Chapter 606 – Super Cadet (4)
*
The exam room quickly turned into a library, and everyone was shocked by the completely unexpected results.
Although some predicted Kim Si-woo’s victory to some extent, they also looked surprised, as if they had never thought it would happen like this.
‘It’s going to be hard.’
Do S-class hunters hunt monsters in this kind of environment?
I think I said that the areas with high-level monsters were like this, but to be honest, I didn’t want to do it again.
Still, if you want to become an S-class hunter, you’ll have to get used to fighting here.
‘The baby looks good.’
I set it up like that, and as I looked at Na Daenam, who was unconscious with his eyes rolled back, the corners of my mouth went up without me knowing.
Well, when will that guy experience something like this? He just had a bad opponent.
If he had fought someone else, he would have won by a lot, but he chose me as his first opponent.
‘It’s a good idea to start your own business.’
To be honest, I would have done that even if it wasn’t installed, but this guy was too outspoken.
They say there is territoriality in any industry, but this guy was a bit harsh.
Well, the other guys looked like they didn’t understand at all, but I didn’t expect even you to have that kind of expression.
Even the old man thought I was going to lose, so that might be a bit disappointing.
“Whoa… “
To be honest, I won by fighting without any technique.
It is not easy to apply magical power in a high-pressure area, and because Na Daenam came with a shield, sword techniques were almost ineffective.
So I just punished him in the same way.
Because I had Danjeon, I was able to apply magical power differently than him.
Unlike ordinary hunters who cannot receive external magical energy internally due to the closed nature of their magic heart, I can use external magical energy as is.
Well, there are technologies that synchronize external magical power, such as unique areas, but there is definitely a difference.
Would you say it is the difference between using it as is from the outside and bringing it inside and using it?
In a high-density environment like now, it is easier to use magical power that has been filtered out to some extent rather than using lumped magical energy as is.
You have to put in the will to make it go along, but it can be done relatively easily with the magic that comes inside.
Well, it was relatively easy, but it was definitely not easy.
It’s probably a method that no other hunter but me can imitate.
‘Honestly, it would have been more difficult if I didn’t have the strength.’
Since it was difficult to filter it out, I just protected the magic circuit with holy power.
Moreover, since the basis of holy power is harmony, there was no major opposition as long as it was adjusted to a certain degree.
It’s more efficient than I thought, so if we develop it further, it might become a good weapon.
Anyway, holy power is a power that other people do not have, so to put it simply, I could see myself as having two mana tanks.
‘By the way, aren’t they taking it out?’
I know you’re surprised, but if this has passed, shouldn’t it be time to take it out?
The Na Daenam cub is also unconscious and under the influence of magic. Is it okay to leave it like that?
“… “
“Ah!..”
As I was glaring at the examiner in silence, the examiner noticed and finally began to take action.
“S-sorry. “I can’t just open it for the next test.”
“Yes. Yes. So, did I win?”
“Yes. Yep. I don’t think other people would disagree. Ah. Are you okay with that injury? “We will treat you right away.”
The moment I came out, I could feel the changed perspective.
The moment I saw the other hunters’ expressions, I knew right away.
In their eyes, I was no longer just a cadet.
To my competitors, I had suddenly emerged as the person they had to be most wary of.
‘Well, I won’t tell you to fight right away.’
Well then, shall we take a break and check out the other guys’ skills?
They evaluated me, so now it was time for me to evaluate them.
I’ll have to wait and see how well the good A-level hunters fight.
*
I don’t know if it can be called a hospital room, but I was treated by a healer and told to lie down for stability, but I came out of the room.
There were no major injuries, and I couldn’t stand watching the fight.
Although there was a monitor above the bed, the liveliness of the scene couldn’t be beat.
Moreover, the movements of the hunter moving at high speed cannot be captured on screen.
‘Shall we take a look?’
Fortunately, there were separate seats for those who had finished sparring.
You don’t have to worry about receiving harsh glares. Well, they’re staring at you from across the room, but that’s tolerable.
Seeing as Na Daenam is nowhere to be seen, either he hasn’t woken up yet or he’s completely fallen.
I was sitting leisurely waiting for the next sparring, when I felt a slight sign of presence behind me.
I looked back at the energy that I could never feel unless I was on guard.
“… ?”
“It was a good sight. Kim Si-woo.”
The woman wearing the same loom suit as everyone else was none other than Jia.
Maybe it’s because I’ve always seen him dressed like an assassin, but his current appearance seems quite refreshing.
Well, if you look at just how well it sticks, you could say there isn’t much of a difference, but would you say it lacks some shine?
I don’t know if it was because it was bigger than the clothes I was wearing before, or because it was more elastic, but the chest area seemed bigger than usual.
