Chapter 37 – Clear the S-Class Gate
“It’s been a while since we’ve seen results like this again.”
A man was looking at the result sheet in the weapons supply room.
==================================
[Target] Baek Tae-yang
[Examination Result] You have the most ideal body an awakened person can have.
If the average Awoken’s physical abilities are a small hexagon, you have a full hexagon.
The notable part is the lower body *$)!
[Recommended Weapon] There is nothing to recommend in particular.
You will have full access to all the weapons you want.
If it doesn’t fit your hand, it’s just a difference in proficiency.
You do not have to doubt whether you are suitable or not.
==================================
“It’s like looking at my physical exam results in my prime.”
Kim Min-soo, who was famous as a warrior, did not come out with such results.
All that was written was that he would become a sword-handling hero.
“There are errors… And it’s unusual.”
It was not a trace that someone intentionally erased.
It really was that the machine had made an error and could not analyze it.
The analytical machine that has been constantly developing since the establishment of Victory Academy is broken.
“I’ll have to see you in person.”
The man looked around the half-empty weapons supply room.
It should be full of firearms and cold weapons, but Baektaeyang had swept it away.
Even though there is no restriction on possession of weapons, I never thought I would take this much.
I started to really wonder what kind of cadet it would be.
“Then I will now…”
“Chairman!”
“What’s going on? I’m not deaf, Ducheol.”
“The F-level gate that the 1st year D class was supposed to go to has been changed to the S-level gate!”
Jang Doo-cheol must have come in such a hurry that there were deep footprints on the floor behind him.
“Have you contacted the opener?”
“Yes, I will come right away.”
“I’ll give you the money later, so call me right away.”
After that, the two didn’t talk anymore.
After a while, two large holes appeared in the ceiling of the Victory Academy.
++++++++++++++++
“You bastard! You are not a knight!”
“No, I’m a knight right?”
“How does a knight handle such a heinous weapon!”
Don Quixote actively approached to close the distance.
Suddenly, the Rocinante springs up from under your feet and even performs proficient horsemanship, which would be very difficult to counter in close combat.
All of these parts were made with Kim Min-soo assuming them.
It must have been fate to wield a spear while controlling the distance with Kim Min-soo, who was holding a sword with perfect horsemanship.
After rolling a few times, he might have defeated Don Quixote with an explosive blow using the power of the [Hero].
“Put down that weapon! If you are a true knight, raise your sword!”
“This is also a knight’s weapon.”
[Activate Self-Defense! Bigger! Strengthen more powerful weapons!]
Pop!
The knight’s magic wand draped over his shoulder spewed out flames and vomited shells.
If it was a normal firearm, there was no way it would be eaten by monsters, but this was a weapon exclusively for the Awakened.
From the point of view of killing ability, it was not comparable to general firearms.
In addition, the firepower enhanced by the effect of the magnetic pillar.
In terms of power, it was comparable to Melanie’s ability.
‘It’s a no-brainer to give distance from the beginning.’
He recalled the conditions window that appeared when he challenged Don Quixote to a duel.
==================================
You have brought out Don Quixote’s true form.
He is so different from the fictional character we know.
But now I have applied for a true knight’s duel!
Maybe we can get him back to normal.
An honorable 1:1 match!
Must win!
[Limiting conditions]
1. There is only one Baek Taeyang who can deal with Don Quixote.
2. Rocinante can intervene.
==================================
Don Quixote was in a dying state, so he thought it would be over with just one last hit.
But as soon as the condition window pops up, isn’t it armed with shiny armor and sharp weapons?
Not all of the wounds had healed, but they had healed enough to turn his face red.
‘I didn’t listen to the coercion properly.’
I raised it to maximum output to finish it in an instant from the beginning.
However, when I tried to increase it to the maximum, it was about 50%, and it was not enough to suppress Don Quixote’s movements.
I had to be satisfied with just making my body heavy.
He thought about taking the bracelet off, but gave up because others could get caught up in it if he couldn’t control it.
After searching for a method that could be used as an elimination method, all that was left was the use of weapons.
“Fight against it, Knight!”
“You’re still fighting.”
“Isn’t that what you mean!”
It would have been stupid to go right into melee when there was a ranged countermeasure.
It was right to use a weapon that could hit as far away as possible.
‘It’s a pity that I don’t have time to reload.’
The downside is that the Rocinante is so fast you don’t have time to reload.
Thanks to this, all firearms are thrown away as soon as they run out of ammunition, like disposable firearms.
It’s easy to accumulate damage as much as possible when you can gnaw it, but it was very disappointing.
“Oh, you’ve finally lifted your spear, knight!”
Don Quixote had lost a lot of strength.
It was a fact that could be known just by looking at the fact that monsters could no longer be created.
‘But Rocinante is too picky.’
Even the coercion didn’t work because it wasn’t treated as a living being.
It was clear that it was treated as a skill of Don Quixote.
It was not as easy as I thought to ignore Rocinante and kill Don Quixote.
No matter how many times he was shot, he was so good at avoiding cooking.
‘After all, is it that I can’t properly damage from a long distance?’
Since Kim Min-soo was the monster he had to deal with, it could have been natural.
Even now, I was throwing a javelin hard, but I couldn’t even brush my hair.
“I’ve finally realized that your tricks don’t work for this Don Quixote de la Mancha!”
It’s been quite a while since I realized this.
It’s just that I didn’t like being foolishly pushed into my body.
