Chapter 4

A player training center in Seoul.

A place to gather and train potential players from all over Korea. It is a place you must go through to become a player.

It is known externally that the reason for training players is to teach them how to deal with Abyss and monsters.

‘It’s a lie.’

Everyone who knows knows

The player training camp was built at the request of the masterminds.

It was created to sift out those who have the potential to become players, and to find the talents behind the scenes.

‘Why are you collecting players?’

I don’t know why, but the hinterland is constantly gathering players to explore the Abyss.

The training center was established to stably supply such people to the hinterland.

But these days, strange rumors are circulating about such a training camp.

“…what is he doing?”

“Aren’t you just desperate?”

Rumor has it that Park Si-joon got an F grade and became strange.

He was the one who usually listened to the class in the front row every class.

But these days he’s just doing something else in the back seat.

“What the hell are you looking at? Isn’t that a tablet?”

“Hyun-wook said he was reading a novel…”

“A novel? Are you really desperate?”

“Did he see something like that?”

It was full of unanswered questions.

Park Si-joon himself had very little interaction with his trainees, so there was no one to get along with.

‘Why the hell are you reading web novels?’

That was everyone’s question.

And Park Si-joon, the object of the question… …

[You have finished reading ‘Thunderbolt Star with Status Window’][Health has increased by 1.2 due to the effect of Tomb Reading.][Number of works remaining until the realization: 6.]

It was getting stronger.

‘Sweet, I have to listen to the class.’

I couldn’t stop reading the novel.

It wasn’t because the writing was fun, but because it was fun to raise the skill level.



‘One more, one more… … .’

Park Si-jun read novels throughout the class like that.

* * *

After the awakening ceremony, the curriculum was changed.

Before that, most of the classes were theory classes or classes focused on fighting virtual monsters through VR.

What used to be, has now changed to fighting real monsters.

“Look carefully. This is a goblin.”

Spacious indoor training ground. The instructor was training with a monster beside him.

Park Si-jun took a class in a corner while reading the reader’s web novel quickly with his eyes.

‘I read a total of six web novels in three days.’

It took less time than I thought because it took some time to read web novels and time to digest them.

[Number of works remaining until the realization: 4.]

The number of works required for realization was 10. I’ve read 6, so now there are 4 left.

‘Even if you read mainly short things, it is slow.’

Too short novels were not accepted by Tamread.

He prided himself on being a fast reader, but now he felt that his speed was not enough.

‘Let’s read quickly, quickly.’

Park Si-jun quickly read the web novel.

Meanwhile, the class continued.

“They are weak, but they are also the ones who hurt a lot of players who are going to explore the Abyss for the first time. Why?”

“Because they move in groups.”

“Yes, trainee Cho Kang-jae.”

To the instructor’s question, Kang-jae Jo, a muscular and strong man, raised his hand and answered.

The instructor nodded his head with a satisfied look.

“These guys act in groups. At least five. Up to ten. A player who goes out recklessly alone is in danger. Even if it’s a party, it’s dangerous if it’s not connected.”

The instructor scared the trainees.

Players who have just signed a contract with the mastermind tend to overconfidence in their abilities. It was for that reason.

“You guys are going to actually fight these goblins today. Find out their patterns.”

“Are you safe?”

“It’s a fake monster made with special abilities. It’s very similar to the real thing, but it won’t hurt you guys. It’ll hurt to death.”

“Instructor.”

Jo Kang-jae raised his hand again.

“Can I break it?”

More confident, no arrogant tone.

The instructor laughed and nodded his head.

“If you can, try it. So far, none of the trainees have destroyed these. If you do, give them a special reward.”

“I’ll be here today.”

Jo Kang-jae got up from his seat.

He had a wooden bayonet in his hand.

“Wear your training gear. Scouts will give you gifts, but I won’t allow you to wear them.”

“Can’t I just use it? Too bad.”

“No. Take it out.”

Jo Kang-jae grunted and took the ring off his finger.

“It’s an item that lets you use magic.”

Training began with his grumbling.

It was Cho Kang-jae who came first.

“Hmm!”

Seven goblins surrounded him.

Kang-jae Jo, who kept his distance while being alert to them, had a strong energy in his wooden sword.

‘Did you say you made a temporary contract with the lord of the arena?’

The lord of the arena is the mastermind behind the character of the warrior lineage. Jo Kang-jae must have learned a few things too.

woohoo!

– Whoa!

Unsurprisingly, a blow filled with subversive energy struck the goblin’s head.

If it were a real goblin, his head would have been smashed. But they just fell over.

It was surprisingly sturdy.

“Heh, heh heh!”

Kang-jae Cho subdued the goblins with his powerful force, but he used too much power on it.

Thanks to this, the movement slowed noticeably when about four were suppressed.

will be tired

“Kyo, Instructor! Why isn’t this broken?”

“I told you. So far, no one has been destroyed. They are not easy to make, so we tried to keep them from being destroyed as much as possible.”

“Shut up…!”

