“Next~Participation number 100~ Cadet Yoo Se-ha~Please come out~”

I stood up from the campaign spot at Sarangmi’s call.

“Muaa! Cheer up, Sehaya.”

“Yong-ah! Cheer up!”

Mnyangi and Joo Na-yong’s yongmeaaah cheering.

Bora Moon, who was coming up, smiled and muttered softly, ‘Cheer up.’

“I’ll be back.”

Of course, after answering, his gaze did not leave the fingertips that Moon Bo-ra was secretly hiding.

Jump and jump.

Move forward one step at a time.

‘… Strangely, my eyes are focused on me.’

It was the same with Moon Bo-ra, but I thought her gaze was particularly stinging.

This was all for a reason.

This is because about 20% of those currently sitting were made up of outsiders, not cadets.

And these are not just civilians with no knowledge, but professional sales teams sitting under the permission of the .

In other words, they were commonly referred to as agents.

Most of them were composed of at least mid-level team leaders dispatched from , , and even .

Their job was to discover gemstones with brilliant talent and ultimately craft them into jewels.

Therefore, more than anything else, I was thirsty for the emergence of talented people who showed off their strong talent.

And Yu Se-ha, who is walking now, was one of those rough stones for them.

―… Is that the kid? Other than its appearance, there doesn’t seem to be anything special about it.

―Team Leader Yoon. Are your eyes knotholes? Can’t you see the magical prayers boiling inside me right now? It’s such an amount that it’s hard to believe that this is a first year student.

―It is true that he is amazing for a man, but… However, I don’t know if he is a genius who can bring that much attention. Crucially, the amount of horsepower seems to be just average.

―… you. Are you still stuck in such old-fashioned thinking? It is true that men are relatively lacking in the amount of magical power they are born with, but there are always exceptions. Just look at Assistant Manager Seo who is on our team right now…

-Okay, everyone. I feel embarrassed looking at the cadets. Let’s calm down and watch.

There was a murmur, but Yu Se-ha didn’t pay any attention.

I went up to the sparring hall, turned around, and lightly dusted myself off.

“Next~Participation number 299~Cadet Min Hak-gyu~Please come out~”

‘… hmm? Min Hak-gyu?’

Yoo Se-ha tilts her head for a moment at those words.

I thought it was a name I had heard before somewhere.

I looked at the big man walking out and thought, ‘Ah… ‘ and added a short chuimsae.

A male cadet with impressive short sports hair.

He was clicking his tongue with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

It was as if he did not want to meet like this.

On the other hand, Yoo Se-ha, who was watching, felt some joy.

‘Seeing it like this makes me remember clearly.’

A few months ago.

He was one of the group of men who saved me when I was surrounded by girls in the dormitory.

One of them was particularly large, so I vaguely remembered it.

‘Well, of course we didn’t really talk… ‘

Now that I think about it, I didn’t even say thank you at that time.

chin.

Soon Min Hak-gyu came up.

Just as I was about to speak for a moment, Sarangmi’s words came quickly.

“Then~I’ll start right away~Please both of you pick up your training weapons~”

I can’t do it.

I felt like I had to do it after the match.

*

Meanwhile, Min Hak-gyu was looking at Yoo Se-ha.

‘damn… ‘

He cursed softly in his mind.

1st year, mid-ranking warrior class.

His current position and de facto ranking.

To put it another way…

‘No matter how you look at it… ‘

It was said that there was no way he could be a match for the genius in front of him.

Min Hak-gyu’s is .

As a typical type of class, he was the first to move forward and had a lot of experience fighting on the front lines.

Therefore, Min Hak-gyu was confident in being able to understand the strength of his opponent at a glance.

This is due to the humiliation he received as a man whose natural magical powers were clearly limited.

Min Hak-gyu was also a talent that he had developed in his own way.

When he saw that…

Yoo Se-ha was a strong man on a different level from himself.

No, to be honest, no matter how you look at it, it wasn’t at a first-year level.

‘… I don’t think it was like this when we met in the dormitory… ‘

After all, geniuses are different.

Min Hak-gyu quietly lamented, wondering what the luck of the matching had been.

To be honest, I didn’t want to stick with it.

This is partly because Yoo Se-ha is strong, but it also plays a role in the fact that he is an object of respect for Min Hak-gyu.

In the jungle called , where the hierarchy is clear, a person who proudly maintains the role of the top predator more than anyone else.

Far from being bullied by women, he walks around proudly as someone they envy.

That’s what campaigning is.

