Chapter 307 – Merry-Go-Round (1)
In a state where each other’s feelings are heightened in different directions and forms.
Beep!
The sound announcing the start of the match resonates loudly.
Shin Yu-jeong, who came up to this point by rushing at the same time as the start and pressuring the opponent to win, turned to look at the opponent’s movements first with her shield erected for the first time.
‘Because I’m not a clumsy opponent.’
The opponent is Son Seo-yeon, no one else.
Watching her as part of her team makes her realize.
Her talent and skills are clearly one step above the rest of the team.
‘Of course, not as much as our Do-jin.’
She is sure
She said that without this regular named Kim Do-jin, she would have remained one of the greatest talents of Korea University.
I am extremely angry, but I cannot guarantee victory.
No, in fact, the probability must converge infinitely to 0.
So are you going to give up?
‘You’re welcome.’
You just change what you want.
Even if you lose, don’t lose heartlessly.
Even if I fall down, I can eat at least one for sure and fall down.
‘Good.’
She put more strength into her right hand holding the shield and calmly organizes her thoughts.
‘At first, he told me to exchange attacks lightly in a calm state.’
Throughout her teaching herself, Kim Do-jin moves forward, repeating her words that she always lived in her mouth.
Son Seo-yeon, who walks out just in time as if responding to me.
The two men who met in the center of the vast arena swung their swords without saying who was first.
Kaaang!
Sparks fly from the sharpened steel sword for sparring.
Dojin Kim said.
‘He told me to observe the other person carefully.’
She lightly exchanges karate and carefully observes the opponent’s hand gestures, foot movements, and facial expressions.
There is the opponent’s next move, and there are several moves behind.
Shin Yoo-jeong, who was poking here and there with a sword that didn’t have much power, checking the opponent’s reaction.
‘… What the hell are you looking for?’
He frowned slightly.
The expression is expressionless, and the hand gestures and foot gestures are small, so there is nothing to notice, but what do you see?
However, Kim Do-jin anticipated this and left the following words.
-Don’t get angry if you can’t see it, but keep looking.
Not even sure if it would make a difference, but she kept looking.
Because that’s what Kim Dojin said.
I wouldn’t know if it was in the past, but doesn’t he have the ability and trust that I can’t help but trust.
Shin Yoo-jeong, who believes in him and calmly continues the attack.
But that time didn’t last very long.
Shuak!
It was because Son Seo-yeon, who calmly received my attack, began to speed up.
“Chit… !”
The trajectory drawn in the air gradually increases.
Her eyes are dizzy as she tries to follow the lines one by one.
What did the child say at this time?
‘No matter how flashy it is, there is only one line that directly touches me!’
Although, of course, it is very difficult to find the line.
Kaang!
‘Found… !’
She eventually managed to find and stop it.
Eyebrows naturally frowned at the shock flowing through the shield.
‘How many times did you increase your muscle strength with that slender body?’
Admiration ensues.
Even after that, the moment of choice continued.
An endless trajectory.
Among them, choose only the real thing and destroy it, and destroy it again.
Kaaang!
Kaang!
The more she did, the more her posture hardened.
Solid defense.
In other words, she can’t even find a chance to attack and is being beaten.
If it’s a dungeon raid, other dealers will sort it out in between, but for now it’s a tournament.
You must take charge of both attack and defense.
‘Shit… , When should I stretch out my sword?’
That’s why I was impatient.
I couldn’t even figure out when, in which direction, and how to stab the sword.
“Kuh… !”
A moan escaped from his mouth.
The amount of shock that flowed through the shield accumulated, and now my hands and wrists are sore and throbbing.
Right then.
Throbbing!
Her traits belatedly awakened and started to ignite her.
At the time of her rebirth as an Awakener, Shin Yoo-jung was given the name of her characteristic, ‘Endless Vitality’.
It possesses the ability to increase her resilience in proportion to the pain, shock, and wounds accumulated in her body.
The ability of such a characteristic to finally wake up to the shock built up in her hands and wrists.
“Whoa… !”
The level of breathing, which had been quickened for a moment, gradually lowered.
Around the time the depth of her shaking heart became shallow.
“Urg… !”
Shin Yoo-jung, who grieves at this, pushes her shield up with all her might before the sword even touches it.
Tuong!
A distinctly different shock sound from before.
At the same time, Son Seo-yeon’s sword was pushed away and floated in the air.
Two eyes that grow little by little with incredible anti-elasticity.
‘What happened… ?’
She saw
The bluish magic enveloping her shield.
It is one of the known skills that a tanker must master.
‘Bash… !’
Bash.
A skill that coats the shield with magic power to further increase its hardness and strikes the opponent.
The resulting rebound force pushed her sword a long way.
‘Amazing.’
She admired
Bash is an essential skill for tankers, but learning it is more difficult than you think.
You have to divide the mana equally and put it on the shield, and through this, you have to learn the timing with your body to attack and bounce the weapon instead of hitting the opponent.
She said, ‘I heard that a B-class hunter can handle it freely…’
It’s learning. Anything is possible if you have a certain level of talent.
However, it is another matter to use it in the right place in addition to overlaying the mana that is so vivid that it can be seen.
“Aww!”
Shin Yoo-jung runs.
Currently, Son Seo-yeon’s sword and arm are thrown out at the same time, and her guard is loosened.
If you miss this timing, you will have nothing to say even if you insult Kim Do-jin!
