Episode 53 Mock Dungeon Practice (3)
Kim Jin-ah. Sungwoo Park.
Jaehyun bit his lips after rolling the names of the two on the tip of his tongue for a moment.
‘……The Nornir system was aiming for this from the beginning. That’s why he gave me the quest called The First Junction.’
Nornir system a while ago. I ordered a special quest 《The First Turning Point》 for Jaehyun.
Giving differentiated compensation depending on whether to make the same choice as in the past or to make a different choice. An unusual quest of unknown meaning.
‘What does the alternative system want from me?’
Jaehyun thought about it, but couldn’t come to a conclusion easily.
Above all, now was not the time to focus on such things.
Jaehyun greeted the two approaching with a face as calm as possible.
Seo Ina covered her face and hid behind Jaehyun’s back, sticking out only her head.
“……nice to meet you. I am Magical Min Jaehyun. And this is Inana from the magic world. I’m counting on you.”
Jaehyun greeted the two instead of Seo Ina who was shy.
He pointed backwards lightly with his finger.
“As you can see, he’s a bit shy.”
“Ha ha it’s okay. If we go out together, we will become friends.”
“okay. Fortunately, we are not shy. We will become friends soon.”
‘There’s nothing different from before the regression. Both of them.’
Jaehyun smiled and looked at the two people trying to talk to Seo Ina.
A kind face and warm consideration.
The two people he had experienced in his previous life were all kind-hearted idiots.
It never goes well with radar. Those who want to go their own way even in the midst of competition.
And the two of them had no resentment while watching Jaehyun running away to live before returning.
I’m just glad that at least one person is alive. He just made the same stupid face.
After Jaehyun tried to unravel his hard expression, he looked at the three of them and said.
“then. Shall we start with the plan first?”
Jaehyun had no intention of running away this time.
His eyes were full of determination.
‘I have no intention of losing another team member.’
He had already concluded the question of the system.

“In a dungeon, you must keep one thing in mind. Never be shaken by whatever jumps out in front of you.
In particular, if the fighting world in the vanguard starts to shake, that party will surely be annihilated.”
Naturally, Jaehyun took over as the leader of Team 3.
The impact of the freshman hunt was so great. This is because he is not inferior to fighter-type radars in terms of size and has a unique leadership.
Jaehyun pointed out the variables that could happen in the dungeon.
From ABC to F type.
He explained the strategy he had set up to his team in detail. It was a kind of manual to be followed when a monster suddenly appeared.
Previously, during my martial arts school days. A manual created by Jaehyun to survive from the demons.
The team members who listened to his explanation of the operation idly listened to the story, then stuck out their tongues as if in admiration.
“Wow… As expected, it’s like being #1 in freshman hunting. The details of the operation are no joke.”
“Six in all? Hang in there. I will memorize it soon.”
Jaehyun’s strategy was so close to perfection that it was hard to find any gaps.
A manual designed to deal with enemies with optimized movements whenever and wherever monsters pop out.
The team members simply gaped in admiration for his ability to direct operations.
Meanwhile, Jaehyun let out a sigh of relief as he saw the team members agreeing with him.
‘For now, it’s fortunate.’
This mock dungeon is very difficult, but if you listen to yourself carefully, you can survive.
He knows the knowledge of the future, and his abilities are the most overwhelming of the current students.
But even so, if there are allies whose judgment is distorted, it will be very troublesome.
No matter what you do, you should be more wary of your allies than your enemies.
As Jaehyun knew, they were the first to die in the dungeon.
‘Park Seong-woo and Kim Jin-ah have no problem. At least it won’t cause any trouble.’
Park Seong-woo and Kim Jin-ah, whom Jae-hyun remembers, had a good heart.
That’s why the Kobold Road rectified the collapsed team and saved at least one person.
However, Jaehyun was well aware of the characteristics of a place called a dungeon.
A demon who never knows when and where something will pop out.
because it is such a place He thoroughly analyzed his skills.
