The 'pouring rain' that came into contact with a 'new day'. They mobilized all of the intelligence and surveillance personnel who had infiltrated the Iri tribe to try to find him, but the man known as 'Pouring Rain' had already disappeared without a trace.
And one of the acquaintances who knew the man was being chased by unidentified people.
-The author is the last one left.
-We have to somehow keep that man alive to secure evidence.
At the commander's instructions, the soldiers of the 5th Intelligence Service realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly prepared for battle.
- You must convey the current situation to other groups as quickly as possible and request support.
- Okay, Captain!
- Open the cover. From now on, protect the target as top priority.
Five soldiers from the Intelligence and Inspection Service, including the team leader, moved about to carry out their respective missions, exchanging orders with eye contact and hand gestures.
One of them fell back to call for backup, while the rest followed their leader and began to chase after the unidentified men.
- Divide into pairs and attack the enemies on the left and right. And to secure evidence, it would be good to leave at least one or two people alive.
- I understand what you mean. Well, we'll take the right side.
- Don't forget who we are. If anyone gets hurt while dealing with those guys, I won't let that happen later.
- I will be very careful and finish this as quickly as possible, even if it means being afraid of the captain's repercussions.
As soon as the captain gave permission, the vice-captain and one of the warriors started running to the right.
-We're going too.
-yes.

"Damn it! Every time you try to help me, you try to kill me."
The 'Dark Night', a man from the Iri tribe, bit his lips tightly and ran with all his might. At that moment, a harsh sound was heard as arrows flew terrifyingly behind him, cutting through the air.
Swish! Swish!
'Dark Night', who was famous in the village as an excellent hunter, stopped running and threw himself on the spot, lying face down on the ground.
An arrow was deeply embedded in the tree in front of his eyes. And the remaining one veered just a hair to the right. Perhaps he had moved a little too late and the arrow was deeply embedded in his right side.
"You dirty little bastards!"
'Dark Night' rose again, spitting out harsh curses and starting to run away from his pursuers. However, the distance between 'Dark Night', who had been limping due to his left leg being uncomfortable from the beginning, and his pursuers began to narrow.
And sometimes, when I forget, arrows fly.
'If we continue like this, they'll catch us.'
The hunter's instinct kicked in and 'Dark Night' made a quick decision. Before I knew it, I was leaning against a huge tree and taking out the bow on my shoulder.
Phew! Phew!
'Dark Night', catching his breath and unzipping the leather pouch on his waist, skillfully applied poison to the arrow he was loading into his bow.
'At least ten people.'
The number of enemy personnel that you have identified.
'You've come so many times to kill me.'
I should not have fallen for their temptation in the first place. And I should have noticed it from the moment I started hearing those strange rumors that someone was missing.
But, it is already too late to regret it.
'Am I the only one left now?'
I can't guarantee that they'll survive here, but 'Dark Night', who got a good beating from the Mohawk tribe, plans to take at least three people to the other world.
The 'dark night', who had momentarily lost his resolve and was ready to counterattack, got up from his seat and moved to the left.
He quickly hid himself, crossing from tree to tree with his clumsy legs. And not far from here, he saw an enemy pursuing him, surrounding him in a wide circle.
'Because it's okay if I just brush past you.'
'Dark Night', who had loaded a poison arrow on his bow, released the bowstring with his eyes shining coldly. A fast-flying poison arrow pierced the enemy's chest, and a painful scream was heard.
Aaaah!
And with that scream, the voices of the pursuers could be heard here and there.
"This way!"
"Even though he has a cripple leg, he was once an excellent hunter in the Iri tribe."
"Everyone, be careful!"
Leaving behind their busy sounds, the 'dark night' began to beat again. At that moment, a short scream was heard from the right.
Aaaah!
Without stopping running, 'Dark Night' glanced to the right with a questioning look in his eyes.
'what?'
* * *
The 5th Division soldiers of the Information and Inspection Department were quickly dealing with unidentified individuals from their respective positions.
Approach stealthily and quickly take down your enemies.
Swish!
As the dagger passed through his neck, red blood spurted out without stopping. A Mohawk warrior with his mouth covered by his hand began to shake his whole body, then gradually lost strength and at one point he became completely motionless.
The deputy chief of the 5th Intelligence and Surveillance Unit, who carefully placed the dead Mohawk warrior on the ground with both eyes open, nodded to the unit member moving with him.
-Next, over there!
-yes.
Although there were four more of them, the warriors moving with the vice-captain seemed confident as if there were no problems.
And then a little while passed. Before they knew it, the 5th Division deputy chief and the soldiers had suddenly attacked them.
The daggers on his waist flew out quickly.
Neck, chest, and thighs.
Four Mohawk warriors were found dead on the spot, stabbed with daggers all over their bodies. The warriors of the Intelligence and Surveillance Division, specialized in ambushes, surprise attacks, and close combat, never let their guard down until the very end and finished the fight with a confirmed kill.
-I killed them all.
In response to the crew member's report, the deputy captain gave the following instructions with a calm expression.
-The target is in danger. Join forces and secure the target's safety.
- Yes, Vice President!
