39.

Albert Einstein said that humans can only use 10% of their brain during their lifetime.

If that logic is true, then it would be normal for nothing to happen when hitting the head 90% of the time.

bang!

bang!

bang!

Shock waves erupted one after another from the Blue Dragon Guild. A new black form advanced through the guild members.

“Weak.”

It was Kang Mi-young.

She indiscriminately subdued the Blue Dragon Guild members in the lobby by striking them with the back of her hand.

It seems that we will gradually find out whether Kang Mi-young’s skills are outstanding or her logic is full of loopholes.

Looking at it now, it seems clear that that was just some pop psychology nonsense.

[‘Auto Battle’ is activated.]

Lee Seong-han checked the enemy with a sidelong glance.

‘It’s been reduced a lot.’

The lobby is cleared with the overwhelming performance of the Kang sisters. However, there are still remnants of the Blue Dragon side.

Geum Tae-yang, who was in the lobby, shouted.

“Catch that guy! I’m telling you to buy time somehow! Even if it means taking a hostage!”

“Where is this kid? Fireball! Heavy rain!”

Kang Mi-young crossed her arms in an X shape and pressed down on the keyboard.

“Eww!”

BAM──!

Kwakwakwakwang!

As soon as the Golden Sun Knight finished speaking, [Fireball] exploded.

It’s almost like a downpour.

“This kind of method won’t cut it!!”

The knight held his shield and held on. But he could only hold on. He could neither advance nor retreat.

A house on all sides.

Bae Soo-jin.

“Stationmaster!!”

The knight let out a roar of evil.

A blue shield surrounded him, and the fireballs melted away like snow. Stationmaster. One of the skills of the knight class. But it won’t last long.

“That guy.”

“So if we can somehow catch that guy?”

“These guys will hesitate too.”

The eyes of the remaining remnants changed.

I have to catch it somehow.

She glared at Lee Seong-han with those eyes. Sister Kang looked at Lee Seong-han at the same time. His face was brimming with confidence. They were both embarrassed and embarrassed.

“Mr. Seonghan!”

Kang Jin-young shouted while preparing the magic. It is natural to be worried.

That person was a man.

A female awakener can never be defeated.

At least that was the perception that was ingrained.

Lee Seong-han answered quietly.

“I can handle this. Leave it to me!”

“… … Ugh.”

“Okay. Please.”

Kang Jin-young groaned.

Kang Mi-young nodded as if she understood.

There were mixed reactions, but I had a strong feeling that I wanted to give it a try.

Even while casting the spell, he had a blank expression on his face. It was a face that made you wonder if it would really work. Well, believe it or not.

Lee Seong-han also grew in his own way. What I’m saying is that he didn’t just sit around and do nothing for half a year.

“Break it! Break it!!”

Just then, an enemy appeared.

The opponent is a big barbarian.

It’s been a while since I fought a human. Is it the first time since the Ronin Doll days?

The Barbarian was definitely someone who was right next to the Golden Sun. He must have been of the rank of Closest Aide.

The Blue Dragon organization is a total mess.

Should I say that he is just a big, pot-bellied guy?

It was a bright apricot filled with only such low-quality greetings.

“Coming.”

Lee Seong-han shouted quietly.

The level of the Barbarians has dropped.

In particular, it seemed clear that he had intelligence that was inversely proportional to his strength.

Otherwise, they would just run towards you swinging their war axes indiscriminately.

You know that’s stupid, right?

And change your plans.

‘Please tell me my weaknesses.’

The characteristics responded.

I opened my eyes wide. My pupils dilated, and I felt as if I had entered the fourth dimension.

The Barbarian’s body splits into several pieces and is given different colors.

Red.

It’s blue.

‘There, that’s where you have to aim.’

He must have done a lot of upper body training, because his upper body was very durable. His own attacks were ineffective.

But it wasn’t the lower body.

I guess he was able to get some effective hits because he didn’t exercise very well.

If you’re just killing time… … it’s worth it.

Let’s gather information clearly.

Action has accelerated.

[‘Auto Battle’ identifies the enemy and derives the optimal number!]

[Auto Battle] screamed happily.

It’s the perfect time to feel the growth that’s been happening.

…

…

…

[Perfect number.]

[Derivation completed!]

[Hostile target approach confirmed!]

[Deviate to the side to avoid.]

The Barbarian arrived at the same time as the report of [Automatic Battle].

“Die!”

Kick the ground, jump, and land with a big landing! This is a skill of the Barbarian class. A falling attack after jumping.

It flew through the sky, out of proportion to its size.

He struck the exact spot where Lee Seong-han was with an axe. He whistled as if he had a sense of battle, as if [Automatic Combat] was no ordinary thing.

“Die!”

BAM───!

The barbarian’s axe blade sank into the ground, sending shockwaves.

Got it.

I caught it just like the boss said!

As the dust cleared, the corners of his mouth went up.

