Chapter 90 – The Trial Where Something Went Wrong ( 7 )
Whoops—-!
Inside the large gym.
Originally, dozens of circular magic circles were drawn on top of where there should have been a shiny floor.
“Haa.. I think my arm will fall off. I’m looking at you two, but can’t you help me?”
Let’s say Blanca, a first year magic and witchcraft teacher, holding a white chalk.
“I’m completely sick of magic… I’m sorry, senior.”
A gas mask that scratches the back of your head.
“Who’s going to take responsibility if I draw something wrong and there’s a problem?”
The wolf beastman who knows how to do it but avoids it answers.
“Ugh-!! If you’re just watching, go over there!”
In the end, Blanca throws the witch hat and ends up exploding.
Shuuk–!
However, Alonso and Hyeonrang, who are both in the gym, moved towards the entrance door of the gym, moving quickly like teleportation.
“I have to ask the support office to buy a machine that automatically draws magic circles. What is this every day for the first test.. Hey.”
In the end, Blanca, who was left alone, lay down on the floor and started drawing the magic circle again.
“Uh? Teacher?”
“Ah. Is recess over?”
At that time, the first year students entering the entrance of the gymnasium.
When they find Hyeon-rang standing at the entrance with their arms crossed, the class A students in gym clothes look puzzled.
There was no reason for Hyeon-rang, who is now a magic control subject in PE class, to be here.
“It’s not a real monster, but it’s still true to fight monsters. It’s about being prepared for the unexpected.”
After saying that to the students, Hyeon-rang habitually tried to line up the children, but tapped Alonso on the shoulder, who was staring at her.
“Why… Ah!”
Alonso quickly saw Hyeon-rang’s expression and nodded her head and hurriedly lined up the children. For Alonso, who is still a new teacher, Hyun Rang, a few years her senior, was like heaven.
“The preparations for the operation of the 1st magic circle are complete.”
At that time, Blanca came over and said, wiping the sweat from her chest.
“One magic circle equals one group, right? Group 1 Who is in our class?”
“In senior’s class.. This is Hiro Kim, Ahyeon Cheong, and Hyeji Hong!”
“Ah… Half major?”
Hyeon-rang slowly turned her head and looked at the line of three people standing in pairs.
Among them, she finds Hiro, who has a unique appearance, and approaches him.
“Understand? When the ranged monster appears, Ahyeon binds it with the Ice skill, and then Hiro rushes in and attacks! If a short-range monster appears, Hiro must deal with it first…!”
There was Hong Hye-ji, who was eagerly explaining something that sounded like an operational plan, and Ah-yeon and Hiro, who were nodding their heads, whether they were understanding or reacting like machines.
“Are you working hard?”
“Ah..! Teacher.”
Seeing Hyeon-rang approaching, the three of them turned her heads at once.
“Is it a battle plan?”
“Yes..Four! Even if it’s the first test, it’s a test, so I thought I had to respond thoroughly!”
Hong Hye-ji answered Hyeon-rang’s question with her high-nosed face.
“Yes. The plan… It doesn’t matter. But remember. That things don’t always go according to plan. Because you don’t know what variables will arise when you encounter a situation.”
“Yeah. Of course, that is expected.”
At Hyeon-rang’s advice, Hong Hye-ji made an expression that she was saying something obvious. At first glance, she had a spoiled attitude, but Hyeon-rang didn’t say much. On the contrary, she can even feel the ridicule in that gaze.
“And Ahyeon, don’t trust her abilities too much. The ice-breaking ability has great defensive power, but it’s too vulnerable to a surprise attack unless magic is wrapped around it.’
Immediately after, she turns her head to Cheong Ah-hyeon, adding another piece of advice.
“Yes… I’ll be careful.”
Unlike Hong Hye-ji, Ah-hyeon answered meekly. He was already aware of the existence of such a weakness as he was being educated by his father, Cheong Ah-saeng.
Of course, none of those in the same class had the offensive power to pierce the bing-gye ability.
“And the class president… Well, he’ll take care of it.”
She was the only Hyeonrang who didn’t give any advice to Hiro.
