Episode 34 Freshman Hunt (4)
“You… what the hell are you?! How did you get Shin Joon-sang out in one shot with the subject of being a freshman!”
Kwon So-yul’s high-pitched voice resounded inside the subspace field.
It was a situation she couldn’t understand.
No matter how stupid he may be, Shin Jun-sang has a good knowledge of swordsmanship.
To think that he was only a freshman and lost 1 to 1 to the magic world.
“Kim Yoo-jung! I’ll help you, so let’s finish it quickly. I sent you an invitation to the party, so accept it right away.”
“uh? uh! okay!”
Kim Yoo-jung made an expression that she did not know why Jae-hyun acted, but she was clearly aware that the current situation was going in their favor.
A little while ago, Jaehyun knocked Shin Junsang out with his overwhelming martial arts.
It doesn’t seem like he’s looking like he’s going to lose.
‘……Was Min Jae-hyun really that strong?’
As a martial artist in the past, he was always troubled because he couldn’t show a good image.
But it wasn’t enough that he changed his course to the magic world overnight, so he adapted so quickly?
‘Of course, I grew up surprisingly fast every time I went to tutoring… but I didn’t think I would blow up the current students in one blow.’
But there was no time to think deeply.
There was an enemy right in front of me.
It was not too late to think about it after killing Kwon So-yul.
―You have succeeded in forming a party.
―Party (2/2)
Leader: Min Jae-hyeon
Party Member: Kim Yoo
-jung Kim Yoo-jung, who accepted the party proposal by manipulating the system, moved her gaze toward Kwon So-yul.
She was looking at Jaehyun and herself in confusion.
‘Worth a try.’
While watching her movements, Kim Yoo-jung took a breath and prepared to attack.
Now the situation has been reversed.
one less. There are as many as three allies.
‘I don’t know if that kid in the back will really help us… but moving alone here is crazy. He’ll probably make a wise choice.’
Kim Yoo-jung nodded slightly and looked at Jae-hyun.
Kwon So-yul, who was confronting him, bit his lip.
‘……No matter how I am, 3:1 is dangerous. I have to evacuate for now.’
Freshmen and current students. Even if it’s a battle between the magic world and the martial arts world, this is dangerous.
Not only was I being pushed back in the battle of numbers, but I was just appreciating the skill of reenactment.
immediately after conclusion. Kwon So-yul quickly started running towards Kim Yoo-jung.
Fierce momentum, as if he would devour the enemy at any moment while holding the dagger tightly.
Jaehyun smiled at him.
‘Will you kill one person first, create a chaotic situation, and then run away? ……Well, it’s not a bad decision.
That’s a story that only applies when Kim Yoo-jung is an ordinary person.’
Kim Yoo-jung is a genius with an aptitude of 85 in the magic world.
Its true value was only hidden by Seo In-na and Jae-hyun.
Casting and magical power body balance, etc. It is equipped with phenomenal talent that does not fall out of all magic-related evaluations.
Caang!
Kwon So-yul held the dagger in reverse and stabbed it directly into Kim Yoo-jung’s nape.
However, Kim Yoo-jung’s defense field first accurately deflected her attack.
Jaehyun stuck out his tongue, admiring Kim Yoojung’s ability to use magical powers.
‘Durability of the defense field varies depending on how much magical power the magician possesses. If it is enough to block Kwon So-yul’s attack, it means that Kim Yu-jung’s current ability is the best of Milles. I’m sure he has talent.’
moment to think.
Kim Yoo-jung did not stop and spread her magic again.
At the same time, a small chain tinged with blue light floats up and shoots straight away.
A heavy chain that begins to bind Kwon So-yul in an instant.
“Big! This!”
Jaehyun smiled at Kwon Soyul, who was flustered.
What Kim Yu-jung showed me now was one of the skills she used often.
《Mana Chain》.
Originally designed to bind the demon, it was a restraining magic that blocked the enemy.
When the electricity attribute is added to this mana chain, Jaehyun’s A-class skill, 《Chain of Lightning》.
