The Witch's Chapter (1)
Na Yuri wrote numbers on a piece of paper.
"The number that entered the Security Corps was 500, but Uram disbanded the Chinese Security Corps, and even so, various countries will recruit for the Security Corps, so it'll become up to 600 Security Corps members again."
Na Yuri wrote down 600.
"The reincarnators that Kisan and Roltui took away are 50. Besides them, there must be guys who can never appear again, so excluding about 100..."
The number changed to 750.
"Are there about 250 guys who haven't been exposed?"
-Why are you calculating such things?
"I'm trying to anticipate what 250 people can do."
-What they can do?
The Grim Reaper was curious about Na Yuri's thoughts.
"The Murim guys raise disciples. Multiple ones simultaneously at that. Unlike Mages."
-So what about it?
"What would happen if the 250 who haven't been exposed but are active form a group and raise disciples?"
-In 20 years, they would become a powerful group.
Na Yuri turned to look at the Grim Reaper and asked once more.
"Then what if there's a group that has been secretly raising disciples for over 30 years?"
The Grim Reaper couldn't answer immediately.
-Do you think there's such a possibility?
"You're an idiot."
The Grim Reaper seemed shocked and lost for words.
-Calling a Grim Reaper an idiot.
"Think about it. It's hard to explain everything one by one."
While scolding, Na Yuri still explained the situation to the Grim Reaper.
"It's been over 50 years since reincarnators appeared. Hunter Hall started hunting about 30 years ago. But when Hunter Hall collapsed, what was the strangest thing?"
-I don't know.
"That there were no real masters."
-Hmm, I see.
Indeed, except for Gu Ak-chil and Beop-seong, the Ten Great Masters formed an organization called the Ten Alliance, and the 50 Mages that Na Yuri had killed never joined Hunter Hall.
"Would they not have known about Hunter Hall? That's impossible. It's one of two things. Either gathering power individually or creating a powerful group."
-Are you saying it's time for them to appear?
"The Ten Alliance appeared too quickly, stupidly. Taking advantage of the time when reincarnators were welcomed. But thinking there's only one such group would be stupid."
Na Yuri changed the number to 250.
"We should assume that almost all the guys not belonging to a group have appeared. Ignoring those who are being cautious since they probably lack confidence in their abilities. In the end, over 200 people are gathering their forces."
-Like the Ten Alliance, it will become a complicated situation.
"It's surprisingly simple. They won't appear until the Ten Alliance fights us. Having waited this long, there's no way they'd miss such a good opportunity."
-What are you planning to do?
"I have to find them."
-If they've been hiding until now, it won't be easy to find them.
Na Yuri looked at the Grim Reaper as if pathetic again.
"You really are an idiot."
-Why on earth!
"I can't find individuals. But I can find groups."
The Grim Reaper decided to wait for an explanation, thinking saying anything would only earn more scolding.
"Two things needed for a group. Money and people. The people would all have been processed as missing or disappeared, and it would be quite a large number. And if we connect that to money steadily going into those disappearances for 30 years, that's it."
-It won't be easy.
"If it were easy, they would have been exposed already. But if we add a third condition, the range narrows considerably."
-What's that?
"A secret area. Unlike the previous life, this life has something called science. It would be an area not visible by satellite. A place where the media is also controlled. Otherwise, the secret wouldn't have been kept until now."
The Grim Reaper slightly turned its body.
-I really feel like an idiot.
"You are an idiot. You can't even fight."
-How dare you!
"So anyway..."
The Grim Reaper looked at Na Yuri anxiously.
"You seem to be hiding something lately, but don't bother trying. I'm not going to ask."
-I can't deceive you.
"Tell the Demon Race guys. If they're coming, come properly prepared. If they come half-heartedly and annoy me, I might go to the Demon Realm myself."
-You really are a Witch.
"I'm going to live this life that way. Because I regret not living as a true Witch in my previous life."
The Grim Reaper was Na Yuri's slave, but according to the laws of the Demon Race, it couldn't do anything harmful to the Demon Realm.
The only things the Grim Reaper would hide were matters related to the Demon Realm.
'If it's something unrelated to me, there'd be no need to hide it, so in the end, the Demon Realm is preparing something related to me.'
That was the conclusion.
-I will definitely keep the contract.
"Well, whatever."
According to the contract, if the master feels threatened, corresponding commands must be obeyed.
"Guard the house well."
-I'm coming too.
"Do you know where?"
-Anywhere.
"You find it fun going around with me, don't you?"
-I do.
"Good."
Na Yuri activated Teleport and left the laboratory.
The place she arrived at was the White House.
"Hello, everyone."
Waving her hand in greeting, before her were the US President and ministers gathered.
"I came because I want something. Find areas that match these conditions. By any means necessary."
Na Yuri held out a note with the conditions written on it. It was to find the hiding group.
"Understood."
The US President immediately agreed so it wouldn't become a problem. He thought it was best to end such meetings as quickly as possible.
"You guys collected a lot of reincarnators."
Na Yuri continued speaking while walking around the circular conference table with an expressionless face.
"Prepare a list. I need to see it."
"What? That's..."
At the President's words, Na Yuri frowned.
"You're lucky. If you had finished what you were about to say, you'd be dead."
The Grim Reaper appeared in the center of the conference room. Then one of the bodyguards showed a reaction.
At this, Na Yuri immediately extended her hand toward him.
A stream of water flew in the shape of a hand and grabbed the bodyguard's neck. The water that turned to ice was retrieved back to the Witch while dragging the bodyguard along.
"You used a Mage as a bodyguard?"
Na Yuri glared at the President.