“Team 1 come out! The test begins immediately.”
After a while, with Alonso’s shout, Hiro, Ahyeon, and Hyeji walked towards the magic circle.
“Let’s not stray from the magic circle~ The three of us lie side by side on top of it~! When you activate magic, your consciousness gradually becomes blurred and you may feel a little dizzy~ but it’s not a big deal!”
At teacher Blanca’s explanation, Cheong Ah-hyun, Kim Hiro, and Hong Hye-ji lay down on the circular magic circle in that order.
“…”
Gulp-
The fact that all the other students were looking at them and from now on hunting virtual monsters made them nervous, but since they were three people who believed in their own skills, they did not think of failure.
“It’s a gym suit now~ but when you go in, all the equipment will be ready~ No equipment for Prosecutor Hiro Kim, Ah-hyeon Cheong, and Hye-ji Hong supporter? Right?”
“Yeah!”
Let’s answer Blanca’s question with the 3 members of Class A.
“Then let’s go in now~”
Whoa—!
Light emanates from the magic circle, and soon the eyes of the three begin to close.
===========
[Then let’s go in now~]
A magic circle that emits light along with Blanca’s languid voice.
“It’s started.”
Cheols looked at the three female students lying on the magic circle on the screen and murmured.
It wasn’t just to spy on the Shinsung International Academy students taking their exams, it was because his daughter ‘Hiro’ was mixed in among the three lying down.
“As expected, can’t we see the scene unfolding during the sleep magic?”
Cheols murmured a little disappointed at the change in the magic circle where there was nothing but the three of them with their eyes closed and asleep.
The cock ring’s remote monitoring magic is magic that illuminates the vicinity of the target wearing the cock ring, not sharing the senses with Hiro. The virtual battle on the surface that Hiro is currently experiencing cannot be observed.
“But… It’s not a real battle, it’s a virtual battle. It’s not like there’s any damage to Hiro.”
Cheols erased a piece of anxiety and raised an additional window to the side of the screen he was watching.
〈〈 Cheongah : B ~ B+ 〉〉
〈〈 Hyeji Hong: C+ ~ B-〉〉
What was displayed there was an information window filled in with the battle ability rating table of Team A, Group 1, based on the standards of Hunters currently on active duty.
‘I heard that the monsters that appear in the test will come out with downgraded versions of the monsters that the magic circle adds up the stats of the three people…’
There is one problem.
〈〈 My daughter: B+ ~ ? 〉〉
“I can’t measure the exact level of Hiro’s combat power.”
First of all, it is certain that he is stronger than Cheong Ah-hyun.
In the battle with the enemy Sena, Hiro fought a battle that could be said to have been overwhelming.
Cheong Ah-hyun has a slight advantage over the enemy. The fact that Hiro is stronger than Cheong Ah-hyun is something that can be known without having to check.
“If the B+ Demon Beast appears, I will catch it without any problem. I can’t be sure if a Class A monster appears… Hmm.”
What Cheols was worried about was the magical powers of the elixir latent in Hiro’s body.
The magic power of the elixir that he had been feeding for several years since he was a child was stored intact in the tentacle cells and stored in Hiro’s body.
If the magic circle calculates even Hiro’s latent magical power as a total ability value, he literally won’t know what will come out.
“It’s good to get first place in the first exam, but if that doesn’t work, you can find another way. I hope Hiro doesn’t overdo it.”
In the end, Cheols, who decided to think of her daughter’s stability more than the progress of the plan, put away the information window and began to wait for Hiro to wake up safely in the screen.
[Haha..! Huh..? Uh..? ]
At that moment, the female student in the screen jumps up and breathes.
“Already!?”
Less than 10 minutes had passed since the test started, but when he saw the student standing up, he exclaimed in horror.
[ What? Didn’t the magic work?! ]
When Alonso, who is in charge of the physical education class, looked at Cheong Ah-hyun and asked in a confused state.
[Ah.. No. The magic worked… But suddenly, as soon as she saw the black shadow, her eyes turned white! ]
Qing Ah-hyun shouted in a panicked voice, as if she herself could not figure out the reason.
