Down the canyon was chaos.

Na Jeong-eun shouted into the walkie-talkie.

“What is the message window? I need to earn points in the first wave, but what if the points are already cut?!”

– There’s nothing wrong with the West! what about the other one? You blocked it right?

– There are no monsters missing from the east.

Cheeky!

The conversation did not proceed as everyone was talking only about what they had to say.

“f*ck… .”

I quickly checked the system log. There are 20 messages that the score has decreased. This is enough for a whole wave to reach the point.

Read at readwn.com

Maybe I missed a few at every gate except the south.

‘no way… It’s an important test, so don’t just swear. You can’t make false reports.’

Her thoughts only deepened.

When the reports from the west and east were true.

There was only one possible conjecture.

Han Yoo-jung couldn’t stop the wave at all.

or not blocked.

gulp.

I swallowed my saliva.

The anxiety that had been lingering under her throat for a long time lifted her head.

Han Yoo-jung’s uncooperative attitude. The appearance of buying a game console as if the results of the test didn’t matter.

It kept flashing in my mind.

A single assumption passed before her eyes, but soon she shook her head.

It can’t be.

There’s no way you don’t know what the Hunter exam rank means. Among the hunters who are already holding out like a castle, there is only one way for a promising prospect to give out a business card.

only possibility.

The guild gives priority to promising prospects with high potential. predicting future possibilities.

‘You’re just throwing it down because you’re angry?’

It was not at a level that could be understood by saying that he was young. When doing group assignments, even if there were conflicts with the team members, wouldn’t they somehow finish it until the presentation?

This was a test that could not be compared to any other university assignments.

future life at stake.

– Because the West is okay?! Isn’t Park Ji-hyeon’s side missing out and shouting?!

– As I said before, you have handled 25 perfectly. Twenty logs appeared, but even if I missed a few, it is not understandable.

Two prospects were haggling.

Na Jeong-yeon squatted on the floor with her head on her head.

it won’t be It can’t be. Realistically, it doesn’t make sense.

[The second wave will start soon.]

[Please prepare.]

I raised my head.

The exam has begun.

*

[The second wave will start soon.]

[Please prepare.]

Unsuitable furniture was spread on the empty floor. The walkie-talkie on the table next to the sofa let out an anxious cry.

– First of all, everyone calm down and focus on the exam. Rather than blaming others, you just have to work hard to block the gate you are in charge of.

Han Yoo-jung, lying on the sofa, focused on the game.

Tick, Tack!

Han Yu-jeong, who was pressing the button hard, pulled out the game’s chip. she muttered a little.

“It wouldn’t be much fun if we did this together… .”

It was a fun game, but it was a game I enjoyed alone. Multiplayer was also supported, but there were many limitations in the system.

Click!

Without any regrets, Han Yoo-jung, who removed the chip, stretched out her arm toward the table.

I grabbed the chips that were lying around in my hand as far as I could get them. Inserting the chip, she pressed the button again.

*

Kwajik!

The monsters that were coming were crushed by rocks that fell from the sky and died. The second wave ended with that.

“Clear south.”

Na Jeong-eun nervously crossed her arms and stared at the walkie-talkie.

– I’ve finished all of the West.

– Radish over the east.

Na Jeong-eun asked nervously.

“Are you sure? You didn’t miss a single monster this time, right?”

Cheeky!

Likewise, a nervous answer came from over the walkie-talkie.

– I told you. No monsters missed! No, you can’t miss the 2nd wave in the first place!

She was right.

Those who passed the first exam with the upper-intermediate level. It was just the beginning, and it was strange that the hole had already been drilled.

I chewed my lips well. A message window pops up in the corner of your field of vision. The wave isn’t over yet.

That meant that the battle wasn’t over yet.

“… … This is Han Yoo-jung.”

– Are you Yoo-Jeong Han? why?

It was when Na Jeong-jeong, who had been restless, was about to speak again.

“Maybe Han Yoo-jung… … .”

A message window pops up.

[The monster has arrived at the point. Your score will drop.]

[The score will decrease.]

[The score will decrease.]

[The score will decrease.]

[The score will decrease.]

[The score will decrease.]

.

.

.

.

.

.

[The score will decrease.]

[Points will be reduced.]

-… … .

-… … .

Everyone shut their mouths as if they were speechless.

[The third wave starts in 5 minutes. Please prepare.]

Na Jeong-eun, who had come to his senses, said hurriedly.

“… … Let’s gather at the central point first.”

*

The atmosphere of the prospects was harsh.

“What the hell is this?”

Kim Eun-jung trembled as if she was about to have a seizure. My eyes fluttered with excitement.

Of course, the difficulty increases as you progress to the next stage. But from the beginning until now, you haven’t been able to stop even once and your score has been reduced?

Of course, since it was an early stage, the score wasn’t that great.