“There’s a lot to talk about.”
Why are all the main characters in the novel so talkative?
Maybe it’s because An Fatteng is also the type to talk a lot, so if you want to be a little bit like a main character, everyone talks a lot.
Charrrr
He approached Don Quixote, slowly throwing a chain with a sharp stake at the end.
Since Don Quixote was not an idiot, he was mainly using his spear for containment.
The chain was a bait, and the priority was to get rid of that spear quickly.
“A halberd! That’s cool!”
Just as he was about to shoot Don Quixote’s spearhead with his halberd, Rocinante hurriedly moved backwards.
‘As expected.’
Rocinante is Don Quixote’s skill, but it was an entity that moved independently.
Every time he moved, he deliberately stamped his feet several times to create dust, an action Don Quixote had not ordered.
In other words, the horse put the owner’s safety first and all eyes were on it.
However, at the same time, it was a very contradictory existence that had to follow the owner’s will.
Don Quixote valued chivalry above all else and wanted to taste the romance of clashing weapons.
The owner wants to move forward and the horse wants to get some distance.
Rocinante stepped back to avoid the slow-moving peg chains that Don Quixote hadn’t seen.
However, Don Quixote’s body was leaning forward because he wanted to clash between knights.
Going backwards, Don Quixote could fall off his horse or get hit by his halberd, and going forward, he himself would be impaled on a stake.
When faced with a situation in which either choice was forced, of course, there was only one choice for the horse.
Hooked
“Rocinante!”
A spirit that will not be disturbed even if a stake is driven into its body to protect its owner.
I got a taste for the subject of animals.
‘Anyway, it’s a beast.’
He let go of the chains and immediately reached out and grabbed Ohamma.
[Strike activated! Strong power dwells in both hands!]
With his hand holding his halberd, he continued to fight with Don Quixote.
Don Quixote is wielding spears with both of his hands, so he has no choice but to keep using strong blows to balance his power.
“Come down now, Don Quixote.”
He grabbed hold of the Ohama in his left hand and swung it towards the stake.
Hee hee!
“Cowardly targeting a weak beast! You are not a knight!”
Don Quixote revealed a big gap whenever Rocinante was hurt.
Rocinante tried to fill the gap with his injured body, and that was the beginning of a vicious cycle.
The weak mindset of trying to protect each other catches the ankle.
The spear is cut and the Rocinante can no longer rampage.
He chops up and kneads the bodies of Rocinante and Don Quixote with an ax and a club.
“I’m not like a knight like you said, but neither are you.”
He wasn’t even a true knight.
He was nothing more than a madman who had read knightly novels and fallen for ideals.
There was no way a guy like that would be able to fight properly.
A child who only grew in size after undergoing the overwhelming correction of the S-class gate, that was Don Quixote’s true identity.
“Stop! Stop! You win!”
He began to ugly beg for his life, as if he knew his death was near.
When he begged even though he knew he couldn’t live, a mocking laugh came out of him.
In the original version, it would have ended with dropping the sword.
If it was Kim Min-soo, he could have saved his life out of pity.
“I know, I won.”
I had no intention of respecting the original work, and I was not Kim Min-soo.
He put down his ax and bat and pulled out the greatsword stuck in his back.
[Strike activated! Strong power dwells in both hands!]
I can feel Kim Min-soo’s gaze from afar.
Maybe it was because he used countless blows, but his eyes were full of confidence, not doubt like in Dalian.
‘Yes, this is your skill.’
So what are you going to do?
“Save me! I won’t appear in front of you again! I won’t even call you a knight!”
“Shut up.”
In an instant, the greatsword fell to the ground and Don Quixote and Rocinante were cut in half and died.
It was a conclusion that could have been meaningless if it was futile.
Compared to the momentum that appeared at the beginning, there was no feeling that it was over too quickly.
‘Is it because it’s not my role?’
If the main character couldn’t do it, he might have chosen to end the story quickly.
==================================
Concept :: Classic masterpiece [Don Quixote] Gate clear!
Congratulations.
You cleared the gate confidently despite various illegal interventions!
Differential rewards are made as much as the gate is active!
1. Taeyang Baek
2. Minsu Kim
3. Minjun Lee
4. Melanie
5. Seokgu Kim
Nothing else
=================================
After the message that the gate was cleared appeared, a personal portal appeared in front of each of them.
I thought everyone would run out as soon as the portal opened, but the surroundings were quiet.
‘What?’
When I turned around, everyone was staring at me.
It was very burdensome to receive attention without making any noise.
It made people shrivel up from the look in their eyes, and some were even on the verge of crying.
In my experience, it is wisest to say nothing and get out of the situation.
The moment you get a shower of applause for no reason, your time is uselessly eaten up.
I was going to collect the weapon, but I changed my plan.
I lowered the reward window and moved to the portal.
++++++++++++
“Biri-Biri-Barabura-Boombataya Gate, open it…”
“What is this?”
“…Sesame?”
I was about to get out of the gate and take a break, but an unknown sight was unfolding.
As if the folk village had been moved as it was, several jangseungs were embedded in it.
In the center, a man wearing makeup was dancing, but it didn’t suit him very well.
‘What kind of situation is this?’
It was a mountain beyond a mountain.
This is just nonsense S-Class Gate is so easy to clear, if the dungeon change from F-Class to C-Class gate is still reasonable. If this S class gate them thats me most easy gate of all time, probably around D class strength
*Then thats mean its the most easy gate of all time
