I took a moderately comfortable posture and sat on the sandy beach.
In fact, it’s not enough to safely challenge the next stage.
But it is also true that I think that it is possible now.
‘The expected success rate is not that low. Still, I think it’s more than 30%.’
I looked deeply into my body.
With the help of ＜Eye of the Mind＞, I was able to look deeper into my body than before.
Compared to when I first felt mana, mana increased to an absurd level.
And a solid circuit that has grown to withstand it.
‘If it’s me now, I’ll be able to take down all the trucks I had during the entrance exam without even touching a single truck.’
He fought through death several times, and survived at the end.
Those experiences made me stronger.
But still not enough.
Question 1 – Bankruptcy.
Gate 2 – Fire.
3rd door – Han Bing.
I opened three doors in a row.
However, the fourth door could not be opened immediately.
The next door could not be opened without adjusting the flow of mana, which rapidly increased its output.
Q4 – Inspection.
Control the flow of mana with a few breaths, and open the fourth door.
This is the door I can open right now.
Even though he had strengthened his body to the limit, the increased mana output from the opening of the 4th gate was straining his body.
Now, after using it, all I feel is stiffness and muscle pain.
Perhaps if you open the 5th door and the mana output is higher than now, the burden on your body will increase.
‘To the extent that I have to worry about the aftereffects.’
Even in the secret class, it was said that the more you use it from the fifth door, the more your body gets damaged and becomes a crippled person.
But that’s behind the scenes.
If you die right away from lack of strength, you won’t even have a future to regret.
You don’t have to open the 5th door all the time, and if you only use it for a short time when necessary, you should be able to minimize the aftereffects.
In addition, if the problem is that the body cannot hold up, then the body itself can be strengthened more than it is now.
There are some elixirs that have such effects in mind.
All you have to do is implement the ‘Hanjo body plugging plan’ that was set up in advance a little earlier.
‘And it’s a body that ate two shrines. Because of that, the body is also strengthened. The burden on the body may be more bearable than I thought.’
So today, I challenge the fifth door here.
Fifth door, exclamation.
The other day, knocking on the door hurt me, and I had to give up.
What about now?
I swung my mana towards the closed door.
thud-
Unlike before, when he didn’t even move, he could feel the door shaking, albeit minutely.
Now that the shaking of the door has been confirmed, it might be one way to build up a little more experience and try again.
Having started once, I intend to see the end.
thud-
Hit harder than before.
Correspondingly, the shaking of the door also increased.
cool-
Internal wounds caused blood to flow backwards from the mouth.
Use ＜Hibernation＞ and ＜Relentless Vitality＞ to survive.
As long as the bracelet isn’t broken, it’s not fatal yet.
‘Let’s see who wins.’
The shaking of the door, which never seemed to open, gradually increased.
thump- thump- thump-
Some time to repeat.
Although the collar of the white school uniform has long been stained red by the blood that overflowed from the corner of her mouth.
I decided to pour out all my energy at once at the shaking that was so big that it wouldn’t be strange no matter when the door was opened.
“Ugh… .”
snap-
A small crack runs through the bracelet.
Evidence that internal injuries have reached the realm of semi-fatal wounds.
However, the door is also almost half open.
If you hold out a little longer, you can open it.
In this way, we reach the next stage.
“… opened.”
And the fifth door opened.
The feeling was lighter than expected.
However, I could definitely feel the change.
A storm was raging inside.
“Cut out your emotions.”
In the blink of an eye at the increased output, mana decreased.
And the output was so intense that my body couldn’t stand it.
Bones and muscles scream.
“Cut out your emotions.”
I withdrew my gaze from contemplating the inside of my body, and closed all the doors that had been opened.
The terrifying flow of mana that had tried to destroy my body had calmed down.
At the same time as I directed the senses I had locked inside my body back out, I was able to see my messed up appearance.
“Kaak- Twee!”
He spat the blood in his mouth.
Blood was flowing from his nose, eyes, and ears, so he wiped it off with his sleeve.
“It wasn’t for nothing that it was written that the burden was severe enough to have to worry about the aftereffects.”
A suicide bomber rather than a deathblow.
You should not recklessly open the 5th gate without being prepared for Dongguijin.
A technique that would destroy my body just by using it.
It’s nice to have reached the next level, but using it will require careful consideration.
Of course, I have to open it if necessary, but if possible, I want to strengthen my body enough to withstand the increased output before that.
[Gearco succeeded.]
The shape of a fox rose from the tip of the urethra.
The time came soon, but the timing when Maegu spoke was too good.
‘When did you come?’
[I came a while ago, but I didn’t want to interfere on purpose, so I stayed still.]