I thought it might be because the clothes I usually wear are a bit tighter for hiding.
By the way, it’s more awkward than I thought because I’m not wearing a mask.
Like Seo-ah, I expected her to be pretty, a cool-looking beauty with no facial expressions at all, but she looked even better than I expected.
“Ah. Yes. Thank you.”
“You can speak comfortably. “It’s special because it’s the master… No, it’s the person you want.”
Gian cleared his throat. Normally he seemed like a robot with no emotions at all, but when he talked about Master, that is, his mother-in-law, he somehow came to life.
If you see a slightly red face, does it mean that you have special feelings for your mother-in-law?
‘Well, that could be possible.’
She seemed quite loyal, so it wasn’t strange that she had special feelings.
By the way, when he reacted like that, he seemed to have more humanity than usual.
“Then what should I call her?”
“Please call at your convenience.”
Well, it was Jian who regained his composure in just a split second.
By the way, seeing that Sister Jia is here, is she already finished sparring?
I want to tease you with something, but is there any way?
She told me to call her whatever I wanted, so it doesn’t matter, right?
“Is that Jia sister?”
“Yes. Yes? Yup.!?”
I was so surprised that I was even more surprised than I expected.
Have you ever made an expression like that? It was more noticeable because there was no mask.
“Sorry. It was a joke.”
“… “You can call me whatever you want.”
Is this some kind of permission to call me sister?
It was difficult to judge it rashly because I had no such interaction with Jian.
Well, it’s said that he was a friend who was with Jujis when he fought, but other than that time, I’ve hardly ever seen him, so it’s better not to cross the line.
“Mr. Secretary, are you finished sparring?”
“… That’s right. “Thanks to the easy opponent, I was able to finish quickly.”
It ended while I was going to see the faces of the healers, and even though they were the same A-class hunters, there seemed to be a significant difference in weight between them.
“Congratulations.”
“Thank you.”
If you think about the fight against Jujis, Giannu is also quite skilled, so it would be difficult for an ordinary guy to win.
“… “
“… “
The topic of conversation has already ended and the time for silence has arrived.
Since we’re not that close, I don’t really have anything to say. There’s nothing I can’t do to force the conversation to continue, but should I?
In such strange silence, we watched the other hunters fight in silence.

“The winner is Siyoung Kim Hunter!”
“Huu. Huu.”
Because her body was filled with heat, Kim Si-young unzipped her suit.
Beads of sweat formed between the cleavage. I don’t know if it was because it was a high-density area, but my body felt very hot.
‘It’s not very breathable.’
I don’t know if it was because it was designed with an emphasis on defense, but it felt hotter than the suit I usually wear.
I don’t really like this type of suit because her body temperature rises when she uses her abilities, but it’s probably the Association’s consideration to minimize her injuries, so I guess I’ll get over this.
‘Seeing as I’m going to win, it looks like I haven’t lost my senses yet.’
I was worried that my opponent was an up-and-coming rookie hunter, but it seemed like I wasn’t rusty enough to lose to a new recruit.
Since so many things have happened recently, it may have become more inevitable.
‘By the way… I still can’t believe it…’
The duel between Na Daenam and Kim Si-woo overturned everyone’s expectations and the winner was Kim Si-woo.
Who would have expected that a cadet from an academy would beat a dealer from a teenage guild?
It wasn’t just luck that won, it was Kim Si-woo’s victory that no one could but acknowledge.
There was already evidence that Kim Si-woo was not an ordinary cadet, and judging by his skills alone, it was safe to say that he was already an active hunter.
‘… I knew it was excellent, but I never thought it would be this good… ‘
I knew that Kim Si-woo was better than the other cadets, but he was even better than me.
I am no longer a cadet, so I guess I can consider myself an adult.
‘… ‘
__Finch.
As I thought about that, I suddenly began to remember myself riding on top of Kim Si-woo.
Didn’t he originally say that the beginning of anything remains the strongest?
So far, I have intentionally excluded emotions because I am a cadet, but what if I am not a cadet?
‘So… Honestly, he’s not a bad opponent… The skills are excellent, and the looks are also my taste… And it’s big too.’
Maybe it was because of the experience at that time, but after experiencing it once, I felt like my body got warmer more easily.
‘Come to your senses, Kim Si-young.! Now, at a time like this… ?’
What caught Kim Si-young’s eyes was Kim Si-woo sitting side by side with Lee Ji-ah Hunter.
Looking at the conversation they had with each other, they seemed to be somewhat friendly.
‘If you think about it, Mina and… ‘
It seems like he was quite attached to Min-ah as well. Could it be that Kim Si-woo has older tastes?
‘Come to your senses, Kim Si-young.!’
Contrary to her thoughts, her steps were heading towards where Kim Si-woo and Lee Ji-ah were.
