Crunch.

    Meanwhile, at that time, one of the [Crack Fields] managed by the Hunter Association.

    This place is set in an abandoned city center.

    Kuung-!

    A sharp cutting sound is heard, and a goral running on the broken road falls down with its upper and lower bodies separated.

    A C-class monster with half of its body made of machine parts, the ‘Mecha Gorani’.

    The waste grease flowing out of the clean cut surface gives off a foul odor.

    Kim Sa-rang, the only daughter of [Changcheon Sword Master], looked down at the monster she had killed with sharp eyes.

    “Hmm. I cut something useless.”

    Square. Square.

    He swung his beloved sword lightly.

    He shook off the oil from the blade and moved it around like he was removing a fish bone with chopsticks, removing the demon’s magic stone.

    She obtained the magic stone without spilling a single drop of oil on her hands.

    Kim Sa-rang looked at the test supervisor with her chest held high.

    “Test taker Kim Sa-rang, the condition of the collected magic stone… is good. No deduction of points. ”

    “Hmm.”

    “However, half of the herbs I brought earlier were inedible. This is a deduction.”

    “Hmm…”

    The supervisor’s cold evaluation.

    [Changcheon Sword Master] Her speech is very business-like, perhaps because she is the guild master’s daughter.

    Kim Sa-rang pouts and rubs her arm in depression.

    Well-developed muscles give a firm feel.

    It’s not the texture I want. Is there something soft about it?

    ‘I want to go to the galaxy and see it.’

    I’m starting to worry about Malankau, who was placed in another rift field alone.

    I wonder if someone is trying to hack into it.

    Wouldn’t the supervisor be captivated by Eunha’s beauty and give her the job?

    They are my family, and I even saved Jong-i.

    I liked it first.

    I have a lot of worries.

    “Ah …

    Just then, a scream erupted from the building next door.

    The test supervisor who was grading Kim Sa-rang’s scores hurriedly ran to where the sound was coming from.

    “Is this an attack by the Demonic Cult?”

    Kim Sa-rang, smiling brightly with the intention of fighting, followed the supervisor.

    I know.

    This is a development that frequently appears in her life novel, [The Reincarnation of the Sword Ghost].

    The protagonist runs after hearing a scream.

    There was Haomen’s Heavenly Horse Namgung Jin.

    The Taegeukwon displayed by Cheonma Namgung Jin was so powerful that it could split mountains, and the protagonist was almost defeated as he was dazzled by the scent of plum blossoms.

    But at that moment, a master of the divine sword union appeared as an assistant, and the protagonist swung the master of the divine sword union like a sword, forcing the Heavenly Demon Namgung Jin to retreat with the internal energy of two people.

    ‘So, Your Majesty… No, now is not the time to think about such things.’

    I thought about something else for a moment.

    Kim Sa-rang, who has come to her senses, runs to the building where screams are coming from.

    “Ugh…! Aaaah…!”

    Inside the ruined villa.

    A student is writhing in pain with one foot caught in the corpse of a barely-dealt-within-a-snake ‘Mecha Gorani’.

    Judging by the tears shed, I wonder if her feet are completely crushed.

    The supervisor who was checking the condition opened his mouth and adjusted his glasses.

    ” Yoo Ha-na, test taker. Do you need help? If you get help from the supervisor, the grading will be completed immediately…”

    “No…! No! I can… do it!”

    Yu Ha-na, a test taker, was startled by the supervisor’s words.

    He quickly used the spear he was holding as leverage to pull out the right foot that was trapped under the monster’s corpse.

    Every time I move my feet, I scream in pain.

    If another monster had smelled blood and come looking for me now, I would have been eaten without any resistance.

    Dalgrak…

    Yuhana, a test taker, took out an ’emergency recovery potion’ from her backpack and drank it.

    Perhaps to avoid failing the exam, he tried to get up and walk, but eventually he couldn’t overcome the pain and asked the supervisor for help.

    “… … Hmm.”

    Kim Sa-rang, who had been watching the scene while leaning against the wall, put her hand into the sleeve of her uniform and moved away.

    Thud, thud.

    The last part of the promotion test, [Crack Field] practice.

    The most important thing in this test is to avoid getting hurt as much as possible.

