I Became a Student at the Transcension Academy

Chapter 53



Chapter 53 - Hunter Mill Mock Test (4)

The fourth subject, the dungeon raid, was over, and the Hunter Mill Mock Test was also nearing its end.

And as expected.

< 4. Dungeon Raid >

[1st place] - Seojun Kim (standard score 100).

[#2] - Immigration rate (standard score 98).

[3rd place] - Kim Kang-cheol (standard score 95).

[4th place] - Lee Do-eun (standard score 94).

[5th place] - Jin Dong-min (standard score 93).

.

.

.

Seojun was also able to take first place in the dungeon raid.

However, it was not possible to widen the difference in scores as in the previous subjects.

Dungeon Raid was the most important quality for hunters beyond simple evaluation subjects, so it seemed like each of them had their own know-how.

I wonder if the level of the dungeon was higher.

The 6-star dungeon of augmented reality was just mediocre to those who were in the top ranks in Korea's three major academies.

Even so, Seo-joon did not miss first place, and now there is only one subject left.

It was none other than the ‘combat power (interpersonal)' subject.

And in fact, now the winner had to be Seojun.

The sum of the scores so far was as follows.

< Combined standard score >

[1st place] - Seojun Kim (400).

[#2] - Immigration rate (373).

[3rd place] - Kim Kang-cheol (359).

[4th place] - Jin Dong-min (353).

[5th place] - Lee Do-eun (352).

.

.

.

It was a whopping 27 points away from the second-ranked immigration rate.

that means this.

It seemed to mean that there was no reason for Seo-jun to come down from first place unless the difference in scores between Seo-joon and the immigration rate widened by more than 27 points in the last subject.

And for those things, Seo-jun gets disqualified or gives up.

Otherwise, there was only one thing to do but not take the subject itself.

But that didn't make sense, so Seo-jun's victory was almost certain.

Is that why?

“......Sheesh.”

Seo-joon could feel the bad eyes around him.

Of course, most of the gazes at Seo-jun contained emotions such as surprise, awe, or admiration.

But the top students.

So, the students who dreamed of being number one were receiving negative attention.

In particular, a student named Jin Dong-min from Gaon Academy.

Hard!

He was blatantly glaring at Seo-joon, showing a displeasure.

However, Seo-joon ignored Jin Dong-min.

“...Someone who isn't very hot comes out of nowhere.”

Then Jin Dong-min muttered something sarcastic, but Seo-jun only shrugged once.

‘It's bloody...'

I quietly avoided the seat.

Of course, it wasn't that Seo-joon wasn't in a bad mood.

Nevertheless, the reason he avoided it was because he knew that Jin Dong-min was deliberately trying to provoke Seo-joon.

If the fight between the students was severe, it could be disqualified, so Seo-joon did not respond to Jin Dong-min's provocation.

“Chit.”

Sure enough, when Seo-joon left, Jin Dong-min clicked his tongue and turned his head.

And Seo-joon could fully understand Jin Dong-min's feelings.

Who wants to compete in a competition where the winner is decided?

It was natural for her to be even more upset because she thought she would sit there.

However, the competition system was originally like this.

Survival of the fittest.

So Seo-joon's reaction came quite unexpectedly.

“what a waste!! I could have won this time!!”

One was Lee Min-yul, who shouted as if he was really sorry.

“......”

The other was Kim Kang-chul, who had a calm expression on his face as if nothing had happened.

In fact, it was Kim Kang-cheol rather than Jin Dong-min.

Lee Min-yul had to be jealous and jealous of Seo-joon more than Kim Kang-cheol.

However, the two of them didn't mind, only Lee Do-eun and Jin Dong-min were staring at Seo-joon as if they were going to kill him.

“I thought I was pretty fast too… how did you manage to do it so fast?”

Even Lee Min-yul was praising Seo-joon for being great.

Maybe that's why Seo-joon couldn't understand Lee Min-yul's inner thoughts.

To be honest, Seo-joon was suspicious of the immigration rate.

