Chapter 2376 – 2376. Modern Magic Challenge

The next day.

I went to work at headquarters only after lunch. Because my status was status, no one urged me to go to work.

When I entered the temporary office, I was sitting at my desk sorting out documents. It must have been covered in blood last night, but now it looked fine without a single scar.

“Are you here? Turning Korea upside down and going to work leisurely in the afternoon… I envy that indifference and power.”

“If I screw you up, you’ll be the leader too. But what are these trash piled up on my desk?”

“It’s not trash, it’s a transfer application for members of another hemp unit.”

“You want to come to the 8th battalion? Why suddenly?”

“As expected, you don’t know. “Thanks to you, the atmosphere in the Order Bureau is now strange.”

“So why?”

“Because you killed the Sage of Lemegeton. Lemegeton is humanity’s worst harrier organization that overthrew European countries. Half of the members in the headquarters are afraid of Remegeton’s revenge, and half are in awe of the captain.”

“Is that why the number of transfer applications has increased?”

“It’s not just a matter within the Order Bureau. Seiji’s death became known through the media. Currently, citizens are anxious. Turning Lemegeton into an enemy… Because Korea could become dangerous. Some media outlets are blatantly criticizing you.”

“Even if I didn’t kill him, Remegeton was targeting Korea. The drug factory is proof of that.”

“That’s true, but… The fear that comes from the name Lemegeton is too great. Those with property are said to be preparing to immigrate to the United States or Japan. If you go online right now, most of the stories are about Lemegeton.”

“It doesn’t matter as long as it doesn’t bother me.”

“Even though the media is polarizing, nothing annoying will happen. The Order Bureau is a state agency. There will be pressure on the media. And you didn’t do anything wrong.”

“Of course.”

I killed a few gangsters who were fighting in the early morning and abandoned them in the Pacific Ocean… Since it was a perfect crime with no body found, there was no need to worry about being caught. Even if you are suspected of a crime, just ask if there is evidence.

I checked the documents.

‘The 8th Battalion is comprised of a few elites. If there are a lot of people, it’s noisy and management is a hassle.’

After checking the documents, I threw them all away. The crew members who submitted transfer applications were extras whose faces I had never seen, let alone their names. I would have accepted the transfer even if it was at least a supporting role.

“Are you not accepting any more crews? I think it would be better to get at least an office job.”

“I don’t accept this.”

“All right. Captain. The commander of the 3rd battalion formally requested a sparring match with you.”

“The commander of the 3rd battalion must have come to his senses after last time’s no-show.”

“Captain. This time you have to accept it. As the captain kills Seiji, all eyes are focused on him. Everyone in the battalion wants to check your skills. In other words, it is not just a sparring match, but a place to prove the 8th Battalion.”

“If you refuse, there will be rumors that the 8th Battalion are cowards. Good night. Let’s step on that kid from the 3rd Battalion.”

It may not have happened, but if we were defeated in Dalian, our right to independent operations could have been taken away. Not by the director, but by the protests of others.

“The 6th Battalion seems to be interested in the captain’s recovery potion.”

“The 6th Battalion’s recovery magic would be better than the recovery potion.”

“Due to its nature, the 6th Battalion has a few personnel, and due to its high importance, it is mostly located in the rear. It was said that if the members carried recovery potions, the burden on the 6th Battalion would be reduced and the overall combat performance of the members would increase.”

“Oh, I see. “It’s not a bad plan.”

Recovery potion.

I can get it without difficulty in real life. I have enough money, and Ha Seung-hee, the third-generation chaebol of the Sejin Group, which does business related to hunters, is my connection.

‘It may be difficult to get the highest level, which costs 1 billion won each, but it is easy to get the upper level. There is quite a bit of what I already have.’

Recovery potions were easy to obtain in the worlds of [Hwanhwan] And [God’s Atlantis]. I would say it is a relatively common item in the creative world.

‘I need to provide a potion to the Bureau of Order.’

Potions can be obtained with money. Although it may be a waste, if the level of the Order Bureau increases with just one potion, my job will become easier as a result.

“I will provide you with the potion. It’s not free. Be clear about that.”

“The effect is certain, so you can expect to receive several million won per unit.”

“Only a few million won?”

“… Since there is a 6th battalion, recovery potions will not go up to tens of millions of won.”

“What about the mana potion? It is a potion that restores magical power.”

“That would cost tens of millions of won.”

“Negotiate on your own.”

“Me? I’m not good at negotiating. “You will only be able to benefit more if the captain himself steps forward.”

“If I was going to benefit from it, I didn’t even think about offering it to the Order Bureau. If you sell it to rich people, you can get at least 100 million won. Isn’t that right?”

“All right. Then, I will do my best to maximize the interests of the 8th Battalion rather than money. The 6th Battalion will become an ally of our 8th Battalion.”

They say that when people come together, politics arises.

Even though it was a country of order, it was no exception.

The 6th Battalion is responsible for the recovery of injured members, so at least the number of members has a strong say.

‘If we maintain a good relationship with the 6th Battalion, we can avoid being politically isolated.’

Roughly speaking, it means that annoying things will be reduced.

“Captain. A mission order came from the headquarters battalion. The order is to check an abandoned building because it looks suspicious. There is a rumor that a harrier is hiding in this building.”

