episode_0160

At first, I thought he was just a lucky guy.

Lee Jun-woo’s growth pace at the beginning of his entrance into Theia.

I heard that such rapid growth is quite unexpected.

The cadets who stayed in the first awakening.

When you break that wall and enter the second awakening, your growth rate becomes steeper.

So, the way Yoon Geon-woo looked at Lee Jun-woo was exactly that.

Successfully achieved the second awakening of the fire attribute.

A cadet who stands out early on based on the firepower of his attribute skills.

To be honest, at Yoon Geon-woo’s level, he was a guy whose name you didn’t even need to remember.

Although Jeong Ji-yoon said that he was the guy who punched Song Si-ah in the face during the class assignment evaluation.

A half-vampire is a half defective product that is neither human nor vampire.

‘Well, Song Xia’s background is enough to make her suitable as my fiancée.’

Still, Song Si-ah, who is useless other than having a pretty face, was harmed.

There was no reason to think highly of someone like Lee Jun-woo.

‘But… at that midterm exam.’

However, something happened that made it necessary to revise that assessment.

A midterm exam in a realistic dungeon.

In that evaluation, Lee Jun-woo was completely successful in wasting time against himself.

I didn’t even look at him.

A lightning skill that could kill an ordinary cadet if hit directly.

Although I didn’t even adjust my strength for that special skill.

Lee Jun-woo caught that one miraculous timing and showed off his skills.

At that time, Yoon Geon-woo felt an extreme humiliation that he had never felt before in his life.

‘In front of a bug like Lim Jae-ho… such an embarrassment.’

Although Lim Jae-ho was his faithful hunting dog and subordinate.

He betrayed Yoon Geon-woo and became attached to Lee Jun-woo.

But that day, instead of taking care of Lim Jae-ho.

Even after a dispute, the MVP position was taken away.

From then on, Yoon Geon-woo began to be conscious of the name Lee Jun-woo.

“An electric attribute immunity monster appears ahead!”

“In that case, instead of Geon-woo, we should be the opponent…”

“Shut up!!”

And when I’m lost in thought for a moment.

A boss monster appeared on the track in front of me.

Shhh- Shhh-

A guy who lets out an ominous breathing sound.

Anyone can see that it is a high-ranking monster with a danger level of A or higher.

Moreover, if it is immune to electricity, it is an even more difficult monster for Yoon Geon-woo, who uses a skill that strikes lightning.

However, Yoon Geon-woo was smiling rather wickedly.

“I was already feeling really dirty. Please play with me.”

Yoon Geon-woo is his weapon, the Thunder God’s Vajra.

I tightly gripped the dagger-sized piece of metal.

Chii Iik-

And that moment.

Something amazing happened.

As if the diamond is alive and moving.

The metal on the surface deformed and wrapped around Yoon Geon-woo’s fingers like a glove.

Soon, the powerful energy flowing from those gloves.

The corners of Yoon Geon-woo’s mouth rose even further.

“Is this a gift that only those who have been blessed by the Chairman can get?”

Yoon Geon-woo’s mana began to overflow.

It felt like the black energy rising through the gloves was biting my entire body.

And at the same time, an unbearably strong energy began to overflow throughout my body.

His Diamond Jewel transformed into an item with chaos properties.

It was a new weapon handed down from Valhalla’s apostle, the special research department.

A special weapon provided to True Opposition members.

It is an item refined by mixing high-purity chaos created by an apostle of Valhalla using various methods.

Among them, a named person like Yoon Geon-woo received high-level items and weapons with chaotic enhancement.

Its power is such that even the high-level immunity monster in front of it is not afraid.

“Kkkkk. What, an electricity-immune boss monster? What do you mean by that?”

At the same time, Yoon Geon-woo injected mana into the vajra.

Holding grip-

At that moment, a porous sound appeared, as if a crack had formed in the surrounding atmosphere.

