40 – Class A Promotion Test (7)

I looked into the eyes of my opponent.

The oxygen mask worn with the hood worn over it covered more than half of the face, making it difficult to get an accurate impression.

‘He’s trained beyond imagination.’

The tight muscles stand out inside the clothes.

That is by no means a body made through ordinary training.

The quality and sensation of the muscles were completely different.

Must be a drug… And it was a trace of high-intensity training that went beyond the limit.

‘Association.’

I guessed that he received the so-called ‘injection formula’ curriculum.

Because most Awakened people from the Association had bodies like that.

Personally, I didn’t like it very much.

It is certainly possible to increase the range of growth, but it is no different from injecting a universal system by killing individual tendencies and strengths.

‘An educational system that is literally the exact opposite of the Kwon King.’

A startled breathing sound is heard behind my back.

When I turned my gaze, I saw Dangmari swallowing dry saliva.

From her facial expression and cold sweat, I could feel bewilderment, doubt, and fear due to the danger of her life.

I understood how it was going back and forth.

‘I’ve prepared three people from the beginning.’

Hwang Bo-han, Dang-mari will be the advance team.

A hand that steals my stamina, weakens my strength, and pushes me to fulfill my abilities.

And the hood in front of you must be a finisher prepared to intercept the feat.

“Geum Tae-nyeo senior. Do you know this guy?”

“… Juniors. I’m not a golden girl… And to answer your question… I don’t know. I saw it for the first time.”

“Yes.”

I was thinking of throwing it away from the start.

Well, that’s why he pulled the pin on the grenade without hesitation.

For a moment, the hood meets the eyes.

“Uh, how… not… going to be?”

f*ck, why is this bastard talking again?

I thought of Zhuge Eunbyeol for a while, but I decided to move on.

“I can hear my heartbeat clearly on the floor, but I don’t know how.”

At my words, not only Hood, but even the dangmari who were sitting there stared blankly at me.

It’s a little bit, but I was hurt.

What kind of monster are you looking at?

▶ Master. Their reaction is normal.

‘Kay. What should I do with you too?’

“… It is absurd.”

“So… Even if you don’t have a one-sided relationship, a grenade to a colleague… Are you insane?”

Of course, I didn’t mean it with sincerity.

Because I’m not hot-blooded enough to talk about morality or anything like that.

‘I’ll be able to see how he reacts.’

Hood’s expression darkened rapidly.

After staring at Dangmari for a while, the guy looked away and murmured softly.

“I’m sorry… It’s unavoidable… Because I have to win.”

Aren’t you the cold-blooded brat type?

It’s a tradition that usually the last guy left is to attack without blood or tears.

‘Rather than saying it’s a guilty feeling… ‘

That pupil’s movement as if it was being crushed by something.

The shape of a hand barely holding back fear.

A fragile attitude at the same time.

There must have been circumstances.

‘Well, it’s not my part-time job.’

“… Sorry.”

After a small apology, Hood rushed forward.

It was so fast that the weak impression and attitude flew away at once.

When I lowered my gaze, both ankles were sunken into the ground, and they were sliding.

My unique footwork.

From noble mtl dot com

‘Wait.’

I swung my left leg just in time.

Sleep-

In an instant, the body of the hood was pulled down.

He went to the ground as if he were swimming, and he was out of sight in an instant.

‘As expected, I didn’t see it wrong.’

[Material Permeation]

It was a rare yet powerful unique ability that I had only seen twice in my previous life.

I don’t know exactly what principle it had, but each one had the characteristic of being picky as f*ck.

A vibration occurs in the ground.

A subtle heartbeat can be heard along with rough breathing.

Instantly, the distance was widened.

Sureuk-

Frighteningly to move, Hood’s arm pierced the ground and came up.

A quick analysis of the gnome.

‘If you see that it went into the ground without passing through the attack, is it a type that cannot be eaten by living things? Instead, it seems to be limited to objects and have high versatility.’

The energy consumed at the same time was large.

Looking at the mana fluctuating on the ground, it seemed that it could not be maintained for long.

‘It’s not a style like Dangmari that has a lot of bullets.’

You won’t be able to attack with all sorts of live shows.

Once again, the floor shakes.

I wondered if it was the same attack again, but instinctively felt it was different.

I slammed down on the ground while tightening my grip.

[Petrified skin (Lv.3) Is activated.]

Bang-!

A stone pillar the size of an adult man rises as he pushes his rock-covered fist away.

From the pattern of the spell engraved on the stone pillar, I realized that it was magic, not a skill.

