Chapter 125. bug catcher (2)
oh oh oh oh-.
Watching the soaring life, the man with glasses laughed.
Since he became the manager of the cradle, Yuri Holland was the first person to launch such a provocation from the start.
‘Certainly he wasn’t insane.’
Perhaps being able to cause such a life with just a few words is a talent if it is a talent.
‘Then, shall we see if he deserves to tease his snout like that?’
I knew full well that Yuri Holland’s skills were outstanding.
In addition, his colleagues Arin Helga and Bovikrtankapurtavi are also talented enough to walk 6 steps in a hundred steps ceremony in recent years.
However, the fight between individual skills and the fight between groups was different.
Even those three turned all 167 people into enemies.
No matter how good their skills were, it might be difficult to overturn their numerical inferiority unless Yuri was the absolute strongest.
but… … .
‘Those three have a record of catching Greta.’
Therefore, I wondered how Yuri Holland, who had launched a wide-area provocation, and the squad he would lead would solve the situation.
The bespectacled man with a light smile snapped his fingers.
Just-.
Then, some of the Black Swordsmen who were watching him tampered with the mechanical device.
Kiki profit-.
The doors to the (old) Animal Crossing and (current) Forest Battlefield have begun to open.
At the same time, the intensity of the 167 people’s deaths increased.
Until just a little while ago, their will to live was ‘I will definitely kill you!’, but now it has changed to ‘I can kill you!’
As if to prove this, the hands of the riders of the 50th class glaring at the glass went up to the hilt of the sword.
And Yuri faced with such 50 times.
Standing calmly with his back to the slowly opening door, he waved his hand toward Poppy and Arin.
so that only they can see it.
‘hungry?’
‘we? Come?’
A hand gesture that calls out to anyone who sees it.
They really didn’t want to go, but they couldn’t stop, so Poppy and Arin sneaked up to Yuri and stood next to him.
Together with him, as they indirectly encountered the killing spree pouring down on Yuri, their faces became even more drawn.
‘Ah, this is why I didn’t want to come!’
On the one hand, because of this kind of living, Yuri standing casually looks amazing.
Kki-Geu-Geu-Geu-.
By the time the entrance to the quest ground was almost open.
Arin looked straight ahead and asked without moving his lips like ventriloquist.
“… What do you mean? Are you thinking about something?”
There was some anticipation in it.
Still, if it’s Yuri, I hope that there will be some kind of countermeasure to overcome this situation.
To this, Yuri also responded with ventriloquism.
“of course.”
At those words, Arin and Poppy’s faces suddenly brightened.
It gave me hope that I would not die just like this.
and that moment.
thud-.
The door is finally wide open.
“Current time March 10th, 09:12. The quest to take the armband begins.”
Gooooo!
With the declaration of Angyeongnam, the killing of the four sides reached its peak.
At the same time, there was a voice that pierced his life.
“Hey you bastards, go ahead! step… … !”
People who seemed to rush at Yuri’s roaring cry stopped for a moment.
The moment a small question mark popped up in their heads.
“Just one squad at a time!”
“… … .”
“… Didn’t I tell you to come all at once?”
The life that soared at the words of poor excuses that followed immediately blurred.
Yuri, who saw this, spoke softly so that only her surroundings could hear.
“Guys.”
“… … ?”
“Bounce.”
“… … ?”
It was obviously so simple and easy, but Arin and Poppy stood blankly for a moment and had to interpret its meaning.
Because it wasn’t that stupid.
About a second later, when the two realized the meaning of ‘bounce’ and looked back, Yuri had already passed the entrance and was running far away.
‘I?!’
‘Are you hungry?!’
Arin and Poppy open their mouths in surprise when they see the back of Yuri’s head, who abandoned them and ran away.
But I couldn’t stay surprised forever.
“Go, go together!”
“hungry!”
The two of them started running after Yuri.
Just like that, Squad 1 disappears in front of my eyes.