    Hunters must hunt monsters.

    Instead of fighting back.

    A person is someone who can be rendered incapacitated by even one arrow.

    The pain that stabs my brain makes me put down my weapon.

    The task of using limited materials to a minimum and performing a given task with maximum efficiency.

    In the case of Yu Ha-na, a test taker who had just injured her right foot, even if she had taken the test as is, her score would have been deducted in full.

    ‘Unless you’re a monster that can regenerate a leg in a matter of minutes if it gets cut off, or can run around fine even if you get a knife stuck in your stomach…’

    Kim Sa-rang, who shook her head hesitantly, looked up at the sky of [Crack Field].

    I wonder if Eunha is doing well.

    Isn’t she the kind of woman who can’t even open a can without ‘body strengthening’?

    She is so delicate.

    My heart aches as I imagine Malang Fist sitting there crying with his ankle twisted.

    ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

    Kkeuggeuk! Kkeuggeuk!

    “Keeaaah!!”

    “Yeah. It’s okay. It stings. It stings.”

    Ugh!

    “Ouch… Gulp! Stop struggling. My arm is broken. I think I’m going to die from the pain.”

    “Eungeaaah!!”

    ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

    anyway.

    Kim Sa-rang went through [The Crack Field] while worrying about Eun-ha, who was weak both physically and mentally.

    Around here, you can often see examinees and supervisors taking promotion exams.

    Among them, there are students wearing [Euncheon Academy] uniforms, such as Kim Sa-rang.

    “Hey. Isn’t that senior Kim Sa-rang over there?”

    “Huh?.. Wow, really. It looks scary.”

    Could they be Kim Sa-rang’s juniors?

    The sound of them whispering among themselves is captured by Kim Sa-rang’s beast-like hearing.

    “It’s scary, among the third year students at [Euncheon Academy], only Kim Sa-rang got a D grade? She kept failing the written exam and barely passed.”

    “Really? Then I’m going to fail today too… I was going to fail the written test anyway, so why did I come to the practical test… I was just being stupid and putting in all that effort…”

    A sound of contempt.

    But Kim Sa-rang proudly stood up straight, ignoring the gossip of her juniors.

    It made me laugh.

    They won’t know that they were taught by the galaxy.

    Every time Eunha leans in to teach something, she doesn’t know how it feels like one of her arms is buried in something soft.

    ( Galaxy, how can you smile like that? )

    (Think positively about everything. Even if you only think positive thoughts and live, there isn’t enough time.)

    Kim Sa-rang thought positively.

    Is there anyone else who has received private tutoring from Eunha besides herself?

    Thinking like that, I was able to straighten my shoulders proudly.

    ‘You have entered my heart. Even in the wind that blows, my heart is warm.’

    I’m glad I met Galaxy.

    I’ve always been happy since I met her.

    I need to finish the test quickly and go to [Goryongsan Crack Field] where the galaxy is.

    Since Eunha is much smarter than him, he will pass the test without a single speck of dust on his body or a single injury.

    Kim Sa-rang hurried her steps to find the next monster.

    … … .

    – There is a medicinal spring in the mountains. I don’t know who made it.

    – However, we need to think about why it is called ‘medicinal water’.

    – Try scooping up some water from the spring with a ladle.

    – If there are no impurities, you can drink it with confidence.

    – If there is hair in the bowl, rinse it in warm water and scoop it out again.

    – Welcome.

    – Come and drink some well-brewed medicinal water.

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

    “Why is there a medicinal spring in a place like this…”

    [Goryongsan Crack Field].

    A descent along a ridge with a clear view of a field of flowers filling the basin.

    The chief inspector of the potion lab and test supervisor, Choi Go-dok, walked hesitantly toward the ‘medicinal spring’ that was right in front of him.

    I feel unwell.

    Because I watched the galaxy fight the monsters and get covered in blood.

    How can someone be like that? Doesn’t it hurt?

    He had poor physical ability and no fighting skills, so he rushed at me as if he was going to kill me.

    But only the galaxy lived. It didn’t die.

    The chief poisoner didn’t have the courage to capture that woman.

    It’s not because I feel like I’ll lose if I fight.

    I don’t think I can win even if I fight.

    A crazy person of the type that you shouldn’t mess with.

