Chapter 23 – Episode 23 Regular Exam (1)
“Baek Han-beom?”
Yooara opened her eyes wide without realizing it and looked at Hanbeom Baek.
‘Is that the white man I know?’
Baek Han-bum.
Among the academy entrants this year, there were three promising stars called supernovae.
Lee Kang-san’s younger brother, a world-class tanker, and Lee Hye-ri, who has the fastest speed.
Even before entering the academy, Kwon Jun-hyeok had the experience of clearing the powerful guild ‘Hopan’ and the A-class dungeon.
And Baek Han-beom, a promising tanker who has been selected as the next Korean tanker following Kang-san Lee.
Except for Lee Hye-ri, those two were all very active in Class A.
Of course, a person from a completely different world than Yuara.
If it was Baek Han-beom, he would have to form a team with the members of Class A.
Why are we and the team in Class D… ?
“You must be wondering why we ended up on the same team.”
Baek Han-beom, dressed in iron armor as white as snow, spoke.
“Uh, eh? Oh, no. Haha.”
“I applied because I was curious about Lee Hye-ri and senior Yoo Ara, who beat us all and suddenly took 1st and 2nd place.”
“Ah…”
Baek Han-beom lowered his head.
“Please take good care of me. Seniors.”
“Ah yes…”
Yuara awkwardly nodded her head and accepted his greeting.
You’re a senior
I’m not familiar with this kind of treatment.
However, the rising corners of her lips could not be hidden.
She always said she was a paid student and she was the one who was treated like a loser.
It was a bit strange for her to be treated by someone for the first time, but it felt good.
“The team balance is good. I’m the tanker, Hyeri is the melee dealer, and Yuara is the assistant with telekinesis…”
“No.”
Lee Hye-ri interrupted Baek Han-beom’s words.
“I am the tanker. Don’t try to take my place.”
“… Could it be that you still haven’t abandoned your stubbornness as a tanker?”
“Okay. I got first place as a tanker. I am qualified.”
Baek Han-beom saw Yoo-ara.
“Senior decides. Don’t you know that well How well Mr. Lee Hye-ri did.”
“Me, me?”
“Yes. Do you really think she can tank?”
“… Me, that’s…”
I remembered Yua.
Several gaps were created by Lee Hye-ri, who was not a tanker.
Lee Hye-ri did not have a provocation skill or a skill that blocks wide-area attacks.
Because of that, monsters and cadets immediately ignored the tanker and ran to the dealers.
However, as young as she was, she was able to win first place because she covered herself well.
Okay.
‘Lee Hye-ri is not suitable for being a tank.’
But that’s it.
I know it’s an infant.
How hard Lee Hye-ri is working to become a tanker.
It is an important test.
There was a bet with Kim Si-woo on the test results this time.
Siwoo Kim said that he would listen to anything if he won first place.
‘If I fall outside of 5th place, I recommend my tutoring.’
Somehow I didn’t like that.
She had a desire to monopolize him a little more.
At the same time, I wanted to believe in Lee Hye-ri, a comrade who fought together.
Two conflicting desires swam inside Yooara.
“Yes.”
Yuara nodded her head heavily.
“Is that so?”
“Hyeri can do enough. I believe.”
“Okay. All right. If you say so.”
Lee Hye-ri blew out her nose, strengthening her resolve.
“Then I will go down to the sub tank. The attacks of the various villains we will be dealing with are diverse, so we go with the feeling of enduring the time as much as possible. In the meantime, I will go in the way that senior Yooara rescues ordinary people and opens the way for them to escape.”
“Great.”
I thought the disagreement would be prolonged, but Baek Han-beom unexpectedly withdrew.
“Then, thank you. This second test is broadcast to the general public as a video, so it shows a good side.”
“I see.”
Yooara strengthened her will.
As Baek Han-beom said, the 2nd exam, which is a test against the villain, was released to the general public, unlike the 1st and 3rd exams, which were held privately, and the 4th exam, which was only open to scouts.
The reasons were varied.
It was to show the public how the hunters were trained and tested, and how fiercely they fought.
It was not a problem that the video, which first started as a device to alleviate the conflict between the awakened and the general public, has now become a kind of sport.
There are criticisms that it has now become a kind of showcase for academy cadets to promote themselves, but it was a tradition that is still continuing due to the popularity of the test videos.
“Let’s do our best.”
Group 33 of the newly decided class D looked at each other and strengthened their will.
***
– The cadets are entering.
I devoted myself to training with my cell phone playing in a corner of the training room.
The cadets entered the huge simulation arena with the moderator’s comment that the second exam had begun.
Article 33 of Yuara, the last to enter.
“You were nervous.”
I watched the video while sweating profusely.
The camera focused on the 33rd group, including Yuara.
Yuara and Lee Hye-ri, the main characters who caused the accident of the 1st test.
Her comments skyrocketed with the moderator’s explanation that she, who was her paid student, had suddenly placed second.
-Last year’s failed student placed second?
– Did you feed the money? How is that?
– The academy makes unreasonable heroes again. How can these bastards never change?
-But it’s pretty.
