The final exam has begun.

At best, it’s the final exam for first-year academy cadets.

To active heroes and hunters, it may seem like a child’s joke.

‘But the reality is different.’

Jeong Ji-yoon, secretary of True Opposition.

she thought to herself.

Theia’s first year.

Those cadets far surpassed the skills of the second graders, known as the golden generation.

In the first place, it was a miracle to overcome the 3rd awakening while attending the academy.

However, surprisingly, several first-year cadets succeeded in their third awakening.

Yoon Geon-woo, the monster from True Opposition.

Aegis’ An Yu-min and Song Si-ah.

It wouldn’t be strange if everyone graduated from the academy early and became part of a major guild’s elite team.

‘Plus, there’s Lee Jun-woo.’

And among the third awakeners, the most surprising person is definitely Lee Jun-woo.

Although Lee Jun-woo is less famous than his growth due to Sado’s control of the media.

However, Jeong Ji-yoon, who was a classmate at the academy and had analyzed the training video of the last horse section, knew it well.

‘Out of standard. It is a special type of power that cannot be compared to general power.’

Jeong Ji-yoon was lost in thought.

A form of mirror power that is far from combat.

However, Lee Jun-woo used the mirror to demonstrate a solo combat ability that was more overwhelming than anyone else’s.

‘At first glance, it looks like Yoon Geon-woo or Ahn Yu-min are overwhelming in terms of firepower, but…’

Nevertheless, the reality was different.

Lee Jun-woo’s Mirror Prison.

That special power was like an ant hell that was thoroughly tailored to the opponent’s power.

More than captured in that prison.

No matter what form the opponent’s power takes, it cannot properly demonstrate its original power.

‘On the other hand, Lee Jun-woo’s ability in that space is absolute.’

That it can have compatibility with all powers.

In her mind, the image of Lee Jun-woo playing with the boss in the magic section came to mind.

Absolute strength that made even the cool-headed woman’s heart flutter.

“It’s dangerous!”

At that time, a nearby cadet shouted.

Now inside the dungeon where the final exam is being held.

It was not a virtual training using the fields of Northern Warworld.

A super-scale dungeon similar to the Demon Section.

And that dungeon is a dangerous dungeon from the Dark Ages that was not open to cadets.

It was a tower that went underground.

‘It’s more difficult than the magic section.’

The very core of the tower. Already from the beginning, multiple monsters attacked the cadets.

The one who survives the numerous raids and enters the deepest part of the tower will be the winner of this final exam.

In the process, you are free to form a party among cadets.

Whirly rilyri-

Jeong Ji-yoon quickly put an arrow on the bowstring.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak-

The multi-element magic arrow she fired quickly hit the monster.

And the moment I waited for that explosion.

Other Apostles cadets nearby cut off the monster’s head.

“Processed! Kkeut!”

The cadet let out an exclamation of joy.

But Jiyoon Jeong frowned when she saw that.

‘Those ordinary guys…’

It wasn’t an unpleasant feeling that the last hit had been taken away.

Rather, you can save her stamina and mana.

However, the reason why Jeong Ji-yoon frowned was because the weapons used by the ordinary cadets around him were anything but ordinary.

“As expected, the weapons directly provided by Sado are on a different level! Hahahaha!”

Just now.

The monsters those cadets dealt with were at least Class A monsters.

With the class of cadets that Jeong Ji-yoon knew, it was absolutely impossible to take them out in one blow.

‘As expected, the weapons provided by the Apostles… are mixed with chaos.’

Although I did not consume Chaotic directly.

With just those chaotic weapons, the Apartheids’ cadets became stronger.

I glanced at them again.

The weapon was rooted in an unusual shape, protecting the cadets’ bodies like protective gear.

‘In that case, it’s an item that goes beyond a weapon.’

A survival type final exam.

Therefore, the only item cadets can take with them in this exam is their main weapon.

However, due to that chaotic weapon, the Apartheids, or rather the hero class cadets, had to take the test with full equipment.

‘Is Sado trying to make Yoon Geon-woo win that much?’

The reason seemed obvious at first glance.

A space behind the Mirror Hotel.

As a cadet’s rank and grades increase, the entry rights increase.

Of course, the cadet who ranks first in the final exam will be given absolute authority over that space.

‘What on earth exists… is Chairman Song Yu-hwan so obsessed with it?’

But Jeong Ji-yoon quickly shook his head.

When I entered that space, thinking about what almost happened to An Yu-min, I didn’t want to go there again.

‘If I were to meet Junwoo again… well, it would be interesting.’

At that thought that suddenly occurred to him, Jeong Ji-yoon hurriedly slapped her both cheeks with his palms.

‘Home, middle, go! ‘It’s not the time to think about men!’

Even the insignificant cadets around her were more focused than her. And I was focusing on farming while dealing with monsters.

‘Maybe it’s because I started with a chaotic weapon. The farming speed is fast.’

It is possible to farm items while progressing through the tower.

The farming speed of the hero class, which has all the equipment from the start, is bound to be overwhelming.

Of course, Jeong Ji-yoon had an ominous sense of the chaos weapon, so he brought the weapon he always used.

She inadvertently thought of Apostles’ competitors.

By far, those two parties are Aegis and Ignition.