He was a role model for Min Hak-gyu, who had always been ignored by women.

Various thoughts floated through his mind.

However, that was only for a moment.

match-!

Min Hak-gyu slapped himself on both cheeks and immediately took out his shield and gladius with a serious look on his face.

He showed off the most stable yet aggressive style of fighting using a one-handed sword and a circular shield.

No matter who the opponent was, since it was a test, I had to do my best.

Now I only remember that.

“Then~begin~”

Bang bang!

As soon as it started, Min Hak-gyu struck the exact center of the shield.

It was the same provocation skill as Mahana, [Shout of Provocation].

Yoo Se-ha was struck by an intangible energy spreading in all directions.

‘… ‘Hey.’

However, Min Hak-gyu clicked his tongue.

Because Yoo Se-ha didn’t move at all.

This means that there was no provocation at all.

It was proof that the the opponent had was ridiculous.

‘I expected it.’

I felt like it was okay if everything worked out, but if it didn’t work out, it was okay.

It’s real from now on.

“Kaaaa!!”

“… … !”

Min Hak-gyu suddenly roars.

Soon, the lion’s nose that spread out from his mouth immediately activated its unique .

Yoo Se-ha, who was watching, seemed quite surprised as if he knew the skill.

At that sight, Min Hak-gyu smiled in his own way.

‘As expected, I recognize him.’

Hero level skill, [Commander’s Battle Cry].

It was a very powerful and highly efficient buff that temporarily increased the strength and durability of all allies within the radius, including itself.

At the same time, it was also Min Hak-gyu’s only boast that he was able to pass the admission to .

Min Hak-gyu thrusts his shield forward with even greater durability.

First of all, focus on defense as much as possible to see the situation… … ?

“… Huh?”

I was embarrassed.

does not exist.

Yoo Se-ha, I can’t see him.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared like a ghost.

Min Hak-gyu was embarrassed and looked around.

At that time, with a chill running down my spine, I realized that Yoo Se-ha had already taken the lead behind me.

“… … ”

at the same time…

I also realize that if I had intended for it to end, the game would have been decided long ago.

“Ugh!!!”

With great enthusiasm, Min Hak-gyu swung his gladius like lightning.

A manifestation of the desire to show something.

It was just there.

Kang-!

Whirling!

Clink…

thud.

“… Huh?”

Min Hak-gyu froze in embarrassment.

When I realized it, Gladius had already left the stadium.

Yu Se-ha’s long sword was pointed at his neck.

“… … ”

A gaze without any emotional change.

Min Hak-gyu sighed softly.

What is this…

‘There’s no answer. really… ‘

I raised both hands up.

“… It’s surrender.”

*

“… … ”

“… … ”

A dead silence continued in the audience.

Everyone who was looking at them with a strange feeling of disbelief opened their mouths blankly.

About half of them missed Yoo Se-ha’s movements right in front of them.

And about half of the other people vaguely recognized his movements.

Lastly, less than five people knew exactly how many he used and how he used them.

Considering that everyone is a member of the professional team who has looked into and discovered numerous talents in their own way, it can be said that Yoo Se-ha’s skills clearly exceeded expectations.

―… What on earth did you just do…

―Employee Hyowon Yoon. Don’t you have [analysis] skills? Movement a little while ago. Do you know what ability I used?

-I don’t know exactly… [Powerful Agility], and probably [Sprint].

―… what? A first-year cadet still has two correction abilities? Do you have enough experience to operate it simultaneously?

―It may be pretentious, but I think it’s not just [sprinting], it’s a step above that. It was more intense than the magic response of [Running].

Surprised voices rang out from everywhere, except for some cadets and professors who knew this was going to happen.

Well, of course…

Yu Se-ha didn’t pay any attention.

Because what comes to mind right now is a million times more important.

[‘The eyes of the sky’ go against the laws of heaven.]

[This is a Legendary level skill. Subject: ]

[ is activated.]

[‘Commander’s Battle Cry’ or ‘Thick Tendon’, Strength +1]

‘oh… ‘

Of course, I had no idea that this short sparring would trigger it.

Even was added for the first time in a long time.

‘Hmm, what should I choose?’

[Commander’s Battle Shout], which we saw a little while ago, was useful in that it was a group buff.

[Thick Tendon], like [Uncanny Strength], was a skill that corrected strength.

I covet both, but…

‘As expected, this is overwhelmingly the former.’

[The warrior’s shout of great power raises the morale of everyone around him.]

[Select ‘Commander’s Battle Cry’. This is a level 1 Hero ability. It is acquired by being upgraded to level 3.]

