27. Legendary Grade Simultaneous Awakener
At the request of Instructor Son Sae-bom, all Broad Academy F class students gathered together.
Son Sae-bom pointed at the large circular Artipack with his hand. I felt that the artifact looked similar to a giant gate.
“Everyone, let’s focus on this. In the future, the selection of class representatives for the Extermination Battle will be held in the virtual space prepared by Broad Academy, as it has been so far.”
virtual space. Like a dungeon in a novel, it was a place that made you imagine an environment where, upon entering the gate, a vast landscape different from the Earth or monsters unfolded.
There are various environments such as forests, swamps, and seas, but of course, participants are not given this information in advance. They don’t even give you any information in the first place. This is because virtual space creation artifacts randomly form stages in different environments each time.
Son Sae-bom secretly gestured and talked to people wearing special artifacts such as VR equipment from a distance. By the way, the machine they are equipped with is virtual glass. It is an artifact that allows you to see with your own eyes without entering the virtual environment.
“As you all know, starting with this preliminary match and ending with the annihilation match. Are you aware that not only high-ranking officials, but also the Mage Tower are watching this battle? Even though you guys are F-rankers now, if you stand out well, you can scout here and there. I mean, maybe life itself could be different. So don’t be sloppy, I hope you do your best and try your best.”
High-ranking officials were not only talking about guilds. This is because various associations such as the Magic Tower, the Blacksmith Association, and the Archers Association come out to see.
‘I’ve come to see you a lot. Even if it’s only an F-class representative selection event.’
In fact, it is natural that gemstones are hidden even in F-grade, but it is natural that attention is focused on D, C, B, and A classes, which are higher grades than F-class battles, due to the psychology of a person who covets what has already been completed. was
In severe cases, there are often people who do not watch the F-Class representative selection. However, the reason why so many people gathered this time is simple.
-Sueug
I looked around and thought to myself.
‘Jung Eun-seo.’
High-ranking guild Theor, daughter of the guild leader who runs the guild.
Even though she has just become an adult, since she has awakened to an Epic level and is in Class F, it is clear that many people gathered to see her skills. Well, look at Jeong Eun-seo and find out if there are other gemstones. It would have been such a simple thought.
As I stared at her, Eunseo Jeong was taken aback and asked me a question.
“Wh…what are you doing? If you have something to say, you can say it.”
“No, not at all. Just do better later.”
I said it so simply, and focused on the words of hand saebom again.
“Everyone, you know the rules of the representative selection, right? You cannot bring in any artifacts other than the basic weapons. However, if there is a production class like a blacksmith among your team members, using their abilities to create and use weapons or artifacts inside is not restricted.”
Son Sae-bom raised his hand and spoke as if emphasizing.
“And, all of you will receive the defense magic of high-ranking wizards. There could be problems such as death or disability during battle, so it’s a defensive magic that only prevents serious damage that will interfere with life. So, don’t be afraid of getting hurt and fight comfortably.”
Lee Hyun-seung asked Son Sae-bom a question.
“Instructor, what if that defensive magic breaks?”
“hmm?”
Son Sae-bom looked at him as if he were asking such an absurd question. This was not a strange reaction. The defensive magic of a high-ranking magician that cannot be destroyed even by the skills of the A-class members, is broken by only the F-class members. It was as absurd as asking what to do if an earthquake occurs while running like crazy on the ground.
However, she talked without laughing.
“You don’t have to worry about that part. In the first place, even the instructors here cannot easily break that defensive magic.”
Hyunseung Lee asked again as if to confirm.
“Somehow, even if that defense magic is broken, won’t you be punished separately?”
“hahahaha, it won’t break anything in the first place, but even if it breaks, there won’t be any punishment.”
Some students around me muttered that they were annoyed.
– Why is that bastard asking such a question?
-Do you think a young gunman can break the shield of a high-ranking wizard?
-Honestly, I didn’t have any other feelings for him, did I? But when I see you doing that, it breaks me
-bouncer. After coming from class A to class F, is there anything you can see?
-Eh, he’s seriously conceited, perhaps because he’s the guy who came to study with other people.
Lee Hyunseung didn’t care and shook his head.
‘Pale Bastards’
Just then, Kim Yu-ri tapped Lee Hyun-seung from behind and asked a question. She looked at Lee Hyeon-seung with eyes that seemed not to care about the cold stares around her.