It’s certain he was killed.

How can a low-class man, even an F-class one, block the path of the Blue Dragon!

The Barbarian’s smile began to fade as the debris disappeared.

Because Lee Seong-han is gone. I’m confused.

How can an F-class dodge at that speed? Something smells fishy.

“Hey, you little rat! Where did you go?!”

The barbarian rolled his eyes as he struggled to pull out his axe.

Rat. It’s the first time I’ve heard that. I feel dirty for no reason.

Lee Seong-han rolled to the side.

He regained his senses and sharpened his longsword. When he lunged, he quickly slashed horizontally.

The target is the Barbarian’s Bridge.

Normally, there should be a clear sound of iron clashing against iron.

Bam!

The sound of flesh and bone being cut cleanly. It flowed through the Barbarian’s ears. The pain rose through his cells in an instant.

Amputation of right ankle.

Tendon severing.

It’s the worst.

Loss of combat capability.

The Barbarian’s eyes twitched. Oh, how did a male Awakener defeat a female?!

“You, what are you doing!”

The barbarian, who had lost his balance, fell to one knee. He squeezed one eye shut, as if it was stinging.

It will be hard to stand.

Only then did Lee Seong-han catch his breath. Phew, it’s hard. I’m exhausted.

[Auto Battle] is getting better as the level goes up.

I felt like I still needed more physical training.

Moreover, I am just a time-waster. I am not a member of the front line, but a second-tier unit that is used in a hurry. I am a reserve force.

Since you’ve drawn aggro, they’ll come and take care of it.

“Ugh! Hey, where are you stuck that I can’t even scream─”

The Barbarian couldn’t open his mouth.

Boom───!

Kang Mi-young wearing a hood.

He quickly raised his sword and stabbed. His face was blurry because of the black mask he had gotten from somewhere – Kang Jin-young had lent it to him.

A barbarian who has just pulled out his war axe.

He quickly struck out and fell back.

“Huh, huh.”

“The weapon is gone.”

Kang Mi-young explained in a low voice.

Aura Blade. It is like a secret weapon of the Sword Master that can cut through anything.

The war axe, which had been polished with magic stone, lost its shape and fell apart.

“Now is the time.”

Kang Jin-young on the side.

He took advantage of the opportunity to cast a spell.

“Brain window!”

Ss …

Yellow spears appeared in the air one after another. Several bolts of lightning struck around them.

one.

two.

three.

The members of the Blue Dragon guild fell one after another. Not only the Barbarian, but also the others.

A naked female barbarian who was trying to capture Lee Seong-han just now.

thud-

A giant man who was 190cm tall fell down after being hit by a stick.

I thought, this is what it means when they say the heavens and the earth shook.

[Fireball], [Thunder Spear] Extreme damage combo.

This is a classic attack method for wizards.

Wipe out enemies with a massive number of bullets.

The Barbarian was ripe without a moment to do anything. He didn’t kill them. Murdering the Awakened is a serious crime. He’s just following a legal path.

“shit, shit!”

The Golden Sun Knight fell backwards in shock. Deep burn marks were left on both sides of his face, making him look ugly.

‘It’s S-class. That’s definitely the Iron-Blooded Empress!’

The knight shuddered as if he was creeped out. A reddish aura appeared in the aura.

It was clear. What on earth is that guy doing that?

The knight shouted at the remaining remnants.

“After, retreat! Get a therapist!”

Kang Jin-young threw the Barbarian with both hands with all his might. Geum Tae-yang, who received the Barbarian, ran away with the rest of the party. It is said that he only acts violently this season.

That’s why I don’t move on my own─ Kang Jin-young sighed.

“Situation ended.”

Kang Mi-young took off her mask and looked around. All signs of life had disappeared.

She handed over the mask she was holding to Kang Jin-young.

People will be coming soon.

She is currently on hiatus. She is returning with such a surprise show? It was sure to be a big topic of conversation. Kang Mi-young didn’t like that.

‘It’s going to be hard to meet.’

Lee Seong-han is an important talent.

That’s why I absolutely hated passing it on to others.

“First of all, the security is lax. I think it would be better for our Hunter Management Agency to do the security, rather than this uncertain counterintelligence agency.”

“What the hell. You said you were coming back? Why are you hanging around here.”

Kang Jin-young laughed.

“You received help and now you want to stick your legs out? What a ridiculous story,”

“That’s that, and this is this. Seonghan is watching. You’d better answer quickly, right?”

“… … … … Ahem, I received a dispatch report.”

“and.”

“Let’s go first. We’ve already achieved our purpose of meeting today. Your Majesty. Please take care of yourself.”

Kang Mi-young quickly ran away.

It was a tremendous speed.

* * *

The conversation didn’t last long.

“Please drop your weapon.”

“I’m a wizard.”

“Please drop your weapon.”

