episode_0159

Lim Jae-ho recalled the image of Jeong Woon-kyung, whom he had watched for several days.

Of course, I kept my fox ears hidden until the battle.

This guy has been wearing fox ears ever since he joined the Hunter class.

‘Training like this should sharpen your senses. So it’s not strange.’

Originally, sub-race cadets tend to hide their animal ears that reveal their sub-race when they are pregnant.

However, Lim Jae-ho is also deliberately showing off his wolf ears.

That’s because it’s advantageous when moving in dangerous dungeons like the current Demonic Section.

Jeong Woon-kyung’s reasons were probably similar to Lim Jae-ho’s.

‘Anyway, all the cadets in this class know that Jeong Woon-kyung is from the demon tribe.’

On the contrary, I saw that the female cadets really liked the handsome Jeong Woon-kyung, who said he had become cuter.

There were many female cadets who openly expressed their liking for Jeong Woon-kyung.

‘In Jeong Si-woo’s words. Jeong Woon-kyung said he did it because it wasn’t particularly dangerous.’

In fact, the most popular person was said to be Lee Jun-woo.

But even Lim Jae-ho knows nothing about human romantic feelings.

I know better than anyone else how valuable Lee Jun-woo is today.

Female cadets, please do not cause any disruption in the class.

Rather, I didn’t know that he was only pretending to have a rational interest in Jeong Woon-kyung.

‘what. ‘Does everyone know that Choi Hana is no match for her as a woman?’

But that kind of reaction doesn’t matter to Lim Jae-ho.

I just thought the human women’s reaction was too fussy.

However, Jeong Woon-kyung’s reaction over the past few days was a bit suspicious.

After this training started.

I happened to see Jeong Woon-kyung looking at Lee Jun-woo.

Every time that happened, Jeong Woon-kyung’s fox ears became strangely droopy.

Foxes are definitely canines too.

As such, Lim Jae-ho knew well the meaning of the fox ears drooping.

‘It’s definitely a sign of goodwill.’

At one time, it was a bit strange that the operator of Aegis expressed interest in Lee Jun-woo.

Of course, that reaction is very brief.

Only Lim Jae-ho, who was of the same sub-race, noticed it.

Clearly, Jeong Woon-kyung was a man.

The reason such a man expresses interest in Lee Jun-woo, who is of the same sex.

As Lim Jae-ho, a werewolf, I didn’t quite understand.

That was before I heard Jeong Si-woo’s words.

“Woon-kyung Jeong is a woman?”

“Yes. Like the weight of those footprints. Although it is hidden, it is a strangely feminine gesture. It’s definitely a girl.”

Originally, Jeong Si-woo was a guy who said a lot of strange things.

It all made sense.

‘I also thought Jeong Woon-kyung was too feminine for a man. no way…’

Jeong Si-woo’s words convinced me that Jeong Woon-kyung was a woman.

And I was surprised again.

‘Yoho women have very high standards when choosing men. Unless you’re someone to play with for a while.’

A strictly matriarchal society.

In addition, the Yoho tribe is a sub-race with a clear hierarchical culture centered on nobility.

I don’t know much about Jeong Woon-kyung.

Just by looking at his appearance and atmosphere, it is clear that he is from a noble family.

‘That girl from the demon tribe… looks at Junwoo like that.’

Although it is understandable that a human woman would like Lee Jun-woo.

Seeing that even the demon tribe was fascinated, Lim Jae-ho was secretly impressed.

‘If he has this level of charm… after all, Junwoo is not someone who can be satisfied with being a cadet leader.’

If we compare it to a werewolf, it has the capacity of a leader to lead a tribe.

Having numerous women represents one’s power.

Once again, I couldn’t help but evaluate Lee Jun-woo even more highly.

‘In fact, the current Hunter Class 1 group led by Junwoo… there was not a single person who gave up or was eliminated. It’s amazing, really.’

It wasn’t just because of the academy competition or the status of a finalist.

Everyone here has first-hand experience with a person named Lee Jun-woo.

‘Even I, a werewolf… I’ve never met a leader of that caliber.’

Not forced obedience from above.

