Chapter 597 – S-Class Hunter (6)
*
“What are you going to do later!”
It was a rebuke that wasn’t Minji’s rebuke. In my situation, I was like a victim, but it felt a bit unfair.
“What did I do?”
I already knew it wasn’t a good choice.
It is true that there were people who looked at us with disapproving eyes in place of the disappeared Na Daenam, but that did not mean we could back down.
‘If you’re thinking of becoming an S-class hunter.’
It may be too high a grade for me to discuss it as I am only a cadet, but given the opportunity, doesn’t that mean there is a possibility?
It felt like I was drinking too much kimchi soup, but honestly, I thought it was worth a try with the people around me.
To become S-class means to stand above these guys.
If I was going to give in to territoriality, I wouldn’t have even thought about trying.
“Ha. Anyway.”
Minji seemed to have more to say, but she just sighed, probably thinking it was useless.
Our Minji Maman, thank you for worrying about us, but you should know that you can’t become an S-class hunter if you’re afraid of people like Na Daenam.
‘I haven’t even passed it yet.’
Well, it’s right to talk about things like this after passing the exam, but didn’t they say you should dream big?
“Anyway, what are they doing over there?”
“You can’t even contact me?”
“Huh. Uh, communication was cut off.”
Looking at the sudden simultaneous sighs and reactions, it seemed like other people were doing the same.
In a situation where the internet and phone calls are not available, unless the accident occurred suddenly, it must be considered intentional.
In general, it was normal for electronic devices not to be used at national testing centers.
It’s just that I have to keep waiting in a situation where there are so many people waiting. Minji and Da-eun are ahead of me, so I’ll be alone later.
“Hunter number 174!!”
“Whoa. I’m going to go do it.”
“Don’t be too nervous. Is there anything special?”
He comforted Minji who was nervous.
Although this is a test that so many people take at once, it was thought that precise measurements would not be possible.
If I try it, wouldn’t it be something like measuring magic attribute?
Because magical power could be accurately measured using a floor estimation tool.
Of course, I don’t think magical power is everything, but it was still the most objective measure when showing a hunter’s ability.
It is almost impossible for a hunter with about 50 magic attribute to beat a hunter with 100 magic attribute.
Exceptions always occur, but if the difference is that much, it can be seen that there are almost no variables.
‘Well. Then other people will also acknowledge it.’
Although the magic power level is not absolute, other hunters will understand it if it is a minimum standard.
“How many times did Siwoo say it?”
“I’m number 690. “What number is Da-eun?”
“I’m number 254. “I guess I’ll have to be alone later.”
“I can’t help it. Well, it’s not like I can’t wait to see it even if I want to.”
It was chosen at random, so what can I do? There is also a way to retry the number tickets, but it was clear that the order of our children would also be different.
As long as I could go out late on my own and my kids could take their exams quickly, I was satisfied.
“Hehe. What kind of test is this? Is it a measurement of magic attribute as expected?”
“It would be impossible to evaluate each person here. Isn’t that right?”
“I’m nervous~. Do you think Siwoo is okay? Did Sua and Seoah pass?”
“Hmm. I think Seo-ah passed. But I don’t know about the rest?”
The familiar ash gray hair seen along with the name of the next test taker.
Kim Taeyeon, even you are further ahead than me.
Just like that, Da-eun disappeared, and I was left alone waiting for my turn.
*
Although there were guys who were staring, there were no hunters like Na Daenam who were directly arguing.
If there were guys like that, the waiting time wouldn’t have been boring.
Well, honestly, Na Daenam was a strange guy.
Because it wasn’t something a normal person would do to start a fight with someone who was still.
After waiting for so long, the moment I reached the point where I couldn’t help but yawn and close my eyes.
“Hunter number 690!”
“Yes.”
It was finally my turn.
When you follow the test tube and stand in front of the huge door, the door opens automatically.
“Then follow me.”
Following the examiner’s guidance, I passed through a long passage and arrived in a special room.
The test tube began checking my body with a unique-looking sensor.
A device similar to something used at an airport security checkpoint began to beep loudly as it passed over the bracelet.
“Please put all the equipment you have here and wait until further instructions.”
“Do we have to dismantle the whole thing?”
“Yes.”
After taking off my trademark bracelet, I felt something was missing, but what can I do? If I want to measure pure force, I have to do it like this.
