Chapter 49: Didn’t think so.
"The hell do you mean by that?" Mark grumbled under his breath. "Weren’t you people who said I’m special?"
The rough surface under his hands fueled his annoyance, and when it scraped his skin after he lost his grip the pain caused him to curse out loudly. Thanks to the Force Field he didn’t get any deep cuts, but even a single scratch was still infuriating.
Mark was climbing the rubble of the destroyed building where the Dimensional Rift was, trying to reach the first floor to see if the stairs leading up didn’t crumble.
Same as last time, he was told to go deal with the whole thing on his own. The least he could call it was an annoyance, but to make things worse, he was just done getting roasted by that superior of his.
According to him, the first lecture at the Peace Keeper’s training academy was dedicated to curbing the delusions of the new recruits.
Apparently there is no end to the idiots who get themselves killed simply because they believed themselves to be the protagonists of a story, which brought upon the necessity to remind them that life wouldn’t go so easy on them.
If a bunch of people received something System straight out of a NovelFire, it was easy to imagine a few getting the wrong idea.
"But does any of them have a maid summoning system?" Mark continued to grumble. "Didn’t think so."
It wasn’t as if he didn’t understand why that mentality was a problem. They were dealing with world-ending dangers with countless people losing their lives all the time. Treating all of that as if it isn’t real, not only would that be an insult to everyone who had suffered, but it can put one’s life in danger as well.
"... Haa... fucking damn it..."
After a long struggle, Mark arrived at the stairs on the first floor just to find out they were blocked with tons of rubble. After looking around some more, he decided to go back and look for another route.
