Episode 87. all rounder (4)

‘I feel a sense of déjà vu.’

A senior who wants to be a leader. A senior whose timidity oozes from the atmosphere. A senior who seems to have no idea. As I watched them, I realized that this was not my fault.

‘no. It’s not like a sense of déjà vu.’

Although there are some differences, I have definitely experienced something similar like this.

Right at the beginning of Signal admissions. I experienced this situation when I was taking a joint class in 1st grade.

Nayeon Eom. Min Seo Eun. seolchaehwa. Together with the three of them, I became a team member, roamed the dark subway, and defeated the twin-headed crocodile.

Even then, Seol Chae-hwa stepped forward to become the leader, and Min Seo-eun showed a shrinking figure, wary of me. Coincidentally, it could be said that it overlapped with the two seniors in front of me.

“Before the exam begins, let’s share a few words.”

“You just shut up and be still. Why do you keep trying to come out?”

It was the reaction of a senior who stepped forward to take on the role of leader.

“If you say seniors, all three of them are seniors, so you get confused about who to call. Or, call that senior as leader senior. Shall we call the scared senior over there a timid senior?”

It would be perfect to call the senior over there who keeps quiet and doesn’t say anything as a taciturn senior.

“I don’t want to tell you anything like your name, do you? And you don’t even need to call us. You just follow directions.”

“Why should I?”

“I’m an experienced person who has been through this tryout twice. Beginners should follow the advice of the experienced. is not it?”

It was the theory itself.

‘I’m a Psychic Age player, so I’m more experienced than you guys… I can’t say that.’

If you want to come out like that, I’ll just accept it as a theory.

“You say you’re experienced, but this is the first time you’ve seen a face?”

“what?”

“The year before last. and last year. I checked all the members who were selected as the Meteor Shower national team. There was no senior face among them.”

No matter how many interviews you do, what’s the use if you don’t get hired? Experiences such as hollow gangjeong do not give strength to the weight of words.

“So what? It is true that you have experience in selection matches, whether or not you were selected for the national team. isn’t that important? Or do you have something to put forward above me?”

“Can it be that I was recognized for my talent as an adult by Seol Chae-hwa, the granddaughter of the leader of Chilsung?”

“You said you had a relationship with the lady from the conglomerate family… ?”

Apparently, these seniors only knew my notoriety and didn’t seem to know the rumors about the people around me.

“Why am I telling a lie that will soon be exposed? Oh, I see snowflakes over there. If you don’t believe me, go check it out.”

“You know I can’t ask you? Just wait.”

Leader-senpai seemed to think I was bluffing.

I thought I was going to go to the group where the seolchaehwa was in stride, but the expression suddenly changed. His eyes, which had been sharply open, changed to sad eyes in an instant.

‘Look at this?’

On the other hand, Seol Chae-hwa looked at the leader with one eyebrow furrowed. I couldn’t hear what they were talking about because of the distance, but I could tell just by looking at their facial expressions.

‘His eyes are like what else?’

Seol Chae-hwa treats people differently depending on how talented she is. I didn’t know what he was saying, but I could tell just by looking at his expression and gestures.

swish

Eventually, as if driving away flies, Seol Chae-hwa motioned for her to leave, and then the leader sunbae returned with a poop-chewed expression.

“Chit. In the end, it’s because your family is good. I know you’ll be anything The b*tch, who is suspected of having recently joined hands with the septagram, is being cheeky… … .”

Seeing him gossip, it seems that Seol Chae-hwa has been subjected to factual violence.

“Have all your questions been answered?”

“what! That’s why you are the best! uh? What do you mean you want to be a leader?”

I was surprised.

On the way back, his voice suddenly became booming, probably because he had boiled and ate the train firebox. I must have cried because I was angry at being embarrassed by Seol Chae-hwa.

“I have my eyes too. If a senior said he would show himself as a leader in front of his juniors, how could he intervene?”

“Then don’t be shy in the first place and stay still!”

