Episode 31 Freshman Hunt (1)
“Hello. Dear students who have been admitted to Milles Academy. I am Jain Gu, the chairman of Miles.”
Gu Jain said while looking around the audience with a sad smile.
Chairman Goo Ja-in.
He was at the root of all the tragedies that would happen here in the future.
Thanks to his greed, dozens of cadets die every year.
In particular, when Jaehyun was in school, many times more people lost their lives.
Jaehyun clenched his fists as he looked at Goo Jain.
‘In this life, it’s more important than anything else to get rid of Gu Jain quickly. If you don’t do that, you don’t know how many more innocent cadets will die in the future. It’ll interfere with my plans in the future.’
The two coldly lowered eyes look at Gu Ja-in’s despicable face.
The sound of applause was heard, but Jaehyun did not respond and just kept an eye on him.
The cadets here still don’t know.
Gu Ja-in’s hidden reality.
‘But right now there’s no way. I have to wait.’
It was unavoidable for him.
The power of Milles Academy is one of the best in the world.
Jaehyun’s power was too weak to immediately uncover Goo Jain’s corruption.
‘Now, while steadily increasing my strength, I keep Goo Jain in check.’
Fortunately, the academy has several facilities that can help Jaehyun grow.
If there is anything available, use it.
Jaehyun was ready to use anything to make himself stronger.
Miles was no exception.
Furthermore.
‘I can’t just leave Kim Yoo-jung alone.’
He also had other problems.
Kim Yoo-jung will lose her life after suffering a tragedy at the academy in the near future.
Even while trying to save Jaehyun.
‘Don’t let me die this time.’
Jaehyun made up his mind.
It is one’s own will that entered the death game where one does not know when one will die.
To save Kim Yoo-jung and to become stronger to protect her mother.
It was all a decision he made.
Jaehyun put his hand on Kim Yoojung’s shoulder and said.
“Eat your heart out. know? You never know what will happen at Miles.”
“What is it? you take care of me don’t worry. I will do great.”
At Jaehyun’s words, Kim Yoojung replied with a hearty laugh. That easy-going smile without pretense was her charm.
At her reaction, Jaehyun nodded his head with a slightly relieved face.
“okay. I don’t think so.”
In fact, even before the tragedy, Kim Yoo-jung was a genius who was ranked in the top 3 in the magic world.
Jaehyun, who had just changed his course this way, was never in a position to worry about.
While the two were talking, Gu Jain’s words, which had been cut off for a moment, resumed.
“Then, students. From now on, the entrance ceremony for Milles Academy will begin in earnest… I’d like to say that. To be honest, this hard atmosphere is a bit boring, isn’t it?”
The reenactment of
‘disgusting baby …….’
Jae-hyun knows best how dangerous the event Gu Ja-in has prepared is.
There are not yet as many casualties as the full-scale event that will take place later, but even that will be quite a psychological shock to the freshmen.
However, there was nothing for Gu Ja-in to accommodate the cadets.
Gu Jain only uses the cadets as tools.
“You already know that. There is a special event prepared for the entrance ceremony of Milles Academy. We are going to start that event right now.”
One of the biggest events at Milles Academy and an incident that frustrates many new students.
that’s right.
Gu Jain’s face was filled with joy.
His greedy lips moved more slowly and clearly than ever before.
“From now on, we will start the ‘freshman hunt’.”
* * *
There was a thick silence in the auditorium.
The weather in the hall was obviously cloudy, like a dark cloud swallowing up rain.
freshman hunt.
One of the representative events of Milles Academy and an event called freshmen’s hell.
‘About 5 percent of the cadets drop out of here each year. An event that is so difficult and makes you feel your limits. You can’t relax at all.’
“Then, from now on, I will explain the rules for hunting freshmen.”
Gu Ja-in looked at the students’ reactions and opened his mouth with a satisfied face.
