This day was an important day for Shin Jeul. Fortunately, Lasia Gun also received plus points and succeeded in upgrading the detector to augmented reality.

The equipment used was shared products made by existing students and was fully prepared.

[Radar activated]

-Currently limited to 500M at max radius

-AI helps with information processing.

The upgraded radar, like the power arm, was equipped with AI.

This can be a great help in completing your mission, but… . Shin Jeul turned off the AI assistance function.

“Because it’s not a problem just because I’m good at it.”

The reason is really simple. It’s not because he’s just good at it.

This shows how useful the support department is.

Even if you say you came in first place with the help of AI, what does it mean?

Other players cannot keep up.

So, you need to make the most of what you have learned without AI.

How well will we assist the awakened? The timing and help are desperately needed.

The only advantage is that he knows well the purpose of the program.

There was one problem with Shin Jeul waiting calmly.

The process of Lee Seon-ha first putting together the Awakened team and then selecting the person who will join the Awakening team.

The problem was that no one supported it.

“I have to work with the awakened ones… .”

The support department personnel were now afraid to step forward.

Except for one person, Shin Jeul.

It is natural that Shin Je-ul agreed with Lee Seon-ha’s plan from the beginning.

And he had no intention of criticizing those who could not come forward.

‘It’s something I did and I’ll deal with it.’

So, I’m showing it to the support department. Shin Jeul raised his hand in front of everyone.

“This is what I wanted, so I’ll take the lead.”

“Then… . Who should I connect with?”

Seonha Lee was struggling, but there was another problem.

This time, there is no support from the Awakened side.

“Is there anyone among you who wants to be with Jeul?”

“Well, ”

“Or I will force you to specify it.”

As Lee Seon-ha applied pressure, the awakened people murmured in dissatisfaction for one reason or another.

But as expected, no applicants came forward.

That was the time when Lee Seon-ha tried to force the designation.

“If no one will do it, I will leave.”

Everyone’s eyes turn to the clean, pure face.

Immediately, Lee Sang-hyun, the main character of this original novel, was standing up and raising his hand.

For reference, his grades are naturally first in the entire school. They are 3rd graders and are said to be the strongest line of 2nd graders who have beaten everything.

He steps forward?

For Shin Jeul, it was no different from a thousand soldiers or ten thousand horses. Lee Sang-hyeon took out his weapon, a spear, and put on his official protective clothing.

“Please take care of me.”

“Are you okay? The record might drop?”

“Of course, I won’t forgive that.”

Lee Sang-hyun sent a bit of murderous action towards Shin Je-ul.

“I believe that as much as you do this, you will show sufficient skills. Right?”

I can feel the pressure as he smiles brightly again.

Shin Jeul swallowed his saliva.

“I told you, you have to do well.”

Just like that, a party with no idea how it would turn out was completed.

The Awakened team goes through several challenges and they come together.

The awakened team that went first took their time during the 20-minute course, but the changed system did not allow that.

[Why are monsters appearing in succession?]

[what? Hiding underground with a monster at the same time? Hey, you have to deal with them in a certain order!]

[No, why doesn’t it fall when I attack it?]

They began to struggle.

It’s different from dealing with monsters and doing puzzle-like detection and rescue missions one after another.

Of course, the basic structure is the same, but it is tighter. It was reducing the gap and, in a way, forcing them to do it at the same time.

Rules that force quick thinking and judgment. The level of difficulty has increased relatively.

Shin Jeul waited and watched the reaction of the awakened person.

“As the difficulty increases, won’t you be able to do anything with support?”

As the level of difficulty increases, so does the distrust in the support department.

I also think that Shinjeul is dangerous because several monsters appear.

‘It’s up to you to what extent.’

Assists by understanding the status and abilities of the awakened person. You can’t think simply.

[Lee Sang-hyun’s ability is simply a slash. The ability to simply cut down enemies. Looking at this alone, it is a very simple ability for a main character, but its true value is that it is incapable of defense. A slash with the condition of cutting down regardless of the opponent’s defense. The ordinary monster in front of him is just prey for a slash.]

Shin Je-ul recalled Lee Sang-hyeon’s abilities. An overwhelming force that delivers slashes that make defense impossible.

In fact, the monster itself will simply melt away from that slash.

‘Of course, the program is supposed to prevent that.’

There are no simple monsters. Everyone must use their heads.

He adjusted the detector. Since awakened people rarely carry detectors, he makes his judgment and informs them of their location.

It will identify what kind of monster it is and let you know right away.

I diligently drew a simulation in my head. The good news here is that knowledge always helps his mind.

While they are putting their minds together, Seonha Lee now calls them.

“Alright, next is Sanghyun and Jeul.”

“Shall we go?”

Lee Sang-hyun stands up, striking the floor with his spear.

Now they are moving.

While heading to the entrance of a poorly restored artificial mountain, Lee Sang-hyun smiled at the entrance that looked like an unpaved road.

“It feels more real because it’s a mess.”

“Well, the monster scene is urgent.”

The moment they walked through the entrance, Shinjeul’s radar began blinking red.

‘It’s right there?’

Shin Jeul tried to open his mouth, but the monster was too close.

“Uh… .”

But soon, a spear hit the ground next to him.

[Simulator monster extinction]

Soon, an invisible monster with a bat-like appearance is revealed and collapses.

“A transparent enemy from the beginning. Does this come out randomly?”

“…”

Shin Je-ul was surprised, but what was even more amazing was Lee Sang-hyun’s movement of immediately cutting down the enemy identified by radar.

“You’re amazing, aren’t you?”

“It’s no big deal. Then shall we go?”

