Chapter 385 – Counterterrorism Test (3)
*
Yang Ji-seok.
Inherent Ability Magic Synchronization [魔力同調].
The ability to use someone else’s magic as if it were one’s own, the ability to use another hunter’s magic, or the ability to use the magic of a magic stone as it is.
Unlike other hunters, it can use a battery of some kind, so even if the amount of innate magical power is insufficient, it is possible to compensate through magic stones.
Anyway, he used to be proud of his rank as a hunter in the top 10 of Academia, but now everything has become a thing of the past.
“Sorry.. Cadet Yang Ji-seok can no longer use the DIA training room.”
“What is that…”
Yang Ji-seok made a puzzled expression, but nothing changed. That’s because he wasn’t a top 10 hunter anymore.
His ranking is 11th. He was notified of his ranking drop overnight, and he heard the same story everywhere he went.
That he is no longer 10th, so he can’t use the diamond level facilities he used before.
Of course, the platinum grade facilities weren’t bad either. Diamond-level facilities were exceptionally good, but Platinum-level facilities were a facility that ordinary cadets could not even dream of.
It was an unsatisfactory facility for him, who had already experienced better facilities. Yang Ji-seok, who had no choice but to head to the Platinum Training Facility, heard whispers about him.
“What is that, isn’t that Yang Ji-seok?”
“Why is that child here?”
“Did you not hear the news? They say he was demoted.”
“Ah. So that Yang Ji-seok came to the Platinum facility?”
The 10th and 11th places were not simply one ranking difference. It was the reference point and invisible wall that divided the diamond and platinum grades.
Even cadets in the top 10 are not at a level different from cadets in the top 3. As such, there was a difference in level between the cadets in the top 10 and the cadets in the top 30.
So he thought he was different from them, but now he fell below them.
‘Kim Si-woo…Because of that bastard…’
He heard the sound of guys who were dissatisfied with his attitude chewing on him, but Yang Ji-seok ignored the sound and headed to the training room.
He even went into Every Week, which he normally didn’t pay attention to.
[I heard Yang Ji-seok went down to 11th place haha]
ㄴ [Laughs]
ㄴ [Isn’t that from Siwoo Kim? ]
B haha]
When you search for your name, all you see is ridicule.
[In the top 10, didn’t everyone win except Yang Ji-seok? ]
B [I think so? The academy is embarrassing me for being alone kekekekekekeke]
ㄴ [Still, isn’t Ji-seok at a level that can be ignored? ]
ㄴ [What are you doing instead of Siwoo Kim? There is no one to protect Ji-seok no matter how hard he cracks lol ]
ㄴ [It’s nice that Sioudan isn’t here haha Kim Siwoo’s Yang Ji-seok ㅇㄱㅇ]
Yang Ji-seok, who was looking for an article with his name on it, nervously threw his phone on the floor.
“You worms that don’t know anything!!!”
His opponent was just bad. Yang Ji-seok’s opponent is an assassin-type cadet.
Who would have known that he would suddenly surprise after hiding himself in an unfamiliar downtown field.
He defended somehow and continued the battle, but the first surprise attack was too strong, so he started at a disadvantage.
On top of that, he was a quick-moving opponent, so he had a bad compatibility with himself.
‘Kim Tae-yeon looks gorgeous on the outside, but it’s enough to block it anyway! That means I’m never inferior to Kim Si-woo!!’
If he had faced Kim Tae-yeon, he could have won like Kim Si-woo. He looks gorgeous on the outside, but in fact, Kim Tae-yeon doesn’t have poor defense.
He was an opponent that even he could defeat if he used a barrier to block Kim Tae-yeon’s attack and blow magic.
The community was full of posts comparing himself and Siwoo Kim. It was because Kim Si-woo became the target of comparison when he ranked 10th.
Yang Ji-seok, who suddenly appeared in a situation where he couldn’t even write because of Siwoo-dan, who appeared out of nowhere when he wrote a slanderous article about Kim Si-woo, became a good prey.
When the forces that had previously slandered Kim Si-woo suddenly began biting Yang Ji-seok, his reputation suddenly began to fall into the abyss.
“Kim Si-woo.. If only that damn bastard hadn’t been there!!!!!!!!!!”
As if to vent his anger, Kim Ji-seok, who used magic on the target in front of him several times, began to control his breathing.
“There are still opportunities.”
The other guys might not have noticed, but Kim Ji-seok first heard and realized from Min-ah Kang that her teams were divided based on her even and odd rankings.
“There’s no way I’m giving a nonsensical evaluation.”
Although not completely fair, Daehan Academy’s evaluation was based on fairness.
However, if we fight for 1st place and 10th place here, can it really be a fair evaluation?
Of course, the results may vary depending on how the team is structured and how the strategy is structured, but the basic force cannot be ignored.
‘It would be fair to at least have them fight for first place and second place.’
