Chapter 47

Episode 47 [Black Smith]

As the sun was setting that day, Kyung-hoon returned to the island where the group was training.

The atmosphere of the nearby sea and fishing villages in Namdo that I observed while coming to the island was no different from before.

-CCTV is not installed on regular national highways in local areas. There is no need to mention any other roads. Unless public power is formally mobilized, it is impossible to find the island during the unity rally period.

Gyeong-hoon listened to Eve’s words and put down the luggage from the boat on the white sandy beach.

On the white sandy beach, a group of Awakened Association members were lying covered in dust. They just looked at Kyung-hoon’s arrival with resentment.

However, when bags that appeared to contain ice boxes and food were thrown onto the white sandy beach, the group jumped up.

“No way...something to eat?”

“I don’t want combat rations anymore!”

“meat! salad! Proper food!”

Fortunately, the boxes Kyung-hoon brought contained meat and various cooking ingredients.

That night, the group excitedly started an outdoor party despite their tired bodies.

The body of the awakened person was definitely different. People who had been dying a little while ago suddenly came back to life and were eating and talking excitedly.

Kyung-hoon and Jin-hyuk sat side by side at a distance and watched the scene.

“Was the training okay?”

“There were some people who were not suited to battle.”

He looked at the girl who had a happy expression on her face while holding a skewer in her mouth.

“But since the basic specifications are different, the training went well. “It was just a matter of getting everyone used to it.”

“Are you good at shooting too?”

“Although it was training with hunting shotguns, some of us had served in the military, so we all got used to guns.”

Kyung-hoon’s backpack contained several modified guns that he had acquired in Hong Kong. However, it was still difficult to bring it out in Korea.

“But I think it would be difficult to use those characteristics in battle. I think I need some actual practice to get a feel for it...”

Kyung-hoon nodded at Jin-hyuk’s words.

Jinhyeok, who had said that far, stopped talking. After a while, Jinhyuk opened his mouth again.

“I listened to my brother’s story while training. I heard that your brother is also an awakened person. It was my brother who saved them. To be honest, I had some doubts. “The first time I encountered a mutant monster, I survived and survived the incident unharmed.”

Kyung-hoon chuckled at Jin-hyuk’s words.

“They say it’s possible with my old skills.”

“So I was skeptical.”

Jinhyuk also smiled slightly and continued.

“Can you tell me what happened?”

Anyway, I was planning on telling you some of it. Kyunghoon opened his mouth.

He told me that he had awakened just before the factory mutation incident.

After that, he ended up getting caught up in a few incidents and now he joined an EV site and helped out with one or two things.

Of course, he couldn’t speak about dimensional travel, and since he couldn’t reveal Eve, he couldn’t say that EV was his.

But this alone was enough to make Jinhyuk dumbfounded.

“I guess the things you lamented about being unemployed every time you drank were all lies.”

“Well, wouldn’t it be okay to say I’m still unemployed?”

-The owner’s words are perfect for insulting someone who knows the truth.

Since Eve was the only one who knew the truth, I couldn’t help but feel like I had been scolded by Eve.

“Then did you expect that I would awaken?”

Jinhyuk asked, looking down at his clenched hands.

“Would you say that while experiencing various things, I developed the eyes to see the awakened?”

-It was clear that if I hadn’t been there, I wouldn’t have recognized it until awakening.

Kyung-hoon ignored Eve’s words and asked Jin-hyuk a question. Jinhyuk looked very confused.

“Then why are you so anxious?”

It didn’t look like Jinhyuk at all. Jinhyuk answered.

“What should I do next? Should I quit my job and hide like my brother?”

Jinhyuk was worried about what would happen next.

Even though he thought he might lose his job and have to go into hiding, he did the job Kyung-hoon gave him properly.

Kyung-hoon nodded at Jin-hyuk’s words.

“Well, in the current situation, it would be difficult for an awakened person to work as a civil servant. “I need to look for a new job.”

Jinhyuk shook his head at Kyunghoon’s words.

“Now we are in a situation where it is better to register as an awakened person. People also get scared when they see an awakened person in person. “There are no jobs.”

Kyunghoon laughed to himself.

According to the documents sent by Chairman Ha, the conglomerate already had several awakened people.

It was difficult to tell whether it was for research or whether it was being kept for the future, but it wasn’t impossible to get a job.

“Oh, where was I?”

As soon as the words were out, Deng took up a position in front of the group holding a military and police shield, and Gyu-gyu, who was less tired of the military, quickly grabbed a shotgun and stood behind Deng. However, the other people were clumsy. They could not even

stand in place and only moved around.

“Everyone come to your senses!”

Jinhyuk yelled at the group, but Kyunghoon just looked at the ragtag group from behind.

– Are you going to be okay?

“There will be no problem because Jinhyuk is there. If you really want to do anything, I can step forward.”

The hand that Gyeong-hoon turned back was already holding a pistol. The backpack he was carrying contained two swords. The black goat

monster rushed in right away.

Boom!

Fortunately, its size blocked the black goat’s advance. But the shield did not. It was strong. The military and police shields were shattered into pieces.

After that, it was all chaos.

“Ugh!”

“Running this way!”

Bang! Bang!

“Shoot!”

“Ugh! I can’t help it! You can’t use a gun!”

“Ugh! I’m scared!”

The big man blocked it with his body and Jinhyuk even struck him, but the group was busy running away from the black goat.

In the end, Gyeonghoon had no choice but to step forward and make the black goat monster retreat.

“Treat the injured people.”

Da-hee, who was just watching from behind, whimpered and glared at Kyung-hoon.

“I said it wasn’t hard...”

She left a few words to Kyung-hoon and ran to the groaning group.

After a while, Kyung-hoon shouted to the group whose injuries were healed.

“Did you rest well? Let’s do it again. We have to catch it by tomorrow. There is no time.”

The group looked at Kyung-hoon with white faces. This time, Jinhyuk looked at Kyunghoon with a similar expression.

With Gyeong-Hoon’s four attempts of luring and hunting, the party was eventually able to defeat the black goat monster.

It was a fight that ended with a large man holding on to the horns of an exhausted black goat and thrusting guns and other weapons from the side with great force.

The group collapsed on the floor without any signs of happiness, and Kyung-hoon collected the mana stone from the body of the black goat monster.

“It won’t be easy like this, right?”

-It may be better to use firearms, but it is difficult to differentiate yourself from soldiers.

“Can not help it. “It’s earlier than expected, but I have no choice but to make it appear.”

-Shall we proceed now?

Kyung-hoon nodded at Eve’s words.

-Then I will post it.

The moment Eve finished speaking, a new post was posted on the EV website bulletin board.

┗ Black Smith: Is there any way to connect with the Korean Awakened Association?

┗ Yes? What’s going on?

┗ Didn’t the article say that there was a demonstration on catching some kind of monster?

┗ Is that possible? There’s no way I could fight such a monster just because I got stronger...

┗ Still, I’m looking forward to it.

┗ No, wait a moment and let me listen to you.

┗ Black Smith: Rather than anything else, I have gained some unusual characteristics. I think it will be helpful to them.

* EV. I will continue the conversation with Black Smith.

┗ Oh, the administrator has appeared!

┗ It’s EV!

┗ .....

┗ .....

The bulletin board was shaken by the sudden appearance of the administrator.

However, EV did not appear on the bulletin board again, and the username Black Smith who spoke did not post any more posts on the bulletin board.

Instead, the homepage list changed. 6.

The (Working) mark has disappeared from the list of

equipment and item transactions number 6.

And in list number 6, two item names flashed.

Blacksmith’s Greatsword (rental)

Blacksmith’s Shield (rental)
