Episode 390
“Hey. Yoo Sung-jin. Your group member has appeared for this pro qualification exam.”
Zaun’s disguised office hidden somewhere in Seoul.
Yoo Seong-jin, who had been concentrating on mana exercises for a while, opened his eyes at Baek Eun-seong’s words.
“… … hmm? Cho Won? “Isn’t the pro test only evaluating personal skills?”
“… … This guy who is about to take the exam doesn’t know anything. Of course there is. individual
“Because it tests not only skills, but also cooperation and other things.”
Baek Eun-seong clicked his tongue and lifted the documents in his hand.
“Okay, come and get the documents.”
Yoo Seong-jin received the document from Baek Eun-seong and opened it.
As he said, the document contained a list of participants for this professional wizard exam and divided them into groups.
“Let’s see… I’m in Group C.”
“Do you know anyone in Jo-won?”
“Acquaintance? wait.”
Yoo Seong-jin’s gaze, which was looking through the list, stopped at one place.
“There is. “Yara.”
“Yuara? Oh, that friend of Seojun Lee who uses fire magic?”
“huh.”
Baek Eun-seong, who was thinking about something for a moment, chuckled.
“Are you okay? I heard that Yuara has a difficult personality.”
“It doesn’t matter because I have a temper too. And isn’t Yuara’s skills pretty good?”
“… … The potential is truly enormous.”
There’s a reason he’s called the next genius after Lee Seo-jun.
And Yoo Seong-jin looked down at the documents and smiled with satisfaction.
I liked being in the same group as Yuara.
The skills I saw in the basic ability evaluation test were quite impressive, and the appearance I saw from afar was secretly similar to my ideal type.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
“… … What? “That look?”
Baek Eun-seong narrowed his eyes after seeing the corners of his mouth rise.
“What? What’s wrong with my expression?”
“You can’t believe it… … “Ugh.”
Baek Eun-seong shook his head.
“Yuara. She has such bad feelings towards us. She’d probably flip out if she found out you were related to us.”
“Huh? Why?”
“She’s the daughter of the prestigious Yu family. “It’s natural for people to turn a blind eye when their families were killed by us.”
… … The daughter of the prestigious Yu family?
Wait, he was the fire witch’s younger brother?
“Wow. I didn’t know that.”
But it doesn’t really matter. It’s okay to keep the fact that it’s related to Jaun a secret.
Yoo Seong-jin thought about that and looked through the documents again.
In fact, there was someone else who worried him the most during this exam.
Originally there was only one person, but after what happened in the basic exam, there were two people.
They are Lee Seo-jun and Kim Sun-woo.
Which group do these people belong to?
His gaze, which had been scanning the list, stopped at one place.
“Group D… …
“Group D?”
“Lee Seo-jun and Kim Sun-woo are in the same group D.”
Baek Eun-seong looked surprised at those words.
“and. Are they the same group? “This test might be quite difficult for you, right?”
“What are you talking about? Passing is 100% possible.”
Even though I said that, I couldn’t help but feel nervous.
Maybe there will be a situation where I have to deal with both Lee Seo-jun and Kim Sun-woo at the same time.
The only silver lining is that Yuara is in the same group.
If so, then there is a chance of winning.
Yoo Seong-jin jumped up from his seat.
“I’ll go out for a bit.”
“Where are you going?”
“Practice and research to prepare for professional exams
russia.”
In that instant, Yoo Seong-jin left the office, and Baek Eun-seong was left alone.
Baek Eun-seong, who was feeling embarrassed for no reason, scratched his head and then lifted the communication tool.
“… … Hmm. When will the others come?”
The other members are currently working for their own purposes.
Information gathering, resource management, fourth journal, necromancy…etc.
Only you are left alone in the hideout
It serves as a guard dog.
Just then, an alarm went off on his communication device.

Baek Eun-seong hurriedly turned on the magic tool.
—Ah, can you all hear?
The owner of the voice was Jin, who went in search of ingredients for necromancy.
Next, I started hearing answers from other colleagues.
-uh. I can hear.
-me too.
Baek Eun-seong looked at the magic tool’s speaker and waited for Jin to continue speaking.
—First, I’ve gathered all the materials for the necromancy. Let’s all gather at the meeting place this weekend.
In the evening after all regular classes are over.
I was eating at the student cafeteria with Lee Seo-jun and his group.
Today’s menu is ramen.
It wasn’t the instant food that everyone thought it was, but a high-quality dish made with each noodle individually pulled out.
“after.”
Blow on the hot noodles in small pieces and eat them in one bite.
The soup, which was moderately spicy but also tangy, went down my throat.
Wow. That’s really cool.
At that moment, I raised my head when I felt the gaze from across the room.
Hayoung Yoon, who ordered ramen with me, was looking at me blankly.
“why?”
“Huh? No. You look so happy eating.”
“… … Is that so? Eat quickly too. “This is delicious.”
“yes. “That’s how it should be.”
Yoon Ha-young smiled faintly.