“Freshman Hunt is a game where current students and freshmen are placed in a subspace and have each other steal name tags. Players who participate in the game earn points every time they steal a badge, which you can use towards better dorms and facilities.”
In fact, at Milles Academy, facility use rights are also differentially paid according to grades.
For example, if you get an A grade or higher in the monthly evaluation, you can use a large hotel room with a swimming pool alone, while if you get a D grade or lower, you have to fight with four roommates.
At this time, the point system is what helps you overcome this terrible life.
Points work on all food, clothing and shelter for cadets attending Milles.
Since it is a place cut off from the outside world, the cadets here are self-sufficient in almost everything.
If you want to eat more delicious food, if you want to get nicer clothes and a more comfortable bed, more points are required.
‘Damn PTSD…’
Of course, Jaehyun had never used this system to his advantage.
In the first place, this was a system to give all the support to the top cadets, and Jaehyun was the lowest resident here before returning.
The starting line was different from the high-ranking rankers from the beginning.
“But here you are going to ask some questions. First, of course, the current students are stronger. How will you balance the events? It is a skill.”
Gu Jain raised the corner of his mouth.
“Both freshmen and current students can only use C-grade or lower skills in Subspace. Therefore, the types of skills that can be used are similar.”
This wasn’t very good news for Jaehyun.
If you interpret Guin’s words, except for the basic magic he possesses, skills such as < Chain of Lightning > are sealed.
Of course, apart from that, there are no restrictions on the use of unique skills or EX-class skills.
Inherent skills are special skills that can only be used by individual cadets, so it is a rule not to place restrictions on them, and EX-level skills are new-level skills that only Jaehyun with the Nornir system possesses.
At first glance, it seems that they care about balancing things.
However, there was one big contradiction in Gu Jain’s words.
There was an item about skill restrictions in the rules, but there was no hemisphere about stats.
This meant that stats were not subject to regulation.
Of course, it is an advantage for students who have received professional education for several more years.
While thinking, Gu Jain’s explanation continued.
“Also, this subspace is a space where special magic power flows. All skills used here are reduced to 1/10 times their normal power. This is a device prepared for the safety of the cadets, so you don’t have to worry at all about the risk of getting hurt.”
Most of the cadets, including Kim Yoo-jung, let out a sigh of relief.
However, Jaehyun still only glared at Gu Jain’s rotten eyes with a sad face.
‘He’s talking bullshit.’
Even if there is such a rule anyway, the situation will change at any time depending on Gu Ja-in’s influence.
That much, the power Gu Jain has within Milles is beyond imagination.
It was he who had absolute power within the academy.
Gu Jain took a step forward and continued his explanation.
“Returning students earn 10,000 points every time they steal a freshman’s badge. Conversely, if a freshman steals a student’s name tag, he or she gets 100,000 points. I hope that all new students will actively participate.”
Jaehyun gritted his teeth.
Most of Gu Jain’s words were outright lies.
There’s probably only one thing that person wants from this event.
It is to discover and nurture talented new students at an early stage.
The rest of the cadets are bridesmaids who make them shine.
That was it.
“I’m annoyed……”
Jaehyun was also a foolish role to lift others up in the past.
After being sent to subspace, he was out due to a pincer attack by the student team in just an hour, and was ridiculed by others and turned into a laughing stock.
‘I’ll give you a bridesmaid this time. My goal is to be number one unconditionally.’
Jaehyun made up his mind.
Although there are many points earned by freshmen, this event is unconditionally advantageous to current students.
In addition, there is no need to explain that the magic world, which requires casting in a 1v1 fight, is at a disadvantage.
Jaehyun looked back at Kim Yoojung standing next to him and said.
“Kim Yoo-jung. We need to move with someone else we can trust. If you fall into sub-space, the martial arts world and the magic world will mix. You know what I mean?”
“of course. When martial arts and magic of the same rank are matched one-on-one, the probability of the magic world winning is almost non-existent. On the other hand, in the magical world, the more like-minded people are, the stronger they become.”