“… … .”
In the middle of silence once again in the hall.
The faces of the remaining 50 units, who barely recognized the situation that had just occurred, turned red.
They shouted as they saw Yuri and the children who had become three dots.
“Get those bastards!”
“Don’t miss it!”
“Follow me!”
“Unconditionally grab it!”
Dozens of people rushed into the forest battlefield, with those who received the heat as the lead.
And even those who pass through the entrance a little more leisurely than them.
Looking at the vacant lot in an instant, the man with glasses threw out a word.
“… f*cked up.”
Apparently, the guy named Yuri Holland was a crazier seed than he thought.
* * *
Meanwhile, Arin and Poppy quickly followed after Yuri.
Arin shouted in place of Poppy, who was having a hard time just chasing after her.
“Even if 167 bugs got together, they said they were bugs! Didn’t that mean that if 167 bugs attacked at once, you could deal with them! Why are you running away all of a sudden!”
At this, Yuri looked back.
He responded by performing a trick of running backwards.
“It’s not?”
“then?”
“You meant that even if bugs got together, the root of being a bug wouldn’t change?”
“… … .”
“Doesn’t bugs become human when they unite?”
“… I have no backbone.”
… This bastard, just by looking at it, it seemed clear that he changed his words because he was scared after shouting.
A pair of wicks lit up in Arin’s eyes.
“Well, why do you want to provoke something you can’t handle!”
“Ugh, that was all a provocation with a reason!”
“Why, what reason!”
“Maybe it was my strategic provocation to infuse the enemies with anger and cloud their rational judgment?”
“… I have no conscience.”
Generating excuses without a moment’s hesitation must be an area of talent.
In that sense, he was clearly a genius.
Arin sighed heavily.
“Hey, what are you going to do now? Aren’t you supposed to prepare for something?”
“So what are you running like this?”
“… What are you talking about?”
“Eh, because I don’t know anything like this. After all, it was good that I entrusted you with the squad leader.”
“you… … !”
Yuri stuck out her tongue as if feeling pathetic, and cut off Arin before she shouted in a fit of rage.
“There are three of us and there are 167 over there. However, in order for them to take advantage of the absolute majority, two conditions are necessary.”
“what is that?”
“Chief and Time.”
“Are you talking about a unified chain of command and when it can be applied?”
“Exactly!”
Seeing Arin understand her words at once, Yuri raised her thumb.
Then he smiled wickedly.
“But I don’t know if those bastards who chase us like colts with their tails on fire have something like that.”
“Ah, well, I don’t know if those guys will organize their battle lines and move organically… … .”
What would they do if more than a hundred people were running towards them?
Without a unified chain of command, they were just 24 separate squads.
And a squad of only about 10 people was not afraid of opponents.
The moment I was so sure, Arin’s eyes flashed as he looked at the glass.
‘No way, Yuri… … .’
Everything so far has been so natural that I thought it was just an impromptu action… … .
‘Wasn’t that the case?’
He himself noticed the atmosphere of his classmates who rejected them as if they had hit a wall, but Yuri couldn’t have been unaware of it.
‘Is that why?’
Was the situation that immediately provoked the classmates and made them come after them all intentional actions?
Was it really just a literal strategic provocation?
‘this… To gain a circumstantial advantage?’
If all of that was the directing and Yuri’s acting.
The speed at which he judged the situation and the improvisation with which he created a plan were truly appalling.
As Arin gazed at Yuri gently, Yuri insinuatedly opened her mouth.
“Right now, in this forest, we have two advantages.”
“Two?”
Arin tilted his head as if he didn’t know.
In response, Yuri opened a finger.
“First, there is no one who knows the geography of this forest as well as we do.”
“What is that… … .”
Arin, who tried to deny Yuri’s words, exclaimed when he saw the direction they were running.
“Oh, so! That’s why you’re going in there!’
