32. Midterm exam and postponement (2)
There are no bad people among martial artists.
It was like a chimney that I wanted to conclude like that, but unfortunately it wasn’t.
How nice it would have been if there were only peaceful and pure people like me, but instead, it’s full of crazy people.
Didn’t Cheon Yu-ha, his classmate, have the nickname ‘Gwangcheonma’ in his previous life?
At least the guy belonged to the normal axis.
Although he liked sparring, it wasn’t to the point of being a pervert who likes to kill people, and his temper wasn’t evil.
─Ahahahahaha! I’m the one who gave up! This is the second commitment in history!
On the other hand, the guy who showed up in the middle of the Great War with a self-PR introduction was one of the crazy ones.
Cheon Yu-ha was properly followed by the Heavenly Demon, even though the letter “mania” might be attached to the star.
On the other hand, the guy who was not treated as a human being, let alone committed to fighting, and became a mad dog.
There must have been a difference in genealogy and influence, but even taking that into consideration, the mad dog had a worse public opinion than Cheon Yu-ha, the small cult owner of the Demonic Cult.
He often showed himself losing self-control in war to the extent of doubting whether there was something causing mental defects in his armor and martial arts.
As a warrior of Hwagyeong, he was unable to control his own power, which should have been possible.
A very disappointing look.
However, he was strong enough to praise him even taking that into consideration.
only power.
For once, that was enough for the unmanned.
Wow!
The Guardian, whose neck and limbs were torn off, lost his balance and fell to the ground.
I brushed off my dusty hands, stepped on the golem’s torso, and eventually opened the door to the door.
The weight of the stone gate was considerable, but it was worth doing somehow with spirit.
Kiki-Ik-
Soon the stone gate opened, and I, who entered the inner side of the monument, opened my eyes wide, wondering if there was a trap.
Moderately wide cavity in the shape of a hemisphere.
As for the obstacles, the Guardian and the Stone Gate were the last gateways, so I didn’t feel any particularly dangerous objects.
Now, all I had to do was pick the fruit in front of me.
The altar in front, books placed on it, and gloves.
Seeing the scene as if they were shouting to take it quickly, I threw one last stone to make sure nothing was wrong and then went upstairs.
‘The altar, the martial arts office, and the rest of one side of the glove. It’s the same as what I heard in my previous life.’
Those who were arrogant and actually handsome were too soft-spoken.
Well, thanks to me, I found the gloves.
What the mad dog even said was not only the location of non-consent here.
Awakening method to bring out the performance of the Avatar Gloves and its true power.
It was a universal awakening method, but it was better than worrying about finding a means.
Before awakening the gloves, I quickly skimmed through the book titled ‘God of Fighting Qigong’.
“Hmm, is it roughly like this?”
Indeed, it would take a bit of time to go deep because it was a subtle qigong and decision, but all I needed to know right away was a kind of pattern.
Realizing how it worked, I took a glove out of my pocket and placed it on top of the altar.
He let his qi flow with his index finger and drew weakly over his thumb. The blood that began to pool on his skin dripped onto his gloves.
Took… pop…
Just like that, his gloves were soaked with blood.
At first, there seemed to be nothing wrong, but gradually the old corners of the surface disappeared as if it was shedding, and soon it took on a vivid black luster.
I was worried that I would have to wear rags, but fortunately it didn’t seem like that.
It had nothing to do with the performance of the object, but there was nothing wrong with its pretty appearance.
‘Now, let’s experiment.’
The performance of a weapon that is said to be the best in the history of martial arts.
Jab-! I clapped my hands to create a resonance between my hands and blew energy into my arms. With the determination to create a strong self-defense machine.
Even though it was me, it was unreasonable to create a self-defense weapon unless it had reached its peak yet.
It was obviously impossible.
——However, the walls were firmly built.
The armor of self-defense rose clearly on its surface.
A very large wall between the climax and the superclimax.
Although it was limited to the hands and arms, it was an obvious strength.
It was to break down the realm that is positioned as an absolute wall for ordinary martial artists.
Giving’s gloves paid off, at least in part, by making them jump one level higher.
It wasn’t even that.
Pan-!
I clapped my hands again and felt the resonance created between the gloves and smiled happily.
‘When was the actual exam?’
I look forward to the day I will be writing this.
***
After completing all the theoretical tests, including the lecture on great magic (how to deal with magic) and the lecture on dungeon ecology, the only thing left was the actual test.
“Miss Kaiba! It comes from the left too!”
The first lecture of the week, the test of basic battle guidance theory, is survival in the verdant forest.
A format in which cadets divided into 10 groups engage in assassination and battle against each other.
Or you could hunt specific monsters or find touch points to accumulate points.
An overtly combative, competitive exam.
If that happened, the behavior of the guys who preferred simple things rather than using their brains was obvious.
Yeah, it’s obvious.
─Several weak teams come together to defeat the strong team.
A very clever tactic of attacking the few with the many.
Kim Ji-soo, ranked 167th in the combat division, cried out when he saw the cadets flocking from all sides.
“Miss Eleanor, watch out! Maybe they agreed, they’re only targeting us!”
“I know.”
Eleanor Andersen, who answered insipidly, searched for a sniping point while busily kicking between the trees.
