Chapter 16

There was silence in the waiting room.

The people in shock and horror were unable to speak out. Something incomprehensible kept happening.

“Why, why didn’t you sign a contract?”

“No, I got stronger without being behind it in the first place… I don’t need to sign a contract…”

People’s questioning eyes turned to Park Si-joon. But he was just breathing quietly.

“Ha ha…”

Hye-yoon Kim approached her with a sigh.

She looked back and forth in her arms with a look on her face as if she was in trouble.

“That, Park Si-jun trainee?”

She took something out and handed it to Park Si-jun. It was a business card inlaid with ornate gold leaf.

The name of Kim Hye-yoon and the names of the guild and Yeokcheon were engraved on the business card.

“Congratulations on winning first place. It was a great skill. I couldn’t believe there was no backstory.”

“Thank you.”

I’m raising my words, but somehow it’s awkward.

If it is Kim Hye-yoon, she is very famous in the world of players and is one of the top players.

She is such a person, so it might feel awkward for her to raise her words to her juniors for a long time.

“Take it easy. I’m fine.”

“Oh, is that okay? It’s because I was trying to treat myself with respect that didn’t even suit me.”

Kim Hye-yoon smiled happily.

Contrary to her mature appearance, it was a childlike smile.

“Then can I ask you one thing? Are you really not behind the scenes?”

“Yes, no. You saw it a while ago. The masterminds refusing a contract.”

“Yeah, I saw that too… No, why the hell are you doing that? There are so many benefits to signing a contract with Bae Huo-seong.”

Park Si-jun laughed bitterly. don’t you know that

However, if you have to choose between the two, the background and the reading, it is much better to choose the tom reading.

At least he thought so.

“…No. There will be more contract opportunities, so think about it seriously. I think the background character won’t let you go?”

“I’ll seriously think about it.”

“okay.”

Kim Hye-yoon scratched the back of her head.

“Were the chatting a bit long? To get to the point, I want to have a serious conversation with you as a scout of the inverse. Before the other guys salivate.”

Her eyes scanned the surroundings.

In fact, scouts from other guilds were hovering around Park Si-joon like hyenas.

“And if possible, I’d like to know how you became stronger.”

Kim Hye-yoon’s eyes lit up.

The player cannot act without the backing of the background. It has been an unbroken rule since the Cataclysm.

However, Si-Jun Park was an exception to that rule.

“So, make sure to join our guild…”

“You don’t have to go.”

“Oh shit.”

Do-won Lee interrupted the conversation.

Gong Ah-young, who was behind him, smiled and greeted him lightly.

“The inverted river is so large that it cannot provide intensive care for each individual. On the other hand, Nemesis is different.”

“Hey, you… can’t you shut up?”

“Why? Did I say something wrong?”

“Where am I supposed to break the business, you bastard!”

Kim Hye-yoon, whose face turned red, growled.

In fact, it is a complaint that is coming out from within Yeokcheon. Complaints about lack of meticulous care because there are too many guild members.

“It was an outstanding performance, Park Si-jun. I’ve been keeping an eye on it for a long time, but I think this is the first time we’ve met in person.”

“Oh, yes. Nice to meet you.”

Lee Do-won handed a business card and shook hands.

There was a fishy smile on his skinny, sharp-looking face.

To be honest, I wasn’t the type of guy I liked.

“I think it’s too early to make an offer to join the training camp, but I can’t stand it any longer because I’m watching your performances.”

“It’s an honor. That, the back…”

Park Si-jun glanced at Lee Do-won’s back. Lee Min-ah stood with her head bowed.

“… ね.”

The strangely twinkling eyes between the scattered hair was staring at Park Si-joon.

“I’ll cancel what you said was cowardly.”

“What?”

“I learned a lot. I lost this time, but next time… it won’t be like this.”

Lee Min-ah left behind only those words.

Park Si-joon tilts her head.

Gong Ah-young laughed bitterly.

“You look like you’re about to die from disintegration. I think I’ll probably bother you for a while to fight you…”

“Heh, where is the cowardice or not in a fight? If you win, it’s over. That guy is too straight. Breaking it up this time will be a good experience.”

“Then I’m glad.”

Gong Ah-young and Lee Do-won started talking about Lee Min-ah.

“Wow, damn Nemesis bastards… So, trainee Park Si-jun, are you thinking of joining the guild right now?”

Kim Hye-yoon asked carefully.

Park Si-jun looked at Nemesis and Yeok-cheon’s business cards.

Who would have imagined that he would receive an offer from two guilds?

It’s a pleasure. However.

“No. I appreciate both of your suggestions, but I don’t want to worry about the guild yet.”



There was something more delightful than that.

“Right now, I want to feel this feeling a little more.”

A feeling of satisfaction that permeates the whole body.

Park Si-joon quietly closed his eyes.

I just wanted to.

After the player license exam, the second half of the training camp began.

Nothing had really changed. It was all about taking classes, getting training and doing that as before.

“Now that you’re all players, you need to know more about the Abyss. The Abyss…”

The difference is that we are now teaching the Abyss in earnest, and that the number of trainees has greatly decreased. And.

“Wow, look at the video views.”

“It’s been less than a week since I posted, but it’s 20 million.”

It is said that Park Si-joon has gained unexpected popularity.

The eyes of the trainees, who were frowning over their smartphones, turned to him.

‘Damn.’

Park Si-jun sighed.

I don’t know why, but his performances at the training camp were posted on an internet video platform.

