Ashmonk’s whole body trembled.

‘What the hell… is that bastard?’

The list of leading cadets has already been secured.

I knew that guy’s name was Lee Jun-woo.

However, the cadet of note is An Yu-min, who is with Jo Ah-rin.

As for Jo A-rin, I don’t have the confidence to calmly beat her one-on-one.

Even if you are a freshman representative, a cadet is just a cadet.

An Yu-min, who has not yet reached B-level hunter, can easily win.

Of course, middle class cadets like Lee Jun-woo were not interested.

And Ashmonk was hiding behind a nearby building.

There was no way he would be caught by a single cadet.

‘How did you find out? My stealth must have been perfect?’

Anyway, Ashmonk was assigned to patrol an area that wasn’t very important.

I cast an appropriate genjutsu on my patrol partner.

There was no need for her to be discovered secretly disappearing.

So I came here very leisurely.

Lee Jun-woo seems to have noticed her following.

Even though her divine spell to hide her presence is perfect.

It was ridiculous.

‘Why isn’t my body moving? why?’

To make matters worse.

It’s dangerous just to be caught hiding.

Now, just by making eye contact with Lee Jun-woo for a moment, I was feeling extreme fear.

‘It’s the same as back then… It doesn’t make sense.’

And this current sensation was not completely unfamiliar.

I happened to attend a Crimson Teeth executive meeting.

The executives are all high-level villains, far above A-level.

Of course, it wasn’t a place she could mess around with.

He was an Ash Monk who had very good management skills.

I was barely able to get into an assistant role, helping with errands and setting up meetings.

Of course, it’s a great opportunity to make connections with executives.

But Ashmonk immediately regretted that choice.

‘I never wanted to be in that situation again.’

Even if you don’t drink chaos, you can feel the madness from them.

That day, I felt afraid that I might die just by living.

Exactly, just like Lee Jun-woo now.

It’s definitely an illusion.

Still, it didn’t make sense for her to be scared by just one cadet.

So, I slowly peeked my head over the wall again and saw Lee Jun-woo.

“……”

At that moment, Lee Jun-woo moved his lips.

Because of the distance, I couldn’t hear what was said.

But it was a simple word, so I knew what it meant right away.

‘You want to live, you say?’

After saying that, Lee Jun-woo immediately turned around.

Ashmonk belatedly realized the meaning of those words.

I quickly hid behind the wall.

“Haa…haa…haa…”

And the tension was relieved and I sat down.

She wasn’t mistaken.

Lee Jun-woo was a monster.

‘I’m in big trouble. ‘Why didn’t I know that a guy like that existed?’

Ashmonk hurriedly used his powers.

She is a female black priestess with dark attributes.

So, I was able to freely stabilize my mental power with the power.

Naturally, his defense ability against mental attacks was also excellent.

How can she be as scared as she is now?

I wanted to leave this place right now and run away.

‘But I can’t.’

I have already reported today’s mission to my superiors.

Today, Jo Ah-rin enters the old campus with special powers.

Ashmonk’s mission was to spy on the old campus.

And if he gets the chance, he even kills the cadets after spying to create chaos.

‘If I run away now, my superiors may kill me.’

Crimson Teeth is an organization where subordinates who are not necessary are lightly purged.

So, if you run away without doing anything like this.

She will be killed by her superior, not by Lee Jun-woo.

‘shit!’

The tailing had to continue.

But you have already been warned.

You must not move carelessly.

‘okay. ‘Maybe it’s my imagination.’

It could be a bluff.

No, I wanted to believe that it would definitely happen.

Ashmonk did not step forward as much as possible.

For now, I decided to just observe Lee Jun-woo and his companions carefully.

But Ashmonk’s anxiety became reality.

***

The group was about to enter the old campus.

I looked back for a moment.

It is already dark night.

There was no sign of popularity after that.

‘With my current skills, it would be impossible to detect even if the villain is hiding.’

But it would be difficult if the villain was chasing us like this.

Theia’s board of directors gave Jo A-rin a map of the old campus.

The map is probably useless.

‘The old campus has already been turned into a dungeon a long time ago.’

Area closed due to an accident a long time ago.

So the real space and the dungeon were mixed together to become a magical world.

In the original, a quest was given in the middle.

‘It’s a mission to help Jo A-rin create a new map of the old campus.’

Of course, An Yu-min cannot accomplish that mission alone.

The strongest cadet.

And this quest is only possible with the help of Joarin, who has the witch’s eyes.

So, if the villain interferes with her unnecessarily.

It also interferes with my plans.

I looked behind me again.

Even if I can’t find the villain’s hiding place with my skills.

I have a cheat that works with the system.

[The effect of the hidden title Unknown is activated.]​

The effect of Unknown has been activated.

So even though I can’t see it in person.

It means that the villain is hiding somewhere in the back.

‘It’s possible to use it this way.’

[A fear debuff was applied to the villain Ashmonk.]​

As expected from the original, someone is following Jo Ah-rin.

He must be a villain hiding in the leading department.

I was sure because I checked the name.

