Chapter 52 – Hunter Mill Mock Test (3)
After that, the test had to be stopped for a while.
Even if he wanted to take the test, he couldn’t take the test because the mana shield generator was broken.
Because of that, the test was suspended for a while, and unlike the expectation that it would resume soon, the test was delayed considerably.
It seemed that he hadn’t prepared a spare, probably because he hadn’t even thought that it would break.
Nonetheless, mock exams resumed.
<3. Mana utilization>
[1st place] – Seojun Kim (standard score of 100).
[#2] – Immigration rate (standard score 90).
[3rd place] – Lee Do-eun (standard score 85).
[4th place] – Kim Kang-cheol (standard score 83).
[5th place] – Jin Dong-min (standard score 82).
.

.
The third subject, Mana Utilization, was finished like this.
“Now… what the hell is going on?”
And it was only then that those who watched began to recognize the seriousness of the situation.
Of course, there were people I knew before, but there were more people who wanted to.
But now that the third subject is over.
“Nonsense.”
“Who the hell is Seojun Kim?”
Now, regardless of you, people were whispering the name Kim Seo-joon.
And Seoyoon also didn’t think much different from them.
Of course, if Seo-yoon had seen Seo-joon in the meantime, it was a fully expected result.
But that’s ‘Seojun-ssi, you could win first place.’ it was about
It didn’t mean that I would lead by such an overwhelming margin.
“My God… hunter mill, ale, and gaon are pushed back?”
It also beats all of Korea’s three major academies, Hunter Mill, Ale, and Gaon.
“for a moment. I, Seojun Kim, a student. Aren’t you the student who solved the dungeon distortion case a month ago?”
“Dungeon Distortion…? Oh, right! The student who caught 6-star Nercu by himself.”
“Somehow… that student’s academy was probably… the dream academy?”
Thanks to such Seojun, the name of Dream Academy became known as well.
However, Seoyoon, who was already struggling with the instructor problem, did not know how to accept this.
“By the way… If this is the case, there’s no point in taking mock exams.”
And the voices of the people who came back.
Seoyoon unconsciously nodded.
That would be the case, and if one person overwhelmingly performed in this way, the mock test had to be considered virtually worthless.
The reason for this was that the mock test’s score evaluation method was a relative evaluation based on the first place.
To put it simply, even if it’s the same rating of 50, if the first place gets a rating of 200, it’s 25.
It was a way that if a rating of 100 is evaluated as a 50.
Therefore, when the first place gave away an overwhelming score like this, the score became meaningless.
At first glance, it seemed like a problem, but even so, the reason this wasn’t a big problem was because everyone was stubborn.
No matter how high a student is, there is bound to be another high rank that threatens that student.
Somehow, a league of only the top ranks was formed, and I looked through the past mock exams.
Considering that the difference in points between 1st and 2nd place was at most 3 points, I could see it right away.
However, what Kim Seo-joon sees now has gone far beyond the upper ranks.
Top ranks above top ranks. It was literally out of the blue.
If this was the case with the upper ranks, the middle and lower ranks had nothing to say.
And in fact…
The biggest problem was different.
“Um… the level of students is not easy. I think we need to readjust the difficulty of this year’s Pro Hunter exam.”
“I will arrange a meeting with the president of the association soon.”
It was that the government was re-adjusting the difficulty of the Pro Hunter exam.
The Hunter Mill Mock Test was a test watched not only by students but also by the government and associations.
A test that is also used as an index to judge the level of students and determine the difficulty level of the pro hunter test for that year.
That’s why no one knows what direction this pro hunter test will go.
And all these things are Kim Seo-joon.
It was spreading because of only one person, so I couldn’t help but say it.
“No, let’s leave Kim Seo-joon like that. What is the immigration rate?”
In that sense, attention was naturally focused on the students who were chasing Seo-joon.
Of course, it was true that the score was lower than Seo-jun, but he was the only participant following Seo-jun.
In addition, it means that he is a tremendously talented person just by beating Hunter Mill, Ale, and Gaon to take second place, but not a single name is known.
“I don’t know. When I found out, I didn’t even have an academy.”
“You don’t have an affiliated academy? Does that make sense?”
“I think I am a self-taught student. Occasionally, among the self-taught students, there are exceptional figures.”
self-taught students.
It literally refers to students who study on their own without attending an academy.

However, even if you don’t have money, if you have talent, the academy will give you a scholarship to bring you, so even the talent is not very special.
In a word, self-taught students had a strong image of ‘a person who wants to become a hunter even though he has no talent and no money’.
But occasionally.
Indeed, from time to time, among the self-taught students, there were exceptional figures.
And it was common for such people to not go to the academy for some reason.
“I can’t help it because Kim Seo-joon has an academy he belongs to, but Lee Min-ryul will try to recruit him by offering a huge scholarship from another academy.”
