97 – Let’s work hard, Examiner – 3
The reaction of the president of the association in the meeting room was not bad.
Even though it was a hypothesis that was just spit out without evidence.
It was impressive to see him listen with a serious expression.
‘Did you say that Ma Hak-jun is your favorite junior? Certainly, he deserves the position of president of the association.’
As we get older and rise to higher positions, we tend to become stubborn.
Because you have your own secret to success, it is clear that you have confidence in it.
It would be nice if it was maintained in moderation, but if you go further, you will become a ‘kkondae’.
From that point of view, the president of the association was not that kind of person.
If you are the president of the association, you are at the ministerial level. No, I heard more than that.
Even so, I couldn’t find a bit of an authoritative look.
It would have been nice if someone like the president of the association was the boss instead of the boss who was suspended.
If that was the case, I might have gotten along just fine without hitting the public servants.
‘Let’s see. First of all, he told me about the cataclysm to some extent.’
growth of monsters. A ‘cataclysm’, literally, coming soon.
The sure way to deal with it is, in the end, the more distinct growth of those with special abilities.
That part was clearly communicated to the president of the association, Ma Hak-jun, and the professors.
It’s not like I’m in a key position in politics, I’m just an academy judge.
There, he informed me of future poetry in a way that would not cause suspicion.
You have to be concerned about the possibility that things will twist in a strange direction if you go further.
‘Rather than that, I didn’t aim for it, but somehow it turned out to be prepared in advance.’
Bronze, just look at silver and don’t move forward.
Don’t be relieved just because you’ve reached silver, and don’t just try to stay.
I feel like I’m finally finding a reason for my actions, even while being criticized.
As the female professor said, I didn’t draw a big picture, but it went well.
Because of this, maybe we can change the future of more students.
“Even the bronzes are sweating blood! Even Silver bites his teeth! What are you guys doing!”
Is there any student who won’t feel proud after hearing that?
What if you even see those bronzes and silvers growing day by day?
Right now, even the gold grade students keep coming to me, as if they were anxious.
A brief conversation, or sparring. Beyond that, to the measurement of being demoted altogether.
Some of them had a little regret, but most of them looked relieved.
He said he finally had someone to fight against like crazy while burning the flames.
The light in his eyes was so bright that he could clearly feel the thought.
The academy’s job, judging students, is now completely on track.
It would be nice if the Platinum and Diamond levels came often, but that’s it.
I have no intention of forcibly pulling down even those who are doing well to meet my standards.
If they come, they’ll look after you, or they won’t. You’re already doing well enough.
‘All that’s left is… How ready am I? That must be it.’
– The third eye is active.
◎ Baek Seo-jin
: Silver Gatekeeper
◎ Details
: No one can pass through without the permission of the gatekeeper.
The characteristic part is still there. It states that no one can pass through without the permission of the gatekeeper.
Although there are no parts that have changed as much as Soohyun, it is still enough.
I really benefited from this feature. Especially against Elder, I really felt it.
In addition to this, a number of sub-characters have also been accumulated.
◎ Sub Attribute
: sole review officer
◎ Details
: Recognizes all those who have not been promoted by themselves as subject to review.
◎ Sub Attribute
: Gojingamrae
◎ Details
: Stacks are stacked in proportion to the number of promotion failures of the specified opponent.
After that, upon successful promotion, the specified opponent’s ability is strengthened by the stack.
◎ Sub Attribute
: overtime
◎ Details
: If the characteristics of the gatekeeper are met, screening is possible even if it is not a designated place.
◎ Sub Attribute
: The gatekeeper’s heart
◎ Details
: It is impossible to firmly block the silver door forever.
After hard work, it is natural for a person with reasonable qualifications to emerge.
Persons judged to be ‘qualified’ are not included in the penalty figure.
‘Basic attributes are fraudulent, but all sub-attributes are fraudulent.’
The gatekeeper’s characteristics can be used anywhere, and others can be strengthened.
Even if it violates the characteristic conditions, the penalty can be removed.
Maybe if this was a game, ‘What kind of characters are there?’ would have said
“… .”
Are you really ready now? A sudden question.
And the answer I give myself immediately afterwards is, ‘No.’ that it is.
‘It’s strange.’
The character is, of course, a scam. However, that alone is not enough.
As well as enduring the battle ahead, but also an explanation of everything I’ve seen so far.
Traits are just traits. Death is the same if you exceed the limit that your body can handle.
The Elder took a fatal blow. Not once, but twice!
However, I survived just fine.
It was a serious injury, but the speed of recovery was amazing.
As if it was a trait and something special before that.

I felt a presence, so I looked ahead and saw Suhyeon in the judging room.
‘I expected it, but as expected.’
I think he ran right after the lecture.
Since I hadn’t returned yet, it looked like he was waiting for me to come back sometime.
“Soohyun.”
As soon as you call it, it’s like seeing a puppy running right away.
And then I laugh at what is so good about it.
The red witch, that characteristic doesn’t really match.
“Are you done with what you’ve been doing?”
“yes. Well done.”
Suhyeon nodded at the answer and clung to her side.
What happened? Others may ask a question.
Suhyeon, who occupied the side, did not look curious at all.
“Aren’t you going to ask what happened?”
“If the judges tell you, you listen, or you don’t. What if I ask a question for no reason and the judge looks embarrassed to answer?”