After removing all the artifacts and entering the room, the iron door that appeared to be made of several layers closed with a thud.
[“Hold your breath for about 30 seconds.”
“Hold your breath?”
[“Then let’s begin.”
__Weeeee!!!
There was a loud noise and the sound of the air inside being sucked out.
The moment I wondered what I was doing to this point, I felt the concentration of magical power around me was decreasing.
The room had turned into a sterile room, or rather a magic-free room. No magic power was felt in the room.
Are you saying that you will not tolerate even small variables?
[“30 seconds are over. Then place your hand on the bead in front of you and do not use any magic control.”
The moment I raised my hand as instructed, the bead began to glow and the magic power inside began to fluctuate.
I felt uncomfortable due to the semi-forced synchronization phenomenon, but the examiner asked me to never control my magic power.
[“Control may result in different measurements. Never control it.”
The magic sphere glowed and a synchronization of magic occurred, and I could feel magic moving artificially along the magic circuit.
I thought this was a magic tool that was different from typical measuring tools, and that it was probably Choi A-rin’s work.
[“Yes, measurement is complete. Now, please slowly remove your hand.”
Is it already over? To be honest, it wasn’t a very pleasant experience.
In particular, would you say that the feeling of heterogeneous magic power circulating through the magic circuit and magic heart is quite unpleasant?
I don’t know how the closed magical heart was measured, but this should be enough to select S-class hunters.
‘I’m a little anxious, though. ‘I guess I passed, right?’
*
I was able to hear the test results quickly as soon as I left the testing center.
I don’t know if it’s because I just checked the numbers and that’s it, but it was quite fast.
Of course, I received the results, and the words written on the notice were that I passed.
There was just one more letter attached.
[Fail.
“… “
Are you saying I failed?
No other information was written.
It only said whether I passed, but there was no information about how it was evaluated or what the criteria were.
It was an incomprehensible situation, and it seemed the same to other hunters.
“No. This is.”
“Sorry. “You were disqualified because you did not meet the standards.”
“So, it’s so easy.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Please at least tell me the standards. “How much is lacking?”
“Sorry. “I can’t tell you because it’s confidential.”
“… “
The guide’s words don’t change no matter how much you think about it.
It was the moment when a test worth 300 million won was completed in one click.
Hyeji, Minji, and Jeongsooah, who were waiting outside, walked towards us.
Then I checked my test results.
“Whoa. Did. You fall too? Are you okay? That can happen.”
“Did you fail too?”
“Yes. Miss Minji and Miss Suah also failed.”
“Is it just Seo-ah and Da-eun?”
Well, those two definitely have more magical power than others, but I never thought even Hyeji would fall.
“As expected. Can’t it be done without a magical power bag?”
“… ? “Did you just tell me?!”
Judging by the fact that Hyeji fell as low as he did, the standards seemed to be ridiculously high.
If you look at just the magic attribute level, I was inferior to both of them.
‘I only measured the magic heart… So there’s nothing I can do about it.’
I have Danjeon and holy power, but there was no way that was reflected in this measurement.
So, it means that I failed based on pure magic power, but isn’t this too disadvantageous for me?
Even though the standard for S-class hunters has gone down, I thought it wouldn’t be easy to get one, but isn’t it still too high?
Because of my Danjeon, I have good magic efficiency, and because of my anti-demon characteristics, I can produce high power with less magic power than others.
Aren’t the evaluation criteria too narrow?
“From the looks of it, it looks like it fell.”
“?”
“Did you think becoming a hunter could be that easy? “Kkeukkeuk.”
Na Daenam, did the guy who finished the evaluation a long time before me wait until now?
And what was in his hand was a notice of acceptance.
“It’s all like that. When others guide you, you tend to lose your sense of reality. “Kkeukkeuk”
I don’t know if it was because he passed, but he was definitely less combative than when I first saw him.
He was grinning at me with a face full of ridicule, and I just wanted to beat him up.
“Okay. Okay. Do your best? “Kkkk.”
I don’t know what’s so exciting, but as I watched him teabagging, I started to feel warm.
I thought I would win in a one-on-one fight, but I lost because of lack of magic power?
“You. Just wait.”
“This bastard speaks informally.!”
Na Daenam, who spewed out magical energy with a ferocious force, clearly had more magical energy than me.
However, it didn’t feel like there was that much of a difference.
[Do you want to load save point?
The moment I returned it, I used the points right away.