Do you think that if you have a loud voice, you can win an argument? There were really no children.

‘Hey, the average age of adults entering Signal is around 20 to 21.’

It was the same with the military. The time when you just took off your high school student shirt and thought you were an adult and you were in full swing. On that subject, there are so many kids who have given away the basic manners that adults should take care of.

“Are you sure you can be a good leader?”

“What if I don’t have it!”

“Try it once, and if you don’t feel like doing it, just let go. I don’t want to ruin the exam by following an incompetent leader.”

It was just sewage to try to steal the leader’s seat here.

‘Because it is necessary for people who come out in such a one-dimensional way to understand their subject first.’

It was the same situation as when I dealt with the arch trio last time. If this leader sunbaenim was really talented, there’s no way I wouldn’t know his face.

I remember all the names and faces of the students who survived until the ninth day. Unfortunately, none of our members were on that list.

rather.

‘Those three guys in my rival position.’

Youngtae Kwon. variable number. Byungmin Woo. All the members assigned to them are familiar faces. All of them were talented people who survived until the ninth day.

Wait, it’s even more absurd to see it like this again.

From nob le mt l. com

Jeong Gyu-min guy. Could it be that the capabilities of all members of the team were also identified and assigned in this way? Given the wickedness of the guy, it was a story with enough potential.

“Then do as I say! He didn’t listen to me properly and sat down with a fault.”

“yes. All right. Do it well.”

“Are you sarcastic toward your senior?”

“If you want to be treated as a senior, do something worthy of respect first.”

“You’re young and you’re messing around.”

I really couldn’t stop laughing at this.

I see It was like that. This only spread in infamy, but it doesn’t seem to have spread until how old I am.

“Ugh. don’t laugh badly Because it’s disgusting.”

The leader sunbaenim frowned at my smile as if he was disgusted.

hey Do-yoon Kim, uncle, man, etc. I only heard things like this, so it’s fresh and nice to be treated like this.

“Ah, yes. sister. As a junior and younger person, I will listen carefully~”

At this time or when will you enjoy it?

With a happy heart, I followed the leader sunbaenim.

***

Chew!

I nodded my head while watching the leader sunbaenim’s performance.

‘Certainly, I can’t ignore the school year’s junk food.’

It was said that the situation was similar to the joint class of the past day, but there was a clear difference.

Including the leader senior, the timid senior and the taciturn senior. Both of them had at least a year of experience at Signal, so the basics were clear.

‘That would be natural. I’m sure all the gossips will have dropped out on the 5th day.’

but.

“Huh. omg!”

“senior. Aren’t we too late?”

Starting on the 6th day, you cannot survive with only mediocre specs. From this first day, the same grade and the same position in earnest. Because the evaluation proceeds while comparing each other with so-called competitors.

“Are you shutting up? Why is a guy who only shoots from behind safe talking so much?”

“Excuse me, but this is the first time I said a word after entering the dungeon.”

“As a leader, this is an order. shut up.”

The 6th day was a test to pass the model dungeon prepared by Signal in a group of 4 people. Of course, the road was like a maze, and there were various traps and even monster rooms.

It didn’t end here.

『Group C. Youngtae Kwon, Gangwon Huh. Kyungmin Noh. Chae Boram. Pass.”

『Group F. variable number. Hyungmin Son. Seongho Lee. Cho Joo-hwan. Pass.”

A special announcement is being made for this exam. Participants were put into the dungeon at the same time, and voice notifications were heard in the order they passed first.

The instructor and examiner did not comment on this. If you simply accepted this, it was an issue that could be passed over as if someone passed through.

‘But people’s psychology is not designed to accept things as they are.’

Why bother broadcasting who passed through and telling them in real time?

It will feel like unspoken pressure. These groups passed so quickly, but what are you guys doing?

‘As predicted, the faster it passed, the more points it gave.’

Here is a fact that many overlook.

The point is that you get a higher score when you show your true worth at the test site than when you get extra points for passing quickly. He was so immersed in the former that it would be the end if he was put on top of a talented Jo Won.

