I Alone Going To The Tower

Chapter 13

attended the academy.

In the morning class on monster theory, I almost fell asleep the entire time, and only woke up around lunch time.

“…Hey, Kim Yoo-shin.”

Han Yun-jeong, who was walking next to me, frowned and spoke to me.

“What are you doing these days? The guy who used to be so vicious now snores in class at all?”

“…Did I even snore?”

“Yeah! Do you know how many times I woke up next to you?”

scratched his head.

It’s a bit disappointing. I’m not the snoring type, but the fatigue accumulated from clearing the ordeal seems to have exploded at once.

“I’m sorry. I haven’t slept well these days.”

“Hey, why can’t you sleep? What are you doing at night?”

Instead of answering, I smiled strangely. Han Yun-jeong flinched and stopped talking, then looked at him with contemptuous eyes.

“…Miss, it’s really dirty since morning.”

“You haven’t said anything yet?”

“Ah, shut up. You made me work hard in the morning, so you bought the rice?”

The two of us, entering the student cafeteria, ordered a proper menu and sat down at an empty seat.

“What did you do?”

“Is there anything to eat here other than pork cutlet?”

“Yes.”

She nodded her head and patted her shoulder as if tired. I sat down on the other side of the table and looked around.

The people spying on me in the restaurant turned their heads in surprise.

Why are you here?

At that moment, Han Yun-jeong sighed a little.

“I can feel your stock price rising these days. At the same time, I’m tired too.”

“What happened?”

“Don’t be fooled. The kids keep coming to me because of what happened in Mana Management class. What the secret is, how did you do it? I don’t know why you keep asking me, really.

good to know only know

“So you’re not curious about the secret?”

“not really.”

she replied bitterly.

“If you tell me, I won’t be able to follow you.”

uhm.

Han Yun-jung feels that her self-esteem has decreased significantly these days.

She was the one who congratulated me on my change more than anyone else, but it must be complicated for her to feel like her friend, who lived and lived together at the bottom of her, went up alone as her unique ability changed.

She quickly changed the topic before the atmosphere sagged.

“I have one more question for you.”

“What?”

“Isn’t it Jinbo-ra in first year?”

go ahead

When she heard that she was Potion Jose, she was the first person that came to mind.

She’s seen her status window before with her detective abilities, and she’s pretty impressive, and I can still remember it vividly. Her unique ability is expected to work well with her potion preparation.

After thinking for a moment, Yoon-jung Han clapped her hands.

“Ah! That first-year student in the student council! Why? Are you interested?”

“It’s just for personal business.”

it’s not fun After muttering, she leaned her back against her back.

“Actually, I only know the name. I don’t know the details because all I did was exchanged greetings a few times.”

“Then there is nothing I can do.”

“But he doesn’t have a good reputation among women.”

“……Why?”

Han Yun-jeong showed a strange smile.

“It’s a bit awkward to gossip about other people here. Find out the rest for yourself.”

* * *

After a simple meal at the student cafeteria, I and Han Yun-jeong broke up because they were in different classes.

I have some free time, so I’m walking with the thought of being stuck in the school library.

“Kim Yoo-shin!”

I ran into a guy calling my name.

The tall, mousse-coated pomade hairstyle was recognizable from a distance.

“Uh, is that an exaggeration?”

“You’re talking like an exaggeration. Am I your friend?”

Then we’re friends, we’re the same age.

The name of this naughty guy is Go Shin-wook. As the representative of the second-year students, everyone just calls me ‘Gaedae’.

I have two friends behind me like Suha. Well, I’m sorry, but I can’t remember the names of these guys.

“What.”

“…are you feeling a little sluggish these days?”

Go Shin-wook, who spat on the side of the road, came closer. I guess that’s the one that’s getting ripped off.

In fact, there is a reason why Go Shin-wook is so outspoken. This school was a little special.

“Because I’m busy, I say it’s a waste. Did you apply for the early graduation exam?”

“uh.”

“You speak boldly. What are you, and are you applying for that test?”

I did something and it was because of that.

I thought it would explode someday, but it’s faster than I expected.

“Do you know that everyone is eligible to participate?”

“Even so, it’s not a good test even if a low-level guy crawls into it! How did you apply for a topic that was in danger of failing rather than graduating?”

Early Graduation Exam.

Literally, it is an exam that allows you to pass all four years of the academy curriculum and receive a diploma and hunter’s license right away.

The content of the test is always set as ‘one-person competition’ There are only five candidates for admission.

For that reason, it has become customary to apply only to those with a certain level of recognition within the school, even for all students.

As long as face-to-face matches are the content of the test, there is little chance that ordinary students will get lucky.

“To be honest, what did you show at this school?”

Go Shin-wook said angrily.

“The second year Jinta, who has nothing to do with anything else, applied for the graduation exam, so the pressure is coming in from right above! I’m being scolded for not taking good care of the kids!”

“Are you still being beaten by seniors?”

