Chapter 603 – Super Cadet (1)
*
As the exam day got closer, the number of mentions of Kim Si-woo’s name in the hunter industry increased.
That’s because Kim Si-woo’s opponent has been revealed.
No matter how much you keep it a secret, there are people itching to tell the people around them.
For those people, the match between the second-year academy cadet and the teenage guild main dealer was a very good source of gossip.
Most people expected Na Daenam to win, but not everyone.
“What? Hunter thinks it’s a joke? “Ae Song, who is only in second grade, can beat Na Daenam?”
“Well. You won’t know until you fight, right? “I watched an exchange match last time, and it seemed like it wasn’t enough for me to already be a volunteer hunter.”
“It’s a competition between cadets, isn’t it natural? No matter how much a cadet flies or crawls, a cadet is still just a cadet.”
“No, I saw it myself? Just because it’s different, it’s probably stronger than you?”
“Yes, I admit that your abilities are outstanding. Still, do you think a cadet who has only studied for two years can beat an active hunter?”
He thought that passing the exam meant that he met the qualifications and that his abilities were not lacking.
Although it’s frustrating, cadets with incredible talent and potential appear from the beginning.
Even when I was attending the academy, there were cadets who flew from the beginning, so I thought it was possible.
However, no matter how great the ability was, the experience was a different story.
“Just because you received some training at the academy, are you comparing it to an active hunter? “I have to say something that makes sense.”
In fact, this was always the first thing new hunters who graduated from the academy said every year when they joined the guild.
Real life is different.
They think they know everything about hunters after receiving some training from the academy, but they don’t.
How many dangers exist in the world of Gate Too, and how many unexpected situations can never be learned from theory.
In fact, a significant portion of the deaths among hunters were those who had just received their hunter license.
“Besides, Na Daenam is a main dealer and a skilled hunter. Do you think a cadet who is only in his second year can win?”
“Okay. Still, you will win. “You fell.”
“You bastard! It’s just that I don’t have enough magic power. Do you think I’ll lose to the cadet?”
“Your next disqualified person. Where does the B-class bastard rub?”
“Do you want to rummage? “You’re also B-class!”
After bickering for a while, they raised their beer kens.
“So we can’t see it?”
“I will be reluctant to expose the power itself, but will that be possible?”
There is a saying that it is a virtue to hide 30% of one’s strength, so there was no hunter who wanted to expose his power to others.
As long as villains exist, exposing their power is that dangerous.
But now that I have a chance to be promoted to S-class, I’ll forget about that and fight with all my might. How bad will I show myself?
It was Cheonchu’s regret that he could not attend the event.
“Shiba… I’m so fucking jealous. I wish I had a lot of magic attribute too.”
“Did you say tomorrow?”
“That’s the rumor, but nothing has been made public, so I don’t know.”
“But really, I don’t know who will win.”
“Under. So you can’t get promoted. “You wouldn’t know it just by looking at it, right?”
“Do you want to bet?”
“I see. I bet 20 million that Na Daenam wins. “And you?”
“I am Kim Si-woo.”
“Hey, don’t you regret it?”
“I’m not sure, but strangely, I think Kim Si-woo will win.”
“Under. This guy still hasn’t come to his senses. “Thank you for the free money?”
“Kim Si-woo is not an ordinary cadet.”
The only time I actually saw Kim Si-woo was during the last exchange, but I felt something while looking up information about Kim Si-woo.
The fact that he is by no means an ordinary cadet.
“Then what is it?”
“Super cadet.”

‘I’m in good condition today, and I need to receive support from my wives.’
Even though she wasn’t officially a wife yet, thanks to Hyeji and Minji’s help, it seemed like she could fly around without any piles.
To get into the best condition, I rested without any special training.
To prevent my body from stiffening, I didn’t really use my body other than having sex.
Unlike before, all the hunters had nervous expressions. Not all of them looked like that, but it seemed like the places where people lived were all the same.
‘I guess I can’t use the equipment this time either.’
Of course I thought that would be the case, but it was a shame that I couldn’t use the sword I always used.
Everyone had the same conditions, so no one complained about it.
Well, honestly, if you go up to Tempal in a situation like this, there will definitely be talk behind your back.
“They are all made of the same material, so just pick the weapon that fits your hand!”
The guide called out loudly to the hunters in front of the weapon box.
“Choose your weapon and put on your battle suit in the locker room over there!”
It felt strange to see everyone wearing the same clothes and holding the same weapons.
Would you say it feels like you have become a soldier in the military?