I looked at the leader senior.

She has a natural ability to manipulate magnetic fields. Based on that power, he manipulated a sharp iron club to tear the Monstrum to pieces.

Perhaps it was because he didn’t shout loudly for no reason, but his skills were top-notch. This was the case when it was judged simply by force.

“hey! get out of there! It’s getting in the way!”

“Ugh! yes!”

Senior Sosim, who was in charge of the tank role in the front line, fell back in a hurry.

“What are you doing? You should get out too! You’re getting in the way of my attack!”

“… … .”

The taciturn senior seemed to be standing still for a while, but soon fell to one side like the timid senior.

Kwajijik! Kwadeuk!

As you can see, my position is 2 tank 2 dealer. However, while clearing the dungeon, there was almost no activity from the tank seniors.

“hey! gunman! What are you doing without shooting those flying flies!”

“Weren’t you dealing with it yourself?”

“That’s out of my magnetic field control range!”

Caang! Caang!

He said while removing the flying type Monstrum that was flying in the air with the Astrolabos.

“I knew you would take care of it. You said you caught it earlier, but the attack line got twisted because of you.”

“Don’t you even know how to do it? Do I even have to explain that?”

“senior. Don’t take a second look. It’s not over yet.”

Chow!

“What… Kyaaak!”

The leader sunbaenim was thrown straight into the liquid-type trap that poured from the ceiling.

“senior! Gwa, are you okay?”

“damn. What else is this? There was no trap like this last year?”

“By the way, senior… . The school uniform you’re wearing… … .”

I couldn’t hide my laughter as I saw the leader sunbaenim’s face gradually turning into embarrassment.

‘It’s a memory. Watch this in the real version.’

As I always emphasize, Psychic Age was a game in itself. It’s also a game for men based on unyeonsi. What elements do male players want in such a game?

I’ve already been through a similar situation.

“Kyaaa what’s this!”

The leader sunbaenim’s clothes, which had been splashed with trap-type liquid, began to melt.

‘Sometimes there were users like that. The guys who purposely let me fall into that trap to see the heroine exposed and took screenshots of it.’

FYI, I didn’t do anything like that. After the heroine fell into that trap, for some reason, her likability was greatly reduced. I didn’t like suffering extreme losses for the sake of fleeting pleasure.

Sosim sunbaenim sweated and approached her.

“Stop, senior. Can I get you my school uniform jacket?”

“Give it quickly! Before that pervert stares! Hey, lend me the cardigan you’re wearing too! Because I have to use it as a substitute for a skirt!”

“… … .”

At the leader senior’s cry, the taciturn senior lowered his gaze.

“Why are you doing that? Would you like to borrow a cardigan? Do you hate it?”

After the leader asked again, the reticent senior took off his cardigan and handed it to her.

‘I can’t come to my senses because things I don’t know suddenly pop up.’

The leader senpai muttered something like why did this trap come out and that the guy who devised this trap should be reported right away.

That liquid type trap. At first glance, it may seem impure, but the intention was clear. Because there was an individual in the monster room that secreted a special acidic liquid.

‘It’s a bit of aegyo to stop naked. If I got hit by that monster’s secretion in real combat, my skin would melt.’

At least, if he had raised his combat readiness even stronger, he might have prevented his clothes from completely melting. The leader sunbaenim’s view was narrowed due to shame and he just couldn’t think of it that far.

I recalled the contents of the test in this model dungeon once again.

‘Even if I tried as a proper member, it was a difficult test. To take such a test with such a mess… … .’

The future has already been seen.

There was nothing to go far right away.

Tuong!

“What is this monster room? why are you so hard Hey, was there even a monster room like this?!”

appear.

Smile Deal.

It was a minor Monstrum that was not well known to the public.

Its appearance is reminiscent of an armadillo, and its body length is 130 cm on average. Like the Recon Eagle I encountered last time, it was a non-preemptive entity, but there was one difference.