Chaeng!
The ice shattered and the Mage's neck completely broke as well.
"You placed a reincarnator bodyguard where I'm coming?"
"It was for personal protection."
"Really? Then shall I make it so you can't have protection from now on? Was the US Security Corps 100 people?"
"I apologize."
Na Yuri thought for a moment.
"Fine. I can't do the same thing as my little brother. My little brother tries to solve everything physically. No matter how much I teach him that he's ignorant, he doesn't listen. I'm a bit stressed because of that."
She slowly walked and stood next to the President.
"Don't stress me out. Whether it's reincarnators or the US, if I get angry, I'll blow them away."
"I'll keep that in mind."
"Good. Then display the Chinese missile bases on the screen right now."
"What?"
"If you ask back one more time, all the humans here will die. They'll all die because of you. Understand?"
"Understood."
The President made eye contact, and one minister made a troubled expression before picking up the phone.
Soon, a map of China appeared on the screen.
"Explain only the places where the missiles are targeted at Korea."
"The locations identified so far are 5 missile bases. They possess about 1,200 missiles."
"That's increased a lot."
Even before reincarnators appeared, China had about 600 missiles aimed at Korea.
It was a deployment considering various international situations.
"China, having lost even the Security Corps to the Ten Alliance, has no choice but to rely on weapons in the end."
Saying that, Na Yuri looked at the President.
"Mobilize every satellite there is and watch closely. Because this could be America's future."
The Witch left those words and departed.
Dalian Missile Base, China.
Dark clouds gathered in the spring sky and poured down torrential rain.
Simultaneously, ice pillars rose in unison along the fence surrounding the missile base.
The water that fell to the ground began rising like a flood, having lost any place to escape.
The drains were already blocked with ice and couldn't function at all.
The missile base was submerged in an instant, and the soldiers couldn't do anything.
"If you don't run away now, you'll all be buried."
A giant ice spear rose in the sky.
The ice spear fell to the ground and made a hole down to the lowest floor of the underground facility.
Water began seeping inside.
Only then did the soldiers start escaping the base.
Thus, the missile base became submerged like a giant bathtub.
1 hour.
That's how long it took for China's 5 missile bases to lose function.
"Little brother causes trouble, big sister cleans up. Being in the position of big sister really is tough."
Na Yuri finally met with the Chinese President. What she left behind was one sentence.
-If you aim missiles at Korea, next time I'll blow up Beijing.
She turned around without even listening to a response.
She destroyed the missile bases and came back to the US White House.
Having watched the situation via satellite, they said nothing.
"You know what to do, right?"
"It's already been handled."
"Smart."
The US also had various means to strike Korea. Before Na Yuri could even mention this, the US had changed their target points.
"Here is the list you requested."
The list of reincarnators was also handed over to Na Yuri.
"Lastly, there's something I want to ask."
"Please speak."
The President and ministers waited for Na Yuri's words with tense expressions.
"I need to buy a gift for my little brother. Could you introduce me to a good gift shop?"
The President firmly hid his deflated feelings and looked behind him. One bodyguard stepped forward.
"I'll guide you."
Na Yuri followed the bodyguard out of the conference room.
After she left, only sighs and silence remained in the conference room.
Taking the bodyguard's car and purchasing a person-sized bear doll, Na Yuri returned to Korea.
-I'm curious about the reason you went that far with China. They won't stay still.
"Of course, they won't stay still. That's why I did it. So they won't stay still."
-Are you hoping for war?
"That would be the last resort. Before that, finding forces that can somehow respond to us comes first."
-You're trying to make the enemy reveal themselves.
"They'll probably search with the nation's survival at stake. There was something in past history too. Something about searching the entire country for immortality?"
-You really are a Witch.
"Hearing that twice is annoying."
Na Yuri glared at the Grim Reaper.
-Heavenly Demon says Witch every day...
"He's my little brother, and you're my slave."
-I'll keep that in mind.
Na Yuri turned her gaze away as if satisfied and picked up the bear doll again. She heard Yuna coming in from outside.
Yuna came through the Heavenly Demon Cult main headquarters entrance and greeted people as she came home.
"Big sister!"
Yuna, as always, moved her short legs and threw herself into Na Yuri's arms. But today, the large bear doll blocked this.
"A gift."
"Wow! Did big sister buy this?"
"Yeah. I bought it to give to Yuna."
Yuna received the bear doll. It was a bear doll similar in height to eight-year-old Yuna.
However, the pets that had been following Yuna showed wariness when they saw the bear doll.
"Big sister, teach me this."
The bear doll stood on two feet touching the ground even though she had let go of it.
"Practice with this from now on. If you can move the doll like a person, it means you can move Mana that much."
"Wow! That'll be fun!"
Yuna immediately stood behind the bear doll. Then she exaggeratedly extended her arms and started moving them.
Then the bear doll straightened its waist and stood proudly before slowly bending its knees.
"Demon Flower Fist!"
The bear doll lowered its right arm and left hand diagonally and took the basic stance of the Demon Flower Fist Technique.
Seeing this, the pets bared their teeth.
"Go! Battle start!"
The bear doll kicked off the ground and began combat with the pets.
'She's using martial arts with magic.'
Na Yuri looked at her little brother Yuna. To Yuna, there seemed to be no boundary between magic and martial arts.
Whether Light Body Technique or magic, running fast was the same.
Magic was good for creating fireballs, and martial arts was good for using strength.
Just as one uses spoons and chopsticks according to their purpose, to Yuna, everything was the same tool, just different in form.
'Martial arts performed with magic.'
Na Yuri seriously watched Yuna's play.