The man who naturally made me yearn to follow him was Lee Jun-woo.

At that time, Jeong Si-woo spoke to him as if he had suddenly remembered something.

“If there are really that many women targeting him like that… Will Junwoo change his lover again? From An Yu-min to Choi Ha-na… is it now Jeong Woon-kyung? As expected, Junwoo is amazing. I also love freely like that…”

“What bullshit.”

Again, Jeong Si-woo said something strange.

I definitely knew that Lee Jun-woo was popular among fellow cadets.

Lim Jae-ho is also a werewolf.

I knew how carefully the leader chose his cronies.

‘It seems to me that Junwoo only sees one person.’

Jeong Si-woo doesn’t seem to notice.

During the cadet competition, Lee Jun-woo took great care of Choi Hana, who was the manager of Ignition, knowingly or unknowingly.

Just look at that attitude.

It was clear that Choi Hana was a special person to Lee Jun-woo.

And that moment.

Another female cadet looking at Choi Hana.

Lim Jae-ho glanced at An Yu-min.

‘Ahn Yu-min…’

A scary prosecutor who even Lim Jae-ho is not confident of defeating.

And with the intuition of a sub-race, I was able to sense to some extent the uncomfortable relationship between An Yu-min and Lee Jun-woo.

Ahn Yu-min is no different from Lee Jun-woo’s ex-girlfriend.

‘Being too popular isn’t necessarily a good thing.’

An Yu-min is not the type of person who gets along well with people.

Because Aigis was so famous.

Even after joining Hunter Class, there were quite a few cadets who looked up to her.

Rather, because of the strange atmosphere between Lee Jun-woo and Choi Hana.

The popularity of soloist Ahn Yu-min was increasing among male cadets.

‘Well… I don’t think An Yu-min will be interested in another man.’

That’s enough of the random thoughts.

There is a role assigned to Lee Jun-woo.

Lim Jae-ho once again pledged to focus on that role.

“Be careful. I’m halfway to the assigned section. Boss level monsters may appear from now on.”

Just then, Lee Jun-woo warned everyone in Group 1.

‘You can’t hold back Junwoo.’

Like that warning. Beyond the endless subway tracks, an ominous spirit was growing thicker.

Jaeho Lim concentrated sharper mana on his claw blades.

***

We have reached about half of the section of Ma.

Even I thought there would be a few people eliminated.

It was unexpected. So far, all cadets have survived.

‘Well, I guess everyone is following what I say.’

That fact was important.

True Opposition. There are fewer human resources than that hero class.

Whoever survived at least one person had an advantage in carrying out the dungeon’s mission.

In the case of the Apostles, there are members who hold you back, and even members of the same group can be despised.

Party members who were not combat agents had their own roles.

‘Even if it’s just helping build a camp or at least cooking. Because morale in the dungeon goes up a lot.’

But it was different from now on.

A time when the hero class has a clear advantage.

A boss-level monster will appear every time you cross the tracks or pass through a closed subway station.

“Damn. Slowly, immune monsters appear.”

Jeong Si-woo took charge of the scouting for a while, took care of a few monsters on the front line, and returned.

“Immune monster…”

It was not good news.

Powers and skills.

Those two things definitely had properties.

My main skills are currently focused on fire spells.

Therefore, monsters with fire attribute immunity become very difficult to deal with.

‘The same goes for ice attribute immunity.’

Currently, the cadet in charge of the most powerful firepower in Group 1, including myself, is Ahn Yu-min.

Unless her freezing sword attack doesn’t work.

With the already small dealer pool, it becomes even more difficult to break through the magic section.

‘There is Jaeho, but…’

As expected, Jeong Si-woo’s expression was not good.

“I deliberately tried to memorize all the properties. Among them, there were physically immune monsters. Maybe I should just hope for luck for now.”

Lim Jae-ho, a damage tank who doesn’t rely much on his attributes.

This means that even Jaeho’s physical attacks can be blocked.

Jeong Woon-kyung also carefully approached me and spoke.

“It is extremely rare for dungeons encountered at cadet level to have immune monsters. However, if immune monsters appear from the middle section, the difficulty of the attack becomes…”

She was right.

