Steel eating player chapter 9
Itaewon 2-dong, gate blockade operation-1

============================

Lee Hyun-wook found the target right away, but still looked around for about 5 minutes and pretended to worry.

It was because it seemed strange that I made a choice as soon as I entered it.

“Oh Lieutenant, B again 554, please with that sword.”

Lee Hyun-wook wrote the serial number of the cradle.

“okay.”

Oh Jung-tae manipulated the management device, and the mechanical device moved to take out the item. Then Jung-tae Oh and checked the information…

“······Well, Hyunwook, doesn’t it seem like this is a bit?”

He asked, tilting his head.

“Maybe you’re F-class, so you can’t seem to pick a good item, right? This is yours before you own it, so even if you discharge it. Did you know that and chose it?”

He asked because he thought that the item was of low value, but now that the potential was not revealed, the item information that the player could check would be shabby.

“Yes, I knew and chose it. It’s okay, so give it to me.”

“Really? I ask again. I don’t know if I regret it.”

“Yes, I’ll decide with that.”

Captain Oh Jung-tae nodded with a bitter expression.

“Then well, I see. I can’t help it. Oh, sorry.”

No one knows yet what value this item has.

“Okay, take it.”

When Lee Hyun-wook accepted the item, brief information came to mind.

[Item information]

-Name: Cloud Sword

-Effect: Absorbs water and emits’water mist’.

‘It is quite light.’

At first glance, it looked like a bronze sword, but it was longer than that. The blade was about 70cm long, perfect for swinging with one hand.

And there was a distinctive wave pattern on the day, and at first glance it felt like the Damascus Steel.

‘The weight center is just right, and it’s a weapon that Choi Young-joon will love.’

Later, after Choi Young-jun’s main weapon was damaged, he hurriedly pulled out anything from the battalion arsenal, and at that time, this “cloud sword” was caught in his hand.

And by chance, the weapon’s potential is unlocked.

‘Choi Young-jun’s second sword, I’m sorry, but I should have it first.’

The real name of this item, which was revealed after its potential was released, was’Unsaamsu (雲師暗手).’

Three gods of weather who came down to the ground with Hwanung from the Dangun myth: Pungbaek, Usa, and Unsa

Among them, Unsa, the new man in charge of clouds,

And the male and female of his dark hand

‘Unsaamsu, to translate, means being like any sword hidden in a cloud.’

What would be a sword hidden in a cloud?

That’s the brain gong (雷公),

I meant lightning.

In other words, when the potential is unlocked, you can use the power of lightning.

‘The combination of steel and lightning was the best.’

Most metals are conductors, and electricity flows very well.

In other words, if you hit the metal that Hyun-wook Lee controls and make it flow, it becomes a more powerful weapon than you thought.

‘More than anything else, you can get out of the limit of physical attacks using metal.’

Like this, the steel contained lightning.

The battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Kim Gang-seok, put the drip coffee made by hand in front of the ranks of Cheon Myeong-ho.

“Thank you. Hey, it smells good.”

“You also have a sense. This is a premium coffee bean from Guatemala.”

Lieutenant Chun Myung-ho was a significant figure in AMT, and whenever he visited other units, he was invited by the commander to have a refreshment time.

“I think it’s probably the first time I see Jun-wi Chun since the’Gwangmyeong Ogre Battle’.”

“Yes, it will. That was already two years ago.”

“It’s already been that way. It was when I just became B-class.”

As the two were early members of AMT, they had been together on many battlefields.

“How, are the Black Tiger troops not very good these days?”

“Well, this way, I’m always struggling with a lack of manpower.”

Soon after, the official question came and went, such as asking about the current status of the formalities.

“Hmm, the reason you visited our unit was also because of Sergeant Choi Young-jun, right?”

Choi Young-jun, as expected, that was the name.

“Oh, that’s right. That friend, rumors are popular.”

“Yes, that’s great. By the way, by the way, I’m on vacation…. If you had contacted me in advance, I wouldn’t have wasted precious time…”

“Thank you for your consideration. However, it is highly likely that the person will be confused if it suddenly comes to you and proposes it, and you will be confused for a moment and sign the NCO application. It’s a kind of psychology. Haha, all the kids these days are trying to fall into guilds, so they are devising their own strategies for persuasion.”

Cheon Myeong-ho laughed darkly.

“Tsu, these days, even if you’re just C-class, you’re going to be taken by the guild, so it’s bound to be. But Choi Young-jun, that friend, will think positively. Because he is a friend who knows the honor of a soldier.”

Starting with those words, Kang-Seok Kim started telling stories about Young-Jun Choi.

