Academy Silver Gatekeeper

166 – Irina Wants to Catch a Mole! – One

Kang Min-seong’s grandson, Kang Do-kyung, and her granddaughter, Kang Ji-soo.

Since he suddenly asked me to spar with him, he suited me appropriately.

First of all, because it was grade A, the basic skills were clear.

I also thought that it wasn’t for nothing that I was hearing about a talented person who would lead the future of the Kang family.

So what did you do? Of course, I did it with sincerity in my field of expertise.

Let them identify their weaknesses by digging into a few areas where they are lacking.

It may be quite difficult, but if you succeed in improving it, it can be an opportunity for significant growth.

“Thank you, Examiner Baek Seo-jin. I think it was a good experience.”

“Thanks to you, I think I can see the way! Thank you for your hard work!”

When the two people said that, it seemed like some of the remaining debt disappeared.

If you think about it, I was the first to receive a favor from Kang Min-seong.

If it weren’t for the wind and the storm, he would have been in quite a bit of trouble.

I’m about to finish sparring and go home.

Suhyun, who welcomed me, told me very good news.

“While the examiner was sparring, I talked some more with my dad.”

As Su-hyeon spends time with me, she becomes a little more proactive and confident.

It is said that thanks to this, he gained courage and expressed some of his disappointment.

Although it is a little, not all, it is enough.

Because Suhyun’s surrounding situation is improving, it is also good for me.

If things continue this way, one day there will be a normal parent-child relationship…

“Mr. Seojin!”

It’s a surprise. Suddenly, she raises her head and Han Ji-yoon’s face comes into view.

He looks very tired with dark circles under his eyes

It’s worth it. Lately, I’ve seen people at the academy trying to kill themselves.

“Concentrate, focus! “The meeting starts soon.”

“Ah… Yes. “I’m sorry.”

Meeting is good. It’s good, but why do I have to do it at this time?

It’s 6:40 in the morning right now. No, it’s okay to call it dawn at this level.

I really don’t understand why we are having a meeting at this time out of so many times.

“It’s obvious. “Because everyone is busy, we do this in the morning.”

Irina lies down on the desk and grumbles as if she knows my innermost thoughts of her.

She let out a long yawn and then grumbled in a dissatisfied voice.

“No. Do we really have to do this face to face? What era was it? Why not just have a convenient video conference? Otherwise, you can just talk about it through a message, but what on earth is this?”

This time, she had no choice but to completely agree with Irina’s opinion of her.

At such an early hour, we gathered all of our incredibly valuable human resources.

Since everyone is tired from preparing to come out, how nice would it be to just have a convenient video conference?

What’s even better than that is to open a group chat room and post a ‘notice’!

“What can I do? After all, the topic of the meeting is about annihilating Elders from all over the world.”

Another S-class person sitting across from me shrugs his shoulders.

Of course, even as he said that, there was a faint trace of fatigue and irritation on his face.

All other S-ranks also showed signs of exhaustion.

I understand that every day is hard work, but now I have to go to work early in the morning.

Honestly, isn’t it okay to be an Elder at this level? What on earth is this?

“Everyone is here.”

The person who came in on time was none other than the president of the association.

Well, it makes no sense to collect all the S-ranks and send them to mid-level positions.

“The meeting will start right away. Manager Cha? Please.”

A middle-aged man called Manager Cha nods his head and clicks something.

Then the black screen suddenly brightened, and other faces appeared.

“Uh? What. “Aren’t they all S-rank?”

“That’s right! I’ve seen him in Japan. Next to it is Russia.”

“We weren’t doing it on our own, right, Chairman?”

Listening to the people around me, it seems like the people on the other side of the screen are S-ranks from each country.

USA, UK, Germany, Japan, China, Russia etc… It’s all in place, isn’t it?

I think this is why all the S-rank people who have a lot of work and are tired are gathered here.

“… Then, I will explain the Elder annihilation operation.”

It is clear that the one talking is a foreigner, but what is heard through the speakers is fluent Korean.

I once again felt the greatness of simultaneous interpretation and focused on the content of the meeting.

“Oh, I’m so sleepy…”

I was quietly pushing away Irina, who was trying to lean on me and hug me.

This is a brief summary of the meeting, which lasted for about an hour.

– Recently, a number of armed conflicts have been confirmed between Elders –

– Some elders are believed to have died in the civil war –

– Villain power is reduced due to frequent gate appearances and monster cataclysms –

– Currently, each country has stabilized to some extent and has some leeway –

– If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to deal critical damage to elders and villains in the future –

It is said that it is not only people with special abilities who are currently suffering all kinds of hardships.

The villains were also struggling with monsters whose level suddenly jumped.

