chapter 213
213 – Side Story 12
When I think about it, I’ve never gone through the gate before.
When a gate was created, it was normal for monsters to pop out together.
It was common for the gate to disappear along with all the monsters.
The gate that hasn’t been processed yet becomes a dungeon.
It is said that the inside is an independent world different from Earth.
There was a survey that found that no matter how much you measure its area, it is only the size of a city.
“…”
“…”
In that sense, what I was seeing now was very foreign.
First of all, it is so large that it seems excessive, and cannot be compared to a dungeon.
What you see isn’t everything. You can tell by looking at the flow of magical power.
I know very well that the flow of magic power inside the dungeon was only felt at that level.
The people gathered here are all battle-hardened and of the highest level.
Since people basically read everything about the flow of magic power, it will feel even more real.
“Lina.”
“I checked without you telling me. … To conclude, this is absolutely not a dungeon. What do you think, brother? I’m in the combat department, but my brother is an assistant, and that’s in the detection and measurement department. In terms of accuracy, my brother’s is more accurate than this one.”
“… “I checked it several times and it’s the same.”
As Irina said, this is not a dungeon.
It is a world beyond the gate that no person with special abilities has ever seen.
No, maybe this gate is just a ‘door’ created by chance.
There is a possibility that everything you see beyond has nothing to do with monsters, gates, or dungeons.
Since we don’t know a single thing, it’s hard to even make predictions.
“Examiner. What are you going to do?”
While fiddling with the sword handle, Kim Soo-hyun asks Baek Seo-jin’s intentions.
There are enough people. If you ask to go further here, you can do so.
But others have no idea about the situation here.
We need to receive more reliable support and fill the vacuums of those who will go beyond.
There may be a way to enter after taking care of all those parts.
“Let’s just go in, Examiner! The whole team is here! There are other people too!!”
Of course, like Lee Hyun-woo, there will be those who want to meet first and see.
“Junior. Stay quiet. “The current situation is very different from usual.”
“No. I also agree with the chick’s opinion there. There’s no reason to take it out now, right? My brother would be there, and I would be there too. And our chicks… You can make at least one serving. Isn’t it?”
In response to Irina’s words, her words, Lee Hyun-woo said, ‘Can’t you!’ ‘That’s right!’ She nods her head enthusiastically.
In response, Dasom Yoo let out a sigh, and Hana Kang touched her chin as if she was worried.
“What are you going to do, Examiner?”
Kim Soo-hyun once again asks about my team leader’s decision.
I will follow whatever he decides anyway, so there is no problem.
With those strong-willed eyes shining.
“… Mr. Jiyoon.”
After thinking about it for a while, Baek Seo-jin called Han Ji-yoon who was next to him.
“I delivered this to the association.”
“Yes. Of course. I even sent a video.”
“Please contact the association again. Contact all countries and stay alert as much as possible, just in case. And send the spare power right here and put it on standby.”
“… Are you trying to enter?”
“Yes. “It may not be right now, but it will happen.”
I thought about it, but in the end, there was only one answer. You need to understand the situation.
If this is the land of monsters, you must attack and inflict damage.
If it were a completely different world, you would have to check whether it was an ally or an enemy.
The world is busy enough just with fighting monsters.
If something else overlaps here, it goes beyond being busy and moves on to a difficult level.
No, maybe it can be said that it is already difficult enough now.
“Then, who will go beyond here and investigate?”
“Of course…”
Baek Seo-jin paused for a moment and looked at his teammates.
In my heart, I want to be with my teammates like this.
We spent a lot of time training together, and now we are the most trustworthy colleagues.
However, there were a few things that bothered me.
He says he believes the existence of another world is very likely.
Not them. There is absolutely no reason to believe that.
You might think that the area across the gate is the monster’s base.
And if the beyond is really not another world, but just the middle of hell.
If it’s a place full of monsters that can’t be compared to this place.
In the worst case, you may suffer serious damage and retreat in a hurry.
It is not a matter for the leader to decide on his own.
We need to hear opinions. What do they want to do?
“Your worries are useless, examiner!!”
Huh?
“I just noticed you were thinking that! It could be dangerous, so our team goes in! You can’t say that confidently, but you’re trying to ask our opinion! “Am I wrong?!”