Looking at the facts, Seo-joon was a competitor who stood in the way of Min-yul.

And if Seojun wasn't there, the main character on this stage would have been none other than Lee Min-yul.

So, like Lee Do-eun or Jin Dong-min, did they openly show hostility?

It was a normal reaction to say nothing at all like Kim Kang-cheol.

“This is amazing!”

However, Min-yul praised Seo-joon's greatness with a simple smile.

Seojun looked at Minyul for a while and then slowly opened his mouth.

“That's not easy either.”

“Haha thank you. ah! More than that, you can also talk comfortably. It would be unfair if I only spoke inappropriately.”

“Well... if that's the case.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha! It's nice to be cool!”

Seo-joon looked at Min-yul's smiling face.

Then, suddenly, I asked Min-yul about the appearance of various weapons hanging on Min-yul’s back.

“By the way, I’ve been curious about it before… the weapons on the back. Are you going to use all of them?”

Then Minyul nodded and said.

“Oh this? that's right. I never learned from anyone, so I used this and that, so there was nothing to cover.”

“Who hasn’t taught you anything? You mean… self-taught?”

“If being a self-taught student means practicing alone… that’s right.”

Not only Seo-jun but also Kim Kang-chul, Lee Do-eun and Jin Dong-min were surprised by Min-yul's words.

That's also because the image of self-taught students as being people with no money and no talent was strong.

However, the Lee Min-yul that we see now was strong enough to beat Kim Kang-cheol, Jin Dong-min, and Lee Do-eun.

In a word, it means great talent.

“why? If it were you, the academy would try to take everyone, right?”

“Ah, because I don’t like being tied down somewhere. And in fact, there is a master. I do, but Master doesn't know I'm a disciple.”

“……?”

Seojun tilted his head involuntarily.

You have a master, but that master doesn't know you're a disciple?

“What are you talking about?”

“haha! There is something like that.”

However, Minyul laughed innocently and turned around.

“anyway! Let's do our best in the remaining subjects. I'm sure you won anyway... but that's because you're good at it.”

Minyul turned his back and left.

Seo-jun looked at Min-yul like that and smiled.

I couldn't tell what his ulterior motive was, but it was clear that he was a pleasant person.

So, Seo-joon pushed aside his thoughts about Min-yul and waited for the start of the final subject of the mock exam, combat ability (interpersonal).

Compared to other subjects, the preparation period was quite long, but Seo-joon waited patiently.

It probably took a little time because the method of evaluating combat power (person-to-person) was none other than sparring.

In the pro hunter test, an active S-class hunter belonging to the government directly evaluated the score of the subject through sparring.

The Hunter Mill Mock Test may not be that far, but it is still evaluated by former S-class hunters.

Because they were instructors at Hunter Mill Academy.

So Seo-joon was actually looking forward to the next subject the most.

It was because it was an opportunity to measure the difference between the pro hunter and myself, not the students.

‘I'm not on active duty... but I don't know where to go when I'm an S-class hunter.'

And if there are no other problems, Seo-joon wins after this test.

The time when I waited while soothing my trembling heart.

“Students.”

Finally, the official's voice resonated in the waiting room.

Seojun stood up from his seat.

However, the official's expression somehow did not look very good.

just as expected.

“That... I'm sorry, but something unexpected happened.”

The official spat out the words with a puzzled expression.

And right at that moment.

Swoop.

Kim Kang-cheol's eyes flashed.

#

Go back in time for a moment, when Seojun was winning the unrivaled number one.

Kim Kang-cheol was actually not conscious of Seo-joon.

To be precise, it would be an accurate expression to say that he did not touch it softly like Lee Do-eun or Jin Dong-min.

However, this did not mean that it was natural for Seo-joon to win first place.

I just thought it might be.

‘Kim Kang-chul. Please take part in the mock exams being held this time and keep an eye on Kim Seo-joon.'

Because Kim Kang-cheol had received a request from the Jinrihoe.

The Jinrihoe never pays attention to the gossipers.

