Episode 44

When Min-joon entered the ‘Space of Trial’, the ranking changed instantly.

[First stage current overall ranking]

1st place Xenix Academy Cha Min-joon.

2nd place: Zhu Guanghu from Ciao Ma Academy.

3rd place Prow Academy Seo Ji-yeon.

4th place: Moeka Minami at Dooku Academy.

5th Forena Academy Yelena Ksenia.

… …

… …

The spectators in the stands, guild officials, etc.

In the sudden situation, they doubted their eyes.

“What is this?”

“Cha Min-jun?”

“Isn’t there something wrong with the screen?”

“Nonsense! There was no place more extreme than the Dark Dungeon!”

“You mean there was a trick like that in the thick forest?!”

“This is against equity.”

Some people said that information about the map of the First Stage was leaked to some participants.

However, it was impossible.

That would be too.

Maps in the First Stage category are produced within each country’s academy.

The uniqueness of the map is information known only to the creators.

Moreover, in the case of ‘Thick Forest’, it was not a map developed by Xenix itself.

Rather, it was the Prow Academy that produced ‘Lush Forest’.

“It’s amazing to have entered the space of trials! The understanding of the bow and the stability are quite good.”

“I thought so too. What’s more, Zenix has such a high-quality one-hander!”

“It’s enough to believe that he is from Prow Academy.”

“I hate to say this, but I have yet to see a student with such a deft archery skill as a freshman.”

“to? If Professor Chae says that, that’s a lot!”

Gahi, Prow Academy is known worldwide for its archery department.

Even Chae Jeong-mi, who is currently serving as the general advisor of Prow Academy, highly praised Min-joon.

Numerous archer hunters who have gone through her in the meantime.

All of them belonged to high-level guilds, and they were only Hunters who were recognized by everyone.

As she develops into a high-level archer, she is nicknamed the best leader.

She couldn’t take her eyes off Cha Min-joon.

‘Even with such skills… But why? Why did you enroll as a Genix?!’

Chae Jung-mi couldn’t help but think that way.

Originally, Zenix Academy was not an academy that systematically taught archery.

Rather, it was an academy specialized in swordsmanship.

However, after hearing the news that the Department of Archery was recently reorganized, my curiosity was growing in many ways.

‘Didn’t you say that you carried out a secret request on the recommendation of the president? I can’t believe this happens in Zenix.’

She monitored Minjun’s appearance in real time.

I could see that it was absolutely not the skill of handling a bow once or twice.

Also, the zero point and accuracy of aiming at the target were very high.

Considering that you are just a freshman in your first year.

The potential for the future was also worth considering.

‘I’m still in first grade, still. However… The possibilities are truly unlimited.’

until just a little while ago.

She was busy praising Joo Kwang-hu, who was in first place, and Seo Ji-yeon, who was in second place.

However, all of the attention turned to Cha Min-joon.

Rather, it seems that Cha Min-joon has superior skills than Seo Ji-yeon, whom he has taken as a disciple since his school days.

Chae Jung-mi was greedy for Cha Min-joon.

‘I’ll have to try it out. Archers with such talent can really be counted on one hand!’

space of trials.

At this point, Minjun needed to take another leap forward.

‘I’ll have to give it a shot at this point.’

Min-joon recalls the gold he had accumulated over the years.

He immediately opened a talent market.

[The talent market has been opened.]

Frost Shot 150,000G

Magma Eruption 160,000G

Strike Storm 170,000G

Light Spray 200,000G

Deadly Poison 250,000G

Roar of Thunder 300,000G

…

…

Gold (G) ▶ 200,000G

‘Well… … ‘

With the gold (G) he had, of course, he could raise his stats.

However, due to the nature of this map.

Minjun purchased the most necessary skills without hesitation.

[Purchased the skill ‘Light Spray’.]

＜Spray of Light [Lv 1]＞

▶Fire 10 arrows in a fan shape at regular intervals.

▶When hit, the opponent’s movement speed decreases, mana recovery decreases, and attack speed decreases sharply.

▶ Significantly increased additional damage against Undead type.

‘At this level, I think I’m almost ready.’

Because Minjun entered this space of trial through the open door.

They had to prepare for the mass appearance of undead type monsters.

I also couldn’t forget to choose a skill that matches my match.

