I didn’t deny Maegoo’s words.
Of course, that’s not the only reason.
There was a calculation that revealing my skills would be helpful for future development.
“I want the weakest people to come.”
[Are you planning on committing a massacre?]
“Because that would make it worthwhile. I don’t think my skills are good enough to win a head-to-head fight with a sophomore.”
[It sounds like you’re saying that if you don’t fight head-on, you’re unlikely to lose no matter who your opponent is.]
“Even if there are a lot of them, if you try to defeat them individually with guerrilla warfare, you won’t be out of luck.”
That’s why I said I was in charge of the forest alone.
And it takes a little bit of a bet with Baek Yu-ri, but even if I lose, it won’t have any effect on the freshman’s victory.
If possible, I plan to defeat all the sophomores who will come here and move to defend this place.
If you fight against some bad match seniors, including Baek Yu-ri, you won’t be able to win.
I decided not to show all my skills in this team event.
‘The other side won’t do their best either, but the disadvantages won’t change.’
If it’s after a surprise attack with a geographical advantage, it’s still worth trying.
3 to 1 after that. Or, if a 2v1 situation arises, it won’t be easy to run away.
[If it’s for victory, you’re the one who doesn’t choose any means or methods.]
“I also care about means and methods.”
If you use unethical and inhumane methods, you will be able to become stronger faster than you are now.
But I covered the means and methods.
No matter how much this is a world in a novel, I will not cross the minimum line I have drawn.
I know the words of someone who crossed that line and gave up being human.
‘I’m not going to become a monster.’
[I don’t think it’s something to say in front of a monster.]
‘I’m covering the means and methods, so I’m treating you like a human being.’
[There are some complaints about the treatment, but you are definitely treating the original woman as a human being.]
Those who fight monsters must be careful not to become monsters themselves in the fight.
Killing monsters is always a man’s job, a hero’s job.
She, who was once a monster, would know best.
‘Shall we end this story here? It’s about time.’
[Nevermore-there was no one.]
I covered my body with a handful of darkness.
The promised 10 minutes have passed.
will arrive soon
the enemy I have to face.
These are prey that must be hunted.
1st gate – Dosan (刀山).
Gate 2 – Fire bath.
open door.
I opened the two doors in succession, feeling the moderately heated mana circuit in my body.
Mana that runs rampant through circuits according to the output of the amplified mana.
In this group exhibition, it was decided to open only two.
Depending on the situation, I would like to open one more.
‘The other side of their foreheads must be the one they’re hunting.’
Unfortunately, this year’s first graders are not the prey of the second graders.
If Yerin Cho, the senior in the second year, would have been there, things might have been a little different.
If she went to school, there’s no way she wouldn’t be known.
‘I guess he’s working hard on his schedule to somehow make time for tomorrow.’
Therefore, the current 2nd year’s greatest strength is Baek Yu-ri, who is in the second place.
Next comes Chiron Einar, the Deputy Chief of the Archery Department, who was not fatally injured thanks to a different flow from the original work.
Lim Jin-wook has a bad relationship with Anton.
I can only name the Romeo and Juliet couple who came out of OT and stood in the way of Namgung-Ik.
They’re not the kind of people you’d really want to find and deal with, but if you came all the way here, I wouldn’t hesitate.
It doesn’t matter if you lose
It will be an experience of its own.
‘Of course it’s better if I win.’
I am the fog that fills the forest.
The senses were amplified along the darkness that lay beneath the fog.
At least in this forest, I can’t escape my senses.
‘Check the flag position as well.’
It was hidden at the base of a tree, but it was easy to find because it was hidden in such a dark place that was hard to find.
Waiting for the prey to enter the trap for some time.
‘You’re here.’
I began to feel the presence of the prey who had stepped into the trap.
A total of eight.
And the eight were divided into two groups of four and were moving.
It seems to move by dividing the numbers honestly.
“Eight is a bit too many.”
[Even now, run away with a tail. Are you thinking of calling in reinforcements?]
“I just said a lot. You didn’t tell me that far.”
[You seem very confident.]
“Because it’s one of the few good opportunities to put your skills to the test, where you can safely experience real combat.”
no risk of death
It is designed to be taken out immediately if fatally injured.
There are so many plates, so there is no reason to speculate.
Hunt all eight.
‘Then between the two… Shall we start with this side?’
Two groups enter the forest.
The weaker of the two is dealt with first.
Originally, it is logical to hunt and eat weak individuals that have separated from the herd.
Of course, it’s just a matter of order.
Both are going to hunt, though.
「Sub Quest – The Bottom Line」
Defeat as many sophomores as possible in team matches.
-Compensation: Differential payment according to performance.
I put on the darkness and ran through a dark forest with a thick fog.
After running like that for a while, I could clearly feel the presence of the four.
