Chapter 8 – The Difference Between You and Me (3)

“Oh! Sungkyu Choi! What are you doing?”

Seeing me raise my hand to volunteer, the professor put a smile on his face.

Come to think of it, when I was in school, I wasn’t the type to actively engage in anything.
Because of his tall height and physique, he stands out easily, so there were a lot of requests in the beginning.

From professors and students around them.

However, I have been through the same things since I was young, and in the end, I realized that if I rushed to accept something I couldn’t handle, I could cause trouble to many people later.
After that experience accumulated, I was reluctant to step out on my own.

The professor often called me to the practice because I had a physical appearance that stood out from other students, but after seeing that I was not active, he rarely recommended me.

Looking at the professor’s reaction, various things from my previous life naturally came to mind.

“Come on out.”

Said the professor with a laugh.

In fact, this lifetime did not require a radical change in my attitude.
I still don’t want to take on things that I can’t handle.

However, seeing how Park Jong-gil suffered, he wanted to take revenge on him, albeit in a small way.

Wasn’t Seulgi Lee taken away because of an inferiority complex after all?
His Achilles heel was there.

I thought that if my inferiority complex became a blow, I would beat it up as much as I wanted.

【The sub quest has been opened.】
【Subquests are activated when certain situations and conditions are met.】
【You can’t decide whether to accept it as it disappears when the situation and conditions are lifted.】

‘A sub-quest?’

The term itself wasn’t difficult to understand.

The so-called ‘NTL Seulgi Lee and Jonggil Park’ must be the main quest.
The game also had the concept of main quests and side quests.

Seeing that it was a specific situation and condition, it seemed to be a random quest.

===========================================

Title: The difference between you and me (1)
Goal: Humiliate Park Jong-gil in front of the professor and students.
Difficulty: F

Success Reward: Free Skill Slot X 1

Failure Penalty:-

===========================================

‘It’s humiliating…’

Even if it wasn’t, I volunteered for the battle against Aquitas for the same purpose.
If another student had been in the same situation as Park Jong-gil, he would not have dared to step forward.

‘It’s not difficult.’

All the situations that would humiliate Park Jong-gil had already been created.
So the difficulty of the quest must be F.

‘A free skill slot?’

It seemed to be a skill-related reward, but I wasn’t sure what it was.
There was no penalty, so it was a quest that just had to be completed.

“Why but?”

The professor asked me as I stood still after seeing the sub-quest that suddenly popped up.

“No.”

I cleared the quest window and went downstairs.

As I was going down the stairs, a girl I didn’t know—at least I couldn’t remember—said, “Sung-gyu, you’re good.”

Without thinking, she replied, “Thanks.” He made noise and chatted with his friends.

‘Did I say I was popular with women?’

When she looked at the ‘Book of Memories’, there was something like that.
It was hard for her to be completely unaware of that fact, even in her previous life, to be honest.

But such a distant interest had no direct connection to my life.
My mindset was to focus on the girlfriend I was dating right away.
I was afraid that my girlfriend would feel bad, so I intentionally blocked the attention of other women.

‘Or she couldn’t have been NTRed 21 times.’

If women didn’t like me, I couldn’t have met new women constantly.
When I was filled with despair and thought that I would never do something like dating again, a new connection always appeared.
There was hardly even a delay.

It wasn’t something that could be said to be bad in general terms, but it worked as a curse on me.
Because I got NTR as many times as I dated a girlfriend.

‘As a blessing in this life…’

Depending on how the story develops and concludes, the same fact can be either a curse or a blessing.

What was a curse in the previous life could be turned into a blessing in this life.

The professor asked as I stepped forward.

“You use a weapon too, don’t you?”
“Yes. But I’m not going to take it out.”

I basically knew how to handle a variety of weapons.
He could do tanking to a certain extent and did not hesitate to engage in close combat if necessary.

It was like multiplayer, but this also worked to my advantage in my Hunter career.

“With bare hands? Are you okay? As you know, even if it’s a hologram, it’s not something to be ignored. It can actually do damage to your mind and body.”
“I know.”

