25 – Closed Test-3
When the group was first formed, Blantz, who confirmed that they were in the same group as Bi Eun-hyeon, was discouraged.
The performance he showed in the open exam was outstanding. He went around saying he was number one because everyone ate me, but at least Blancz didn’t think so.
He naturally thought he couldn’t be number one in the group. When the test actually started, the results we met were a little different.
The score of Bi Eun-hyeon, who thought he would become No. 1 In an instant, did not go up. He had already become number one.
After 4 hours, the ranking has not changed. If you go on like this, you can really finish the exam with first place.
You can enter a place called a special class. I had such sweet hope.
‘Happy hour. It’s over.’
I checked the score on the electronic board.
[Rain Eunhyeon 144 points]
I earned 30 points in one go. Less than 50 minutes left. The score gap still looms large. It was too early to decide the outcome, but Blantz thought the game was over.
Because I saw a scene like that. Rather, I decided to admire the way the score was raised.
‘Is that something you know in advance? Or was it instinctive?’
Either way, he wouldn’t have been able to challenge himself. Because I don’t like being sick.

Baekwoon’s test is different every year. Still, as the items to be evaluated were set, there were many corners where the plots were similar to some extent, and it was virtually impossible to completely control the leak.
– Heh heh. If it is known anyway, wouldn’t it be possible to use that fact instead?
―Indeed, the information that participants with high test scores are assigned to special classes is disclosed. It’s not really something to hide, is it?
The faculty of Baekwoon Hero Department, who agreed with the head of the department, came up with an additional trick.
That was to instill a sense of competition for rankings in the participants constantly.
First of all, the stage 1 obstacle race is held openly, attracting a large number of spectators.
A famous person is hired as a relay to heighten the atmosphere of the participants with a festive feeling.
―The lofty Baekun test was held again this year!
―A total of 58,000 people participated.
―Who will be this year’s supernova?
As participants run to reach the finish line, they are encouraged by listening to commentary from relayers installed throughout the stage.
―Participant No. 2155 We need to work harder. Catch up with contestant 1453, who started later!
Being stimulated.
-Ah! Participant number 4444! Get ahead again! That’s really great!
Recognize all participants who are ahead as ‘competitors’.
There is only a time limit in the obstacle race. There is no elimination by rank. There was no separate reward or awards ceremony. Even though there was no element that could be called competition between participants.
[1St place, non-eunhyun]
The final ranking displayed on the electronic display board that everyone is watching makes us accept it as a match.
As a result, the participants consider each other to be competitors in the second stage of the exam.
As in the first stage, real-time scores appearing on huge electronic boards that exist everywhere.
The existence of a special class where you can go if you reach the top ranks here.
Your heroism points will be deducted if you intervene and kill the monster that another participant was attacking, and you will not lose your heroism points if you pass by after seeing another participant being attacked.
All of these courses allow participants to
[It’s a competition.]
Induces judgment.
There is nothing wrong with that. This is competition All participants are taking Baekwoon’s tricky test. But you have to realize.
What department are they challenging themselves to? This is Hero Department.
The value of a hero is not limited to simply boasting that he is the best. Civilian rescue was not limited to missions that occurred around the blue dot.
Participants are also citizens before they are competitors. Thus, the rescue of other participants who are on the brink of extinction.
That was also a way to increase Civil Rescue points. Of course, the heroism score of helping a competitor was also added.
Bee Eun-hyeon knew that. That’s why I stretched out with my limbs. He chose to take the golem’s blow instead.
The blood flowed down his forehead.
“Yes, why are you… ….”
The person who was saved was Seo Yong-gon. He was in a state of urination from being hit on the buttocks.
Bee Eun-hyeon checked the score on the electronic board. 30 Points. It was very generous for only saving one person.
Even though Seo Yong-gon behaved rudely before the start, it was because he chose to save him and was evaluated as a great person.
-Kang!
The hurriedly pulled out three-stage rod collided with the golem’s fist, sending out a violent rupture in space.
‘Where is Benioros?’
The maximum size of the golem prepared in the test site is 2m. The reason it grew like that was because of the effect of the strengthening protection.
Finally, the flame Benioros possessed was able to strengthen the artifact.
Common sense makes no sense for a test participant to reinforce a golem that needs to be defeated, but he was in a state of aura exhaustion.
The reason why the energy exhaustion phenomenon is so scary is that Awakeners who have fallen below the limit of the spiritual energy in their body fall into a runaway state with a high probability.
Awakeners in a runaway state can’t tell the difference. At this time, even the remaining spiritual energy in the body is used indiscriminately to overuse the protection.
Awakeners die when their spirit energy is completely exhausted. There is no way that human survival instinct does not know that. It is not exactly clear why this phenomenon occurs.
I found Benioros in a pile of rubble. The moment he was about to move, his right hand was caught.
“Now, wait. Are you going to throw it away?”
Boom!
The hand holding the weapon was caught, and I had to block the golem’s attack with my bare hands.
Temporarily twisted his fingers. The pain rose and the brow twisted, but my heart immediately calmed down at the heroism score that went up.
“You dragged it with Ugg, you idiot.”
I let go of my grip and ran to Banioros.
The condition is clearly not good. It has reached a level where natural regeneration is impossible.
If you die like this, the devil will immediately possess your body.
If that happens, nothing big will happen.
Think about it. As soon as the devil possessed Ma-in’s body, if he was able to freely exercise all kinds of powers, would Baekwoon’s faculty just watch this situation?
