* * *
After the incident under the guise of relaxation, the summer vacation came to a close quickly.
It seems like it was only yesterday that I went on vacation to Alabama, but when I came to my senses, vacation was over.
“What on earth did we do during our vacation?”
“I took a breath.”
“Other than that?”
“I ate.”
“Is there anything else?”
“I pooped with my mouth— ouch!”
It had no meaning.
Of course, I was physically better than before, but I didn’t get stronger through normal means.
“Still, thanks to continued hard-core ‘exercise,’ didn’t my physical strength improve compared to a few weeks ago?”
“Is that exercise?”
“Anyway, you’ve become physically stronger, right? Then it’s exercise.”
Anyway, the rest was over.
The three men and women said hello and prepared to leave Ines’ mansion.
“Brother Xian! Sister Shannon! When I go back to the academy, I will definitely tell that unlucky sister- kieeeeek!!!”
“Why are there all these golden-haired guys out there?!”
There was no peace until the moment I left.
Kang Xian and Shannon turned their backs on the sight of a family home with a well-established hierarchy.
“Oh, guys, let’s go together!”
Anyway, the three left the village.
While saving the village, I passed by the newly acquired wealth, which was almost like a ‘donation’, and passed between buildings with new memories engraved on them.
“I’m making fun memories~”
“I don’t think it’s a memory, it feels like a nightmare…”
“Uh huh, if it’s your partner, say yes.”
Afterwards, the three men and women took a plane and returned to Puerto Rico.
After a little over a month, the city had been somewhat resolved.
Flesh, blood, bullets and magic marks were erased.
It felt like the city had finally returned to normal.
But that was only the exterior.
As we headed inside the city, there was a space to commemorate what had happened previously.
Those who died protecting the city.
Those who were blindly attacked while taking refuge towards the coast.
Or those who tried to run away and were slaughtered.
And even those who meet terrible deaths in villages outside the city.
Although several months had passed since the incident ended, many people were still visiting the memorial space.
Also, some people were just looking at that place in despair.
There were families who came from outside the island, there were families who lived inside the island, or there were lovers or acquaintances.
Surprisingly, there were quite a few lovers or acquaintances.
“Skyler… Under…”
“What on earth went wrong… ?” …”
“Boy, go somewhere nice…”
Most of them were cadets attending Palaistra Academy.
They were still reeling from the shock of something that should not have happened.
‘I wish I could at least blame someone here.’
Government, corporations, same cadets.
It was a reality that no one could blame.
Literally a natural disaster.
It was like a punishment from heaven.
This was the result of everyone minimizing the damage, and if it weren’t for everyone’s hard work, something even more serious would have happened.
Due to the lightning-fast advance of the enemy, everyone would have been rushed to the shore and drowned in the sea.
That made it even more miserable.
Because there was no one to blame.
It was funny that the closest enemy was Germany and its allies in Europe.
“You b*stards…”
Even if you try to take revenge, you can’t.
The reality they faced was force majeure.
No matter what you do, we can act however we want.
It felt like the other person was showing that kind of will.
What was more serious here was that this was the second time.
If there is a first time, there is also a second time.
But if it’s the second, wouldn’t there be a third and a fourth?
It was easy after the first time, but not to the point where it was extremely easy.
However, if you go through it the second time, from then on, anything is a disaster.
“… Damn, they won’t be coming again anytime soon, right?”
“Because hunters are being mobilized to Chareltea. Rather, they could take advantage of this opportunity to attack the academy again.”
“It’s not that it will happen, it’s that it’s almost certain. How much did our strategy go awry with just one attack?”
People were afraid about this.
I was so afraid of the reality that the madmen would return.
When the hunters and soldiers who had been protecting them were gone, they had to protect the island alone again.
Even if there were hunters, it was barely worth it, but if there weren’t any, you had to use the same strategy as before to attack them.
Previously, thanks to luck, I was able to win with a fatal move.
In other words, since we were hit hard once, we will be prepared next time.
“If they attack once more, will we be able to stop them?”
“I can’t stop it. Even if we prevent it, enormous damage will occur.”
“Through this battle, they must have gathered various information and strategic situations…”
“Many of the hunters who guarded the academy also escaped. “It’s really just us.”
I was so afraid.
The judgment that next time we would be defeated was a gloomy future shared by many cadets.
“Early next year? Mid next year? Or next year?”
“If you look at the trends so far, it will be from the middle of next year to the year after.”
“It means there will be chaos when we become third or fourth grade… ” …”
The first and second year students at Palaistra Academy were especially desperate.
