107 – Flame Mark
We walked for about 3 minutes following the arrows drawn on the floor and arrived at the hallway with test room 4, and the staff who guided us in the lobby on the 1st floor. Two men dressed neatly in suits greeted us.
“Please wait. The promotion test will begin in 10 minutes.”
“Yes.”
– Oh… I wondered why it was so chaotic outside.
– Yes. It only makes a fuss.”
When they saw me, they whispered a little and showed interest, but then they turned their attention to the door where the test was taking place.
We sat on the brown long wooden chairs in front of the door and waited for our turn.
– Kwakkwakkwakkwa!!
I couldn’t see inside the testing room, but I could clearly see that something was happening beyond the door.
‘Test site 4… It must be him.’
I’ve never been caught before, but exam hall 4 was where the examiner Yeon-hee mentioned in the elevator was.
“Haa… Why is it number 4… Do I have to come back in a month?”
A man who was already waiting in front of us sighed and said.
Come to think of it, I thought that garbage was also caught here and fell.
“I’m sure number 4 is a bad place, Sunwolah.”
Nod-
Since human testing is conducted, it is impossible for there to be no difference in difficulty level for each test site, but in fact, I know that the evaluation criteria are the same. However, depending on who is the examiner, not being able to show off one’s true skills is solely up to oneself, and it was luck. And that also had a connection with the difference between life and death in a dungeon.
– Wow Cha Cha Cha!!
– aaa!!
The examiner in the exam hall shouted for the building to leave.
‘It’s big.’
The silhouette of the examiner caught in the senses was a martial arts system.
Even though the orc warrior is wearing a human mask, he has a strong physique and muscles that are about to explode.
‘Does he have to keep his top open like that? It’s not normal either.’
Well, it would be hard to stay sane if a human who crippled a person for the rest of his life in the test process only had to do a promotion test all day long.
‘No, shouldn’t I have to check the facts again from the fact that I was bullied because of that size in the first place?’
If you bully someone, you bully him.
“Ahhh…”
Yeon-hee was nervous like never before at the low-pitched screams in the exam hall, but Ran and other summoned beasts were already being summoned one by one.
“Uh… Hey, are you planning on using all of the summons?”
“Yes? Then, can’t we?”
An employee standing in front of the entrance hinted that there was no need to be so serious about the D-class promotion.
“That person tends to get a little excited when the other person seriously attacks him, and sometimes gets into accidents. Breaking an arm or a leg is common.”
“Ah- yes…”
Yeonhee scratched the back of her head, perhaps feeling a bit embarrassed.
‘Why are you talking about breaking arms and legs?’
“What kind of contract did you sign while registering earlier? According to what was written there, there must have been a phrase stating that the association is not responsible for any injuries sustained during the exam. It monopolizes the promotion exam and is not responsible for safety? It is a really terrible organization, right? Giggling- “
“Uh… That, is that so…”
‘Are you doing that on purpose to scare Yeon-hee? How can there be no proper human?’
I felt that the young work was not good today, but I couldn’t agree with what the staff said earlier.
That examiner is a strong person between at least B-class and A-class.
‘You can’t just blow away such a good opportunity. Opportunities to spar with someone like that don’t come often.’
As long as one arm or leg was broken, it wasn’t bad for tutoring.
I told the summoned Ran to do our best, and the quick-witted Ran conveyed my intention to Yeonhee.
-!!
“Okay! So, Sunwol, our strategy-“
Nodding-
After Yeonhee whispered to me a simple strategy to deal with the examiner, she summoned her summons until the waiting room hallway was filled. Then the people waiting with us fell far away and one by one drew their weapons.
‘hahahaha- That’s a bit annoying. Please bear with me.’
After entering the test room, I can’t summon you for a few minutes.
Puffer Puck!
– Whoa! Now, wait a minute ha, surrender! Surrender!
– Surrender? Are you going to say that even in front of monsters, Hunter?
The staff waiting in front of the door shook their heads at the voice coming from inside. Even though the test taker declared withdrawal, he came out like that, so he can’t help but be a real hitter. But.
‘Rather good.’
Now, it is good to say that my ability is almost open to the world.
No Ha-yoon and Bae Joo-ah. And while Helen Combi won’t go around talking about me on purpose, rumors are like birds with wings, and they spread quickly.
Many variables have arisen, and the growth rate has long exceeded my expectations.
Since I have no idea what kind of butterfly effect my actions will bring in the future, I plan to go in the direction of doing my best every moment.
In a word, fighting while hiding your tantalizing abilities is now over.
‘Of course, if you can hide it, you’d better hide it. It’s fortunate that Jogiman is quiet, but…’
“Hunter Lee Yeon-hee, number 477. Please go in. The test time is 5 minutes.”
After the candidates in the front row were happily beaten and carried off on a stretcher in a half-death state, it was our turn without a moment’s rest.
“Hmm? Summoner?
“Huh… I, I, I… My name is Yeonhee Lee… Please take good care of me.”
‘Ugh… What kind of examiner is like me.’
When the 2m-tall giant who was treating us as a cook laughed out loud and leaned back, Yeon-hee trembled like a rabbit placed in front of a beast.
– Start in 10 seconds. Candidates should do their best, and examiners… Please adjust.
“Hmm? How can I control it any more!!
– …….
‘… Just send such a psychopath to the scene.’
Maeng Seong-yong wiped his mouth with the back of his hand for a moment, then licked his lips as he looked at the summoned beasts who had been summoned in front of Yeon-hee one by one. Then, suddenly, he opened his eyes at me and smiled broadly.
‘I got caught. I still feel good. I immediately figured out who is the strongest, and I can’t see any gaps… What should I do with that.’
