Episode 5
Prelude (3)
The spectacle of the two black Musmas staring at each other was not very nice, so I looked at it moderately and averted my gaze.
With the setting that the two are friends and rivals, Lee Young-woong plays the role of the only leash that can control Cha Seung-hyuk, who is leading the relationship to the worst.
Originally, the closer friends are, the more they curse each other and wish each other to fail… … .
Looking at the eyes of the two, I couldn’t help but admire how deep the friendship was, to the point where it was impossible to distinguish superiority and inferiority.
In a word, it means that they were afraid of each other.
That’s a real friend.
Cha Seung-hyeok, Lee Young-woong, Park Dong-gyun, Choi Gyuri, and Lee Yoo-ra.
There were other Tier 1s that appeared later, but these were the first ones that caught my eye.
– With the above, we will complete the entrance ceremony.
* * *
Hunter Training Academy.
An educational institution created based on the crazy education system that Korea has been proud of since the past.
Overseas, there is a saying, ‘If your child is an Awakener, send him to Korea to study even if you pay debt’, so there was a detailed setting that a lot of international students would come.
The culmination of a cascading curriculum consisting of middle school, high school, and university. The background of the story begins with admission to the first year of high school.
Accepting thousands of new students who pour in every year and taking responsibility for their lives by adding existing students there.
In addition to all kinds of educational facilities such as private training centers, shooting ranges, and fitness centers, it was not a campus, but a small city.
“Hey, when are you going to have dinner?”
“I don’t know, take care of yourself. I have a lot to do today.”
“ah… … The campus is really nice.”
“Is it that good?”
“Then don’t you like it? X Shina-.”
Excited freshmen around me are scattering in all directions as if they were already grouped with kids who already know each other, spitting outdated buzzwords among themselves and laughing.
Except for the scene seen in the game, it was a scene that was obviously nothing unusual that would be seen in real life.
There is nothing special about the new students walking around the school campus excitedly after the entrance ceremony.
If you think about it, on the screen in the monitor, it was depicted shorter and more briefly, so this side was closer to reality.
It was described as a short scene of about 3 seconds with a picture of people rushing out of the door with the sound of stamping feet for a moment.
Seeing the scene in real life like this, the scenes I saw while playing the game overlapped, so I felt a bit of a gap.
I feel far away from the crowd of students around me.
The unpleasant sensation that I felt at the moment made chicken skin grow on my forearm.
before possessing. Since my hobby was wasting my life on web novels or games, I thought I had already perfectly adapted to this common setting.
It seems that it was not at all.
-After the entrance ceremony, all freshmen, please go to your assigned classroom. Let me remind you again… … .
* * *
In the academy, homeroom teachers, education professors, and instructors are separated.
Every year, a huge number of students pour in from all over Korea and abroad, and in response to it, it is separated for efficient education of children.
In charge of education, active hunters belonging to the Hunter Association and professors from the academy are mainly in charge, but the homeroom teachers who communicate with and manage students are mainly retired hunters.
Retired hunters do not mean that all retired hunters are old. If I had an accident of injustice, I could have retired at a young age like the teacher in front of me.
Click-click-click-.
Every time I open the school gate and the expected homeroom teacher steps, I hear an unpleasant sound from an iron bar hitting the stone floor. There was nothing strange about it.
This is because the homeroom teacher who opens the door and stands in front of the lecture table is actually holding an iron cane.
Even if most of the injuries are recoverable, there is no way to do anything about the body that has been ripped off and disappeared into the monster’s belly, unless it is instantly killed by the trinity of recovery system magic, potion, and future medicine.
I didn’t like it then, but after I fell here, I was grateful to my friend who recited the settings of the game he had developed until his eardrums ruptured.
“Everyone take a seat. I’ll start the morning ordinance.”
The sound of hitting the podium made the students focus on the podium, and he, who was wearing shiny sunglasses, opened his mouth.
“Nice to meet you. You guys won’t be interested in what I am, just know the old grade, I was a B-grade intermediate, and now I am Kim Chan-ho, who is in charge of your homeroom.”
Chanho Kim.
A genius of misfortune who blew off one of his legs while doing the initial response with Kang-hyeok’s parents at the sudden Seoul Gate.
When he turns his head and looks for Kang-hyeok, he sees him sitting in a corner with his friend Park Dong-gyun. He was listening carefully to Kim Chan-ho’s words with a mixture of tension and excitement on his face.
“The arch is turning his head… … . They are looking for prey.”
“Hey, this isn’t a regular high school, it’s an academy… … . An Awakener is an ability, not an impression.”
“That guy, the physical grade he received during the high school promotion test was quite high… … .”
“… … I’ll have to be careful and avoid it.”
no… … I looked around to see the faces of the classmates… … . They do it too much, really.
“Concentrate properly!”
Kim Chan-ho frowned at the momentary cluttered classroom atmosphere and continued.
“By the way, I heard that there are a lot of really special guys in the 1st year class 9 that you guys belong to.”
It was a bonus to glance at me while I was paying attention.
As Kim Chan-ho spoke, he glanced at the students sitting in the classroom. In the middle, where his eyes stopped, there were definitely special kids sitting there.