Isn’t the standard for dividing the villain union and the hero union explicit? If so, there was a high probability that the opponent of Kim Si-woo, who was in 10th place, would be Kang Tae-pung, who was in 9th place.
‘Then if I join Kang Tae-pung’s team, I’ll be fighting Kim Si-woo.’
If that happened, it would be possible to show the officials of Academia who was the best. Kim Si-woo just won through superiority.
She didn’t know that her loss was just not a good match, and if she proved that in this evaluation, she would be able to rise to the top 10 again, or even higher.
‘To do that… I’ll have to go under the strong typhoon.’
It was a time when they couldn’t eat each other enough to be called rivals, but now they had no choice but to go under him.
When his ego didn’t tolerate it, he had to find the 10th place again. This was not the time for him to build his ego.
We will prove it in this evaluation. What a great hunter he is. And who is the real top 10?
A chance to prove who you are to those who have been pointing fingers behind your back.
Yang Ji-seok waited for the day of the test while sharpening the blade of revenge.
*
Yang Ji-seok or something, he went to see if he had any plans to be on the same team, and he glared at me with tremendous eyes.
‘Becoming a man and behaving small’
It’s not like I lowered the rankings, the academy evaluated it that way, but it seems like it’s hard for me to accept it.
Although I honestly think I would be a bit angry if the guy who stole my ranking came and asked me to join the team.
Still, isn’t it important to win the evaluation?
Well, Yang Ji-seok glared at me a little, but I decided not to pay too much attention to it because the reactions of the other guys were similar.
‘But this time it’s different.’
After failing to recruit him on his own, he decided to enlist the help of reinforcements. The reinforcements are Minji and Sua.
“What do you like?”
“Just because you’re grateful for helping?”
“If you knew, you were good.”
“…”
Maybe it was because she was next to Minji, but Sua was a bit withdrawn, but she was still following her around without much complaint.
I checked Minah’s list once again. She’s rejected all the top 20, so I guess I’ll have to find the next good guy.
Seo Ah-na and Da-eun ask other guys to come first and pick them up, but I’m running with my feet like this, so the difference is huge.
“Who’s next?”
“Oh Hye-min”
“Oh Hye-min?”
“A mage focused on offensive power. It is written that it is quite usable except for its low defense ability.”
“Where did you get that?”
Minji pointed at the list I was holding with a puzzled expression. Since she had no information, she spoke to Min-ah, and she handed her organized materials about her academy’s second-year cadet.
It was made based on publicly available data, so there may be some inaccuracies, but I told other instructors that it was no problem.
“I just gathered a lot of information.”
“Do not lie. There’s no way you’d do something bothersome like that.”
“…Haha.”
Looking at my reaction, it seems that I know where the source of the data is. Is there anyone other than Min-ah who can make materials like this? After all, sisters are sisters.
“Am I there too?”
“Your Minji? I think you can find it if you look for it.”
It wasn’t written in such detail, it was just a data with a ranking and a light evaluation line written on it, and Minji’s name was also written.
“As a dealer capable of tanking, it is written as a cadet with a strong one shot.”
“Well… That’s not wrong.”
It’s not excessive, and it seems to be written at a level that is understandable to some extent. However, if you write too detailed, you may be suspicious of the source of the data.
“There. Is there me too?”
“How old are you?”
“162, etc.”
“Jeong Soo-ah.. Is here. A cadet with top-tier recovery abilities and wide-area defense abilities as a support class.”
“What. Not bad. Joy..”
Su-ah’s lips curl up as if she’s satisfied with being evaluated for her top-tier recovery ability.
I have to say that even though it’s ticklish, it’s subtly cute.
“Do you know where Oh Hye-min is over there?”
Minji, who can be called a face madam, went forward to ask the guys around her about Oh Hye-min.
I looked at her moderately and then patted her buttocks when she was squirming.
“What…What are you doing? Mi…Are you crazy?”
“Just to praise our Sua for being kind?”
“It’s… Gross, so don’t do it!”
Soo-ah whispers in a low voice, unable to scream, lest the other cadets see.
“Still, I didn’t expect you to come to me to join the team first. I thought she would do it with Da-eun.”
“Shut up. Unless Da-eun asked, someone would team up with someone like you…”
“Did Da-eun ask?
You take care of me in an invisible place. After all, Da-eun is good at helping me.
“Then, shall we go see it together with Da-eun?”
“What..What are you talking about, you pervert bastard..!”
Even if he said that, looking at the reaction, it seems that he remembered that time. Are you saying that Soo-ah is also a pervert?
“What are you two whispering about?”
“…!”
Su-ah is surprised by Min-ji’s sudden approach, and Min-ji looks suspiciously at the reaction.
I pushed Minji’s back and walked forward before another strange reaction came out.
“Hey! You idiot, not that one!!”
I’ll make you regret not joining our team.
