The light from the artificial light source hanging from the high ceiling gradually dwindled, and darkness came into the jungle.

[The second test ends.]

The second test, which started around morning, finally came to an end.

“Is it over already?”

Wow, that’s a shame.

With the remaining magic power, I think I could have eliminated about 200 more people.

[Please move in the direction indicated by the artificial light source in the sky.]

As I walk along the light source that begins to emit intense light in the direction of the arrow, there is a long escalator heading upward.

It’s okay to move from the dorm to here, but I don’t think it’s possible to move the entire place back to the dorm.

Finally, the status is tallied on the electronic display board in the hall on the first floor.

“The number of successful applicants… , only 3,500 people?”

As the number of successful applicants was much lower than expected, the excitement around them grew even greater.

“A lot more people were eliminated than I thought.”

The condition for passing the second test, ‘Token Battle’, is to collect five tokens, one for each person.

This means that only one-fifth of the existing number of people can pass the test.

What does that mean?

It was a task prepared by the association to blatantly disqualify the test takers who had broken the record.

The figure predicted by the association is around 5,000 people, which is about one-fifth of 27,000 people, but the result is far less than that, only 3,000 people.

“That’s fun.”

The maximum number of people who can pass with 27,000 tokens is 5,400.

However, the fact that the test ended with only 3,000 successful candidates… .

“Hey, you bastards! “I have dozens of tokens!”

“Why on earth did you do that… !”

“I was eliminated because of you, you son of a bitch!”

Just like me, there are people who hunted applicants who exceeded the passing standards.

Just in time to see where the commotion was, a few people caught my eye who had an aura different from that of the test takers around them.

There were so many signs hanging on their chests that it was difficult to count them all with the naked eye.

This means that many test takers were rejected by their own hands.

Despite the criticism pouring in from around them, they paid no heed.

No, on the contrary, I got angry because I was angry.

“It’s really noisy. “You’re wrong to think it’s my fault you fell, you idiots.”

“If you want revenge, don’t flutter your snout and attack. “I will accept any amount.”

Everyone hesitates at the words he uttered with all his might.

Although the way he speaks is quite unlucky, it is not wrong.

It’s no one’s fault that the test takers who gathered around them and criticized them failed.

It just happened because I was weak.

It may sound cold, but this is no different from a predetermined outcome.

“Because 30,000 people flocked to a test that only selects 100 people, well… .”

The number of people who can obtain certification through the Hunter Qualification Exam is limited.

Only 100 people have to go through a narrow hole, but there are 30,000 people crowded in front of the hole.

Of course, competition is inevitable, right?

Even if they didn’t do that in the second test, it wouldn’t change anything for the people gathered around them.

I would have failed the third test if I had to pass the exam after fighting and fighting with each other.

It may sound cold, but it can’t be helped.

Because that’s the default in the hunter world.

When selecting people for jobs that require dealing with monsters, what could be more important than military force?

“Still, that kind of attitude isn’t good… .”

I’m starting to get worried about these arrogant guys.

There are a few things I’ve realized after living in this world for a long time, and one of them is that you should refrain as much as possible from actions that might offend others.

It is true that the test takers who were eliminated by them failed because they were weak.

However, just because they are weak now does not guarantee that they will be weak in the future.

Some people become stronger because their potential explodes later, while others may become stronger by whipping themselves by using the unfair events they experienced on days like today as nourishment.

Of course, the number will be very small, but I wonder if there is not one among the 2,000 people gathered there.

“You’re young, you’re young.”

Tsk tsk.

If you had handled it well and come out like me, you wouldn’t have to hold any grudges.

There are only five tokens left on my chest after having eliminated many times more people than them.

Where have all the signs gone?

Anyway, I gave it to those who would support me and my teammates in the next exam.

The targets I dropped were those that could cause harm to my teammates.

In addition, tokens were given to those whose risk level seemed to be 0 at a glance.

“Oh, there it is!”

A group of people run towards me with bright faces and bow their heads.

“Thank you so much, brother!”

“Thanks to you, I passed the test.”

“I will never forget this favor!”

