The S-Classes That I Raised

“Are there many monsters outside the walls? ”

You've worked hard in a remote place.I 'm so confident that you're guarding the walls. I asked the question, mixing equal praise and admiration.

“Of course there are. It doesn't have to be dealt with unless it's happening inside the city or crossing a barrier. Monster byproducts are very rare, especially when meat is scarce. ”

Meat... Hold on. Was the meat in the sandwiches and the restaurant meat a monster? Even in my neighborhood, I used to treat edible monster meat to something special.

‘Maybe the main food here is monster meat. ’

It's desolate outside and a big city, but I've never seen a farm before on my way here. You need generous land to raise meat livestock, but you also consume food to feed it. By replacing it with the protruding monster meat that grows on its own, it should be able to reduce a large portion of the improvement to maintain the city.

‘The sandwich was also poor in vegetables compared to the quality of the meat. ’

Fresh vegetables are expensive and monster meat is cheap. Energy doesn't want to come from horseshoes or anything like that, so the power plant will be small.

In other words, it is actually a small self-sustaining country.

‘After all, going to another city is like going to another country. ’

The way you look out there, you don't seem to be having a lot of interactions. It's a world of city-states. Solemnis here looks relatively peaceful, but we don't know what Akates will look like with Yoohyun here.

“Nice weapon! Does this work by magic, too? ”

I asked him, looking at the weapon that looked like a large caliber cannon. The guard nods, saying that Mana is entering a lot.

“Even Class S monsters can do damage directly. ”

“Wow. Do Class S monsters appear here often? ”

“It's not very often. It's usually a B-A class. ”

“What about Class C and below? ”

“Less than Class C is rarely eaten at night by monsters of Class B or higher and burned at sunrise. ”

Did you accidentally burn it? I almost asked again. Monsters below Class C in this neighborhood can't withstand the sunlight. Knowing that, I didn't want to be more than a B rank guard. I thought it was a waste of manpower, but if there are no monsters below Class C, it's efficient to use for charging... Hmm, but I still feel bad.

At least treat me like one. What's the fuel barrel from the title?

You asked me about the other wall guards. Is the wall just a wall? Is there a device for climbing monsters? Is there a moat hidden under the wall? etc. The friendly guard explained in detail to the new guard. Thank you too.

“Fantastic. Oh, do you know anything about the city of Acates? I hear it's relatively close to here. ”

“Near next to Lancea. Even so, it's a two-day drive. I don't know much about other cities, but Akates said the guard treatment is not very good. ”

“Really? It's different from here, isn't it? ”

“It's a different city. Rumor has it that Mue of Med Prize is served like a god. ”

The Med Prize is a Muro. The city of Acates doesn't like to be treated as a Guard, so I wonder if the Alpha is really Yoohyun. They'll be good for the SS, though.

... Look what you've done to my sister. I'm gonna knock you out.

‘I'm worried about Yerim and Noah. We need to find him fast. ’

Even if it's not a real body, it doesn't feel as real as it feels, so there's nothing good about going through something bad.

After a tour of the Wall, a Class B guard drove you into the city by himself. Everyone was so kind that they were sorry.

The next place to go was the Solemnis Historical Architecture. As you enter the Archives building, you see a group of children visiting the lobby. When I was seven years old, I was a kindergarten student in Korea.

“Hey, that C-guard guy from TV! Right?”

The girl shouted and then the boy clapped his hands.

“Yes! Black hair, black eyes and red ears! ”

The children rushed towards me, saying that they were real. It's amazing that it didn't just appear on TV, it was mentioned. Sigma effect.

“Guys, you can't do that. ”

“You have to listen to the teacher. ”

Leaders stopped the children. Oddly, two of the three were Awakened and one was Class B. Class D is a fuel tank... based on the size of Mana. You put a guard on them to protect them.

‘There may still be monsters left to deal with at night. ’

Do you think you'll survive under Class C if you can avoid the sun? That's why it's more like a building door at night and a secure window.

Curious eyes sparkled everywhere. These are the kids who went out normally. The frightened or frightened colors were round and full of vibrant cheeks.

In a world already destroyed.

I felt weird thinking it was just information from the past. It's so surreal. We don't know how long this world has lasted. Seeing the well-organized and peaceful city during the day, it may surprisingly have avoided its destruction for a long time.

‘… but it's not real. ’

I don't need to care. I thought it was a fake world that was about to leave, but smiling faces poked me in the chest for no reason.

… the game is just better over the monitor. Virtual reality can cause a lot of mental problems.