“Maybe that was the purpose of participating. Looking at the style, I think it’s Hunter Mill or Gaon. Well, if you have that level of skill, you’ll do well wherever you go.”
“That’s true, but… I really am. I never thought Kim Kang-cheol would be pushed this far. Already at the Hunter Mill mock test.”
“That’s right. Ale and Gaon are the same, but the Hunter Meal will lose a lot of shape this time. Could it be that the Hunter Mill won’t do anything behind the scenes?”
“Huntermill has a name value. Could it be?”
Then the conversation stopped for a moment, then it came back again.
“If I knew it would be like this, I should have sent Lee Ha-yoon, not Kim Kang-cheol.”
“Ah, will you let Lee Ha-yoon out of the Hunter Mill? Looking at it, he was very determined and was raising it to the level of the final weapon.”
“Then, besides Lee Ha-yoon, are there other students at Hunter Mill who will be dealing with Kim Seo-joon?”
“……but. Even if Lee Ha-yoon came out, I wouldn’t have been able to guarantee it. Wow… Looking at it this way, Seojun Kim is really amazing.”
Seoyoon focused her eyes on the display board again after the conversation with the people who were moving away.

Seo-joon sat in the waiting room and prepared for the fourth subject.
And that subject is none other than a dungeon raid.
It was literally raiding a dungeon, and in a way, it could be said to be the most important evaluation item in becoming a pro hunter.
And how could it be considered synonymous with the second subject, combat ability (monsters).
In fact, there was an argument to abolish one of the two subjects.
However, the dungeon raid was a subject that evaluated the sense of using the ever-changing terrain, not simply fighting against monsters.
The dungeon raid subject is a little more comprehensive and comprehensive element, so it is a little different from the simple combat power evaluation.
Anyway, while Seo-joon was preparing for the next exam, he sat in the waiting room and took a break.
And at the same time, he replayed what had just happened.
The spear of Longinus that split the mana shield generator without any resistance.
“I never thought this would turn out like this…”
Seo-joon looked down at the spear of Longinus.
The Holy Spear, which is said to have pierced Jesus while he was hanging on the cross.
Judging from the handed down story alone, it was certain that it had an unusual function.
“The problem is to be able to know exactly what that function is.”
That would be the case, and what Seo-joon can know is a story that has been handed down.
That was all.
So when you just split your mana shield generator in half.
Does that mean that the spear of Longinus has the power to ignore the mana shield?
Or was it a simple difference in rank?
Seo-joon didn’t know at all.
And this bastard’s transcendent academy was just a picture and a name, as if it was like saying if you want to live, don’t buy it.
Therefore, it was impossible to know any other information, so there was no choice but to learn where the limit was and what effect it had.
Of course, there is no change in the fact that performance is good, but isn’t it possible to use it properly when you know exactly what that good is?
“Hmm… let’s buy another weapon and do a comparative experiment.”
This is how Seojun came up with this.
Buy a weapon similar to the Spear of Longinus.
And hit with the same power targeting the same mana shield as before.
If the mana shield is not broken, the effect of Longinus’ spear will ignore the mana shield.
If it was pierced, it could be assumed that it was pressed by the difference in rank of the transcendental equipment.
And not just the mana shield, but other things as well.
“Hmm…”
However, it wasn’t an easy decision to make because the causality kept going up every time I bought equipment at the transcendent shop.
Most of all, it was not an easy decision in many ways because I had to choose a secondary weapon rather than a main weapon because I had the Longinus spear.
Seojun shook his head vigorously.
“For now, let’s focus on mock exams.”
In any case, whether it’s buying a secondary weapon or whatever you do, you need money.
In order to do that, Seo-joon had to win the mock test.
Seo-joon thought about this and that while waiting for the next subject, the dungeon raid, to begin.
But that was just then.
“If growing older means getting used to the world properly for the sake of this one body’s peace~♬ I will never grow up~♪”
A humming song was heard from somewhere.
No, not at the level of humming, but at the level of singing out of excitement.
Seojun turned his head in the direction of the song, wanting to do something.
And I could see a pretty familiar face there.
“Only love and faith firmly closed…”
Rather than a familiar face, it was more accurate to say that it was a face he had seen once.
The owner of an ordinary impression that can be seen anywhere with the same atmosphere as a rural youth.
And the reason why I felt familiar with Seo-joon despite his normal face was that he had all sorts of weapons hanging on his back.
A very free-spirited young man.
It was the strange person who had quarreled with the officials in the aisle for the first time.
“For the sake of our friends, shining each other until the end… Huh?”
The young man who was singing happily stopped the song for a moment, perhaps feeling Seo-jun’s gaze.
Then, he started to walk towards Seo-joon in strides.
“nice to meet you! Are you Seojun Kim?”
He greeted Seo-joon warmly.
Seojun tilted his head and asked.
“Do you know me?”
“know! Why don’t you know the super star of this mock test!”
At the compliment that was not the compliment of the young man, Seo-joon smiled slightly.
