Chapter 27 – Field Training (3)
A container office next to an abandoned building where students trained.
Five instructors were checking CCTV screens and scoring in real time.
This class covers only pass and non-pass.
If you receive a non-pass today and fail the re-challenge, you will be expelled.
Write a memorandum stating that you will never use your power as an Awakener in society.
“The speed of clearing Article 7 is amazing.”
“Mr. Choi Da-hyun did almost everything himself, so he can’t evaluate other students.”
“The other members just play non-pass.”
Among the scoring instructors was Kim Si-young.
She kept her silence throughout.
I just followed the opinions of other instructors.
However, I was a little concerned about Choi Da-hyun’s appearance.
During the ‘individual battle simulation’, I wasn’t too impatient.
However, today, I focused on speed, even making small mistakes in the middle.
‘Because I’m nervous because of Daeseung Gong?’
Even Instructor Kim Si-young, who wasn’t very keen on dating, quickly noticed Choi Da-hyun’s love feelings.
Choi Da-hyeon likes winning in the field.
That’s huge too.
But why couldn’t he organize a party?
It was hard to imagine that he would have turned down the engineering win.
He wasn’t even professing love, and he didn’t seem like he couldn’t make the party proposal itself.
‘Anyway, it’s an opportunity when the western guild doesn’t know about Daeseung Gong.’
The fact that the West Guild recruited Seong Ju-hyeok by using their own daughter as bait was known to all high-ranking officials in his upper guild.
Seong Joo-hyeok’s crushing defeat against Gong Dae-seung rather poisoned it, but it is unknown what the western guild will do after recognizing the value of Gong-dae-seung.
Before the Western Guild approaches Gong Dae-seung, they must first get him to sign the contract.
The field instructors filled the abandoned building with monsters and Team 8 entered.
Then Article 9, Article 10, Article 11, Article 12…
It just passed through without any noticing.
‘What about Group 13 with Gong Dae-seung?’
I looked more carefully than the others.
If he put his mind to it, this easy training could be done in the blink of an eye.
But he went in the direction of cooperating with another student.
That’s why he didn’t look much different from other Joes on the outside.
… Rather, it seemed to be a group that fell behind because of Do Hyun-woo and the place rate.
“The 13th group is already infighting and the formation is collapsing.”
“I think everyone is non-passing.”
The other instructors shook their heads.
Instructor Siyoung Kim was the first to speak.
“Let’s wait a little longer. In particular, when looking at the workhorses of engineering students, they tried to protect the ears of students Do Hyun-hoo and Jang So-yul. Maybe the Gong Dae-seung students are the core of Article 13.”
“Hmm… Well, if Instructor Kim says that much.”
Most instructors are grade B.
Among the instructors, active-duty A-class was extremely rare.
Therefore, instructor Kim Si-young’s opinion had a strong influence within the current academy.
Looking at the CCTV screen, after the two two-person parties fought, only the Gong Dae-seung and Yi-rin parties battled.
But rather, the 4 of us went out to subdue the first floor faster than when we fought together.
The second floor, which was slightly more difficult, went on without a moment’s delay.
“Instructor Kim is right. Even if Do Hyeon-woo and Jang So-yul grabbed the ankles of Engineering Dae-seung and Lee Rin, I think they caught on too much.”
“Then, Do Hyeon-hoo and Jang Ji-yul pass non-pass, and Engineering Dae-seung and Lee Rin pass.”
The instructors’ evaluations also changed quickly.
In the eyes of Instructor Kim Si-young, even now, Dae-Seung Gong seemed to be saving his strength.
To be precise, the feeling that Irin, a party member, is also considerate in order to make something happen.
A person with a high desire for improvement wouldn’t be that pleasant to just sit still on a bus driven by someone else.
– Do you have plans for this Sunday?
-No, no. Why all of a sudden
A microphone was also attached to the CCTV in the abandoned building.