But it wasn’t even that small. The top ranks went up and down by a few points difference.

The other hunters must have passed the 2nd stage perfectly. By the way, they started wearing it from the 1st wave.

This difference is huge.

Points are added when the stage is successfully blocked. If you don’t pass even one, you get bonus points. However, it fell over from the free pick-up plate.

The atmosphere couldn’t be better.

“You’re just kidding me on the test of life, what? I haven’t been able to buy a walkie-talkie since I’ve been buying game consoles for a year!”

While Kim Eun-jung was cheering, Na Jeong-jeong crossed her arms and was immersed in thought. She made a decision and opened her mouth.

“For once, we give up on blocking each other.”

“yes?”

Park Ji-hyun opened her eyes wide and asked.

“Are we going to give up our strategic advantages and get together? You haven’t been able to block all of the 2nd wave already, so you don’t have enough points?”

It wasn’t just that they were scattered and blocked. The way from the gate to the point.

That was the time limit of the battle.

It was possible to do guerrilla warfare with hit and run, and if it was a difficult match, it was possible to exchange positions with other team members.

Giving up all those strategies and blocking in front of a point means giving up an active strategy.

I don’t know if there is a specialized ability to defend the base, otherwise, it was the best choice to basically take charge of each area.

Nayeon said with a frown.

“Then what? Are you going to ruin the test by continuing to miss monsters? We have to stop it from the center first.”

Park Ji-hyun nodded and stepped back. That was a reasonable opinion.

“… I’ll do as Na-jeong said. That would be better.”

As long as a hole is constantly being drilled somewhere, it is better to block them all together.

I said, scratching my head.

“And, to be honest, you also vaguely know who the problem is.”

The other prospects seemed to struggle to deny the results that came to their mind.

why? why? wherefore?

This is because reasoning is blocked as to whether he is doing such a thing that he is also avoiding.

However, after excluding the impossible options, that was all that was left in the end.

“Be honest about that, we.”

“yes?”

“This is Han Yoo-jung.”

I rubbed the darkened corners of my eyes.

“Don’t you think you are deliberately not blocking the north gate?”

*

When the 3rd wave begins.

The prospects were eventually forced to admit it. Monsters from the north that were not hurt by a single hair arrived at the central point.

Han Yu-jeong was not blocking the north gate. I don’t know why. The future of life depended on it.

But what if you deliberately act against the exam?

Even the prospects that the guild is pushing for at least a year, if the bottom of the guild did not catch the eye, there were times for three or four years.

I worked hard for a long time and passed the first test, but throwing away the result, nothing like that could happen.

Why is Han Yoo-jung doing this?

The prospects didn’t even have time to feel questioned. I had to make up for the lost points.

Na Jeong-yeon dragged a huge rock to the center point with telemetry. They made a barricade with it.

Prospects in the warrior position each took over half of the division.

One to the northwest, one to the southeast.

Na Jeong-eun dealt with the monster that broke through the defense line.

[You have cleared the 3rd wave.]

[You get extra points.]

[You have cleared the 4th wave.]

[You get extra points.]

[You have cleared the 5th wave.]

[You get extra points.]

.

.

.

The lost points were restored, but the faces of the prospects were not good. Na-jeong said into the walkie-talkie.

“Han Yoo-jung, are you listening? I know what you’re listening to.”

How much gold did you get as the stage progressed? I would have bought a radio for 25 gold. I exclaimed earnestly.

“Stop it now… Stop it and block the area you are in charge of, you bastard!! hey! Are you listening right now?!”

Park Ji-hyun, who was servicing the equipment, approached in stride. She stole the walkie-talkie from Na-jeong and threw it on the floor. And I squashed it with my heel.

“Nah Jeong-jeong, don’t lose your strength. I guess I’ve already made up my mind not to do it.”

Park Ji-hyun poured the potion into her mouth with a pale complexion. An empty glass bottle was lying around the floor.

Na Jeong-yeon nervously messed up her hair. she snapped

“Are you telling me to stop? Do you think you will pass this way?!”

What should be done by 4 people is shared by 3 people. The void is bound to feel huge. I barely managed to stop the one I almost missed.

Due to the structure of the exam, which became more difficult as time passed, I started to worry about failing, let alone getting additional scores.

There was only one way. Han Yoo-jung must return.

“From the beginning of the test, the diver, how?”

At Park Ji-hyun’s question, Na Jeong-yeol shut her mouth.

[The 6th wave will start soon.]

[Please prepare.]

Park Ji-hyun put her shield on the ground and looked at the gate.

*

[The monster has arrived at the point. Your score will drop.]

[The score will decrease.]

[The score will decrease.]

[The score will decrease.]

.

.

.

There was no way it could be stopped.

I started missing a few monsters from the 7th wave, and eventually failed to score points from the 9th wave.

“Ahhh!!”