Then, when Seo-jun made an expression of ‘Who…’, the young man shouted as if he had forgotten.
“Oh. I call it the immigration rate.”
immigration rate?
Seo-joon repeated the name and was able to identify it immediately.
“ah! You are currently number two.”
“that’s right. By the way… it’s quite a strange feeling to hear that you’re number 2 from the number 1?”
Contrary to what he said, however, Minyul giggled, and Seojun looked at Minyul with slightly raised eyes.
“No no, there is nothing to be so wary of. I just came here because I was curious about what kind of person he was.”
Then, Min-yul spread his hands out and waved his hands, then suddenly, as if realizing, he shouted again.
“ah! Could it be that I’m talking half-heartedly? If that’s the case, I’m sorry! I look like my age, so I stop without even realizing it…”
At the same time, Minyul made a sullen expression.
Seo-joon smiled and laughed at Min-yul’s appearance.
Like Min-yul said, it wasn’t that he had any particular feelings of resentment, but his personality itself seemed to be like that.
“Dungeon raid starts soon! Everyone, please finish your preparations!”
The call of the officials at that moment.
“Looks like the exam is about to begin! Then let’s do well in this test!”
Minyul smiled innocently and left.

In the Dungeon Raid subject, the dungeon to be raided was none other than the 6-star Nercura Dungeon.
The 6-star monster Nercura that Seojun encountered in the last dungeon clearing contest.
Considering that the participants were students, it was a difficulty setting that might have gone crazy.
However, it was only dungeons and monsters implemented in augmented reality, and those monsters had to be viewed one or two levels lower than in reality.
Therefore, in terms of actual difficulty, it was correct to see it as a 4-star Nercura dungeon.
Of course, even considering that, the difficulty wasn’t low, but it wasn’t too difficult either.
“But it must be Nerculus.”
Seo-joon pushed himself into the dungeon, laughing at the unknown relationship.
Whoops.
What I saw through my reversing view was a meadow that was neither wide nor narrow.
A landscape that can hardly be thought of as a space realized by augmented reality.
“Kwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
Moreover, considering Nercula’s screams, he could believe that it was just reality.
When Seo-jun slowly raised his gaze and looked straight ahead, Nercula was roaring at Seo-jun.
Huge body up to 15m tall and a huge horn hanging from its forehead.
It was as if a demon had transformed into a gigantic beast.
Afterwards, Nercula, who had been hiding here and there, began to gather, noticing the roar of his own people.
“Kwoaaaaaaaa!!”
“Kwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
The screams, like screams that attracted thousands of demon souls, seemed to be mixed with anger and hatred, as well as joy and joy.
“Whoa!”
Seo-joon took a deep breath as he faced the dizzying scream.
The most important factor in evaluating dungeon raids was none other than the raid time.
Evaluating your skills by seeing how quickly you raid a dungeon.
And the remaining subjects were two subjects in total.
Besides, when this subject is over, there is only one last subject left.
As long as there were no major problems, Seojun’s victory was almost certain.
Seojun tightly wrapped his grip on Longinus’s spear.
It is estimated that there are about 10 Nerculas.
Looking back at the last dungeon clearing contest, it was true that Seo-joon was overbearing even with a Nercula.
However, the Nercura in front of me was not a real Nercura, but an augmented reality Nercura.
Unlike then, Seo-jun had completed Hang-woo’s lecture.
Above all, the current Seojun had the Longinus spear.
tadak.
As Seo-joon stepped forward, he swung the spear of Longinus wide.
squeak.
Then, without any resistance, one Nercura collapsed.
But that’s for a while.
“Kwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
Enraged at the death of their own people, the Nercula group began to rush at Seo-jun all at once.
Waves of Nercula attacking from all sides.
As if death was about to strike, Seo-joon gnawed his teeth and expanded his senses.
And a fierce battle ensued.
bang! Kwak!
Cucumber! Awesome!
Like a lion running through a herd of goats, Seo-jun moved through the Nercula herd.
‘It’s different from back then.’
And it was only then that Seo-joon was able to properly realize himself as he had grown.
Of course, since it was a monster implemented in augmented reality, there was a big difference from the real Nercula.
Awesome!
But even taking that into consideration, Seo-joon could definitely feel his own level, which was different from that time.
“Kwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Just three months ago, Seo-joon was really nothing.
Just a normal person who is busy living day by day, to be precise, desperate to survive.
It wasn’t a year or two years, but even Seo-joon from just three months ago.
However, after becoming a student at the Transcendent Academy and meeting Seo-yoon, Seo-joon’s life began to change.
It wasn’t that I wanted to be conceited.
Even so, maybe Seojun. really maybe
Although the journey to the transcendent was still long and difficult.
thud!
“Whoa…!”
Wouldn’t it be a distant future to become the best hunter in the world?
[1st place] – Seojun Kim (standard score of 100).
I suddenly had a thought.