[Does your eyes turn white? That’s it… This is what happens when you get a fatal attack from a monster. ]
At Cheong Ah-hyun’s words, Blanca explains with her puzzled face.
[That is, unless the magic went wrong. Ahyeoni was instantly attacked by her opponent’s demon beast, and that’s why she woke up, right? ]
Ah-hyun slowly nods at Hyeon-rang’s words as he organizes the information.
“What? How are things going now!?”
In the magic circle on the screen, two other people besides Cheong Ah-hyun… Hong Hye-ji and Hiro were still asleep.
=================
Wooooo—-
‘…Fog?’
As soon as I opened my eyes, what I saw was a gray landscape like a smoke pipe.
A thick cloud-like fog fills the surroundings, making it impossible to see even a single step ahead.
“Hey…Hiro? Ah Hyun? Is it nearby?”
At that moment, I heard Hong Hye-ji’s frightened voice and realized that there were two others around.
“Yes. Here it is.”
“It seems like we are all together..!”
I can even hear Ahyeon’s voice and make that thought clear.
“First, don’t fall and check your equipment.”
“Ah Okay!”
“Yes!”
Hong Hye-ji trembles in response to Hiro’s words, which are calmer than expected, and Cheong Ah-hyun, who listens well.
‘..The outfit has changed. Leather clothes and a long sword at the waist?’
Hiro noticed that his outfit was from his short-sleeved shorts gym suit to leather armor (leather armor) that clings to the whole body.
Serung–!
‘It’s a long sword…’
I drew out my longsword and touched the blade with my fingers to find out the length.
Just like magic teacher Blanca said that when you enter, you are automatically equipped with full equipment for battle.
‘The problem is this fog that blocks the view..’
You can’t see the place with your eyes.
The only things you can rely on are hearing and smell.
‘If an enemy appears in the current situation… It’s a big deal.’
Hiro quietly closed his eyes.
If it was invisible anyway, it was judged that it would be better to reduce the energy consumed by sight and focus on other senses.
Whoops-…
With the sound of fog moving in the wind.
Woe–!
With the current standing position as the center, the surrounding presence comes into the body’s field of vision.
Hiro makes the most of the fact that he feels the opponent’s ‘presence’ that Cheol Mu-han, the master of swordsmanship, said.
‘Ahyeon and Hyeji..’
Soon, the figures of Ahyeon and Hyeji standing to his left and right were clearly drawn, even their postures and equipment.
The ability to control magical powers and innate senses were at the level of a genius beyond that of a criminal, so it was a sensing ability, and even if he couldn’t see it with his eyes, Hiro had no obstacles in grasping the surrounding terrain.
Iron gruck… Iron gruck…
“…?”
At that time, an obstacle began to approach within the detectable range.
Iron gruck… Iron gruck…
‘The sound of metal clashing?’
The sound, like metal clashing, was coming closer and closer.
Hiro tried to warn Chung Ah-hyeon, who was standing to his left, from the constant repetitive noise and the sense of crisis that made his hair stand on end for some reason.
“Ah..!”
..The moment I was about to spit out the word Hyun.
Seruk–!
The presence that was obviously 30 steps away came right in front of me.
Iron gruck..!
On the surface of the fog in front of you, a huge human shadow that appears to be 3m tall is drawn.
‘…Sword strike!’
As someone who had learned the sword, Hiro immediately realized that the stance of the shadow was to wield a slash, so he thought he should avoid the two people next to him who couldn’t grasp the situation.
Booooong—!
‘Too fast!’
I realized that I couldn’t save both of them in the sword attack from left to right.
Thump-!
“Wow?!”
Hiro immediately grabs Hong Hye-ji and rolls on the ground.
‘..Ah-hyeon!?’
Even as he widened the distance, his face checked where he was standing just before, trying to ascertain Ah-hyeon’s condition.
Squeak–!
However, in that place, the shape of the shadow that had already finished the sword attack.
Slurr..!
“Ah..! Ahyeon!”
There was a figure presumed to be Ahyeon that split in half and dispersed like smoke.
