112 – Pinpoint(1)
After taking a sweet break.
The second test was right around the corner.
‘… Pinpoint.’
It is difficult to understand what kind of test it is just by listening to it, but in reality, the contents were not that difficult.
‘Time attack.’
There was a scoreboard composed of small, medium, large, and bosses, and you could select the desired number and configuration of monsters to fight.
The environment could also be set, and the harsher the space, the higher the score.
Of course, since it was a virtual existence, it was weak enough to be incomparable to the real original.
‘How many points do the standard scoring earn in a short time… ‘
In other words, it was easy to fail if you didn’t figure out how far your firepower and strategy worked.
However, if you listen like this, you will know that only the dealer type has an advantage.
That’s why the children who are oriented in the direction of support, tank, etc. got scores through different tests according to it.
In my case, I was thoroughly specialized in single combat, so I was planning to participate in a different way, but after class with Minerva, I changed my route and decided to do it with this.
While I was deep in thought, I heard a voice.
When I looked up, Lim Seon-ah was giving instructions and calling the list.
“… So I think everyone would have figured it out! Go to the designated places in order. Good luck everyone!”
The children each nodded their heads with solemn determination.
I also walked into the test room marked A.
* * *
Above the exam hall, there was someone who was busy entering. Two people wearing black suits and employee IDs around their necks.
They were reporters, often called agents, who visited to collect information on excellent students.
“Hurry! I will miss it!”
“Yes, senior!”
The two hurriedly sit down. I sighed in relief at the fact that I hadn’t started in earnest yet.
“Oh, it’s hard.”
“I almost couldn’t even come in. Originally, I didn’t do it this tight. What kind of belongings and ID checks alone take more than an hour?”
Senior Seo Ye-ji nodded at the words of junior Yoon Da-hye.
“So it is. I guess the rumors were true.”
“… Rumors?”
“What is it, don’t you, the guy who becomes an agent, don’t even know that?”
Yoon Da-hye scratches her head as if she is embarrassed. Seo Ye-ji clicked her tongue and opened her mouth.
“A few months ago, news came that a demon called a doctor had attacked. I thought it was long when I first heard it… It seems to be true.”
“ah… So, this time there are exceptionally few.”
“right. Until last year, there were so many people that the place was full, but now let’s see… They won’t even let you in unless they all belong to the top 10 guilds or associations.”
“exactly… The atmosphere is very tense.”
“Well, that’s not important… Oh, it seems to be starting.”
I stopped talking and looked in front of me.
Students entering in an orderly manner. The S-Class badge was particularly conspicuous.
Seo Ye-ji exhales admiration inwardly.
‘exactly… The momentum is different from last year’s seniors.’
stellar generation.
It was a term used to refer to the first year students.
It would be difficult to see talented people of this level even if you look at past Ernel graduates.
‘Among them, the top ranks… The class is different.’
Her senses were talking.
In the not-too-distant future, the beings who will lead the new era will emerge from among them.
‘And it’s my job to see that with my own two eyes.’
“Senior has started!”
When I looked up, I saw a girl walking out with a nervous expression.
‘… Yemari… ‘
The only daughter of a well-known ironworks company. He was one of the students known for his skills as well as his background.
exam coming soon.
The surroundings changed, and the space that had been desolate until just now was filled with green light.
“… Is it a wetland?”
“It seems to be in the center of Mount Hyon. Selected type… 4 trolls and 3 hobgoblins… ”
These types are often referred to as greenskins.
With strong stamina and decent physical abilities, it was a difficult opponent to defeat at once unless it had high firepower.
‘And Yemari… He’s the best person in that respect.’

Goo Goo!! A purple magic circle that spreads around Yemari.
I saw the monsters approaching in a circle, face down on the ground.
Guys moaning at the increasingly strong gravity.
“Senior, isn’t that Gravity Vice?!”
“The magic of the gravitational system… Among them, it is a difficult skill to master… It looks like he sharpened his knife.”
Yemari muttered something at the same time.
I could see rocks the size of a man flying around his body, penetrating the monsters.
However, the troll stands up screaming at the lack of firepower.
However, it wasn’t long before a rock formed again and pierced the body.
‘Double timing… ‘
A unique ability that unconditionally copies and fires one more skill projectile.
The downside was that it consumed a lot of mental power and took a long time to copy, so it was easy to be destroyed.
The fact that the gap lasted only 3 seconds was a testament to how much effort she had put in.
“Incredible. senior. Is that enough to be coveted by all 10 guilds?”
“Hmm… It’s a bit ambiguous.”
“Yes? That level of firepower and speed is incredible.”
“That’s right, but look closely. Can you see me barely holding my breath that has risen up to my chest? That means mana exhaustion came from just using that level of magic. In other words, I don’t know the speed, but it means that I haven’t completely overcome it yet in terms of consumption.”
“Aha… okay.”
An ongoing test.
how long has it been
I saw a blonde female student walking with an elegant grace.
A girl with fox ears pricked up dressed as a shrine maiden.
“Ah, senior! It smells like gummi! That princess!”
“Do I have eyes too? See you quietly.”

