Chapter 361 – Friendlies (23)
*
Finally, the face-to-face confrontation with Kim Tae-yeon began.
It’s a pity that I can’t use the blue star blade I usually use, but there’s nothing I can do about it.
Kim Tae-yeon, the opponent, couldn’t use the amplification weapon he normally used, so it could be said that he was in a similar position.
‘I didn’t know he would want to fight with me that much.’
I didn’t know the details of the situation, but I could hear from Min-ah why Kim Tae-yeon came down from the senior position.
I heard that you were disciplined simply because you wanted to fight me, and that the reason you did something wrong was to convince others.
According to Mina, she is a big fan of Taesoo Choi, or no, she is a follower.
The reason why I became a hunter was to be recognized by Choi Tae-soo, but since I mentioned my name at an official event, I guess it was disrespectful to our chief.
‘The look in his eyes is brutal.’
He glared at me before entering the field, but it seems that he intends to fight in earnest by exposing his life without hiding it.
I also felt that if it was not a mere coincidence that he would become a senior, he would be a very difficult opponent.
‘So I also got some information.’
I’m sorry for that guy, but I was able to get his profile from Minah.
Its ability is magic bullets, the ability to create magical bullets with special properties.
Well, I heard that it doesn’t just make bullets, it also has the ability to disguise itself like an invisibility cloak.
So, in terms of position, it can be said that it corresponds to a sniper, but if you are simply good at sniping, you cannot go to the top position.
To be the best among humans, raw meat must, of course, be excellent in all areas.
Although he is a sniper, he said that he is not pushed back even in close combat.
‘Is that the special weapon?’
It looked like a sniper weapon and a gun for close combat.
I heard that it is possible to shoot while running fast because it is on the agile side.
When I get into close combat, I run away and fire continuously with both pistols, which I’ve heard is incredibly tricky.
There is no need to reload, so there are no gaps, just because there is a part where the weapon heats up, did you say that there are some gaps after a continuous fire attack?
This is Kim Tae-yeon’s profile from Min-ah, it seems a bit like cheating to get the other person’s information in this way, but the world of competition is a cold-hearted law.
‘That guy must have been investigating me too.’
Seeing that they dared to shoot me and make me their opponent, I wonder if they would have continued to analyze it.
It’s just a matter of how up-to-date the data is, but it might not mean much to him.
‘His eyes are sharp, but his attitude is calm. Is he a guy who fights a lot more than I thought?’
When I got up to the designated location, the special cams installed around me caught my eye.
It will probably be broadcast live through that. I already had the experience of being exposed to the media once, but I felt a little nervous thinking that it would be broadcast in real time like this.
They say that guys who are very conscious of that kind of thing can’t show their true abilities, but I don’t know if I am too.
“Whoa..”
“Are you nervous?”
Before the confrontation proceeded, the instructor who was doing the last safety check asked me a question.
It’s tension, so I think it’s good to maintain tension regardless of whether the opponent is weak or strong.
“I’d be lying if I said no.”
“Is it. I don’t know if you know the circumstances, but don’t be too discouraged. Because her skill is real.”
Are you talking about Kim Taeyeon’s ranking dropping this time? I will be defeated The instructor who speaks as if it is confirmed.
If the instructor says that, it would be fair to assume that Taeyeon Kim’s skills are real, but I don’t think I’m a cadet who will kneel anywhere.
“Well.”
I left an ambiguous answer to the instructor and entered the field.

‘Kim Si-woo, the only cadet mentioned by Choi Tae-soo.’
Although there were light evaluations of Hunters who were already on active duty, Choi Tae-soo had never mentioned ordinary cadets.
Also, it could be said that Kim Si-woo was the only cadet who was so highly rated.
In the early days, when the association was not as stable as it is now, there were many accidents.
There were deaths every day, and it was common for citizens to be killed by poorly handled gates.
Didn’t he almost lose his life to the monster that came out of the gate?
The feeling of fear, helplessness, and inability to do anything at that time remained in my heart.
And just before her death, Choi Tae-soo, who smashed the ceiling and flew away, seemed like an angel had descended to her.
It may be somewhat different from the image of a normal angel, but the beam of light that came down through the hole in the ceiling made me feel divine.
From then on, she began to look for Choi Tae-soo, admired him, and wanted to be like him.
So, at first she tried to get into Daehan Academy, but she was not accepted.
Vague potential, delayed awakening. The thing that kept her from giving up after going all the way to her bottom was her tenacity toward her goal.
Everyone told her to give up, but she didn’t care and went ahead.
