Jump and jump.

The sound of rough footsteps reached my ears.

Beyond sight, a space full of darkness.

Footprints that felt powerful were deeply engraved.

The sound of footsteps sounded as if I was walking casually, but I felt a strange vibration and confidence.

Probably because he was born strong.

Since he was a guy who had never experienced defeat, he was able to show his composure.

I clicked my tongue.

I had no idea that such an insignificant opportunity would make me reminisce about the old days.

Childhood.

A scruffy orphan who has not yet been taken in by his father.

Those guys who walked around me and boasted that they were having fun.

Guys whose names and faces I don’t remember.

They all died for ridiculous reasons and became corpses.

And the old memory of searching for things like a hyena in the arms of those guys.

I shook off the slightly unpleasant feeling and looked ahead.

“… Hmm?”

“Crrr!!!”

What appeared soon after was a tiger with scarlet fur and black stripes.

Of course, it was not an ordinary tiger.

It was much bigger and bigger.

Walking on two legs like humans.

On his lower body, he was wearing leopard skin pants that were believed to have been made by killing his own people.

A well-developed humanoid body and a belt made of prayer beads attached to the waist.

It was definitely true.

I tilted my head.

‘Why on earth is he here?’

It was a grade A dungeon boss, .

It was a boss from a dungeon on Mt. Baekdu called .

Although they are not beastmen.

A guy who uses his excellent body and speed, which are unique to beastmen, to use powerful fighting skills.

Originally, it wasn’t a boss that was easy to see.

A moment’s question.

One guess soon.

‘Oh, does this person appear in ?’

Maybe so.

If you look at the mourning background setting, there is a useless story about receiving help from a good person in the past.

It turns out that it was a Seonhyup-affiliated mob, so it is true.

Soon, the guy who found me had his fighting spirit burning in his eyes.

Hocheon takes a fighting stance.

“Kwaaa-!!!”

A huge roar echoed from Hocheon’s mouth.

It is not a simple cry, but a lion’s roar that uses the tiger’s unique infrasound waves.

It was a Hero grade skill, [Hoongmaeng].

Destroys the composure of targets within range,

It was a very good skill that further reduced abilities.

Of course, there were no repercussions for me.

[‘Unwavering Insight’ is activated.]

[‘Pain tolerance of patience’ is activated.]

[Status abnormality: Confusion, resists reduction in ability points.]

When I said it was nothing, he hesitated a little.

“Crrr… ”

Even for a moment,

He started twirling his legs around me.

Of course, the A-level boss was an opponent that could not be ignored.

If you look purely at his basic abilities without any buffs, he’ll be higher than mine.

I knew I had to be nervous.

I knew I had to take a stance.

But why?

I didn’t feel anything.

‘… ‘Why?’

It’s like watching a cat bark.

I think it’s a bit trivial.

Of course, vigilance continued.

I didn’t look down on it or let my guard down.

I just waited for him to make a move first.

Did he know what I meant?

Kwaduk-!

Hocheon, who strengthened both legs, rushed forward like lightning.

“Kwaaah!!!”

Two or more abilities have been activated on the legs.

Both nails were sharply pulled out, imbued with intense magical power.

It was definitely a Hero grade skill, [Holding Crush].

is a typical physical type boss specializing in strength and speed.

In reality, it won’t even take two seconds for his claws to touch me.

But I didn’t even move.

It was slow.

It was so slow.

A moment of puzzlement.

I soon realized.

I’ve already been through a fight with a strong person whose speed was incomparable to the guy in front of me.

A man suddenly came to mind.

I was reminded of a ronin wearing a worn-out military uniform and a hat on his head.

‘Pleasant.’

Compared to that, was slow and poor.

Compared to the swift blade he wielded, his claws were no better than slugs.

A fleeting moment.

I closed my eyes.

When I unfolded [Unprecedented Persimmon], the red energy spread out and coalesced like armor covering my body.

All my senses became sensitive.

The existence that remained like a terminal in memory became clear.

‘In the past, just like I trained while remembering Peng Jin-ah’s appearance at the training ground… ‘

I projected an image of ‘pleasure’ based on the [unprecedented feeling] that became stronger and more evident.

Fluttering-!

Soon, the red energy changes shape.

It was definitely a ronin itself.

[‘Unprecedented sense’ is demonstrated to the extreme.]

[The skill of ‘Swift Sword’ flows through your whole body.]

[‘Black Iron’ responds to its new owner’s call.]

Before I knew it, I didn’t have the [Saint’s Sword] in my hand,

The [Black Iron] used by the ronin was heard.

I thought of him.

I recalled the blow he had unleashed.

I recalled the moment when we bumped into each other and looked back at each other.

-It was great.

[Heukcheol]’s sword body was dyed a deep black color.

A phenomenon that is shown because one has an understanding and qualification for martial arts.

Before I knew it, I

He had become a ronin himself.

I lightly lifted the black iron.

And cut.

Sreung-!

‘s arms were cut off cleanly and hovered in the air.

“K… Wow?”

Hocheon was embarrassed and spouted blood.

The guy who sensed something was very wrong,

I tried to pull my body back before I even felt the pain.

But I didn’t want to waste any more time on him.

I pulled my hand back.

Without moving a single step, he gathered magical power into the black iron.

