Midterm (3)
It’s only been a month since the ‘Attack of the Necromancer’ happened.
Numerous faculty and staff were replaced once due to strict screening, but of course they were sensitive to security. Problems always arise with precedent rankings. There were often cases where aspiring heroes crossed the line for competition rather than external intervention.
“Do the right monitoring so there won’t be any problems.”
In order to prevent that, the meteor academy was monitoring the situation with the surveillance magic installed in the dungeon by mobilizing a doubling number of people.
Among the busy people, there was a figure that stood out. Unlike other people’s usual attire, the knight wearing armor alone had pink hair with slightly curly curls covering his back.
‘Mika Beatrice’.
She is one of the knights of the 103rd tower newly dispatched this time, ‘7th Floor – Imperial Family’, and is also a knight of the prince’s escort.
She was in charge of the test and was supervising dozens of screens simultaneously, moving her eyes quickly.
As expected, the aspiring hero who can use magic ranked at the top of the actual training test currently in progress.
Beatrice looked at the prince, ‘Rhein Castell’, reflected on the screen. He was walking leisurely, sweeping the narrow dungeon path with water. He was swept away by the tsunami, whether it was a competitor or a monster, and could not reach him.
‘It’s also a prince.’
It doesn’t belong to ‘Tower’ for nothing. Beatrice looked in admiration and looked elsewhere.
In addition, 3rd graders ‘Next Saint Candidate Astiel Grand’ and ‘Thunder Chang’ Jin Hart’.
2nd graders ‘Shadow Jeron Schubertz’, 1st graders ‘Ellen Aiden of Fire and Fire’, and ‘Manasa Oh Yunha’ were also active in the tower.
‘By the way, Ellen Aiden, that person is…’
In this kind of training test, my physical strength was weak, so I retired immediately, but it seemed a little easier to see if I had even developed physical strength.
“Oh, that’s great, isn’t it?”
Beatrice listened to the admirable chatter from the side and looked at the screen they were looking at.
“Wow… he’s that special student this time, isn’t he?”
“Yes. The record is correct.”
Every time someone with waving black hair beat the aspiring hero, one or two people were falling. Even if the opponent knew how to use magic, he didn’t care.
At first he was using a spear, then suddenly using a bow and throwing a sword, changing weapons at will. I felt like I was making fun of my opponent.
Mika Beatrice knew who she was personally.
This is because she was deprived of the right to possess the weapon man ‘Lian Arwell’, the proof of the martial arts that Beatrice once wanted. She heard that she can use magic as well, but Noah Park overwhelms others with only her weapon.
He himself knows how to handle many weapons. He was given the title of ‘Weapon Master’ right now. Nevertheless, the proof of the untitled chose Park Noah rather than herself.
Beatrice, feeling jealous of the talent of the young aspiring hero, looked elsewhere.
‘······Well?’
Then a strange scene appears. A similar scene was being produced in class B rather than class A.
An aspiring hero with a slightly ferocious impression was running wild with various weapons. However, to say that it was clumsy, even with Beatrice’s eyes, it seemed to have a certain level of skill.
Curious, Beatrice asked a subordinate, who was supervising with him.
“Bess.”
“Yes. Chief.”
“Who is that aspiring hero?”
Beth looked at the screen and scanned the list of test participants she was holding.
“Class B class 13, Seo Ji-han. As a special matter, recently…”
“That’s it. What weapon do you use?”
“Um, is it written as a gun?”
“Gun? ···Really?”
Beatrice heard those words and took the list and read it. As Beth said, Seo Ji-han’s main weapon was marked with a ‘gun’. However, on the screen, he was dealing with various cold weapons, not guns.
Even now, you can see him taking the spear of the aspiring hero who was defeated and turning it around.
‘What are you doing?’
Beatrice felt an extremely personal curiosity for Seo Ji-han along with an unusual feeling.
‘Is this a window?’
A horde of goblins and other aspiring heroes were fighting in the distance. It’s a good situation to catch up on.
Seo Ji-han quickly drained mana through the spear in his hand. Cheeky! The window started to glow with blue sparks.
[Teaching Window]
[A moderately useful spear that is supplied from the Meteor Academy. There is no special function.]
