I Entered an Academy in a Ruined Game

Chapter 201 : Contention (5)

"Who are these guys now?"

Jo Sujin, who had disarmed the Triad organization members who quickly surrendered after realizing something was wrong, scratched her head.

"They look like Chinese guys."

"Hey, stop pretending you don't understand Korean and speak properly."

Smack!

The branch leader, who was hit on the back of his head, answered with a servile smile.

"Ha, haha. What brings the Execution Force gentlemen to such a place...?"

"Listen to him calling us gentlemen."

Jo Sujin gave a hollow laugh.

"You came charging in so proudly but surrendered as soon as you saw us? At least the others put up a fight whether they lived or died."

"Haha, how could we dare when we saw Senior Squad Leader Jo herself..."

The Triad organization members had immediately and unconditionally surrendered as soon as they recognized her identity, as she happened to have her mask off.

"They sure have good survival instincts."

Jo Sujin shook her head.

"Weren't you coming to attack these guys? These guys knew who I was but still acted up, while you immediately bowed your heads? Looking at how you acted, if we hadn't been here, you probably would've been crushed?"

"Ha, haha. If Senior Squad Leader Jo says so, then it must be so."

"These snake-like bastards, you dare target us?"

Dmitri, with a large bruise on his eye, growled.

"Hmph, we're just here to collect blood payment for our brothers who suffered at your hands!"

"Are you talking about those idiots who attacked first and died when countered? Not even knowing to be ashamed...!"

"Yes, yes, sort out your uninteresting backstories among yourselves."

Smack! Smack!

After subduing them by hitting them each on the back of the head, Jo Sujin said to Kim Taesung.

"Taesung, go find some information about that Sergei guy."

"Yes."

"And check his phone too."

"Understood."

"Why are you looking for my phone?"

At Dmitri's question, Jo Sujin answered with a face that said 'why are you asking the obvious?'

"To ask where your subordinates are."

"Damn it."

Dmitri's face crumpled.

In less than an hour, the 1st Unit obtained information about Sergei Song, and succeeded in securing the location of the tracking team using deception through Dmitri's phone and informing the 7th Unit.

"Hehehe. We did a good job here."

"Well done, ma'am."

"You all worked hard too."

Jo Sujin smiled with satisfaction.

"Su-hyeon, you really used your head well."

"I think I was just lucky."

"Kid, don't lose that modesty."

Jo Sujin patted Su-hyeon's shoulder and turned to Dmitri to ask.

"So, do you have any idea who took him?"

"Why should I tell you?"

"Wouldn't it be better to make the guys who caused this mess pay too, since you're already screwed?"

"......"

Su-hyeon thought as he watched Dmitri, who was momentarily at a loss for words, unable to find a logic to counter.

'Her skill at gently irritating people is truly an art.'

❀⋆｡°✿☆❀✿°｡⋆❀

The PMC staff who were hiding in a safe house while protecting Sergei Song were thoroughly on guard against possible external attacks and waiting for the next instructions.

"By the way, brother, what's the principle behind that glove that blocks abilities?"

In the meantime, Sergei answered the question from the awakened one he had become friendly with.

"Oh, that? It's nothing special."

"Did you use some special material?"

"Just coated the inside with gold. Since it's already gold, it can't be turned into gold."

"Aha! So that's it? Simple."

"That's what I said."

Sergei Song shrugged.

"By the way, do you know how long we have to wait like this?"

"For now, there are a lot of guys outside desperately trying to find you. Well, there's plenty to kill time with in here, so you don't need to worry too much."

"Please take care of it. Really, just thinking about Dmitri's eyes makes my knees weak."

Sergei took off his glove and turned a cigarette butt to gold, handing it to the PMC staff as he spoke.

"Hehehe. Don't worry. No matter what happens, I'll make sure you..."

That's when it happened.

Boom!

The two men's gazes quickly turned toward the distant explosion.

"What's that?"

"It's an ambush!"

"Everyone back to your positions!"