– Bullshit b. Hyeri Lee is better
-Is Lee Hye-ri born? Did Yuara give birth?
-Some low-level aggro.
– You will be sued then.
Innumerable raw chats unique to the Internet went up.
It was fortunate that Yooara did not see such a post.
-Isn’t that Baek Han-beom next to you?
-The combination of Baek Han-beom and Lee Hye-ri is crazy.
-Isn’t it a foul for the two top prospects to be on the same team?
-This is the first place to eat.
-Tell me to get out of the middle of the day. I think Lee Hye-ri got second place in the first test.
-Is the level high? Is the median higher?
-Where is Junwi hahaMipil? Lol
-Stop getting caught in the aggro, you asshole.
-By the way, didn’t you say that Lee Hye-ri was converting to a tank?
-She has that talent and plays a tank? Why?
-Lee Kang-san is smiling.
Baek Han-bum.
There was also a promising tanker that has recently been receiving high expectations.
It was an unexpected team member.
“The team balance is not good.”
There’s no way Lee Hye-ri said she would be a dealer.
A tanker assistant, a professional tanker, and a telekinesis.
It was a combination that lacked a lot of deals.
I wonder if Lee Hye-ri plays an active role as a dealer.
It was clear that he would focus more on rescuing civilians than hunting down villains.
If this goes wrong, Yuara will use poison alone.
“Be good.”
I cheered while watching Yooara on the screen.
You are the student I raised.
My reputation goes up when you do well.
It won’t be easy seeing the team members.
“If possible, get first place.”
I’ll grant you anything you wish for.
I set the condition that if I didn’t get below 5th place, I would publicize my tutoring.
But that was a bit of a penalty on her part.
‘If I intentionally didn’t tell the other kids, it must mean they want to monopolize me.’
It’s not that I don’t understand her exclusivity.
It is said that he passed the first exam with second place, but he was still standing on the edge of a cliff.
The desire to get a little better grade will be great.
So I walked.
A condition she would hate.
But for me, the really good publicity is for Yuara to win first place.
Beating all the talented hunter prospects, and the academy cadets proudly taking first place.
That was the best PR.
“Work hard. Do not break.”
I cheered on Yooara on the screen while swinging my sword.
I don’t know if it’s because of my mood.
Her face seemed to be somewhat relaxed.
[Sincere support is delivered.]
[Passive: The effect of growth support (SSS) is manifested.]
What?
[Additional effects applied to Yoo Ara are manifested.]
[Additional stats are added for a certain period of time.]
[Check the skill linked to Yoo Ara.]
-Muscle growth (A)
-Full Mana (S)
-Youngmin (A)

-Fast stride (S)
[Strength, mana, intelligence, stamina, and agility temporarily increase by 2 levels.]
[Duration: 2 hours]
Hey, look at this?
“If you have something like this, you should talk about it from the beginning.”
***
My body was strangely light.
“What?”
Yuara clenched her fists.
She came in stronger than usual.
How to say
I feel better several times than I felt when I was in the best condition.
It was a condition that could not be explained by just saying that my condition improved.
‘Is it because I practiced hard these days?’
If not, nothing really came to mind.
If I have to point out.
Sleeping with Kim Si-woo’s clothes in his arms to increase his concentration the day before the exam.
I told him that I would wash him, but I kept putting off the laundry because it was a waste, and now I slept holding his clothes like a teddy bear hugging me when I sleep.
She thought it was strange, but she couldn’t help it.
If she did that, she would sleep better.
‘Of course I said I was doing the laundry for you, but…’
She took Siu’s clothes and she remembered what she had done and her face reddened.
“Oh, let’s forget. Forget. Now is the time to focus.”
“What are you forgetting?”
Lee Hye-ri, standing next to her, asked.
“Yes? Ah, nothing! Haha.”
Yua Ra, pricked by her innocent eyes, hurriedly shook her hand.
I can not say.
Tell me how
The day before the exam, he slept with men’s clothes tightly in his arms.
“Araya, your face is red.”
“Why, why is it so hot? Hey, is it because it’s summer? How.”
“It’s cold because the air conditioner is on full blast.”
“Come on, everyone, pay attention. It’s starting soon.”
Baek Han-beom’s words focused Yoo-ara’s mind.
Meanwhile, time was passing.
-Now, let’s start the second test in 10 seconds!
I heard the voice of Professor Park Ji-yoon, who served as the moderator.
-10! 9! 8! 7…
Every time her voice continued, tension began to rise in the scene.
And the appearance of the simulation field has changed.
A city half destroyed by the attack of the villains.
It was a space that reproduced the Chuncheon raid by the Villains Alliance four years ago.
A test task created with the intention of not forgetting the tragedy of that day and moving forward.
Yooara saw Chuncheon, which was created as a simulation.
– Let the exam begin!
After that, the voice of Professor Park Ji-yoon, the moderator, disappeared.
“Kyaaaaa!!!”
People’s screams began to be heard from all directions.
Kwaaang!
I could hear the villain moving in the distance.
“It moves.”
It was a more realistic test than ever.
They moved forward, vigilant in all directions.
