Chapter 31 – 31. To Class D

Follow the guide to the inside of the arena. Every step I took, I heard people shouting.

‘Crazy.’

My heart is pounding.
A word uttered by more than a thousand people becomes a thousand words and knocks on the ears, body, and heart.

Body trembling slightly.
I’m like this, what would Jeong Ha-ryun be like?

Sure enough, she was holding my arm tightly and trembling.

“Ha-ryeon-ah. Ha-Ryeon-ah!”

“Yes, four!”

“Wake.”

“Ha, but…”

“I’m going to get promoted to Class D and go see my mother. You said goodbye formally. So you have to be alert.”

“…Yeah.”

He hugs her head tightly and kisses her over the hood. Her tremors noticeably lessened, then completely disappeared.

Jeong Ha-ryeon’s exclusive sedative was effective.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah. Thanks to my brother.”

As I was comforting her, I could feel Jung So-hee’s gaze staring at her from the side. The look in her eyes was somehow affectionate, and I couldn’t bear not to ask.

“Are you jealous?”

“…”

Jung So-hee, who turned her head without saying anything to her, leaves her seat.

That’s messed up
So why does she go alone?

“Let’s go too.”

I took Jeong Ha-ryun’s hand and resumed her stopped steps.

Dozens of wooden puppets covered with steel plates and over a hundred examiners were sitting at tables in the arena, which was bordered like a checkerboard.

Among them, the test site we were assigned to is the upper left corner. The central area was still occupied by the academies.

‘That’s right.’

I ate and laughed and headed to the assigned area.
Perhaps because it was still in the early stages of the exam, the examiners’ faces were full of energy.

Two of the three were throwing sharp glances at me as if they were trying to peel me off, and the other one…

‘Looks like he’s looking forward to what tricks he’ll show.’

I made eye contact with the female examiner who was sitting in the middle and radiating androgynous charm with her chin resting on her chin.

I think I’ve seen it somewhere.

‘Could it be a high-ranking hunter.’

Looking at the hair dyed sky blue, it seems to fit. Top hunters who are eager to attract the public’s attention usually go around wearing colors that can’t be seen or done easily.

While our eyes met, I pretended to say hello briefly and looked over at Mid. First of all, a gold necklace with a small cross catches my eye.

Beyond that…

‘No.’

Does not exist.

Since it was a cliff with nowhere to look, my interest disappeared as if falling off a precipice.

The lost gaze turned to Jeong Ha-ryun.
The gaze catches her chin at the huge twin peaks hidden under her baggy clothes. It’s like being a fish caught on a hook.

“Brother?”

“Uh. Why.”

“…I feel like you’re staring at me too closely.”

“Ha-ryun is bad.”

“To? Why…?”

“It’s a joke. Just listen for a second.”

I whispered to Jeong Ha-ryun, who approached with a gun. She listened to her and looked up at her cloudless sky.

“Got it?”

“Four! Go, don’t suddenly blow…”

“Kuk-kuk. I will only trust Ha-ryun.”

Having tapped her on the shoulder with her trust, I headed for Jung So-hee this time. Doing her stretches to warm her up, she let her wary eyes roll as I approached.

“Do you have any business?”

“Well, yes. It’s about exams.”

“…If you say something strange, I will inform the examiner.”

“It sounds strange… Depending on the listener, it could be. I’ll give you about 10 seconds if you want to talk about it.”

“?”

Did you cut too much

She had a look on her face asking what she was talking about. I still pointed to the wooden doll and added an explanation.

“Time to deal with that wooden doll. I’ll give you 10 seconds. You have to pass too.”

At least she’s a normal person, so that’s why she’s so considerate. If it was another harem member or that sybalum, it wouldn’t have worked.

Jeong So-hee stared blankly at such a day and asked back.

“Is this a cooperative battle?”

“Know. So you’re saying You don’t get points if we kill it in an instant.”

“I know that you are excellent. However, I don’t think it will kill a D-class monster, or an Orc warrior in an instant…”

“If I were alone, it would be.”

But it’s different with the two.
I pointed at Jeong Ha-ryun timidly doing gymnastics from behind.

Jeong So-hee still couldn’t believe it.

Well, not a bunch.
It would be absurd in a situation where you don’t know anything. Rather, you would think that you are holding yourself in check with bluffing.

Even if it was me, it would have been the same.

“…Tell me honestly. What are you up to?”

“There is no such thing as goong-goong. Ha Ryun and I will use her full power in this test. That’s all.”

“So, will you give me 10 seconds?”

“Oh, right.”

“All right. You can do whatever you want.”

Can’t do it
If you don’t believe me even after I’ve said this, there’s nothing I can do about it.

