"What's going on here?"
Rain asked in a rather sharp voice. I opened my eyes and looked up and down at Alec.
'I think I'm definitely doing the name value.'
Standing still, I felt an orderly magical energy with an aura.
Of course, I didn't know if this was all or if I was hiding a greater power.
But there was one thing that was certain.
"It's above Fujimoto. '
Unlike Fujimoto in the World Ranker class, leaning on the power of the scam equipment called Snow of Snow over his own power.
At first glance, the sword on the waist didn't look very good either.
There was no doubt that he was ranked in the World Rankers class with pure 'skill'.
"You…."
Alec's gaze turned toward the rain.
Kim Shi Hoon explained.
"He's the one I serve like a close relative."
"Oh, is it knights' brotherhood?"
"Well, it may be a little different, but it's true that I admire and follow."
"Haha. I didn't know the Sword Dragon would have such seniority. Nice to meet you. My name is Alec."
"It's Aung Woo."
Alec grabbed my hand.
Alec's expression stiffened as he grasped the hand of the rain.
But for a moment too, he nods with a faint smile.
"Indeed, you are worthy of the sword dragon."
"You shouldn't be ashamed of your brother."
"Hahaha! That's a good word."
Alec looked around.
"You seem to be companions of the Sword Dragon. If you'll excuse me, could you introduce me?"
"Oh, yes. Of course…."
Kim Si-hoon nodded and tried to explain one by one.
Rain lifted his hand and stopped him.
"Let's start with the purpose of meeting Sihun in the distant Taj."
I didn't want to drag time for useless things. I didn't even intend to build rapport with him.
Rain sits in his seat and sends snowflakes to Alec.
Alec sits in a chair with a distressed smile.
"I wanted to get a little closer to my fellow swordsmen. Too bad. But this is something that might work. You have no choice but to be vigilant."
He spoke in a calm voice.
"A month ago, I had a battle with the Demon Church, which is moving on the European side."
It was seen on the site.
"They were strong. I was ashamed of the name World Ranker. I ran away knowing I couldn't win while I was fighting them."
"… It says that the Internet prevented demonic attacks."
"It is true that they stopped their evil plans themselves. But it just slowed down the plan, and it didn't fundamentally solve it."
He had a bitter smile on his mouth.
"Rather, it is now the devil's assassin who is after me."
"Hmm."
Rain swallowed up the immersion.
I understand the situation.
But it didn't make sense to come looking for the Sword Dragon.
"So, you didn't come here to protect her, did you?"
Speaking coldly, Kim Si-hun was still weak.
It was because of the heroic appearance he showed in the world-renowned Suu Kyi incident, not because of his own power.
Even if I played the next song, I still managed to beat Kim Si-hoon without difficulty.
"Haha, of course. There's still more to talk about."
The words of Alec Ozburn followed.
"I was chasing after them, and I was able to get help from a group called the Guardians."
"Guardians...?"
It was a name I had never heard of.
"This place isn't famous yet. However, I can assure you this. Guardians are the hope of humanity."
He said with hot eyes.
Rain snow thinned.
Guardians.
The name floated in my head.
Alec shifted his gaze toward Kim Shi-hoon.
"Mr. Sihun. Let me ask you one question."
"Ah, yes…."
"Have you ever heard of the existence of the Guardian?"
"…?!"
Kim Shi-hoon's pupil grew. The agitation spread.
Rain also distorted his expression.
Guardian.
Beings who have been chosen by the system, who have emerged to save the world.
"No way, Alec...?"
In response to his groaning question, Alec nods.
"Yes, I am, too, one of the Guardians."
"……."
Silence sits down.
Rain put his hands on his head to clean up the sudden situation.
'Wasn't there a guardian?'
I didn't think about possibilities.
To date, the Guyanese system has served as a sort of atmospheric force to prevent 'alien' interference.
It created a kind of vaccine that would protect the world against alien interference after it was destroyed by itself.
'If the Guardian really is like a vaccine.'
Even if I wasn't one, I understood enough.
Rather, it was more inconceivable to entrust the safety of the entire world to a single person named Kim Si-hoon.
"When did Alec become a guardian?"
"Well, it's been about a year. Right after becoming a World Ranker."
"……."
The rains caught my eye.
A year ago.
It was still before he returned to Earth.
'There was a guardian before I came.'
If so, some hypotheses had to be corrected.
'Are you expecting the system to crash from scratch, or was it just a precaution?'
I didn't know it yet.
Rain lifted the glass and held a cup of coffee. Sweet taste spread in the mouth.
"How did you know Sihun was the guardian?"
"Haha. That's not my ability. I have a colleague in the same Guardians who has the power to find a guardian. He found me, too."
