35 – The dungeon exam goes strangely (1)
Jung Yeon-hee’s eyes were all over the hunters. They were all dressed in plain clothes.
“Hello!”
Yeonhee greeted the hunters in turn. As he said hello, his gaze went to one person.
“Are you a young woman?”
“I’m starting to get bored with girl groups.. Are you by any chance?”
“Are you in the same group as us? Oh, nice to meet you.”
Yeonhee kindly accepted all of their greetings, raising the corners of her mouth from left to right. And said hello to him
“You remember me?”
“I remember. Was it a grocery store? Did we meet there?”
“Nice to meet you. This is how we became a team to explore dungeons.”
“…… Yes.”
The man did not look very happy.
Yeonhee’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
‘What is it?’
Scratch the pride in your heart! Awesome! It felt like a split.
I was always well-study, smart, and pretty, so any man who talked to me first would walk up to me, although I didn’t.
When I usually talk to a guy first, most of them laugh like an idiot.
‘……… ….’
Yeonhee stared at him intently.
He was looking elsewhere.
He didn’t seem to care.
‘Is this the first time?’

“Now, everyone don’t have to worry too much. Because I will accompany you to the dungeon….”
The female assistant said.
The thigh part is straight for easy movement, a torn dress, ponytail, and red glasses.
She was an intelligent woman.
She belongs to the healer class, and her level has reached her 40s.
No matter how difficult the dungeon exploration test was, it was to be accompanied by an assistant in preparation for any unfortunate incident.
“Sir! Do I really have to pick just one of these items? Can’t you have two?”
“Can you give me some tips?”
“Can’t you take the potion too?”
The hunters were bombarding the assistants with indiscriminate questions.
“Whew.”
The assistant lets out an annoyed sigh.
“Where did you hear everything I explained earlier? Did you hear it with your feet?”
The faces of the hunters, who expected kind answers to the questions they threw, hardened instantly.
‘You’re picky.’
‘Oh, wow, are you so irritable? I think I could ask some more questions.’
‘You must be a bit tired, but to have to enter a dungeon with a woman like this… ….’
This is what the hunters thought.
At that time. Siwoon took out an item from her equipment box and asked.
“Assistant. Doesn’t it tell you what kind of monsters appear in the exploration test?”
At Siwoon’s question, the assistant’s face brightened as he crossed her arms and shot at the hunters.
“Oh, that’s a secret. I want to tell you, but these are the rules of this test.”
As the assistant answered, he smiled.
At that moment, the expressions of the hunters except Siwoon all crumpled.
‘What, why are you so kind to that person?’
‘Isn’t this discrimination?’
‘Is that assistant looking at a man’s face too? It’s nasty.’
‘Sheesh. It’s f*cking breaking news for me to gently reply like that to him that he passed the Hunter Qualification Test.’
The gaze of the male hunters naturally moved to Siwoon.
Everyone is full of jealousy and annoyance! It was a look with eyes.
Siwoon was holding a sword and two axes and skimming through the weapons calmly.
***
[Very Old Longsword][Normal]
An old fashioned one-handed sword with a dull blade.
Attack Power: 5

[Beginner’s Wand][Normal]

Retention effect
-Available to use the active skill ‘Heal’.
‘Choose one out of these four….’
Siwoon looked at the four weapons and thought.
In the dungeon exploration test, the condition was that the equipment you possessed could not be used.
So the rule was to choose one of the four given weapons.
It wasn’t just that.
You cannot enter with potions.
Armors and accessories are of course useless.
Siwoon moves his gaze to the staff with green beads in the equipment box.
‘The retention effect is a heal. A weapon for those who want to change their 1st job as a healer.’
That’s right.
Hunters who want to change jobs to combat, swordsman, and ranger classes mainly invest in strength and agility stats before the first job change.
On the other hand, healers and mage-type hunters concentrate on intelligence and wisdom stats, so their strength is low, so their attack power is inevitably low.
To cover it, you can choose a wand with the effect of using a heal.
It was the Hunter Association’s consideration that all hunters pass the exploration test under equal conditions.
“Wow! Is the ax a bit heavy?”
A hunter raised an ax and said to himself.
Dreuk, drug.
The sound of hunters rummaging through equipment boxes and raising weapons continued.
Siwoon chose his weapon without hesitation.
‘The sword is comfortable.’
I keep getting worried about a woman’s gaze.
She is a woman who seems to observe herself with strange eyes.
Well, it doesn’t matter. For now, I was going to focus on the exploratory test.
***
Gulp,
All the hunters are looking at one place with nervous faces.
As I was looking at it, the gate was sitting there.
“Looks like everyone picked out their weapons? Don’t be too nervous. Isn’t it that difficult?”