Oh my god I didn’t know that Lee Hyun-woo would be so perceptive.
When it comes to dating, I’ve become a guy who just eats up things like wit.
Also, he seems to have better insight than anyone else when it comes to combat.
“I’m definitely going! Once the monsters have their base, they fight! Or not!”
“Well, student Hyunwoo Lee. It may not be that simple. If we do something wrong, we may have to prepare for damage on our part…”
“That won’t happen, examiner.”
The person who quietly steps forward is Yu Dasom, who is in charge of the team’s treatment.
She continued her words, looking at her white paper as she stood with her arms crossed.
“There is no damage to us. Even if it happens, I will completely heal everything. So, it’s no reason to worry about that. When we come back, no one will be hurt and whining!”
“And we just have to stop them from coming near before they get hurt!”
Even Kang Ha-na comes forward and guides him to make decisions as the leader of the team.
Baek Seo-jin smiled at the team members’ opinions without realizing it.
Talk-
And then Kim Soo-hyun carefully touched Baek Seo-jin’s hand and said.
“We will do everything together. We will go anywhere together. At least I will definitely do that.”
I think Kang Min-seong would be a little disappointed if he heard it.
I look at Han Ji-yoon with a slightly foolish thought.
“No more, no less, our team here will go in. It’s me, Suhyeon. Hyunwoo Lee, Dasom Yu, Hana Kang. And…”
“You’re not trying to get rid of me, are you?! Even though I say I’m not active, I’m definitely an honorary team member here!”
Irina screamed and came next to Baek Seo-jin. So, I stand opposite Kim Soo-hyun.
I can say that I feel a strong will not to let these two go even if I die.
“In the past, even if you asked me to do some work, I wouldn’t do it…”
Han Ji-yoon touches her forehead and sighs as if she is remembering the past.
Anyway, I’m glad that the staffing process seems to have been completed.
Everyone has a strong will and their skills are all aces.
“I’m still a little worried. Because for the two S-class forces, several A-class members are missing. “If this goes on and something happens, won’t I have to act like a dog again?”
“That’s exactly what you were aiming for, Jiyun! “I’ll go and get some honey so you can have a hard time!”
“… Hey. You come here. You really!”

Those who will prepare for emergencies have been organized on behalf of those who will go beyond the gate.
Now all that remains is for the designated team to enter beyond the gate.
“What should I do if I go in and it’s really a monster’s lair, examiner?”
“Is there something wrong? Of course, I have to catch them all. “My chick is making strange noises.”
“It would be okay if the grade was low, but if it was grade A or higher…”
“Then everyone will fight with their teeth clenched and get out. “The gate isn’t closed yet, right?”
As Irina said, the entrance to the gate was still intact.
There must be a condition that it closes when all the monsters disappear.
Since there isn’t a single monster, that condition seems completely unrelated.
“The surroundings… Hmm, I feel like I’m in the countryside somewhere.”
Lee Hyeon-woo, who was looking around, muttered that.
And the others also nodded, saying that was correct.
These are scenes that have never been seen in a dungeon before.
It is very quiet and secluded, and above all, you can even hear the birds chirping.
There are no creatures other than monsters inside the dungeon.
If you think about it, this place could not be considered the inside of a dungeon.
“Wait a minute.”
Baek Seo-jin, who was moving ahead, signals to stop with a hand signal.
As the team members quickly lowered themselves, Kim Soo-hyun, who was next to them, approached.
“Is it a monster?”
“… That’s not it, it’s because it feels like something is happening.”
At the place he pointed to, there was a small village.
Okay. Town. It is none other than the space where ‘people’ live.
‘It really served as a door connecting to another world? What kind of situation is this?’
After that, things went the same way as they always do.
I met the people here and tried to say hello to each of them, but I couldn’t communicate at all.
First, we looked for a way to show that there was no hostility towards each other.
After a while, she was used by a man and woman in strange clothes who came from somewhere and used her magic.
“Uh. Examiner. “I can suddenly hear what they are saying?”
I wondered if I could feel the flow of magical power, but I was wondering if this was the interpretation magic I had only heard about.
When Baek Seo-jin said hello again, thinking that, the answer he received was-
“Are you from there by any chance?”
“… ?”
It had content that was completely incomprehensible.