The conversations of the team members were then transmitted to the scoring room as it was.
“It’s a good time.”
“Wouldn’t the two of you go on Sunday and come back as three?”
Haha, the instructors laughed out loud.
Except for Kim Si-young.
‘Is Lee Rin going to be active as well?’
No matter how familiar she is, she is a woman, so she even dragged in Catherine, who would be awkward from a woman’s point of view, and asked her out on a date.
Considering the fact that she was the first to party with the engineering major, she could never take Yi-rin lightly.
Maybe she’s a woman to care about more than Choi Da-hyun.
While thinking deeply, Do Hyun-woo and Jang Ji-yul of Team 13 started to quarrel.
Dae Seung of Engineering simply shook his head and walked out of the second floor.
Gong Dae-seung and Lee Rin broke through the second floor at high speed.
The instructors were amazed.
“That familiar is amazing, really.”
“I would have thought he would have won the jackpot if I asked what kind of familiar he was in these days.”
“But no matter how familiar you are, it’s your own strength, but to be honest, without a familiar, I don’t think there’s anything special about being an engineering student.”
Instructor Kim Si-young was very surprised by the one-sided thinking of her other instructors.
She wondered if she couldn’t get any higher in the B class because of this.
It is true that Catherine is a great familiar.
Does that mean that Gong Dae-seung has no power?
That’s not it.
The higher the level of monsters, the more difficult it is to make an obedience contract.
Because it is difficult to satisfy the needs of high-ranking monsters.
In the first place, it is impossible to even summon high-ranking monsters with a fair amount of magical power.
Gong Dae-seung summoned a humanoid monster that was estimated to surpass a high-ranking monster with vast magical power, and succeeded in making an obedience contract.
That satisfies the needs of such beings.
Not immediately understanding the meaning of it made Instructor Kim Si-young look at the other instructors pitifully.
‘But I don’t need to tell you anything.’
Even if you let me know, the competition will only increase.
A chance when few people know his true worth.
It was Kim Si-young who thought it was rather fortunate that all the other instructors were in this situation.
***
Kill all the monsters on the 2nd floor and go up to the 3rd floor.
There was only one monster on the 3rd floor.
One that looks like a boss monster.
A huge bear covered in brown fur looked at us with red eyes.
A C-class high-ranking monster.
It was a ‘cannibal grizzly’.
“Me, over there. Whatever, we’ll do it again.”
Do Hyun-woo tried to sneak in front of me.
But I refused.
“Interrupted.”
“Bar, interrupt? I?”
“Your girlfriend too.”
They seemed to think that if we continued like this, Irin and I would catch all the boss monsters.
Actually, it was just the two of us trying to take it down.
This couple doesn’t need a real party…
This time, Jang Sang-yul came next to me and said in a slightly charming voice.
“We made a mistake earlier, huh? Can’t you let go of my anger? I’ll buy you a meal with Hyunwoo and me later!”
… Even if it’s just a meal, it won’t be that expensive.
First of all, I don’t want the real thing because I don’t like cash.
Unless you tell me in advance that you can resell it.
“No. And it’s not very cute, so don’t pretend to be cute.”
“What, what?”
Lee Rin laughed and said to Jang Ji-yul and Do Hyun-woo.
“You don’t like Daeseung. What are you doing, it won’t come back.”
“”…””
For some reason, Iljin force appeared.
So I asked.
“Irene.”
“Huh.”
“Were you Iljin in middle and high school?”
“I?! I’ve always been a criminal after all?!”
It didn’t look like it.
Anyway, I wanted to finish the training by quickly killing the bear in front of me.
… I was more tired of dealing with Do Hyun-woo and Jang Ji-yul than fighting monsters.
Give Choi Da-Hyeon and Lee-Rin a 10-minute massage each and receive a goddaughter named Katrin as a reward.
“Err…”
The man-eating grizzly made a low-pitched noise.