Fain! After shooting an arrow, if the position was likely to be discovered, he immediately moved to the spot and sniped again.
Taang-!
“Ah! Somebody climb a tree!”
“No, you fool! How to catch an elf in the woods! Kill the other guy quickly!”
Those guys, I thought they would still have heads, but it seems they didn’t.
Didn’t he come because he thought that Eleanor was more threatening than Cheon Yu-ha in the forest?
‘No, then I’ll have to cook it before anyone else.’
But fools who don’t even know that
8th and 9th groups ignored Eleanor and came running with the momentum to beat us to the ground first.
“Ah!”
It’s like getting hit by an arrow from time to time.
Well, except for Eleanor on top of the tree, we must have looked easy since it was an overwhelmingly advantageous fight in terms of numbers.
As for Cheon Yoo-ha and Eleanor’s group, the level of the rest is relatively low.
He must have thought complacently that if a group of people could catch them all in one minute.
“Okay, do I look good?”
Koo-ung! I stepped on the advance towards the unspecified number approaching from all sides.
At the shoulders that became heavy for an instant, the guys rolled their eyes as if they were embarrassed.
He seemed worried that Cheon Yu-ha had come, but he wasn’t the only one who could use the Cheonma’s reign.
─Step by step, the first step.
Koo-ung!
As I took a step, the guys who were running hard gradually slowed down.
Not only that, but they forcibly grab the head and body that are trying to sink into the ground.
He didn’t mean to do that, but he looked embarrassed because he did.
‘As a senior in life, I should teach my distant juniors a proper lesson.’
Yes, let’s kill one person per blow.
cooong! After taking the second step, I quickly closed the distance with the new method this time.
“aaa!”
I dodged the screaming guy’s randomly swinging sword and let go of my fist.
hollow stomach.
Kwok, before the vomit came out, he passed the person he had knocked down and swung his fist again.
Quaang! Kww! Quaang! Queueek!
After repeating this process five or six times, the rest of them lost their morale and were frightened by Kaiba and Han Ji-soo, whom they encountered while running away, and destroyed themselves on their own.
‘Ummm, were you three in your teens? Simple.’
As soon as the fight was over, Eleanor Andersen, who came downstairs, looked at me with a devastated expression and muttered,
“… … No, what were you thinking all of a sudden-”
The guy who mumbled in a small voice soon shut up and stopped.
After being praised for a while by Kaiba and Han Ji-soo, who soon came running, I asked to resume the search when my face started to heat up.
Yes, hunting other groups is good, but we had priorities.
Find the monster.
In this case, it was a mutant monster called ‘Golden Goblin’.
After exploring the forest road for some time, Eleanor hesitated and then quickly ran away.
‘No, give me a signal and go.’
Thinking in my heart, I ran and saw an elf holding the golden goblin’s neck in front of me.
Eleanor shot out the dagger from her waistband and decapitated the goblin.
──Keueek!
The goblin screamed and died fleetingly.
The eerie-looking elf with blood spattered on his white face muttered in a low voice.
“Target removal complete.”
After that, in the test scoring, we were naturally in the overwhelming first place.
***
After completing the practical test of mechanism theory, the only thing left was an introduction to Park Tuhak.
However, since the introduction to Park Tuhak was not a lecture conducted by a professor in charge of each class, it was planned to be conducted mixed with other classes.
The leading candidate was the fourth class, a number closely related to class 3—the figure of the animal.
The class where Kisara Kujo, who fought a while ago, is present.
Maybe that’s why Tadano Ansassha, who had been quiet for a while, opened his mouth.
On the way out of the verdant forest, the guy leaning against the tree said with a grin.
“Hey, I don’t think it’s against the law for you and the elf who is second in class to be in the same group. The other friends compete fairly with just the right skills, but it’s shameful.”
I narrowed my eyes and saw his white snake-like face.
Disgustingly shameless.
It’s been a long time since I’ve heard it, but it’s a very clever voice and disgusting way of speaking.
“How long are you going to use dialect? Everyone knows that school uniforms have an interpreter function, but I sat like that on purpose.”
“Eh, I don’t know Korean at all, so I can only speak like this in a Japanese dialect.”
“It sucks.”
Somehow, whenever I talked to him, I felt like I was a one-sided loss.
‘I guess I’ll just ignore it.’
Just as I was about to leave with my ears closed, I suddenly heard a cunning voice from behind.
“I see that you are slowly revealing your awl, but please kindly spread the rumors about our general. I’ve never lost much in my life, so this time my heart is growing.”
“Hmm.”
Is Kisara Kujo, the next general of the Empire, a Shimma?
However, as the person telling the story was a guy, he overheard it and replied.
“Only in words?”
If you’re going to ask for it, you’ll have to pay for it, Tsar.
At those words, Ansasha showed a hesitant expression, then disappeared without a word.
“… … What is this, Lee Saegi?”
I really tried to eat it raw.
I’m sorry.
***
Before long, the day of the final exam for midterms had dawned.
I faced hardship.
It was because of few, damn close friends.
“Shouldn’t we stick together soon!”
Practical test of introduction to Park Tuhak, 5 minutes before the start of combat duty.
“Today is the day we have to sparr!”
Dalyeonchung doesn’t listen.