When wood attribute is added, it becomes 《Chain of Flood Damage》, when ice attribute is added, it becomes 《Chain of Ice Wall》.
Basically, 《Mana Chain》 is a C-class skill, but its utilization was very good as it derived a higher skill.
Jaehyun infused his body with mana and at the same time focused all his nerves on his fingertips.
Of course, Kim Yoo-jung is holding up well now, but she must not be used to using other magic while blocking attacks.
Here, reproduction is the fastest and most concise way to end.
‘Then let’s finally see it…….’
The moment Jaehyun raised his mana and was about to shoot Kwon Soyul.
I started to hear Seo Ina’s voice from behind.
Surprisingly, she was reciting casting to activate magic.
“… Alfheim’s holy light, become a brilliant holy sword!”
Tsutsutsutsut!
A sword emitting an unusually brilliant light rose in the air and was soon plunged into Kwon So-yul’s heart at an unbelievable speed.
The overwhelming speed that even Kwon So-yul, a martial artist, could not respond to.
“…….”
Watching Seo Eana’s sword rushing forward without a word, Kim Yoo-jung quickly lowered her head.
Jaehyun looked at Seo Ina with his eyes wide open.
‘…I knew that Ina would become stronger in the near future. But I never thought I’d be this strong from this point on.’
In the past, I had no particular interest in magic cadets, so I didn’t know at all.
However, Seo Eana, whom I just saw, far exceeded Jaehyun’s expectations.
Even though they hadn’t fully bloomed yet, their talents were shining brightly.
Sap-!
A fierce noise rips through the air.
Soon, at the end of Kwon So-yul’s neck, Ina’s holy sword struck directly.
Quaang!
With the sound of the explosion, sand and dust floated up, creating a whirlwind that engulfed the party.
Seo Na-na, Kim Yoo-jung and Min Jae-hyeon. All eyes are directed to one place.
“Oh my goodness… Riga…!”
Kwon So-yul uttered words close to death and collapsed.
After a while, her body also became transparent like Shin Jun-sang, and soon lost its shape.
system sounds at the same time.
―Player ‘Kwon So-yul’ is out.
―Player ‘Kim Yoo-jung’ earned 50,000 points according to his contribution.
―Player ‘Seo Eana’ earned 50,000 points according to her contribution.
“……Did I interrupt you?”
Seo Eana returned the holy sword back to its magical form and asked. Kim Yoo-jung stared blankly for a while, then waved her hand and said.
“no way. what! I live thanks to you. Thank you.”
“……You said it earlier. How would you like to go together? Are those words still valid?”
At those words, the corner of Jaehyun’s mouth rose slowly.
Seo Eana was looking at him and Kim Yoo-jung with interest.
‘I think I should update the information about Seo Eana.’
Reticence, distrust and… curiosity.
“I will leave it up to you.”
Jaehyun held out his hand to her.
Seo Ina did not refuse his hand.
* * *
This is Kim Yoo-jung and Seo Ea-na and Min Jae-hyun. The following three members formed a party and became active.
Here, the party can be seen as a system to prepare for the enemy’s attack in ‘freshman hunting’, share points, and furthermore, plan a counterattack.
As in the case of Kim Yoo-jung and Seo E-na a moment ago, the system automatically distributes points according to contribution, but that is only a temporary measure.
It’s far better to have a party to make sure everything is in order.
‘Above all, if you form a party, you won’t be able to harm your teammates. It means that the risk of Seo Eana betraying will disappear.’
It was fortunate for Jaehyun.
If Seo Ina betrays herself along the way, things will get very complicated afterwards.
It was natural that such a threat had been eliminated in advance.
“Still, I’m glad I found the shelter early. Otherwise, I would have really died.”
Kim Yoo-jung said, trembling.
The place where the party is staying now is a shelter near the ‘Nightmare Forest’.
‘Kim Yoo-jung is right. Damn I found it before evening. It might have been embarrassing if it stayed at night.’
The exterior of the shelter we arrived a little while ago was a place that looked like a shabby cave with a narrow entrance.