“Keuuu…”

The hero class cadets nearby showed pained expressions.

Although the distance was already far away.

The aftermath of Yoon Geon-woo’s skill alone was proof that damage was being inflicted on those around him.

3rd Awakening.

In the first place, the power of the skills they used was not comparable to that of ordinary awakened people.

There has never been a case in the history of hunters where the 2nd Awakening defeated the 3rd Awakening.

The difference between the classes is not a few times, but an exponential difference of several tens of times or more.

“Lee Jun-woo…!!”

And Yoon Geon-woo still hasn’t forgotten the humiliation he suffered from Lee Jun-woo.

The semifinals where even Aegis was recently defeated.

The scene of the moment when Lee Jun-woo achieved a complete victory over Ahn Yu-min kept appearing in my mind.

Ahn Yu-min is a cadet whom Yoon Geon-woo has been interested in for a long time.

But I didn’t give in to any temptation.

Perhaps that’s why Lee Jun-woo, who won against An Yu-min, was more annoying.

Clearly, An Yu-min has reached the beginning of his third awakening.

‘Lee Jun-woo has not yet reached the third awakening. But to beat An Yu-min single-handedly…’

It was an absolutely unbelievable result.

So, although I was angry at the decision made by the upper echelons of the apostle, I could understand it.

If the finals had happened as is.

Obviously, all the spotlight would have been on Lee Jun-woo.

The reason why Yoon Geon-woo felt nervous about Lee Jun-woo’s growth.

Even with ordinary hunter class awakened people who couldn’t even become insects.

Lee Jun-woo broke through the halfway point of this horse’s section.

Not only his strength as an awakened person.

Perhaps it is proof that he is very good at leading people.

Even surpassing himself as the first and de facto leader of True Opposition.

‘What are you thinking? There’s no way a bug like that could reach this place where I’m standing.’

Yoon Geon-woo denied the anxiety he unconsciously felt.

Holding grip-

Meanwhile, the mana gathered in the Geumgangjeo had already exceeded the limit of overcharge.

The mana of the lightning was rippling around Yoon Geon-woo’s body like a huge dragon.

“Gaaagh!”

A boss monster that captures Yoon Geon-woo, who shows clear hostility.

At that moment, the guy rushed towards Yoon Geon-woo.

“Blubbery.”

Yoon Geon-woo swung the Geumgangjeo.

“That guy is immune to electricity, so Geonwoo’s skill…”

Apostles’ subordinate cadets were worried about him.

But no such voice was heard in Yoon Geon-woo’s ears.

The 3rd awakening skill with chaotic properties is. It’s strong enough to even pierce immunity.

Soon, Yoon Geon-woo’s skill hit the boss monster.

The vicious electric dragon bit the boss monster’s entire body mercilessly.

“Kiyaaagh-”

And the cadets around were mesmerized by the scene that followed.

“Boo… It was clearly a monster immune to electricity…”

The final scream was very short.

At the spot where Yoon Geon-woo’s skill hit, all that remained was the boss monster that had been reduced to ashes.

Yoon Geon-woo shouted with a more confident smile.

“Let’s wait and see during the final exam! Junwoo Lee!”

The final exam is solo survival in a dungeon.

Now, Yoon Geon-woo is full of confidence.

Lee Jun-woo is strongly convinced that he can never defeat him.

***

Group training entered the 7th day.

In the end, retirement cadets emerged.

But those cadets weren’t killed by monsters. It was a voluntary departure.

– I can’t stay any longer because I feel sorry for Junwoo. Still… I will cheer you on so that you can complete the remaining group training!

There were quite a few cadets who were in poor condition due to injuries and illnesses.

These cadets are quite lacking in objective strength.

To be honest, he was holding the group back.

However, the reward for completing the current training was great.

The rewards are special dungeon items provided by active guilds. All items that can be converted into cash.

So, you may be blinded by the wealth and insist on staying with your current party until the end.

