The body is light.

It’s like my intestines are gone.

My mind is dizzy and my vision is blurry.

Am I dreaming?

Eunha felt good.

“Eunha, 3 km run… 11 minutes and 30 seconds. Passed!”

“Ugh…!”

dump!

Promotion test practical skills.

After completing the 3km run, the last part of the physical fitness test, Eunha knelt down on the dirt floor with a single scream.

I feel like dying. But it doesn’t die.

I was so distracted that I don’t even remember how I did the physical fitness test.

At one moment he was doing push-ups, at another moment he was running and rolling around on the dirt floor.

Rather good.

The shorter the painful moment, the better.

“Hmph…! Sigh…!”

Eunha put her hand inside her black vest and wrapped it around her body.

I can’t breathe because of the overwhelming pain.

I feel like a watermelon being eaten by a spoon.

Feeling your stomach, which is as thin as someone who has starved for a few days, is quite unpleasant and something you never want to experience again.

Sagagagagak-!

The sound of ‘Fly’ jumping excitedly.

It comes from the whole body, not from the stomach.

This was because I wanted to make sure that I was going to lose weight, so I fed it a slightly different amount of food.

The vest that was uncomfortable at first is now baggy.

“Whoo! Whoo!”

Digestive organs, kidneys, liver, which were unnecessary for the test… Surprisingly, the liver was heavy.

It was amazing to feel my body becoming lighter in real time.

Sagagak-!

By the time my ribs disappeared one by one from below, the pain was so bad that I couldn’t breathe.

So I also fed my lungs.

As I was suffocating, the pain was dispersed throughout my body, so I was able to survive, and I passed the wailing physical strength test one by one without any ‘body strengthening’.

I felt the urge to give up dozens of times, but I gritted my teeth and held on, feeling like a mother who brought warm sundae to her babies who were waiting at home.

I was able to successfully complete the treatment thanks to the ‘Fly’, which moves quickly every time you tap on various parts of the body without touching the skin.

‘Whoa… I thought I was going to die.’

Is it because of that? Her condition was obviously not good, with no trace of blood on her face.

It’s hard to believe that this is someone who just sprinted 10km.

“Eunha! Are you okay?”

“Hmm…! It’s okay… It’s okay!”

The test proctor, who was measuring the time with a stopwatch, hurriedly rushed over with the first aid kit that had been left nearby.

From the beginning of the physical fitness test, she was keeping a close eye on Eunha, who had a bad expression on her face.

The supervisor, who raised his stern-looking horn-rimmed glasses with his thumb and middle finger, approached Eunha, who was curled up on the ground, and groped her back.

“Why is his body so wet? I told him to tell me if he was tired!”

“Hehe… Are you going to disqualify me if I raise my hand during the test? Just go bald.”

“But your mouth is still alive. Drink the potion. I’ll take you to the emergency room right away.”

“You’ll get better if you rest for a while.”

Eunha pushed away the test proctor’s hand who was trying to check her pulse and stood up, moving her shaky legs.

Because my blood pressure dropped, I felt extremely dizzy, but I was able to handle it.

“So what are the results?”

“……I passed the physical fitness test. Now I just have to take the rest of the test at the [Artificial Crack Field].”

“You’re fighting a [artificial monster], right?”

“Why are you asking when you know? More than that, about your physical condition… What, when did your complexion come back like this?”

“I told you. It’s okay.”

Eunha lightly pushed away the ‘Emergency Recovery Potion’ handed to her by the test proctor and looked around, repeating the word ‘pass’ several times.

A basic physical fitness test in which test takers of all grades participate.

Eunha was the last runner in the 3km run.

Other test takers, who had easily completed the race thanks to ‘body strength’ and ‘skill’, were taking a break while wiping the sweat from their foreheads, and because of this, Eunha, who came in last place, received a lot of unnecessary attention and had to fight with the test proctor. did.

But I’m glad.

Anyway, I passed, right?

That’s enough.

“Tsk… Do you know where the [Artificial Rift Field] is? I’m on my way too. Do you want to go with me?”

“I’ll go alone to get some fresh air.”

“…Okay, take care of yourself. We’ll definitely go to a company dinner this month. She’s feeding us a lot of beef.”

“Oh yeah.”

Eunha took a deep breath with her regenerated lungs and chatted with the test proctor.

The supervisor has a face as strict as his sharp eyes, but he still seems to have a round personality, so he sneaks an ’emergency recovery potion’ into Eunha’s pants pocket without anyone knowing and quickly leaves.

A potion with the modifier ’emergency’ must be quite expensive… He is a more affectionate person than he looks.

Eunha bowed her head as she watched the back of the supervisor walking away.

