38. Monster rampage
#38. Monster runaway commotion
The sun was dazzlingly bright.
Several objects spread the light and reflected it at the same time.
My eyes were burning. I wanted to close it. However, there was a monster in front of me.
Cynthia looked at the monster and aimed at it.
– Class C monster, Red Wolf.
2Nd year high rank A monster that is hard to catch unless you have the skill level to reach the top level.
Cynthia’s grades are in the low ranks, but she goes back and forth from the middle to the middle ranks, if only for practical skills. That’s why her test this time is quite an adventure for her as well.
‘I have to leave a deep impression.’
Even if you safely get only D-class, your grades will go up considerably.
You can get a good score just by showing that you took good notes and handled D-class well.
But… I wanted to show more than that. That’s why Cynthia chose Class C.
-How?
Illien asked.
‘I have to catch it overwhelmingly. It’s only a C-class monster, but if I kill it in one go, won’t everyone change their minds?’
The practical test is a simple test against a single monster. However, through that simple test, the instructors figured out most of the cadet’s capabilities.
Respiration, how much magic power is left after the battle with the monster, etc… All of that is measured and graded.
However, what if you still have a lot of power left after overwhelmingly defeating the monster?
Could I get a high score?
Such a thought suddenly popped into Cynthia’s head. That’s why she chose her C-class monster.
“Kurrr.”
Cynthia was resolute. At that time, the monster watched Han Seong-jin and the gate until he got tired of it. She had seen so many monsters, and there was no way she was afraid of this one.
The first one to move was the Red Wolf, but Cynthia naturally adjusted the distance to her guy by stepping on the path of the wind.
At the same time, they continued to draw protests.
To the limit. Continue as much as you can to channel her strength and mana.
‘Magical power and strength… These two have grown tremendously. I have to use this!’
Extremely increased magic power through elixir.
Extreme muscular strength through physical retardation.
And grasping the ‘flow’ using the path of the wind.
All of that was condensed into a single arrow.
A monster within 100m could never escape from Cynthia.
“Kleurrureung!”
Red Wolf came running to Cynthia, baring her teeth.
She thought that now was the best time to attack.
As the protest left her hand, an arrow was shot.
Parba Baba!
The green wind whirled around the arrow, and at the same time entangled with blue magic.
“Huh….”
In an instant, the instructors admired the arrow Cynthia shot.
It’s only one shot… The amount of magical power contained exceeded that of a cadet. Also, strength is the same.
‘… Seongjin must have chosen a daughter-in-law well.’
And Cheon Mu-feng also nodded her head in satisfaction. The arrow pierced the Red Wolf in an instant, and the test ended less than a minute after it started.
“Kek!”
Red Wolf disappeared into the afterlife within a minute of being released back into the world.
‘Looks like you haven’t fully developed your talent yet… Is Sung-Jin taking the elixir that has a lot of magical power? Even taking that into consideration, she’s a kid to look forward to. Chuckle It seems that my innate temperament is also correct… This is true How perfect! There’s nothing more I can do!’
“One hundred points!”
“Yes?”
“Oops. So I meant to give you full extra points.”
As a bridesmaid, it was said that she had 100 points, but… It was impossible to get it out of my mouth.
He handed it over as an appropriate extra point and passed it on to the people around him.
“Thank you!”
Cynthia bowed her head at her instructors.
Then it was Lee Soo-hyuk’s turn.
***
“I will make it a C-class monster.”
“Let it be.”
“… Can I increase the number of matrices?”
“Hmm? Why?”
“I think one dog isn’t enough.”
Lee Soo-hyuk expressed his confidence.
He worked hard for weeks in a hellish place. Looking back now, thanks to that high school student, he has achieved tremendous growth.
Class C monster… Now, even if 5 attack at the same time, I should be able to catch them all within 3 minutes.
“Good. I’ll do it for you if you want.”
The instructors didn’t make the mistake of fooling around like before, and waited for their superiors to speak up.
And the chairman nodded happily.
“Then let’s do it with five.”
“Five. Try it.”
Mu-bong Cheon also nodded with an expressionless face.
Then the test began.
“Kreurreung.”
“Keruk. Kererelek.”
“Owl… Aww..”
“Kreuk keureuk.”
“… ….”
A total of five C-class monsters were looking at Lee Soo-hyuk.
‘I’m back from that hell. Has grown tremendously With only five C-class monsters… You can’t stop me!’
Lee Soo-hyeok swung his sword right away.
He was going to start one at a time.
However, the attack cut through his sword.
‘He’s not dead? Wait for a sec… Why do these guys have so much magic… ? There’s no way C-class monsters have this much magical power!’
C-class monsters, who should have had almost no magical power originally, had a large amount of mana.
Lee Soo-hyeok understood the reason after a while.
‘… The eyes are red. Could it be that the monster trainer failed to train it!’
From noble mtl dot com
The trainer failed to train the monsters.
And at the same time, the monsters ran out of control.
Since Cynthia caught the monster too early, the bomb fell on Lee Soo-hyeok.
And Lee Soo-hyeok took 5 of those bombs on his own.
“… Instructors? The monsters seem a bit strange, don’t they?”
“Aren’t these the five you chose? Let’s do it with evil.”
“Still, this doesn’t seem right.”
“What isn’t it? It is a hero to be mindful of such an exceptional situation. Can you be sure that things always happen within the circumstances you hypothesize?”
“… Doesn’t exist.”
