Episode 18

One

Before the reconnaissance mission, the cadets gathered in the audiovisual room. for general education.

An executive I had never seen before grabbed the microphone and went up to the podium.

“My name is Lee Do-hyeong, operations officer. Originally, there was a separate person educating from the Staff Department, but due to unavoidable circumstances, I became educating instead. Someone else will come out next time. So, keep that in mind. I’m the most handsome guy in this unit.”

The lecture began with a talk by an officer who came up as a lecturer.

“Before we begin, let me say one thing. Oh, I hate to do it.”

-ha ha ha!

He knows very well that he is the only one who is tired of having to create a strict atmosphere for the cadets who will return in a week.

Siu also smiled.

“Reconnaissance missions, in fact, everyone knows what they are doing. If there are any signs of an instant dungeon being opened, the investigation team is called.”

Everyone knows the general content of reconnaissance missions after taking basic military education at the academy. The instructor also continued the lecture smoothly, keeping an eye on the cadets.

It’s not as simple as the instructor said, but they are the main thing and the most important thing is right.

“To be honest, if you create a continuous magic force field within the unit, the magic twisting won’t happen. It means that there is no chance of encountering a monster near the borderline due to oversaturation of magical power.”

Some cadets breathe a sigh of relief.

The impact of the Minotaur still lingered on the cadets. However, looking at his determined expression, it doesn’t seem like he’s frustrated or has lost his will to fight.

Well, it’s because we all went crazy together and attacked. Thinking about that time sends goose bumps down my spine again. If I hadn’t been careful, I would have killed them all.

With the exception of a few early retired cadets, most of them were in an atmosphere of burning will.

“What you guys will get from scouting missions is a formation. front, middle, rear. Full understanding of each role. Is it okay to not know the lieutenant and the rear lieutenant? Absolutely not. Let’s talk about an operation that was carried out in the past.”

His emphasis on the importance of the formation with his experience in the field was enough to attract the cadets. As it turns out, being an academy graduate also played a big part.

Siwoo enjoyed listening to it, thinking that his skill at breaking down a nobleman was not normal.

“Activate the hologram device distributed to individuals.”

When the foundation-like hologram was turned on, a monster and 20 1/10-sized people were projected in the air.

“It’s the ‘fallen tree spirit’ that the unit killed about a month ago. It is a monster characterized by a huge mouth like an angler and five rows of teeth. From the side closest to the monster, 7 are in the front, 6 are in the middle, and the rest are in the rear.”

“oh… … .”

Siu corrected his posture and sat down.

The Spirit of the Fallen Tree was the monster he favored when he chose the tamer character. It looks like a poisonous toad that came up from hell, but it’s a cute guy with a bulging chin.

Look at that rotten tree trunk that rises over your head. Isn’t it the charm point that it looks like horns or hair that stretches out?

No?

Well, don’t.

“This monster has a limited range of activities, so it is rarely known to the public. You can check its habits and details by clicking on the hologram. The same goes for holographic human dolls. It shows what the ability is and what the grade is.”

It was as he said. As if peeking at other players’ stats, detailed stats appeared.

“From now on, the cadets will deploy people against the spirits of the fallen trees to achieve the most ideal results.”

In a word, become a commander and catch the monster through a deployment fight.

“If you press the simulation button, the hologram will demonstrate the battle in the designated formation, and depending on the battle aspect, you can stop the simulation and change the formation and people’s location.”

After that, the cadets began manipulating the hologram.

Siwoo first checked each person’s stats and skills. Most of them had balanced abilities, with no special people or angular people.

beep-!

beep-!

beep-!

An ear-piercing warning sound filled the space. This is the case when someone presses the simulation and everyone dies.

“Oh, sorry. The hologram will stop working after 5 beeps, so be careful. Of course, there is no penalty for doing so. It means not to deploy blindly, so I hope you make a careful decision.”

The instructor covered his mouth with his fist and spoke loudly. However, Siu caught the corner of his mouth rising subtly. So, so, I was aiming… .

Siwoo shook his head and recalled the time when he was fostering a tamer character in the past.

What is the most important thing when playing Tamer?

Of course, the first is collecting monsters, nurturing them, and building loyalty.

Then what next?

It’s a placement fight.

The formation of humans and monsters can never be the same, but isn’t this a hologram? The format of placing and winning according to stats and skills is no different from the game.

He once ran a raid with 50 monsters. There was also a bit of skill in the placement fight.

beep-!

beep-!

beep-!

After the instructor’s attention, the warning sound decreased a little, but it did not stop. He moved among the cadets and subtly teased them.

“Ha ha ha, is it difficult? It is really difficult to form the original formation and deal with it flexibly. This is why you need to understand the different positions. Mobility is the real essence of a formation, being able to provide immediate support when needed.”

Either that or not, Siwoo focused on his work.

First of all, I moved the illegal warriors who were blown away from the back to the front. I left behind a good skill called Explosion. anywhere, without any fuss.

Although, if you use Explosion, your magic power will run out or be retired, but that one shot is the first step to attack.

