158. Taonian Keepers (3)

The structure of the waiting room has changed a lot more than I thought.

From the 3rd floor to the 4th floor, it wasn’t just the increase in the number of floors. There was a school that encompassed the entire training facility, and all facilities from the warehouse to the equipment workshop went through a step-by-step upgrade.

The foundation for systematic operation has been completed.

There was also a change in the luxury accommodation on the 4th floor.

That is, one mansion was allocated to each party.

The mansion had private rooms, as well as a large dining room, rest room, bathroom, and a dedicated training room. There was no need to go anywhere else.

‘If only one more thing had been added.’

I got an office.

A wooden desk and chair, drawers for stacking papers.

There is a pile of papers on the desk. On the paper, all matters of the waiting room investigated by the reserve manager were recorded.

“What, what. You guys!”

In front of the desk, a man is making a stern expression.

The man was on his knees, and Belquist was standing behind him with a sad expression.

“Is that him?”

“exactly.”

Belquist replied.

“Mark Callerin, right?”

“You, you bastard, seem to be a bit strong, but even mice and birds… 100,000!”

puck!

Belquist, who slapped Mark on the cheek, continued.

“Answer the question.”

“Like a dog… to think that he would be safe even if he did this… kuck!”

Belquist began beating the man mercilessly.

ruthless hands. Blood and broken teeth splattered on the office floor.

‘Hmm.’

I watched the man with my hands on the table.

The hero named Mark in front of me belongs to the 1st floor. Two months ago in the waiting room, I was summoned here as a 2-star hero. But what happened after that was a bit different.

He didn’t become stronger by repeating training like other heroes, but chose to stay on the first floor.

“Mmm, stop…”

Mark, whose face turned bluish, murmured.

Belquist smirked and kicked the guy in the face.

“Oops!”

“It’s not far behind.”

“Are you going to kill me?”

“Isn’t that fine too? It’s trash anyway.”

‘It’s true that it’s trash.’

This guy took advantage of the opportunity that the master couldn’t reach, and organized a special group on the first floor.

what was your name I don’t remember very well. But what is clear is… … .

“You stole and hid the items in the waiting room. Is that right?”

I opened my mouth.

“no…….”

“Don’t say no. I know everything. I’ve only pretended not to know. It’s good if you steal things. From assault to threats to extortion. Crimes are all crimes.”

I checked the testimony.

The statement of a female hero belonging to the 1st floor was written.

Mark silently lowered his head,

“Damn it, it’s my day…”

I started crying sobbing.

“What am I supposed to do! To be dragged into a place like this, to fight and search for it! If you don’t like that, you don’t want to bring me from the beginning. I know you want to! I wonder what you’ll think if you eat three meals a day of potatoes…”

puck!

Belquist slapped Mark in the face.

The fallen man could not get up.

“Trash speaks. How are you going to deal with it? Is it also synthetic?”

“I know there are a few more.”

“I’ve got them all. It won’t be much different from this guy.”

“Good job. Good job entrusting it.”

“You’re good at it. Don’t make me do it again. I’m going to die of trouble.”

Belquist spat.

What I ordered this guy to do was to wipe out the gang on the first floor.

More like a thug than a gang. When the Master is not connected, he secretly works, extorting items from other heroes, and commits various crimes.

‘I left it alone because I was busy on the other side.’

Things are different now.

Until now, if it was a form of summoning a hero and leaving it in the waiting room, now education and management begin from the point of summoning. The purpose is to foster effective and motivate people. compulsory education is provided.

‘A law will be made.’

Well, it’s not complicated.

If you kill, you die.

Even if you steal the Master’s, you will die.

If you do something that damages the waiting room, you die.

Now, Taonier has changed from a simple gathering of heroes to a group with rules and discipline.

At the apex of that was the submaster.

“Senior, are you going to continue doing such a troublesome task?”

Belquist said while wiping his bloody hands.

“I can’t seem to concentrate on training.”

“That’s right. I’m busy.”

Busy beyond imagination.

Skill training isn’t over yet.

At this pace, he would be caught in the office and unable to move.

“No damage?”

“It would be nice if I had someone to entrust to me, but…”

The submaster is the strongest and most favored hero in the waiting room, but basically, a substitute is put in charge of the work. Because time was too tight to combine training and work.

“Me too. I couldn’t even put my hands on the sword today.”

“If I find someone to do it, I’ll take it out right away. It won’t take long.”

First, we set an example.

From now on, you can’t do that. We are definitely an attacking team.

We had to find management positions to run the waiting room.

That role is now occupied by Nerissa.

“I’ll leave it to you anyway. I’d like it to be sorted out within three days.”

Belquist left the office dragging Mark.

Left alone, I sighed deeply and opened the papers.

‘The daily yield of iron ore… … .’

He took out a piece of white paper and wrote down the words with a blue ink pen.

I was in the process of making a report to the Master.

and that evening,

[Welcome to Pick Me Up!]

[Loading has finished.]

[TOUCH ! (selection)]

The sky beyond the window brightened.

Amkena connected.

‘… … The Book of Reversal.’

indeed.

Master is the sky.

I sat down in a chair and crossed my legs.

‘If I catch and eat that guy, I’ll be able to become a Taoni language master.’

The climbing speed will increase several times.

More details… … Will it come out if I look back?

‘dog sound.’

I laughed bitterly.

[Master, there is an unconfirmed report.]

[Reporter – Submaster: ‘Han(★★★)’]

[Do you want to confirm?]

[Yes / No]

A document appeared on the master’s control panel.

The document shows what I wrote with an ink pen.

There are a total of 23 reporting documents.

Quite long. From the basics of the waiting room to guiding changes to the training system, hunting down criminals, and suggesting how to operate in the future.

