– Volume 3 Episode 7

After a while, Ki Chul-min appeared in the hologram room.

The monster he was dealing with was a kobold.

They were relatively weak monsters, but the number of them was a whopping five.

They surrounded Ki Cheol-min and attacked by stabbing him with a spear, but Ki Cheol-min showed an unexpected performance.

Perhaps he was accustomed to fighting one-on-one, he calmly killed them one by one while avoiding the encirclement of them with his clever footwork.

It was a fight worth seeing, but unfortunately Ki Cheol-min was not able to attract the attention of the audience.

All the test takers turned their attention to Jung Daesik, who destroyed the hologram room used by Group A.

Everyone glanced at him and glanced at him, staring at him with envy for nothing, or glaring at him with sympathetic eyes.

‘Oh, that’s a burden.’

Among them, Ki Chul-min’s test was over.

His result was a narrow victory.

Despite his great craftsmanship, he struggled with the large number of kobolds.

He has a high damage percentage, so if he had just one more kobold, he would have been defeated.

That is why, even after the victory, Ki Chul-min’s expression was not bright.

When he came back, he spoke again with his bitter taste.

He said, “I should have shown an impressive performance, but it’s a pity.”

However, Jung Daesik felt differently.

His mock battles were impressive enough.

‘This guy, maybe he’ll stick…’

With a foreboding that Ki Chul-min might pass, Jung Daesik waited for the second test to be over.

* * *

Soon after, all the second tests were over, and the announcement of the successful candidates began.

The faces of those who were defeated in the mock battle were generally dark.

He was killed by a monster, so he was expecting that he would have failed the test.

But the results were unexpected.

Even after losing the mock battle, people who passed it began to come out one after another.

Surprisingly, there were people who were defeated even after winning, but when his turn passed, he went straight to the supervisor and protested.

“No, those guys lost and won the mock battles! But why am I dropping them? I said I won the mock battle! What’s wrong with this!”

The supervisor checked his exam number, but said in a cold tone.

“There’s nothing wrong with that.”

“Anything wrong? Then what the hell did you drop me for?”

“I won the monster, but I took too much damage. If this had been a real battle rather than a mock battle, I wouldn’t have survived even after defeating the monster. So, there’s no point in catching a monster. Besides, the opponent was a gnoll. You have to risk your life to catch it. It wasn’t even worth it.”

Despite the supervisor’s explanation, the Hunter was not discouraged.

he shouted out loud.

“If this had been a real battle, I would have had a colleague! I would have gotten potions or heals, so my life wouldn’t have been affected! Besides, this is a test, isn’t it?

“It would have been a more dangerous situation if I had a comrade. Others would have had to pour out their magic to save you. Even if you don’t discuss the value of monsters, it’s the same. If you’re at the 7th level, it should be easy enough to play. However, if you have struggled this much with the gnoll, it means that the status measurement is not accurate or there is a problem with the operation of the ability.”

“However……!”

“Either way or another, it doesn’t fit the kind of talent we’re looking for in the Titan Raid. Please train more and come back next time.”

At the supervisor’s words that cut like a knife, Hunter could no longer protest.

If he did, he withdrew with a dissatisfied expression as he was about to be taken away immediately.

Jung Daesik, watching the scene, got nervous and shook his feet.

It didn’t matter if I won or lost the monster.

Jung Daesik’s actions may have been unsatisfying from the point of view of those who are interested in the facts.

Contrary to what Ki Chul-min said, it wasn’t strange if he fell because he couldn’t control his power and destroyed the hologram room.

But then.

“Exam No. 674, Jung Daesik, you have passed.”

When he heard that he was attached, Jung Daesik was overjoyed.

“Oh yea!”

He clenched his fists and shouted for joy.

‘Hahaha! Glad you got it! Then yes. Where else can you find a talented person like me? Even if I look like this, I’m a tripleist!’

He groaned inwardly and enjoyed the afterglow of success.

Not long after that, Ki Chul-min’s name was also called.

Ki Chul-min was not as openly delighted as Jung Daesik.

He had a calm expression on his face, but he couldn’t hide the joy in his eyes.

Jung Daesik patted his side and said.

“It’s stuck.”

“It’s stuck.”

When Cheol-Min Ki saw Jung Daesik, he laughed as if he couldn’t stand it any longer.

Seeing such Ki Chul-min, Jung Daesik put a bar on his lips that came to mind.

“Hopefully we can join the same raid.”

Ki Cheol-min shrugged his shoulders instead of answering.

