The center of Neo Seoul.
An ergency evacuation order was issued for the Central Area.
It was as if an earthquake that could destroy everything had struck.
As if a tsunami that could sweep away everything was approaching.
As if a hurricane that could blow everything away was bearing down.
The citizens began evacuating urgently under the guidance of the Martial Law Guards.
Fortunately, the number of citizens needing evacuation was relatively small compared to other districts.
The Central Area was the core administrative zone of the city, far from residential areas, and the martial law had already caused many citizens to leave earlier.
However, the suddenness of the evacuation order threw the scene into chaos.
Koooom!!
An imnse magical power enveloped Neo Seoul.
The sky split open, and from afar, a storm filled with teal-colored lightning began to approach. The citizens scread and hurried their evacuation.
A natural disaster was coming.
One with intent.
The most dangerous being in this city.
A boy who once upheld law and justice to protect his ho and ensure a happy future had beco an avatar of destruction.
Koooom!!
Click!
Click!
The Central Area’s ergency defense system.
The firepower concentration sequence was activated.
The Central Area entered a full defensive mode to protect the Central Tower and the Principal.
Buildings around the Central Tower transford, revealing massive weaponry, including large cannons, erging from the ground and structures. It was a grand combat mode.
The entire district had turned into a weapon.
“……”
To An Woo-jin, everything protecting the Principal was an obstacle.
The only reason he was approaching so nacingly was to destroy the administrative heart of the city and its forces, buying ti for the citizens to flee.
“What… is that…?”
All the Martial Law Guards stationed in the city were gathering in the Central Area. They stared at Woo-jin, unable to close their mouths.
They weren’t sure if they could handle the magical power radiating from Woo-jin alone.
“‘White’ said he’d intervene. Our top power. So don’t be afraid…. If we can’t stop that, this city is finished…!”
A fellow Spartoi said, steeling his resolve.
The code na "White," aning soone who could turn everything into a clean slate, was the alias used exclusively within Spartoi to refer to Suh Kang-jin, the strongest mber of Spartoi and a 7th-tier mage.
With him stepping in, the Martial Law Guards clung to hope.
anwhile, so of the Martial Law Guard forces were stationed inside the Central Tower.
“That is a 7th-tier mage…?”
Principal Lee Doo-hee watched the figure approaching, carrying an overwhelming magical power that tore the sky apart.
With every step, the ground was crushed, buildings collapsed, debris flew, storms erupted, and thunder roared.
Any ordinary person would be terrified to stand before that.
Even the Principal wasn’t an exception.
The trembling in his hands wasn’t due to old age. It was the long-forgotten fear of death.
“That power… it’s unfathomable… This is absurd…”
The Principal let out a bitter laugh.
Woo-jin’s magic had an extrely high purity. With every step up the ranks, his growth surpassed that of anyone else.
Currently, Woo-jin wasn’t just a novice at the 7th tier.
He was already a supre being who had fully mastered the 7th tier.
“My eyes didn’t deceive . But I failed to realize that this brat was a greater threat than Goliath… That was my fatal mistake…!”
“Principal.”
Son Ye-seo, the Spartoi behind him, reacted, as if trying to calm him. But the Principal couldn’t hide his agitation.
“Why do you think that brat is walking all the way here when he can freely teleport through space? Why…!”
“Is it because he’s underestimating you?”
“No. No…! He plans to thoroughly crush everything related to . He must have figured out that this Central Area was designed to protect …!”
The Principal clenched the end of his armrest with his trembling hand. She stared wide-eyed at her new adversary.
“I must crush that brat, no matter the cost…!”
This was the final battleground.
The Principal was now convinced that his ultimate opponent, the one he should have put everything into defeating, wasn’t Goliath—it was An Woo-jin.
“Is that so…? Hmm?”
At that mont, Ye-seo received a ssage on her smartphone.
“…Hmm.”
After ending the call, Ye-seo checked the internet and frowned for the first ti.
“Principal. I have sothing to report.”
“What is it?”
“The public sentint… is shifting in a bad direction.”
Ye-seo manipulated her tablet PC and handed it to the Principal. As soon as he saw the screen, veins bulged on his forehead.
“They finally… are making this interesting, these re discarded pawns…!”
The Principal sneered, his body trembling with rage.
A few dozen minutes earlier.
“Huh?”
