Chapter 2457 – 2457. Seven Tiers

The training ground was quiet as the battle ended faster than expected.

Usually, a sparring match between hunters of similar skill takes about 3 to 5 minutes. If the sparring ends within 30 seconds, there is a clear difference in skill or one party is caught off guard.

This time it was clearly the former.

There was someone in the audience laughing quietly. It was Seoksu Kang, the guild representative of Seven Tier.

‘Park Seo-woon was also caught off guard. Unlike her popularity, detailed information about Seong Yu-jin is not known. If you search on the Internet, you will find a few videos, but they are from several years ago. The skills back then and now are completely different.’

Seong Yu-jin went to most B-level or lower gates alone. Are you afraid of the A-level gate? It wasn’t. That couldn’t have been the case with that guy’s personality.

‘I guess I did it because it was annoying. Since she went about her performance and income on her own, a B-level gate would have been enough for her.’

What’s odd about her is that she can’t sharply improve her skills with just a B-level or lower gate. Your skills only increase when you go through difficult battles and gain experience.

‘Even after seeing the battle just now, it doesn’t seem like you lack experience. Have I gained experience in a place I don’t know?’

Kang Seok-su assumed that he was Sung Yu-jin’s opponent.

Closing the distance is suicidal. I don’t have the confidence to win in close combat with Seong Yu-jin.

‘I am a wizard. Keeping distance is not an option, it is a necessity. However, even if the distance increases, Seong Yu-jin does not become helpless. The lightning of Seong Yu-jin that I just saw is at the level of attack magic I use.’

If it had been ordinary lightning, the A-class hunter would not have fainted at once. You can’t neutralize a class A hunter in one go with ordinary lightning. Because the body of an A-class hunter is completely different from that of an ordinary person.

‘At close range, a knife. The acceleration is so fast that even I missed it for a moment. Lightning seems to be usable at all distances. Moreover, due to the nature of lightning, it does not block even if blocked.’

Even if you block it with a sword or shield, it flows in. To block lightning, either actively use mana or strengthen your body so that lightning does not pass through. Either way, it becomes tiring to deal with.

‘Assuming they are enemies is a headache.’

I slowly turned my head. The two A-class hunters scheduled for the next sparring did not look good. Their plan went awry due to Seong Yu-jin’s skills being much better than expected.

‘But we can’t get rid of it now. You will sound like a coward. Furthermore, there would be a face issue with the guild that sent them.’

Broadcasters? I felt a little disappointed. The longer the battle, the better for them.

They just ignore it, so the ordinary people they brought in are stiff. Hunters’ sparring. Watching it on video and seeing it in person are two different levels. Even if a hunter is slightly offended, he dies. I am forced to remember the facts that I had been ignoring because I was blinded by flashy things.

And the guild members of the Seventh Tier.

They are watching the sparring with their eyes sparkling. The more Seong Yu-jin plays, the more proud the Seventh Tier is.

S-class candidate. In other words, I want to become an S-class hunter someday. There is an S-class hunter in the future Seven Tier. Just because of that, investors will flock in, and hunters will envy the Seven Tier Guild.

‘Show your overwhelming power in the remaining sparring, Seong Yu-jin.’

It was then.

A man came up behind him.

He was a man wearing a white suit to the point where I felt obsessive-compulsive. His tie, wristwatch, and even his shoes were all white. He had a cold appearance, perhaps because of his sharp appearance.

Jeong Ji-hak. One of the Seven Tier guild masters.

“I guess I’m a little late.”

“It was late. The battle has just ended. It was a fun attraction.”

“I think I can tell the result just by looking at the reactions of those around me.”

Jeong Ji-hak looked at Park Seo-un, who had collapsed on the floor of the training ground.

“Do you need my help?”

“Leave it. Seong Yu-jin adjusted his strength. “She just fainted, but there was no serious physical damage.”

The next sparring match was with Geo Kim from the Bluebird Guild. Kim Geo stood in front of a nervous face.

The sparring started and ended in 3 seconds.

Seong Yu-jin could not even react to the attack using acceleration.

Seong Yu-jin’s instantaneous acceleration was difficult for even A-class hunters to react to. If you simply rely on your physical abilities and try to react, you will end up like that.

“Hmm. “That’s amazing.”

Jeong Ji-hak said with admiration. Seoksu Kang asked him just in case.

“Did you see Seong Yu-jin’s movements?”

“I couldn’t see it. So it’s great.”

“If you were Seong Yu-jin’s opponent, how would you have responded?”

“I’m not suited for combat, but… If I had to deal with it, I would have allowed the first attack and tried to counterattack. I don’t know if it will work.”

Seoksu Kang nodded his head. It was a tactic that only Jeong Ji-hak, who had the ability to recover, could pull off.

Soon the third sparring began.

“It will end quickly this time too.”

“Well. “It won’t be that much.”

Kang Dong-woo of Ewha Guild.

A class A hunter whose name I have never heard of.

‘But it’s Ewha Guild. People ignore Ewha Guild because it is ranked 10th among the top 10 guilds, but… In my view, Ewha Guild is hiding its claws. If I carelessly expose my claws, I will only become a target for other teenage guilds, so I am hiding them.’

• • •

The sparring has begun.

I swung my sword, narrowing the distance in an instant without leaving any room. The lightning at the tip of the sword splits the air.

[Use moment. Stacks remaining: 7]

However, the sword split the air. Suddenly the guy disappeared. The place where he appeared was at the end of the training ground, 10 meters away.

“… Teleport? Is it an artifact?”

Teleporters are subject to special management. It couldn’t have been here.

“You’re quick-witted. Yes. It’s an artifact. Surely using an artifact wouldn’t be considered a foul play?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

A thunderstorm, a thunderstorm.

