noble hunting
“Excluded 561 times, eliminated 312 times, eliminated 1143 times.”
“Tried out 1234 times, eliminated 1009 times, eliminated 213 times.”
“No. 715 looks dangerous. I will disqualify you.”
“487 and 390 replacements.”
1st year faculty conference room.
There, the cadets were appearing on the big screen with scenes for you to share.
As it was a very large class in which all first-year cadets participated without any exception, we never had to slow down.
Since there were magic, martial arts, and affair professors in each class, it was easy to see that only about 13 people were in charge and checked.
However, I had to never slow down the tension because the professor was also human, so there was a physical limit.
What if the cadets are in danger of falling asleep or looking away even for a moment?
‘Absolutely not.’
All the professors in the conference room were constantly monitoring the cadets without leaving their seats to prevent this from happening.
“It must be a lull for a while.”
“From the age of three, it’s natural to think that you don’t know how long this will be.”
On the first day of landing on an uninhabited island, I was panicked and wasted all my time trying to figure out the situation.
From the second day onwards, as you gradually get used to it, you will encounter a number of variables.
Food control, places to stay, battles in unforeseen circumstances, betrayal, etc.
If you go through these kinds of things and you are on the third day, you will lose a hundred and one hundred.
Even cadets who are full of thoughts of dropping others are usually pushed to the limit of their physical strength after 72 hours.
That’s when you’ll realize it later.
He said, ‘Ah, nothing can be solved with willpower alone.’
This class was designed to improve the cadets’ ability to recognize reality, check their own behavior, consider variables, etc.
And, arguably, the most outstanding of them right now.
“How could that be possible?”
“You really don’t make sense, did you really try to live in the mountains for 10 years?”
“Does that make sense? Even if you lived before you came to Mirinae Academy… You have to live in the mountains from the age of at least 7 years old. That’s not possible.”
It was Lee Seok-hyun.
“From the first day, I smoked right after I went hunting, so I didn’t have to worry about food.”
“I think the next one looks more artistic, I climbed the tree and paid attention to scouting. He knows what’s important.”
“Those gloves… I think they were influenced by Arachne’s breath… Where the hell did they come from?”
Normally, when three professors gather to investigate, it is normal to have an outline.
Seokhyun Lee didn’t have any of that.
Unknown origin, unknown family relationship, no information on main skills and sub skills.
He couldn’t even figure out where the weapon he was using came from.
I wonder how a 17-year-old freshly enrolled cadet could show such a performance.
All the other top cadets showed exactly what they expected, so it wasn’t surprising.
Lee Seok-hyeon was like an onion without an end.
“On the first day, I hoarded my stamina, and from the next day I moved quickly and made a web between the trees.”
“And I made a cobweb and put a thread in the center and held it tightly in one hand.”
“That is the crazy idea of Lee Seok-hyun.”
When the part connected to the spider’s web shakes, the vibration is transmitted to the hand.
So, if you remember where the spider’s web is, it’s like carrying a map.
Of course, it was accompanied by the ability to distinguish whether the vibration was a human, an animal, or a natural phenomenon.
Seok-Hyun Lee made crazy things possible while easily achieving all the conditions.
“Face 6 times, 7 times.”
As soon as Lee Hwa-ryeong announced that Seok-hyun Lee and Ben-Las were facing each other, all eyes were instantly focused on one side of the screen.
But soon all eyes were scattered. It’s because he didn’t want something to happen after he saw a cadet other than the one he was assigned to.
‘envy.’
The professors quickly adapted to reality, dreaming of becoming the representative professor of their major.
It was the daily life of Mirinae Academy where meritocracy was not only applied to cadets, but was equal to all.
+++++++++++++++++++
‘You’re a giant at last.’
There was no such thing as a giant.
If Venrath, who is ranked 7th in the first year, falls this early, one more commoner’s name could be added to the top rank.
Venlath opened his mouth hastily and pointed a finger as if he felt an ominous feeling.
“Are you sure you want to drop me now! On a commoner topic!”
“You’re smart, but I don’t think it’s necessary to talk behind the scenes.”
I scratched my head and looked down at him.
As soon as they met, the trembling eyes and the body shaking like an aspen showed how much Venras was trembling in fear right now.
“After waiting so cowardly, did you aim for me, day by day?!”
“It’s not just you, it’s just something… I was hoping anyone would get caught, but you got it right.”
I’m going to leave the answer here.
I untangled the cobwebs in my hands for a while and tied them to a branch.
The terrified prey and me with both hands free.
The result of these two combinations was obvious.
“Hey Iik! Everyone, don’t come closer!!!”
I’ll have to cover my mouth first.
If you kept screaming like that, the fly could get entangled.
“Shut up.”