Hearing the shouts from afar, the staff member quickly moved Sergei away.

"Damn, how did they find us?"

"Didn't you say they would never find us?!"

"These bastards are more persistent than we thought!"

The staff member spat on the floor and said.

"Don't worry! This place is a complete fortress! You think we'd lose to mere mafia bastards?"

"Damn, can I trust that?"

"How many years have we spent hunting demonic beasts! Just stay hidden quietly and it'll be over soon!"

"Found it."

Somewhere dozens of kilometers away, a man with his eyes covered by a blindfold said in a low voice.

"Bring me a map."

"Yes, sir!"

"They were hiding in a closer place than I thought."

'Spear Devil' Lim Se-jin.

With his superhuman spiritual sense, they could track the opponent's location without much effort.

'A game where you just need to find where a big fight is happening. Where a big mana collision is felt.'

"Here it is!"

Lim Se-jin, who pointed to a spot on the map without even opening his eyes, said.

"The collision happened around this area."

"We'll depart immediately."

As 'Grotesque Bird' Sung Hak-min transformed, he changed into the form of a giant bird that could carry more than ten people.

"Let's go!"

The hideous and gigantic bird soared into the sky.

"Is it over."

It didn't take long for the PMC and Baumanskaya Brotherhood to be annihilated by the Ma-in.

"Huk, huok."

"One's still alive."

Crunch!

Lim Se-jin, who crushed the surviving PMC staff member's head like a watermelon with a kick, laughed leisurely.

"They boasted about being PMC and whatnot, but their tactical capabilities are laughable."

"Yes. They were more of a disorganized rabble than we thought."

"That's natural if you think about it. Their roots are as hunters. They can't be as adept at human combat as the Execution Force."

Even so.

"To be able to clean them up so easily with a simple tactical deception followed by encirclement and annihilation, it's quite disappointing."

'I couldn't even figure out how to enter properly. As expected, this person is a monster.'

'Grotesque Bird' Sung Hak-min thought.

The safe house where the engagement took place was a fortress constructed with the optimal structure to prevent external attacks.

A structure extremely disadvantageous to intruders.

Therefore, in normal cases, one would choose to wait quietly until they formed a plan, but Lim Se-jin's choice was different.

They first infiltrated a few Ma-in to the back of the safe house, making them create loud noises to make the PMC side panic.

'If enemies had infiltrated all the way to the rear, it means the enemy's capabilities are more excellent than expected, and also that their forces have become an unknown. They couldn't help but panic.'

The Ma-in fought appropriately and then retreated.

The Red Mafia used that opportunity to break through the loosened front and succeeded in entering the interior of the safe house.

'And then securely locked the front and back doors of the safe house.'

Inside the safe house, which had become complete chaos with attackers and defenders all mixed together, screams and shouts echoed tragically.

'If things had gone normally, the PMC side could probably have defended without major damage.'

In that case, the Red Mafia, realizing their teeth weren't working, would likely have chosen to retreat.

But with just a bit of trickery, the PMC's formation was greatly disrupted, and the Red Mafia, unable to retreat, charged in as a result.

After that, it was smooth.

After nearly 20 minutes of engagement, the fighting inside stopped.

The Ma-in moved at exactly that moment.

They dealt with the remaining Red Mafia whose leader had died during the fight, and the PMC staff, whose numbers had been halved, also lost their lives before Lim Se-jin's spear.

"This is Sergei!"

Sergei Song, who had been hiding in a corner trembling, was dragged out.

"So, you're Sergei."

Lim Se-jin smiled.

"W-who are you people...?"

The organization was coming to catch him, a fight seemed to be breaking out, and then.

Suddenly, Ma-in barged in and overwhelmed both sides with overwhelming force.

Looking at Sergei, who was half out of his mind, Lim Se-jin kicked him in the solar plexus with an expressionless face.

"Keok!"

"I ask the questions. Understand?"

"...Ugh."

