Becoming an Academy Cowboy - Becoming an Academy Cowboy chapter 123
Gangnam(1)
The principal gathered all the first-year students into the auditorium.
No one knew what was going on among the buzzing cadets.
“What happened? The principal hasn’t convened the first graders since taking office. Seeing the principal stand in person, it will never be an easy task.”
Namgoongyeon was constantly chatting next to me.
“Let’s hope it’s easy.”
And then the principal showed up.
His face was hardened, reminiscent of a plaster statue in an art dealer.
“Attention everyone. Something unusual has happened.”
Shocking words poured out of his mouth.
“A gate has been created in Gangnam. The Gate Outbreak rating is catastrophic.”
Outbreak ratings were as follows:
The smallest is a small gate attachment at the level that I handled at the Han River.
The level of D-class Awakeners is able to respond in the first place, and if the response is certain, it is a gate at a level that can cause almost no civilian damage.
Most of them are known for their rear strikes, or as a precursor to the opening of a large gate, befitting their name.
When this incident occurred, the reason why a lot of media was talking about it was because of concerns that a large-scale gate might be reopened.
If the next level fails to respond in the first place, it is a level of overheating that can destroy a constituency, and that B~C level hunters can cope with.
When I get to the fever stage of the low-level Awakening, the level of difficulty rises to the point that it is difficult for low-level Awakeners.
And the stage just before all-out war was the current disaster stage.
When was the last time the gates of the disaster phase were opened in the play?
If I remember correctly, it was around the second semester of my sophomore year.
That’s about a year early now.
The only people who know about this are me and the former student council president in the detention center.
And from the gate that is opened after the all-out war with the other world, enemies that are strong enough to make it impossible for Awakened Class C or lower to jump into the battlefield are pouring out.
It is a basic tactical doctrine for those who have awakened to that extent to manage so that the gate of the insertion level does not grow larger from the rear.
“According to the intelligence that just came in, it is said that a simultaneous gate break occurred suddenly during the initial response to the overheated gate. This is a situation never seen before. The government raised the alert level to three Jindo dogs and ordered the mobilization of third and fourth graders.”
It is a sensible choice in its own right.
Compared to other private hunters, the 3rd and 4th graders have a superior combat level and are well versed in the doctrine of tactics.
Professional Guardians will also prepare to further strengthen local defense.
Perhaps he is trying to prepare in advance, thinking that the whole world has become a sea of fire by failing to respond in the first place during the last great war.
That’s a smart move.
The war at that time will be etched in the hearts of people around the world like trauma.
“And, as an exceptional case, a 1st and 2nd year team from a class will be selected at the request of the government. First-year cadets are not originally eligible for recruitment. It’s because not only has little experience, but it’s easy to lose your life if you go out for nothing. However, the government insisted on the seriousness of the incident and the importance of gaining experience and urged you to participate. Knowing the weight of the national mission, I will select the target now. The person called must come forward.”
And what came out of that mouth was a little unexpected, and it was a very natural name for those who knew everything up to this point.
“Class C Lahobin, forward.”
Of course, there are words all around.
“The Last Cowboy?”
“At least, D-class personnel were selected first?”
There was a lot of buzz and noise around, but one person dismisses the situation.
“What are you doing?! be long The lieutenant pays.”
It was Yoon Yi-gon.
After all, this is my deputy leader.
I saluted him by grabbing the brim of his hat.
“Let’s go. Class monitor. As for the team, I will be rolling hard.”
“why. Won’t you come with me? Yoonsaeng too?”
“I’m still not level enough to fit in there. I will work harder and come, so go and work hard.”
As I go to the front of the podium, the principal hands me something,
“With the divine authority given by the state, as the principal of Fallen Hope, Na Min Do-jun instructs Rahobin, a first-year student, to lead the first-year special disaster monitoring team. Please let the on-site commander deliver detailed command transfers.”
I accepted it.
