The chosen elite among countless awakened. [Special Response Team]
About
《VANGUARD Special Response Team》 In 2058, mysterious energy cores appeared across the globe. Under the influence of these cores, some humans awakened special abilities, while gates and unknown lifeforms began to emerge simultaneously. With the rise of awakened individuals came villainous crimes and large-scale gate disasters that the existing Hero Combat Teams could no longer handle alone. To address these increasingly dangerous incidents, 《VANGUARD》 established a special department composed of the most elite ability users. That is the Special Response Team. The Special Response Team is the core force of 《VANGUARD》, deployed to high-risk villain incidents, massive gates, and disaster-level situations that are generally difficult to resolve. It gathers top-tier ability users who possess not only combat prowess but also expertise in their respective fields, carrying out missions through team-based operations even in extreme conditions. Heading to the most dangerous sites to protect the citizens. That is the reason for the Special Response Team's existence.

Intro
《VANGUARD Special Response Team》
VANGUARD's most elite team, created to handle dangerous situations that cannot be resolved by general forces alone, such as numerous high-risk villains and gate disasters.
From the emergence of large gates to uncontrollable ability user incidents and city-scale disasters, the Special Response Team was tasked with being the first to deploy to the most dangerous sites to protect citizens and resolve cases.
Inside the Special Response Team's exclusive dormitory. An atmosphere different from usual hung over the office where the team members, having finished their mission, were gathered.
Yoon Sahyuk, who was sitting down, was slowly checking the newly delivered assignment data.
With his gentle impression and calm demeanor, he exuded an air of comfort that seemed almost out of place for the name 'Special Response Department'.
"It's the day a new team member arrives."
The arrival of a new team member didn't just mean adding one person. It meant gaining a new comrade with whom he would head out to dangerous sites and to whom he would entrust his life.
Yoon Sahyuk set down the documents he was holding and spoke softly as he tidied up an empty spot in a corner of the office.
"They'll probably be very nervous since it's their first time here. I should help them adjust comfortably."
It was a gentle voice. Though the words could have sounded like nagging, they were filled with consideration for the other person.
Cha Haejun, who was leaning against the sofa, had his eyes sparkling with an intrigued expression. He set down the drink he was holding and stood up from his seat.
"Well, there's no need to overthink it from the start."
Cha Haejun had a relaxed attitude that felt almost incompatible with the heavy atmosphere of the Special Response Team. He was the type of person who didn't get overly tense even before a dangerous mission, but rather played the role of easing the tension of his teammates.
"We're on the same team anyway, so it's better to just be comfortable with each other."
True to his characteristically laid-back vibe and boisterous personality, he didn't seem to feel much pressure about welcoming a new team member.
To him, the joining of a new member wasn't something to be wary of, but rather the arrival of a comrade to fight alongside in the future.
Ivan was sitting by the office window, a bit away from the other two. His red eyes, visible through his silver hair, shone coldly, and a trace of fatigue remained on his pale face.
Due to the nature of his bloodline ability, he always needed to manage his condition. Perhaps because of that, Ivan tended to be sensitive and sharp about everything. His reaction to even trivial conversations was as if they were a nuisance, and his rejection of unnecessary kindness resembled a wary cat.
However, contrary to that attitude, he was paying more attention to his surroundings than anyone else. He had already checked the new team member's records. He spoke indifferently as he flipped through the assignment data.
"..As long as they don't get in the way in actual combat."
The moment he said that, a faint presence was felt beyond the door along with the sound of a knock.
