Chapter 8 – 8. Promotion Test
Kwawang!!!
When the black magic bullet exploded, the killer rabbit disappeared. It couldn’t even leave a shape in its mighty power.
Jeong Ha-ryun, who came out of the gate, lowered the magic wand and said dazedly.
“Sah, there was even a killer rabbit… But it’s gone.”
“That, that’s right.”
I am as surprised as she is.
It was a destructive power that could not be explained just by the magic power level reaching 20.
I don’t know if it’s this powerful, but it should be D-class or higher.
“This black magic…That was a huge thing.”
As she said, the power of black magic was amazing. Not only the power, but also the projectile speed and range of magic bullets went up together.
“I didn’t know it would be like this either. But isn’t it a bit awkward? It’s the power the guy who bullied you gave you.”
“That’s true…But you can’t not use magic…”
“That’s right.”
It’s not a curse, and there’s no way to get rid of it.
“Besides, there is an E-level exam.”
Jeong Ha-ryun received a call from me on the day he signed the contract, that is, yesterday evening, and hurriedly submitted an application for the E-level exam.
There was a sense that it was a little early, but if I missed this test, the next test would be three months later.
It even overlaps with the D-level exam.
It was impossible to advance to the second level, so if she missed this opportunity, she would have no choice but to fall behind me by one level.
‘I’m good enough anyway, so I’ll pass easily if I gain some experience.’
Experience is what you have to build up while going around the gate hard for the rest of the period.
“Didn’t you say you were going down to the provinces?”
“Yeah…There’s only one exam site left. Same date…”
“Sorry.”
It would have been nice to go together.
No, at least if only the date was different.
Then we would have been able to cheer each other up a bit, and after the exam, we could have had a good day at the motel to show that we did a good job.
‘It can’t be helped.’
It was entirely my fault for the delay in submitting the exam.
Apologizing, I spread my jacket on the ground, made her sit down, and checked S.L.U.S next to her.
“Disable the F-level gate ‘Killing Rabbit Garden’. I got 30 points.」
“I have a party with the contractor. An additional 30 points were obtained.」
Since today is the first party hunting with Jeong Ha-ryun, who became the contractor, I wondered if there would be a change in the point supply.
‘Double the price?’
If I knew this would happen, I would have signed the contract right away.
‘…I don’t think there’s such a thing as a return ticket on the draw list.’
There won’t be
Actually, I wouldn’t use it.
‘Once you enter the same gate, you know the points are doubled, so what if you enter different gates?’
If it’s Jung Ha-ryun now, he should be able to easily destroy an F-level gate. I ended the party after explaining the reason to her.
After each gate was deactivated, we met again to check the acquisition points.
“Disable the F-level gate ‘Killing Rabbit Garden’. I got 30 points.」
“The contractor disabled the F-level gate ‘Tooth Frog Cave’. I got 15 points.”
“How much do you charge?”
“Half.”
“Then let’s just go in together.”
“That would be better. But Ha-Ryeon-ah.”
“Yeah?”
She raised her head after borrowing my shoulder for a moment. I could feel the gaze hidden in the shadow of the brim looking into my eyes.
“Are you going to keep using honorifics?”
“Ah…Can’t I?…I’m just older than me…I thought this would be better…”
“As far as honorifics go… It’ll be fine. But what about the name? You’re not going to keep calling me Daewoong after having sex, right?”
“Ah, eh…That…Bar, outside…That, that’s…”
“It’s true, but what about it?”
“Sah, even if it’s true, it’s embarrassing.”
You too were a Confucian girl.
“Sex.”
“Ho, title bar, I’ll change it! I’ll change it, so please don’t talk like that outside…”
Seeing him restless in embarrassment, I wanted to torture him even more, but let’s stop here for today.
“Okay. Then call me brother from now on.”
“Oh, can I call you brother?”
“What can’t you do?”
“Then… Daewoong oppa… Hehe…”
What is that laughter?
Anyway, since the name arrangement was over, all that was left was to collect points.
‘Oh, come to think of it, they gave me some kind of increase ticket yesterday.’
I suddenly remembered the increase ticket I received yesterday and turned on S.L.U.S again,
* EXP increase ticket (10 days)
-(Special limited) You can get double EXP.
– Does not apply to S.L.U.S.
