Episode 163
Unfortunately, Yuk Cheol-wan was unable to get any advice regarding retaking the test.
Initially, when Cheon Hae-seon became a multi-talented person, he was exempted from the exam through negotiation with Baejeongdae.
Now I know the identity of the ‘Five Siders’, the group watching Cheon Hae-seon, but at that time, Cheon Hae-seon needed to be careful.
In the case of Chen, who uses a thunderbolt sword, he has the qualifications of a multi-talented person, but he said he did not specifically request a retake from the Taiwan Association.
It was for a somewhat absurd reason, ‘because it was annoying’.
In the end, I couldn’t get any advice about retaking the exam through ‘Irregular’.
In the first place, since there are only a few times a year when a hunter requests a retake, I felt like I was hitting the ground running.
‘Can I do it?’
My colleagues said it was completely possible, but as I waited in the exam room like this, tension began to creep in.
Yuk Cheol-wan held his trembling heart and gently closed his eyes.
‘It all started with the Clean Up Clan.’
A slim young man who came into the office five minutes before the opening and asked about the Poison Dungeon.
That was the first meeting between Yuk Cheol-wan and Cheon Hae-seon.
After that, the two diligently explored the poison dungeon, and Yuk Cheol-wan finally got the item he had dreamed of.
Geumyeonghwa (金永花).
The only cure that can save a wife from mental contamination.
‘Looking back, it was a ridiculous plan.’
I didn’t realize it until I got the gold medal.
The more precious the type of rare herb, the higher the difficulty of the dungeon.
It was natural for Yuk Cheol-wan, who had never even won a low-level bronze medal, let alone a gold medal, to not know.
What if Cheon Hae-seon didn’t come to the office that day?
Yuk Cheol-wan would have hung himself in an unlikely dungeon for the rest of his life.
And his spouse would never be able to return.
Cheon Hae-seon was his spouse’s lifesaver, and he was also his own benefactor.
‘That’s why we have to do more.’
On the day of the ranking match.
Cheon Hae-seon suffered a crushing blow, and Yuk Cheol-wan, who was receiving treatment at the time, was later able to confirm the scene through video.
That was quite a shock to Yuk Cheol-wan.
No matter how difficult the boss mob was, Cheon Hae-seon had never suffered such a crushing defeat.
From that day on, Yuk Cheol-wan trained himself harshly.
The biggest reason why he was able to force Bisu’s buff and finally make it his own.
It wasn’t a desire to become strong.
His strong desire to help his benefactor Cheon Hae-seon was the driving force behind his revolutionary development.
“Hunter Yuk Cheol-wan. Are you ready?”
At the call of the association employee, Yuk Cheol-wan opened his closed eyes.
“yes.”
“Please come this way.”
Yuk Cheol-wan followed the staff’s guidance and walked into the testing room.
Depending on the unique characteristics of the hunter, the structure of the test site varies greatly.
The type of Yukcheolwan was knight, and his detailed position was categorized as tanker.
Due to the nature of a tank, how much force it can withstand becomes the standard for measuring its tier.
“As requested, we have set the standard to ‘S’ tier. “If anything goes wrong with your body, please be sure to ask us to stop.”
“All right.”
Yuk Cheol-wan nodded, but the employee warned him once more, as if he was not trustworthy at all.
“As you know, the Hunter Association will not be held responsible if you force yourself to exert force during the test process and overload your body. Please do not forget that if you get physically injured or accidentally run out of control, you are solely responsible.”
“yes.”
If you hear compliments over and over again, your ears start to hurt.
If it were another hunter, he might have exploded in anger at the employee who gave an unnecessary warning message.
However, Yuk Cheol-wan maintained his composure and stood in the center of the testing room.
The same goes for reporters and all employees here.
All you have to do is show it in results.
[Please make them all shut up.]
The words my benefactor said yesterday flash through my memory.
Is it because of my mood that the stronger I get, the more eccentric my personality becomes?
Despite the signal to start the exam, a subtle smile appeared on Yuk Cheol-wan’s lips.