When Go Shin-wook ran and ran to him, his friends behind him hurriedly tore it up and dried it. I made fun of you hard about your patience and what the soon-to-be-leaving guy would know. Then Shin-wook Ko swallowed his anger by pretending not to win.

… … This isn’t even a cheap sitcom. It’s annoying, so I’ll just go straight to the point.

“Cancel the exam when I say nice things. What kind of person is not qualified…”

“Then you can try it.”

“……What?”

“Check with your own eyes to see if you are qualified or not.”

Go Shin-wook’s eyes went red.

“Are you serious now?”

“Isn’t that kind of neat to each other?”

I pointed my finger at the gym building.

“Let’s try it.”

* * *

To be sure, the Hunter Academy I attend is one of the rarest educational establishments on the planet.

First of all, it smells dangerous from the fact that it is an educational facility built by the president of the Korea Hunter Association, who is called the best idiot on earth.

In fact, the purpose of its establishment is quite plausible.

In the early days of overlay, before the concept of a hunter was completely established, young men in their 20s who were not scouted by the guild claimed to be freelancers and did unreasonable monster hunting.

As the youth mortality rate became a social problem as a result, the president of the association established an academy to manage rookie players.

The academy provides training to become a professional hunter, as well as organizing a party with students and sending them on business trips to the dungeon. It is a concept close to the ‘Hunter’s Guild’ that combines education with school papers.

Well, it’s not bad here. But the problem is the academy’s school wind.

skill omnipotence.

Here, ‘skill’ is everything. Considering that the current student council president is a first-year student, he’s done talking.

Benefits and opportunities to participate in dungeons are differentially paid according to the skills of the students, and the treatment and discrimination based on their skills is too explicit.

There is even a system called ‘duel’ in the name of clarifying the skills between students.

Simply put, students can fight each other and take away all the privileges and positions of the other.

A system that blatantly encourages competition among students.

Of course, this system has caused many ills and controversies.

The reporters tried to make this issue an issue by forming negative public opinion, such as encouraging Hunter’s enlistment in a place where the name is an educational facility, or causing psychological deprivation of students with low grades… … .

Each time, the president of the Toray Association was blunt.

‘Why are you so upset about the school that I made with my own money?’

In an era when the hunter was the military power, the power of the association president was enough to drop even a flying bird.

After all, the academy’s insane system has been maintained to this day thanks to the stubborn persistence of that crazy human.

As a result, duels among students have become a part of a culture, and even guilds that want to hire people are paying attention to their duel records.

Shin-wook Ko and I also entered the gym to warm up for the very same duel.

There were more than ten sports-related facilities on the large site of the academy, all of which were places where duels were possible.

“Don’t be fussy later.”

Shin-wook Ko was wearing a mana suit and groaned.

“How do you fight with the ability to see the status window?”

“It’s just crazy.”

The subordinates also said a word at a time. I was ignoring all these bullshit and looking at Ko Shin-wook’s status window.

‘I have my own skills.’

A person who is in charge of the sophomore year at the academy of all-round talent. He could be said to be a high-level player, at least in his second year.

So, if you just beat this guy, you’re almost done with the second year… … .

“Hey, Kim Yoo-shin.”

Go Shin-wook, wearing all the mana suits, approached.

“I’m going to bet all my privileges and spawns, as well as the grand prize, in this duel. Shouldn’t you be betting on something too?”

“Yeah. What should I do?”

The corners of his lips rose.

“One day tomorrow. What’s the condition for not going to school?”

… … look at this guy

You must be aware that I’ve been truant lately.

“In fact, it’s a field expulsion.”

Go Shin-wook only muttered, but didn’t answer. Yeah, do whatever you want.

“I’m just going to be expelled from school neatly.”

“Hey hahaha! Why is this bastard like this all of a sudden? Have you really lived your life?”

Just then, a facility employee came to me rubbing my sleepy eyes.

“Then, have you reached an agreement?”

“Yeah.”

“Yep.”

Of course, violent things can happen when children fight, so a duel is effective only under the observation of the staff.

A large screen on the wall of the gym displayed our student ID photos and the durability of our mana suits.

The rules are simple. The first to reduce the durability of this suit to 0 wins.

“Both of you, keep some distance. Okay, stop there. You hear the rules of the match so boring, you know everything? It starts right away.”

An employee tampered with the signal. A buzzer sounded, signaling the start of the duel.

At the same time as the duel started, Go Shin-wook radiated the joy he was suppressing.

“Kyahaha! Now I can’t even take it out or beat it! I’ll make you regret it! Kim Yoo-shin!”

What he took out was a chakram-shaped weapon with an empty center.

I put it on my finger and started spinning it around, and the rotation started to accelerate.

hey hey hey hey!

As the rotation accelerated, a blade made of mana protruded from Chakram’s body. Now, even if his fingers were still, the weapon itself was spinning violently.

I stood there with my arms crossed and watched him.

‘Ah. Are you watching?’

-Yes, Top Master. I’m watching.

Ea’s calm voice echoed in her head.