*Width 爆 attribute
*Increase penetration
*Increased accuracy with javelin
*Increased penetration when javelin
Even if it wasn’t as much as Oh Yun-ha, now these low-level weapons could be strengthened quickly. Seo Ji-han turned his spear familiarly and walked forward. Others would have mistaken his main weapon for a spear.
As soon as he entered the crossroad, Seo Ji-han immediately grabbed a reinforced spear and threw a powerful spear toward the front. The spear that flew away leaving a blue line exploded the moment it pierced the goblin’s head.
Quang! Other goblins in the vicinity are also swept away by the explosion.
When all the demons died in an instant, the aspiring hero who was fighting them turned around.
“What kind of child is killing…!”
The words could not carry on.
It was his knee that caught his eye. When it touched his chin, his neck turned and fell to the floor with a thud.
Soon the system comes to mind.
[4/5]
four with this. Seo Ji-han looked at the remains of the explosion. The spear could not withstand Seo Ji-han’s mana and width attributes and was destroyed. It was a very natural thing as it was a mass-produced weapon.
I looked around the floor and the guy I just knocked down had a bow. Seo Ji-han took it and took a quiver.
‘This is my first time using a bow…’
[Special. 28 – The effect of ‘Bow Master’ is activated.]
[Upgrade and correction of related abilities when using a bow]
There was no need to use magic.
It’s not really a secret, but what most people don’t know is that he can use magic. It was also a trump card, so there was no need to use it now that many people are watching.
‘I don’t even feel the need.’
There were 20 competitors including myself in the exam. If you include the aspiring hero who you defeated and other cases, the number remaining will be even smaller.
It’s only been 15 minutes since the test started. In the experience of the game, it is average that the test is finished 30 minutes before class A. However, I don’t know how fast I should be because I don’t know what the level of class B is.
‘Because I’m out of luck.’
Even if you run wild like this by yourself, if someone gets a magic stone, that person is number one. It is unfortunate that the 1st rank increase in the ability value, which is a reward, fails, but it is more detrimental to get up to A-class late. I had to move slowly, focusing on the magic stone.
Seo Ji-han once again looked at the flow of mana. If the distance to the Manastone has gotten closer, you may be able to see it now. Then, he saw a lump of mana in his sight just beyond the wall.
‘That’s it!’
It’s definitely magic Seo Ji-han moved quickly towards it. And the moment I entered the passage, I saw someone trying to pick up a magic stone. He saw it and he reflexively exclaimed.
“Hey! Watch your back!”
“····?!”
The guy was startled at Seo Ji-han’s call and thankfully looked back. The protests were already loaded with arrows.
‘You’re right-!’
This is the first arrow I shot in my life. But contrary to that thought, the correction of the perk makes the movement proficient. Tung! When the string was released in a familiar motion, the bow drew a perfect curve and pierced the shoulder of the aspiring hero in the distance.
“Kuk!”
The aspiring hero was swept away by the power of the arrow and fell. it’s hit
Seo Ji-han sighed in relief. At the same time, the system notifies that the condition is satisfied.
[5/5]
‘···It seems to have killed him somehow.’
Competition is competition. It’s the guy’s fault. Seo Ji-han quickly passed the aspiring hero who had fallen with the first place in front of him and grabbed the magic stone.
[Quest Clear]
[A reward will be given.]
The appearance of the dungeon disappears with the rising system. When the appearance of the auditorium reappeared, the instructor’s shout was heard from afar.
“B-Class Dungeon-2, 1st Test 1st Place Seo-han!”
done. it’s perfect This should cover some of the broken theory scores.
Seo Ji-han looked back. On the floor where the dungeon disappeared, aspiring heroes who had become incapacitated were lying down and holding onto the injured part and suffering.
Some of them were those who had been attacked by them, and others that looked like they had been attacked by a monster.
In case a battle actually took place, the Meteor Academy did not cast defensive magic in these tests. No, it was rather banned. That is the reason why accidents sometimes happen.
‘I wonder if this is right.’
Fortunately, nearby priests came and began to heal them. Today’s schedule is over. It ended early, so I had to go home and rest.
Seo Ji-han was not injured, so he immediately went to the locker to collect his weapon. Then someone grabbed his shoulder and turned him around.
“This cowardly child…!”
It was the aspiring hero who lost first place to Seo Ji-han. As if he had not yet received treatment, he was still pierced by an arrow in his shoulder.
He grabbed Seo Ji-han’s neck with his intact shoulder. His pale face was glowing with anger.
