Chapter 471 – Assignment Inspection (3)

As soon as she woke up, Choi Hwa-young hurriedly prepared and arrived at the union.

She somehow apologized for being late to meet her junior Seong-cheol, and as she walked beside her junior Seong-cheol like that, she regretted in her heart several times the mistakes she had made.

‘How did you turn off the alarm and sleep until a day like today… You stupid bitch…’

A meeting with the precious and precious junior Seong-cheol who returned after two months, no, almost three months.

Recalling that she might have missed that opportunity because she overslept, Choi Hwa-yeong still felt her heart sink and sink.

If junior Seong-cheol had left without even calling her, when would she have woken up from her slumber?

And how awkward her relationship with him must have been when she left everything else.

Thinking of the situation that made her heart flutter just by imagining her, Choi Hwa-yeong’s heart was still beating.

She had no choice but to have stronger feelings of affection than before for her junior Seong-cheol, who did not say anything unpleasant even in her own perception, but rather comforted her.

‘I heard that normal boys show a bad temper when a woman is 10 minutes late for an appointment…’

But a man who cares about a woman who is late, let alone a bad mood.

Choi Hwa-young couldn’t believe that a man like this still existed in this day and age, and she couldn’t even believe that she had already had several physical conversations with such a man in the past.

‘It’s definitely worth bewitching a lot of women… Although junior Seongcheol in bed is just a pervert full of lust.’

But because of that, she had a chance to squeeze in, so she didn’t think it was bad.

Rather, in my heart, I hoped that he would continue to behave like a pervert so that the number of women around him would decrease.

Because he thought that if he could reduce the women around him with humiliating positions like field sex or anal sex, he would be in the business of remaining.

… Although he never imagined that he was in a relationship with a woman with a much harder character in a place he did not know.

‘I have to somehow make up for being late today. If I don’t want my junior Seongcheol to think of me as a spoiled senior, somehow…’

In the last class, he gave two tasks to Seongcheol junior.

He can be a few levels of circles, so he should make improved versions of the flame whip and explosion fist.

By the way, Hwayoung Choi also prepared two versions of magic for tutoring.

Perhaps, if he used this well, he would be able to make up for some of the mistakes he made about his lateness today.

‘Looking at his talent, it’s an improved version of the flame whip. It should have been easy… Explosive fists couldn’t have been completed that easily.’

That magic was a magic with many problems from the beginning.

The idea itself to use flame magic as a melee technique was good, but it was just a creative idea.

You must have realized with your body over the past two months that it is infinitely less efficient to use in real combat.

As a teacher of flame magic, it was his role to open the way for his junior apprentice who was struggling with being blocked by a wall.

‘If you show me what I made with a slightly believable illustrative magic, your respect for me will bloom again. Maybe with that, I can somehow make up for the image I perceived today.’

If so, after finishing the business, you will naturally be able to create a strange atmosphere with Seongcheol’s juniors.

Perhaps, if done well, they would not only be able to make up for their mistakes today, but also share some time to unleash their long-awaited sexual desire.

However, Hwayoung Choi still did not know.

Of course, Seongcheol junior has already perfectly improved the improvement of explosive fist, which was expected to be impossible.

In the first place, regardless of what you show him today, you are destined to be eaten by a junior Seongcheol.

「Class C Dungeon, Ruins of Flame」

After a casual greeting in the union lobby, Hwayoung and I entered the Ruins of Flame, a C-class dungeon we had visited before.

Here, I caught almost 50 monsters like flame lizards and fire spirits using only Frost Burst, a circle 3 fire magic.

If it was a task similar to the one my senior gave me today, I was confident that I would finish it much faster this time.

Small and nimble monsters like flame lizards and fire bats can be easily caught using the flame whip.

Against the flame spirits, it would be possible to use the ambitiously improved flame sword and cut them down in one blow.

… In fact, considering the assignments given by my seniors, I wouldn’t stop at just that level.

I also prepared magic, imagining a higher level.

“Ah, just in case, I’m telling you. Today we will go a little deeper.”

“Yes?”

“Because I’m going to tell you to deal with the A-class guys inside the dungeon, not the C-class monsters at the entrance.”

“… An A-class monster?”

“If you have properly improved your Flame Whip or Explosive Fist, you should be able to catch B- or A-rank monsters. If Seongcheol junior had a brain, he would not have improved while maintaining the existing 3rd circle. Yes?”

“Yes, it is.”

From the moment I heard Hwayoung-senpai’s words, ‘It doesn’t matter if you’re in the 4th or 5th circle, improve it somehow’, which was emphasized when giving the assignment, I was able to understand roughly what the senior wanted.

In fact, it was natural to take it as the meaning of making a proper 4th or 5th circle fire magic.

It would be quite difficult to make a 4th or 5th circle magic from scratch, so he must have adjusted the difficulty to some extent, such as trying to improve the existing magic.

