The silence that passed for a moment gave rise to a louder sound.

“We’re dealing with a special entity… ?”

“Isn’t it too dangerous?”

“Many people will be taken away today.”

The most difficult thing about dealing with special entities is that you don’t know how much stronger they are than normal species until you try to deal with them.

Are you stronger or weaker than me?

The mere fact of not knowing can make people feel intimidated.

If that guy is stronger than me, the probability of dying goes up that much.

“Everyone be quiet.”

When Professor Lim Cheol-woong spoke with magic in his voice, everyone fell silent.

“Everyone moves to a mock dungeon.”

Students heading out of the classroom with expressions full of worry.

I ended up seeing a familiar face among them.

Son Seo-yeon… .

What on earth is a second-year transfer student doing in the gap between first-year students?

Ah, I see.

The Magic Tower is a place solely for learning the science of magic.

This means that it is a place where you cannot find out about the monsters unless you look for them yourself.

So, we have no choice but to learn from the basics among first graders.

“Hey, what are you doing when you’re not up?”

While I was lost in my thoughts, Shin Yoo-jeong shook my shoulder and woke me up.

When I looked around, all the other students had gone out and we were the only ones left.

“I just wanted to think for a moment.”

“Why are you scared when you say you’re dealing with a special entity?”

Shin Yu-jeong asks me with a smile.

“No way.”

“but… “With the magic you used last time, even most special entities will be over with just one hit.”

The magic he was talking about probably refers to the combination of fireball and airball that he showed me last time.

Certainly, with that, you can send away most monsters in one hit.

Through the synergy of two well-compatible beginner spells, it is possible to produce destructive power close to that of intermediate spells.

“Magic? “What magic?”

Lim Na-eun, who was quietly listening to this, joined the conversation.

“I went to a dungeon with Yujeong once, and we used fireball that time.”

“and… “Dojin, have you already looked around the dungeon?”

Lim Na-eun shows an expression of admiration.

“It was a place where only goblins came out.”

“But where is it? You’ve already experienced it in real combat.”

You keep talking about how amazing it is, and it puts a strain on my shoulders for no reason.

This guy has an outstanding ability to make people feel good.

“Are you not going?”

Shin Yoo-jeong, who had suddenly left the flow of conversation, began to complain that she did not like him.

I guess he didn’t like the idea of us talking alone, leaving him alone.

“I have to go.”

“Yes, let’s go!”

I walked a little faster and joined the end of the line ahead.

2nd floor, 1st floor.

I continued to walk down the stairs leading down.

Basement 1st floor, 2nd floor, 3rd floor… .

We finally reached the 5th basement floor.

A huge door at the end of a hallway wide enough for ten people to walk side by side.

Professor Lim Cheol-woong, standing in front of them, pointed to the small doors on both walls.

“First, make sure you wear protective gear in the locker room. “The time limit is 5 minutes, and if you are late, you will be given penalty points.”

At the word “penalty points,” the men and women split in half and pass through a small door.

In the locker room, leather armor for each part and black tight suits worn underneath are arranged neatly.

First, I took off the clothes I was wearing and put them into the locker room, but I felt eyes on me from everywhere.

I looked around and saw several students staring at me and whispering.

“and… , Look at your body.”

“Wasn’t he a wizard?”

“Just looking at your body, I can tell you’re a wizard and he’s a warrior.”

Yes, you can take care of your body with this taste.

I got scolded for trying to force down the corners of my mouth that kept rising.

I put on a leather top and pants, arm guards, and a helmet on my head and glanced at the mirror.

Ah, I remember the old days.

When I was in D or C class, I walked around the dungeon with my whole body wrapped in leather armor, just like now.

While I was briefly reminiscing about old memories, Professor Lim Cheol-woong opened the locker room door and came in.

“One minute left.”

This is not the time, really.

I immediately passed Professor Lim Cheol-woong and came out of the locker room.

They also appeared one by one in the women’s locker room.

Shin Yu-jeong, whose entire body is wrapped in leather armor, taps my shoulder with a rather satisfied expression.

“Is it because you’re in good shape? “That doesn’t look bad either.”

In fact, it is difficult to say that it is stylish to look wrapped in low-end leather armor.

Still, if you see him doing that, you probably get a prick in his eye.

By the way, there isn’t much time left.

“What about Naeun?”

When I ask the guy, he turns his head.

“I don’t know. “Why are you asking me that?”

Why am I asking you… , we shared the same locker room, you bastard.