Because of [self-recovery], drugs such as painkillers and potions are ineffective for the body, but the heart is what is important in this gift.

Grumbling…

Eunha took out her suitcase from the locker at the entrance and looked around the practical test room with a confused mind.

Aside from the pain, passing the physical fitness test again is a new feeling.

It feels like watching the cliff that has tormented you for the past three years collapse.

“Haha! Hey, you lie down while running the 100m? That’s so fucking funny.”

“The scouts are watching over there. If you’re ordinary, you won’t get any attention.”

“Attention? My dad is the guild leader, so why does he get attention from scouts?”

“That’s your situation. You idiot have never even written a personal statement.”

In the playground, which was so large that it reminded me of an amphitheater, more test takers were concentrating on their exams than last month.

Prospective E-class hunters who have already completed the physical fitness test and are preparing to return with a smile.

The remaining hunters heading to the [Artificial Rift Center] for the next test, and the academy students gathered among themselves and talking loudly.

And… far away in the vacant lot, guild scouts in the stands are grading test takers’ scores.

‘Guild Scouter… I always looked at the ground in this testing center because I was afraid of those people looking at me…’

I lower my head like a habit. But it’s okay now.

Eunha raised her head stiffly and glared harshly at the scouts in the audience.

Hunter Jeong So-ra, a guild scout belonging to [Changcheon Swordsman] who was sitting at the head of the table, was waving his hand.

… … Who are you waving to?

Eunha looked around.

Perhaps because the name of the large guild [Changcheon Swordsman] is worthy of its name, several test takers wave their hands at Jeong So-ra.

I don’t know what to do with that embarrassment, if not to say hello to myself.

Eun-ha, who did not want to experience such embarrassment, left the exam room while trying to ignore Jeong So-ra, who was waving from afar.

Sagagakㅡ.

The sound of insect footsteps.

‘Fly’, who has successfully completed his work, rubs his body against the stomach wall and shows affection.

‘Okay then…’

Eunha, who was walking down the hallway of the association with a weak gait, caressed her smooth abdomen.

Most of the wounds on my body have already healed.

Even the baggy vest had become so bulky that it was frustrating.

When I return to my original weight, I feel my whole body becoming heavy, as if I were wearing large shackles.

Sagagakㅡ.

A pounding sound in the stomach.

On the way to the [Artificial Rift Field], Eunha reflected on the rules of the [Black Book].

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

X. XXX XX XXX X.

– A name is an identity.

​

– If you want to stop singing, call their name.

– However, the name should not be confused.

​

​

7. A liar has appeared!

– Everyone be careful!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

​

I can finally stop singing.

The babies who went into [Bug Princess]’s house without permission and came out…

Now that I’ve successfully completed my intended physical fitness test, it’s time to say goodbye to the stomachache that’s been going on for several days.

Of course, I have a feeling that I’m going through a lot of trouble that I shouldn’t have to go through, but I don’t worry about the small details.

Thanks to these kids, didn’t they pass the physical fitness test without even ‘body strengthening’?

I will pour the mana I saved here into the [artificial monster] sparring and pass safely.

Although it was a terrible time that I never want to repeat,

If you think you’ve created an unforgettable memory… I think it’s a pretty good deal.

Because good things are good.

‘I’m sad to actually bring it up…’

Eunha, who was gently caressing the area around the stomach where the children were, pursed her lips.

Something is disappointing. Is it okay to take the children out like this?

It hurts so much that he seems to have lost his mind.

Sagagakㅡ.

The sound of insect footsteps inside my body sounds somewhat pitiful.

Images of baby birds being kicked out of their homes… or bugs being kicked out of a five-star buffet come to mind.

Eunha thought.

Can I take it out right here?

Isn’t it a situation where we don’t know how the unborn children will come out?

What if the ‘fly’ breaks through the ship?

Can not be done. The Hunters Association becomes a filming location for a science fiction movie.

If you make a mistake, the promotion test may be canceled and you may have to take that hellish physical fitness test again.

‘… … okay. Let’s go home and release him.’

In the end, I decided to leave ‘Fly’ for a while.

After the exam, let’s solve it at home. I am waiting with an excited heart like a gift left behind by Santa.

Excited. Excited. Excited.

My heart races as I imagine strange bugs coming out of my stomach.

Is that really possible?

“Ah! I found it! Eunha~!”

At that time, a woman in uniform approached Eunha from the direction of the practical test site.

This is scout Jeong So-ra, with the symbol of [Changcheon Sword House] engraved on her stylish uniform.

She appeared in a strange manner, holding on to the other sleeve with both hands, as if the fluttering cotton sleeve was getting in her way.

“hello.”

“Phew~. I waved at you earlier, but you didn’t see me. I came to say hello. Congratulations on passing the physical fitness test.”