Faba Park-!

nape.

heart.

Finally, beyond the eyebrows to the brain.

[Three Stab], which was performed for the first time in a long time, completely took Hocheon’s life.

That was the end of it.

thud-!

Hocheon knelt down on the spot.

His eyes rolled back and forth.

He put his face down on the floor and stuck out his tongue.

This whole moment lasted only 5 seconds.

[‘Eyes of the reverse sky’ flows through your genius.]

[Your understanding of ‘Swift Sword’ will increase further. When this process is repeated a few more times, some of the skills possessed by ‘Kwae’ are permanently acquired.]

[The level of ‘3 consecutive stabs’ increases. Derivative skill: Learn ‘Slash Thrust’.]

[The level of ‘swordsmanship’ increases.]

[As a total level reward, strength increases by 1 and speed increases by 1.]

“Phew… ”

It was right after I finished the exam and qualified for admission to .

As I went outside, I heard murmurs coming from all over.

They were all hunters who had looked at me in various ways earlier.

“Did you just see it?”

“No, well… ”

“Wow, did you see the arrest? It’s really fast… ?”

“After the examination, my sister brought me in to check… Could it be that you have finally received a disciple?”

“Ah, you have never accepted a disciple until now.”

“… If you’re that talented, shouldn’t you do whatever it takes to keep him under you?”

“The sword technique I used a little while ago. What kind of sword method is this?”

A murmur of various words.

Among them, a woman wearing sunglasses snapped her fingers.

“Ah, I remembered! That person. It’s him. This time, I got hit by the S-class monster Kirin!”

“… what? No, he’s clearly a young hero, but he’s just a kid.”

“That kid defeated an S-class monster?”

“… Everyone, the news is late. You have to know that as soon as you come in.”

“No, I heard it, but I thought it was nonsense… But now that I look at it, it seems like the rumors were actually underestimated… ?”

Umm.

There was so much attention that it became a burden.

Eyes full of anticipation and victory poured out here and there.

Meanwhile, a question came to mind late.

‘what?’

Wait, how do they know how I fight?

I was inside the just a little while ago?

Then a noise was heard.

I looked back.

And I was shocked.

‘This is crazy?’

A huge electronic display board.

The scene where I and fought a little while ago was completely filmed.

He even closes his eyes and pretends to be cool!

‘Oh wow!’

*

Meanwhile, a table a little further away.

Peng Jin-ah covered her face with both hands and looked at Yoo Se-ha, who was embarrassed.

A feeling of pride welled up in my heart.

I was confident that I would do it if I was asked to campaign, but I had no idea that I would do it this well.

As expected, he was his own best friend.

“Hmm!”

A little cough.

Peng Jin-ah straightened her shoulders.

Then he turned around to secretly brag to the swordsman next to him about being his student.

“… … !”

I immediately flinched.

After plum blossom examination.

She was staring at Yoo Se-ha with an expressionless face.

Although there seemed to be no significant emotional change, he knew Peng Jin-ah well, whom he had been with since childhood.

Rather, it’s just her habit that comes out when she feels a strong desire.

‘no way… ?’

An old thought suddenly comes to mind.

Just a passing word that even a sister-in-law might covet Yoo Se-ha’s brilliant talent.

gulp-!

Peng Jin-ah swallowed his saliva.

chin.

He placed his hand on Geomhu’s shoulder.

“Hmm? Jinah?”

“… private residence. Cadet Yoo Se-ha is my student.”

Although it was a sudden remark, Peng Jin-ah was serious.

Geomhu, who had been blinking in confusion, laughed and laughed.

He tapped the sister-in-law’s shoulder and laughed as if asking what she was talking about.

“Our Jin-ah~disciple is such an idiot?”

“No, don’t make fun of me!”

“Nonglingjimangsingshow~”

“Good profit!!!”

Geomhu smiled as if it was cute.

Immediately, he pushed Peng Jin-ah on the back.

A gesture to quickly go to Yoo Se-ha.

“… … ”

Yet her narrow eyes remained fixed on Yoo Se-ha.

*

30 minutes later.

Suddenly, I was left alone.

– Cadet Yoo Se-ha. We’ll gather up some necessary items and come back.

-Oh, I will go too.

-Okay. I guess there are some things that are just for women… I’m embarrassed to show it.

Sit comfortably on the sofa and relax.

With those words, the three left to buy luggage and necessities.

I sat like a pumice stone, feeling embarrassed.

The surrounding area was still crowded with people showing interest.

It doesn’t approach, just wanders around.

‘… ‘It’s a bit burdensome to get to this level.’

It’s just a matter of waiting with your fingers crossed.

‘hmm?’

I looked up and realized someone was approaching.

We made eye contact naturally.

It was a young woman who appeared to be in her early 30s.

Uniquely, the woman was wearing brass-colored armor similar to that seen in medieval Rome.

On his back is a circular shield the size of his body,

There is even a long folding window on the shoulder.

‘Um, huh?’

A strange sense of déjà vu.

I’m sure I’ve seen it somewhere, right?

I couldn’t remember very well.

Think about it for about 1 second.

Soon, I remembered.

‘Oh, obviously… ‘

Chairman Yoon Neung-hae showed…

‘You’re the person on that list?!’
