Best (1)
2 weeks in administration.
Although the size of the room given to me was not much different from that of the one-room room I lived with my father, the neat furniture and the night view from the high-rise building were not much to say the least.
In addition, one day in September 2028, after I had ample free time, because all I was given was consultation after consultation.
He is standing in the basement of the Administration Bureau with a calmer and more stable mindset than usual.
[In a moment, the ability test will begin.]
[The test party, Lee Yong-soo, please raise your hand as soon as you finish your preparations.]
Soon, the voice of an unknown person resounded in the spacious space of about 200 meters to the left and right.
I carefully open my closed eyelids and only turn my head to look up at the surroundings.
As if he had no intention of covering it up, there were hundreds of pairs of curious eyes on the other side of the transparent window.
Unfamiliar people dressed in suits and some familiar faces that I encountered somewhere.
Naturally, a strange feeling rises in a corner of the heart.
On the one hand, I feel repulsive about being a spectacle, and on the other hand, I feel an indescribable bizarre feeling… It must be because among them, the agent I killed with my own hands in the past is included.
However, there is nothing more idiotic than blaming the young monk over a fact that no one knows.
At this point, I raise my right hand to shoulder height.
[Wednesday, September 13, 2028, 13:04.]
[Numbering 438, code 1.]
[I will start the exam.]
As the voice resounded in the hall again, as if waiting, a target was heard from across the floor with a rumbling sound.
[The first test is firepower verification.]
[Destroy the left target sequentially.]
A total of five targets.
From wooden scarecrows to iron and synthetic metals as you go to the right, it was composed so that the difference in strength was clearly visible at a glance.
As for the first two targets, it was clear that he intended to destroy them in a flamboyant manner.

My steps are far right.
On top of blue-blue metal, he heads in front of the target with a faint orange tint.
I already knew the rough content of the test, so I didn’t have to hesitate, and I didn’t want to procrastinate in the first place.
[Lee Yong-soo, left… from left-]
and in an instant.
Through my supernatural [analysis], I recognize that the orange color is magical protection, and immediately put into practice a plan to destroy the property.
Combining [Intuition] and [Analysis], he grasped the [weakness], recognized the vulnerability of the protective magic and the grain of the alloy that made up the main body.
The right arm is strengthened overall through [Skeletal], [Construction], and [Hardening], and also utilizes [Hardening], [Organization], [Construction] and [Adhesion], and prepares for the aftermath of a collision with [Muscular Tissue Control]. Until.
After a moment of preparation, all that remains is… On the foundation of the right arm, it is only a matter of overlaying [Uncleanness], a sub-component of the unique ability [Disposition], and hitting it.
yes.
After all, the only weapons I have are my body and two fists.
At the same time as stepping the left foot forward, the right shoulder plays the role of holding the center so that the path of the right arm does not deviate greatly by releasing the force-
I didn’t need anything else.
Hard!
Soon, the [denial] and protection magic collided, and a strong sense of resistance rose to the bones, but it was enough to break clumsy protection magic or metal materials.
From the knuckles to the wrists, I bury myself in the hollow test doll and easily penetrate it.
Well.
If it had been rather full, I would have been able to properly test the strengths of the [skeleton].
Let alone the efficiency test of the new skill, I felt that only the skin on my forearm had been torn excessively because my fist dug into the doll’s shell.
Sure enough, the loosely drawn fist was due to the aftermath of the collision… The shape is messed up.
“Should I do more?”
[…] Sleep, wait a minute-]
“… … .”
Katabuta- It wasn’t long before I spoke first because no instructions came down from the loudspeaker.
I feel bad for the amount of blood flowing down the back of my hand, so I close my mouth.
It wasn’t just because of the wound, but because I didn’t like my weakened body.
It was expected because he hadn’t gone through a proper training process, but seeing it with his own two eyes hurt his stomach.
However, no matter what my body is, it seems that I have achieved what I wanted.
The soundless buzzing scene beyond the window and the voice from the loudspeaker that followed proved this.
[…] Lee Yong-soo, this is the end of the 1st test. Once the wound is healed, we move on to the next step. The 2nd and 3rd tests are pain tolerance and mental defense, respectively, and will resume sequentially from 15 minutes later.]
* * *
At the same time, beyond the window.
Administration agents were actively conversing to share the boy’s identity and other information with a mixture of jokes and admiration.
On the other side of the viewing platform, elements of companies and families who came out to scout were having more in-depth conversations.
“Didn’t the data say that it was level 9?”
“right. The initial awakening was telekinesis, a 9th grade judgment.”
“Then the additional awakened ability was an ability related to melee dealers, does this make sense? No matter how low the level of built-in defense magic is, it can be pierced with a single blow with a secondary ability?”
“No. You don’t know which one is the main ability.”
“… Was telekinesis a secondary factor?”
“Otherwise, how are you going to explain the holes in the titanium alloy?”
Although the test is not over yet, the evaluation of the role as a melee dealer goes beyond the passing grade and deserves to be regarded as a promising prospect.
Above the suit tie.
Under the sunglasses that do not match the underground space, the 46th place in the company ranking, the scout manager of KG Central, opens the door again.