“…”

Although it has independent operational authority, it cannot blindly refuse missions sent from headquarters. After all, the 8th Battalion is also an anti-horse unit under the Order Bureau.

“If you don’t like it, I will refuse. You can use Lemegeton as an excuse. Otherwise, I will go alone. There is no need for you to move directly in this matter.”

“No, I’m going directly. “You should just be training.”

Speaking of abandoned buildings, it’s probably the one that appeared in the original work. It’s time to get a new operator.

• • •

The sparring ground of the 3rd anti-horse unit of the Bureau of Order.

There, the commanders of each battalion, including Park Hyeon-woong, director of the Order Bureau, gathered to keep an eye on the sparring area. Of course, they are not the only ones keeping an eye on the sparring grounds. Members of each battalion are also watching from outside the sparring area.

In the center of the sparring hall, a man and a woman are looking at each other.

Yu Min-ha, the 3rd Battalion leader, stopped growing at the age of 8 due to excessive magic.

Seong Yu-jin, the leader of the 8th Battalion, who recently became the center of attention after killing Seiji, an executive of Remegeton.

Now, this sparring was also a place where Seong Yu-jin proved his strength. Even though he killed Seiji, few people have personally confirmed its power. It was clear that if Seong Yu-jin could not prove his strength as the leader of the 8th Battalion, other members would be dissatisfied. Because Seong Yu-jin appeared like a parachute.

“Captain of the 1st Battalion. “She didn’t know you were coming too.”

Park Hyun-woong spoke to the man next to him. Hwang Seung-min, the captain of the 1st Battalion, a man in his 30s wearing a white suit, said with a grin.

“Everyone has arrived except for the 5th and 7th battalions, which have missions. This is an opportunity to see the skills of the famous 8th Battalion captain, so how can you skip it? I also somehow found time to come see it.”

In addition, the captains gathered. Park Hyun-woong was unable to talk to all of them. For that reason, the sparring has already begun.

The start was an assault by Yu Min-ha, commander of the 3rd Battalion. He increased his speed to double speed with time magic and approached in an instant.

However, Seong Yu-jin moved into the air and waved her hand towards Yu Min-ha. A large amount of fire breaks out on the training first floor and burns brightly.

Yu Min-ha slammed her fist into the floor, creating a shock wave and extinguishing the flames.

“Did you know how to do space movement magic? Seeing it in person was so amazing that I was at a loss for words. Just to what extent is your magical talent…”

Park Hyun-woong’s admiration was received by Lee Sook-ja, the commander of the 6th Battalion. She, who is in her 60s, draped her doctor’s gown over her shoulders and looked at Sung Yu-jin with interest.

“They say they make potions using magic. He is a versatile friend. In particular, mana potions are so rare that it’s hard to know what to do with them.”

“Let’s think about that later.”

A close combat between two wizards began in the center of the sparring hall. Surprisingly, Seong Yu-jin did not dodge and allowed close combat.

Park Hyun-woong judged Seong Yu-jin to be arrogant. Yu Min-ha, the commander of the 3rd Battalion, was the strongest in the Order Bureau in terms of close combat.

Yu Minha’s overwhelming amount of magical power raises her physical abilities several levels higher, and a time distortion field spreads 1 m around her, slowing down her enemies’ attacks and speeding up her own abilities.

But his prediction was wrong. Seong Yu-jin overwhelmed Yoo Min-ha in her close combat. She didn’t use magic. She was simply overwhelming with her martial arts skills.

“Haha. She is my sister after all! Furthermore, she also felt it when dealing with Seiji… The combat sense itself is ridiculous. “It’s as if she has experienced thousands of battles.”

Park Son, the commander of the 4th Battalion, who is treated as a special breed even within the Order Bureau, laughed and gave high praise.

Kwaang!

Seong Yu-jin’s fist got stuck in Yoo Min-ha’s torso. Yu Min-ha flew behind her, coughing up her blood. She falls to the floor and struggles to get up.

‘It’s not just a punch. Did it shake the inside with magical power? It seems like a technique called Balgyeong in Chinese martial arts.’

As the distance grew, Seong Yu-jin snapped her fingers and used magic.

Dozens of blades of wind cut into Yu Min-ha’s body. Because she was strengthened by her magic, it wasn’t cut to the point where her bones were visible… Small scratches gather together and blood drips.

“Aaaaa!”

Yoo Min-ha burst into spirit and expanded the time distortion field to cover the entire sparring hall. But it was already too late. Because the surrounding area was already full of water like a swimming pool.

She stretches out her hand, glaring at Seong Yu-jin, who is standing on her water.

“Stop. Let’s stop here. The winner is the captain of the 8th battalion.”

The 2nd Battalion commander raised his glasses with his middle finger and said, looking somewhat dissatisfied.

“Director. “If the 3rd Battalion commander had used Ars Magna, the result would have been different.”

“Using Ars Magna means killing each other. And since Ars Magna has already been banned from these two people in advance, it is only right to end it here.”

“… In that case, it would be right to end it here. I’ll just go now. In my personal opinion, the 8th Battalion Captain is dangerous because his hands are too cruel. If the Great Demon Corps collapses from within… At the center will be the commander of the 8th Battalion.”

The 2nd battalion commander left. Park Hyun-woong stroked his chin with a thoughtful expression.
