Chapter 600 – S-Class Hunter (9)
*
“I helped you because it looked dangerous. Is it okay?”
“How can a cadet. A cadet.”
The man muttered as if to emphasize the part about being a cadet. No, he had never been a cadet.
Aren’t we all cadets before becoming official hunters?
Although it may not have been the case in the days of old man Choi Tae-soo.
“Is this the difference in talent?”
I was a little dumbfounded watching the man cut off his bracelet with a helpless expression on his face.
“I don’t think it’s something you should talk about.”
Are you jealous of my unique abilities?
Well, that may be true, but if you look at his talent alone, this man was not to the point where he could be ignored.
Just passing the magic test means that you are almost at the top among hunters.
A hunter’s talent can ultimately be said to be magical power.
‘Well, it seems like my magic control ability is a bit weak… ‘
If it weren’t for my poor control, I probably would have easily defeated this man.
Looking at the magic power leaking out even now, I wonder if it was just a case of simply pouring in magic power until now.
Well, that would be enough, but it doesn’t seem to work in this special environment.
“I am not good enough. That’s all. Thank you for your help.”
The man muttered in resignation and gave up on the test. It seemed like he had made the calculation that he probably wouldn’t be able to do it with his abilities.
He couldn’t say that giving up quickly is necessarily a bad thing.
For hunters, it is a matter directly related to survival.
In the end, isn’t survival meaningful?
“… “
I thought about telling him to increase his control skills, but decided to just skip it.
That man probably knows everything, but he probably doesn’t want to hear the cadet talking.
As soon as he cut off the bracelet, a pillar of light appeared around the man and began to push away everything around him.
I don’t know if it was some kind of protection magic, I don’t know the principle, but it looked roughly like an application of portal magic.
‘For now, I got one.’
I took a coin from where the beetle fell.
‘Are we going to skip it again like this?’
It was simply a test to filter out hunters with a large magical heart. Although the man was not lacking in magical power, he seemed to be lacking in density.
Even if it is the same amount of magical power, the power varies depending on how compressed it is, so all hunters with poor control skills will fall here.
To be honest, it was never easy to apply magic power and fight at the same time while pushing out external magic power.
‘Whoa. It’s not easy.’
I don’t know if it’s because S-class is S-class or because the environment is special, but it’s not easy to use magic power, and I’ve come to reflect on the fact that I thought it would be easy.
‘By the way, it’s a bit interesting.’
Normally, when magic and magic collide, they cancel each other out, but it felt like they were dispersing without any such effect.
‘Is this a characteristic of a high pressure zone?’
It is common sense among hunters that specific skills are created depending on the arrangement of magic power, but it felt like that did not apply here.
I don’t know if it was because it clashed with the surrounding magic, but I couldn’t use the technique.
[Unique Area: Enabled]
Even if you activate the unique area, the magic power around you is almost motionless, and the magic power around you is not synchronized, so I think this is also meaningless.
Here, I feel like I have no choice but to simply apply magic.
Since you can’t use magic-based techniques, it’s purely a physical fight.
‘Well, I’m confident in that.’
Have you ever heard of vision swordsmanship?
*
“Hmm, the level has definitely improved.”
“What. It’s full of people with no patience.”
“It’s always important to be careful in unknown spaces. “There is only one life.”
A biscuit floated in the air and headed towards the mouth of a woman wearing a black robe.
Seungah Yoon sighed as she looked at the countless screens in front of her.
“Tsk. Still. “It’s not dangerous, but you give up so easily?”
“These days, the MZ generation says that’s the case. “My granddaughter said that.”
Choi Tae-soo chuckled as he looked at Yoon Seung-ah who complained.
“Who? Ah. Hyeji? “I heard you fell this time?”
“What. It’s still not enough. Still… “
“Our Seo-ah got along. “How did you educate your granddaughter?”
“I simply failed the magic attribute test. That’s all… “
“You said to the kids earlier that magical power is important?”
Before her exam started, she scared her by saying that it was so important, and Yoon Seung-ah giggled as she saw Choi Tae-soo backtracking on her words.
Well, it must be heartbreaking for her to lose her granddaughter.
In comparison, her own daughter passed her measurements.
“Tsk. I wonder what’s going on over there.”
“Concentrate on this test. “If I interfere, there’s no way a good sound will come out.”
“I also distinguish between public and private affairs?”
Although she was curious to see how her own daughter, Yoon Seo-ah, was doing on the exam, she was now in the position of her exam proctor.
She had to wait like this in case of an accident.
“So you adapt faster than you think. I thought she would struggle a little more.”
“But aren’t they the ones who represent Korea? Then, won’t you trust us and leave it to us?”
“Under. The old man corrected is already thinking of retiring. Do you know how much more work I have to do when you retire?”
“Cluck. What can I do? The passage of time is unavoidable.”
“Shut up. “How can you kill villains by destroying their heads?”