Since they are a wizard, they probably aren’t used to wearing this type of armor.

“Couldn’t you have come out and helped me out?”

When I give him a little rebuke, he glares at me with menacing eyes.

“Are you scolding me for not helping another bitch?”

In the past, my body would have been shocked by those eyes, but now I accept it calmly.

After all, one sex is better than a hundred encounters.

“No, buddy… “Even if it’s not that bad, it’s not difficult to help people who are close friends.”

“I’m having a hard time.”

“Oh yeah.”

With that said, there is nothing more to say.

He’s so jealous that he’s cute, but I’m also a bit worried.

What if I end up in a stabbing situation with another woman?

We need to make sure we educate ourselves before something like that happens, um.

Professor Lim Cheol-woong looks at the watch on his wrist.

It seems like time is slowly coming to an end.

Just when you think this is a penalty point, Lim Na-eun runs out in a huff.

“Hehe, hehe… “It’s not late, right?”

“It was close.”

“phew… , thank god.”

Lim Na-eun breathes a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Lim Cheol-woong stopped looking at his watch.

“Time is up. Fortunately, no one will receive penalty points.”

His expression, which seemed at first glance to be grave, showed a slight sense of satisfaction.

“Then let’s move on to the next step.”

While saying that, Professor Lim Cheol-woong placed the card hanging around his neck on the sensor located in the center of the huge door.

[Identity confirmed.]

Accompanied by a cold voice, the surrounding area shakes and a huge door splits open at the top and bottom, like an animal gaping.

Large space, chairs, desk, large screen.

“This is a kind of classroom and waiting room.”

indeed.

Are you saying that while the other guys are conducting practice, they will be waiting here and watching at the same time?

“Everyone, please take your seats first.”

Empty chairs fill up quickly.

“The practice will be conducted in groups of five.”

The number of people gathered here is exactly 50.

Of course, the job ratio is in a miserable state.

“I think so.”

Professor Lim Cheol-woong said something meaningful.

And then the words that followed were a signal.

“Skill comes from forming a party with like-minded people.”

Grumble!

Come on!

The first to respond to his words were the warriors, who accounted for the largest proportion.

Among them, there were guys whose grades were just average.

“Yoonsik, are there any seats left at the party you’re planning? ?”

“If you stay, embrace me!”

“No, I’m better than him!”

A human barrier was built around the wizard.

“Ugh.”

… As a former melee dealer, my heart breaks.

But it’s something that can’t be helped.

The guys gathered here are aspiring hunters who have just started learning.

Among the various occupations that make up a party, which one requires the most trial and error?

The answer is a melee dealer.

Why?

You have to fight face to face with disgusting monsters.

In addition, you have to use your own hands to suffocate, and this is the biggest problem.

Is it possible that the chicks who are just dreaming of becoming hunters are not all psychopaths and are accustomed to killing?

I worry about where to stab, and feel pity for the faint expression on the dying monster’s face.

Due to hesitation due to various reasons, they are unable to stop breathing in time and endanger their own breathing.

That’s why those guys surround ranged dealers.

I wanted to make sure to kill the monster on behalf of myself, who would hesitate.

As Korea’s strongest melee dealer in the past, I’m not happy about this, but what can I do?

This is the path they have chosen, so they must persevere through evil.

Cheer up, chicks… !

Geundil’s father, Son Si-woo… Kim Do-jin, who was there, is rooting for you!

As I was rooting for them with a sad heart, an arm slipped around my shoulder.

When I turn my head to the side, I see Shin Yu-jeong smiling and putting her arm around not only me but also Lim Na-eun’s shoulders.

“Where should we go, pretty girls?”

Oh my, I’m so greedy.

Even just me is not enough, even Lim Na-eun.

Even just a little while ago, the kid said it was difficult to even help him put on his armor.

“I like it.”

Lim Na-eun, is she an angel? !

If it were me, I would have thrown away the guy who didn’t help me put on my armor in the locker room.

“Who will the other two be?”

“hmm… , the two of you are enough for the rearguard.”

His gaze stays on me.

“It doesn’t matter who the rest are, yeah.”

He looks like he’s already full just with me.

As long as he doesn’t do crazy things in front of me, it doesn’t really matter.

“Anyone among the kids I see… .”

When he says that.

A man suddenly jumped out from behind Shin Yu-jeong.

“Yudang, you haven’t found the party yet, right? “Come with me.”

I’m suddenly in a bad mood.

What is this, you bastard?