"... I see."
Now his purpose is clear.
Guardians.
I wouldn't have said that without thinking about it.
"I would like to join our Guardians."
'Is this what it looks like?'
The rains opened their eyes thin. A lot of thoughts came to my mind.
"I went to the Guardians..."
"Yes, I saw the footage of the Suu Kyi incident. You are the one who has the talent to be a guardian."
Alec spoke in a hot voice.
"If you become a Guardian, I'll show you how to further strengthen your power as a Guardian. Then... you may not feel frustrated again."
"frustration at the time?"
"Yes."
Alec nods.
He said with a straight eye, as if he knew everything.
"In the video, I saw your face slashing over the monsters. Painful, sad expression. I can understand that. because they were innocent citizens."
"Ah…."
Elasticity flowed from Kim Shi-hoon's mouth. His face darkened.
I remembered that time.
Even though I knew who they were, I had to bite my lips and swing my sword.
Alec grabbed Kim Si-hoon's hand.
"If you get stronger, you can save them all."
"How could you save everyone...?"
"Overpower. We still don't know how to turn them around. But one day we'll find it. We'll be able to save everyone. Mr. Sihun, we need you."
Burning eyes of justice.
"I will save everyone," he said, seeping into Kim Si-hun's heart.
"I need a guardian to protect all those who are in despair."
"……."
Kim Shi Hoon shut up firmly. agitation was spreading in his eyes.
My heart rang hot.
Save everyone.
I was thinking nonsense.
But right before his eyes, Alec was trying to make justice's black nonsense come true.
The fist was grasped.
Alec's eyes, burning with justice, seeped into his chest.
'This....'
It was an opportunity.
An opportunity to stand in the same place as your admired Sword of Justice.
Opportunity to learn beliefs about justice, and to be empowered to defend weaknesses!
'I'm sorry about the Sword.'
He was being trained by Cheonmujin.
The talent of celestial bones also shined in the retreat of censorship.
The sponge was pushing the pores like it was absorbing water, and it was trying to take it one step further.
'But.'
Kim Si-hoon's gaze turned to Alec.
Bang. Heart beat.
An upright glance sent him away.
I could learn martial arts through the Cheonan Jin.
But I could not learn 'ideas' or 'beliefs'.
"I am."
There was no reason to hesitate.
I was wondering if it would be okay if I didn't get consent from Sunsoon Rain, but here I thought it would be right for me to choose.
"I'll be with you..."
Soon his words were cut off.
Kim Shi-hoon's pupil grew.
My body trembled.
His uncontrollable energy shook him.
What is it?
The accident did not lead.
The consciousness fades. Someone's voice is heard.
I didn't know whose voice it was. But one thing was clear.
I couldn't resist this voice.
"Sorry, I can't join the Guardians."
"Ah…."
Regrettable elasticity flowed from Alec's mouth.
"May I ask why?"
"… Sorry."
I couldn't answer. No, I didn't have anything to say exactly.
He could not figure out why he refused Alec's offer.
It just boiled down intensely to the idea of 'I have to say no'.
Alec sighs.
"Too bad. But I didn't think you'd accept the offer. Please feel free to contact us if you change your mind about staying in Korea for a while."
He gives out a business card with his contact information and stands up.
Kim Shi Hun stared at his distant back.
"……."
No.
Rain put a cup of coffee in his hand on the table. There was a system window in front of me that I could stop looking at.
[Subordinate power has been expressed.]
[Domination of ministry has been accomplished successfully.]
'Thank goodness.'
The moment has finally come for old insurance to play.
Rain looked at Alec's back as he looked away from the deep sunken eyes.
The moment I heard the two conversations, I realized the identity of the 'strange disturbance' I felt before.
'Sword of Justice.'
Correct, upright.
I don't know who built it, but I thought it was a pretty good nickname.
If you think about the nature of Kim Shi Hoon, it would be natural to send a gaze of hope in his name.
'I can't keep it that way.'
Such a strange disturbance was now Kim Si-hun's condition.
It was okay to send a desperate look at Alec. Respect was not bad either.
But it was difficult to be 'the same' as him.
'Alec is too right.'
By analogy, he was a pure white sword.
A white sword that only wants to save everyone, who is reluctant to shed blood on the sword.
I can't let Kim Shi-hoon's sword bite white like that.
'Sihun.'
Rain's gaze turned towards Kim Si-hun.
'Your black should get a little dirtier.'
Otherwise, I couldn't survive.
'Don't worry.'
I stood up in my place.
Tapping Kim Shi-hoon's shoulders, he followed Alec away.
The shape of a black sword that does not ask for a drop of blood is nothing but an iron chip.
'Cause I'm gonna make it dirty.'