In the original work, the main character’s response to this was lacking in many ways.

Considering that the sweet potato element was strongly exposed, Minjun needed to avoid that direction.

A skill purchased to prepare for this.

In the case of the ‘light spray’ that I just bought.

Because it was a skill with the ‘castle’ attribute that undead type monsters of intermediate level or higher were inevitably vulnerable to.

It was seen as having purchased the appropriate skill.

-Do you use your head quite a bit?

‘It’s not okay to look funny here. How many eyes do you have?’

– If I count them all, my head hurts.

‘At this point, I’ll have to slow down the tempo a bit.’

Minjun checked the time.

[Remaining time: 19 minutes 21 seconds]

Although the participants could not know their current ranking.

Min-jun, who checked the remaining time, was able to make a rough estimate.

‘Ju Guanghu must have arrived by now.’

Let’s explain it based on the original content.

The only person who arrives at the space of trial is Ju Gwang-hu.

That’s sweetness anyway.

He cannot completely clear the space of trials.

In addition to having already consumed a lot of mana in the dark dungeon, where the original body mana cost a lot.

This ‘Space of Trials’ was a place where 3 or 4 times more magic power was needed.

Rather, this was also the reason why Min-jun chose ‘thick forest’ from the beginning.

‘Next 10 seconds. 9… 8… 7… 6… .’

Min-jun deliberately waited for Joo Kwang-hu.

It’s because I wanted to see his expression once thinking that he is currently running in first place.

Because he was the original person who lived on his good taste.

I was so curious about what kind of expression he would make if he met him here.

‘Ding~!’

Tuck- Tuck-

When the count I shouted to myself was over, it was like a lie.

The sound of footsteps came towards Minjun.

***

On the other hand, Kwang-hu Joo was in a situation where his energy was much lower than before.

However, the final gateway that only you entered.

I was in a state where I forgot all the hardships for a while in the pride of stepping into the ‘space of trials’.

‘It wasn’t a place for slugs to set foot in the first place!’

Of course, mana, stamina, etc. from the beginning.

It was true that they had fallen in many ways, but it was necessary to broaden the dark field of view of the space of trials.

“From now on, my solo stage begins!”

Without needing to show a hard look, Zhu Guanghu boldly stepped forward.

“You really can’t see anything.”

It was true that the dark dungeon was also dark, but the space of trials here was even more so.

It was not only full of thick fog, but it was difficult to distinguish between the pits that were hollowed out.

But, of course, the hunters of each country right now.

When he felt that the officials were watching him, he never wanted to appear weak.

Because of this, despite the danger, Zhu Guanghu moved forward.

‘There’s not much time left!’

Zhu Guanghu’s footsteps were bold.

The moment he manages to escape the danger zone and breathes a sigh.

I could feel the popularity from the front.

‘Is it because of my mood?’

As he walked out with one step, two quick steps, he saw a man standing in front of him holding a bow.

“… !!”

Joo Gwang-hu was astounded.

Although he was surprised that there was someone else in this space of trial besides himself.

I couldn’t even imagine that there would be a contestant ahead of me.

“Uh, how come you before me?!”

Looking at the black bow, I could tell that it was an archer. But when I saw the school uniform I was wearing, I became curious.

“Jenix?”

Ju Guang-hu was convinced when he saw the zenix pattern reminiscent of a trident.

However.

“As far as I know, you must have chosen the thick forest earlier?! Why are you here!”

I clearly remember.

A thick forest that was thought to be a place for weak and cowardly people.

Of course, the features of the participant who vaguely chose that place.

Joo Gwang-hu also clearly remembered that he was a Jenix student.

It was Joo Gwang-hu who had a hard time understanding why he was here ahead of him.

“I haven’t come to a place I can’t come to, so why are you in such a temper?”

“What? I must have seen you going to the thick forest earlier!”

“Nandle, how do you know? I just followed the open road.”

“You bastard, how are you!”

“Are you going to grab me by the collar?!”

Zhu Guanghu became nervous.

On the other hand, Minjun pretended to be ignorant.

“I got here the right way too?! If you’re curious, check it out after this stage.”

“Damn it!”

It was then.

Suddenly, a sound like horseshoes grew louder and louder in the shadowy valley.

Joo Kwang-hu and Min-jun immediately prepared for battle.

“what?! What’s coming!”
