Chapter 204 – Hunter Qualification Test (1)
“One.”
“I was wrong… !”
“Two.”
“Brother!”
Around the time I finished cleaning my room and was instilling etiquette in the guys who couldn’t fix the habit of bullying in the neighborhood.
[From now on, the first written test of the Hunter Qualification Test begins.]
[Applicants are requested to go to the test center guided by their smartphone and follow the proctor’s instructions.]
[If you do not enter the test center within the specified time, you will be disqualified.]
[Once again…]
An announcement announcing the start of the exam is played.
The first test is the written test.
Attacking dungeons, dealing with villains, when a terrorist situation occurs, etc.
It is necessary to describe the hunter’s course of action in various given situations.
“Weather.”
“Weather!”
As if they had waited, the three thugs quickly surged up like springs.
Tsuttuk… , Weaklings.
It threatens the guys who are out of breath as if they will die after only about 300 push-ups.
“I don’t know when it will be, but until the day I leave, I will live only breathing.”
“Yes, brother!”
It won’t last very long.
Judging from your physical condition, it looks like you’re likely to lose out on the second test no matter what the assignment is.
Don’t know again
It might be 8% of the written exam, which has a passing rate of 92% in all previous qualification exams.
Gying-
Smartphone ringing in your pocket.
As shown on the broadcast, it seems that a message about the exam center came.
“6-2…”
I put the pen I brought in beforehand into my pocket and take the elevator to the 6th floor.
Arrived at the 6-2 test site in the middle of a crowd of people.
As soon as you step inside, your smartphone becomes inoperable.
To prevent cheating, the blocking system installed around the smartphone turned off the power.
“Please check the admission ticket written on each desk and take a seat.”
The test number is written in the upper right corner of the desk.
My seat… , The last row in the first column on the left.
By the time all candidates have found their seats and sat down.
A man with a blunt face and a stocky physique steps inside and closes the door.
Koo!
“Nice to meet you, students. I am Yoon Jeong-cheol, the supervisor of this exam.”
Judging by the energy flowing from his body, he must be at the top of B-class.
“I will inform you of the precautions before the test begins.”
A dry voice clarifies the precautions written on the paper in my hand.
Well, these are very ordinary things.
These are the things you shouldn’t do when taking an exam, aren’t they obvious?
If there’s only one thing that’s different.
“It’s okay to cheat.”
That kerning is allowed.
Of course, I’m not saying to do it outright.
“If you have the confidence to completely fool my eyes.”
This is a step of confidence.
Those who are assigned as supervisors of the written exam are all active hunters.
Among them, it consists of talents of B grade or higher.
In other words, it means that the moment you try cheating with the skill of an aspiring hunter, you are no different from being eliminated.
“Then let’s begin the exam.”
From front to back, test papers are passed over.
A total of 50 questions.
You must solve all subjective or descriptive questions within 120 minutes.
Calmly read the questions and write your answers.
The problem itself isn’t that difficult if you just study.
All the questions on the exam paper come from just one book.
The name of the book is ‘Hunter Code of Conduct’.
The author is the Hunter Association.
Doesn’t it make you feel good just by listening to this?
Yes.
The reason why the first test of the Hunter Qualification Test was fixed as a written test was to sell that book.
Since all problems come from that book, aspiring hunters have no choice but to buy and read it.
Even worse, a revised edition comes out every year or every two years.
I made it so that I had to buy it again by subtracting or adding large and small parts.
The amount of money you make here is staggering.
“Hmm.”
Anyway.
The problem itself is structured so that you can answer it without clogging after reading the book a few times.
Of course, some problems require digging a little deeper, but it doesn’t matter if I’m wrong.
This is because the percentage of passing the written test is extremely small for the overall grade.
After 10 minutes of careful checking to make sure I didn’t overwrite the answer, I lay down on my desk and wait for the time to pass.
It would be nice if I could go out first, but it’s just a pity that I can’t because of the rules.
Beep beep beep! Beep beep!
A loud beep alerts you that time is up.
“I will go through the test papers.”
From back to front, pass the test paper with the answers written on it.
After receiving all the test papers from each row, the supervisor immediately inserts them into a reader placed in one corner.
What number was that Haetae?
Anyway, if you put the test paper there, you can check the score of the test taker right away.
[Announce the results.]
The result table is listed on the white wall with a soft mechanical sound.
“Whew…”
My score on the result sheet is 90 points.
Because the passing cutoff is 80 points… , Passed without incident.
“The passers-by can go straight to their lodgings and take a rest. The unqualified… , Please go straight to the dorm, pack up, and go through the check-out procedures.”
