17 – What a perfect plan…?

*

Jin Baekryong bounced back and forth like a water swallow, but stopped moving only after he hit a tree and got stuck in it.

I just felt it when I hit it.

‘This bastard is level 199.’

Only 1 level left until S class hunter. However, without realization, you can never cross that wall.

I was also in that state, but after becoming the direct escort of the Heavenly Demon, I was able to overcome the wall through intensive sparring with Ha-yeon.

‘Ah… That hurts terribly.’

I felt the pain all over my body only after confirming his status. It was a side effect of forcibly writing the brain myth.

It is one of the secret techniques of the Mukroe Bukryeok Singul that grants Mukroe to one’s body to turn the head into Mukroe, dramatically increase physical ability and speed, and indulge all attacks with Mukroe.

Originally, a technique that can be used only when the achievement of the Muk-rye-Buk-ryeok skill must be 7, based on the previous enlightenment, was forcibly used, but the state of the body did not make sense.

Well, even in this state, youngsters who haven’t reached the hwagyeong can cook lightly. I saw him stand up after removing his body from the tree, and as I was adjusting my posture, he started talking to me.

“Wait. I just want to say something.”

Yes. I nodded my head thinking that I would hear what he was saying. It’s also a good opportunity to buy time to calm down the backlash caused by the brain myth.

However, what he did was far beyond my thoughts. Jin Baek-ryong bowed his head toward me and Ha-yeon.

“I’m sorry. If I knew you had a lover, I wouldn’t have done that, but I think I was in a hurry because it was the first time I’ve ever fallen for someone. Can you forgive me?”

He’s much more common-sense than you think, normal, and knows how to apologize for his mistakes. He’s even the heir to a 10th generation family, so I thought he would stretch out a lot, but it’s really unexpected.

If you think about it, all he did was fall in love with Ha-yeon, a great beauty, and confessed without knowing that he had a lover. Aren’t these just two?

Why would I fight if I just got rid of that with one punch?

‘No..?’

“No one ever confessed to me when I was in Cheonma Shinkyo, but it’s really amazing. Thanks to you, I saw a new side of Yuwon, so I’m fine.”

When Ha-yeon, the party involved, also said that she would forgive her, she had nothing more to do. To the point where I feel sorry for having shaken off the corn from the beginning?

“I feel like I started out with my fists for no reason.”

After the anger boiling in my heart has disappeared, I feel that something has calmed down.

“No. I’m well aware of the situation that can upset me. If you come to the Jin family later, I’ll treat you with utmost respect.”

No, the heir of a Chinese teenage family is famous for being hot-tempered and giving away anything he doesn’t like.

For now, the situation seems to have been settled, but he brings up additional words.

“The apologies are all over, and now it’s a test, so we should focus on that. Jin Baek-Ryong of the Jin family. I’ll ask you to teach me a lesson.”

Jin Baekryong challenges me as if he is requesting a job in Moorim.

‘Uh… I don’t have the heart to fight?’

I received an apology, my anger was relieved, and even though I couldn’t collect any tokens, it seems like I survived for a very long time, so I’m thinking of giving up.

“I’m giving up… Oops!”

The moment I was about to give up, Ha-yeon pinched my back.

“Abtention…? I think I just misunderstood something.”

-Ha Yeonah…?

Send her whole tone towards her.

-Does it make sense that a soldier of the Heavenly Demonic Church would not respond to such a heartfelt attack? He’s the man who even tried to steal me from you… It’s been a while since I’ve missed your skills, so come visit me.

‘When did he try to steal you…’

I had no choice but to deal with Jin Baek Ryong because I thought that if I abstained like this, I wouldn’t be able to take a bone from Ha Yeon outside.

Considering that I haven’t met a single person so far, I think there are still quite a few people left, and if I give up to Ha-yeon after defeating Jin Baek-ryong, I’ll be able to avoid the top ranks.

I don’t know how many marks Jin Baekryong must have collected, but if he surrenders them to Hayeon through abstaining, he will receive only half of the points, so he’ll probably be at the highest level.

I don’t know how many people are left, but if they go through the test, won’t they leave an impression of ‘the guy who ambush and knock down the exhausted Jin Baek-ryong’?

‘A perfect plan indeed.’

She found the last line that didn’t get scolded by Ha-yeon and didn’t stand out too much.

“Orphan. Yuwon Kim. I will accept your challenge.”

Jin Baekryong is obviously confused by my answer. Taking advantage of that time, I drop a dark-colored lightning over the guy’s head.

Mukroe and Thunder Power – Thunder (落雷)

A skill that instantly changed the Murim lord and the master of Shaolin Temple, who were masters who reached Hwagyeong.

However, unlike them, Jin Baek Ryong was only a little tired, but in a very normal physical condition, and was able to sufficiently block lightning strikes using his sword shield.

Of course, he was unexpectedly attacked in a chaotic state and was unable to completely block it, so light brain energy settled in various parts of his body and began to restrict his movements.