What would you do if you actually faced a monster like that? With that assumption in mind, I plan to make a move.
Belt. Belt. Belt. Belt-!
With the start signal, the examiner’s figure disappeared, and Yeon-hee unfolded her summons in a fan-shaped shape while wearing slime. The reason the Lizard troops called only half of them was to fight mainly with the newly acquired summons.
Flutter―
First, the Neos Harpy soared into the sky, and my vision also increased.
In line with Yeonhee’s gesture, Lizard No. 2 And No. 3 Ran forward, holding a crackle and a screaming mushroom, respectively.
Chirruru!!
As the two monsters provoked each other at the same time, the examiner who had disappeared from our sight appeared.
From noble mtl dot com
“Kehwahwahat! Where are you getting all these fun things!”
Contrary to what he said, the examiner’s face was irritated. The Screaming Mushroom’s provocation is effective enough to annoy even the top hunters.
Kwajik! Pew-!
As soon as the examiner appeared, he killed the sturgeon and screaming mushroom in an instant. Even with bare fists.
-!
I don’t feel comfortable with him just because I saw his superpower. The machetes of Lizard No. 2 And No. 3 Drew an arc toward the examiner’s neck.
Chae Chae Chaeng!!
Surprisingly, the examiner did not evade or block the two attacks, but received them with his thick neck.
Jureuk-
Red blood flowed down the test tube’s collarbone, but the fear was ours.
‘He’s a pure tanker.’
“Kehwa Chemistry! It’s fun!”
“Wow… That’s ridiculous.”
Yeon-hee was also surprised, but the summoned beasts did not stop playing. Orc Warriors, Knottooth, and ten Lizard troops rushed at the same time and covered the examiner’s body.
“Ughhh!!”
However, the examiner turned his body dozens of times like a top, and soon the summoned beasts attached to his body flew away for a long time to the outskirts of the test site.
Bweack!!
Zombies No. 1 And No. 2, Which approached due to their slow movement speed, could not even approach and had their heads cut off by the examiner’s hand knife.
Pyong-!
“Heh- hee-Your arrow skills are mediocre?”
Yeonhee pulled the bowstring from time to time, but the examiner lightly defended it using the summoned beast as a shield.
‘It doesn’t work either.’
If you attack properly even once, the power difference is so great that you will be applauded no matter where you go and openly brag about it.
When the heads of the summoned beasts were separated from the stretched torso, the Neos Harpies fell from the sky and tried to scratch them with their sharp claws.
Turn-up!
However, the harpy’s attack, aiming for a blind spot as if it had eyes on the back of its head, was helplessly stopped.
He grabbed the harpy and pulled it the other way to split it in half, then shook his head and said with regretful eyes.
“Oh, it’s just that you beat the guys you commandeer-“
Around the time the examiner’s comment foreshadowing a tedious admonition is about to begin.
“Hmm?!”
I landed on the back of a neos harpy in a stealthy state and landed on the back of the examiner, striking a decisive blow.
A very small gap created by consuming most of the summons that Yeon-hee summoned.
[Flame Slash]
Awesome!
“Hmm!!”
– Marks enemies with fire!
At that moment, when a series of small sparks rose and a red line was drawn across my back, a huge fist struck my left shoulder so fast I couldn’t even notice.
Kwaaang—!!
After flying for a long time, I was slammed into the outer wall of the test site. I gritted my teeth in a situation where I felt a sense of déjà vu.
‘Oh- the place I was hit in the gorge was hit again!’
“Ah! Sun Moon!!”
“Such a lady, can’t you just open your eyes?”
“Kyaaa!!”
Before I knew it, the examiner, who was in Yeonhee’s rear, swung her palm and lightly slapped her on the back.
Kwa Dang Tang Tang-
After receiving the blow, Yeon-hee flew quite a distance, but the slime acted as a cushion for her, so she didn’t seem to take much damage. At that time.
Chae Ae-Aeng!!
“Hmm?! This is Specter?!”
Yeon-hee entered the test room with 99% of Specter’s spell memorized, and the moment the examiner approached, she summoned Specter.
The moment he hit Yeon-hee, Spector attacked the examiner’s side with his sharpened hand.
Fisit-!
The wound was quite deep enough to visibly bleed, but that kind of wound would be such a blow that the examiner wouldn’t even need to attach a disposable bandage.
“Huh-? Puhahahahaha!! This is a masterpiece!!”
The ferocious dragon, who was laughing out loud as he watched Specter continue to swing his arm at him, momentarily flashed his hand red and passed by Specter’s head.
[Hwaaak-!!]
After Maeng Seong-yong’s hand passed, Specter disappeared like cigarette smoke in the air.
Maeng Seong-yong nodded his head in satisfaction and felt the heat approaching from his left side.
Boom!!
He did not move, and a lumpy ball of fire landed at a distance from Maeng Seong-yong and burned roaringly.
As he turned his head to the left, he saw the skeleton that had attacked his back earlier.
“··· Is that you?···.”
Maeng Seong-yong, who continued the test as if playing a joke, ran his hand over his back with his expression hardened for the first time.
His hand went down just below the nape of his neck for a while.
A stab wound about 20cm.
With that single cut, his skin was torn open quite large, and hot blood flowed through the gap, staining his gray training pants.
For Maeng Seong-yong, who has innate resilience, it was a blow to the extent of being bitten by a fire ant, but something was a little uncomfortable.
‘Is recovery not working properly?’
The bleeding that should have stopped was still going on. It was strange. There was even a message that Maeng Seong-yong had never seen before.
– The flames of ??? Leave a mark on you!
‘Hmm?! Wasn’t this a normal skeleton? What effect does the mark by flame have?’
Yes sirrrrr