When I first met him, I thought he was a thorn in the eye.

It felt strange because I thought that if we did well, we could become a team.

Jung Daesik waited for the announcement of successful applicants, thinking that maybe he had some kind of relationship with Ki Chul-min.

There weren’t that many people who passed the second test, so the announcement was soon over.

Only 30 people took the 3rd test.

Considering the number of test takers reached 1,500, it was a very small number.

The supervisor returned the unsuccessful candidates and notified the remaining successful candidates about the third test.

“The third test will be a real action.”

There was a commotion among the 30 successful applicants at the word “practicum”.

After waiting for the brief murmur to subside, the Overseer spoke again.

“The successful candidates here will form a team of five and enter the actual dungeon to hunt. The 3rd test will be held in three days, and we will send you the data on the dungeon to be attacked by tomorrow by e-mail. The team will be randomly formed. , supplies and a support team will be provided by our raid on Titan. So, I’ll take questions.”

As soon as the supervisor finished speaking, someone raised his hand.

“Is the 3rd test a team battle?”

The supervisor answered immediately.

“Once you are in a team, you will be moving towards the same goal. You can say it’s a team fight, but the final evaluation is done individually.”

“What is your goal?”

“I’ll tell you right before the third test.”

“Can I use my personal equipment and weapons?”

“Yes. You are free to use the items you own. However, we do not compensate for damage or loss. Other basic items will be provided by us.”

“As for the injuries?”

“You can withdraw. If you wish to withdraw due to a serious injury or any other reason, please let us know on the spot. Then we will receive support from our support team and get you out of the dungeon right away. Treatment for injuries that occur during testing A small amount of consolation money will also be paid in case of rain or any death that may occur.”

“If the target is revealed on the same day, is the judging criteria the same?”

“No. The judging criteria will be announced later. However, please keep in mind that we held this audition to select members of the Titan Raid.”

“Then the 3rd test is the last test?””After the third test, there will be a brief interview. That will be the last.”

After a brief question-and-answer session, the test takers dispersed three days later.

Jung Daesik broke up with Ki Chul-min and left the Titans.

And he thought as he rode the subway back to the inn room.

‘The 3rd test is real. It will not be a test to see only simple abilities. Probably trying to find a person who would be suitable for the Titan raid from various angles.’

I don’t know, but I wanted to have social skills like leadership.

I couldn’t say I’m very good at human relationships, so I was a little worried about that.

‘Oh, I don’t know. You’ll know when the day comes.’

Jung Daesik gave up his useless thoughts.

Instead, I decided to study what I could do to fully utilize my abilities by referring to the data that will be coming in tomorrow.

Episode 16. 3rd Test

The day of the 3rd test.

Jung Daesik received the notice and headed to the dungeon where the test would be held.

S6D was chosen as the 3rd test site.

It was one of the earliest dungeons discovered among the many dungeons that were created in Seoul.

The monsters that appear mainly are mushroom-like mushrooms, and there are various types such as poison-spreading ones, self-destructing ones, colliding ones, and decomposing ones.

It cannot be said that it is a difficult dungeon to attack, so it was used a lot as a training place for 8-9 level hunters.

In a way, it can be said that it is the most comfortable place to take the third test.

Perhaps that’s why the facial expressions of the test takers gathered at the entrance of the dungeon were loose.

If it had been a difficult dungeon, everyone would have seemed nervous, but since the opponent is Mushroom, it would be difficult to do so.

Even Ki Chul-min looked relaxed.

“Hey, Jung Daesik.”

Jung Daesik found Ki Cheol-min pretending to know him and approached him.

Ki Chul-min faced Jung Daesik and pointed his finger at the dungeon.

“The 2nd test was difficult, so I was wondering how difficult the 3rd test would be. It’s just an S6 dungeon. Is there anyone who goes to this old dungeon fortress?”

“If there are any injuries or deaths, the Titan Raid side has decided to take responsibility. Even if the dungeon is too difficult, it will be difficult. Above all, this is a test with a different goal. Wouldn’t the difficulty change depending on what it is?”

“It would be so.”

Amidst speculation, the supervisor appeared at the appointed hour.

After checking the number of 30 test takers to make sure they arrived properly, the supervisor started the briefing in earnest.

“As previously announced, the 3rd test will take place here, the S6 Dungeon. It is the place where the mushroom monsters appear. It is divided into four floors, and there are approximately three or four areas on each floor. The method of attack is the last floor. You get Yellow Stones by killing the Giant Mushrooms in .”
