Meanwhile,
“That’s the Lightning Rod...?”
Anomia’s leader, watching the battle at the front gate through the screen, couldn’t close his mouth.
“We didn’t receive any information that he had the Lightning Rod. More importantly, is it possible for the Lightning Rod to have that much power...?”
Even with the rainy weather, the Lightning Rod’s power shouldn’t have been that strong.
This was far beyond normal.
The fact that the Lightning Rod’s power was so amplified meant that very little mana was filtered through its magic circuit. Or perhaps none at all.
This implied that the purity of his mana was exceptionally high.
Mana purity equated to potential.
It enabled superior performance in all areas of mana manipulation.
Also, the higher the mana purity, the greater the possibility of reaching higher levels.
That someone like him was still at the 4th Tier was unbelievable.
“Tsk.”
The leader clicked his tongue.
Underestimating Woo-jin’s combat abilities was a grievous mistake.
However, he still had enough trust in his contingencies.
“He won’t get through the traps unscathed.”
Several traps were set up inside Gray Star.
They were prepared for a prolonged engagement if necessary.
Mana-detonating mines, hidden turrets in the shadows, and various other lethal traps aimed at Woo-jin’s life.
One or two traps might be insignificant to Woo-jin, but accumulated damage would eventually lead to victory.
The leader thought so and smiled.
Whirr.
The burner phone rang again.
It was the control room of Gray Star.
The leader answered the call.
“What is it?”
– “L-Leader...! The traps...!”
“The traps?”
– “They’re all being bypassed!”
“What?”
The leader couldn’t believe his ears.
– “It’s as if he knows where all the traps are! He’s dismantling them all! It’s unbelievable...!”
The voice from the control room trembled.
The leader was bewildered.
“How is that possible?”
Dismantling all the traps?
How could that be possible?
That would require complete knowledge of their locations and types...
“!”
The leader realized.
The blueprints detailing the traps were only given to high-ranking officers.
If Woo-jin had obtained such information, it meant he was deeply involved with the organization.
“Something...”
With unexpected and shocking results unfolding before his eyes, the leader felt a strong sense of foreboding.
Initially, he had envisioned treating Woo-jin like a hamster trapped in a cage, driving and cornering him at Gray Star.
The sense of unease gradually became clearer.
Maybe it was he who had been playing into the opponent’s hands all along.
Such an ominous feeling.
He already thought he had evaluated Woo-jin highly enough and remained cautious.
Even that might have been an underestimation.
The leader’s face turned pale.
He urgently called the highest-ranking officer.
“AQ...! Take care of the Disciplinary Committee Leader from Ahsung High.”
– “Understood.”
My chest began to burn furiously.
“Grrrr....”
The brute who had punched me growled like a beast.
I knew him well.
One of the bosses of Gray Star.
The third-ranking officer in Anomia.
A dropout from Mayeon High, Jang Ha-Moon.
“Hello, Disciplinary Committee Leader.”
The hooded girl greeting me
casually was also familiar. She was another boss of Gray Star.
The second-ranking officer in Anomia.
A dropout from our academy, Lee Ji-Soo.
Both were at the 5th rank.
Click.
Combat drones swirled around them, aiming their weapons at me.
It was just like the scene from the game.
They must have been preparing to show off like this.
And it was indeed quite an impressive sight.
“Sorry for the surprise attack. A 4th Tier wouldn’t have withstood that punch.”
Ji-Soo’s voice echoed through the space.
“Even if it’s unfair, please understand. It was the leader’s order to take care of any intruders.
Okay?”
Whisk.
I easily stood up, and Ji-Soo looked flustered.
There was no pain.
It just felt like being lightly tapped with a rubber hammer.
“What the...? Why are you unharmed?”
Ignoring Ji-Soo’s voice filled with bewilderment, I stood up, dusting off the dirt on my clothes.
“My clothes got dirty.”
“....”
Ji-Soo narrowed her eyes.
Her once relaxed expression now brimming with caution.
The brute, Ha-Moon, who had thrown the punch, chuckled with a gruff voice, “Hehe, he stood up!”
That guy only knew how to make animal-like growls due to his intellectual disability.
Meanwhile, MinHyuk, perhaps relieved to see I was okay, started crying again, bawling loudly.
“Huaaah! Leader!! Please save me!!”
“Shut up if you don’t want to get hit!”
“Eep!”
Ji-Soo’s sharp voice startled Min-Hyuk into a whimpering silence.
He’s always like this.
Last year, when he was captured by punks who had a grudge against the Disciplinary Committee.
As soon as I came to rescue him, he started bawling and yelling.
I remember finding it so ridiculous that I ended up laughing.
I turned my gaze to the enemies.
I looked at them with naturally cold eyes.
“I trust you understand the consequences of messing with the Disciplinary Committee.”
I spoke calmly, adjusting the black gloves on my hands.
“I hereby place you under arrest and will punish all offenders severely.”
Reciting the official declaration of the Disciplinary Committee in a solemn tone.
“But.”
Crackle!
I activated the lightning mana in the telescopic baton once more.
“You will face aggravated punishment.”
I wouldn’t forgive them.