Ah, you stupid tin cans, that’s why I hate you, right? ─ Kang Jin-young whispered with both arms raised.

“Are we okay?”

“Don’t worry. The ones who struck first were the Blue Dragons. It’ll be okay. It’s just a formality. Rules are important, right?”

What should I do when someone who doesn’t follow the rules is flirting in front of me? I tried to say something but just swallowed it.

“By the way, what about you, Major?”

“It popped. What else can that new chest do?”

After Kang Mi-young suddenly disappeared, saying that she had achieved her goal.

“Raise your hand.”

The conversation was cut off. He was aiming his rifle at a humanoid security robot. At this distance, it would be instant death. A special forces soldier in pitch-black uniform.

Since it is an unmanned unit made of magic stones, it is difficult to deal with.

‘Hunter Association Security Department. Is this where it’s supposed to happen?’

An organization that is generally referred to as the Security Department, but is supported by several defense industry companies.

It’s okay to think of it as a small army. Korea has few gate countermeasures due to the lack of awakened people. I was grateful for even this kind of equipment.

Lee Seong-han raised both arms hesitantly.

“Stop!!”

A shout was heard from afar. The soldiers with rifles lowered their guns. It seemed as if they had received orders from their superiors.

He’s a man.

He’s middle-aged too.

I’ve heard that voice somewhere before.

“… … that human.”

“Is that him?”

“Yes. Hide behind me. I don’t know what he might do.”

“This isn’t a doll.”

Kang Jin-young growled in a low voice.

“Whether they’re dolls or whatever. In any case, they’re essentially ignorant people who don’t know your worth.”

The android stepped back, creating a gap like the Red Sea parting.

A middle-aged man ran through the gap.

A longsword was visible at his waist.

“Ah, you’re here! I heard there was a commotion in the lobby, but I guess it was you. Hehe. I won’t cause any trouble so put your weapon down.”

The troops withdrew at the middle-aged man’s direction.

“Nice to meet you again.”

“… … Oh, the president?”

He gave a light bow and shook my hand with both of his hands clasped together. The arm he was waving was youthful and lively, not befitting his age.

“Hehehe, this is the second time we’ve met in person like this. If you said you were coming, you should’ve told me in advance. I’m really grateful for what happened then. Really. And you even kicked out those useless bastards.”

“I apologize for acting shamelessly.”

Lee Seong-han touched his forehead, making the sound of a balloon deflating. This is a big deal. It might become a big deal to the world.

“Don’t worry about that. I’ve taken care of everything. Come here. There’s a way to pass the test. And of course, you’ll get promoted!”

Yes? Is there such a way? Lee Seong-han’s eyes opened wide. Then, a very brief silence fell.

Ah, I see.

I looked at it with a puzzled look.

“You have no intention of joining the Hunter Association?!!”

“Should I kill that old man?”

It’s a scene I’ve seen a lot.

* * *

Lee Seong-han felt like he was going crazy.

That’s because my plan to secretly take the promotion exam went awry.

Lee Seong-han failed the promotion exam.

He ended up serving in the military until he was 100 years old.

“Wow! Oh! Just wait a day and the whole thing will come! If you don’t remember waiting, then maybe you weren’t WAITING?!?!”

“Are you saying something weird again?”

“Your Majesty. Calm down. Take this medicine first.”

“What kind of medicine do you take?”

“It is the elixir of immortality.”

“… … Please kill me.”

“No.”

“No way. No way. Let’s just live our lives together, okay?”

…

…

…

sudden!

Lee Seong-han woke up from a nightmare.

“Ugh, ugh.”

A nightmare where I worked as a professional sergeant until I was 100 and then died of old age. As soon as I woke up, I wiped my forehead in shock.

“I thought I was going to die.”

And what’s even scarier?

Sister Kang is still crouching next to me without aging at all. It was creepy because there were signs that this might actually come true.

“Gyaaaahh …

He got up quickly, screaming like a little girl.

An ordinary classroom.

It was the Hunter Association’s written examination room.

The sun was slowly setting outside the window, and there was no sign of the exam having already ended.

Lee Seong-han touched his forehead.

The promotion test was made up of four stages, so he thought he was just getting started. And then he made this mistake! Oh, my goodness.

But Lee Seong-han didn’t know.

The documents are almost like they’ve already been accepted.

The Awakening Management Office, located not far from the testing center, was a secretive department that handled many of the Association’s important tasks.

The examiners reviewed the documents and test materials in their entirety.

“Hmm, what is this document? This guy has a lot of experience hunting irregulars, and he was even dispatched by the Hunter Management Bureau? He’s still a regular rank… … Is this information reliable?”

“I’m still a freshman in society who hasn’t had much time yet… What is this? The person who recommended me is the head of the Hunter Management Bureau’s special forces.”

“Oh my gosh! Is that real?!”

It was a secret that I passed the first document screening without any problems due to some kind of pressure(?).