In the past, this forest battlefield, which was called Animal Forest, was divided into several areas for each beast.
Among them, they were the only ones who entered the territory of bears and tigers and wandered around.
Therefore, there would be no other squad that knew the geography of that area as much as they did.
At this, Arin’s eyes flashed.
‘What if we drag the enemies who move in squad units without uniting into a place familiar to us?’
What if you could do that?
“… Wouldn’t it be nice to break each one down?”
“That’s it.”
Again, seeing Arin understand his story at once without any explanation, Yuri smiled lightly.
‘Because it’s definitely comfortable.’
Colleagues who grasp their intentions at once without having to explain several times.
This was definitely a strength in many ways.
“Then what about the second?”
“second is… Let’s talk later.”
Having said that, Yuri pointed a finger in front of herself.
At this, Arin’s gaze turned back, and there was Poppy, who ran in panting, unable to even shout “I’m hungry.”
Yuri looked at him and stuck out her tongue as if feeling sorry for him.
“He’s going to run out of breath.”
“ah!”
Just like Yuri said, Poppy clattered as if she would run out of breath at any moment.
Yuri runs backwards and even talks.
Arin, who keeps pace with that speed with ease.
Unlike the two, who specialized in speed and agility, Poppy, who specialized in strength and stamina, must have been too busy with her current speed.
In response, Yuri quickly spoke the following words.
“Remember the code of conduct in case of a failed tiger hunt?”
“of course.”
Arin nodded, and Yuri waved her hand.
“Then you take Poppy over there and get ready.”
“you?”
“I’m going to reduce the number of heads to pass some time and see.”
“Will you be okay by yourself?”
“I’ll be moving secretly, so it’s perfect to be alone. There’s no such thing as too much of a problem with the guys chasing after me with their eyes closed. So let me know and I will come.”
“what?”
“What kind of person are they chasing right now?”
“… … .”
“See you later.”
After saying that, Yuri ran forward.
Originally, Yuri was running backwards.
When he ran forward, it was the opposite of the direction Arin and Poppy were running.
In the direction of the other 50 that may be coming right after them.
And remembering the afterimage of the glass that disappeared in an instant, Arin muttered softly.
“He seems to have a very good laugh?”
“Boat, boat, boat… … .”
“… Then I’ll bite my tongue Just don’t answer.”
Nodding-.
After Yuri left, Poppy and Arin slowly ran through the forest and disappeared.
* * *
Tap-Tack-.
Up to 13-8 with the boy wearing an armband called 13-1.
A total of 8 girls and boys were running together.
“This way!”
“More speed!”
There was a faint glimmer of anger in their eyes.
‘bug? Worms?’
‘How dare you compare us to bugs?’
Even though they came in the cradle and their self-esteem was greatly lowered, they were the ones who grew up receiving precious treatment from childhood.
That’s why the metaphor of ‘bugs’ that Yuri called them lowly.
I felt a deep displeasure at those cold eyes that seemed to look down on them.
And there was a reason why they were very displeased with Yuri’s provocation and easily got angry.
‘If it wasn’t for the cradle, you wouldn’t have been able to talk to us… A vulgar bastard!’
‘Do you rate us that way just because we took first place twice in the year-end evaluation?’
They had a high status in society, but in the cradle, they were the ones who were pushed to the bottom.
Because of that, I was living while suppressing my pride.
When a guy I had never heard of or seen anywhere provoked Danny for winning first place, the accumulated inferiority complex exploded.
But if it wasn’t Yuri who provoked it.
If the provocation was the offspring of another famous family with high grades.
They would never have been so angry and displeased.
Their anger was also a signal that the sense of superiority in their status in their underlying psychology sent them to regain their lost confidence by sacrificing ‘that inconsequential 1st place, Yuri Holland’.
That’s why they chased Yuri, who was to be sacrificed, as if possessed by something.
bang-.
I was faced with a black catastrophe.
