Chapter 66 – 066 Beginning of Semester 2 (6)
*
Choi Tae-soo stood in front of the awakened cadets.
An old man was standing there smiling softly.
“So, how do you feel about fighting?”
The cadets couldn’t open their mouths easily, as if the memory of what was right in front of them came to mind.
“Ha… I don’t know a thing.”
“It was scary!”
Each of them gave a different answer, but most were of the opinion that they were afraid or did not know what had happened.
“Heh heh, yes. Most of them probably didn’t even think about it the moment I approached them.”
The students, whose hair had turned white in fear, nodded.
My mind went blank, and I couldn’t even move my feet in fear.
“Even under that circumstance, I commend the students who took action first.”
Choi Tae-soo looked at several students, including Yoon Seo-ah and Lee Da-eun, and clapped their hands.
“If this were a real situation, what do you think would happen?”
“…”
“Yes, everyone died without even lifting a hand.”
“I don’t know if someone will think like this. It was because the other person was me.
He spoke with a soft expression, not the one he showed in Dalian.
“Yes, it must be different from our time. Unlike my days when nothing was established, now everything such as monsters’ grades, habits, weaknesses, and opponents are organized.”
“Unless you’re an idiot, you won’t be challenged to catch a monster that even your opponent can’t handle.”
Choi Tae-soo made a vague expression as he recalled the days when he could not know anything until he met him.
“In addition, unlike before, the number of villains has been greatly reduced, so if you are careful, you should be able to avoid them.”
She recalled the days when she would go looking for villains and break their bones. Didn’t he grind those who touched his granddaughter to the bone?
“However, not everything in the world goes as planned.”
“Which one of these can guarantee that an accident will not happen in their lifetime?”
Looking at the uncertain future and, of course, the quiet cadets, Choi Tae-soo chuckled.
“Even I don’t know the future. Villains still exist, and I can’t guarantee what kind of accident will happen at the gate.”
Saying that, Choi Tae-soo recalled the past.
“I too went through the gate mixing phenomenon at the gate where I entered thinking it was safe when I was only doing you guys.”
“A monster that couldn’t come out of that gate appeared in front of me, so what do you think I would have done?”
A cadet answered Choi Tae-soo’s question.
“If it was Choi Tae-soo, I think he would have solved it with his fists.”
“No, I couldn’t do anything like you and shuddered. When I woke up late, half of my colleagues were already dead.”
“…”
“If he had targeted me, I would have died on the spot.
“If I hadn’t been scared and fought, I wouldn’t have died so many times.”
He said with a bitter smile.
“So, I think of that event every time, and I have decided in advance how to act when a situation arises.”
“Maybe that’s why I’ve survived so far.”
Choi Tae-soo’s voice was heavy.
“When you encounter an overwhelmingly strong enemy, your head will turn white and you can be swallowed up by fear.”
“Prepare for the situation in advance and practice so that you can move reflexively without thinking, then—”
Lee Da-eun thought while listening to Choi Tae-soo.
Her own weakness is close combat, but she has never given much thought to close combat.
Until now, she had no opponents who could approach her.
A lightning ability that spreads widely and has the property of inducing the opponent.
When strong power was added to it, it was common for everyone to fall before approaching Lee Da-eun.
Yoon Seo-ah thought that she was out of the question because she was pushed out of the match.
‘If it wasn’t for Siwoo at that time, it would have ended the way it was..’
No matter how hard she tried to dodge, she was in little danger of missing her attack, as she possessed a blitz ability that spread widely and was induced in her opponents.
In the case of Yoon Seo-ah, she thought that she was just pushed out of her match because she couldn’t use the lightning ability against the ice wall.
She said, ‘I think she’s been too complacent all this time…’
She thought that even if she actually went out on a raid, she would hide behind the vanguard, and she only needed to attack well.
What if, as Choi Tae-soo said, she suddenly attacks after her?
What if the villains attack?
‘I’m going to need some close combat training!’
She was determined to train once, but she was at a loss.
She took a basic class in the first semester, but she didn’t understand her instructor’s teaching because she had no talent for using her body.
Now that she’s just out of the way, it seemed like she’d be meddling again.
‘Should I ask someone else?’
Although she asked a friend of hers, most of the students who come to the academy for her are elite.
I didn’t understand Lee Da-eun, her body at all.
‘Come to think of it…’
Two people from the lower ranks came to mind.
‘Joowon and Siwoo…’
Although she has grown apart from Joo-Won Kang, she is also a partner and could she become friends again?
She decided to ask Kang Joo-won first. If she can’t, she’ll have to ask Siwoo Kim.
When Lee Da-eun organized her thoughts and came to her senses, she saw Tae-soo Choi answering her cadets’ questions.
“What is the salary of those A-class hunters?”
“Hehe… That’s all up to you, isn’t it?”
*
Kang Min-ah was silently looking down at Kim Si-woo’s face as he was being treated.