Lee Sang-hyun moves forward and Shin Je-ul also gets his act together again.

And while searching the surroundings with radar, the monster was identified again.

[Monster Grade 2 Steel Slime]

[Monster Grade 3 Red Mountain Monkey]

“Sanghyun! There is a steel slime and a mountain monkey about 200 meters ahead!”

“It’s simple.”

As expected, Lee Sang-hyun ran with all his might without even looking.

Steel Slime is an amorphous monster type that regenerates if its weak points are not accurately targeted.

Even the body is hard, so a strong attack is required.

‘But it has no meaning to Lee Sang-hyun.’

When Shin Jeul hurriedly followed, all of the monsters had already been cut down.

Lee Sang-hyun was thinking deeply about something while looking at Shin Je-ul.

“Although it is convenient, there is no reason to bring the support department with you.”

“That’s right… .”

But it was this time.

Aren’t monsters suddenly regenerating?

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

A situation not found in textbooks. Lee Sang-hyun cuts it again, but regeneration continues.

Shin Jeul made a quick decision at this time.

‘Artificial intelligence was created by setting the awakened person’s style and corresponding coping methods. The same goes for a slash that you cannot defend against. ‘If that’s the case, there must be another reason for it to regenerate like that.’

Quick judgment. In Shinjeul’s knowledge, I thought of a monster that regenerates other monsters.

“Shin Jeul, are there any other monsters?”

Lee Sang-hyeon also thought similarly, but the problem is that if it is a monster that can reproduce other monsters, it cannot come out of the academy.

First of all, it’s not on the radar.

‘It is a method of elimination. In that case, it is not a monster, but something that was systematically and artificially created.’

The rescue mission was twisted.

You have to block something specific to prevent playback. Shin Jeul turned off all but the machine detection function of the radar search.

Things like drones and simulation reproduction devices are popping up, but that’s not it.

There was another machine alone in the back of the forest, not underground.

“Over there, behind the tree split in half!”

As soon as Shin Je-ul shouts, Lee Sang-hyun’s slash flies like a vacuum wave.

When the machine was destroyed along with the tree, the system finally let them through.

“The difficulty level is really high, isn’t it? Is it like this?”

Lee Sang-hyun laughed heartily, wondering what was good, and then looked at Shin Je-ul.

“What you just said was definitely helpful. Leave the battle to me and ask me to be clear.”

“Any amount.”

Shin Je-ul’s confidence grew greatly after what had just happened.

Maybe that was why it was all smooth sailing from then on.

“It’s psychedelic butterfly dust! I’ll take the lead, so turn around and go.”

“Good.”

Also, being fully armed in a suit can be defended.

This time, as the monster that had self-immolated disturbed his vision, Shin Je-ul figured out the characteristics of this monster.

“If you attack me, I attack.”

“What?”

Shin Jeul ran to the back, using the monster’s surprise attack technique. Trusting the suit’s defensive power, the moment the defense is over, the slash kills the monster.

They worked hard like this, and before they knew it, their record was 14 minutes in a 20-minute course.

After finishing everything, Lee Sang-hyun returned and said something.

“Is it incredibly helpful?”

The words of the 1st in my grade and the overall valedictorian resonated here.

***

As the tests continued, the Awakened team was in great confusion.

Except for the rescue mission, it would be enough for them to take the lead in defeating the monster, but now, this mission is complex. Clearly, puzzles are emphasized.

The mission is to understand the characteristics and status of the monster and how to escape and attack it.

Of course, regardless of whether there were two awakened people or not, everyone’s records started to drop.

The majority of time slots are 28 and 30 minutes.

The same was true for other top students: April, Lasia, Dae-ho Ahn, and Cheon-seong Kang.

“What, why are they so good?”

This practice was so difficult that their record was 25 minutes.

However, Shin Je-ul and Lee Sang-hyeon recorded a record that exceeded the standard of 14 minutes.

Since it was a support department, the Awakened side was in a state of agitation when they saw the results of what they did with solid support.

“It’s just because of Lee Sang-hyun. What!”

Kang Cheon-seong strongly denied it. I achieved good results because I worked with Lee Sang-hyun.

It makes sense, but the records are still very different. That’s it with the support department?

Dae-ho Ahn was also looking at the support department as if he were dumbfounded.

Shin Jeul.

The seemingly insignificant existence of this Academy that suddenly appeared was now changing something.

“I can’t admit it. yes? Is it Sia?”

Kang Cheon-seong huffs and asks Lasia for consent.

Lasia was also keeping an eye on him in one way or another because of Shin Jeul.

At this time, Daeho Ahn looked towards April. She would be the most excited about such a result, but strangely she was quiet this time.

“Damn, what kind of part-time job pays so little? I’m just trying to serve you.”

She seemed to have no time to worry about this because of family matters.

Anyway, the day was about to end like this.

[Alert! Alert! A monster cloud occurs!]

An alarm rang in their ears again. And at the same time, isn’t a green fog covering them?

“Huh? Huh?”

While everyone was panicking, Shin Jeul’s voice rang out.

“Everyone gather together, spread out your shields, and go behind the Awakened!”

Isn’t the cocky Shin Je-ul the first to understand the situation and give instructions?

be impertinent.

But now, hasn’t the monster appeared?

Everyone was listening to that. But the bigger problem is that a giant monster appears here.

Everyone was on guard, thinking about the giant monster, but the giant monster did not come here.

[Giant monster appears! A giant monster appears! The location is towards Incheon Bridge!]

“Incheon Bridge?”

The giant monster landed at Incheon Bridge, not the academy.