‘Recon Eagle prioritizes avoidance when attacked, and starts a counterattack when cornered… … .’

Once attacked, Smile Dillo relentlessly attacks the target until it disappears from sight. Even when they came near me, they started attacking me.

He was blocking the road we had to cross. I just had to catch it.

‘It’s characteristic is that it rolls its body into a ball and attacks as if bouncing around.’

Empty! Tuong!

The upper of the guy couldn’t even be scratched with the scrap metal awl piloted by the leader. Even the defense was such a terrifying yard, and it was a being equipped with compliance evasion.

“Why are you so hard! Aren’t these monster rooms against the rules?”

I could see Smile Dillo bouncing back and forth on the walls of the maze, avoiding the leader senior’s scrap metal awl.

and.

Kwok Kwok Kwok Kwok Kwok Kwok.

The boy stopped for a moment and let out a strange cry.

It was just that, but it seemed as if a voice could be heard. Can’t even get it right on the subject that can’t even pierce the upper? Doesn’t that sound like something to laugh at?

‘The name isn’t Smile Dillo for nothing.’

Skilled combat adults, even ‘Hunters’, who specialize in killing monsters, have a hard time dealing with Smile Dilo.

If experts are like that, how shocking would it be for a guy who hasn’t experienced an adult social life yet?

thud! cooong!

It was around the time that the leader sunbaenim, who had failed to adjust his pace, was out of breath while Smile Dilo was bouncing around for a long time.

Kyo oh ok!

Smiledilo, who found a gap, let out a strange scream. After that, he immediately rushed towards the leader senior.

“Quang!”

“… … .”

There was nothing the timid senior and the taciturn senior could do. Because the leader sunbaenim had already gathered all the aggro he needed to hold onto as a tanker.

‘The fate of the dealer who couldn’t manage aggro is obvious.’

There is only one best thing I can do here. All he had to do was take out the glucose candy he had put in his jacket pocket and eat it.

“Keep it off!”

Smile Dilo’s nimble torso slam explodes.

The body of the leader sunbaenim, who was properly hit in the abdomen, bent like a bow. As it was, it flew to the wall of the maze and eventually crashed with a bang.

“Senior Rat Po. Are you alive?”

“Oops. ugh turn it off… .”

It seems like I can’t breathe, so I keep wheezing. The impact was so great that the wall it collided with was severely damaged.

“Senior, do you know the rules for this exam? I’ll count for 10 seconds, so if you can’t get up on your own, it’ll be counted as a retirement.”

I calmly counted for 10 seconds so I didn’t say anything. The leader sunbaenim seemed to be struggling to get up somehow, but in the end he picked it up and was scattered on the floor.

I lifted it as if I crossed my arms toward the air.

Shortly after, Smiledilo, which tried to run at us again, turned into particles of light and disappeared, then healer adults appeared out of nowhere and carried the leader on a stretcher to the emergency exit.

『Group A. If you make a circular motion with both hands, the test will resume immediately.”

While the announcement was being played, I looked at the other members of the group and asked.

“Who will be the 2nd leader? Who will inherit it?”

There was no answer coming back.

that it is

“You mean you won’t be dissatisfied with my role as leader?”

“Ugh, ugh.”

“… … .”

Sosim senior who is positive even if it is small, and reticent senior who is still silent.

I shook my head.

‘I’m in trouble with this attitude.’

Such a lukewarm reaction in the yard where you fail the exam even if you work with all your heart. With such a rotten spirit, I couldn’t make it until the ninth day and fell.

“Seniors. If you really intend to accept me as your leader, then of course you should cooperate with me, right?”

There is no time to take it slow and take care of it. This is a world of harsh trials. There was no room for me to come and go on a stage where someone judged me.

“What cooperation… ?”

“… … ?”

I made a calm request to the seniors who are still wary.

“So, first of all, let’s get rid of the combat readiness that everyone is wearing.”

If you can’t improve your mindset on your own, I’ll remodel it with my own hands.
