Chapter 205 – Hunter Qualification Test (2)
The test site built for the Hunter Qualification Test has been continuously expanded since its construction.
This forest with huge trees is also a test site that was created by drilling another underground level last year.
The name is ‘artificial forest’.
From one to ten, these are works created by master craftsmen that Korea is proud of.
When asked why he came up with such a great forest, he replied:
‘Because the jungle is the arena of the fiercest competition for survival!’
Like the heat of a craftsman who loves all kinds of hot things, a very fierce competition was taking place here.
A fierce fight between test takers to pass the exam.
And there were people watching this fierce spectacle with interest.
“Oh… , What’s that friend’s name? Number 428.”
“No. 428… , This is Shin Yoo-jung. A sophomore at a Korean university.”
“Hey, you’re a sophomore, but your skills are like that? It feels good!”
Numerous CCTVs are installed in the trees of the artificial forest.
The main reason was the observation of large guild scouts along with the supervisors’ monitoring purpose in preparation for unexpected accidents.
“And… , Would you believe me if I said that was an active hunter, not an aspiring hunter?”
“That friend! What is that friend’s name?”
On the monitor they were enthusiastic about, the face of Son Seo-yeon, who was dealing with three test takers with bobbed hair, was greatly enlarged.
The association staff who confirmed this made a puzzled expression.
“… This is Son Seo-yeon.”
“Son Seo-yeon? Her name is as pretty as her face. The skills are great too. If that’s enough, it won’t be inferior to our guild sign in the future… !”
“I am Son Si-woo Hunter’s daughter.”
“…”
The interior becomes quiet as if cold water had been poured on it.
From the moment she heard the name Son Si-woo Hunter’s daughter, the name Son Seo-yeon was erased from the hearts of all scouts.
That would be the case, because it is rare to find a person bold enough to reach out to Naemi, the daughter of Son Si-woo, a national hunter, in Korea.
“Then, who is that over there?”
Another scout pointed to the monitor hanging on the right wall.
Inside was a man who was collecting the fifth mark while knocking out test takers with his outstanding martial arts skills.
“That friend… , No. 521 Han Chul-kun. His parents run a very large martial arts studio in Busan, so he is a talented person who has mastered various martial arts since he was young.”
“You definitely have a different sense.”
At that time, positive evaluations from scouts were continuing.
“Certainly, at that level, it would be okay to put it at the top of the recruiting list… ?!”
Pew!
Hancheol’s whole body was scorched black by the fireball that flew in from nowhere.
While the scouts stare at the sudden spectacle, a man walks leisurely outside the CCTV and removes the signs attached to Han-cheol’s chest and attaches them to his chest.
And the scouts who saw this breathed in vain.
“Ouch… ! What is that bastard?”
“How many marks do you have on your chest!”
His handsome face, his perfectly proportioned body, and the magic he sent.
Nothing caught their eyes.
All they are looking at is the mark attached to his chest.
“One two three four… , Uh, I’d guess 30?”
“Crazy… , If you passed, you will come out quickly, what are you doing if you don’t come out?”
The condition to pass the second test is to collect five tokens.
However, the number of marks on the man’s chest has already exceeded thirty.
In other words, it means that it remains there even though it can be processed at any time.
A scout swallowed his silence and parted his lips.
“… It’s probably to reduce competition.”
“Ha?”
“The highest number of people ever gathered for this qualification test.”
The number of awakeners who awaken each year is gradually but steadily increasing.
As much as that, the number of aspirants who dream of becoming a hunter is also increasing.
As if to prove it, in the first quarter of this year, the highest number of people took the qualification exam.
There are as many as 30,000 of them.
The six test sites established around the Hunter Association receive only the maximum number of people that can be accommodated, and the rest is a cut-off number.
Thanks to this, the Hunter Association is already looking for a site to build a new test site.
About 3,000 of them failed in the first test, the written test.
The number of people left is roughly 27,000.
That’s why the Association took out a test called the Mark Scramble to drastically reduce the number of people.
The fact that you have to collect five tokens to pass means that the number of people remaining after the test is over is only one-fifth of the original number.
In fact, even after doing that, the number of people remaining is not small.
One-fifth of 27,000 is 5,400.
Considering that the number of hunters who pass each quarter is around 100, even that number is far too large.
“I will take care of the competitor in advance, but with this… ?”
“It’s efficient. It is handled during the exam, so no one can interfere.”
“… It’s only possible if your skills are backed up.”
All the scouts’ eyes began to follow the man.
“So what’s that friend’s name? It seems strangely familiar somehow… , Are you a son of a large guild?”
“No, no. That friend’s name is Kim Dojin. That’s why, the aspiring hunter who has been making a lot of noise on social media recently.”
“Ah! That friend is that friend?”
“Oh my god… , I just thought the rumors were inflated.”
They admired
Of course, there are a lot of toxic lies mixed in among the things that are hotly popular on social media.
Hunter is among them.
Excellent skills, good looks, etc.
SNS is a place where everything can be obtained by chance with a well-taken photo or video.
It was also in that context that large guild scouts did not send him passionate courtship.
