Chapter 9 – 9. Promotion Test
Sigh.
The wooden puppet lifted its head and began imitating the Little Giant’s posture and gait.
The arms are rolled inward, greatly inflating the body, and waddling in an eight-legged gait.
“!!!”
Within a few steps, the guy raised his arms.
A sign that an enemy has been spotted.
If it had a mouth, it would roar now.
I set my sword at an angle and glared at the wooden doll.
‘Let’s take a quick look.’
The guy who came running with a very excited gesture swung his stick to smash my head.
Booung!
I jumped one step back to avoid the attack, but this time a stick swung from the bottom up pursued me.
I hit the wooden sword.
Fuck!
While the stick is stopped, he pulls his body aside.
Immediately, a poorly formed fist flew towards the face. Twist your body to avoid it.
Right after. I swung my wooden sword and took the guy’s straight arm.
“!!!”
He started swinging his club frantically, probably because he was heavily drugged. It’s like a child swinging a tree branch.
‘It’s nothing special.’
He only has arms and legs, but he is no different from a beast. The movements were large and simple, and the strength was not particularly strong.
In short.
‘It’s a fucking meal.’
I threw away the club I was swinging at random and kicked him in the chest. With just that, the wooden puppet’s posture collapsed.
I take a big step forward and strike the sword.
Puck! The guy’s head swayed loudly with a dull sound.
Before I could recover from the shock, my wooden sword hit him in the head once more.
Thud…
A wooden doll that has collapsed and does not move.
Suddenly, I felt his gaze and turned his head, and the academy examiner looked at me and snorted.
I don’t want to hold a cub.
‘That Sybalum?’
You remember my face
I’ll definitely teach you what real ridicule is later. As a bonus, they give me some forced etiquette injections.
He vows revenge and turns his attention to the members who are still fighting.
The man who had been silent and silent had an easy advantage. He looks like he’ll be able to take it down soon, judging by the condition.
Thud.
Just as expected.
As soon as the words were finished, the wooden doll collapsed.
On the contrary
‘I’m so excited.’
The man who spoke to the examiner was making a match between the wooden doll and the soul.
Exchanging blows with each other and practicing ‘Let me see if you die or I die’ is like two little giants fighting.
That’s why it’s very exciting.
Puck! Puck! Puck!!
“Whoa… Whoa… You bastard…”
In the end, it was the wooden doll that fell first.
Academy Chung, who was checking the time, licked his lips in regret and walked towards us.
“The time is the same 5 minutes. If you attack the group members, they will be eliminated immediately. Then…Start.”
As the cooperative battle was about to begin with a more snarky tone, the man who had broken souls shouted.
“You should give me a break, sir!”
Why is that again?
“Where are you cursing? F-class bugger.”
Why is that bastard doing that again?
‘It’s fucking crazy.’
The little wooden puppets stopped, and the Academy Chung approached the man with a murderous expression.
The face of the man who had been making a stern expression just now turned blue.
“If you interfere with the test one more time, then you will be disqualified. Do you understand, F-rank Hunter? If you do, come to the Wall Tower Guild.”
The Wall Tower Guild… It’s a guild I’ve heard of.
The Wall Tower Guild was truly a guild for academies, led by guardians from the academy, and only allowed to enter.
“Kuh…”
“You asked if I knew it!”
“Yes…”
“Ha…Then start again.”
After a brief happening.
When the academy bug gestured as if it were fed up, the little wooden puppets started moving again.
A total of 7 numbers.
They seemed to surround us, and then began to focus their attacks on the man who was greatly intimidated by the academies.
It was one of the habits of goblins, who were considered to be fairly intelligent, to attack the weakest enemies first.
I stepped forward and said.
“Mister, please help me. I’ll take care of these three.”
The silent man ran to Jo Won, who was being attacked without any objection.
I take that as a sign
Puck!!
With his right foot, he stabbed the little wooden doll in front of him in the head.
Later, another little wooden doll brandished a crude club, but before that, my wooden sword struck him in the head.
I immediately turned around without seeing him fall. The last one holding the dagger was about to jump.
“Where?”
It strikes like shaking off a sword.
End with that.
After defeating all three, I joined the members who were struggling. One of the four was already down, so the situation was quickly sorted out.
“The test ends with this. Get out there.”
The academy chung, who announced that the exam was over, pointed to the exit in front of him with a chin gesture.
Really, it’s not cheap at all.
I was thinking of punishing the Wall Tower Guild for a solidarity responsibility, but someone called from behind.
“I thought you were amazing.”
It was Jo Won who was silently taking the test.
I thought I was practicing silently because I didn’t say a word, but did I just keep my words?