* * *
“Are you here?”
Team leader Kwon Ik-hyeon arrived at the supervisor’s office and asked his subordinate.
“yes. Im here.”
“hmm. “You really came.”
I thought maybe I would just stare and do a pants run.
This is because there were more cases than expected of people canceling before applying to retake the exam because they thought they would not pass.
It is so difficult to overcome the tier you were born with.
But in the end, Yuk Cheolwan came here, and now it was time to pay the price.
“What was the ether level?”
“that is… … .”
After hesitating for a moment, the employee opened his mouth with difficulty.

“Six thousand… … no see.”
“what??”
Team leader Kwon Ik-hyun was so surprised that he had no choice but to ask again.
“Six thousand… … “Only six thousand?”
“yes… … .”
“Isn’t that a total idiot?”
Team leader Kwon Ik-hyeon had his own reasons for going on a rampage.
Until now, all hunters classified as ‘S’ rankers had ether levels that far exceeded fifty thousand.
In the case of Cheon Hae-seon, judgment was withheld because measurement was not possible even after reaching 100,000.
A hunter’s level is determined by the amount of ether they have.
The number of six thousand was a number that was no improvement at all compared to the ‘B’ rank that Yuk Cheol-wan currently holds.
“What kind of S-rank test are you planning to take with ether like this? “Did you plan to run over the wall and rummage through it?”
Still, I thought there would be some degree of belief in it.
Yuk Cheol-wan seemed to be a much more reckless man than he thought.
“How old were you before that bastard? “There will be data from the first time you take the test.”
“Five thousand… … “It was.”
“her! “You have achieved great growth!”
A lot of sarcasm came out from between Kwon Ik-hyeon’s hollow cheeks.
The fact that ether has increased by a thousand means that we have put in some effort.
However, considering that the test taker’s goal was to be S-tier, it could not help but be considered nonsense.
“Wouldn’t it be better to stop the test now?”
“… … “Just leave it alone.”
“yes?”
“Whether your body gets destroyed or not, you brought it on yourself. “Leave it alone.”
“… … All right.”
If you get injured during the test and crawl away, reporters like hyenas will come running to eat your flesh.
The flaws in Yuk Cheol-wan are also the flaws in The Irregular.
For Kwon Ik-hyun, who is secretly on the same team as Glory Guild, this test may be an opportunity.
“Start.”
Following Kwon Ik-hyeon’s instructions, a subordinate pressed the test start button.
Jiyiing.
The pitch-black wall standing to the left and right of Yukcheolwan slowly begins to approach.
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary wall, but the ingredients that make up the wall were anything but ordinary.
A 4-star monster that Cheon Hae-seon encountered while riding a train the other day.
This wall was made by reprocessing the bones of Taurus.
Yukcheolwan was also a material classified as the highest level in terms of durability, enough to use the horn handed over from Cheon Hae-seon as a weapon.
The sight of a wall made of such a hard material slowly approaching from left and right made even the boldest hunter swallow his saliva.
“… … .”
However, today’s test taker, Yuk Cheol-wan, stared at the approaching wall without the slightest hesitation.
Then he slowly spread his feet left and right.
“Whoa… … .”
Yuk Cheol-wan took a deep breath and stretched out his hand towards the approaching wall, soon coming into contact with a large wall.
-Let’s start the test. If you feel like you can’t hold out any longer, ask them to stop.
A loud noise rang out from both walls along with the usual comment before the test.
Giiiiiiing.
First, from ‘E’ rank.
This level of strength was slightly stronger than that of an average adult.
I was able to endure this much without using the dagger’s buff.
Giiiing.
The pressure on the wall becomes stronger.
The tanker test is conducted gradually in this way, as the test taker may die unexpectedly if the test is pushed too hard all at once.
Giiiing.
‘D’ rank, ‘C’ rank, ‘B’ rank.
Kiyiing.
And now the power of the ‘A’ rank has come upon Yuk Cheolwan.