He fires the ten thousand thunders gathered in his palm at Kang Dong-woo. Kang Dong-woo draws his hand in the air. An invisible barrier arose and blocked the lightning.

I narrowed my eyes.

‘Invisible wall. It didn’t feel like I was dealing with the wind. Is it telekinesis? It’s a pretty annoying ability.’

The biggest advantage of the telekinesis series is that it is invisible.

‘Even if you can’t see it, you can feel it.’

Telekinesis has its limits when used alone, so it is used in combination with mana. That’s how the power increases.

‘You just need to sense mana.’

Feeling.

I recently raised my mana ability. My current abilities are S-class average. When I concentrated a little, I felt many things. The energy of being thankful for Kang Dong-woo.

‘Well, you can use the Heavenly Eye to see the mana directly.’

I had no intention of showing all my abilities.

‘I can feel it.’

Kang Dong-woo’s mana fluctuates. Mana became intangible and flew to me. In the form of a surface, not a point or a line.

I stepped back and stepped back. Telekinesis split the air where I was.

“… Did you feel my telekinesis? That’s amazing mana detection.”

“I have a good sense of it.”

“Haha. Then how about this?”

Kang Dong-woo spread his arms wide. At the same time, telekinesis unfolds in all directions.

‘Are you planning to cover the entire training area and then slowly narrow it down?’

Space is limited, so it cannot be avoided.

‘He’s much better in skill than the two guys in front of him.’

But what he could do, I could too.

‘Thunderstorm.’

Puzzle!

Blue thunderbolts spread through my feet in all directions. The floor, walls, and ceiling of the training ground flashed with lightning.

Boom!

The fluorescent light on the ceiling explodes and pieces fall to the floor.

Kang Dong-woo swallowed his saliva. He stopped his unfolding power and created a telekinetic barrier around himself. That way you won’t get electrocuted.

“… The range of power is no joke. Honestly, isn’t this a foul? It’s like this because it’s me… “For other people, I wouldn’t have been able to attack or defend.”

“Are you going to keep doing that?”

“You can’t do that. I feel like I’m being pushed out in terms of mana… I think this will be the final blow. This is a technique I recently developed for both offense and defense. “Let me show you.”

I thought it was a long conversation earlier, but now I see that I was conscious of the camera, not me.

‘I think I’m going to lose, so I’m trying to improve my image at least a little bit.’

It might be wise. The two guys in front of me couldn’t even last more than 10 seconds. The public’s attention will be focused on Kang Dong-woo, who has lasted relatively long.

The telekinetic barrier protecting Kang Dong-woo’s body began to rotate.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

The telekinetic power rotates and gnaws and shatters the floor and ceiling of the training hall with terrifying force.

A thunderstorm, a thunderstorm.

I took the time to make it stronger than before, and the lightning I shot bounced off to the side. Most attacks don’t work.

The guy walks towards me with a stern expression. It seems impossible for him to run, as he is sweating coldly.

‘It seems like a lot of mental power and mana are consumed. ‘I think I’ll win if I just keep my distance like this, right?’

But isn’t that so ugly?

This video will be talked about for a long time, right?

I saw Kang Dong-woo approaching and grabbed his knife. The thunderbolts remain everywhere gather around the sword.

Kang Dong-woo looked surprised. He, too, seemed to sense something strange, but he couldn’t stop after coming this far. He took his step forward

Noecheonryu (雷天流) Noegangin (雷罡刃).

Steel and lightning mix together to form a blade shining with lightning.

As soon as I saw the blade of lightning, I swung the sword at him, who had a serious look on his face.

His barrier splits and disappears as easily as tofu. The tip of the sword stopped in front of Kang Dong-woo’s head.

“… “I lost.”

The sparring is over.

After that, the interview continued.

The A-level hunters I fought with desperately tried to control their facial expressions while conducting the interview, and I recited the script that Seoksu Kang gave me.

After filming was over, Kang Seok-soo approached me. He has a satisfied smile on his face

“It was perfect. He was good at interviews too.”

“What’s so difficult about reading a script? “Who is the person behind?”

A man dressed in pure white stepped in front of me.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Jeong Ji-hak. “I am a seven-tier master like you.”

“It has the ability to recover. Its ability as rear support is the best. Even a severed arm can be restored.”

“Yes. That’s right. If there is anything uncomfortable, please let me know. We will treat you. Of course, the cost is yours.”

“Cost? “Can I at least give you money?”

He smiled and shook his head.

“That’s not it.”

“Jeong Ji-hak’s recovery ability is amazing, but… There is a condition that it will be accompanied by tremendous pain.”

“Yes. It is as the representative said. This ability does not even work with anesthetics. Maybe that’s why people were reluctant about my abilities. “It’s better than dying, so there are always people who come to me.”

I had a full recovery. There will be no need to lend a hand to Jeong Ji-hak.

“Anyway, this guy doesn’t come until the end.”

Kang Seok-su frowns.

“Who else decided to come?”

“One of the masters was supposed to come. He’s a belligerent guy. But if he doesn’t come, he’s either forgotten something…, I may not have been able to come because I was caught up in an incident.”

“Do you think you often get caught up in incidents?”

“I told you. “He’s belligerent.”

It was time for Kang Seok-su to sigh. The smartphone vibrated in his pocket. Seoksu Kang took out his smartphone and checked the sender. His face hardened.

“… This is the association’s emergency contact network. It looks like a problem has arisen.”

Kang Seok-su answered the phone. His face became serious.

“Bluebird’s raid team failed to conquer the S-class dungeon. In the aftermath, the Dungeon Breaker phenomenon occurred. Seong Yu-jin, Jeong Ji-hak. We need your strength. Get ready right away.”
