The second quarter hunter qualification test took place over 4 days and 3 nights.

This test was generally okay.

It is of course difficult as it is a test to select the best, but at least there was no ‘Darkness Maze’ like last quarter, which caused a torrent of dropouts.

Kim Do-jin’s team members, who received a lot of attention from the start, recorded excellent results and survived well.

Considering their skills, this is natural.

But considering that this was a competition, it was quite a feat.

“Hey… “You did a good job assembling the team.”

“I know. Kim Do-jin, I think that friend is not only good at skills, but also has a good eye for perspective.”

“Look at how they survive despite such intensive control.”

“Skill is great, but venom is even greater. “Children like that live a long time even as hunters.”

Scouters’ evaluations watched through hundreds of monitors.

Kim Do-jin’s team members, who attracted attention even before the test began, were truly public enemies.

Many people joined hands to bring them down, and intervened in everything they did to keep them in check.

Heavy and heavy amulet.

There is a possibility that he may become distracted and shaken by the checks and balances of dozens or hundreds of opponents.

The team members used all their tricks and survived to the end, engraving their names at the top.

Thanks to this, the scouts’ eyes began to sparkle.

“Umm… , Not only Kim Do-jin, but they all don’t have a guild… .”

Everyone, including their leader Kim Do-jin, is invincible without a guild to which they belong.

This means that if we can persuade them well, there is a possibility that Kim Do-jin, who is considered a world-class prospect beyond Korea, and the team members he selected can be recruited all at once.

“Yes, manager. A recruitment list has been sent. Why is there a name for Kim Do-jin? If we select him, do you think all of this quarter’s prospects will line up and follow him?”

Even though the exam wasn’t over, they were already calling the guild.

Although there is still a final exam left, their passing is almost a foregone conclusion.

In such a crowded environment, only one person was sitting quietly looking at the monitor.

‘Hey, the bracket is fun.’

He was none other than Kim Do-jin.

When I secretly told the association that I wanted to see the team members in action, they even made me wear a disguise and put me here.

Thanks to this, I was able to see how I passed the exam over the course of 4 days and 3 nights.

Kim Do-jin’s rating table for them is:

‘I chose one person well.’

I was satisfied.

That’s how well they demonstrated their skills.

Even in an emergency situation, he calmly sought a solution without being nervous and led the flow based on this.

At this level, even in a dungeon, unless there is a tolerable crisis, you won’t be too embarrassed.

‘If only I grew up like this… , um.’

While I was leaving, I also thought about their future a little.

Unless you take a time machine and go to the future to see what they look like, you can’t be sure.

Assuming they don’t neglect training and progress like they are now.

‘At least the highest level A class must be easy going.’

The minimum is Class A, the highest level.

That means that depending on how they spend their time, they are fully capable of reaching S rank.

Some people might scoff.

There are only six S-rank hunters in Korea, so does it make sense that everyone on the team below one person has the potential to become S-rank?

‘Well, there’s nothing that can’t be done.’

The world is developing.

And along with this, the potential of hunters growing up is also improving with each generation.

It’s not enough to disparage the successful hunters of the past by calling them water rockets, but it is true that they have improved.

Even among the upwardly ranked talents, the team members selected by Kim Do-jin were exceptional.

No, I was selected because I was exceptional.

‘Did you pick it because it was pretty? ?’

I picked her because she was pretty, but maybe she was talented?

I’m not sure, but anyway.

They are exceptional talents even among students at Korean universities that only select bright students.

Wouldn’t it be even weirder if there was no possibility of becoming S-class?

‘The most uneasy thing among them… .’

Kim Do-jin’s eyes turn to one monitor.

The final task of this quarter’s Hunter Qualification Exam is a 1:1 tournament.

Shin Yu-jeong, who has reached the finals and is standing on stage.

‘I’m a little worried about him.’

Shin Yu-jeong is also more outstanding than other students at Korean universities.

However, he falls a little short among Kim Do-jin’s team members, which are made up of only exceptional people.

In fact, there was some affection involved in choosing her.

Of course, that doesn’t mean it falls much, but… , I’m a little worried.

She gets more enthusiasm by looking at people who are better than her.

By doing so, you push yourself even further and use it as a stepping stone for great growth.

It’s a really good process up to this point.

‘The problem is that if you follow it wrong, you may end up tearing your crotch.’

So far, it’s going well.

