My Range is One Million

Chapter 45: Who is He 1

She wore an angry look and answered him.

“It’s still a secret. I definitely don’t think we would be allocating just yet, are you worried?”

“Well... let’s go drink and then I’ll teach you a little martial arts and this...”

He looked around and handed her a clear crystal as big as a fingernail which made her blush.

“Is there some ranked four person in the vicinity?”

“No, although we were planning to find some after the oak search.”

The diamond that he handed to her had to be about 200 dollars. She still took it even though she hated it.

The Army’s system shifted its focus on the hunters as its center after the generation mashup. The mess that they created over through their years of desperate fighting seemed like fantasy and despite that, their laws were still in good condition.

“We will have to pocket this and discharge of everything.”

“Maybe on our next search we could go with a fourth tier and fight without documentation. Everything would be smooth.”

Sooreong took a deep breath and started to type on the army purpose laptop on her desk.

“Um... there seem to be two number ones in the health system.”

Joonghwi looked a bit confused at what she said.

“...Is it another reporter?”

“I’m not sure.”

“The support system did not all entirely dry up!?”

She moved the computer mouse and answered.

“It is. There was a dealer with an enchanted... healer. But they were all in different allocations.”

Joonghwi was pleased to hear her answer. The others were interesting he started to pay more attention when he heard her mention a healer. Of course, it’s common knowledge that a platoon of 15 people would have at least one healer but he knew that his group was worse compared to the others. He had one but their healer possesses a few fatal flaws.

“Sooreong... can you do me a favor and put that healer on our side?”

She then answered back with an angry tone.

“No way! I can’t do that. We have more than enough troops.”

“We would have more help for our next mission. Think about it? You know that that position holds great importance in our platoon and you know that ours was not in his greatest condition after going through the missions. We need another one.”

She was annoyed about what he said and if he was anyone else then she would have exploded at fired them right away. The only problem that he was her close friend from school and she wanted to stay friends with him. He was also reliable and friendly on top of his great leadership skills.

“Wait here.”

She had no way of turning him down so she just put up the healer’s file.

“There were few young ones these days so some of their pictures were still left unpublished.”

The image still had an unpublished mark but it wasn’t a big deal. The other fields were filled so knowing about his other personal details didn’t pose a problem. An epidemic had spread because of a villain so even photos needs approval before it could even be posted.

She then checked the profile and was surprised.

“A second level ranked hybrid?”

“Wow...”

Joonghwi looked confused. Qualifying to be healer sounds as hard but having a second level hybrid license made it sound even more unattainable. He had indifferent, abilities and a uselessly high nose ridge that could make the other platoon members jealous, even Joonghwi felt the same.

“Sir!”

“Hey, protect the top and bottom!”

Soonreong said to Joonghwi as she pushed him away but it wasn’t, that strong to make him fall over. He then handed him a pouch that had a seemed to be small broken pieces of something.

“Sir! Spare me this one time, please. We could still keep the big accident as a secret.”

Soonreong then took a deep breath. She didn’t know that much about his situation but what she knew was that his current company commander caused him a lot of hardships. That was also the reason why they needed a more capable healer in these recent years.

“Okay, okay. Go ahead back, they’re waiting for you.”

Joonghwi face then lit up.

“Thank you so much!”

Joonghwi then said goodbye and left the room.

A small camo patterned bus that had a ‘Advanced base 716’ written on it passed through the slow opening door.

“Here’s the vehicle number for you to enter.”

The person on the guard post checked the plate number on the military vehicle. He got on the bus, looked ahead and then turned away. The Seoul gate was the closest place of where they were at the moment. This was an unavoidable place for a monster invasion.

Later the bus stopped on the parking ramp.

“Everyone! We can finally announce the Alousu take over. It’s going to be difficult and scary.”

Everyone on the bus then cheered. The front door of the bus opened and their voices started to get louder.

“Okay, okay, quiet down everyone.”

“...There’s some kind of dust...”

“Ugh! How are we going to deal with this? My skin!”

Everyone wore a stiff new military costume. They had big headphones covering their ears since the other ones were pushed back because of the environment being sultry hot.

“Ugh... Why am I here...”

A guy that had his hair dyed with strange prismatic colors spit on the ground and looked around the place. The soldiers ignored him since they didn’t want to cause any trouble but their subtle expressions showed how they really felt.

The bus then came to a stop and everyone got off. Their expressions were to easy for anyone to notice and all of them felt unfortunate that they had to spend 15 months in that place.

Then there was the last person to get off...

He walked out of the bus and his scampish look was changed into a bored expression. He was about 180 centimeters tall and he had a slim frame. His hood covered the upper half of his face and his only noticeable features were a scar on his cheek and a tiger drawing on his nose. His appearance was a bit unique so one would have thought that he would have some kind of attention drawn to him but...