Goo Mi-hyang gazes at the scoreboard in deep thought.
After a while, I decided to pick a few, and dozens of skeletons surged up around me with a gloomy atmosphere.
“… 10 Skeleton Knights and 5 Mages… And three bladers… ”
“I don’t know anything else, but isn’t it a bit dangerous if it’s a blader? Although he is rated B, he is actually classified as B+ because of his excellent elemental resistance and his combat experience during his lifetime.”
“Let’s watch, the princess must have an idea.”

Gu Mi-hyang gathers energy while watching the approaching corpses. As he took the amulet out of his pocket and slammed it on the floor, a powerful barrier spread out in all directions.
An undead whose movements slow down in an instant.
It was the method of Hyeonmu’s formation among Sasangbangjin (四象方陣) that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Hohwangguk.
‘It’s good to block movement, but… ‘
As far as she knew, Goo Mi-hyang was excellent in many ways, but was investigated as showing a lack of firepower.
It must be a difficult type to earn points by processing it in a short time unless there is a special means.

Goo Mi-hyang continues to recite incantations with her eyes closed.
Strange patterns began to be drawn on both hands as magic rode up around her body.
As soon as he hit the floor, the two jeongseung soared.
I was surprised to see it.
“Senior that… ”
“Uh, Cheonha General, Underground General. A skill of the guardian deity system. but… Talent is a talent to learn, but you need to have relevant information to learn it… why… ”
A pensive calligrapher.
Then, it came to mind that the person who had recently taught her was Mavitna.
‘Did he hand over the related skill book?’
The two Jeongseungs making bizarre noises.
It was seen creating shockwaves in all directions and crushing the undead.
A space that can be organized in no time. I saw Goo Mi-hyang shrug her shoulders and go down from the stage, excited that it worked out.
“Hey, that’s great. As expected, he is a descendant of the empress’s blood. Rumor has it that the ugliest are treated… Isn’t that what you see?”
“Well, the position is insecure. It’s not because she’s less talented. However, do not write reports.”
Dahye Yoon stops what she was doing at that.
“Yes? why?”
“Why? That’s because it’s too big. The princess is going to join a guild or association because she misses something. Even if he had such a thought, it would be difficult for him to become a guild leader, right? Simply show your ability.”
“Oh, I see.”
students who appear thereafter.
The moment you feel a bit bored.
I saw a female student walking out with a huge long spear in her arms.
Skipping the flurry of red flags, the girl stepped onto the stage and began the test without hesitation.
“senior. Kang Ah-rang is also the successor of the reigning guild… After all, you don’t need a report, do you?”
“no. Write that child in as much detail as possible.”
“uh… Yeah? Isn’t it the same case as Gumi-hyang?”
Seo Ye-ji shook her head.
“Recently, the dynamics of the reigning guild are unusual. Did you hear that too? That there is a quarrel between internal forces right now.”
“That rumor that Kang Ah-rang and her biological mother, Kang Yoo-ram, are at odds with each other?”
“It is not a rumor. In fact, according to the rumors that have been heard, it is becoming almost a fait accompli. If this continues, there is a high probability that it will escalate into a large-scale internal war. It is impossible to predict how the power structure will change at all. Therefore, it seems that other places are also interested, but if they do well, they may find something to take over.”
“Aha, so there are many people who want information about Kang Ah-rang.”
“Uh, just… This is a bit of a secret story. There is a saying that my mother has gone senile.”
“Yes? Are you senile? If it’s Kang Yu-ram, aren’t you only in your 40s now?”
“Uh, but I heard that he shows abnormal symptoms often enough to say that. There are rumors that he is sponsoring large-scale assets to some secret guys… Anyway, it looks messy.”
While talking, Kang A-rang, who passed the test before he knew it. With a satisfied expression, I saw him turning the window and going down.
“So who’s next?”
At Seo Ye-ji’s words, ah! Yoon Da-hye hurriedly rummages through the documents.
Enduring the stinging eyes of his senior, he hurriedly opened his mouth.
“This is Miss Yuhana.”
At those words, Seo Ye-ji clicked her tongue inwardly.