[Strength increases by 2, speed increases by 1, and durability increases by 1.]

‘oh?’

The message in the has changed from before.

Originally, I would have gotten it in proportion to the original level.

Now, even if the original level is low, it has been raised and learned.

Here, the basic level 2 is amplified to level 3.

‘It’s true that I’ve grown up.’

It seems that obtaining level 3 [Charge Crush] from was not just a coincidence.

*

Meanwhile, Min Hak-gyu sat down and looked at Yoo Se-ha in despair.

A bitter smile appears on my lips.

As expected, he was a person on a different level from himself.

‘I knew, but… ‘

I couldn’t even resist, and everything was decided with just one move, so I felt completely futile.

Min Hak-gyu quietly gathers his dropped equipment and tries to leave.

Before he knew it, Yoo Se-ha was standing in front of him.

I was surprised and before I could say anything, he held out his hand.

“It was a good match.”

“… uh? Uh… ”

For a moment, I thought it was a deception.

Min Hak-gyu could tell from the light in Yoo Se-ha’s eyes that he was sincere.

Suddenly, I held his hand.

And then I heard something additional that I didn’t expect.

“And I was grateful then.”

“Um huh?”

“During the dormitory. You helped me, right?”

“Ah… !”

I never thought you would remember.

Two people talking to each other for a moment.

Yoo Se-ha surprisingly knew about them.

Min Hak-gyu smiled slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed by his gratitude.

For him, it is an object of admiration for campaigning.

How good it must feel to have someone like that remember me and say thank you.

“Well, do your best for the next match.”

“You too.”

Clap, clap!

The two looked at the audience as they soon heard applause.

The warm side of men rarely seen in .

In response to the applause, the two looked at each other and bowed their heads to express their gratitude.

* * *

Same time.

Beyond the stands.

There was a woman who was making a fuss while looking at the two people, or more accurately, Yoo Se-ha.

A woman wearing a nametag that reads .

Strangely, two rabbit ears were sticking out from the top of the hat he was wearing.

Like a real rabbit, it moves its big eyes and makes an amazing expression.

She is a specialist scout team within the 4th clan, . One of the members of .

It was Toyakeng.

She, a fairly rare species called , once again made a fuss to an acquaintance next to her.

“Towangtowang! Team leader, team leader~ That kid is really great, isn’t he?”

“… Toya Keng Temple. Please stay still. Hair is flying.”

“Chit Chit Chit! Rather than that, please tell me your thoughts about that child, that child, that child.”

Hearing Toya Kyung’s chattering noises, the woman called the team leader sighed softly.

Ash gray tone hair and appropriate body proportions.

He even has an intelligent appearance that would catch the eye of a man at least once.

The team leader was someone who anyone would say was beautiful.

Here, she also wore an emblem symbolizing .

Like Toya Kyung, he is a member of the 4th great clan, .

However, like Toya Keong, he was not from the Chinese Zodiac.

One of the factions of called . The leader of a successful team competing for first and second place in terms of performance.

That was the position of the team leader, Cho Seol-hwa.

Also, she…

She was also the team leader who Joo Na-yong called so often and always said he trusted her.

“… … ”

Chu Seol-hwa crossed her arms.

Beyond his gaze, he looked directly at Joo Na-yong, who was casting an eager gaze toward the victorious Yoo Se-ha, who didn’t even know he was there.

‘… also.’

This is a first-time story about seeing Jun Na-yong for as long as 10 years.

It was Cho Seol-hwa who knew her better than Joo Na-yong himself.

So I was confident once again.

Lady Joo Na-yong likes Yoo Se-ha.

It’s more than just a girl’s love, she’s suffering from a lust strong enough to kidnap her at any moment and make her her husband.

‘… It’s just as the Master said.’

Junayong’s mother and the leader of .

There are only five S-class hunters in Korea.

It was just as Joo Ye-yong said.

I’m sure it wasn’t just a coincidence that his daughter learned [Breath]…

There must have been an opportunity and reason to get it.

―… There is a high probability that it will be love.

“… … ”

Cho Seol-hwa put aside for a moment his appreciation for the young lady who was like his own younger sister.

The reason I came here today is because I am the main topic and the center of everything.

and…

Because it is to find out about Yoo Se-ha that many people want.

“So what do you think?”

“… … ”

Cho Seol-hwa thought about the Yu Se-ha had displayed a little while ago in response to Toya Kyung’s prodding question.

Soon he begins to slowly open his mouth.
