Chapter 162

away from the test site.

A group of men stood in the shadows.

They were so perfectly assimilated with the shadows that at first glance you could not even tell if they were there.

“……”

At the front stood a man covered in black leather armor.

He looked towards the examination room.

“Captain, all preparations are complete.”

Then a man approached him.

“Exactly five hours later, the mock expedition begins. Objectives will also participate.”

“What is the probability of falling?”

“No. He was raised well.”

“It’s good for us.”

The man called the captain gave a fishy smile.

“The outer boundary is strict. It won’t be easy to enter because barrier magic and recognition magic are also on it.”

The man swung the dagger in his hand.

“But there is always a way.”

His body slowly seeped into the shadows.

“He promised him a great reward. He said he would help Jormungand as well.”

The man’s eyes shone sharply.

“This task will be completed unconditionally.”

* * *

The test has begun.

All the students who were walking around gathered at the examination hall and began to take the written test.

‘How old do you remember the old days.’

Looking at it, I remembered that I used to take the written test in the past.

Originally, he was confident in his handwriting, but thanks to the effect of his character, he was able to write more easily.

“Hmm……”

There was a separate space for scouts in the exam hall.

Park Si-jun looked at the students there. Next to him, Ishimi was nodding and sleeping.

– Whoa, whoa… … .

-Gorong, Gurreung… … .

“You’ve been around for a while, are you sleeping now?”

He was sleeping with his body curled up in the form of an Imoogi.

A cat was lying on it.

‘This cat. Suddenly, naturally… … ‘

It didn’t even feel strange to have this guy now. It must have been like this once it was formed.

‘I want to raise it as a pet, though.’

Park Si-jun gently reached out to the cat. Then his tail slapped his hand.

It didn’t hurt, but I felt bad.

“I think I’m going to throw it away.”

Park Si-joon looked around the exam room in annoyance.

‘The outside is being watched by Han Go-un and his men.’

His job is to keep an eye on the inside. He checked the students one by one with a scout.

‘When you take a test, your boundaries are weakest.’

Park Si-jun thought about it again there. So where is the place where the boundaries are the weakest?

‘Inside the exam room.’

Survival, originally called a simulated expedition test. The test site was built by following the shape of the dungeon.

‘Broad and not complicated.’

Due to such a characteristic, if something goes wrong, it is difficult to come to help quickly from outside.

This means that the supervisors inside the examination room have to solve the problem among themselves.

‘If I were the villains… … ‘

And if she was going to take Lee Soo-young with her, she seemed to be aiming for the time to take the mock exam.

The question is, how do you get to the mock exam?

‘Maybe there is a way.’

Many of the villains’ recent moves were beyond common sense. Don’t think common sense.

“Ugh…”

Park Si-joon found Lee Soo-young while shedding a sigh. She was taking her exam calmly.

‘For now, I’ll take care of that guy.’

Like it or not, it seemed like it had to be today. Park Si-joon looked around and tried to find a suspicious person.

Then he found Jaehyun Kang and Hyerim Choi. Both were taking the exam with serious faces.

‘I’m interested in both of them.’

Especially Hyerim Choi.

Her talent was interesting. She had low potential, but considering her talent, it was like a guaranteed lottery ticket.

Jaehyun Kang was a little different.

Except for one talent, the rest of the talents were very insignificant. However.

‘It means that talent will change once they are recruited.’

Considering that, it was well worth recruiting.

Besides, unlike Choi Hye-rim, Kang Jae-hyun seemed to join the guild immediately if he spoke.

“Hmm……”

The test proceeded quickly.

After the written test and lunch break, the practical test of the candidates started immediately.

‘Is the first practical skill dealing with monsters?’

Since Park Si-jun was a warrior, fighting monsters was his first practical test.

It is to evaluate combat ability, knowledge of monsters, etc.

‘Is Sooyoung Lee still far away?’

She was waiting in the hallway.

Park Si-jun looked at the exam hall.

‘If a priest like Hyerim Choi… … ‘

There were Hyerim Choi, a monster, and a few people in the large practical test area.

No, to be precise, it’s not a person.

‘A golem in human form.’