[Tips/Heroes with special roles can ‘report’ and ‘suggest’ to the master. In order to expand the role, a higher level of ‘Hero Responsiveness’ research is required.]

[Submaster, ‘Han (★★★)’ proposes the public execution of ‘Mark (★★)’.]

[Submaster, ‘Han (★★★)’ proposes the creation of a new hero class, ‘management’.]

[Submaster, ‘Han(★★★)’… … .]

Amkena started randomly touching ‘Yes’ from the middle.

I don’t know if he believes me or if he’s getting tired of reading.

but.

“I got ten of them.”

I arranged the statues Amkena gave me in the display case.

Two slots were filled with warhorse statues.

976 to 1,000.

I think I need to make fifty five-story display cases.

‘… … Was I such a cheap guy?’

Well, it doesn’t matter.

stop if it’s fun

I blew a whistle and left the office.

Amkena was carrying out various tasks according to my report.

It must be quite a headache. Following my suggestion, the menu became many times more complex as the scope of operation expanded. Before that, I only had to pay attention to a few simple things.

Can not help it.

If you do it normally, you will be just like everyone else.

To go higher, you have to suffer more.

‘still… … .’

There is a possibility.

In this state, there are not one or two masters who throw everything away, saying that it is complicated and annoying.

But I’m not giving up and I’m persevering. It was like that from the time I blew the first 4 stars I picked. Mental and perseverance were worth acknowledging.

‘If it weren’t for that, I would have given up immediately.’

or i died

It was a gamble, but it worked.

It was also fortunate that I was summoned by this guy. He seems clumsy, but he’s doing his job. Had Amkena been hated by the heroes, she wouldn’t have made it this far.

I decided to do the work of the other side while the master took care of the business.

I prepared lightly and left the mansion.

On the other side of the square, another mansion is situated. It was an exclusive accommodation for 2 parties.

When I opened the door and entered, Edith came out in casual clothes.

“I’m here?”

“Where are the newcomers?”

“I’m waiting in the drawing room. They said they wanted to see you too.”

“Good.”

I followed Edith into the drawing room on the second floor.

Two people were sitting at a table in a neatly decorated inner room.

He was a new member of the 2nd party to fill the positions of the retired Roderick and the deceased Lilini.

‘Let’s see, the name… … .’

I looked at the two summon logs that I had posted beforehand.

It was the history of Amkena’s paid lottery when I wasn’t there.

[Tack, dururu!]

[Too bang!]

[Rare!]

[Master ‘Amkena’ has learned the hero ‘Rain (★★★)’!]

[Too bang!]

[Rare!]

[Master ‘Amkena’ has learned the hero ‘Main (★★★)’!]

2 draws.

But luck worked here too.

[Teeling!]

[I feel a strong connection between the two summoned people.]

[The bond ‘Double Harmony of Wind and Cold’ has been created!]

You can tell just by looking at the ‘relationship name’.

I looked inside the table.

“Your brother is Han!”

The two voices overlapped as if they were aligned.

A high tone like a bird chirping.

“I’m Lane.”

“I’m Maine!”

I got up and two people bowed to me.

Both of them were girls in their 20s or so.

Her slightly wavy hair reached her waist.

“Don’t be polite. You can just sit down.”

Two people sat on the sofa.

After sitting on the sofa opposite, I opened my mouth without hesitation.

“you guys.”

“yes.”

“Wizard.”

“sure!”

The answer came right away.

‘Twins.’

Except for the hair color, they looked almost identical.

said Edith, who was sitting next to me and pouring tea.

“Rain is a wind-based elementalist, and Main is a cold-type elementalist.”

“That’s right, sister. We were pretty famous in the North.”

The blue-haired girl, Main, grinned.

“The pilot battle went through. Both are excellent. It will be of great help in future fights.”

“I guess so.”

because it’s a wizard

Each elemental system has its own advantages.

Fire magic has the strongest single firepower, but there is a risk of damaging allies, high magic power consumption, and poor durability in combat.

‘Wind and cold come at once… … .’

It is also related.

It’s very rare.

It is not an attribute that forms a contradiction like fire and cold.

‘It’s caught properly.’

So far, Amkenna has played several paid draws, but this is the first time I have been lucky enough to win.

The rest of the newly selected high-level heroes will be holding a ceremony on the 3rd floor.

“By the way, Han.”

While I was thinking about the combination of the two, Edith whispered to me.

“Is it okay to put two wizards in the 2nd party?

“It is.”

“You did that last time. It’s better to properly distribute power.”

I nodded.

I did say that. Equal distribution of power. Even now, that thought has not changed.

It was just an ordinary story.

‘Taoneer’s mission composition is not ordinary.’

I got to know it after going through several boss stages.

First of all, the difficulty level is damn right. In addition, the basic specifications required of the main strategy team were enormous.

Dozens of things are basic. In this situation… … .

‘I can’t help but share power.’

I have no choice but to use a different method.

It was my suggestion to put two people in a party of two. Amkena accepted it.

“We’re going to change the way we attack. It can’t be like this.”

“how?”

“Makes a throwaway card.”

Edith blinked.

After drinking the water, I opened my mouth.

“From now on, except for Part 1 and Part 2, all of them are disposable.”

“What? That’s…”

“Think of it as being wasted.”

“Now, wait! What if the roles are divided like on the 20th floor?”

“We cover that. Magicians don’t exist for nothing.”

Edith looked incomprehensible.

I finished drinking the water.

If it is difficult to share power, there is no choice but to gather more.

overwhelmingly. To not collapse under any circumstances.

The other party is just ‘making time’.

I drank the water.

‘Kishasha.’

I needed him first.
