107 – A newcomer?
morning of the fateful day.
Inside the training ground surrounded by hills designated as a test site.
All of the 30 hunters belonging to Dreamers were gathered there except for Glass, who refused to participate.
They are gathered in training clothes that are easy to move.
And the ones standing in the front row are always the two A-rank hunters who stand out the most.
It was Iare and Joggs.
They were two people who had already become accustomed to each other while carrying out missions together, but…
Today, at this moment, I am radiating a completely different feeling than usual..
It’s like, they’re showing off something like a force unique to A-class hunters…
Seeing them like this, the B-class hunters were determined to pass the promotion test and stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
And among them…
Three people who have more skills than others, but also have greater ambition than others..
Roha, Harim, and Lee were also included.
‘I watched the battle video that was released yesterday as well.
‘But, how the hell are you going to take the test? I know it’s to check my fighting ability, but I don’t know anything about other methods…’
‘It doesn’t matter which test comes out. Class A Hunter… I’ll definitely take that position.’
Feeling both anticipation and concern about the situation that would unfold in the future, the girls turned their gaze away from the A-rank hunters warming up in front of them and began to carefully examine their surroundings.
At this moment, the appearance of other B-class hunters stretching or taking a rest while standing in place.
Normally, they were close friends and comrades, but at this point, they could become competitors to be defeated.
While carefully examining their condition, they suddenly saw a woman with a face they had never seen before.
“Huh?.. Who is that person?”
“Well..? I am the first person to see Are you a newcomer this time? Harim, do you know anything?”
“no? Not at all.. As you said, you seem to be a newcomer recently?”
A woman with a striking appearance, with snow-white skin and blue eyes.
The face shape was presumed to be of mixed Asian and Western blood, and the unique skin color and deep blue eyes like the sea made it automatically feel mysterious.
“It’s pretty… it looks like a doll.”
“Yeah, just looking at the feeling, it feels like it should be put in a cabinet rather than a battlefield.”
Roha and Harim talk about the girl in such a low voice.
On the other hand, Iro, not interfering in their conversation, just silently kept the pure white girl in his eyes.
‘… It’s pretty, really…’
Rather than making them take up arms like their friends say, the image of a woman giving them the feeling that they should protect them with their arms in front of them.
While thinking about that, Iro shook his head slightly, brushed off his thoughts, and then looked forward again.
right after that…
In their eyes, the person they had been waiting for finally began to slowly appear.
Adjutant Jinhyun Lee.
A man who has been working as Dreamers’ lieutenant since about 8 months ago.
Even when I first came in, honestly, among the B-class hunters, there was talk of saying that it was a parachute that came in through Hunter Iare’s connections, but 8 months later, not a single one of the hunters was talking about that.
100% commission success rate.
0 fatalities.
In addition, in the previous Hamheung Frontline Defense Battle, as much as the guild masters and lieutenants of the official guild showed overwhelming ability, there was no doubt about Lee Jin-hyun’s ability anymore.
Their commander who has such close-to-perfect trust.
Looking at him, the hunters straightened their slightly sloppy postures, and then, looking at them, Adjutant In Jin-hyun spoke in a clear voice.
“Then, let’s finish the reaping and start talking about the promotion test right away. Again, this promotion test is guaranteed by Dreamers Headquarters, and those who achieve excellent grades here will be treated as A-class hunters within the company only, and further requested by the company. I will guarantee that I have A-class skills in performing the .”
Adjutant Lee Jin-hyun, who clearly talks about the issue that was announced in advance.
At his words, the hunters’ faces began to show a deeper light of expectation.
Then, towards them, Li Jin-hyun’s adjutant is actually the most important issue.
They started talking about how to take the test.
“First of all, the test method is divided into two stages. The first is to test whether you have the basic physical ability to be called an A-class hunter in three ways. The second is to see how well you can use that ability in practice. In that respect…”
With that, Lieutenant Jin-Hyun Lee takes out the remote control from his pocket and presses the button.
Immediately after that, one door opened and the figures of transportation robots carrying something heavy began to appear.
Subsequently, they quickly began to install something between the lined up hunters and Li Jin-hyeon’s adjutant.
that’s right…
“Me..Metris?..”
“no way..”
The exam topic that automatically pops into their heads the next moment.
It’s much simpler than I imagined, but nothing more certain than this.
As a result, some hunters’ faces automatically began to smile bitterly…
Looking at them, Adjutant Lee Jin-hyun said in a serious voice.
“The first of the physical ability tests is push-ups. There is no time limit, but you have to do it continuously without stopping, and if you stop even for a moment or lose your posture, the measurement ends on the spot. Due to the circumstances, we will have 15 people at a time, and we will work in pairs of two to count the opponent’s number.”
Literally, a somewhat clunky way to measure physical strength that is common in the military.
However, since the number of people here is not that many, it was almost impossible to hit Gara with a posture or something. In addition, although it is the simplest, it is not a bad method in that there is no room for controversy.
Like that, according to Adjutant Lee Jin-hyun’s words, the hunters pair up two by two.
Seeing this, Roha and Harim also looked at each other and said.
“Then… shall we do it together for now?”
“I’d better do that, but… what should I do with this?”
With those words, Harim looks at Iro who is standing next to him.
He said it with a face as if it didn’t matter.
“I’m fine, let’s do it together. It’s nothing important, just find someone else.”
“okay? Then okay.”
“Sorry. I unintentionally left you alone.”
Somehow, the reaction of such friends reminds me of a scene like a sports day during school days rather than a promotion test.
A small smile formed on Eiro’s lips at this, and then she looked away from her friends who were moving towards the mattress and started looking for others.
By the looks of things, most of them are already paired up with someone they’ve been close to, with very few left.
“Hmm..”
At that time… Iro’s eyes suddenly began to see a person who was still unable to find a mate.
‘That person…’
That person… the woman she had been eyeing for a while before.
A new hunter with a mysterious appearance reminiscent of a doll.
Since she was a newcomer, she didn’t know anyone, so it seemed that she couldn’t easily find someone to be with.
And.. looking at it.
Iro slowly approached her and spoke cautiously.
“Hey.