‘Hunter class. And Lee Jun-woo’s Ignition. I don’t think this final exam will be easy.’

But Aigis wasn’t worried.

Of course, since Song Xia is there.

That place also broke the rules of the final exam and received additional items.

So, it means that the Hunter class with Lee Jun-woo is at an overwhelming disadvantage.

Strangely enough, Jeong Ji-yoon did not like that fact.

I tried not to be conscious of it, but I ended up thinking about Lee Jun-woo again.

“……”

It was like that in the last behind-the-scenes space, and I developed a little connection with Lee Jun-woo.

And strangely enough, I became conscious of Lee Jun-woo.

Jiyoon Jeong may not admit it to himself, but he does.

Right now, I was looking forward to his promotion more than True Opposition.

‘If it’s according to the principles… it won’t be against the rules if I cooperate with Lee Jun-woo.’

After all, this final exam is personal survival.

However, helping Lee Jun-woo, who is not an apostle cadet, is a betrayal to Jinyoung.

Nevertheless, Jeong Ji-yoon couldn’t stop thinking about Lee Jun-woo.

Because he was an apostle-type cadet.

I didn’t like everything about Song Yu-hwan’s dictatorship system.

Rather, Yoon Geon-woo, Song Yu-hwan’s faithful hunting dog.

Without realizing it, she became more attracted to Lee Jun-woo, his obvious rival.

Although the True Opposition cadets would not admit it.

Lee Jun-woo had a mysterious charm that attracted people.

Even as a leader of a group. And also as a man.

‘Well, of course… I’m not thinking with reason.’

But contrary to that thought, Jeong Ji-yoon hurriedly took out a hand mirror and checked her appearance.

‘I don’t think Lee Jun-woo will think it’s strange to see me wearing contact lenses.’

There is a good chance that you will run into Lee Jun-woo during this final exam.

She took off her usual glasses and wore contact lenses for this exam.

‘Lee Jun-woo. Make sure you survive.’

While muttering to myself like that.

Jeong Ji-yoon joined the Aparcels’ cadets again and conquered the dungeon in the tower.

***

As expected, the final exam was not easy from the start.

A tower dug underground.

The final stage in the original work.

As such, the difficulty level of the tower itself is high.

All monsters that appear are A-level or higher.

Considering that the average of Apostles’ cadets is currently a B-level hunter, it is impossible to deal with those monsters without cooperative play.

‘And the enemy isn’t just monsters.’

At that moment, some cadets spotted me and rushed towards me.

“It’s Lee Jun-woo! Catch it!”

“If I catch that guy, I might be able to join the Apostle Elite team as an intern during this vacation!”

“It’s worth a try since he’s alone!”

There were three cadets.

Looking at the outfit, it looks like hero class. It was like a cadet from True Opposition.

‘Is farming already that bad…?’

At the starting point, you cannot wear any equipment other than your main weapon.

But these guys were already wearing full protective gear like fully armed knights.

‘Right. Is this the effect of a chaotic weapon?’

Thanks to the mixing of chaotic magic stones, the weapon itself could have had the effect of armor.

Since it is no different from using cheat keys from the beginning, the farming speed cannot be compared to the general case.

I don’t know what to do –

And to the extent that it uses its chaotic properties.

It was like the level of B-class cadets was immediately raised to A-class.

‘It’s powerful. If you get hit directly, damage may remain.’

I hurriedly dodged the magic projectiles raining down on me.

Shaaagh-

At the same time, he targeted my blind spot and slashed with his sword.

I narrowly avoided that sword strike.

‘If this had been hit, it would have been a fatal wound.’

Just like dealing with the powerhouses of the competition.

The three cadets skillfully surrounded me. The level was so high that it was hard to believe they were just cadets.

‘Well, if you’re a member of True Opposition, you’d normally take the elixir as a nutritional supplement.’

On the other hand, I haven’t been able to farm any items other than my main weapon, Letisane’s Orb.

Moreover, perhaps because of Chaotic’s influence, they did not get nervous when they saw me as a person of interest.

“You should never let Lim Jae-ho or Jeong Si-woo join!”

“Keep the party in formation! No matter how much Lee Jun-woo is, he can’t do anything alone!”

Maintaining their typical stance as a tough heel, they steadily surrounded me.

‘It’s more difficult than the original.’

Besides, I shouldn’t waste time here.

There are 300 cadets taking this final exam.

Among them, only the apostolic cadets, including the hero class, are close to 200.

The remaining neutral cadets are more likely to stick with Yoon Geon-woo than me.

The current dungeon was like a paradise full of not only monsters but also more dangerous cadets.

‘Is it I who is the target of that pursuit and annihilation?’

It was a desperate crisis.

Perhaps, if there were cadets around me who were close to me, they might shout urgently and worry about me.

But I laughed.

“What is it? Why is that kid smiling all of a sudden?”

“Kkkkk. It would be worth it. This is the guy who was said to be Yoon Geon-woo’s rival…”

“The topic of the Hunter class Jobap… you have a lot of delusions.”

The guys who thought they had already secured the win were full of leisure.

I smiled softly again and said,

“It would be very nice. Final exams are already over.”

“What bullshit…”

Although the guys were excited.

I wasn’t interested.

I put the orb back in my pocket and turned my back on them.
