Chapter 190 – 190. Sparring Festival

There were a total of three festivals for Hunters.
One is the hunting game that linked me and my lovers to SSLK. Another is the promotion system for A-class hunters to become guardians.

And lastly, the sparring festival where the academy and the 3 families cooperate to compete.

“If you win the Dalian Festival, the guild’s reputation will rise at once.”

I guess it has to be.
In fact, this Dalian Festival is the largest among the three major festivals and draws a lot of attention from the public.

Of course, the influence itself is the greatest in the promotion system where guardians are born, but it is held irregularly and it was more like an after-party after notification.

“…But the sparring festival is divided into grades anyway. In the end, you’ll hear that it’s a B-class.”

“So we should aim before the event.”

“Ah.”

His head, which had not yet woken up, began to turn slowly.

If you won a competition divided by class, the winner could compete with a higher class than herself by participating before the event.

What my aunt was aiming for was to win a game she had to lose.

“Class A, even if you are not the winner, if you win second place, the label of class B will naturally fall off. And you are the only one entering the competition. What needs attention in this Dalian Festival is the guild leader, not the guild members.”

Hey, when the lovers go out, all the public’s attention will be focused on them. With her goddess-like appearance and tremendous power, even if you try not to give her eyes, you will not be able to stop giving her.

“All right. I guess it wouldn’t be bad. Instead, interviews and things like…”

“Do not worry. I’ll take care of the troublesome things on my side.”

It’s also believable.
Raising my upper body, I added a belated morning greeting and a request while stealing my red lips. Her aunt gave her a confident nod, as if telling her to trust herself, then rose from her seat.

Lying back on the bed, I picked up my phone.
I was thinking of causing a stir, to make it sure.

*Kang Dae-woong
Class: S.L.U.S manager (X)
Unique Attribute: [S.L.U.S (lv7)][Steel body (lv14)]
[Heavy Heart/Heart (lv6)]
General Attribute: [Practical swordsmanship (lv8)]
SinB: [Official Manager (X)] [Swordsman (B)]

[Muscle:85][Agility:80][Endurance:90]
[Spirit: 70] [Mag: 83] [Stamina: 70]

Points: 911500

-Contractor Management[9/15]
-Sage’s Random Box
-Sage’s shop for everything

When you turn on S.L.U.S, the first thing you see is, of course, the points you have accumulated so far.

About 900,000.

It wasn’t that many points if you raised the stats of other contractors, but if you used it alone, it was enough to set all stats to 100.

After thinking about it for a while, I first raised the main stats. Strength, agility, durability, and magic power. As the four stats reached 100, the huge amount of points of 510,000 disappeared.

It took 50,000 points per stat to raise more than that. After struggling with it, I raised my magic power to 105 to give more strength to all the giants I learned this time.

150,000 points left.
I turned my attention to the lower priority stats.

The spirit, which never felt lacking, only raised the points to 80, which was not burdensome, and the energy level was raised to 90, which is higher than that.

If it was 3p, it was still possible to drive lovers to the extent that their backs would fall out, but if it was more than 5p like yesterday, the body would be burdened.

[Muscle:100][Agility:100][Endurance:100]
[Spirit: 80] [Magic: 105] [Stamina: 90]

After I finished organizing my stats, I stared at the Attribute column instead of turning off S.L.U.S. To be precise, his eyes were focused on the characteristic [Steel body] That he still had not reached the highest level.

Since I learned the cohesiveness of the Geosimryu and the number of lovers increased, I rarely got hit, so I finally reached level 14.

If I leave it like this, it will take a long time before I reach the highest level.
At this point, I hit the point with the intention of making the character bloom.

「Please select a flowering characteristic.」
*One. [Unbreakable (lv1)]
*2. [Grand Armor (lv1)]

After a long time, options appeared.
The first bloom trait was a trait that further reduced the damage received, and the second anti-magic armor was a trait with various elemental resistances while maintaining damage resistance.

I soon picked out the hemp armor.
In the first place, there were fewer cases of getting hit, and the damage resistance was still sufficient, so it was judged that it was better to raise the insufficient elemental resistance.

As I went down to the 1st floor in order to even bloom the characteristics and adapt to the newly changed abilities, I saw a familiar woman holding a mop and going out to the front door.

‘…I heard that the floor has been clean lately.’

In the end, I guess I decided to stick with it.
I snorted and went through the lobby to the indoor training ground.

“West?”

“What, are you okay?”