So he tries to start eating again
Then, quite by chance, the image of Yoo Ra sitting next to him caught my eye.
She was looking down at her smart student notebook with her eyes lost in thought.
I felt something unusual, so I asked without realizing it.
“What’s going on?”
“yes? Oh no. Nothing.”
Yuara quickly shook her head in surprise.
Nope. Just looking at it, it looks like something is going on.
But what’s going on?
Even thinking about the original, I don’t have any concerns at this point.
“Tell me what it is.”
“no. “I’m just worried about something related to the exam.”
“… … Well, that’s fine then.”
There were still a lot of questions, but since he said it wasn’t him, I decided to move on for now.
Then, he put the ramen back in his mouth and activated the outsider’s benefit.
At the same time, a notification window pops up in front of you.
I was surprised.
[Points held: 276,000]
276,000 points.
Considering that it was only recently that I purchased the Moon Guardian that cost me all my points, the points have been accumulating incredibly quickly.
I think he owes a lot to his involvement in major incidents and his active participation in the Taehwije.
I guess I’ll have to find a way to expend my points soon.
Naturally, my interest lies in the characteristics and skills of the SS rank.
Otherwise, the item wouldn’t be bad either.
It won’t be a pure increase in my ability, but it will be more efficient.
First of all, I think I should save it because I don’t know when or what situation might arise.
Since the day of ‘clearing up karma’ is approaching, I had to make a plan according to the situation.
Additionally, 400,000 points are required to purchase SS-level abilities.
You still have to work hard to save up.
“Kim Seonwoo.”
That time when I was alone with my thoughts.
I heard a voice calling me from the seat diagonally across from me.
When I turned my head, Lee Seo-jun, who had finished eating, was drinking a glass of water and looking at me.
“Would you like to practice and guess the sum for the group test of the professional exam?”
“What practice?”
Seojun Lee pays attention to the people around him.
Pida said.
“There are many ways. Like entering a mock tower or entering a mock dungeon.”
” ah.”
Practice in advance. It’s not that bad. If you show good performance, you will get points again.
When you say that, something suddenly comes to mind.
This is a dungeon on a small island off the coast of Incheon that I heard about on the news in a previous life.
The rewards from that dungeon were pretty salty
I remember it as .
If it were us from last year, we wouldn’t have been able to conquer it, but with the skills of me and Lee Seo-jun, who are nearing graduation, it’s definitely possible.
“then. “I know a good place to practice, how about this Friday?”
Time flies fast. It’s Friday after school.
I entered a hidden dungeon on an island in Incheon with Lee Seo-jun.
It didn’t take long to find it.
This was because I remembered the exact location, and also because I could see the place where the flow of magical energy was distorted through the help of an outsider.
[You have entered the ‘Shelter of the Dead’.]
[You will receive 3,000 points as a reward.]
“It’s been a while since we’ve been in a dungeon alone.”
“Yeah. It’s been almost a year. Anyway, it’s really creepy here.”
Lee Seo-jun looked around and muttered absentmindedly.
Like most dungeons, this one is shrouded in pitch darkness, making it impossible to see anything.
I manifested a magic sphere and illuminated the surroundings.
“Then shall we go?”
We slowly entered the dungeon.
The dungeon’s theme was ‘Shelter for the Dead’, and as its name suggests, it had a gloomy atmosphere.
The monsters that appear are mainly skeletons such as skeleton soldiers and skeleton wizards, and zombies, a type of undead.
Naturally, they were weak to the light attribute, so they had no choice but to be helpless against Lee Seo-jun’s sword.
“… … It’s much easier than I thought.”
We arrived at the center of the dungeon before we knew it.
It’s a class A dungeon, so it’s going to be quite difficult.
I thought it would be easy, but it’s so easy that I’m actually confused.
No, it wasn’t that the dungeon was weak.
Lee Seo-jun grew and became stronger in a short period of time.
At this rate, I wonder if it will reach S rank much faster than the original.
Seojun Lee must have sensed my gaze and turned his gaze towards me.
“What? Why are you looking at me like that?”
“… … No, I felt like you had grown again in the meantime.”
Lee Seo-jun snickered at my words.
“I recently had a small epiphany.”
Enlightenment. As expected, for an SSS grade genius, the growth rate makes no sense.
Part of me feels envious.
Even if I added up all the points I’ve collected so far, it wouldn’t have exceeded 1 million points.
I shook off those random thoughts and said.
“Let’s go. It’s going to get trickier from now on. Be careful.”
“Yeah. That’s right.”
So we walked back into the dungeon.
There were no strong monsters, so there were no problems, but the traps that appeared from time to time made exploring the dungeon quite annoying.
However, because there were benefits to being an outsider, it was not a major obstacle.
As we dismantled the traps one by one, we arrived at the last part of the dungeon, the ‘boss room’.
“Whew! Finally, the boss’s room.”
We made eye contact and opened the door.
all.
Sigh.
The door opened and a figure wearing black cloaks appeared beyond.
[The demonic energy of death is distracting your mind.]