Jeong So-ra carefully holds Eunha’s hand and congratulates her with a kind smile.

“Can the guild scout be here?”

“I’m at work… I’m here to take care of the gemstone that shines the most during this promotion exam.”

Jeong So-ra’s words, winking and flattering, came across as quite pleasing.

When a pretty person says pretty things, the power of persuasion is amazing.

Eunha walked side by side with Jeong So-ra, who naturally matched her stride, and talked about the promotion exam.

Drurrr. The sound of the suitcase’s wheels repeats timidly.

“This test was also really cool. I could see from his expression that he was desperate to even do a single push-up. The way he does his best even for the smallest things… It’s not something that just anyone can do.”

“I was prepared to die.”

“Right~! Hunters, of course, have to risk their lives! I don’t know how many people hunt for money these days. They only believe in skills and they easily look at hunters?”

So-ra Jeong took out the ‘Emergency Recovery Potion’ from the inside pocket of her uniform and put the potion into Eun-ha’s pants pocket.

However, the potion that the test proctor had already put in the pocket was not in Jeong So-ra’s, so she had no choice but to stuff it in the other pocket.

What is it? I hope they don’t hand out this expensive potion like a vitamin drink.

“Drink it on the way. I’ve been feeling bad since the physical fitness test.”

“I’ll drink it well.”

“……I don’t know if the advice I gave you at the restaurant was helpful.”

Jeong So-ra adjusts the black vest Eunha is wearing and straightens her angles.

It seemed as if he was waiting for Eunha’s answer as he glanced at him secretly.

I received advice on ‘body strengthening’ at [Euncheon Restaurant].

It was difficult to give an answer as ‘physical enhancement’ was not yet used in the test, but it is true that the guild scouter’s professional opinion was helpful.

Therefore, Eunha smiled languidly and nodded.

Jeong So-ra, who seemed to have gotten the desired response, smiled in satisfaction and opened her mouth while straightening Eunha’s clothes.

“The level of difficulty up to the D level test is not difficult, so don’t be nervous. It’s the level just before C level, which is classified as real combat personnel… It’s a test for ‘prospective hunters.’”

“If you are a hunter, what is the reserve for a hunter?”

“……Eunha, have you ever killed a small puppy? Or have you ever suffocated a wild boar caught in a trap?”

Beep–.

Jeong So-ra took out her cell phone from her uniform pocket and showed a photo.

This is a photo of a cute poodle-like puppy that doesn’t look like it’s even 4 months old.

“It’s a B-class monster that lives in a [crack field] in England. It’s a very ferocious thing that doesn’t match its cute appearance. It feeds on the blood of living creatures, and when it encounters an enemy, it shoots metal pieces from its mouth like bullets?”

“okay.”

“If you hesitate to kill it because it’s cute, you’ll get seriously hurt.”

Jeong So-ra says that a D-class hunter is in the stage of becoming a hunter in earnest… and getting used to killing things.

Since it is a life-threatening job, it is not recommended to those who are not suited for it.

In addition, most guilds recommend periodic mental counseling for guild members…

Nevertheless, quite a lot of people hope to become hunters.

He is an entertainer with brilliant skills and a high-income class who has accumulated a lot of wealth.

Because he is a hero who saves citizens from villains and monsters.

“Fight without hesitation. It’s not just the hunter’s combat ability that the test proctor evaluates.”

“…Thank you for the advice. Thanks to you, I will be able to pass.”

“Haha, I was being too lazy, wasn’t I?”

Jeong So-ra stops walking with a bright smile.

She steps away from Eunha and waves her hand in a polite gesture.

“It’s a long story… I’ll be cheering you on from afar, so make sure you pass the D-level exam! We, [Changcheon Swordsmen], are rooting for Eunha!”

Scouter Jeong So-ra left behind meaningful words and kept her kind face until the end.

Eunha, who had been pondering Jeong So-ra’s words for a while, pouted her lips.

It’s really difficult to talk.

Fight without hesitation?

This is not much needed advice for Eunha, who has already lost two [Blue Dragon Energy] employees.

Wasn’t this advice given to mites who didn’t have a drop of blood on their hands?

That’s funny. Even though everyone hesitates to kill at first, once they get used to it, they take life without blinking an eye.

‘Well… what’s good is good. That’s how much Hunter Jeong So-ra cares about me.’

In the end, isn’t it enough to just beat up the [artificial monster] without hesitation?

Thanks to you, I gained courage.

Eunha walked down the hallway of the association with light steps, thinking about beating the cute monster with a baseball bat.

“It’s dyed yellow, yellow~.”

Grumbling……

Two dots under her eyes drip like blood.