Sleeping with her eyes closed like this made her look cute, and I felt a strange feeling in her lower abdomen.
One of the instructors came up and started talking.
“Is this student’s name Kim Si-woo? It’s because he lacks ability. He looks like a veteran just by fighting.”
Minah Kang agreed with the instructor.
As someone who kept watching Siwoo Kim, I was surprised in the last match, but even more surprised in this battle.
It was a movement that was never made by talent, but was made through numerous experiences.
Watching him move skillfully, he looked like a veteran hunter who had gone through all the hardships.
How much effort did you have to make alone while enduring the gaze of being ignored by those around you?
“I could see that he was undervalued rather than his skills.
Of course, it would be difficult to maintain this speed, but the instructor swallowed his words behind his back. It’s a fact that she knows even if she doesn’t have to say it when she’s about Kang Min-a.
“He sure seems like a disciple worth saving. Haha.”
“Swing”
Kang Min-ah lowered her head as if she was a little embarrassed by the instructor’s words.
“You don’t seem to like Choi Tae-soo’s way.”
The instructor muttered as he looked at Choi Tae-soo, who was answering the cadets’ questions.
The atmosphere was relaxed and she even asked a naughty question, but Choi Tae-soo accepted it without being very angry.
Still, no questions crossed the line.
“I think experiencing it is more tangible than hearing it in words.”
The instructor said with a sly smile.
“In fact, isn’t it difficult to experience this kind of experience?
“It’s normal to die.”
Kang Mina muttered. Few hunters who are active in the actual field have had such an experience.
Most cases of encountering an overwhelming enemy lead to death.
“Still, it’s not good this way.”
“Well… Isn’t that different for each person? No matter how well intentioned, it can be helpful to some people and useless to others.”
The instructor reminded her of the life lecture at school instead of her childhood class.
Some say helpful things, while others just boast about their success.

As I was lying down, Choi Tae-soo came in.
We had a casual conversation, and he asked me a few light questions about his past.
A story of sorry for making a mistake and looking forward to the future.
Of course, the story of swordsmanship could not be left out.
“I learned swordsmanship at a time when I was trying out this and that, but I saw Death Knight’s swordsmanship——”
I learned from watching Skeleton Knight, but Choi Tae-soo seems to have followed Death Knight.
Both are knight monsters, but Death Knight seemed to have better swordsmanship than his name.
When the story was lightly finished, he began to untie the cloth behind him.
‘Am I still keeping my promise?’
“It’s something I got while looking for the gate where the Death Knight comes out…”
He picked up an old book.
A book with unknown characters written on it, probably one of the rewards obtained while wandering around the dungeon.
“Have you ever heard of the fact that beyond the gate is another dimension?”
“Yes, I’ve heard of it.”
It is not impossible to create gates artificially, but it is
Different environments, such as a forested jungle, a snowy snowfield, a waterless desert, a dungeon full of walls and traps,
There were different monsters for each gate, so it was unreasonable to say that they were artificially created.
“I haven’t discovered intelligent life yet, but I’m guessing there may have been a life that achieved civilization.”
Choi Tae-soo said that and handed over the book.
A book with unusual characters that cannot be interpreted.
Once it was handed over, I turned the page.
There were pictures as well as letters.
This feeling is somehow familiar.
The swordsmanship of the fallen empire?
“This?”
[You have acquired the swordsmanship of the Elenen Empire. ]
[ The swordsmanship of the fallen empire is changed to the swordsmanship of the Ellenn Empire. ]
‘Uh? A book of swordsmanship?’
Is it possible to level up a skill without using points?
Choi Tae-soo gave it to me as a gift, saying that the interpretation failed in the end.
“Just looking at the picture might help, oh and that’s no big deal.”
Choi Tae-soo handed over a brilliant-looking elixir.
At first glance, it looked like something out of the ordinary.
“Compared to magical power, other abilities seem to be lacking. If you drink it, the imbalance will be resolved.”
Choi Tae-soo avoided the seat, saying that he would rest well for the last time.
Looking at the things he brought, it seems that the evaluation of Choi Tae-soo is changing positively.
I had no idea how much it would be in terms of value.
But first, let’s check the rewards obtained by achieving achievements.
[ Pheromone of Incubus: LV1
Incubus is a demon that possesses the opposite sex. Even your physical appearance will change to be attractive to the opposite sex.
– A very weak effect is applied.
– When activated, magic power is consumed. ]
Like a level 1, the skill effect is somewhat disappointing, but what if you raise the level here?
Considering the eyes of the incubus, it seemed like a pretty useful effect would come out.
While I was contemplating whether or not to level up, a knocking sound came from outside.
“Yes.”
The identity of the person who came into my answer was Kang Min-ah.
“I have a story to tell.”
Come to think of it, did Kang Min-ah’s favorability rating exceed 60?
Are you saying there has been a psychological change?
I invested fate points into the incubus pheromones without hesitation.