[You faced the S-rank boss, the ‘Death Eater’.]
The boss monster’s appearance, as its name suggests, resembles a ‘reaper’.
He was covered in a black hood, his face was not visible, and his legs were not visible either, so he was floating in the air like a ghost.
And in his hand was a huge scythe.
I glared at the guy and then said to Lee Seo-jun.
“It’s an S-rank. Be careful.”
Because of his status as Kim Sun-woo, he cannot use all his powers, but if he is with Lee Seo-jun, he can easily deal with him.
The messenger turned his gaze towards me and Seojun Lee.
[…] … It has been a long time since the living visited his dead body.]
A creepy voice.
Lee Seo-jun filled the So Baek-cheon he was holding with magical power of light. At the same time, the strong magical power of light stretched out like a lightsaber.
I also have to do the best I can, so I focused my magic on the palm of my hand and compressed it.
“let’s go!”
With a short scream, Lee Seo-jun’s entire body was enveloped in light and leaped forward.
At the same time, the darkness in the boss’ room suddenly brightened and Lee Seo-jun appeared right in front of the god of death.
[…] …
The reaper quickly swung his sickle. However, Lee Seo-jun flexibly dodged the attack and swung his sword towards the guy’s waist.
Whoa!
However, the Shinigami’s appearance became transparent like a ghost and his sword swung in the air.
When the attack he felt was successful missed, Seojun Lee looked embarrassed.
“damage!”
Then the giant scythe was swung again towards Lee Seo-jun’s neck.
I immediately release a magic sphere
The scythe was deflected.
Kaaaaang!
[…] … Pfft!]
The Shinigami quickly stepped back.
Lee Seo-jun glared at the messenger with a tense expression and then spoke to me.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I survived.”
“Focus. It’s the ability to become transparent.”
Seojun Lee touched his wrist.
you said
“… … This is tricky. How should someone with the ability to turn invisible attack?”
I don’t know about that either.
The ability to become invisible was never mentioned in the original work, or even in the military academy.
But there was a hint from the brief battle just now.
“You couldn’t dodge my attack when that guy attacked you just now.”
I definitely saw it.
When the guy tries to attack, my magic
After being hit, my body tilted significantly.
“… … So you’re saying I should aim for the moment when the guy attacks?”
“maybe.”
He said that and smiled slightly.
“Then you know what to do now without me telling you, right?”
“……yes?”
Seojun Lee blinked blankly at my words.
“As a reinforcement wizard, you should step up and act as bait.’’
After a battle with the Shinigami that lasted about 40 minutes, we were able to emerge victorious.
To take advantage of the brief gap in the grim reaper’s attack, I released a magic sphere at the guy at the exact moment when Lee Seo-jun was being attacked.
It wasn’t easy at first, but as time went on, my accuracy improved.
[… … Ugh!]
The hood covering the body of the reaper began to have holes in it due to my magic.
A skeletal hand holding a scythe was visible, but the body seemed to be missing, leaving only an empty darkness in the hole created in the robe.
“Damage properly!”
Whoa!
The scythe of the Grim Reaper swings wildly once again
The attack fell and Seojun Lee narrowly avoided the attack.
There was a small cut on his shoulder, but it wasn’t a serious injury.
And my magic, released at that exact moment, passed right through the center of the Grim Reaper’s chest.
Phew!
At the same time, black smoke billowed out from the Shinigami’s body as if blood was bursting out.
It has been moving quickly so far.
The messenger stopped all actions.
[… … Ugh. I admit my defeat.]
The voice of a Shinigami who has lost all will to fight is different from before.
Like a person dying while bleeding, the guy was dying while spraying black magic into the air.
Lee Seo-jun, sensing victory, put down So Baek-cheon for a moment and approached me.
“… … “I barely won.”
“Okay. Is your injury okay?”
“uh. “It’s about this much.”
Lee Seo-jun wiped the blood from the wound on his shoulder and smiled.
[I see the death of all mortals… … .]
At the sudden words of the messenger of death, I turned my gaze back to the guy.
“… … He also talks a lot until the end
yes.”
“Because it’s a characteristic of boss monsters.”
Lee Seo-jun sniffled. And we listened to the messenger’s next words.
In any case, the ‘will’ of a dungeon boss contains a lot of information.
[You young mortals… … It seems to me that the deaths of you two are not that far away… … Always beware of death… … .]
The messenger who spoke those meaningful words disappeared from my sight.
At those words, Lee Seo-jun and I shut our mouths.
Our death is not far away.
I felt like I knew what the messenger was trying to say.
When I turned my head to look at Lee Seo-jun, his expression had become quite serious.
Perhaps he too is very concerned about death.
“Lee Seojun?”
Seojun Lee reacted in surprise to my call.
“Oh, huh? Huh?”
The joy of victory disappeared in an instant and the atmosphere became awkward in an instant.
I said, scratching the ball.
“… … Let’s go check on the compensation.”
The extra who returned becomes a genius
Fantasy, games, bing, munchkin,