She was quite reassured just to hear her voice. It feels like we’re fighting together, not alone.

‘It’s my first debut. Please analyze the opponent.’

-Okay. Player Shin-Wook Ko’s unique ability is rotation acceleration. In particular, it is a long-range attack style that adds rotation to a special weapon made by weaving Mitora’s tendons.

Hmmm, it’s a ranged attack style.

-Universal abilities that have been determined to be combatable, weapons made as a byproduct of monsters, and even the application of unique abilities through magic This is the most standard Hunter style that people say.

‘How should I deal with it?’

Her voice was interrupted for a moment, then heard again.

-question.

“Bye!”

Shin-wook Ko blew two high-speed rotating chakrams.

I checked the projectile’s direction and deployed the shield in the air.

Whoops! Tung!

The chakram that hit the shield bounced off easily and fell to the floor. Go Shin-wook, who was watching with his triumphant face, came out of his mouth.

– The expected win rate of the top week is 99%. No matter how you deal with it, it’s a win for the top leader, but it’s questionable whether you need to find a strategy.

… … haha. Was it like that?

“Bah, what did you just do!”

Go Shin-wook, who was bewildered, shouted.

“How did you stop it with your detection ability!”

“It’s not an ability, it’s magic.”

Perhaps he thought I was joking, Go Shin-wook’s face flushed red.

“And the technology you use.”

I pointed to the chakram, which was spinning helplessly, embedded in the floor.

“It looks like a threat, but have you prepared any measures for gloves?”

“……What?”

“The monsters you’re dealing with now will be cut down easily, but later on, when dealing with naturally strong monsters or things wearing armor, you’ll have a hard time. You’d better focus on your rotational power with the magical power to apply to the blade.”

“now……”

Go Shin-wook, enraged, spread his arms out like wings.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Who’s giving advice to whom!”

click! click! Each finger caught a small circular blade, and at the same time began to rotate.

“Get…!”

puck! puck!

My mana arrows, which flew off after casting long ago, were stuck in Ko Shin-wook’s thighs one by one. His expression contorted with pain, and the rotating circular sword fell to the floor.

“And above all else, the attack is too slow. Who’s waiting for it to spin around?”

“#$$#&^#%!”

Go Shin-wook was furious, even foaming at his mouth.

Well, I can understand this guy’s feelings. He’s a sophomore, and his opponent is Kim Yoo-shin, the inferior student who doesn’t mind being fired from the academy anytime. He must be as shocked as he looked down on me.

“I’m going to change your face somehow!”

Shin-wook Ko took out a medium-sized chakram, gave it a slight rotation, and sent it out at a fast tempo. Of course, the power dropped as much as the speed was, and it was blocked by my shield summoned into the air.

The same goes for subsequent attacks.

Go Shin-wook gasped for breath and poured an offensive, but the chakrams could not penetrate my shield and just piled up on the floor.

‘The second year opponents are easy now.’

It wasn’t long before he had a nightmare cube.

I was trying to block the mana arrows flying from all directions aiming for my life, and trying to block such an obvious and slow projectile was almost yawning.

When I pretended to be really yawning, his face went red as if it was going to explode. He’s a guy worth teasing.

“Kim Yoo Shi Lee Lee In!”

The guy finally pulled out his secret weapon. He blocked his front with a disk large enough to cover his body, and started to spin.

“Shinwook-ah! Behind! Behind!”

At the words of his friends, Go Shin-wook quickly turned his head back.

Taking a moment to blind myself like an idiot, I was quickly digging into his side.

The guy who was grinding his teeth suddenly threw away the disc and jumped at me. A handful of magical energy swirled like a whirlpool from his grasp.

“Do you think you can beat me in close combat?”

puck!

My mana arrows, fired from the air, got stuck in his heels. Gently digging into the gap of Shin-wook Ko, who had lost his center, I raised a fist with gauntlet magic.

“You talk too much.”

Enjoying the look on his face, a mixture of surprise and fear, he stretched out his right arm.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Blue sparks bounced in all directions. His ugly face was crushed like a can, and he was thrown to the floor with the force he had pushed.

woo woo woo!

A loud crash rang through the gym.

“Huh…”

“Shinwook-ah!”

Go Shin-wook stretched out as it was, and his friends ran out in a fuss. Then I heard Ea’s voice.

-warning. When using magic against non-monsters, more careful power control is required.

… … That’s it. I thought I had my own strength control, but the power is no joke.

As I clenched and opened my fists, I turned my head to look at the facility staff.

Shin-wook Ko and me, who had fallen, looked at me alternately, and finally checked his suit gauge.

Kim Yoo-shin : 1,000/1,000

Shin-Wook Ko : 0/1,000

“The match is over! The winner is Kim Yoo-shin, a sophomore.”

It was a complete victory, needless to say.

“…aaaah!”

Meanwhile, Shin-wook Ko was lying on the floor and complaining of pain.

As I slowly approached him, he stepped backwards with a look as if he had seen a ghost. I squatted in front of him and smiled.

“Then do you settle?”