And attached an angled salute by hand.
“It may not go inside the dungeon, but it is a dangerous enough mission. Do your best.”
“I will do my duty and come.”
After that, several names were called.
It’s a name that almost everyone knows.
Ahn Anderson, Shin Yoo-jung, Lena, and three of the class A alone, and Lim Ye-yun in Class B, the strongest first-year students gathered.
In the first year, the best prospects were selected, almost all of them serving the positions of team leader and vice-team leader.
In Class C, Sona and Namgoongyeon were selected.
In a way, this is normal.
Because we can’t send the first-year students who will be put on the battlefield first to gossip.
It must have been carefully selected by selecting only the best talents in each part.
Lim Ye-yoon’s stock price has risen quite a bit recently.
Is it because of the explosive performance he showed in the match against me and his activity in the snowy mountains?
As a supporter and tanker, there is an evaluation that it can be used in all weather.
But my concern is one.
It’s just that there are so many elites.
In most classes, the question is whether the people who used to be the leaders will be able to follow my lead.
Even if I have a C-class ID that I can use in the field, I’m still a D-class protector.
Especially An Anderson, that child is a face that wants to grab the headmaster’s arm right away.
The only reason he endures is that he has not experienced this unprecedented situation.
“Everyone on the team, pack up your gear as soon as possible and assemble within an hour. Instructor Paulus is leading the 3rd and 4th graders to the field as the school representative. The briefing takes place inside a moving hummingbird.”
The army had already been packed in advance, and the support department, who was contacted by the school, was preparing weapons and supplies.
Betty was also in the middle of it, preparing something in a hurry.
Sol was also waiting for me in a neatly dressed outfit.
“After we met, I looked at the sloppy cadet uniforms and then looked at the office look and it was pretty cool. brush,”
“It’s the boss’s first official sortie, so do you wear it roughly? And this… is a real debut stage for me too. I work hard to support you. president.”
“I believe.”
I passed her and turned towards Betty.
She handed me the bullet with a blank face.
“It was a bit overkill, so I prepared four days’ worth of bullets. I can’t guarantee that’s enough. From what I know in advance, there are undead monsters coming out in Gangnam. So, I prepared mainly silver bullets and bullets that were exorcised. And this is battle food. You don’t know how long the battle will last, so hold on with this for now. The school is planning to set up an additional supply team.”
Also Betty.

Just make sure you’re ready.
it’s practical
I’m already starting to tremble quite a bit.

Gangnam, far from Hummingbird, could be defined in one word.
“It’s bullsh*t.”
If I had once told a foreigner that this was the place where all the desires of all Koreans were gathered, I would have told them not to talk bullsh*t.
Here and there, civilians calling for rescue, military and police forming lines and engaging.
To be honest, it wasn’t a war phase.
till now.
It was just that the puncture site was very painful.
As I said, this is Gangnam.
In addition to the concentration of many wealth in Korea, it is also a place with the highest floating population.
The more you have to protect, the more you lose.
Instructor Keira, who took the lead in the shaking hummingbird, started the briefing with a stiff face.
“Currently, there are many civilians in Gangnam who have not yet been evacuated. The team’s goal is to evacuate civilians from the hazardous area and close the gate at the attachment phase to prevent further gates from opening. In the process, avoid engaging large enemies as much as possible. You are not ready yet.”
She detailed the zoning and explained the resources and manpower we had.
“You will be assigned an army company. You just have to guard and lead the territory with them. Are you familiar with the role of the Awakened in the war against the other world? It is your job to fix and annihilate enemies that far exceed the combat power of ordinary people. Leave one or two small monsters to ordinary soldiers and preserve your stamina and magic as much as possible.”
That’s what I learned in the Guardian intro.
Knowing and practicing are different, but at least I hope that the elites here don’t just shovel.
When these people shovel, it means that other cadets are also shoveling.