It went up on the real-time soaring ranking, and it literally hit the jackpot.

‘Whoever posted this?’

Park Si-joon checked the video.

The first thing that came out was his appearance, winning first place in the written test. Seeing his own face with the expression on his face reminded me of it, I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

– Wow, you got first place in the written test?

– It’s crazy, that’s terribly difficult. I passed the chin-up.

-Look at Han Joong-hyun’s face. Trying to stay calm.

– Your hair looks great.

In the video, Park Si-jun, who was excited, and Han Jung-hyun, whose face was hardened, were shown alternately.

‘Why do you keep showing this to the intersection?’

The next thing that came out was Park Si-jun searching the artificial dungeon.

He seemed to detect the presence of enemies and deal with them using stealth, sneak attack, and magic.

-Have you signed a temporary contract with Phalaenopsis?

-Nope. He has no background. Potential F grade.

-How do you use traits when you don’t have a background?

– The kids who signed a contract with Hojap-dong were outraged.

Park Si-joon tapped the screen twice with a confused expression to quickly flip through the video.

The final scene is joint.

“And you too, I’ll catch you.”

“Write…”

Park Si-joon was at a loss for words at the caption that appeared.

Hearing those words in an emotionally high state, now that I hear them, I can’t shrivel up like that.

– Wow, you use the plum sword technique? What kind of temporary contractor do you support even the B-grade characteristics? It is large after examination.

– But what’s so ordinary about his swordsmanship?

-Isn’t it just fighting without traits?

-Is that normal? It’s just a swordsmanship practiced for practical purposes, except for all the pretentiousness. Are you blind, are you?

– No, compared to the plum blossom sword method, isn’t it a fact? Are you Park Si-Jun himself?

In the comments, there were fierce opinions about the fight between Park Si-joon and Lee Min-ah.

‘It’s normal, right?’

Park Si-jun admitted without hesitation. The back alley thugs are learning swordsmanship, so it’s only normal.

It is Gilcheon’s thousand years of training and experience that makes this unusual.

– You fight well, that one. is it a thing? It’s a different feeling from Han Joong-hyun and Lee Min-ah fighting.

-Oh. It’s funny to say something like this to a trainee, but it makes me feel like an expert. like our seniors.

– No, swordsmanship isn’t important right now. What is that? Is he using Dissolve, Blade Sharp and Chain Lightning together? The background is different.

– And I’m the only one who thinks it’s weird.

-If you look at the skills you use, it seems like you signed a contract with the swordsman, the phalaenopsis dream, the hunter of the valley, the owner of the infinite library, the magic essence, and these behind the scenes.

– But you didn’t sign a contract.

The comments were fiercely arguing with each other, but the more they did, the more confusing it became.

– What the hell is he doing?

In the end, that’s the only conclusion.

Park Si-Jun was an existence that could not be understood by the common sense of the player.

‘Whatever he is, he reads novels.’

Park Si-joon put on the ep with a sad expression.

‘Who the hell uploaded this damn video?’

It was not uploaded by the Players Association. Rather, I was anxious to find the person who uploaded this.

Then who uploaded it?

‘I don’t know who… … .’

Park Si-jun sighed and looked at the text message. There were countless offers from management.

-You have the qualities to become a Viewtube star. With our management… … .(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

-If you open a Viewtube channel, you will receive full support from the management level… …

-If you start a community broadcast, help… … .

Messages telling them to join hands with them and run Viewtube in earnest.

Park Si-Jun put on his smart phone while kicking his tongue.

“The masterminds appoint the strongest of the contracted ones, or whoever they like, as their executor.”

Classes were still in progress.

Unlike before, there were not many people in the classroom.

The people gathered here are the passing class.

Trainees who fail the exam will be re-trained until the next exam is held.

“Executors can handle most of the powers of the mastermind, and they act on behalf of the will of the mastermind. …Then, trainee Lee Minah. Answer my questions from now on.”

“Yes.”

Thanks to this, several classes were united, and Han Joong-hyun, Lee Min-ah, and Park Si-jun, who were in different classes, became the same class.

“……”

“……”

Lee Min-ah answered the question brilliantly, and she sat down.

She met her and her Park Si-jun’s eyes.

‘All. city. cheap. wow. Yo.’

She muttered her mouth as she spoke to her.

After the battle during the exam, she suggested that we fight again whenever we met.

‘There are many opponents to fight with, what should I do?’

Of course, there was no way Park Si-jun could accept it.

Even if not, they are fighting to the point of getting tired of repeating quests.

It was not a situation where I had enough free time to even fight with Lee Min-ah.

‘Han Joong-hyun… Are you with the gang today?’

She’s been locked out of her dorm for several days and has only recently started attending classes.

He seemed to have left a big wound on his heart for not taking first place in the exam.

‘It’s not for me to know.’

It didn’t seem that way, but he was surprisingly long.

“…Then today’s class ends here. Oh, you know there’s an Abyss practice next week, right? Make a group with like-minded people.”

The long class has finally come to an end.

Park Si-jun tried to get out of her, avoiding Lee Min-ah, who was striding over this way.

Then, Instructor Jung Soo-min caught him.

“Park Si-jun trainee, wait a minute. There are people who want to meet you.”

“Me?”

Lee Hae-chan nodded his head.

“You are the president of the association.”

Park Si-jun’s eyes widened.

The eyes of the trainees who were secretly listening to the story also grew bigger.