Although it was in tone of the tone of Jo Gon Jo Gon, the content was close to boasting and publicity, and in fact, it was a recommendation for the talent he had led and raised.

However, Cheon Myeong-ho’s interest seemed to be somewhere else.

“Battle Commander, in fact, I haven’t watched that friend’s battle, so I can’t evaluate it yet.”

That meant, I didn’t want to hear much about Choi Young-jun’s story anymore.

“Oh, I forgot for a moment that Junwi Chun always sees and judges himself.”

“It’s a terrible and chronic disease that I have. Well, by the way…”

Cheon Myeong-ho’s eyes shone as to what he was trying to say.

“I accidentally found a very special talent in this unit yesterday, right?”

This was the main point of Myeong-ho Cheon.

“Oh, is it? What kind of soldier are you?”

“Do you ever know that Corporal Hyun-wook Lee?”

“Ah, if it’s that friend……”

Kim Gang-seok’s eyes also brightened. As the power went into the eyes of that size, there was a feeling of coercion, like a beast.

“……It’s an F-class, but he’s a rare real soldier.”

“……It’s F-class, but he’s a natural warrior.”

The two answered at the same time.

Born warriors and real soldiers, similar and different evaluations.

“Hahaha! Indeed, I am proud that I resemble Chun Jun-wi’s eyes at least a little.”

“It wasn’t an illusion that I saw that you think so, too.”

“Well, but what did you like to see him for?”

In response to Kang-Seok Kim’s question, Myeong-ho Cheon talked about what he had witnessed, the duel training of Lee Hyun-wook and Lee Won-seok. Then, a deeper look began to appear in Kim Gang-seok’s eyes.

“······Chun Jun-wi, then, would you like to enlist that friend into the Black Tiger army?”

“It’s not that much yet, but I was anti-forced and handed me my business card.”

“Hmm, no matter how much, I think it would be unreasonable for the F-class to perform the heavy duty of the special warfare raid. If it’s a regular AMT sergeant’s mission, I don’t know.”

At that, Myeong-ho Chun’s hand, who was raising the coffee cup, stopped in the air.

“If you are a general sergeant, you seem to be paying attention to that friend as well?”

Kim Kang-seok laughed faintly.

“of course. It’s not because I’m a player, but because I’m like a good friend as a soldier. However, I plan to watch a little more. It’s just feeling right now, but to be sure, I’ll have to entrust a plausible task.”

“Then, can I also observe when carrying out such a task?”

“Hahaha! It sounds like you’re going to compete with me for the Won and F grades?”

“I’m ready to bet big early on.”

For F-class players, the recruitment competition began without knowing.

“······after!”

Park Joon-mo was hanging from an iron bar, and his arm was trembling like an aspen. He inhaled and pulled the iron bar.

“Everyone, all stand-up!”

And fell.

“Hey! What are you only four dogs?”

“Ugh! Ugh! Uh, huh? Aren’t they five?”

“Ah, you just couldn’t go up half. Honestly, these are four.”

Mintae Ahn, who laughed like that, had just come down after doing six.

“Eh…… I think my arm will break because I set three.”

As Park Joon-mo whine, Ahn Min-tae kicked his tongue.

“Tuk-t-k, it’s okay to have an arm. Yesterday, if it wasn’t for Corporal Hyun-wook Lee, you said you almost broke out of breath?”

“Black! That’s right. Thank you again, Sangbyeong Lee Hyun-wook.”

Lee Hyun-wook, who came down after filling 5 sets of 20 each, nodded.

Meanwhile, his body had grown considerably over the next few days. Now, even if I wear clothes, my muscular body is clearly revealed, but it was the result of exercising while drinking a recovery potion by squeezing the missing reward points.

“Wow, you’re doing five sets of twenty full stuff…….”

“Isn’t that better than most athletes?”

The squad members couldn’t help but admired. Maybe it was my first admiration for him.

“But guys, don’t overdo it from day one.”

Lee Hyun-wook said, staring at the squad members whining from the iron bars. But they shook their heads while exhaling harsh breaths.

“I’m still fine.”

“I can still do three more sets.”

“Then I’ll just do one more set!”

Everything seemed to be determined somewhere.

Yesterday, I don’t know what influence Lee Hyun-wook’s appearance and words had, but seeing the guys who weren’t exercising and pulling the iron rods, apparently, it seemed that he gave a positive impression.

However, whether those features do not look good to the eyes of other squad members,

“Hey, look, what are the support squad kids doing?”

Watching the members of the 5th squad gathered in front of the iron bar, we laughed and passed by.

“······Hey, shh! Corporal Hyun-wook Lee sees it here.”

When Lee Hyun-wook looked at him, he avoided his gaze.