* * *
I kept my distance and hid in the shade of a tree to observe the four of them.
‘Fortunately, the other side didn’t seem to feel my presence.’
Two boys with swords and a girl with a spear.
And even a boy with a cane.
It was a standard four-member party that was somehow well balanced.
‘Hunt slowly one by one.’
I am confident in running away against four, but defeating them is another matter.
I’m not strong enough to be able to attack from the front and take on four second year seniors at the same time.
However, if it is one person, it is enough to take advantage of the terrain and surprise advantage.
Black did not pull out.
Although sneaking up behind his back and dropping his neck with a sword is the easiest way to do it.
After the safety device prevents fatal injuries, it is a structure that is disposed of with destruction.
In the short time during which a series of processes will take place, an unknown senior may make unnecessary noises.
‘Even if there is a safety device, Maegu’s ＜Suction＞ ability might become a problem if he uses the urethra.’
A safety device is always a safety device.

Just as seat belts do not perfectly protect you in a car accident, they only replace fatal damage once.
Like the goblin, all the water and moisture from the body will be sucked in, so it won’t turn into a mummy.
I don’t know what kind of adverse effect the ＜Absorption＞ ability, which is stronger than before, could have.
‘In the same vein as the opening of only the second door, there are also some things that I do not want to use in group exhibitions.’
[The original woman is a secret weapon.]
secret weapon. It’s not wrong, but the bigger reason was that it was a bit like using a hideous blood-drinking sword.
At the end of the sophomore party, I overheard the conversation between the four.
“I don’t think the forest was so foggy last year.”
“Yeah, it seems like every time a little adjustment is made to the terrain. I never thought I would add this thick fog.”
“It is not an ordinary fog. It’s mixed with magic, so it’s interfering with the search using magic and the activation of magic.”
The woman with the cane said so.
As a wizard, it seems that he is greatly affected by the fog.
‘That’s good.’
It was the same with Yoo Hyeon-hwa, but dealing with wizards is tricky.
To be precise, it is uncomfortable to deal with someone who can attack indiscriminately from all directions.
No matter how well you hide, you can’t help it if you destroy everything around you.
“It’s uncomfortable because of the fog, and the first year is the same. No, they must be more bothered by this fog.”
“exactly. In the first semester, you probably haven’t had a class on geography yet.”
Unfortunately, that reasoning is wrong.
In the first place, the premise that this fog was created by the instructors adjusting the terrain was wrong.
‘The man at the back seems to be the leader of this party.’
The wizard is being moved to the herpes protected by the other three.
Apparently, the view was limited by the fog, so it must have been judged that the advancing side would be safe from a surprise attack if one was alert at the end.
[Of course, you’re going to target that guy first, right?]
‘Aiming for the wizard is also a good option, but aiming for the commander’s neck first will be advantageous in the fight later.’
I slowly approached behind the male student’s back.
Then, she sent her magical energy to the Kowloon Shinhwajo, which was worn like a bracelet on her wrist.
‘This will be the first actual use of this.’
A thin, sharp chain stretched out from the Kowloon Mythology.
Then I rolled up the freshly made chain in my hands and held it tightly.
My place is on top of a tree.
At the same time as confirming that the chain slowly stretched around his neck.
“Yuk-”
The boy’s throat was strangled.
The face starts to turn white.
He swung the sword he was holding toward the Kowloon Shinhwajo, but there was no noise of metal colliding.
‘It’s a practice thing, but I used this to handle it quietly. If there’s a noise, it’s a joke.’
I channeled my magical energy into the Mu Bong Cheoni that I carry around in the shape of a tie.
The elongated Wu Bong Cheon was wrapped around the sword he wielded, swallowing up the noise and dulling the blade.
“… … !”
Did he decide that he could not cut off the chain that was holding his neck at this rate?
The strangled male student displayed clear magical energy above the sword.
The sword was entangled in the martial arts and could not fully emit its light, and the sword with the sword was swung several times.
There was no cutting of the cloth wrapped around the sword, nor the breaking of the chain that clamped the neck.
Took-
As soon as the sword energy was erased from the sword he was holding, his body drooped.
Immediately, the safety bracelet broke, and his body disappeared in an instant.
The loss of consciousness was regarded as a fatal wound, and it must have been dismissed.
once one.
In the meantime, the remaining three were just beginning to mutter, as if they had only noticed that one had disappeared.
‘Three more times this. No, there’s one more party left.’
As long as it turns out that someone is targeting them.
Although the surprise advantage has been reduced, the terrain advantage and the advantage of ambush are still on my side.
‘Now I just need to repeat it seven more times.’
By now, the second graders would have known.
It means that they are not hunters hunting their first year students, but are in the position of being hunted.
While confirming that the body of the male student who had lost consciousness after being strangled was disappearing, I searched for who to target next.
