Kidnapped Dragons (KR Web Novel)

[No.50]

Rank: 6

The 50th Teams rank appeared. Perhaps due to their first fight being earlier than others, the starting rank of Yeorums team was sixth out of fifty teams.

“R, rank 6…”

Soujiro flickered his eyes. It was his first time being in a rank this high in Lair.

“…”

Kim Ji-in was likewise surprised by the number that floated up on her device.

The team that was pronounced dead followed their guardian and left the room while grumbling. Their guardian gave a slight bow at Yu Jitae, who then returned a nod himself. Now, they would have to wait for three hours as a death penalty before starting off at a different location.

“Why do you guys look so damn happy?”

Someone poured cold water on them – it was Yeorum.

“N, nn?”

“Is something like the rank important? It could get pushed back anytime.”

“Ah…”

“Like, what were you guys doing? If youre a sharpshooter, you should obviously be hiding in a spot and preparing to snipe right?

Yeorum spoke in annoyance. Throwing a glance at her, Soujiro lowered his head.

“Sorry…”

“I dont need an apology; just give me an answer. Im asking why you were standing still.”

“T, thats…”

“Sorry for being clumsy.”

That was when Kim Ji-in interjected in a loud voice. After opening her mouth, she seemed to have realised that her voice was larger than she had expected and glanced at Yeorum and Yu Jitaes faces while biting on her lips.

Soon, a seemingly crawling voice escaped her lips with an excuse.

“But, there hadnt been any talk about positions right? Usually its the front guard leading the way with sharpshooters supporting from behind…”

“What?”

Yeorum gave a frown, before closing her eyes tight.

She seemed to be thinking back on the things she had learned. Instead of getting angry first, she was checking whether that was true.

The normal formation of a three-man raid team was as Kim Ji-in had said, but that was only for open areas. In underground dungeons and places with barricades, it was safe to say that Yeorums judgment was a bit closer to the correct answer.

“Anyway, sorry for being clumsy. Seriously.”

“U, umm. You know… then, what if we adjust our positions like this?”

Soujiro carefully revealed his thoughts. Laying stones on the ground, he explained the positions and roles of each one of them. It was a formation with the sharpshooters taking the lead.

After finishing his explanation, Soujiro threw a cautious glance at Yu Jitae.

“Hmm. Seems that you have a brain at the very least.”

Although the confirmation wasnt from Yu Jitae which he had been waiting for, Soujiros face still turned a level brighter when Yeorum gave her agreement.

“No. If we both go to the front, theres no-one to support Yu Yeorum.”

“Ah, th, thats true.”

“In any case, we will be over if the front guard dies. Being separated for three hours would definitely mean our death…”

Carefully moving the stones, Kim Ji-in formed a new formation. It was a 1-1-1 formation with one person supporting Yeorum from behind.

The question was who would be the sharpshooter at the front, as it was an extremely important position, while also being exposed to danger. While Soujiro was rolling his eyes in thought, a voice escaped.

“…Although Im not bragging or anything, my eyes are quite good. The blessing I awakened to was the [Eye of a Marksman].”

After cautiously finishing her sentence, Kim Ji-in glanced at Yu Jitae, but he remained silent.

“Your eyes are good?”
