Chapter 105 – 105 Group Assessment (5)
*
The instructors who watched Yoon Seo-ah defeating the Yeti with her overwhelming skills burst into exclamations.
“Certainly, his combat sense is exceptional.”
It was one of the monsters that appeared in the snowfield, with white fur all over and standing on two legs like a humanoid.
She only picks up ranks, but if she was an ordinary academy cadet with a C rank level, she would struggle, but Seoah Yoon was different.
“Maybe it’s because there’s a buffer, so the power is extraordinary.”
“It is indeed growing to the point where it can be mentioned as the next S rank. I’ve been watching it, but I’ve made up for a lot of the parts that have been pointed out as problems.”
“My stamina is incomparable to what it was before, and my movements have become nimble. Both melee and ranged combat look impeccable.”
The Yeti itself was one of the toughest monsters to deal with using freezing magic.
She had high resistance to cold because she lived in the snowfields, and her physical defense was high because of her thick leather.
Because of her high cold resistance, Yoon Seo-ah’s ice attack was just a physical attack, minus the cold power.
“It was also impressive to see her attack the other way once she realized it didn’t work,” She says. She might be surprised when several of them attack at the same time, but she stays calm until the end.”
Several yeti, whose attacks did not work well, rushed at Yun Seo-ah’s party at once, but Yun Seo-ah did not lose her composure.
At the same time as protecting her own party members, exclamation came out to complete the magic while avoiding the yeti’s throwing attacks.
Unlike attacks through unique abilities, magic required a high degree of concentration.
Although magic seemed convenient, there were many requirements in order to use one magic.
Arranging the magical power in an appropriate shape, flowing the magical power in the appropriate amount required for the magician, and finally calculating the coordinates was necessary.
Normally, in order to use powerful magic, other party members needed to delay or protect time, but Yoon Seo-ah showed herself using her own magic while protecting herself through her own ability.
“It would be difficult to use fire in such an environment, but it is definitely different. Blocks Yeti’s movements through ice and attacks through flame-type magic. There was nothing to point out.”
“Cadet Jeong Soo-ah seems to have gotten better than last time. The power of the buff seems to have increased.”
Everyone praised Yoon Seo-ah, but in the next evaluation part, everyone made a worried expression.
“In terms of cooperative points…”
“I think it’s hard to give it a good score. Yun Seo-ah, she thinks that the cadet’s fighting ability and judgment, everything is perfect, but the cooperation is lacking.”
“Still, I think she went into battle with all party members in mind. She even protected the other cadets from getting hurt.”
“I think similarly. To be honest, with the exception of cadet Jeong Su-ah, they didn’t seem to have any will to fight.”
“That’s true, but I don’t think it’s a good match. I admit that Cadet Yoon Seo-ah is excellent, but you can’t do everything alone. I think I had to let the other two do their part.”
In all other evaluation items, it was possible to give the highest score, but the cooperation score seemed difficult to give the highest score.
Instructors who defended Yoon Seo-ah easily admitted that part.
“But if you only look at the clear time, this party must be the overwhelming first place.”
“Well, that is an undeniable fact, but it seems inevitable in terms of cooperation. The cooperation score seems to be the highest in a party with Cadet Lee Da-eun.”
“If you are cadet Lee Da-eun, are you referring to the party where cadet Kim Si-woo was at?”
S ranker Kim Tae-hwan’s cadets with anti-horse ability and some instructors were in awe of Kim Si-woo’s growth speed.
It wasn’t even a few months since he woke up, but he was growing at a terrifying pace.
It was completely different from his past appearance, to the extent that it was said that people changed as his appearance changed.
The instructors all said that it was an absurd growth rate when they saw Kim Si-woo, who had changed because they had experience as a hunter for a long time.
“I wouldn’t have had time to gain experience, but the ability to judge the situation, the fighting style, everything was perfect.”
It was impressive to see Kim Si-woo respond right away with a calm attitude to any situation.
He could tell how much effort was put into matching each other when he saw each of them properly performing their roles.
“He was determined and responsive. He is one of the cadets with a lot to look forward to.”
“Well, cadet Kim Si-woo stood out the most, but the other cadets also seem to be growing fast.”
“There are definitely a lot of talented people in Class A.”

He loaded the load in an instant, packed the necessary items and entered the dungeon.
After defeating the first golem that appeared before him, a fork in the road appeared.
In front of this, I unconditionally chose from the left, but time was delayed because I went to a dead end.
It has a complex structure like a maze, so it was difficult to understand all the internal structures once completed.
In order to beat Seo-ah, it was good to reduce such mistakes.