‘The dungeon itself is not a difficult difficulty for me. Rather, it belongs to the easy side. But right now my skills lack variety. It has no choice but to be weak against unfavorable compatibility.’
Apart from strength, it is quite embarrassing to deal with opponents who are unfavorable to each other.
Fortunately, the boss monster that appears here is a D-class Kobold Lord. A level that is not difficult for reproduction.
Perhaps a single hit from the Chain of Lightning will clean it up.
‘That’s why it is forbidden to be vigilant.’
Dungeons are dangerous places.
It’s not like Jaehyun can manage all the aggro.
In the end, it was right to see that it depended on how active the other three people were.
Of course, apart from that, Jaehyun was thinking of doing his best as much as he could.
‘For now, I have to finish it somehow with my skills.’
Right now, I don’t have a single blank card.
I learned a few other skills on my own, but they are all low-level skills.
In terms of power, there was nothing like < Chain of Lightning > or < Judgment of Light >.
Furthermore, < Judgment of Light > is a skill that cannot be activated unless it is an undead monster.
If this is the case, the range of technology will inevitably be further reduced.
but.
‘I’ll save it somehow.’
Jaehyun said to his teammates with a determined face.
“If it gets aggro, I’ll try to do something about it. So don’t worry too much.”
“huh. I feel reassured for some reason…….”
Kim Jin-ah said, scratching the bridge of her nose. Park Seong-woo also had a happy face.
No wonder.
Because Jaehyun was strong and a dependable student with a corner to lean on.
At least they must have determined that they were not in danger.
At that time, Jaehyun was organizing his thoughts on the dungeon raid and leading the team.
Instructor Kim Ji-yeon’s clear voice echoed through the basement.
“everyone. Operation time is over. From now on, we will begin practicing the mock dungeon in earnest. The team leader of each team, please come forward.”
Jaehyun took a step forward at Instructor Jiyeon Kim’s words.
Glancing to the side, I saw Kim Yoo-jung with Ahn Ho-yeon.
They are the 4th.
‘At least Kim Yoo-jung won’t get hurt here.’
Jaehyun smiled lightly.
A team with a tanker of the same level as Ahn Ho-yeon will at least not get hurt from jumping aggro.
Probably, if things go on like before the return, there won’t be any surprises.
Kim Yoo-jung is also a genius in the top 3 of the magic world, so there shouldn’t be a big problem.
Instructor Kim Ji-yeon summoned each team leader, briefly explained the precautions, and announced the start of the mock dungeon practice in earnest.
“Please head to your assigned dungeon. Then I wish you the best of luck.”
“Then shall we depart soon?”
At Jaehyun’s words, Seo Ina was the first to catch up, followed immediately by Kim Jina and Park Seongwoo.
It was the start of the mock dungeon attack in earnest.
* * *
A spacious rectangular space filled with the smell of old, musty dust.
This is an old mine type dungeon.
A place where mainly E-class monsters in the form of kobolds or moles live.
Currently exploring this place was Team 4, which belonged to Ahn Ho-yeon, Kim Yoo-jung, Ha Yeon-ju, the magician, and Kim Se-ho, the martial artist.
Team 4, consisting of a total of four people, was moving little by little into the depths, thoroughly investigating the inside of the dungeon, as Instructor Kim Ji-yeon said.
“Anyway, why is it so shady here? Aren’t ghosts coming out?”
“Yeah… I can smell the dust too. It’s so unpleasant that it’s hard to breathe. annoying.”
Kim Yoo-jung and Ha Yeon-joo, who were walking in the rear, grumbled.
Ahn Ho-yeon, who had been walking ahead, looked back for a while and smiled.
“I can’t help it. This is not a dungeon. All the other kids will be in the same environment.”
“That’s true…”
Ahn Ho-yeon didn’t get angry at Kim Yoo-jung and Ha Yeon-joo’s voice.
He silently looked at the floor and the wall alternately, being wary of enemies that would pop up along the way.
‘You have to concentrate. If I do something wrong, my teammates might get seriously hurt.’
Of course, even if the demons come out, this is just a mock test.
There shouldn’t be a monster that corresponds to a higher species.