However, I would never have thought that the promising star on social media would have been a balloon that shrunk several times more than the real one.
When everyone is watching him with a confused look on his first experience.
“Uh, uh… ?”
More than twenty people gathered around him.
The target was the thirty-four marks affixed proudly to his chest.
With that number, even if 20 people teamed up and rushed at it, it would be quite tasty.
However, what surprised them was not the 20 people rushing in unison.
“What are you doing now?”
“The land around is shaking… !”
What they are paying attention to is Kim Do -jin.
It was a ridiculous phenomenon that was happening around him.
The land covered with all kinds of vegetation splits with a sound and sound.
Soon it appeared…
“You, vine?”
It was a vine.
It is also very huge.
* * *
“Oops!”
Many.
“Nod huge… !”
There are too many.
I knew it was a test with the most candidates in history, but I didn’t know so much.
“The day went on the market. .”
Another person.
Take off the signs of the fallen participant’s chest and attach it to my chest.
“Now thirty…”
Five of the passing conditions went over as soon as they started.
If you follow the traces of the magic attribute that other candidates left behind, it was not to find people.
Originally, I tried to finish it right there. I changed my heart.
“There may be no chance like today… ?”
To take the sign.
It inevitably causes the conversation between the body and the body.
The guys who were in desperate passing were gathered, but the only way to take the sign is to hit it.
In other words, this is the best time for violence to be justified and eliminating competitors.
From then on, hunting began.
Of course, not all the visible guys were hunted.
“Hey.”
“Yes, yes… ?”
“How many signs are you?”
“There are two…”
“Now, here are three.”
“Eh.”
At first glance, Mojiri, who seemed impossible to pass, deliberately passed the sign.
Why?
These are the guys who can be a threat to me when there are tens of units.
“You pass.”
“… ?”
The standard is our team members.
If you are a guy that your team can easily hunt, pass it.
“Hmm… , You are close to you. “
“Keck!”
Even with luck, the ability to harm one of our team members was trembled.
As a result, more people passed than they were knocked down.
“Ugh, there are thirty dogs left.”
The signs hanging on the chest are now heavy.
I have to find and pass the rice quickly and pass it.
“Achoo-!”
In the meantime, I met with a strange sound.
Watching the fight behind the tree and fighting, the elongated limbs move freely to intercept the opponent.
“It’s okay… ?”
He is a great guy.
If you see the format in each of the punching and kicking, you have learned something since childhood.
Even if he entered Korean university, he seems to have been prominent.
Then what is it?
“Sorry.”
「Fire Ball.」
As the gnome removed his mark from the chest of a defeated opponent, he blew his magic.
A huge fireball thrown in the middle of a spear quickly and intensely passes through the guy’s entire body.
“Cheuk… !?”
If he was an ordinary test taker, he would not have been enough even if he rolled his eyes and passed out.
Ignoring the shock of burning his whole body, he kept his eyes on me.
Aye, this makes me even more sorry.
But that’s for a while.
The guy who couldn’t withstand the shock collapses with his whole body charred.
“You have a lot of toughness…”
A guy who can see the qualities of a common ditang.
The tanned skin is only slightly tanned, but the inside is fine.
If you go straight to the infirmary and get treated, there won’t be a trace left.
“You will pass the next exam, hey.”
So, please give our children some concessions for this test.
Remove all four marks, put them on your chest, and set out again.
“Hmm, where are we going this time?”
The moment I was wondering which way to go to face a strong guy.
People start appearing one by one from behind the huge tree.
Front, back and side all.
“Oh, it’s coming out now.”
I knew right away that a group of people were following me.
I’ve been giving it a chance whenever it comes out, but now I think I thought it was worth giving it a try.
“One two three four… , Twenty.”
It seems that the instigator who brought people together miscalculated.
“It shouldn’t be around twenty…”
To really immerse myself, I should have gathered about 5 sacks of 20 people.
“Listen up everyone! There are over 30 marks on that baby’s chest alone! If you take that away, your chances of passing will increase!”
“Oh oh!”
“Let’s attack all at once!”
“Let’s go!”
Humans live in groups.
Because many things that cannot be done alone can be done when many people come together.
Also, the warmth shared between people makes us embrace courage instead of fear.
That’s why I have sex with so many women, um.
There are so many things in this world that are too scary to live alone.
“Let’s see…”
Depending on the situation and the place where magic is used, the effect is different even if the same magic power is used.
For example, in a forest with dense vegetation like here, the concentration of magical power related to the land is that much higher.
Then…
Squeeze out the surrounding magic to awaken those sleeping deep in the ground.
It stimulates growth by infusing magical energy into small, feeble things that are easily torn by hand.
Kugu Palace… !
Damn!
Damn it!
The enlarged volume tears the ground apart and reveals itself to the world.
“Ugh, aaaaagh!”
“What’s this!”
The vines that have grown to the extent that they can wrap around a human body at once wriggling, creating fear.
「Vine Whip.」
Huge vines bend like whips and take control of the surroundings.
Those who were caught by vines and hung upside down in the air, those who fell out after being beaten by whips, and even those who had their vines pierced in bad places.
“Uh, um.”
Let’s not take his mark.