The cadets decided to voluntarily withdraw.

Choi Hana recalled the scene of the disembarking cadets apologizing to Lee Jun-woo.

‘Everyone was sincerely sorry to Junwoo.’

Although the cadets were lacking in skills.

In fact, I couldn’t tell them that it was holding me back.

Whether it’s fort construction or reconnaissance. Whether it’s treating the same injured soldier.

All cadets who decided to drop out also did their best.

All of them objectively performed above and beyond the evaluation they received from Theia.

And the person who brought out that potential was none other than Lee Jun-woo.

‘Even I… may have actually underestimated Junwoo.’

It’s already the 7th day of training.

Although a strong enemy called an immunity monster appeared.

The success of the attack seemed imminent.

Lee Jun-woo used more systematic tactics against immune monsters.

Lee Jun-woo and Ahn Yu-min. And Jae-ho Lim.

Maximum efficiency was extracted from the limited dealer tools.

‘If you can’t fight an immune monster on your own. It was a connection.’

No matter how immune a monster is, if its physical strength begins to collapse, complete immunity is impossible.

So, Lee Jun-woo eroded that immunity by playing as a dealer duo rather than as a solo dealer.

Whether the opponent of that combination is An Yu-min or Lim Jae-ho.

Lee Jun-woo had perfect chemistry.

‘I can only say that it is truly an area of talent.’

Duo partner’s attack characteristics and habits.

This is impossible unless you know everything in great detail.

Even if you know that habit, it’s hard to get the combination right in real life.

This is proof that Lee Jun-woo, who is on the side of matching, has a good fighting sense.

With the combination of different attribute dealers, Lee Jun-woo was able to clearly eliminate dangerous immune boss monsters.

“Well… I really have nothing to say. It’s the perfect dungeon strategy.”

And Jeong Si-woo watches the scene.

Jeong Woon-gyeong, who was nearby, also nodded in fascination.

“When we met as enemies, Junwoo seemed like the grim reaper. It’s so reassuring to have an ally.”

So, I am very happy to watch Lee Jun-woo, whose talent is in full bloom.

On the other hand, Choi Hana was anxious.

Although he has the power to see through the truth.

She was not a dealer with outstanding personal abilities like An Yu-min.

‘I’m nervous. Ahn Yu-min… is so helpful to Jun-woo. I wonder if I’m just holding on to Junwoo’s ankles for no reason…’

Above all, watching An Yu-min, who formed a duo with Lee Jun-woo.

Choi Hana felt a strange emotion she had never felt before.

My heart was pounding and I was so frustrated that I felt like I was going crazy.

I immediately wanted to push Ahn Yu-min away and stand next to Lee Jun-woo.

In fact, that feeling is a normal emotion called jealousy.

Hanara Choi had high self-esteem.

I was so confused by the unfamiliar emotions I was feeling.

‘I don’t like it when other women show interest in Junwoo. Especially An Yu-min…’

But I really didn’t want Lee Jun-woo to know how I felt.

We are teaming up as a duo for the mission of conquering the dungeon.

If you reveal your feelings here, only Junwoo will feel uncomfortable.

“Hana, why are you like this? I don’t like the color of my face!”

At that time, Sumire, who was arm in arm with Hana Choi, spoke.

She is also a very skilled swordsman.

However, in this attack, he was not a dealer on the front line, but was in charge of protecting the cadets in the rear.

Especially because Sumire is sticking close to Choi Hana.

‘Sumire is a good person, but… I still can’t talk about these concerns.’

Smireni is strangely fond of him.

Sumire will become more sullen if she knows that all of her worries are thoughts of Lee Jun-woo and jealousy.

“Rice, it’s nothing special.”

So I gave Sumire a rough look.

And I tried somehow to forget that feeling of jealousy.

That very night.

Choi Hana was caught in the same watch-and-run system as Ahn Yu-min.