Park Ji-hyun shouted. The eyes of the gathered monsters were focused on her.

Park Ji-hyun’s body was swept away in an instant, like a boat being swallowed by the waves. She swung her shield and sword, hitting the monsters.

It was more like a dogfight than a battle.

There was not enough space to swing the sword, and the space to retreat was blocked.

Prospect Kim Eun-jeong, who blocked the other side, had the same situation.

So while the two of you stand still.

Na Jeong-eun, who was watching from a distance, dealt with the monsters one by one with telemetry. Blood was dripping from his nose. It felt like my head was going to explode from the overload of my abilities.

Still couldn’t stop.

[score: 327]

The 1,935 points received in the first test have already dropped to 327 points.

In the end, you have to be pushed back in the second half. This is because the difficulty increases as the stage goes up.

The main issue was how late to meet the drop-off period.

However, I ate all the points from the previous stage.

To be honest, I didn’t even think what would happen if Han Yoo-jung participated.

He just killed the monsters with the feeling of catching even straw.

dump.

I sat down on the floor. The limit has come. Telekinesis did not develop.

[The monster has arrived at the point.]

[The score will decrease.]

[score: 327 -> 293]

The monsters went beyond the warriors to the central point.

[The score will decrease.]

[score: 293 -> 182]

[The score will decrease.]

[score: 182 -> 77]

.

.

.

[The score will decrease.]

[score: 77 -> 0]

[This is an overkill.]

Nayeon smiled sadly.

Now it was only the ninth wave. There were up to 20 stages in total, and I didn’t even finish half of it, so I was wrong.

It was only a matter of time for the prospects who were still working hard to block. If you add a few more monsters, it’s just a glitch.

‘Since the 9th stage, the situation is infrequent, what should I do?’

it’s all over

So hey hey hey hey!

Then, in the distance, a ripping sound was heard. A dark red meteor with its back to the sun was flying nearby.

“… … What is it, f*ck?”

I got up from my seat, bewildered. There was an ominous vibe. It felt like my throat was going to be cut off from the dreary life.

So hey hey hey hey!

The flying shooting star suddenly changed direction and hit the central point. The light exploded with a roar.

flash!

“Aww!”

The wind blew in all directions once. His clothes fluttered wildly. Na Jeong-eun grabbed her shriveled ears. She looked at the central point.

Fish-Wood–!

The monsters’ heads exploded. The neck, which had lost its head, spouted a fountain of blood everywhere.

It was a bizarre sight. The monsters that had been standing a while ago fell to the floor at the same time.

Blood seeps into the tip of the nose.

dripping, dripping.

rain fell from the sky Na Jeong-yeon wiped the sticky liquid on her forehead with the back of her hand.

“blood… ?”

She suddenly turned her head. The girl was standing.

Han Yoo-jung.

it was her

In the dripping veins of blood, his red eyes were burning like naturalization.

Na Jeong-eun was unable to breathe and fixed her gaze on her. Han Yoo-jeong made eye contact with Na Ji-jeong.

Calm and indifferent eyes. I felt something squealing from my throat.

“You, you, what are you doing? So far, uh, where the hell… !”

Han Yoo-jung brushed her blood-soaked hair.

Little lips opened.

“Now, let’s all hold on to our mentality.”

&

The Taesan guild manager took me to a cafe near the test center. I sat by the window and had coffee.

What’s really going on with this guy?

I drank an Americano with a sigh. the tip of the tongue is bitter

I remembered the time we met at a cafe near the hotel.

At that time, as soon as I sat down on the other side of the table, I had a stern reaction telling me to turn it off.

But now he’s sitting me down, saying he’ll buy coffee first.

What’s your plan?

“What are you so vigilant about? I don’t eat it, so I loosen my eyebrows.”

Can I put my mind at ease?

The person who was originally beaten will not be forgotten for a long time.

He asked, squeezing his wrinkled eyebrows.

“Why do you dare bring me to the cafe?”

The manager shrugged at my question.

“Fellowshipping.”

“Are you making friends?”

I looked at the manager’s face. It didn’t look like a joke. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen it.

“why? Don’t you believe me when I say this?”

“Then can you believe it? It’s strange for the killer next door to come with a rice cake and open the door.”

“Baby, I’m going to say… you’ll believe this when you see it.”

The manager took out a business card from his arms and handed it to him.

I’m going to go straight to the trash can anyway, so I was wondering why the paper was so wasteful… .

I glanced at the business card and blinked.

Why is this in that person’s hand?

[Bastard Sword]

[CEO Han Ye-rim]

Is it Han Ye-rim’s business card?

“Yerim… Have you met the representative of our guild?”

“okay.”

The manager said while stirring the whipped cream with a straw.

“I got a scout offer from CEO Han Ye-rim.”

“yes?”

“He asked if he wanted to take on the new Hunter management team.”