Judging from the result table, it seems that there were no unqualified students in this test center.
But other places will be different.
As soon as the supervisor opens the door and goes out, the blocked noise comes from outside.
“Fuck, this is nonsense!”
“Ha, give me another chance! Please!”
“On the topic of taking a written test to sell fucking books… !”
The screams of those who fell by mistake or because they didn’t read the book carefully are shaking.
Listening to the sound, I head to the 9th floor accommodation, but my anxiety suddenly soars.
I hope none of our kids made a mistake and fell off… ?
Immediately turn on the power of the smartphone and write a message in the group chat room.
[Me: Did everyone pass the test?]
The number written on the back quickly disappears, and replies pour in.
[Shin Yoo-jung: We’re not going to be two heads, let’s get away from here?]
[Im Na-eun: Hehe… , Worried Do-jin is cute… I passed, don’t worry!]
[Seon Seo-yeon: (Da-bong)]
[Helena: Is there a written test that gets 100 points for Elena, too? Boom bap bap!]
“Whew…”
I guess I was worried for nothing.
I read the remaining messages with a more relaxed feeling.
[Shin Yu-jeong: Oh~ Elena 100 points? It’s me.]
[Lim Na-eun: Me too! But isn’t it strange that this doesn’t get 100 points… ?]
[Seon Seo-yeon: (Da-bong)]
[Helena: How many points does Dojin have?]
“…”
[Kim Do-jin: 90…]
[Shin Yujeong: ?]
[Im Na-eun: ?]
[Seoyeon Son: ?]
[Helena: lol]
It seems like billions of things are collapsing with one last hit of Elena’s ‘ㅋ’.
.

The next morning.
By the time you return to your accommodation after a hearty meal and stare at your smartphone endlessly.
[We will begin the second test now.]
[Applicants are requested to complete personal maintenance within an hour and wait at the accommodation.]
[Once again…]
Strange instructions fell.
I’m not asking you to come to a place to start the exam, but to wait at the dorm, what else?
Simply brushing your teeth and washing your face, lying on the bed and waiting for the time to pass.
Exactly one hour has passed since the previous announcement.
[We will begin the second test now.]
[Applicants are requested to lift the mattress of each bed and attach the badge to their chest.]
“Chi, are you asking for a bed?”
“What are you doing without listening?”
“Ah, yes.”
Gangster 3, who received orders from gangster 1, lifts the mattress of the bed downstairs with all his might.
There is a sign in the shape of a blazing flame in it.
After confirming this, Gangster 2 sneaks up to me.
“Huh, brother?”
“Why.”
“Can I lift the bed above you for a moment? Lol…”
Four people, four beds.
But I drove the three into one bed and I was using two beds.
One of them had to lift one of my beds to get the token.
Well, it’s expensive to give, but it can’t be helped.
Because the test has to start right away.
“Get it quickly.”
“Yep, thank you!”
Around that time, I also got up, lifted the bed I was lying on, and took the certificate.
There is a magic circle drawn on the back, so when I put it on my clothes, it was automatically fixed.
Maybe 5 minutes passed like that.
[From now on, the ‘Mark Scramble’ begins.]
[If you steal the marks of others and secure five marks, you will pass the second test.]
[In a moment, we will move to the test center.]
[Please wait in a comfortable position to prepare for motion sickness caused by space transition.]
At the same time, dark magic power flowed from the surrounding walls.
What the shape of magical power draws is a magic circle that moves living things in space.
It seems that magic crystals were inserted in the form of a thin plate between the walls and a magic circle was drawn there.
[5… , 4… , 3… , 2… , 1.]
Close your eyes in time.
“Uh, uh… !”
“Ahh!”
Listening to the loud noises of gangsters who are experiencing space transfer for the first time, let yourself feel like you are floating.
Maybe 3 seconds passed.
It conveys cheerfulness that cannot be felt in a stuffy room and the soft feeling of the floor standing on one’s feet.
When I slowly opened my eyes, what I saw was a dense and vast forest that looked like it would be a hardship to find a person, not to mention stealing the mark.
A vivid thread disturbs the eyes in the most beautiful scenery of Mother Nature.
Threads of magical power shining in different colors.
It is a trace
Traces that indicate the location of those who continuously radiate magical power.
It means that if you wind those threads one by one and follow them, you will encounter anyone.
Watching the messy threads in front of you, you move your fingers busily.
“Uh. Am. Thing. Second. Go. Cast. Peel. Yo. This…”
Dr. Chuck Chuck, give me strength!
