109 – Squeeze the last strand of strength
“3030! 3031! 3032!”
The number of push-ups of hunters who started to exceed 3000 units in 30 minutes.
Until now, there was only a slight difference in the number, but there was no big difference, but from this point on, differences in the abilities of each hunter began to appear.
“Big!”
The first dropout in #3087.
For reference, before the Hunter procedure was developed, the world record for push-ups was 2893 per hour, and considering the fact that even that was done with a short break in the middle, 30 without a break for a moment. I was able to roughly guess what the basic physical abilities of the hunters who broke the world record in minutes were.
Even more so considering that this was the first dropout… that is, the weakest among those here.
“Turn it off!”
“Heyyying… ”
From then on, the so-called songs that gradually began to be heard.
I, who was in the position to evaluate them while watching them, nodded slowly.
‘As expected… the average capacity of our Dreamers Hunters is one level higher than that of normal Hunters.’
When in the 28th guild, the average number of consecutive push-ups for B-rank hunters was 2500.
As this was the case with other hunter guilds, it was concluded that the average level of B-class was roughly the same.
It is quite difficult to exceed the mid-3000s unless you are an A-class Hunter.
In that respect, I was able to recognize that the capabilities of the dropouts who started coming out after passing 3000 were better than the basic B-class, but slightly less than the A-class.
However, even in the midst of such dropouts, there were also those who stood out.
‘In Kwon Soon’s case, as expected, there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s not slowing down at all at this point.”
“3541! 3542! 3543!”
Hunters who are still holding on even after exceeding the average level of regular guild A-class.
The most notable among them was a man with blue bobbed hair and… a tall woman with brown ponytail hair that Talos, who was actually a sort of X-Man in this test, was counting.
‘First of all, the two most influential people who are currently doing it are those two.. The names must have been… Iroha… and Hwangi-ro, right? Other than that, I think people who are still alive can see that they are qualified in their own way.. Well, I’ll have to watch the details a little longer.’
With that thought in mind, my gaze then turned to Joggs, who was doing push-ups without any faltering even though he was sweating.
She passed 3000s and is running 4000s.
It was an A-class that was close to S-class originally, so it was a natural grade if it was natural, but apart from this, somehow, at this moment, I was feeling something special from her.
‘He’s working really hard… To be honest, there’s nothing to gain from doing well here.’
Even if she, already an A-class hunter, made the best grades here, there was no such thing as a salary increase.
Of course, since this is also a kind of match, I personally prepared something like a small gift, but only I know about it.
In that respect, I felt a bit suspicious about this situation in which Joggs was so eagerly involved… but soon I was able to roughly guess what the reason was.
‘I see… Well… For that reason, I’m sure it’s worth working hard.’
What I suddenly realized was that the person watching Joggs at this moment wasn’t the only one Iare measuring the record.
In this moment, in this place, the person who is with me…
The person Joggs values so much…
Considering the fact that such a person was watching, Joggs certainly deserved to work so hard.
‘Well… From that point of view, it’s only natural to do everything in your power. It’s because he wants to show his important person… how strong he has become to Talos. hahahaha.. Looking at it this way, it seems like it has a pretty innocent cute side.’
Talos, a comrade who once fought together as an ally, but was separated for a long time.
I was convinced that wanting to show her my strength was what Joggs was thinking at this moment.
Otherwise, there would be no way that she, who is a little cynical and has a tendency to be sloppy, would do her best for such an unrewarding job.
At the same time, Talos was also counting the push-ups of the woman with a ponytail in front of him, while also quietly watching Joggs, my thoughts naturally hardened into conviction.

‘it’s tough..’

Joggs began to feel his physical limitations after going over 6000.
The other hunters had already finished around 5000, and only she was left.
Her push-ups continued non-stop for over an hour.
Looking at this, the other B-class hunters were making faces as if they were fed up, and honestly, it was the same for Joggs himself.
Her usual physical fitness level is in the mid-5000s.
She had already reached her breaking point, and if she had reached this level, no one would doubt her skills.
But… even so, she couldn’t stop.
In a situation where you don’t know how many Ares will do after this, as long as you have to spread your grades as much as you can, she was constantly urging herself even while her arms were shaking.
“6121! 6122!”
Are’s voice in my ears.
However, at this point, Joggs could no longer hear Are’s voice.
The target she is conscious of is only one person.
At this moment, Lee Jin-hyun’s gaze is only looking at her, not Ah-re.
Feeling it, Joggs squeezed out the last of his strength and moved his arm.
and..
“6201!”
“Huh!”
In the end, Joggs collapses from exhaustion as he squeezes out every last bit of strength.
As she reached her highest record, surpassing all the records she had set so far, she began to breathe heavily.
“Hee-eok, hee-euk, hee-euk..”
My whole body was soaked in sweat, and I felt as if my vision was blurry due to excessive physical exhaustion.
There is a sweet smell in the mouth, and the burning thirst is urgently demanding water.
In front of her… Are said carefully holding out a bottle of mineral water.
“You worked hard. He really did his best.”
“… ”
Are, who speaks with a bit of surprise.
Her reaction… Joggs felt sorry for not being able to do it even once more, and accepted the mineral water bottle she held out.
“Ha..i.. this is the basics..”
With those words, Joggs slightly roughed up his water bottle.
Seeing her like this, Are’s mouth smiled slightly, and then she looked at Joggs and said in a calm voice.
“You seem to be overdoing it today. Any reason?”
“… No.. something like that.”

Joggs sips water once more while answering Aare’s question slightly coldly.
Seeing her like this, Are just smiled quietly and said nothing more.
And then, Arera slowly gets up from her seat and warms up her body lightly.
At the same time, the other hunters also started changing places.
The positions of those who were doing push-ups a while ago and those who were counting were switched.
Among them was Talos, who counted up to 5143, and who was now in a position to count.
Talos prostrated himself, using his thin, white arms like a sorghum stalk that would break if hit.
Looking at her like this, Iro honestly thought it was a little cute, but I didn’t expect much.
‘I’ll do it to some extent as this side is also a hunter… but I don’t think 3,000 is the limit, right?’
With that thought in mind, I was waiting for a signal.
And after a while.. After checking and checking the records, Adjutant Lee Jin-hyun said while looking at the hunters in front of him again.
“Then we will proceed immediately. Ready.. start!”
