Damn Necromancer (64)
Testing Ground (1)
“I can’t not tell you about something like this. “Because there will be others who feel as uncomfortable as me.”
―Oh, no! From now on, I will not carelessly ignore people! It’s true!
Popo answered urgently.
“So, please don’t tell me?”
-please… … .
“papaw. You definitely did me wrong. Right?”
-Yes, that’s right.
“Is it okay to spit on someone and say sorry? “Apologies are meaningless if they are just words.”
-Then how… … .
It would be foolish to ask directly here.
A real expert.
“Think about it carefully. “What can you do?”
How to induce an answer.
The ears of the trembling teddy bear perked up.
Soon after.
-Well, I’m just a lowly, low-ranking examiner. that… … Your name is… … ?
“It’s Kim Min-woo.”
―… … yes. There’s something I can give to someone like Minwoo who is amazing enough to sponsor a job change ticket… … I don’t have any.
“You don’t have any. So that means it might exist for someone. “Then why don’t you at least ask me a favor?”
―Well, that’s… … .
“Okay, that’s it. What am I doing? there! “Is there anyone?”
-Now, just a moment!
Popo held his hand with both hands, his eyes watering.
―Well, let me ask my senior for a favor! He’s a close friend of mine, so I’m sure he’ll listen carefully!
“okay. It’s not because I’m so greedy for rewards. know?”
―Oh, it’s okay! I know it without you saying it! This is to give me some guidance!
okay.
As for teddy bears, you just need to know that.
―Huh, Seo Ye-rim?
“yes?”
-Now, could you wait a moment? I think I should go see my senior… … .
“… … Please.”
Popo’s new form instantly became blurry. Seo Ye-rim said while glancing in this direction.
“It’s poisonous, it’s poisonous.”
“Why are you doing that? “You saved the poor teddy bear from retirement.”
“That’s why it’s poisonous.”
“It’s unfair. “It’s all for our planet.”
“… … ?”
“I have to become stronger to clear the gate and protect the Earth.”
“Oh, I see.”
“Yes, that’s it.”
Since it already came with it, shouldn’t I just grab something and eat it before leaving?
It’s good that Popo didn’t retire.
It’s nice to get an unexpected bonus here.
It’s a win-win for both sides.
There was no reason to be toxic.
* * *
Popo, standing in front of the door, swallowed his saliva. Inside, there was a being that it was difficult for a prisoner to even look up at.
Angel Ziphael.
Angels are higher beings that everyone dreams of.
It is a noble state that can be reached only after countless years of meritorious work and recognition. Moreover, Ziphael was not even a lowly angel.
He is a mid-level angel.
This means that, at best, it is difficult for a popo who has just become an official measurement officer to even talk to.
However, the reason he was able to muster courage was because Ziphael had also once worked with him as an examiner.
About a thousand years ago.
When he was a trainee measurement officer and Jifael was a worn-out top level measurement officer.
I was lucky enough to be part of a group and receive training from her.
At that time, Popo received a lot of love from Jiphael thanks to his appearance.
It was still the same now.
Ziphael would sometimes call her and hug her tightly like a precious doll.
‘I-I’m not a doll, but… … .’
They are great teddy bears with a sense of self, and they are by no means ordinary dolls.
Anyway.
Thanks to that relationship, Popo was able to escape the immediate crisis.
‘Well, I definitely have to convince my senior.’
Only then will we be able to completely escape this terrible crisis.

Popo cautiously knocked on the door.
“who are you?”
―Hey, this is Popo. may I come in?
Jump up!
The door opened.
Ziphael immediately jumped out and hugged Popo with a bright smile.
“papaw! “Isn’t this the first time you came here first?”
-Kek! Sue, it’s suffocating!
“Oh, I’m sorry. “I’m so happy to see you, so stop.”
Jifael smiles shyly but never loosens his embrace.
Then she asked, tilting her head.
“papaw. What’s going on? Why are you so sad? Did any of the measuring officers harass you? “Will my sister scold me?”
―Oh, no. Something like that.
“Then what’s wrong? Tell me. hurry.”