“I will personally help you so you don’t die, so keep fighting. Oh, by the way, the monsters will keep coming from below. Let’s see… As a result of grasping it with a sense of humor, there are about 70 of them. Cheer up.”
Mu-bong Cheon looked at Lee Soo-hyuk and said. There was something like malice in his words.
‘… Did i do anything wrong? Can’t you? Why are you so talkative? And 70? Are you kidding me?’
Lee Soo-hyeok wondered if he had done anything wrong to that former top-notch hero, but he hadn’t even met him in the first place.
But why is your tone so cold?
Just when I met Cynthia, she was very kind….
He thought the 70 monsters mentioned by Cheon Mu-bong were a joke and focused only on the five monsters in front of him.
‘Is that the guy? A man with a rotten personality who put our daughter-in-law in danger… Eh tsk tsk. I want to catch and beat me. You should be satisfied with this. I’m going to have a hard time.’
Mu-bong Cheon looked at Lee Soo-hyuk and clicked his tongue.
Originally, it would have been correct to stop the test in a situation where runaway monsters appeared, but Cheon Mu-bong stopped it.
Because Lee Soo-hyuk didn’t come.
He was also in a state of knowing about Cynthia and a series of thought processes.
***
Around the time when 5 untrained monsters were facing Lee Soo-hyeok in the test site.
In the basement, the monster trainer was struggling, gasping for breath.
“Sir… foot… !”
He tried to train monsters that exceeded his abilities, but the training was released and he suffered a ‘penalty’.
Two or three dogs, how did they survive… Ten of them. I couldn’t handle it when I went over twenty.
And… At the same time, the untrained monsters conversely extorted his magical power through the magical lines connected to him.
“Kurrureu!!!”
“Krwalara!”
“Kerukkekekeke!”
Then, with that magical power, he ran out of control, showing even stronger violence and crashing into the cage.
Then, he broke the cage and escaped.
Dozens of released monsters attacked the trainer and ate him in an instant.
And went up through the aisle.
“Kurrr!”
At the end of the passage, the exit was blocked, but the exit was opened as countless monsters slammed their bodies into it.
“Huh? Shi, what the f*ck! Gee, 70 of them are really coming from below?”
Dozens of monsters poured out in front of Lee Soo-hyuk.
What Cheon Mu-bong said was true.
Cadets are surprised, and instructors are also surprised… There was no one to help him.
***
“Wow… Things are really running like dogs.”
After taking Cynthia’s test, I was also watching Lee Soo-hyuk’s test.
However, things were going very badly.
Lee Soo-hyeok vs 5 monsters.
This must have been difficult, but as the monsters ran rampant, they became so damn strong. What are you saying? That said, if done wrong, there is a possibility of serious injury.
‘… Yes, you should work hard.’
Isn’t he the main character of this world view!
Originally, the main character gets stronger through hardships.
Hmm. Don’t be like that A lot of hard work, hard work… Everything is for you Isn’t the world, Cheon Mu-bong trying to make you stronger? Don’t think it’s a billion, accept it.
“Mister… !”
“Uh, Shiaya?”
Cynthia, who finished the test in the shortest time, jumped at me. I was moderately sandwiched between people, but somehow I saw it.
“Hmmm… What are you doing here? If you want to see me… ?”
I smiled and nodded at him.
I tried to stop Old Man Mu-bong Cheon from doing strange things, but… Couldn’t say that Normally, it’s only right to nod your head at times like this.
“By the way, have you seen it? Taking that exam!”
“Uh.”
“Actually, I was good at taking notes, right? The results are not out yet. Therefore… That, a gift.”
“Why is that?”
“Maybe… I was wondering what would happen… Lol.”
“If it’s what you want, I’ll do it within the limits of my abilities.”
“Really?”
Cynthia jumped and cheered.
Lee Soo-hyeok, who was suffering from the gaze of the two of us, had nothing to do with it.
‘Oh… The monsters have increased to dozens. Cheer up.’
A few instructors tried to get up, and the cadets showed signs of surprise, but Mu-Bong Cheon stopped them.
‘That old man isn’t really normal either.’
Lee Soo-hyeok is surrounded by dozens of E-C class monsters. Only in situations where it seemed like they were going to be left behind, Cheon Mu-bong used his magic to save him, and he didn’t help at all other than that.
It’s as if he told me to take care of all the remaining monsters.
Lee Soo-hyeok was catching the monsters like crazy with an expression of chewing sh*t. Hey… He is also the original protagonist. He’s sure of the performance. Are you sure.
“By the way, you still have one practical skill left, right? You have to see everything and judge that.”
“Ah….”
Of course, it was none of our business whether Lee Soo-hyeok was in danger or not. With the instructors, you’ll be safe.
Anyway, Cynthia seemed to have remembered now that she had two practical skills. Even if she is good at writing and practical skill 1, if she ruins practical skill 2… The result would be zero.
But, this is good enough.
I don’t think Cynthia will ruin the Practical Skills 2 test.
“Since I think I’ll do well on practical skills 2, then… I’ll do it as a gift. I’m thinking about what I’m going to get.”
“Uh… If you made your choice and don’t do well on the test tomorrow… ?”
“Then it can’t be helped.”
“Ah… uh, that’s kinda….”
“It’s just a joke… Because it looks like you worked hard. I’ll think about it without practical 2. Don’t look at it anyway. Understand?”
“… Yes!”
Cynthia smiled refreshingly, took my hand, and led me to the academy, saying that she would show me around.
From behind, I could hear Lee Soo-hyeok swinging his sword diligently, slaying the monsters coming up from the underground.
