Episode 45 First Class (3)
A little while ago.
The face of a cadet, who was watching the three from a few meters away, twisted.
Soo-Hyeok Lee.
He was a cadet who had reached the 8th level with Kim Yoo-jung in the mana room test.
Now he is not the grades he has achieved. I was distracted elsewhere.
Jaehyun Min.
It was a guy who broke through the 10th level of the mana room and was proud of himself.
‘That guy… How did he break through level 10 of the mana room?’
The 10th stage of the mana room is a section where even the instructor needs to pay special attention to breathing.
But you said you came back intact without shedding a single drop of sweat?
After pondering for a while, Lee Soo-hyuk came to his own conclusion and nodded.
‘It must have been secretly wearing expensive priestly equipment.’
It’s a very rare case, but there are quite a few items that help users resist mana poisoning.
For example, equipment such as 《The Horn of the Unicorn》 or 《Light Cloth》.
If you wear these equipment items and enter the dungeon, you will be able to move more freely even in the torrent of mana.
Of course, this is a method mainly used by martial arts who are relatively weak in mana management.
Even among the magic world, those who are not accustomed to using magic or who are new to dungeons often increase their vitality by wearing equipment.
‘Yeah… There’s no way a guy you haven’t even heard of unless you’re a templar could have broken through level 10 of the mana room. Even Seo Ina stopped at level 9.’
Seo Ina.
The best star in the magic world this year and a cadet with the greatest magical talent ever.
I don’t want to admit it, but Seo Eana is many times stronger than herself now.
Not only did he possess growth-type unique skills such as 《Alfheim’s Sword》, but he also overwhelmed him in terms of mana management and aptitude.
So, Lee Soo-hyeok also recognized her as the best in his heart and thought of himself as a second person.
However, his previous record was only a tie for 3rd place.
‘It’s annoying that I got the same grades as Kim Yoo-jung, but I can’t believe there’s a little boy in first place…’ I
couldn’t help but get nervous.
As I was organizing my thoughts, I suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind.
“What are you thinking?”
Lee Soo-hyuk turned his head and looked behind him.
Soon a familiar face came into view.
Kim Min Soo.
As an old friend of Lee Soo-hyeok, he was a person who took good care of him who had a tyrannical temper.
Kim Min-soo looked at the place where Lee Soo-hyuk’s eyes stayed for a while, then put his hand in his pocket and said.
“I wondered who was looking at me like that. It was Min Jae-hyun.”
“Min Jaehyun?”
Lee Soo-hyuk tilted his head and asked.
Kim Min-soo pressed on with a bewildered expression.
“hey. Haven’t you seen the recording of ‘Freshman Hunt’? Don’t you know Min Jaehyun? The crazy guy who won first place in this event and broke the Academy record!”
“what? Was that him?”
When Lee Soo-hyeok opened his eyes wide and asked, Kim Min-soo sighed deeply.
He put his shoulder on Lee Soo-hyuk and said.
“There is a TV in the cadet dormitory. watch some TV Analyzing the strength of other cadets is also essential at the academy.”
Lee Soo-hyuk was lost in thought without answering.
Of course, he also heard that the magic cadet had won first place in the ‘freshman hunt’.
However, Lee Soo-hyeok is fundamentally a hard-headed type who only believes in what he sees. That’s why I didn’t think to investigate him separately even after the news of the first place in the magic cadet.
But please I would have thought that the rumored number one was Min Jae-hyun in front of me.
Lee Soo-hyeok still looked at Jae-hyun with cold eyes of disbelief.
He frowned and sighed softly.
“I’ll have to check if my skills are real…”
“Oh, check again. Don’t fuss around, are you alone? No matter how much you are, you can’t do it to him. Does it make sense to touch the guy who took first place in the Milles Academy event?”
“You won’t know if you don’t try.”
In Lee Soo-hyeok’s eyes, the twisted sense of selfishness was young.
Kim Min-soo shook his head as if he was fed up.
‘If this happens anyway, he won’t listen no matter what I say.’
Lee Soo-hyuk is originally like that.
You must always be the best, and do not believe in the achievements of others.
‘Originally, he had a lot of inferiority feelings towards Seo In-na, but suddenly Min Jae-hyun intervened in front of him…….’
Lee Soo-hyeok was probably thinking of fighting Jae-hyun over something pointless.
Kim Min-soo has been watching him act like this.
Fortunately, Lee Soo-hyeok won most of the time.
but.
‘I don’t think I can do anything this time…’
Kim Min-soo watched a partially edited battle video of Min Jae-hyeon during the live broadcast of ‘Freshman Hunt’ yesterday.
In the freshman hunt, it was not enough to get Shin Jun-sang, a martial arts student, out at once, so he swept points at once by hunting using paralysis spore mushrooms.
He thought that no matter how much Lee Soo-hyeok was a genius, he would not be able to compete with Jae-hyun.
‘Ehh…… How did I become friends with a guy like that…’
Kim Min-soo sighed deeply and glanced at Lee Soo-hyuk.
“A bastard with second grade disease……”
“……What? What did you just say?”
“no. I didn’t say anything.”
Kim Min-soo took off his pretense.
Lee Soo-hyuk also narrowed his eyes, but did not respond.
After a while.
I heard Instructor Kim Ji-yeon’s voice as she was looking at her watch.
“Okay, this is the end of the first lesson. Thank you for your hard work today. Next week is the theory class, so please bring your textbooks. Disband then!”
“hey! Min Jaehyun isn’t standing there!?”
As soon as Kim Ji-yeon finished speaking, Min Jae-hyeon and Kim Yoo-jung started running towards the playground.