Cha Seung-hyeok, Lee Young-woong, Kang Hyuk, Park Dong-gyun, Lee Yoo-ra, and Choi Gyuri.
Tier 1 characters and protagonists currently seen in class.
Kang-hyeok was attached to his ball friend, Park Dong-gyun, and Cha Seung-hyeok, Lee Young-woong, Lee Yu-ra, and Choi Gyuri were all in one place.
They say they play with each other, and the children in the family seem to be quite close, probably because they’ve been together since childhood.
Of course, if I forced them into the party, it would be nice right away. They were the ones I couldn’t touch right now, and I wonder if they would welcome them to come soon.
So, my real first target was inside this classroom, but I stopped thinking because I could see Kim Chan-ho glaring at me right in front of me to turn my head there.
She was a snow-white girl reminiscent of platinum.
“From now on, you will receive education to become a full-fledged awakened person.”
Kim Chan-ho sat down at the desk in front of the lecture room with a cane and tapped one of his legs with the cane.
“From next week, if you think that the performance evaluation that is going on right away is as easy as it was in middle school, you will quickly fall behind and be suspended or expelled.”
Taking the atmosphere of the class in an instant, he rolled up his lips and continued.
“The majority of students who drop out are cases in which they dropped out due to lack of ability because they did not meet the graduation requirements. If you drop out, regardless of gender, you will be automatically enlisted as an awakening noncommissioned officer after graduating after transferring to employment. Wouldn’t you like that too?”
When the story of the military came out, even the remaining laughter from the guys around him completely fell out.
Threatening the kids with the military because there’s nothing to do… … .
At the end of the threat mixed with realistic advice, the bell announcing break time rang.
* * *
“nice to meet you-! An awakened person belonging to the Hunter General Association, who will serve as your instructor. I am Son Min-guk.”
A 2m tall giant with a smile in full bloom, as if showing off his shiny white teeth, greeted us at the center of the group training room.
Looking at its gigantic size and white hair on white skin, it reminded me of a polar bear.
The weapons displayed in the storage box aligned with five rows to the left and right of Instructor Sohn created a sense of pressure in conjunction with his large body, but his pleasant voice neutralized the atmosphere with a light tone of voice.
“I guess you weren’t satisfied with the basic training in middle school.”
He took a step forward and opened his mouth. At Instructor Sohn’s words, cheers and tension flowed among the students.
As I had never been to middle school, it was the latter, of course.
“Fortunately! From high school, it will be held in the format you want.”
I searched for related materials for a week before entering school, but can I catch up with what other guys learned with their bodies for 3 years and practiced for only 1 week?
“Then, please bring a training weapon that suits you first.”
With that said, he stepped aside, revealing the weapons behind us in front of our eyes.
All kinds of weapons were behind him: swords, spears, swords, bows, guns.
From the moment he became an Awakener, because of his physical ability and usable magical power that are on a different level from ordinary people. From training weapons to ordinary people, I know that special materials mined inside the gate or by-products of monsters must be used, so the price goes up to the ceiling.
Not only the type, but also the variety of sizes, showed the end of the money fuck.
Watching the other kids move quickly, I moved forward as well.
The weapon I would use was decided.
An ordinary longsword with a 1.2m long blade.
It wasn’t simply common or a choice for ostentatiousness.
It was a reasonable choice because of the explanation I heard from my friend, the developer of the game.
I’m familiar with guns after being discharged from the military, and I want to fight safely one step away from battle. It’s like a chimney, but… … .
… … Considering my characteristics, the setting of the game, and the hidden talent of Taeyang Geum, it wasn’t a gun.
In a way, it felt like being forcibly sold for a weapon, but for modern people, weapon proficiency was there, unless it was a gun.
As I grabbed the handle of the sword, which was not sharpened because it was for training, I felt a grip that wrapped around my hand as if I was used to it.
Looking at the students who quickly returned to their seats, Son Min-guk stepped forward again and said,
“ruler! If you have your own weapon, would you please face each other with the person next to you?”
When I turned my head to his words, there was an ordinary boy next to me, nothing special, just as I intended.
The name tag, Kim Gun-min, on the left chest of his white gym suit moved up and down anxiously, as if representing the pathetic guy’s feelings.
Kim Gun-min, whose face was white as if he had seen something he shouldn’t have seen, looked around and looked around as if he was anxiously wishing for something.
People around him only shook their heads and looked at him with pity.
No, this bastard… … . what did i do
Say it again even if you hate it.
He reached out his hand to the trembling guy and said.
“Please take care of me. It’s the golden sun.”
“yes-!”
He looked at my outstretched hand, and in a frightened manner he reached out and grabbed my hand.
Shit, it seems like it’s hard to get close.
I sighed at my hopes of being destroyed in an instant, and with a sigh, I retrieved my hand and grabbed the handle of the longsword that had been soldered to the sword belt.
“Everyone, let’s warm up. Would you like to lightly exchange sums with the person next to you? First of all… … Let’s do it for 10 minutes.”
Sreureung-.
Let’s pull out the hand holding the handle of the sword and pull it up. The sharpened longsword for training was pulled out of its scabbard with a clear, metallic sound.