Maybe I’ll get in trouble It means I was silent because I didn’t like it.
I was grateful for that answer, so I patted Suhyeon’s head without realizing it.
“ah.”
Suhyun opens her eyes wide and looks at me.
In response to that reaction, I immediately removed my hand, wondering if I had made a mistake.
“sorry. If it was a little sudden… .”
“Nope! Not at all. I’m just, I’m just surprised. The judge’s hand is so warm.”
“… Don’t be too quick to say things like that. When others hear it, they misunderstand it.”
I am an adult, and Suhyeon is also an adult, and even the age difference is small.
There is nothing wrong with it, but hearing such words stung me a little.
By the way.
“Soohyun.”
“Yes, Judge.”
“Can I ask you one favor?”
I want to shed some light on the questions I’ve been asking for a while.
“Yes! Just say it! I’ll listen to everything!”
“Let’s have a sparring with me.”
“Dalian?”
“yes. Fighting with a real sword and with all my heart.”
“… to?”
An embarrassing sigh escapes Suhyeon’s lips.
I guessed that I would see a reaction last time, but I guess.
I know very well that you show great interest and affection to me.
Even me, ‘Lee Hyeon-woo would be better than Su-hyeon.’ I also thought about it.
But when I looked at some parts.
I came to the conclusion that Suhyun was better than Lee Hyunwoo.
‘I hit and fucked and fought too many times with him. The familiar state won’t produce optimal results.’
The reason I want to do sparring right now is to not use my attributes as much as possible.
I was trying to check how far my ability was.
If that is the case, I will deal with Lee Hyeon-woo, whom I have already become accustomed to knowingly or unknowingly.
It would have been better to deal with Soo-hyeon, who had less bumps than Lee Hyeon-woo.
“Poetry, examiner? Wouldn’t that be too risky? Just like during the promotion review… .”
I shook my head at Suhyun’s words. So it’s no use.
I want to fight as fiercely as possible. It’s even better if it’s chilling down your spine.
Also, I want to see Suhyeon’s history.
I know you’ve grown a lot while sparring with Irina.
For that reason, he was the first to promote Suhyeon to silver.
In a situation where more time has passed, I was curious about how much I had grown.
“Please, Suhyeon-ah. Seriously, do your best. I want to fight once.”
In a serious tone, he asked while holding Suhyun’s hand.
With her attributes suppressed as much as possible, she was the best sparring opponent.
how far i’ve come How much further do you have to go?
There was no one better than her to face that level objectively.
“… If the examiner asks you to do so, there must be a reason.”
Yes, you will. If you refuse there, it will never happen.
Suhyeon muttered, making a determined expression.
“do. Dalian. As the judge said, I will do my best.”
*
A vehicle enters the front gate of the academy.
At first glance, it was a very luxurious looking car.
“… .”
Ma Hak-jun, who watched the scene from a distance, let out a sigh.
Fucking friend. I thought it was too quiet lately.
Kik-kkeong-!
‘That temperamental hair. The car didn’t stop properly, so why the hell are you opening the door?’
If it is an expensive vehicle of that level, it will be locked while driving.
I can’t even wait for that, and I wonder if I want to go out like that.
“Hakjunie!”
As soon as he got off, the person who opened his arms wide as if he was happy was none other than Kang Min-seong.
He is the owner of the Kang family, Korea’s best weaponry family, and a hero of the past.
Even now that he is quite old, he is so talented that the villains call him a sword demon.
“Please. How many times do you say you’re noisy?”
But to Ma Hak-jun, he was just a friend who was still immature.
“What happened all of a sudden? Did anything happen to you?”
“That’s not right. It’s not like something can happen.”
“I think I told you to come only when something happened.”
Even at Ma Hak-jun’s words, Kang Min-seong just chuckled.
Kang Min-sung, who prioritizes my family more than anything else in the world, as much as my family.
No, it was Ma Hak-jun who was more precious than that.
“You’ll have to wait a while. The work isn’t over yet.”
“yes? Then, I guess I should take a short walk through the academy.”
“Why don’t you make a fuss and just sit quietly next to me.”
Kang Min-seong shook his head at the suggestion.
“I must go see my granddaughter’s face.”
“What if I’m in the middle of a lecture?”
“It is not a lecture. I even checked the timetable and came back!”
At that point, isn’t it love, not obsession?
Those words lingered around Ma Hak-jun’s lips, but he barely endured them.
“Be careful not to make too much noise. If you talk about special treatment for no reason, only your granddaughter should suffer. I mean, do you understand?”
“of course. Am I a child?”
Then, are you a child or an adult? this human
Ma Hak-jun shook his head and went back inside.
In the meantime, Kang Min-seong left all his attendants in their seats.
I moved my steps inside the academy alone.
‘Looks like it’s nearby. My granddaughter’s energy… .’
Chaeyoung-!
It was a sound that others would never hear.
However, the ‘sword demon’ captured everything, even the momentary collision.
Kang Min-seong cautiously headed for the source.
The scene he faced shortly after.
visor-! Chaeyoung-!
It was Kim Soo-hyun, who was wielding a sword, and Baek Seo-jin, who was dealing with her.
“Um… .”
Kang Min-seong, who was looking at the scene, thought this.
Did you two fight?