‘But it’s not safe either.’
“Certainly, kobolds will appear here, right? It’s a mine-type dungeon.”
“huh. Probably.”
At Kim Yoo-jung’s words, Kim Se-ho affirmed.
It’s not a high-level dungeon modeled after the eight worlds except for Midgard, but it’s also a place where you can get pretty good materials.
This is because it can mine various ores such as sapphire, ruby, and diamond.
“Even diamonds won’t fall here… Kyaa!”
Ha Yeon-ju, who had been muttering with her eyes closed, burst into a scream.
Sreung!
A weak magic power flowing through the air. Ahn Ho-yeon did not miss and quickly drew his sword and shouted at his teammates.
“Something is coming! Everyone to your seats!”
Kim Yoo-jung immediately responded to Ahn Ho-yeon’s words and found her place. The other day, he and Jaehyun worked together in subspace, and his ability to execute operations was better than others.
Ha Yeon-joo and Kim Se-ho were at a loss, but somehow found their place.
The two of them also took a combat stance relatively quickly and waited for Ahn Ho-yeon’s instructions.
Kirik?
The monster that appeared in front of them was a kobold, as expected.
A monster that is weak to divine magic that deals with light and has insignificant physical attack power.
‘But it’s the same thing that makes it difficult to deal with when they are in a crowd.’
Tadat!
Ahn Ho-yeon immediately ran forward.
Seho Kim kept his seat. Somehow, the two wizards could be attacked later, so they moved as they had agreed in advance.
“Alfheim’s light, become holy power and explode!”
―Active skill 《Flash Bomb》.
Without hesitation, Kim Yoo-jung immediately activated Flash Bomb, blinding nearby enemies. Soon after, Ha Yeon-joo also cast Haste on her teammates, increasing their movement and attack speed.
Awesome!
An Ho-yeon killed three kobolds in an instant with much more refined swordsmanship than before.
He rotated his body and shattered his opponent’s cervical spine, arms and legs, and lumbar vertebrae, and stood at the forefront.
That wasn’t all.
Kim Yoo-jung also began to defeat the demon by opening her magical power without losing.
“Wind of Helheim, sweep away all enemies in front of you!”
―Active skill «Air Blast».
The transparent wind leaked from the whole body wrapped around Kim Yoo-jung’s body and soon began to compress into a small sphere.
Kim Yoo-jung smiled and immediately fired magic at the enemy.
Kieeck!
Kuruk!
In an instant, the three kobolds were sorted out.
Truly an overwhelming talent.
Seeing Kim Yoo-jung’s movements, Ahn Ho-yeon’s face was stained with awe.
‘Even though she’s a magician, she’s not afraid at all and is taking down monsters…’
Ahn Ho-yeon realized that she didn’t just rank second in the freshman hunt with Jae-hyeon’s help.
‘I can’t lose either.’
He fixed his sword and looked around.
But no more enemies were seen nearby.
Ahn Ho-yeon sighed and checked the condition of his teammates.
“Is everyone okay?”
“Ah yes. Thanks to.”
“I’m perfectly fine too.”
Kim Yoo-jung and Ha Yeon-joo seemed to be uninjured.
however.
Kim Se-ho’s face was a little strange.
His face went pale and his whole body groaned. The team members’ faces stiffened as they heard the sound of bones crunching from the bizarrely bent arms and legs.
“Three Seho! are you okay?!”
“What is it? I’ve never heard of kobolds using poison!”
“Calm down for now…!”
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Before Ahn Ho-yeon’s words were finished, the party had no choice but to panic.
It was because impure magic began to flow from inside the dungeon.
A thick stench in the air.
thud! thud!
Hearing the sound, the three of them simultaneously shifted their gaze toward the leaking mana.
Kaaa…
The face of the monster that I confirmed by relying on the dim light in the cave.
Ahn Ho-yeon, Kim Yoo-jung and Ha Yeon-joo’s faces were all colored with astonishment.
“What the hell is this!? Why is the boss monster Kobold Lord in a place like this!”
