-Reunion [Nas'eul NORD Union Division]

-Boss, why did we leave earlier?

Six people were chatting in a disused factory. The boss was sitting in an armchair, staring up at the ceiling as if he might drown in it, his eyes still covered by his hair.

His observation of the ceiling gave the others the impression that there was something up there that only those with covered eyes could see.

Around him were five people, a tiny fraction of those making up the North Division.

Yes, we were outnumbered, it was just a high-school kid! because of this kind of action, our reputation deteriorates with the other factions.

-It was a mockery between them, but the so-called boss hadn't always said a word.

-You shut up; the muscular one was ready to jump on one of his colleagues, they laughed.

The boss came to and modified his posture on the chair.

Everyone fell silent.

He spoke up - I didn't recognize him at first because he looked different, but there's no doubt about it, it's him!

Sissy little thing; The muscular man, immersed in his thoughts of grandeur, didn't have a good image of the division chief, thinking that because of his lax nature they were losing their influence.

Everyone remembered how a high-school student who had come out of nowhere had taken the place of the former head of the northern division, but he'd never had any repercussions and Nas'eul himself hadn't interfered since, this high-school student hadn't done anything, -if only Nas'eul had given me the reins of the North our influence would be constantly growing.

His desire to climb the ladder was palpable. So why did this guy with no ambition have to be above me?

-And who was he then?

The boss looked up.

-Hm, I'll make it short it's Ichi, I don't particularly know him but it's hard to ignore that name, just remember never to mess with him.

The muscular guy looked surprised, he was certainly in a good position to know this nickname unlike his boss who had arrived from nowhere in the milieu.

-Wait, do you mean this Ichi? Wait, do you mean this skinny guy is Ichi...? Didn't you just freak out? In his astonishment, he'd said one word too many and realized it too late.

Following the question he'd just heard, the boss stood up, the muscular man taking a step back as a reflex.

Stolen novel; please report.

But he didn't see where the blow had come from, and despite his weight, he was now on the ground with a bloody mouth.

-You really have a big mouth. Be careful not to get carried away next time you come across him, if you provoke him don't just drag me into it!

He'd challenged his authority twice during the day, this move served to remind him not to forget his place, the members of this division are quite numerous, this kind of attention was necessary to maintain order, the others just observed.

They wanted to know a little more about the rumors surrounding Ichi.

-Who the hell is Ichi?

-I've told you, I don't really know him, but maybe he's just a nest of trouble for people like you, that whiner over there should know more about these rumors; besides, I've got something that prevents me from mistaking a person's identity, he thought!

Yo Byron Jeomcheol, he wasn't originally a delinquent, the son of a modest family with a perfectly normal life, he was quite ordinary himself, not precisely, after all you can't decide who's ordinary or not even if they behave like the masses.

What's more, he had a thought process all his own, which nobody noticed because of the mask everyone wears.

He was looking for something, misunderstood by his peers, he'd done all sorts of things, and on a whim he'd gone to the base of Nas'eul's northern division and beaten the shit out of everyone, establishing himself as the leader.

But he knew he lacked the strength and power to confront Nas'eul, so he did nothing, and Nas'eul had done nothing to him either. He didn't know whether Nas'eul was leaving him alone to push the organization's traitors out and mow them down, or whether it was a whim on his part.

Yo Byron Jeomcheol, knew it could have gone wrong, his family could have been in danger because of him, Nas'eul wasn't really a club of children at heart but a large organization, who make a living out of violence.

But one couldn't deny that it had been a blessing for the north to be under Yo Byron Jeomcheol's thumb, illicit actions had diminished unlike in other areas.

Then one day!

"YOU ARE THE FIRST SYSTEM USER".

A message appeared, he could see a window with this information as if he were wearing augmented reality lenses, at the time he hadn't understood, he'd thought he'd finally cracked -This world is really shitty.

But as he came to understand what was happening to him, it was an opportunity not only to understand everyone's information, but also to feel something change inside him.

A new beginning for Yo Byron Jeomcheol.

A certain ambition was born in him: "With this, I could conquer the whole of Nas'eul, for now I'm the only one using it. If I use it right, I could walk all over these delinquents, or even dismantle Nas'eul.

Thanks to the system, he assessed everyone's strength, using the system wisely, gathering useful pawns and gauging the strength of these obstacles. He even had the opportunity to meet Nas'eul for a brief moment and understood the gulf that separated them.

But with the system whose only function he knew was to prepare for awakening, he knew that this gap was little more than a hole in his path.

With this state of mind, he got ahead of the game, preparing his plans calmly, and even if he came up against someone stronger than him, he'd just have to assess him and evolve accordingly - or so he thought, until he came across an inconsistency.

Theos Martin, a person he couldn't evaluate with the system, just the name and nickname appeared and the restriction, for the moment he was the only user of the system and until now, he'd never seen such a thing.

He'd come across stronger than he was, even among Nas'eul members, but not to the point where he couldn't analyze them.

And those bastards think I'm wrong with the system - I can see your names and your performance - I know full well it was Ichi!

With what he'd just seen, Yo Byron Jeomcheol was indeed confirming the rumors about Ichi.

Normally, he'd have let his subordinate test the waters to get an idea, but now he'd rather it had nothing to do with him, which is why he asked them to stand down.

If that bastard wants to provoke him so badly, it can't have anything to do with me!

And if Nas'eul were to get involved, that would be a blessing too; for a moment he thought of the possibility of using the girl to create a conflict with Nas'eul, but he immediately put the idea out of his mind - his plan was functional, everything was running smoothly so far.

It would be a shame to include an unpredictable variable.

-I think he'll behave himself, just stay away from him!

Nothing is more frightening than the unknown, and after getting used to probing others you're even more afraid of what you couldn't understand, such was the state of mind in which Yo Byron Jeomcheol found himself.

-Who'd be crazy enough to provoke this guy? Especially if the rumors I've heard about him are true; Retorted the remaining members.

-As long as you understand!!!