Sensing the killing intent and smell of blood deeply permeating that voice, Sergei immediately broke his will to resist.

'These aren't people who can be reasoned with. One wrong move and they'll kill me.'

"Good."

Lim Se-jin nodded, seeing Sergei bowing his head.

"Blindfold him and bind him. We're taking him."

"Yes."

Lim Se-jin, who was watching Sergei submitting without resistance, raised his hand.

"Wait."

"What is it, sir?"

"There are uninvited guests."

His spiritual sense detected the presence of other enemies.

"Two in number. Quite strong."

"I'll take care of them immediately."

"Keep one alive."

Lim Se-jin smiled.

"It's obvious where a wounded beast will return to."

❀⋆｡°✿☆❀✿°｡⋆❀

"Damn it, they're after us!"

"They're too strong! We need to retreat!"

Two Execution Force members who were ambushed while trying to enter the safe house.

One of them was killed, and the other one, who barely returned with a penetrating wound to the abdomen, was attacked by Ma-in who had followed on their heels as soon as he finished reporting about the unknown enemy.

"Damn it!"

Three members of the 7th Unit, including the Deputy Squad Leader, were pushed back by the unexpected ambush and urgently contacted the upper command.

"Report! Currently under attack by Ma-in! The enemy leader is..."

The despair was evident on the face of the squad member who confirmed the face and fighting style of the Ma-in wielding nightmare-like force against the members.

"Spear Devil! It's Spear Devil Lim Se-jin! I repeat! The enemy leader is Spear Devil Lim Se-jin!"

[Retreat immediately! Try to preserve your lives as much as possible!]

"...I'll try. Over."

"Damn it!"

The Squad Leader of the 7th Unit Group C clenched his fist until it bled as he received the report.

"1st Unit! Where is the 1st Unit!"

"1st Unit Group A is currently heading north after raiding and subduing the Baumanskaya Brotherhood's headquarters!"

"Tell them to hurry! Report to the upper command immediately! 'Spear Devil' has intervened!"

"Yes!"

"If there are any reserve forces, tell them to divert them here! If they don't want to lose all their manpower!"

"Understood!"

"For now, we monitor the enemy's movements."

The Squad Leader's eyes began to come alive again as he found what he needed to do and made decisions even in a half-mentally broken state.

'It seems today is a day where I need to risk my life.'

❀⋆｡°✿☆❀✿°｡⋆❀

"Aaack!"

"So noisy."

Lim Se-jin, who had stabbed the Deputy Squad Leader's abdomen with his spear and fixed him to the ground, nodded.

"So, Jo Sujin is coming?"

"Yes. They say she was waiting as a reserve force."

A Ma-in with psychometry ability, able to read some short-term memories, reported.

"Haha, Jo Sujin! A welcome name!"

Lim Se-jin was pleased.

"Do you know her?"

"I faced her when she was still a youngster. She was quite nimble but still an unripened rookie."

If I could have had five more exchanges, I could have cut her neck, Lim Se-jin chuckled.

"I wonder how she's grown now."

"If Group A comes, I'll handle Kim Taesung."

'Grotesque Bird' Sung Hak-min showed his fighting spirit.

"Haha, do as you wish."

Lim Se-jin said.

"By the way, boss."

"What?"

"There's a rumor that a cadet who entered that unit as an intern is a person of interest."

"A cadet? After all, isn't that just an immature and inexperienced rookie?"

"They say he's no ordinary guy. From what I hear..."

After roughly hearing about Su-hyeon's exploits through his subordinate's mouth, Lim Se-jin's expression became interested.

"That is interesting."

"Moreover, that guy is Lee Ho-seung's disciple."

"Lee Ho-seung? The Lee Ho-seung I know?"

"Yes, boss."

"Haha. Then that's a different story."

Lee Ho-seung.

When Lim Se-jin was still a young and promising human, he had a connection with this man as they both walked the paths of spear and sword, crossing weapons a few times in sparring.

"I'd like to see that bastard's distorted face after losing his disciple."