Instructor Lee Su-yeon was also obsessed with developing multi-attribute powers.

In the end, it was to prepare for the current situation.

‘The light and dark attributes do not significantly affect immunity, but…’

Light and darkness attributes are not common as attributes.

Immune monsters are even rarer.

However, in the meantime, I abandoned the Paladin class and trained as a pyromancer in order to grow quickly and increase firepower.

In the end, if you can’t afford it with the existing method.

There is only one way.

‘I need to break through my limits.’

3rd awakening.

If the awakening is successful, attacks regardless of attribute will be possible.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-

And again, a vibration sound was heard beyond another connected subway passage.

“Hero class. It looks like you are dealing with a boss monster noisily.”

Jeong Woon-kyung’s impressions were not much different from mine.

“In the mid-term briefing, I also received their survival status and treatment records. As expected, it’s overwhelming. The hero class and Yoon Geon-woo.”

I also checked the interim briefing that Jeong Woon-kyung mentioned.

When we reached the halfway point of Ma’s section, the midway status was sent from Theia’s board of directors.

‘Are you asking me to feel the gap between the two classes?’

Although he survived for the same number of days.

They are far ahead in the breakthrough section.

Number of monster kills. Even the total amount of damage was not compared.

And at the end of the status, there was a signature line for consent to enter the second half of the section.

‘It’s possible to give up training.’

There was also a message written that even if the training was completed as is, there would be no disadvantages and sufficient compensation would be provided.

However, if you continue training like this and fail.

There is no reward whatsoever, and it is also stated that a penalty may be given for mission failure.

Jeong Un-gyeong’s expression darkened as he understood its meaning.

“Still, it’s been quite a struggle just to get this far with the tools we have. If it weren’t for Lee Jun-woo’s direction…”

As I remained silent, Jeong Woon-kyung, who misunderstood my intention, comforted me.

But I shook my head.

“No. Our goal does not end here.”

All the cadets had their eyes on me at that moment.

“Because the goal of group 1 is to finish.”

The current training is conducted under Theia.

The results of that training are proof of qualifications to obtain the remaining three sacred skills of Letisane.

Of course, I had no intention of giving up here.

As expected, the first group of cadets murmured at my words.

***

Meanwhile, Theia Academy hero class.

They had already surpassed 70% of Ma’s team.

The person who stands at the forefront is, of course, True Opposition member Yoon Geon-woo.

But he didn’t seem to be in a good mood.

Theia’s Hunter class, which was thought to be a bug.

This is because they confirmed the mid-term briefing that they had passed half of the magic section.

“Well, there’s nothing to worry about! It’s obvious that they already used all their resources to get there! This is probably the limit now. You can find out by checking the briefing message there. Since it was possible to give up midway, everyone would have retired, right?”

Another Apostle’s highest-ranking executive and a hero class cadet.

Song Ji-min looked at Yoon Geon-woo’s expression and spoke confidently.

“Everyone overestimates Lee Jun-woo! No matter what, there’s no way they can deal with us, the best of True Opposition, right?”

Song Ji-min spoke in an arrogant voice as always.

Ever since Song Xia joined the hero class.

Song Ji-min was even more conscious of his cousin.

Although that behavior was annoying. Yoon Geon-woo held back in his heart.

Even though he has nothing to fear in the world.

You can’t mess with Song Yu-hwan’s nephew.

‘Fucking bitch. ‘I warned you not to talk about Lee Jun-woo in front of me…’

And when the name Lee Jun-woo came up, I felt Song Xia glance at me.

This is the princess who has no interest in anything in the hero class.

Although I don’t really have romantic feelings for Song Si-ah.

The reason that arrogant young lady shows interest in Lee Jun-woo so openly.

It was also an act that deeply offended the proud Yoon Geon-woo.

‘Lee Jun-woo… the hell is this guy…’

Just the briefing in between.

The result was something that could never be produced by a Hunter class cadet. An impossible result that makes you believe it was fabricated.

Yoon Geon-woo thought about the evaluation he had made of Lee Jun-woo once again.