This is to evaluate the response of the examinee, a priest, when the golems and artificial monsters fight.

‘It’s so unsettling.’

Hyerim Choi had a hard expression on her face. She wasn’t sure, and she didn’t know what to do.

“What will happen?”

Park Si-jun watched the exam.

* * *

A testing ground with golems and artificial monsters.

“Sup, woohoo.”

Hyerim Choi let out a long breath.

Before her practical exam, her excited heart couldn’t calm down.

She wasn’t excited and excited. It was because of fear.

‘I have to earn points here.’

Even if she messes with the mock expedition exam, if she earns a good score on the Isilgi, her chances of passing increase.

[We will start the ability evaluation in 30 seconds.]

The sound of the microphone was heard in Hyerim Choi’s ears, who were very nervous.

As soon as she heard her, her tension grew even greater.

‘Can I do it?’

Her abilities as a priest are not even worth half a penny.

She wonders if she can pass her practical exam on her own. I think she’s pretty good at writing.

“……..”

Hyerim Choi grabbed her wand.

She had her gloves on her hands. iron-lined gloves.

It was a close combat glove.

-Is there a law that says not to fight in close proximity as a priest?

The words Park Si-jun had said lingered in my mind. So it was an item I brought in case I didn’t know.

“Please don’t write anything.”

[…] Ability evaluation begins.]

And the practical exam began.

* * *

“The situation is bad.”

Park Si-joon, who was watching Hye-rim Choi’s test, frowned.

The golems are fighting the artificial monster, and Hyerim Choi is assisting the golems behind her.

‘The efficiency of divine magic is a little… … ‘

The problem was that.

Whether it was due to talent, recovery magic or buff magic, the effect was weak.

Thanks to that, the golems were being pushed.

“It’s a bit sad… huh?”

“…Well?”

Park Si-joon let out a sigh and stretched him for a long time.

Then someone came into his eyes. A man with a slender physique and an impression of haggard.

He was someone I had never seen before.

“Mr. Lee Do-won?”

“Park Si-jun, why are you here…”

It was Lee Do-won, the scout of Nemesis.

Park Si-jun opened his eyes in surprise. I’ll meet you here.

Do-won Lee asked, sticking out his tongue.

“Huh, have you already come as a scout?”

“Yeah, what happened?”

The atmosphere between the two was awkward. We know each other’s faces, but we don’t really have close acquaintances.

Lee Do-won coughed in vain.

“Sit down.”

“Yes.”

“…Do you want to drink? It’s new coffee.”

“Thank you for giving.”

Do-won Lee still handed me a cup of hot coffee.

“Did you come with someone else?”

“No, I came alone.”

“But why two cups of coffee…”

“You have to drink two glasses to wake up.”

“How many cups of coffee do you drink a day?”

“Well, I don’t know because I drank so much.”

The corners of Park Si-joon’s lips twitched.

“Then you die of caffeine poisoning.”

“Before that, I will die of stress, probably.”

Lee Do-won said with a laugh.

His face was full of fatigue, and he seemed to be under a lot of stress these days.

“Yeah, did you find some good talent?”

“Well, I haven’t seen it yet.”

“Hmm, do you have enough eyes to see it?”

Lee Do-won’s eyes looked at Park Si-joon.

She looked like she was observing. Park Si-jun smiled without saying a word.

“So, what’s going on with Lee Do-won? It’s probably because of scouting…. Other large guilds haven’t come.”

“But why did you come to Nemesis? Because there may be some talents that you might have missed. No matter how many talents there are, you have to recruit them whenever there is an opportunity.”

Lee Do-won’s eyes looking at Park Si-joon became sharp.

“I wish I could have recruited you if possible. Now that I’m the guild leader who runs the guild, I don’t know what to do with it. I’m sorry.”

It was like a hyena looking at its prey.

Park Si-jun didn’t answer, he just smiled.

“What were you looking for?”

“About one person. But…”

Do-won Lee saw the exam hall where the exam was held in full swing. And he watched a woman in the waiting room.

“They already have the owner.”

Someone said it was Lee Soo-young.