“Sir, did you actually see Sigma? ”

One child asked me, pulling on my clothes. The other children also said they were curious.

“Of course I saw it! The first time we met is still fresh. Sigma came to me first and told me it was very gentlemanly to worry that it would be dangerous to be alone at a time like this." ”

That's how we first met, the stickiness between the bounty and the shopping and the scattered bills.

“I've never seen it! ”

“Me, too!"

“He usually comes out at night. Good babies get a good night's sleep. ”

“It's not a baby. I'm seven years old. ”

“Yeah, I'm seven now, so I can't go to bed early. He sleeps a lot because he's a baby. ”

The baby says he's really cute, his hands are still, and he wiggles his little hands. Oh, cute. Suddenly, I remembered the old days. When I was little, he was cute, and he couldn't do anything on his own, so I wanted to take care of him.

My little hand came to life in a distant memory. Babies have tiny, beautiful, amazing hands and feet. Particularly hands that are so small that they move and grip. How it got bigger than my hand. I miss Yoohyun.

When I heard the rambling words, Sigma didn't show up well. It's been a long time since I've been on TV. Shelter said that each household was given a private room, but the bed was so full that it was boring and stuffy.

Even without me asking, the children taught me in detail how to live their lives and worked hard. You seem to be more abundant than you think, with the exception of being stuck in the shelter for a long night.

“Hey, mister! ”

“Hello!"

I broke up with the children and went inside with the archive exhibit. The sightseeing fee was free. In the front, the city landscape was huge. One side was distorted, but it was generally closer to a square. To the east of the city, agricultural land occupied quite a bit of space.

‘Solemnis. 27 years this year. ’

I moved slowly while looking at the exhibits. A large model was erected in the center of the large exhibition space. It was a model of a large blue sphere nested in a depressed ground. Shiny light spreads out.

[Mana Hall]

The description flowed as I touched the touchscreen in front of the model.

[Mana Hall was first discovered 31 years ago from now. Two years after the onset of monstrous beasts, the Mana Hall, which appeared near the old Incidema border, was the first.]

Data pictures were also shown at the top of the screen. Early monsters said they were able to deal with them easily when armed forces were below Class D. But the crisis is coming as the numbers are increasing.

[Evolvers below Class B began to appear one by one. The Awakeners hunted monsters easily and quickly, but soon fell into a state of shortage.]

The Awakeners here say they have very low self-healing power. Even a superior Awakener with high magical stats was not so different from a minor Awakening.

‘Isn't that the level of resilience you have? ’

In this area, Magic stats in Class S can be targeted using very few Mana Potions up to Class A dungeons. Unless you waste your skills. However, the magical stats here do not seem to have much to do with Mana.

‘… I don't know if other people know about this. ’

You don't know the kids, and you get in trouble just like you always do. Especially Yoohyun and Yerim have high magical stats, so even fire and water swing as much as they want.

Fortunately, it was found that it could replenish Mana from the Mana Hall and at the same time convert to everyday energy such as electricity, and a new city was founded around the Mana Hall in each region. Raise a high barrier to stop the monsters.

[As a result of Mana Hall's research, the average rating of the Awakened has also increased. As Awakening with Mana Hall became the dominant, there was a limit to the number of Awakenings emitted each year. Half of the Awakening Target takes precedence over the Talent and the other half is the Draw.

In particular, a 'special baptism’ involving preliminary Awakeners with outstanding qualities, an SS grade Awakener was also born from the beginning.]

This special baptism can be applied once or twice a year, and an Awakening of Basic Class S. Then some of the SS Awakenings are originally Class S, but some have become SS by borrowing the power of Mana Hall.

Is Alpha the case? It won't be easy growing up to SS in four years.

After the basic explanation of the Mana Hall, a detailed table of contents appeared on the screen. I pressed the stamp item with my fingertips.

[Mana Brand]

[Protective Brand]

First, I checked the Managa seal.

[Pure Mana, not transformed energy, cannot be stored in an inanimate creature. Apart from the rare Mana Potion as a reward for the system, there is currently no way to carry Mana personally.

As more advanced monsters started appearing, the problem of manana replenishment came to light. During the battle, the need for Mana replenishment has increased, and research on how to use organisms as Mana Fuel Barrels has become active.]

At first, they were targeted at livestock, but even the most well-tamed animals were terrified and had to flee in front of the top monsters. However, it was hard to carry an unconscious animal around like a pack. Ordinary animals, not human Awakeners, were also extremely inefficient due to their low Mana storage capacity.