It was because I sensed that I was destined to be caught up in a huge massacre.
‘Hmm… The atmosphere on the streets is still bad… But I don’t think there’s any need to stagnate like this.’
Of course, all of this was when they had full power.
Kang Xian, who received all kinds of information through Nartica, knew that their power was not normal.
‘There won’t be any major problems until next year. In fact, we won’t have the same power as last time until next year.’
A million soldiers were thrown into another world.
If they had at least retreated, their route of retreat was blocked and they were ‘annihilated.
It didn’t mean they were all dead, but it meant that they couldn’t be used as cards in the future.
According to common sense, it would be impossible to recover the million-unit workforce within a few years.
A population of about a million people will be reborn.
It could be said to be a severe blow that would take decades to recover from.
‘However, there is no need to announce that fact.’
One of the things I realized while working with Nartica.
Information was said to be property.
Either a positive outlook or a negative outlook.
Neither side had any intention of wasting money.
‘Moreover, thanks to everyone’s efforts, the Academy acquisition process is progressing quickly.’
It was all thanks to turning the knife on the transition committee.
It could be said to be the result of reporters, who may have received the money, diligently pointing out the transition committee as the culprit of this incident.
It was a situation that was neither their fault nor anyone else’s fault.
But anyway, since there was a victim, it was the order of the world for someone to take responsibility.
Since Nartica cannot take responsibility, shouldn’t those who are currently leading the academy be even more responsible?
The argument that the situation got this big because you guys didn’t make a quick decision was very persuasive.
In the first place, the defense of the academy was a success through the cooperation of the company and the cadets.
It was not the initiative of a transition committee comprised of government officials.
If you asked the academy cadets, many of them would probably respond with, ‘So what did those b*stards do?’
And some others would say, ‘They were so foolish that this sad month occurred.’
No one thought about it being a transitional entity before the acquisition.
I just thought that I had the authority, but I just wasn’t wielding it.
‘I wonder if the federal government will also trust the transition committee.’
Therefore, for Nartica, the longer this situation continued, the better.
e
In any case, he will be able to gain a lot of support just by replacing the incompetent transition committee.
Then, you may wonder what the company will do with the support of citizens.
If there was support, there was only one thing to do.
‘Preparations will be completed around October. So that we can take the elixir from them.’
Extreme behavior.
Although it hasn’t been finalized yet, we planned to gather a certain number of cadets and use them to attack Hero Academy.
‘It’s an inevitable choice since there aren’t enough hunters to hire anyway.’
Therefore, Kang Xian did not want to remove this gloomy atmosphere.
Rather, he wanted to continue this atmosphere and encourage her hatred towards Charelle Thea.
Lots of grief in newspapers.
Self-proclaimed ‘independent reports’ related to this invasion appearing on TV.
– “I heard their goal this time was to enslave the Arecibo people?”
– “Did you hear that? They were actually planning to attack the U.S. Mainland after occupying Puerto Rico!”
– “From what I heard, there were suspicions that he was trying to conduct biological experiments.”
People who received money from someone openly spread and spread strange hatred toward Charellethea.
Fake truths rose and fell from people’s mouths, the already strong hatred boiled over, and fear continued to accumulate.
If this trend continued, by October, most of the cadets would be periodically reflecting on memories that could not be washed away.
In that case, all you had to do was select capable people from among those who were obsessed with fear and anger and send them to the front line.
People who are blinded by revenge will do anything.
That was exactly what Kang Xian wanted now.
‘It would be even better if we secure the elixir and end their future.’
The main goal is to wake up a thousand birds.
And the secondary goal is to suffocate the heroes and the main Hero Academy.
That alone increases the likelihood of total victory in the future exponentially.
Because of this, he continued to push the cadets.
After September passed and until October.
The atmosphere of the academy remained the same without any improvement.
“It was on the news, these b*stards are preparing to invade again!”
“World tree b*stard.”
“Do these b*stards even get goosebumps if they can’t kill people?”
In fact, it was more serious.
Looking at things like this, it was clearly evident that the moment of revenge and the moment to bring back a thousand birds was approaching.
It’s soon.
In order to meet that moment, Kang Xian accelerated his preparations a little more.
Thanks to that, the lights at the Puerto Rico branch did not go out even in the evening.
Like a lighthouse guiding countless ships, it shined exceptionally among the skyscrapers.
“Marie. Just wait a little longer. Because it will end soon.”
The lighthouse keeper did not doubt his choice
I will finish everything before I completely give up my duties as my friend’s representative.