“Peel off the skin barrier first… … .”

The shield surrounding the fallen tree spirit automatically regenerates when its HP is over a certain percentage.

It was important to remove the shield in the beginning because you can’t build HP first with normal attacks and skills.

The flame attack is an attribute that is incompatible with that guy, and the explosion is an extreme dealing skill.

If the outlaws retire, the sustained damage will drop a little, but you can’t miss the core of the attack.

Beep-!

Ayeek-!

When I pressed the simulation, it really worked. The shield bar that filled up half of the health bar was erased in one hit.

Because of the angry monster’s acid spitting, all the illegal acts were retired, but as intended.

It was then. The instructor found Siu and approached him.

The ponytail and beard were also noticeable everywhere. He smiled silently when he saw Siwoo’s simulation results and patted him on the shoulder.

Siwoo didn’t even care because he was concentrating.

Rather, the healer tried to save the illegal that was barely breathing, so he urgently stopped the action. You can’t waste your energy needlessly.

What to throw away should be thrown away.

After that, the simulation was stopped and the layout was adjusted.

“Are you going to continue this?”

The instructor, who was about to leave in search of another tease, stopped. The fire magic user is the key to attacking, because it is the most efficient and can cause great damage with the opposite attribute.

Well, if the attack is done without the fire mage… … . As an operations officer, he looked foolish. Anyway, there are 5 chances, so I tried to recommend it again.

However, Siwoo consistently ignored it and adjusted the arrangement at his own pace. Only then did the instructor discover that the monster’s shields were all cracked and started watching his simulation.

“Tanker like this… .”

Placing tanks in the north, south, east and west limits their hasty movements. And 3 dealers with maneuver skills drew aggro at the end of the guy’s range, consuming their skills and draining their strength.

Every time the aggro was excessively attracted, buffers and other dealers were put in and taken out little by little, completely restricting his behavior and gnawing away at his mana and stamina.

This was the format of the game’s raid, the Pug, rather than the line of front, middle, and rear.

Well, as long as the raid could be completed successfully, that was it, Siura didn’t care too much.

The use of skills in the right place at the right time and the deployment of personnel stood out. Currently, the number of people participating in the battle is 4 tankers, 3 dealers, 3 dealers, 3 healers, and 2 buffers, all of which are being used without waste.

The combat aspect did not change.

In the middle, the monster ran out of control, but after having them charge the tankers who were besieging them from all sides, they used the Divine skill to bind the monster and let them receive all attacks.

Strengthened attacks poured down on the tanks, but the healers’ heals were also concentrated on them, wasting time.

All of his limbs were bound. All that remains is an all-out attack.

I managed to kill him before the rampage ended.

♬~ ♪~ ♩~

A high-pitched staccato rang out between the beeps.

In the middle, Siwoo looked back at the operation officer with a conceited expression on his forehead and one corner of his mouth.

“Kuhm, kuhm.”

He stroked his hair with a shy expression and ran away in front of the podium.

Next day.

Armed with weapons, the cadets lined up in front of the flag pole in front of the barracks. This is a place prepared to encourage cadets to commit to their first operation.

From today, a reconnaissance mission from the border where the troops are located to the land of monsters begins for 5 days.

Today and tomorrow, as a taste, only the boundary is briefly traveled back and forth, but from the third day onward, it goes to unexplored territory.

Even if it’s an unexplored area, it’s not too far from the frontier, so it’s a safe zone where support is available at any time.

As they were standing in line with Oh, a middle-aged man with a beret folded into his front chest pocket appeared.

A muscular body felt through his military uniform, a scar across his eyes, and a cigarette in his mouth despite meeting the cadet for the first time, he came up to the podium.

It was only after I removed the arm of the adjutant handing over the microphone that I stopped smoking.

Whoa-

The gray smoke dissipates far away with the wind.

he opened his mouth

“The battalion commander.”

The voice seemed to be plugged directly into the brain.

The cadets, who were originally full of discipline, were completely hardened like stone statues. The level difference was reduced with a short word.

At the same time, show respect and pride.

They are respected because they survived on the frontlines and dedicated their lives to serving the people, and pride that such a great man protects them on the frontlines.

The corners of the man’s mouth went up, as if he could feel it, then returned to his original position.

He lit a cigarette and climbed onto the podium, and all he did was blow gray smoke. That alone formed a kind of consensus between the cadet and that man.

Siwoo was an incomprehensible consensus.

“Don’t fall behind, that is the most important thing.”

The man left only those words and went down the podium again. Cigarette smoke bit the shadow’s tail.

“Cee hair. It’s f*cking cool.”

“This is the battalion commander… ? Alas, in my heart he is already the captain.”

The cadets were in an uproar, and the squad leaders and sub-commanders came forward to quiet them down.

“My ears hurt.”

“Guys, let’s be quiet.”

Of course, Siwoo just cleared his ears and said that, and Woojin stepped in and quieted the kids.

What are you, cadets? Even though I saw him with an expression, after hearing his circumstances, he shut his mouth with a solemn expression.