The assistant’s words went up sarcastically.
Hunters have different weapons in their hands.
Who bows.
Who is the wand.
…… Who else is a king axe?
In the gap in it, Siwoon was holding a shabby longsword and staring at the gate.
There was no sign of nervousness at all.
‘Is there anything to be nervous about? What are my strength stats?’
The assistant inspected the hunters in a concave line and checked that there were no problems, then turned his head to look at the instructor next to him.
“Instructor Kim! Are the coordinates ready?”
“Ja-am, ja-am-kan.”
The instructor replied.
It was a tongue-twisting voice.
The instructor panicked in front of the coordinate device.
“Eww, Instructor Kim! Until what time did you drink last night?”
“To sin, to sin… I love you.”
The assistant looked at the instructor as if he was pathetic.
“Dah, dah… I took it.”
Seeing the instructor losing his senses, the assistant teacher frowned.
“Are you sure you took the exact coordinates? Can I not check?”
At the assistant’s question, the instructor nodded once. Even so, he staggered his legs as soon as he was less sober.
The assistant looked at the instructor and clicked his tongue, then turned back to the hunters.
“The gate will open soon.”
The gate of this academy was a method in which the place was designated through the coordinates formed.
Gulp,
The vocal chords of some nervous hunters moved.
Wheeying!
At the same time as the gate opened, a strong wind blew out.
In the aftermath, the hair of the standing hunters fluttered.
“Now, all you have to do is follow me in one line. Don’t be too nervous because I’m here!”
The assistant entered the gate first, followed by the hunters, who entered the gate one by one with trembling steps.
Shhh!
The door of the gate closed, and the blowing wind disappeared.
“Uh ha ha… I’m dying, oh, I’m lying…….”
Instructor Kim rubbed his chest and retched sitting down.
“Ego, he should have been drinking in moderation. Are you okay?”
A fellow instructor approaches and pats Instructor Kim on the back.
“My vision is staggering now, ooh, ooh!”
“Ehh, man. If you drink like this the day before the exploratory test, how will the hunters look at you? Rather, the coordinates were taken correctly, right?”
“My… I must have filmed it properly, wow-!”
Instructor Kim clears out all the alcohol and snacks he ate yesterday.
The fellow instructor shook his head as he approached his coordinate device.
“What, what?”
My fellow instructor’s eyes became the size of a bell.
“……… Ki, Kyo-gwan Kim.”
“Wow! Cool! Oh, why?”
“Left… What should I do if I take the coordinates like this!!”
Instructor Kim, feeling something serious about his fellow instructor’s voice, hurriedly got up and approached.
“Did I take the wrong coordinates?”
“Now, it’s not just the wrong shot…… Big, it’s a big deal These coordinates…….”
A fellow instructor trembled seriously.
Instructor Kim came to his senses and checked the coordinates of the dungeon he had just taken.
-X:390 Y:222 Z:140
“Ah, ah…ah it happened, damn it!!”
Instructor Kim held his head and hesitated on the spot.
***
“Jomusa, when will the monsters come out?”
The elderly Hunter asked.
The rest of the hunters all looked at the assistant with curious expressions.
“Wait a minute.”
The assistant also felt something strange.
At this point, it should have stayed after the monsters appeared.
A long aisle is visible in front of the assistant’s eyes.
The aisle stretches endlessly.
It was so quiet all around.
‘Why can’t I see the monster?’
Jomusa made the summoned flame in his hand even bigger.
Hwareuk!
The surroundings became brighter.
‘Can’t you see anything? It’s strange.’
The walls and passages in the same shape as the dungeons that usually take the dungeon exploration test were correct.
Strangely, however, monsters do not shine even when they are nose-bleeding.
Furthermore, an unpleasant stench pierced the tip of my nose.
‘Hunters are watching, you have to save face.’
The assistant forced a smile and turned his head.
“It will be out soon. Let’s walk some more.”
“My legs are sore that I’m dying of pain….”
The old Hunter grumbled.
He was Taesik Kim.
I will soon be 58 years old. He was a man who became a Hunter after failing the Hunter exam 24 times over 25 years. He stopped and massaged his leg, as if his joint was hurting.
“……… ….”
The assistant didn’t reply and gave hand signals to the hunters to just walk.
‘How long are you going to walk!’
‘I was tired of walking for 30 minutes… Do I have to walk again?’
‘Ah, my leg must get cramped.’
Hunters were slowly getting tired.
Trumbling-
I walked and walked.
Towards a long aisle with no end in sight.
It was then.
It was Siwoon’s voice that broke the silence.
“Aides, are there any cases where people died during exploration tests?”
“I’ve never had one like that. The assistant follows, but that can’t happen. Why, are you worried?”