The information inspection unit soldier who had even collected the dagger moved quickly following the deputy chief.
* * *
Phew! Phew!
'Dark Night' was cornered and breathing heavily. The arrow has already been flying for a long time. Blood flowed out from the shoulder and thigh where the arrows had been lodged.
'Dark Night', wielding a large club, took a defensive stance and shouted at the Mohawk warriors surrounding him.
"Come! I'll take at least one more person with me."
The three targets have already been sent to the other world. Now knowing that he could not survive, 'Dark Night' prepared to burn his last flame against the Mohawk warriors.
"You seem to be working a lot compared to the others. But where are you all? Why aren't you here?"
"I will call you again."
The moment the leader of the Mohawk warriors glared, arrows began to fly from behind.
Phuuk! Phuuk phuuk! Phuuk!
Six Mohawk warriors were completely taken by surprise by the 5th Intelligence Service warriors and fell to the ground screaming in pain.
"What? What happened? Eww!"
The leader of the Mohawk warriors was also hit in the shoulder by an arrow and fell to the ground. And then, before we knew it, the 5th unit of the Information and Inspection Department had stormed into the place.
"We'll keep alive only those who can be brought in as witnesses and dispose of the rest."
"Yes, sir!"
The 5th Intelligence Service warriors quickly began clearing away the Mohawk warriors that had fallen to the ground.
Meanwhile, the 5th platoon leader slowly approached 'Dark Night', who was holding out his club with a very bewildered expression.
"What are you guys?"
Oh, Jo Jo-jang said calmly.
"The name is 'Dark Night', right?"
"I came from the sun in the sky."
"If you don't attack us, nothing will happen."
"...."
Stop!
At the words 'the sun in the sky', 'the dark night' weakly waved its club as if it had come.
"If you spare my life, I will tell you everything that has happened without lying."
"You made a good decision."
After a while, soldiers belonging to the Information and Inspection Department appeared one by one to belatedly support Group 5.
"It was already over before we got there."
"If you were going to handle it alone, why did you call us?"
"Anyway, you had a hard time."
The soldiers belonging to the Intelligence and Inspection Department chatted and joked lightly.
"Our team 10 will take care of the aftermath."
"The author and the prisoners will be taken care of by our 8th group."
"Then, I will write a report to my superiors."
The Intelligence Service soldiers quickly distributed tasks among themselves and completed their work. Meanwhile, 'Dark Night', who had received simple treatment from the Intelligence Service soldiers, was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
"I never expected I would survive like this…."
A bitter smile crossed his face.

The capital of the sun in the sky, a 'very big' city. Winter of 1404. Snow was falling from the sky, perhaps to celebrate the completion of the middle school.
The head of the architecture department, 'Lazy Beaver', guided me to the auditorium inside the middle school.
"Your Majesty the Emperor! This is the auditorium."
Inside the auditorium, students from all over the town were waiting for me, calling me a genius. At first glance, the number of students did not seem to be that large.
About two hundred people. However, since it was a middle school built with university in mind, it had various facilities. Lecture halls, reading rooms, libraries, gymnasiums, dormitories, restaurants, etc.
Of course, new buildings will continue to be built in the future to foster professional talents according to the number of students.
As I stood on the stage, the students who had been sitting on their chairs in a row all looked very nervous.
Phew!
Everyone said they were geniuses, but the students were still young. I began my congratulatory speech with a calm expression.
"We welcome all of you who entered middle school with excellent grades from each school. There is no end to learning. I hope that you will continue to study hard and contribute greatly to the development of 'The Sun in the Sky.'"
After a while, when the congratulatory speech ended, the students in the auditorium gave thunderous applause. I came down from the podium and chatted briefly with the students and heard their determination.
"It is an honor to meet Your Majesty the Emperor."
"I want to be a teacher who teaches children."
"I want to work in the government department of the country."
"I will become a scientist."
"I will become a technician and contribute to my country."
Although they came from different tribes and were different ages, each had big dreams and ambitions. I left the auditorium with light steps, looking forward to their future.
At that moment, a series of welcome notification sounds rang in my head.
[Tiring!]
[Quest completed.]
[Tiring!]
[Level up.]
[Randomly grants +1 ability and +2 ability points.]
[Your Stamina stat increases by 1 based on the random ability increase.]
As soon as I completed the middle school quest, I reached level 60 with a lot of experience points.
'It's been a while since I've been able to use the Celestial Library.'
I chatted with the 'lazy beaver' in a good mood about the improvements to the middle school facilities.
"There is nothing more important than what students eat while studying. I will talk to the Ministry of Finance separately and tell the Ministry of Education to pay special attention to what students eat."
"All right."
I hurried to the government office where my office was located.
* * *
"Finally, I have some time alone."
I checked outside the office again through the map window. As expected, there was no one there. Taking a deep breath, I opened the message window with eyes full of anticipation.
[Would you like to visit the Celestial Library? Y/N]
I couldn't be happier to see a message after such a long time. As I shouted "yes" in my heart, a transparent light instantly enveloped my body.
And I walked slowly into the magnificent and ancient building that appeared before my eyes.