―Well, that’s… … .
Popo stammered and explained the situation. Ziphael, who had been listening to the story with a mutter, chuckled and tapped his nose with his finger.
“Our Popo is so naive, that’s the problem.”
-yes?
“Think about it. “If you’re such a great person, wouldn’t you have already taken the ‘test’?”
-Well, that’s right.
“Then our Popo would have recognized us at a glance. But how was it?”
―Si, there was no trace of a test being taken. So, I thought it was no big deal and just… … .
“Then isn’t it strange?”
―This is strange. thinking about it… … .
What the great senior said was right.
If he was that great of a person, he would have been able to pass the test.
Why didn’t I hit it?
No matter how much I thought about it, there was nothing good about not taking the test.
then.
Could it be that I didn’t hit it?
‘So, you’re saying he’s not that great of a person?’
Popo’s eyes widened as he came to a great realization!
“Hmm. It’s fascinating. I didn’t take the test, but I came with a companion. “They sponsored the right to change jobs?”
-yes. It was clear that it was sponsored.
“Give me the documents.”
―Woah, here it is.
[‘Re-examination’ subject]
[Seo Ye-rim]
[Race: Human]
[Observation Dimension: Area 10/Earth]
[Level: 411]
“… … District 10? “Isn’t this the area where the lowest dimensions gather?”
-yes that’s right. So I was very surprised. There wouldn’t be much of a way to get achievement points there… … So I thought it was something really great.
Ziphael was lost in thought.
‘Then is the man next to you a human from a higher dimension?’
Humans live together in various dimensions.
At higher levels, it would be easier to obtain achievement points, so it wouldn’t be surprising if there were people who sponsored the right to change jobs.
As you travel through the areas of each dimension, you may be able to see and interact with interesting beings.
The only thing that is puzzling is.
The fact was that the being who wandered around the dimension and sponsored so much treasure had never even taken a test. I’m sure he would have been a very successful person.
‘It doesn’t make sense. Could it be that he is ‘that’ human?’
Curiosity bloomed in Ziphael’s heart.
“So, you want me to help you?”
―Well, I don’t think he’s a very great person… … Now that I think about it, I think it might not work… … .
Ziphael chuckled when he saw Popo wiggling his fingers.
“no. Still, if that person gets irritated, it could make things difficult for Popo. “Let’s go with my sister.”
―Yes, yes!
“hand.”
Popo held out his hand as a conditioned reflex. Ziphael’s new form, holding his hand, suddenly disappeared.
* * *
Suddenly, a female angel came out holding the teddy bear’s hand.
It was literally like that.
angel.
Just by looking at it, it looked like it would do well. One senior seemed to have gotten it right.
Soon the angel began to look in this direction.
at that time.
Popo said, waving his free hand wildly.
-you! How dare you fool the teddy bear people? Even though he wasn’t that great of a person!
“What did you lie about?”
-huh? So, uh, that’s… … What did you lie about?
It was then.
The angel who had narrowed his eyes suddenly smiled brightly and said.
“Nice to meet you. It is called Ziphael. “I’m Popo’s senior here.”
“This is Minwoo Kim. But are you really an angel?”
“yes. Are you by any chance an inhabitant of the same planet as that woman?”
“you’re right.”
“What level is it by any chance?”
“It’s 151.”
“Hmm… … .”
Immediately afterwards, Ziphael spoke with a grin.
“I heard that my junior was rude. “As a senior, I apologize on your behalf.”
“Just with words?”
“I don’t think you have taken the test yet. Would you like to take it?”
test?
“What is the good of doing it?”
“First of all, you can get differential rewards depending on the level of difficulty.”
“Is this the life-threatening kind?”
“I’m not dying. There are no aftereffects. instead… … If you fail, you will no longer be able to try. “It’s a one-time ticket.”
“If I succeed, I can keep trying?”
“If you want?”
“Let’s do it.”
It is said that there is no death and no aftereffects.
Isn’t it at the level of a fool not to do this?
It’s not that I don’t want to raise my level and challenge myself when it’s advantageous.