It’s been a long time since I’ve hunted Aquitas in a dungeon.
Because as my rank went up, they naturally ran away when they met me.
Even if I hunted them, the crystal stones I could get weren’t that great, so I didn’t bother chasing after them.

However, in the early days of my hunter life, I hunted a lot of these miscellaneous mobs.
In order to increase experience in the guild, beginners were deliberately made to hunt a lot of low-grade monsters.
Of course, there was also a realistic calculation that the cost of entering a beginner hunter could be offset to some extent.

‘There’s nothing to use until the weapon.’

If you cut it, the game is over.
The same goes for breaking the head.

However, it was difficult to give Park Jong-gil enough humiliation.

The title of the sub-quest was ‘The difference between you and me’.
This means that the purpose is to make Park Jong-gil clearly recognize the difference between me and me.

“Ugh. It’s good to be confident, but be careful.”
“Thank you.”

The professor sat down in his chair with a slightly uneasy expression.
No matter how mischievous a professor may be, he would not want to do anything that would really harm his students.

“Tell me when you are ready.”

I stood in front of Aquitas.
Park Jong-gil looked up at me while being tied up.
His expression was so distorted that he couldn’t see with his eyes open.

“I am ready.”

The professor operated the remote control.

“Keeik!”

Aquitas, which had been stationary, began to move again.

Park Jong-gil was startled and tried to escape from the monster, wriggling like a caterpillar.

I activated Mana and made Aquitas know that I was your opponent.

“Kyik?”

He rolled his big eyes and searched for me.

However,

“Kiyiik!”

Suddenly, the guy turned him around and ran away, kicking and kicking his feet.
As soon as it got out of range, the hologram that shaped it disappeared.

I blankly looked at the place where the monster had disappeared.

‘I didn’t expect this.’

Aquitas probes his opponent to determine if he can fight.
When I showed strong confidence without any pressure, I ran away because I didn’t want to.

“Haha…”

The professor laughed behind his back.

I turned around and told him.

“Could you please increase the output?”
“Okay? Are you planning not to use your weapon again this time?”
“Yes.”

The professor made Aquitas appear anew without saying anything more.
This time, it was the one who raised the output a notch.

“Key profit?”

Again, the result was the same.
If there is a difference, it is that the judgment of the monster is much faster than before.
It was because this guy was conscious of me from the start, compared to the previous guy who was arrogant by suppressing Park Jong-gil.

Tatada dot!

He also ran away, looking behind him, and soon disappeared.

The students started whispering.
They basically did not understand this phenomenon properly.

About half of them knew that the monster had escaped because of the strong aura I gave off, but the other half still suspected that there was something wrong with the system.
If this was the case, Park Jong-gil would also interpret it at will and win the spirit.

I spoke to the professor again.

“Excuse me, but could you please increase the output?”
“Mmm.”

Unlike earlier, when he was anxious, the professor was now smiling all over his face.
He said with a very relaxed look on his face.

“Okay.”

He appeared a new Aquitas, and this time it was a monster with original combat power without any nerfs.
Even at a glance, the momentum was completely different from those that appeared before.

“Kyik?”

However, the reaction seen was not different.
It’s just that it’s big, but should we say that the basics as a miscellaneous mob are the same?

I decided to move first because I thought it couldn’t end the same way this time.
I quickly ran to the guy who was about to turn around and put on his headlock.

“Kiyiik!!”

The bewildered man struggled.

I grabbed his head with one forearm and grabbed one of his legs with the other and cut it off.

Pop!

The bodily fluids splashed, but since it was a hologram, it didn’t actually stain my skin or the floor.

I lifted the severed leg of Aquitas and pierced his huge eyeball.

Hooked!

“Keeeeek!”

The guy groaned and groaned.
I held my breath tight and didn’t let go until I died.

“Keii, Kiiik…”

As the strength gradually drained from his body, his legs, which had been struggling, drooped down.
The hologram of Aquitas disappeared with a halo of light.

“Wow!!”

Cheers erupted from behind.
It was the sound of students clapping and knocking on desks.

I thought it was a bit excessive, but it seemed to make a big impression anyway.