Jo Kang-jae clenched his teeth.

It seems that they attacked with a lot of energy, with the intention of completely destroying the goblins.

In the end, I couldn’t handle them all and about five fell down.

[The arena lord expresses his disappointment.]

“Huh! Oh no. You can fight better!”

Cho Kang-jae, who had fallen, suddenly shouted into the air.

No need to ask what happened. The background is sending the message.

“I’m sorry, if I had just fought, I would have subdued them easily. Don’t use a lot of energy like this guy. Use effective movements to subdue it.”

The instructor clicked his tongue and continued.

“There may be some monsters in the dungeon. You should always save your power in preparation for such monsters. Fight efficiently. Do you understand?”

“Yes, I understand!”

The trainees answered loudly.

And the training continues.

While reading a book, Si-Jun Park occasionally raised his head to watch them.

‘A swordsman who has been trained for a thousand years. Identify weaknesses.’

That was the thought that popped into my mind.

Among the effects of the Samjae Swordsmanship, there was the identification of weaknesses. What is that weakness?

“Considering the original case…”

Gilcheon, who had achieved enlightenment, used to find loopholes in the opponent’s movements.

are you saying that I didn’t know yet.

“Shake, fuck…!”

As Park Si-jun was thinking about it, Jo Kang-jae, who was very angry, approached him.

Originally, he had a personality like a chaplain, but these days he has gone beyond the chaplain and has become a bastard.

The reason is Han Joong-hyun, who has recently become a hot topic.

He doesn’t care, but he was feeling a sense of rivalry alone.

‘She is angry because she has low potential, this is it.’

Thanks to this, today’s crude steel is in its midst of low pressure.

He had been like that since the old days, but he started arguing with the same trainees for all sorts of reasons.

“Hey, Class F.”

It seems that Park Si-joon was the target today. He clicked inwardly.

“Why did you come here with no background?”

‘Another useless argument.’

Park Si-joon tried to ignore him because it was annoying to deal with.

That further scratched the properties of the crude steel.

The slurred swear words continued to flow.



“Huh, now even potential F is ignoring me. Hey, don’t people say things like that? Huh?”

Park Si-jun sighed.

It’s not the first time he’s been arguing.

Normally, if I ignore it, I fall out of the grass, but today, I don’t think that’s the case.

“If you get hit in the face in Jongno, fix it there. Don’t come to the Han River to express your anger.”

“What?”

Jo Kang-jae’s impression was wrinkled. It was unexpected that Park Si-jun would say such a thing.

“If you’re angry with Han Joong-hyun, go to him and say something. Are you one or two years old?”

“You, you, this bird…”

“Or do you feel inferior because the person you like, Lee Min-ah, is stronger than you? Oh, did you hit the peak?”

Jo Kang-jae’s face turned red as if it was about to explode.

It was a fact that anyone at the training camp knew that he had a crush on Lee Min-ah.

“It’s not a kid. Hey, is this school? Training camp, training camp. Youth plays only at school.”

“…Do you really want to die? Kill me like you did before?”

“Try to do that. Oh, Instructor. I have a question for you. Those goblins…”

Jo Kang-jae tried to rush, but before that, Park Si-joon asked the instructor a question.

As long as the instructor is watching, even that guy can’t engage in fights or anything like that. If you make a mistake, you will be expelled.

‘Annoying child.’

After roughly asking the question, Si-Jun Park went to the corner.

There are few pages left. He read his novels at great speed until it was his turn.

[You have read ‘Disaster Level Magical Talent’.][Intellect has increased by 1.2 due to the effect of Reading Reading.](Read more @ wuxiax.com)

[Number of works remaining until the realization: 3.]

Soon after, he finished reading the novel. He quickly opened the status window.

Stamina: 15.1 Intellect: 23

‘I’m happy.’

Now, if you have the ability, it’s roughly a potential C. I was very satisfied that I raised it from F to this level.

“Park Si-jun trainee, is there something wrong?”

“Oh, that’s fine.”

A light smile appeared on Park Si-joon’s face.

‘A trait with infinite growth potential.’

Reading addiction was a characteristic with infinite potential for growth.

When others struggle to raise one stat, Si-Jun Park only needs to read web novels.

Then your skills will go up.

‘I want to read more… … .’

Sorry, but I don’t think I have time for that.

“Instructor! I’ve been attending class at most, but shouldn’t Park Si-joon also practice with a monster once?”

Now was not the time either.

Jo Kang-jae groaned and shouted at the instructor.

“I heard that you asked for training from Instructor Jung Soo-min. Are you really okay?”

“Instructor, if you are a trainee, of course…”

“Cho Kang-jae, be quiet.”

The instructor silenced the noisy Jo Kang-jae.

Park Si-jun swallowed his saliva and asked himself.

‘Can you?’

Abilities, traits, and skills you currently have.

if these

‘I can do enough.’

The answer came.

Park Si-jun stepped forward slowly.

“Yes, you can.”

And he answered confidently.