The Jinrihoe did not pay much attention unless it was an exceptional person like Kim Kang-cheol himself.

He is also the organization that put an end to the cataclysm called the human catastrophe.

A global organization that is not limited to Korea.

What is it that is so unfortunate about such an organization that it pays attention even to idiots?

Therefore, if such a Jinrihoe were to the point of mentioning Kim Seo-joon, I could only think that there was something about Kim Seo-joon.

And Kim Kang-cheol raised his pride and said, ‘That can't be!' I wasn't stupid enough to say that.

So, even when Lee Do-eun and Jin Dong-min were shaking, Kim Kang-cheol just watched Kim Seo-joon without much agitation.

Sure enough, Kim Seo-joon had a reason to point out in the Jinrihoe.

overwhelming 1st place.

‘There is no need for Kim Kang-cheol to do anything. Just watch what Kim Seo-joon does.'

Kim Kang-cheol was hurt by his pride, but he did nothing as requested by Jinrihoe.

However, Kim Kang-cheol had no choice but to completely revise that idea.

No, to be precise, it was only now that I could properly grasp the meaning of Jinrihoe’s words.

‘There is no need for Kim Kang-cheol to do anything. Just watch what Kim Seo-joon does.'

This literally didn't mean that Kim Kang-cheol didn't have to do something.

“Those who have been appointed as test evaluators... have been unable to come due to unexpected circumstances.”

It just meant that the Jinrihoe would take care of it.

“What do you mean?”

At the embarrassing words of the official, Kim Kang-cheol blinked and demanded a detailed explanation.

“Ah, that's...”

Then the explanation of the person in charge continued.

It's a lengthy explanation, but here's a quick summary:

It is said that a dungeon break suddenly occurred while the instructors of the Hunter Mill, who were appointed as the evaluation officers of combat power (person-to-person), were on their way here.

It's a dungeon where the time hasn't been reached, but I wondered why the break occurred for a while.

The problem was that the dungeon was a 10-star dungeon.

The 10-star dungeon was a difficulty that could be attacked by a party of A-rank hunters or an S-rank hunter.

However, there was no way that A-class hunters' parties or S-class hunters were common.

Above all, if it was not dealt with immediately, it was obvious that serious human damage would occur.

The evaluators were not on active duty, but the S-class hunter's jjambab did not go anywhere because he retired.

As a result, the evaluators who were nearby had no choice but to step out directly.

“So you're in the middle of a battle right now... I just got a call saying that since the situation is urgent, I think I'll have to enter the dungeon and raid.”

“Then… how is the exam going?”

A question from someone soon after.

The official spoke immediately.

“I'm having an emergency meeting right now... I'm really sorry, but I think you'll have to wait a little longer for the results to come out.”

Exclamations erupted from all over the waiting room at the official's answer.

Maybe it was because the mock test could be stopped like this.

‘......What are you saying to me?'

So, Kang-cheol Kim had no choice but to fall into deep trouble.

Given the circumstances, it was clear that this incident was orchestrated by the Jinrihoe.

I don't know how that could be in a 10-star dungeon.

However, if it was Jinrihoe, it was possible enough.

However, the problem is that the mock test is in danger of being stopped due to the plot.

If that happens, it will end in vain with Kim Seo-joon winning.

Kim Kang-cheol could not think that the ending was the ending that Jinrihoe wanted even after spending so much effort.

‘They told me to just watch...'

So Kim Kang-cheol had no choice but to fall into deep trouble and slowly opened his mouth after a long time.

“How about changing the exam method?”

“How about the test?”

At the sudden words of Kim Kang-cheol, the official tilted his head and asked again.

Of course, if it was another student, he would have just ignored it, but Kim Kang-cheol was a promising player at Hunter Mill Academy.

Not only as a promising player, but as a top 3 player, his position was solid even within the Hunter Mill.

Of course, since he was still a student, Kim Kang-cheol's personal opinion could not sway the big things of the Hunter Mill.