Han Seo-jin and Moon Chae-yeon sensed a familiar magical presence from behind. They turned their heads and saw an unexpected figure.
Chae-yeon laughed as if she had just watched a cody video.
“Pfft…! You actually caught up, Deputy Director?”
The person who appeared was a schoolgirl wielding a black sword, Hyeon-un. It was Oh Baek-seo.
Seo-jin stared blankly at Baek-seo. For so reason, she didn’t seem to have any intention of fighting.
It didn’t look like she had co for a confrontation.
“You ca to fetch in this situation? Aww, how sweet.”
“……”
Baek-seo ignored Chae-yeon’s words and looked far off at Woo-jin, who was walking away.
A human of the 7th tier, destroying everything around him just by walking and releasing his magic.
All the enemy forces were focused on Woo-jin, but none could approach him.
The androids and guard drones either self-destructed to attack Woo-jin or fired from a distance, but all were swept away by Woo-jin’s magic or disappeared into sudden rifts.
Baek-seo watched Woo-jin with a face full of complex emotions.
Right now… she couldn’t get close to him.
There was sothing she needed to do first.
“Hey, it’s kind of rude to ignore soone standing right in front of you, don’t you think…?”
“I didn’t co to take you back.”
Her tone was cold.
Baek-seo’s eyes turned to Chae-yeon.
“Then?”
“I’m here to make you an offer.”
“An offer?”
Baek-seo walked closer to Chae-yeon, then noticed Seo-jin and paused, surprised.
“You woke up?”
“Completely uninterested, huh…”
“You’re fine for now. I can always catch you later.”
Baek-seo was unfazed by Seo-jin’s revival. The situation at hand was far more pressing.
“Pfft! That’s why I told you to work on your social skills! Then I would have greeted you warmly, wouldn’t I? Huh?”
Chae-yeon giggled.
Baek-seo stopped in front of Chae-yeon. Chae-yeon smiled at her.
“So, what’s the offer? Let’s hear it.”
“If you promise to live quietly from now on, I’ll promise not to pursue you for your past cris. This offer doesn’t concern other law enforcent agencies, though.”
At the unexpected proposal, entirely out of sync with the current situation, Chae-yeon raised an eyebrow.
“Huh? Suddenly? Oh, I get it~.”
Then, Chae-yeon understood Baek-seo’s intention and let out a small laugh.
“You need my abilities, don’t you?”
“Yes.”
“And it’s for your boss, right? What’s the goal?”
“The Principal.”
“Deal.”
“Deal?”
Baek-seo was taken aback by how quickly Chae-yeon agreed without hearing the details.
“You don’t seem like you’ll make unreasonable demands~, the terms are good, and most importantly, taking down the Principal? I’d pay to do that! How could I refuse sothing with only benefits?”
“…So, you really don’t like the Principal?”
“Of course not! I had to grovel and play the Principal’s lackey just to survive! Who’d enjoy doing that? Now I feel like I’ve got a real shot. Like I might actually live to see the Principal fall…!”
Chae-yeon chuckled.
If she could see the Principal’s downfall, she would do anything.
“So? What do you need to do?”
“Hijack the broadcast.”
“What? That’s easy? Is that all?”
“We’re going to expose the Principal’s cris.”
“You… you’re saying things that make so happy so casually…!”
Chae-yeon closed her eyes tightly and let out a sound like she had just enjoyed a refreshing drink. Then she looked at Seo-jin.
“I’m off. We can finish our earlier conversation later, or you can pass it on to the person who needs to hear it.”
“Yes.”
“You’re agreeing pretty easily, aren’t you? Oh Baek-seo is supposed to be your enemy, you know?”
“What do you expect to do…. Our goals seem to align for now. We can fight later.”
“Hmm, wait a minute. Shouldn’t I actually be more at odds with her?”
Baek-seo nodded.
“You were at the forefront of trying to kill .”
“Oh, co on~. Let’s put the past behind us! I’m not looking for redemption, but I didn’t want to do it either! I had to follow the Principal’s orders to survive, right? Right!?”
Chae-yeon waved her hands dismissively.
“I know. It doesn’t really matter now.”
“Hm, okay then.”
Chae-yeon stood next to Baek-seo.
“Alright, lead the way.”
“Yes.”
Flash!
Baek-seo and Chae-yeon left the area at high speed.
And then...
An astonishing event occurred for the citizens watching the news on TV or through online videos.
