Chapter 99 – Dalian
Seong-il thought that he was being arrested for assault because he beat Ko Young-tae so mercilessly. The health center staff responded with a bitter smile, as if they had read his concerns.
“Anyway, it was an accident that occurred during ‘Dalian’. Since the state forcibly imposed classes on students, the state also has responsibility. Crucially…”
“…Certainly?”
“Because Seongil-gun is a non-combatant. In the case of a non-combatant overpowering a combatant, about a third of them were exonerated…”
“…And the other three?
“It’s the professor’s fault. He couldn’t control the situation.”
“Ah… Then is it not my fault…?”
A public health center worker answers with a smile at Seongil’s words.
“Generally? Well… It has been like that until now. It’s probably right. Usually, when you’re here, you come across a lot of similar incidents.”
“Ah… Thank you…”
“Would you like to be seated? I had to tell Professor Wooyoung Cho that Seongil-goon had woken up…”
“Ah..! Yes!!”
When the public health center staff left to contact Professor Woo-Young Cho, Seong-il began to reflect on the hot energy he felt when he passed out.
‘What was the energy you felt when you fainted? It seems like I went into a blackout after running around my body like crazy.’
“For a moment!!”
A holy day that suddenly came to mind.
He quickly took out his smartphone and used his 『Game Master』 Ability to open his status window.

※ General Review: You are doing well. (It’s kind of silly, but…)
‘Overall this bastard is really…’
The encouragement and sarcasm of the general review that stands out as soon as you turn on the game master. It was Seongil who was in a good mood thanks to such a general review, but soon calmed down and began to take a good look at the status window.
‘Uh…? Have your abilities increased significantly? What is magic in particular that has grown so much…?’
Seong-il is filled with joy at the sudden increase in ability. Let’s look at the status window again…
‘Uh…!! Heaven, Earth, Yin-Yang, 4 stars!?
“Awesome!! Awesome!!”
Seong-il confirmed that the color ball he had been longing for had finally reached 4 stars. He rose from his seat with joy, thought to roar.
‘When I passed out earlier, was the energy that ran rampant in my body my own? The reason for the runaway was because the internal energy increased from 3 to 4 stars?’
And then, I thought about Seong-il.
He shook his head and thought again.
‘No. It doesn’t make sense to feel pain just because you’ve been promoted to 4 stars. Neither has Saekma ever told me that there were such side effects. Then what was the pain?’
Seong-il recalled the time that had passed while worrying so much.
And one thought pops into his head.
‘It’s because of the five desires and seven emotions training method!! It was a side effect caused by the outrageous emotions such as anger and hatred after losing reason while taking revenge on Ko Young-tae earlier!!’
‘Originally, I should have fallen into the main fire and become a crippled person… But luckily. Because I succeeded in defeating my long-cherished nemesis, Go Yeong-tae, it worked in a positive way and my sack ball rating went up!!’
The intense pain and warm energy I felt when I passed out. And Seong-il, who figured out the correlation between the grade rise of the color ball. He thought, thanking his luck.
‘I was lucky. If I hadn’t been able to control my emotions in a defeated state… Just thinking about it is terrifying.’
Seong-il felt a chilling fear when he thought of an emergency. He sat on the edge of the bed in a cold sweat, absent-mindedly.
“Hmm? Seongil-kun, did it happen already?”
Professor Cho Woo-young appeared in front of Seong-il’s eyes.
When he appeared, Seong-il got up from his seat and bowed his head.
“Welcome! Professor.”
“Ah… Yes. Are you feeling well?”
“Yes. Thanks.”
Seong-Il’s way of speaking was thorny at the word ‘thanks to you’.
At his tone, Jo Woo-young gave a fishy smile and started answering.
“Ohhh… Seongil-gun doesn’t seem to like that I dried you?”
“No way~ However, it’s only because I felt it was really fair for you to calmly watch me when I was beaten in the past, and then subdue me right away when I was in the upper hand.”
Professor Cho Woo-young, who smiles even more deeply at Seong-il’s sarcasm. Then he began to answer again.
“That’s it. Before that, you and other students wouldn’t have been seriously injured or killed even if I didn’t stop it, so it was like that.”
“…?”
When Seong-il looked at him with a puzzled look, Professor Cho Woo-young frowned slightly and continued.
“It’s literally. If I hadn’t stopped you this time, Go Yeong-tae would have been beaten to death by you.”
“…!!”
“It’s because you lost your reason and ran out of control, and you couldn’t see the facts objectively. Judging from your attitude, you seem to have the misunderstanding that you defeated a moderate number of Youngtae forces… According to what I understood from a third party’s point of view, At that time, the power of the fist you hit Youngtae-kun was close to that of a 2nd-class body strengthener.”
“…Isn’t that enough?”
“No. That’s right. That’s because Go Yeong-tae broke through the defense of his body-enhancing ability, which had increased its output to the maximum, and turned his face into mush with one punch.”
“That’s because he was careless…”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
“…”
Professor Cho Woo-young looks like he’s annoyed at Seong-il’s excuses. That’s what he said.
“Do you think I’m stupid? I’m a professor and a first-class hunter! There aren’t even 100 people in Korea!! Do you think that I couldn’t see through your ability?”
“Ah… Um… Sorry.”
Seong-il lost his cool and forgot about his history due to his ill feelings towards Professor Woo-Young Cho. That’s what he thought to himself.
‘I forgot the beggarly personality of the devil’s bastard. Just shut your mouth and say, ‘Yes, I’ll do it.’