Before she returns to her disheveled posture, Shin Yoo-jung, who has dug into her, throws out her sword.
Parse!
She was sure
‘This works!’
Even she couldn’t help it with this one move.
She obviously thought so.
[Tournament ends.]
Why.
[The winner is Son Seo-yeon, an aspiring student.]
Will her sword, which bounced off, touch my neck?
“…”
It wasn’t something she couldn’t see.
She even read the entire trajectory of the sword approaching her neck.
She raised her shield and tried to stop it, but she couldn’t stop it.
‘The sword… , The sword came bent.’
It was literally.
The sword, which started from afar, rushed in a straight line, but soon broke her trajectory at will in front of my shield and reached her neck, making even the last line of deterrence she lifted useless.
‘Fuck…’
Shin Yoo-jeong droops her hands holding the sword and shield.
‘It’s fucking strong.’
Angry
But again, it doesn’t feel bad.
I wanted to give you a shot, but it’s a pity that I couldn’t, but what can I do?
I can only promise the following.
Shin Yoo-jung smiled bitterly at her and held out her hand toward her.
“It was a good fight.”
Son Seo-yeon stared blankly at the hand she reached out to me, then reached out and held her hand in the same way, and she responded with a pleasant smile.
“You were really great too.”
“I couldn’t even eat one, but it’s amazing.”
“Oh, no. I don’t mean that…”
Let’s stare with a straight face. Sohn Seo-yeon panics.
Shin Yoo-jung, who saw her, smiled at her and comforted her.
“It’s a joke, a joke.”
“Ah, yes… , Joke.”
She is visibly relieved.
Shin Yoo-jung asked again to arouse her mood.
“What is the last sword you showed me? Is that Son Si-woo Hunter swordsmanship?”
“Huh… , That’s right.”
“I was very twisted… , What is the swordsmanship name?”
“That, that.”
Son Seo-yeon suddenly turns red and starts stuttering her words.
She only asked for the name of the swordsmanship, so why would she do that?
While she was puzzled.
“Ship, snake catcher swordsmanship…”
“Ah.”
I’m just ashamed
Shin Yoo-jung understood her at once.
* * *
A rather one-sided fight.
But the last one was different.
She erupted in cheers as Yoojung used her bash, which she had hidden until now, to make her perfect gap.
“Hey! Have a bash over there?!”
“Timing is exhausted!”
When Sohn Seo-yeon used her father’s swordsmanship and struck it perfectly, giving her victory.
“…”
“…”
No one could open their mouths.
Because it was so great and bold.
When everyone was shutting their mouths and swallowing saliva, only one female scout said this.
“… I want to have Son Si-woo’s gene.”
Even though he said it in a way that he was envious of something, he was secretly vulgar and hot-tempered.
I was thinking of giving it away if it was pretty.
“Ah.”
It couldn’t be.
Not my taste.
Anyways, this is over.
“… Pretty good.”
He said he learned my swordsmanship by stealing it over his shoulder, so I never thought he would have learned the snakestalking swordsmanship.
“That is very difficult.”
Above all, it is a swordsmanship that requires a lot of wrist strength.
I have to change the sword path several times in the middle of the sword’s progress.
I still haven’t finished my homework, but this time is commendable.
Among the many, many swordsmanships, I also thought of snake catching swordsmanship.
Also, he boldly broke the opponent’s pulse with an attack instead of defense and won the victory.
“… Although it was a bit chilly.”
Of course, the process was terrifying.
If that was a real battle, it would have been countering without blocking the knife flying at him.
Who did that young guy look like to make such a bold move?
“It’s clear that she resembles my mother.”
It has to be.

After the tournament ends and all the exams are over, it is time to announce the successful candidates.
Results came out as expected.
1. Seoyeon Son (Class B)
Only Seoyeon passed with B class, and all the others were in the top ranks, but she passed with C class.
Naeun and Elena too.
She was happy that she had passed with high grades, but only one person.
“Hey… , Straighten up your face.”
“Oh, I don’t know.”
Only Shin Yoo-jung was gagging with her arms crossed.
What… , The reason is not obvious.
“I’m in second place… , Seeing, why am I in C grade?”
I passed with 2nd place, but I was assigned to C grade.
Considering the ranking, it was regrettable, but in fact, it was a sober evaluation.
Even though Yu-jeong is a bit stronger than her peers, it’s still a bit too much for her to be a B-class.
Perhaps if I had been the judge, I would have given the same result.
Of course, I can’t bring myself to say this.
“Hey, it’s okay. If you’re second in class C, it’s a class C that’s almost like a class B, right? Then, if you clear some dungeons and accumulate points, you can get promoted right away.”
What can I do
Rather than hitting you with facts, you should calm down.
The guy who took some comfort in my words.
Then he looks up at me and asks.
“In the end, the wish was made by Seoyeon sunbaenim.”
“Yes… I guess?”
Because it was a promise to grant the wish of the person with the best grades.
“Whoa…”
He let out a deep sigh and shook his head.
I don’t know what to worry about.
In the first place, Seoyeon’s wish must be so great.
Just in time, she asked Seo-yeon right away because she was by her side.
“Senior Seoyeon, so how are you going to write your wish?”
“Ah… , Wish.”
As if she had thought of something, Seoyeon immediately opened her mouth.
“Then uh… , Wanna go to an amusement park with me… ?”
… Uh?
