ends at that point. Other detailed rules follow the general rules of the current student ranking match.

-Apart from Dalian’s victory or defeat, whether or not Ahn Soo-ho passes the test is determined by a vote by official observers. Those who have the right to vote are the six special countermeasures and team leaders, the general department, and the two chiefs of the special countermeasures department, except for the referee, the 2nd team leader, and the 7th team leader. And there are a total of 11 people, including the chief of security, the president, and the chairman.

-This concludes the preliminary explanation. Both players, please step forward.

***

“…… So, let the two of you know that this is a sparring for evaluation, and never hurt your opponent more than necessary-.”

Choi Jin-hyeok looked at his opponent as he listened to the referee’s words about the spirit of fair play with one ear and let them out with the other.

‘Don’t pay attention to sparring or anything, and crush them overwhelmingly. Don’t worry about the rear end. I’ll take care of that for you.’

Before going to the stadium, the words Oh Tae-seong said flashed through his mind. I can’t stand to see Min Chae-ryeong trample her special department with dirt feet any longer. Oh Tae-seong said that to him.

It was not only for that reason that he had antipathy for Min Chaeryeong, but the cause that Oh Tae-seong mentioned was a part that Choi Jin-hyeok himself clearly sympathized with.

‘Does an E-class superman who doesn’t know where he came from dare to go over the special department?’

Pride in the special countermeasures division close to the idea of the chosen people. He was united by ego, and he did not like Ahn Su-ho’s existence.

He didn’t even have to distance himself because his boss told him to steal and beat him. Choi Jin-hyeok intended to literally turn Ahn Su-ho into porridge in this Dalian.

Choi Jin-hyeok glared at Ahn Su-ho with open hostility. However, Ahn Soo-ho turned his head towards Choi Jin-hyeok, but he was looking at something completely different from Choi Jin-hyeok.

It’s a pretty useful feature for a reward set by the Heavenly Demon of Pleasure, so after deleting Choi Jin-hyeok’s status window, he opened his own status window this time.

Compared to Choi Jin-hyeok, his abilities are shabby. However, considering the original ability, this was a great development.

Thanks to Yeo In-hyeok’s musculoskeletal alignment, his strength, agility, durability, and magical power each rise by one rank. In addition, plus correction by the breath of the morning star and an increase in the luck level of the security guard skill.

Although his stats are shabby, his current stats were the best he could have at this point.

Returning to his original seat, Ahn Soo-ho pulled out the sparring sword worn on his waist. Even if it was for sparring, it was a sword made of metal without an edge.

On the other hand, Choi Jin-hyeok was naked without any equipment. He bent his knees, palms facing forward, and breathed in silence.

A tense moment. Silence hung over the entire arena.

After confirming that the two were ready, the referee finally rang the gong announcing the start of the match.

– Ding!

-Kooung!

The next moment, Choi Jin-hyeok, who stepped on the ground with all his might, narrowed the distance in an instant.

Ahn Soo-ho aims his sword at him. However, his posture was a bit odd.

Aiming the sword parallel to the ground while holding the blade in one hand and the handle in the other hand.

The moment Choi Jin-hyeok questioned the pose as if he was aiming a gun, Ahn Su-ho’s sword body emitted black smoke.

-Pain!

“Keugh?!”

A mass of black smoke the size of a baseball collided with Choi Jin-hyuk’s arm. It’s quite a heavy pain to dismiss it as just a lump of smoke.

“What is this-.”

The second and third lumps of smoke hit Choi Jin-hyeok, who couldn’t figure out what it was.

-Pain! Fain! Fain!

Aiming the sword horizontally as a gun barrel, the smoke from his hand flew towards Choi Jin-hyeok like a bullet. His body, which had hardened his guard, slowly pushed back.

‘How did this happen? According to the data, it must have been a normal smoke screen ability?’

Choi Jin-hyeok can’t approach the heavy feeling of hitting his arms.

Meanwhile, Suho Ahn continued to fire black bullets with a smile of repentance. The fingers of his right glove were glowing in a pale blue color.

Ahn Soo-ho’s attack was an application of the blow he used when fighting the Assassin of the Dawning Corps.

Increased the speed, mass, and density of the smoke shot with the magic power absorbed through the talisman. However, he adjusted all of those figures to the extent that his body could handle them. Just like before, don’t fall down with just the recoil of a blow.

As a result, the power contained in the blow was incomparably weaker than before, but even that was nearly half the power of a rifle bullet.

It has no decisive killing power due to its large area, but it is perfectly sufficient for containment.

As if to prove this, Choi Jin-hyeok, who had been rushing in vigorously, was unable to move with his guard firmly on.

“What? Choi Jin-hyeok can’t even use it?”

“What are you shooting at? Is it an application of power?”

“Because he’s an E-class superman, I thought the decision would come at once, but he surprisingly does well. Are you saying that Team Leader 2 didn’t appoint you for nothing?”

Ahn Suho’s propaganda made the audience agitate. A smile of repentance was drawn on Min Chaeryeong’s lips.

-Kidduck!

On the other hand, on the other side. Choi Jin-hyeok’s boss, Oh Tae-seong, was grinding his teeth at the skit unfolding in front of him.

‘What the hell is that? Apparently, the database only listed it as a useless D-class smoke screen ability!’