“Hee-.”
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Just in time, the clear blade of the sword, which received the sunlight from the front, flashed, and at that light, Kim Gun-min drew his sword and pointed it at me while walking backwards as if running away in a panic.
I could have used the talent, but I didn’t use it this time simply because I wanted to test my skill and the talent of the golden sun.
I didn’t even know there was a character called Kim Gun-min, and I can’t remember his name.
If you look at the character table, the lowest tier fellow character probably occupies a corner.
It was only possible to infer the approximate parameters.
Average F-E grade. From a physical point of view, this one has the upper hand.
It was definitely a suitable opponent as a skill tester.
There was a reason why I chose this suitable guy as my opponent.
“You must not use magic power! Now, please begin!”
Even though there was a signal from the instructor, he was a guy who was only looking at his eyes while looking at his eyes… … .
I jumped in first.
Gun-Min Kim raised his sword and crossed it, blocking it as if it was splitting the face.
I didn’t care about that, I gave strength to both hands holding the handle, stood the sword aside, and pressed it along the guy’s sword as if I was pressing it, and he also let the tip of the sword lie down ‘as usual’.
Defend against the attack successfully. Again, based on the ‘standard’, he held the sword with both hands and held the handle tightly to his chest, defending the stabbing and then attempting a counterattack.
Sharing a sum with the guy, I nodded inwardly.
It was because the brain had arbitrarily understood Kim Gun-min’s swordsmanship.
6 directions centered on oneself, and 54 directions of defense, attack, evasion, and counterattack that are divided into 9 sectors.
The jeongseok is definitely neat and there is no unnecessity. However, there was no splendor to deceive the opponent or a blow to send the opponent away at once.
A sword that focuses on balance that can deal with any situation.
If I could condense that sword into one word… … .
Upright and upright swordsmanship.
It was a straight swordsmanship.
Since I saw all the necessary errands, I decided to make it comfortable.
With parameters superior to that guy’s, the stabbing sword swung to the left, avoiding it, and at the same time -.
I grabbed the wrist of the guy who stabbed me and put the sword in my right hand to the guy’s neck.
The cool flashing blade of the sword threatened the guy’s neck.
A decision made in a single moment.
“Did I win?”
As if swallowing the saliva in his mouth, I could see his neckband go up and down as he aimed the sword.
As I put the sword I was aiming at Gunmin’s neck and let go of his tightly clenched wrist, the guy collapsed on the floor as if he had lost his strength.
“ruler! Today, I didn’t have a specific gate practice or other schedule, so I organized the class comfortably. So, shall we proceed by switching opponents?”
Listening to the instructor’s words that sounded like background music, I moved away from the tier 1 group and permeated among the ordinary guys.
If you think about the parameters of those guys, if you win now, you will probably go to the goal soon.
You will need minimal preparation to face these guys.
After sending Kim Gun-min, I thoroughly observed the swordsmanship while dealing with the other guys who chose to focus on swordsmanship.
Each time I passed one, my sword got closer to perfection.
As soon as he knocked down the 7th opponent, the updated notification window announced his existence.
– Weapon proficiency. The sword has reached rank E.
Listening to the notification sound, I remembered a conversation with an old friend.
‘hey. What is the most necessary thing for Taeyang’s character?’
‘… … Why do you ask me that, god damn.’
‘no. A bit of tea that I’m not so interested in, pay it in moderation. Are you sure you will like this character? And maybe not? Will there be something to write about later?’
‘Crazy bastard… … . That’s why I’m going to read a little bit of a novel.’
I had a lot of things to write, hey.
‘Think about it too. Well, I’m thinking about putting it in.’
‘Well, it’s still the main villain in the beginning, but I put in an appropriate setting for the title of genius… … .’
‘Kuhm… … ah. It would be perfect if you put in a setting like a swordsmanship genius, something that seems to have something but is not practical-.’
‘Anyway, it’s a game you make. It doesn’t matter if I put in a setting or two, right?’
‘that… … yes?’
If I were really in front of my eyes at that time, I would feel so proud that I would even want to stroke my big claws.
‘And you can give the main character a dog cheating skill. hmm… … Oh, for example, the status window for leveling up.’
‘Ah, it’s perfect if the main character puts -noohohyeok-in there with a buff or something, really. The story of a protagonist who has nothing but catches such a great guy through hard work and becomes a better guy is a cliché, but… … .’
‘I do not know.’
‘okay… … . Put it in and think about it. It’s not like he’s the only one with the genius setting.’
Thank you, kid-.
For making Taeyang a swordsman prodigy.
“everyone-! Unfortunately, I’m running out of time, so I’ll end today’s class!”
The setting to create the background of the character was working harder than anyone else in a world overlaid with games.
Hearing the instructor’s voice announcing the end of class, I returned to the classroom with a smile that never faded and a sword in my hand.
Laughter continued to come out at the feel of the handle of the sword, which was heavy and fit comfortably in the hand.
* * *
When I returned to the classroom after taking a shower after the practice class, rumors were circulating in the classroom that I was harassing the weaker students during the practice class.
life… … .
Poor him :)))