“Is there a quantity limit for weapons?”
“There is no quantity limit. It doesn’t matter if it’s a sidearm or a throwing weapon, so take it yourself.”
You should use your weapons wisely, but it was definitely suitable for a hunter.
Using the right weapon at the right time can also be said to be a hunter’s ability.
Although I prefer swords the most, it is common to use various weapons depending on the monster.
Well, as long as Choi Tae-soo is skilled, weapons are not very meaningful, but there is no harm in preparing them.
No matter how much magical power there is, there is a difference in efficiency and length between strengthening the body and strengthening the weapon.
‘Where is Na Daenam?’
I heard that they use a sword, but I wanted to see for myself what kind of weapon they would use, but no matter how hard I looked, I couldn’t see it.
“There’s no way he ran away… “
Unless you can’t come because of a natural disaster, there’s no way you can’t see Na Daenam.
‘Or is that it?’
It’s like dividing them into two categories so that you can’t tell which weapon the opponent chose.
Considering that the number of people was smaller than then, it seemed like a reasonable inference.
Well, it’s good for me not to see that bastard’s face, but I’m curious how they’ll prepare.
As I was rummaging through things, I heard a familiar voice from behind.
“Don’t touch it like that, but swing it yourself. A weapon that doesn’t fit the hand is like rat poison to a hunter.”
“Hmm.? Instructor Kim Si-young?”
Instructor Kim Si-young, wearing a black, tight-fitting battle suit like everyone else, was standing behind me.
The academy didn’t say anything, but they still take care of me as a cadet.
“Don’t call me instructor here, call me hunter.”
“Ah. Yep. Hunter Siyoung Kim.”
“Aren’t you nervous?”
“What. “It doesn’t seem particularly good, does it?”
Na Daenam, honestly, I don’t think I’ll lose.
“Don’t let down your guard. “Because he is a more thorough man than you think.”
“Is that so?”
To me, he seems like an emotionally driven guy, but otherwise he wouldn’t argue so openly.
Following instructor Kim Si-young’s advice, I grabbed weapons of slightly different lengths and swung them a few times.
Still, it was a weapon that seemed to be of quite good quality as it was exclusive to the S class, and it had different lengths and different center of gravity, so it was harder to choose than I thought.
Fortunately, there was a sword that looked similar to the Cheongun Sword that I mainly used, so I decided to use that.
‘Is Instructor Kim Si-young a dagger?’
They said there was no limit to the number of weapons, so I took an auxiliary sword and a throwing dagger.
I want to take everything with me, but if I take too much, it will hinder my ability to move, right?
I packed two identical swords and several throwing daggers in case they break.
“Well. I have a question.”
“Yes?”
“Well. I’ve been meaning to ask this for a while, but if you and Minah… “
“Please store the equipment you selected here and move it according to the instructions!!”
“Hey, I haven’t chosen yet!”
“There are 30 minutes left, so please hurry!!”
“What did you say?”
“It is nothing. “It looks like we don’t have time, so hurry up.”
*
“… “
As announced, the opponent was Na Daenam.
Haha. Why were you embarrassed?”
I was able to understand to some extent the meaning of what instructor Kim Si-young said to me.
He was a more thorough man than I thought, it certainly seemed that way.
“Are you two ready?”
“Because I’m ready. Let’s get started quickly!”
“Yes.”
“If you fall out of the stadium, it is an out-of-field loss! Then, please engage according to the rules!!”
As the referee disappeared in such a hurry, the countdown began and the large numbers on the electronic display board were decreasing one by one.
There was a barrier between the stands and the sparring hall, and as the number decreased, the magic density in the air began to rise rapidly.
‘As expected, we are fighting in a high-pressure area… Even if that is the case, that bastard is carrying a shield so cowardly!’
I didn’t really care about the magical power that weighed down the surroundings.
What stands out is the appropriately sized shield Na Daenam is holding.
Does this kid have no self-respect to cowardly bring a shield to a battle between men?
“Did you say you were confident in swordsmanship? So what can you do?”
Na Daenam waved his shield and laughed at me.
“Among the monsters, most of them are impervious to swordsmanship. So digging just one well is inefficient.”
He was always an annoying guy.
“So you’re still a cadet. “If you have a shield, what can you do?”
The guy was talking as if he had already won, so I glared at him while pushing away his increasing magic power.
“Talk more.”
“This kid speaks informally again!!”
“I will chew your shield whole and eat it.”
__0!!!
That’s how the duel with him began.