If it wasn’t for the Awoken, it was a pretty scary sound that would make you pee just by encountering it.
The biggest feature of the man-eating grizzly is its tough and thick hide.
In other words, it is difficult to inflict damage with a clumsy attack.
I cast a skill while staring at the bear’s face.
‘Three thousand times the pain.’
“Kwu-.”
As soon as I applied the skill, I started to hear the sound of suffering.
However, an unexpected attack came out.
It just randomly swung its front paws.
With a thump, every time the bear’s foot slammed into the ground, the concrete floor of the building dented and shards splattered.
I bet 3000 times my sight and hearing on Irin.
Irene gave a slightly surprised expression.
“It’s my skill effect. Avoid well.”
“Ah, yes!”
The bear continued to attack randomly, even though the pain in its paws must have been considerable.
No, if you look closely, it was so painful that it was close to feeling like a child making a fuss.
It’s so powerful that it’s intimidating.
He thought he should cast more skills on the bear.
What is the feeling that keeps you still?
As a result of research with Professor Jeong Na-jeong the other day, some of the senses that can be controlled by skill include emotions.
‘Lethargy, helplessness, defeat, despair 3000 times.’
Once you’ve beaten it all up.
Because I can’t test each one right now to see which ones are effective.
If the bear doesn’t feel helpless, powerless, defeated, or hopeless right now, then it’s meaningless.
0 times 3000 is 0.
There must be at least 1 to be effective.
“Kikki…”
The man-eating grizzly stopped.
Then he sat down in his seat and let out a cry that sounded like he was crying.
“Irene, Catherine.”
“”Huh!””
Irin drew the bowstring.
Katrin extended her arms forward and circled them.
Five arrows were prepared for Irin’s bow.
Inside the circle Katrin drew, a magic circle formed, and countless long, sharp pieces of ice were created.
Both men fired arrows and ice cubes at the bear, respectively.
“Chur-!!”
It was also tough and thick leather, so it didn’t die easily.
Both Irin and her Katrin fired two more times, suffocating her.
Still, the boss monster subjugation was completed within 1 minute.
I thought it might be a pretty good achievement.
Of course, I could ask Katrin to shoot a pair by herself, but it’s also important to work with Leerin, a member of the party.
“Can we go back to the first floor now and leave the building?”
“No, there is a slide here.”
“… Slide?”
In the corner of the third floor, there was an entrance to a yellow slide that you would see in a playground.
I rode in the lead and went down.
It felt like going back to my childhood.
An instructor stood at the exit of the slide.
Once they all stood side by side.
Then the instructor cleared his throat and said.
“Gong Dae-seung and Lee Rin pass. Do Hyun-woo and Jang Ji-yul are non-passers.”
Do Hyeon-hoo and Jang So-yul sighed deeply and then started fighting again.
Not wanting to hear the noise, I quickly left the spot.
Today’s class ended with this.
“Mr. Daeseung!”
Choi Da-hyun found me and came running.
It seemed like he wanted a massage right away.
Together with Lee Rin and Choi Da-Hyun, I set foot on the path from the parade ground to the dormitory.
But then two other women appeared in front of me.
“Gongdaeseung student.” “Gong Dae-seung junior.”
The person standing on the left is Instructor Siyoung Kim.
… The one on the right was a third-year senior she had never seen before.
A senior with blue hair said to Instructor Kim Si-young.
“Instructor, are you still on duty?”
“It’s okay because I’m currently replenishing the monsters. I do my own thing.”
Instructor Kim Si-young took my left hand and spoke to her.
“Would you mind if I talk to you for a minute?”
My senior in 3rd grade also held my right hand and talked.
“Junior, I have something to tell you seriously. How about I give you 500,000 won?”
“Then I will give you 1 million won.”
“I’ll give you 1.5 million won.”
“Two million won.”
“2.5 million won.”
“Three million won.”
… No, no auction.