The ability obtained after countless crises, and the second awakening. From that day on, everything about her changed.
Having experienced the bottom, she is never conceited. Because he knows his weakness, he is not vigilant towards the weak.
That made her where she is now, and she wanted to prove her existence to Choi Tae-soo.
‘That man might look like me.’
From the day Choi Tae-soo mentioned Kim Si-woo, she searched everything about him.
He lost his parents in an accident and couldn’t wake up, so his evaluation is the last in his ten thousand years.
He too almost lost his life in a gate mixing accident Awakening, and now he is here.
He came up in a similar life and a similar way, but he was in the top position and his opponent was not.
Nevertheless, he himself was not recognized, but Kim Si-woo was recognized by Choi Tae-soo.
It took a lot of courage to fight against a large monster without running away. In fact, he saved many people, and even though he could die, Kim Si-woo did not back down.
Could that simply be enough to earn Choi Tae-soo’s recognition?
He saved many people himself, even risking his life against the villains.
What is the difference between Kim Si-woo and Kim Si-woo?
What made him admit it?
‘So… I’ll check. And. I will be acknowledged by you.’
Kim Tae-yeon glared at the camera Choi Tae-soo was watching. Perhaps Choi Tae-soo could understand his will.
“Whoa..”
Taking a deep breath, Kim Tae-yeon hid his body with the ability of invisibility and looked around.
Many people simply think of magic bullets as her ability, but she has more abilities needed for her shooting.
“Is it over there?”
As expected, Kim Tae-yeon watches from a distance as Kim Si-woo searches the field around the rooftop area.
In her eyes, Kim Si-woo was clearly visible, as if he was right in front of her nose.
With her brilliant eyesight, she took a deep breath and raised her own weapon.
The 1M is an easily surpassed anti-tank sniper rifle.
It is simply a type of case for stability and accuracy, but it did not seem strange to back down because it was a sniper rifle as much as its appearance.
She used her own special perspective to locate her Siwoo Kim.
‘The distance is more than 3KM… This place is inside the field, but the wind is embodied.’
Feeling the flow of artificial wind created to add realism, I aimed at Siwoo Kim with a sniper rifle.
Because Kim Si-woo moves at high speed, it seemed difficult to hit even a tolerable sharpshooter.
It was never easy to shoot an object that moved erratically from a distance, but to her eyes, the bullet’s trajectory looked like a hologram.
‘Considering the movement speed and the movement pattern… I’m aiming that way.’
The distance, bullet speed, trajectory, and Siwoo Kim’s movement began to be calculated in her head like a supercomputer.
‘Aim for the moment to cross over from the next building.’
Normally, once the body was airborne, it could not change its direction until it stepped on something.
There was no need to use flight magic, and the artifacts that ran in the sky at that time had nothing to do with Kim Si-woo.
It was such a short amount of time that it could be said that it was an instant to go over the building next door, but it didn’t matter to her.
As she pulled her trigger, with the slightest noise, her bullets started flying accurately, aiming for Siwoo Kim.
__Fang…Fang…Fang…Fang…
Taking into account Siwoo Kim’s evasion, the four bullets fired in quick succession, even if it was a magic bullet, had some recoil in order to aim for a long distance, but her body did not tremble at all.
Four bullets that fly stealthily and quickly, making almost no sound.
Her precise shooting, nicknamed the invisible god of death, accurately calculated Kim Si-woo’s fast speed and aimed for the moment when Moi flew into the air.
The moment a bullet strikes Kim Si-woo at the same speed as light, which ordinary cadets cannot see or react to.
Siwoo Kim moved.
__Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting!
Kim Si-woo moves as if dancing and gently descends to the next building.
She saw what happened in a split second so fast that normal people wouldn’t even be aware of what had happened.
She knows the exact order of the bullets she fires, and she cuts them in half with each shot of her sword.
Those who watched the game burst into exclamation when they saw Kim Si-woo playing in slow motion.
The way they danced in the air was enough to evoke admiration.
And Kim Tae-yeon, who watched it herself, was equally astonished.
Is that possible?
I don’t know how it’s possible to block one shot, but is it possible to block all four shots?
No matter how much time difference there was, it was a series of attacks that could be said to be almost simultaneous.
‘Is it really… The man Choi Tae-soo recognized?’
Yeah, he never thought he’d be down this much. He didn’t show everything himself either.
‘The next attack is…’
Goosebumps came up the moment I moved my position again to aim for an opening.
Because Kim Si-woo’s gaze was precisely directed at him.