The people looked at him for a different reason. His name tag was stuck on his chest and it had a small number written on it. There were two numbers and instead of it being written in black like everyone else, he had his in gold.

“Does that mean he’s a second rank hybrid?”

A hunter that knew a little about his rank whispered to his friend, he then shook his head and replied.

“Right. He’s a hybrid...”

That meant he had the magic system skill and physical strength system skills.

There were more than one or two hunters in this world who had the same rank so they weren’t all that surprised. It’s common for people to have more than one skill but possessing those two type of skills at the same time were considered rare.

“If he’s a hybrid then he must be good right? So why is someone like him here?...”

“I don’t know. He’s just getting better and better at his hybrid skills so maybe that’s why...”

“You think so? His flagship had clearly been pushed and he learned a new skill to get skills beyond his current level.”

“I’m a little confused.”

They talked as they got off of the bus and to the camp along with everyone else. The rearguard in the very back sluggishly followed along, they heard them talk so they went up to them.

“A healer?”

He jumped in and asked but the guy shook his head and the other one who was talking then looked around. He was about to tell something when,

“There’s an emergency, follow me!”

The ones that lead the group and looked back and nodded their heads. There was a healer but they still didn’t know their patient’s condition. For them to behave like that meant that there was a chance that they weren’t that terribly wounded. Requesting for a healer would have been the right thing to do but...

He brought a few things into the came and rushed back as fast as he could. He saw Jaehwang and pushed in into the military bus after yelling,

“Go!!! Complete the capture and let’s escape!”

“Guard us! Don’t let them come after us!”

“I got it!”

Everyone in the military truck had an angry look on their faces as soon as he finished speaking. They nodded their heads and looked through the window to guard it.

“Fiji! Step on it! Ugh, I really want to show my driving skills today!”

“Assign me! Captain! You can’t stop me today!”

He yelled, he then started the truck and took off.

The gap between the military bus and the small camp was almost 60 kilometers long. The suspension then blew up and the handle had snapped. The car started to speed up. The 30 ton massive military bus became covered in a foggy smoke and the speed kept going faster and faster.

They were placed in a difficult situation and one guy at the back yelled at someone.

“What’s going on?!”

“Ah... i’m sorry... I must have introduced it late.”

He then walked over towards him and handed out his hand.

“You’ve arranged your first introduction as platoon leader and first lieutenant.”

He stared at the guy and handed out his hand. He didn’t shake it but he responded with a shaky voice.

“I can do it, right?”

“Of course...”

Joonghwi took out his first lieutenant hologram license and after seeing that, he had a deep breath and took his hand.

“My name is Jeon Jaehwang and I am a second rank hybrid.”

Joonghwi showed him a bright smile before he shook his arm with both of his hands.

“Wow, Park Joonghwi is the best!”

Everyone on the bus was staring. Jaehwang then asked him a question after they finished their introductions.

“How will this go? Evidently, I know that first we arrange a stand by for everyday and then...”

Joonghwi scratched his head and answered back.

“Ah right... something like that but... something will happen in the middle of it so...”

“...”

Jaehwang clearly wanted an explanation for what he was talking about so he asked him to sit down beside him.

“The driver is good at driving but the road he’s follow is dangerous and distracting. Let me explain now that you’re sitting here.”

Jaehwang glanced out the window as Joonghwi explained. The bus moved slowly but it gained more speed over time and sometimes, it’s making a few sharp turns left and right. It was indeed distracting so Jaehwang pretended that he understood what he had been saying all these time.

“I see.”

He didn’t try to check if he was evil when they first met but something felt strange.

“Hmm... As you said, maybe I’ll arrange our platoon. Won’t we need a guard?”

“But why would they capture me?”

“Well, there’s a lot of people watching you so you’ll be fine. You will first use the documents to make the first platoon come but, that guy’s special forces will try to extort you when we take you there like this. However, that won’t be a bad thing for you. I’m not the type of person that likes to gossip but those people really are trash.”

Jaehwang took a deep breath and gave him a quick nod.

“So there’s no big problems?”

“Of course not. All of the documents had been taken care of”

He answered back.

-Is what he saying really true?

-Doesn’t it sound like he’s lying.

He couldn’t tell if he was lying or not but the spirit seemed to be right. He originally said that he would arrange platoon 1 but he seemed to be leaving something out. Besides, if the platoon leader had a problem then it would be his responsibility. He didn’t say a word despite that, they were now heading into the military camp and Jaehwang didn’t want to start any kind of arguments.

Who is He 1, The end.