Turned it off right away
Excluding S.L.U.S, even if I combine Jeong Ha-ryun’s and me’s characteristics, there are only two.
Even that is just a general characteristic.
‘It’s a bright dog apricot.’
Let’s use the experience point increase coupon later.
I headed for the gate with Jeong Ha-ryun wrapped around his waist.
* * *
Time passed and it was the day of the test.
All of my stats were set to 30, and my weapon skills went up by 1 level to level 6.
Jeong Ha-ryun’s other stats were all 20, her magic attribute was 30, and her overpowered characteristic was at the same level as my weapon skill, level 6.
‘It’s fortunate that my overpower went up to level 5 quickly.’
It took 800 points just to raise the overpower from level 5 to level 6. If he had invested with points from level 2, he wouldn’t have raised his abilities this much.
‘I’m sure the points are doubled, so my growth is fast.’
When I arrived at the entrance of the test center building, I checked the time.
I had about an hour to spare.
After watching the video for the rest of the time, Hunter Talk arrived from Jeong Ha-ryun, who had been down in the provinces in advance.
– Has your brother arrived?
@ I just arrived. Did it happen now?
– (That’s great, Con)
– Yes, I just woke up.
@(You’re amazing too, Con)
-It’s okay because I have an exam in the afternoon. Actually, I was going to sleep a little longer.
-(Hwaiting Con) I was forced to stand up to support my brother.
How can you impress people in this way?
Tomorrow is sex angle from breakfast to lunch.
I raised my stamina to 30, so even if I don’t have stamina, it’s possible to do it 4 times.
Even after that, as I was exchanging Hunter Talk with Jung Ha-ryun, the door of the test site opened.
– 30 minutes before the start of the exam. F-class Hunters, please enter inside while observing order and manners.
When a voice came out of the external speaker, the F-class hunters waiting outside rushed in.
I also joined the ranks and moved into the building.
‘It’s clean. The facilities are also good. Well, the hunters are sucking up their money, so I have to do this much.’
When I entered the exam waiting room on the second floor, I saw a large door inside. After sitting in the reserved seat, the exam hall quickly filled with people.
20 minutes before the start of the test.
Three men and women wearing examiner badges entered the exam room.
Centered around a middle-aged man with an impressive beard, a red-haired woman and a young man who seemed to have just turned 20 stood on either side.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Do Woon-jae, a C-class hunter. As you all know, the content of the test is to face a total of two types of monsters, and it will be conducted in groups of three.”
As he said, the E-class test only consisted of two battles in total.
The first was an individual match where you had to face the Little Giant alone, and the second was a cooperative match where you had to work together to face multiple goblins.
Well, it’s not like you’re fighting real monsters.
Although it was a fight with a doll that reproduced the monster’s habits and fighting style as it was.
“I will start the exam. Hunters called by name, please come forward.”
The exam soon began.
The first group called went through the door with the middle-aged examiner, followed shortly by the second group and the younger examiner.
I was in the fifth group.
The young examiner came out with a voice mixed with annoyance about how much time had passed and called out another member of the group.
As I went forward, two male hunters stood side by side next to me. Seeing that everyone was holding wooden weapons in their hands, it seemed that there was no wizard.
“How old is the examiner?”
While waiting, one of our members spoke to the examiner.
He looks young, but since he is a test tube that only C-class hunters can do, he must have been curious.
“You know what to do.”
The young examiner answered him bluntly.
“Haha, I was just curious. You look young, but you are already a test tube.”
“Even though I’m young, I’m much stronger than you, so don’t worry. If you’re like me, I’d rather stretch at least when it’s time to talk. Tsk”
You can see the face of the man talking to him turn red and blue in real time.
That person will fall
So why are you talking nonsense?
But all of a sudden I’m curious too.
“Are you from the Academy?”
“Yes, by the way. Why?”
“Nope. I just think so.”
After all, this bastard was an academy bug.
It seemed that it was not cheap for some reason.
While thinking like that.
The door to the exam hall opened.
“Go in.”
As I slowly went inside, I came to a space that was divided into three areas by drawing a line. Inside each section stood a black wooden doll.
“Deduct points even if you go out of line. Points are deducted even if you don’t knock it down within 5 minutes. So why fight hard? F-class Hunters.”
As soon as Academy Chung finished speaking, the wooden puppets holding sticks began to move.