If you look at the number of concepts used, the flame sword was magic for the 4th circle, and the flame whip was the magic for the 5th circle.

The flame whip was a little stronger purely in terms of the power of the magic itself, but in the case of the flame sword, the tendency of the auxiliary magic attached to the sword skill was strong.

Of course, the one that can do more damage when actually used is the flame sword.

… The problem is that I’m a bit skeptical whether senior Hwayoung will consider this flame sword as a proper 4-circle flame magic.

It definitely has its identity as flame magic.

It was a linking technique that uses ice magic together, but it was as powerful as expected.

Above all, it must have been a magic that no one else could ever use, so I was proud of being the first developer in my own way, and there was a case of using it in the crystal spider cave before.

There was also a sense of anticipation that maybe, if it was according to senior Hwa-young’s standards, he would be able to pass the exam.

In the first place, she was the teacher who cheered me on, saying that even the flame whip and explosive fist in an unstable state were quite useful.

Balanced carrots and sticks… I’m not sure if she uses it, but she’s a master who uses both anyway.

With that thought in mind, she and Hwa-young moved into the ruins little by little.

As we went inside, a gloomy space that seemed a little less touched by humans began to emerge.

“This is it.”

“Yes?”

“This is Magmarello’s habitat. Usually C-class hunters don’t come this far, so they’re relatively untouched.”

If it’s Magmarello, it’s probably the highest level A-class monster in this dungeon.

As you can tell just by looking at the woodrell coming out of the tomb of the old tree, just because the Ruins of Flame is a C-class dungeon doesn’t necessarily mean that only C-class or lower monsters inhabit it.

If the number of C-class monsters exceeds a certain percentage compared to other monsters, you will be judged as a C-class dungeon.

For example, suppose there is a dungeon named “Hobgoblina’s Nest” Where 100 Hobgoblina, a C-class monster, and 1 Ogre Lord, an A-rank monster, live.

The moment you designate this dungeon as an A-rank dungeon based on the highest-rank monsters, various problems arise.

First of all, it is almost impossible for C-rank hunters to enter the A-ranked dungeon itself, so they miss the opportunity to obtain materials by catching Hobgoblina, which they can catch enough.

And from the point of view of an A-rank hunter, you have to catch about 100 goblins, a C-rank monster, to have a chance to fight an Ogre Lord, an A-rank monster.

In that case, collecting materials from dungeons where only other B- or A-rank monsters appear would be much more helpful for improving skills and making money.

Then, in the end, the dungeon becomes a dungeon that is ignored by both C-class and A-class hunters.

From the point of view of a guild that sells and operates materials collected from dungeons, failure to monetize dungeons inevitably leads to poor management in many ways.

In order to prevent this from happening, in the case of “Hobgoblin’s Nest”, It is usually set as a C-class dungeon and operated in such a way that a cautionary guide is provided.

Something like “A-class monster Ogre Lords appear in this dungeon, so please act with caution.”

In fact, there is a similar warning at the ruins of flame that Hwayoung and I entered.

In the first place, it would be impossible for quite a few C-class hunters to enter this far due to the number of monsters.

I was able to reach the depths of her dungeon without a single battle because I was moving with her in the mobile flame barrier created by Hwayoung.

You have arrived at the habitat of Magmarello, the strongest monster in this dungeon.

… There was nothing that could be called her monster in the place she had reached, and only her rugged ruin walls and empty altar greeted her.

“… Senior.”

“Huh?”

“I can’t see any other monsters here, let alone Magmarello. Is she not lost by any chance?”

“… In some ways, you look like a talented genius monster hunter, but at times like this, you look like an amateur hunter with very little practical experience.”

“Yes?”

I couldn’t understand what she was saying at once, so as soon as I asked her back, she said that the flame barrier surrounding me and Hwayoung disappeared.

Immediately, two fireballs created by her hands flew towards the uneven walls surrounding the altar and collided.

-Rumble…

“… Uh?”

The shaking was quite violent for two fireballs barely touching the wall.

Feeling something strange, I looked at the expression of senior Hwayoung standing to my right.

She was just staring at the walls on either side of the altar, as if she was waiting for something.

– Gurrung.

‘Gemm…’

-Koo goong, koo wooung.

‘Gaaaaa…’

And, the rugged walls start to move little by little from the place where Hwayoung sunbaenim’s two fireballs flew.

The wall, which had gradually changed from a mixture of ocher and brown to a bright red lava color, slowly began to move and find its shape.

Only then did I realize that the uneven walls of this altar were not just walls.

“Twenty magmarellos. The ones that can be used are the improved flame whip and explosive fist.”

“…”

“You’ll have to wake them up one by one so you can deal with them two at a time, but I don’t think you’ll get out of here until you get them all in your hands.”

At the same time, senior Hwa-young blocks the only entrance through which he and I entered with a blazing fire fortress.

Even in today’s class, which returned after almost two months, her passion for education was still burning.
