112. Interim Evaluation (3)

Wow─

For a moment, I felt like my body was floating in the air and I felt dizzy.

In an instant, the scenery before my eyes changed.

Chak─

I lowered my body and landed on the floor.

“… ….”

Slack-slap─ Slap-slap─

The sound of waves reaching my ears in the silence.

It was still deep in the early morning, so the surroundings were dark.

I slowly stood up and looked around.

I thought the location where I fell was near the coast.

There was a sea behind and a forest in front.

Especially in the forest, the large trees were densely located, leaving the mouth wide open like a pitch-black cave where not a single ray of light entered.

“…… Tsk, I dropped you off at the outskirts.”

I clicked my tongue.

The location selection allows you to feel the narrow-minded Jammin’s malice as he smokes in the toy store.

‘Everyone will probably start moving when the sun rises.’

In fact, I was dropped on a deserted island with my bare body without any preparation.

Even if a hunter had a stronger body than an ordinary person, wandering around the forest at night was not a good option.

Now that the nocturnal monsters are in full swing, it’s natural to be more careful.

But, I grinned and raised the corners of my mouth.

‘This trait is helpful in times like these.’

Opening eyes.

It was a name that seemed like it had something to do with it, but in reality, it was just a characteristic that allowed you to see things even in the dark.

But thanks to that, I was able to clearly see my surroundings even though my vision was dark.

And this difference will create a gap with other cadets and give them an even more advantageous position as time goes by.

It was a great advantage to be able to be active at night as well as during the day in a place like this.

Udddu─

I stretched upward.

“First, I need to find out about the base camp.”

I adjusted the sturdy backpack on my back and, without delay, walked toward the dark forest.

* * *

“…… Ugh, I’m embarrassed.”

Shin Se-hee, who fell to the deserted island after Jin Yu-ha, muttered with a red face.

I didn’t realize it because it was such a sudden situation, but I ended up showing a completely shabby appearance in front of him.

She hugged the black puppy doll that came with it.

“…… “It’s disgraceful.”

Shin Se-hee muttered in a rough tone.

No matter how much you think about it, it is shameful.

While all the other cadets were dazed, he alone maintained his composure,

Jin Yu-ha carried a large backpack on her back and acted awkwardly, wondering if anyone would be fooled.

When she thought of him, Shin Se-hee’s lips popped out.

‘Jin Yu-ha knew all of these situations in advance and was able to prepare for them! Because I can see the future!’

This is why I wondered if the returnee was hiding his identity in a novel or something.

I suddenly feel that even the person closest to him and who trusts him is being dishonest, so what about other people?

Of course, regardless of my feelings, I understood why they did not tell me in advance.

Because this was something no one should know about.

Even she, who knew in advance how the mid-term evaluation was conducted last year, never dreamed that it would suddenly start like this.

If he had told him about it in advance and prepared for it with others, he could have been discovered to be able to see the future.

So, it is natural to be cautious.

However, to be honest, he couldn’t help but secretly feel that it wouldn’t have been okay if he had told him at least a little bit.

Tch.

‘Even if I had known in advance, I could have just pretended not to know.’

Really?

Then her inner thoughts quickly shook their heads.

No matter what, it is a test with Jin Yu-ha.

He probably wanted to show this raw side.

If only I had known this in advance,

…… She wouldn’t have come here hugging this jet-black puppy body pillow that subtly resembles Jin Yu-ha, or come with all her makeup removed.

I must have even put on makeup as if I had put on makeup or not.

A perceptive person might find that subtle awkwardness suspicious.

“…… “I guess she just shouldn’t have pretended to know in the first place.”

hahahaha─

She let out her sigh softly.

It’s no use regretting something you’ve already done.

What is important now is how you conduct yourself in the future.

Shin Se-hee erased her thoughts about Jin Yu-ha and remembered things about this exam.

“First of all… …. “The important thing is the coin.”

The number of coins he currently possesses was recorded on the chest of the changed outfit.

[ 500 Coin ]

She was paid 500 coins as the base coin for the special position.