But even so, Kim Kang-chul's opinion was not ignored.

“If you change it, how are you talking about it?”

Kim Kang-cheol immediately continued.

“Isn’t the remaining subject about interpersonal combat skills? I would like to make use of that purpose and proceed as a tournament among students.”

Some of the students nodded at Kang-Cheol Kim's words.

However, the official shook his head resolutely.

“It makes sense, but in reality, it seems difficult.”

It is also true that the students who took the Hunter Mill Mock Test were not only in the upper ranks.

It took too long to get all of them into the tournament, and there was not much time left.

Above all, if you proceeded in that way, there was no choice but to follow the problem with the scoring method.

“I'd rather invite other judges and wait...”

And Kim Kang-cheol continued right away as if he knew.

“Evaluators should be at least A-class hunters, but can we get such people right now? And above all, we can’t just wait like this.”

“No matter how hard it is to hold a tournament...”

“Then, how about holding it in the form of an event? It is a format in which only those who want to participate are invited to participate, not all students.”

“The event format?”

Kim Kang-cheol nodded and continued.

“Now this mock test is being broadcast live nationwide. Above all, there are spectators, associations and government officials who are waiting. Wouldn’t it look bad to interrupt the mock exam due to an accident?”

He said it around, but in the end, he was saying that if it ended like this, Hunter Mill's reputation as the top 3 academy could be damaged.

Words were already coming out due to delays in the series of tests.

Of course, it was all because of Kim Seo-joon, but from the perspective of people, it was only seen as insufficient preparation for the Hunter Mill.

So it was Kim Kang-cheol's suggestion how to turn the attention to something else and provide something to see.

and plus.

‘If I beat Seojun Kim there...'

Of course, it was a simple event match, so it had nothing to do with mock test scores.

In any case, Kim Seo-joon's victory in the mock exam is certain.

However, the story changed when Kim Kang-cheol beat Kim Seo-joon in an event tournament match.

Kim Seo-joon is the winner, but Kim Kang-chul is recognized by people as a student who beat Kim Seo-joon.

All the fame that Kim Seo-joon saw earlier goes back to Kim Kang-cheol.

Even if you lose the championship, you take the fame.

This was Kim Kang-cheol's real purpose.

After saying that, Kim Kang-chul slowly looked around.

And did he realize Kim Kang-cheol's intention?

“I think it’s a good idea.”

Lee Do-eun agreed.

“That is a very good idea.”

Jin Dong-min smiled viciously.

“haha! Would that be fun?”

Lee Min-yul nodded his head as if he was having fun.

and.

‘Kim Seo-joon. How will you come out?'

Kangcheol Kim glanced at Seojun.

And from Kim Kang-cheol to Lee Do-eun, Jin Dong-min, and Lee Min-yul, everyone looked at Seo-joon.

‘Hmm...'

Meanwhile, Seo-joon was deep in thought.

First of all, the official said that the dungeon exploded even though it was not time.

Through the conversation with the swordsman last time, Seo-jun knew that it was one of the two representative phenomena of dungeon distortion.

But that was something Seo-joon couldn't do right now, so he quickly brushed off his thoughts.

And the second was Kim Kang-cheol's suggestion.

Seo-joon, like the others, was guessing at Kim Kang-chul's intentions.

When Seo-joon looked around slowly, he was able to face the gazes pouring down on him.

In fact, it was enough for Seo-joon not to participate.

Anyway, since it was an event match and only those who wished to participate, there was no reason for Seo-jun, who had already won, to participate.

Then, Kim Kang-chul's goal will also be in vain.

But Seo-joon was literally the winner.

The winner who went out with an overwhelming score.

If Seo-jun didn't participate, the appearance reflected by people wasn't very good.

Most importantly, Seo-joon didn't think he was going to lose.

Either way, it's a situation where it's right for Seo-joon to participate.

That's why Seo-joon ended up like this.

“In a way, it's an extra test...if you win, you'll bet on an extra prize.”

I decided to increase the asari plate more.
