Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-
Min Byung-wook took off the hat he was wearing.
“It’s too harsh for a graduate.”
“Ugh!”
A black air current rose around Min Byung-wook.
An air current that resembles a snake.
At the same time, it immediately suffocated the hunters who were on guard.
Jo Han-min was also a target.
Accordingly, Jo Han-min made a quick decision and attempted a high-altitude jump.
Whoop-!
“Heh! It’s pretty good. But that’s it.”
It is said that Jo Han-min, a C-level hunter, responded quickly.
It was only for a moment.
Fuuuk-!
“Wow!!”
“So, I wish you would obediently follow my instructions.”
“Ugh, nu… Who are you? Reveal your identity… Reveal it, ugh!”
It was difficult for Jo Han-min, who was only a C-level hunter, to avoid all of Min Byung-wook’s onslaughts.
Moreover, the deep wound on his shoulder.
Not only did the bleeding get worse, but he even vomited blood.
Fighting was impossible, and even standing still was difficult.
“It’s a shame, I don’t have any free time today. “I can’t play for long.”
For Min Byeong-wook, wasting time was a luxury.
Moreover, there was no point in wasting energy on something like this.
All I wanted was ‘a staff made of world trees’.
“Then, let me cut it off right away.”
Min Byung-wook expressed the dark energy even more strongly.
Even if I just stared at him, I was so scared that I couldn’t move my limbs.
Jo Han-min also didn’t know what to do.
“I need to inform you of the current situation… Sigh. body… “My body doesn’t listen.”
On this important day.
Jo Han-min had no choice but to blame himself when a hole in his security was discovered.
The situation he was in right now was frustrating.
Min Byung-wook raised his staff high.
Dark clouds began to gather around him, and black lightning flashed.
“then. “This is where I say goodbye.”
There was no other way for Jo Han-min.
Realizing that his life had come to an end, he closed his eyes tightly.
“You have no shame… … .”
It seems like he has given up on everything.
Jo Han-min lowered his head.
Eventually, black lightning was about to strike down above my head.
Quaaang- Quaaang-
That moment!
“Iron Curtain!”
Suddenly, he escaped danger with a golden shield.
Phew!
Even my closed eyes opened of their own accord.
Then, a very familiar voice came from in front of him.
Chop-
“You held up well. “Now get some rest.”
“Professor Wu!”
It was none other than Woo No-hyuk.
He cast the skill at the right(?) timing and barely saved Jo Han-min’s life.
The unexpected appearance of Woo No-hyuk brought tears to Jo Han-min’s eyes.
“Is it still worth holding on?”
“Of course! professor.”
I was so happy to see Woo No-hyuk appear.
Even while Jo Han-min was lying down, he somehow tried to get up.
“Don’t overdo it. Just stay here.”
“Well, what about here?”
“It was getting on my nerves a little while ago. Of course, I didn’t know it would be like this… .”
Woo No-hyuk also felt anxious, knowingly or unknowingly.
In particular, it was he who ordered special attention to the Xenics main building.
He was also watching the situation closely.
Eventually, Woo No-hyuk did not let go of the sword from his hand.
I tried to understand the situation through Jo Han-min.

“Who are the survivors?”
“S-sorry. As you can see.”
“Did everything happen to me…? .”
“There is no shame.”
“What is the purpose? So far… .”
Even though Woo No-hyuk looks around with a miserable feeling.
All the hunters, who seemed to be about fifteen, had collapsed, and the area was full of corpses.
It is said that the hunters were easily subdued in a short period of time.
“I guess not usually.”
No matter how much I say, Jo Han-min is only a C-level hunter.
Because he would never be defeated easily even in a bloody fight with a high-level hunter.
To have been treated so absurdly as now.
It made us guess that the intruder’s fighting power was beyond imagination.
“It won’t end easily.”
Because I had to make up my mind.
Woo No-hyuk injected magical energy into his sword skills early on.
Min Byeong-wook laughed heartily as if he was looking at Woo No-hyuk.
“Giggles, who is this? Isn’t this Woo Noh-hyuk from ‘Red Sword’?”
“… !!”
“As expected, you are still quick to judge the situation. “You can see how he immediately injects magic power into his sword.”
A voice that seems to have been heard somewhere.
Soon after, Woo No-hyuk realized this as soon as he saw the guy who had even taken off his black sunglasses.
“… Min Byeong-wook!”
“It’s been a while, Nohyuk Woo. “Would you like to take a look at the skills of an old classmate?”
“Min Byeong-wook… “Why are you here?”
***
Meanwhile, Minjun was heading towards the Xenics main building.
-It looks like it’s already started.
‘You won’t be defeated easily. ‘It’s not for nothing that Woo No-hyuk is called the Red Sword.’
-I don’t know if it’s any other way. That friend is somewhat trustworthy.
‘It would be nice if you could take as much time as possible.’
-Anyway, I wonder if I will be hooked after seeing that staff.
‘At this rate, it can be said that they are almost 90% similar.’
I attached some leaves I found nearby to Anna Park’s staff.