[Hence, the managing begins for Class C Awakeners, who are virtually unable to act as guards. The human Mana flow path is varied, but the largest and main path is the spine.]

Images of the vertebrae were shown. Among them, there was a round light on the back of the neck.

[An imprint on the easy-to-pull part of the Mana will allow the fuel barrel to deliver its Mana to nearby Awakeners. These managments can be shared, team, or personal.]

The Bible says that even if you get a mana brand, it will not grow. In this case, I was able to return to normal citizenship.

Mana's delivery was essentially mutual, but the guard could pull it out unilaterally, and it was illegal unless it was an emergency, because it was too much for the fuel barrel. To be honest, it would be illegal to charge a senior guard.

We also checked the protective seal.

[A protective seal is inscribed on the same position as the mana seal, to prevent spillage.]

Even if there is no Mana brand, it is said that it is possible to steal Mana from monsters with special skills or Awakenings. When Mana ran out, senior guards became defenseless, so the guards were basically engraved as safeguards to minimize Mana spills.

There were different kinds of these, and they were also effective in blending protective stamps and mana stamps.

[Senior Guards also replenish each other's mana by putting a reciprocal mana stamp on the protective seal.]

A trustworthy team would use it in a hurry. You won't be able to keep a Class C fuel barrel close to you when you're dealing with advanced monsters.

However, it was rare for a guard to not have an imprint. I'm gonna look really suspicious. Do I have to get an imprint? But I came into my body, and I left the dungeon. Can you erase it?

I took a quick look at some other city information. Cities are governed by mayors and city councilmen, elected once every five years, and entitled to once in a row. The guards appear to be in a special and respected position to play an important role in keeping the city safe.

And Sigma.

‘Most of your personal information is private. ’

For protection. Five years ago, the original sigma died and became the current sigma. What's his real name? He's probably not a sex offender.

‘Well, you haven't seen him since today anyway. ’

You don't need to think this through. I knew you knew about the monsters and the Guards in this town.

‘Let's eat before sunset. ’

You should eat well and get ready to leave.

* * *

Darkness has fallen on the city. There was no night vision where the buildings were scattered. The streetlights only stood alone, and everything became calm. The roar of the beast spreads for a long time in a human-free street.

Kwaek Kwaek, you stick a sword in the head of a Class D monster and press your body into your feet to pull it out again. After collecting points, you jump over the broken bench lightly. Nice work with the park. As the silence settles, you hear a small sound of the insect stopping.

‘Maybe there are other animals. ’

Wildlife may be a difficult environment to survive. Is there a mouse or a long cat in the city? Monsters could have eaten them all. It is a world where livestock cannot be raised. If you had a pet, it would be a relic of the upper floors. It would be a privilege to take the dog or the cat into the shelter.

The fountain is stationary. The moonlight shines on the still waters.

Goldberg Park fountain. Quest window is right here! It sparkled. "Hold on, hold on. Not yet.

‘Only if a guest arrives. ’

We're all set. I changed my clothes, and I put all my precious Class S equipment in the inventory. Just in case, it was like an earring.

I climbed up to the fountain and walked along the rim, tearing the wrapping of a sausage bar or similar and biting into my mouth. Two days' drive to Acates. I'm already depressed.I had a good day and had a good rest. I heard something like cheese. Delicious.

“Can I get you one? ”

There's one more thing I haven't unpacked. You shake the sausage towards the man who appeared in the dark. I bought it with your pocket money.

“Hello, Sigma. ”

“Hello, Class C. ”

“Don't get any closer. ”

Oh, class S. I threw my cash card with a sausage bar. Sigma's hands grabbed them lightly.

“Please add 100 million L first. ”

“There were 320 million L's of charges in front of me today. ”

That's about four billion in Korean money.

“Have you done a little calculation of all that? I'd be disappointed if you didn't have that kind of money. ”

He smiled and handed my card to the class S standing next to me, saying that I think I chose the wrong job. I manipulated something with a machine, and Class S looked at me.

“Your payment has been processed. ”

“Thank you. It's a fragile class C, so please be gentle with it. ”

Cashcard is back in my hands. I put the card in my pocket and took out the disc. A slightly curious look toward the disc. It seemed to be watching what I was trying to do. It's Class C, not a threat.

“This is my gift. ”

I smiled and pressed the middle button on the disc. Immediately after, I felt a distorted sensation in the space. The golden eye is also slightly distorted.

“Thank you for shopping, sincerely. ”

But now it's time for us to part ways.

- Grrrrrr.

You hear a growl behind me with a terrifying aura.