He shoved the hard fruit in his bosom into Venrath’s gaping mouth, and then dropped his abdomen to the floor of the car with his feet.
It would have been best if he fell to the floor and passed out after being hit on the back, but the 7th place was not so easy.
Whirlik Tak.
As soon as he kicked his stomach, he rolled up his body and made a stable landing.
To keep him from coming to his senses, I also immediately descended under the tree and caught up with him.
‘Because it’s a freshman year, if you close your mouth, you won’t be able to use it.’
Whether it’s a main skill or a sub skill, the most important thing when using a skill is image and will.
I was able to use it only if I had a will to use it, thinking about the skill I wanted to use, and how it would be expressed.
However, it was very difficult for those who were still inexperienced in using skills to control their will.
The way to compensate for this was to shout the skill name directly.
If you become proficient later, your skills will pop right out with just the thought of using it.
not now
“Woo boo boo boo boo!!!”
“Yes, I understand your heart.”
In fact, because of the fruit in his mouth, Venrath was unable to use his skills.
The moment the baby babbled repeating the same sound, victory or defeat was already divided.
While leaning to the left, hit the chin with a light straight.
Another shot with a left hook while turning to the right again.
After stepping back for a while, he turned his body and high-kicked his head with his left foot.
“Ubu boo…”
dump.
After just three shots, Benrath gasped and passed out.
‘It’s like this too.’
No matter how much physical training and how to deal with monsters to become a cadet.
There was only one thing they didn’t learn properly.
‘The right way.’
In particular, this education was more severe for the nobility than the common people.
There were a lot of questions about how to get hit less painfully and how to respond when hit with a simple thought, ‘How can a nobleman be beaten?’
In the case of commoners, they are used to being persecuted by nobles or whipped if they make a mistake while working.
Nobles did not have such a thing, so when they were hit, it was common for them to withdraw or fail to respond properly.
Of course, time will solve all of this, but for first-year students, the future is still too far away.
slurp.
A portal appears beneath the stunned Venrath, then swallows it and disappears.
It would be a big deal if you were knocked out and damaged by wild animals, so the professor eliminated you in advance.
“But this is taking too long.”
First, after making sure that there were no signs of being around, I went up to the top of the tree and checked the plan again.
Spread webs all over the place, run to a place that is presumed to be a human reaction, and catch a nobleman.
At first I felt this plan was the best, but after a few tries I realized it was very inefficient.
‘Even if we say that we can distinguish between human beings, we have to go looking for each one, so the movement is too wasteful.’
No matter how fast you deal with one, if the other prey is very far away.
Starting with wasted movement, physical problems, and the possibility that if you arrive late, there may be no cadets there.
Everything was not good.
The most ideal thing was for the nobles to find out and come to me.
‘But it can’t be that easy.’
Assuming that there is a rumor that there is something that can scare the nobility.
As a cadet, of course, there was a high probability that commoners would also be swayed by it.
As a result, only aristocrats have to lure them with something that appeals to them.
Could there be such a thing… … .
‘…Hey.’
Most commoners are not interested, but almost all nobles yearn for it.
Such a good selling point really existed.
‘I’m going with this.’
The sooner the judgment and action, the better.
I immediately revised the plan and moved immediately.
+++++++++++++++++
It’s the 6th day since life on a deserted island began.
When you are saving yourself for the purpose of avoiding battles as much as possible and allowing most of the cadets to survive.
Strange rumors began to circulate among the noble cadets.
“Does that make sense?”
“But you say it’s real! The professor said it himself! It’s information from Class S!”
“No, it’s still too absurd…”
“Yeah? Then don’t follow me, I’ll go alone.”
“Oh no! Come with me! I’ll go too!”
There were those who did not believe the rumors, but they were often easily swayed by the enthusiasm of the believing cadets.
The fact that it was a word from Class S and the credibility of the professor uttering it.
I don’t even know the source, but for these two reasons, the noble cadets believed the rumors.
“But is that really true?”
“No, I said I was going to follow, so do you still have doubts?”
“It sounds like too much of a fuss… It’s a bit strange to say that I left behind the highest honor I could get from the first assignment.”
“Are you really not thinking? That’s proof of double quarrels. The stupid commoners will just ignore it, but we nobles know they’ll think more deeply!”
For a nobleman, honor is like life.
Aristocrats who have heard this saying since they were little will naturally turn their eyes to ‘the highest honor’.
Normally, it could have been treated as nonsense and passed on, but the extreme environment and the vagueness of not knowing when it will end.
Both of these clouded our judgment and made us perceive rumors as concrete goals.
In search of the highest honor of being on the top of a mountain in the middle of an uninhabited island.
Most aristocratic cadets moved quickly.
Created by Seok-Hyun Lee.
The age of great honor was about to begin now.