At first glance, it looked similar to ‘a staff made from world trees’.
I don’t know if Min Byeong-wook will be mistaken when he sees this.
Minjun just hoped that things would go as planned.
Next, Minjun did not head to the main entrance of Xenix’s main building, but took a different route.
An underground tunnel leading to the main building of Xenics, which is not known to anyone.
Even if it was Min Byeong-wook who arrived at the Xenics main building first.
I was sure that I would be the one to enter the main building first.
“I think it’s like this.”
It is quite far from Xenix’s main building.
However, if you enter the underground tunnel where Minjun is standing.
There was a direct connection to the place where the ‘Staff Made of World Trees’ was enshrined.
This is also something I knew thanks to reading the original work.
“No one will be there, right?”
Minjun aimed his arrow at the ordinary floor.
Kwaaaaang-
Min-jun’s arrow sent debris on the floor flying in all directions.
At the same time.
As if reminiscent of a sinkhole.
A huge and dark underground tunnel emerged.
-You’re so good at finding things like this? It’s surprising?
‘That was the fun of this novel. ‘The author subtly planted a lot of puzzle elements.’
Including the whole world.
Because the scale of Xenix Academy is so vast, there are many buildings between them.
There were various hidden connecting passages that led secretly.
Of course, this is a closely guarded secret.
Not only were there very few Xenics officials who were aware of all of this.
Memorizing all of the more than 100 secret passages clearly had its limits.
The author of <Daddy’s Palace> also made a lot of effort to make readers aware of this part.
One day, I drew an overall map of Xenics Academy and posted a notice.
There was also a time when he revealed illustrations of supporting characters he particularly cared about.
‘Shall we sneak in?’
***
Xenics Academy large stadium.
The competition to determine the most promising sword master was about to begin.
Participants in the Try Sword Master were all waiting in the waiting room.
“Seoya, do you know what I mean? It’s all about taking the lead in the beginning. “Go hard from the beginning.”
“west… Seoah knows… “I’ll take care of it.”
“Hey, Solji! That’s because you don’t know. I didn’t know, but there were a lot of times when I secretly got emotionally involved?! “Isn’t that the case when we perform secret missions together?”
Even if it’s Seo-ah Lee, who entered Xenix Academy at the top of her class.
Of course, there are drawbacks.
Especially since most of the trainees participating in Try Sword Master were upper grades.
Lee Seo-ah, who still lacked much experience, was the person Park Anna was attracted to.
“Okay, stop, stop.”
“This is all for you to do well.”
“It just sticks in my head. So please stop.”
“ah! And I forgot something! Do you see that handsome oppa over there?!”
“… ?”
Park Anna pointed to one participant who was particularly tall and whispered to Lee Seo-ah.
“I’m sure you’ve vaguely heard of the name. My name is Lin Feng. Last year’s Tri Sword Master winner.”
“… … .”
“Everyone is looking at Lin Feng as the favorite to win. ah… “But I trust you, Seo!”
“Why are my pupils shaking?”
“Really.”
Lee Seo-ah noticed that Anna Park’s eyes were losing focus.
Of course she also knew of Lin Feng’s presence.
As you can see just by looking at the ‘Yonghando’ he is holding right now.
The aura emanating from the outside was constantly felt to be overwhelming.
“Just looking at Yonghando can make you feel a little intimidated, but don’t let that scare you. Understand?”
“Who said you were scared?”
Park Anna also wondered if Lee Seo-ah might be scared.
It gave comfort, not comfort.
“Yes, yes. I really like that kind of mindset! But, where on earth has Cha Min-jun gone? Seo-Ah is now competing as a representative of XENIX! “We should cheer together!”
“I do not need.”
“Ah, but it’s better to have something than nothing!”
“I’m not curious, so I guess I’m not here.”
“Hey, no! Did I ask you to tell me that I’m sorry for not being able to cheer you on? “I said I would come as soon as I finished work!”
“I wasn’t expecting anything in the first place.”
Lee Seo-ah spoke bluntly inwardly.
First, if what Anna Park said is true.
Even if it was late, I thought it would be a little comforting if they cheered for me.
“The game will start soon. “The group preliminaries will be held first, so I will enter Group A in the order in which my name is called.”
The Tri Sword Master group stage was about to begin.
Park Anna continued to support Lee Seo-ah by massaging her shoulders until the end.
“Lee Seo-ah! Go for it!”
“I’ll come back.”
Seo-ah Lee held her sword and confidently took to the field.
There are only 6 participants in one group.
Since the group was divided into 9 groups including Group I, in some ways it was quite advantageous for her to have a fast playing time.
Shashak- Shashak-
“No match possible! “Xenics Academy Lee Seo-ah wins!”
The top student at Xenics Academy.
As if to show off, Lee Seo-ah quickly destroyed the group stage.
Not only has her ‘combat skill’ been much more refined than when she first entered school, but her power has also increased.
I feel like my movements have become lighter than ever.
It seemed like we could easily advance to the final stage as well.
Finally, the last group I.
Lin Feng, whom Lee Seo-ah should be most wary of, finally made a sortie.