Jaehyun nodded at Kim Yoojung’s clear answer.
For a cadet who has never entered a dungeon, this is a very good answer.
as she said
You can’t survive this game just by doing well alone.
The biggest keyword of this event is…….
‘union.’
Jaehyun already knew how to win this game.
There are also cards prepared in advance in preparation for variables.
Meanwhile, Goo Ja-in looked at the embarrassed freshman and the current students participating in the freshman hunt.
The twisted infatuation on Gu Ja-in’s face stays and then dissipates.
The watch ticked off the hour and vibrated lightly. Gu Jain smiled brightly and clapped his hands.
“Then let’s start the event. I wish all the new students good luck.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge black magic circle rose from the floor and began to suck in all the cadets in the auditorium.
Jaehyun quickly grabbed Kim Yoojung by the waist and pulled her into his arms.
‘This is a kind of multi-transfer magic. If you are in contact with another person at the moment of transmission, you can move with that person.’
Jaehyun was thinking of thoroughly using the rules of this game.
however.
Here, an unexpected variable that Jaehyun had not expected occurred.
“Aww!”
Right away, Kim Yoo-jung’s fuss caught on her waist, and she tripped and fell forward.
Right before being sent, Jaehyun bumped into another person and came into contact with him.
coo coo coo…!
When the black darkness engulfs them and Jae-Hyun and Kim Yoo-Jung finally open their eyes.
Jaehyun found out who he bumped into when he fell at the end.
Black hair and hazelnut colored eyes.
It was Seo Ina.
* * *
Yeonhwa Guild representative Yoo Seongeun’s office.
Seong-jae Park handed over the file brought to Seong-eun Yoo and began briefing on what had happened so far.
“For now, all the rice cakes about the CEO’s illness have subsided. Reporters who gave false reports are all suing. It will probably be sorted out in a few months.”
“thank you. And… I’m sorry for my brother.”
“no. It’s hard to handle these things alone, so I’m here. Please wait a little longer in this case.”
Seongjae Park nodded and said.
Yoo Sung-eun sighed and put a hand on his forehead.
Even if Yoo Seon-jae was a younger brother who was about to go out, he never dreamed that he would spread misinformation about himself in this way.
Honestly, an ugly human who doesn’t even think of me as a younger brother anymore.
My body trembled with disgust.
Park Seong-jae noticed Yoo Seong-eun’s heart and changed the story to another topic.
“And finally, today is Min Jae-hyun’s entrance ceremony at Milles Academy.”
“uh?! Has it already been that time?!”
Yuseong was startled and quickly picked up his smartphone and turned it on.
However, it was already a little past ten o’clock.
Yoo Seong-eun muttered with a sad expression.
“Before the entrance ceremony, I was thinking of leaving a message saying to do well… but I can’t see it right now anyway. Will it be held for three days again?”
“If it’s ‘Freshman Hunt,’ that’s right. It is said that it will be held in sub-space for three days.”
“I can’t even use my cell phone in there anyway. We should talk after we get back.”
Park Seong-jae stretched out his chest as if he knew that, and replied with a confident tone.
“Actually, I thought you would, so I sent a text message on behalf of CEO Yoo Seong in advance.”
“yes?! really? What is your reply? What did Jaehyun say?”
“Don’t worry.”
At those words, Yoosung laughed.
An event feared by ninety-nine out of a hundred cadets entering Milles Academy.
freshman hunt.
Don’t worry about the subject of freshmen in an irrational game where current students and freshmen have to face each other.
“That is a believable answer.”
“That’s how it is. If Jaehyun shows off all his skills, it’s for sure.”
“I’ll take first place.”
Yooseong intercepted these words and said.
The two laughed and exchanged glances briefly, then stretched out at the same time.
Yoo Sung-eun laughed lightly while looking at the calendar hanging on the wall.
“Then I must be looking forward to seeing how active the disciple will be.”