I quietly opened my lips and chanted.

“Do you want to live?”

After saying that, he turned around as if nothing had happened.

Because the fear debuff has been applied.

The ranking has already become clear.

That alone will prevent villains from interfering with me and my group.

‘I’m so scared that it’s difficult to run away. ‘This should be enough.’

Ashmonk is a B-level villain.

If you decide to interfere, it becomes very annoying.

And the problem is that Ashmonk is simply a smokescreen.

Ashmonks are merely scouts and decoys.

I don’t know anything about Ashmonk either.

One more villain will appear without her knowledge.

‘A grade A villain.’

So, it is a fairly difficult quest.

You must quickly obtain a map of the old campus and use the terrain to survive against A-level villains.

But first, I applied a debuff to Ashmonk.

Depending on the situation, I might be able to use him as my minion.

“Everyone needs to be nervous from here on. Even if there is a map, it is a very heavily polluted area. You must never move carelessly.”

That’s what Jo A-rin warned.

At the same time, she cast a spell on everyone in the party.

Grrr-

Heat radiated from her.

“Because it is a fire attribute buff spell. It will be helpful to everyone.”

Just like those words, a shield of flames appeared on my body.

I also have fire attribute powers.

I was able to immediately tell how high-level the spell was that buff.

‘As expected, it’s amazing.’

For a moment, my experience level increased just by seeing the spell being activated.

[The experience level of the power ‘Burning Fire from Mana Heart’ increases.]

[The level experience of authority-dependent skills increases.]

A fire attribute power and the power of the wizard class.

So, just being in the same party as Jo Ah-rin, the most talented person in her field, was very beneficial to me.

‘Even considering the direction of future growth.’

Until now, I have been clearing quests using the Paladin power as my main class.

But there was no need to insist on that class.

I gained a very useful special ability called demonic power.

‘I like the ability to create synergy with demonic power.’

Among them, there is one magic that is the most intuitive and effective.

Evil Flame, a spell that explodes with demonic power in a high-speed compressed flame spell.

It was a spell that a warlock could use if the awakening level was at least 100 or higher, like Joarin’s.

‘My awakening level is only around 50.’

So, considering the increased difficulty level of reality.

As expected, it was right now to focus on researching and developing fire-related skills.

The original game system is that skills develop the more you use them.

And it was as expected.

The very moment we entered the old campus.

Jo A-rin was embarrassed.

“Wait a minute. The terrain is strange. The terrain is completely different from the map I received from the board of directors… so be careful!!”

A huge group of monsters surrounded the party.

There are more than 10 ogres.

That color was also unusual.

Although it is pitch black like the darkness attribute.

The surroundings were distorted as if light was being sucked into them.

It was definitely a chaos attribute monster, not a normal attribute.

“Chiit. Everyone be careful! I’ll take care of it!”

Jo Ah-rin came out without the slightest hesitation and blocked An Yu-min.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

Soon her magic wand was engulfed in flames.

A whirlpool of flame created in an instant.

The group of ogres that attacked the party were instantly reduced to ashes.

He is so strong that it is hard to believe he is a cadet.

However, even after using such an incredible fire spell, Jo A-rin was not surprised.

“Damn. I can’t even go out!”

And I burst out in anger.

Even the student council president couldn’t have predicted this situation.

A situation that even pushed the two juniors she was supposed to protect into the danger zone.

I spoke calmly while looking at her in confusion.

“Let’s move for now. Here is the old campus. It seems like it has become a dungeon.”

“Well, I was going to do that too! Ah, no, Junwoo Lee is right!”

Fortunately, Jo A-rin quickly regained her composure after hearing my words.

***

An Yu-min was quietly following the two people.

The old campus was unexpectedly turned into a dungeon.

It is also a dangerous dungeon where chaos attribute monsters appear.

‘Even if you can’t do it, it’s a level B or higher dungeon… no, it’s level B+ or higher.’

Chairman Jo Ah-rin also looked embarrassed for a moment.

Fortunately, the group quickly got over the panic.

It was because of Lee Jun-woo’s calm response.

Jo A-rin’s overwhelming firepower.

And I liked the chemistry between Lee Jun-woo and his calm judgment of the situation despite the unfamiliar terrain.

An Yu-min silently followed the instructions.

In this way, the three were able to understand part of the topography of the old campus that had been turned into a dungeon.

“Then, I will take a quick look around the surrounding terrain. The two are recovering their stamina for a while.”

After saying that, Jo A-rin got on the broom and flew up.

But An Yu-min was not very tired.

As always at Aegis.

Lee Jun-woo’s instructions were very stable and optimized as if he knew everything about Ahn Yu-min.

So only two people remained.

There was silence for a moment.

I glanced at Lee Jun-woo.

It doesn’t seem like he’s particularly displeased with her.

However, he didn’t seem to be particularly conscious of her.

And at that moment, An Yu-min came to his senses.

‘Like this… there will be almost no chance to be alone with Lee Jun-woo.’

So, I had to say something to Lee Jun-woo.

Even if he hates himself.

At that moment, their eyes met.