This is the difference between those young guys and me.

They used useless tokens as decorations and earned all kinds of resentment, and I gave grace to so many people with those useless things.

Resentment and grace have one thing in common.

I don’t know when, but it will definitely come back.

Even if it is not someone who has taken a grudge or given a favor.

“what… , they will take care of it.”

Either grudges or grace.

Anything is a problem as long as you can handle it and take responsibility.

next day.

Like yesterday, the third test, which was held early in the morning, was none other than dungeon raiding.

The test ends with a randomly formed party of 5 people completing an artificial dungeon under the supervision of a supervisor.

Here, Kim Do-jin received back the favor he had given the day before.

“Ah, nice to see you again!”

“Nice to meet you, brother!”

Two of the four randomly matched members passed the test with the certificate given by Kim Do-jin the day before.

The biggest problem with hastily organized parties is that it is difficult to coordinate opinions, but that was no longer possible with Kim Do-jin’s party.

Because the people who gave him favor were supporting him reassuringly, an environment was created where the remaining two had no choice but to listen to Kim Do-jin.

Kim Do-jin’s party, which reached consensus faster than any other party, even completed the dungeon raid at the fastest speed and succeeded in receiving a certificate of passing from the supervisor who was with them.

“and… “Thank you for the bus, brother!”

“Oh my god, I can’t believe I’m going to the fourth exam… !”

Kim Do-jin hung out with them for a while, who were overjoyed, and then quietly left the place.

It was because I didn’t feel the need to get closer to them anymore.

‘I’m going to fail the next exam anyway, so whatever.’

The Hunter Qualification Test is a team-based exam where individual scores are consistently calculated.

And after the fourth test is completed, 100 people will be selected based on their scores.

The dungeon strategy a little while ago was almost like Kim Do-jin’s one-man show.

Because they were pushed back with overwhelming firepower, their presence is still at the level of mana.

Their passing meant that it was no different from passing like a bright apricot.

“Now I can just relax and look around.”

Kim Do-jin, who finished the dungeon attack at an overwhelming speed, sat down in a place where he could see the entrances to dozens of artificial dungeons at a glance and began to look around.

The second party left about an hour later.

Son Seo-yeon was included in it.

“Oh, Seoyeon is the second.”

In a way, it was a natural procedure.

Her skills were second to none among those gathered here.

Moreover, due to her nature of using both swords and magic, party management would have been much easier than other parties.

Afterwards, the parties that completed the attack appear one by one.

A party that embraces everyone after getting passed, a party that has a sad look on their face when some of them pass, a party that fights to the death after failing to complete the strategy, etc.

Lim Na-eun and Elena’s party was the second case.

Fortunately, the two people’s expressions didn’t look too bad because they were the only members of their party who passed, but they seemed to be as self-respecting as possible, as if trying to understand the feelings of the party members who failed.

When the 43rd party came out of the artificial dungeon, a minor accident occurred.

“Stop being so accusatory, you crazy bastard!”

Wow!

“Oops!”

Among Kim Do-jin’s team members, Shin Yu-jeong, who was the last to finish the attack, kept slashing the solar plexus of a party member who was wandering near her.

Violence between test takers is subject to strong sanctions.

However, the supervisor nearby only shook his head as if he knew what was coming and only reprimanded Shin Yu-jeong’s actions, but did not impose any particular sanctions.

Kim Do-jin frowned when he saw this.

“oh my god… Wow, how concentrated is it?”

In the supervisor’s view, this means that the man was too focused on Shin Yu-jeong.

Kim Do-jin, who was angry at the man who touched him for a moment, was having bad thoughts.

“Remember, candidate. The dungeon is not a meeting place. If you behave like this one more time, the supervisor will have the authority to disqualify you. Do you understand?”

“Ugh… “I’m sorry.”

The supervisor’s sharp criticism and warning to the man calmed Kim Do-jin’s anger.

“You’re lucky, kid.”

Kim Do-jin clicks his tongue in disappointment.

The supervisor won’t know.

Because of his actions now, a man’s sex life can continue safely.