He’s been flying around recently and smashing villains’ heads, so he’s already saying he’s retiring.
Thanks to his magical power, Tae-soo Choi had to remain active longer than he is now as he ages more slowly than ordinary people.
Seungah Yoon muttered that that day would never come.
“So what do you think?”
“If you’re going to talk about retirement, be quiet. “Even now, I’m practicing Taoism in the mountains, but I’m not doing much.”
“Cluck. “No, it’s Cadet Kim Si-woo.”
“Si. Siu? Why Siwoo.”
As soon as she heard Kim Si-woo’s name, Yoon Seung-ah shouted in embarrassment.
I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t been able to see him recently due to work, but he appeared in my dream last night.
How can you say that because of that, you stood up and grabbed his hand without realizing it?
“Hmm.?”
Choi Tae-soo looked at Yoon Seung-ah’s reaction strangely for a moment, but he seemed to think it was nothing special and opened his mouth again.
“Do you think you can take our place?”
“What. What is it? Was it something like that?”
“?”
“Hmm. Well, if I keep growing like that, it will be possible. They’re all more manly than the other guys.”
Choi Tae-soo looked at Yoon Seung-ah’s somewhat girlish reaction with a shocked face.
“Hmm? “You sure you don’t have feelings for a guy who is as old as your son?”
“What. What crazy talk! It’s all just because it suits Seo-ah… “
“Hmm? What does that mean? Kim Si-woo is our Hye-ji’s partner.”
“Ha? Are we going to marry Seo-ah?”
“Haha. “I was going to see my Hyeji get married, but what are you talking about?”
The moment the two people glared at each other and an unusual air current began to flow, a notification sound was heard on the screen.
“Tsk. If you don’t have the skills, you give up quickly. Choi A-rin, why doesn’t the thing this old lady made work?”
“Didn’t you say earlier that you don’t have patience?”
“Oh, I don’t know! Annoying!”
*
I opened my eyes to the sound of a pillar of light rising from afar.
‘Again.’
As time passed, the number of dropouts seemed to increase.
He probably went deeper to find the monster, but gave up because he didn’t have the magic power to return.
I don’t know if it was because I was constantly exposed to high-density magical energy, but my body felt very heavy and tired.
Even though I closed my eyes for a moment, I felt like I had not recovered at all.
Rather, it seemed like I was only getting more tired.
‘Is it because magical power cannot be used while sleeping?’
How many people can sleep while being weighed down by something? I definitely slept, but I was even more tired.
I looked around and couldn’t find anything to eat or drink.
The battle continued without being able to eat or drink, and it certainly seemed impossible to last all day.
There weren’t as many monsters as I thought, so I only collected 12 coins.
Since I couldn’t know how much other people had collected, I couldn’t tell if this was a lot or a small amount.
‘I feel like I want to collect more.’
Now I even had to consider returning to the base camp.
There is nothing more unfair than having fun hunting and not being able to return because your magic power is gone.
‘But it’s not bad.’
I don’t know if it was because it was a special environment, but I was able to do training that couldn’t be done in other places.
Well, when are you going to move in such a high-density magic attribute environment?
Besides, if you fight in the opponent’s own territory, it’ll probably feel like this.
“Is it dangerous when you think about the distance?”
I couldn’t leave after hunting like everyone else, so I started heading towards the base camp again.
I encountered an insect-type monster in the middle, dealt with it, and was able to finish the test with 13 coins.
…
When I left the exam room, I felt like I was alive.
Should I say it’s too light because the thing weighing down my body has disappeared?
With a light body, I headed to the place where the results were written.
“Oh.”
Contrary to what I was worried about, my name is higher than I expected.
Sister Jia and instructor Kim Si-young were above me, and the rest were strangers.
‘Where is that bastard?’
Na Daenam, while I was checking the list to find that guy’s name, I was able to see that his name was written under my name.
He had 12 coins, and meeting the monster at the end was a blessing.
“… “
They say that even tigers will come if they say so, and before I knew it, Na Daenam came next to me, checked his name, and shouted as if he couldn’t admit it.
“Ha. What is this! Did you use some trick? “I’m a cadet?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Boo. I bet he stole the coin! Otherwise, this doesn’t make sense!”
“Do you think that’s possible? It’s not like I’m ignoring the association… “
“Do not lie! “What kind of fraud did you commit?!”
He said he can tolerate it well, but it seems he can’t tolerate his name being placed under mine.
As the guy made a fuss, Taesu Choi, who had been watching from afar, came towards us.
“Choi. Choi Tae-soo! I think my test results are wrong! A cadet like this… “
“Are you suspicious of the association now?”
“Well. It’s not that.”
“It doesn’t matter. “I have no choice but to accept it anyway.”
The old man looked at my face and smiled.
“Next is the tournament.”
That’s how my opponent became Na Daenam.