There is a strong barrier outside to make it difficult for others to find, and there is almost no light due to flood damage around it.
‘Maybe it’s a device that makes it hard to find.’
In fact, this place was so well hidden that even detection magic wouldn’t work.
It is very difficult to find a place like this right away, even for a wizard with excellent senses.
Of course, Jaehyun knew the locations of some shelters from his past memories, so he was able to find them without much difficulty.
As I was organizing my thoughts, Seo Ina suddenly glanced outside the shelter.
Outside, there was a group of students who had attacked the group earlier.
At first glance, the number was five or six.
In addition, they were a mixture of magic and martial arts, so they seemed quite difficult to deal with.
Seo Ina looked at Jaehyun again and asked.
“…I’ve let go of my sigh… but what should I do next?”
“Iknow, right. I entered the shelter once to avoid those humans… What do you think?”
Kim Yoo-jung and Seo E-na naturally asked Jae-hyun as if they were the leader.
Well, just looking at the battle a little while ago, it was right to assume that Jaehyun was the real leader of this party.
Since we didn’t have a separate leader in the first place, it’s right to move around someone with excellent skills.
Jaehyun thought about it for a moment, then nodded his head.
“As you already know, I can’t last long here. Because the shelter has a use time. You can use it comfortably from midnight to 8:00 in the morning, but… as time passes, the power of the barrier surrounding this place will weaken and eventually it will be exposed to the outside world.”
In a way, it’s a natural story.
Basically, ‘hunting freshmen’ is a process of filtering out cotyledons that are likely to become.
The shelter exists, but continuing to hide in it is an act that goes against the original purpose.
Thanks to that, the penalty is prepared.
“If the enemy waits outside, the shelter’s stealth will eventually break. Before that, we have to hit first. Well, I have to collect points anyway.”
Jaehyun calmly organized his strategy in his head.
In the unlikely event that the operation fails, the trust between the two may be lost.
‘I have to see the game for sure here.’
Jaehyun gave a small nod of his head with a determined look on his face and then started explaining the tactics in earnest.
Fortunately, Kim Yoo-jung and Seo In-na readily followed Jae-hyun’s instructions.
‘……Anyway, why is Seo Eana listening to me so well?’
Kim Yoo-jung is a long-time friend of hers, so he probably wouldn’t have any objection, but for him, it was a bit strange that Seo In-na followed his words.
‘Do you have any other plans? No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem like that.’
Seo Eana was active by asking questions about the operation or suggesting other methods.
That moment when Jaehyun looked at her face and fell into trouble for a moment. Kim Yoo-jung grabbed Seo In-na’s hand and said.
“By the way… If you’re a freshman, you’re born in 2004, right?”
“Ah yes.”
“Me and him are all the same. How about just talking?”
“That’s…”
Seeing Seo Ina who couldn’t say it easily, Jaehyun stretched out Kim Yoojung’s cheek.
“hey. You may find it uncomfortable, but don’t suddenly force it.”
“Hajimrr…….”
Kim Yoo-jung said with a chuckle.
The pronunciation was so broken that I couldn’t understand what it meant, but the meaning was clear.
Seo In-na kept looking at Jae-hyun’s face while the two of them were joking around, and then nodded as if she had made up her mind.
“no. It’s not uncomfortable… it’s not. no.”
“You don’t have to overdo it.”
“are you okay. It’s because I’m a shy person, so I don’t get along well with other people.”
“okay? If that’s the case… I’ll put my words at ease.”
‘Are you starting to get a little closer? It’s hard to see that we’ve become on the same side as this, but… it’s not bad anyway.’
Even while Kim Yoo-jung and Seo In-na were having an awkward conversation, Jae-hyun pondered over how to deal with the enemy outside.
After a while.
After clearing up his thoughts, Jaehyun opened his mouth.
“I will continue explaining the operation.”
Jaehyun explained to the two the strategy he finally came up with.
The two nodded in admiration for Jaehyun’s extensive knowledge and strategy plan.
The two of them never thought of it.
It was a very ingenious operation.
