Reading Webnovels Makes Me Stronger

Chapter 163

There was silence in the exam hall.

Hyerim Choi felt a strong wind engulf her.

‘What?’

She carefully opened her closed eyes. It seems that she closed her eyes without realizing it as she clenched her fist.

“……uh.”

Then she saw her unexpected sight.

An artificial monster that was smashed to the point where its shape was unrecognizable. And the monsters wriggling behind them.

It was as if a large shock wave had been swept away.

“Um, uh…”

Hyerim Choi looked down at her own fist.

‘Did I do it?’

The moment she was about to give up, she remembered what Park Si-jun had said, and she moved while she gave up.

Raising her fist was a kind of groan.

[…] Candidates, please wait.]

But something unexpected happened.

Hyerim Choi stared blankly at the smashed artificial monsters.

“I did?”

She had no one to answer her questions.

* * *

That was a surprise.

A surprise that no one could have predicted. Not to mention Do-won Lee, the scout who was watching must have been the same.

Even Park Si-joon’s expectations were exceeded.

[…] Uh, um.]

Choi Hye-rim threw her fist in her fist.

Who would have expected that it would clean up all the monsters in the testing room?

“What, that…”

Lee Do-won let out a sigh.

what happened His brilliant eyes clearly grasped what had just happened.

‘Hyerim Choi used buff magic on herself.’

So far, it’s not strange. The problem was what happened next.

‘The moment I punched my fist while stepping on it, it touched the monster’s abdomen.’

The body of the artificial monster was smashed.

And the shock wave that followed swept the monster in the back.

That was the end of what had just happened.

“…the priest.”

Lee Do-won stuttered in embarrassment.

It is rare for an examinee to destroy an artificial monster, but it was not surprising.

The problem was that Hyerim Choi was not a fair judge, but a priest who made a contract with the Golden Saint.

“What did I see now?”

“Hey, wasn’t that student just a priest?”

“A priest? That one?”

The atmosphere around him became chaotic.

In such an atmosphere, Si-Jun Park sat quietly.

“Did you know?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, Hyerim Choi would do that.”

“I do not know.”

Park Si-jun was speechless.

Lee Do-won was sure that he knew about it.

The question was, how did you know that?

‘Kim Baek-kyung and Lee Soo-young were recruited by Si-jun Park as guild members. Both were people whose potential was considered low.’

However, Lee Soo-young, whom I met today, had great potential that Lee Do-won could not help but covet.

In addition, Kim Baek-kyung was once a nerd in the workshop, but now he is a blacksmith who is gaining popularity.

‘Is there something?’

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

while he was thinking about it.

‘Did I know?’

Park Si-joon thought so to himself.

‘No, I roughly guessed it, but I didn’t know it would be that much.’

The advice I gave to Hyerim Choi was sincere. But I never thought that such a result would come out.

‘One room.’

Choi Hye-rim, who swung her fist, didn’t seem to have expected it to be like this.

Embarrassed, she alternately stared at her own fist and her smashed monster.

[This test is to evaluate the ability of the examinee as a priest… No, for a moment.]

The supervisors were equally confused.

I tried to evaluate the priest’s ability, but the priest smashed the monsters with his fist.

I’m just confused on how to rate it.

“Lee Do-won, what will happen?”

“What? Evaluation?”

Park Si-jun nodded his head.

Lee Do-won frowned and touched the back of his neck in reply.

“Well, it’s unprecedented, but maybe we’ll check again and change the evaluation criteria.”

“Is that possible?”

“The practical exam is more fluid than the written exam. Anyway, it’s good to have at least one more talented player.”

Therefore, it was said that the practical test would be changed according to Hyerim Choi, and the evaluation would be made accordingly.

‘Then the probability of passing is going to go up.’

Park Si-jun touched his chin. The movement that Hyerim Choi showed a while ago came to mind again.

The movement was similar to his own.

‘It felt like I was copying my shredder.’

Is it your mood?

No, it wasn’t my mood.

Although different in detail, it was definitely a movement that imitated his own right to crush.

“Did you see and follow me?”

Park Si-joon burst out laughing.

He had a feeling he had found a great man.

* * *

[…] This concludes the competency evaluation of the candidate Hyerim Choi. Thank you.]

As a result, Hyerim Choi passed her practical exam.

I decided to evaluate her by mixing the evaluation criteria of the priest and the evaluation criteria of a warrior.

It’s her personal guess, but she seemed to get a high score.

“Ah, yes. Head of the department. I found a rather unusual examinee. I wanted to ask for your opinion…”

“Yes, Choi. Hye Rim. Choi Hye Rim. Quickly investigate and send me the file.”

Her scouts were busy at the same time.

To them, Hyerim Choi was a target they did not care about in the first place.

However, the fact that she showed such destructive power means that there is a possibility.

She said, “I thought she had nothing to save, but there was one.”

Her scouts had no choice but to be greedy.

‘Lee Do-won as well.’

He, too, was looking for something on his tablet PC. Maybe it’s about Hyerim Choi.

But their surprise did not end with Hyerim Choi.

[Next student, Sooyoung Lee.]

Lee Soo-young, who had been waiting in the waiting room for a long time, finally entered the examination room.

She clenched her two daggers and slowly took her breath away.

“Lee Soo-young. How about you, how confident are you as a guild leader?”

“What kind of confidence she is. Are you going to pass?”

Lee Do-won nodded his head.

Instead of answering, Park Si-jun smiled.

It was a smile that looked like he was talking nonsense like that.

[Lee Soo-young’s ability evaluation will start in 5 seconds. 5, 4, 3, 2… … .]