‘At least I’m fortunate.’

She uses magic to summon fire.

This is quite a positive point, considering that there are people in special positions who do not have much offensive ability.

In addition, whenever Jin Yu-ha had time, she gathered party members and trained them like rats, so she was confident in her physical strength.

Even so, her weaknesses are that it takes time to cast her skills and that her defense is not high.

Partying with a tank or dealer was a necessity, not a necessity.

“Hmm, if possible, it would be nice to do it with Jin Yuha…….”

There is nothing better than going with someone who knows the future.

It was difficult to think of anyone else other than Shin Se-hee, who was already enjoying the ride he was driving.

“First of all, let Jin Yuha be the top priority party member… …. Next, the store.”

It is no exaggeration to say that the existence of stores where you can get the necessities of life on an uninhabited island is the most important factor in this interim evaluation.

However, it was not a good idea to blindly use coins to purchase items.

“In the end, your score is determined by the number of coins you had until the end.”

In other words, you must use the coin as efficiently as possible.

Calculating such things is an area I am confident in.

“Then the first thing to do is to find a store and check the types and prices of the products. Hmm, but is it also possible to exchange coins from person to person?”

Then I might be able to do something more interesting.

For example, monopolizing one essential item and selling it at a high price.

Shin Se-hee’s eyes sparkled as she planned to make a fuss for the first time in a while.

But in the end, all of this could only be done by finding a store.

Cuckoo─

The sound of a cuckoo was heard from somewhere.

“…… “Right now, I can’t move.”

She was currently left alone in the dark forest.

It was a dangerous situation where we could be attacked by nocturnal monsters.

Shin Se-hee calmly laid her pillow on the floor and flopped down in her seat.

“The location you are first summoned to will be a safe zone. Otherwise, cadets who lack combat skills will be defeated as soon as the mid-term evaluation begins.”

So she sat down on the pillow and waited for morning to come.

* * *

Rustling─

‘…… He has to be one of the three party members, and it would be perfect to fill the remaining spot with one of our kids.’

I thought to myself as I walked through the dark grass.

Our party members definitely had a high chance of getting high scores in this mid-term evaluation.

First of all, in the case of Gukbap, his adaptability to this type of survival is quite good.

She is accustomed to living with gums without teeth, and is also accustomed to making things using natural objects around her, and is quite skilled at things like camping.

Shin Se-hee. Her original skill is a ranged attack using fire, so she is optimized for hunting in a forest like this.

And Poppy, honestly, this mid-term evaluation is so advantageous that I think it was a test prepared for Kang Do-hee.

Other dealers also have to find coins to purchase weapons at stores.

She uses her fists and feet, so she doesn’t need any weapons in the first place.

In other words, you do not receive the penalty that everyone else receives.

‘The story of the opening story…’ ….’

Honestly, even if Gukbap and Shin Se-hee are okay, isn’t Kang Do-hee a bit too much?

‘Tsk, I just have to do well. Only me.’

Ssyuk─

I turned on the detection, silenced the sound of my footsteps, and continued walking.

‘…… ‘You can learn skills through training.’

To be honest, I was skeptical.

Secret walk.

The teaching method I learned from instructor Baek Seol-hee.

At that time, I only succeeded in taking one step.

Currently, I was walking with a very natural, dark step.

If you think about it, it’s natural.

When performing this technique, I always carried a large piece of metal on my back, but now I am only carrying a backpack that is less than half the weight.

My body became much lighter than when I was training, so it would be strange if I couldn’t use the dark walk like a river.

It was then.

─ Crrr… ….

I caught the sound of a monster from a little distance away.

I tried to suppress it for hunting, but it was a violent cry that I could not hide.

I calmed my eyes after killing the presence.

Then, in front of me, a monster with the appearance of a small, hairless monkey and purple skin caught my eye.

‘Gramlin… ….’

It was an agile and annoying monster.

But, at the moment.

I smiled with joy.

That’s right, because I noticed what he was holding in his hand.

That’s right, a small, worn-out dagger.