It was the first time that the smoke was accelerated and shot like a bullet. At least, the information about Ahn Soo-ho he read did not contain such a fact.

‘I thought he wanted to be an E-rank brat simply because he was greedy for intelligence, but he seems to know how to imitate a fight.’

However, I really liked that fact. The important thing was that the general department members brought by Min Chae-ryeong consistently overpowered his subordinates.

“Jinhyuk Choi! Wake up! Anyway, he’s an E-class superman! If you just approach me, I won’t be able to compete with you!”

At Oh Tae-seong’s cry, the 4th team leader, who was in charge of refereeing, glared at him. However, Oh Tae-seong did not care about the referee’s gaze.

On the other hand, Choi Jin-hyeok was also thinking the same thing as Oh Tae-seong.

‘Yes. What the chief said is right. The opponent is an E-class superman. A single punch to the torso is sufficient to subdue it. Then-.’

Jinhyuk Choi focused his strength on the soles of his feet. His psychic power is Fa-Gyeong. It was a superpower that explosively increased the power of the next blow by continuously applying force to a specific part.

-Quaang!

Instantly, the power he had been concentrating on was released, and his body flew away with explosive momentum.

The distance narrows in an instant. The distance that each other’s fists can reach.

A smile of repentance appeared on Choi Jin-hyuk’s lips. Although it did well, the opponent was a long-distance specialized type that relied on superpowers. It is a victory for oneself more than approaching. I didn’t doubt that.

Choi Jin-hyeok’s head was sucked into Ahn Su-ho’s stomach.

-Pain!

At the same time, the morning star’s breathing emitted a red light.

– Huung!

Choi Jin-hyeok’s single shot cuts through the air. He was horrified that his own attack had missed. However, his shock was short-lived, and he immediately regained his composure and delivered the next blow.

– Huung!

A round kick that cuts through the air. It didn’t fit this time either. I bit my lip and fired the next blow.

– Wedges!

A sharply stretched dangsu. It didn’t fit either.

-Quaang!

Jin-Gak stepped on by surprise. It didn’t fit either.

-Pot!

A swiftly swung elbow. Didn’t fit likewise.

Innumerable consecutive strikes erupted from Choi Jin-hyuk’s limbs. Originally, the Palgeukquan is a martial art that subdues the enemy in one shot with efficient movements. Consecutive strikes were not his specialty, but each attack from his limbs could be called a one-hit kill.

But it doesn’t fit.

For some reason I can’t reach it.

No matter how hard it is, it’s useless if it doesn’t touch the enemy’s body. Ahn Soo-ho evaded all of Choi Jin-hyeok’s delightful blows with wind-like body movements.

‘Nonsense.’

Choi Jin-hyeok followed Ahn Su-ho’s movements. A rudimentary movement without any technique. Far from reading and reacting to the number of enemies, it was an incoherent evasion that barely began to move when it came close to them.

But despite this, the opponent in front of me avoided all the blows he fired.

What the hell is that? A question that popped into Choi Jin-hyuk’s mind. However, the answer was already in front of his eyes.

‘Nonsense.’

There was no skill or subtlety in Ahn Su-ho’s movements. He’s just fast The reason Choi Jin-hyeok’s attacks did not reach was for the simple and clear reason that his movements could not keep up with Ahn Su-ho’s speed.

‘At least an E-class superhuman reacts to my movements? No, faster than me?’

I don’t understand. It was an impression shared not only by Choi Jin-hyeok, the person involved, but also by everyone watching this match.

Except for only one person, Min Chaeryeong.

‘It’s still too early to be surprised.’

She smiled a little as she saw the breath of the morning star shining on Ahn Su-ho’s left arm. At that moment, the red light on her bracelet lit up once more.

Ahn Soo-ho, who had been completely evasive, switched to the offensive. Choi Jin-hyeok, who was dodging the sword that was being swung in all directions, was shocked.

‘It’s the same. Like evasion, attack has no skill. I just wield it wherever his hand takes me.’

But it was fast. Rather, it got faster. Ahn Soo-ho’s sword attack, which accelerated at a total speed of 4 times, hit Choi Jin-hyeok’s body mercilessly.

Unlike Ahn Soo-ho, he is a master of martial arts. He managed to react to the attack, but the difference in speed was so great that he had no choice but to allow some blows.

‘I lose? Only for an E-class superman? It can’t be like this. It can’t be like this!’

-Quaang!

Choi Jin-hyeok, who had widened his distance due to the heel of his foot, put his fist behind him and took a stance. An incomparable power began to condense in his grasp.

‘The moment he comes in, he feeds the bal-gyeong to the counter. His movements are like beginners. I can’t react to counters at close range!’

The team leaders in the spectator seats noticed Choi Jin-hyeok’s intention. Aiming for a single counter. It wasn’t the best move, but it was by no means a bad move.

It wasn’t meant to be.

-Ah.

Seeing Ahn Su-ho raising his sword above his head, Chae-yeon, who was watching the Dalian through video call, exclaimed.

Blue light shimmered from Ahn Su-ho’s body. The smoke from his hands enveloped the sword body and gushed out.

-It’s over.

The moment Ahn Soo-ho struck the sword.

A black night has come to the vast arena.