“When he falls, he puts a bowel in my hand.”

“What?”

While the count was in full swing, Park Si-jun suddenly spoke up.

Before Lee Do-won could say anything more.

[…] One.]

A competency evaluation has begun.

Lee Soo-young glared at the artificial monsters in front with fierce eyes.

She quietly kicked the ground.

OK.

“Ummm…!”

Lee Soo-young’s new model disappeared in an instant.

Lee Do-won opened her eyes.

No, she didn’t disappear.

I could see the new model, which had become blurry like a shadow, brushing past the inside of the test room and around the monster.

literally instantaneous. She was at such a speed that she might have missed it if she hadn’t been paying attention.

percussion!

“What, what…”

Park Chan-chan Lee Soo-young appeared from the other side of the test center.

The moment when the scouts who did not understand the situation were trying to express their doubts.

Get a card!

The artificial monsters roared and fell to the floor all at once. His whole body was shattered, and he was a miserable mogol.

“……”

“……”

Silence reigned in the exam hall again.

“Did I say? It’s a bowel movement.”

“…huh.”

Lee Do-won had no choice but to do the same.

‘What the hell are you doing?’

I also had questions about Choi Hye-rim and Lee Soo-young, but more about Park Si-joon than that.

‘I should have recruited you somehow… … ‘

and also regret.

* * *

Two unexpected candidates appeared in the second license exam, which no one expected.

Hyerim Choi and Sooyoung Lee. Thanks to this, the scouts were also unexpectedly busy.

“No, where did these guys come from?”

“Wow, I can’t contact you because I’m having an exam… Hey, when did you say the exam ends today?”

“It’ll be over by five o’clock in the evening.”

“Oh, there’s still plenty of time left. Damn it.”

While the exam is being taken, even a scout cannot contact the candidates.

So the scouts were in a situation where only their feet were rolling.

“Well…….”

While they were doing this, Si-Jun Park looked at the examination room with suspicious eyes.

The reason was simple. He was trying to find a villain who might have infiltrated.

‘I can’t find it no matter how much I look for it.’

According to Han Go-woon, the test site is protected by a strict security system.

Did he say he combined magic and science?

In the first place, it was said that it was a structure where villains and magicians could not hide.

‘Well.’

Although he did not hear the detailed principle or structure, Si-Jun Park was a little skeptical about it.

Could there be such a perfect security system?

‘If that was the case, villains and demons wouldn’t have been running around like they are these days in the first place.’

In the first place, he himself was practicing at the training center, but wasn’t he attacked by the Majin?

“Well…….”

At that time, the gray Jinjo was the culprit.

He made a trainee into a demon and used it to meet him.

‘It means you made trainees into demons.’

The Lord of Shadows did something similar to Sooyoung Lee.

What if you did the same to other students?

‘If there is a hidden magician among the students… … ‘

With that in mind, I continued to check the talents of the students until now.

But still no results.

“Did I get it wrong?”

Park Si-jun organized his thoughts from the beginning.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

‘Their goal is to take Lee Soo-young.’

It was a guess, but it was a guess that was close to certainty.

Not many people know about Lee Soo-young. The lord of shadows and their knapus, and a few members of the association.

‘They are trying to kidnap Lee Soo-young in this testing ground.’

Usually, Lee Soo-young hangs out with Yoon Shi-hana and Han Go-woon.

He is guarded by the association when he is at home, and wherever he goes.

He assumes that someone can target him and prepares for it.

‘This time it was different.’

If Major Lim hadn’t hinted at him, he wouldn’t have guessed at all.

Until now, the testing ground had never been attacked by villains or demons.

He would have been vigilant even if he was Park Si-joon.

‘If I try to kidnap Lee Soo-young.’

You will be aiming for the mock expedition test, as initially thought.

At that time, it is difficult to enter the examination room from the outside and to go out of the examination room.

‘The thing that bothers me is Han Go-woon and the other players.’

If it were him, he would have found a way to turn their gaze away.

What is that method? Things that can turn everyone’s eyes outward.

‘monster.’

Park Si-joon’s eyes lit up.

Jormungand once did that. He released the monsters, and tried to take advantage of the gap to take the desired object.

‘Even if it’s not a monster, he’ll try to divert his gaze from the outside in some way.’

Taking advantage of the confusion even to the inside of the test center, he retrieves the target and runs away.

‘If you try to kidnap Lee Soo-young during a mock expedition or survival test… … .’

It is most convenient to mix preliminary minds among the students.

Park Si-jun quickly went to the waiting room.

All the candidates waiting for the mock expedition exam to begin soon were gathered there.

‘If the guess is correct, there is a magic between them.’

It’s just conjecture anyway. The probability of being wrong is higher than the probability of being right.

But other than this, I couldn’t think of anything else.

‘If there is a magician.’

Park Si-Jun quickly scanned the students.

I already skimmed half of it during the written test.

The problem is the other half. There was absolutely no time.

‘If there is a magic in between, where is she?’

Park Si-jun recalled his own experience.

Kim Kyung-ho made a party with himself and tried to attack inside the dungeon. Although he knew in advance and dealt with it.

Park Si-joon stared at Lee Soo-young. To be precise, he saw people approaching her.

In the waiting room, there are people who make contact with the students and organize a party.

perhaps… … .

‘Maybe among them.’

There were a lot of students who had heard of Lee Soo-young’s activities, so there were many students who approached him.

Park Si-jun glanced at them quickly.

The talent window appeared and disappeared in front of him repeatedly.

And.

“…found.”

There was a faint smile on his lips.