On the contrary, they say that it will be more difficult for them because there is no national support.

It is said that in the meantime, a fight broke out between the elders, almost at the level of a civil war.

I don’t know why, but according to word, several elders have already died.

“Is that information a reliable source?”

Some people expressed doubts about that part.

If that is false information deliberately leaked by the Elders, then this is the one that will be in trouble.

However, the person who received the information confirmed that the source was trustworthy.

They were suspicious, so they checked, and there were a lot of matches.

He even added that this much was given to him by the Elder or his subordinate.

‘… ‘No way?’

When I heard that, Hyun Soo-jin came to mind, but I decided to keep my mouth shut.

If she moves like that, she has a reason.

Anyway, the claims that came out afterwards were similar.

If they miss this opportunity, they may feel a sense of crisis and unity even more.

Before that happens, we need to attack them all at once and exterminate them as much as possible.

It is said that this must be done in order to avoid wasting reserve power.

“If possible, we organize the available personnel and carry out a joint operation.”

“The United States’ support is needed to clean up the Elders in South America…”

“… We are in charge of the villains located on the border of Eastern Europe…”

And our Korean side once again moved with the Russian side.

The reason for this is very funny, but also understandable-

“President of the Association! I’m going to catch that bastard. Damn mole! He jumped out because he felt like he was ruined after stabbing me! “I will definitely destroy that bastard with my own hands!”

Irina, who had no intention of working for a long time, said that she would take action in Korea.

It seems like the last time I was attacked by a Russian elder, aka mole, was still in my mind.

In the end, the decision was made due to Irina’s strong request or her strong irritability.

Send her to Russia and get her mole with her support.

‘… But why? Fuck.’

Elder organizes support personnel to catch ‘mole’.

Not only Irina’s name was on there, but my name too.

Did I volunteer? Could that possibly be the case?

“Ugh. Still, I’m glad. “I would have been really bored if I went alone.”

He said from the side, hihi! Irina bursts out laughing.

This woman was the one who put me in the personnel group in the first place and was the culprit.

A bit of a sudden opinion that you might need a backup just in case.

Everyone was surprised that Irina, not anyone else, mentioned backup.

I had to figure it out there. I wonder what this woman is after.

She didn’t need a ‘backup’, she just needed a ‘justice’ to take me!

“… Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Seojin.”

Han Ji-yoon pats his shoulder a few times as if she feels very sorry.

Other S-ranks who left the conference room followed suit and had similar reactions.

They all seem to feel very sorry for me, who was in charge of taking care of Irina’s aftercare…

It was all a mistake. The reason I’m despairing now is not because of the cleaning up.

Now, we have to worry about ‘getting things done at night’ rather than getting things done afterwards.

“Please take care of me.”

All S-rank members leave, and finally, the president of the association comes to shake hands and says so.

When I saw that, I was in tears and wanted to say something, but I couldn’t.

The reason was that I felt something very earnest in the eyes of the president of the association looking at me.

-She said, I’m begging you, Irina, to control her so she doesn’t hit something else or cause a major accident. Irina, she seems like he listens to you. –

It’s probably not just my imagination that makes me feel like I’m saying that.

In any case, it was the president of the association who gave such earnest looks and even held on to the hand he had shaken with his other hand.

There is no reason to stop Irina, and since her skills are certain, I let her go.

It’s like a bomb that doesn’t know where it’s going to go, so it’s a situation where you have to have someone by your side who can control it.

In the end, I had no choice but to nod her head as she seemed to want to understand.

“I will return quietly and safely.”

Quagwagwagwang!―

“…”

Why is the president of the association so worried and why did he send me there?

I found out the reason less than an hour after arriving in Russia.

“Hey!! You’re the mole who stabbed me, damn it!! “If it doesn’t come out, I’ll throw it all away!”

A huge villain hideout that the Russian authorities couldn’t even think of subduing.

Irina literally trashes each place and spews out harsh words.

“Come out, mole. “If it comes out now, I’ll kill it nicely, and if it doesn’t come out, I’ll drink it again!”

Even the S-class members on the Russian side implicitly call the mole, a reluctant opponent, as if they were the dog next door.

At this point, my pride as an Elder is probably hurt.

Even if that’s not the case, we have to come out so as not to lose the public’s support to the villains.

In reality, there was still no news about the mole that Irina was looking for.

“It’s not coming out? This guy was scared. Then there is nothing we can do.”

Irina was smiling brightly and started destroying not only the ground but also the underground.

Even though they promised to do it appropriately, the level of action is that.

If I hadn’t accompanied you… Hmm, I think there was an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.8 in Russia.

Kugugu-

Kwakwakwak!—

“Come out – come out –!”

… Well, I think it’s clear that she’s really crazy.