‘I might never come here again.’
There was a discount on the job change ticket, and when I used it, it came with it.
What if you tried to come in at regular price?
This means you need 23,000 achievement points. Maybe it was luck that would never come again.
So do it now.
It was then.
-Stop, senior! How can you assign a test to a person who doesn’t even have a certificate!
“are you okay. “I have one thing left.”
-Yeah, that’s right! That’s very precious… … .
“Shh. Popo, what did your sister tell you to do when you were at work?”
-Tell me to keep my mouth shut… … Breathe!
Popo held his breath and closed his mouth. Spinal cord reflex movements.
From the looks of it, it seemed like the result of a long period of learning.
“Yes, yes. Our Popo is nice. Well, Popo is also working. got it?”
Nod.
Soon after, Ziphael approached.
“Shall we go? “To the testing ground.”
I smiled and held the outstretched hand.
In an instant, Kim Min-woo and Jifael disappeared.
―… … .
“… … .”
The remaining teddy bear and the woman looked at each other.
Soon after.
-Well, then will we reexamine it?
“… … Please.”
In the awkward atmosphere, Popo began to move shakily.
* * *
[Enter the testing room.]
This time, an empty white space appeared.
“Take it.”
Ziphael handed over a diamond plaque.
[Diamond Sponsorship Certificate]
[Grade: Special]
[This is a sponsorship certificate that will give you special status if you have it.]
[Effect 1. When possessed, you can take a test at the ‘Testing Ground’.]
[Effect 2. The scope of the test is up to ‘diamonds’.]
Kim Min-woo tilted his head after seeing the contents.
“How are the grades divided?”
“Diamonds, platinum, gold, silver, bronze. The classification is as follows.”
“So this is a good thing?”
“It’s expensive.”
It’s expensive, but they give it away?
And that to the guy who put pressure on his junior?
At first, I thought he was making me take the exam to punish him for harassing his junior, but no matter how I looked at it, it seemed like that wasn’t the case.
Didn’t I tell you that Popo is also very valuable?
“Do you have a crush on me?”
“yes?”
Soon, Ziphael, who was tilting his head, drew a line in his eyes.
“You are a fun person. “Do you want to know why?”
“yes.”
“I want to stew some.”
“Steamed?”
Ziphael grinned.
“To put it simply, I thought your potential was high.”
“What are you looking at?”
“Just in many ways? Anyway, Minwoo Kim, you just need to remember this one thing. “This Ziphael has given you great support.”
“Is that really okay?”
“yes. I don’t have any more greed. “Please tell me later.”
“… … To whom?”
“Oh my, you don’t know yet?”
“… … ?”
“Well then, won’t we find out when the time comes? It’s a bit burdensome for me to say it. Good luck on your exam.”
Ziphael’s new form, which waved its hand, disappeared.
‘what?’
Listening to the angel, it seems like someone is watching this way.
It’s also something that an angel would feel burdened to even mention.
‘I’m sure it’s not like foreign news or anything.’
Foreign media and angels are close?
I can’t draw well.
Are they the same angel?
An angel of a higher rank than Ziphael. Then that kind of attitude didn’t make sense.
‘Anyway, I want to take a look at this.’
With that kind of attitude, it was good for this side and there was nothing bad about it.
Is there any reason to dislike it if they just give it to you? Rather, it is normal to eat it wholeheartedly.
“But how does it get activated?”
It was that moment.
[Checking eligibility… … .]
[I have a DIA sponsorship certificate.]
[Current level 151.]
[It is between level 100 and 200.]
[There is no record of taking the test.]
[The entry-level test begins.]
[Please select a level of difficulty.]
[Stage 1, Building]
[Level 2, Silver]
[Level 3, Gold]
[Level 4, Platinum]
[Stage 5, Diamond]
〈Tip 1. The difficulty you initially select is fixed as your maximum difficulty.〉
〈Tip 2. If you choose a difficulty level and fail, the same difficulty level will not be activated again.〉
〈Tip 3. Once you select a difficulty level, the test will be conducted at the same level of difficulty until you fail.〉