-Place the hunters in their designated seats. Exams are starting soon.

An occasional beeping sound.
I said turning my back.

“I hope you get a good score in the person-to-person match.”

She said it with sincerity, but she ignored it, feeling that it was not worth answering, and just moved on.

With a wry smile, I stood at the designated location, on the other side of the wooden doll, and Jung Ha-ryun stood next to me. I glanced at her.

Are you ready?

As always, the moment Jeong Ha-ryun nodded her head, the wooden doll that had been sitting on her knees slowly began to stand up.

– Exam begins. 3.

She drew her sword and lowered her stance.

-2.

Now my strength is 55.
If the effect of the swordsmanship attribute is added, it is close to 60.

-One.

So that should be enough.

– Beep!!!

With a signal, it jumps out at full speed.
I arrived in front of the wooden doll in an instant and raised a large fist that extended late with a sword.

Caan!!

It immediately rotates its body and strikes the knee joint between the iron plates. A wooden doll that fell to one knee at that blow.

Throw away the sword and grab the guy’s arm with both arms.
It is also heavy. But it was not an unbearable weight.

“Aaaaa!!”

Grab his arm and throw him up with all your strength. It’s lower than I thought, but it was enough.

I quickly dodged to the side and screamed.

“Haryeon-ah!”

Five black magic bullets are fired at the wooden doll floating in the air.

And.

Kwa Gaga Gwang!!!!

Firecrackers explode.

The eyes of more than a thousand people are directed to the sky.

Even the parents who came to see their son.
Even fellow hunters who came to cheer on their clanmates.
Hunters and academies who took the test. And even the examiners who tried to score them.

I raise my gaze reflexively at the fireworks exploding in the sky.

…Cooung!!!

The finale of fireworks continues.
Following the wooden doll that fell on the floor, people’s eyes are directed to us.

The world was silent.
It was not a bad silence.

I calmly picked up my sword, but instead of running, I passed Jeong So-hee, who was stiff, and said,

“Sorry.”

She didn’t react. No, it would be correct to say that it did not. I passed her and headed to her Jeong Ha-ryun.

“Brother!”

“Ha-ryun is nice.”

When I raised her hand, she laughed and gave me a high five. I take her and approach her examiners, who are staring at her wooden doll with a bewildered expression.

“If the exam is over, can I go in first?”

The top hunter who came to his senses first tapped the test tube next to him. Thanks to that, the man who came to his senses suddenly looked over the scoring sheet and answered.

“Yes? Ah, yes…Even if you go in…No! No! The PvP battle will begin soon, so please wait a little longer.”

You must have been very upset.
Well, it’s the first time I’ve seen an E-class like this.

As soon as I was about to turn around while holding back the laughter that was about to burst out, the top hunter suddenly jumped up.

“No, what are you waiting for? Let’s start right away!”

“Choi, Examiner Choi!?”

“It won’t matter anyway since you guys do the scoring.”

“Ah, no, but procedures are…”

“No, that’s right. Examiner Choi. Calm down!”

“You be quiet!”

Shouting at the examiners next to her, she jumped over the table.

“I can’t let these talented people waste their valuable time. Is not it?”

Five. He’s a flexible top hunter, no, he’s an examiner.

“I’m just grateful that you think so.”

“Yes, yes. But what about the religion you believe in now? Both of them.”

“No religion. Ha-ryun is also without religion?”

Nod.

“Yes? Hey, it’s okay What if you don’t believe me Faith is what you need to grow. Here’s my business card. When you have time, drop by our church. I’ll treat you well.”

I did something, but it wasn’t a religious recommendation… It was a church-affiliated hunter. But what the hell is the church going to do well?

“Choi, Examiner Choi! If the examiner…”

“Oh, be quiet. Aren’t you preaching right now?”

“No…”

“Hmmm, so how? Do you want to start right away or need some time to relax? I don’t care either way.”

“Are you dealing directly with me?”

“Of course! Because that’s what I came for.”

Examiner Choi proudly crossed his arms.
When Jung Ha-ryun or Seol Da-jin did it, I felt erotic because my breasts were highlighted. I don’t feel anything because no one does it.

“Haryeon-ah, what are you going to do?”

“I… Don’t care.”

Once Jeong Ha-ryun passed.
It didn’t matter if I did it right away, so there was only one person left.

“Jung So-hee.”

I approached Jeong So-hee, who was standing in vain, and conveyed Examiner Choi’s words.

“…Instead, there is one condition. I will do it first this time.”

“Yes. Do it.”

It’s not a very difficult request.
As she nodded her head willingly, Examiner Choi approached her and kissed the cross she was wearing around her neck.

“Then let’s start the interpersonal war.”