‘Earth magic penetrates matter, fast movement using footwork with a body trained like metal.’

Hwang Bo-han was a guy who purely specialized in hand-to-hand combat than Dang-mari.

Of the three, he had the lowest pure firepower, but at the same time he was the most demanding.

▶ Master. There is space behind the pillars!

‘… !’

He appeared inside a stone pillar.

He naturally sticks out his upper body as if he had been hiding inside the pillar from the beginning.

Ping-

The sound of a safety pin being pulled out is heard.

It threw more than 10 grenades in front of me and attacked me.

“Baby… “

Perbung!

An explosion fills the square.

Immediately after that, a silver flash flashed.

I cut the burning fire in half and looked around.

I can’t see him.

‘Don’t panic.’

Concentrate.

I focused my mind completely on my senses without missing the slightest gap.

Something is approaching.

The moment I recognized it, my lower body sank to the ground with a grumbling sound.

As if I had put my feet on a swampy terrain, my ankles went in and I couldn’t get out.

‘Is material penetration possible even from a long distance?’

It was a great decision to take away the momentum.

Soon, he jumped out like a fish.

Hood concentrated his mana on both his hands and threw out his fist with a quick and concise stance.

‘Boxing… ‘

It seems that he learned martial arts well overall.

The shape of the fist was quite alive.

I was aware of the approaching mass and evaded the attack with minimal movement.

“… !”

I can see a puzzled expression as if he didn’t know how to respond so well.

After that, the attacks continued.

A combination with hooks, uppercuts and straights.

When it didn’t work, even a few techniques using kicks.

I understood everything and dealt with it without any damage.

“… Omg… omg.”

In the end, it was Hood who lost his stamina first as time passed.

He gritted his teeth and lunged at me.

A threatening posture with the waist bent.

It was a wrestling tackle.

Gasp-!

I can feel the sensation of holding my waist.

The ground holding my ankles instantly softened and my upper body flashed.

Hood leaned back and tried to slam my head into the floor.

German Splash.

I’ve seen it a few times, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it unfold so neatly in real combat.

“Good.”

“… !”

I gave strength to both legs and rotated my body.

Hood’s hands fall due to the counter-elastic force.

I see a confused guy through my field of vision.

I bent over in the air and slapped him in the stomach.

“Gup!”

I bent my knees with a gasping sound.

The guy who had been coughing for a long time had a scarlet glow in his eyes.

Before long, he began to concentrate all his magical energy into his hands.

‘Ultimate Skill.’

Ambush, hand-to-hand combat, and psychological warfare were his last desperate efforts when he realized that everything would not work.

Tak!

Hood slammed the ground with both hands joined together.

Koo-goo-!

The earth trembles.

Trees were crushed and unusual air currents stirred.

One second later, the ground lifted up in the form of a huge rectangle, forming a relief.

[??? Uses the ultimate skill Underground Puppet (A-).]

I blew magic into the blade as I watched the two approaching earthen walls.

‘This will be my match.’

I was focused.

With the soft blue light in the grip of the sword, the transparent sword side stood out enough to reflect the owner’s face.

I stepped on Jin-gak.

I once again embody the realm of the sword I felt in my previous life and swung it horizontally.

[A lot of cutting skill increases!]

[The level of cutting a lot has risen!]

[Swordsman’s skill level increases!

[The level of the swordsman’s pole rises!]

A cutting sound rang through the air.

With Ilseom (一閃), the earthen wall is cut in half.

Creepy noises rang out and dozens of sword strikes spread in all directions.

A clod of earth lifted up in the air fell over the poor forest and created a mess.

I can see his eyes looking at me in disbelief.

Immediately after that, a straight sword wound is engraved between the chest.

I looked at the stumbling guy and tousled his hair.

* * *

“I did control my strength.”

Well, I’ll have to recuperate for a while…

‘Anyway, it’s fun… After all, fighting three times in a row is a bit tiring.’

▶ Master. Two people approach.

When I turned my head at Kay’s words, I saw two people approaching me.

“Siwoo Choi!”

After arriving, Yubin gave a bright smile.

She grabbed my arm and shook it up and down as if she was quite excited.

“You are amazing. I saw it on the screen, but I can’t believe it. It’s a literally absurd sword.”

“Yes, what… “

“Ha ha ha! Anyway, with this test… Huh? Inspector Hasman?”

I followed Yubin’s bewildered gaze and moved her view.

Her mustache stopped not here, but in front of her hood, which had just collapsed.

He was looking down at the hood with an expression about to explode at any moment.