Magu had this kind of notice again.
Unless I came to congratulate her on her achievement, her return meant that there was an intruder in the forest.
“Is Kang Min-hyuk here?”
[Yes, after clearing the fog in the forest, he ran straight toward the flag.]
It’s a smoke screen, not fog.
Perhaps Kang Min-hyeok used a martial art belonging to Wood or Water among the Five Elements.
Soon after, through ＜Eye of the Mind＞, I could feel a presence quickly approaching me.
Then this must be Kang Min-hyuk’s.
“I don’t even have the strength to breathe.”
It’s nice to have reached the next level, but I’m tired.
It would have been a little better if I had brought some potions, but it was a pity that I couldn’t bring them because it was forbidden in group exhibitions.
If it was Han So-yul, he might have brought it in secretly.
It would be faster to go outside after the group exhibition than to go to the main base where she will be.
Although the bracelet is cracked, it will be completely shattered and exited, and all wounds will be healed at the same time.
‘After the group exhibition, I’ll go back to the dormitory and eat the elixir that Eleanor sent me.’
The ‘mandragora juice (highly concentrated)’ she sent to Han So-yul is stored in the refrigerator.
It was because he ate golden crystals and accumulated mana in his body to the limit.
Even if I ate a new elixir, I couldn’t see the effect, so I was able to eat what I had been saving.
Now, no matter how many I eat, I should be able to take the energy contained in them as mine.
I could see Kang Min-hyeok descending along the half-collapsed coastal cliff.
He looked around, saw me, and waved his hand at me.
‘It seems to still depend on vision.’
It was faster for me to feel his presence than for Kang Mi-hyeok to find me.
It was partly because I expected his approach, but unlike me, who perceives my surroundings with the synesthesia of Mind’s Eye.
Despite having a record of missing me once in a flashbang, it still seems to use only sight to perceive the surroundings.
“I was worried because I wasn’t in the forest where I was supposed to be in charge. I was here.”
“I’m right next to you, and I’ve come to help.”
“I guess it was a bit late to help. Seeing that there are no other children besides you.”
“Well, it’s similar.”
Unlike me, who was in a state of exhaustion, Kang Min-hyeok’s condition was just fine.
There was no sign of exhaustion, and it is said that the school uniform has a cleaning function.
There was no smell of sweat, let alone dirt.
‘Because it’s white clothes, it will take some time to be erased. My school uniform is still covered in blood.’
The blood stain seems to have faded a bit.
It will take a little longer to completely erase.
‘Kang Min-hyeok came here. The group exhibition will be over soon.’
In the original story, right after he arrived here and defeated all the second years, the time limit ended.
As expected, firecrackers exploded enough to fill the sky, signaling that the limited time had run out.
At the same time as the bracelet breaks, the wounds suffered so far are healed.
Everyone who remained in the artificial dungeon prepared as a battlefield exited.
* * *
At the same time as the team exhibition ended, my body was moved to the waiting area.
Seeing as there are only 1st graders, one for 1st grade and one for 2nd grade.
It seems that there are two waiting areas.
It was right after the bloody fight until just now, so there wouldn’t have been anything good if they were gathered in the same place.
‘And I’m not completely normal.’
The aftermath of forcibly reaching the realm.
Minor internal injuries were not completely healed and were accompanied by pain.
Rather than the feeling of pain, it was closer to the feeling of being intrusive.
It wouldn’t be a big problem to use mana.
If you abuse your body, such as using mana to the depleted level, your condition will worsen.
‘If I don’t do anything, I’ll get better in a week, and if I use some elixirs and attributes, I’ll get better in three days.’
Although it is regrettable that the internal wound, which was close to fatal, has not completely healed.
It must be more difficult to treat internal wounds than external ones.
Even if he had recovered to this extent, he would have to be appreciative.
「Quest cleared!」
“The compensation is settled.”
「Acquired the ＜General Attribute Growth Right＞.」
The blue window announcing the completion of the quest also came to mind.
There was no additional reward, but it is a satisfactory enough reward.
Last time one of the traits grew randomly, but this time it’s different.
＜General Attribute Growth Area＞
classification
-Miscellaneous/Consumables.
Explanation
– You can select one of the general attributes you have and develop it into a rare attribute.
Surprisingly, I can choose the characteristics I want to grow.
Considering that when a trait grows, it should consider how it will change.
You need to think about what traits you want to develop.
Although it could simply become a trait that is one level higher and compatible with upwards as the trait grows.
Like when swordsmanship evolved into urethral art, instead of reducing the range of action, it also had power specialized in one part.
Although the possibility of changing to a completely different characteristic was slim, it was not certain either.
‘The normal traits I have now… .’