“I’m shamelessly taking the first place with that kind of thing?! Is it okay to live like that, Seo Ji-han!”
“······Well.”
Seo Ji-han felt troubled. He’s not in the same class, but he knows his name. This is something she has never been entangled in the bad side of, of course, in her experience.
‘···I did a little quiet these days.’
It seems that it has become more difficult to improve his image, which he has been working hard on lately. Anything I say here will only make this guy more angry. Whether he cares or not, his anger is justified anyway.
It’s easier not to talk. Seo Ji-han tapped the bow of the arrow lodged in his shoulder. Then, the aspiring hero immediately dropped his neck and sank in pain.
“Aww…!”
“I’m sorry. That’s why I told you to watch your back.”
Seo Ji-han politely apologized and turned around.
Now the remaining test is ‘practical’. I’m participating in the gate myself, but I don’t know what will happen. There was a greater probability that other complex events would occur rather than simply ending.
‘Well, don’t be vigilant and do well there.’
I’ve done a lot of attacking the gate, so I’ll just have to make a mistake.
wow! As soon as it opened, Seo Ji-han felt a heavy shock on the back of the head. The last thing she heard was her voice full of anger, just before her consciousness flew away as her whole body drained of power.
“You bastard, say that…!”
It’s that guy’s voice. Seo Ji-han was aware of the frequent fights between aspiring heroes in such tests. Because there were many sub-events like this in the game.
still.
‘···I didn’t know I was going to be the target, damn it!’
Seo Ji-han spit inwardly and fell to the floor.
It was karma.
A man in a suit entered the tavern and sat down. He pulled the sword from his waist and leaned it against the table. The black luster flowing from the scabbard is enough to make even an outsider know that it is a famous sword.
‘I want to drink, but…’
I’m on a mission, so that’s impossible. With tears in his eyes, the man ordered an orange juice that didn’t go well with the pub. Soon, the cup the bartender brought out was a mixture of orange juice and ice cubes.
The man drank it all at once to quench his thirst.
“Great…”
The man has no name. Raised as a hunting dog of the Aiden family, he is called ‘anonymous’ when calling him.
Mumyung was currently pursuing a faction. ‘Maiden Curse.’ It is a force that tried to harm its owner.
He doesn’t move alone. The hunting dogs of the Aiden family were currently wandering ‘outside’ under the orders of their owner, Ellen Aiden.
The place where the unknown came from is an area very far from the border of the Maginot Line, which is protected by the pagoda. Rather than there, it was closer to an eroded area where people could not live, the ‘Nether Heaven’.
I came here based on the clues I got from the captured wizard and a modified human named Jack. They had to run on their own feet because they couldn’t get any further information from them.
But it’s strange. If any power is large, some evidence or traces must remain. But Mu-myung did not catch any tail for a month. The same was true of other hunting dogs.
“…50. How is it?”
“Okay! Well then, from behind—.”
Mu-myung overheard a conversation taking place at another table. A man wrapped around his body and a naked woman chatted for a while, then got up and moved to somewhere together.
It was a common sight that would normally have been ignored, but the ignorance has a great sense. Even a sixth sense would be good.
After feeling something, he drank all the remaining juice and put the price on the table. Then he took his sword and quietly followed them.
The outside of the tavern was nowhere to be seen. The only light was the moonlight through the black smoke. Most of the electricity goes into maintaining the walls of the stronghold, so the streetlights were not turned on at late dawn.
Mumyeong followed them, leaning against a nearby wall and closing her eyes. As expected, soon after, the sound of an affair began to be heard. But after a while, the sound disappeared.
It didn’t mean it was over, it literally stopped sounding. Mu-myeong, who felt the abnormality, immediately took up the sword and moved.
I saw a man wrapped in tightness holding the woman’s face. Mu-myung saw it and immediately drew his sword and stopped.
‘…that.’
Surprisingly, the woman’s hair that the man had grabbed was melting at a fast rate.
Her body, which gradually melted down from her head to her shoulders, chest, waist, and legs, began to pool on the floor in a jelly-like form. Suddenly, the clothes, bones and organs she was wearing fell on them.
“^$%#@#$@%….”
The man muttered something in front of him, and the protein liquid, once in human form, began to condense with an ominous light. .
red stone.
It was ‘Kaeseong-seok’.