The assistant had a smile on his face telling him not to worry.
“There are human bone remains on the floor here.”
“Bone remnants?”
The assistant’s eyes suddenly widened. Following that, the hunters who were listening to the conversation also stopped walking.
Then, he carefully scanned the floor that Siwoon had pointed out.
‘I can’t see anything?’
The floor was clean, without a single bug.
“I don’t have anything?”
“I can see it with my eyes. It’s definitely human bone powder, this.”
The aide tilted his head.
“Bone? I can’t see anything. Do you think your young friend has bad eyesight?”
Taesik interrupted and said.
“You have bones?”
“Where, where?”
After that, the hunters also gathered around Siwoon and observed the floor.
“What, nothing. You were surprised! Why are you scaring me?”
A hunter said to Siwoon as if arguing.
The assistant officer asked Siwoon.
“Can you really see the bone meal?”
“Why would you lie?”
Siwoon answered firmly.
The assistant’s face slowly hardened.
‘This friend… …. According to what I heard from the association, my eyesight is 10 times that of others, no way.’
I was filled with anxiety.
It was then.
Deuddeudeuk!
A huge vibration and a loud noise came from behind.
“Oh, what a surprise!”
“What are you talking about?”
“Sir! I hear a noise from behind.”
The assistant hurriedly moved his gaze back.
From far behind, I heard a loud vibration and the sound of something moving.
“Aides sir!!”
Lee Si-woon hurriedly shouted.
“Why is that?”
The assistant turned his head toward Siwoon.
“A wall from the entrance we walked through is coming towards us!”
“What, what?”
The assistant reflexively moved his gaze back.
‘A roar is getting closer, but I can’t see anything.’
Siwoon hurriedly exclaimed.
“I can see it with my eyes! Don’t stop and go forward. The wall is moving towards us.”
‘…… The walls are moving?’
‘What are you talking about, that guy?’
‘I can’t see anything with my eyes?’
Hunters also started to panic behind the assistant’s eyes widened.
In the gap, Yeon-hee stared at Si-woon, who was trying to hurry.
‘How do you determine that the sound is the sound of the wall moving?’
Yeonhee patted Siwoon on the shoulder as he was walking hurriedly.
“Hey… How can you be sure of that? I can’t see anything with my eyes.”
“Your eyes won’t see it, but mine sees it. My eyesight is 13.0.”
“……… Yes?”
Isn’t it said that the strength stat was 85 last time?
Isn’t it said that your eyesight is 13.0 This time?
From noble mtl dot com
It was a nonsense story.
“Hey… !”
Yeon-hee wants to talk more to Si-woon.
“Rye, it’s a wall! It’s coming our way!”
A hunter shouted.
Following…
“You have to run!”
“Ah! What is that? There is such a device in the exploration test?”
In an instant, there was an uproar.
The tip of Yeon-hee’s jaw trembled as she was surprised.
‘Really? For now… !’
Yeonhee also started running.
***
“Ha ha ha!”
The hunters were running with tears in their eyes.
The assistant was no different.
Bite your lips hard,
I ran and ran.
Toward the endless aisle.
A huge wall is pushing up from behind. What if that wall came crashing into the Hunters? It was clear that the end of the dungeon and the wall would meet, and everyone in between would become rats.
“Everyone, don’t panic and run. Soon…… Soon, something will come out.”
The assistant said. However, she, like the other Hunters, was panicking.
She knew her too.
That something is wrong.
‘You shouldn’t show it.’
The assistant was trying hard to stay calm. In this situation, it was clear that the hunters would be shaken if she showed embarrassment even herself.
Hunters were almost full of tired faces.
Cheap!
Someone fell while running.
It was Taesik.
“Ouch, I am dying…. I can’t run anymore.”
The assistant bowed in front of Taeshik and put out his back.
“Get up.”
“Ha ha ha… Do you think you can carry me and run?”
“Sure! Come on up.”
Taesik climbed on the assistant’s back and wrapped his arms around her neck.
Jomusa is a woman who is inevitably weaker in strength and stamina than men, but she is different here.
This is another world, and her level and strength stats are higher than other hunters.
Except for ‘one person’ she is.
“Everyone, let’s run without stopping!”
The assistant manager shouted while running with her baby on her back.
She ran and ran to the depths of the dungeon.
“Look over there!”
Everyone’s eyes moved at the hunter’s cry.
“Mom!”
“…… What?”
“Jo, assistant? Is that…?”
The hunters stopped on the spot and sent her gaze to the assistant.
With eyes eagerly hoping for the assistant’s words to fall.
“… Am I dreaming?”
The assistant looked in front of her and couldn’t contain her astonishment.
There.
Something very frightening stood in their way.