“It’s okay. I’m not here to reprimand you. I’ll ask you honestly. When did you wake up?”
Seong-il began to worry about his words.
‘What should I say? First of all, the contents of 『Game Master』 Are hidden unconditionally. When an extremely rare world-based ability like 『Gamemaster』 Is revealed to the world, I will be 100% free and half enslaved. Therefore, the 『Game Master』 Must never be exposed to the outside world.’
‘Then, what should I do to pass the situation over by making excuses to the devil’s son…’
Seong-il, who had been thinking about it for a long time, began to answer him by making up lies based on the situation and the day he first awakened to Game Master.
“It was… Maybe last Friday…? I think it was when I got home from class.”
“…What was the situation?”
“Well… It’s nothing special, I was thinking, ‘How nice it would be if I could wake up as a person with combat abilities instead of a non-combat person.’ The world suddenly turned blue and I felt a lot of pain in my body.”
“Hmm… It’s a sign of awakening.”
Seong-il nodded at Professor Cho Woo-young’s words and continued.
“Yes. I think so too. Anyway, the pain came and I passed out for a moment.”
“…Is that all?”
“Of course not. I didn’t think the situation that happened to me was normal, so I looked at what happened to my body first. After that, it seemed that the body’s physical strength was stronger than before.”
“Hmm… I see. Then why didn’t you immediately report it to the school or government office?”
“…First of all, it was a weekend, so the situation was ambiguous to report. Also, before reporting, if this power was real, I wanted to legally apply for ‘salal’ with Ko Yeong-tae, who had sparred before.”
“Hmm…”
Professor Cho Woo-young glared at Seong-il with a suspicious expression. Seong-Il also frowned at him and started replying furiously.
“Can I speak frankly?”
“…?”
“Since that bastard was persistently harassing me with the excuse of sparring, I also wanted to eat some shit. To do that, of course, I had to hide the 2nd awakening from people around me. He wouldn’t have looked so careless.”
“Hmm… You wanted to retaliate against that friend?”
“Yes.”
“Right.”
“…?”
Professor Cho Woo-young, who organizes the situation casually. Seong-il, feeling embarrassed by his behavior, asked a question.
“I…”
“…?”
“Usually in this situation, shouldn’t you scold me…?”
“Why?”
“…Since he tricked the professor and beat up his motives, of course hehe…”
“Okay. I’ll judge that. It’s none of your business.”
‘Such a bastard…’
Seong-il is furious with his cruel and irresponsible attitude, which shows no educator’s attitude. He desperately suppressed his anger, swallowed the curse, and shut his mouth.
‘Anyway, the opponent is a first-year advisor and a top-ranked hunter in Korea. Am I the only one who loses if I have to fight for nothing? Let’s be patient here. And see you sometime.’
Seong-il is grinding his teeth inside.
Professor Cho Woo-young got up from his seat and answered.
“Yes.. I roughly figured out the situation. Yo, now you’ve acquired the superpowers of the body strengthening system, right?”
“Yes? Yes…”
“Hmm… Then you’ll have a dungeon exploration class sooner or later. Be aware of that.”
“…A dungeon exploration class?”
“Yes. Because it is the duty of those with combat system ability to go into the dungeon periodically and clear the inside. You will also be put into the operation. Of course, you, a student, will be put into the lowest grade, around 9th grade, and an experienced 3-4. You will become a group with the grade level, gain experience, and proceed with subjugation like a class.”
‘Fuck it, I see…’
Structures built by aliens. The so-called ‘dungeon’ is a dangerous structure composed of 10 major classes.
A dungeon consisting of a total of 10 levels, from the lowest level, 9th grade, to the highest level, 0th grade.
When a “Core” Created by an alien civilization is installed in a specific area, the “Core” Distorts the surrounding space and transforms it into a dangerous area.
Whether it’s distorting the laws of physics, creating a factory that makes bioweapons, and projecting the produced weapons to the outside…
Because of this, the government desperately wanted to get rid of the dungeons in sight.
Since dungeons and their “Cores”, Which are transcendental structures with no substance, can only be attacked by psychics, when dungeons appeared, the government tried to subdue them as quickly as possible by convening hunters or commissioning the Hunter Association.
The problem was that “Cores” Appeared faster as time went by, so the government implemented a risk rating system and tried to destroy the dungeon by convening even students with weak “Cores” That did not require experienced hunters.
Instead, we attempted to remove dangerous grade dungeons by handing them over to hunters with appropriate abilities.
‘Well… At level 9, it’s said to be at the level of beating a goblin in terms of a game…’
‘Still, as soon as the awakening is discovered, you say that you will be put in right away. Isn’t this a little too much?’
While Seong-il was cursing the government in his heart, the public health center staff from earlier approached and asked Seong-il.
“Sungil-kun. Is there any place where your body hurts more?”
“Yes. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
“Then you can go home right away.”
“Ah… Yes! Thank you!”
“Yes! I worked hard~”
Seong-il thanked her for seeing her off and went home.
‘It’s a dungeon… It’s just that ‘Cheonji Yin-Yang Intercourse’ is a 4-star hit, so there’s no big problem even if you don’t mix flesh with another woman for more than 10 days, so it’s possible enough. I don’t know if I should say this went well… Or not…’
‘Still, I succeeded in taking my old revenge, and I should be happy because I raised my color ball to 4 stars.’
Seongil thought so, after she returned home, she lay in bed and thought.
‘What can I do… I must have taken revenge. Shall we go back to the game world? Or should I try to look around the dungeon for experience…? Neither of them seems to be particularly bad.. Hmm..’