“Dae-eun, where do you think you’d like to go?”
“Uh.. Huh? Me? Did you ask me just now?”
After defeating the golem, I felt that Da-eun’s reaction had changed a little.
Even when I spoke to him normally like before, he reacted with such a surprise.
Da-eun’s inner thoughts seem complicated, but now that Min-ji and Kang Joo-won are together, it seemed better to focus on the evaluation.
In this evaluation, more than just grades were at stake.
I was thinking of focusing on the evaluation now so that I wouldn’t miss the scenario quest, the bet with Seo-ah, and the two rabbits while trying to catch them.
In the previous round, they chose the left side as predetermined so that they would not fight each other, but since it was revealed that there was a mistake, it was necessary to make a different choice.
In fact, if you repeat the load, you can memorize all of the internal structure of the artificial dungeon, but I didn’t want to appear arbitrary, no matter how correct it was.
“Dae-eun, don’t you have the best ability to detect magic power? If you feel something, please tell me.”
“So… Ok.”
Da-eun put on a worried expression and closed her eyes.
Da-eun opened her eyes with the feeling of reading the power spreading all over the place as if something unknown.
“I can feel the flow of magic that I felt at the entrance in the middle.”
“Entrance?”
To clear the dungeon we entered, we had to find an exit.
Both the entrance and exit are connected to the outside, so there must be similarities.
It seems that Seo-ah felt that too and moved so quickly.
“Dae-eun, do you feel something different?”
“Ah, Minji. Yes, it could be because of my mood..”
When Minji looked at him with a curious expression, she scratched her head as if she was embarrassed.
“Then let’s go in the middle direction.”
“Uh… Is that okay? Before we came in, we decided to go in from the left.”
Since she uses magic, I thought that Da-eun would be more sensitive to magic than me.
As I walked toward the center, Da-eun made a subtle expression.
“It’s just that Da-eun is usually more sensitive to magic than me, so wouldn’t it be right?”
“That…But…”
“And this is what I chose, so you don’t have to be too pressured.”
“Ah.. Ok!”
“Still, isn’t it right to do what we decided in the first place?”
As I was about to walk to the middle, Kang Joo-won said a word.
It’s true that it’s not good to just change the behavioral guidelines that were set before entering.
Changing the guidelines of battle just like this could have led to a major accident.
However, it was not related to combat, and it was something that could be done flexibly.
“I’ll take care of it, then it doesn’t matter?”
“…”
[Lee Da-eun’s favorability has increased. ]
On the outside, he looked apologetic, but when I told him I was going to the center, he seemed genuinely satisfied.
It must have been because he respected himself and at the same time was able to act according to his own judgment.
Even if it didn’t look like that, Da-eun was second.
Being second in the ranks of the Daehan Academy is not something anyone can do, and you must be proud of your own judgment and think highly of your grades.
I could have listened to this much.
“Okay, let’s go fast!”
I knocked down the bats that came out in the middle and listened to Da-eun’s words every time the road forked and went forward.
*
“Is this the internal structure?”
[ Yes, that’s right. ]
Makina’s voice I hadn’t heard in a long time, I saw the internal structure of the artificial dungeon drawn in the corner.
I drew an X at the place where the dead end came out and organized the route.
Since I had chosen all the crossroads, I had already grasped the overall structure.
The route to the exit is divided into several places, so it was difficult to find the shortest route.
“Dae-eun was great.”
As if it wasn’t a lie that she could read the flow of magical power, the path Da-eun chose was close to the shortest one.
“This is where Daeun made a mistake…”
Near the end, Da-eun made a mistake once.
In fact, if you think that you’ve never been wrong before, it’s amazing enough to come out with admiration.
Although Da-eun was depressed, the record came out good.
In the next round, Da-eun took the shortest path except for the wrong part.
“What does Seo-ah do so fast?”
A close loss, even after trying several times to reduce the time, he could not beat Seo-ah.
“…”
I can’t win even though I finished figuring out the internal structure while repeating loading?
This may be a problem with the dungeon itself.
The internal structure was also randomly generated, so the artificial dungeon where Seo-ah entered might have been a shorter route.
‘It’s a guess, but…’
I was silently checking the part where Da-eun made a mistake.
In terms of location on the map, it was the closest route to the exit.
If there was a problem, it was a dead end.
There must have been a gap somewhere on the wall, and the flow of the wind was subtly different.
Perhaps Da-eun made a mistake while feeling the magic through the gap.
“This is… The closest place. Is there a gap through which the wind can pass?”
So, wouldn’t this wall be weaker than the others?
I checked what would happen if I broke it here.
“Time is running out…?”
