I Was A Porter

_

“An assault squad is now entering to close the final gate. I wish you a safe return in the form of your departure. I'm a Kim training journalist at the scene. ”

As soon as the reporter left the scene, three people sitting side by side at the news studio's long table were captured on the screen. The camera closes up the man sitting in the middle.

“Will the attackers be able to stop the final gate? For a detailed story, I would like to hear from President Shin Eun-jin, Director of Research at the International Gate Management Association, Choi Young-ho, a sad guild master in South Korea. ”

“Greetings. I'm Young-ho Choi, the Iris Guild Master." ”

“Hello Young-ho Choi. We would like to offer our sincerest condolences on your inability to join us on this final gate expedition. ”

Choi Young-ho's face suddenly flushes with the anchor's words.

It could have been said that he was a guild master arguing in 1st and 2nd place of the Korean guild and could not even join the attack party. The words sharpened Young-ho's nerves.

Despite noticing Choi Young-ho's appearance, the anchor did not change his face whether he said it intentionally or not.

You must make an interesting gossip to the public so that you can get a high viewership rate, so it must be one word that was aimed at.

“Thank you."

“I'll get right to it. How does Young-ho Choi feel about this last gate assault? ”

As soon as Young Ho's thank-you was finished, the anchor quickly asked the question to Young-ho Choi.

“Even the best guilds in the world have chosen to hide and choose only the best members of the team, so the possibility seems good.... ”

“But? Is there a problem? ”

Immediate answers came out of Young-ho's mouth, whether it was an expected question, but the horse tail was blurry and attracted attention, while the anchor tilted his head and accepted Young-ho's words.

“This kind of important expedition usually involves bringing porters into group 2, but the attacking squad commander, Dracsch, has assembled porters with only the lowest Class D Hunters. ”

The anchor nodded to Choi Young-ho's confident remarks and tried to change the subject, looking at Shin Eun-jin, who was sitting across from him.

“That controversy seems to have been happening from the beginning, but it's the only reason Lee Seung-ho entered the attack zone as a porter in my country, right? ”

“You're not just going to like it. Draksh may have assembled his team with conviction, but he was too proud to assemble a group of people to help him prepare for a shortage of power. ”

The anchor tries to turn Baton to General Shin Eun-jin, but Choi Young-ho intercepts the baton from the middle without noticing.

“I don't know, Young Ho Choi. I would disagree with that. ”

Shin Eun-jin's gaze at Young-ho, who was interrupted by her turn to say, became a little rough.

“Oh, General Shin Eun-jin. What do you mean?”

“Do you think Shin Eun-jin's expedition is 100% successful? ”

After the anchor questioned him, he calmed Choi Young-ho down a bit and looked back at the warden.

“The objective of this strike force is not to subdue Gates, but rather to block Gates. ”

“Please explain the difference between a penalty and a blockade. ”

In the anchor's question, Eunjin clears his throat for a moment, then opens his mouth.

“Gate Subjugation must deal with the Gate Master, who controls all enemies beyond the Gate, but the role of the 'Finder' in finding the Gate Core quickly is paramount, as it is aimed at destroying the Gate Core before it stabilizes. There are some of the world's best Finder Musketeers in the area, so we expect to block the gates and return without a problem. ”

“You mentioned that you calculated the estimated number of survivors to return, what is the percentage probability? ”

“Although there are many variables, calculating for 3 days to reduce the error, there is an 84% chance of a safe return. ”

“Thank you for your encouraging answer. So what do you expect to do if there's a 16% chance of a non-return? ”

Choi Young-ho, who was raising her butt, raised her hand as she was exchanging horses with the anchor and Shin Eun-jin.

“I can confidently tell you that! ”

Even though it wasn't elementary school class time, the anchor was troubled by Choi Young-ho's continued interference, but he didn't show his emotions.

“Yes, Young-ho Choi, tell me. ”

“As soon as a 16% chance occurs, the gate will become unstable, so you should proceed with the immediate subjugation. At this point, the group will have to consist of Class A Hunters and all of our Iris Guild core Hunters will be present. Including our Iris... ”

The anchor raises his hand and hangs up as he sees that Choi Young Ho's words are getting longer.

“Thank you for the information, but it looks like the tribe is getting longer. Can it be cleaned up quickly? ”

“You can subdue as many as 12 Hunters of the same level as the attackers you entered. ”

There are fewer than 20,000 Class A Hunters worldwide. However, it is unrealistic to say that we can subdue 24,000 people. Anchor and General Shin Eun-jin couldn't hide their embarrassing faces.

“First of all, thank you for your input. Lee Seung-ho is coming in right now, so let's rotate the screen for a moment. ”

As the atmosphere grows awkward, the porters' position begins.

The camera illuminates the rear of the line entering the gate. At first glance, I closed up a man walking silently, carrying a heavy captain on his back.

The man who cut his hair short was a stubborn body that could not be easily covered with clothes. I had impressive eyes that didn't fit into my comfy body.

“Seung-ho Lee is entering the gate now. South Korean citizens, may Lee Seung-ho's safe return. Three, two, one. Lee Seung-ho just hid behind the gate. ”

The screen returned to the news studio.

“Thank you. Gimyeon journalist. As for Seung-ho Lee, his career in Hunter... ”

Once the attackers are all in position, the anchors begin to tell useless stories to capture the viewers.

General Shin Eun-jin's prediction that blocking the gate of the attack group would succeed in two days was correct.

However, Lee Seung-ho did not return.

There were a lot of people who did not come back.

All the people who did not return were 'porters’.

Attacker Drac has publicly stated his position at the press conference.

“Getting to the gate core went smoothly. At the moment of nuclear destruction, the Gate Master began to roar, controlling all monsters, started firing and retreated, protecting as many porters as he could. But some porters who were terrified of endless monsters tried to escape. Some of the squatters rushed to the gate, but the squatters didn't make it past the gate. The gate collapse soon left to attempt a search, so we were unable to unavoidably search for missing persons and evacuate. ”

Despite Draxi's official statement and some surviving porters' testimony, there was some noise about the porters who went missing while joining the attack party, but they soon faded.

In fact, it was a very successful retreat just by running away from the incoming monsters.

Despite the angry Gate Master's gunfire, Dracsch deserves to be praised for sacrificing only the smallest of his men and escaping safely.

On the contrary, Lee Seung-ho, who was the only one to join the attack force in South Korea, was almost perceived as a coward who fled from monsters and died. Draxi urges you not to insult the dead porters, saying it was his fault for failing to deliver the order in the middle of the chaos.

Draksh's popularity of cursing at his team members for not being able to control the porters who were killed on the run has skyrocketed.

The Final Gate was closed and the Hunters lost their jobs, but the majority of people who found another job while the gates were closing one by one had no problem staying long enough with the money they had earned.

Most of the hunters with powerful abilities moved into security positions and began to blend into society slowly.

But 10 years later, the gates began to open again.