It is rare to see at Milles Academy, which is famous for its strict discipline.
The cadets laughed at the two of them.
* * *
After successfully completing the first class, Jaehyun headed to the security room on the second floor of the Yeonhwa Guild building at the call of CEO Seongeun Yoo.
There, Seongeun Yoo, Seongjae Park, and a woman with a strange face were drinking coffee.
‘uh? It’s a familiar face…?’
It was Jaehyun’s impression of seeing the woman he had met for the first time.
It’s obviously unfamiliar, and despite seeing it for the first time, it looks familiar somewhere.
As if someone is coming to mind…?
Yoo Sung-eun, who was drinking coffee, looked at Jae-hyun’s face and asked with a bright face.
“uh. Jaehyun, are you here?”
“yes. How are you? But I’m seeing him for the first time… Who is he by any chance?”
At Jaehyun’s question, Yoo Seongeun put her hand on the woman’s shoulder and smiled.
“Ah~ This is the chief scout of our Yeonhwa Guild. My name is Hana Park.”
“My name is Park Hana. Are you Jaehyun Min? I have heard many stories.”
“Ah yes.”
Hana Park immediately handed her business card to Jaehyun and spoke politely.
‘You’re very hard.’
There was something uncomfortable about it, but I shook hands lightly and sat down.
Jaehyun began to examine the mood of Hana Park, who was sitting across from him.
Round glasses and neatly trimmed short hair.
A black skirt and white blouse cut 5cm above the knee, as if measured with a ruler.
I don’t know very well, but it gave me the impression that I would be very tired when working together.
At that time, Seongjae Park laughed heartily at Jaehyun’s face.
“Your first impression is that you look very strict and tired, so working together would be annoying, right?”
“Huh huh?!”
For a moment, I was startled as if my inner feelings had come out without my knowledge.
Jaehyun waved his hands with a puzzled face and looked at Yoo Seongeun. With a face that said, “Please explain why that human suddenly did that.”
Then Yoo Seong-eun smiled and lightly pinched Park Ha-na’s face.
“Actually, Seongjae Park and Hana Park are brother and sister.”
“Ah, sir! Don’t play around! I am working now.”
“……Oh, I see.”
Jaehyun felt like he was being swung around, so he felt a little annoyed and exhausted.
‘Now I understand a little bit. After all, manager Park Seong-jae is definitely not the kind of person who would treat others rudely.’
Of course, when I met Jaehyun for the first time, I was excited without knowing it, but that was because it was related to CEO Yuseong.
In other situations, let alone anger, a person who is not very emotionally agitated. That was Park Seong-jae.
……Of course, I had a history of abandoning Jaehyun because I was tired of shopping at the Radar Department Store.
After taking a breather, Jaehyun opened his mouth while looking at Yoo Seongeun and Park Seongjae and Park Hana alternately.
“You called because you wanted to hear about the results of the freshman hunt, right?”
“of course! I still wanted to see it in person. The video says that there is a problem with Milles Academy and that it will be released in a week or so. I thought you were going crazy.”
‘It’s only natural that the release of the video will be delayed.’
Goo Ja-in made Jae-hyun and Ahn Ho-yeon fight during the freshman hunt.
In the process, he used his unique skill, 《Brainwashing》.
If you transmitted all the videos of the freshman hunt without editing, there was a risk that others would find out that you intervened in the event.
So I covered it up by saying that there was a problem like this.
Jaehyun scratched his head and apologized obediently.
I tried to contact Yoo Seong-eun, but I couldn’t because I was so distracted.
“……sorry.”
“no. It’s more fun to hear it yourself.”
Yoo Seong-eun said so without any displeasure.
Jaehyun took a deep breath and smiled at her.
“As you might have already guessed, the result is… No. 1.”
“Oh oh! You are amazing too!”
Seongjae Park intervened with a happy face.
It was a voice mixed with admiration.
Yooseong also nodded in response.
“congratulations. You got off to the best start at Milles Academy, which is famous for being difficult to survive. I am proud of you as a teacher.”
“thank god. Actually, I was very worried that if I placed second, I would break it.”
Seeing Jaehyun’s cheeky face, Park Ha-na’s guard on the other side was also slightly relaxed.
At first, I couldn’t understand how the cadet, who didn’t look very strong, signed Yeon-hwa’s priority contract.
However, Jaehyun’s relaxed appearance and speech are enough to gain trust.
Hana Park smiled lightly and handed Jaehyun a black tablet PC.
Receiving the tablet, Jaehyun narrowed his eyes and asked.
“What is this? ……It looks like a cadet profile file from Milles Academy.”
“There is something I want to ask of you, Min Jaehyun.”
“Please?”
Jaehyun tilted his head.
Park Hana nodded.
“I would like to know if there are any talents among them that can be recruited by Yeonhwa.”
The list contained the names of the top 50 people with the highest aptitude, excluding Jaehyun.
A smile spread across Jaehyun’s lips.
‘Yeah… You mean you’re going to use me as a scout this time?’
“What can I say? It’s not difficult.”
It’s about telling you, of course, it’s not difficult.
But there’s never any reason to do that for nothing.
No matter how much he took magic lessons from Yoo Sung-eun and became a priest, there was no need for Jae-hyun to double as a scout for the Yeonhwa Guild.
“Then, what will the Yeonhwa Guild give me?”
At those words, a smile slowly began to spread on Yoo Seong-eun’s lips.
“It’s also a little wordy. You are definitely my disciple.”
“you’re welcome.”
Jaehyun shrugged.
If you can get something, you must get it and go to the next one.
That’s one of the iron rules to survive as a radar.
Jaehyun was thinking of thoroughly using that norm.