“You mean Lee Soo-young? It’s difficult. It’s already a member of our guild. You’re not trying to take it away, are you?”

“Actually, I thought about trying it.”

Park Si-joon’s eyes became fierce.

Lee Do-won smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders.

“There are people who can do that, and there are people who don’t. Lee Soo-young is obviously the latter. How do you make her so that she can’t even break out?”

“It’s a joke. It’s hard to hear.”

He couldn’t say it was because of his character.

“Heh. So, is there anyone you like?”

“There are about two.”

“Who is it?”

Lee Do-won’s eyes lit up. Just looking at it, it looked like it would be ripped off if I told you.

But it didn’t matter.

“This is Hyerim Choi and Jaehyun Kang.”

“With Choi Hye-rim… what?”

Lee Do-won frowned.

I didn’t know Choi Hye-rim, but Kang Jae-hyun was a name I had never heard of.

If she is a useful talent, she will always remember her.

If he doesn’t remember, it means he’s not a talented person.

“Hmm, isn’t Choi Hye-rim a priest? Although he is a priest, I heard that he couldn’t even do half the job.”

“It is.”

While the two of them were talking, the practical test began.

Hyerim Choi was protected by a golem in human form, and artificial monsters began to attack them.

The golems that blocked the attack gradually crumbled.

“If you cast recovery magic, it’s a golem that restores broken places. It’s a test of the priests’ resilience. Because it’s the most basic of the basics.”

“Choi Hye-rim…”

Hyerim Choi was healing her golems by generating divine power as hard as she could.

But she had little effect.

“The effect of recovery magic must be too weak.”

“Yeah, I don’t know why, but… The biggest reason for hiring a priest is because of recovery magic, and you can’t use it in such a state.”

The golem is crumbling.

In a little while, the artificial monsters will attack Hyerim Choi directly.

You won’t get good grades.

“If you go like this, it will be difficult to pass.”

“Yeah, it is.”

Park Si-jun watched Choi Hye-rim struggling.

She must feel it herself. If she doesn’t want to fall, she has to do whatever it takes.

‘What should I do?'(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Park Si-joon watched closely what Choi Hye-rim would do.

And.

“……”

A smile appeared on his lips as he looked at Hyerim Choi.

“If you go like this, that’s it.”

“Huh?”

Lee Do-won was puzzled.

Park Si-jun was confident that Choi Hye-rim would do something.

woo woo woo!

Then a roar echoed through the examination hall.

He looked back at the exam room.

“…that.”

A completely unexpected sight caught his eye.

* * *

Monsters are attacking you. I knew it was an artificial monster, but the momentum was enough to make my body tremble by itself.

Kaaan!

The condition of the golems blocking the attack was getting worse. If you leave it like that, it will break.

‘If you go like this, you will fall.’

Hyerim Choi felt it.

Her arms trembled, and she squeezed her divine powers until her heart ached.

It means that she used recovery magic on the golems without resting that much.

‘Yeah, I guess… … ‘

It’s not as good as the other priests using recovery magic.

He continued to use recovery magic, but the golems are not recovering.

woohoo!

Eventually, the golems began to fall one by one.

‘Is this how it ends?’

The monsters are approaching the falling golems.

The moment those artificial monsters attack you, the practical test is over.

in the form of the worst score.

‘I can’t end like this… … ‘

Hyerim Choi closed her eyes tightly.

Closed gyms, hardships in training camps, and how they looked when they failed their exams. arrogance was seen.

‘The last thing you want to do is try and struggle.’

And finally, I remembered what Park Si-jun said.

-Just buff you and fight monsters.

Hyerim Choi took a breath.

A priest who only invests in divine power stats fights with fists? That’s crazy.

But there was no way anyway.

“Ha.”

Hyerim Choi released her wand from her hand.

The falling cane splattered on the floor.

And she clenched her fists instead.

– Kya ha ha ha!

A beast-shaped monster rushes in.

Hyerim Choi’s body began to move at will.

‘How should I move?’

It was engraved in her mind.

The lessons she learned from her father when she was young, and the things she usually followed while watching videos.

“Ugh!”

Hyerim Choi clenched her fist.

And, there was a roar.