“Ah yes. Thank you.”
“It was the same when I first caught the Little Giant, but honestly, I was amazed when he wiped out the goblins in an instant. Maybe you’re older…”
“I’m in my early twenties.”
“Haha, then you are younger than me. I’m 26. By the way, may I ask where Hive is active?”
“Hive? Why are you asking that?”
“Oh, nothing else. If I fail this test, I will also try to hunt there. Do you know, will I become as strong as my younger brother?”
Leaving out? As far as I can see, this guy passed.
I was fine in the solo match, and I did everything I had to do in the co-op match. Even if you enter the E-level gate right now, you can do it for one person.
Unless your party members are trolls.
‘…A little party?’
It’s like suddenly talking a lot, and it’s like secretly digging up personal information.
I hope this person
‘Is it a bus bug?’
Well, if you look at your skills, it’s not that much.
In any case, it was clear that he was betting on a party with me.
‘I’m deeply moved.’
It seems like just yesterday that I was ostracized for being a sewer official, but now someone else is trying to make a party first.
‘But why a man?’
Of course, I had no intention of forming a party even if it was a woman.
Annoyed, I tried to take it off roughly and said any hive.
“Do you know that it is a snake den?”
“Ah, the snake pit! I heard it. Thank you Thanks to you, I don’t have to worry about falling. Next time we meet, I’ll buy you a drink.”
“What do you mean?”
I left the building with a bitter smile.
‘But I wonder where the snake’s den was.’
It’s definitely a real hive, but I don’t know where it is.
‘What do you think?’
After I sent Hunter Talk to Jung Ha-ryun, I took her sword and headed for the anthill.
I was a little tired, but I had no intention of idling around.
‘It’s only because the E-class exam is over.’
There is still a long way to go.
It’s comfortable for Jeong Ha-ryun to earn points even by herself, and it’s also convenient for me.
When I was taking a break after going around the F-level gates so hard, Hunter Talk came just in time from Jeong Ha-ryun, whose exam was over.
– My brother’s exam is over.
-(V-Con)
@Are you okay?
-Yeah! The examiner was surprised. That’s very strong
– He gave me a business card to come to his guild when he goes up to D rank later.
– (I’m not great Con)
@ (Envy Con)
@All I was invited to a party by a strange guy.
@ (Sad con)
-But after the exam, a man from the same group asked me to talk to him and tried to forcefully drag him away.
“…What?”
What asshole dares.
It wasn’t a light thing to talk about with Hunter Talk. When I called, Jeong Ha-ryun answered the phone before the phone even rang.
-Brother.
“Ha-ryeon-ah. Who did what?”
─That’s… Nothing happened until the exam started.
When her exams were over, her blonde man, who was her same crew member, was said to have been waiting for her at her door.
It is said that the bully blocked her way and did not get out of the way until she answered her own questions.
So she had no choice but to answer and leave, but wasn’t this bullying ballum pulling her hoodie from behind and forcing it off?
He even tried to forcefully take off his mask.
‘This Sybalum…’
It didn’t end there.
Terrified, she grabbed her brim hat and her mask with her hands and tried to get out.
─Suddenly, he grabbed my wrist…Where are you going?
As I listened, I felt my anger rising to the top of my head.
The anger that he touched my woman was also anger, but more than anything, the thought of how scared Jeong Ha-ryun must have made my blood boil.
She is still afraid of other people’s gaze. Her shy personality is also intact.
The phobias and personality that had been formed over the years were not something that could be easily improved.
By the way.
A strange man
And how frightened and frightened he must have been because a bully had done such a thing.
If I could, I would have found the bastard right now and cut her limb from limb.
It’s just a pity that I can’t.
“…So what did you do?”
─ I just … Got scared and just waved her arm, and then the person panicked and backed away … I ran to her mother.
She said, “Did you run away? Didn’t she follow?”
─Yes. It didn’t slide.
“I’m glad.”
It must have been because she was surprisingly strong.
She’s really lucky that she’s raised her strength level to 20.
“By the way, didn’t you tell me that bastard was his name or something like his guild?”
─I talked. That…S? Reds? Maybe it was the enemy. It’s not a guild, it’s a clan. And again… Ah! She also said that she would come to the anthill with her clanmates later to catch the queen.
So? That’s right.
She’s coming to get the queen.
Then she wouldn’t have to go looking for it.
That’s because I’ll come after you.
I opened the Hunter app and checked the information of D024 Hive.
‘There is only one queen in the anthill.’
Why is this place, D024 Hive, called an ant nest?
The expected appearance of the E-class hidden gate ‘Queen Ant Cave’ was not far away.