Hummingbird soon landed at the base camp near Gangnam.
“Damn it. what’s this?”
As soon as Nam Goong-yeon came out, he spit out cursing.
The camp was utter chaos.
Children crying here and there, screaming wounded soldiers, and people shouting at the wandering hunters who don’t know what to do.
Wasn’t it clear that Korea said that it would overcome the great war and conduct its own training?
No matter how much Gangnam gets stabbed, isn’t this too much?
The battle with the other world has no borders and no fronts.
Because the gate may open in the middle of Gangnam Station like today.
It was a big deal that he didn’t even know how to solve the problem with the fortune teller.
“No, so the cavalry can never go into Gangnam right now? All the tanks there now are useless. I’d rather have mechanized infantry enter.”
“What are you talking about? If we put mechanized infantry right now and stop the offensive, our power will be exhausted quickly. You can’t put it in until you’re sure.”
The field commanders were also arguing with camouflage cream on their faces.
I don’t know why he wears camouflage cream when he’s dealing with extraterrestrial creatures that aren’t even humans, which he does in the city anyway, but I don’t know why he applied it like war paint in his own way.
The infantrymen waited anxiously for the moment they did not know when they would be deployed.
“Damn amateurs.”
Instructor Keira passed by with a tongue-in-cheek.
“Obviously, high-ranking officials must start with the president and sit around talking about where to protect and where to defend. It’s a long-standing tradition that the ink of war gives instructions to the soldiers. let’s go. Staying here won’t help anything. There are a lot of people who need our help right now.”
Sorina asked, tilting her head.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going to see Instructor Paulus.”
Instructor Paulus seemed to be in a similar situation.
He already had a perfect plan.
It was a device to minimize the consumption of troops, but it was contrary to the opinion of most people.
“Even if you are a hero of the Great War, it is unacceptable to organize a fire network with artillery in the middle of the city.”
“Many soldiers will die because of this. Hitting the enemies around the gate in advance and sending in guardians is the most realistic strategy.”
The face of the man in the suit and the troubled Instructor Paulus had a dark look on his face.
“Did you say it was realistic? Some buildings will be harpooned if you fire a cannon at them. That is the heart of the Korean economy. It’s like hitting a dagger in the heart.”
“If you leave it like that, it will spread throughout Gangnam, not just a few buildings.”
“Doesn’t it cost you hundreds of billions of dollars every year to stop it? No artillery.”
Squeezing his throbbing head, Instructor Paulus tossed the paper roughly.
“Damn suitors.”
It’s the first time I’ve seen such vulgar words come out of his mouth, close to an old man.
“Instructor Keira. You just arrived.”
“Are you repeating the same thing as during the Great War?”
“That’s right. It’s about fighting idiots who don’t know anything. How many buildings are important now that World War II is about to take place? It looks like we’re going to lose our power.”
He clicked his tongue and looked around.
“Now we have a dedicated gate team made up of S-class guardians and hunters, but it seems it will take a while to deploy. I am weak now, but I need your help.”
He painted something with mana on the map.
“There are still people somewhere in Gangnam. Saving lives is a Guardian virtue. Team up and rescue the remaining civilians. Please note that one company will be assigned to you.”
With a gloomy face, he pointed to the group with a pointing stick.
“Take note.”
The soldiers’ faces looked gloomy.
The people who seemed to be the commanders were constantly encouraging, but no matter how you looked at them, their morale seemed low, and they looked too weak to think that they had come for battle.
In a way, it might be normal.
They are just people who have been conscripted for two years.
Do you have any combat experience?
At the most, they were people who worked hard on shooting and loading ammunition in battalion tactics training.
I didn’t expect to be assigned the right warriors, but isn’t that too much of a waste of money?
No, maybe that’s normal.
I asked with a dissatisfied expression.
“So, take your not-so-military friends and protect civilians.”
“okay. Do your best.”
I’ll have to start with the discipline first.