Towards him, I turn my brain energy with my whole body to activate my body and quickly approach him.

It’s okay to shout that I’m cowardly, but I don’t know if you know that this is a real battle, or I don’t have time to talk.

A guy who immediately maintains his immobility and keeps his eyes on my movements without missing a moment. As a son of a prestigious family, he has been training since he was young and has maintained that state without faltering.

‘Still, I’m still lacking in actual combat.’

I quickly approach the guy staring straight at me.

I showed the appearance of trying to respond with the trick of a latecomer in accordance with my movements, so I momentarily went in and out of the range of his sword, and swung my sword toward that place, and it was a mess.

Still, I was not taken aback by that, and this time I gave him a small gift as he glared at me as if to kill my movements.

Pang!

With the sound of a flash exploding, light exploded around like a flash bomb, and the guy who saw it instantly lost his sight.

“Ugh…!”

I used energy to increase my eyesight, but it didn’t protect the outside, so I tried it once, and it worked very well.

As it is, it speeds up and penetrates deeper than its range, making it impossible to use the sword.

I was quick to judge, so I immediately threw away my sword and tried to respond with taijutsu, but taijutsu is my specialty, and unlike him, I have a clear vision.

Compared to Jin Baek-ryong, who has to fill up his field of vision with his senses of smell, hearing, and touch, I have a huge advantage. Instead, he had consumed numerous elixirs and had a high level, so his physical ability and amount of energy were higher than mine.

‘But this is the end.’

Before his vision returned, I intensively hit his head to make him conscious of it, and then I went into the lower half of my body and made a single leg tackle.

“Ugh!”

As it is, climb on top of the fallen guy and get into a mount position. He’d be fine with an arm bar, but that would only increase the pain, so I thought I’d finish it quickly.

Jin Baekryong started to open his eyes as if his vision was slowly returning. However, it was already too late. He kicks the sword of Jin Baek-ryong away from the floor.

Most of his skills can only be activated with a sword, and I kicked them off, and in this position, I can’t unmount the mount no matter what I do.

While I was beating his avatar until it disappeared, I felt a strange flow of energy from behind.

Aura secretly flowed from the guy’s hand and touched the sword, making it float in the air.

‘Iggyeo swordsmanship.’

It’s a skill only used by masters in the Hwagyeong, but it’s probably borrowed the power of the skill and forced to use it.

Originally, it was used very secretly, and there was nothing to be discovered because it was not even heard, but it is an ancient Awakener whose opponent has reached the present.

I bent my head slightly to avoid the sword that flew towards my head very quickly, with a gap of a piece of paper.

“How…”

“Because I was tired of being bullied by those Namgoongse.”

After he told me something he couldn’t understand, I gathered all my energy and struck his fist at his head, destroying the virtual avatar.

I was wondering if there would be a grotesque scene, but it seems that the avatar just disappears immediately after receiving fatal damage.

A lot of signs appeared where he appeared.

‘Wow… Over 30?’

32 To be exact. Excluding one belonging to him, there are 31 of them. It seems that he alone eliminated more than half of the test sites.

‘Isn’t this the top rank even if it’s reduced by half?’

From noble mtl dot com

It was a big deal. 33 Including mine. We must quickly abstain from Ha-yeon and cut it in half. Rounding is not applied, so even if you cut it in half, there are 16, but now, if you are Lee Sang, you are 100% the best.

“Yeonah Ha! I give up..!!”

[Only the last two remain in the exam hall.]

[End of the exam.]

‘What..? ‘

Don’t bullsh*t. I’ve met two people so far, and now I’ve eliminated one, but the exam is over? This makes no sense. This can’t be real

“Ha Yeon-ah, do you have 17 signs?”

“Yes. Congratulations on winning first place. Yuwon.”

‘No, it’s not something to celebrate!!!!!’

After 10 seconds, the avatar forcibly disappeared and returned to the real world.

“Ah…”

You can see real reality through goggles, not virtual reality. I took off my goggles and opened the cover to go outside, but there were countless students watching me.

With the exception of me, Jin Baek-ryong, and Ha-yeon, all the other students are gathered here.

Then the instructor in front of the capsule speaks to me.

“The exam in Group A took longer than expected, so even the students in the other group who finished earlier were watching on the screen. It was amazing. Congratulations to the top freshman this semester. Yuwon Kim.”

Not just instructors. All the students who were watching me were talking loudly.

“”Kim Yoo-won! Yuwon Kim!”

“Wow! I overpowered that Jinbaekryong!”

“I did an ambush… Isn’t that a bit cowardly?”

“Hey! There’s no such thing as cowardice in real life! Do you want to get your head pierced by a villain?”

“Even at the end, he won and avoided the swordsmanship without even looking at it.”

Numerous students are chanting my name and evaluating me. A few had negative comments, but most tended to be positive.

Where did it go wrong?

My plan is to leave all the marks to Ha-yeon while maintaining a moderately high rank. It collapsed in an instant.

‘It must have been a perfect plan…?’

Why did this happen?