Inside, the hostess Seol Da-jin and Ryu Eun-hwa were warming up. Their faces became shiny, and they looked at my complexion with half concern and half doubt.

“Don’t worry. Because I’m fine.”

“…Something is suspicious. He must have been so tired that he was about to die… Hey, did you really raise your stats?”

“I can’t hide anything from my sister.”

“How much did you raise?”

“Why don’t you check it yourself?”

After briefly warming up, Dajin Seol smirks when he picks up a wooden sword for sparring and quickly puts on his gloves. As expected, when it came to fighting, it was her nature to not be able to use her four limbs.

“Seobang-nim, after sparring with Dajin, would you like to sparr with me?”

“I’m good.”

Ryu Eun-hwa nodded, saying yes, and stretched out her hand between me and Seol Da-jin, who faced each other. The moment the hand went up, Seol Da-jin and I kicked the ground at almost the same speed.

A few days after that.
I went to the academy with my aunt to take the preliminary round.

Even though it was a small city, it was filled with more than 100 buildings on a large site, and in the middle, Dalian Festival, an indoor stadium like the symbol of the academy, was majestically located.

As expected, the best and only hunter educational institution in Korea. Seeing the perfect infrastructure and full of state-of-the-art facilities made me exclaim.

“I spent a lot of money too.”

“It is a facility that is possible because it receives support from the government, the Hunter Association, the three major families as well as large corporations. Guardians who are graduates of this place also often donate.”

“Then, will the Holy Ghost also apply?”

“Of course. Some of the hunter equipment in the SS Hunter Market is also the result of research and experimentation here.”

It was not only teaching, but also research.
If so, it was understandable to some extent that it had such a scale. I don’t know, but hunter equipment is not something that comes out so easily.

“You’re all here.”

We arrived in front of the indoor arena where the preliminaries were held and looked at the crowds gathered near our entrance. There were B-class hunters like me, but most of them were ordinary people engaged in related occupations.

“Uh? Chief Seol!?”

And, of course, there was also the Hunter management team of Sungshin Group.

“Long time no see.”

“Long time no see! I didn’t expect to see you here again. But the person next to you…”

“I am the guild leader of the Laws Guild I belonged to.”

“Ah! Hello! My name is Jina Lee from the Sungshin Group Hunter management team! Nice to meet you!”

“I am Kang Dae-woong. Nice to meet you.”

When I lightly asked for a handshake, my aunt’s eyes turned warm for some reason. It was a bit unfair. It was just a pure greeting with no lies and no personal intentions.

“Kang Dae-woong…Then, did you pass the B-level exam this time?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Ah… You must have been the guild leader. By the way, when will team leader Seol return?”

What is it, the reaction and voice that seemed to have lost interest as soon as I knew it was B-class. Besides, the question that followed was like asking why an elite like my aunt was in our guild.

No, no matter how you think about it, you were right to ask in that sense. Stupid, I clicked my tongue.

“I’m sad, so I’ll have to get an A rank soon, won.”

“Yes?”

When I said that, sarcastically, my aunt opened her mouth. She was expressionless, but she was also angry.

“I have no intention of returning.”

“Yes? Why?”

“Should I even tell you that?”

“Oh, no. It’s not like that… I just…”

What is the complex
I let out a blank laugh and winked at my aunt, not wanting to waste any more time.

“Come in. I think talking about it will only make you feel worse.”

“…I get it. Oh, one more before we go. Gina, don’t overlook it. You are not a hunter, just an office worker.”

“…”

As I went into the arena, leaving behind Izzy, who was standing there blankly, her aunt approached me.

“Don’t worry too much about it.”

“Don’t worry, it won’t interfere with the match.”

If it was to the point of being a little pissed off and losing to the same B-class, I wouldn’t have come here in the first place. Rather, I felt sorry for the first person to take out my anger.

After completing the entry process, I separated from my aunt and sat in her waiting room waiting for the preliminaries to begin. When the moderator in the display grabbed the microphone, hunters belonging to the SS Knights entered the waiting room.

The fact that they came here means that they are also participating in the preliminary round. I feel sorry for Sungshin Group and Chairman Yang, but it was at a time when I was thinking that it would be good for them to take out their anger.

The staff who opened the door and came in called my name.
The first one was to prepare for Joy. As I warmed up lightly, the staff soon escorted me to the stadium.

The opponent in front of me is none other than that.

“You’re out of luck, honey.”

He was a Hunter belonging to the SS Knights.
