Kidnapped Dragons (KR Web Novel)

On a cold winter night, the airshipGuardian was flying across the territorial ocean of Japan. With a displacement tonnage of 24,500 tonnes, it had a length of 95 metres, and a width of 37 metres.

Standing on top of the wide deck were nervous-looking cadets standing in rows.

The number of cadets on board were 800, with 87 of them belonging in the Azure Dragon study group. In addition there were staff members from Lair, guards from the International Hunter Association, as well as those from Japans Hunter Committee, and reporters. Their total number reached approximately 1400.

It had the largest scale worldwide for a mere one-time event of a military education institute, and was a demonstration of Lairs capability.

“Our priority is practical experience.”

The principal, Ha Sukmoo, started the press conference with those words.

“But even before that comes the safety of the cadets.

“It has been less than 20 years since the storms of war had drifted past us. Due to that, we had lost our family, brothers, sisters, friends and loved ones.”

Ha Sukmoo read through the prepared script.

There were still countless monsters, as well as wars against demons being carried out realtime around the globe. The likes of safety and peace were unrealistic but Ha Sukmoo sincerely wished it to exist.

“I wish the same tragedy wouldnt revisit us in this time of peace. We have taken all sorts of precautionary measures to make this raid into…”

His voice reading the script faintly quivered.

“…a safe event.”

He knew that something dangerous would be occurring in this place.

The event had to be cancelled.

With the mic in front of him, he could drop the bomb right now and the event will naturally be cancelled, since the media was watching.

“So parents and caregivers that have sent your precious sons, daughters and disciples to this place do not need to worry.”

However, as a mere figurehead chosen by the Association, there was only one thing he could do.

He could do nothing but read the script.

“The event will end safely.”

The dungeon raid thus began.

***

BM and Li Hwa were able to join the raid team with the recommendation of Minamoto Ai, while Yu Jitae and Bom joined in as assistants of BM.

“Oi Yu Jitae.”

“…”

“You nervous? Whats with that stiff expression?”

“…”

“…I tried talking casually as fellow assistants. Sorry.”

Bom appeared nervous, and it was evident from how she was trying to put up a casual front with a joke.

Once the raid begins, the two of them had to split. Yu Jitae had to move alone, while Bom had to travel with Li Hwa. During the planning of the battle formation, Li Hwa ended up being the one in charge of Ysayle Khalifa. The old woman smiled while whispering to herself, “Its fate, huh. Fate.”

“Bom.”

“Yes.”

“You have to run if need be.”

“Yes.”

“Have you completed the Teleportation Memorisation?”

“Yes.”

“If you think you might get hurt, dont even look back.”

“Yes.”

Bom would never get hurt. Despite being certain of that, Yu Jitae did not spare his entreat.

“You have to kill demons as cleanly as possible.”

Yu Jitae looked into Boms eyes. What did she see, and why was she saying this?

“…Alright.”
