Chapter 306-310

Tap, tap.
Cale started to frown after feeling someone slapping his cheeks.

Tap, tap.
This hand that was rudely slapping his cheek made him upset.

'I remember fainting, but who is slapping my cheeks?'

"Haaaa."

Cale slowly opened his eyes after letting out a deep sigh.
He then became anxious.

"...What the hell?"
"Kim Rok Soo! You bastard, hurry up and snap out of it!"
"Huh- Jung Soo, why are you here-?"

Cale flinched and touched his neck.

'This voice is-
Kim Rok Soo's voice.'

The person in front of him was Choi Jung Soo, someone who started work at the same time as he did. And he looked younger than Cale last remembered. This clueless face was definitely when this punk was in his twenties.
Cale felt his hot forehead and rubbed his cheeks. His forehead was bleeding.

He lowered his head only to find that his black work outfit that was made from advanced materials was ripped in multiple places and that he was bleeding.

"Ah."

Cale remembered this moment.
Choi Jung Soo lifted him up at that moment.

"Hey! Let's go! Why would someone who uses their head like you come to the battlefield instead of staying in the back? You stupid bastard! Did you think that you coming here would help us?"
"Move."
"What? You bastard, I told you, this is not the time to be out of it!"

'I know.
I know it's not the time to do that right now.'

Cale lifted his body up and turned around.
He could then see it.
He could see the few buildings that they had barely managed to rebuild being destroyed while monsters were coming out of a black hole in the sky.
He could see the burning Korean sky.

"Damn it."

'It's that moment.'

It was something that happened when he entered this, 'company.' It was something that happened during his first year.

Grade 1 monsters suddenly appeared in section C-1 of Korea.
The abilities user's guild responsible for the area and the hunter bastards had all run away, leaving the company employees to come to hold out until someone showed up from the government.

"...Team leader."

Kim Rok Soo, Cale, could see his team leader and sunbaes from his first year at the job. They were all focusing on defense in order to stop the monsters.

He had been weak back then.
His ability had activated properly later, but he was just a green newbie at this time.
That was why he could do nothing before having to run.

"Hehe-"

Cale naturally realized it.

'I'm dreaming.
But it had to be this damned dream.
Why did I have to have this dream after fainting during my fight with the Empire and Honte?'

"Hey! Hurry up! You stupid bastard who hasn't even fully activated his ability! If you weren't my one and only fellow first-year! Sigh!"

Cale remembered what he had said in the past when Choi Jung Soo had supported and dragged him out of here.
Kim Rok Soo in his twenties had said the following.

'I'm going to kill all of those damned bastards and be a slacker for the rest of my life with my pension.

'I'm definitely going to do it.
I'm going to kill all the monsters.
I'm also going to kill the ability guild members who got all the advantages we gave them to protect the citizens and defend against the monsters but ran away when we actually needed them to do something.
I'm going to kill them all.