    Because of that, he felt like his stomach was in a twisted state, so he approached the ‘medicinal spring’ that appeared before his eyes, saying that it was a good time.

    ‘There’s something like this inside the [crack field]… The water looks clean.’

    The appearance was ordinary.

    A medicinal spring that would likely be on a walking trail.

    Jororock…

    The place where the medicinal water collects looks like a well.

    A wooden roof that blocks the rain casts a shadow over the ‘well’.

    Jororock…

    Clear groundwater flowing through cracks in broken rocks.

    A bright red bowl floats in a ‘well’ carved out of stone.

    ‘Wow, red buckets. They’re really everywhere.’

    It was a spring that could be found on any hiking trail, except that the ‘well’ containing the spring water looked strangely deep.

    ‘Original’ also seems tired from fighting the monsters… Let’s rest here for a moment.

    The chief poisoner picked up the red bowl placed next to the spring.

    “Oh, it’s cold in October. Is it because the wind is blowing near the water?”

    Jororock…

    There is no need to worry about drinking water from the [Crack Field].

    The ‘material supply team’ of the potion lab where the best poison works was a department that procured all kinds of materials to be used in potions.

    That’s why he entered the department with the [Liquid Purification] skill.

    Even the Supreme Poison himself doesn’t really know what the standard for purification is,

    At least we can make drinkable water.

    The chief poisoner scooped up the medicinal water from the ‘well’ with a ladle.

    Chook-.

    Clean water.

    I used the [Liquid Purification] skill on the poured medicinal water.

    Then, he tilted the bowl containing the purified ‘medicinal water’ back and forth… and drank by putting his mouth on the handle of the bowl.

    Gulp…

    “Wow…! What is this? It’s so delicious.”

    The poisonous man who drank the medicinal water opened his eyes wide in surprise.

    Can water be this delicious?

    It tastes refreshing, like water boiled with anchovies or bones.

    Not only that, but watching the fight between the ‘original’, the twisted speed was completely healed.

    Indeed, it seems to have medicinal properties, just as its name suggests.

    ‘Just a little more…’

    The water level of the ‘well’ has slightly dropped.

    The chief poisoner scooped up the ‘medicinal water’ with a ladle.

    Chook-.

    There is hair in the bright red bowl.

    It’s not hair loss, is it?

    I tried pulling my own hair lightly.

    Then he drank the ‘medicinal water’ from the bowl.

    Gulp.

    I felt thirsty after drinking the delicious medicinal water.

    The water level of the ‘well’, which had become lower than before, reflected his face.

    The chief poisoner felt thirsty and scooped up some ‘medicinal water’.

    Chook-.

    The bowl contains dozens of strands of hair.

    Long… woman’s hair.

    I don’t know. I’m thirsty.

    The chief poisoner tilted his bright red bowl.

    Gulp.

    Drinking the delicious ‘medicinal water’ gave me strength.

    It seems like I can subdue even the ‘original’ that looked like a monster in one go.

    The water level of the ‘well’ has dropped even further.

    I can drink more.

    The chief poisoner felt a burning thirst and scooped up the ‘medicinal water’.

    Chook-.

    A bright red bowl.

    He scoops up the bloody liquid that is tangled with his hair.

    I can’t stop. I’m so thirsty.

    As if someone was draining blood from his body.

    Gulp.

    The best poison drank the ‘medicinal water’.

    I need to drink more.

    ‘Yaksu’ gives him strong pleasure.

    I feel like I have the world.

    Since you used the [Liquid Purification] skill, it is not a narcotic ingredient.

    So let’s drink more. It’s safe water.

    Chook-.

    The water level of the ‘well’ has dropped even further.

    The top poison pushed itself into the ‘well’ and drew out the ‘medicinal water’.

    The bright red bowl contains hair, flesh, and someone’s eyeball.

    I’m thirsty.

    You must drink ‘medicinal water’.

    Gulp.

    I tipped the bowl.

    it’s good.

    Let’s drink more.

    I’m thirsty.

    The water level of the ‘well’ has dropped even further.

    He leaned into the well to draw up some ‘medicinal water’.

    But the bowl did not reach the ‘sleep’ that had become too low.

    just a little.

    Just a little more.