“… … !”
I could tell even if the intensity wasn’t displayed on the screen.
From now on, it will be difficult to rely solely on one’s own strength.
Yuk Cheol-wan exercised extreme concentration and activated the ‘buff’ within his body.
A powerful stranger who entered his body.
Now Yuk Cheol-wan has become a completely like-minded relationship with a stranger named ‘Buff’.
Giiiing.
“… … ?”
Kwon Ik-hyeon, who was crossing his arms in a crooked posture, tilts his head.
The sound is loud, but the wall is not moving at all.
Even if I passed to A rank, I should have passed it a long time ago.
Rather than turning into a rat, Yuk Cheol-wan’s body was still in the same posture as before.
Could it be that they are proceeding slowly out of fear of Yuk Cheol-wan getting hurt?
Team leader Kwon Ik-hyeon scolded his subordinate who was operating the machine.
“Are you sure you’re doing it right?”
“Well, the machine is operating normally.”
Why are you suddenly limping?
I didn’t even swear.
Kwon Ik-hyeon asked in a blunt voice as he thought about that.
“What level are you currently in?”
“already… … We have entered the S rank stage.”
Kwon Ik-hyun was so shocked by the employee’s answer that he almost fainted.
“what??????”
“I really am. If you look here… … .”
The pressure of the tester was displayed in a graph where the subordinate pointed with his hand. Surprisingly, the graph had already surpassed the S-rank entry level.
Yuk Cheol-wan has surpassed it.
The huge door called S Rank.
“What nonsense is this… … !!”
The reason the subordinate stuttered was not because of Ik-Hyeon Kwon.
Because something happened that he thought was completely understandable.
‘An ‘S’ rank hunter with an ether level of 6000?’
It’s been over 10 years since I joined the Hunter Association, but this was truly something I had never heard of.
If you go out on the street and say, ‘There is an S-rank hunter with an ether level of 6000’, let alone the people in the association, everyone will treat you like a crazy person.
How should we understand the current situation?
The subordinate stared at Yuk Cheolwan blankly, forgetting to operate the testing machine.
However, that was not the only surprise.
Giiiing.
Machine and meatball.
The power struggle between them begins to reach its peak.
Now, thick tendons were sticking out from Yuk Cheol-wan’s temples, and thick drops of sweat were dripping down his chin.
“Hmm!”
Yuk Cheol-wan sensed that his physical limit was not far away.
It’s not particularly weak in stamina, but if you remain in the buff state for a long time, your stamina will drop rapidly.
‘Should we stop testing? or not… … .’
After hesitating for a moment, a spark suddenly flew out of Yuk Cheol-wan’s eyes.
Giiiing.
Chiik… … .
A small discordant sound began to mix with the loud noise made by the machine.
However, the two men, who were surprised by Yuk Cheol-wan’s mighty power, did not notice the change.
Can’t career be ignored?
Of the two men who had lost their minds, the one who came to his senses first was Team Leader Kwon Ik-hyeon.
Chiik… … .
“what is this sound?”
Ik-Hyeon Kwon checked the status of the machine here and there and then shouted hysterically.
“Stop the machine! “It’s going to break down like this!”
“yes? yes!!”
Kwon Ik-hyeon had to see it.
As if it wasn’t enough to withstand the power of the ‘S’ rank, there was also a scene where the wall was ‘pushed’ out.
‘Such a crazy bastard… … !’
If the wall is pushed backwards like this, a load is naturally placed on the tester machine.
The discordant sound that tickled my ears was the sound coming from that load.
Smoke appeared from somewhere and covered the inside of the test site.
-Test ends.
Fortunately, it’s not too late.
When the test was completed, the machine returned to its original position normally.
The smoke that briefly covered the interior quickly disappeared through the air circulation system.
“I… … What is that?”
Kwon Ik-hyeon couldn’t help but make a dumbfounded voice without realizing it.
Flashing.
A dazzlingly bright silver gauntlet was shining on Yukcheolwan’s right arm.