“I will cooperate with you if you tell me about magic that I learned in Class A, but in fact, I won’t be of much help to my strength. I haven’t even awakened to proper magic yet. I’m sure you know, but I’ll tell you just in case. Are you all right?”
Hyunseung Lee nodded and replied.
“Well, it doesn’t really matter, just being by my side or scouting is helpful. In any case, there’s nothing wrong with having at least one ally, right?”
Lee Hyeon-seung thought for a moment and asked a question to Kim Yu-ri.
“I have a question, what will you do if you wake up as a wizard?”
“Wizard…?!”
She murmured in unanswerable surprise.
“Wizard….”
and talked
“If I become a wizard, I think I will be very, very happy. My lifelong dream is to use the things I learned in magic. I’m serious about magic enough to think that if I can awaken as a wizard, I’d be okay with selling half of my life.”
“okay? If you awaken to another job, you will be greatly disappointed.”
“…Well, even if you awaken to a different job, it doesn’t mean you can’t use magic itself. It doesn’t matter what job you are, as long as you’re a non-magic gunsmith.”
-Hup
She closed her mouth as if she had made a mistake and looked at Lee Hyun-seung.
Kim Yu-ri simply said the above story because gunsmiths do not have magical powers, so they cannot use magic without wearing an artifact with magical powers. However, I thought it might be offensive to Lee Hyeon-seung, the gunsmith. She spoke with an apologetic expression.
“I’m sorry… that… I didn’t mean it with bad intentions, it’s just that it’s really difficult to use magic…”
Lee Hyun-seung shook his head as if he didn’t care.
“Well, I don’t think I said it with bad intentions. If he had bad intentions, he would never have thought of coming to my side when so many people were staring at him in the first place.”
-Sueug
As Kim Yu-ri looked around, the glares of many F-class students poured down from afar. Was it because Lee Hyun-seung had been asking strange questions from before? Or, was it because there was a lot of fuss from the moment I switched classes in the beginning? Or are those belonging to Yoo Hee-yeon’s faction already forming a faction to keep Lee Hyun-seung in check?
Either way it didn’t matter. If they’re not allies, they’re all enemies.
While Kim Yu-ri and Lee Hyeon-seung were having a conversation, Son Sae-bom’s explanations were all coming to an end.
“Well, I think this is enough of the prior explanation. Today, a large-scale battle will determine the F-Class representative, so I hope everyone will pay attention. Don’t forget that there are many benefits to becoming a representative.”
-Whoop-!
As she beckoned, the gate-shaped artifact started emitting a tremendous amount of mana energy.
“Let everyone in. The battle will begin as soon as you enter, so be careful.”
At her gestures, one by one, they headed inside.
-Wheeeing-!
Entering the whirlpool of blue mana, a virtual space opened up before I knew it. Next to her were Kim Yu-ri and Jung Eun-seo. If you hold hands and enter at the same time, you use a hidden system that drops you to the same place.
‘Well, I’m sure all the other guys went in hand in hand anyway.’
The stage unfolded this time is a flat land with a dense forest.
‘not bad.’
Because there are many forests, the environment for concealment and cover was well prepared. Also, except for the fact that there were countless bushes and trees, the slope was gentle, so Lee Hyun-seung, who handled the gun, had many advantages, such as shooting from high ground.
More than anything. Herbs were scattered around. It was possible to make herbs into potions through the crafting skill. Currently, it is not possible to bring items or artifacts here, so of course no one has potions. If you don’t have a crafting skill like a blacksmith, you can’t use potions either.
-Sueug
Lee Hyeon-seung started to collect various herbs from around him.
Jeong Eun-seo looked at her and asked a question.
“What are you doing? You can’t just eat that herb. It can only be eaten by processing it into a potion through the crafting skill.”
-Quaang-!
As Lee Hyeon-seung began to chant lightly, a huge brazier appeared in front of him.
Blacksmith’s brazier. Blacksmith is a basic skill.
“What… what is this?”
Jeong Eun-seo was startled and asked a question.
Hyunseung Lee replied with a calm face as if asking what the problem was.
“Oh, didn’t I tell you? I’m a co-awakener Blacksmith, gunsmith.”
Jeong Eun-seo just stared at Lee Hyeon-seung, mesmerized.