The image of yesterday, the appearance of overpowering the barbarian so easily was a form that was properly engraved.

“Ugh! Don’t make eye contact. I might run and kick a leg.”

“Or get on the back and hang a chalk….”

However, Lee Hyun-wook didn’t care what other people think. The really important thing is because it wasn’t that kind of gaze.

‘It’s time to burst.’

He checked the watch.

He has been through one time in the past, and soon the order to enter the operation is dropped.

“Ahn Min-tae. Let’s take the kids in.”

“Yes? Why are you entering already? Isn’t it too long for dinner to meet?”

Mintae Ahn asked with a confused expression.

‘I won’t be able to eat that dinner.’

Soon, the gate will open in the Wisu area and monsters will be pouring out, but there was no time to eat.

“I just saw the Operation Manager, who had just left the office, going up to the main office. Seeing that the main weapon, the “Long Bow,” was worn around, it seems that it will be put into operation soon. This week, our company is a’starter’.”

Advancement team means the company that arrives at the site of the operation first after the 5th squadron when the gate opens in the Wisu area.

“Yes?”

“Is that really?”

And all of them knew from experience that, no matter how much they thought, it would be possible to return to the troops, armed with the main weapon…

“Ah, I hope not, please….”

By the way······.

‘This lie was plausible.’

It was a red lie that Lee Hyun-wook saw the chief of operations, and that he was also armed with the main weapon.

I didn’t even know whether the operation manager had left work, but in the first place, it wasn’t enough to leave the office this early.

‘Because it is comfortable to go in first and prepare.’

Of course, it is much easier to prepare your mind and go up in advance than to jump up and pack your outfits after listening to the operation broadcast.

As such, when the other squad was spending a normal day without knowing anything, in squad 5, all 9 members were able to be located right in the dormitory.

But······.

“Hmm······.”

They believed in Lee Hyun-wook’s words, slowly prepared their outfits, and looked up at the speaker with a thoughtful heart…

“Well······.”

Nothing happened for over five minutes.

“Sergeant Hyun-wook Lee, isn’t it too calm for the operation manager to come in armed?”

Ahn Min-tae glanced at Lee Hyun-wook and asked, while everyone voiced suspiciously.

But what kind of confidence Lee Hyun-wook felt was already wrapped up in his clothes.

“Ahn Min-tae. Then the gate will warn and open? You all get ready quickly.”

“That’s all but….”

-Hook!

At that moment, the broadcast turned on and someone’s breath was heard.

“uh!”

– Ah! Ah! The Chief of Operations Spreads!

“This is the real operation manager!”

“Please be quiet.”

Is Lee Hyun-wook’s words true?

Mintae Ahn swallowed dry saliva and waited for the next content of the broadcast.

-······All of the 1st Company! Emergency dispatch due to the occurrence of a gate in the Wisu area! Spread once again! All of the 1st company! A gate has occurred in the stomach area, so we are dispatched in an emergency!

“······Damn it!”

“Quickly pack your outfits!”

It was all true.

At the same time, someone started shouting whale whales in the corridor, and the sound of the 1st Company troops scattered throughout the barracks running through the corridor to the dormitory was heard.

“Ah, Mr!”

“Run fast!”

AMT’s emergency calls were common, but there was always one thing that was urgent.

“Move fast! The later you are, the more civilians die!”

The shouting of the 1st Platoon Commander rang in the corridor.

“Squad 2! Why are you so slow? Where are you going and returning now?”

“Sin, sorry! After going to PX…”

It is literally an emergency call. Depending on where the target person was dispatched, it would appear as a significant difference in response speed.

In other words, Squad 5, which had already assembled in the dormitory and was preparing for dispatch, was able to respond more smoothly and thoroughly.

“Sergeant Hyun-wook Lee, everyone is ready!”

“Okay, move to the meeting point.”

The other squad, on the other hand, was still in a hurried outfit.

“uh? What are they doing already? Isn’t it in squad 5? How is it so fast?”

“Wow…… didn’t you know that much in advance?”

It was a ridiculous pace to them.

And behind the back of the 5th squad going down the stairs, I heard the shouting of the 1st Platoon Commander.

“Hey! What are you doing! Do you have time to chat? Squad 5 is already getting ready and going down!”

The evaluation system of this military organization was usually relative evaluation.

If there is someone who is good at it, the rest are only worse than that.

“Squad 1, Squad 2, boys! Are you one of our company’s first squads? Huh?”

It was the moment when the 5th squad led by Lee Hyun-wook, the support squad, which had been neglected as the weakest person, took the lead for the first time.

And Lee Hyun-wook could be assured that the stride would be getting bigger and bigger.