Even though they said they wouldn’t interfere, they were former heroes. Those who have a sense of justice in their hearts.
If it gets really dangerous, they will intervene unconditionally.
“Aww!”
“Stop struggling.”
It’s just that the energy has gone down, it’s not that the body is injured. It was understandable to struggle. It’s cumbersome to subdue, it just annoyed me.
In the original work, Cha Yeon-hwa did not save Benioros. He earned extra points for killing him after a demon possessed his dead body.
But Bi Eun-hyeon was thinking of taking a different route. He saves Benioros from the start.
People always put their own survival first. Therefore, in this situation, it was right to deal with the golem first.
From noble mtl dot com
If you go against that instinct and save the opponent first, how many heroism points can you get?
At least, it was clear that I would get more points than killing demons.
‘Above all, his protection is worth using to let him die.’
The process of injecting one’s body’s spiritual energy into an opponent is by no means simple. The caster naturally falls into a defenseless state.
Even so, I didn’t hesitate. He placed his hand near Benioros’ heart.
“Uhhhhh.”
The golem’s gigantic fist hit the back,
“Kuh… !”
My backbone was ruptured and I felt the vertebrae cross each other.
Drip-tuk, I ignored the blood flowing from my mouth.
‘His hand a little further to the left.’
‘The angle is not right. Readjust.’
‘From here, go right again.’
Recalling the memories of studying, I devoted myself to treatment.
At the entrance of the test site, Mad Genius, who was watching the whole situation on the screen, doubted his eyes.
‘That’s an interference technique used to treat Reiki deficiency!’
Stimulates the entire circulatory system centering on the blood flow surrounding the heart, and infuses spiritual energy to all parts of the body. This is an easy thing to say. How difficult was it.
Even he, who was called a genius, had the experience of wandering around for more than three months when he learned that.
Now, a newcomer who has been Awoken for less than a month is doing it well.
Frightening talent.
Reiki is a very stable substance. However, this premise exists within the Awoken.
You can think of the time when the protection of the ‘appearance series’ that creates ice or breathes fire is used. How powerful was the aura that spewed out?
Injects spiritual energy into others. There are even Awoken who attack in that way.
If you don’t, you can be charged with murder. Although the situation will not actually be sentenced as much as it was. In any case, it was an action that could threaten the career of dreaming of a hero.
‘Why are you helping?’
I remembered Bi Eun-hyeon’s smile, which was close to the expression “Evil.”
‘No way, to accumulate heroism points with healing factor?’
Did he even know the contents of the test in advance? No, none of that matters right now.
Even if all of those actions were hypocrisy and postponement planned for future gains.
‘Bee Eun-hyun student. Not everyone has the courage to face pain.’
Participants who challenge Baekwoon’s test fill out a consent form in preparation for death.
In the past, even with such an agreement, if a participant was in danger of dying, the faculty would intervene at their discretion and help, but there were frequent incidents in which the participants who received help protested, saying, “The professor helped me on my own, so I was eliminated!” Did.
Eventually, the rules were changed so that no matter what, no intervention was required unless direct help was sought. One that is
‘If it becomes more dangerous, I will intervene.’
Healing Factor is not an all-powerful protection that consumes spiritual energy.
Bee Eun-hyeon was a talent too precious to lose here.
***
Boom! Boom! Boom! The golem’s fist struck fiercely.
‘Oh, keep hitting me. It’s enough to recover.’
That’s what he said, but God’s protection isn’t all-powerful. If the golem’s attack power exceeded its recovery rate, it would have been dangerous.
Benioros’ struggle gradually diminishes. This was not enough To finish this state, it is necessary to rapidly circulate the aura in a deeper place.
I have to concentrate a little more, but it’s impossible because my body trembles while under attack.
“Are you here?”
Just in time, the senior villain arrived.
“Whoa, look at the blood. I’m terribly hurt. Are you alive?”
“Thanks.”
The golem attacked Allen first. This was not a design error or anything like that.
The villain is a criminal, but he is a ‘human’. A monster is just a “Monster” With the word 人 in it. In fact, the monster attacked the villain indiscriminately. It was such a testimony. It is also the reason why Bi Eun-hyun was looking for a senior villain.
Allen shouted as he dodged the golem’s attack.
“You, you bastard! What were you thinking when you jumped in here?”
“You must have jumped in to save someone, right?”
“What, save? What the. I sat down and chatted comfortably. Are you insane? It’s a test, it’s a competition. Where can I help others?”
“I know. It’s a test Seniors like that are exams, so is it okay if I help you?”
“Bastard, why am I your senior!”
“I’ll be entering school soon.”
“Not yet! And it’s not helping, it’s changing aggro. sh*t… ….”
Of course. One of the habits of a lowly monster is to preferentially attack living creatures that are actively moving, but this golem is learned as a habit of a lowly monster.
If you don’t attack Allen, who has been rushing towards you, who will you attack?
“What did I do wrong, I have to take care of such a madman!”
Boom! Allen’s kick staggered the 5m tall golem.
As expected, he is a talented person who survived Baekun for more than a year. But it wasn’t very strong. Within the time left, I thought it would be worth fighting for.
“You, you bastard! Don’t end treatment soon! If I catch this first, you die!”
It was a fun threat, and it was helpful enough. It was compulsory help, but I’m grateful that I’m grateful.
“I’ll take the toss now.”
I took out a stiletto from my bosom.