“In terms of attack power, how much will it be?”
“Since the defense magic was destroyed at once, it should be regarded as at least a 8th grade lieutenant.”
“He’s only 8th grade? Even if you can’t do it, it’s the top of the 8th grade, isn’t it possible to get to the 7th grade if you hit it enough? The other day… Was it ‘Cutting’? He was just gorgeous on the outside, with an enhanced weapon, and he couldn’t even scratch the last target.”
“Yes, it was. But because the 2nd and 3rd tests are left. Of course, after graduating from a fostering institution… … .”
“After?”
“… Actually I don’t know either. There is almost no sample for close dealers, so it is useless to predict with statistics. What is certain is that at this level we will be out.”
The scout in charge of LD Holdings, ranked 62nd in the corporate rankings, pointed with his chin to the left side of the audience, where the Director of the Management Bureau of Talented Persons was standing.
The Oh family in Ulsan, a perfect example of a marriage between prestigious political and business families.
The Busan Ju family, which has a reputation as a political family, such as successive prime ministers and vice presidents.
In addition, HT Group, POS Group, and NTY Group, which are called the 5 largest conglomerates.
People from what are commonly referred to as the top 10 families gathered together.
“… They all came.”
“In hindsight, it’s nothing strange. Advanced countries are suffering from a famine of close combatants, won. In the end, most tankers and melee dealers have no choice but to bring in foreigners who can’t afford to spare themselves… … . Oh, just thinking about it makes my head hurt. How do I fill the quota this year?”
“Come to think of it, didn’t the president say something about Mongolian tankers?”
“When planes take off, five or six out of 10 are caught by monsters and crash, and the Chinese government is frothing at the mouth saying that it cannot allow key resources to be taken out. What about Mongolian tankers, most of them don’t want to come even if they come by boat.”
“Still, it hasn’t been decided yet that they will take them. Enduring pain or defending against mental attacks are two different things. Why do Awakeners leave with a mental breakdown even if they are given a two-week stabilization period?”
“That’s right.”
Within.
If there is a moderate flaw, then it will be their turn to compete with each other, and the moment they look at each other with anticipation.
Just in time, the internal speaker announces the resumption of the second test.
[The 2nd and 3rd exams are done with the intervention of a shaman. As previously announced, Park Gyu-tae, a 8th-level shaman belonging to the Supervisory Bureau, will launch limited pain and mental attacks.]
[As before, we will start as soon as Lee Yong-soo is ready.]
Naturally, the test person raised his hand without hesitation.
“… It’s bold. Are you fearless?”
“Maybe I’m smart enough. Nobody wants a coward.”
Not long after that, a man carrying a briefcase trudged in from the other side of the exam hall.
The 8th grade shaman, Park Gyu-tae, looks over the test subjects on the same day with his slanted hooked eyes on his long limbs.
I’m afraid who isn’t an Awakener, even if I hit it well, I’m sixteen.
He was a young kid, so he could have been a fledgling kid.
“Child, I won’t explain it twice, so pay attention.”
“… … .”
“The pain tolerance subject is valid for up to two minutes. If you lose your mind after the witchcraft is activated or touch the medium of the witchcraft, the test ends as it is. The record up to the moment you endured becomes your grade.”
“… … .”
Opponent is silent. He didn’t give any answer, but it’s rather something he likes – Park Gyu-tae feels satisfied inside.
How good would it be to live as an 8th-class shaman who clings to the administration.
At least it has always been a small pleasure to break the noses of conceited idiots who don’t even know my subject.
Surely, under the conviction that the cute kid in front of him will not be much different, he opens his bag and takes out a tool for magic.
“In addition, the 3rd test is mental defense. There will be a 15-minute break after the second test, but then you won’t be able to listen as leisurely as you do now. The method is not different. However, the casting of mental spells is subject to legal restrictions. Therefore, I am obliged to warn you according to procedure-”
“it’s okay.”
“what?”
“There is no need to warn you. you do what you have to do I am ready.”
Then all of a sudden
From the boy’s point of view, it was just a response to rudeness, but to the shaman, the interruption of words ignited an inferiority complex in a corner of his heart.
He quickly hardened his expression and took out an additional bundle of needles from the inside pocket, the deepest part of the bag.
‘It’s always like this.’
Park Gyu-tae puts on a cool smile, saying that the limitation of the effective range or the effectiveness that lags behind magic are always the cause of underestimation of magic.
The last kid had a nosebleed during the second test and lost consciousness and was taken to the medical room.
In other words, there is nothing like magic to make people suffer.
blast furnace.
“Warning according to procedure.”
“… … .”
“Numbering 438, Awakened Lee Yong-soo. There is a risk of shock and seizure during the test. The government does not forcefully recommend this, and it is clear that the subject has the right to give up at any time. Did you notice?”
“… … .”
“Are you not answering? Did you know that you ate it?”
He is a kid named Lee Yong-soo, no.
The ex-villain is betting on a fight that he won’t be able to eat even the seed.
It was a mistake he would never have made if he had known how the Wolf King survived the psychic shaman.