    The top poison leaned over…

    Splashㅡㅡ!!

    Fall into a well containing ‘medicinal water’.

    Gulp…

    Just a moment of rising bubble sound.

    The water level of the lowered ‘well’ returned to its original height.

    Round…

    A bright red bowl floats in the transparent ‘medicinal water’.

    “… … .”

    A medicinal spring deep in the mountains.

    The water from the spring never dries up.

    only.

    That’s all there is to it.

    … … .

    … … .

    … … Crap-!!

    “Oh, what is this? I’ll let you pass and go.”

    And then, after a while.

    Galaxy, who ran in a panic, grabbed the ankle of the best poisoner who was sinking into the well.

    By attaching the ‘1++ Sticker’, a lightweight artifact that was attached to the carrier, to his body, he was somehow pulled up from the well.

    … … .

    “Hoo… Hoo… Are you okay, Achilles?”

    “Cough! Kehek!”

    Galaxy grabbed the ankle of the top poison and pulled it out of the well.

    Fortunately, artificial respiration was not necessary.

    Eunha looked down at the top poison supervisor who was spitting out ‘medicinal water’ while groaning and smiled complicatedly.

    I was worried about the test supervisor who suddenly disappeared and looked around.

    But it’s nowhere to be seen,

    After wandering around here and there,

    She meets [Bug Princess] who was hiding behind a tree and watching her.

    With her help, I entered the ‘world of monsters’ just in case.

    They found the top poison supervisor throwing himself into the ‘medicinal water well’.

    ‘Fortunately, I was able to save him before anything serious happened… but why did this guy open his eyes? I didn’t show him the guidebook.’

    He began to worry, touching the corners of his stiff lips.

    Why did that supervisor ‘recognize’ the monster?

    ( “We recommend that you do not misuse our items, Miss.” )

    One day, Eunha came to the security office with a saw without any fear.

    The old security guard said that with a kind smile.

    ‘No way… I’m using a saw?…… I’m a human?’

    What comes to mind is the ‘pills’ that [the black person] had been giving me all along.

    And the [Self-Recovery] skill that returns to the ‘original form’.

    Why does it have to be a pill?

    Did you want to cure something?

    What is your ‘original self’?

    ‘What the heck am I?’

    I couldn’t figure it out.

    Eunha kicked the thigh of the fallen Supreme Commander.

    Today’s promotion test was strange from the start.

    She was assigned to [Goryongsan Crack Field] alone, and an additional supervisor was sent to the potion dispensary.

    “Excuse me. Are you here to kidnap me?”

    “Cluck! Cluck!”

    He doesn’t seem to have the presence of mind to listen to the galaxy.

    But given the circumstances, it’s likely a kidnapping.

    ha…

    I was sick of it.

    It’s been quiet lately, but is it starting again?

    I was afraid that I would hurt the people at the cafe, so I pressed my throbbing temples.

    ‘It was like this at the last [Cheorwon Crack Field]… Or should I just catch this supervisor and go in myself?’

    And I thought.

    Should I get kidnapped?

    Eunha stared blankly at the carrier containing the [Black Book].

    To be honest, I don’t think it would be a big deal if I was kidnapped.

    Where can I confine myself?

    If you stay at Eun Bang-ul or Kim Sa-rang’s house for just one day, monsters will come and say hello?

    ‘You’re saying there’s only one daily leave ticket?’

    How about going to the potion pharmacy and negotiating?

    It doesn’t feel like I’m going to die, and no matter where I’m locked up, it feels like the monsters will open the door and come out after a day.

    Even if my throat is cut off and I’m sealed in a glass bottle or something… I wonder if I won’t come to my senses at [Red Woman’s] house in room 606.

    ( “Can you see it? It’s the world you changed.” )

    What I wish for is the safety of the people around me.

    Like a flower bud blooming from the remains of a fallen kingdom in [Gyo-ryong-san Crack Field].

    I want to change it with my own power.

    ‘Then first… I’ll have to deal with that potion lab supervisor… Instead of being kidnapped, I’ll ask him to give me a high score on the promotion test.’

    The play.

    There are many ways.

    Eunha quietly lifted her saw and looked at the Supreme Commander.

    It’s negotiation time.