No, in fact, they even outpaced them and made it to the finals of the tournament.

But it will come someday.

The moment when a gap arises between Shin Yu-jeong and the other team members that cannot be bridged no matter how hard one tries.

Those who are struggling to somehow bridge the gap say two things.

‘Tear your crotch or spread your wings.’

Most people are frustrated because their legs are completely torn while trying to jump.

However, there are also a small number of people who occasionally grow wings that were previously missing and fly in the sky.

So Kim Do-jin was worried, but also curious.

What will happen to Shin Yu-jeong when that moment comes?

Will it collapse?

Or will I overcome that and get wings?

‘The first hurdle is now.’

Shin Yu-jeong arrived at the finals by defeating her opponent in a desperate attempt.

The opponent blocking her path is a crystal of sparkling talent.

It was Son Seo-yeon.

* * *

Shin Yoo-jeong reached the finals by defeating her opponent in a desperate attempt.

Among the opponents she defeated was her teammate Elena.

When she recalled that time, she frowned and shook her head.

‘I won’t fight with him anymore even if I die.’

It was so intense that I shudder just thinking about it.

Because each other’s defenses were so strong, they fought for an hour and 30 minutes.

Why did she win in the end?

This is because Shin Yu-jeong’s attack power was slightly superior to Elena’s.

‘Recently selling only swordsmanship has been helpful.’

And this was done at the recommendation of Kim Do-jin.

Shield skills are still not that bad, so sword skills should be at least comparable to that.

Thanks to that, I won.

‘A remarkable child.’

I feel like I want to run over and give him a kiss right now.

However, it is still too early to be overly happy.

Now that I have beaten my rival and reached the finals, I have faced an even bigger mountain.

“Please take care of me.”

Son Seo-yeon greets me with a simple tone of voice and expression.

Seeing her like that, Shin Yu-jeong smiled bitterly.

“I expected a senior to come up, but… .”

I expected it from the moment her name appeared on the other side of the bracket.

She will get a spot in the finals.

However, the spirit of the woman I met on the sparring field was stronger than I expected.

“You were a lot more passionate than you looked.”

It feels like my whole body is on fire from the burning eyes and energy.

I don’t think I was originally a person who showed this much enthusiasm.

“You’re not doing it because of Do-jin’s wish, are you?”

Even though I asked it jokingly, it was still funny.

There’s no way she, who lacks anything, would show such enthusiasm just because of a man’s wish… .

“that’s right.”

“… … ?”

Shin Yu-jeong looks at Son Seo-yeon with blank eyes and her mouth wide open.

what.

Is it a dream?

‘… No, it’s not a dream.’

The pressure of hundreds of pairs of eyes on the sparring field.

And Son Seo-yeon’s even greater presence blocks the escape from reality as a source.

Something feels uncomfortable.

Shin Yu-jeong asked, frowning at this.

“Sir, maybe… , Do you like Kim Do-jin?”

Son Seo-yeon freezes for a moment after hearing the question, but then shakes her head.

“no.”

I feel like it, but I don’t like it.

Rather, other emotions are bigger.

Respect, awe, things like that.

“is it so? I… again… .”

Shin Yu-jeong is relieved by her answer.

But why, isn’t there something like that?

You have to listen to the end to understand Korean.

That’s who she is now.

“Not yet.”

Shin Yu-jeong’s heart sinks at the words spoken a little late.

She asks in a confused tone.

“therefore… , not now… “You might like it later?”

“Exactly.”

That’s exactly what Son Seo-yeon wanted to say.

Isn’t it true that we don’t know what will happen in the world?

Of course, if I didn’t feel any emotions from him, I would have closed off the future.

‘I don’t know.’

Because the emotions I currently feel toward him are extremely positive.

Moreover, he looks a lot like my father.

And from a young age, she always said that she would marry her father when she grew up.

Has the ideal type from back then continued to this day and still has an influence? , something only she knows.

“ah.”

On the other hand, Shin Yu-jeong, who heard Son Seo-yeon’s answer, was looking up at the sky with a frown.

It sparkles in my eyes.

Kim Do-jin, who was fat in the past.

The reason I disliked him wasn’t because of his appearance.

I just didn’t like the indolent and lazy personality of staying in a corner of the room and doing nothing.

If you have the same personality now, I think I could love you passionately even if you were back then.

‘Should I gain weight again?’

She was seriously thinking.
